FIRST QUARTER 2024 NET INCOME OF $138 MILLION, $0.98 PER SHARE
Successful Execution of Deposit and Liquidity Strategy
Significant Reduction in Wholesale Funding
Prudent Capital Management and Continued Strong Credit Quality
“Today we reported first quarter earnings per share of $0.98,” said Curtis C. Farmer, Comerica Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Strategic rationalization efforts from 2023 and favorable pipeline trends position us for growth. Deposits outperformed normal seasonal patterns as we added new customers and expanded existing relationships while maintaining pricing discipline. Our liquidity strategy remained a highlight as we normalized our cash position, significantly reduced wholesale funding and successfully executed a record $1.0 billion debt issuance. We experienced ongoing, expected credit normalization, while net charge-offs of 10 basis points continued to be historically low. We are committed to running an efficient organization as we navigate expense pressures and execute on the action plans announced last quarter. Conservative capital management and lower loan balances further enhanced our capital position and drove our estimated CET1 ratio to 11.47, well above our 10% target.”

First Quarter 2024 Compared to Fourth Quarter 2023 Overview
Balance sheet items discussed in terms of average balances unless otherwise noted.
Loans decreased $1.4 billion to $51.4 billion.
•Largely driven by decreases of $484 million in general Middle Market, $473 million in Equity Fund Services, $321 million in National Dealer Services, $255 million in Corporate Banking and $248 million in Mortgage Banker Finance, partially offset by an increase of $450 million in Commercial Real Estate.
◦Declines reflect strategic actions taken in 2023, including the substantially complete exit from the Mortgage Banker Finance business, as well as increased selectivity in other lines of business and lower customer demand.
•Average yield on loans (including swaps) decreased 5 basis points to 6.33%, reflecting shifts in portfolio dynamics including reduced loan fees.
Securities were stable at $16.3 billion, reflecting a decrease in average unrealized losses, partially offset by paydowns.
•Period-end unrealized losses on securities increased $268 million to $2.9 billion.
Deposits decreased $735 million to $65.3 billion.
•Noninterest-bearing deposits decreased $1.4 billion, partially offset by an increase of $671 million in interest-bearing deposits.
◦Brokered time deposits decreased $593 million, while decreases of $243 million in Technology and Life Sciences and $142 million in Equity Fund Services were partially offset by increases of $186 million in general Middle Market and $143 million in Entertainment.
•Period-end uninsured deposits as calculated per regulatory guidance totaled $30.5 billion, or 47.9% of total deposits; excluding affiliate deposits, uninsured deposits totaled $26.5 billion, or 41.7% of total deposits.
2


•The average cost of interest-bearing deposits increased 16 basis points to 328 basis points, mostly reflecting strategic growth in interest-bearing deposits as well as relationship-focused pricing.
Short-term borrowings decreased $1.4 billion to $2.6 billion, reflecting a reduction in Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances, while medium- and long-term debt increased $833 million to $6.9 billion, driven by the issuance of $1.0 billion in senior notes in January 2024.
•Total liquidity capacity at period-end totaled $43.5 billion, including cash, available liquidity through the FHLB and the FRB discount window, as well as the market value of unencumbered investment securities.
Net interest income decreased $36 million to $548 million, and net interest margin decreased 11 basis points to 2.80%.
•Driven by a decline in loan balances, higher deposit costs, an increase in long-term debt and the impact of one less day in the quarter, partially offset by a reduction in FHLB advances and higher deposits held at the Federal Reserve Bank.
Provision for credit losses increased $2 million to $14 million.
•The allowance for credit losses remained stable from prior quarter at $728 million at March 31, 2024, reflecting credit migration and changes in portfolio composition as well as a slightly improved economic outlook.
•As a percentage of total loans, the allowance for credit losses was 1.43%, an increase of 3 basis points.
Noninterest income increased $38 million to $236 million.
•Driven by a $49 million decline in risk management hedging losses, partially offset by decreases of $5 million in fiduciary income, $4 million in capital markets income and $2 million in card fees.
◦Risk management hedging activity included a $53 million decline related to BSBY cessation, partially offset by a $4 million decrease in price alignment income received for centrally cleared risk management positions.
◦Other noninterest income included a $5 million negotiated vendor payment, offset by lower income from insurance commissions and deferred compensation asset returns (offset in noninterest expenses).
Noninterest expenses decreased $115 million to $603 million.
•Decreases of $96 million in FDIC insurance expense (primarily driven by special assessment), $11 million in salaries and benefits expense and $2 million each in advertising, outside processing and equipment expense.
◦Salaries and benefits expense, which included decreases of $29 million in total severance costs (primarily expense recalibration initiatives) and $10 million in temporary labor, was impacted by seasonal items including increases of $20 million in annual stock-based compensation, $8 million in payroll taxes and $3 million in 401-K expense, partially offset by a $2 million decrease in staff insurance.
◦Other noninterest expenses included decreases of $5 million in non-salary pension expense, $3 million in legal fees and $2 million in consulting expenses, as well as smaller declines in various categories, offset by an $18 million reduction in gains (losses) on the sale of real estate (modernization initiatives).
Common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 11.47% and a Tier 1 capital ratio of 12.01%.
•Declared dividends of $94 million on common stock and $6 million on preferred stock.
•Tangible common equity ratio was 6.36%.

