NOTES TO FINANCIALFINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.Significant accounting policies

1. Significant accounting policies

The consolidated 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, 20152016 (“20152016 Annual Report”)., except that effective January 2017 the Company adopted amended accounting guidance that is discussed in note 16 herein.  The most significant of those changes related to the accounting for excess tax benefits or deficiencies associated with share-based compensation whereby beginning in 2017 those amounts are recognized in income tax expense.  Previously, tax effects resulting from changes in M&T’s share price subsequent to the grant date were recorded through shareholders’ equity.  The adoption of this new accounting guidance resulted in a reduction of income tax expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 of $18 million, or $.12 of diluted earnings per common share. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been made and were all of a normal recurring nature.

 

2.Acquisition

On November 1, 2015, M&T completed2. Acquisitions

In connection with the acquisition of Hudson City Bancorp, Inc. (“Hudson City”), headquartered in Paramus, New Jersey. On that date, Hudson City Savings Bank, the banking subsidiary of Hudson City, was merged into M&T Bank, a wholly owned banking subsidiary of M&T. Hudson City Savings Bank operated 135 banking offices in New Jersey, Connecticut and New York at the date of acquisition. The results of operations acquired in the Hudson City transaction have been included in the Company’s financial results since on November 1, 2015. After application of the election, allocation and proration procedures contained in the merger agreement with Hudson City, M&T paid $2.1 billion in cash and issued 25,953,950 shares of M&T common stock in exchange for Hudson City shares outstanding at the time of the acquisition. The purchase price was approximately $5.2 billion based on the cash paid to Hudson City shareholders, the fair value of M&T stock exchanged and the estimated fair value of Hudson City stock awards converted into M&T stock awards. The acquisition of Hudson City expanded the Company’s presence in New Jersey, Connecticut and New York, and management expects that the Company will benefit from greater geographic diversity and the advantages of scale associated with a larger company.

The Hudson City transaction has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, assets acquired, liabilities assumed and consideration exchanged were recorded at estimated fair value on the acquisition date. The consideration paid for Hudson City’s common equity and the amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date were as follows:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED

2.Acquisitions, continued

In early November 2015 the Company sold $5.8 billion of investment securities obtained in the acquisition and repaid $10.6 billion of borrowings assumed in the transaction. In connection with the acquisition, the Company recorded approximately $1.1 billion of goodwill and $132 million of core deposit intangible. The core deposit intangible asset is being amortized over a period of 7 years using an accelerated method.

The following table presents certain pro forma information as if Hudson City had been included in the Company’s results of operations in the first quarter of 2015. These results combine the historical results of Hudson City into the Company’s consolidated statement of income and, while certain adjustments were made for the estimated impact of certain fair valuation adjustments and other acquisition-related activity, they are not indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisition taken place as indicated. In particular, no adjustments have been made to eliminate the impact of gains on securities transactions of $7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015 that may not have been recognized had the investment securities been recorded at fair value. Additionally, the Company expects to achieve operating cost savings and other business synergies as a result of the acquisition which are not reflected in the pro forma amounts that follow.

In connection with the Hudson City acquisition, the Company incurred merger-related expenses related to systems conversions and other costs of integrating and conforming acquired operations with and into the Company. Those expenses consisted largely of professional services and other temporary help fees associated with preparing for systems conversions and/or integration of operations; costs related to termination of existing contractual arrangements for various services; initial marketing and promotion expenses designed to introduce M&T Bank to its new customers; severance (for former Hudson City employees); travel costs; and other costs of completing the transaction and commencing operations in new markets and offices. The Company expects that there will be additional merger-related expenses in 2016.

Despite the above allocation in the preceding table, the allowance for credit losses is general in nature and is available to absorb losses from any loan or lease type.

In establishing the allowance for credit losses, the Company estimates losses attributable to specific troubled credits identified through both normal and detailed or intensified credit review processes and also estimates losses inherent in other loans and leases 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. The amounts of 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 and by applying loss factors to groups of loan balances based on loan type and management’s classification of such loans under the Company’s loan grading system. Measurement of the specific loss components is typically based on expected future cash flows, collateral values and other factors that may impact the borrower’s ability to pay. In determining the allowance for credit losses, the Company utilizes a loan grading system which is applied to commercial and commercial real estate credits on an individual loan basis. Loan officers are responsible for continually assigning grades to these loans based on standards outlined in the Company’s Credit Policy. Internal loan grades are also monitored by the Company’s loancredit review department to ensure consistency and strict adherence to the prescribed standards. Loan grades are assigned loss component factors that reflect the Company’s loss estimate for each group of loans and leases. Factors considered in assigning loan grades and loss component factors 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; levels of and trends in portfolio charge-offs and recoveries; levels of and trends in portfolio delinquencies and impaired loans; changes in the risk profile of specific portfolios; trends in volume and terms of loans; effects of changes in credit concentrations; and observed trends and practices in the banking industry. As updated appraisals are obtained on individual loans or other events in the market place indicate that collateral values have significantly changed, individual loan grades are adjusted as appropriate. Changes in other factors cited may also lead to loan grade changes at any time.  Except for consumer loans and residential real estate loans that are considered smaller balance homogenous loans and acquired loans that are evaluated on an aggregated basis, the Company considers a loan to be impaired for purposes of applying GAAP when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement or the loan is delinquent 90 days.  Regardless of loan type, the

Company considers a loan to be impaired if it qualifies as a troubled debt restructuring. 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 accordance with the previously described policies, the Company utilizes a loan grading system that is applied to all commercial loans and commercial real estate loans.  Loan grades are utilized to differentiate risk within the portfolio and consider the expectations of default for each loan.  Commercial loans and commercial real estate 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.  All largerlarger- balance criticized commercial loans and commercial real estate loans are individually reviewed by centralized loan reviewcredit personnel each quarter to determine the appropriateness of the assigned loan grade, including whether the loan should be reported as accruing or nonaccruing.  Smaller balanceSmaller-balance criticized loans are analyzed by business line risk management areas to ensure proper loan grade classification.  Furthermore, criticized nonaccrual commercial loans and commercial real estate loans are considered impaired and, as a result, specific loss allowances on such loans are established within the allowance for credit losses to the extent appropriate in each individual instance.

In determining the allowance for credit losses, residential real estate loans and consumer loans are generally evaluated collectively after considering such factors as payment performance and recent loss experience and trends, which are mainly driven by current collateral values in the market place as well as the amount of loan defaults. Loss rates on such loans are determined by reference to recent charge-off history and are evaluated (and adjusted if deemed appropriate) through consideration of other factors including near-term forecasted loss estimates developed by the Company’s Credit Department.credit department. In arriving at such forecasts, the Company considers the current estimated fair value of its collateral based on geographical adjustments for home price depreciation/appreciation and overall borrower repayment performance. With regard to collateral values, the realizability of such values by the Company contemplates repayment of any first lien position prior to recovering amounts on a second lien position. However, residential real estate loans and outstanding balances of home equity loans and lines of credit that are more than 150 days past due are generally evaluated for collectibility on a loan-by-loan basis giving consideration to estimated collateral values. The carrying value of residential real estate loans and home equity loans and lines of credit for which a partial charge-off has been recognized aggregated $52totaled $43 million and $24$30 million, respectively, at March 31, 20162017 and $55$44 million and $21$32 million, respectively, at December 31, 2015.2016. Residential real estate loans and home equity loans and lines of credit that were more than 150 days past due but did not require a partial charge-off because the net realizable value of the collateral exceeded the outstanding customer balance totaled $20were $18 million and $32$39 million, respectively, at March 31, 20162017 and $20$16 million and $28$39 million, respectively, at December 31, 2015.2016.

The Company also measures additional losses for purchased impaired loans when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all cash flows expected at acquisition plus additional cash flows expected to be collected arising from changes in estimates after acquisition.  The determination of the allocated portion of the allowance for credit losses is very subjective.  Given that inherent subjectivity and potential imprecision involved in determining the allocated portion of the allowance for credit losses, the Company also provides an inherent unallocated portion of the allowance.  The unallocated portion of the allowance is intended to recognize probable losses that are not otherwise identifiable and includes management’s subjective determination of amounts necessary to provide for the possible use of imprecise estimates in determining the allocated portion of the allowance.  Therefore, the level of the unallocated portion of the allowance is primarily reflective of the inherent imprecision in the various calculations used in determining the allocated portion of the allowance for credit losses.  Other factors

that could also lead to changes in the unallocated portion include the effects of expansion into new markets for which the Company does not have the same degree of familiarity and experience regarding portfolio performance in changing market conditions, the introduction of new loan and lease product types, and other risks associated with the Company’s loan portfolio that may not be specifically identifiable.

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.

Troubled debt restructurings are considered to be impaired loans and for purposes of establishing the allowance for credit losses 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 March 31, 20162017 and 20152016 and for which there was a subsequent payment default during the three-month periods ended March  31, 20162017 and 2015,2016, respectively, were not material.

The amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the Company was $169totaled $112 million and $172$129 million at March 31, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, respectively.  There were $309$538 million and $315$506 million at March 31, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, respectively, ofin loans secured by residential real estate that were in the process of foreclosure. Of all loans in the process of foreclosure at March 31, 2017, approximately 53% were classified as purchased impaired and 20% were government guaranteed.

5.Borrowings

M&T had $515$517 million of fixed and variable rate junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures (“("Junior Subordinated Debentures”Debentures") outstanding at March 31, 20162017 that are held by various trusts that were issued in connection with the issuance by those trusts of preferred capital securities (“("Capital Securities”Securities") and common securities (“("Common Securities”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’strust'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, beginning in 2016 none of the securities are includable in M&T’s Tier 1 regulatory capital, but do qualify for inclusion in 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. On April 15, 2015, M&T redeemed all of the issued and outstanding Capital Securities issued by M&T Capital Trust I, M&T Capital Trust II and M&T Capital Trust III, and the related Junior Subordinated Debentures held by those respective trusts. In the aggregate, $323 million of Junior Subordinated Debentures were redeemed.

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, and 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, and collateral or settlement provisions, the Company believes that the credit risk inherent in these contracts was not significant as of March 31, 2016.2017.

The net effect of interest rate swap agreements was to increase net interest income by $10$4 million and $11$10 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 20162017 and 2015,2016, respectively.

The Company utilizes commitments to sell residential and commercial real estate loans to hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of real estate loans held for sale.  Such commitments have generally been designated as fair value hedges. The Company also utilizes commitments to sell real estate loans to offset the exposure to changes in fair value of certain commitments to originate real estate loans for sale.

Derivative financial instruments used for trading account purposes included interest rate contracts, foreign exchange and other option contracts, foreign exchange forward and spot contracts, and financial futures. Interest rate contracts entered into for trading account purposes had notional values of $18.9$22.3 billion and $18.4$21.6 billion at March 31, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, respectively.  The notional amounts of foreign currency and other option and futures contracts entered into for trading account purposes aggregated $2.8 billion$496 million and $1.6 billion$471 million at March 31, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, 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 $22$24 million and $18$28 million at March 31, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, 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, which are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements, was $98$26 million and $59$34 million at March 31, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, respectively.  After consideration of such netting arrangements, the net liability positions with counterparties aggregated $95$25 million and $55$30 million at March 31, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, respectively.  The Company was required to post collateral relating to those positions of $84$23 million and $52$27 million at March 31, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, 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 toof 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 March 31, 20162017 was $19less than $1 million, for which the Company had postedwas not required to post collateral of $13 million in the normal course of business.  If the credit risk-related contingent features had been triggered on March 31, 2016, the maximum amount of additional collateral2017, the Company would not have been required to post with counterparties was $6 million.any collateral to counterparties.

The aggregate fair value of derivative financial instruments in an asset position, which are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements, was $24$14 million and $23$15 million at March 31, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, respectively.  After consideration of such netting arrangements, the net asset positions with counterparties aggregated $21$13 million and $19$11 million at March 31, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, respectively.  Counterparties posted collateral relating to those positions of $21$12 million and $22$9 million at March 31, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, respectively.  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 additional collateral for(“variation margin”) depending on the contracts being in a net asset or liability position. The amount of initial margin posted by the Company was $83 million and $111 million at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.  Effective January 2017, certain clearinghouse exchanges revised their rules to re-characterize required collateral postings for variation margin as legal settlements of those positions.  As a result, the fair value asset and liability amounts of derivative contracts at March 31, 2017 have been reduced by contractual settlements of $112 million and $25 million, respectively.  Variation margin on derivative contracts not affected by the rule changes continue to represent collateral posted or received by the Company.  For those contracts, the net fair values of derivative financial instruments cleared through clearinghouses at March 31, 2016for which variation margin is required was a net liabilityasset position of $156$1 million and at December 31, 2015 was a net liability position of $50 million. Collateral posted with clearinghouses was $204 million and $99$63 million at March 31, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, respectively. Collateral posted by the clearinghouses associated with that net asset position was $1 million and $81 million at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

In accordance with GAAP, at December 31, 2015 the Company determined that it was the primary beneficiary of a residential mortgage loan securitization trust considering its role as servicer and its retained subordinated interests in the trust. As a result, the Company had included the one-to-four family residential mortgage loans that were included in the trust in its consolidated financial statements. In the first quarter of 2016, the securitization trust was terminated as the Company exercised its right to purchase the underlying mortgage loans pursuant to the clean-up call provisions of the trust. At December 31, 2015, the carrying value of the loans in the securitization trust was $81 million. The outstanding principal amount of mortgage-backed securities issued by the qualified special purpose trust that was held by parties unrelated to the Company at December 31, 2015 was $13 million.asset securitizations

As described in note 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 March 31, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, the Company included the junior subordinated debentures as “long-term borrowings” in its consolidated balance sheet and recognized $24 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 5.

