COMERICA ISSUES REVISED 2013 RESULTS BASED ON
UNFAVORABLE JURY VERDICT

DALLAS/January 21, 2014 -- Comerica Incorporated (NYSE: CMA) today issued revised 2013 results based on an unfavorable Montana jury verdict, entered at approximately 7:30 p.m. ET on January 17, 2014. The Montana litigation (“the case”) in which Comerica Bank (“the Bank”) was a third-party defendant, was tried before the Montana Second District Judicial Court for Silver Bow County in Butte, Montana. The claims underlying the lawsuit against the Bank grew out of an initial $9 million revolving line of credit loan extended by the Bank to Masters Group International, Inc. (“Masters”), a then Michigan-based office supply company, in 2006, that was subsequently increased to $10.5 million and later paid in full through collection actions taken by the Bank following a default by Masters.
Following the jury’s decision on the case, Comerica increased its reserve for litigation and decreased incentive compensation expense based on the revised results, effective as of December 31, 2013, which resulted in a decrease in net income of $28 million, or 15 cents per share, for the fourth quarter 2013.
Comerica reiterates its previously stated outlook for 2014, excluding the impact of this event.
"As we consider possible courses of action, including appealing the decision to the Montana Supreme Court, the sole appellate court for the state of Montana, we recorded a charge in the fourth quarter 2013 in accordance with applicable accounting principles,” said Ralph W. Babb Jr., chairman and chief executive officer. "We believe we had meritorious defenses for this litigation and anticipated a favorable outcome.”
Net income decreased by $28 million, or 15 cents per share, to $117 million, or 62 cents per share for the fourth quarter 2013, compared to previously reported net income of $145 million, or 77 cents per share. For the year ended December 31, 2013, net income decreased to $541 million, or $2.85 per share, as compared to previously reported net income of $569 million, or $3.00 per share. As revised, full-year 2013 net income increased $20 million, or 4 percent, compared to 2012, and earnings per diluted share increased 18 cents, or 7 percent. At December 31, 2013, the revised estimated Tier 1 common capital ratio was 10.56 percent, as compared to the previously reported ratio of 10.60 percent. The estimated Basel III Tier 1 common capital ratio remained at 10.3 percent.
The following table summarizes the impact of the revisions on the previously reported financial results.

COMERICA ISSUES REVISED 2013 RESULTS - 2

The impact of the change in legal reserves primarily affects the Business Bank and the Michigan market. The revised financial results, including segment results, will be reflected in Comerica’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. All other revised financial results are included in the financial information that follows.
Comerica Bank is a subsidiary of Comerica Incorporated, a financial services company headquartered in Dallas, Texas, and strategically aligned by three major business segments: The Business Bank, The Retail Bank and Wealth Management. Comerica focuses on relationships and helping people and businesses be successful. In addition to Texas, Comerica Bank locations can be found in Arizona, California, Florida and Michigan, with select businesses operating in several other states, as well as in Canada and Mexico.
This press release contains both financial measures based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) and non-GAAP based financial measures, which are used where management believes it to be helpful in understanding Comerica's results of operations or financial position. Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as a reconciliation to the comparable GAAP financial measure, can be found in this press release. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.

(a) Tier 1 capital and risk-weighted assets as defined by regulation.
(b) December 31, 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.
