Financial Highlights

M&T's capital position continues to strengthen as the CET1 capital ratio rose for the sixth consecutive quarter to an estimated 11.54% at September 30, 2024, representing a 9 basis point increase from 11.45% at June 30, 2024. M&T repurchased shares of its common stock for a total cost of $200 million, including the share repurchase excise tax, in the third quarter of 2024.
Net interest margin of 3.62% in the recent quarter widened from 3.59% in the second quarter of 2024 reflecting higher yields on investment securities and lower funding costs led by a decline in brokered time deposits.
Growth in average commercial and industrial loans and average consumer loans in the recent quarter was largely offset by a decline in average commercial real estate loans.
A decline in average deposits in the third quarter of 2024 as compared with the second quarter of 2024 reflects lower average brokered time deposits. The decrease in average borrowings in the recent quarter from the second quarter of 2024 primarily reflects lower average short-term borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") of New York.
The decline in provision for credit losses in the recent quarter from the second quarter of 2024 reflects lower levels of criticized commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans, partially offset by commercial and industrial and consumer loan growth.
The level of nonaccrual loans improved to 1.42% of loans outstanding at September 30, 2024 from 1.50% at June 30, 2024.

Chief Financial Officer Commentary

I am proud of how our employees have exhibited our core values as we execute on our strategic priorities."

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 and core deposit and other intangible asset balances, net of applicable deferred tax amounts) and expenses associated with merging acquired operations into M&T (when incurred), since such items are considered by management to be "nonoperating" in nature.

M&T recorded a provision for credit losses of $120 million in the third quarter of 2024 and $150 million in each of 2024's second quarter and 2023's third quarter. The lower provision for credit losses in the most recent quarter as compared with the second quarter of 2024 reflects a decline in commercial real estate and commercial and industrial criticized loans, partially offset by growth in certain sectors of M&T's commercial and industrial and consumer loan portfolios. Net charge-offs totaled $120 million in 2024's third quarter as compared with $137 million in 2024's second quarter and $96 million in the year-earlier quarter.

Nonaccrual loans were $1.9 billion at September 30, 2024, $98 million lower than at June 30, 2024 and $416 million lower than at September 30, 2023. The lower level of nonaccrual loans at the recent quarter end as compared with June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 was predominantly attributable to a decrease in commercial real estate nonaccrual loans.
