"Our third quarter results demonstrate the benefits of our geographic and business line diversity. ” said Ralph W. Babb, Jr., chairman and chief executive officer. "Average loans grew $1.8 billion, or 4 percent, and deposits were up $4.0 billion, or 7 percent, compared to a year ago.

"Net interest income remained stable compared to the second quarter and noninterest income increased $3 million, or 1 percent, including growth in card fees, an area of increased focus for us. We continued to tightly manage expenses in the third quarter, even while faced with rising technology and regulatory costs. Overall

credit quality remained strong. As far as loans related to energy^(a), we saw negative migration; however, as expected, net charge-offs continued to be low and nonaccruals increased a modest $7 million.

"Our capital position is solid,” said Babb. "Stock repurchases under our equity repurchase program, combined with dividends, returned $96 million to shareholders in the third quarter. Our Trusted Advisor approach to relationship banking continues to make a positive difference as we remain focused on the long term."

Third Quarter 2015 Compared to Second Quarter 2015


•	Average total loans increased $139 million to $49.0 billion, with increases in Technology and Life Sciences and Commercial Real Estate offset by decreases in Corporate Banking, general Middle Market and Energy. Period-end total loans decreased $799 million, to $48.9 billion, largely driven by seasonal decreases in Mortgage Banker Finance and general Middle Market.


•	Average total deposits increased $1.7 billion, or 3 percent, to $59.1 billion, primarily driven by a $1.3 billion increase in noninterest-bearing deposits. Average total deposits increased in almost all lines of business. Period-end total deposits increased $508 million to $58.8 billion.


•	Net interest income increased $1 million to $422 million compared to second quarter 2015. The benefits from one additional day in the quarter and increases in average earning assets were largely offset by an increase in interest expense on debt and lower loan yields.

•

The allowance for loan losses increased $4 million compared to June 30, 2015, primarily due to increases in reserves related to Technology and Life Sciences and energy exposure, partially offset by lower loan balances and improved credit quality in the remainder of the portfolio. Net charge-offs were $23 million, or 0.19 percent of average loans, in the third quarter 2015, compared to $18 million, or 0.15 percent, in the second quarter 2015. As a result, the provision for credit losses was $26 million for the third quarter 2015.


•	Noninterest income increased $3 million in the third quarter 2015, including a $3 million increase in card fees.


•	Noninterest expenses increased $25 million in the third quarter 2015, primarily reflecting a $3 million net release of litigation reserves in the third quarter 2015, compared to a net release of $30 million in the second quarter 2015.


•	Capital remained solid at September 30, 2015, as evidenced by an estimated common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 10.58 percent and a tangible common equity ratio of 9.91 percent.


•	Comerica repurchased approximately 1.2 million shares of common stock under the equity repurchase program, which, together with dividends, returned $96 million to shareholders.

Third Quarter 2015 Compared to Third Quarter 2014


•	Average total loans increased $1.8 billion, or 4 percent, primarily reflecting increases in almost all lines of business, partially offset by a $400 million decrease in Corporate Banking.


•	Average total deposits increased $4.0 billion, or 7 percent, primarily driven by increases of $3.3 billion in noninterest-bearing deposits and $1.2 billion in money market and NOW deposits, partially offset by a decrease of $592 million in customer certificates of deposit. Average deposits increased in almost all lines of business and across all markets.


•	Net interest income increased $8 million, largely due to earning asset growth, partially offset by a $4 million increase in interest expense on debt.


•	The provision for credit losses increased $21 million, primarily due to increases in reserves related to Technology and Life Sciences and energy exposure.


•	Excluding the impact of a change to the accounting presentation for a card program, which increased both noninterest income and noninterest expenses by $48 million in the third quarter 2015, noninterest income increased $1 million.


•	Noninterest expenses increased $8 million, excluding the above-described change in accounting presentation for a card program and the net benefit of $8 million in the third quarter 2014 from certain cost-saving actions, primarily due to an increase in technology-related contract labor expenses and higher outside processing expenses related to revenue generating activities.

^(a)Loans related to energy at September 30, 2015 included approximately $3.2 billion of outstanding loans in our Energy business line as well as approximately $615 million of loans in other lines of business to companies that have a sizable

portion of their revenue related to energy or could be otherwise disproportionately negatively impacted by prolonged low oil and gas prices.