The Company has invested as a limited partner in various partnerships that collectively had total assets of approximately $1.1$1.0 billion at each of March 31, 20162017 and December 31, 2015.2016. 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 maximum exposure to loss of its investments in such partnerships was $290$316 million, including $80$114 million of unfunded commitments, at March 31, 20162017 and $295$294 million, including $78$102 million of unfunded commitments, at December 31, 2015.2016.  Contingent commitments to provide additional capital contributions to these partnerships were not material at March 31, 2016.2017. The Company has not provided financial or other support to the partnerships that was not contractually required.  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 a 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 cost 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 $11$13 million and $10$11 million of its investments in qualified affordable housing projects to income tax expense during the three-month periods ended March 31, 20162017 and 2015,2016, respectively, and recognized $16 million and $14 million of tax credits and other tax benefits during each of 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. Such waivers were not material during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.fees as a result of market conditions.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED

12. Fair value measurements

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 March 31, 2016.2017.

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.

Level 1 Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2 Valuation is determined from quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active or by model-based techniques in which all significant inputs are observable in the market.

- 34 -


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED

12.Fair value measurements, continued

Level 3 Valuation is derived from model-based and other techniques in which at least one significant input is unobservable and which may be based on the Company’sCompany's own estimates about the assumptions that market participants would use to value the 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’sCompany's assets and liabilities that are measured on a recurring basis at estimated fair value.

Trading account assets and liabilities

Trading account assets and liabilities consist primarily of interest rate swap agreements and foreign exchange contracts with customers who require such services with offsetting positions with third parties to minimize the Company’sCompany'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.

Investment securities available for sale

The majority of the Company’sCompany'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.

Included in collateralized debt obligations are securities backed by trust preferred securities issued by financial institutions and other entities. The Company could not obtain pricing indications for many of these securities from its two primary independent pricing sources. The Company, therefore, performed internal modeling to estimate the cash flows and fair value of its portfolio of securities backed by trust preferred securities at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. The modeling techniques included estimating cash flows using bond-specific assumptions about future collateral defaults and related loss severities. The resulting cash flows were then discounted by reference to market yields observed in the single-name trust preferred securities market. In determining a market yield applicable to the estimated cash flows, a margin over LIBOR ranging from 4% to 10%, with a weighted-average of 8%, was used. Significant unobservable inputs used in the determination of estimated fair value of collateralized debt obligations are included in the accompanying table of significant unobservable inputs to Level 3 measurements. At March 31, 2016, the total amortized cost and fair value of securities backed by trust preferred securities issued by financial institutions and other entities were $28 million and $45 million, respectively, and at December 31, 2015 were $28 million and $47 million, respectively. Privately issued mortgage-backed securities and securities backed by trust preferred securities issued by financial institutions and other entities constituted all of the available-for-sale investment securities classified as Level 3 valuations.

The Company ensures an appropriate control framework is in place over the valuation processes and techniques used for significant Level 3 fair12. Fair value measurements. Internal pricing models used for significant valuation measurements, have generally been subjected to validation procedures including testing of mathematical constructs, review of valuation methodology and significant assumptions used.continued

Real estate loans held for sale

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’sCompany'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.

Interest rate swap agreements used for interest rate risk management

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.

12. Fair value measurements, continued

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

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 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 generally 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 considering specific borrower facts and circumstances and the experience of credit personnel in their dealings with similar borrower collateral liquidations.  Such discounts were generally in the range of 10%15% to 90% at March 31, 2016.2017.  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 the related non-recurringnonrecurring 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.  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 $226$210 million at March 31, 20162017 ($12788 million and $99$122 million of which were classified as Level 2 and Level 3, respectively), $210$293 million at December 31, 20152016 ($106153 million and $104$140 million of which were classified as Level 2 and Level 3, respectively) and $101$226 million at March 31, 20152016 ($67127 million and $34$99 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 March 31, 20162017 and 20152016 were decreases of $27$42 million and $8$27 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 20162017 and 2015,March 31, 2016, respectively.

Assets taken in foreclosure of defaulted loans

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 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 $62$32 million and $11$62 million at March 31, 20162017 and March 31, 2015,2016, respectively.  Changes in fair value recognized for those foreclosed assets held by the Company were not material during the three-month periods ended March 31, 20162017 and 2015.2016.

Sensitivity of fair value measurements to changes in unobservable inputs

An increase (decrease) in the probability of default and loss severity for collateralized debt securities would generally result in a lower (higher) fair value measurement.

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 one-to-four family residential 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 following assumptions, methods and calculations were used in determining the estimated fair value of financial instruments not measured at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet.

Cash and cash equivalents, interest-bearing deposits at banks, deposits at Cayman Islands office, short-term borrowings, accrued interest receivable and accrued interest payable

Due to the nature of cash and cash equivalents and the near maturity of interest-bearing deposits at banks, deposits at Cayman Islands office, short-term borrowings, accrued interest receivable and accrued interest payable, the Company estimated that the carrying amount of such instruments approximated estimated fair value.

Investment securities

Estimated fair values of investments in readily marketable securities were generally based on quoted market prices. Investment securities that were not readily marketable were assigned amounts based on estimates provided by outside parties or modeling techniques that relied upon discounted calculations of projected cash flows or, in the case of other investment securities, which include capital stock of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, at an amount equal to the carrying amount.

Loans and leases

In general, discount rates used to calculate values for loan products were based on the Company’s pricing at the respective period end. A higher discount rate was assumed with respect to estimated cash flows associated with nonaccrual loans. Projected loan cash flows were adjusted for estimated credit losses. However, such estimates made by the Company may not be indicative of assumptions and adjustments that a purchaser of the Company’s loans and leases would seek.

Deposits

Pursuant to GAAP, the estimated fair value ascribed to noninterest-bearing deposits, savings deposits and interest-checking deposits must be established at carrying value because of the customers’ ability to withdraw funds immediately. Time deposit accounts are required to be revalued based upon prevailing market interest rates for similar maturity instruments. As a result, amounts assigned to time deposits were based on discounted cash flow calculations using prevailing market interest rates based on the Company’s pricing at the respective date for deposits with comparable remaining terms to maturity.

The Company believes that deposit accounts have a value greater than that prescribed by GAAP. The Company feels, however, that the value associated with these deposits is greatly influenced by characteristics of the buyer, such as the ability to reduce the costs of servicing the deposits and deposit attrition which often occurs following an acquisition.

Long-term borrowings

The amounts assigned to long-term borrowings were based on quoted market prices, when available, or were based on discounted cash flow calculations using prevailing market interest rates for borrowings of similar terms and credit risk.

Other commitments and contingencies

As described in note 13, in the normal course of business, various commitments and contingent liabilities are outstanding, such as loan commitments, credit guarantees and letters of credit. The Company’s pricing of such financial instruments is based largely on credit quality and relationship, probability of funding and other requirements. Loan commitments often have fixed expiration dates and contain termination and other clauses which provide for relief from funding in the event of significant deterioration in the credit quality of the customer. The rates and terms of the Company’s loan commitments, credit guarantees and letters of credit are competitive with other financial institutions operating in markets served by the Company. The Company believes that the carrying amounts, which are included in other liabilities, are reasonable estimates of the fair value of these financial instruments.

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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED

12.Fair value measurements, continued

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.

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.  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’smanagement's assessment of the customer’scustomer'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’sCompany's involvement in the Fannie Mae Delegated Underwriting and Servicing program.  The Company’sCompany's maximum credit risk for recourse associated with loans sold under this program totaled approximately $2.6$3.0 billion and $2.5$2.8 billion at March 31, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, respectively.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED

13. Commitments and contingencies, continued

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 also has commitments under long-term operating leases.

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. Subject to the outcome of the matter discussed in the following paragraph, atAt March 31, 2016, management2017 the Company believes that any further liability arising out of the Company’sits obligation to loan purchasers iswas not material to the Company’s consolidated financial position.

The Company is the subject of an investigation by government agencies relating to the origination of Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”) insured residential home loans and residential home loans sold to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. A number of other U.S. financial institutions have announced similar investigations. Regarding FHA loans, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) Office of Inspector General and the Department of Justice (collectively, the “Government”) are investigating whether the Company complied with underwriting guidelines concerning certain loans where HUD paid FHA insurance claims. The Company is fully cooperating with the investigation. The Government has advised the Company that based upon its review of a sample of loans for which an FHA insurance claim was paid by HUD, some of the loans do not meet underwriting guidelines. The Company, based on its own review of the sample, does not agree with the sampling methodology and loan analysis employed by the Government. Regarding loans originated by the Company and sold to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, the investigation concerns whether the mortgages sold to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae comply with applicable underwriting guidelines. The Company is also cooperating with that portion of the investigation. The investigation could lead to claims by the Government under the False Claims Act and the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989, which allow treble and other special damages substantially in excess of actual losses. Remedies in these proceedings or settlements may include restitution, fines, penalties, or alterations in the Company’s business practices. The Company and the Government continue settlement discussions regarding the investigation and although progress has been made, the parties have not yet reached a definitive agreement. Based upon the current status of these negotiations, management expects that this potential settlement should not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations in future periods.

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 $40 million.  Although the Company does not believe that the outcome of pending litigations 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.

 

14.Segment information

14. Segment information

Reportable segments have been determined based upon the Company’sCompany'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’sCompany's segments was compiled utilizing the accounting policies described in note 22 of Notes to Financial Statements in the 20152016 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 segment results aresegments 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.  Effective July 1, 2015,As disclosed in the 2016 Annual Report, during 2016 the Company changedrevised its internal profitability reportingfunds transfer pricing allocation related to move a builderborrowings and developer lending unit from the Residential Mortgage Banking segment to the Commercial Real Estate segment.residential real estate loans obtained in the acquisition of Hudson City, retroactive to 2015.  Accordingly, financial information presented herein for the three-month period

As also described in note 22 in the 20152016 Annual Report, neither goodwill nor core deposit and other intangible assets (and the amortization charges associated with such assets) resulting from acquisitions of financial institutions have been allocated to the Company’sCompany's reportable segments, but are included in the “All Other” category.  The Company does, however, assign such intangible assets to business units for purposes of testing for impairment.

16.Sale of trust accounts

In April 2015,16. Recent accounting developments

Effective January 1, 2017, the Company soldadopted amended accounting guidance for share-based transactions.  The most significant aspect of the trade processing business withinamended guidance that affects the retirement services divisionCompany requires that all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies be recognized in income tax expense in the income statement and that such amounts be recognized in the period in which the tax deduction arises or in the period in which an expiration of its Institutional Client Services business. That salean award occurs.  The adoption of this guidance resulted in an after-tax gain$18 million reduction of $23 million ($45 million pre-tax) that reflectedincome tax expense for the allocation of approximately $11 million of previously recorded goodwill to the divested business. Revenues of the sold business had been included in “trust income” and were $9 million during the three monthsquarter ended March 31, 2015. After considering2017 that under previous accounting guidance would have been recognized directly in shareholders’ equity.

Effective January 2017, the Company also adopted amended accounting guidance for the transition to the equity method of accounting.  The amended guidance eliminates the requirement that when an investment qualifies for use of the equity method as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence, an investor must adjust the investment, results of operations, and retained earnings retroactively on a step-by-step basis as if the equity method has been in effect during all previous periods that the investment had been held.  Instead, the amended guidance requires the investor to adopt the equity method of accounting as of the date the investment first qualifies for such accounting.  The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In January 2017, the Company adopted two amendments to the accounting guidance for derivatives and hedging.  The first amendment clarifies that a change in the counterparty to a derivative instrument that has been designated as the hedging instrument does not, in and of itself, require dedesignation of that hedging relationship provided that all other hedge accounting criteria continue to be met.  The second amendment clarifies the requirements for assessing whether contingent call (put) options that can accelerate the payment of principal on debt instruments are clearly and closely related expenses,to their debt hosts.  An entity performing the assessment is required to assess the embedded call (put) options solely in accordance with a four-step decision sequence and no longer has to assess whether the event that triggers the ability to exercise the option is related to interest rates or credit risks.  The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued amended guidance requiring the premium on callable debt securities held at a premium to be amortized to the earliest call date.  The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity.  

The guidance is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted.  If adopted in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period.  The amendments should be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company does not expect the guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued amended guidance requiring the service cost component of the net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost to be reported in the same line item or items in the income statement as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period (except for the amount being capitalized, if appropriate).  The amendments also require disclosure of the line item(s) used in the income statement to present the components other than the service cost component if the other components are not presented in a separate line item or items in the income statement. The guidance is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, using a retrospective transition method for the presentation of the service cost and other components of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost in the income statement.  The capitalization of the service cost component of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost would be applied using a prospective transition method.  The amendments allow for a practical expedient that permits the use of the amounts disclosed in the Company’s pension and other postretirement benefit plan note for the prior comparative periods as the estimation basis for applying the retrospective presentation requirements.  The Company is evaluating the impact the guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued amended guidance eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under the amendments to the guidance, an entity should perform its goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The loss recognized, however, should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable.  The guidance is effective for annual periods or any interim goodwill impairment tests beginning after December 15, 2019 using a prospective transition method. Early adoption is permitted. 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.

In January 2017, the FASB issued amended guidance clarifying the definition of a business for purposes of evaluating whether transactions would be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The amendments provide a screen to determine when a set of assets and activities (collectively referred to as a “set”) is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar assets, the set is not a business. If the screen is not met, the amendments (1) require that to be considered a business, a set must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output, and (2) remove the evaluation of whether a market participant could replace missing elements. The guidance is effective for annual

periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 using a prospective  transition method. The Company does not expect the guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance for the presentation of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows.  The guidance requires that restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows.  In addition, when cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents are presented in more than one line item within the statement of financial position, the line items and amounts must be presented on the face of the statement of cash flows or disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.  Information about the nature of restrictions on an entity’s cash and cash equivalents must also be disclosed.  The guidance is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, using a retrospective transition method.  The Company is evaluating the impact the guidance may have on the presentation of its consolidated statement of cash flows.

