The consolidated interim 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, ~~2019~~2020 (“~~2019~~2020 Annual Report”)~~, except that effective January 1, 2020 the Company adopted accounting guidance related to the recognition of expected credit losses that is discussed in notes 2, 3 and 15 herein.~~. The financial statements contain all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented.

On February 22, 2021, M&T announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement with People’s United Financial, Inc. ("People’s United"), headquartered in Bridgeport, Connecticut, under which People’s United will be acquired by M&T in an all-stock transaction. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, People’s United shareholders will receive consideration valued at .118 of an M&T share in the form of M&T common stock. People’s United outstanding preferred stock will be converted into a new series of M&T preferred stock upon completion of the acquisition. The ~~United States~~transaction is valued at approximately $7.7 billion (with the price based on M&T’s closing price of $151.61 per share as of March 31, 2021).

The merger has been ~~operating under a state~~unanimously approved by the boards of ~~emergency related~~directors of each company. The merger is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2021, subject to the ~~Coronavirus Disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) pandemic since~~satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the receipt of regulatory approvals and approval by the shareholders of M&T and People’s United. As of March ~~13, 2020. The direct~~31, 2021, People’s United disclosed that it had total assets of $64.2 billion, including $42.8 billion of loans, $56.6 billion of liabilities, including $53.5 billion of deposits, and ~~indirect effects~~$7.6 billion of stockholders’ equity.

In connection with the ~~COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in a dramatic reduction in economic activity~~acquisition, the Company incurred merger-related expenses consisting predominantly of professional services for investment banking, legal and other services associated with the proposed transaction that ~~has severely hampered the ability for businesses and consumers to meet their current repayment obligations. The effects of the pandemic contributed to a significant increase~~totaled approximately $10 million in the ~~provision for credit losses during the~~ first ~~two quarters~~quarter of 2020. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), in addition to providing financial assistance to both businesses and consumers, creates a forbearance program for federally-backed mortgage loans, protects borrowers from negative credit reporting due to loan accommodations related to the national emergency, and provides financial institutions the option to temporarily suspend certain requirements under GAAP related to troubled debt restructurings for a limited period of time to account for the effects of COVID-19. The bank regulatory agencies have likewise issued guidance encouraging financial institutions to work prudently with borrowers who are, or may be, unable to meet their contractual payment obligations because of the effects of COVID-19. That guidance, with concurrence of the Financial Accounting Standards Board, and provisions of the CARES Act allow modifications made on a good faith basis in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were generally current with their payments prior to any relief, to not be treated as troubled debt restructurings nor be reported as past due. Modifications may include payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment term, or other delays in payment. The Company has been working with its customers affected by COVID-19 and has granted modifications across many of its loan portfolios. To the extent that such modifications meet the criteria previously described, the modified loans have not been classified as troubled debt restructurings nor reported as past due.2021.

The Company owned ~~341~~281 individual debt securities with aggregate gross unrealized losses of ~~$35~~$26 million at ~~June 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021. Based on a review of each of the securities in the investment securities portfolio at ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, the Company concluded that it expected to recover the amortized cost basis of its investment. As of ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, the Company does not intend to sell nor is it anticipated that it would be required to sell any of its impaired investment securities at a loss. At ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, the Company has not identified events or changes in circumstances which may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the ~~$380~~$386 million of cost method equity securities.

As described in notes 3 and 15, on January 1, 2020 the Company adopted amended accounting guidance that requires an allowance for credit losses be deducted from the amortized cost basis of financial assets, including investment securities held to maturity, to present the net carrying value at the amount that is expected to be collected over their contractual term. The Company estimated no0 material allowance for credit losses for its investment securities classified as held-to-maturity at ~~January 1, 2020~~March 31, 2021 or ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2020, as the substantial majority of such investment securities are obligations backed by the U.S. government or its agencies.

Effective January 1, 2020 the Company adopted amended accounting guidance which requires an allowance for credit losses be deducted from the amortized cost basis of financial assets to present the net carrying value at the amount that is expected to be collected over their contractual term 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 in the income statement as an adjustment to the provision for credit losses. The new guidance replaced the previous incurred loss model for determining the allowance for credit losses. The adoption resulted in a $132 million increase in the allowance for credit losses at January 1, 2020. Prior to January 1, 2020, the Company generally recognized the excess of cash flows expected at acquisition over the estimated fair value of the acquired loans as interest income over the remaining lives of such loans regardless of the borrowers’ repayment status. Effective with the adoption of the new accounting standard, the Company’s nonaccrual loan policy now applies to loans acquired at a discount. That change added $171 million to nonaccrual loans as of the January 1, 2020 adoption date.

The Company utilizes a loan grading system to differentiate risk amongst its commercial loans and commercial real estate loans. Loans with a lower expectation of default are assigned one of ten possible “pass” loan grades and are generally ascribed lower loss factors when determining the allowance for 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.

Loan officers in different geographic locations with the support of the Company’s credit department personnel ~~continuously~~ review and reassign loan grades based on their detailed knowledge of individual borrowers and their judgment of the impact on such borrowers resulting from changing conditions in their respective regions. Factors considered in assigning loan grades include borrower-specific information related to expected future cash flows and operating results, collateral values, geographic location, financial condition and performance, payment status, and other information. 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 credit 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.

The following table summarizes the loan grades applied at ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 to the various classes of the ~~Company’s~~Company’s commercial loans and commercial real estate loans by origination year.

Despite the allocation in the preceding tables, the allowance for credit losses is general in nature and is available to absorb losses from any loan or lease type. A description of the methodologies used by the Company to estimate its allowance for credit losses prior to January 1, 2020 is included in note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

In establishing the allowance for credit losses, ~~subsequent to December 31, 2019,~~ the Company estimates losses attributable to specific troubled credits identified through both normal and targeted credit review processes and also estimates losses for loans and leases with similar risk characteristics on a collective basis. The amounts of specific 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. Such loss estimates are typically based on expected future cash flows, collateral values and other factors that may impact the borrower’s ability to pay. To the extent that those loans are collateral-dependent, they are evaluated based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral as estimated at or near the financial statement date. As the quality of a loan deteriorates to the point of 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 values as determined by line of business and/or loan workout personnel. Those adjustments are reviewed and assessed for reasonableness by the Company’s credit department. Accordingly, for real estate collateral securing larger nonaccrual commercial loans 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.

For residential real estate loans, including home equity loans and lines of credit, the excess of the loan balance over the net realizable value of the property collateralizing the loan is charged-off when the loan becomes 150 days delinquent. That charge-off is based on recent indications of value from external parties that are generally obtained shortly after a loan becomes nonaccrual. 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. When evaluating individual home equity loans and lines of credit for charge off and for purposes of estimating losses in determining the allowance for credit losses, the Company gives consideration to the required repayment of any first lien positions related to collateral property. 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.

In determining the allowance for credit losses, accruing loans with similar risk characteristics are generally evaluated collectively. The Company utilizes statistically developed models to project principal balances over the remaining contractual lives of the loan portfolios and to determine estimated credit losses through a reasonable and supportable forecast period. Individual loan credit quality indicators including loan grade and borrower repayment performance inform the models, which have been statistically developed based on historical correlations of credit losses with prevailing economic metrics, including unemployment, gross domestic product and real estate prices. Model forecasts may be adjusted for inherent limitations or biases that have been identified through independent validation and back-testing of model performance to actual realized results. At both ~~January 1~~March 31, 2021 and ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2020, the Company utilized a reasonable and supportable forecast period of two years. Subsequent to this forecast period the Company reverted, ratably over a one-year period, to historical loss experience to inform its estimate of losses for the remaining contractual life of each portfolio. ~~The Company also considered~~Changes in the amount of the allowance for credit losses reflect the outcome of the procedures described herein, including the impact of changes in macroeconomic forecasts as compared with previous forecasts, as well as the impact of portfolio concentrations, changes in underwriting practices, product expansions into new markets, imprecision in ~~its~~ economic forecasts, geopolitical conditions and other risk factors that might influence ~~its~~the loss estimation process.

The Company’s reserve for off-balance sheet credit exposures was not material at ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

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.

The table that follows summarizes the Company’s loan modification activities that were considered troubled debt restructurings for the three-month ~~and six-month~~ periods ended ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and ~~2019:~~2020:

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. 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,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020 ~~and 2019~~ and for which there was a subsequent payment default during the ~~six-month~~three-month periods ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020, ~~and 2019,~~ respectively, were not material.

The amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the Company was ~~$59~~$24 million and ~~$76~~$28 million at ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, respectively. There were ~~$273~~$206 million and ~~$402~~$214 million at ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, respectively, of loans secured by residential real estate that were in the process of foreclosure. Of all loans in the process of foreclosure at ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, approximately ~~40%~~38% were government guaranteed.

M&T had ~~$527~~$529 million of fixed and variable rate junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures ("Junior Subordinated Debentures") outstanding at ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 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, the securities are includable in M&T’s 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 was an agreement~~On January 25, 2021, $350 million of variable rate senior notes of M&T Bank, the principal bank subsidiary of M&T, matured. In addition, on March 1, 2021, M&T Bank redeemed $500 million of subordinated notes that were due to ~~repurchase securities that totaled $100 million and $102 million at June 30, 2020 and~~mature on December 31, 2019, respectively. The outstanding agreement matured in July 2020. The agreement was subject to legally enforceable master netting arrangements, however, the Company did not offset any amounts related to the agreement in its consolidated financial statements. The Company posted collateral consisting primarily of government guaranteed mortgage-backed securities of $107 million and $108 million at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.1, 2021.

A significant amount of the Company’s revenues are derived from net interest income on financial assets and liabilities, mortgage banking revenues, trading account and foreign exchange gains, investment securities gains, loan and letter of credit fees, income from bank-owned life insurance, and certain other revenues that are generally excluded from the scope of accounting guidance for revenue from contracts with customers.

For noninterest income revenue streams, the Company recognizes the expected amount of consideration as revenue when the performance obligations related to the services under the terms of a contract are satisfied. The Company’s contracts generally do not contain terms that necessitate significant judgment to determine the amount of revenue to recognize.

The Company generally charges customer accounts or otherwise bills customers upon completion of its services. Typically the Company’s contracts with customers have a duration of one year or less and payment for services is received at least annually, but oftentimes more frequently as services are provided. At ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and

December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, the Company had ~~$60~~$61 million and ~~$62~~$67 million, respectively, of amounts receivable related to recognized revenue from the sources in the accompanying tables. Such amounts are classified in accrued interest and other assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. In certain situations the Company is paid in advance of providing services and defers the recognition of revenue until its service obligation is satisfied. At ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, the Company had deferred revenue of ~~$42~~$41 million and ~~$43~~$42 million, respectively, related to the sources in the accompanying tables recorded in accrued interest and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.

The following tables summarize sources of the Company’s noninterest income during the three-month ~~and six-month~~ periods ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020 ~~and 2019~~ that are subject to the noted accounting guidance.

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 ~~483,491~~462,342 and ~~115,293~~464,694 common shares during the three-month periods ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020, ~~and 2019, respectively, and 474,093 and 197,598 common shares during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019,~~ respectively, were not included in the computations of diluted earnings per common share because the effect on those periods would have been antidilutive.

As part of managing interest rate risk, the Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to modify the repricing characteristics of certain portions of the Company’s portfolios of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The Company designates interest rate swap agreements utilized in the management of interest rate risk as either fair value hedges or cash flow hedges. Interest rate swap agreements are generally entered into with counterparties that meet established credit standards and most contain master netting, collateral and/or settlement provisions protecting the at-risk party. Based on adherence to the Company’s credit standards and the presence of the netting, collateral or settlement provisions, the Company believes that the credit risk inherent in these contracts was not material as of ~~June 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021.

The net effect of interest rate swap agreements was to increase net interest income by ~~$81~~$91 million and ~~$117~~$36 million during the three-month ~~and six-month~~ periods ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020, ~~respectively, and to decrease net interest income by $11 million and $24 million during the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2019,~~ respectively.

Information about interest rate swap agreements entered into for interest rate risk management purposes summarized by type of financial instrument the swap agreements were intended to hedge follows:

The amount of ~~gain (loss)~~interest income recognized in the consolidated statement of income associated with derivatives designated as cash flow hedges was ~~not material.~~$82 million and $32 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of March 31, 2021 the unrealized gain recognized in other comprehensive income related to cash flow hedges was $281 million, of which $74 million, $165 million and $42 million related to interest rate swap agreements maturing in 2021, 2022, and 2023, respectively.

The Company also 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 ~~$57~~$55 million and ~~$18~~$64 million at ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, 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 or settlement requirements. Master netting agreements covering interest rate and foreign exchange contracts with the same party include a right to set-off that becomes enforceable in the event of default, early termination or under other specific conditions.

The aggregate fair value of derivative financial instruments in a liability position and the net liability positions with counterparties which are subject to ~~enforceable~~ master netting arrangements was ~~$143~~$50 million and ~~$51~~$114 million at ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, respectively. The Company was required to post collateral relating to those positions of ~~$139~~$50 million and ~~$50~~$103 million at ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, 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, 2020~~March 31, 2021 was not ~~significant.~~material.

The aggregate fair value of derivative financial instruments in an asset position and the net asset positions with counterparties which are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements was ~~$1 million and $6~~$4 million at ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and $3 million at December 31, ~~2019, respectively.~~2020. Counterparties posted collateral relating to those positions of ~~$81 thousand and $5~~$3 million at ~~June 30, 2020~~each ofMarch 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019, respectively.~~2020. 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 variation margin payments depending on the contracts being in a net asset or liability position. The amount of initial margin collateral posted by the Company was ~~$124~~$150 million and ~~$84~~$135 million at ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, respectively. The fair value asset and liability amounts of derivative contracts have been reduced by variation margin payments treated as settlements as described herein. Variation margin on derivative contracts not treated as settlements continues to represent collateral posted or received by the Company.

The Company’s securitization activity has consisted of securitizing loans originated for sale into government issued or guaranteed mortgage-backed securities. The ~~amounts of those securitizations during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 are presented in the Company’s consolidated statement of cash flows. The~~ Company has not recognized any losses as a result of having securitized assets.

As described in note 4,5, 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 each of ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, the Company included the junior subordinated debentures as “long-term borrowings” in its consolidated balance sheet and recognized $23 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 4.

The Company has invested as a limited partner in various partnerships that collectively had total assets of approximately ~~$2.0~~$2.3 billion at ~~June 30, 2020~~ each of March 31, 2021and ~~$1.5 billion at~~ December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. 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 carrying amount of its investments in such partnerships was ~~$745~~$853 million, including ~~$363~~$361 million of unfunded commitments, at ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and ~~$748~~$861 million, including ~~$414~~$406 million of unfunded commitments, at December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. Contingent commitments to provide additional capital contributions to these partnerships were not material at ~~June 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021. The Company has not provided financial or other support to the partnerships that was not contractually required. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss from its investments in such partnerships as of ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 was ~~$957 million,~~$1.1 billion, including possible recapture of certain tax credits. 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 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 in qualified affordable housing projects 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 ~~$22~~$19 million and ~~$43~~$21 million of its investments in qualified affordable housing projects to income tax expense during the three-month ~~and six-month~~ periods ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and recognized $26 million and $52 million of tax credits and other tax benefits during those periods. Similarly, for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2019, the Company amortized $17 million and $34 million, respectively, of its investments in qualified affordable housing projects to income tax expense and recognized $21 million and ~~$41~~$26 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.

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, 2020.~~March 31, 2021.

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.

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 consist primarily of interest rate contracts 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 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.

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.

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 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.

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.

The following tables present assets and liabilities at ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019~~2020 measured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis:

The changes in Level 3 assets and liabilities measured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis during the three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020 ~~and 2019~~ were as follows:

~~The changes in Level 3 assets and liabilities measured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were as follows:~~

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 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~~uncollectable 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 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 consideringspecific borrower facts and circumstances and the experience of credit personnel in their dealings with similar borrower collateral liquidations. Such discounts were in the range of 15% to 90% with a weighted-average of 54%

~~the range of 15% to 90% with a weighted-average of 56%~~ at ~~June 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021. 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, accordingly, the related nonrecurring 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 which at ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2020 was ~~49%~~45%. 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 ~~$248~~$658 million at ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 ($~~145~~357 million and ~~$103~~$301 million of which were classified as Level 2 and Level 3, respectively), ~~$305~~$652 million at December 31, ~~2019~~2020 ($~~115~~339 million and ~~$190~~$313 million of which were classified as Level 2 and Level 3, respectively) and ~~$212~~$196 million at ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 ($~~155~~116 million and ~~$57~~$80 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,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020 were decreases of ~~$50~~$66 million and $21 million for the three-month ~~and six-month~~ periods ended ~~June 30, 2020. Changes in fair value recognized for partial charge-offs of loans~~March 31, 2021 and ~~loan impairment reserves on loans held by the Company on June 30, 2019 were decreases of $20 million and $36 million for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2019,~~2020, respectively.

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, accordingly, 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 ~~$31~~$9 million and ~~$17~~$14 million at ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020, ~~and 2019,~~ 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, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and ~~2019.~~2020.

Capitalized servicing rights are initially measured at fair value in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The Company utilizes the amortization method to subsequently measure its capitalized servicing assets. In accordance with GAAP, the Company must record impairment charges, on a nonrecurring basis, when the carrying value of certain strata exceed their estimated fair value. To estimate the fair value of servicing rights, the Company considers market prices for similar assets, if available, and the present value of expected future cash flows associated with the servicing rights calculated using assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future servicing income and expense. Such assumptions include estimates of the cost of servicing loans, loan default rates, an appropriate discount rate, and prepayment speeds. For purposes of evaluating and measuring impairment of capitalized servicing rights, the Company stratifies such assets based on the predominant risk characteristics of the underlying financial instruments that are expected to have the most impact on projected prepayments, cost of servicing and other factors affecting future cash flows associated with the servicing rights. Such factors may include financial asset or loan type, note rate and term. The amount of impairment recognized is the amount by which the carrying value of the capitalized servicing rights for a stratum exceed estimated fair value. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance. The determination of fair value of capitalized servicing rights is considered a Level 3 valuation. Capitalized servicing rights related to residential mortgage loans of ~~$177~~$156 million and ~~$188~~$159 million at ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, respectively, required a valuation allowance of ~~$27~~$21 million and $7$30 million, respectively. Significant unobservable inputs used in this Level 3 valuation included weighted-average prepayment speeds of ~~18.03%~~15.22% and ~~18.50%~~16.01% at ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, respectively, and a weighted-average option-adjusted spread of 900 basis points at each date. ~~Changes in fair value~~There was a recovery of previously recognized ~~for~~ impairment ofcharges for capitalized servicing rights ~~were $10 million and $20 million during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2020, respetively. Changes in fair value recognized for impairment~~ of ~~capitalized servicing rights were~~ $9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and ~~six~~an impairment charge of $10 million during the three months ended ~~June 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2020.

