DALLAS/January 22, 2009 — Comerica Incorporated (NYSE: CMA) today reported fourth quarter 2008 net income applicable to common stock of $3 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to $28 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, for the third quarter 2008 and $119 million, or $0.79 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter 2007.  Fourth quarter and full-year 2008 net income applicable to common stock were each net of $17 million of accumulated preferred stock dividends related to perpetual preferred shares issued to the U. S. Treasury as part of the Capital Purchase Program (the Purchase Program).  Fourth quarter 2008 included a $192 million provision for loan losses, compared to $165 million for the third quarter 2008 and $108 million for the fourth quarter 2007.  Fourth quarter 2008 also reflected $29 million ($18 million after-tax, or $0.12 per diluted share) of severance-related expenses.

Net income applicable to common stock for full-year 2008 was $196 million, or $1.29 per diluted share, compared to $686 million, or $4.43 per diluted share, for full-year 2007.  The most significant items contributing to the decrease in net income applicable to common stock were an increase in the provision for credit losses of $493 million, a decrease in net interest income of $188 million, the net $84 million loss impact in 2008 related to auction-rate securities (ARS) and $34 million of 2008 severance-related expenses.  These were partially offset by a $60 million increase in securities gains.

“Mounting job losses and an economy headed deeper into recession have dampened business and consumer confidence,” said Ralph W. Babb Jr., chairman and chief executive officer. “We have stayed close to our customers during this incredibly tumultuous phase of the economic cycle, a testament to the skill and experience of our people and our strong focus on relationships.

 

“Our capital position is strong. Our Tier 1 capital ratio is estimated to be 10.67 percent at December 31, 2008. In addition, the quality of our capital is solid, as evidenced by a Tier 1 common capital ratio of 7.08 percent and a tangible common equity ratio of 7.21 percent. Within this uncertain economic environment, we are working diligently to leverage our strong capital, which was enhanced by our participation in the U.S. Treasury Department’s Capital Purchase Program. 

 

“With the appropriate pricing and credit standards in place, we are focusing our lending efforts on new and existing relationship customers for whom we serve as trusted advisors. This includes small businesses, middle market companies and wealth management clients in Texas and California. The additional capital also enables us to support the battered housing market through our purchase of mortgage-backed government agency securities.

 

“We are focused on controlling expenses, as evidenced by several initiatives to streamline operations and leverage technology. We have reduced our workforce by about 5 percent since the end of 2007 and expect to reduce it another 5 percent, largely to be completed by the end of the first quarter.  In addition, we are freezing salaries in 2009 for the top 20 percent of our workforce. We also plan to slow our banking center expansion program, and will continue to reduce our capital expenditures and discretionary expenses in this challenged environment.”

 

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2008 Overview

 

Fourth Quarter 2008 Compared to Third Quarter 2008

 

·                  On an annualized basis, average loans, excluding Financial Services Division (FSD) loans, declined one percent, with declines of seven percent in the Western market and two percent in the Midwest market partially offset by growth of 15 percent in the Texas market. The declines reflected reduced demand from customers in rapidly deteriorating economic environments.  Average loans, excluding Financial Services Division loans, increased three percent when compared to the fourth quarter 2007.

·                  On an annualized basis, excluding Financial Services Division deposits, average noninterest-bearing deposits increased seven percent.

·                  The net interest margin of 2.82 percent decreased from 3.11 percent in the third quarter 2008, and reflected the negative impact of three Federal Reserve rate cuts totaling 175 basis points in a challenging deposit pricing environment, partially offset by improved loan pricing.

COMERICA REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND 2008 EARNINGS

 

Fourth Quarter 2008 Compared to Third Quarter 2008 (continued)

 

·                  Net credit-related charge-offs were $133 million, or 104 basis points as a percent of average total loans, for the fourth quarter 2008, compared to $116 million, or 90 basis points as a percent of average total loans, for the third quarter 2008.  The provision for loan losses was $192 million for the fourth quarter 2008, compared to $165 million for the third quarter 2008, and the period-end allowance to total loans ratio increased to 1.52 percent from 1.38 percent at September 30, 2008.