In August 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance for how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows.  The guidance addresses the following eight specific cash flow issues: 1) cash payments for debt extinguishment costs should be classified as cash outflows for financing activities; 2) for zero-coupon debt instruments, the portion of the cash payment attributable to the accreted interest should be classified as a cash outflow for operating activities; 3) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination should be classified based on the timing of the payment; 4) cash proceeds received from the settlement of insurance claims should be classified on the basis of the related insurance coverage; 5)  cash proceeds received from the settlement of corporate-owned and bank-owned life insurance policies should be classified as cash inflows from investing activities; 6) when the equity method is applied, an accounting policy election should be made to classify distributions received using either the cumulative earnings approach or the nature of the distribution approach; 7) cash receipts from payments on a transferor’s beneficial interests obtained in a securitization of financial assets should be classified as cash inflows from investing activities; and 8) the classification of cash receipts and payments that was sold was not materialhave aspects of more than one class of cash flows should be determined by applying specific guidance in GAAP.  The guidance is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017.  The Company is evaluating the impact the guidance may have on the presentation within its consolidated statement of cash flows.

In June 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance for the measurement of credit losses on certain financial assets. The amended 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 consolidated resultspurchase price at acquisition rather than being reported as an expense.  Subsequent changes in the allowance will be recorded through the income statement as an expense adjustment.  In addition, the amended guidance requires credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities to be recorded through an allowance for credit losses. The calculation of operationscredit losses for available-for-sale securities will be similar to how it is determined under existing guidance.  The guidance is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after

December 15, 2019.  The Company is assessing the new guidance to determine what modifications to existing credit estimation processes may be required.  The Company expects that the new guidance will result in an increase in its allowance for credit losses as a result of considering credit losses over the expected life of its loan portfolios. Increases in the level of the allowance for credit losses will also reflect new requirements to include the nonaccretable principal difference on purchased credit impaired loans and estimated credit losses on investment securities classified as held-to-maturity, if any.  The Company duringis still evaluating the extent of the increase to the allowance for credit losses and the impact to its financial statements. 

In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance related to the accounting for leases.  The core principle of the guidance is that all leases create an asset and a liability for the lessee and, therefore, lease assets and lease liabilities should be recognized in the balance sheet.  Lease assets will be recognized as a right-of-use asset and lease liabilities will be recognized as a liability to make lease payments.  While the guidance requires all leases to be recognized in the balance sheet, there continues to be a differentiation between finance leases and operating leases for purposes of income statement recognition and cash flow statement presentation.  For finance leases, interest on the lease liability and amortization of the right-of-use asset will be recognized separately in the statement of income.  Repayments of principal on those lease liabilities will be classified within financing activities and payments of interest on the lease liability will be classified within operating activities in the statement of cash flows.  For operating leases, a single lease cost is recognized in the statement of income and allocated over the lease term, generally on a straight-line basis.  All cash payments are presented within operating activities in the statement of cash flows.  The accounting applied by lessors is largely unchanged from existing GAAP, however, the guidance eliminates the accounting model for leveraged leases for leases that commence after the effective date of the guidance.  The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  The Company occupies certain banking offices and uses certain equipment under noncancelable operating lease agreements, which currently are not reflected in its consolidated balance sheet.  Upon adoption of the guidance, the Company expects to report increased assets and increased liabilities as a result of recognizing right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on its consolidated balance sheet. The Company was committed to $467  million of minimum lease payments under noncancelable operating lease agreements at December 31, 2016.  The Company does not expect the new guidance will have a material impact to its consolidated statement of income.

In January 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance related to recognition and measurement of financial assets and liabilities. The amended guidance requires that equity investments (excluding those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. An entity can elect to measure equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values at cost less impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar investment of the same issuer. The impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values is simplified by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment. When a qualitative assessment indicates impairment exists, an entity is required to measure the investment at fair value. The guidance eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet. Further, the guidance requires public entities to use the exit price when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes. The guidance also requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income, a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure a liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option. Separate presentation of financial assets and liabilities by measurement category and type of instrument on the balance sheet or accompanying notes to the financial statements is required. The guidance also clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. This guidance is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is still evaluating the impact the guidance could

have on its consolidated financial statements. The Company does hold certain equity securities in its available-for-sale portfolio.  Upon adoption of this guidance, fair value changes in such equity securities will be recognized in the consolidated statement of income as opposed to accumulated other comprehensive income where they are recognized under current accounting guidance.

In May 2014, the FASB issued amended accounting and disclosure guidance for revenue from contracts with customers. The core principle of the accounting guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The guidance also specifies the accounting for some costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer. The amended disclosure guidance requires sufficient information to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The amended guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. The guidance should be applied either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying this guidance recognized at the date of initial application (the “modified retrospective approach”).  At present, the Company expects to adopt the revenue recognition guidance in the first quarter of 2015.2018 using the modified retrospective approach.  A significant amount of the Company’s revenues are derived from net interest income on financial assets and liabilities, which are excluded from the scope of the amended guidance.  With respect to noninterest income, the Company has identified revenue streams within the scope of the guidance, and is performing an evaluation of the underlying revenue contracts.  To date, the Company has not yet identified any material changes in the timing of revenue recognition when considering the amended accounting guidance, however, the Company’s implementation efforts are ongoing and such assessments may change prior to the January 1, 2018 implementation date.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Overview

Net income for M&T Bank Corporation (“M&T”) recorded net income in the first quarter of 2016 was2017 of $349 million or $2.12 of diluted earnings per common share, compared with $299 million or $1.73 of diluted earnings per common share compared with $242 million or $1.65in the initial quarter of 2016.  During the final 2016 quarter, net income and diluted earnings per common share in the initial 2015 quarter. During the fourth quarter of 2015, net income totaled $271were $331 million or $1.65 of diluted earnings per common share.and $1.98, respectively.  Basic earnings per common share were $1.74$2.13 in the recent quarter, compared with $1.66$1.74 and $1.65$1.98 in the first and fourth quarters of 2015,2016, respectively.  The annualized rate of return on average total assets for M&T and its consolidated subsidiaries (“the Company”) in the initial 20162017 quarter was .97%1.15%, compared with 1.02%.97% in the year-earliercorresponding quarter of 2016 and .93%1.05% in the fourth quarter of 2015.final 2016 quarter.  The annualized rate of return on average common shareholders’ equity was 8.89% in the recent quarter, compared with 7.44% in the first three months of 2016, compared with 7.99%year-earlier quarter and 7.22%8.13% in the fourth quarter of 2016.

During the first and fourth quartersquarter of 2015, respectively.

On November 1, 2015,2017, M&T completed itsadopted new accounting guidance for share-based transactions.  That guidance requires that all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies associated with share-based compensation be recognized in income tax expense in the income statement.  Previously, tax effects resulting from changes in M&T’s share price subsequent to the grant date were recorded through shareholders’ equity at the time of vesting or exercise.  The adoption of the amended accounting guidance resulted in an $18 million reduction of income tax expense in the initial 2017 quarter, or $.12 of diluted earnings per common share.

The Company’s results of operations during the initial 2016 quarter included $23 million ($14 million after-tax effect), or $.09 per diluted common share of merger-related expenses (as described below) associated with M&T’s acquisition of Hudson City Bancorp, Inc.  (“Hudson City”). Immediately following completion on November 1, 2015, while during the fourth quarter of 2016, the merger, Hudson City Savings Bank merged with and intoCompany made a $30 million tax-deductible cash contribution ($.12 per diluted common share) to The M&T Bank,Charitable Foundation. As described herein under the principal bank subsidiaryheading “Other Expense” reflected in the first quarter of each year were seasonally higher stock-based compensation and employee benefits expenses.

In accordance with M&T. Pursuant to&T’s revised 2016 Capital Plan, during the merger agreement,first quarter of 2017, M&T paid cash consideration of $2.1 billion and issued 25,953,950repurchased 3,233,196 shares of M&Tits common stock at a total cost of $532 million and increased the quarterly common stock dividend from $.70 to $.75 per share.  Repurchases of common stock in exchange for Hudson Citythe final 2016 quarter totaled 300,000 shares outstanding at the timea cost of acquisition. Assets acquired totaled approximately $36.7 billion, including $19.0 billion of loans and leases (including approximately $234$37 million, of commercial real estate loans, $18.6 billion of residential real estate loans and $162 million of consumer loans). Liabilities assumed aggregated $31.5 billion, including $17.9 billion of deposits and $13.2 billion of borrowings. Immediately following the acquisition, the Company restructured its balance sheet by selling $5.8 billion of investment securities obtainedwhile in the acquisition and repaying $10.6 billion of borrowings assumedinitial 2016 quarter, M&T repurchased 948,545 shares for $100 million in the transaction. The common stock issued added $3.1 billion to M&T’s common shareholders’ equity. In connectionaccordance with the acquisition, the Company recorded $1.1 billion of goodwill and $132 million of core deposit intangible asset.its 2015 Capital Plan.

Supplemental Reporting of Non-GAAP Results of Operations

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 expenses associated with merging acquired operations into the Company, since such items are considered by management to be “nonoperating” in nature. Those merger-related expenses generally consist of professional services and other temporary help fees associated with the actual or planned conversion of systems and/or integration of operations; costs related to branch and office consolidations; costs related to termination of existing contractual arrangements to purchase various services; initial marketing and promotion expenses designed to introduce M&T Bank to its new customers; severance; incentive compensation costs; travel costs; and printing, supplies and other costs of completing the transactions and commencing operations in new markets and offices.  Those acquisition and integration-relatedAs noted earlier, those expenses (herein referred to as merger-related expenses) totaled $23 million ($14$14 million after-tax effect)effect in the first quarter of 2016 ($.09 per diluted common share), compared with $97 million ($61 million after-tax effect) in the fourth quarter of 2015 ($.40 per diluted common share).2016. There were no merger-related expenses induring the first quarter of 2015. Reflected in merger-related expenses in2017 or the fourth quarter of 2015 was a provision for credit losses of $21 million. GAAP

provides that an allowance for credit losses associated with probable incurred losses on loans acquired at a premium be recognized. Given the recognition of such losses above and beyond the impact of forecasted losses used in determining the fair value of acquired loans, the Company considers that provision to be a merger-related expense.2016. 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 aggregated $320totaled $354 million in the initialrecent quarter, of 2016, compared with $246$320 million in the first quarter of 2015.2016.  Diluted net operating earnings per common share for the recentfirst quarter of 2017 were $1.87,$2.15, compared with $1.68

$1.87 in the year-earlier quarter. Net operating income and diluted net operating earnings per common share were $338$336 million and $2.09,$2.01, respectively, in the final 2015 quarter.fourth quarter of 2016.

Net operating income in the firstinitial 2017 quarter of 2016 expressed as an annualized rate of return on average tangible assets was 1.09%1.21%, compared with 1.08%1.09% and 1.21%1.10% in the first and fourth quarters of 2015,2016, respectively. Net operating income represented an annualized return on average tangible common equity of 11.62%13.05% in the recent quarter, compared with 11.90%11.62% in the year-earliersimilar 2016 quarter and 13.26%11.93% in the fourthfinal quarter of 2015.2016.

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

Taxable-equivalent Net Interest Income

Taxable-equivalent net interest income was $922 million in the initial quarter of 2017, up 5% from $878 million in the first quarter of 2016, up 32% from $665 million in the year-earlier period.quarter.  That growth resulted predominantly from the impact of higher average earning assets, which rose $26.0 billion, or 31%, to $111.2 billion in the recent quarter from $85.2 billion in the first quarter of 2015. The higher level of average earning assets in the initial 2016 quarter reflected a $21.0 billion increase in average loans and leases (due predominantly to the Hudson City acquisition, which added $18.1 billion to average loans), a $3.1 billion increase in average interest-bearing deposits at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and a $2.0 billion rise in average balances of investment securities. As compared with 2015’s initial quarter, there was a one basis point (hundredth of one percent) widening of the Company’s net interest margin, or taxable-equivalent net interest income expressed as an annualized percentage of average earning assets, to 3.34% in the recent quarter from 3.18% in the corresponding 2016 period.  The improvement in taxable-equivalent net interest income was largely the result of the higher interest rate environment due to 3.18%.actions initiated by the Federal Reserve in mid-December 2016 and mid-March 2017 to raise its target Federal funds rate by .25% at each of those dates and higher average loan balances of $2.2 billion. Taxable-equivalent net interest income in the recent quarter rose $65increased 4% from $883 million in the final quarter of 2016, predominantly due to a 26 basis point (hundredths of one percent) widening of the net interest margin from the $813 million recorded3.08% in the fourth quarter of 2015, largely due to2016.  That widening also reflected the full-quarter impact of the Hudson City transaction, and a 6 basis point widening of the net interest margin. Contributing to that widening was the full-quarter impact of the increaseincreases in interest rates initiated by the Federal Reserve in mid-December 2015.as noted above.

Average loans and leases rose $21.0aggregated $89.8 billion or 32% toin the recent quarter, 3% higher than $87.6 billion in the initial 2016 quarter from $66.6of 2016.  Commercial loans and leases averaged $22.3 billion in the first quarter of 2015. Commercial loans and leases averaged2017, up $1.6 billion or 8% from $20.7 billion in the first quarter of 2016, up $1.32016.  Average commercial real estate loans were $33.2 billion in the recent quarter, an increase of $3.7 billion, or 6%13%, from $19.5$29.4 billion in the year-earlier quarter.  Reflecting ongoing repayments of loans obtained in the acquisition of Hudson City, average residential real estate loans declined $3.7 billion or 14% to $22.2 billion in the first quarter of 2015. Average commercial real estate loans increased 7% or $1.8 billion to $29.4 billion in the recent quarter2017 from $27.6 billion in the initial 2015 quarter. Reflecting average balances of $17.7 billion of loans obtained in the Hudson City acquisition, average residential real estate loans increased to $25.9 billion in the initial quarter of 2016 from $8.6 billion in the first quarter of 2015.year-earlier quarter.  Included in those amountsthat portfolio were residential real estate loans held for sale, which averaged $323$366 million in the recent quarter and $387$323 million in the year-earliersimilar 2016 quarter.  Average consumerConsumer loans totaledaveraged $12.2 billion in the recently completed quarter, an increase of $571 million or 5% from $11.6 billion in the first quarter of 2016, up $620 million or 6% from $11.0 billion in the year-earlier quarter predominantly due to growth in average automobile loan balances.and recreational vehicle loans, partially offset by lower outstanding balances of home equity lines of credit.