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 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 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.

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.

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. In addition to the amounts in the preceding table, the Company had discretionary funding commitments to commercial customers of ~~$10.0~~$10.5 billion and ~~$9.1~~$10.4 billion at ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, respectively, that the Company had the unconditional right to cancel prior to funding. Standby and commercial letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Standby letters of credit generally are contingent upon the failure of the customer to perform according to the terms of the underlying contract with the third party, whereas commercial letters of credit are issued to facilitate commerce and typically result in the commitment being funded when the underlying transaction is consummated between the customer and a third party. The credit risk associated with commitments to extend credit and standby and commercial letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved with extending loans to customers and is subject to normal credit policies. Collateral may be obtained based on management's assessment of the customer's creditworthiness.

Financial guarantees and indemnification contracts are 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 recourse associated with loans sold under this program totaled approximately ~~$3.9~~$4.0 billion at each of ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

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 is contractually obligated to repurchase previously sold residential real estate loans that do not ultimately meet investor sale criteria related to underwriting procedures or loan documentation. When required to do so, the Company may reimburse loan purchasers for losses incurred or may repurchase certain loans. The Company reduces residential mortgage banking revenues by an estimate for losses related to its obligations to loan purchasers.

The amount of those charges is based on the volume of loans sold, the level of reimbursement requests received from loan purchasers and estimates of losses that may be associated with previously sold loans. At ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, the Company believes that its obligation to loan purchasers was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial position.

Wilmington Trust, N.A., a wholly owned subsidiary of M&T, provides retirement services, including serving in certain trustee roles relating to Employee Stock Ownership Plans (“ESOPs”). Beginning in 2010, the U.S. Department of Labor (“DOL”) announced that it would increase its focus on ESOP transactions, particularly with regard to valuation issues relating to ESOP transactions. Beginning in late 2013, Wilmington Trust, N.A. began receiving requests for information and subpoenas relating to certain ESOP transactions for which it acted as trustee. In June 2016, Wilmington Trust, N.A. received a DOL subpoena seeking information on its global ESOP trustee business. In addition to these investigations, the DOL commenced three lawsuits against Wilmington Trust, N.A. relating to its role as trustee of three ESOP transactions. In July 2019, Wilmington Trust, N.A. reached a settlement in principle with the DOL to resolve certain pending DOL ESOP matters. On April 28, 2020, Wilmington Trust N.A. and the DOL executed a formal settlement agreement. The total amount of the settlement was $88 million, which included $80 million in payments to 21 ESOPs. The settlement amount was within the Company’s reserve for litigation matters and substantially all was paid in the second quarter of 2020. Wilmington Trust, N.A. has also been named as a defendant in five private party lawsuits relating to its role as trustee for five ESOP transactions. Three of the five private party lawsuits relating to ESOP transactions have been resolved through settlements, two of which have been preliminarily approved by Courts, and are in the process of administration. The third settled ESOP private action was settled on an individual basis and, therefore, does not require Court approval. None of those three settlements are material. Under applicable transaction documents, Wilmington Trust, N.A. may be entitled to indemnification by the ESOP plan sponsors. These matters could result in damages, settlements, penalties, restitution, reputational damage or additional costs and expenses.

M&T and its subsidiaries are subject in the normal course of business to various ~~other~~ pending and threatened legal proceedings and 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 pending or threatened litigation could result in exposure in excess of the recorded 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 estimated to be between $0 and $25 million as of ~~June 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021. Although the Company does not believe that the outcome of pending legal matters 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.

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 ~~2019~~2020 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, the financial information of the reported segments is 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.

The servicing rights for such loans were retained by Bayview Financial, ~~which had an outstanding balance of $199 million at June 30, 2020.~~ but the Company continues to sub-service the loans.

The following table provides a description of accounting standards that were adopted by the Company in ~~2020~~2021 as well as standards that are not effective that could have an impact to M&T’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

Net income for M&T Bank Corporation (“M&T”) ~~recorded net income~~ in the ~~second~~first quarter of 2021 was $447 million, compared with $269 million in the corresponding quarter of 2020 and $471 million in the fourth quarter of ~~$241 million or $1.74 of diluted~~2020. Diluted and basic earnings per common share ~~compared with $473~~were $3.33 in the recent quarter, $1.93 in the first quarter of 2020 and $3.52 in the fourth quarter of 2020. The after-tax impact of merger-related expenses was $8 million ($10 million pre-tax), or ~~$3.34~~$.06 of basic and diluted earnings per common share in the ~~year-earlier~~recent quarter. ~~Net income and diluted earnings per common share during the first quarter~~Such expenses were associated with M&T’s pending acquisition of ~~2020~~People’s United Financial, Inc. (“People’s United”), headquartered in Bridgeport, Connecticut. There were $269 million and $1.93, respectively. Basic earnings per common share were $1.74 in the recent quarter, compared with $3.34 in the year earlier quarter and $1.93 in the initial quarter of 2020. Net income totaled $510 million or $3.67 of diluted and basic earnings per common shareno merger-related expenses in the first ~~half~~or fourth quarters of ~~2020, compared with $956 million or $6.69 of diluted and basic earnings per common share in the corresponding period of 2019.~~2020.

The annualized rate of return on average total assets for M&T and its consolidated subsidiaries (“the Company”) in ~~the second~~2021’s first quarter ~~of 2020~~ was ~~.71%~~1.22%, compared with ~~1.60%~~.90% in the year-earlier quarter and ~~.90%~~1.30% in the ~~first~~fourth quarter of 2020. The annualized rate of return on average common shareholders’ equity was ~~6.13%~~11.57% in the recent quarter, ~~compared with 12.68%~~7.00% in the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2019~~2020 and 7.00% in 2020’s initial quarter. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, the annualized rates of return on average assets and average common shareholders’ equity were .80% and 6.56%, respectively, compared with 1.64% and 12.91%, respectively,12.07% in the ~~similar period~~fourth 2020 quarter.

On February 22, 2021, M&T announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement with People’s United under which People’s United will be acquired by M&T in an all-stock transaction. Pursuant to the terms of ~~2019.~~

~~Effective January 1, 2020,~~the agreement, People’s United shareholders will receive consideration valued at .118 of an M&T ~~adopted amended accounting guidance for~~share in the ~~measurement~~form of ~~credit losses~~M&T common stock. People’s United outstanding preferred stock will be converted to a new series of M&T preferred stock upon completion of the acquisition. The transaction is valued at approximately $7.7 billion (with the price based on ~~financial instruments. That guidance requires an allowance for credit losses~~M&T’s closing price of $151.61 per share as of March 31, 2021).

As of March 31, 2021, People’s United reported $64.2 billion of assets, including $42.8 billion of loans and $10.4 billion of investment securities, $56.6 billion of liabilities, including $53.5 billion of deposits, and $7.6 billion of stockholders’ equity. The merger is subject to ~~be deducted from the amortized cost basis~~a number of ~~financial assets to present the net carrying value that~~conditions, including regulatory approvals and approval by common shareholders of M&T and People’s United, and is expected to be ~~collected over~~completed during the ~~contractual term~~fourth quarter of the assets considering relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectibility of the reported amount. The new accounting guidance replaces the previous incurred loss model for determining the allowance for credit losses. The adoption of the amended guidance resulted in a $132 million increase in the allowance for credit losses as of January 1, 2020.~~Additional information on the new accounting guidance is provided under the heading “Provision for Credit Losses” and in note 3 of Notes to Financial Statements.~~2021.

Financial results ~~for~~since the ~~second~~first quarter of 2020 were adversely impacted by the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) pandemic. Large portions of the U.S. economy were substantially curtailed for extended periods of time and, as a result, many commercial and consumer customers were adversely impacted. Specifically, those adverse economic impacts resulted in the Company recognizing elevated levels of provisions for credit losses during 2020 that reflected projections of credit losses based on macroeconomic forecasts at the end of each quarter of that year. The Company recorded provisions for credit losses of $250 million in the first 2020 quarter and $75 million in the fourth quarter of 2020.An improvement in economic ~~outlook~~conditions and forecasts at ~~June 30 deteriorated~~March 31, 2021 as compared with ~~what had been assumed by~~previous forecasts led the Company asto recognize a provision recapture of ~~the end of~~$25 million in the first quarter of ~~2020, with considerable uncertainty existing about~~2021. In response to the ~~length and extent~~pandemic, the Federal Reserve took actions to lower interest rates that have negatively affected the Company’s net interest income since the beginning of the ~~pandemic’s impact on the nation’s economy. Due to higher expected credit losses that reflect the worsening outlook, the provision for credit losses~~pandemic. Taxable-equivalent net interest income totaled $985 million in the recent quarter ~~rose to $325~~and $982 million ~~from $250~~and $993 million in the ~~initial~~first and fourth quarters of 2020, quarter and $55 million in the second quarter of 2019. The 2020 periods reflect the adoption of the new accounting guidance for the measurement of expected credit losses on financial instruments. Spurred by the COVID-19 pandemic, the low interest rate environment has resulted in decreased taxable-equivalent net interest income in the recent quarter, while waivers and reduced customer transaction activity led to lower fees earned on deposit accounts.respectively.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law. ~~Among other things, the~~The CARES Act ~~provides~~and applicable extensions provide relief to borrowers, including the opportunity to defer loan payments while not negatively affecting their credit standing, and also ~~provides~~provide funding opportunities for small businesses under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) from approved Small Business Administration (“SBA”) lenders, including M&T ~~Bank.~~Bank, the principal bank subsidiary of M&T. For commercial and consumer customers, the Company has provided a host of relief options, including ~~loan maturity extensions,~~ payment deferrals ~~fee~~(including maturity extensions), loan covenant waivers and low interest rate loan products. ~~During the second quarter of 2020,~~ M&T Bank funded approximately $7.0 billion of PPP loans ~~that~~during 2020 and another $2.5 billion during the first quarter of 2021. PPP loans outstanding at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 totaled ~~$6.5~~$6.2 billion ~~at June 30, 2020.~~and $5.4 billion, respectively.

Updated economic forecasts at ~~June 30, 2020 and at March 31,~~the end of each of the quarters of 2020 resulted in higher estimates of expected credit losses in the Company’s loan portfolio than at January 1, 2020, when the Company adopted amended

accounting guidance for the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments, resulting in ~~significant increases in~~historically high levels of the provision for credit ~~losses~~losses. Specifically, the level of the provision in 2020 reflected the ongoing impacts of the pandemic on economic activity in the ~~first two quarters~~hospitality and retail sectors, the uncertainty at December 31, 2020 as to the sufficiency and effectiveness of ~~2020. The~~economic stimulus provided by the U.S. government to the economy, and concerns about ultimate collectability of real estate loans where borrowers requested re-payment forbearance. Improvement in the economic outlook at March 31, 2021 resulted in reduced estimates of expected credit losses. However, the Company expects that it will continue to be negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic after June 30, 2020 and believes that the pandemic could have a material impact on its future financial results. Specifically, the Company expects the following balance sheet and income statement categories to be affected:

The national effort to mitigate the pandemic has resulted in a challenging environment for businesses and their employees. The Company has taken actions designed to help provide a safe environment for its customers and employees and to provide relief to customers in a variety of ways. Examples of those actions include:

In July 2019, M&T agreed to sell its non-controlling interest in an asset manager obtained in the 2011 acquisition of Wilmington Trust Corporation that had been accounted for using the equity method of accounting and, as a result, as of June 30, 2019 recorded a $48 million charge (reflected in “other costs of operations”) to reduce the carrying value of the investment to its net realizable value. Similar to other active investment managers, the investee entity had experienced a decrease in assets under management and during the second quarter of 2019 the entity’s chief executive and investment officer announced his retirement. Following that announcement, successor management submitted a proposal to M&T to restructure the organization of the entity. The after-tax impact of the charge was a reduction in net income of $36 million, or $.27 of diluted earnings per common share in the second quarter of 2019. The sale of M&T’s interest in the asset manager was effective September 30, 2019.

During the first quarter of 2019, the Company increased its reserve for legal matters by $50 million in conjunction with matters associated with a subsidiary’s role as trustee of Employee Stock Ownership Plans in its Institutional Client Services business. That increase, on an after-tax basis, reduced net income in that quarter by $37 million, or $.27 of diluted earnings per common share. Also during that quarter, M&T realized $37 million of distributed income from Bayview Lending Group LLC (“BLG”), increasing net income by $28 million, or $.20 of diluted earnings per common share. A similar distribution of $23 million was received in the first quarter of 2020, increasing net income by $17 million, or $.13 of diluted earnings per common share.

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 gains (when realized) and expenses (when incurred) associated with merging acquired operations ~~(when incurred)~~ into the Company, since such items are considered by management to be “nonoperating” in nature. 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 totaled ~~$244~~$457 million in the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2020,~~2021, compared with ~~$477 million in the year-earlier quarter and~~ $272 million in the ~~initial 2020~~year-earlier quarter. Diluted net operating earnings per common share ~~the recent quarter were $1.76, compared with $3.37 in the second quarter of 2019 and $1.95~~ in the first ~~quarter~~quarters of ~~2020. For the first six months of~~2021 and 2020 ~~net~~were $3.41 and $1.95, respectively. Net operating income and diluted net operating earnings per common share were ~~$516~~$473 million and ~~$3.71, respectively, compared with $963 million and $6.74,~~$3.54, respectively, in the ~~first half~~fourth quarter of ~~2019.~~2020.

Net operating income in the recent quarter expressed as an annualized rate of return on average tangible assets was ~~.74%~~1.29%, compared with ~~1.68% in the similar quarter of 2019 and~~ .94% in the ~~initial~~first quarter of 2020 and 1.35% in the 2020’s fourth quarter. Net operating income represented an annualized return on average tangible common equity of ~~9.04%~~17.05% in the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2020, compared with 18.83% and~~2021, 10.39% for the quarters ended June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2020, respectively. For the first half of 2020, net operating income represented an annualized return on average tanglibe assets and average tanglible common shareholders’ equity of .84% and 9.71%, respectively, compared with 1.72% and 19.19%, respectively, in the ~~corresponding 2019 period.~~ year-earlier quarter and 17.53% in the fourth quarter of 2020.

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

Taxable-equivalent net interest income was ~~$961~~$985 million in the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2020,~~2021, compared with ~~$1.05 billion~~$982 million in the ~~year-earlier quarter.~~first quarter of 2020. That ~~decline~~modest increase resulted ~~predominantly~~ from the impact of a 78$26.1 billion or 24% increase in average earning assets that was substantially offset by a 68 basis point (hundredths of one percent) narrowing of the net interest margin, or taxable-equivalent net interest income expressed as an annualized percentage of average earning assets, to ~~3.13%~~2.97% in the recent quarter from ~~3.91%~~3.65% in the ~~second quarter~~year-earlier quarter. The higher average earning assets

reflected growth in deposits at the Federal Reserve Bank of ~~2019.~~New York and loans, partially offset by a decline in average investment securities balances. The narrowing of the net interest margin was largely the result of declines in rates earned on loans and deposits at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, reflecting the lower interest rate environment due to actions initiated by the Federal Reserve to decrease its target Federal funds rate ~~three times in the second half of 2019 (each by a .25% increment) and~~ twice in March of 2020 (first by .50%, than another by 1.0%). ~~The impact of the recent quarter’s lower net interest margin on net interest income was partially offset by an increase in average earning assets of $16.0 billion from the year-earlier quarter.~~

Taxable-equivalent net interest income in the recent quarter declined ~~$20~~$8 million ~~or 2%,~~ from the fourth quarter of 2020 reflecting the fewer number of days in the first quarter of ~~2020 primarily driven by a 52~~2021. A three basis point narrowing of the net interest margin in the recent quarter from ~~3.65%~~3.00% in the prior quarter ~~partially offset by a $15.3 billion rise~~largely attributable to higher balances held in average earning assets. The increase in average earning assets in the recent quarter as compared with the second quarter of 2019 and the initial quarter of 2020 resulted from higher average balances of loans and leases and interest-bearing depositslow yielding accounts at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York ~~partially offset by lower average investment securities balances.~~

~~For the first six months of 2020, taxable-equivalent net interest income~~ was $1.94 billion, down 8% from $2.10 billion in the corresponding 2019 period. That decrease was primarily attributable to a 60 basis point narrowing of the margin to 3.37% in the 2020 period from 3.97% in the year-earlier period, partiallypredominantly offset by a ~~$9.1~~$2.4 billion ~~increase~~or 2% rise in average earning assets.

