"Broad-based average loan growth in each of our primary geographic markets, together with tight expense controls, contributed to our increased net income in the first quarter," said Ralph W. Babb Jr., chairman and chief executive officer. "Our commercial banking expertise drove our overall loan growth. An expected decline in Mortgage Banker Finance was more than offset by increases in general Middle Market, National Dealer Services, Energy, and Technology and Life Sciences. Credit quality continued to be stable.

"We remain focused on total payout to shareholders, reflected by share repurchases and dividends, while maintaining our strong capital ratios. We repurchased 2.1 million shares in the first quarter and combined with dividends, we returned 77 percent of first quarter net income to shareholders. On March 14, we announced that the Federal Reserve had completed its 2013 capital plan review and did not object to our capital plan and contemplated capital distributions. Our capital plan includes up to $288 million in share repurchases for the four-quarter period that ends in the first quarter 2014."

First Quarter 2013 Compared to Fourth Quarter 2012


    --  Average total loans increased $498 million, or 1 percent, to $44.6
        billion, primarily reflecting an increase of $594 million, or 2 percent,
        in commercial loans, partially offset by a decrease of $106 million, or
        1 percent, in combined commercial mortgage and real estate construction
        loans. A $356 million decrease in Mortgage Banker Finance was more than
        offset by broad-based increases in other business lines, including
        general Middle Market, National Dealer Services, Energy, and Technology
        and Life Sciences. Period-end total loans decreased $990 million, or 2
        percent, to $45.1 billion, primarily reflecting a decrease of $687
        million in Mortgage Banker Finance.
    --  Average total deposits decreased $590 million, to $50.7 billion,
        primarily reflecting a decrease of $1.3 billion, or 6 percent, in
        noninterest-bearing deposits. The decrease in average
        noninterest-bearing deposits reflected a $675 million decrease in the
        Financial Services Division, which provides services to title and escrow
        companies. Period-end total deposits decreased $74 million to $52.1
        billion, reflecting a decrease of $502 million in noninterest-bearing
        deposits, largely offset by increases of $267 million in money market
        and interest-bearing checking deposits and $222 million in customer
        certificates of deposit.
    --  Net interest income was $416 million in the first quarter 2013, compared
        to $424 million in the fourth quarter 2012. The $8 million decrease in
        net interest income was primarily due to two fewer days in the first
        quarter. Accretion of the purchase discount on the acquired loan
        portfolio was $11 million in the first quarter 2013, compared to $13
        million in the fourth quarter 2012.
    --  Stable credit quality continued in the first quarter 2013. The provision
        for credit losses of $16 million in the first quarter 2013 was unchanged
        compared to the fourth quarter 2012.
    --  Noninterest income decreased $4 million to $200 million in the first
        quarter 2013, compared to $204 million in the fourth quarter 2012,
        primarily reflecting decreases in customer derivative income and
        commercial lending fees from high fourth quarter 2012 levels.
    --  Noninterest expenses decreased $11 million to $416 million in the first
        quarter 2013, compared to $427 million in the fourth quarter 2012,
        primarily due to a decrease in salaries expense.
    --  Comerica repurchased 2.1 million shares of common stock ($71 million) in
        the first quarter 2013 under the 2012 capital plan. Combined with
        dividends, 77 percent of net income was returned to shareholders in the
        first quarter 2013.
    --  As previously announced, the Federal Reserve completed its review of
        Comerica's 2013 capital plan in the first quarter 2013 and did not
        object to the capital distributions contemplated in the plan, including
        up to $288 million of share repurchases for the four-quarter period
        ending March 31, 2014.
    --  Capital remained solid at March 31, 2013, as evidenced by an estimated
        Tier 1 common capital ratio of 10.40 percent and an estimated Tier 1
        common capital ratio under fully phased-in Basel III (as proposed) of
        9.4 percent.

