SECOND QUARTER 2020 NET INCOME OF $113 MILLION, OR $0.80 PER SHARE
Loan and Deposit Growth Drove Average Balances to Record Highs
Including $2.6 Billion in Paycheck Protection Program Loans

Credit Quality Remained Solid with Net Charge-offs of 37 basis points
Excluding Energy, Net Charge-offs of 4 basis points
Allowance for Credit Losses Increased to 1.99% of Total Loans

"Today we reported earnings of 80 cents per share," said Curt C. Farmer, Comerica Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "The highlight of the quarter was significant loan and deposit growth, which drove average balances to record highs and partly offset the impact of lower interest rates on net interest income. Overall, credit quality remained solid; however, with the unprecedented, rapid decline in the economy and high level of uncertainty, we prudently increased our credit reserves. Capital levels continued to be strong and we remain focused on maintaining an attractive dividend yield for our shareholders, as our book value per share grew to $53.28.

“We have quickly adapted to the COVID-19 pandemic and are continuing to make adjustments as the crisis evolves. The health and safety of our employees and our customers remains our top priority. Across the bank, our colleagues have continued to ensure that our customers are well taken care of, working tirelessly to provide sound financial advice, credit expertise and payment flexibility where needed. Particularly, I am proud of the tremendous dedication our colleagues have displayed in supporting the Paycheck Protection Program. Through our long history, Comerica has successfully managed through many challenging times. Helping our customers and communities endure stressful situations and achieve long-term success is at the heart of Comerica’s relationship banking strategy.”

Committed to Supporting Customers, Colleagues and Communities
Significant amount of time, effort and resources spent during second quarter 2020 to support stakeholders impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, including assistance provided through Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans.
Funded $3.9 billion in loans under the PPP, granted payment deferrals for $4.5 billion in loans, primarily commercial, through June 30, 2020, which included $57 million of loans on their second deferral, and waived overdraft, late payment, ATM and other customer fees.
Supported our colleagues through additional compensation and benefits to those most impacted by the pandemic, as well as awarded bonuses for extraordinary service in support of the PPP process.
Together with the Comerica Charitable Foundation, pledged $8 million to support business needs and community service organizations that care for and provide critical services to our communities, including a $1 million commitment to the National Business League to help Black-owned small businesses.

Second Quarter 2020 Compared to First Quarter 2020 Overview
Balance sheet items discussed in terms of average balances.
Loans increased $3.9 billion, or 8 percent, to $53.5 billion.
Reflected a $1.2 billion increase in Mortgage Banker Finance due to seasonality and elevated refinancing activity, as well as growth of $767 million in Corporate Banking, $737 million in general Middle Market, $567 million in Business Banking and $449 million in Commercial Real Estate, partially offset by a $535 million decrease in National Dealer Services.
Average PPP loans totaled $2.6 billion, driving the growth in general Middle Market and Business Banking.
The average yield on loans decreased 93 basis points to 3.26 percent, mostly reflecting the impact of lower interest rates, as the average one-month LIBOR declined by 105 basis points.
Deposits increased $7.5 billion, or 13 percent, to $64.3 billion.
Growth in nearly every business line, including an increase of $5.9 billion in noninterest-bearing deposits, as customers conserved cash in response to uncertainty, including funds from government stimulus programs such as PPP and consumer economic impact payments.
The average cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased 50 basis points to 26 basis points, reflecting prudent management of relationship pricing in a lower rate environment.
Net interest income decreased $42 million to $471 million.
The benefit from higher average loan balances was more than offset by the net impact of lower interest rates.
Provision for credit losses decreased $273 million to $138 million.
The allowance for credit losses increased $88 million to $1.1 billion, or 1.99 percent of total loans, reflecting the expected impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Excluding PPP loans, allowance for credit losses totaled 2.15 percent of total loans.
Net credit-related charge-offs totaled $50 million, or 0.37 percent of average loans.
Noninterest income increased $10 million to $247 million.
Reflected increases of $9 million in card fees, $8 million in securities trading income and $5 million in deferred compensation asset returns (offset in noninterest expenses), as well as smaller increases in other categories, partially offset by decreases of $7 million in service charges on deposit accounts, $3 million in bank-owned life insurance and $2 million each in fiduciary income and brokerage fees.
The increase in card fees was primarily driven by interchange revenue from stimulus payments under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), partially offset by a decrease in merchant and commercial card volumes due to the impact of social distancing restrictions.
Noninterest expenses increased $15 million to $440 million.
Reflected increases of $7 million in salaries and benefits expense, $5 million in outside processing fee expense and $2 million in software expense.
The increase in salaries and benefits expense primarily reflected annual merit increases and the payment of COVID-19-related stipends and hazard pay for colleagues who could not work remotely, as well as a $5 million increase in deferred compensation expense (offset in noninterest income), partially offset by a seasonal decrease in payroll taxes.

