"Our customer relationship focus supported loan and deposit growth in the third quarter, despite a slow growing national economy," said Ralph W. Babb Jr., chairman and chief executive officer. "Average loans were up $369 million, or 1 percent, compared to the second quarter, primarily reflecting an increase of $717 million, or 3 percent, in commercial loans. This was the ninth consecutive quarter of average commercial loan growth, resulting in more than a 20 percent year-over-year increase, including our acquisition of Sterling in July 2011. The increase in average commercial loans in the third quarter was primarily driven by increases in Mortgage Banker Finance, Technology and Life Sciences, and Energy.
"Net interest income declined slightly, reflecting the expected continued shift in loan portfolio mix and decline in accretion, as well as a decline in nonaccrual interest received and a leasing residual value adjustment. Lower loan and securities portfolio yields were partially offset by increased loan volume.''

"Strong noninterest-bearing deposit growth continued in the third quarter. We had record average deposits of $50 billion in the third quarter 2012, with an increase of $1 billion, primarily driven by the increase in noninterest-bearing deposits.
"Our capital position remained a source of strength. We repurchased 2.9 million shares in the third quarter under our share repurchase program. Combined with our dividend, we returned $119 million to shareholders in the third quarter."
Third Quarter 2012 Compared to Second Quarter 2012
• | Average total loans increased $369 million, or 1 percent, primarily reflecting an increase of $717 million, or 3 percent, in commercial loans, partially offset by a decrease of $344 million, or 3 percent, in commercial real estate loans (commercial mortgage and real estate construction loans). The increase in commercial loans was primarily driven by increases in Mortgage Banker Finance, Technology and Life Sciences and Energy. |
• | Average total deposits increased $1.2 billion, to $49.9 billion, primarily reflecting an increase of $1.3 billion, or 7 percent, in noninterest-bearing deposits. |
• | Strong credit quality continued in the third quarter 2012. Nonaccrual loans decreased $54 million, to $665 million at September 30, 2012. Net credit-related charge-offs decreased $2 million to $43 million, or 0.39 percent of average loans, in the third quarter 2012. The provision for credit losses was $22 million in the third quarter 2012 compared to $19 million in the second quarter 2012. |
• | Net interest income was $427 million in the third quarter 2012 compared to $435 million in the second quarter 2012. The $8 million decrease in net interest income was primarily due to a decline in nonaccrual interest received($4 million) and a leasing residual value adjustment ($2 million), as well as the expected continued shift in the mix of the loan portfolio ($6 million), a decrease in the accretion of the purchase discount on the acquired Sterling loan portfolio ($3 million) and lower reinvestment yields on mortgage-backed investment securities ($2 million), partially offset by lower funding costs ($2 million), an increase in loan volumes ($3 million) and one more day in the third quarter ($4 million). |
• | Noninterest income was $197 million in the third quarter 2012 compared to $211 million for the second quarter 2012. The $14 million decrease was primarily due to decreases in certain non-customer driven income categories. Net securities gains of $6 million and a $5 million annual incentive bonus received in the second quarter 2012 were not repeated in the third quarter, and net income from principal investing and warrants declined $3 million. |
• | Noninterest expenses were $449 million in the third quarter 2012, compared to $433 million in the second quarter 2012. The $16 million increase primarily reflected a $17 million increase in restructuring expenses related to the Sterling acquisition. |
• | Comerica repurchased 2.9 million shares of common stock under the share repurchase program in the third quarter 2012. Combined with the dividend, and in accordance with the capital plan approved earlier this year, $119 million, or 101 percent of net income, was returned to shareholders in the third quarter (89 percent, excluding the third quarter restructuring charge). |