    --  Net interest income of $416 million in the first quarter 2013 decreased
        $8 million compared to the fourth quarter 2012.
        --  Two fewer days in the first quarter 2013 decreased net interest
            income by $7 million.
        --  An increase in loan volumes increased net interest income by $4
            million.
        --  Lower loan yields due to shifts in the loan portfolio mix decreased
            net interest income by $2 million and a decline in LIBOR decreased
            net interest income by $1 million.
        --  A decrease in the accretion of the purchase discount on the acquired
            loan portfolio decreased net interest income by $2 million.
        --  A decrease in funding costs increased net interest income by $2
            million. The rate paid on total average interest-bearing deposits
            decreased 1 basis point to 21 basis points for the first quarter
            2013.
        --  Lower reinvestment yields on mortgage-backed investment securities
            and a decrease in average balances decreased net interest income by
            $2 million.
    --  Average earning assets decreased $669 million in the first quarter 2013,
        compared to the fourth quarter 2012, primarily reflecting decreases of
        $969 million in excess liquidity and $229 million in average investment
        securities available-for-sale, partially offset by a $498 million
        increase in average loans.
    --  The net interest margin of 2.88 percent increased 1 basis point compared
        to the fourth quarter 2012. The increase in net interest margin was
        primarily due to the benefit provided by a decrease in excess liquidity
        (4 basis points) and lower deposit costs (1 basis point), partially
        offset by lower loan yields (2 basis points), lower accretion on the
        acquired loan portfolio (1 basis point) and lower yields on
        mortgage-backed investment securities (1 basis point).

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income decreased $4 million to $200 million for the first quarter 2013, compared to $204 million for the fourth quarter 2012. The decrease was primarily due to decreases of $5 million in customer derivative income and $4 million in commercial lending fees, both from high fourth quarter 2012 levels, partially offset by a $3 million seasonal increase in service charges on deposit accounts.

Noninterest Expenses
Noninterest expenses decreased $11 million to $416 million in the first quarter 2013, compared to $427 million in the fourth quarter 2012. The decrease was primarily due to decreases of $8 million in salaries expense, largely reflecting two fewer days in the quarter and a decrease in severance expense, $3 million in net occupancy expense, $2 million in restructuring expenses and $2 million in other real estate expense, partially offset by an increase of $4 million in employee benefits expense, primarily due to an increase in pension expense.

Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes was $50 million in the first quarter 2013, compared to $55 million in the fourth quarter 2012. The fourth quarter 2012 provision for income taxes included adjustments for certain discrete state tax items totaling $5 million.

Credit Quality
"Our strong credit culture continued to be reflected in solid credit quality metrics," said Babb. "We had lower net charge-offs along with a decline in nonperforming assets. Our provision for credit losses was basically unchanged from the fourth quarter 2012."

    --  Nonaccrual loans decreased $25 million, to $494 million at March 31,
        2013, compared to $519 million at December 31, 2012.
    --  Internal watch list loans remained stable at $3.1 billion at both March
        31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
    --  During the first quarter 2013, $34 million of borrower relationships
        over $2 million were transferred to nonaccrual status, a decrease of $2
        million from the fourth quarter 2012.

Full-Year 2013 Outlook
For full-year 2013, management expects the following compared to 2012, assuming a continuation of the current slow growing economic environment:

    --  Continued growth in average loans at a slower pace, with economic
        uncertainty impacting demand and a continued focus on maintaining
        pricing and structure discipline in a competitive environment.
    --  Lower net interest income, reflecting both a decline of $40 million to
        $50 million in purchase accounting accretion and the effect of continued
        low rates. Loan growth should partially offset the impact of low rates
        on loans and securities.
    --  Provision for credit losses stable, reflecting loan growth offset by a
        decline in nonperforming loans and net charge-offs.
    --  Customer-driven noninterest income relatively stable, reflecting
        cross-sell initiatives and selective pricing adjustments partially
        offset by regulatory pressures on certain products, such as customer
        derivatives. Outlook does not include expectations for non-customer
        driven income.
    --  Lower noninterest expense, reflecting further cost savings due to tight
        expense control and no restructuring expenses.
    --  Effective tax rate of approximately 27.5 percent.