Provision for income taxes increased $48 million to $27 million.
Capital position remained solid with a common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 9.97 percent and a Tier 1 capital ratio of 10.56 percent.
On May 26, 2020, issued $400 million of 5.625% non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock.
Returned a total of $98 million to shareholders through dividends.
Average diluted shares outstanding declined by 1.1 million due to the repurchase of 3.2 million shares of common stock in the first quarter prior to the Corporation's suspension of its repurchase program.

Second Quarter 2020 Compared to Second Quarter 2019 Overview
Balance sheet items discussed in terms of average balances.
Loans increased $2.5 billion, or 5 percent.
Reflected increases in Mortgage Banker Finance, Commercial Real Estate and Corporate Banking, as well as the addition of $2.6 billion in PPP loans that led to an increase in Business Banking, partially offset by a decrease in National Dealer Services.
Loan yields declined 174 basis points, consistent with the lower interest rate environment.
Deposits increased $9.3 billion, or 17 percent.
Included $6.3 billion, or 24 percent, increase in noninterest-bearing deposits.
Interest-bearing deposit costs declined 68 basis points to 26 basis points, with prudent management of relationship pricing in a lower rate environment.
Net interest income decreased $132 million.
Reflected the impact of lower short-term rates, partially offset by higher loan volumes.
Provision for credit losses, calculated using the CECL model effective first quarter 2020, increased $94 million.
Reflected the expected impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the economic impacts of social distancing, and sustained pressures on Energy.
Noninterest income decreased $3 million.
Increases in securities trading income, customer derivative income and card fees were more than offset by decreases in service charges on deposit accounts, commercial lending fees (primarily syndication fees) and smaller decreases in other categories.
Noninterest expenses increased $16 million.
Reflected increases in salaries and benefits expense as well as software expense, which included an $8 million reclassification from outside processing fee expense due to a change in accounting classification effective first quarter 2020.

Net interest income decreased $42 million, and net interest margin decreased 56 basis points, compared to first quarter 2020.
Interest income on loans decreased $83 million and reduced net interest margin by 60 basis points, primarily due to the impact of lower short-term rates (-$105 million, -57 basis points) as well as lower nonaccrual interest (-$2 million, -1 basis point), which were partially offset by higher loan balances (+$15 million, -7 basis points), fees (+$7 million, +4 basis points) and other portfolio dynamics (+$2 million, +1 basis point).
Interest income on short-term investments decreased $15 million and reduced net interest margin by 26 basis points, reflecting lower rates (-$16 million, -9 basis points), partially offset by an increase in lower-yielding deposits with the Federal Reserve Bank (+$1 million, -17 basis points).
Interest expense on deposits decreased $36 million and improved net interest margin by 19 basis points, due to lower pay rates on deposits.
Interest expense on debt decreased $20 million and increased net interest margin by 11 basis points, primarily due to lower rates.
The net impact of lower rates, including the change to deposit rates, to the second quarter of 2020 net interest income was a reduction of $67 million and 37 basis points to the net interest margin.

