Dallas, TX/July 17, 2019

SECOND QUARTER 2019 NET INCOME OF $298 MILLION, $1.94 PER SHARE

Average Loans Grow $1.3 Billion to Record $51 Billion

Revenue Growth and Expense Control Drive Efficiency Ratio to Below 50 Percent

"Over the past few years, we have been on a path of transformation," said Curtis C. Farmer, president and chief executive officer. "We have increased capacity, become more efficient and managed our capital, while maintaining our underwriting and pricing discipline. These actions have produced strong results, including solid, broad-based loan growth, an efficiency ratio below 50 percent, return on assets of 1.7 percent and return on equity of 16 percent. These performance metrics should continue to be among the highest of our peers. Also, the work we have done has better positioned us to weather changes in the economic or interest rate environment."

Second Quarter 2019 Compared to First Quarter 2019 Overview

The commentary below discusses noninterest income on an adjusted basis, which includes certain adjustments management considers helpful to facilitate trend analysis. See Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.

Average total loans increased $1.3 billion, or 3 percent, to $51.0 billion.

  • Reflected an increase in Mortgage Banker Finance, resulting from higher home sales due to seasonality and an increase in refinancing activity due to lower rates. In addition, general Middle Market and Commercial Real Estate increased.
  • Loan yields decreased 7 basis points to 5.00 percent, primarily reflecting the impact of decreases in short-term rates and residual value adjustments in the leasing portfolio.

Average total deposits increased $1.0 billion, or 2 percent, to $55.0 billion. Core deposits remained stable.

  • A $1.5 billion increase in interest-bearing deposits, including approximately a $1 billion increase in brokered deposits, funded loan growth. This was partially offset by a $474 million decrease in noninterest-bearing deposits.
  • Interest-bearingdeposit costs increased 16 basis points to 94 basis points due to continued management of deposit pricing to attract and retain customers as well as the increase in brokered deposits.

Net interest income decreased $3 million to $603 million.

  • The benefits from an increase in average loans and an additional day in the second quarter were more than offset by the expected increase in deposit costs and higher levels of funding to support loan growth.

Provision for credit losses increased to $44 million compared to a $13 million release in first quarter 2019.

  • Primarily the result of loan growth and a decline in valuations of select liquidating assets related to Energy loans.
  • Net credit-relatedcharge-offs were $33 million, or 0.26 percent of average loans, including Energy net charge-offs of $25 million.
  • The allowance for loan losses increased $10 million to $657 million, or 1.27 percent of total loans.

Adjusted noninterest income increased $4 million to $250 million.

  • Reflected a $3 million increase in fiduciary income and increases of $2 million each in card fees and income from bank-owned life insurance, partially offset by a $3 million decrease in deferred compensation asset returns (offset in noninterest expenses).

Noninterest expenses decreased $9 million to $424 million.

  • Salaries and benefits expense decreased $20 million, reflecting seasonal decreases in share-based compensation and payroll taxes as well as lower deferred compensation expense (offset in noninterest income), partially offset by the impact of annual merit increases and an additional day in the second quarter.
  • Partially offsetting the decrease in salaries and benefits expense were increases of $4 million in advertising expense (from seasonally low first quarter levels), $2 million in legal expense (high first quarter recoveries), $2 million in outside processing fees (card fees and technology initiatives) and smaller increases in other categories.

Provision for income taxes increased $2 million to $87 million.

  • An $11 million decrease in discrete tax benefits from employee stock transactions was partially offset by lower pre- tax earnings.

Capital position remained solid with a common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 10.19 percent.

  • Returned a total of $525 million to shareholders, including dividends and the repurchase of $425 million of common stock (5.7 million shares) under the share repurchase program.

Second Quarter 2019 Compared to Second Quarter 2018 Overview

The commentary below discusses noninterest expenses on an adjusted basis, which includes certain adjustments management considers helpful to facilitate trend analysis. See Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.

Average total loans increased $1.7 billion.

  • Reflected increases in Energy, National Dealer Services and general Middle Market.
  • Loan yields increased 37 basis points, primarily reflecting increases in short-term interest rates. Average total deposits decreased $835 million.
  • Noninterest-bearingdeposits decreased $2.9 billion, partially offset by a $2.1 billion increase in interest-bearing deposits, including approximately a $1 billion increase in brokered deposits. The decline in noninterest-bearing deposits was primarily the result of customers shifting balances to interest-bearing deposits and utilizing their deposits to fund growth, acquisitions and capital expenditures as well as choosing other investment options.
  • Interest-bearingdeposit costs increased 52 basis points due to continued management of deposit pricing to attract and retain customers as well as the increase in brokered deposits.

Net interest income increased $13 million.

  • The net benefit from higher interest rates and an increase in average loan balances were partially offset by the impact of higher average debt and interest-bearing deposits.

Provision for credit losses increased $73 million from a $29 million release in second quarter 2018.

  • The provision increase resulted from loan growth, higher levels of recoveries in the prior quarter and a $183 million increase in total criticized loans.
  • Nonaccrual loans, a component of criticized loans, decreased $30 million.

