Dallas, TX/October 20, 2021
THIRD QUARTER 2021 NET INCOME OF $262 MILLION, $1.90 PER SHARE
Solid Loan Performance Overshadowed by PPP Forgiveness
General Middle Market Loans Up 3 Percent Excluding PPP
Strong Deposit Growth and Credit Quality Continued
Repurchased $220 Million, or 3.0 Million Common Shares, Under Program
“We generated earnings of $1.90 per share and an ROE of 13.53 percent in the third quarter," said Curt C. Farmer, Comerica Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Solid loan growth in a number of business lines was overshadowed by headwinds from PPP loan forgiveness and reduced auto dealer loans due to supply constraints. We continued to drive strong deposit growth, robust fee income, and excellent credit quality. Revenue increased quarter over quarter and year over year, despite the low-rate environment. Our efficiency ratio was stable as we remained focused on managing expenses while supporting our revenue-generating activities. Also, we repurchased over 3 million shares, reducing our share count by over 2 percent. We expect economic metrics to remain relatively strong over the next year, which bodes well for growth.”

Net interest income increased $10 million, and net interest margin decreased 6 basis points compared to second quarter 2021.
•Interest income on loans increased $7 million and improved net interest margin by 6 basis points, primarily due to the net impact of PPP activity (+$2 million, +5 basis points), one additional day in the quarter (+$4 million), higher fees (+$3 million, +2 basis points) and higher non-PPP loan balances (+$2 million), which were partially offset by lower short-term rates (-$4 million, -1 basis point).
◦PPP income for the third quarter totaled $34 million, or 16 basis points, including $26 million in net accelerated fees resulting from forgiveness and $8 million in interest and regular amortization of deferred net fees combined.
•Interest income on investment securities was stable, but reduced net interest margin by 2 basis points, as the net impact of yields (-$4 million, -2 basis points) was offset by portfolio growth (+$4 million).
•Interest income on short-term investments increased $3 million and reduced net interest margin by 10 basis points, reflecting an increase in lower-yielding deposits with the Federal Reserve (+$2 million, -11 basis points) and a 5 basis point increase in the yield (+$1 million, +1 basis point).
Credit Quality
"Credit quality was excellent in the third quarter with net charge-offs of only $2 million, and criticized loans have declined to well below our historic average level," said Farmer. “Our reserve ratio decreased slightly to 1.33 percent, which reflects the positive outlook for the economy and our portfolio. Overall, our customers quickly adapted and navigated a very challenging environment. However, we remain vigilant given potential stress on our customers from lingering pandemic effects including supply chain disruptions, labor constraints and inflation. We expect our portfolio will continue to perform well, and the reserve ratio should move toward pre-pandemic levels over time."

Outlook
This outlook is based on management expectations for continued economic growth.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | Fourth Quarter 2021 Compared to Third Quarter 2021 | |
| | | | |
| Average loans | | •Non-PPP portfolio to have growth in general Middle Market and several other business lines, partly offset by a decline in Mortgage Banker Finance. This growth is expected to be more than offset by forgiveness of the bulk of PPP loans. | |
| Average deposits | | •Deposits to remain strong. | |
| Net interest income | | •Non-PPP portfolio to have lower loan fees from elevated levels mostly offset by loan growth; this is expected to be more than offset by lower PPP-related income. | |
| Credit quality | | •Strong credit quality continues. | |
| Noninterest income | | •Growth in several customer-related fee categories, more than offset by lower commercial loan fees and warrant and BOLI income. | |
| Noninterest expenses | | •Increases in seasonal expenses and technology investments, offset by lower compensation expense from elevated level. | |
| Tax rate | | •Income tax expense for full-year 2021 to be between 22 and 23 percent of pre-tax income, excluding discrete items. | |
| Capital | | •CET1 target of approximately 10 percent. | |

| RECONCILIATIONS OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND REGULATORY RATIOS (unaudited) |
| Comerica Incorporated and Subsidiaries | | | | |
| | | | | |
Comerica believes non-GAAP measures are meaningful because they reflect adjustments commonly made by management, investors, regulators and analysts to evaluate the adequacy of common equity and our performance trends. Tangible common equity is used by Comerica to measure the quality of capital and the return relative to balance sheet risk.
Common equity tier 1 capital ratio removes preferred stock from the Tier 1 capital ratio as defined by and calculated in conformity with bank regulations. The tangible common equity ratio removes the effect of intangible assets from capital and 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.