Average loans and leases totaled ~~$97.8~~$99.4 billion in the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2020,~~2021, up ~~$8.6~~$7.7 billion or ~~10%~~8% from ~~$89.2~~$91.7 billion in the similar quarter of ~~2019.~~2020. Commercial loans and leases averaged ~~$29.7~~$27.7 billion in the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2020, $6.4~~2021, $3.4 billion or ~~27%~~14% higher than in the year-earlier quarter. That increase was ~~predominantly~~ the result of average outstanding PPP loans of ~~$4.8~~$5.7 billion in the recent quarter that were predominantly funded in the ~~recent quarter.~~second quarter of 2020 and in the first quarter of 2021. Average commercial real estate loans were ~~$36.9~~$37.6 billion in the recent quarter, up ~~$2.2~~$1.6 billion, or 6%4%, from ~~$34.8~~$36.0 billion in the ~~similar 2019~~corresponding 2020 quarter. Included in average commercial real estate loans in the ~~second~~first quarters of ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019~~2020 were loans held for sale of ~~$287~~$258 million and ~~$245~~$185 million, respectively. Reflecting ~~ongoing repayments~~purchases of government-guaranteed loans ~~obtained in a 2015 acquisition,~~from Ginnie Mae pools that were serviced by the Company, average residential real estate loans ~~declined $1.1~~rose $1.5 billion or 7%9% to ~~$15.6~~$17.4 billion in the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2020~~2021 from ~~$16.7~~$15.9 billion in the year-earlier quarter. ~~Included~~The loans purchased from Ginnie Mae pools averaged $3.8 billion in the recent quarter, compared with $800 million in the year-earlier quarter. Loans are purchased to reduce associated servicing costs, namely a requirement to advance principal and interest payments that had not been received from individual mortgagors, including payments deferred under COVID-19 forbearance arrangements. Loans purchased from Ginnie Mae pools totaled $1.3 billion in the recent quarter and $2.5 billion in the last three quarters of 2020. Also included in average residential real estate loans were loans held for sale of ~~$406~~$663 million in the recent quarter and ~~$227~~$409 million in the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2019.~~2020. Consumer loans averaged ~~$15.5~~$16.6 billion in the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2020,~~2021, up $1.2 billion, or 8%, from ~~$14.3~~$15.5 billion in the year-earlier quarter, due to growth in average recreational finance loans (consisting predominantly of loans secured by recreational vehicles and boats) and, to a lesser extent, automobile loans that was partially offset by declines in outstanding balances of home equity loans and lines of credit.

Average loan and lease balances in the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2020~~2021 increased ~~$6.1 billion, or 7%,~~$690 million from ~~$91.7~~$98.7 billion in the ~~first~~fourth quarter of 2020.

For the first six months of 2020, average loans and leases totaled $94.8 billion, up 7%, from $88.8 billion in the corresponding 2019 period. Contributing to the rise were a $3.8 billion increase in average commercial loan and lease balances (due largely to PPP loans), a $1.8 billion increase in average commercial real eastate loans and a $1.3 billion increase in average consumer loan balances, partially offset by a $1.1 billion decline in average residential real estate loan balances.

The investment securities portfolio averaged ~~$8.5~~$6.6 billion in the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2020,~~2021, down ~~$3.7~~$2.5 billion, or ~~30%~~27%, from ~~$12.2~~$9.1 billion in the year-earlier quarter and ~~$602~~$590 million lower than the ~~$9.1~~$7.2 billion averaged in the ~~first~~fourth quarter of 2020. ~~For the first six months of 2020 and 2019, investment securities averaged $8.8 billion and $12.6 billion, respectively.~~The lower average ~~balances~~balance in the recent ~~periods reflect maturities~~quarter as compared with the first and fourth quarters of ~~U.S. Treasury notes and~~2020 predominantly reflects pay downs of mortgage-backed securities.

During the first quarter of 2019, the Company purchased $500 million of U.S. Treasury notes. There were no other significant purchases of investment securities during the first six months of~~three-month periods ended March 31, 2021, March 31, 2020 or ~~2019.~~December 31, 2020. The Company routinely has increases and decreases in its holdings of capital stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of New York and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Those holdings are accounted for at cost and are adjusted based on amounts of outstanding borrowings and available lines of credit with those entities.

The investment securities portfolio is ~~predominantly~~largely comprised of residential mortgage-backed securities ~~short term~~and shorter-term U.S. Treasury and federal agency ~~notes, and certain other debt and marketable equity securities. Investment securities also include capital stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.~~notes. When purchasing investment securities, the Company considers its liquidity position and its overall interest-rate risk profile as well as the adequacy of expected returns relative to risks assumed, including prepayments. The Company may occasionally sell 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 amounts of investment securities held by the Company are influenced by such factors ~~such~~ as available yield in comparison with alternative investments, demand for loans, which generally yield more than investment securities, ~~and other earning assets,~~ ongoing repayments, the levels of deposits, and management of liquidity and balance sheet size and resulting capital ratios.

Fair value changes in equity securities with readily determinable fair values are recognized in the consolidated statement of income. Net unrealized ~~gains~~losses on such equity securities were $7$12 million and $21 million in the ~~recent quarter,~~first quarters of 2021 and 2020, respectively, compared with net unrealized gains of $9$2 million in the ~~second~~final quarter of ~~2019 and net unrealized losses of $21 million in the initial 2020 quarter. Net unrealized losses on equity securities were $14~~ ~~million during the first~~ ~~six months of 2020, compared with net unrealized gains of $21 million in the prior year period~~.2020. Those gains and losses were predominantly related to the Company’s holdings of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac preferred stock.

The Company regularly reviews its debt investment securities for declines in value below amortized cost that might be indicative of credit-related losses. In light of such reviews, there were no credit-related losses on debt investment securities recognized in either of the ~~six-month periods ended June 30,~~first quarters of 2021 or 2020 or ~~2019.~~in the final 2020 quarter. Based on management’s assessment of future cash flows associated with individual investment securities as of ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, the Company did not expect to incur any material credit-related losses in its portfolios of debt investment securities. Additional information about the investment securities portfolio is included in notes 23 and 1112 of Notes to Financial Statements.

Other earning assets include interest-bearing deposits at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and other banks, trading account assets, federal funds sold and agreements to resell securities. Those other earning assets in the aggregate averaged ~~$17.2~~$28.4 billion in the ~~second~~recently completed quarter, ~~of 2020,~~ compared with ~~$6.2 billion in the~~ ~~year-earlier quarter and~~ $7.4 billion in the first quarter of 2020 and $26.1 billion in the final quarter of 2020. Interest-bearing deposits at banks averaged $~~16.5~~$27.7 billion, ~~for~~$6.1 billion and $22.2 billion during the three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2021, March 31, 2020 and $~~6.1 billion for each of the three-month periods ended~~ ~~June 30, 2019 and~~ ~~March~~December 31, ~~2020.~~2020, respectively. The amounts of interest-bearing deposits at banks at the respective dates were predominantly comprised of deposits held at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The levels of those deposits often fluctuate due to changes in trust-related deposits ~~and other deposits~~ of commercial entities, purchases or maturities of investment securities, or borrowings to manage the Company’s liquidity. The higher ~~amount at June 30, 2020 as~~balances in the two most recent quarters compared with the ~~earlier dates noted reflects the impact of~~year-earlier period reflect increased commercial and consumer deposit balances. Agreements to resell securities averaged $678 million, $1.2 billion and $3.8 billion for the quarters ended March 31, 2021, March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

As a result of the changes described herein, average earning assets totaled ~~$123.5~~$134.4 billion in the most recent quarter, compared with ~~$107.5~~$108.2 billion and $131.9 billion in the ~~second quarter of 2019~~first and ~~$108.2 billion in the initial 2020 quarter. Average earning assets totaled $115.9 billion and $106.8 billion during the first six months~~fourth quarters of 2020, ~~and 2019~~, 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 ~~$106.1 billion in the second quarter of 2020, compared with $86.2 billion in the similar 2019 quarter and $90.9~~$120.2 billion in the first quarter of ~~2020.~~2021, up 32% from $90.9 billion in the similar 2020 quarter. The increase in average core deposits in the recent quarter as compared with the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2019 and 2020’s initial quarter~~2020 reflected higher balances of noninterest-bearing deposits and savings and interest-checking deposits. Average balances of savings and interest-checking core deposits rose ~~$8.2~~$12.4 billion or ~~16%~~23% to ~~$59.0~~$66.0 billion in the ~~second 2020~~first 2021 quarter from ~~$50.8~~$53.6 billion in the year-earlier quarter. Average noninterest-bearing deposits increased ~~$12.4~~$18.4 billion or ~~41%~~57% to ~~$42.5~~$50.9 billion in the recent quarter from ~~$30.1~~$32.5 billion in the ~~second 2019~~first 2020 quarter. Those increases were largely due to higher average deposits of commercial customers, but also reflect higher levels of consumer deposits and deposits associated with residential mortgage servicing activities. In late March 2020, commercial customers drew down available lines of credit for liquidity purposes. A large portion of those funds were placed in customer deposit accounts at M&T Bank. By the end of the second quarter, a significant portion of those line advances had been repaid by customers. Average core deposits were ~~$90.9~~$115.2 billion in the ~~first~~fourth quarter of 2020. Average savings and interest-checking core deposits increased ~~$5.3~~$1.4 billion or ~~10%~~2% in the ~~second 2020~~first 2021 quarter from ~~$53.6~~$64.7 billion in the immediately preceding quarter. Average noninterest-bearing deposits in the recent quarter were ~~$10.0~~$4.0 billion or ~~31% above~~8% higher than the ~~first~~fourth quarter 2020 average of ~~$32.5~~$46.9 billion, ~~predominantly due to~~reflecting higher ~~deposits~~levels of liquidity being maintained by many commercial and consumer customers. The following table provides an analysis of quarterly changes in the components of average core deposits.

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 deposits, averaged ~~$733~~$477 million in the recent quarter, compared with ~~$1.2 billion in the second quarter of 2019 and~~ $872 million in the ~~initial~~first quarter of 2020 and $521 million in the fourth 2020 quarter. The decreases in such deposits since the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2019~~2020 were predominantly the result of maturities of higher-rate time deposits. Cayman Islands office deposits averaged ~~$1.0 billion, $1.2 billion and~~$683 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, compared with $1.7 billion for the ~~quarters~~quarter ended ~~June 30, 2020, June 30, 2019 and~~ March 31, 2020 ~~respectively.~~and $826 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2020.

the two most recent ~~quarter~~quarters as compared with ~~the second quarter of 2019 and~~ the first quarter of 2020 ~~reflected~~reflect customer reaction to the declines in short-term interest rates that followed actions by the Federal Reserve in March 2020. The Company had brokered savings and interest-bearing transaction accounts, which in the aggregate averaged ~~$4.0~~$4.4 billion during each of the recent quarter and the fourth quarter of 2020, compared with $2.7 billion in ~~each of the second quarter of 2019 and~~ the first quarter of 2020. ~~The amounts of Cayman Islands office deposits or brokered deposits is largely dependent on demand by customers and other investors for those types of deposit products.~~

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 one year or less. Average short-term borrowings totaled ~~$63~~$62 million in the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2020,~~2021, compared with ~~$1.3 billion~~$58 million in the year-earlier quarter and ~~$58~~$64 million in the ~~initial 2020 quarter. In general, the higher short-term borrowings in the prior year period were entered into for liquidity management purposes.~~fourth quarter of 2020.

Long-term borrowings averaged $3.9 billion in the recent quarter, compared $6.2 billion in the ~~two most recent quarters~~first quarter of 2020 and ~~$8.3~~$5.3 billion in the ~~second~~fourth quarter of ~~2019.~~2020. Average balances of outstanding senior notes were ~~$4.1~~$2.5 billion, ~~$5.5~~$4.2 billion and ~~$4.2~~$3.4 billion during the three months ended ~~June 30, 2020, June 30, 2019 and~~March 31, 2021, March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2020, respectively. ~~On January 7,~~In July 2020, M&T Bank ~~the principal bank subsidiary~~redeemed $750 million of ~~M&T,~~fixed rate senior notes and in December 2020, redeemed ~~$750~~$650 million of fixed rate senior notes that were due to mature on ~~February 6, 2020.~~January 25, 2021. In addition, ~~M&T Bank redeemed $750~~in January 2021, $350 million of ~~fixed~~variable rate senior notes ~~in July 2020 that were due to mature on August 17, 2020.~~matured. Subordinated capital notes included in long-term borrowings averaged $828 million in the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 and $1.4 billion in each of the three-month periods ended ~~June 30, 2020, June 30, 2019 and~~ March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2020. On March 1, 2021, M&T Bank redeemed $500 million of subordinated capital notes that were due to mature on December 1, 2021, and during December 2020, $409 million of subordinated capital notes matured. Junior subordinated debentures associated with trust preferred securities that were included in average long-term borrowings were ~~$526~~$529 million, ~~$523~~$525 million and ~~$525~~$528 million during the ~~second~~first quarters of 2021 and 2020 and ~~2019 and~~ the ~~initial~~final 2020 quarter, respectively.

The Company has utilized interest rate swap agreements to ~~repurchase securities, which averaged $101 million~~modify the repricing characteristics of certain components of its loans and long-term debt. As of March 31, 2021, interest rate swap agreements were used as fair

value hedges of approximately $1.65 billion of outstanding fixed rate long-term borrowings. Additionally, interest rate swap agreements with a notional amount of $17.35 billion were used as cash flow hedges of interest payments associated with variable rate commercial real estate loans. Further information on interest rate swap agreements is provided herein and in ~~each~~note 10 of ~~the first two quarters of 2020 and $373 million in the second quarter of 2019. The repurchase agreement held at June 30, 2020 totaled $100 million and matured in July 2020.~~Notes to Financial Statements.

~~Net interest income can be impacted by changes~~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.~~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 ~~2.98%~~2.90% in the recent quarter, compared with ~~3.53%~~3.35% in the ~~second quarter of 2019.~~initial 2020 quarter. The yield on earning assets during the ~~second quarter~~first three months of ~~2020~~2021 was ~~3.38%~~3.08%, down ~~126~~110 basis points from ~~4.64%~~4.18% in the ~~year-earlier~~similar 2020 period, while the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities declined 7165 basis points to ~~.40%~~.18% in the recent quarter from ~~1.11%~~.83% in the year-earlier

period. In the ~~first~~fourth quarter of 2020, the net interest spread was ~~3.35%~~also 2.90%, the yield on earning assets was ~~4.18%~~3.15% and the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was ~~.83%~~.25%.The narrowing of the net interest spread in the two most recent ~~quarter~~quarters as compared with ~~the corresponding 2019 period and~~ the initial quarter of 2020 period reflects ~~the impact of~~ the decreases in short-term interest rates initiated by the Federal Reserve during ~~the second half of 2019 and in~~ March 2020. For the first six months of 2020, the net interest spread was 3.15%, down 45 basis points from 3.60% in the year-earlier period. The yield on earning assets and the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities for the first half of 2020 were 3.75% and .60%, respectively, compared with 4.68% and 1.08% respectively, in the initial six months of 2019.

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 ~~$47.9~~$55.6 billion in the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2020,~~2021, compared with ~~$36.7~~$38.2 billion in the year-earlier quarter and ~~$38.2~~$52.5 billion in the ~~initial~~fourth 2020 quarter. The increase in average net interest-free funds in the two most recent ~~quarter~~quarters as compared with the ~~prior periods~~initial 2020 quarter reflects higher average balances of noninterest-bearing deposits. Those deposits averaged $42.5 billion, $30.1 billion and $32.5 billion in the quarters ended June 30, 2020, June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2020, respectively. The rise in such balances in the recent quarter as compared with the earlier periods was largely due to increased levels of deposits of commercial customers. During the first six months of 2020 and 2019, average net interest-free funds aggregated $43.1 billion and $36.9 billion, respectively. Shareholders’ equity averaged ~~$16.0~~$16.3 billion during the three-month period ended ~~June 30, 2020, $15.6~~March 31, 2021, $15.7 billion during the year-earlier period and ~~$15.7~~$16.2 billion during the ~~initial 2020 quarter.~~three-month period ended December 31, 2020. Goodwill and core deposit and other intangible assets averaged $4.6 billion in each of the ~~two most recent~~ quarters ~~and in the quarter ended June 30, 2019.~~noted herein. The cash surrender value of bank owned life insurance averaged $1.9 billion in the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 and $1.8 billion in each of the three-month periods ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2020 ~~June 30, 2019~~ and ~~March~~December 31, 2020. 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 ~~.15%~~.07% in the ~~second~~first quarter of 2021, compared with .30% and .10% in the first quarter of 2020 ~~compared with .38% and .30% in the second quarter of 2019~~ and the ~~first~~fourth quarter of 2020, respectively. The reduced contribution of net interest-free funds to net interest margin in the two most recent quarters as compared with the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2019~~2020 reflects the lower rates on interest-bearing liabilities used to value net interest-free funds. ~~The contribution of net interest-free funds in the first half of 2020 and 2019 was .22% and .37%, 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 margin was ~~3.13%~~2.97% in the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2020,~~2021, compared with ~~3.91%~~3.65% in the year-earlier period and ~~3.65%~~3.00% in the ~~initial~~fourth quarter of 2020. ~~During the first six months of 2020 and 2019, the net interest margin was 3.37% and 3.97%, 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 earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Periodic settlement amounts arising from these agreements are reflected in either the yields on earning assets or the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The notional amount of interest rate swap agreements entered into for interest rate risk management purposes was ~~$16.4~~$19.0 billion (excluding ~~$40.9~~$18.7 billion of forward-starting swap agreements) at ~~June 30, 2020, $17.8~~March 31, 2021, $16.4 billion (excluding ~~$21.4~~$41.8 billion of forward-starting swap agreements) at ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and ~~$17.2~~$19.0 billion (excluding ~~$40.4~~$32.1 billion of forward-starting swap agreements) at December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. 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. ~~Interest~~At each of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, interest rate swap agreements with notional amounts of ~~$13.35~~$17.35 billion ~~that were in effect at each of June 30, 2020, June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2019~~ were serving as cash flow hedges of interest payments associated with variable rate commercial real estate ~~loans. At June 30, 2020, June 30, 2019 and December~~loans, compared with $13.35 billion at March 31, ~~2019, interest~~2020. Interest rate swap agreements with notional amounts of $1.65 billion at each of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and $3.05 billion ~~$4.45 billion and $3.80 billion, respectively,~~at March 31, 2020 were serving as fair value hedges of fixed rate ~~long-term~~long-

term borrowings. The Company has entered into forward-starting interest rate swap agreements predominantly to extend the term of its interest rate swap agreements serving as cash flow hedges, and provide a hedge against changing interest rates on certain of its variable rate loans.

