M&T Bank Corp. (NYSE: MTB) earned $148 million in the fourth quarter, down from $204 million a year earlier.
Earnings per share in the period totaled $1.04, down from $1.59 in the fourth quarter of 2010.
A $79 million charge related to M&T’s investment in Bayview Lending Group and $25 million in charges related to certain mortgage-backed investment securities helped push profits down, according to M&T. The bank also received $55 million in cash related to a lawsuit settlement during the quarter and made a $30 million contribution to the M&T Charitable Foundation.
Those four items cut profit by $48 million, or 38 cents a share, M&T said.
M&T Bank, based in Buffalo, has $77.9 billion in assets and 780 branch offices in New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, New Jersey, Delaware, Florida, Washington, D.C., and Ontario, Canada.
