ITEMS 2.02 and 7.01	RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION AND REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE

Comerica Incorporated (“Comerica”) today released its earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 and announced details of its “GEAR Up” initiative. A copy of the press release and the presentation slides which will be discussed on Comerica's webcast earnings call are filed herewith as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively, and a copy of a fact sheet related to the initiative is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.3.

The information reported in Items 2.02, 7.01 and 9.01 of this report (including Exhibits 99.1, 99.2 and 99.3 hereto) is being "furnished" and shall not be deemed "filed" for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is not subject to the liabilities of that section and is not deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.


ITEM 2.05	COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH EXIT OR DISPOSAL ACTIVITIES

In April 2016, Comerica announced the launch of a comprehensive review of its expense and revenue base with the objective to meaningfully enhance profitability, resulting in the Growth in Efficiency and Revenue (“GEAR Up”) initiative.

On July 19, 2016, Comerica announced initial actions related to the initiative. These actions consist of expected revenue enhancements (through expanded product offerings, enhanced sales tools and training, re-aligned employee incentives and enhanced customer analytics to drive opportunities) and expense reductions (through a reduction in workforce, streamlining of operational processes, real estate optimization including consolidating banking centers, selective outsourcing of technology functions and reduction of technology system applications). These initial actions are expected to be completed by year-end 2018, but full run-rate savings is expected to be recognized over a longer time horizon. Comerica committed to these actions in June 2016, but is still in the process of finalizing certain aspects of the initiative, including notifying some of the impacted employees.

The following table provides a summary of restructuring charges recorded in second quarter 2016 relating to the initial actions under the GEAR Up initiative:



Type of Cost	Amount (in millions)
Severance-related expenses	$	46
Professional services and other charges	$	7

Related to the initial GEAR Up initiative, Comerica expects to incur estimated total restructuring charges in the range of $140 - $160 million (pre-tax) through 2018 (including the restructuring charges already recorded in second quarter 2016). The following table provides a summary of Comerica's estimated restructuring charges (pre-tax) by major type of cost:



Type of Cost	Amount (in millions)
Employee-related expenses (cash severance payments)	$65 - $70
Facilities expenses
Non-cash (such as accelerated depreciation, facilities charges and impairments)	$10 - $11
Cash (such as decommission costs, remaining lease obligations and lease termination charges)	$25 - $29
Technology expenses (including non-cash impairments)	$10 - $15
Professional services and other charges (cash)	$30 - $35

The initial GEAR Up initiative includes approximately $140 million in pre-tax benefits expected to be achieved by fiscal year-end 2017 and an anticipated annual run-rate benefit of approximately $230 million by year-end 2018. Management will continue to identify additional opportunities to further enhance profitability.

Comerica will amend this Current Report on Form 8-K, or disclose in another periodic filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, its commitment to further parts of the initiative within the timelines required by Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations.

The GEAR Up initiative is ongoing and the actual total costs and timing of the actions identified to-date may vary from those estimated due to changes in the scope or assumptions underlying the initiative.

COMERICA REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2016 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Launched Growth in Efficiency and Revenue Initiative

Actions Identified To-Date Expected to Drive an Additional $230 Million

in Annual Pre-Tax Income by Year-End 2018

Related Estimated Total Pre-Tax Restructuring Charges of $140 Million to $160 Million

Net Income of $104 Million or 58 Cents Per Share

Includes After-Tax Impact of Restructuring Charge of $34 Million, or 19 Cents Per Share

Average Loan Growth of $1.1 Billion, or 2 Percent, Compared to First Quarter 2016

DALLAS/July 19, 2016 -- Comerica Incorporated (NYSE: CMA) today reported second quarter 2016 net income of $104 million, compared to $60 million for the first quarter 2016 and $135 million for the second quarter 2015. Earnings per diluted share were 58 cents for second quarter 2016 compared to 34 cents for first quarter 2016 and 73 cents for second quarter 2015. Comerica also announced the implementation of its efficiency and revenue initiative ("GEAR Up"), which is expected to drive additional annual pre-tax income of approximately $230 million by year-end 2018 from the actions identified to-date. Second quarter results include after-tax restructuring charges of $34 million, or 19 cents per share, associated with the initial phase of this initiative.