Noninterest income increased $2 million.

  • Primarily reflected increases of $5 million in card fees and $2 million in income from bank-owned life insurance, partially offset by decreases of $2 million each in service charges on deposit accounts and commercial lending fees.

Adjusted noninterest expenses decreased $13 million.

  • Primarily reflected decreases of $6 million in FDIC insurance expense, $5 million in salaries and benefits expense and $4 million in software expense.

Provision for income taxes decreased $6 million.

  • Lower pre-tax earnings were partially offset by a decrease in discrete tax benefits from employee stock transactions.

Net interest income decreased $3 million, and net interest margin decreased 12 basis points, compared to first quarter 2019.

  • Interest on loans increased $14 million and reduced net interest margin by 2 basis points. Higher average loan balances (+$16 million, +2 basis points) and one additional day in the quarter (+$6 million) were partially offset by lower short-term rates (-$4 million, -2 basis points), negative residual value adjustments to assets in the leasing portfolio (-$2 million, -1 basis point), the impact of cash flow hedges (-$1 million, -1 basis point) and portfolio mix shift (-$1 million).
  • Interest on investment securities increased $3 million and added 1 basis point to the net interest margin, primarily reflecting the impact of repositioning the portfolio late in the first quarter and reinvesting at higher yields.
  • Interest expense on deposits increased $15 million and reduced net interest margin by 9 basis points, due to higher average deposit balances ($8 million, 5 basis points) and deposit pricing ($7 million, 4 basis points).
  • Interest expense on debt increased $5 million and reduced net interest margin by 2 basis points, due to higher average debt balances.

4

Credit Quality

"Credit quality remained solid with net charge-offs of 26 basis points, and nonperforming assets remained very low at 45 basis points," said Farmer. "Recently, valuations of select problem energy assets in various stages of liquidation were reduced due to volatile oil and gas prices combined with a slowing of capital investment in this sector. This, along with loan growth, drove the increase in provision from the low levels we have been experiencing. Overall, the portfolio continues to perform well, and we expect the provision will be approximately $25 million to $35 million per quarter for the remainder of the year."

  1. Included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
  • The allowance for loan losses increased $10 million to $657 million at June 30, 2019, or 1.27 percent of total loans, reflecting loan growth and increased Energy reserves.
  • Criticized loans were $1.9 billion, or 3.8 percent of total loans, at June 30, 2019, a $142 million increase compared to March 31, 2019. The increase in criticized loans reflected an increase in general Middle Market, partially offset by Energy loans, which decreased $30 million to $210 million. Criticized loans are generally consistent with the Special Mention, Substandard and Doubtful categories defined by regulatory authorities.
  • Net charge-offs of $33 million remained at low historical levels as a percentage of average loans at 26 basis points. Net charge-offs from Energy loans were $25 million in the second quarter, compared to $8 million in the first quarter.
  • Nonperforming assets increased $34 million to $233 million at June 30, 2019, compared to $199 million at March 31, 2019. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total loans and foreclosed property increased to 0.45 percent at June 30, 2019, compared to 0.40 percent at March 31, 2019.
  • Energy business line loans were $2.4 billion, or 4.70 percent of total loans at June 30, 2019.

Full-Year 2019 Outlook

For full-year 2019 compared to full-year 2018, management expects the following, assuming a continuation of the current economic environment and interest rates as of June 30, 2019:

  • Growth in average loans of 3 percent to 4 percent, reflecting better than expected growth in the first half of 2019 and normal seasonality in the second half.
  • Decline in average deposits of 2 percent coincident with loan growth and customers using cash in their businesses.
  • Growth in net interest income of 2 percent from the full-year net benefit of higher interest rates, growth in average loans and repositioning the securities portfolio, partially offset by higher wholesale funding, a shift in deposit mix and lower interest recoveries.
  • Provision for credit losses of 15 basis points to 20 basis points of total loans ($25 million to $35 million per quarter for the second half of 2019) and net charge-offs to remain low, with continued solid credit quality.
  • Noninterest income higher by 1 percent to 2 percent, benefiting from growth in card fees and fiduciary income, partially offset by lower derivative income and service charges on deposit accounts.
  • Noninterest expenses lower by 3 percent, reflecting the end of restructuring charges from the GEAR Up initiatives ($53 million in full-year 2018), FDIC insurance expense lower by $16 million from the discontinuance of the surcharge, as well as lower compensation and pension expense, partially offset by higher outside processing expenses in line with growing revenue, technology expenditures and typical inflationary pressures.

Lower compensation driven by executive incentive compensation, partially offset by merit increases.

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

Full-year 2018 included discrete tax benefits of $48 million.

  • Common equity Tier 1 capital ratio target of approximately 10 percent.

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 equity and our performance trends. Comerica believes the adjusted financial results provide a greater understanding of ongoing operations and enhance the comparability of results with prior periods. Tangible equity is used by Comerica to measure the quality of capital and the return relative to balance sheet risk.
