COMERICA REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2018 NET INCOME OF $326 MILLION,

$1.87 PER SHARE

Earnings Per Share Increased 18 Percent Compared to First Quarter 2018

Revenue Increased 6 Percent Compared to First Quarter 2018, Driving Efficiency Ratio to 53 Percent

Margin Expanded 21 Basis Points to 3.62 Percent

Managed Loan and Deposit Pricing as Rates Increased Along With Higher Interest Recoveries

Strong Credit Quality Led to Reduction in Allowance for Loan Losses

“Our second quarter results were solid as we continued to manage loan and deposit pricing in a rising rate environment. Loan growth and favorable credit metrics, combined with higher fee income and well-controlled expenses, helped drive an 18 percent increase in our earnings per share relative to the first quarter. The Federal Reserve recently announced we are no longer subject to certain regulations and reporting requirements. We believe we are well positioned to meaningfully increase our capital return to our shareholders. Furthermore, we expect to benefit from additional rate increases and economic growth. We remain focused on maintaining momentum and driving shareholder returns,” said Ralph W. Babb, Jr., chairman and chief executive officer.

Second Quarter 2018 Compared to First Quarter 2018

Average total loans increased $804 million, or 2 percent, to $49.2 billion.


•	Primarily reflected seasonal increases in Mortgage Banker Finance and National Dealer Services as well as growth in Technology and Life Sciences (mainly Equity Fund Services) and general Middle Market.


•	Loan yields increased 37 basis points to 4.63 percent reflecting an increase in short term rates (+27 basis points), higher interest recoveries (+8 basis points) and other dynamics (+2 basis points).

Average total deposits decreased $260 million to $55.8 billion.


•	Driven by a $553 million decrease in noninterest-bearing deposits, partially offset by a $293 million increase in interest-bearing deposits.


•	Primarily reflected a decrease in general Middle Market, driven by seasonality in Municipalities, mostly offset by increases in other lines of business.


•	Interest-bearing deposit costs increased 17 basis points to 0.42 percent as deposit rates were increased with the faster pace of LIBOR rising.

Net interest income increased $41 million to $590 million.


•	Primarily due to a net benefit from higher short-term rates, an increase in average loans, higher interest recoveries and one additional day in the second quarter.


•	Net interest margin increased 21 basis points to 3.62 percent.

Provision for credit losses decreased $41 million to a benefit of $29 million.


•	Reflected a decline in total criticized loans of $355 million, or 17 percent, and net credit-related recoveries of $3 million.

Noninterest income increased $4 million.


•	Primarily reflected an increase of $5 million in commercial lending fees, mostly due to an increase in syndication fees, partially offset by a $2 million charge related to a derivative contract tied to the conversion rate of Visa Class B shares.

Noninterest expenses increased $2 million.


•	Excluding the impact of a $5 million business tax refund in the first quarter, noninterest expenses decreased $3 million, primarily reflecting decreases of $5 million each in salaries and benefits expense and restructuring charges, partially offset by increases of $3 million in outside processing expense and $2 million in advertising expense.


•	The decrease in salaries and benefits expense primarily reflected seasonal decreases in share-based compensation and payroll taxes, partially offset by the impact of higher incentive compensation tied to financial performance, merit increases, an increase in staff insurance and one additional day in the quarter.

Provision for income taxes increased $39 million to $93 million.


•	Due to the tax impact from the $84 million increase in pre-tax earnings and a $16 million decrease in tax benefits from employee stock transactions.

Capital position remained solid at June 30, 2018.


•	Returned $227 million to shareholders, including dividends and the repurchase of $169 million of common stock (1.8 million shares) under the equity repurchase program.


•	Dividend increased 13 percent to 34 cents per share.

•

On June 21, 2018, the Federal Reserve announced that bank holding companies with less than $100 billion in total assets are no longer subject to supervisory stress testing, including both the Dodd-Frank Act stress tests and Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review. As such, at the next scheduled meeting on July 24, 2018, Comerica’s board of directors will discuss capital actions to increase returns to shareholders while continuing to properly manage our capital base and support growth. A press release announcing planned capital actions is expected at that time.

Second Quarter 2018 Compared to Second Quarter 2017

Management of loan and deposit pricing, strong credit quality and successful execution of GEAR Up initiatives has resulted in a return on equity of 16.40 percent and an efficiency ratio of 53.24 percent, well beyond the GEAR Up financial targets set when the initiative launched in mid-2016.

Average total loans increased $502 million.


•	Reflected increases in Technology and Life Sciences and National Dealer Services, partially offset by decreases in Corporate Banking and Energy.

Average total deposits decreased $1.3 billion.


•	Primarily due to a decrease of $1.4 billion in noninterest-bearing deposits.


•	Primarily reflected decreases in general Middle Market (driven by a decrease in Municipalities) and Commercial Real Estate (due to customers using excess liquidity in their operations), partially offset by an increase in Technology and Life Sciences.

Net interest income increased $90 million.


•	Driven by the net benefit from higher short-term rates.

Provision for credit losses decreased $46 million.


•	Reflected a decline in total criticized loans of $727 million.


•	Net credit-related charge-offs decreased $21 million to net recoveries of $3 million from net charge-offs of $18 million.

Adjusted noninterest income (see Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures) was unchanged at $248 million.