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 as an adjustment to the interest income or interest expense of the respective hedged item. In a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the derivative’s gain or loss is initially reported as a component of other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into earnings when the forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the derivative’s gain or loss on cash flow hedges is accounted for similar to that associated with fair value hedges. The amounts of hedge ineffectiveness recognized during each of the quarters ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2021, March 31, 2020 ~~June 30, 2019~~ and ~~March~~December 31, 2020 were not material to the Company’s consolidated results of operations. Information regarding the fair value of interest rate swap agreements and hedge ineffectiveness is presented in note 10 of Notes to Financial Statements. Information regarding the effective portion of cash flow hedges is presented in note 9 of Notes to Financial Statements. 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 weighted-average rates to be received and paid under interest rate swap agreements currently in effect were ~~2.56%~~1.89% and ~~.28%~~.17%, respectively, at ~~June 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021. 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 910 of Notes to Financial Statements.

In addition to interest rate swap agreements, the Company had entered into interest rate floor agreements that were accounted for in the trading account rather than as hedging instruments but, nevertheless, provided the Company with protection against the possibility of future declines in interest rates on earning assets. At each of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2019, outstanding notional amounts of such agreements totaled $15.6 billion. The interest rate floor agreements matured during the first quarter of 2020.

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. ~~Core deposits represent the~~

The most significant source of funding for the Company ~~and~~is core deposits, which are generated from a large base of consumer, corporate and institutional customers. That customer base has, over the past several years, become more geographically diverse as a result of expansion of the Company’s businesses. Nevertheless, the Company faces competition in offering products and services from a large array of financial market participants, including banks, thrifts, mutual funds, securities dealers and others. The Company supplements funding provided through deposits

with various short-term and long-term wholesale borrowings, including overnight federal funds purchased, short-term advances from the FHLB of New York, brokered deposits, ~~Cayman Islands office deposits~~ and longer-term ~~borrowings~~.borrowings. M&T Bank has access to additional funding sources through borrowings from the FHLB of New York, lines of credit with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, M&T Bank’s Bank Note Program, and other available borrowing facilities. The Bank Note Program enables M&T Bank to offer unsecured senior and subordinated notes. The Company has, from time to time, also issued subordinated capital notes and junior subordinated debentures associated with trust preferred securities to provide liquidity and enhance regulatory capital ratios. The Company’s junior subordinated debentures associated with trust preferred securities and other subordinated capital notes are considered Tier 2 capital and are includable in total regulatory capital. At ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, long-term borrowings aggregated ~~$6.3~~$3.5 billion and ~~$7.0~~$4.4 billion, respectively.

Short-term federal funds borrowings outstanding were $3.2 billion at June 30, 2019. There were no such borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019. In general, those borrowings were unsecured, matured on the next business day and were entered into for liquidity management purposes. While predominantly used to satisfy customer demand, Cayman Islands office deposits ~~may also be~~have been used by some customers of the Company as an alternative to ~~short-term borrowings.~~other deposit and investment products. Cayman Islands office deposits totaled ~~$868~~$642 million at ~~June 30, 2020, $1.4~~March 31, 2021, $1.2 billion at ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and ~~$1.7 billion~~$652 million at December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. The Company has also benefited from the placement of brokered deposits. The Company had brokered savings and interest-bearing checking deposit accounts which aggregated approximately ~~$4.0~~$4.4 billion at ~~June 30, 2020, $2.7~~March 31, 2021, $3.1 billion at ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and ~~$2.8~~$4.5 billion at December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. Brokered time deposits were not a significant source of funding as of those dates.

The Company’s ability to obtain funding from these 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 funding become restricted due to a disruption in the financial markets. The Company attempts to quantify such ~~impact~~credit-event risk by ~~performing stress tests~~modeling scenarios that ~~assess~~estimate the ~~effect on~~ liquidity impact resulting from a short-term ratings downgrade over various ~~levels of internal and external stress factors. The liquidity~~grading levels. Such impact ~~of such events~~ 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 was not material at ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 or December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. The total amounts of VRDBs outstanding backed by M&T Bank letters of credit were ~~$861~~$725 million at ~~June 30,~~each of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, compared with ~~$847~~$850 million at ~~June 30, 2019 and $857 million at December~~March 31, ~~2019.~~2020. 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 that 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 1213 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 bank subsidiaries, which are subject to various regulatory limitations. Dividends from any bank subsidiary to M&T are limited by the amount of earnings of the subsidiary in the current year and the two preceding years. For purposes of that test, at ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 approximately ~~$634~~$969 million was available for payment of dividends to M&T from bank subsidiaries. M&T also may obtain funding through long-term borrowings. Outstanding senior notes of M&T at ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019~~2020 were ~~$790~~$779 million and ~~$770~~$783 million, respectively. Junior subordinated debentures of M&T associated with

trust preferred securities outstanding at ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019~~2020 totaled ~~$527~~$529 million and ~~$525~~$528 million, respectively.

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 ~~funding needs.~~in the ordinary 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 strain on liquidity at either M&T or its subsidiary banks.

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 manage 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 has entered into interest rate swap agreements to help manage exposure to interest rate risk. At ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, the aggregate notional amount of interest rate swap agreements entered into for risk management purposes that were currently in effect was ~~$16.4~~$19.0 billion. In addition, the Company has entered into ~~$40.9~~$18.7 billion of forward-starting interest rate swap agreements.

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, market-implied forward interest rates over the subsequent twelve months are generally used to determine a base interest rate scenario for the net interest income simulation. That calculated base net interest income is then compared to the income calculated under the varying interest rate scenarios. 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, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019~~2020 displays the estimated impact on net interest income in the base scenario described above resulting from parallel changes in interest rates across repricing categories during the first modeling year.

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 changes in interest rates during a twelve-month period as compared with the base scenario. In the declining rate scenario, the rate changes may be limited to lesser amounts such that interest rates remain at or above zero on all points of the yield curve. 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 in notes 23 and 1112 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 for trading account activities consist predominantly of interest rate contracts, such as interest rate 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 trading account positions associated with interest rate contracts and foreign currency and other option and futures contracts are presented in note 910 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 ~~$37.1~~$36.2 billion at ~~June 30, 2020, $44.4~~March 31, 2021, $36.7 billion at ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and ~~$48.6~~$37.8 billion at December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. The notional amounts of foreign currency and other option and futures contracts entered into for trading account purposes were ~~$1.0 billion~~$910 million at ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, compared with ~~$949~~$928 million at ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and ~~$1.2 billion~~$776 million at December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. Although the notional amounts of these contracts are not recorded in the consolidated balance sheet, the unsettled 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 recognized on the balance sheet were ~~$1.3 billion~~$687 million and ~~$138~~$95 million, respectively, at ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and ~~$470 million~~$1.1 billion and ~~$80~~$117 million, respectively, at December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. The fair value asset and liability amounts at ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2021 have been reduced by contractual settlements of $55 million and $502 million, respectively, and at December 31, 2020 have been reduced by contractual settlements of $3$6 million and ~~$1.0 billion, respectively, and at December 31, 2019 have been reduced by contractual settlements of $43 million and $281~~$806 million, respectively. The ~~higher~~lower balance of trading account assets at ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 as compared with December 31, ~~2019~~2020 was largely the result of ~~increased~~decreased values associated with interest rate swap agreements entered into with commercial customers that are not subject to periodic variation margin settlement

payments. Included in trading account assets were assets related to deferred compensation plans aggregating $20 million at ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2021, compared with $19 million March 31, 2020 and $21 million ~~at each of June 30, 2019 and~~ December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. Changes in the fair values 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,~~each of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were ~~$23~~$24 million of liabilities related to deferred compensation plans, compared with ~~$24~~$22 million at ~~June 30, 2019 and $25 million at December~~March 31, ~~2019.~~2020. 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 $29 million at ~~June 30,~~each of March 31, 2021, March 31, 2020 ~~$27 million at June 30, 2019~~ and ~~$28 million at~~ December 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

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 910 of Notes to Financial Statements.

As described in note 3 of Notes to Financial Statements, effective January 1, 2020 the Company adopted amended accounting guidance for the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. That guidance requires an allowance for credit losses to be deducted from the amortized cost basis of financial assets to present the net carrying value that is expected to be collected over the contractual term of the assets considering relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectibility of the reported amount. The new guidance replaces the previous incurred loss model for determining the allowance for credit losses. The adoption of the amended guidance resulted in a $132 million increase in the allowance for credit losses at January 1, 2020. Increases in the allowance for residential real estate loans and consumer loans, reflecting the longer-dated maturities of such portfolios, were offset somewhat by net decreases in the allowance for commercial loans resulting from lower loss estimates on demand loan products due to the assumption that the Company could require full repayment of such loans in the near-term. The following table depicts the changes in the allowance for credit losses by loan category resulting from the adoption of the amended guidance.

~~IMPACT OF ADOPTION OF AMENDED ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE ON ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES~~

The amended guidance requires estimated credit losses on loans acquired at a discount to be reflected in the allowance for credit losses. Previously, such losses were netted in the carrying value of the loans unless there was an increased loss expectation subsequent to their acquisition. The gross-up of the estimated losses on loans acquired at a discount that was previously not recognized in the allowance for credit losses was $18 million on January 1, 2020. Prior to January 1, 2020, the Company generally recognized interest income on loans acquired at a discount regardless of the borrowers’ repayment status. Effective with the adoption of the new accounting guidance, the Company’s nonaccrual loan policy now applies to loans acquired at a discount. Loans acquired at a discount at December 31, 2019 included $171 million of loans that, effective with the adoption of the new guidance, were classified as non-accrual loans on January 1, 2020.

A provision for credit losses is recorded to adjust the level of the allowance as deemed necessary by management. ~~The~~A provision for credit losses recapture was recorded in the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2020 was $325~~2021 for $25 million, compared with ~~$55~~provisions of $250 million in the year-earlier quarter and ~~$250~~$75 million in the ~~initial~~fourth quarter of 2020. ~~As noted earlier, the significant increases~~The provision recapture in the ~~provision~~recent quarter reflects improvements in ~~the two most recent quarters~~macroeconomic forecasts at March 31, 2021 as compared with previous forecasts.

The level of ~~new accounting guidance~~the provisions in the 2020 quarters reflected projections of expected credit losses that were based on ~~January 1, 2020 and~~economic forecasts at those dates. The Company’s estimates of expected losses reflect ~~updated economic assumptions and projections that considered~~ the ~~deteriorating macroeconomic outlook resulting from~~ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic ason economic activity, concerns about commercial real estate values in the hospitality and office building sectors, and the ultimate collectability of ~~the end of each of the first two quarters of 2020.~~real estate loans where borrowers requested repayment forbearance. Net charge-offs of loans were ~~$71~~$75 millionin the recent quarter, ~~compared with $44 million and~~ $49 million in ~~the second quarter of 2019 and~~ the first quarter of 2020 ~~respectively.~~and $97 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. Net charge-offs as an annualized percentage of average loans and leases were ~~.29%~~ .31%in the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2020, .20%~~2021, .22% in the year-earlier quarter and ~~.22%~~.39% in the ~~initial 2020 quarter. Excluding loans associated with the PPP, which are guaranteed by the SBA, net charge-offs for the recent~~final quarter ~~were .31%~~ of average loans outstanding. Net charge-offs for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were $120 million and $67 million, respectively, representing an annualized .26% and .15%, repectively, of average loans and leases.2020. A summary of net charge-offs by loan type is presented in the table that follows.

The higher levels of net charge-offs of commercial loans in the fourth quarter of 2020 and commercial real estate loans in the first quarter of 2021 reflect the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on borrowers’ abilities to repay loans associated with the retail, office building and hospitality sectors. Included in net charge-offs of consumer loans were net charge-offs of: automobile loans of $9$2 million in the recent quarter, ~~$6 million in the second quarter of 2019 and~~ $7 million in the first quarter of

2020 and $4 million in the final quarter of 2020; recreational finance loans of $5$7 million in the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2020, $5~~2021, $9 million in the year-earlier quarter and $9$8 million in the ~~initial~~fourth 2020 quarter; and home equity loans and lines of credit secured by one-to-four family residential properties of $2 million in last year’s first quarter and less than $1 million in the ~~recent~~final 2020 quarter, compared with net recoveries of less than $1 million in ~~last year’s second quarter and $2 million in~~ the ~~first quarter of 2020.~~initial 2021 quarter.

Nonaccrual loans aggregated ~~$1.16~~$1.96 billion or ~~1.18%~~1.97% of total loans and leases outstanding at ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, compared with $1.06 billion or 1.13% at March 31, 2020 and ~~$1.13~~$1.89 billion or ~~1.25%~~1.92% at ~~January 1,~~December 31, 2020. The ~~adoption~~higher level of nonaccrual loans at the past two quarter-ends as compared with March 31, 2020 reflects the continuing impact of the ~~new accounting guidance resulted~~pandemic on borrowers’ ability to make contractual payments on their loans, most notably loans in an increase in nonaccrual loans on January 1, 2020 of approximately $171 million. Previously such loans would have been classified as either purchased impaired loans or acquired accruing loans past due 90 days or more. Loans classified as nonaccrual at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2019 totaled $865 million and $963 million, respectively, or .96% and 1.06% of total loans outstanding.the hospitality sector.

Accruing loans past due 90 days or more were ~~$536 million~~$1.08 billion or ~~.55%~~1.09% of loans and leases at ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, compared with $530 million or .56% at March 31, ~~2020. Accruing loans past due 90 days or more (excluding loans acquired at a discount) were $349~~2020 and $859 million or ~~.39% of total loans outstanding at June 30, 2019 and $519 million or .57%~~.87% of outstanding loans at December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. Accruing loans past due 90 days or more included loans guaranteed by government-related entities of ~~$454 million, $320 million, $480~~$1.04 billion, $464 million and ~~$464~~$798 million at ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2021, March 31, 2020 ~~June 30, 2019,~~and December ~~31, 2019 and March~~ 31, 2020, respectively. Guaranteed loans included one-to-four family residential mortgage loans serviced by the Company that were ~~repurchased~~purchased 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~~those purchased loans that are guaranteed by government-related entities totaled ~~$428 million~~ $1.01 billionat ~~June 30, 2020, $300~~March 31, 2021, $439 million a year earlier ~~$452~~and $764 million at December 31, ~~2019 and $439 million at March 31,~~ 2020. ~~The increase in such loans since June 30, 2019 resulted largely from loans associated with servicing the Company added in 2019.~~ 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. In addition to the past due loans, the Company also has $2.4 billion of government-guaranteed residential mortgage loans that are not considered delinquent because the borrower has requested and received a COVID-19 related payment deferral. In general, those loans were also purchased to reduce associated servicing costs as described above and also remain covered by the insurance or guarantee of the applicable government-related entity, but are not considered to be past due in accordance with the accounting treatment afforded under the CARES Act and related regulatory and financial accounting guidance as described below and in note 1 of Notes to Financial Statements in M&T’s 2020 Annual Report.

Loans that were 30-89 days past due were ~~$618~~$692 million at ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, compared with ~~$1.2 billion at December 31, 2019 and~~ $1.4 billion at March 31, 2020 and $662 million at December 31, 2020. The lower ~~level~~levels of such past due loans at ~~the recent quarter end was~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were a result of loan ~~paydowns,~~payments received, many of which resulted in return to current status, and migrations of loans to nonaccrual status. COVID-19 related payment deferral modifications ~~which largely occurred in the second quarter of 2020,~~ resulted in such loans being classified as current in accordance with regulatory guidance and, as a result, did not contribute in incremental additions to loans categorized as 30-89 days past due.

Prior to the adoption of the new accounting standard on January 1, 2020, the Company reported purchased impaired loans. 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 continued to accrue interest income on such loans based on the estimated expected cash flows associated with the loans. The amended accounting guidance requires estimated credit losses on loans acquired at a discount to now be reflected in the allowance for credit losses and effective with the adoption of the guidance, the Company’s nonaccrual loan policy now applies to such loans. The

~~carrying amount of purchased impaired loans was $263 million at June 30, 2019 and $228 million at December 31, 2019.~~

The United States has been operating under a state of emergency related to the COVID-19 pandemic since March 13, 2020. The direct and indirect effects of the COVID-19 pandemic ~~have~~ resulted in a dramatic reduction in economic activity that ~~has~~ severely hampered the ability of some businesses and consumers to meet their repayment obligations. The CARES Act, in addition to providing financial assistance to both businesses and consumers, created a forbearance program for federally-backed mortgage loans, protects borrowers from negative credit reporting due to loan accommodations related to the national emergency, and provides financial institutions the option to temporarily suspend certain requirements under GAAP related to troubled debt restructurings for a limited period of time to account for the effects of COVID-19. The banking regulatory agencies ~~have~~ likewise issued guidance encouraging financial institutions to work prudently with borrowers who are, or may be, unable to meet their contractual payment obligations because of the effects of COVID-19. That guidance, with concurrence of the Financial Accounting Standards Board and provisions of the CARES Act, allow modifications made on a good faith basis in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were generally current with their payments prior to any relief, to not be treated as delinquent or as troubled debt restructurings. Modifications may include payment deferrals ~~fee waivers,~~(including extensions of ~~repayment terms, or other delays in payment.~~maturity dates), covenant waivers and fee waivers. The Company ~~continues to work~~has worked with its customers affected by COVID-19 and, as previously noted, has granted ~~a significant amount of~~ modifications across many of its loan

portfolios. To the extent that such modifications met the criteria previously described, such modifications have not been classified as delinquent or as troubled debt restructurings. A summary of loans for which COVID-19 forbearances have been granted and which are not considered impaired or past due is presented herein and in note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements.

The Company also modified the terms of select loans in an effort to assist borrowers that were not related to the COVID-19 pandemic. 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. ~~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 34 of Notes to Financial Statements.

Residential real estate loans modified under specified loss mitigation programs prescribed by government guarantors that were not related to the COVID-19 pandemic 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 ~~$188~~$417 million, ~~$199~~$176 million and ~~$203~~$342 million at ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2021, March 31, 2020 ~~June 30, 2019~~ and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, respectively.

