Second quarter 2008 included a $177 million provision for credit losses, compared to $163 million for the first quarter 2008 and $34 million for the second quarter 2007. Also during the second quarter of 2008, Comerica recorded combined pre-tax charges of $50 million ($32 million after-tax, or $0.21 per share) related to an updated assessment of the timing of tax deductions on certain structured lease transactions. The charges were recorded in net interest income ($0.13 per share) and the provision for income taxes ($0.08 per share).
First quarter 2008 included pre-tax income of $34 million ($22 million after-tax, or $0.14 per share) related to ownership in Visa.

* Second quarter 2008 net interest income declined $30 million and the net interest margin declined by 19 basis points due to a non-cash lease income charge. Excluding this charge, the net interest margin would have been 3.10%, consistent with the full-year outlook.
** In the fourth quarter 2006, Comerica sold its stake in Munder Capital Management (Munder) and reports Munder as a discontinued operation in all periods presented.
"In an environment that continued to be challenging and volatile, our core operating earnings were stable," said Ralph W. Babb Jr., chairman and chief executive officer. "As expected, our net loan charge-offs were similar to the first quarter, as credit issues remained focused on our California residential real estate development portfolio. Excluding the effect of the tax-related charge to income on structured lease transactions, our net interest margin was consistent with our full-year outlook. Expenses remained well controlled with reduced personnel.
"Our capital ratios were stable and within our targeted ranges. We are optimizing our capital usage, with particular focus on rationalizing our loan portfolio with the appropriate credit standards, loan pricing and return hurdles."
Second Quarter 2008 Compared to First Quarter 2008
-- On an annualized basis, average loans increased four percent, with growth of eight percent in the Texas market, five percent in the Midwest market and one percent in the Western market. Period-end loans declined $601 million from March 31, 2008 to June 30, 2008.
-- On an annualized basis, excluding Financial Services Division (FSD) deposits and institutional certificates of deposit, noninterest-bearing deposits increased four percent, while total deposits decreased seven percent, due to competitive and economic pressures, and attractive alternatives to bank deposits, such as in Comerica Securities, where there has been asset growth.
-- The net interest margin was 2.91 percent in the second quarter 2008, a decrease of 31 basis points from 3.22 percent in the first quarter 2008, largely due to a charge to income on certain structured lease transactions (-19 basis points) discussed below and the reduced contribution of noninterest-bearing funds in a lower rate environment. Excluding the lease income charge, the net interest margin was 3.10 percent, consistent with the full-year outlook.
-- Net credit-related charge-offs were $113 million, or 86 basis points as a percent of average total loans, for the second quarter 2008, compared to $110 million, or 85 basis points as a percent of average total loans, for the first quarter 2008. Of the second quarter credit-related charge-offs, $73 million were in the Commercial Real Estate business line, predominantly with residential real estate developers in the Western market. The remaining net credit-related charge-offs of $40 million were 35 basis points of average non-Commercial Real Estate loans. The provision for loan losses was $170 million for the second quarter 2008, compared to $159 million for the first quarter 2008, bringing the period-end allowance to total loans ratio to 1.28 percent from 1.16 percent at March 31, 2008.
-- Excluding net securities gains, noninterest income increased $13 million, reflecting increases in commercial lending fees, letter of credit fees, foreign exchange income, card fees and deferred compensation asset returns.
-- Excluding the first quarter 2008 reversal of the $13 million Visa loss sharing expense, noninterest expenses increased $7 million, reflecting increases in outside processing fees, the provision for credit losses on lending-related commitments and salaries expense, partially offset by a decrease in customer services expense.
-- The estimated Tier 1 common and Tier 1 capital ratios were 6.72 and 7.36 percent, respectively, both within the targeted ranges.
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin (dollar amounts in millions) 2nd Qtr '08 1st Qtr '08 2nd Qtr '07 Net interest income $442 * $476 $509 Net interest margin 2.91 %* 3.22 % 3.76 % Selected average balances: Total earning assets $61,088 $59,518 $54,304 Total investment securities 8,296 7,222 4,085 Total loans 52,367 51,852 49,793 Total interest-bearing deposits 33,116 33,440 30,049 Total noninterest-bearing deposits 10,648 10,622 11,633 Total noninterest-bearing deposits, excluding FSD 8,825 8,728 8,356
* Second quarter 2008 net interest income declined $30 million and the net interest margin declined by 19 basis points due to a non-cash lease income charge. Excluding this charge, the net interest margin would have been 3.10%, consistent with the full-year outlook.
-- The $34 million decrease in net interest income in the second quarter 2008, when compared to first quarter 2008, resulted primarily from a $30 million non-cash charge to lease income and a decline in the net interest margin, partially offset by growth in securities and loans. The lease income charge reflected the reversal of previously recognized income. The reversal resulted from a projected change in the timing of income tax cash flows on certain structured lease transactions, which was caused by a reassessment of the likely resolution with the taxing authorities. The charge will fully reverse over the remaining lease terms (up to 20 years). Further information about the charge can be found in Tax-related Items below.
-- The net interest margin of 2.91 percent declined 31 basis points, reflecting the charge to structured lease transactions discussed above (-19 basis points) and a decreased contribution of noninterest-bearing funds in a lower rate environment.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income was $242 million for the second quarter 2008, compared to $237 million for the first quarter 2008 and $225 million for the second quarter 2007. Noninterest income in the second quarter 2008, compared to the first quarter 2008, reflected positive trends in commercial lending fees ($4 million), letter of credit fees ($3 million), foreign exchange income ($2 million) and card fees ($2 million), and higher deferred compensation asset returns ($9 million). Additionally, second quarter 2008 included a $14 million gain on sale of MasterCard shares and first quarter 2008 included a $21 million gain on sale of Visa shares (both included in "net securities gains").
Noninterest Expenses
Noninterest expenses were $423 million for the second quarter 2008, compared to $403 million for the first quarter 2008 and $411 million for the second quarter 2007. The $20 million increase in noninterest expenses in the second quarter 2008, compared to the first quarter 2008, reflected the first quarter 2008 reversal of the $13 million Visa loss sharing expense (included in "litigation and operational losses") and increases in outside processing fees ($5 million), the provision for credit losses on lending-related commitments ($3 million) and salaries expense ($2 million), partially offset by a decrease in customer services expense ($3 million). The increase in salaries expense included an increase in deferred compensation plan costs ($9 million), offset by a decrease of $9 million in share-based compensation, reflecting the annual award of restricted stock granted in the first quarter which for retirement eligible employees must be expensed in the period granted. The increase in deferred compensation plan costs was offset by an increase in deferred compensation plan asset returns in noninterest income. Certain categories of noninterest expenses are highlighted in the table below.

