"Fee income growth, expense control and continued solid credit quality contributed to our 28 percent year-over-year increase in earnings per share," said Ralph W. Babb Jr., chairman and chief executive officer. "Average total loans were up $497 million, or 1 percent, on a year-over-year basis, but decreased $799 million, or 2 percent, compared to the second quarter. Loan volume in the third quarter compared to the second quarter was impacted by the continued economic uncertainty and the understandable caution of our customers, as well as seasonality in auto-dealer floor plan loans and a decline in refinance volumes impacting our mortgage warehouse business.
"Average total deposits increased $2 billion, or 4 percent, year-over-year, and $417 million, or 1 percent over second quarter, to $51.9 billion. Net interest income remained relatively stable, credit quality continued to be strong, and noninterest income grew quarter over quarter, reflecting an increase in customer-driven fee income. Our capital position continued to be a source of strength to support our growth.
"We believe our footprint is well situated in Texas, California and Michigan, and that our relationship banking strategy contributes to our continued success."
Third Quarter 2013 Compared to Third Quarter 2012
-- Average total loans increased $497 million, or 1 percent, primarily reflecting an increase of $1.1 billion, or 4 percent, in commercial loans, partially offset by a decrease of $594 million, or 5 percent, in combined commercial mortgage and real estate construction loans. The increase in commercial loans was primarily driven by increases in National Dealer Services, general Middle Market and Energy, partially offset by a decrease in Corporate Banking. -- Average total deposits increased $2.0 billion, or 4 percent, primarily reflecting increases of $1.1 billion, or 4 percent, in interest-bearing deposits and $910 million, or 4 percent, in noninterest-bearing deposits. -- Net income increased by $30 million, or 25 percent, primarily as a result of improving credit quality reflected in lower provision for credit losses, higher customer-driven fees and lower noninterest expenses, partially offset by a decrease in net interest income. The decrease in net interest income was primarily due to a decrease in loan yields and a decrease in accretion on the acquired loan portfolio, partially offset by loan growth and a decrease in funding costs.
Third Quarter 2013 Compared to Second Quarter 2013
-- Average total loans decreased $799 million, or 2 percent, to $44.1 billion, primarily reflecting decreases of $634 million, or 2 percent, in commercial loans and $180 million, or 2 percent, in combined commercial mortgage and real estate construction loans. The decrease in commercial loans was primarily driven by decreases in general Middle Market, National Dealer Services and Mortgage Banker Finance, partially offset by an increase in Technology and Life Sciences. The declines generally reflected subdued demand due to economic uncertainty, a seasonal decline in auto dealer floor plan loans and a decrease in mortgage refinancing activity. Period-end total loans decreased $1.3 billion to $44.2 billion, primarily reflecting a $1.3 billion decrease in commercial loans. The decrease in commercial loans was primarily driven by decreases in Mortgage Banker Finance and National Dealer Services. -- Investment securities available-for-sale decreased $413 million, or 4 percent, to $9.4 billion on an average basis and decreased $143 million, or 1 percent, to $9.5 billion on period-end basis as a result of a full quarter impact of the decline in the fair value of the portfolio due to the rise in long-term rates and a slowdown in the pace of purchases to replace repayments. -- Average total deposits increased $417 million, or 1 percent, to $51.9 billion, reflecting increases in most lines of business. Period-end deposits increased $1.7 billion, primarily reflecting an increase of $2.0 billion in noninterest-bearing deposits. -- Net interest income remained relatively stable at $412 million in the third quarter 2013, compared to $414 million in the second quarter 2013, as the benefit from one additional day in the third quarter and improved yields in the securities portfolio was more than offset by the impact of a decline in loan balances and lower loan yields. -- The provision for credit losses decreased $5 million to $8 million in the third quarter 2013, compared to $13 million in the second quarter 2013, reflecting continued strong credit quality and decreases in loan balances. -- Noninterest income increased $6 million to $214 million in the third quarter 2013 primarily reflecting an increase in customer-driven income of $4 million. -- Noninterest expenses increased $1 million to $417 million in the third quarter 2013, primarily reflecting a $10 million increase in salaries and employee benefits expense, partially offset by a $6 million decrease in litigation-related expenses and a $4 million decrease in write-downs on other foreclosed assets. -- Comerica repurchased 1.7 million shares of common stock ($72 million) in the third quarter 2013 under the share repurchase program. Combined with dividends, 70 percent of net income was returned to shareholders in the third quarter 2013. -- Capital remained solid at September 30, 2013, as evidenced by an estimated Tier 1 common capital ratio of 10.74 percent and a tangible common equity ratio of 9.87 percent.