Commercial loans and leases classified as nonaccrual totaled ~~$285~~$295 million, ~~$224 million, $347~~$287 million and ~~$287~~$307 million at ~~June 30, 2020, June 30, 2019, December~~March 31, ~~2019, and~~2021, March 31, 2020, ~~respectively. The decline in such loans from~~and December 31, ~~2019 to March 31,~~ 2020, ~~predominantly resulted from payments received from borrowers.~~respectively. Commercial real estate loans in nonaccrual status aggregated ~~$260~~$952 million, ~~$242 million, $195~~$227 million and ~~$227~~$891 million at ~~June 30, 2020, June 30, 2019, December~~March 31, ~~2019, and~~2021, March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2020, respectively.The increases in commercial real estate loans in nonaccrual status at the two most recent quarter-ends as compared with March 31, 2020 were largely due to the addition of $530 million of hotel loans in the second half of 2020.

Nonaccrual residential real estate loans totaled ~~$426~~$529 million at ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, compared with ~~$298 million at June 30, 2019, $319 million at December 31, 2019 and~~ $413 million at March 31, 2020, and $513 million at December 31, 2020. The ~~increase~~increases at the ~~end of the first~~ two ~~quarters of 2020~~most recent quarter-ends as compared with the ~~prior year dates is~~year-earlier date were largely reflective of the ~~impact~~effect of ~~the adoption of the amended accounting guidance as noted earlier.~~recent economic conditions on borrowers. Included in residential real estate loans classified as nonaccrual were limited documentation first mortgage loans of $143 million at March 31, 2021, compared with $119 million at ~~each of June 30, 2020 and~~ March 31, 2020 ~~compared with $88 million at June 30, 2019~~ and ~~$83~~$147 million at December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. 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. The Company no longer originates limited documentation loans. Residential real estate loans past due 90 days or more and accruing interest ~~(excluding loans acquired~~aggregated $1.04 billion at ~~a discount at the 2019 dates) aggregated $479 million at June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, compared with ~~$322 million at June 30, 2019, $487 million at December 31, 2019 and~~ $474 million at March 31, 2020, and $793 million at December 31, 2020. ~~A substantial portion of such~~Those amounts related to ~~repurchased~~ government-guaranteed loans ~~including the~~as previously ~~noted~~

Real estate and other foreclosed assets totaled ~~$67~~$30 million at ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, compared with ~~$73 million at June 30, 2019, $86 million at December 31, 2019 and~~ $84 million at March 31, 2020 and $35 million at December 31, 2020. The decline from March 31, 2020 is largely reflective of foreclosure moratoriums imposed by government authorities in numerous jurisdictions.

(a)Predominantly residential real estate loans. ~~Prior to 2020, excludes loans acquired at a discount.~~

~~Beginning in 2020, management~~Management determines the allowance for credit losses under ~~new~~ accounting guidance that requires estimating the amount of current expected credit losses over the remaining contractual term of the loan and ~~leases~~lease portfolio. A description of the methodologies used by the Company to estimate its allowance for credit losses ~~in 2020~~ can be found in note 34 of Notes to Financial Statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. For periods prior to 2020, a description of the methodologies used by the Company for determining the allowance for credit losses may be found in the Provision for Credit Losses section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in M&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.Statements.

In establishing the allowance for credit losses, ~~subsequent to December 31, 2019,~~ the Company estimates losses attributable to specific troubled credits identified through both normal and targeted credit review processes and also estimates losses for other loans and leases with similar risk characteristics 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. At the time of the Company’s analysis regarding the determination of the allowance for credit losses as of ~~June 30, 2020, there~~March 31, 2021, concerns existed ~~substantial concerns~~ about the ~~continued economic decline~~somewhat uneven and incomplete recovery evident in the economy related to the COVID-19 ~~pandemic;~~pandemic, despite recent improvements in macroeconomic forecasts; the ultimate effectiveness of economic stimulus being provided by the U.S. government; the volatile nature 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; the extent to which additional repayment forbearance might be requested by borrowers, in particular commercial real estate borrowers; and continued stagnant population and economic growth in the upstate New York and central Pennsylvania regions (approximately ~~52%~~49% of the Company’s loans and leases are to customers in New York State and Pennsylvania). that could see lingering effects of the economic downturn. The Company utilizes a loan grading system to differentiate risk amongst its commercial loans and commercial real estate loans. Loans with a lower

expectation of default are assigned one of ten possible “pass” loan grades and through the loss estimation modeling and other techniques used by the Company are generally considered to possess lower expected losses when determining the allowance for credit losses. Loans with an elevated level of credit risk are classified as “criticized” and are ascribed higher expected loss amounts when determining the allowance for credit losses. ~~Criticized loans~~A criticized loan 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. During ~~the second quarter of~~2021 and 2020, the Company re-graded a significant ~~portion~~portions of its commercial loans and commercial real estate loans, particularly those that were ~~modified as a result of~~affected by COVID-19 impacts. Criticized commercial loans and commercial real estate loans totaled ~~$6.2~~$8.4 billion at ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, compared with ~~$2.8 billion at June 30, 2019, $2.5 billion at December 31, 2019, and~~ $2.4 billion at March 31, 2020, and $7.2 billion at December 31, 2020. The rise in criticized loans at the two most recent ~~quarter-end~~quarter-ends as compared to March 31, 2020 reflects the impact of the pandemic on borrowers’ financial condition and the continuing re-grading of loans by the Company. The declines from the second quarter of 2019 to the end of 2019’s final quarter and the first quarter of 2020 reflect payments received on criticized loans during 2019 and early 2020 and the removal of loans to customers experiencing improved financial condition.

The COVID-19 pandemic and related governmental responses ~~to COVID-19 have~~ led to a significant reduction in economic activity that has been detrimental to many ~~businesses~~borrowers across the Company’s geographic regions. ~~As a result, borrowers~~Borrowers have been and will likely continue to be ~~significantly~~adversely impacted by the ~~shut-downs caused by the March 13, 2020 nationwide state~~economic effects of ~~emergency resulting from~~ the COVID-19 pandemic. Summaries of loans outstanding as of March 31, 2021 for which borrowers have been granted a COVID-19 related forbearance and loans extended under the PPP are provided in the accompanying table. Of the COVID-19 related modifications with payment deferrals at March 31, 2021, substantially all are scheduled to expire during 2021.

As commercial ~~loan and lease~~loans and commercial real estate loans were approved for modifications related to COVID-19, loan ~~portfolios~~officers and credit department personnel reviewed and reassigned loan grades, as deemed appropriate. The Company assessed loans considering the creditworthiness of ~~June 30, 2020~~the borrower, collateral values, the financial condition of any guarantors, and the expected collectability of contractual principal and interest payments. Loan-to-collateral values on investor-owned loans are ~~provided below.~~generally relatively low and oftentimes the loans include some form of recourse. Loans secured by residential real estate with a COVID-19 payment forbearance were evaluated for collectability based on the borrower’s ability to repay considering past performance and estimated collateral values. If collectability was considered doubtful, loans were classified as nonaccrual.

Loan officers in different geographic locations with the support of the Company’s credit department personnel review and reassign loan grades based on their detailed knowledge of individual borrowers and their judgment of the ~~regions~~impact on such borrowers resulting from changing conditions in ~~which they operate.~~their respective regions. The Company re-assessed its loan grades for those borrowers most impacted by COVID-19 in ~~the second quarter of~~ 2020 and expects that loans will continue to be ~~re-graded~~regraded in subsequent ~~period~~periods as more information becomes available. At least annually, however, 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 credit 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 contemplated.

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 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, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, approximately ~~60%~~61% 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 60% (or approximately 23% 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, 2020, the balance of junior lien loans and lines that were in nonaccrual status solely as a result of first lien loan performance was $4 million, compared with $5 million at June 30, 2019 and $6 million at each of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020. 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 and for purposes of ~~estimating incurred losses in~~ determining the allowance for credit losses, the Company gives consideration to the required repayment of any first lien positions related to collateral property. 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, 2020,~~March 31, 2021 approximately ~~83%~~84% 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 ~~six~~five years, and approximately ~~18%~~ 22%were making contractually allowed payments that do not include any 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.

The Company generally estimates current expected credit losses on loans with similar risk characteristics on a collective basis. To estimate expected losses, the Company utilizes statistically developed models to project principal balances over the remaining contractual lives of the loan portfolios and determine estimated credit losses through a reasonable and supportable forecast period. The Company’s approach for estimating current expected credit losses for loans and leases at ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, March 31, 2020 and ~~January 1,~~December 31, 2020 included utilizing ~~macro-economic~~macroeconomic assumptions to project losses over a two-year reasonable and supportable forecast period. Subsequent to the forecast period, the Company reverted to longer-term historical loss experience, over a period of one year, to estimate expected credit losses over the remaining contractual life. Forward-looking estimates of certain ~~macro-economic~~macroeconomic variables are determined by the M&T Scenario Development Group, which is comprised of senior management business leaders and economists. ~~Changes in the forecasted economic assumptions from January 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020 primarily reflect the projected impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.~~ The assumptions utilized as of ~~June 30, 2020 reflected a longer period of economic recovery than previously assumed. Those assumptions~~March 31, 2021 included a ~~decline~~decrease in the unemployment rate in the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2020~~2021 to approximately 9%6.2% from ~~a peak~~6.8% at the end of ~~nearly 14% in~~ the ~~second~~fourth quarter of 2020, followed by a ~~sustained high single-digit~~gradual decrease of the unemployment rate through the first quarter of 2023 to 4.2%. The forecast assumes that GDP grows at a 6.3% annual rate during 2021 resulting in GDP returning to pre-pandemic levels during 2021.The commercial real estate price index was assumed to be flat from pre-pandemic levels over the next two years. Residential real estate prices were not assumed to fluctuate significantly. The forecast considered approved government stimulus through March 31, 2021, but not any further fiscal or monetary actions. The assumptions utilized as of December 31, 2020 included the national unemployment rate continuing at elevated levels, on average 6.9% through 2021, followed by a gradual return to long-term historical averages by the end of 2022. The forecast also assumed gross domestic product to ~~contract nearly 7%~~grow at a 4.1% annual rate during 2021 resulting in ~~2020 and to then recover~~a return to pre-pandemic levels by the ~~second quarter~~end of 2022. Commercial real estate prices were assumed to decline by ~~15%~~6.8% in ~~the first forecast year,~~2021, followed by improvement. Residential real estate prices were not assumed to fluctuate significantly. The forecast considered approved government stimulus at the end of 2020, but not any further fiscal or monetary actions. The forecast at March 31, 2020 reflected a sharp contraction of economic activity in the second quarter of

2020 resulting in a projected unemployment rate of 9.3% and an annualized rate of decrease in gross domestic product as low as 26.1% with a decrease of 2.9% during 2020. Additionally, commercial real estate prices were anticipated to decline by an average of 15.6% in the first forecast year, followed by improvement of 9.8% in year 2. The forecast utilized as of March 31 contemplated a significant economic recovery beginning in the third quarter of 2020. The assumptions utilized as of January 1, 2020 at the time of adoption of the expected credit loss accounting standard were significantly less severe. Those assumptions anticipated unemployment rates that averaged under 4% and steady growth in gross domestic product of 3.3% over the eight quarter forecast period. Forecasted changes in real estate prices as of that date were not significant.. The assumptions utilized were based on information available to the Company at or near ~~June 30, 2020,~~ March 31, 2021, December 31, 2020 and ~~January 1,~~March 31, 2020 at the time it was preparing its estimate of expected credit losses as of those dates.

In establishing the allowance for credit losses the Company also considers the impact of portfolio concentrations, changes in underwriting practices, product expansions into new markets, imprecision in its economic forecasts, geopolitical conditions and other risk factors that influence its loss estimation process. Geopolitical conditions assessed at ~~June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020~~the end of the first quarter in 2021 included the potential impact of COVID-19 on economic activity that could influence the ability of customers to repay loan amounts in accordance with their contractual obligations. With respect to economic forecasts the Company assessed the likelihood of alternative economic scenarios during the two-year reasonable and supportable time period and of more negative or positive outcomes on its allowance for credit losses. Economic forecasts have changed rapidly in the recent past due to the uncertain impacts of COVID-19. Generally, an increase in unemployment rate or a decrease in any of the rate of ~~positive~~ change in gross domestic product, commercial real estate prices or home prices would have an adverse impact on expected credit losses and would likely result in an increase to the allowance for credit losses.

Further information about the Company’s methodology to estimate expected credit losses is included in note 34 of Notes to Financial Statements.

Management believes that the allowance for credit losses at ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 appropriately reflected expected credit losses inherent in the portfolio as of that date. The allowance for credit losses totaled $1.64 billion at ~~June 30, 2020 and~~March 31, 2021, compared with $1.38 billion at March 31, 2020 ~~compared with $1.18 billion on January 1, 2020 when the new accounting pronouncement became effective. The increases in the allowance for credit losses during the first~~ and second quarters of 2020 were primarily the result of deteriorating forecasted economic conditions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The allowance for credit losses totaled $1.03 billion at June 30, 2019, and $1.05$1.74 billion at December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. As a percentage of loans ~~and leases~~ outstanding, the allowance was ~~1.68%~~1.65% at ~~June 30, 2020, compared with~~March 31, 2021, 1.47% at March 31, 2020 ~~1.30% at January 1, 2020, 1.15% as of June 30, 2019~~ and ~~1.16%~~1.76% at December 31, 2019. Excluding the impact of government-guaranteed PPP loans originated by the Company in the second quarter of 2020, the allowance as a percentage of total loans and leases at June 30, 2020 was 1.79%.2020. The level of the allowance reflects management’s evaluation of the loan and lease portfolio using the methodology and considering the factors ~~previously referred to.~~as described herein. Should the various economic forecasts and credit factors considered by management in establishing the allowance for credit losses change and should management’s assessment of losses in the loan portfolio also change, the level of the allowance as a percentage of loans could increase or decrease in future periods. The reported level of the allowance reflects management’s evaluation of the loan and lease portfolio as of each respective date.

Other income totaled ~~$487~~$506 million in the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2020,~~2021, compared with ~~$512~~$529 million in the year-earlier quarter and ~~$529~~$551 million in the ~~first~~final quarter of 2020. The lower level of ~~such~~other income ~~in the most recent quarter~~ as compared with the ~~prior periods reflects~~first quarter of 2020 resulted from declines in ~~service charges on deposit accounts,~~ trading account and foreign exchange gains ~~merchant discount~~ and ~~credit card fees,~~service charges on deposit accounts, and ~~loan syndication fees,~~a $23 million distribution from BLG in the initial quarter of 2020. Those factors were partially offset by ~~higher~~increased residential mortgage banking revenues and trust income. ~~During~~The decreased income in the ~~first~~recent quarter as compared with the immediately preceding quarter predominantly reflects a fourth quarter 2020 distribution of ~~2020, $23~~$30 million ~~of income was received~~ from ~~Bayview Lending Group LLC, offsetting the impact of $21 million of~~BLG and unrealized losses on investment ~~securities on total other income during that quarter.~~securities.

Mortgage banking revenues were ~~$145~~$139 million in the recent quarter, compared with ~~$107 million in the second quarter of 2019 and~~ $128 million in the ~~initial~~first quarter of 2020 and $140 million in the final 2020 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 ~~$111~~$107 million in the ~~second~~initial quarter of ~~2020, compared with $72~~2021, $98 million in the similar quarter of ~~2019~~2020 and ~~$98~~ $95million in the ~~first 2020 quarter.~~fourth quarter of 2020. As compared with the ~~second quarter of 2019 and the immediately preceeding quarter,~~respective prior quarters, the higher residential mortgage banking revenues in the recent quarter resulted from increased gains associated with loans held for sale and related commitments, reflecting higher origination volumes and improved margins.

New commitments to originate residential real estate loans to be sold were approximately ~~$1.1~~$1.3 billion in the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2020,~~2021, compared with ~~$723~~$919 million in the year-earlier quarter and ~~$919 million~~$1.2 billion in the ~~initial 2020 quarter.~~fourth quarter of

2020. Realized gains from sales of residential real estate loans and loan servicing rights and recognized net unrealized gains or 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 ~~$52~~$50 million in the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2020, $13~~2021, $32 million in the corresponding period of ~~2019~~2020 and ~~$31~~$43 million in 2020’s ~~first~~final quarter.

Loans held for sale that were secured by residential real estate aggregated ~~$440~~$773 million at ~~June 30, 2020, $294~~March 31, 2021, $374 million at ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and ~~$414~~$777 million at December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. Commitments to sell residential real estate loans and commitments to originate residential real estate loans for sale at pre-determined rates totaled ~~$986~~$1.53 billion and $1.08 billion, respectively, at March 31, 2021, compared with $782 million and $712 million, respectively, at March 31, 2020 and $1.47 billion and $1.03 billion, respectively, at ~~June 30, 2020, compared with $626 million and $473 million, respectively, at June 30, 2019 and $713 million and $423 million, respectively, at~~ December 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

Changes in net unrealized gains or losses are recorded in mortgage banking revenues and resulted in net ~~increases~~decreases in revenues of ~~$26~~$4 million in the recent quarter $2and $7 million in the ~~second~~final 2020 quarter, compared with net increases in revenues of ~~2019 and~~ $5 million in the first quarter of 2020.

Revenues from servicing residential real estate loans for others were ~~$59~~$57 million during ~~each of~~ the ~~quarters~~quarter ended ~~June 30, 2020 and 2019,~~March 31, 2021, compared with $67 million and $52 million during the three months ended March 31, ~~2020.~~2020 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Reflected in residential real estate loans serviced for others were loans sub-serviced for others of ~~$64.7~~$69.7 billion, ~~$68.7 billion, $62.8~~$61.9 billion and ~~$61.9~~$68.1 billion at ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2021, March 31, 2020 ~~June 30, 2019,~~and December ~~31, 2019 and March~~ 31, 2020, respectively. Revenues earned for sub-servicing loans totaled $34 million during the recent quarter, ~~compared with $29 million in the second quarter of 2019 and~~ $37 million in the first quarter of ~~2020. During~~2020 and $28 million in the first and second quarters of 2020, the Company added approximately $2.0 billion and $6.9 billion, respectively, to its residential mortgage loan sub-servicing portfolio. The Company added approximately $16.6 billion to its residential mortgage loan sub-servicing portfolio during the secondfinal quarter of ~~2019 and another $1.0 billion was added during the fourth quarter of 2019.~~2020. The contractual servicing rights associated with loans sub-serviced by the Company were predominantly held by affiliates of BLG. Information about the Company’s relationship with BLG and its affiliates is included in note 1415 of Notes to Financial Statements.

