M&T BANK CORPORATION ANNOUNCES 2010 FOURTH QUARTER
AND FULL-YEAR PROFITS

BUFFALO, NEW YORK — M&T Bank Corporation (“M&T”)(NYSE: MTB) today reported its results of operations for 2010.

GAAP Results of Operations. Diluted earnings per common share measured in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) rose 53% to $1.59 in the fourth quarter of 2010 from $1.04 in the fourth quarter of 2009 and were 7% higher than $1.48 in the third quarter of 2010. GAAP-basis net income in the recent quarter totaled $204 million, up from $137 million and $192 million in the year-earlier quarter and the third quarter of 2010, respectively. Expressed as an annualized rate of return on average assets and average common shareholders’ equity, GAAP-basis net income for the fourth quarter of 2010 was 1.18% and 10.03%, respectively, compared with .79% and 7.09%, respectively, in the corresponding quarter of 2009 and 1.12% and 9.56%, respectively, in the third quarter of 2010.

The recent quarter’s earnings as compared with the fourth quarter of 2009 reflect higher net interest income, resulting from a widening of the net interest margin, and a significantly lower provision for credit losses. As compared with the third quarter of 2010, a 2% decline in noninterest operating expenses and a lower provision for credit losses contributed to the recent quarter’s improved performance.

Diluted earnings per common share for the year ended December 31, 2010 were $5.69, up 97% from $2.89 for the year ended December 31, 2009. Net income for 2010 and 2009 was $736 million and $380 million, respectively. Expressed as a rate of return on average assets and average common shareholders’ equity, net income was 1.08% and 9.30%, respectively, in 2010, compared with .56% and 5.07%, respectively, in 2009.

Reflecting on M&T’s financial results, René F. Jones, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, noted, “M&T recorded strong fourth quarter results, capping off a successful year. We were encouraged by the level of our credit costs, which remained well below recent industry experience, and by late fourth quarter growth in our commercial loan and commercial real estate loan portfolios, which were up a combined $1.2 billion from September 30. Average deposits also rose by $1.7 billion, or 4%, from the third quarter. Capital generation remained robust as evidenced by our tangible common equity ratio, which rose to 6.19% at the 2010 year-end. Also noteworthy, during the recent quarter we completed the FDIC-assisted acquisition transaction with K Bank and announced our planned merger with Wilmington Trust. We are pleased with the progress achieved to date on those transactions.”

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 gains and expenses associated with merging acquired operations into M&T, since such amounts are considered by management to be “nonoperating” in nature. 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. Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP measures are provided in the financial tables included herein.

Diluted net operating earnings per common share, which exclude the impact of amortization of core deposit and other intangible assets and merger-related gains and expenses, were $1.52 in the recent quarter, compared with $1.16 in the corresponding 2009 period and $1.55 in the third quarter of 2010. Net operating income for the fourth quarters of 2010 and 2009 was $196 million and $151 million, respectively, compared with $200 million in the third quarter of 2010. For the three months ended December 31, 2010, net operating income expressed as an annualized rate of return on average tangible assets and average tangible common shareholders’ equity was 1.20% and 18.43%, respectively, compared with .92% and 16.73% in the similar period of 2009 and 1.24% and 19.58%, respectively, in the third quarter of 2010.

Diluted net operating earnings per common share rose 65% to $5.84 in 2010 from $3.54 in 2009. Net operating income for 2010 and 2009 aggregated $755 million and $455 million, respectively. Net operating income in 2010 expressed as a rate of return on average tangible assets and average tangible common shareholders’ equity was 1.17% and 18.95%, respectively, compared with .71% and 13.42%, respectively, in 2009.

Taxable-equivalent Net Interest Income. Taxable-equivalent net interest income increased 3% to $580 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 from $565 million in the year-earlier quarter, and was up an annualized 3% from $576 million in the third quarter of 2010. The growth in such income in the recent

M&T BANK CORPORATION

quarter as compared with the fourth quarter of 2009 reflects a widening of the net interest margin, which improved to 3.85% from 3.71%, partially offset by a 1% decline in average earning assets. Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis aggregated $2.29 billion for the full-year of 2010, 10% higher than $2.08 billion in 2009. That improvement resulted from lower market interest rates on deposits and borrowings that led to a 35 basis point widening of the net interest margin to 3.84% in the recent year from 3.49% in 2009.

Provision for Credit Losses/Asset Quality. The provision for credit losses was $85 million during the recently completed quarter, compared with $145 million in the corresponding 2009 period and $93 million in the third quarter of 2010. Net charge-offs of loans were $77 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, representing an annualized .60% of average loans outstanding, improved from $135 million or 1.03% in the year-earlier quarter and $93 million or .73% in 2010’s third quarter. The provision for credit losses declined 39% to $368 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 from $604 million in 2009. Net loan charge-offs in 2010 totaled $346 million, or .67% of average loans outstanding, compared with $514 million or 1.01% of average loans in 2009.

Loans classified as nonaccrual totaled $1.24 billion, or 2.38% of total loans at December 31, 2010, improved from $1.33 billion or 2.56% a year earlier, but up from $1.10 billion or 2.16% at September 30, 2010. The increase in nonaccrual loans from September 30, 2010 to December 31, 2010 was due to the additions to nonaccrual status of two commercial real estate relationships. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total loans plus real

estate and other foreclosed assets was 2.79% at December 31, 2010, compared with 2.74% and 2.53% at December 31, 2009 and September 30, 2010, respectively.

Loans past due 90 days or more and accruing interest totaled $270 million at the recent year-end, including loans guaranteed by government-related entities of $214 million. Such past due loans were $208 million and $215 million at December 31, 2009 and September 30, 2010, respectively, including $193 million and $194 million of government guaranteed loans at those respective dates.

