"Despite the challenged economic environment, we remained focused on
executing our strategy in the first quarter, as evidenced by good loan and
deposit growth, particularly in our high-growth markets," said Ralph W. Babb
Jr., chairman and chief executive officer. "While the continued deterioration
of the California residential real estate market and its effects on our
residential real estate development portfolio affected our overall
performance, the remainder of our loan portfolio continued to exhibit stable
credit metrics.
"As expected, the net interest margin of 3.22 percent declined 21 basis
points from the fourth quarter, largely due to planned securities purchases,
expected loan growth in excess of core deposit growth, and the reduced
contribution of noninterest-bearing funds in a lower rate environment.
"Our expenses were well controlled in the first quarter with reduced
headcount, even as we continued our banking center expansion program."
First Quarter 2008 Compared to Fourth Quarter 2007
- On an annualized basis, excluding Financial Services Division (FSD)
loans, average loans increased 10 percent, with growth of 14 percent in
the Texas market, 10 percent in the Western market and 9 percent in the
Midwest market.
- On an annualized basis, total deposits, excluding FSD deposits and
institutional certificates of deposit, increased five percent,
including an increase in noninterest-bearing deposits of 12 percent.
Deposit growth occurred while deposit rates were lowered. Funding
sources also included $2 billion of new advances from the Federal Home
Loan Bank of Dallas with a five-year term at an attractive rate.
- The net interest margin was 3.22 percent in the first quarter 2008, a
decrease of 21 basis points from 3.43 percent in the fourth quarter
2007, largely due to planned securities purchases, expected loan growth
in excess of core deposit growth and the reduced contribution of
noninterest-bearing funds in a lower rate environment.
- Net credit-related charge-offs were $110 million, or 85 basis points as
a percent of average total loans, for the first quarter 2008, compared
to $64 million, or 50 basis points as a percent of average total loans,
for the fourth quarter 2007. Of the first quarter charge-offs, $75
million were in the Commercial Real Estate business line, predominantly
with residential real estate developers in the Western market. The
remaining net charge-offs of $35 million were 31 basis points of
average non-Commercial Real Estate loans. The provision for loan losses
was $159 million for the first quarter 2008, compared to $108 million
for the fourth quarter 2007, bringing the period-end allowance to total
loans ratio to 1.16 percent from 1.10 percent at December 31, 2007.
- Noninterest income increased $7 million, and included a $21 million
gain on Visa shares, with increases in investment banking fees and
service charges on deposit accounts, partially offset by decreases in
net income from principal investing and warrants, seasonally lower
commercial lending fees, and deferred compensation asset returns (which
are offset by a decrease in deferred compensation plan costs in
noninterest expenses).
- Noninterest expenses decreased $47 million from the fourth quarter
2007, mostly due to the first quarter 2008 reversal of the $13 million
loss sharing arrangement expense that was recorded in the fourth
quarter 2007 related to membership in Visa and a $16 million decrease
in salaries expense, including a decrease in deferred compensation plan
costs in first quarter 2008, partially offset by an increase in share-
based compensation expense.
- The estimated Tier 1 common capital ratio was 6.71 percent, within the
targeted range.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income $476 $489 $502

Net interest margin 3.22 % 3.43 % 3.82 %

Selected average balances:
Total earning assets $59,518 $56,621 $53,148
Total investment securities 7,222 5,533 3,745

Total noninterest-bearing
deposits 10,622 10,533 12,162
Total noninterest-bearing
deposits, excluding FSD 8,728 8,473 8,712

- The $13 million decrease in net interest income in the first quarter
2008, when compared to fourth quarter 2007, resulted primarily from a
reduction in the net interest margin and the impact of one less day ($5
million), partially offset by growth in securities and loans.
- The net interest margin of 3.22 percent declined 21 basis points, as
compared to fourth quarter 2007, reflecting the decreased contribution
of noninterest-bearing funds in a lower rate environment and earning
asset growth in excess of deposit growth, partially offset by deposit
rate reductions.
- Securities purchases consisted of AAA-rated mortgage-backed securities
issued by government sponsored enterprises (FNMA, FHLMC).