·                  Noninterest expenses decreased $103 million from the third quarter, primarily due to the third quarter $96 million charge related to the repurchase of ARS and an $11 million decrease in the provision for credit losses on lending-related commitments. This decrease was partially offset by severance-related expenses of $29 million in the fourth quarter 2008 related to the elimination of about five percent of the workforce.

·                  The estimated Tier 1 common and Tier 1 capital ratios were 7.08 percent and 10.67 percent, respectively.

 

Full Year 2008 Compared to Full Year 2007

 

·                  Average loan growth, excluding Financial Services Division loans, was six percent, with growth of 14 percent in the Texas market, six percent in the Western market and three percent in the Midwest market.

·                  Excluding Financial Services Division deposits, average noninterest-bearing deposits increased six percent.

·                  The net interest margin was 3.02 percent for 2008, compared to 3.66 percent for 2007.  The 2008 average Federal Funds rate declined more than 300 basis points from the average rate for 2007.

·                  Net credit-related charge-offs were 91 basis points as a percent of average total loans for 2008, compared to 31 basis points for 2007, largely due to deterioration in the residential real estate development sector as housing prices continued to fall.

·                  Excluding the $88 million net charge related to the repurchase of ARS in 2008, noninterest expenses decreased $28 million, or two percent, from 2007.

·                  The $35 million decrease in net interest income in the fourth quarter 2008, when compared to third quarter 2008, reflected the negative impact of three Federal Reserve rate cuts totaling 175 basis points in a challenging deposit pricing environment, partially offset by improved loan spreads.

·                  December 31, 2008 core deposits, excluding the Financial Services Division, decreased $224 million compared to September 30, 2008, due to a decrease in money market investment accounts, partially offset by an increase in customer certificates of deposit.

COMERICA REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND 2008 EARNINGS

 

·                  Total average Financial Services Division deposits decreased $295 million from the third quarter 2008. This division serves title and escrow companies that facilitate residential mortgage transactions and benefits from customer deposits related to mortgage escrow balances. Deposits declined due to the impact of reduced home prices, as well as lower home mortgage financing and refinancing activity.

 

Noninterest Income

 

Noninterest income was $174 million for the fourth quarter 2008, compared to $240 million for the third quarter 2008 and $230 million for the fourth quarter 2007. Net securities gains in the fourth quarter 2008 included $4 million from the sale of ARS and net securities gains in the third quarter 2008 included $27 million from the sale of Comerica’s remaining ownership of Visa shares. Decreases in deferred compensation asset returns of $12 million and net income (loss) from principal investing and warrants of $6 million also contributed to the decline in noninterest income.  Certain categories of noninterest income are highlighted in the table below.

* Compensation deferred by Comerica officers is invested in stocks and bonds to reflect the investment selections of the officers. Income (loss) earned on these assets is reported in noninterest income and the offsetting increase (decrease) in the liability is reported in salaries expense.

 

Noninterest Expenses

 

Noninterest expenses were $411 million for the fourth quarter 2008, compared to $514 million for the third quarter 2008 and $450 million for the fourth quarter 2007. The $103 million decrease in noninterest expenses in the fourth quarter 2008, compared to the third quarter 2008, reflected a fourth quarter reversal of $8 million of the third quarter $96 million charge related to the repurchase of ARS (included in “litigation and operational losses”), an $11 million decrease in the provision for credit losses on lending-related commitments and a $5 million decrease in salaries expense, partially offset by a $7 million increase in employee benefits, mostly due to severance-related expenses.  The fourth quarter 2008 ARS reversal resulted from fewer than expected eligible securities submitted for repurchase by customers. The decrease in salaries expense was primarily due to decreases in incentives and deferred compensation plan costs (offset by a decrease in deferred compensation asset returns in noninterest income), partially offset by an increase in severance related to the elimination of approximately 570 positions, most to occur early in first quarter 2009. Severance-related expenses were $29 million in the fourth quarter 2008.  Certain categories of noninterest expenses are highlighted in the following table.

*  Fourth quarter 2008 litigation and operational losses were net of a reversal of $8 million of the $96 million charge related to the repurchase of auction-rate securities from customers recorded in the third quarter 2008.

