05—Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What drove the increase in net income compared with the first quarter of 2024?
Net income rose $53 million to $584 million. The filing attributes this to a 14 basis-point widening of the net interest margin as deposit and borrowing costs fell faster than asset yields, a $70 million lower provision for credit losses, and a $31 million increase in other income from mortgage banking, service charges and trust income. These gains were partly offset by a $19 million increase in other expense.
How did asset quality trend in the quarter?
Asset quality improved. Nonaccrual loans declined $150 million from December 31, 2024 to $1.54 billion, with commercial real estate nonaccrual loans down $113 million. Net charge-offs were $114 million, or 0.34% of average loans, compared with 0.42% in the first quarter of 2024. Loans 30-89 days past due fell to $1.45 billion from $1.66 billion at year-end 2024.
What did M&T do with capital in the first quarter?
M&T repurchased 3,415,303 common shares at an average cost of $192.06, totaling $662 million including excise tax. It paid common dividends of $1.35 per share, totaling $222 million, and preferred dividends of $36 million. The Board authorized a new $4.0 billion repurchase program on January 22, 2025, replacing the prior program.
What were the key risks flagged in the filing?
The filing highlights commercial real estate exposure, with criticized investor-owned CRE loans at $5.4 billion, and office-sector reserves at 4.37% of allocated allowance. It also cites geopolitical uncertainty and potential changes to trade policy and tariffs as factors in macroeconomic forecasts. Under a downside economic scenario, modeled credit losses would increase by $275 million, while an upside scenario would decrease them by $135 million.
