BancAnalysts Association of Boston Conference Presentation November 9, 2018 Exhibit 99.1


Slide 2

This presentation contains forward- looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 giving M&T Bank Corporation’s (“M&T”) expectations or predictions of future financial or business performance or conditions. 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 forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties which change over time. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and we assume no duty to update forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from current projections. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties. A number of factors, many of which are beyond M&T’s control, could cause our actual results, events or developments, or industry results to be materially different from any future results, events or developments expressed, implied or anticipated by such forward-looking statements and so our business and financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. In addition to factors previously disclosed in M&T’s reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and those identified elsewhere in this document, the following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements or historical performance: changes in asset quality and credit risk; the inability to sustain revenue and earnings growth; changes in interest rates and capital markets; inflation; customer acceptance of M&T products and services; customer borrowing, repayment, investment and deposit practices; customer disintermediation; the introduction, withdrawal, success and timing of business initiatives; competitive pressures; the inability to realize cost savings, revenues or other benefits, or to implement integration plans and other consequences associated with mergers, acquisitions and divestitures; general economic conditions and weakening in the economy; deteriorating credit quality; political developments, wars or other hostilities may disrupt or increase volatility in securities markets or other economic conditions; changes in accounting policies or procedures; significant litigation; and the impact, extent and timing of technological changes, capital management activities, and other actions of the Federal Reserve Board and other legislative and regulatory actions and reforms. Annualized, pro forma, projected and estimated numbers are used for illustrative purposes only, are not forecasts and may not reflect actual results. Disclaimer

Key Ratios Notes: The Efficiency Ratio and Pre-provision Net Revenue are non-GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures is available in the appendix. The Efficiency Ratio reflects non-interest expense (excluding amortization expense associated with intangible assets and merger-related expenses) as a percentage of fully taxable equivalent net interest income and non-interest revenues (excluding gains or losses from securities transactions and merger-related gains). Excludes merger-related gains and expenses and amortization expense associated with intangible assets. Annual and quarterly PPNR to Risk Weighted Assets calculated using average of quarterly reported RWA balances for 2017 and 2018. Average RWA is calculated using the average of year end balances for 2012-2016. For periods prior to 2015, reflects Tier 1 Common ratios under Basel I standards. 3Q ‘18 RWA uses preliminary disclosed balances with estimated average RWA balances.

Revenue growth and lower regulatory expenses support funding strategic initiatives while improving overall profitability Operating Efficiency Ratio Operating Leverage (bps) Investments Aligned with Revenue Growth Notes: Noninterest operating expenses and the operating efficiency ratio are non-GAAP financial measures. The calculation of total revenue excludes securities gains/losses, and merger-related gains. This is consistent with the denominator calculation in our defined operating efficiency ratio calculation. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures is available in the appendix. Operating leverage is measured as the change in total revenue minus the change in noninterest operating expense. (1) Operating noninterest expenses includes $50 million in legal related expenses in 3Q17. Excluding the $50 million in 3Q17 operating results would result in a 2.9% increase in operating noninterest expense and 217 basis points in positive operating leverage for 3Q18 Y/Y. Operating Leverage (132) (585) 231 366 196 861 56.0% 59.3% 58.0% 56.1% 55.1% 51.4% (1)

Key Metrics Relative to Peers Notes: The Efficiency Ratio and Pre-provision Net Revenue are non-GAAP financial measures.

Excludes merger-related gains and expenses and amortization expense associated with intangible assets. Risk-Weighted Assets for 3Q ‘18 are preliminary.