"Our second quarter results were solid with a $1.1 billion increase in average loans, improved credit quality in our energy portfolio as well as increases in most fee-based noninterest income categories,” said Ralph W. Babb, Jr., chairman and chief executive officer. "Noninterest expenses were well controlled. Through share repurchases of $65 million and an increase in our dividend, we returned $103 million to shareholders in the second quarter 2016, compared to $79 million in the first quarter.”

Growth in Efficiency and Revenue Initiative

"Based on our initial extensive review, we are announcing the actions we are taking through Gear Up that are expected to deliver additional annual pre-tax income of approximately $230 million by year-end 2018. This initiative fundamentally transforms the way we operate to drive further efficiency and revenue growth. We are confident the initiative will improve profitability, despite current market conditions and a tough banking environment," said Babb. "We expect our efficiency ratio to improve, declining to the low 60 percent range by the end of 2017, and at or below 60 percent by year-end 2018, without any increase in interest rates. The initial actions will take us a long way to achieving a double-digit return on equity and enhanced shareholder value. Management will continue to identify additional opportunities to further enhance profitability."


•	Revenue enhancements expected to be approximately $30 million by year-end 2017, which increase to approximately $70 million by year-end 2018, through expanded product offerings, enhanced sales tools and training, re-aligned employee incentives and enhanced customer analytics to drive opportunities.

•

Expense reductions targeted to be approximately $110 million, which increases to approximately $160 million by year-end 2018. This is to be achieved through an approximately 9 percent reduction in workforce, streamlining operational processes, real estate optimization including consolidating about 40 banking centers, selective outsourcing of technology functions and reduction of technology system applications.


•	Pre-tax restructuring charges of $140 million to $160 million in total are expected to be incurred through 2018.


•	For further information, see the accompanying Fact Sheet.

Second Quarter 2016 Compared to First Quarter 2016

Average total loans increased $1.1 billion, or 2 percent, to $49.5 billion.


•	Primarily reflected continued growth in Commercial Real Estate and seasonal increases in Mortgage Banker Finance and National Dealer Services; partially offset by an expected decline in Energy. The growth in Commercial Real Estate primarily reflected construction draws and term financing, mainly with existing customers who are proven developers on projects with favorable risk profiles.


•	Period-end total loans increased $1.0 billion to $50.4 billion.

Average total deposits decreased $187 million to $56.5 billion.


•	Driven by a $511 million decrease in interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by a $324 million increase in noninterest-bearing deposits.


•	Average total deposits increased seasonally in the Retail Bank; this was more than offset by a seasonal decrease in Municipalities and purposeful pricing in Corporate Banking.


•	Period-end deposits were unchanged at $56.4 billion.

Net interest income decreased $2 million to $445 million.


•	Primarily the result of the impact of nonaccrual loans and higher funding costs, partially offset by the benefit from the increase in average loans.

The provision for credit losses decreased $99 million to $49 million.


•	Net credit-related charge-offs were $47 million, or 0.38 percent of average loans, compared to $58 million, or 0.49 percent, in the first quarter 2016. Energy net credit-related charge-offs were $32 million compared to $42 million in the first quarter 2016.


•	The allowance for loan losses increased $5 million to $729 million, or 1.45 percent of total loans. The reserve allocation for Energy exceeded 8 percent of loans in the Energy business line.

Noninterest income increased $23 million to $269 million.


•	Noninterest income increased $13 million, or 5 percent, excluding a $10 million increase in deferred compensation asset returns (offset by an increase in deferred compensation plan expense in noninterest expense).


•	Fee-based income increased $11 million, primarily attributed to increases of $3 million each in card fees, fiduciary income and customer derivative income, as well as a $2 million increase in commercial lending fees. The increase in commercial lending fees resulted primarily from higher syndication agent fees.

COMERICA REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2016 FINANCIAL RESULTS - 3

Noninterest expenses increased $59 million to $519 million.