Allowance for Credit Losses. M&T regularly performs detailed analyses of individual borrowers and portfolios for purposes of assessing the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses. Reflecting those analyses, the allowance for credit losses was $903 million at December 31, 2010, increased from $878 million a year earlier and $895 million at September 30, 2010. That allowance expressed as a percentage of outstanding loans was 1.74% at the recent quarter-end, compared with 1.69% at December 31, 2009 and 1.76% at September 30, 2010. GAAP requires that expected credit losses associated with loans obtained in an acquisition be reflected in the estimation of loan fair value as of each respective acquisition date and prohibits any carry-over of an allowance for credit losses. Excluding amounts related to loans obtained in 2009 and 2010 acquisition transactions, the allowance-to-legacy loan ratio was 1.82% and 1.83% at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and 1.86% at September 30, 2010.

Noninterest Income and Expense. Noninterest income totaled $287 million in the recent quarter, compared with $266 million and $290 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 and the third quarter of 2010, respectively. Reflected in those amounts were net

losses from investment securities of $27 million, $34 million and $8 million, each predominantly due to other-than-temporary impairment charges. Those impairment charges reduced net income and diluted earnings per common share by $17 million or $.14 in the recent quarter, $21 million or $.18 in the year-earlier quarter and $6 million or $.05 in the third quarter of 2010. Such charges reflected write-downs of certain of M&T’s holdings of privately issued collateralized mortgage obligations and collateralized debt obligations backed by pooled trust preferred securities. Excluding gains and losses from investment securities in all periods and the $28 million pre-tax merger-related gain realized on the K Bank transaction during the recent quarter, noninterest income was $286 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, compared with $300 million in the corresponding 2009 quarter and $298 million in the third quarter of 2010. The declines from the final 2009 quarter and 2010’s third quarter reflect lower residential mortgage banking revenues and service charges on deposit accounts, partially offset by higher trading account and foreign exchange gains and credit-related fees. The decline in residential mortgage banking revenues in the recent quarter reflects lower origination volumes, M&T’s decision to retain for portfolio a higher proportion of originated loans rather than selling them, and increased settlements related to M&T’s obligation to repurchase previously sold loans.

Noninterest income aggregated $1.11 billion and $1.05 billion during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Excluding gains and losses from investment securities and merger-related gains, noninterest income was $1.16 billion in each of 2010 and 2009. Declines in revenues related to residential mortgage banking, brokerage services and M&T’s trust

business were offset by higher service charges on deposit accounts, credit-related fees and other revenues from operations.

Noninterest expense in the fourth quarter of 2010 totaled $469 million, down from $478 million in the year-earlier quarter and $480 million in 2010’s third quarter. Included in such amounts are expenses considered to be nonoperating in nature consisting of amortization of core deposit and other intangible assets and merger-related expenses. Exclusive of those expenses, noninterest operating expenses were $455 million in each of the fourth quarters of 2010 and 2009, down from $467 million in the third quarter of 2010. The decline from the third quarter of 2010 reflects a $6 million reduction of the allowance for impairment of capitalized residential mortgage servicing rights in the recent quarter. In comparison, a $3 million addition to that allowance was recognized during 2010’s third quarter.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, noninterest expense aggregated $1.91 billion, compared with $1.98 billion in 2009. Excluding those expenses considered to be nonoperating in nature, noninterest operating expenses were $1.86 billion in 2010 and $1.83 billion in 2009. That increase was largely attributable to higher costs for professional services and advertising in 2010, and a $22 million reduction of the allowance for impairment of capitalized residential mortgage servicing rights in 2009. For the year ended December 31, 2010, there was no change to that impairment allowance. Partially offsetting those factors were declines in expenses related to foreclosed properties and FDIC assessments.

The efficiency ratio, or noninterest operating expenses divided by the sum of taxable-equivalent net interest income and noninterest income (exclusive of gains and losses from bank investment securities and merger-related gains), measures the relationship of operating expenses to revenues. M&T’s efficiency ratio was 52.5% in the fourth quarter of 2010, improved from 52.7% in the year-earlier quarter and 53.4% in the third quarter of 2010. M&T’s efficiency ratio for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was 53.7% and 56.5%, respectively.

Balance Sheet. M&T had total assets of $68.0 billion at December 31, 2010, compared with $68.9 billion a year earlier. Loans and leases, net of unearned discount, totaled $52.0 billion at the 2010 year-end, compared with $51.9 billion at December 31, 2009. Outstanding loans and leases at the end of 2010 grew $1.2 billion from $50.8 billion at September 30, 2010. That growth was largely attributable to December increases in commercial loans and commercial real estate loans. Total deposits were $49.8 billion at December 31, 2010, 5% higher than $47.4 billion at the end of 2009. Deposits at domestic offices rose $1.8 billion, or 4%, to $48.2 billion at the recent year-end from $46.4 billion at December 31, 2009.

Total shareholders’ equity was $8.4 billion and $7.8 billion at December 31, 2010 and 2009, representing 12.29% and 11.26% respectively, of total assets. Common shareholders’ equity was $7.6 billion, or $63.54 per share at December 31, 2010, up from $7.0 billion, or $59.31 per share, a year earlier. Tangible equity per common share was $33.26 and $28.27 at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. In the calculation of tangible equity per common share, common shareholders’ equity is reduced by the carrying values of goodwill and core deposit and other intangible assets, net of applicable deferred tax balances.

M&T’s tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio was 6.19% at December 31, 2010, compared with 5.13% and 5.96% at December 31, 2009 and September 30, 2010, respectively.
