Income from continuing operations for 2007 was $682 million, or $4.40 per diluted share, compared to $782 million, or $4.81 per diluted share, for 2006. The provision for loan losses was $212 million for 2007, compared to $37 million for 2006. Return on average common shareholders' equity from continuing operations was 13.41 percent for 2007 and 15.11 percent for 2006.
"2007 was a challenging year for the banking industry, including Comerica," said Ralph W. Babb Jr., chairman and chief executive officer. "While we continued to execute our strategy, reflected by strong loan growth, particularly in our high growth markets, challenges in the residential real estate development portfolio affected our performance. Our fourth quarter earnings were largely impacted by an increase in the provision for loan losses and a decline in the net interest margin, driven in part by a decision to increase the securities portfolio and a competitive funding environment. Our fourth quarter expenses were impacted by a $13 million charge related to Visa and $2 million of moving costs related to our previously announced headquarters relocation.
"We opened 30 new banking centers in 2007, 28 of them in our high-growth markets of Texas, California and Arizona. We also relocated our corporate headquarters from Detroit to Dallas, positioning our company in a more central location with greater accessibility to all of our markets. Our capital position remains solid and provides us with a cushion to weather continued challenges in the economic environment and the flexibility to continue to invest in our growth markets."
Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2007 Highlights
Fourth Quarter 2007 Compared to Third Quarter 2007
Full Year 2007 Compared to Full Year 2006
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin (dollar amounts in millions) 4th Qtr '07 3rd Qtr '07 4th Qtr '06 Net interest income $489 $503 $502 Net interest margin 3.43% 3.66% 3.75% Selected average balances: Total earning assets $56,621 $54,641 $53,289 Total loans 50,699 49,874 48,568 Total loans, excluding FSD loans (primarily low-rate) 49,758 48,683 46,659 Total interest-bearing deposits 31,834 30,276 30,554 Total noninterest-bearing deposits 10,533 10,840 12,649 Total noninterest-bearing deposits, excluding FSD 8,473 8,265 8,696
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income was $230 million for the fourth quarter 2007, compared to $230 million for the third quarter 2007 and $262 million for the fourth quarter 2006. Noninterest income in the fourth quarter 2007, compared to the third quarter 2007, included positive trends in fiduciary income, service charges on deposit accounts, commercial lending fees and an increase in deferred compensation asset returns, offset by a decrease in net income from principal investing and warrants. Fourth quarter 2006 noninterest income included $47 million from the settlement of a Financial Services Division- related lawsuit. Certain categories of noninterest income are highlighted in the table below.
(in millions) 4th Qtr '07 3rd Qtr '07 4th Qtr '06 Net income from principal investing and warrants $6 $11 $3 Net securities gains 3 4 1 Income from lawsuit settlement - - 47 Other noninterest income Deferred compensation asset returns* 2 (2) 3 Investment banking fees 3 4 10 * Compensation deferred by Comerica officers is invested in stocks and bonds to reflect the investment selections of the officers. Income (loss) earned on these assets is reported in noninterest income and the offsetting increase (decrease) in the liability is reported in salaries expense. Noninterest Expenses
Noninterest expenses were $450 million for the fourth quarter 2007, compared to $423 million for the third quarter 2007 and $457 million for the fourth quarter 2006. The $27 million increase in noninterest expenses in the fourth quarter 2007, compared to the third quarter 2007, reflected $13 million to record an estimated liability related to membership in Visa (discussed below), a $9 million increase in salaries expense and a $3 million increase in the provision for credit losses on lending-related commitments, partially offset by a $4 million decrease in customer services expense. The increase in salaries expense was primarily due to increases in severance and deferred compensation plan costs (offset by an increase in deferred compensation asset returns in noninterest income). Customer services expense varies from period to period as a result of changes in the level of noninterest-bearing deposits in the Corporation's Financial Services Division, the earnings credit allowance provided on these deposits and a competitive environment. In addition, noninterest expenses included approximately $2 million of costs related to the previously announced relocation of Comerica's headquarters to Dallas, Texas, in both the fourth quarter and third quarters of 2007, reflected in salaries and other noninterest expenses.
Members of the Visa card association participate in a loss sharing arrangement to allocate financial responsibilities arising from any potential adverse resolution of certain antitrust lawsuits challenging the practices of the association. Comerica recorded a $13 million expense in the fourth quarter 2007 (in "litigation and operational losses") related to this loss sharing arrangement. Comerica believes that its share of the proceeds from the expected initial public offering of Visa, anticipated in the first quarter 2008, will exceed its share of recorded losses.
Certain categories of noninterest expenses are highlighted in the table below. 4th Qtr '07 3rd Qtr '07 4th Qtr '06 Salaries Regular salaries $163 $162 $162 Severance 3 - 5 Incentives 36 35 48 Deferred compensation plan costs 2 (2) 4 Share-based compensation 12 12 12 Total salaries 216 207 231 Employee benefits 48 49 42 Customer services 7 11 14 Litigation and operational losses 18 6 4 Provision for credit losses on lending-related commitments 3 - (4) Other noninterest expenses Interest on tax liabilities* n/a n/a 15 Charitable Foundation contribution 2 - 10 Other real estate expense 3 3 (2) Redemption premium on trust preferred securities - - 3 * Effective with the adoption of FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109," Comerica changed its accounting policy and prospectively began to classify interest on tax liabilities in the "provision for income taxes." Prior to January 1, 2007, interest on tax liabilities was classified in "other noninterest expenses." n/a - not applicable Tax-related Items
Interest on tax liabilities was classified in the "provision for income taxes" in 2007 and in "other noninterest expenses" in 2006. Fourth quarter 2007 interest on tax liabilities reflected a $9 million reduction ($6 million after-tax) of interest resulting from a settlement with the Internal Revenue Service on asset depreciation.
Fourth quarter 2006 reflected a charge of $31 million after-tax to Comerica's combined tax and related interest reserves for disallowed loan benefits related to a series of loans to foreign borrowers based on settlements discussed with the Internal Revenue Service. Of the total, $22 million was included in the provision for income taxes and $14 million ($9 million after-tax) was for tax-related interest included in other noninterest expenses.
Credit Quality
"We increased the provision for loan losses by $63 million from the third quarter, due to the continued residential real estate development challenges in Michigan and California," said Babb.