The investment securities portfolio averaged $16.0 billion in 2017’s first quarter, $651 million or 4% above $15.3 billion in the recentyear-earlier quarter. Investment securities averaged $15.4 billion in the final quarter up $2.0 billion or 15% from $13.4 billionof 2016.  During the first quarter of 2017, the Company purchased $536 million of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae mortgage-backed securities.  Similar purchases of Fannie Mae and Ginnie Mae mortgage-backed securities in the initial quarter of 2015. Investment securities averaged $15.8 billion in2016 totaled $305 million.  During the fourth quarter of 2015. The increase from2016, the year-earlier quarter reflects mortgage-backed securities retained from the acquisition of Hudson City and the net effect of purchases, partially offset by maturities and paydowns of mortgage-backed securities. The Company purchased approximately $3.5$1.2 billion of U.S. Treasury notes and $1.2 billion of Fannie Mae and Ginnie Mae securities that were added to the investment securities portfolio during 2015, and another $305 million of Fannie Mae and Ginnie Mae securities that were purchased during the first quarter of 2016. Those purchases reflect increased holdings of investment securities to satisfy the requirements of the U.S. version of the Basel Committee’s Liquidity Coverage Ratio requirements (“LCR”) that became effective in January 2016.

mortgage-backed securities.  The investment securities portfolio is largely comprised of residential mortgage-backed securities, debt securities issued by municipalities, trust preferred securities issued by certain financial institutions, and shorter-term U.S. Treasury and federal agency notes.  When purchasing investment securities, the Company also 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 manages its investment securities portfolio, in part, to satisfy the requirements of the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (“LCR”) that became effective in January 2016.  The LCR is intended to ensure that banks hold a sufficient amount of “high quality liquid assets” to cover the anticipated net cash outflows during a hypothetical acute 30-day stress scenario. For additional information concerning the LCR rules, refer to Part I, Item 1 of M&T’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 under the heading “Liquidity.”

In managing its investment securities portfolio, the Company occasionally sells 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 Hudson City acquisition added approximately $7.9 billion to theamounts of investment securities portfolio on the November 1, 2015 acquisition date. As noted earlier, immediately following the acquisition of Hudson City,held by the Company restructured itsare influenced by such factors as demand for loans, which generally yield more than investment securities, ongoing repayments, the levels of deposits, and management of liquidity (including the LCR) and balance sheet by selling $5.8 billion of those securities.size and resulting capital ratios.

The Company regularly reviews its investment securities for declines in value below amortized cost that might be characterized as “other than temporary.” There were no other-than-temporary impairment charges recognized in either of the first quarters of 20162017 and 20152016 or in the final 20152016 quarter. Additional information about the investment securities portfolio is included in notes 3 and 12 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 and federal funds sold.  Those other earning assets in the aggregate averaged $8.3$6.2 billion in the recently completed quarter, compared with $5.2$8.3 billion and $6.7$8.9 billion in the first and fourthfinal quarters of 2015,2016, respectively.  Interest-bearing deposits at banks averaged $6.2 billion, $8.2 billion $5.1 billion and $6.6$8.8 billion during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2016,2017, March 31, 20152016 and December 31, 2015,2016, respectively. The rise in average interest-bearing deposits at banks in the recent quarter as compared with the year-earlier quarter and the fourth quarter of 2015 was due, in part, to the Company’s decision to maintain higher balances at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York rather than reinvesting in other highly liquid assets due to the current interest rate environment.  The amounts of investment securities and other earning assets held by the Company are influenced by such factors as demand for

loans, which generally yield more than investment securities and other earning assets, ongoing repayments, the levels of deposits, and management of liquidity (including the LCR) and balance sheet size and resulting capital ratios.

As a result of the changes described herein, average earning assets totaled $111.2were $112.0 billion in the first quarter of 2016,2017, compared with $85.2$111.2 billion in the year-earlier quarter and $103.6$114.3 billion in the fourth quarter of 2015.2016.  

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 $89.7$94.0 billion in the firstmost recent quarter, of 2016, compared with $70.1$89.7 billion in the year-earlier quarter, and $83.3$94.4 billion in the final quarter of 2016.  As compared with the fourth quarter of 2015. The Hudson City acquisition added approximately $17.0 billion2016, higher average balances of corenoninterest-bearing deposits on November 1, 2015, including $9.7 billion ofin 2017’s first quarter, largely due to increased trust customer deposits, were offset by declines in average time deposits, $6.6 billionpredominantly related to maturities of savingsrelatively high-rate deposits and $691 millionobtained in the acquisition of noninterest-bearing deposits.Hudson City.  The higherincrease in average core deposits in the two most recent quarters were predominantly reflectivefirst quarter of 2017 from the impact of the mergeryear-earlier quarter reflected higher noninterest-bearing deposits, largely associated with Hudson City.trust 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 certificatesdeposits, averaged $935 million in the first quarter of deposit, averaged2017, compared with $1.2 billion in the recent quarter, compared with $347 million and $948 million ineach of the first and fourth quarters of 2015, respectively. The higher averages in the two most recent quarters as compared with the initial 2015 quarter were predominantly due to deposits obtained in the acquisition of Hudson City.2016.  Cayman Islands office deposits averaged $192 million, $187 million $224 million and $223$206 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2016,2017, March 31, 20152016 and December 31, 2015,2016, respectively.  Brokered time deposits averaged $59 million in each of the recent quarterquarters ended March 31, 2017, March 31, 2016 and the fourth quarter of 2015. There were no brokered time deposits in the first quarter of 2015.December 31, 2016. The Company also had brokered savings and interest-bearing transaction and brokered money-market deposit

accounts, which in the aggregate averaged approximately$1.1 billion during each of the quarters ended March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, compared with $1.2 billion in each ofduring the first quarter of 2016 and the fourth quarter of 2015, and $1.0 billion in the first quarter of 2015.2016. The levels of brokered deposit accounts reflect the demand for such deposits, largely resulting from the desire of brokerage firms to earn reasonable yields while ensuring that customer deposits are fully insured.  The level of Cayman Islands office deposits areis also reflective of customer demand.  Additional amounts of Cayman Islands office deposits or brokered deposits may be added in the future depending on market conditions, including demand by customers and other investors for those deposits, and the cost of funds available from alternative sources at the time.

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 less than one year.  Average short-term borrowings totaled $2.1 billion$184 million in the first quarter of 2016,2017, compared with $196 million$2.1 billion in the year-earlier quarter and $1.6 billion$200 million in the final quarter of 2015.2016.  The higher level ofdecrease in such borrowings insince the two most recent quartersfirst quarter of 2016 was predominantly due to the maturities of short-term borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York

assumed in the Hudson City acquisition. Those short-term fixed-rate borrowings have various maturity dates throughout 2016.  Included in short-term borrowings were unsecured federalfunds borrowings, which generally mature on the next business day, that averaged $137$129 million and $147$137 million in the first quarters of 20162017 and 2015,2016, respectively, and $131$144 million in the final quarter of 2015.2016.

Long-term borrowings averaged $10.5$8.4 billion in the recentinitial 2017 quarter, compared with $9.8$10.5 billion in the year-earlier quarter and $10.7$9.9 billion in the fourth quarter of 2015.2016.  M&T Bank, M&T’s principal bank subsidiary, has a Bank Note Program whereby M&T Bank may offer unsecured senior and subordinated notes.notes, however, only unsecured senior notes have been issued under that program. Average balances of notes outstanding under that program were $4.5 billion, $5.4 billion, $4.9 billion and $5.5$5.2 billion during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2016,2017, March 31, 20152016 and December 31, 2015,2016, respectively. The proceeds of the issuances of borrowings under the Bank Note Program have beenwere predominantly utilized to purchase high-quality liquid assets that meet the requirements of the LCR.  Outstanding balances of the senior unsecured notes totaled $4.4 billion at March 31, 2017 and $5.2 billion at December 31, 2016.  Also included in average long-term borrowings were amounts borrowed from variousthe Federal Home Loan Banks of New York, Atlanta and Pittsburgh of $1.2 billion in each of the initial quarters of 2017 and 2016 and 2015 and in the fourthfinal quarter of 2015.2016. Subordinated capital notes included in long-term borrowings averaged $1.5 billion duringin each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2016,2017, March 31, 20152016, and December 31, 2015.2016.  Junior subordinated debentures associated with trust preferred securities that were included in average long-term borrowings were $514$517 million duringin the two most recent quarters and $835quarter, compared with $514 million in the first quarter of 2015. In accordance with its 2015 capital plan, on April 15, 2015 M&T redeemed2016 and $516 million in the junior subordinated debentures associated with the $310 millionfourth quarter of trust preferred securities of M&T Capital Trusts I, II and III. Those borrowings had a weighted-average interest rate of 8.24%.2016. Additional information regarding junior subordinated debentures is provided in note 5 of Notes to Financial Statements.  Also included in long-term borrowings were agreements to repurchase securities, which averaged $1.9 billion during$683 million in the two most recent quarters and $1.4first quarter of 2017, $1.9 billion in the first quarter of 2015.2016 and $1.5 billion in the fourth quarter of 2016.  The increase fromlower average balances of repurchase agreements in the recent quarter as compared with the first and fourth quarters of 2016 reflect maturities in the first quarter of 2015 reflects agreements to repurchase securities assumed in connection with the Hudson City acquisition.2017 and fourth quarter of 2016.  The repurchase agreements held at March 31, 20162017 totaled $431 million and have various repurchase dates through 2020, however, the contractual maturities of the underlying securities extend beyond such repurchase dates.  The Company has utilized interest rate swap agreements to modify the repricing characteristics of certain components of long-term debt.  As of March 31, 2016,2017, interest rate swap agreements were used to hedge approximately $1.4 billion$900 million of outstanding fixed rate long-term borrowings.  Further information on interest rate swap agreements is provided in note 10 of Notes to Financial Statements.

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, 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 3.01% in the recent quarter and 2.97%3.15% in the first quarter of 2015.2017, compared with 3.01% in the year-earlier quarter.  The yield on earning assets during each ofthe recent quarter was 3.67%, up 13 basis points from 3.54% in the initial quarters of 2016 and 2015 was 3.54%,quarter, while the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 4one basis pointspoint to .53%.52% in the recent quarter from .57%.53% in the year-earlier period.  In the fourthfinal quarter of 2015,2016, the net interest spread was 2.94%2.88%, the yield on earning assets was 3.48%3.45% and the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was ..54%.57%.  The widening of the net interest spread in the recent quarter as compared with the first quarterand final quarters of 2015 reflects a higher proportion of deposits and short-term borrowings as components of interest-bearing liabilities and lower rates paid on long-term borrowings. The 7 basis point improvement in the net interest spread as compared with the final 2015 quarter2016 was largely due to the full-quarter effect of the increaseincreases in short-term interest rates initiated by the Federal Reserve in mid-December 20152016 and mid-March 2017 that contributed to higher yields on loans and leases.  Also contributing to the improved net interest spread in the initial 2017 quarter were lower average balances of long-term borrowings and of relatively low-yielding deposits held at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

- 51 -


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 $35.1$40.4 billion in the first quarter of 2016,2017, compared with $29.3$35.1 billion and $34.0$39.0 billion in the first and fourth quarters of 2015,2016, respectively.  The increases in average net interest-free funds in the two most recent quarters as compared with the first quarter of 20152016 reflect higher average balances of noninterest-bearing deposits and shareholders’ equity.deposits.  Those deposits averaged $33.3 billion, $28.9 billion and $31.7 billion in the recent quarter, compared with $25.8 billionquarters ended March 31, 2017, March 31, 2016 and $28.4 billionDecember 31, 2016, respectively.  The growth in the first and fourth quarters of 2015, respectively. In connection with the acquisition of Hudson City, the Company added noninterest-bearing deposits of $691 million at the acquisition date. In addition to the impact of the merger, growth inaverage noninterest-bearing deposits since the first quarter of 2015 was due, in part, to2016 largely reflects higher deposits of commercial and trust customers.  The riseShareholders’ equity averaged $16.3 billion in average shareholders’ equity included $3.1each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016, compared with $16.7 billion of common equity issued in connection with the acquisition of Hudson City as well as net retained earnings.three-month period ended December 31, 2016.   Goodwill and core deposit and other intangible assets averaged $4.7 billion inand the recent quarter, compared with $3.6 billion in the first quarter of 2015 and $4.3 billion in the fourth quarter of 2015. Goodwill of $1.1 billion and core deposit intangible of $132 million resulted from the Hudson City acquisition. The cash surrender value of bank owned life insurance averaged $1.7 billion induring each of the three-month periodsquarters ended March 31, 2016,2017, March 31, 20152016 and December 31, 2015.2016.  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 .19% in the recent quarter, compared with .17% in the first quarter of 2016 compared withand .20% in the first quarter of 2015 and .18% in the fourth quarter of 2015.2016.

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 3.34% in the recent quarter, compared with 3.18% in the firstinitial quarter of 2016 compared with 3.17%and 3.08% in the firstfinal quarter of 2015 and 3.12% in the fourth quarter of 2015.2016. 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

- 56 -


interest rate swap agreements to modify the repricing characteristics of certain portions of its interest-bearing liabilities.  Periodic settlement amounts arising from these agreements are reflected in the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities.  The notional amount of interest rate swap agreements entered into for interest rate risk management purposes was $1.4 billion$900 million at each of March 31, 2016, March 31, 20152017 and December 31, 2015.2016, compared with $1.4 billion at March 31, 2016. 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.  Those interest rate swap agreements were designated as fair value hedges of certain fixed rate long-term borrowings. The $500 million decline in notional amount from March 31, 2016 reflects the expiration of a hedge transaction in December 2016 upon conversion of $500 million of fixed rate long-term borrowings to a floating rate.  There were no interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges at those respective dates.

