14 H1 2009 Results

15 Financial Overview Profitable in every quarter of the last 33 years Expenses were contained Deposits continued to grow Credit costs held up well on a relative basis Successfully closed and converted Provident Challenging macroeconomic climate continued Experienced weak loan demand

16 June 2009 YTD Summary ($ in millions, except per share data) 1) Excludes merger-related expenses and amortization expense associated with intangible assets. Intangible Amortization net of tax: 2008 YTD = $21.3MM, 2009 YTD = $18.6MM. Merger-related expenses net of tax: 2008 YTD = $2.2MM, 2009 YTD = $41.8MM. 10 of 15 peer banks reported losses for the first half of 2009 M&T is one of only 3 peer banks to report a profit in every quarter of 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009

17 Key Ratios Efficiency Ratio reflects non-interest expense (excluding amortization expense associated with intangible assets, merger-related expenses and other non-recurring expenses) as a percentage of fully taxable equivalent net interest income and non-interest revenues (excluding gains from securities transactions and non-recurring items). Allowance to legacy M&T loans. Per SFAS No. 141R and SOP 03-3, Provident loans were marked to fair value at acquisition with no related reserves.

18 M&T's focus on returns and relationships rather than volumes allows it to maintain a slight advantage over the peer group Note: Taxable Equivalent net interest margin used for M&T and for peer banks when available. Net Interest Margin %

20 Credit Quality vs. Peer Banks

21 Historically, M&T's Nonaccrual ratio has closely tracked the peer median. However, there is a favorable divergence in the current cycle Historically, M&T's NCO ratio has been lower than the peers. The out-performance is even more pronounced in the current cycle Source: SNL Interactive. FR Y9C data used. Historical Credit Cycle: 1991 - Q2 2009

22 Loan Mix and Credit Quality - June 2009 YTD Source: SNL Interactive. FR Y9C data used. M&T's stable geographic footprint and conservative underwriting has resulted in one of the lowest loss rates in most loan categories........ .....and among the lowest overall delinquency rates (pipeline for potential charge-offs)

23 Commercial Credit Quality vs Peers Source: SNL Interactive. FR Y9C data as of June 30, 2009. MTB's CRE concentration has remained stable as the industry has ramped up exposure Peers have grown CRE concentrations 3x more than MTB over the last 10 years Disciplined credit underwriting with a focus on core credit principals: Long institutional memory with senior management involvement in all large relationships Maintained consistent underwriting standards Did not underwrite to anticipatory values Focused on cash flow

24 Consumer Credit Quality vs Peers Source: SNL Interactive. FR Y9C data as of June 30, 2009.

25 M&T's geographies and underwriting are keys to out- performance HPI decline in M&T footprint significantly lower than national average Limited exposure to highly stressed markets of Florida, California, Nevada and Arizona Early intervention in stressed asset classes Reduced originations in 2005 & 2006 of several stressed asset classes in response to unacceptable underwriting standards and pricing (e.g. Commercial Real Estate and Indirect Auto) M&T's loss experience has diverged materially from the industry Key Points

26 MTB: A Solid Investment

27 M&T Bank Corporation... a solid investment Nearly 18% annual growth in operating earnings per share since 1983 >16% annualized total return to shareholders since 1983* MTB's stock has outperformed the Standard & Poor's Bank Index by 17%, 30% and 89% over the past 3, 5 and 10-year periods, respectively* *As of August 31, 2009
