COMERICA REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2016 NET INCOME OF $149 MILLION

Net Income of 84 Cents Per Share Increased 45 Percent Compared to Second Quarter 2016
Includes After-Tax Impact of Restructuring Charges of $13 Million, or 8 Cents Per Share

Strong Credit Quality
Net Credit-Related Charge-Offs to Average Loans of 13 Basis Points

Growth in Efficiency and Revenue Initiative Implementation on Track
$40 Million in Additional Savings Identified
Now Expected to Drive $270 Million Increase in Annual Pre-Tax Income in 2018

DALLAS/October 18, 2016 -- Comerica Incorporated (NYSE: CMA) today reported third quarter 2016 net income of $149 million, compared to $104 million for the second quarter 2016 and $136 million for the third quarter 2015. Earnings per diluted share were 84 cents for third quarter 2016 compared to 58 cents for second quarter 2016 and 74 cents for third quarter 2015. Comerica also continued the implementation of its efficiency and revenue initiative ("GEAR Up"), which is expected to drive additional annual pre-tax income of approximately $180 million by year-end 2017 and $270 million by year-end 2018.
"On our last earnings call, we announced that we had identified more than 20 work streams in our GEAR Up initiative that are expected to drive a significant improvement in our bottom line.  At that time, we also indicated there was more to come, as we were still identifying and analyzing opportunities.  We have determined that those new opportunities add about $40 million to our initial financial target.  As a result, we are now expecting to drive at least $270 million in additional pre-tax income for full-year 2018,” said Ralph W. Babb, Jr., chairman and chief executive officer.  “These actions, which we have already begun to execute with urgency, take us a long way towards achieving a double-digit return on equity.  We expect to meet or exceed this goal with sustained growth, net of investment, normal credit costs, continued equity buybacks, and assuming only a 25 to 50 basis point increase in rates.  We are not relying on a significantly better economic environment or a substantial increase in rates to reach our goal.  We remain confident that as we deliver on this initiative, we will create greater shareholder value.”
The GEAR Up initiative now includes expected pre-tax benefits of approximately $180 million in full-year 2017 and approximately $270 million in full-year 2018. Additional initiatives include a new retirement program that will replace the current pension plan and retirement account plan for most employees effective January 1, 2017. Active pension plan participants age 60 or older as of December 31, 2016 and current retirees will not be impacted. This initiative is expected to result in annual savings of approximately $35 million in full-year 2017 (assuming current actuarial assumptions). The initiative is also expected to reduce full-year 2016 pension expense to $7 million, resulting in a $4 million credit in the fourth quarter. In addition, streamlining additional operations and administrative support functions is expected to add about $5 million to the initial target.
Expense reduction targets have been increased to approximately $150 million for full-year 2017, which increases to approximately $200 million for full-year 2018. This is to be achieved through the additional actions identified above as well as the previously announced reduction in workforce, streamlining operational processes, real estate optimization including consolidating 38 banking centers, selective outsourcing of technology functions and reduction of technology system applications. Approximately two-thirds of the workforce reduction target will be completed by year-end 2016.
Revenue enhancements are unchanged and are expected to be approximately $30 million for full-year 2017, which increase to approximately $70 million for full-year 2018, through expanded product offerings, enhanced sales tools and training and improved customer analytics to drive opportunities.
Total expected pre-tax restructuring charges of $140 million to $160 million to be incurred through 2018 are unchanged.