•	Net interest income increased $1 million to $422 million in the third quarter 2015, compared to the second quarter 2015.

◦

Interest on loans increased $2 million, reflecting the impact of one additional day in the third quarter (+$4 million) and the benefit from an increase in average loan balances (+$1 million), partially offset by a decrease in yields (-$3 million). The decrease in loan yields primarily reflected the impact of growth in high quality, lower yielding loans as well as a decrease in fee income due to the summer slowdown, partially offset by the benefit from an increase in LIBOR and the favorable impact from higher yields on loans related to energy due to negative credit migration.


◦	Interest on investment securities and Federal Reserve Bank deposits each increased $1 million, primarily reflecting increased average balances.


◦	Interest expense on debt increased $3 million, primarily reflecting the impact of debt issued in June and July 2015.


•	The net interest margin of 2.54 percent decreased 11 basis points compared to the second quarter 2015, primarily due to the impact of the increase in Federal Reserve Bank deposit balances (-6 basis points), lower loan yields (-2 basis points) and the impact of increased debt (-2 basis points).

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income increased $3 million in the third quarter 2015, compared to $261 million for the second quarter 2015. The increase primarily reflected increases of $4 million in hedge ineffectiveness income, $3 million in card fees and $3 million in warrant-related income, partially offset by decreases of $5 million in deferred compensation asset returns and $4 million in investment banking income. The decrease in deferred compensation asset returns was offset by a decrease in deferred compensation plan expense in noninterest expenses.

Noninterest Expenses

Noninterest expenses increased $25 million in the third quarter 2015, compared to $436 million for the second quarter 2015, primarily reflecting a $3 million net release of litigation reserves in the third quarter 2015, compared to a net release of $30 million in the second quarter 2015, as well as increases of $2 million each in occupancy and software expense, partially offset by an $8 million decrease in salaries and benefits expense. The decrease in salaries and benefits expense primarily reflected a decrease in deferred compensation plan expense, lower share-based compensation expense as a result of forfeitures, and lower benefits expense, partially offset by an increase in technology-related contract labor expenses and the impact of one additional day in the quarter.

Credit Quality

“At 19 basis points, net charge-offs remain well below the historical normal level. Gross charge-offs declined slightly, while recoveries were down, primarily due to timing,” said Babb. “The provision for credit losses was $26 million and the allowance increased $4 million. This reflects modestly higher reserves for both

Technology and Life Sciences and loans related to energy. This marks the fourth consecutive quarter that we have prudently increased our reserves for energy, a result of increasing criticized loans and sustained low energy prices. While negative credit migration is anticipated, any losses are expected to be manageable. We continue to feel comfortable with our energy portfolio.”

•	Net charge-offs increased $5 million to $23 million, or 0.19 percent of average loans, in the third quarter 2015, compared to $18 million, or 0.15 percent, in the second quarter 2015.


•	During the third quarter 2015, $69 million of borrower relationships over $2 million were transferred to nonaccrual status, of which $25 million were loans related to energy.


•	Criticized loans increased $537 million to $2.9 billion at September 30, 2015, compared to $2.4 billion at June 30, 2015, reflecting an increase of approximately $480 million in criticized loans related to energy.

Balance Sheet and Capital Management

Total assets and common shareholders' equity were $71.0 billion and $7.6 billion, respectively, at September 30, 2015, compared to $69.9 billion and $7.5 billion, respectively, at June 30, 2015.

There were approximately 177 million common shares outstanding at September 30, 2015. Share repurchases of $59 million (1.2 million shares) under the equity repurchase program, combined with dividends of 21 cents per share, returned 71 percent of third quarter 2015 net income to shareholders. Diluted average shares decreased 2 million to 181 million for the third quarter 2015.

The estimated common equity Tier 1 capital ratio, reflective of transition provisions and excluding accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI"), was 10.58 percent at September 30, 2015. Certain deductions and adjustments to regulatory capital began phasing in on January 1, 2015 and will be fully implemented on January 1, 2018. The estimated ratio under fully phased-in Basel III capital rules is largely the same as the transitional ratio. Comerica's tangible common equity ratio was 9.91 percent at September 30, 2015, a decrease of 1 basis point from June 30, 2015.

