| Our third quarter results continue to reflect the strength of our core earnings power |
| We are confident in our ability to realize our potential post-merger |
| As we noted on the previous calls, a key driver to net interest income continues to be the ability to efficiently fund earning asset growth |
| Our strong shareholder returns include 15% to 20% return on tangible common equity and robust dividend growth |
| And importantly, this approach continues to produce strong results for our shareholders |
| Our local scale has led to superior credit performance, top deposit share and high operating and capital efficiency over the long-term |
| It’s not going anywhere, but we just want to continue to make sure that we’re strong and can grow and serve our customers right now |
| The strength of our balance sheet is extraordinary |
| When M&T, of course has developed a reputation as being a very strong underwriter, you got the numbers to prove it |
| Our investment in enhancing the customer experience and delivering impactful products, have fueled organic growth |
| I think M&T has a great track record of acquiring bank over time |
| Our businesses are performing very well, and we are growing new relationships each and every day |
| But right now, we have strong capital, strong liquidity, which has been really helpful for us since the March-April timeframe, and we will continue to operate and be a strong supporter of our customers and communities that we serve |
| If you look at our RV and loan portfolio, that was up approximately 250 basis points of what was rolling off from on, so I think once we get more stability in the disintermediation of deposits, I’m more favorable and the margins stabilizing |
| In the meantime, our strong balance sheet will continue to differentiate us from our clients, communities, regulators, investors and rating agencies |
| Our determined focus on retaining and growing customer deposits yielded positive results during the quarter |
| We continue to grow customer deposits despite increasing competition and building on the strong liquidity position and comparative strength of our financial position in the industry allows us to continue lending in support of communities and local businesses |
| We have the benefit that we have some really long-term customers that have been with M&T for a long period of time, and we try to bank the people that are really top in market in all the markets that we serve |
| We have a long track record of credit outperforming through all economic cycles with growth about 2x that of peers |
| But I think we feel pretty good on where we are |
| We’ve been very good with commercial real estate for a long time, and we are on top of where we are |
| M&T has proven to be a safe haven for clients and communities |
| We have sound technology solutions, coupled with caring employees, which provide a differentiated client experience |
| Average earning assets increased $1.5 billion from the linked quarter, due largely to the strong deposit growth that drove the $3 billion growth at the Fed |
| We continue to focus on growing deposits with our customers and we are pleased with the growth in both average and end-of-period customer deposits |
| And it’s also for us to actually have an opportunity to continue to grow organic growth in our commercial and consumer books and our trust folks as well |
| M&T has always been a purpose-driven organization with successful business model that benefits all stakeholders, including shareholders |
| In the third quarter, the overall economy continued to expand, thanks to the strong consumer spending and steady capital expenditures by businesses, though the housing market continues to struggle in the high-rate environment |
| Our large corporate banking, I think has some growth opportunities where we are positioned there |
| Daryl Bible I think we have the strong position at the Fed that’s intentional for us right now |

| Taxable equivalent net interest income was $1.79 billion in the third quarter, down $23 million from linked quarter |
| The net interest margin for the past quarter was 3.79%, down 12 basis points from linked quarter |
| On Slide 10, you will see that diluted GAAP earnings per share, was down 21% from linked quarter |
| Excluding this gain, GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share were down 3% compared to the linked quarter |
| And really what drove the increase was really softness in some of the asset values in the CRE portfolio is what we were seeing and thought it made sense to add some more reserves in those |
| And so we are not necessarily concerned about what you guys are doing specifically, but we just worry about the competitors doing foolish and stupid things that then end up having a second derivative effect on your sound underwriting decisions |
| But right now, the economy is still kind of unpredictable rates higher for long go, we will probably continue to have stress on clients over the next couple of quarters if that actually comes to fruition |
| And I guess just moving maybe give us a mark-to-market in terms of commercial real estate, what you’re seeing around there is some concern whether if we go into next year, given what the yield curve has done, we might see some more pressure flow beyond CRE office into multifamily |
| This brings our year-to-date net charge-off rate to 30 basis points, which is below our long-term average of 33 basis points |
| The primary drivers of the decrease to the margin were an unfavorable deposit mix shift, which reduced margin by 7 basis points; the net impact from higher interest rates on customer deposits, net benefit from higher rates on earning assets which we estimate reduced the margin by 6 basis points |
| But it was really just a little bit of softness in some valuations |
| The interest rates definitely make it a little bit more challenging now just because of the impact on capital |
| Excluding this gain, third quarter non-interest income decreased $18 million compared to the second quarter driven predominantly by $15 million related to one month of the CIT trust revenues included in the previous quarter |
| Average residential real estate was $23.6 billion, down 1%, largely due to portfolio pay-downs |
| And we understand in talking to your peers and others that the interest rate marks make it very difficult for M&A today |
| But right now, the higher interest rates are just putting a lot of our commercial clients to be a little bit more cautious |
| Net charge-offs decreased in the third quarter and year-to-date, we still remain below the historical long-term average |
| But are there any concerns that you see non-bank lenders or other bank lenders doing or have done things in the last 18 months to 24 months on the lending side and make it a little nervous, or are we just in a new playing field |
| Average loans declined $928 million and average investment securities declined $630 million |
| Non-interest expenses were $1.28 billion in the third quarter of this year, down $15 million from the linked quarter |
