M&T Bank reported a rise in profit in its latest quarter, the latest sign of reinvigorated results among banks reporting this earnings season.
The Buffalo, N.Y., bank recorded net income of $681 million, or $3.86 a share, for the fourth quarter ended Dec. 31, up from $482 million, or $2.74 a share, a year earlier.
Stripping out certain one-time items, earnings per share were $3.92 a share. Analysts polled by FactSet had expected $3.75 a share.
Net interest income came in at $1.73 billion, matching analysts' estimates. This compares to net interest income of $1.72 billion a year earlier.
Provisions for credit losses rose to $140 million from $120 million. The measure also increased for the year, which M&T attributed to a decline in commercial real estate criticized loans.
Total assets rose to $211.9 million from $208.6 million.