• | Net interest income of $427 million in the third quarter 2012 decreased $8 million compared to the second quarter 2012. |
◦ | Second quarter 2012 included an unusually high amount of interest received on nonaccrual loans, which declined by $4 million in the third quarter. In addition, third quarter 2012 included a $2 million negative residual value adjustment to assets in the leasing portfolio. |
◦ | The continued shift in the loan portfolio mix reduced net interest income $6 million, primarily due to the decrease in higher-yielding commercial real estate loans, the increase in lower-yielding commercial loans, the maturity of higher-yielding fixed-rate loans and positive credit quality migration throughout the loan portfolio. |
◦ | Accretion of the purchase discount on the acquired Sterling loan portfolio decreased $3 million, to $15 million in the third quarter 2012, compared to $18 million in the second quarter 2012. For the fourth quarter of 2012, $7 million to $9 million of accretion is expected to be recognized. |
◦ | Interest earned on investment securities available-for-sale decreased $2 million, as a result of lower reinvestment yields on mortgage-backed investment securities. |
◦ | An increase in loan volumes ($3 million), one more day in the third quarter ($4 million) and lower funding costs ($2 million) partially offset the items noted above. |
• | Average earning assets increased $1.1 billion in the third quarter 2012, compared to the second quarter 2012, primarily reflecting a $697 million increase in excess liquidity and a $369 million increase in average loans. |
• | Average deposits increased $1.2 billion in the third quarter 2012, compared to the second quarter 2012, primarily due to a $1.3 billion increase in average noninterest-bearing deposits, partially offset by a decrease in customer certificates of deposit. The rate paid on total average interest-bearing deposits decreased 1 basis point, to 24 basis points. |
• | Net interest margin of 2.96 percent decreased 14 basis points compared to the second quarter 2012. In addition to the decrease from the unusually high amount of nonaccrual interest received in the second quarter (3 basis points) and the negative leasing residual value adjustment in the third quarter (2 basis points), net interest margin was negatively impacted by lower accretion on the acquired Sterling loan portfolio (2 basis points), continued shift in mix in the loan portfolio (3 basis points), lower reinvestment yields on mortgage-backed securities (2 basis points) and the increase in excess liquidity (3 basis points). Lower funding costs partially offset the decline (1 basis point). |
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income totaled $197 million for the third quarter 2012 compared to $211 million for the second quarter 2012. The $14 million decrease was primarily due to decreases in certain non-customer driven income categories. Net securities gains of $6 million and a $5 million annual incentive bonus received from Comerica's third-party credit card provider in the second quarter 2012 were not repeated in the third quarter, and net income from principal investing and warrants declined $3 million. Additionally, customer derivative

COMERICA REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2012 NET INCOME OF $117 MILLION - 4
income decreased $3 million in the third quarter 2012. These declines were partially offset by a $5 million increase in deferred compensation asset returns. The increase in deferred compensation asset returns is offset by an increase in deferred compensation expense in noninterest expenses.
Noninterest Expenses
Noninterest expenses totaled $449 million in the third quarter 2012 compared to $433 million in the second quarter 2012. The $16 million increase was primarily due to increases of $17 million in restructuring expenses and $3 million in salaries expense, partially offset by a decrease of $5 million in legal expenses. Additionally, noninterest expenses were reduced by $6 million in the third quarter 2012 and $3 million in the second quarter due to gains on sales of assets. Restructuring charges related to the Sterling acquisition are substantially complete. The increase in salaries expense was primarily due to a $5 million increase in deferred compensation expense, partially offset by a $3 million decrease in executive incentive compensation.
Credit Quality
"Credit quality continued to be strong," said Babb. "With 39 basis points of net charge-offs and watch list loans at 8.3 percent of the total loan portfolio, we are well within our historical normal range."

• | During the third quarter 2012, $35 million of borrower relationships over $2 million were transferred to nonaccrual status, a decrease of $12 million from the second quarter 2012. |
Balance Sheet and Capital Management
Total assets and common shareholders' equity were $63.3 billion and $7.1 billion, respectively, at September 30, 2012, compared to $62.7 billion and 7.0 billion, respectively, at June 30, 2012. There were approximately 191 million common shares outstanding at September 30, 2012. Comerica repurchased $90 million of common stock (2.9 million shares) under the share repurchase program during the third quarter 2012. Combined with the dividend of $0.15 per share in the third quarter 2012, and in accordance with the capital plan approved earlier this year, share repurchases and dividends returned 101 percent of third quarter 2012 net income to shareholders (89 percent, excluding the third quarter restructuring charge).
Comerica's tangible common equity ratio was 10.25% at September 30, 2012, a decrease of 2 basis points from June 30, 2012. The estimated Tier 1 common capital ratio decreased 6 basis points, to 10.32% at September 30, 2012, from June 30, 2012.
