Summary
Summary of the 10-K filed February 19, 2010. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
M&T Bank Corporation (MTB), a New York-registered bank holding company headquartered in Buffalo, New York, reported consolidated total assets of $68.9 billiona, deposits of $47.4 billion and stockholders' equity of $7.8 billion at December 31, 2009.
Net income for 2009 was $380 millionb, or $2.89 per diluted common share, down from $556 million, or $5.01 per diluted share, in 2008. The decline was driven largely by a provision for credit losses that rose to $604 million from $412 million, net charge-offs of $514 million, and $138 million of pre-tax other-than-temporary impairment charges on privately issued CMOs and CDOs. Net operating income, a non-GAAP measure the company uses to exclude acquisition-related items, was $455 million, or $3.54 per diluted share.
The year was shaped by two acquisitions. M&T acquired Provident Bankshares Corporation on May 23, 2009 in a stock transaction, adding goodwill of $332 millionc and roughly $4.0 billion of acquired loans, and it assumed a Bradford Bank deposit franchise from the FDIC on August 28, 2009 under a loss-share arrangement. Net interest margin widened to 3.49% from 3.38%, largely because of lower rates paid on deposits and borrowings, and noninterest-bearing deposits grew sharply.
Nonaccrual loans rose to $1.33 billiond, or 2.56% of loans and leases, from $755 million a year earlier, with the most significant pressure in commercial real estate and residential builder and developer loans. Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c. held approximately 22.6% of M&T common stock at year-end 2009 and has board representation and governance rights under a 2003 reorganization agreement. The company remained a well-capitalized institution, and M&T and both of its bank subsidiaries met the well-capitalized standard at December 31, 2009.
M&T participated in the U.S. Treasury's TARP Capital Purchase Program, with $752 million of preferred stock outstanding related to the program. Dividends on common stock were $2.80 per share in both 2009 and 2008.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why did M&T's earnings decline sharply in 2009?
Diluted EPS was $2.89 versus $5.01 in 2008. The filing attributes the decline mainly to a provision for credit losses of $604 million (up from $412 million), net loan charge-offs of $514 million, and $138 million of pre-tax other-than-temporary impairment charges. FDIC assessments rose to $97 million from $7 million, and merger-related expenses were $89 million.
What were the main effects of the Provident and Bradford acquisitions?
Provident Bankshares, acquired May 23, 2009 for a purchase price of about $274 million, contributed assets of $6.3 billion, including $4.0 billion of loans, and added $332 million of goodwill. Bradford Bank, acquired from the FDIC on August 28, 2009, contributed about $469 million of assets and produced an after-tax gain of $18 million ($29 million pre-tax).