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income was $237 million for the first quarter 2008, compared
to $230 million for the fourth quarter 2007 and $203 million for the first
quarter 2007. Noninterest income in the first quarter 2008, compared to the
fourth quarter 2007, included the $21 million gain on the sale of Visa shares
(included in "net securities gains") and increased service charges on deposit
accounts ($1 million) and investment banking fees ($4 million), partially
offset by decreases in seasonally lower commercial lending fees ($6 million),
net income (loss) from principal investing and warrants ($10 million) and
deferred compensation asset returns ($7 million, offset by a decrease in
deferred compensation plan costs in noninterest expenses).
Noninterest Expenses
Noninterest expenses were $403 million for the first quarter 2008,
compared to $450 million for the fourth quarter 2007 and $407 million for the
first quarter 2007. The $47 million decrease in noninterest expenses in the
first quarter 2008, compared to the fourth quarter 2007, reflected a $16
million decrease in salaries expense and the reversal of the $13 million Visa
loss sharing arrangement expense that was recorded in the fourth quarter 2007
(included in "litigation and operational losses"). The decrease in salaries
expense was primarily due to additional cost deferrals from a refinement in
application of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 91 - Accounting
for Loan Origination Fees and Costs (FAS 91) ($11 million), a decrease in
deferred compensation plan costs ($7 million) and reduced headcount, partially
offset by an increase of $8 million in share-based compensation, reflecting
that portion of the annual award of restricted stock which is required to be
expensed in the period granted. Certain categories of noninterest expenses
are highlighted in the table below.

Tax-related Items
The provision for income taxes reflected a benefit of $5 million resulting
from an after-tax adjustment to deferred tax assets in the first quarter 2008.
Fourth quarter 2007 interest on tax liabilities (classified in the "provision
for income taxes") reflected a $9 million reduction ($6 million after-tax) of
interest resulting from a settlement with the Internal Revenue Service on
asset depreciation.
Credit Quality
"California residential real estate developers, in particular, continued
to struggle," said Babb. "The excess inventory, declining prices and extended
time to sell have had a debilitating effect on the California housing market.
We are aggressively addressing this situation as the market has continued to
deteriorate."
- The allowance to loan ratio increased to 1.16 percent at March 31,
2008, from 1.10 percent at December 31, 2007.
- The provision for loan losses and loan quality reflected increased
challenges primarily in residential real estate development located in
both northern and southern California (Western market).
- Net loan charge-offs in the Commercial Real Estate business line in the
first quarter 2008 were $75 million, of which $58 million were from
residential real estate developers in the Western market. Comparable
numbers for the fourth quarter 2007 were $36 million in total, of which
$9 million were from residential real estate developers in the Western
market. Excluding the Western market, other Commercial Real Estate net
loan charge-offs in the first quarter 2008 totaled $17 million,
compared to $27 million in the fourth quarter 2007. In California, the
median sales price of existing single family homes declined almost 14
percent from the fourth quarter 2007 (30 percent from one year ago) and
single family home building permits (trailing 12 months) declined over
10 percent (33 percent from one year ago).
- Net loan charge-offs, excluding the Commercial Real Estate business
line, were $35 million in the first quarter 2008, or 31 basis points of
average non-Commercial Real Estate loans, compared to $27 million in
the fourth quarter 2007, or 25 basis points of average non-Commercial
Real Estate loans.

Balance Sheet and Capital Management
Total assets and common shareholders' equity were $67.0 billion and $5.3
billion, respectively, at March 31, 2008, compared to $62.3 billion and $5.1
billion, respectively, at December 31, 2007. There were approximately 151
million shares outstanding at March 31, 2008, compared to 150 million shares
outstanding at December 31, 2007. No shares were repurchased in the open
market in the first quarter 2008.
Comerica's first quarter 2008 estimated Tier 1 common, Tier 1 and total
risk-based capital ratios were 6.71 percent, 7.35 percent and 11.00 percent,
respectively.
Full Year 2008 Outlook Compared to Full Year 2007 from Continuing
Operations - Mid single-digit average loan growth, excluding Financial
Services
Division loans, with low single-digit growth in the Midwest market, mid
to high single-digit growth in the Western market and low double-digit
growth in the Texas market.
- Average earning asset growth in excess of average loan growth, with
securities averaging about $8 billion for the remainder of the year.
- Average Financial Services Division noninterest-bearing deposits of
$1.7 to $1.9 billion. Financial Services Division loans will fluctuate
in tandem with the level of noninterest-bearing deposits.
- Based on the federal funds rate declining to 1.75 percent by mid-year
2008, average full year net interest margin around 3.10 percent,
including the effects of higher levels of securities, lower value of
noninterest-bearing deposits and average loan growth exceeding average
deposit growth.
- Average net credit-related charge-offs of 75-80 basis points of average
loans. The provision for credit losses is expected to exceed net
charge-offs.
- Low single-digit growth in noninterest income.
- Low single-digit decline in noninterest expenses.
- Effective tax rate of about 28 percent.
- Maintain a Tier 1 common capital ratio within a target range of 6.50 to
7.50 percent.

Middle Market, Global Corporate and Technology and Life Sciences,

primarily due to the impact from the Financial Services Division of
lower deposit balances and lower value of noninterest-bearing deposits
in a lower rate environment.

continuing challenges in Commercial Real Estate (residential real
estate developers in the Western market), and changes in Middle Market,
including the effect of a benefit recognized in the fourth quarter 2007

customer default.
- Noninterest income decreased $6 million primarily due to a decrease in
principal investing and warrant income and lower commercial lending
fees, partially offset by an increase in investment banking fees.