•	Second quarter restructuring charges of $53 million related to the initiatives previously discussed included $46 million of severance-related expenses and $7 million of professional services and other charges.

•

Excluding the $53 million restructuring charge, noninterest expenses increased $6 million, primarily including a $10 million increase in deferred compensation plan expense (offset by an increase in deferred compensation asset returns in noninterest income), partially offset by an $8 million gain from the sale of leased assets, as well as increases of $5 million in outside processing fees, $3 million in FDIC insurance premiums and $2 million in advertising expense.


•	Salaries and benefits expense decreased $1 million, primarily reflecting seasonal decreases in share-based compensation and payroll taxes, partially offset by the $10 million increase in deferred compensation plan expense noted above, the impact of merit increases, a seasonal increase in 401(k) contributions and incentive compensation tied to revenue growth.

Capital position remained solid at June 30, 2016.


•	Repurchased approximately 1.5 million shares of common stock under the equity repurchase program.


•	Including dividends, returned a total of $103 million to shareholders.


•	Dividend increased 5 percent to 22 cents per share.

•

As announced on June 29, 2016, the Federal Reserve did not object to Comerica’s 2016 capital plan which includes equity repurchases up to $440 million for the four-quarter period ending in the second quarter 2017. The timing and ultimate amount of equity repurchases will be subject to various factors, including the Company’s capital position, financial performance and market conditions, including interest rates. Restructuring charges associated with the GEAR Up initiative are not expected to impact the pace of repurchases. In addition, at its meeting on July 26, 2016, Comerica's board of directors will consider increasing the quarterly dividend to 23 cents per common share.

Second Quarter 2016 Compared to Second Quarter 2015

Average total loans increased $636 million, or 1 percent.


•	Primarily reflected continued growth in Commercial Real Estate and National Dealer Services, partially offset by declines in Energy and general Middle Market.

Average total deposits decreased $877 million, or 2 percent.


•	Primarily driven by decreases in Municipalities, Corporate Banking and the Financial Services Division.

Net interest income increased $24 million, or 6 percent.


•	Primarily due to higher yields on loans and Federal Reserve Bank deposits, as well as earning asset growth; partially offset by an increase in funding costs.

The provision for credit losses increased $2 million, or 5 percent.

Noninterest income increased $11 million, or 4 percent.

•

Excluding a $4 million increase in deferred compensation asset returns, noninterest income increased $7 million, or 3 percent. Fee-based income increased $6 million, primarily reflecting an $8 million increase in card fees, mostly due to increased revenue from merchant payment processing services and government card programs, and smaller increases in most other fee-based categories; partially offset by a decrease of $4 million in investment banking fees.

Noninterest expense increased $86 million.

•

Noninterest expense increased $3 million excluding the second quarter 2016 restructuring charges of $53 million and the impact of a $30 million net release of litigation reserves in second quarter 2015. The remaining increase primarily reflected increases of $6 million in software expense and $5 million in FDIC insurance premiums, partially offset by a decrease of $4 million in salaries and benefits and an $8 million benefit from the sale of leased assets in the second quarter 2016.


◦	Salaries and benefits expense primarily reflected decreases of $8 million in pension expense and $4 million in share-based compensation, partially offset by a $4 million increase in deferred compensation plan expense (offset by an increase in deferred compensation asset

returns in noninterest income) and an increase of $4 million in regular salaries, mostly due to the impact of merit raises.

Total noninterest-bearing deposits	28,376			28,052			27,365
Medium- and long-term debt	5,072			3,093			2,661

Net interest income decreased $2 million to $445 million in the second quarter 2016, compared to the first quarter 2016.

•

Interest on loans was unchanged, as the benefit from an increase in average loan balances (+$8 million) was offset by a decrease in yields. The decrease in loan yields primarily reflected lower nonaccrual interest recoveries in the second quarter 2016, the impact of a negative residual value adjustment to assets in the leasing portfolio and the full-quarter impact of loans transferred to nonaccrual in the first quarter 2016.