Full-Year and Fourth Quarter 2015 Outlook

Management expectations for full-year 2015 compared to full-year 2014 have not changed from the previously provided outlook.

For fourth quarter 2015 compared to third quarter 2015, management expects the following, assuming a continuation of the current economic and low-rate environment:


•	Average loans relatively stable, reflecting a seasonal decline in Mortgage Banker Finance, a continued decline in Energy and small increases in other lines of business.


•	Net interest income relatively stable, with a contribution from earning asset growth approximately offset by continued pressure on yields from the low rate environment.


•	Provision for credit losses remains low, with fourth quarter provision at a level similar to the third quarter. Continued negative migration of loans related to energy is possible, which may be offset by lower exposure balances.


•	Noninterest income slightly higher, with growth in card fees, along with fiduciary income and investment banking fees should markets improve. The levels of warrant income, hedge ineffectiveness income and deferred compensation asset losses experienced in the third quarter 2015 are not expected to repeat, but are difficult to predict.


•	Noninterest expenses moderately higher, reflecting seasonal increases in benefits expense, outside processing, marketing and occupancy expenses. The levels of litigation-related expense, share-based compensation and deferred compensation plan expense experienced in the third quarter 2015 are not expected to repeat, but are difficult to predict.

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 September 30, 2015 and are presented on a fully taxable equivalent (FTE) basis.

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


•	Average loans increased $360 million in California and decreased $257 million in Texas and $67 million in Michigan (primarily general Middle Market). The increase in California was led by Technology and Life Sciences, Entertainment and Private Banking, partially offset by a decrease in general Middle Market. In Texas, average loans decreased in almost all lines of business.

•

Average deposits increased $1.1 billion and $240 million in California and Michigan, respectively, and decreased $206 million in Texas. The increases in California and Michigan reflected increases in almost all lines of business, partially offset by decreases in Commercial Real Estate (in both markets) and Corporate Banking (in Michigan). The decrease in Texas primarily reflected decreases in general Middle Market, Technology and Life Sciences, and Energy, partially offset by an increase in Small Business.


•	Net interest income increased $6 million and $1 million in California and Michigan, respectively, and decreased $1 million in Texas. The increase in California primarily reflected the benefit from an increase in net FTP credits, largely due to the increase in average deposits, and the impact of one additional day in the quarter.

•

The provision for credit losses decreased $33 million in Texas and increased $20 million and $19 million in California and Michigan, respectively. The decrease in Texas primarily reflected a smaller reserve build for Energy in the third quarter 2015, compared to the second quarter 2015. In California, the provision increased primarily as a result of increased reserves for Technology and Life Sciences, while the increase in Michigan was primarily the result of increased provisions in general Middle Market, Retail Banking and Corporate Banking.


•	Noninterest income increased $3 million and $1 million in Texas and California, respectively, and was unchanged in Michigan. The increase in Texas was primarily due to increases in customer derivative income, foreign exchange income and small increases in several categories, partially offset by a decrease in investment banking income.


•	Noninterest expenses increased $24 million in Michigan, primarily reflecting the impact of a net release in litigation reserves in the second quarter 2015, partially offset by small decreases in several categories, and increased $3 million and $2 million in Texas and California, respectively.

In addition to Texas, Comerica Bank locations can be found in Arizona, California, Florida and Michigan, with select businesses operating in several other states, as well as in Canada and Mexico.

This press release contains both financial measures based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) and non-GAAP based financial measures, which are used where management believes it to be helpful in understanding Comerica's results of operations or financial position.

(a) Tier 1 capital and risk-weighted assets as defined by Basel I risk-based capital rules.

n/a - not applicable.

The Tier 1 common capital ratio removes preferred stock and qualifying trust preferred securities from Tier 1 capital as defined by and calculated in conformity with Basel I risk-based capital rules in effect through December 31, 2014. Effective January 1, 2015, regulatory capital components and risk-weighted assets are defined by and calculated in conformity with Basel III risk-based capital rules. The tangible common equity ratio removes preferred stock and the effect of intangible assets from capital and the effect of intangible assets from total assets. Tangible common equity per share of common stock removes the effect of intangible assets from common shareholders equity per share of common stock. Comerica believes these measurements are meaningful measures of capital adequacy used by investors, regulators, management and others to evaluate the adequacy of common equity and to compare against other companies in the industry.
