Cash distributions now received from BLG are recognized as income by M&T and included in "other revenues from operations" in the Consolidated Statement of Income. That income totaled $25 million and $20 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. There were no cash distributions during the three-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
