Targeted loan reviews are periodically performed over segments of loan portfolios that may be experiencing heightened credit risk due to current or anticipated economic conditions. The intention of such reviews is to identify trends across such portfolios and inform portfolio risk limits and loss mitigation strategies. In 2023 and 2024, 2025, the Company conducted targeted loan reviews covering the majority of its investor-owned assessed loans to certain not-for-profit borrowers, government contractors and other commercial real estate portfolio, inclusive of construction loans, with a focus on criticized loans borrowers that may be impacted by immigration policies and loans with maturities enforcement, changes to government funding and reductions in the next twelve months. federal workforce. The primary source of repayment of these loans Company is typically tenant lease payments to the investor/borrower. Elevated vacancies impacting some property types and higher interest rates have contributed to lower current and anticipated future debt service coverage ratios, which have and also monitoring commercial borrowers in certain industry sectors that may continue to influence the ability of borrowers to make existing loan payments. Lower debt service coverage ratios and reduced commercial real estate values also impact the ability of borrowers, in particular those borrowers with loans secured be affected by office properties, to refinance their obligations at loan maturity. Despite these challenges, the ability of borrowers to service loans secured by certain investor-owned real estate, international trade policy changes, such as tariffs, including health services, hotel, retail and multifamily properties, modestly improved wholesale trade, manufacturing and construction companies. The Company has considered the information gathered in such reviews in the recent year. Criticized investor-owned commercial real estate loans totaled $6.0 billion or 23% assignment of such loans at December 31, 2024, improved from $8.8 billion or 27% of such loans at December 31, 2023.

estate, Loan balances are charged-off when it becomes evident that such balances are not fully collectable. For commercial and industrial loans and commercial real estate loans, charge-offs are recognized after an assessment by credit personnel of the capacity and willingness of the borrower to repay, the estimated value of any collateral, and any other potential sources of repayment. A charge-off is recognized when, after such assessment, it becomes evident that the loan balance is not fully collectable. For residential real estate loans, including home equity loans and lines of credit, the excess of the loan balances balance over the net realizable value of the property collateralizing the loan is charged-off when the loan becomes 150 days delinquent. Consumer That charge-off is based on recent indications of value from external parties that are generally obtained shortly after a loan becomes nonaccrual. When evaluating individual home equity loans and lines of credit for charge-off and for purposes of estimating losses in determining the allowance for loan losses, the Company gives consideration to the required repayment of any first lien positions related to collateral property. Other consumer loans are generally charged-off when the loans are 91 to 180 days past due, depending on whether the loan is collateralized and the status of repossession activities with respect to such collateral. 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.

Factors that influence the Company’s credit loss experience include: (i) overall economic conditions affecting businesses and consumers, generally; (ii) the impact of commercial and residential real estate values on loans to real estate builders and developers and other loans secured by such real estate; (iii) the concentration of commercial real estate loans in the Company’s loan portfolio, including construction loans, loans secured by office, retail, health services, hospitality and multifamily properties and loans secured by property in the New York City and certain other large metropolitan areas; (iv) the concentration of commercial and industrial loans to businesses in the Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic regions of the U.S.; (v) the repayment performance associated with first and second lien loans secured by residential real estate; and (vi) the size of the Company’s portfolio of loans to individual consumers, which historically have experienced higher net charge-offs as a percent of loans outstanding than loans to other types of borrowers. The Company’s credit risk and the performance of its lending portfolios may be affected by concentration in an industry, geography or asset type. As described further in this "Risk Factors" section, the Company’s credit risks may be increased by the impacts of elevated inflation, poor or recessionary economic conditions and financial market volatility.

In July 2025 the GENIUS Act, which establishes a regulatory framework for “payment stablecoins” and their issuers, was signed into law. Consumers and businesses may view payment stablecoins as a substitute for traditional bank deposits, which could result in reduced levels of deposits in the banking system. Depending on consumer and business interest in payment stablecoins, and the characteristics and utility of payment stablecoins, the passage of the GENIUS Act could result in increased competition with respect to M&T’s bank subsidiaries’ deposit products. However, the GENIUS Act requires the U.S. Treasury Department and federal and state regulators to issue regulations on numerous topics to interpret and implement the statute, so the effect of the GENIUS Act will depend on what those regulations provide.

Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis totaled $6.99 billion in 2025, an increase of $90 million from $6.90 billion in 2024. That increase reflects a 9 basis-point widening of the net interest margin driven by a decrease of 51 basis points in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by a 22 basis-point decline in the yield received on earning assets and a 20 basis-point reduction in the contribution of net interest-free funds. Contributing to lower yields on earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities in 2025 was the impact of the aforementioned FOMC interest rate reductions. The yields received on earning assets reflect a reduction of the negative impact from interest rate swap agreements entered into for interest rate risk management purposes on yields received on commercial and industrial and commercial real estate loans. Partially offsetting the overall decline in yields received on earning assets was an increase in yields received on investment securities from the deployment of liquidity into fixed rate investment securities throughout 2024 and 2025 that yielded higher rates than maturing investment securities.

Taxable-equivalent net interest income was $6.90 billion in 2024, compared with $7.17 billion in 2023. That decrease reflects a 25 basis-point narrowing of the net interest margin to 3.58% in 2024 from 3.83% in 2023 as higher rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities outpaced an increase in yields on earnings assets. The FOMC raised its federal funds target interest rate through multiple hikes that totaled 5.25% from March 2022 through July 2023 in response to inflationary pressures, before reducing that rate by a total of 1.00% in the last four months of 2024. During the recent year, the Company continued to adjust its funding sources in consideration of the changing interest rate environment as well as the competitive landscape for customer deposits. An increase in average interest-bearing liabilities in 2024 as compared with 2023 reflected a shift in customer deposits toward higher cost interest-bearing products and higher average levels of borrowings. Average interest-bearing deposits rose $9.5 billion, or 9%, and average borrowings rose $2.5 billion, or 19%, in 2024 as compared with 2023. The rates paid on average interest-bearing liabilities increased 57 basis points over the same period. The increase in average earning assets in 2024 reflects higher average interest-bearing deposits at the FRB of New York, purchases of investment securities and loan growth.

The Company's average balance sheets accompanied by the taxable-equivalent interest income and expense and the average rate on the Company's earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities are presented in Table 4.