•	Reflected increases of $6 million in card fees, adjusted for the impact of adoption of the new revenue accounting standard, and $1 million in fiduciary income, offset by decreases of $3 million in warrant income and $2 million each in service charges on deposit accounts and customer derivative income.

Adjusted noninterest expenses (see Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures) increased $22 million.


•	Reflected an increase of $19 million in salaries and benefits expense and an increase of $4 million in outside processing expense.


•	The increase in salaries and benefits expense primarily reflected higher share-based and incentive compensation tied to financial performance as well as merit increases.

Provision for income taxes decreased $6 million.


•	Due to the decrease in the statutory tax rate in 2018, partially offset by an increase in pre-tax income of $117 million and a $2 million decrease in tax benefits from employee stock transactions.

Net interest income	$	590		$	549		$	500

Net interest margin	3.62		%	3.41		%	3.03		%

Selected average balances:
Total earning assets	$	65,114		$	65,012		$	66,310
Total loans	49,225			48,421			48,723
Total investment securities	11,799			11,911			12,232

Total noninterest-bearing deposits	29,316			29,869			30,741
Medium- and long-term debt	5,584			5,192			5,161

Net interest income increased $41 million to $590 million in the second quarter 2018, compared to the first quarter 2018.


•	Net increase from higher short-term rates of $21 million, primarily reflecting a $33 million benefit to loan interest partly offset by an $11 million increase to deposit costs.


•	Net interest income also benefited $9 million from higher average loan balances, $9 million from higher interest recoveries and $5 million from one additional day in the quarter.

The net interest margin increased 21 basis points to 3.62 percent in the second quarter 2018, compared to the first quarter 2018.


•	Net increase from higher short-term rates of 11 basis points, primarily from higher loan yields (+20 basis points), partially offset by higher deposit costs (-7 basis points) and debt costs (-4 basis points).


•	The net interest margin also benefited 6 basis points due to higher interest recoveries.

Credit Quality

“Credit quality remains strong,” said Babb. “Gross charge-offs of $20 million were more than offset by recoveries. We had a broad-based decline in problem loans. Criticized loans decreased $355 million, or 17 percent, and now represent less than 4 percent of total loans at quarter end. This included a reduction in nonperforming loans, which comprise 53 basis points of our total loans. Energy criticized and nonaccrual loans continued to decrease. The positive credit migration resulted in a reserve release and a reserve ratio of 1.36 percent.”



(dollar amounts in millions)	2nd Qtr '18			1st Qtr '18			2nd Qtr '17
Credit-related charge-offs	$	20		$	37		$	39

Allowance for loan losses/Nonperforming loans	2.6x			2.1x			1.4x


(a)	Included in "Accrued expenses and other liabilities" on the consolidated balance sheets.


•	The allowance for loan losses decreased to $677 million at June 30, 2018, or 1.36 percent of total loans, reflecting improvements in credit quality of the portfolio.

•

Criticized loans decreased $355 million to $1.8 billion at June 30, 2018, compared to $2.1 billion at March 31, 2018, including a $149 million decrease in Energy. Criticized loans as a percentage of total loans were 3.5 percent at June 30, 2018, compared to 4.3 percent at March 31, 2018. Criticized loans are generally consistent with the Special Mention, Substandard and Doubtful categories defined by regulatory authorities.


•	Nonperforming loans decreased $72 million to $262 million at June 30, 2018, compared to $334 million at March 31, 2018. Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans decreased to 0.53 percent at June 30, 2018, compared to 0.68 percent at March 31, 2018.

2018 Second-Half Outlook

For the second half of 2018, management expects the following, assuming a continuation of the current economic and rate environment as well as the benefits from the GEAR Up initiative:


•	Moderate growth in average loans


◦	Growth in most lines of business with a slower pace in general Middle Market, National Dealer Services and Mortgage Banker Finance due to seasonality.


◦	Energy and Corporate Banking to remain stable.


•	Net interest income higher, reflecting recent rate increases, loan growth and three additional days.


◦	Full-year 2018 net benefit of $70 million from the first quarter 2018 rate increase and $35 million to $40 million from the second quarter 2018 rate increase.


◦	Elevated interest recoveries not expected to repeat ($11 million in second quarter 2018).


•	Provision for credit losses of $10 million to $20 million per quarter and net charge-offs to remain low.


•	Noninterest income growth trend to continue benefiting from the execution of GEAR Up initiatives to help drive growth in treasury management income, card fees and fiduciary income.


•	Noninterest expenses modestly higher (excluding restructuring charges) primarily due to additional days.

◦GEAR Up savings remain on track.


◦	Continued higher technology expenditures.


◦	Seasonal and typical inflationary pressures leading to higher occupancy and advertising expenses.


◦	Restructuring charges of $20 million to $25 million.


•	Income tax expense to be approximately 23 percent of pre-tax income, excluding any tax impact from employee stock transactions.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (unaudited)
Comerica Incorporated and Subsidiaries

Comerica believes non-GAAP measures are meaningful because they reflect adjustments commonly made by management, investors, regulators and analysts to evaluate the adequacy of common equity and our performance trends. Comerica believes adjusted net income, earnings per share, ROA, ROE, noninterest income, noninterest expenses and efficiency ratio provide a greater understanding of ongoing operations and enhances comparability of results with prior periods. Tangible common equity is used by Comerica to measure the quality of capital and the return relative to balance sheet risk.