Capitalized residential mortgage servicing assets totaled ~~$211~~$218 million at ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 (net of a ~~$27~~$21 million valuation allowance), ~~$245 million at June 30, 2019 (net of a $9 million valuation allowance), $237 million at December 31, 2019 (net of a $7 million valuation allowance) and~~ $224 million at March 31, 2020 (net of a $17 million valuation allowance) and $201 million at December 31, 2020 (net of a $30 million valuation allowance). ~~A provision~~During the recent quarter, the valuation allowance for ~~impairment of~~ capitalized residential mortgage servicing rights was reduced by $9 million, compared with additions to the valuation allowance of $10 million ~~was recorded~~and $3 million in ~~each of~~ the first and ~~second~~fourth quarters of 2020, respectively. Those increases and ~~a similar charge of $9 million was recorded during~~decreases in the ~~second quarter of 2019. Those provisions~~valuation allowance resulted from changes in the estimated fair value of capitalized mortgage servicing rights that reflected the impact of ~~lower~~changes in interest rates on the expected rate of residential mortgage loan prepayments.

Commercial mortgage banking revenues totaled ~~$34~~$32 million in the ~~recent~~first quarter of 2021, compared with ~~$35 million and~~ $30 million in the ~~second quarter of 2019 and~~ first quarter of 2020 ~~respectively.~~and $45 million in the fourth quarter of 2020.

to sell commercial real estate loans and commitments to originate commercial real estate loans for sale were ~~$492~~$348 million and ~~$237~~$250 million, respectively, at ~~June 30, 2020, $751~~March 31, 2021, $542 million and ~~$247~~$291 million, respectively, at ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and ~~$193~~$641 million

and ~~$164~~$364 million, respectively, at December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. Commercial real estate loans held for sale at ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2021, March 31, 2020 ~~June 30, 2019~~ and December 31, ~~2019~~2020 were ~~$255~~$99 million, ~~$504~~$250 million and ~~$28~~$278 million, respectively.

Service charges on deposit accounts were ~~$77~~$93 million ~~and $108 million in the second quarters of 2020 and 2019, respectively,~~ and $106 million in the first quarters of 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $96 million in the final quarter of 2020. The ~~decrease~~declines in such service charges in the two most recent ~~quarter~~quarters as compared with the ~~preceding quarters~~first quarter of 2020 resulted predominantly from lower consumer service charges, ~~predominantly~~largely resulting from ~~COVID-19 related fee waivers and lower debit card and other customer transaction activity, and decreased commercial service charges, largely due to~~ higher customer deposit ~~levels that can be used by those customers to offset transaction-related~~balances offsetting transaction-based fees, largely overdraft 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.

A comprehensive array of wealth management services are offered, including asset management, fiduciary services and family office services.~~wealth. Trust income aggregated ~~$152~~$156 million in the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2020,~~2021, compared with ~~$144~~$149 million in the year-earlier quarter and ~~$149~~$151 million in the ~~first~~fourth quarter of 2020. Revenues associated with the ICS business were approximately ~~$85 million during each of the two most recent quarters, compared with $77~~$89 million during the quarter ended ~~June 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2021, compared with $85 million and $86 million during the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The higher revenues in the ~~most~~ recent quarter as compared with the ~~year-earlier quarter reflect the impact of higher sales activities and~~respective 2020 quarters were largely attributable to increased retirement services income resulting from growth in collective fund balances. Revenues attributable to WAS totaled approximately ~~$60~~$59 million ~~during~~in each of ~~the~~ three-month periods ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 ~~and 2019~~ and $56 million ~~for~~during the three-month period ended March 31, 2020.

Trust assets under management include the Company’s proprietary mutual funds’ assets of ~~$12.6 billion, $11.8~~$12.7 billion, $12.8 billion and ~~$12.5~~$12.9 billion at ~~June 30, 2020, June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2021, March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, respectively. Additional trust income from investment management activities was $7$8 million in each of the ~~second~~first quarters of 2021 and 2020 and ~~2019, compared with $8~~$6 million in the ~~initial~~fourth 2020 quarter, and is predominantly comprised of fees earned from retail customer investment accounts.

Brokerage services income, which includes revenues from the sale of mutual funds and annuities and securities brokerage fees, totaled ~~$10~~$13 million in each of the ~~recent quarter, compared with~~first quarters of 2021 and 2020 and $12 million in the ~~second quarter of 2019 and $13 million in the first~~fourth quarter of 2020. Trading account and foreign exchange activity resulted in gains of $8$6 million, ~~$18~~$21 million and ~~$21~~$7 million during the quarters ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2021, March 31, 2020 ~~June 30, 2019~~ and ~~March~~December 31, 2020, respectively. The lower gains in the two most recent ~~quarter~~quarters as compared with the ~~prior quarters~~first quarter of 2020 were predominantly due to decreased activity related to interest rate swap agreements executed on behalf of commercial customers. The Company enters into interest rate and foreign exchange contracts with customers who need such services and concomitantly enters into offsetting trading positions with third parties to minimize the risks involved with these types of transactions. 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 910 of Notes to Financial Statements and herein under the heading “Taxable-equivalent Net Interest Income.”

The Company recognized net ~~gains~~losses on investment securities of $7$12 million in the recent quarter and ~~$9 million in the second quarter of 2019, compared with net losses of~~ $21 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared with net gains of $2 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. The gains and losses represented unrealized gains and losses on investments in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac preferred stock.

Other revenues from operations were ~~$87~~$111 million in the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2020,~~2021, compared with ~~$113~~$133 million in the corresponding ~~2019~~2020 period and ~~$133~~$143 million in the ~~initial~~fourth quarter of 2020. ~~Contributing to~~The primary factor for the ~~decline~~decrease in such revenues in the recent quarter as compared with the ~~prior quarters were the impact of reduced customer activity on~~

were ~~$23~~$26 million in the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2020,~~2021, compared with $30 million in the year-earlier quarterand and $31 million in the ~~year-earlier~~fourth quarter ~~and $30 million in the initial 2020 quarter.~~of 2020. 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~~$10 million in each of the ~~recent quarter, compared with $14 million in the second~~first quarter of ~~2019~~2021 and fourth quarter of 2020 and $12 million in the first quarter of 2020. Insurance-related sales commissions and other revenues totaled ~~$10~~$14 million in the quarter ended ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, compared with ~~$12 million and~~ $15 million ~~in 2019’s second quarter and 2020’s first quarter, respectively. M&T’s investment in BLG resulted in income~~ in the first quarter of 2020 ~~of $23 million. As previously noted, there was no such income in the second quarters of 2020 or 2019.~~

~~Other income totaled $1.02 billion during the first six months of 2020, up $4 million as compared with $1.01 billion in the year-earlier period. Higher mortgage banking revenues~~ and trust income in 2020 were largely offset by decreases in service charges on deposit accounts, income from BLG and merchant discount and credit card fees, and unrealized losses on investment securities.

Mortgage banking revenues totaled $273 million during the first six months of 2020, compared with $203 million during the similar period in 2019. Residential mortgage banking revenues aggregated $210 million and $138 million during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. New commitments to originate residential real estate loans to be sold aggregated $2.1 billion and $1.1 billion in the initial six months of 2020 and 2019, 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 aggregated to gains of $84 million and $23$11 million in the ~~six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Revenues from servicing residential real estate loans for others were $126 million in the first half~~fourth quarter of 2020 and $115 million in the corresponding 2019 period. Included in servicing revenues were sub-servicing revenues aggregating $71 million and $57 million in the first six months of 2020 and 2019, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, commercial mortgage banking revenues were $63 million and $65 million in 2020 and 2019, respectively. Commercial real estate loans originated for sale to other investors totaled $1.3 billion and $1.8 billion during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Service charges on deposit accounts aggregated $184 million during the first half of 2020, compared with $211 million in the year-earlier period. That decline was predominantly due to lower consumer service charges resulting from the impact of the pandemic, reflecting waived fees and lower debit card and other customer transaction activity. Trust income totaled $301 million and $277 million during the first six months of 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase in trust income in 2020 as compared with 2019 was largely due to higher revenues from the ICS business, reflecting both sales activities and higher retirement services income from growth in collective fund balances. Brokerage services income totaled $24 million in the first half of 2020, compared with $25 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019. Trading account and foreign exchange activity resulted in gains of $29 million during each of the first six months of 2020 and 2019.

Net unrealized losses on investment securities totaling $14 million were recognized during the first six months of 2020, compared with net unrealized gains of $21 million in the corresponding 2019 period.

Other revenues from operations totaled $220 million in the first half of 2020, compared with $247 million in the year-earlier period. Other revenues from operations include the following significant components. Letter of credit and other credit-related fees aggregated $56 million and $53 million in 2020 and 2019, respectively. Income from bank owned life insurance totaled $25 million in the first six months of 2020, compared with $26 million in the corresponding 2019 period. Merchant discount and credit card fees were $52 million and $58 million in the first six months of 2020 and 2019, respectively. Insurance-related commissions and other revenues aggregated $25 million and $26 million in 2020 and 2019, respectively.2020. M&T’s investment in BLG resulted in income of $23 million and $30 million in the first ~~six months~~and fourth quarters of 2020, ~~and $37 million~~respectively. There was no similar income in the ~~similar 2019 period.~~initial 2021 quarter.

Other expense totaled ~~$807~~$919 million in the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2020,~~2021, compared with ~~$873~~$906 million in the year-earlier quarter and ~~$906~~$845 million in the ~~first quarter~~final three months of 2020. Included in those amounts are expenses considered to be “nonoperating” in nature consisting of amortization of core deposit and other intangible assets of $4$3 million in each of the two most recent quarters and $5$4 million in the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2019.~~2020 and merger-related expenses of $10 million in the initial 2021 quarter. Exclusive of those nonoperating expenses, noninterest operating expenses were ~~$803~~$907 million in the recent quarter, compared with ~~$868 million in the second quarter of 2019 and~~ $903 million in the ~~initial~~year-earlier quarter and $842 million in the final 2020 quarter. The lower level of expenses in the recent quarter as compared with the second quarter of 2019 was largely attributable to a $48 million charge recorded in the 2019 period to reduce the carrying value of an investment in an asset manager that had been accounted for using the equity method of accounting to its estimated realizable value. The sale of that investment was completed in September 2019. Also contributing to the decreased expenses were lower costs for professional services, advertising and marketing, and travel and entertainment. The last two categories reflect reduced business activities during the COVID-19 pandemic. The recent quarter’s decline in noninterest operating expenses asAs compared with the first quarter of 2020, ~~was largely attributable to lower~~higher expenses for salaries and employee benefits and professional services in the initial 2021 quarter were partially offset by a recent quarter reduction of the valuation allowance for capitalized residential mortgage servicing rights of $9 million. When compared with the fourth quarter of 2020, the recent quarter increase in noninterest operating expenses resulted from higher costs for salaries and employee benefits, reflecting seasonally higher stock-based compensation and employee benefits expenses induring the ~~initial 2020~~recent quarter, and ~~reduced incentive compensation in 2020’s second~~increased professional services expenses, partially offset by the recent quarter ~~resulting from~~reduction of the ~~pandemic-related slowdown in business activity, and decreases in advertising and marketing, and travel and entertainment costs.~~valuation allowance for capitalized residential mortgage servicing rights. Table 2 provides a reconciliation of other expense to noninterest operating expense.

~~Other~~Salaries and employee benefits expense ~~for~~totaled $541 million in the first ~~half~~quarter of ~~2020 totaled $1.71 billion,~~2021, compared with ~~$1.77 billion~~$537 million in the year-earlier ~~period.

Exclusive~~fourth quarter of ~~those nonoperating expenses, noninterest operating expenses for the first half of 2020 were $1.71 billion, compared with $1.76 billion in the first six months of 2019.~~2020. The decline in noninterest operating expenses was largely attributable to the $48 million charge associated with the asset manager investment in 2019 and lower costs for legal-related and professional and outside services, partially offset by higher salaries and employee benefits expenses in the ~~2020 period.~~

Salaries and employee benefits expense totaled $459 million in the second quarter of 2020, compared with $456 million in the year-earlier quarter and $537 million in the first quarter of 2020. In comparing the second quarter of 2020 with that of 2019, higher expenses for salaries resulting from merit and other increases were offset by reduced incentive compensation costs. The decrease in salaries and employee benefits expense in the recent quarter as compared with the ~~first~~fourth quarter of 2020 ~~was attributable to~~reflect seasonally higher stock-based compensation, medical plan costs, payroll-related taxes, unemployment insurance and the Company’s contributions for retirement savings plan benefits related to annual incentive compensation paymentsthat aggregated approximately $69 million. Similar expenses in the first quarter of 2020 and decreased incentive compensation costs in the recent quarter. During the first six months of 2020 and 2019, salaries and employee benefits expense aggregated $996 million and $955 million, respectively. The higher expense level in 2020 largely reflects the impact of merit and other increases for employees and increased employee benefit costs, partially offset by lower incentive compensation costs.were approximately $67 million. The Company, in accordance with GAAP, has accelerated the recognition of compensation costs for stock-based awards granted to retirement-eligible employees and employees who will become retirement-eligible prior to full vesting of the award. As a result, stock-based compensation expense during the first ~~quarter~~quarters of 2021 and 2020 included $34 million and $31 million, respectively, that would have been recognized over the normal vesting period if not for the accelerated recognition provisions of GAAP.That acceleration had no effect on the value of stock-based compensation awarded to employees. Salaries and employee benefits expense included stock-based compensation of ~~$13~~$48 million and ~~$12~~$43 million in the three-month periods ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, respectively, and ~~June 30, 2019, respectively, $43~~$11 million in the three-month period ended ~~March~~December 31, ~~2020, and $56 million and $53 million during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.~~2020. The number of full-time equivalent employees was ~~17,098~~17,157 at ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, compared with ~~17,516~~17,416 and ~~17,416~~17,076 at ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and ~~March~~December 31, 2020, respectively.

Excluding the nonoperating expense items described earlier from each quarter, nonpersonnel operating expenses were ~~$344 million and $412 million in the quarters ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, respectively, and~~ $366 million in the ~~initial quarter~~each of ~~2020. On that same basis, such expenses were $710 million and $802 million in~~ the ~~six-month periods~~quarters ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2021, March 31, 2020 and ~~2019, respectively. The decline in nonpersonnel expenses in the recent quarter~~

asDecember 31, 2020. As compared with the ~~second quarter~~first and fourth quarters of ~~2019 reflects lower costs for~~2020, higher contributions made to The M&T Charitable Foundation and professional services ~~and advertising and marketing, and the $48 million charge related to the asset manager investment in the second quarter of 2019. The lower level of nonpersonnel operating expenses~~costs in the recent quarter ~~as compared~~were offset by a $9 million reduction of the valuation allowance for capitalized residential mortgage servicing rights in the initial 2021 quarter (compared with ~~the first 2020 quarter was predominantly attributable~~additions to ~~decreased costs for advertising~~that valuation allowance of $10 million and ~~marketing and travel and entertainment. The decline in nonpersonnel operating expenses~~$3 million in the first ~~six months~~and fourth quarters of 2020, as compared with the similar 2019 period reflected the 2019 asset manager investment charge of $48 million and reduced costs for legal-related and professional services, advertising and marketing, and travel and entertainment.respectively).

The efficiency ratio measures the relationship of noninterest operating expenses to revenues. The Company’s efficiency ratio was ~~55.7%~~60.3% during the recent quarter, compared with ~~56.0%~~58.9% and ~~58.9%~~54.6% in the ~~second quarter of 2019 and~~ first quarter of 2020 ~~respectively. The efficiency ratios for the six-month periods ended June 30,~~and fourth quarter of 2020, ~~and 2019 were 57.4% and 56.8%,~~ respectively. The calculation of the efficiency ratio is presented in Table 2.

The provision for income taxes was ~~$71~~$145 million in the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2020,~~2021, compared with ~~$152~~$81 million in the year-earlier quarter and ~~$81~~$149 million in the ~~initial 2020 quarter. For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the provisions for income taxes were $152 million and $304 million, respectively.~~final quarter of 2020. The effective tax rates were ~~22.8%~~24.5%, ~~24.3%~~23.1% and ~~23.1%~~24.1% for the quarters ended ~~June 30, 2020, June 30, 2019 and~~March 31, 2021, March 31, 2020 ~~respectively,~~ and ~~23.0% and 24.1% for the six-month periods ended June 30,~~December 31, 2020, ~~and 2019,~~ 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 discrete or infrequently occurring items. The Company’s effective tax rate in future periods will also be affected by any change in income tax laws or regulations 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.

Shareholders’ equity was ~~$15.9~~$16.4 billion at ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, representing ~~11.43%~~10.93% of total assets, compared with ~~$15.7~~$15.8 billion or ~~12.91%~~12.70% a year earlier and ~~$15.7~~$16.2 billion or ~~13.11%~~11.35% at December 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

Included in shareholders’ equity was preferred stock with financial statement carrying values of $1.25 billion at each of ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2021, March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2019, compared with $1.23 billion at June 30, 2019.~~ 2020.

Common shareholders’ equity was ~~$14.7~~$15.2 billion or ~~$114.54~~$118.12 per share, at ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, compared with ~~$14.5~~$14.6 billion or ~~$107.73~~$113.54 per share, a year earlier and ~~$14.5~~$14.9 billion or ~~$110.78~~$116.39 per share at December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. Tangible equity per common share, which excludes goodwill and core deposit and other intangible assets and applicable deferred tax balances, was ~~$78.62~~$82.35 at the end of the recent quarter, compared with ~~$73.29~~$77.60 at ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and ~~$75.44~~$80.52 at December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. The Company’s ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets was ~~7.48%~~7.26% at ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, compared with ~~8.41%~~8.30% a year earlier and ~~8.55%~~7.49% at December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. 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, remaining unrealized losses on held-to-maturity securities transferred from available for sale that have not yet been amortized, 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 reflected in shareholders’ equity, net of applicable tax effect, were ~~$170~~$122 million or ~~$1.32~~$.95 per common share, at ~~June 30, 2020, $7~~March 31, 2021, $135 million, or ~~$.05~~$1.05 per common share, at ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and ~~$37~~$145 million, or ~~$.29~~$1.13 per common share, at December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. Changes in unrealized gains and losses on investment securities are predominantly reflective of the impact of changes in interest rates on the values of such securities.

