25. Relationship with BLG and Bayview Financial

M&T holds a 20% minority interest in BLG, a privately-held commercial mortgage company. That investment had no remaining carrying value at December 31, 2023 as a result of cumulative losses recognized and cash distributions received in prior years. Cash distributions now received from BLG are recognized as income by M&T and included in other revenues from operations. That income totaled $20 million in 2023, compared with $30 million in each of 2022 and 2021.

Bayview Financial, a privately-held specialty finance company, is BLG’s majority investor. In addition to their common investment in BLG, the Company and Bayview Financial conduct other business activities with each other. The Company has obtained loan servicing rights for mortgage loans from BLG and Bayview Financial having outstanding principal balances of $1.2 billion and $1.4 billion at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Revenues from those servicing rights were $6 million, $8 million and $9 million during 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company sub-services residential mortgage loans for Bayview Financial having outstanding principal balances of $115.3 billion and $96.0 billion at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Revenues earned for sub-servicing loans for Bayview Financial were $125 million, $154 million and $153 million in 2023,

2022 and 2021, respectively. In addition, the Company held $42 million and $50 million of mortgage-backed securities in its held-to-maturity portfolio at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, that were securitized by Bayview Financial.

In 2021 the Company purchased $965 million of delinquent government guaranteed mortgage loans, including past due accrued interest, from Bayview Financial for $1.0 billion.