“Quarter over quarter, our earnings per share increased 45 percent. This reflected strong credit quality, a reduction in restructuring charges, solid revenue growth and well-managed expenses,” said Babb. “While loans were relatively stable, average deposit growth was robust, increasing $1.5 billion. Criticized loans declined and net charge-offs were only 13 basis points of average loans. Our capital position remains solid. In line with our CCAR plan, we increased our share repurchases to 2.1 million shares for a total of $97 million, compared to $65 million in the second quarter.
"We believe we are well positioned for the future," said Babb. "We benefit meaningfully from any increase in interest rates and we continue to adeptly navigate the energy cycle. Yet, we are not waiting for the environment to improve. We are moving with urgency to execute our GEAR Up initiatives and are fully committed to delivering on these efficiency and revenue opportunities to further enhance our profitability."
Third Quarter 2016 Compared to Second Quarter 2016
Average total loans decreased $263 million to $49.2 billion.
Primarily reflected decreases in Energy, National Dealer Services and Technology and Life Sciences; partially offset by increases in Mortgage Banker Finance and Commercial Real Estate.
Period-end total loans decreased $1.1 billion to $49.3 billion, primarily due to decreases in National Dealer Services and Energy.
Average total deposits increased $1.5 billion to $58.1 billion.
Driven by a $2.1 billion increase in noninterest-bearing deposits, partially offset by a $534 million decrease in interest-bearing deposits.
Average total deposits increased in general Middle Market, Commercial Real Estate and Corporate Banking; partially offset by a decrease in Wealth Management.
Period-end deposits increased $2.9 billion to $59.3 billion, in part reflecting an elevated deposit level associated with the government card program on the final day of the quarter.
Net interest income increased $5 million to $450 million.
Primarily the result of one additional day in the third quarter and the benefit from an increase in LIBOR rates, partially offset by higher funding costs.

COMERICA REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2016 NET INCOME OF $149 MILLION - 3

The provision for credit losses decreased $33 million to $16 million.
Net credit-related charge-offs were $16 million, or 0.13 percent of average loans, compared to $47 million, or 0.38 percent, in the second quarter 2016. Energy net credit-related charge-offs were $6 million compared to $32 million in the second quarter 2016.
The allowance for loan losses was $727 million, or 1.48 percent of total loans. The reserve allocation for Energy remained above 8 percent of loans in the Energy business line.
Noninterest income increased $4 million to $272 million.
Increases in commercial lending fees, largely due to an increase in syndication agent fees, partially offset by a decrease in fiduciary income.
Non-fee categories increased modestly, primarily due to an increase in income from bank-owned life insurance partially offset by a decrease in deferred compensation plan asset returns.
Noninterest expenses decreased $25 million to $493 million.
Excluding a $33 million decrease in restructuring charges, noninterest expenses increased $8 million, primarily due to a $6 million decrease in gains from the sale of leased assets and a $3 million increase in outside processing fees.
Capital position remained solid at September 30, 2016.
Increased repurchases by 640,000 shares to approximately 2.1 million shares of common stock under the equity repurchase program.
Dividend increased 4.5 percent to 23 cents per share.
Including dividends, returned a total of $137 million to shareholders.
Third Quarter 2016 Compared to Third Quarter 2015
Average total loans increased $234 million.
Primarily reflected continued growth in Commercial Real Estate and Mortgage Banker Finance, partially offset by declines in Energy and general Middle Market.
Average total deposits decreased $1.1 billion, or 2 percent.
Primarily driven by decreases in Municipalities, Corporate Banking, Technology and Life Sciences and the Financial Services Division; partially offset by increases in Retail Bank and Commercial Real Estate.
Net interest income increased $28 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 decreased $10 million, or 38 percent.
Noninterest income increased $12 million, or 5 percent.
Excluding a $6 million increase in deferred compensation asset returns, noninterest income increased $6 million, primarily reflecting a $5 million increase in card fees and a $4 million increase in commercial lending fees, largely due to an increase in syndication agent fees; partially offset by decreases in warrant income and risk management hedge ineffectiveness.
Noninterest expense increased $36 million.
Noninterest expense increased $10 million excluding third quarter 2016 restructuring charges of $20 million and a $6 million increase in deferred compensation plan expense. The remaining increase primarily reflected increases of $5 million each in software expense and FDIC insurance premiums.