•	Interest expense on debt increased $3 million, primarily due to higher funding costs from new Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) borrowings during the quarter.

The net interest margin of 2.74 percent decreased 7 basis points compared to the first quarter 2016, primarily due to the impact of increased FHLB borrowings (-2 basis points), lower loan yields (-4 basis points) and an increase in lower-yielding Federal Reserve Bank deposit balances (-1 basis point). The impact of lower loan yields included -3 basis points related to nonaccrual loans.

Credit Quality

“Energy loans continue to decline as expected, with a $356 million decrease since the end of the first quarter, as our customers continue to take the necessary actions to reduce their bank debt. We have completed 88 percent of the spring redeterminations for our E&P customers, and borrowing bases have come down about 22 percent on average. Criticized energy loans have declined $281 million to 57 percent of energy loans as of the end of the second quarter,” said Babb. “While oil and gas prices have improved, we remain cautious and believe with our reserve allocation at over 8 percent of energy loans as of June 30, we are adequately reserved. Credit quality in the remainder of the portfolio remains strong.”

•	Energy business line loans were $2.7 billion at June 30, 2016 compared to $3.1 billion at March 31, 2016.


◦	Criticized Energy loans decreased $281 million, to $1.6 billion, including a $77 million decrease in nonaccrual loans.


◦	Energy net charge-offs were $32 million, compared to $42 million in the first quarter 2016.


◦	The reserve allocation for loans in the Energy business line exceeded 8 percent at June 30, 2016, up slightly compared to March 31, 2016.


•	Net charge-offs decreased $11 million to $47 million, or 0.38 percent of average loans, in the second quarter 2016, compared to $58 million, or 0.49 percent, in the first quarter 2016. Aside from Energy, net charge-offs were $15 million, or 13 basis points, for the remainder of the portfolio.


•	During the second quarter 2016, $107 million of borrower relationships over $2 million were transferred to nonaccrual status, a decrease of $339 million compared to $446 million transferred during the first quarter. Second quarter 2016 transfers to nonaccrual included $51 million from Energy, compared to $349 million in the first quarter.


•	Criticized loans decreased $377 million to $3.6 billion at June 30, 2016, compared to $3.9 billion at March 31, 2016, primarily as a result of the decrease in criticized Energy loans. Criticized loans are generally consistent with the Special Mention, Substandard and Doubtful categories defined by regulatory authorities.

Full-Year 2016 Outlook

Management expectations for full-year 2016 compared to full-year 2015, assuming a continuation of the current economic and low-rate environment, are as follows.


•	Average loans modestly higher, in line with Gross Domestic Product growth, reflecting a continued decline in Energy more than offset by increases in most other lines of business. Seasonality in National Dealer Services, Mortgage Banker and Middle Market to impact the second half of the year.


•	Net interest income higher, primarily reflecting the benefits from the December 2015 short-term rate increase, loan growth and a larger securities portfolio.


•	Provision for credit losses higher, reflecting the first quarter 2016 reserve build for Energy, with net charge-offs for the remainder of the year between 35 basis points and 45 basis points. Additional reserve changes dependent on developments in the oil and gas sector. Continued solid credit quality in the remainder of the portfolio, with metrics, absent Energy, better than historical norms.


•	Noninterest income modestly higher, with continued focus on cross-sell opportunities, including card, fiduciary and brokerage services offset by lower market-driven fees, including commercial lending fees, investment banking fees, derivative income and warrant income. Benefits from GEAR Up expected to begin in early 2017.

•

Noninterest expenses higher, with an estimated $90 million to $110 million in restructuring expense, related GEAR Up expense savings of approximately $20 million, increased outside processing in line with growing revenue, higher FDIC insurance expense in part due to regulatory surcharge, and typical inflationary pressures. Additionally, 2015 benefited from $33 million in legal reserve releases, which is offset by lower pension expense in 2016.


•	Income tax expense to approximate 30 percent of pre-tax income.

(a)	Included restructuring charge of $26 million in the second quarter 2016.


•	Average loans increased $1.0 billion, primarily reflecting increases in Commercial Real Estate, Mortgage Banker Finance and National Dealer Services, partially offset by a decrease in Energy.