Information about unrealized gains and losses as of ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019~~2020 is included in note 23 of Notes to Financial Statements.

Reflected in the carrying amount of available-for-sale investment securities at ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 were pre-tax effect unrealized gains of ~~$253~~$177 million on securities with an amortized cost of ~~$5.4~~$4.1 billion and pre-tax effect unrealized losses of ~~$16~~$7 million on securities with an amortized cost of ~~$176~~$103 million. Information concerning the Company’s fair valuations of investment securities is provided in notes 23 and 1112 of Notes to Financial Statements.

Each reporting period the Company reviews its available-for-sale investment securities for declines in value that might be indicative of credit-related losses through an analysis of the creditworthiness of the issuer or the credit performance of the underlying collateral supporting the bond. If the Company does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of a debt security a credit loss is recognized ~~and such loss would be recognized~~ in the consolidated statement of income. Beginning January 1, 2020, an allowance for credit losses would reduce the carrying value of available-for-sale investment securities. Previously if a credit-related loss was deemed to have occurred, the investment security’s cost basis was adjusted~~, as appropriate for the circumstances.~~ A loss is also recognized ~~in the consolidated statement of income~~ if the Company intends to sell a bond or it more likely than not will be required to sell a bond before recovery of the amortized cost basis.

As of ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, based on a review of each of the securities in the available-for-sale investment securities portfolio, the Company concluded that it expected to realize the amortized cost basis of each security. As of ~~June 30, 2020,~~March

31, 2021, the Company did not intend to sell nor is it anticipated that it would be required to sell any securities for which fair value was less than the amortized 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 amortized cost basis of those securities to become ~~uncollectible.~~uncollectable.

~~On January 1, 2020 the Company adopted amended accounting~~Accounting guidance ~~that~~ requires investment securities held to maturity to be presented at their net carrying value that is expected to be collected over their contractual term. The Company estimated no material allowance for credit losses for its investment securities classified as held-to-maturity at ~~January 1, 2020,~~ March 31, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2020 as the substantial majority of such investment securities were obligations backed by the U.S. government or its agencies. The Company assessed the potential for expected credit 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, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, the Company had in its held-to-maturity portfolio privately issued mortgage-backed securities with an amortized cost basis of ~~$86~~$73 million and ~~$93~~$77 million, respectively, and a fair value of ~~$76~~$68 million and ~~$87~~$70 million, respectively. At ~~June 30, 2020, 82%~~March 31, 2021, 81% of the mortgage-backed securities were in the most senior tranche of the securitization ~~structure with 17% being independently rated as investment grade.~~structure. 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 9% at June 30, 2020, 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. The weighted-average default percentage and loss severity assumptions utilized in the Company’s internal modeling were 34% and 69% respectively. Given the securitization structure, some of the bonds held by the Company may defer interest payments in certain circumstances, but after2008. After considering the repayment structure and estimated future collateral cash flows of each individual ~~senior and subordinate tranche~~ bond, the Company has concluded that as of ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, it expected to recover the amortized cost basis of those privately issued mortgage-backed securities. Nevertheless, it is possible that adverse changes in the estimated 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 ~~$324~~$468 million, or ~~$2.53~~$3.64 per common share, at ~~June 30, 2020, $255~~March 31, 2021, $333 million or ~~$1.90~~$2.60 per common share, at ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and ~~$342~~$481 million or ~~$2.62~~$3.75 per common share, at December 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

On January 20, 2021, M&T’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase plan to repurchase up to $800 million of shares of M&T’s common stock subject to all applicable regulatory limitations. There were no repurchases pursuant to that repurchase plan in the first quarter of 2021, and M&T does not expect any repurchases while the acquisition of People’s United is pending. Pursuant to previously approved capital plans and authorizations by M&T’s Board of Directors, M&T repurchased 2,577,000 shares of its common stock for $374 million in the first quarter of 2020. There were no repurchases of M&T common stock ~~during~~in the quarter-ended June 30, 2020. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic impact on overall economic conditions and consistent with regulatory guidance, M&T has ceased repurchasing its common stock for the time being and does not anticipate repurchasing any shares during the thirdfourth quarter of 2020. ~~M&T repurchased 2,450,000 shares of its common stock for $402 million in the second quarter of 2019 and 4,600,000 shares for $768 million during the first half of 2019.~~

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

In addition, capital regulations require a “capital conservation buffer” of 2.5% composed entirely of CET1 on top of the minimum risk-weighted asset ratios.

The federal bank regulatory agencies have issued rules that allow banks and bank holding companies to ~~phase -in~~phase-in the impact of adopting the expected credit loss accounting model on regulatory capital.

The Company is subject to the comprehensive regulatory framework applicable to bank and financial holding companies and their subsidiaries, which includes examinations by a number of 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 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, ~~2019.~~2020.

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 1314 of Notes to Financial Statements. The reportable segments are Business Banking, Commercial Banking, Commercial Real Estate, Discretionary Portfolio, Residential Mortgage Banking and Retail Banking.

The Business Banking segment ~~earned~~contributed net income of ~~$38~~$46 million induring the ~~second quarter of 2020,~~three-month period ended March 31, 2021, compared with ~~$42 million in the second quarter of 2019 and~~ $33 million in the first quarter of 2020 and $53 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. As compared with the year-earlier quarter, a $22 million increase in net interest income and a $6 million reduction in the ~~11% recent quarter decline reflected~~provision for credit losses, due to lower net charge-offs, were partially offset by higher personnel-related costs of $4 million and a $4$3 million decrease in service charges on deposit ~~accounts,~~accounts. The higher net interest income reflected higher average outstanding balances of deposits and loans of $5.0 billion and $2.6 billion, respectively, and a $376 basis point widening of the net interest margin on loans offset, in part, by a narrowing of the net interest margin on deposits of 111 basis points. The decline in net income in the initial 2021 quarter as compared with the immediately preceding quarter reflected a $5 million increase in personnel-related costs, lower merchant discount and credit card fees of $2 million, and $2 million of higher centrally-allocated costs associated with data processing, risk management and other support services provided to the Business Banking segment.

Net income of the Commercial Banking segment was $123 million in the recent quarter, compared with $144 million in the initial 2020 quarter and ~~higher~~$122 million in the final 2020 quarter. The recent quarter’s decline in net income as compared with the first quarter of 2020 included an increase in the provision for credit losses of $26 million that reflected the impact of portfolio composition and net charge-offs, and a $5 million decrease in trading account and foreign exchange gains that resulted from lower activity related to interest rate swap agreements

executed on behalf of commercial customers. Those unfavorable factors were offset, in part, by a decline in personnel-related costs of $2$4 million. The slight increase in net income in the first quarter of 2021 quarter as compared with the fourth quarter of 2020 was due to higher fees for providing loan syndication services of $6 million and lower personnel-related costs of $6 million, partially offset by a $4$7 million increase in the provision for credit losses.

The Commercial Real Estate segment recorded net ~~interest income.~~income of $71 million in the first quarter of 2021, compared with $117 million in the year-earlier period and $70 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. The ~~improvement~~39% decline in net income in the recent quarter as compared with the first quarter of 2020 reflected an increase in the provision for credit losses of $36 million, due to higher net charge-offs, a $13 million decline in net interest income, ~~reflected higher average outstanding deposit~~ and ~~loan balances~~lower trading account and foreign exchange gains of ~~$3.4 billion and $2.7 billion, respectively, partially offset by~~$10 million, due largely to decreased activity related to interest rate swap transactions executed on behalf of commercial customers. The lower net interest income reflected a narrowing of the net interest margin on deposits and loans of 76105 basis points and 5419 basis points, respectively. The ~~increase in average loan balances reflects PPP loans originated in 2020’s second quarter. The~~ recent quarter’s ~~14% increase~~modest improvement in net income as compared with the ~~first~~immediately preceding quarter ~~of 2020 was largely due to an $8 million increase in net interest income and a $4 million decrease~~reflected decreases in the provision for credit losses ~~(due to lower net charge-offs), partially~~and personnel-related expenses that were largely offset by ~~declines of $4~~a decline in commercial mortgage banking revenues, reflecting lower gains on loans originated for sale, and a decrease in net interest income. The $9 million in service charges on deposit accounts and $2 million in merchant and credit card fee income, each reflecting the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic that has resulted in waived fees and reduced transaction activity. The improvementdecline in net interest income reflected ~~higher average outstanding deposit and loan balances of $3.2 billion and $2.5 billion, respectively, partially offset by~~ a narrowing of the net interest margin on deposits and loans of ~~42 and 68~~16 basis points respectively. Net income recorded by the Business Banking segment totaled $70 million in the first six months of 2020, compared with $86 million in the year-earlier period. That 18% year-over-year decrease was predominantly driven by a $9 million increase in the provision for credit losses, due to higher net charge-offs, higher personnel-related costs of $5 million and ~~a $3 million decline in service charges on deposit accounts.~~

The Commercial Banking segment recorded net income of $111 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2020, down from $124 million in the year-earlier quarter and $144 million in the first quarter of 2020. The 10% decrease as compared with the second quarter of 2019 reflected an increase of $27 million in the provision for credit losses, due to higher net charge-offs, a $9 million write-down of equipment under operating leases and lower merchant discount and credit card fees and advisory fees of $4 million and $3 million, respectively. Those unfavorable factors were offset, in part, by higher net interest income of $23 million, reflecting increased average outstanding deposit and loan balances of $7.2 billion and $3.9 billion, respectively, partially offset by a narrowing of the net interest margin on deposits and loans of 65 and 143 basis points, respectively. The increased loan balances largely reflect PPP loans funded during the recent quarter, The decrease in the recent quarter’s net income as compared with the immediately preceding quarter resulted from a $40 million increase in the provision for credit losses, due to higher net charge-offs, a $9 million write-down of operating lease equipment, a $7 million decrease in letter of credit and credit-related fees, predominantly due to lower loan syndication fees, and a $5 million decline in merchant discount and credit card fees. Partially offsetting those declines were higher net interest income of $16 million, reflecting a $5.9 billion increase in average outstanding deposit balances partially offset by a 38 basis point narrowing of the net interest margin on deposits, and a $6 million reduction in salaries and employee benefits expense.

Net income earned by the ~~Commercial Banking~~Discretionary Portfolio segment totaled

~~$255~~ $91 million ~~for~~during the first half of 2020, little changed from $256 million earned in the similar 2019 period. A higher provision for credit losses of $35 million, due to higher net charge-offs, was offset by a $30 million increase in net interest income, predominantly due to increases in average outstanding deposit and loan balances of $4.1 billion and $2.6 billion, respectively, partially offset by a 29 basis point narrowing of the net interest margin on deposits, and a $7 million rise in letter of credit and credit-related fees, largely due to higher loan syndication fees.

~~The Commercial Real Estate segment recorded net income of $107 million in the second quarter of 2020,~~three-month period ended March 31, 2021, compared with ~~$122~~$26 million in the year-earlier period and ~~$117~~$108 million in the initial 2020 quarter. Contributing to the 12% decline in the recent quarter’s net income as compared with the year-earlier quarter was a $21 million increase in the provision for credit losses, largely due to higher net charge-offs, partially offset by a $7 million increase in net interest income, chiefly due to a $1.8 billion increase in average outstanding loan balances, partially offset by a 64 basis point narrowing of the net interest margin on deposits. The recent quarter decline in net income as compared with the initial 2020 quarter reflects a $20 million increase in the provision for credit losses and a $7 million decline in trading account and foreign exchange gains (reflecting reduced customer interest rate swap agreement activity). Partially offsetting those unfavorable factors were a $9 million increase in net interest income, predominantly due to a $974 million increase in average outstanding loan balances, a $4 million increase in mortgage banking revenues, and a $3 million decline in salaries and employee benefits. Net income for the Commercial Real Estate segment totaled $224 million and $239 million during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. A $22 million increase in the provision for credit losses, mainly due to higher net charge-offs, was offset, in part, by higher trading account and foreign exchange gains of $5 million resulting from increased activity associated with interest rate swap agreements executed on behalf of commercial customers and a $3 million increase in net interest income, due primarily to an increase in average outstanding loan balances of $1.4 billion, partially offset by a 27 basis point narrowing of the net interest margin on deposits.

~~The Discretionary Portfolio segment contributed net income of $96 million during the three-month period ended June 30, 2020, up from $38 million in the year-earlier period and $26 million in the first~~fourth quarter of 2020. The recent quarter improvement as compared with the second quarter of 2019 was largely driven by a $86 million increase in net interest income. This favorable factor was partially offset by a $3 million decrease in trading account and foreign exchange gains and a $2 million decline in valuation gains associated with marketable equity securities. Thesignificant improvement in the recent quarter’s net income as compared with the ~~first~~initial 2020 quarter ~~of 2020~~ was ~~primarily~~predominantly due to ~~a $60 million~~an increase in net interest income ~~and higher valuations~~ of ~~marketable equity securities of $27 million. Year-to-date net income for this segment totaled $121 million in 2020 and~~ $77 million in 2019. Contributing to the year-over-year improvement was a $105 million increase in net interest income, partially offset by valuation losses associated with marketable equity securities (compared with gains in the 2019 period) representing a change of $35 million. The increases in net interest income reflectthat reflected additional income from interest rate swap agreements utilized as part of the Company’s management of interest rate ~~risk.~~

risk of $55 million. A 148 basis point and 55 basis point widening of the net interest margin on loans and deposits, respectively, also contributed to the higher net interest income. The 17% decline in net income in the initial 2021 quarter as compared with immediately preceding quarter reflected $12 million of valuation losses on marketable equity securities in the recent quarter (compared with valuation gains of $2 million in the fourth quarter of 2020) and lower net interest income of $7 million, largely reflecting a narrowing of the net interest margin on loans of 41 basis points.

Net income from the Residential Mortgage Banking segment was ~~$37 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2020, up from $8~~$50 million in the ~~year-earlier quarter and~~initial three months of 2021, compared with $25 million in the first quarter of ~~2020.~~2020 and $27 million in 2020’s fourth quarter. The increase in net income in the recent quarter as compared with the ~~second 2019 quarter was driven by~~year-earlier period reflected lower servicing-related costs (including intersegment costs and changes to the valuation allowance for capitalized residential mortgage servicing rights) of $21 million, higher net interest income of $18 million, reflecting increased average outstanding balances of loans and deposits of $2.3 billion and $1.6 billion, respectively, and higher revenues associated with mortgage origination and sales activities (including intersegment revenues) of ~~$43 million, partially offset by higher personnel-related costs of $4~~$17 million. The increase in the recent quarter’s net income as compared with the immediately preceding quarter was due to higher revenues from mortgage origination and sales activities of $20 million, partially offset by a decrease of $8 million in servicing revenues (including intersegment revenues). The Residential Mortgage Banking segment had net income of $62 million in the first six months of 2020, up from $21 million in the corresponding 2019 period. That improvement reflected higher revenues from mortgage origination and sales activities (including intersegment revenues) of $70 million from the year-earlier period resulting from increased loan commitment volumes and improved margins, as well as a $9 million increase in servicing revenues (including intersegment revenues). Those favorable factors were partially offset ~~in part,~~ by ~~higher additions to the valuation allowance for capitalized mortgage servicing rights of~~an $11 ~~million and increased salaries and employee benefits expense of $8 million.~~

Net income earned by the Retail Banking segment totaled $86 million in the second quarter of 2020, down from $140 million in the year-earlier quarter and $110 million in the initial 2020 quarter. The decline in the recently completed quarter as compared with the second quarter of 2019 was primarily driven by a $50 million decrease in ~~net interest income, predominately due to the impact~~revenues associated with servicing and sub-servicing residential real estate loans (including intersegment revenues) and $7 million of a narrowing of the net interest margin on deposits of 71 basis points, partially offset by higher average outstanding deposit and loan balances of $2.0 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively. Also contributing to the lower net income was a $25 million decreaseincreases in service charges on deposit accounts, reflective of fee waivers and lower customer transaction activity as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The 22% decrease in net income in the second quarter of 2020 as compared with the initial 2020 quarter reflected a $24 million decline in net interest income, mainly driven by a 35 basis point narrowing of the net interest margin on deposits, and a $22 million decrease in service charges on deposit accounts offset, in part, by a lower provision for credit losses of $9 million, mainly due to lower net charge-offs, and decreased centrally-allocated ~~expenses~~costs associated with data processing, risk management and other support services provided to the ~~Retail~~Residential Mortgage Banking ~~segment~~segment. As compared with the final quarter of ~~$4 million.~~ 2020, the improved performance in the recent quarter reflected lower servicing-related costs (including intersegment costs and changes to the valuation allowance for capitalized residential mortgage servicing rights) of $15 million, higher revenues associated with mortgage origination and sales activities (including intersegment revenues) of $6 million, and a $5 million increase in revenues associated with servicing and sub-servicing residential real estate loans (including intersegment revenues).

Net income ~~recorded~~earned by the Retail Banking segment totaled ~~$197~~$85 million in the first ~~half~~quarter of ~~2020 and $286~~2021, compared with $110 million in the ~~similar period~~year-earlier quarter and $83 million in the final 2020 quarter. The 23% decline in net income in the recent quarter as compared with the first quarter of ~~2019. Factors contributing~~2020 resulted predominantly from a $46 million decline in net interest income, due largely to ~~that 31% year-over-year decline~~an 85 basis point narrowing of the net interest margin on deposits, partially offset by an increase of average outstanding deposit balances of $6.0 billion, and a $10 million decrease in service charges on deposit accounts. Those factors were partially offset by a $17 million decrease in the provision for credit losses, due to lower net charge-offs, and lower personnel-related costs of $7 million. The recent quarter’s

slightly improved performance as compared with the fourth quarter of 2020 was due to decreases in the provision for credit losses and net occupancy expenses of $12 million. Those favorable factors were offset, in part, by $5 million decreases in each of service charges on deposit accounts and net interest income. The lower net interest income ~~of $75 million, reflecting~~reflected a narrowing of the net interest margin on deposits of 299 basis points that was partially offset by ~~a $1.5 billion~~an increase in average outstanding ~~loan~~deposit balances ~~a $24 million decline in service charges on deposit accounts, and higher personnel-related costs~~ of ~~$12 million.~~$2.1 billion.