Net interest income increased $5 million to $450 million in the third quarter 2016, compared to the second quarter 2016.
Interest on loans increased $5 million, primarily reflecting the benefit from increases in LIBOR rates (+$4 million), one additional day in the third quarter (+$4 million) and the impact of a second quarter 2016 negative residual value adjustment to assets in the leasing portfolio (+$2 million), partially offset by the impact of a decrease in average loan balances (-$2 million), the impact of nonaccrual loans (-$1 million), lower fees (-$1 million) and other portfolio dynamics (-$1 million).
Interest on investment securities decreased $1 million due to a decrease in yields.
Interest on short-term investments increased $3 million due to an increase in average Federal Reserve Bank deposit balances.
Interest expense on debt increased $2 million, primarily due to higher costs on variable rate debt tied to LIBOR and the full-quarter impact of Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) borrowings during the second quarter.
The net interest margin of 2.66 percent decreased 8 basis points compared to the second quarter 2016, primarily due to the impact of an increase in lower-yielding Federal Reserve Bank deposit balances (-8 basis points).
Credit Quality
“Credit quality was strong, with total net charge-offs of $16 million, or 13 basis points, which is well below our historical norm,” said Babb. “Criticized loans declined almost $300 million and comprised less than 7 percent of our total loans.  Energy loans were 5 percent of total loans as they continued to decrease. While the overall performance of the Energy portfolio has improved, as evidenced by net charge-offs of only $6 million in the third quarter, and oil and gas prices have remained relatively stable for the past several months, we remain cautious and continued to maintain a reserve allocation of over 8 percent for Energy loans and a total reserve of 1.48 percent of total loans as of September 30, 2016.  The solid performance of our total loan portfolio contributed to a reduction in our provision expense to $16 million."

Fourth Quarter 2016 Outlook
For fourth quarter 2016 compared to third quarter 2016, management expects the following, assuming a continuation of the current economic and low-rate environment:
Average loans stable, reflecting growth in National Dealer Services, Technology and Life Sciences and small increases in several other lines of business, offset by seasonality in Mortgage Banker and a continued decline in Energy.
Net interest income slightly higher, reflecting benefits from a decline in wholesale funding costs and an increase in LIBOR.
Provision for credit losses expected to remain low, with net charge-offs below historical norms. Provision and net charge-offs expected to be between second quarter 2016 and third quarter 2016 levels.
Noninterest income relatively stable, excluding income from bank-owned life insurance and deferred compensation asset returns, with fee income expected to remain strong at third quarter 2016 levels.
Noninterest expenses lower, excluding an estimated $30 million to $35 million in restructuring expense, with GEAR Up expense savings of approximately $25 million, primarily salaries and benefits (including pension); seasonal increases in outside processing, marketing and occupancy expected to be partially offset by third quarter 2016 level of deferred compensation expense not expected to repeat.
Income tax expense to approximate 30 percent of pre-tax income.

General Middle Market deposits increased in California and Michigan, and decreased in Texas. The increase in California also reflected an increase in Commercial Real Estate, while the decrease in Texas also reflected a decrease in Technology and Life Sciences.
Net interest income increased $3 million in Michigan and $3 million in California, and decreased $1 million in Texas. The increases in Michigan and California primarily reflected the FTP benefit from higher deposit balances and one additional day in the third quarter, partially offset by the impact of lower loan balances and higher FTP funding costs. The decrease in Texas primarily reflected an increase in FTP funding costs.
The provision for credit losses decreased $35 million in Texas and $21 million in California, and increased $10 million in Michigan. The decrease in Texas primarily reflected a decrease in Energy, in part due to lower loan balances. In California, the decrease primarily reflected decreases in Technology and Life Sciences and general Middle Market. The increase in Michigan primarily reflected an increase in general Middle Market.
Noninterest income increased $5 million in California, $2 million in Texas and $1 million in Michigan. The increase in California was primarily due to increases in warrant income, syndication agent fees and card fees. The increases in both Texas and Michigan were primarily due to increases in syndication agent fees.
Noninterest expenses decreased $11 million in Texas and $10 million in California and increased $2 million in Michigan. Restructuring charges decreased in all three primary markets. In addition to the impact of restructuring charges, the decrease in Texas reflected small decreases in several other categories and the increase in Michigan reflected a decrease in gains from the sale of leased assets.

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.
