Summary

Summary of the 8-K filed October 16, 2025. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.

M&T Bank Corporation (NYSE: MTB) reported third quarter 2025 results on October 16, 2025, with net income of $792 milliona, or $4.82 of diluted earnings per common share, up from $716 million ($4.24 diluted) in the second quarter of 2025 and $721 million ($4.02 diluted) in the third quarter of 2024.

Net operating income, a non-GAAP measure that excludes after-tax intangible amortization, was $798 millionb, or $4.87 per diluted share. Taxable-equivalent net interest income rose $51 million from the prior quarter to $1,773 million, and net interest margin widened to 3.68% from 3.62%. Noninterest income increased to $752 million, helped by a $28 million earnout distribution related to the 2023 sale of the CIT business and a $20 million distribution from the investment in Bayview Lending Group LLC.

Noninterest expense rose to $1,363 millionc, driven by higher severance-related expense and an impairment of a renewable energy tax credit investment. Credit metrics were mixed. The provision for credit losses was $125 million, unchanged from the second quarter, while net charge-offs increased to $146 million, or .42% of average loans, from $108 million, or .32%.

Nonaccrual loans declined to $1.5 billiond from $1.6 billion, and the allowance for loan losses fell to 1.58% of total loans from 1.61%. The CET1 capital ratio was estimated at 10.99%, unchanged from the prior quarter.

M&T repurchased 2.1 million shares for $409 million, well below the $1.1 billion repurchased in the second quarter, and the quarterly dividend was increased from $1.35 to $1.50 per share. The filing furnishes a news release (Exhibit 99.1) and an investor presentation (Exhibit 99.2), which includes 2025 fourth-quarter outlook guidance: taxable-equivalent net interest income of $1.8 billion, plus or minus, a net interest margin of 3.70% plus or minus, fee income of $670 million to $690 million, GAAP expense of $1,350 million to $1,370 million, and net charge-offs of 40 to 50 basis points of average loans.