During the second quarter 2008, several tax-related court decisions involving other financial institutions were announced on certain structured lease transactions. In light of these recent decisions, Comerica reassessed its position and recorded an after-tax charge of $13 million to increase previously established reserves for interest on tax liabilities in the second quarter 2008, included in the "provision for income taxes." This reassessment of the size and timing of tax deductions also resulted in the lease income charge noted in Net Interest Income above.
The provision for income taxes in the first quarter 2008 reflected a benefit of $5 million resulting from an after-tax adjustment to deferred tax assets.
Credit Quality
"We have been proactive in managing problem loans, which remain largely focused in our California residential real estate development portfolio," said Babb. "Virtually all of the problem loans in our California residential real estate development portfolio were independently appraised within the last six months with the appropriate charge-offs taken and additional reserves established. The balance of our loan portfolio continued to experience solid credit metrics."
-- The allowance to loan ratio increased to 1.28 percent at June 30, 2008, from 1.16 percent at March 31, 2008.
-- The provision for loan losses and loan quality reflected continuing challenges primarily in residential real estate development located in the Western market (primarily California).
-- Net credit-related charge-offs in the Commercial Real Estate business line in the second quarter 2008 were $73 million, of which $56 million were from residential real estate developers in the Western market. Comparable numbers for the first quarter 2008 were $75 million in total, of which $58 million were from residential real estate developers in the Western market. Excluding the Western market, other Commercial Real Estate net credit-related charge-offs in the second quarter 2008 totaled $17 million, compared to $17 million in the first quarter 2008.
-- Net loan charge-offs, excluding the Commercial Real Estate business line, were $40 million in the second quarter 2008, or 35 basis points of average non-Commercial Real Estate loans, compared to $35 million, or 31 basis points, in the first quarter 2008.

There were approximately 150 million shares outstanding at June 30, 2008. No shares were repurchased in the open market in the first six months of 2008.

Full-Year 2008 Outlook Compared to Full-Year 2007 from Continuing Operations
-- Low single-digit full-year loan growth, with loans declining over the remainder of 2008.
-- Securities averaging about $8 billion for the remainder of the year.
-- Average full-year net interest margin about 3.10 percent (3.15 percent excluding the lease income charge), based on no federal funds rate changes in the third and fourth quarters of 2008, with a net interest margin of about 3.10 percent for the remainder of 2008.
-- Full-year net credit-related charge-offs of $425 million to $450 million. The provision for credit losses is expected to exceed net charge-offs.
-- Low single-digit growth in noninterest income. -- Low single-digit decline in noninterest expenses.
-- Effective tax rate of about 30 percent for the full year, with a rate of 28 percent for the remainder of 2008.