    --  Average loans increased $428 million, primarily reflecting an increase
        in Middle Market, partially offset by a decrease in Mortgage Banker
        Finance. The increase in Middle Market was primarily due to increases in
        general Middle Market, National Dealer Services, Energy, and Technology
        and Life Sciences.
    --  Average deposits decreased $537 million, primarily reflecting a decrease
        in Middle Market, partially offset by an increase in Corporate. The
        decrease in Middle Market was primarily due to decreases in the
        Financial Services Division, Technology and Life Sciences, and Energy.
    --  Net interest income decreased $12 million, primarily due to two fewer
        days in the quarter, a decrease in funds transfer pricing (FTP) credits,
        due to a decrease in average deposits, and lower loan yields, partially
        offset by the benefit provided by an increase in average loans.
    --  The provision for credit losses increased $14 million, primarily
        reflecting an increase due to the impact of enhancements to the approach
        used to estimate probability of default statistics used in determining
        the allowance for loan losses, partially offset by improvements in
        credit quality.
    --  Noninterest income decreased $2 million, primarily due to decreases in
        commercial lending fees, customer derivative income and letter of credit
        fees, partially offset by an increase in service charges on deposit
        accounts.
    --  Noninterest expenses decreased $3 million, primarily due to decreases in
        salaries expense and legal fees.

These forward-looking statements are predicated on the beliefs and assumptions of Comerica's management based on information known to Comerica's management as of the date of this news release and do not purport to speak as of any other date. Forward-looking statements may include descriptions of plans and objectives of Comerica's management for future or past operations, products or services, and forecasts of Comerica's revenue, earnings or other measures of economic performance, including statements of profitability, business segments and subsidiaries, estimates of credit trends and global stability. Such statements reflect the view of Comerica's management as of this date with respect to future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Should one or more of these risks materialize or should underlying beliefs or assumptions prove incorrect, Comerica's actual results could differ materially from those discussed. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences are changes in general economic, political or industry conditions; changes in monetary and fiscal policies, including the interest rate policies of the Federal Reserve Board; volatility and disruptions in global capital and credit markets; changes in Comerica's credit rating; the interdependence of financial service companies; changes in regulation or oversight; unfavorable developments concerning credit quality; any future acquisitions or divestitures; the effects of more stringent capital or liquidity requirements; declines or other changes in the businesses or industries of Comerica's customers; the implementation of Comerica's strategies and business models; Comerica's ability to utilize technology to efficiently and effectively develop, market and deliver new products and services; operational difficulties, failure of technology infrastructure or information security incidents; changes in the financial markets, including fluctuations in interest rates and their impact on deposit pricing; competitive product and pricing pressures among financial institutions within Comerica's markets; changes in customer behavior; management's ability to maintain and expand customer relationships; management's ability to retain key officers and employees; the impact of legal and regulatory proceedings or determinations; the effectiveness of methods of reducing risk exposures; the effects of terrorist activities and other hostilities; the effects of catastrophic events including, but not limited to, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, fires, droughts and floods; changes in accounting standards and the critical nature of Comerica's accounting policies. Comerica cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. For discussion of factors that may cause actual results to differ from expectations, please refer to our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In particular, please refer to "Item 1A. Risk Factors" beginning on page 13 of Comerica's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Comerica does not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect facts, circumstances, assumptions or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements are made. For any forward-looking statements made in this news release or in any documents, Comerica claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

    (a) Tier 1 capital and
     risk-weighted assets as
     defined by regulation.

    (b) March 31, 2013 Tier 1
     capital and risk-weighted
     assets are estimated.

    (c) March 31, 2013 Basel
     III Tier 1 capital and
     risk-weighted assets are
     estimated based on the
     proposed rules for the
     U.S. adoption of the Basel
     III regulatory capital
     framework issued in June
     2012.

The Tier 1 common capital ratio removes preferred stock and qualifying trust preferred securities from Tier 1 capital as defined by and calculated in conformity with bank regulations. The Basel III Tier 1 common capital ratio further adjusts Tier 1 common capital and risk-weighted assets to account for the proposed changes issued in the U.S. banking regulators proposed rules for the U.S. adoption of the Basel III regulatory capital framework issued in June 2012. 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.