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 in “other revenues from operations” in the Company’s consolidated statement of income.  The amounts of hedge ineffectiveness recognized during each of the quarters ended March 31, 2016,2017, March 31, 20152016 and December 31, 20152016 were not material to the Company’s consolidated results of operations. The estimated aggregate fair value of interest rate swap agreements designated as fair value hedges represented gains of approximately $8 million at March 31, 2017, $41 million at March 31, 2016 $73 million at March 31, 2015 and $44$12 million at December 31, 2015.2016.  The fair values of such interest rate swap agreements were substantially offset by changes in the fair values of the hedged items.  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 Company’s credit exposure as of March 31, 20162017 with respect to the estimated fair value of interest rate swap agreements used for managing interest rate risk has been substantially mitigated through master netting arrangements with trading account interest rate contracts with the same counterparty, as well asperiodic settlements and counterparty postings of $21$11 million of collateral with the Company.

The weighted-average rates to be received and paid under interest rate swap agreements currently in effect were 4.42%3.75% and 1.59%2.24%, respectively, at March 31, 2016.2017.  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 10 of Notes to Financial Statements.

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.  M&T’s bank subsidiaries have access to additional funding sources through borrowings from the FHLB of New York, lines of credit with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the previously noted Bank Note Program, and other available borrowing facilities.  The Company has, from time to time, issued subordinated capital notes and junior subordinated debentures associated with trust preferred securities to provide liquidity and enhance regulatory capital ratios. Such notes generally qualify under the Federal Reserve Board’s risk-based capital guidelines for inclusion in the Company’s regulatory capital. However, pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (“Dodd-Frank Act”), the Company’s junior subordinated debentures associated with trust preferred securities have been phased-out of the definition of Tier 1 capital. Effective January 1, 2015, 75% of such securities were excluded from the Company’s Tier 1 capital, and beginningBeginning January 1, 2016 100% were excluded. The amounts excluded fromthose instruments are considered Tier 12 capital and are only includable in total regulatory capital. In accordance with its 2015 capital plan, in April 2015 M&T redeemed the junior subordinated debentures associated with the trust preferred securities of M&T Capital Trusts I, II and III.

The Company has informal and sometimes reciprocal sources of funding available through various arrangements for unsecured short-term borrowings from a wide group of banks and other financial institutions.  Short-term federal funds borrowings were $128 million, $157 million and $112 million at March 31, 2016, $155 million at2017, March 31, 20152016 and $99 million at December 31, 2015.2016, respectively.  In general, those borrowings were unsecured and matured on the next business day.  In addition to satisfying customer demand, Cayman Islands office deposits may be used by the Company as an alternative to short-term borrowings.  Cayman Islands office deposits totaled $167$193 million $179 million and $170at March 31, 2017, $167 million at March 31, 2016 March 31, 2015 and $202 million at December 31, 2015, respectively.2016.  The Company has also benefited from the placement of brokered deposits.  The Company hashad brokered savings and interest-bearing transaction and brokered money-marketchecking deposit accounts which aggregated approximately $1.1$1.2 billion at each of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, andcompared with $1.1 billion at March 31, 2015, compared with $1.2 billion at December 31, 2015.2016.  Brokered time deposits were not a significant source of funding as of those dates.

- 53 -


The Company’s ability to obtain funding from these or other 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 short-term funding become restricted due to a disruption in the financial markets.  The Company attempts to quantify such credit-event risk by modeling scenarios that estimate the liquidity impact resulting from a short-term ratings downgrade over various grading levels.  Such impact 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 totaledaggregated $1 million at March 31, 2017, $37 million and $11 million at March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, while less than $1$30 million were held at December 31, 2015.2016.  The total amount of VRDBs outstanding backed by M&T Bank letters of credit was $1.7$1.3 billion at each of March 31, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, compared with $1.9$1.7 billion at March 31, 2015.2016.  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 whichthat 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 13 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 bankingbank subsidiaries, which are subject to various regulatory limitations.  Dividends from any bankingbank subsidiary to M&T are limited by the amount of earnings of the banking subsidiary in the current year and the two preceding years.  For purposes of that test, at March 31, 20162017 approximately $1.3 billion$648 million was available for payment of dividends to M&T from bankingbank subsidiaries. Information regarding the long-term debt obligations of M&T is included in note 5 of Notes to Financial Statements.

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 in the normal 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. Banking regulators have finalizedenacted the LCR rules requiring a banking company to maintain a minimum amount of liquid assets to withstand a standardized supervisory liquidity stress scenario. The effective date for those rules for the Company was January 1, 2016, subject to a phase-in period. The Company has taken steps as noted herein to enhance itsmaintain appropriate liquidity and is in compliance with the phase-in requirements of theLCR rules.

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

- 59 -


interest income in future periods under various interest rate scenarios using projected balances for earning assets, interest-bearing liabilities and derivatives used to hedge interest rate risk.  Management’s philosophy toward interest rate risk management is to limit the variability of net interest income.  The

- 54 -


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’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, projections of net interest income calculated under the varying interest rate scenarios are compared to a base interest rate scenario that is reflective of current interest rates.  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 March 31, 20162017 and December 31, 20152016 displays the estimated impact on net interest income from non-trading financial instruments 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 increaseschanges in interest rates during a twelve-month period of 100 and 200 basis points,point increases and a 50 basis point decrease, as compared with the assumed base scenario, as well as a gradual decrease of 50 basis points.scenario.  In the declining rate scenario, the rate changes may be limited to lesser amounts such that interest rates remain positive aton all points onof the yield curve.  In 2016,

- 60 -


the Company suspended the -100 basis point scenario due to the persistent low level of interest rates.  This scenario will be reinstated if and when interest rates rise sufficiently to make the analysis more meaningful.  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. Given recent increases in short-term interest rates,

- 55 -


management believes that exposure to potential volatility of net interest income has recently increased. As a result, in 2017 management is adding interest rate swap agreements designated as hedging instruments to mitigate the Company’s exposure to such potential volatility.

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 herein under the heading “Capital” and in notes 3 and 12 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 in trading account activities consist predominantly of interest rate contracts, such as 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 the offsetting trading account positions associated with interest rate contracts and foreign currency and other option and futures contracts are presented in note 10 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 aggregatedtotaled $22.3 billion at March 31, 2017, $18.9 billion at March 31, 2016 $17.1 billion at March 31, 2015 and $18.4$21.6 billion at December 31, 2015.2016.  The notional amounts of foreign currency and other option and futures contracts entered into for trading account purposes totaledwere $496 million at March 31, 2017, compared with $2.8 billion at March 31, 2016 compared with $1.4 billion and $1.6 billion$471 million at March 31 and December 31, 2015, respectively.2016.  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 aggregated $175 million and $139 million, respectively, at March 31, 2017. Effective January 2017, certain clearinghouse exchanges revised their rules to re-characterize required collateral postings for changes in fair value of exchange-traded derivatives as legal settlements of those positions. As a result, the fair value asset and liability amounts at March 31, 2017 have been reduced by contractual settlements of $112 million and $25 million, respectively. The fair values of trading account assets and liabilities were $468 million and $296 million, respectively, at March 31, 2016, $363and $324 million and $240 million, respectively, at March 31, 2015, and $274 million and $161$174 million, respectively, at December 31, 2015.2016.  Included in trading account assets were assets related to deferred compensation plans totalingaggregating $22 million at each of March 31, 2017, March 31, 2016 compared with $25 million at March 31, 2015 and $24 million at December 31, 2015.2016.  Changes in the fair valuevalues 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 March 31, 20162017 were $26$25 million of liabilities related to deferred compensation plans, compared with $29$26 million and $28 million at each of March 31 and December 31, 2015, respectively.2016.  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 $48 million, $24 million at each of March 31, 2017 and $33December 31, 2016, compared with $48 million at March 31, 2016, March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2015, respectively.2016.

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 10 of Notes to Financial Statements.

Provision for Credit Losses

The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses that in management’s judgment appropriately reflects losses inherent in the loan and lease portfolio.  A provision for credit losses is recorded to adjust the level of the allowance as deemed necessary by management.  The provision for credit losses in the firstinitial quarter of 20162017 was $49$55 million, compared with $38$49 million in the year-earlier quarter and $58$62 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. A $21 million provision for credit losses was recorded in the fourth quarter2016.  Net charge-offs of 2015, in accordance with GAAP, related to loans obtained in the Hudson City acquisition that had a fair value in excess of outstanding principal. GAAP provides that an allowance for credit losses on such loans be recorded beyond the recognition of the fair value of the loans at the acquisition date. Net loan charge-offs were $42$43 million in the recent quarter, compared with $36$42 million and $49 million in each of the first and fourth quarters of 2015.2016, respectively.  Net charge-offs as an annualized percentage of average loans and leases were .19% in the initialfirst quarters of 2017 and 2016, quarter, compared with .22% in the year-earlier quarter and .18% in the final 20152016 quarter.  A summary of net charge-offs by loan type is presented in the table that follows.

Net charge-offs of commercial loans and leases in the first quarter of 2017 included a $6 million charge-off associated with a producer of powdered cellulose and fiber filler products used for food and industrial applications, and in the final 2016 quarter included a $12 million charge-off associated with a multi-regional manufacturer of refractory brick and other castable products.  Included in net charge-offs of consumer loans and leases were net charge-offs during the quarters ended March 31, 2016,2017, March 31, 20152016 and December 31, 2015,2016, respectively, of: automobile loans of $9 million, $11 million $4 million and $3$8 million; recreational vehicle loans of $5 million, $12 million $3 million and $3$5 million; and home equity loans and lines of credit secured by one-to-four family residential properties of $3 million, $5 million $6 million and $3$4 million. DuringBeginning in the first quarter of 2016, the Company chargedaccelerated the charge off of consumer loans associated with customers who were either deceased or had filed for bankruptcy that, in accordance with GAAP, had previously been considered when determining the level of the allowance for credit losses. Such charge-offslosses and were charged-off following the Company’s normal charge-off procedures to the extent the loans subsequently became delinquent.  Charge-offs of such loans totaled $14$7 million in the recent quarter, $14 million in the first quarter of 2016 and $6 million in the final quarter of 2016 and included $5 million, $11 million and $4 million, respectively, of loan balances with a current payment status. Net charge-offsstatus at the time of consumer loans in the fourth quarter of 2015 included a $20 million charge-off of a single personal usage loan obtained in a previous acquisition.charge-off.

recorded allowance for credit losses.  Determining the fair value of the acquired loans requiresrequired estimating cash flows expected to be collected on the loans and discounting those cash flows at then-current interest rates.  For acquired loans where fair value was less than outstanding principal as of the acquisition date and the resulting discount was due, at least in part, to credit deterioration, the excess of expected cash flows over the carrying value of the loans is recognized as interest income over the lives of the loans.  The difference between contractually required payments and the cash flows expected to be collected is referred to as the nonaccretable balance and is not recorded on the consolidated balance sheet.  The nonaccretable balance reflects estimated future credit losses and other contractually required payments that the Company does not expect to collect.  The Company regularly evaluates the reasonableness of its cash flow projections associated with such loans.loans, including its estimates of lifetime principal losses. Any decreases to the expected cash flows require the Company to evaluate the need for an additional allowance for credit losses and could lead to charge-offs of loan balances.  Any significant increases in expected cash flows result in additional interest income to be recognized over the then-remaining lives of the loans.  The carrying amount of loans acquired at a discount subsequent to 2008 and accounted for based on expected cash flows was $1.6 billion, $2.3 billion $2.4 billion and $2.5$1.8 billion at March 31, 2016,2017, March 31, 20152016 and December 31, 2015,2016, respectively.  The decrease in the recent quarter as compared with Decembersuch loans since March 31, 20152016 was largely attributable to payments received.  The nonaccretable balance related to remaining principal losses associated with loans acquired at a discount as of March 31, 20162017 and December 31, 20152016 is presented in the accompanying table.

For acquired loans where the fair value exceeded the outstanding principal balance, the resulting premium is recognized as a reduction of interest income over the lives of the loans. Immediately following the acquisition date and thereafter, an allowance for credit losses is recorded for incurred losses inherent in the portfolio, consistent with the accounting for originated loans and leases. The carrying amount of Hudson City loans acquired at a premium was $17.0$13.5 billion and $17.8$14.2 billion at March 31, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, respectively. As noted previously, a $21 million provision for credit losses was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2015 for incurred losses inherent in those loans. GAAP does not allow the credit loss component of the net premium associated with those loans to be bifurcated and accounted for as a nonaccreting balance as is the case with purchased impaired loans and other loans acquired at a discount.  DespiteRather, subsequent to the fact that the determination of aggregate fair value reflects the impact of expected credit losses, GAAP provides thatacquisition date, incurred losses associated with those loans are evaluated using methods consistent with those applied to originated loans and such losses are considered by management in a portfolio of loans acquired at a premium be recognized even though in a relatively homogenous portfolio of residential mortgage loansevaluating the specific loans to which the losses relate cannot be individually identified at the acquisition date.Company’s allowance for credit losses.

Purchased impaired loans are loans obtained in acquisition transactions subsequent to 2008 that as of the acquisition date were specifically identified as displaying signs of credit deterioration and for which the Company did not expect to collect all outstandingcontractually required principal and contractually required interest payments.  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 continues to accrue interest income on such loans based on the estimated expected cash flows associated with the loans.  The carrying amount of such loans was $716$553 million at March 31, 2016,2017, or approximately .8%.6% of total loans. Of that amount, $624$488 million iswas related to the Hudson City acquisition. Purchased impaired loans totaled $184$716 million and $768$578 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015,2016, respectively.