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, ~~distributed income~~distributions from BLG, merger-related expenses resulting from acquisitions, ~~(when incurred)~~ 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 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 ~~$234~~$18 million ~~$302,000, and $186 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 and~~in the first quarter of ~~2020, respectively. As~~2021 and $186 million in the year-earlier quarter, compared with net income of $7 million in the fourth quarter of 2020.

The “All Other” category had a net loss of $420 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared with net loss of $8 million in the corresponding period of 2019. The unfavorable performance in 2020 as compared with 2019 was predominantly driven by: an increase in the provision for credit losses of $430 million, increased salaries and benefits of $19 million, a $13 million increase in outside data processing and software expense, and the unfavorable 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 offsetting those unfavorable factors were: a $48 million charge in 2019 associated with the reduction of the carrying value of an investment in an asset manager, lower professional services costs of $39 million and higher trust income of $23 million.methodologies.

Incorporated by reference to the discussion contained under the caption “Taxable-equivalent Net Interest Income” in Part I, Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

(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)), René F. Jones, 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, 2020.~~March 31, 2021.

(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. Effective January 1, 2020, M&T adopted a new accounting standard that significantly changed its process for calculating the allowance for credit losses and, as a result, modified many of its control activities associated with the determination of this critical accounting estimate. The revised processes and controls reflect the incorporation of macro-economic forecasts into credit-loss forecasting models for purposes of estimating expected loss amounts over a reasonable and supportable forecast period.No ~~other~~ 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, 2020~~March 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, M&T’s internal control over financial reporting.

The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic during the first quarter of 2020 necessitated the execution of several M&T contingency plans. Beginning in March 2020 and continuing through this filing date, the Company had a substantial number of its employees working remotely under such contingency plans.

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 $25 million. Although the Company does not believe that the outcome of pending legal matters 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.

~~ESOP Matters~~: Wilmington Trust, N.A. provides retirement services, including serving in certain trustee roles relating to Employee Stock Ownership Plans (“ESOPs”). Beginning in 2010, the U.S. Department of Labor (“DOL”) announced that it would increase its focus on ESOP transactions, particularly with regard to valuation issues relating to ESOP transactions. Beginning in late 2013, Wilmington Trust, N.A. began receiving requests for information and subpoenas relating to certain ESOP transactions for which it acted as trustee. In June 2016, Wilmington Trust, N.A. received a DOL subpoena seeking information on its global ESOP trustee business. In addition to these investigations, the DOL commenced three lawsuits against Wilmington Trust, N.A. relating to its role as trustee of three ESOP transactions. In July 2019, Wilmington Trust, N.A. reached a settlement in principle with the DOL to resolve certain pending DOL ESOP matters. On April 28, 2020, Wilmington Trust N.A. and the DOL executed a formal settlement

agreement. The total amount of the settlement was $88 million, which included $80 million in payments to 21 ESOPs. The settlement amount was within the Company’s reserve for litigation matters and substantially all was paid in the second quarter of 2020. Wilmington Trust, N.A. also was named as a defendant in five private party lawsuits relating to its role as trustee for five ESOP transactions. Three of the five private party lawsuits relating to ESOP transactions have been resolved through settlements, two of which have been preliminarily approved by Courts, and are in the process of administration. The third settled ESOP private action was settled on an individual basis and, therefore, does not require Court approval. None of those three settlements are material. Under applicable transaction documents, Wilmington Trust, N.A. may be entitled to indemnification by the ESOP plan sponsors. These matters could result in damages, settlements, penalties, restitution, reputational damage or additional costs and expenses.

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 3 — 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.

In addition to the risk factors ~~relating to M&T as~~ disclosed in response to Item ~~1A.~~1A to Part I of M&T’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2019, a~~2020, M&T has identified certain supplemental risk ~~factor~~factors relating to M&T’s acquisition of People’s United Financial, Inc. (“People’s United”) pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger, dated February 21, 2021, by and among M&T, Bridge Merger Corp., a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of M&T, and People’s United (the “merger agreement” and, such transaction, the “merger”). These risk factors and other risks associated with the merger are more fully discussed in the joint proxy statement/prospectus in connection with the merger that was filed by M&T with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 23, 2021.

M&T is ~~presented below.~~expected to incur significant costs related to the merger and integration.

M&T has incurred and expects to incur significant, non-recurring costs in connection with negotiating the merger agreement and closing the merger. In addition, M&T will incur integration costs following the completion of the merger as M&T integrates the People’s United business, including facilities and systems consolidation costs and employment-related costs.

There can be no assurances that the expected benefits and efficiencies related to the integration of the businesses will be realized to offset these transaction and integration costs over time. M&T may also incur additional costs to maintain employee morale and to retain key employees. M&T will also incur significant legal, financial advisory, accounting, banking and consulting fees, fees relating to regulatory filings and notices, SEC filing fees, printing and mailing fees and other costs associated with the merger. Some of these costs are payable regardless of whether the merger is completed.

Combining M&T and People’s United may be more difficult, costly or time-consuming than expected, and M&T may fail to realize the anticipated benefits of the merger.

The success of the merger will depend, in part, on the ability to realize the anticipated cost savings from combining the businesses of M&T and People’s United. To realize the anticipated benefits and cost savings from the merger M&T and People’s United must integrate and combine their businesses in a manner that permits cost savings to be realized, without adversely affecting revenues and future growth. If M&T and People’s United are not able to successfully achieve these objectives, the anticipated benefits of the merger may not be realized fully or at all or may take longer to realize than expected. In addition, the actual cost savings of the merger could be less than anticipated, and integration may result in additional and unforeseen expenses.

An inability to realize the full extent of the anticipated benefits of the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, as well as any delays encountered in the integration process, could have an adverse effect upon the revenues, levels of expenses and operating results of M&T following the completion of the merger, which may adversely affect the value of M&T’s common stock following the completion of the merger.

M&T and People’s United have operated and, until the completion of the merger, must continue to operate, independently. It is possible that the integration process could result in the loss of key employees, the disruption of each company’s ongoing businesses or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies that adversely affect the companies’ ability to maintain relationships with clients, customers, depositors and employees or to achieve the anticipated benefits and cost savings of the merger. Integration efforts between the two companies may also divert management attention and resources. These integration matters could have an adverse effect on M&T during this transition period and for an undetermined period after completion of the merger.

M&T may be unable to retain M&T and/or People’s United personnel successfully after the merger is completed.

The success of the merger will depend in part on M&T’s ability to retain the talents and dedication of key employees currently employed by M&T and People’s United. It is possible that these employees may decide not to remain with M&T or People’s United, as applicable, while the merger is pending or with M&T after the merger is completed. If M&T and People’s United are unable to retain key employees, including management, who are critical to the successful integration and future operations of the companies, M&T and People’s United could face disruptions in their operations, loss of existing customers, loss of key information, expertise or know-how and unanticipated additional recruitment costs. In addition, following the merger, if key employees terminate their employment, M&T’s business ~~financial condition, liquidity, capital and results of operations have been, and will likely continue to~~activities may be adversely affected, byand management’s attention may be diverted from successfully integrating M&T and People’s United to hiring suitable replacements, all of which may cause M&T’s business to suffer. In addition, M&T and People’s United may not be able to locate or retain suitable replacements for any key employees who leave either company.

The COVID-19 pandemic may delay and adversely affect the ~~COVID-19 pandemic.~~completion of the merger.

The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) pandemic has caused severe disruption to the U.S. and global economy and created significant volatility in the financial markets. The duration of this disruption and impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

~~The~~ pandemic has created economic and financial disruptions that have adversely affected, and are likely to continue to adversely affect, the ~~Company’s business, financial condition, liquidity, capital and results of operations. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to negatively affect the Company’s~~ business, financial condition, liquidity, capital and results of operations of M&T and People’s United. If the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic cause a continued or extended decline in the economic environment and the financial results of M&T or People’s United, or the business operations of M&T or People’s United are further disrupted as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, efforts to complete the merger and integrate the businesses of M&T and People’s United may also be delayed and adversely affected. Additional time may be required to obtain the requisite regulatory approvals, and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve Board”), the New York Department of Financial Services (“NYDFS”), the Connecticut Department of Banking (“CTDOB”) and/or other regulators may impose additional requirements on M&T or People’s United that must be satisfied prior to completion of the merger, which could delay and adversely affect the completion of the merger.

Regulatory approvals may not be received, may take longer than expected, or may impose conditions that are not presently anticipated or that could have an adverse effect on M&T following the merger.

Before the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement may be completed, various approvals, consents and non-objections must be obtained from the Federal Reserve Board, the NYDFS, the CTDOB, and other regulatory authorities. In determining whether to grant these approvals, such regulatory authorities consider a variety of factors. These approvals could be delayed or not obtained at all, including due to: an adverse development in either party’s regulatory standing or in any other factors considered by regulators when granting such approvals, including factors not known at the present time and factors that may arise in the future; governmental, political or community group inquiries, investigations or opposition; or changes in legislation or the political environment generally. The Federal Reserve Board has stated that if material weaknesses are identified by examiners before a banking organization applies to engage in expansionary activity, the Federal Reserve Board will expect the banking organization to resolve all such weaknesses before applying for such expansionary activity. The Federal Reserve Board has also stated that if issues arise during the processing of an application for expansionary activity, it will expect the applicant banking organization to withdraw its application pending resolution of any supervisory concerns.

The approvals that are granted may impose terms and conditions, limitations, obligations or costs, or place restrictions on the conduct of M&T’s business or require changes to the terms of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. There can be no assurance that regulators will not impose any such conditions, limitations, obligations or restrictions and that such conditions, limitations, obligations or restrictions will not have the effect of delaying the completion of any of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, imposing additional material costs on or materially limiting the revenues of M&T following the merger or otherwise reduce the anticipated benefits of the merger if the merger were consummated successfully within the expected timeframe. In addition, there can be no assurance that any such conditions, terms, obligations or restrictions will not result in the delay or abandonment of the merger. Additionally, the completion of the merger is conditioned on the absence of certain orders, injunctions or decrees by any court or regulatory agency of competent jurisdiction that would prohibit or make illegal the completion of any of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.

In addition, despite the parties’ commitments to use their reasonable best efforts to comply with conditions imposed by regulators, under the terms of the merger agreement, M&T will not be required, and People’s United will not be permitted without M&T’s prior written consent, to take actions or agree to conditions in connection with obtaining the foregoing permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of governmental entities that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on M&T and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, after giving effect to the merger.

If the merger is not completed for any reason, including as a result of M&T shareholders failing to approve either the amendment to M&T’s restated certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of M&T’s capital stock and preferred stock or the issuance of shares of M&T common stock to People’s United

stockholders in the merger or People’s United stockholders failing to approve the merger, there may be various adverse consequences and M&T may experience negative reactions from the financial markets and from its customers and employees. For example, M&T’s business may have been impacted adversely by the failure to pursue other beneficial opportunities due to the focus of management on the merger, without realizing any of the anticipated benefits of completing the merger. Additionally, if the merger agreement is terminated, the market price of M&T common stock could decline to the extent that the current market price of M&T common stock reflects a market assumption that the merger will be beneficial to M&T and will be completed. M&T could be subject to litigation related to any failure to complete the merger or to proceedings commenced against M&T to perform its obligations under the merger agreement. If the merger agreement is terminated under certain circumstances, M&T may be required to pay a termination fee of $280 million to People’s United.

Additionally, M&T has incurred and will incur substantial expenses in connection with the negotiation and completion of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, as well as the costs and expenses of preparing, filing, printing and mailing the joint proxy statement/prospectus for the merger, and all filing and other fees paid in connection with the merger. If the merger is not completed, M&T would have to pay these expenses without realizing the expected benefits of the merger.

M&T will be subject to business uncertainties and contractual restrictions while the merger is pending.

Uncertainty about the effect of the merger on employees and customers may have an adverse effect on M&T. These uncertainties may impair M&T’s ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel until the merger is completed, and could cause customers and others that deal with M&T to seek to change existing business relationships with M&T. In addition, subject to certain exceptions, M&T has agreed to refrain from taking certain actions that may adversely affect its ability to consummate the merger on a timely basis without People United’s consent. These restrictions may prevent M&T from pursuing attractive business opportunities that may arise prior to the completion of the merger.

Litigation related to the merger has been filed against People’s United, the People’s United board of directors and M&T, and additional litigation may be filed against People’s United, the People’s United board of directors, M&T and the M&T board of directors in the future. Among other remedies, litigation that has been filed seeks, and additional litigation by shareholders of M&T and/or stockholders of People’s United in the future may seek, damages and/or to enjoin the merger or the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. The outcome of any litigation is uncertain. If any plaintiff were successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting M&T or People’s United from completing the merger or any other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, then such injunction may delay or prevent the effectiveness of the merger and could result in significant costs to M&T, including costs in connection with the defense or settlement of any shareholder lawsuits filed in connection with the merger. Further, such lawsuits and the defense or settlement of any such lawsuits may have an adverse effect on the financial condition and results of operations of M&T.

The COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on M&T’s business and operations following the completion of the merger is uncertain.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will negatively affect the business, financial condition, liquidity, capital and results of operations of M&T following the completion of the merger will depend on future developments, ~~(including~~which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the COVID‑19 pandemic, ~~the continued effectiveness of M&T’s business continuity plans,~~ the direct and indirect impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on ~~the Company’s~~ employees, ~~customers,~~ clients, counterparties ~~vendors,~~and service providers, ~~and~~as well as other market participants, and actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the ~~pandemic), which are highly uncertain~~COVID-19 pandemic. Given the ongoing and ~~cannot be reasonably predicted.~~

The pandemic is likely to continue to contribute to these risks and impacts. As a result, the Company’s credit, operational and other risks are generally expected to increase until the pandemic subsides. In addition, the Company’s business operations continue to be at risk of adverse disruption if significant portionsdynamic nature of the ~~Company’s workforce are unable~~circumstances, it is difficult to ~~work effectively, including because of illness, quarantines, government actions, failures in systems or technology that disrupt work-from-home arrangements or other effects of~~predict the ~~pandemic, or if the Company is unable to keep branches or offices open, including because of risk of infection.~~

Governmental authorities have taken unprecedented measures to provide economic assistance to individual households and businesses, stabilize the markets and support economic growth. The success of these measures is not yet entirely known and those measures may not be sufficient to fully mitigate the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, some measures, such as a suspension of mortgage and other loan payments and foreclosures, may have a negative impact on the Company’s business, financial condition, liquidity, capital and results of operations. If such measures are not effective in mitigating the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on M&T’s business, and there is no guarantee that efforts by M&T to address the ~~Company’s borrowers,~~adverse impacts of the ~~Company~~COVID-19 pandemic will be effective.

Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, M&T may ~~also~~continue to experience ~~higher rates of default and increased credit losses in future periods. The Company also faces an increased risk of litigation and governmental and regulatory scrutiny~~adverse impacts to its business as a result of the ~~effects~~COVID-19 pandemic’s global economic impact, including reduced availability of ~~the COVID-19 pandemic~~credit, adverse impacts on ~~market and economic conditions and actions governmental authorities take in response to those conditions. Furthermore, various government programs such as the Paycheck Protection Program are complex~~liquidity and the ~~Company’s participation~~negative financial effects from any recession or depression that may ~~lead to litigation and governmental, regulatory and third party scrutiny, negative publicity and damage to its reputation.~~

The length of the pandemic and the efficacy of the extraordinary measures being put in place to address it are unknown. It is unknown when there will be a return to normal business activity and a subsiding of the economic stress associated with the pandemic. Prolonged continuation of the pandemic could worsen these risks and impacts. Until the pandemic subsides, the Company expects continued draws on lines of credit, reduced revenues in many of its fee-related businesses and increased customer and client defaults, including defaults in unsecured loans. Even after the pandemic subsides, the U.S. economy may experience a prolonged economic slowdown or recession, and M&T anticipates the Company’s businesses would be materially and adversely affected by a prolonged economic slowdown or recession. To the extent the pandemic adversely affects the Company’s business, financial condition, liquidity, capital or results of operations, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in M&T’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and M&T’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.

~~Standard~~	~~Description~~	~~Required date~~ ~~of adoption~~	~~Effect on consolidated financial statements~~
~~Standards Adopted in 2020~~
~~Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments~~	The amended guidance replaces the incurred loss model for determining the allowance for credit losses. The 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 in the income statement as an adjustment the to the provision for credit losses. In addition, the amended guidance requires credit losses relating to debt securities to be recorded through an allowance for credit losses.	~~January 1, 2020~~	The Company adopted the guidance on January 1, 2020. The Company’s approach for estimating current expected credit losses for loans includes utilizing macro-economic assumptions to project losses over a two-year reasonable and supportable forecast period. Subsequent to the forecast period, the Company reverts to longer term historical loss experience to estimate expected credit losses over the remaining contractual life. Based on portfolio composition, then current economic conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future conditions, the Company recognized an increase to the allowance for credit losses of $132 million upon adoption of the standard as of January 1, 2020 as compared with the allowance for credit losses recognized on its consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2019. The $132 million increase was recognized as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of January 1, 2020. The effect on the allowance for credit losses was primarily attributable to increases in reserves for residential mortgage loans and consumer loans, which generally have longer estimated lives as compared with commercial and commercial real estate loans. The adoption did not have a material effect on the allowance for credit losses for debt securities.
~~Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment~~	~~The amended guidance eliminates step 2 from the goodwill impairment test.~~	~~January 1, 2020~~	The Company adopted the amended guidance effective January 1, 2020 using a prospective transition method and will incorporate the guidance as necessary when circumstances arise for the guidance to be utilized. The Company does not expect the guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements, unless at some point in the future one of its reporting units were to fail step 1 of the goodwill impairment test.