Net Interest Income ------------------- (dollar amounts 3rd Qtr 2nd Qtr 3rd Qtr in millions) '13 '13 '12 --------------- -------- -------- -------- Net interest income $412 $414 $427 Net interest margin 2.79% 2.83% 2.96% Selected average balances: Total earning assets $58,892 $58,928 $57,801 Total loans 44,094 44,893 43,597 Total investment securities 9,380 9,793 9,791 Federal Reserve Bank deposits (excess liquidity) 5,156 3,968 4,160 Total deposits 51,865 51,448 49,845 Total noninterest- bearing deposits 22,379 22,076 21,469 ----------------- ------ ------ ------
-- Net interest income of $412 million in the third quarter 2013 decreased $2 million compared to the second quarter 2013. -- Interest on loans decreased by $7 million, primarily reflecting a decrease in loan volumes, including volume shifts in business mix ($6 million); lower loan yields due to a decline in LIBOR ($1 million); and other loan portfolio dynamics, reflecting positive credit migration and other shifts in portfolio mix ($5 million); partially offset by one additional day in the third quarter ($4 million) and an increase in the accretion of the purchase discount on the acquired loan portfolio ($1 million). -- Interest on mortgage-backed investment securities increased net interest income by $2 million, primarily as a result of improvement in yields due to slowing prepayment speeds ($4 million), partially offset by a decrease in average balances ($2 million). -- Interest on other short-term investments increased net interest income by $1 million as a result of an increase in balances deposited with the Federal Reserve Bank. -- A decrease in funding costs increased net interest income by $2 million, primarily reflecting lower deposit pricing and a shift in the deposit mix, as well as a lower interest expense as a result of a full-quarter impact from the maturity of debt in the second quarter 2013. -- The net interest margin of 2.79 percent decreased 4 basis points compared to the second quarter 2013. The decrease in net interest margin was primarily due to an increase in excess liquidity (-5 basis points) and lower loan yields (-3 basis points), partially offset by the impact of yield improvements on mortgage-backed securities (+3 basis points) and lower funding costs (+1 basis point). -- Average earning assets remained stable at $58.9 billion in the third quarter 2013, compared to the second quarter 2013, as an increase of $1.2 billion in excess liquidity offset decreases of $799 million in average loans and $413 million in average investment securities available-for-sale.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income increased $6 million to $214 million for the third quarter 2013, compared to $208 million for the second quarter 2013. Customer-driven fee income increased $4 million and noncustomer-driven income increased $2 million. The increase in customer-driven fee income was primarily due to an increase in commercial lending fees of $6 million. The increase in noncustomer-driven income was primarily due to a $5 million increase in warrant income, partially offset by a decrease in income recognized from our third-party credit card provider reflecting a change in the timing of the recognition of incentives from annually to quarterly in the third quarter.
Noninterest Expenses
Noninterest expenses of $417 million in the third quarter 2013 remained relatively stable compared to the second quarter 2013, as a $10 million increase in salaries and employee benefits expense was largely offset by a $6 million decrease in litigation-related expenses as well as a $4 million decrease in write-downs on other foreclosed assets. The increase in salaries and employee benefits reflected one additional day in the third quarter 2013 and year-to-date adjustments to incentive compensation based on favorable performance relative to peers.
Credit Quality
"Credit quality continued to be strong resulting in an $8 million provision," said Babb. "Net charge-offs increased slightly from their low level, while nonperforming assets and watch list loans declined."

-- Nonaccrual loans decreased $12 million, to $437 million at September 30, 2013, compared to $449 million at June 30, 2013. -- Internal watch list loans decreased $210 million, to $2.7 billion at September 30, 2013, compared to $2.9 billion at June 30, 2013. -- During the third quarter 2013, $50 million of borrower relationships over $2 million were transferred to nonaccrual status, an increase of $13 million from the second quarter 2013.
Balance Sheet and Capital Management
Total assets and common shareholders' equity were $64.7 billion and $7.0 billion, respectively, at September 30, 2013, compared to $62.9 billion and $6.9 billion, respectively, at June 30, 2013. The $1.8 billion increase in total assets primarily reflected an increase of $2.9 billion in excess liquidity, partially offset by a decrease in loans of $1.3 billion.
There were approximately 184 million common shares outstanding at September 30, 2013. Diluted weighted average shares of 187 million at September 30, 2013 were unchanged compared to June 30, 2013, as the impact of the repurchase of $72 million of common stock (1.7 million shares) under the share repurchase program during the third quarter 2013 was offset by the impact of an increase in share dilution from options and warrants due to an increase in Comerica's stock price. Combined with the dividend of $0.17 per share, share repurchases under the share repurchase program and dividends returned 70 percent of third quarter 2013 net income to shareholders.
Comerica's tangible common equity ratio was 9.87 percent at September 30, 2013, a decrease of 17 basis points from June 30, 2013. The estimated Tier 1 common capital ratio increased 31 basis points, to 10.74 percent at September 30, 2013, from June 30, 2013. The estimated Tier 1 common ratio under fully phased-in Basel III capital rules and excluding most elements of AOCI was 10.4 percent percent at September 30, 2013.
Full-Year and Fourth Quarter 2013 Outlook
Management expectations for full-year 2013 compared to full-year 2012 have not changed from the previously provided outlook, with the exception of customer-driven fees, which are expected to be modestly higher based on strong third quarter results.
For fourth quarter 2013, management expects the following, assuming a continuation of the current slow growing economic environment:
-- Average loans for the fourth quarter 2013 are expected to be stable compared to third quarter 2013, reflecting auto-dealer floor plan loans rebounding from seasonal low along with continued decline in mortgage warehouse lending and economic uncertainty impacting demand. -- Net interest income is expected to be lower for the fourth quarter 2013, compared to third quarter 2013, due to the continued impact from the low rate environment and a decrease in purchase accounting accretion. -- The provision for credit losses for the fourth quarter 2013 is expected to remain low, similar to the levels in previous 2013 quarters. -- Customer-driven noninterest income for the fourth quarter 2013 is expected to be relatively stable compared to third quarter 2013, while noncustomer-driven noninterest income is expected to be lower. -- Fourth quarter 2013 noninterest expense is expected to be slightly lower compared to third quarter 2013, reflecting continued tight expense control.

(a) Tier 1 capital and risk- weighted assets as defined by regulation. (b) September 30, 2013 Tier 1 capital and risk-weighted assets are estimated. (c) Estimated ratios based on the standardized approach in the final rule for the U.S. adoption of the Basel III regulatory capital framework and excluding most elements of AOCI.
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 final rule approved by U.S. banking regulators in July 2013 for the U.S. adoption of the Basel III regulatory capital framework. The final Basel III capital rules are effective January 1, 2015 for banking organizations subject to the standardized approach. 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.