Accruing loans acquired at a discount past due 90 days or more are loans that could not be specifically identified as impaired as of the acquisition date, but were recorded at estimated fair value as of such date. Such loans totaled $64 million at March 31, 2017, compared with $62 million at March 31, 2016 compared with $80 million at March 31, 2015 and $68$61 million at December 31, 2015.2016.

In an effort to assist borrowers, theThe Company modified the terms of select loans.loans in an effort to assist borrowers.  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. In accordance with GAAP, 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 4 of Notes to Financial Statements.

Residential real estate loans modified under specified loss mitigation programs prescribed by government guarantors 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 $174 million, $155 million $153 million and $147$171 million at March 31, 2016, March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Nonaccrual commercial loans and leases aggregated $280 million at March 31, 2016, $195 million at March 31, 2015 and $242 million at December 31, 2015. The largest commercial loans placed in nonaccrual status since March 31, 2015 were a $24 million relationship with a commercial maintenance services provider with operations in New Jersey and Pennsylvania that was placed in nonaccrual status in the third quarter of 2015 and a $40 million relationship with a multi-regional manufacturer of refractory brick and other cast-able products placed in nonaccrual status in the first quarter of 2016. Commercial real estate loans classified as nonaccrual totaled $224 million at2017, March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015,2016, respectively.

Management determined the allowance for credit losses by performing ongoing evaluations of the loan and lease portfolio, including such factors as the differing economic risks associated with each loan category, the financial condition of specific borrowers, the economic environment in which borrowers operate, the level of delinquent loans, the value of any collateral and, where applicable, the existence of any guarantees or indemnifications.  Management evaluated the impact of changes in interest rates and overall economic conditions on the ability of borrowers to meet repayment obligations when quantifying the Company’s exposure to credit losses and the allowance for such losses as of each reporting date.  Factors also considered by management when performing its assessment, in addition to general economic conditions and the other factors described above, included, but were not limited to: (i) the impact of residential real estate values on the Company’s portfolio of loans to residential real estate builders and developers and

other loans secured by residential real estate; (ii) the concentrations of commercial real estate loans in the Company’s loan portfolio; (iii) the amount of commercial and industrial loans to businesses in areas of New York State outside of the New York City metropolitan area and in central Pennsylvania that have historically experienced less economic growth and vitality than the vast majority of other regions of the country; (iv) the expected repayment performance associated with the Company’s first and second lien loans secured by residential real estate, including loans obtained in the acquisition of Hudson City that

- 62 -


were not classified as purchased impaired; and (v) the size of the Company’s portfolio of loans to individual consumers, which historically have experienced higher net charge-offs as a percentage of loans outstanding than other loan types.  The level of the allowance is adjusted based on the results of management’s analysis.

Management cautiously and conservatively evaluated the allowance for credit losses as of March 31, 20162017 in light of:  (i) residential real estate values and the level of delinquencies of loans secured by residential real estate; (ii) economic conditions in the markets served by the Company; (iii) slower growth in private sector employment in upstate New York and central Pennsylvania than in other regions served by the Company and nationally; (iv) the significant subjectivity involved in commercial real estate valuations; and (v) the amount of loan growth experienced by the Company.  While there has been general improvement in economic conditions, concerns continue to exist about the strength and sustainability of such improvements; the troubled statevolatile 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; and continued stagnant population growth in the upstate New York and central Pennsylvania regions (approximately 55% of the Company’s loans and leases are to customers in New York State and Pennsylvania).

The Company utilizes a loan grading system which is applied to all commercial loans and commercial real estate loans. Loan grades are utilized to differentiate risk within the portfolio and consider the expectations of default for each loan. Commercial loans and commercial real estate 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.  Criticized commercial loans and commercial real estate loans were $2.5 billion at March 31, 2017, compared with $2.3 billion at March 31, 2016 compared with $2.1and $2.4 billion at December 31, 2015. The increase since December 31, 2015 included $74 million related to commercial real estate loans and $91 million related to commercial loans.2016.  Approximately 94%99% of loan balances added to the criticized category during the recent quarter were less than 90 days past due and 91% had a current payment status.  The borrower industriesGiven payment performance, amount of supporting collateral, and, in certain instances, the existence of loan guarantees, the Company still expects to collect the full outstanding principal balance on most significantly impacting the higher level of criticized loans were investment real estate, services and manufacturing.those loans.

Loan officers in different geographic locations with the support of loan reviewthe Company’s credit department personnel in different geographic locations are responsible to continuously review and reassign loan grades to pass and criticized loans based on their detailed knowledge of individual borrowers and their judgment of the impact on such borrowers resulting from changing conditions in their respective geographic regions. 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 loan reviewcredit 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

- 70 -


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 reviewed. To the extent that these 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 value as determined by line of business and/or loan workout personnel in the respective geographic regions. Those adjustments are reviewed and assessed for reasonableness by the Company’s loan reviewcredit department. Accordingly, for real estate collateral securing larger 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,

- 63 -


real estate and non-real estate values are reduced by an estimate of selling costs. 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-offcharged off to estimated net collateral value shortly after the Company is notified of such filings. At March 31, 2016,2017, approximately 54%55% 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 72%70% (or approximately 33%32% 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 March 31, 2016,2017, the balance of junior lien loans and lines that were in nonaccrual status solely as a result of first lien loan performance was $23$13 million, compared with $22$23 million at each of March 31, 20152016 and $12 million at December 31, 2015.2016.  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, if the Company does not know the amountcharge-off and for purposes of the remaining first lien mortgage loan (typically because the Company does not own or service the first lien loan), the Company assumes that the first lien mortgage loan has had no principal amortization since the origination of the junior lien loan. Similarly, data used in estimating incurred losses for purposes ofin determining the allowance for credit losses, also assumes no reductions in outstanding principalthe Company gives consideration to the required repayment of any first lien loans since the origination of the junior lien loan.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 March 31, 2016,

- 71 -


2017, approximately 86%83% 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 five years, and approximately 21% 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.

In determining the allowance for credit losses, the Company estimates losses attributable to specific troubled credits identified through both normal and detailed or intensified credit review processes and also estimates losses inherent in other loans and leases. In quantifying incurred losses, the Company considers the factors and uses the techniques described herein and in note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements. For purposes of determining the level of the allowance for credit losses, the Company segments its loan and lease portfolio by loan type. The amount of specific loss components in the Company’s loan and lease portfolios is determined through a loan-by-loan analysis of commercial loans and commercial real estate loans in nonaccrual status. Measurement of the specific loss components is typically based on expected future cash flows, collateral values or other factors that may impact the borrower’s ability to pay. Losses associated with residential real estate loans and consumer loans are generally determined by reference to recent charge-off history and are evaluated (and adjusted if deemed appropriate) through consideration of other factors including near-term forecasted loss estimates developed by the Company’s credit department. These forecasts give consideration to overall borrower repayment performance and current geographic region changes in collateral values using third party published historical price indices or automated valuation methodologies. With regard to collateral values, the realizability of such values by the Company contemplates repayment of any first lien position prior to recovering amounts on a junior lien position. Approximately 46%45% of the Company’s home equity portfolio consists of junior lien loans and lines of credit. Except for consumer loans and

- 64 -


residential real estate loans that are considered smaller balance homogeneous loans and are evaluated collectively and loans obtained at a discount in acquisition transactions, the Company considers a loan to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement or the loan is delinquent 90 days or more and has been placed in nonaccrual status. Those impaired loans are evaluated for specific loss components.  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. Loans less than 90 days delinquent are deemed to have a minimal delay in payment and are generally not considered to be impaired. Loans acquired in connection with acquisition transactions subsequent to 2008 were recorded at fair value with no carry-over of any previously recorded allowance for credit losses. Determining the fair value of the acquired loans required estimating cash flows expected to be collected on the loans and discounting those cash flows at then-current interest rates. For loans acquired at a discount, the impact of estimated future credit losses represents the predominant difference between contractually required payments

- 72 -


and the cash flows expected to be collected. Subsequent decreases to those expected cash flows require the Company to evaluate the need for an additional allowance for credit losses and could lead to charge-offs of acquired loan balances. Additional information regarding the Company’s process for determining the allowance for credit losses is included in note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements.

Management believes that the allowance for credit losses at March 31, 20162017 appropriately reflected credit losses inherent in the portfolio as of that date.  The allowance for credit losses was $963 million,$1.0 billion, or 1.10%1.12% of total loans and leases at March 31, 2016,2017, compared with $921$963 million or 1.37%1.10% at March 31, 20152016 and $956$989 million or 1.09% at December 31, 2015.2016.  The ratio of the allowance to total loans and leases at each respective date reflects the impact of loans obtained in acquisition transactions subsequent to 2008 that have been recorded at estimated fair value. As noted earlier, GAAP prohibits any carry-over of an allowance for credit losses for acquired loans recorded at fair value.  However, for loans acquired at a premium, GAAP provides that an allowance for credit losses be recognized for incurred losses inherent in the portfolio.  The declines in the ratio of the allowance to total loans and leases at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 from March 31, 2015 reflects the impact of loans (predominantly residential real estate loans) obtained in the acquisition of Hudson City. The level of the allowance reflects management’s evaluation of the loan and lease portfolio using the methodology and considering the factors as described herein.  Should the various credit factors considered by management in establishing the allowance for credit losses change and should management’s assessment of losses inherent in the loan portfoliosportfolio also change, the level of the allowance as a percentage of loans could increase or decrease in future periods.  The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to nonaccrual loans was 108% at March 31, 2017, compared with 110% at March 31, 2016 was 110%, compared with 117% a year earlier and 120%107% at December 31, 2015.2016.  Given the Company’s general position as a secured lender and its practice of charging-offcharging off loan balances when collection is deemed doubtful, that ratio and changes in that ratio are generally not an indicative measure of the adequacy of the Company’s allowance for credit losses, nor does management rely upon that ratio in assessing the adequacy of the allowance.Company’s allowance for credit losses. The level of the allowance reflects management’s evaluation of the loan and lease portfolio as of each respective date.

Other Income

Other income totaled $447 million in the initial quarter of 2017, compared with $421 million in the first quarter of 2016 compared with $440 million in the year-earlier quarter and $448$465 million in the fourth quarter of 2015.2016.  The most significant factors contributing to the declinerise in other income during the recent quarter as compared with the year-earlier quarter resulted largely from the first quarter of 2015 were a $20 million decrease in mortgage banking revenues and a $13 million decrease inhigher trust income, partially offset by increases in bank-owned life insurance income and credit-related fees. As compared with the fourth quarter of 2015,2016, the recent quarter decline in other income reflected lower loan syndication fees and declines in commercial mortgage banking revenues, service charges on deposit accounts and trust income.revenues.

Mortgage banking revenues totaled $82were $85 million in the recent quarter, compared with $102$82 million in the initialyear-earlier quarter of 2015 and $88$99 million in the final 20152016 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.

other residential real estate loan-related fees and income, were $60 million in each of the first quarter of 2016 and the final quarter of 2015, compared with $79$58 million in the first quarter of 2015. As2017, compared with $60 million in the firstyear-earlier quarter and $63 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, the recent quarter decline in2016.  The lower residential mortgage banking revenues reflects a decline in revenues associatedthe recent quarter as compared with servicing residential real estate loans for others and lowerthe final quarter of 2016 were largely the result of decreased gains from origination activities, due largely to decreasedlower volumes of loans originated for sale.sale and narrower margins on those originations.

New commitments to originate residential real estate loans to be sold were approximately $659$727 million in 2016’s initial2017’s first quarter, compared with $936$659 million in the year-earlier quarter and $667$760 million in the final quarter of 2015.2016. Realized gains from sales of residential real estate loans and loan servicing rights and recognized net unrealized gains andor 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 $14 million in each of the first quarterquarters of 20162017 and the final 2015 quarter,2016, compared with gains of $21$17 million in the firstfourth quarter of 2015.

The Company is contractually obligated to repurchase previously sold 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 purchasers for losses incurred or may repurchase certain loans. The Company reduces residential mortgage banking revenues for losses related to its obligations to loan purchasers. The amount of those charges varies 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. Residential mortgage banking revenues during each of the first quarter of 2016 and the first and final quarters of 2015 were reduced by $1 million related to the actual or anticipated settlement of repurchase obligations.2016.

The recent quarter’s rise in noninterest operating expenses fromas compared with the fourth quarter of 20152016 reflected the full-quarter impact of the Hudson City acquisition, along with seasonally higher stock-based compensation and employee benefits expenses offset, in part, by lower professional services costs.the effect of a $30 million contribution to The M&T Charitable Foundation in the final 2016 quarter. Table 2 provides a reconciliation of other expense to noninterest operating expense.

Merger-related salaries and employee benefits expenses were $51 million (consisting predominantly of severance) in the fourth quarter of 2015 and $5 million in the first quarter of 2016. AsThe increased salaries and employee benefits expense in the recent quarter as compared with the year-earlier period, the recentfirst quarter reflects the impact of the additional employees associated with the Company’s expanded operations and2016 largely reflects the impact of annual merit increases for employees. Excluding merger-relatedemployees and higher incentive-based compensation. The higher level of expenses the higher expense level in the recent quarter as compared with the final quarter of 20152016 was largely attributable to 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 payments. 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 quarters of 2017 and 2016 and 2015 included $16$20 million and $14$16 million, respectively, that would have been recognized over the normal vesting period if not for the accelerated expense 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 $29$33 million and $28$29 million in the quartersthree-month periods ended March 31, 20162017 and March 31, 2015,2016, respectively, and $11$9 million in the quarterthree-month period ended December 31, 2015.2016.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for each of the first quarterquarters of 2017 and 2016 was $169 million, compared with $134 million in the year-earlier quarter and $140$180 million in the fourth quarter of 2015.2016. As noted earlier, M&T adopted new accounting guidance for share-based transactions during the first quarter of 2017. That guidance requires that all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies associated with share-based compensation be recognized as a component of income tax expense in the income statement. Previously, tax effects resulting from changes to M&T’s share price subsequent to the grant date were recorded through shareholders’ equity at the time of vesting or exercise. The adoption of the amended accounting guidance resulted in an $18 million reduction of income tax expense in the initial 2017 quarter. The effective tax rates were 36.2%32.7%, 35.6%36.2% and 34.1%35.2% for the quarters ended March 31, 2016,2017, March 31, 20152016 and December 31, 2015,2016, respectively. DuringExcluding the fourthimpact of the adoption of the amended accounting guidance, the effective tax rate would have been 36.2% in the first quarter of 2015, the provision for income taxes was reduced by $5 million to reflect technology research credits related to 2011 through 2014 that were accepted by the Internal Revenue Service in December 2015.2017. 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 but infrequently occurring items.