•	Average deposits decreased $679 million, primarily reflecting decreases in Municipalities and Corporate Banking, partially offset by an increase in Mortgage Banker Finance.

•

Net interest income decreased $7 million, primarily reflecting the impact of an increase in net funds transfer pricing (FTP) charges and lower loan yields, largely due to the impact of nonaccrual loans and a negative residual value adjustment to assets in the leasing portfolio, partially offset by the benefit from the increase in average loans. The increase in net FTP charges primarily reflected an increase in the cost of funds as well as lower funding credits due to the decrease in average deposits.


•	The provision for credit losses decreased $105 million, primarily reflecting a decrease in Energy, partially offset by increases in Commercial Real Estate, National Dealer Services, and Technology and Life Sciences.


•	Noninterest income increased $7 million, primarily due to increases in syndication agent fees, card fees and customer derivative income.


•	Noninterest expenses increased $15 million, primarily due to second quarter 2016 restructuring charges. Excluding restructuring charges, noninterest expenses decreased $11 million, primarily reflecting an $8 million gain from the sale of leased assets and a decrease in salaries and benefits expense, partially offset by an increase in outside processing fees tied to revenue generating activities.

Geographic Market Segments

Comerica also provides market segment results for three primary geographic markets: Michigan, California and Texas. In addition to the three primary geographic markets, Other Markets is also reported as a market segment. Other Markets includes Florida, Arizona, the International Finance division and businesses that have a significant presence outside of the three primary geographic markets. The tables below present the geographic market results based on the methodologies in effect at June 30, 2016.

The following table presents net income (loss) by market segment.

(a) Includes items not directly associated with the geographic markets.

•

Average loans increased $689 million in Other Markets, primarily reflecting an increase in Mortgage Banker Finance; $425 million in California, primarily reflecting increases in Commercial Real Estate and National Dealer Services; and $77 million in Texas, mostly due to increases in Commercial Real Estate and Private Banking, partially offset by a decrease in Energy. Average loans decreased $114 million in Michigan.


•	Average deposits decreased $322 million in Texas and $143 million in Michigan, with both markets primarily reflecting decreases in Municipalities and Corporate Banking, partially offset by an increase in Retail Banking. Average deposits increased $279 million in California, reflecting increases in most lines of business.

•

Net interest income decreased $9 million in Michigan and $4 million in Texas, and increased $1 million in California. The decrease in Michigan primarily reflected a decrease in loan yields, largely due to the impact of the negative residual value adjustment to assets in the leasing portfolio and lower nonaccrual interest recoveries in the second quarter, lower FTP credits resulting from a decrease in average deposits, and the impact of a decrease in average loans. The decrease in Texas primarily reflected lower FTP credits resulting from a decrease in average deposits and lower loan yields, largely due to the full quarter impact of loans transferred to nonaccrual in the first quarter 2016 and a decrease in accretion on the acquired loan portfolio. In California, the benefit from an increase in average loans was partially offset by an increase in net FTP charges, reflecting an increase in the cost of funds and a decrease in the deposit crediting rate.

•

The provision for credit losses decreased $137 million in Texas, and increased $23 million California and $9 million in Michigan. The decrease in Texas primarily reflected the impact of the reserve build for Energy in the first quarter 2016. In California, the increased provision primarily reflected increases in National Dealer Services, Private Banking and general Middle Market. The increase in Michigan primarily reflected an increased provision in Commercial Real Estate.


•	Noninterest income increased $5 million in Michigan, $1 million in Texas and $1 million in California. The increase in Michigan was primarily due to the impact of a securities loss in the first quarter 2016, an increase in customer derivative income and smaller increases in several other categories.


•	Noninterest expenses increased $16 million in California, $13 million in Texas and $8 million in Michigan. Excluding restructuring charges, noninterest expenses were unchanged in California, and decreased $2 million in Texas and $7 million in Michigan. The decrease in Michigan primarily reflected an $8 million gain from the sale of leased assets in the second quarter.
