FULL-YEAR 2021 NET INCOME OF $1.2 BILLION, $8.35 PER SHARE AND
FOURTH QUARTER 2021 NET INCOME OF $228 MILLION, $1.66 PER SHARE
Robust Deposit Growth Supported Positive Trends in Loan Portfolio
Strong Credit Quality and Fee Generation
Active Capital Management
“Our 2021 financial results were strong as we generated record earnings per share of $8.35," said Curt C. Farmer, Comerica Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Average deposits grew 19 percent, which supported solid loan performance in a number of businesses and provided significant excess liquidity to fund future growth. Revenue increased to $3.0 billion. While net interest income was challenged by the ultra-low-rate environment, noninterest income growth was broad-based, increasing 12 percent to an all-time high. Credit quality was excellent, and we released credit reserves. As a result of strong capital generation, we returned $1.1 billion to common shareholders through dividends and repurchases of 9.5 million, or 7 percent, of total shares. Altogether, this drove ROE to over 15 percent and ROA to 1.30 percent.
“With respect to the fourth quarter, excluding a nearly $1 billion decrease in PPP loans, average loans grew more than $600 million and we continued to drive very strong deposit growth. Robust fee income, exceptional credit quality and continued active capital management were also positive contributors to our performance. Expenses reflect investments in our people and technology to support our revenue-generating activities.
"As we look forward to the year ahead, we remain keenly focused on driving growth while maintaining our proven expense discipline as we invest in our businesses. Our customers and colleagues have successfully navigated the challenges of the past two years and today stand stronger and more confident about the future.”

Net interest income decreased $14 million, and net interest margin decreased 19 basis points compared to third quarter 2021.
•Interest income on loans decreased $18 million and reduced net interest margin by 7 basis points, primarily due to the net impact of PPP activity (-$18 million, -6 basis points). Increases in interest income and margin from higher non-PPP loan balances (+$5 million, +1 basis point) were offset by swap maturities and lower rate floors (-$4 million, -1 basis point) as well as other portfolio dynamics (-$1 million, -1 basis point).
◦PPP income for the fourth quarter totaled $16 million, or 6 basis points, including $13 million in net accelerated fees resulting from forgiveness and $3 million in interest and regular amortization of deferred net fees combined.
•Interest income on investment securities increased $1 million, but reduced net interest margin by 1 basis point, as portfolio growth (+$3 million) was partially offset by the net impact of yields (-$2 million, -1 basis point).
•Interest income on short-term investments increased $2 million and reduced net interest margin by 11 basis points due to an increase in lower-yielding deposits with the Federal Reserve.
•Interest expense on debt decreased $1 million.
Credit Quality
"Credit metrics continued to be excellent, as evidenced by net recoveries for the quarter as well as the year, a feat not achieved in at least 30 years," said Farmer. "Criticized and nonaccrual loans decreased again in the fourth quarter, remaining at very low levels. Our allowance for credit losses declined to 1.26 percent of loans; yet coverage of nonperforming assets increased to 2.3 times. Assuming the economy remains strong, and the impacts of supply chain issues, labor constraints as well as inflation remain muted, we expect our allowance ratio to decline modestly over the next year."

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.