Credit Quality

"Overall, our portfolio performed well in the second quarter, with net charge-offs of 37 basis points and only 4 basis points excluding Energy loans," said Farmer. "Nonperforming assets remained low at 53 basis points, a modest increase over the first quarter. The economy improved through the quarter, including a rise in employment, higher energy prices, and consumer spending has started to come back. However, the economic outlook continues to be uncertain with the unprecedented impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, we prudently increased our credit reserves to 2.15 percent of average loans, excluding PPP loans, and our reserve to nonperforming loans is strong at 3.9 times. The allocation of reserves to Energy loans remains above 10 percent. We continue to work closely with our customers, carefully reviewing current and projected financial performance, providing assistance as warranted, and adjusting risk ratings as appropriate, which is reflected in the increase in criticized loans."

The allowance for credit losses increased $88 million to $1.1 billion, or 1.99 percent of total loans, reflecting the expected impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the economic impacts of social distancing, and sustained pressures on Energy. Excluding PPP loans, which are guaranteed by the Small Business Administration, allowance for credit losses totaled 2.15 percent of total loans.
Energy loans totaled $2.1 billion, or 4 percent of total loans at June 30, 2020. The allocation of reserves for Energy loans remained over 10 percent.
Criticized loans increased $922 million to $3.4 billion, or 6 percent of total loans. Criticized loans are generally consistent with the Special Mention, Substandard and Doubtful categories defined by regulatory authorities.
Criticized Energy loans increased $348 million to $841 million, or 25 percent of total criticized loans; 40 percent of Energy loans are criticized.
General Middle Market criticized loans increased $519 million; 14 percent of general Middle Market loans are criticized.
Net charge-offs were $50 million, or 0.37 percent of average loans.
Energy net charge-offs were $45 million compared to $67 million in first quarter 2020. Excluding Energy, net charge-offs totaled $5 million, or 0.04 percent of average loans.

5


Nonperforming assets increased $32 million to $282 million. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total loans and foreclosed property increased to 0.53 percent compared to 0.47 percent in first quarter 2020.
Nonperforming Energy loans increased $37 million to $102 million.

Outlook for Third Quarter 2020 Compared to Second Quarter 2020
Based on management expectations for recessionary conditions:
Decline in average loans reflects lending to small businesses with a full quarter benefit of PPP, more than offset by decreases in Mortgage Banker Finance, Large Corporate and National Dealer Services.
Average deposits relatively stable as customers utilize economic stimulus proceeds.
Decrease in net interest income resulting from a $10 million to $15 million net impact of lower interest rates (assumes 1-month LIBOR of 17 basis points and deposit cost of 20 basis points) and lower loan balances, offset by lower wholesale debt and one additional day.
Provision for credit losses reflective of economic environment, including the effects resulting from the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Decline in noninterest income due to reduced card fees related to transaction activity and lower market-based investment banking and derivative fees, partially offset by higher service charges on deposit accounts due to increased activity. Higher securities trading income and deferred compensation levels in second quarter 2020 not expected to repeat.
Increase in noninterest expenses, reflecting technology and occupancy projects, as well as higher charitable contributions and seasonal impacts of marketing and staff insurance expenses, mostly offset by continued expense discipline and reduction in COVID-19-related costs.
Capital reflects declaration of first preferred stock dividend and a focus on supporting customers' financing needs, as well as maintaining an attractive common dividend.

RECONCILIATIONS OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND REGULATORY RATIOS (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. Tangible common equity is used by Comerica to measure the quality of capital and the return relative to balance sheet risk.
Common equity tier 1 capital ratio removes preferred stock from the Tier 1 capital ratio as defined by and calculated in conformity with bank regulations. The tangible common equity ratio removes the effect of intangible assets from capital and 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.