 

Credit Quality

 

“Our credit costs remained stable, even as the economy deteriorated rapidly in the fourth quarter,” said Babb. “We continue to monitor the performance of our customers very closely with credit quality reviews, risk rating migration analysis and stress testing.  In addition, we are aggressively managing our problem loans by moving them to our workout area at the first sign of stress.  We are working hard to stay ahead of the issues. Our strong focus on credit is evidenced by the continued reduction of exposure to California residential real estate development as well as the automotive industry, given the challenges that these sectors continue to face.”

 

·                  The allowance to total loans ratio increased to 1.52 percent at December 31, 2008, from 1.38 percent at September 30, 2008 and 1.10 percent at December 31, 2007.

·                  The provision for loan losses and loan quality reflected increasing challenges in the Midwest and the weakened economies in other markets.

·                  Net credit-related charge-offs in the Commercial Real Estate business line in the fourth quarter 2008 were $59 million, of which $37 million were from residential real estate developers in the Western market. Comparable numbers for the third quarter 2008 were $57 million in total, of which $39 million were from residential real estate developers in the Western market.

·                  Net loan charge-offs excluding the Commercial Real Estate business line were $74 million in the fourth quarter 2008, or 66 basis points of average non-Commercial Real Estate loans, compared to $59 million, or 52 basis points, in the third quarter 2008.

·                  Nonperforming assets increased to 1.94 percent of total loans and foreclosed property at December 31, 2008. During the fourth quarter, $258 million of loan relationships greater than $2 million were transferred to nonaccrual status, a decrease of $22 million from the third quarter 2008.  Of the transfers of loan relationships greater than $2 million to nonaccrual in the fourth quarter 2008, $163 million were in the Commercial Real Estate business line, an increase of $18 million from the third quarter 2008.

Balance Sheet and Capital Management

 

Total assets and common shareholders’ equity were $67.5 billion and $5.0 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2008, compared to $65.2 billion and $5.1 billion, respectively, at September 30, 2008. To preserve and enhance balance sheet strength in this uncertain economic environment, Comerica lowered the quarterly cash dividend rate by 50 percent in the fourth quarter 2008, to $0.33 per common share.  The preferred stock issued under the Purchase Program in the fourth quarter 2008 qualifies as Tier 1 capital and pays a cumulative dividend rate of five percent per annum on the face value of $2.25 billion.  The cash dividend combined with the accretion of a related discount results in an effective preferred dividend rate of 6.3 percent.  The related discount resulted from a difference between the fair value and the face value of the preferred stock at issuance. There were approximately 150 million common shares outstanding at December 31, 2008.  No shares were repurchased in the open market in 2008.

 

Comerica’s fourth quarter 2008 estimated Tier 1 common, Tier 1 and total risk-based capital ratios were 7.08 percent, 10.67 percent and 14.73 percent, respectively.

 

Full-Year 2009 Outlook Compared to Full-Year 2008

 

Management provides the following general comments with the observation that it is increasingly difficult to forecast in the current uncertain economic environment.

 

·                  Management expects to focus on new and expanding relationships, particularly in Small Business, Middle Market and Wealth Management in Texas and California with the appropriate pricing and credit standards.

·                  Management expects average full-year net interest margin pressure will continue.  Management anticipates no change in the Federal Funds rate.  Management also expects continued improvement in loan spreads, challenging deposit pricing and demand deposits that provide less value in an historically low interest rate environment.

·                  Management expects full-year net credit-related charge-offs to remain consistent with full-year 2008. The provision for credit losses is expected to exceed net charge-offs.

·                  Management expects a mid-single digit decrease in noninterest expenses, due to control of discretionary expenses and workforce.

·                  Average loans, excluding the Financial Services Division, decreased $184 million, led by declines in Middle Market and Commercial Real Estate, partially offset by an increase in Global Corporate. Financial Services Division loans decreased $78 million.

·                  Average deposits, excluding the Financial Services Division, decreased $799 million, primarily due to Middle Market, Technology and Life Sciences and Commercial Real Estate, partially offset by a reassignment of deposits from the Other category to the Business Bank.

·                  Average loans increased $100 million, or nine percent on an annualized basis.

December 31, 2008 ratios are estimated

 

 

** 

Third quarter and year-to-date 2008 net interest income declined $8 million and $38 million, respectively, due to tax-related non-cash lease income charges.  Excluding these charges, the net interest margin would have been 3.17% and 3.08% for the third quarter 2008 and year ended December 31, 2008, respectively.