The Company’s effective tax rate in future periods will also be affected by the results of operations allocated to the various tax jurisdictions within which the Company operates, any change in income tax laws or regulations within those jurisdictions, 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.

In conjunction with the acquisition of Hudson City, M&T issued 25,953,950 common shares, which added $3.1 billion to common shareholders’ equity on November 1, 2015.2016.  Tangible equity per common share, which excludes goodwill and core deposit and other intangible assets and applicable deferred tax balances, was $67.16 at the end of the recent quarter, compared with $65.65 at March 31, 2016 $58.29 at March 31, 2015 and $64.28$67.85 at December 31, 2015.2016.  The Company’s ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets was 8.71% at each of March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016, compared with 8.17% a year earlier and 8.69%8.92% at December 31, 2015.2016.  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.

Reflected in net unrealized gainslosses at March 31, 20162017 were pre-tax effect unrealized lossesgains of $34$125 million on available-for-sale investment securities with an amortized cost of $1.7$5.0 billion and pre-tax effect unrealized gainslosses of $297$135 million on securities with an amortized cost of $10.2$7.6 billion.  The pre-tax effect unrealized losses reflect $26$15 million of losses on trust preferred securities issued by financial institutions having an amortized cost of $124$110 million and an estimated fair value of $98$95 million (generally considered Level 2 valuations).  Further information concerning the Company’s valuations of available-for-sale investment securities is provided in note 12 of Notes to Financial Statements.

As of March, 31, 2016,2017, based on a review of each of the securities in the investment securities portfolio, the Company concluded that the declines in the values of any securities containing an unrealized loss were temporary and that any additional other-than-temporary impairment charges were not appropriate.  It is likely that the Company will be required to sell certainAs of its collateralized debt obligations backed by trust preferred securities held in the available-for-sale portfolio to comply with the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act commonly referred to as the “Volcker Rule”. However, the amortized cost and fair value of those collateralized debt obligations were $24 million and $29 million, respectively, at March 31, 2016 and the Company does not expect that it would realize any material losses if it ultimately was required to sell such securities. As of that date,2017, the Company did not intend to sell nor is it anticipated that it would be required to sell any of its other impaired securities, that is, where fair value is less than the 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 cost basis of those securities to become other-than-temporarily impaired. However, because the unrealized losses on available-for-sale investment securities have generally already been reflected in the financial statement values for investment securities and shareholders’ equity, any recognition of an other-than-temporary decline in value of those investment securities would not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition. Any other-than-temporary impairment charge related to held-to-maturity securities would result in reductions in the financial statement values for investment securities and shareholders’ equity. Additional information concerning fair value measurements and the Company’s approach to the classification of such measurements is included in note 12 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

The Company assessesassessed impairment 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 March 31, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, the Company had in its held-to-maturity portfolio privately issued mortgage-backed securities with an amortized cost basis of $175$153 million and $181$158 million, respectively, and a fair value of $137$119 million and $142$121 million, respectively.  At March 31, 2016, 89%2017, 85% of the mortgage-backed securities were in the most senior tranche of the securitization structure with 28%24% being independently rated as investment grade.  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 15%16% at March 31, 2016,2017, calculated by dividing the remaining unpaid principal balance of bonds subordinate to the

- 79 -


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. All mortgage-backed securities in the held-to-maturity portfolio had a current payment status as of March 31, 2016. The weighted-average default percentage and loss severity assumptions utilized in the Company’s internal modeling were 33%28% and 88%,71% respectively. TheGiven the securitization structure, the bonds held by the Company may defer interest payments in certain circumstances, but 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 March 31, 2016, its2017, those privately issued mortgage-backed securities were not other-than-temporarily impaired.  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.

On March 12, 2015, M&T announced that

Consistent with its revised 2016 Capital Plan filed with the Federal Reserve, did not object to M&T’s proposed 2015 Capital Plan. Accordingly, M&T was allowed to maintain a quarterlyrepurchased 3,233,196 common stock dividendshares for $532 million during the first quarter of $.70 per share; continue to pay dividends and interest on other equity and debt instruments included in regulatory capital, including preferred stock, trust preferred securities and subordinated debt that were outstanding at December 31, 2014, consistent with the contractual terms of those instruments;2017.  M&T may repurchase up to $200$231 million of its common shares during the first half of 2016; and redeem or repurchase up to $310 million of trust preferred securities. Those latter securities were redeemed in April 2015. Common and preferred dividends are subject to approval by M&T’s Board of Directors in the ordinary course of business. As the Hudson City transaction occurred later than contemplated in that 2015 Capital Plan, common stock dividends paid in relation to the common stock issued as merger consideration were less than projected. With the concurrence of the Federal Reserve, the distribution of that capital, approximately $54 million, is being re-allocated into the common stock repurchase program for the second quarter of 2016.

The Company did not repurchase any2017.  During the fourth quarter of 2016, M&T repurchased 300,000 shares of its common stock during 2015. However,for $37 million.  Pursuant to the 2015 Capital Plan, M&T commenced a program to repurchaserepurchased 948,545 shares of its common sharesstock for $100 million in the initial 2016 quarter.

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

 

4.5% Common Equity Tier 1 (“CET1”) to risk-weighted assets (each as defined in the capital regulations);

 

6.0% Tier 1 capital (that is, CET1 plus Additional Tier 1 capital) to risk-weighted assets (each as defined in the capital regulations);

In addition, capital regulations provide for the phase-in of a “capital conservation buffer” composed entirely of CET1 on top of these minimum risk-weighted asset ratios. When fully phased-in on January 1, 2019 the capital conservation buffer will be 2.5%. For 2016,2017, the phased-inphase-in transition portion of that buffer is .625%1.25%.

On June 17, 2013, M&T and M&T Bank entered into a written agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Under the terms of the agreement, M&T and M&T Bank were required to submit to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York a revised compliance risk management program designed to ensure compliance with the Bank Secrecy Act and anti-money-laundering laws and regulations (“BSA/AML”) and to take certain other steps to enhance their compliance practices. M&T and M&T Bank have since made substantial progress in implementing a BSA/AML program with significantly expanded scale and scope, as recognized by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in its Order approving M&T and M&T Bank’s applications to acquire Hudson City and Hudson City Savings Bank.scope.  M&T and M&T Bank are continuing to work towards the resolution of all outstanding issues in the written agreement.

The Business Banking segment earnedcontributed net income of $22 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2017, compared with $25 million in each of the two most recent quartersyear-earlier quarter and $24 million in the firstfourth quarter of 2015.2016.  As compared with the year-earlier quarter, a $4recent quarter rise in the provision for credit losses of $5 million was partially offset by a $2 million increase in net interest income.  The modest decline in net income in the initial 2017 quarter as compared with the immediately preceding quarter was largely due to a $2 million decrease in net interest income.

Net income of the Commercial Banking segment was $113 million in the recent quarter, compared with $101 million in the first quarter of 2016 and $102 million in the final 2016 quarter.  The recent quarter’s 11% improvement as compared with the first quarter of 2016 reflected an increase in net interest income of $8 million, largely resulting from a $316 basis point widening of the net interest margin on deposits, higher letter of credit and other credit-related fees of $6 million, predominantly due to loan syndication fees, a decline in the provision for credit losses due to lower net charge-offs,of $5 million and increased gains from the sale of previously leased equipment of $3 million.  Those favorable factors were offset, in part, by higher centrally-allocated costs largely associated with the acquired Hudson City operations.for FDIC assessments of $3 million.  The higher net interest income resulted predominantly from an increase in average outstanding deposit balancesthe first quarter of $1.1 billion. As2017 as compared with the immediately preceding2016’s fourth quarter was largely due to a decrease in the provision for credit losses of $16 million and increased letter of credit and other credit-related fees of $5 million, largely due to lower net charge-offs, wasloan syndication fees.  Those favorable factors were offset, in part, by lower revenuesa $4 million decline in gains from merchant discount and credit card fees and modestly higher centrally-allocated costs.the sale of previously leased equipment.  

The Commercial BankingReal Estate segment contributedrecorded net income of $101$85 million duringin the first quarter ended March 31, 2016,of 2017, compared with $96$81 million in the year-earlier quarterperiod and $118$96 million in the fourth quarter of 2015.2016.  The recent quarter’s 5% improvement in net income as compared with the first quarter of 20152016 reflected an $8 million decline in the provision for credit losses, primarily due to lower net charge-offs, and a $7$13 million increase in net interest income.income and higher mortgage banking revenues of $5 million.  The higher net interest income resulted from increaseswas largely attributable to an increase in average outstanding loan balances of $1.1$3.1 billion and a widening of the net interest margin on deposits of 13 basis points, partially offset, in part, by a narrowing of the net interest margin on loans of 914 basis points.  Those favorable factors were partially offset in part, by an increase in centrally-allocated technology-related costs and other operating expenses. The recent quarter’s decline in net income as compared with 2015’s fourth quarter was largely due to lower credit-related and other fees of $13a $4 million and a $10 million increaserise in the provision for credit losses, increased FDIC assessments of $4 million and higher personnel-related expenses of $2 million.

The decline in net income in the initial 2017 quarter as compared with the final 2016 quarter was largely due toto:  decreased mortgage banking revenues of $9 million, reflecting lower origination volumes; a $10$5 million partial recoveryrise in the final 2015 quarter ofprovision for credit losses; a previously charged-off loan related to a relationship with a motor vehicle-related parts wholesaler.

The Commercial Real Estate segment contributed$3 million decline in net interest income, of $81 millionreflecting two less days in the first quarterrecent quarter; and lower credit-related fees of 2016,$2 million.

Net income earned by the Discretionary Portfolio segment totaled $34 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2017, compared with $83$48 million in the year-earlier period and $90$29 million in the fourth quarter of 2015.2016.  The modestrecent quarter’s decline in net income as compared with the first quarter of 2015 reflects a $3 million increase in the provision for credit losses, due to lower recoveries of previously charged-off loans, and higher operating expenses that were largely offset by a $5 million increase in net interest income, reflecting increases in average outstanding loan and deposit balances of $1.5 billion and $371 million, respectively. The recent quarter decline in net income as compared with the final 2015 quarter was largely due to lower net interest income and trading account and foreign exchange gains of $2 million each, increases in personnel costs of $2 million and other higher operating expenses. The lower net interest income2016 was predominantly due to a narrowing of the$21 million decrease in net interest margin on loans of 10 basis points, partially offset by an increase in average outstanding loan balances of $439 million and a widening of the net interest margin on deposits of 16 basis points.

The Discretionary Portfolio segment recorded net income, of $40 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2016, compared with $6 million in the year-earlier period and $31 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. The significant improvement as compared with the first quarter of 2015 was predominantly due to the impact of residential real estate loans obtained in the acquisition of Hudson City. A $5 million increase in bank owned life insurance revenues also contributed to that improvement. Those favorable factors were offset, in part, by a $3 million increase in the provision for credit losses and highera $2 million decline in bank owned life insurance revenues.  The decline in net interest income reflected lower average loan balances of $3.8 billion and other real estate-related servicing costs.a narrowing of the net interest margin on loans of 12 basis points, each predominantly due to pay downs of loans obtained in the acquisition of Hudson City, partially offset by a 9 basis point widening of the net interest margin on investment securities.  The recent quarter’s favorable performance as compared with the immediately preceding quarter included the full-quarter impact of thereflected an increase in net interest income and declines in residential real estate loans obtained in the acquisition of Hudson City, partially offset by

Net income from the Residential Mortgage Banking segment was $17$15 million in the recent quarter, compared with $29$17 million in the first quarter of 20152016 and $13$20 million in 2015’s2016’s fourth quarter.  The decline in net income in the recent quarter as compared with the year-earlier period was largely attributable to a $7 million decreasereflected lower servicing revenues.  As compared with the final quarter of 2016, the decreased net income in the recent quarter reflected lower revenues fromassociated with mortgage origination and sales activities (including intersegment revenues) of $4 million, and a $3 million decline in net interest income, due largely to lower origination volumesaverage deposit balances of $776 million.

Net income earned by the Retail Banking segment totaled $82 million in the first quarter of 2017, compared with $63 million in the year-earlier quarter and a decline$70 million in revenues from subservicing residential real estate loans.

The primary contributors to the recent quarter decline in net income as compared with the year-earlier period were: a $21 million increase in the provision for credit losses, largely due to partial charge-offs recognized in the first quarter of 2016 on loans for which the Company identified that the customer was either bankrupt or deceased; a $15 million rise in personnel-related expenses and higher equipment and net occupancy costs of $4 million, reflecting the impact of the Hudson City acquisition; a $3 million increase in advertising and promotional expenses and higher centrally-allocated operating costs.average outstanding deposit balances.  Those unfavorablefavorable factors were largelypartially offset by an increase in net interest income of $39 million, predominantly duehigher allocated operating expenses associated with data processing, risk management and other support services provided to the impact of deposits obtained in the acquisition of Hudson City.this segment.  The recent quarter’s modest decline inimproved net income as compared with the fourth quarter of 2015 reflected2016 was due to:  a $23 million increasedecrease in the provision for credit losses, largely due to the aforementioned partial charge-offs recognized in the first quarter of 2016, seasonally lower service charges on deposit accounts of $5 millionadvertising and higher personnel-relatedmarketing expenses of $4 million due to the full-quarter impact of the Hudson City acquisition.

The improvement in net interest income predominantly reflected the full-quarter impact of consumer deposits obtained in the acquisition of Hudson City.service charges on deposit accounts.

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, including the November 2015 Hudson City transaction, M&T’s share of the operating losses of BLG, merger-related expenses resulting from acquisitions, and the net impact of the Company���sCompany’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 the 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 $29$1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, $672017, $38 million in the year-earlier quarter and $71$10 million in the fourth quarter of 2015.2016.  The reduced net loss in the first quarter of 2017 as compared with the year-earlier quarter largely reflected:  merger-related expenses of $23 million in the first quarter of 2016 (there were no similar merger-related expenses in the recently completed quarter); tax benefits of $18 million recognized in the first quarter of 2017 resulting from the adoption of new accounting guidance requiring that excess tax benefits associated with share-based compensation be recognized in income tax expense in the income

statement, and higher trust income of $9 million.  Those favorable factors were offset, in part, by higher personnel-related expenses, including incentive-based compensation and the impact of annual merit increases for employees.  As compared with the immediately preceding quarter, the improved performance in the recent quarter reflected the $18 million tax benefit recognized in the first quarter of 2015,2017 associated with share-based compensation, the impact of the $30 million contribution to The M&T Charitable Foundation in the final 2016 quarter, and the favorable 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 and the provision for credit losses, and decreases in professional services costs of $7 millionmethodologies.  Those favorable factors were largely offset in part, by: merger-related expenses aggregating $23 million in the recent quarter (there were no such expenses in the first quarter of 2015);by higher personnel-related expenses of $17 million; a decline in trust income of $13 million, in

Merger-related costs in the fourth quarter of 2015 aggregated $97 million. Excluding merger-related costs in each of the two most recent quarters, the “All Other” category resulted in net losses for the quarters ended March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 of $15 million and $10 million, respectively. The increased net loss from the immediately preceding quarter was mostly due to an increase in personnel-related and other operating costs, offset, in part, by the favorable impact from the Company’s allocation methodologies and lower professional services costs.employee benefits expenses.

Recent Accounting Developments

Effective January 1, 2016, the Company adopted amendedA discussion of recent accounting guidance relatingdevelopments is included in note 16 of Notes to the consolidation of variable interest entities to modify the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are variable interest entities or voting interest entities and to eliminate the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership. The amended guidance also eliminates certain conditions in the assessment of whether fees paid by a legal entity to a decision maker or a service provider represent a variable interest in the legal entity and reduces the extent to which related party arrangements cause an entity to be considered a primary beneficiary. The new guidance eliminates the indefinite deferral of existing consolidation guidance for certain investment funds, but provides a scope exception for reporting entities with interests in legal entities that are required to comply with or operate in accordance with requirements similar to those in Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 for registered money market funds. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the Company also adopted amended accounting guidance for debt issuance costs. The guidance requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position at January 1, 2016.

In the first quarter of 2016, the Company adopted amended accounting guidance for share-based payments when the terms of an award provide that a performance target could be achieved after the requisite service period. The amended guidance requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. The performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. If the performance target becomes probable of being achieved before the end of the requisite service period, the remaining unrecognized compensation cost should be recognized prospectively over the remaining requisite service period. The total amount of compensation cost recognized during and after the requisite service period should reflect the number of awards that are expected to vest and should be adjusted to reflect those awards that ultimately vest. The requisite service period ends when the employee can cease rendering service and still be eligible to vest in the award if the performance target is achieved. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Amended guidance for measurement-period adjustments related to business combinations was also adopted by the Company in the first quarter of 2016. The amended guidance requires that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the

- 84 -


reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The acquirer is now required to record, in the same period’s financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued amended guidance for share-based transactions. The amended guidance requires that all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies be recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement and that excess tax benefits should be recognized regardless of whether the benefit reduces taxes payable in the current period. The guidance allows an entity to make an accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest or account for forfeitures when they occur. The guidance permits share-based awards that allow for the withholding of shares up to the maximum statutory tax ratio in applicable jurisdictions to qualify for equity classification. The previous GAAP threshold was restricted to the employer’s minimum statutory withholding requirements. The guidance also specifies certain changes to the reporting of share-based transactions on the statement of cash flows and is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is still evaluating the impact the amended guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued amended accounting guidance for the transition to the equity method of accounting. The amended guidance eliminates the requirement that when an investment qualifies for use of the equity method as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence, an investor must adjust the investment, results of operations, and retained earnings retroactively on a step-by-step basis as if the equity method has been in effect during all previous periods that the investment had been held. Instead, the amended guidance requires the investor to adopt the equity method of accounting as of the date the investment first qualifies for such accounting. The guidance is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company does not expect the guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued two amendments to its rules on accounting for derivatives and hedging. The first amendment clarifies that a change in the counterparty to a derivative instrument that has been designated as the hedging instrument does not, in and of itself, require dedesignation of that hedging relationship provided that all other hedge accounting criteria continue to be met. The second amendment clarifies the requirements for assessing whether contingent call (put) options that can accelerate the payment of principal on debt instruments are clearly and closely related to their debt hosts. An entity performing the assessment is required to assess the embedded call (put) options solely in accordance with a four-step decision sequence and no longer has to assess whether the event that triggers the ability to exercise the option is related to interest rates or credit risks. Both amendments are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance related to the accounting for leases. The core principle of the guidance is that all leases create an asset and a liability for the lessee and, therefore, lease assets and lease liabilities should be recognized in the balance sheet. Lease assets will be recognized as a right-of-use asset and lease liabilities will be recognized as a liability to make lease payments. While the guidance requires all

- 85 -


leases to be recognized in the balance sheet, there continues to be a differentiation between finance leases and operating leases for purposes of income statement recognition and cash flow statement presentation. For finance leases, interest on the lease liability and amortization of the right-of-use asset will be recognized separately in the statement of income. Repayments of principal on lease liabilities will be classified within financing activities and payments of interest on the lease liability will be classified within operating activities in the statement of cash flows. For operating leases, a single lease cost is recognized in the statement of income and allocated over the lease term, generally on a straight-line basis. All cash payments are presented within operating activities in the statement of cash flows. The accounting applied by lessors is largely unchanged from existing GAAP, however, the guidance eliminates the accounting model for leveraged leases for leases that commence after the effective date of the guidance. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company occupies certain banking offices and uses certain equipment under noncancelable operating lease agreements, which currently are not reflected in its consolidated balance sheet. Such leases generally will be required to be presented in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet upon adoption of this guidance. The Company is evaluating the impact the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance related to recognition and measurement of financial assets and liabilities. The amended guidance requires that equity investments (excluding those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. An entity can elect to measure equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values at cost less impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar investment of the same issuer. The impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values is simplified by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment. When a qualitative assessment indicates impairment exists, an entity is required to measure the investment at fair value. The guidance eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet. Further, the guidance requires public entities to use the exit price when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes. The guidance also requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income, a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure a liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option. Separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and type of instrument on the balance sheet or accompanying notes to the financial statements is required. The guidance also clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. This guidance is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is evaluating the impact the guidance could have on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued amended accounting and disclosure guidance for revenue from contracts with customers. The core principle of the accounting guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract;

- 86 -


(3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The guidance also specifies the accounting for some costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer. The amended disclosure guidance requires sufficient information to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. In August 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of this guidance by one year. The amended guidance is now effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. The guidance should be applied either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying this guidance recognized at the date of initial application. The Company is still evaluating the impact the guidance could have on its consolidated financial statements.Statements.

Forward-Looking Statements

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and other sections of this quarterly report contain forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the Company’s business, management’s beliefs and assumptions made by management. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “target,” “estimate,” “continue,” “positions,” “prospects” or “potential,” by future conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” or “may,” or by variations of such words or by similar expressions. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions (“Future Factors”) which are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and the Company assumes no duty to update forward-looking statements.

Future Factors include changes in interest rates, spreads on earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and interest rate sensitivity; prepayment speeds, loan originations, credit losses and market values of loans, collateral securing loans and other assets; sources of liquidity; common shares outstanding; common stock price volatility; fair value of and number of stock-based compensation awards to be issued in future periods; the impact of changes in market values on trust-related revenues; legislation and/or regulation affecting the financial services industry as a whole, and M&T and its subsidiaries individually or collectively, including tax legislation or regulation; regulatory supervision and oversight, including monetary policy and capital requirements; changes in accounting policies or procedures as may be required by the FASB or regulatory agencies; increasing price and product/service competition by competitors, including new entrants; rapid technological developments and changes; the ability to continue to introduce competitive new products and services on a timely, cost-effective basis; the mix of products/services; containing costs and expenses; governmental and public policy changes; protection and validity of intellectual property rights; reliance on large customers; technological, implementation and cost/financial risks in large, multi-year contracts; the outcome of pending and future litigation and governmental proceedings, including tax-related examinations and other matters; continued availability of financing; financial resources in the amounts, at the times and on the terms required to support M&T and its subsidiaries’ future businesses; and material differences in the actual financial results of merger, acquisition and investment activities compared with M&T’s initial expectations, including the full realization of anticipated cost savings and revenue enhancements.

These are representative of the Future Factors that could affect the outcome of the forward-looking statements. In addition, such statements could be affected by general industry and market conditions and growth rates,

- 87 -


general economic and political conditions, either nationally or in the states in which M&T and its subsidiaries do business, including interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations, changes and trends in the securities markets, and other Future Factors.

Item 3.

Quantitative and QualitativeQualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

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.”

 

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures.

(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)), Robert G. Wilmers, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, and René F. Jones,Darren J. King, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that M&T’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2016.2017.

(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. No changes in internal control over financial reporting have been identified in connection with the evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures during the quarter ended March 31, 20162017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, M&T’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings.

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 $40 million. Although the Company does not believe that the outcome of pending litigations 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.

Wilmington Trust Corporation Investigative and Litigation Matters

M&T’s Wilmington Trust Corporation subsidiary is the subject of certain governmental investigations arising from actions undertaken by Wilmington Trust Corporation prior to M&T’s acquisition of Wilmington Trust Corporation and its subsidiaries, as set forth below.

DOJ Investigation (United States v. Wilmington Trust Corp., et al, District of Delaware, Crim.No. 15-23-RGA):Prior to M&T’s acquisition of Wilmington Trust Corporation, the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) commenced an investigation of Wilmington Trust Corporation relating to Wilmington Trust Corporation’s financial reporting and securities filings, as well as certain commercial real estate lending relationships involving its subsidiary bank, Wilmington Trust Company, all of which relate to filings and activities occurring prior to the acquisition of Wilmington Trust Corporation by M&T. On January 6, 2016, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Delaware obtained an indictment against Wilmington Trust Corporation relating to alleged conduct that occurred prior to M&T’s acquisition of Wilmington Trust Corporation in

- 93 -


May 2011. M&T strongly believes that this unprecedented action is unjustified and Wilmington Trust Corporation will vigorously defend itself.  On August 26, 2016, the Court granted

- 79 -


defendants joint motion for a continuance of the trial date.  Trial in this matter is now scheduled to begin on October 2, 2017.  Wilmington Trust Corporation and its counsel are currently involved in pretrial discovery, motion practice and trial preparation.

The indictment of Wilmington Trust Corporation could result in potential criminal remedies, or criminal or non-criminal resolutions or settlements, including, among other things, enforcement actions, potential statutory or regulatory restrictions on the ability to conduct certain businesses (for which waivers may or may not be available), fines, penalties, restitution, reputational damage or additional costs and expenses.

In Re Wilmington Trust Securities Litigation (U.S. District Court, District of Delaware, Case No. 10-CV-0990-SLR): Beginning on November 18, 2010, a series of parties, purporting to be class representatives, commenced a putative class action lawsuit against Wilmington Trust Corporation, alleging that Wilmington Trust Corporation’s financial reporting and securities filings were in violation of securities laws. The cases were consolidated and Wilmington Trust Corporation moved to dismiss. The Court issued an order denying Wilmington Trust Corporation’s motion to dismiss on March 20, 2014. Fact discovery commenced. On April 13, 2016, the Court issued an order staying fact discovery in the case pending completion of the trial inU.S. v. Wilmington Trust Corp., et al.On September 19, 2016, the plaintiffs filed a motion to modify the stay of discovery in this matter to allow for additional, limited discovery. On December 19, 2016, the Court issued an order lifting the existing stay in its entirety. Trial is scheduled to begin on June 18, 2018.

Other Matters

The Company is the subject of an investigation by government agencies relating to the origination of Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”) insured residential home loans and residential home loans sold to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. A number of other U.S. financial institutions have announced similar investigations. Regarding FHA loans, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) Office of Inspector General and the DOJ (collectively, the “Government”) are investigating whether the Company complied with underwriting guidelines concerning certain loans where HUD paid FHA insurance claims. The Company is fully cooperating with the investigation. The Government has advised the Company that based upon its review of a sample of loans for which an FHA insurance claim was paid by HUD, some of the loans do not meet underwriting guidelines. The Company, based on its own review of the sample, does not agree with the sampling methodology and loan analysis employed by the Government. Regarding loans originated by the Company and sold to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, the investigation concerns whether the mortgages sold to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae comply with applicable underwriting guidelines. The Company is also cooperating with that portion of the investigation. The investigation could lead to claims by the Government under the False Claims Act and the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989, which allow treble and other special damages substantially in excess of actual losses. Remedies in these proceedings or settlements may include restitution, fines, penalties, or alterations in the Company’s business practices. The Company and the Government continue settlement discussions regarding the investigation and although progress has been made, the parties have not yet reached a definitive agreement. Based upon the current status of these negotiations, management expects that this potential settlement should not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations in future periods.

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 1 — 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.