•Interest expense on debt decreased $9 million and improved net interest margin by 5 basis points, driven by a decrease of $1.4 billion in short-term FHLB advances (+$21 million, +11 basis points), partially offset by an increase of $833 million in medium- and long-term debt (-$8 million, -4 basis points) and higher rates (-$4 million, -2 basis points).

Credit Quality
“Credit quality remained strong with low net charge-offs of 10 basis points,” said Farmer. “Elevated interest rates and inflationary pressures continued to drive modest portfolio migration, but overall metrics remained manageable and below historical averages. These trends drove an increase in the allowance for credit losses to 1.43% of total loans. We feel our proven track record for prudent underwriting, oversight and diversification positions us to perform well through the cycle.”

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 performance trends. Comerica believes adjusted net income, earnings per share, ROA and ROE provide a greater understanding of ongoing operations and financial results by removing the impact of notable items from net income, net income available to common shareholders, average assets and average common shareholders’ equity. Notable items are meaningful because they provide greater detail of how certain events or initiatives affect Comerica’s results for a more informed understanding of those results. Tangible common equity is used by Comerica to measure the quality of capital and the return relative to balance sheet risk.

These forward-looking statements are predicated on the beliefs and assumptions of Comerica's management based on information known to Comerica's management as of the date of this presentation and do not purport to speak as of any other date. Forward-looking statements may include descriptions of plans and objectives of Comerica's management for future or past operations, products or services, and forecasts of Comerica's revenue, earnings or other measures of economic performance, including statements of profitability, business segments and subsidiaries as well as estimates of credit trends and global stability. Such statements reflect the view of Comerica's management as of this date with respect to future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Should one or more of these risks materialize or should underlying beliefs or assumptions prove incorrect, Comerica's actual results could differ materially from those discussed. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include credit risks (changes in customer behavior; unfavorable developments concerning credit quality; and declines or other changes in the businesses or industries of Comerica's customers); market risks (changes in monetary and fiscal policies; fluctuations in interest rates and their impact on deposit pricing; and transitions away from the Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index towards new interest rate benchmarks); liquidity risks (Comerica's ability to maintain adequate sources of funding and liquidity; reductions in Comerica's credit rating; and the interdependence of financial service companies and their soundness); technology risks (cybersecurity risks and heightened legislative and regulatory focus on cybersecurity and data privacy); operational risks (operational, systems or infrastructure failures; reliance on other companies to provide certain key components of business infrastructure; the impact of legal and regulatory proceedings or determinations; losses due to fraud; and controls and procedures failures); compliance risks (changes in regulation or oversight, or changes in Comerica’s status with respect to existing regulations or oversight; the effects of stringent capital requirements; and the impacts of future legislative, administrative or judicial changes to tax regulations); strategic risks (damage to Comerica's reputation; Comerica's ability to utilize technology to efficiently and effectively develop, market and deliver new products and services; competitive product and pricing pressures among financial institutions within Comerica's markets; the implementation of Comerica's strategies and business initiatives; management's ability to maintain and expand customer relationships; management's ability to retain key officers and employees; and any future strategic acquisitions or divestitures); and other general risks (changes in general economic, political or industry conditions; negative effects from inflation; the effectiveness of methods of reducing risk exposures; the effects of catastrophic events, including pandemics; physical or transition risks related to climate change; changes in accounting standards; the critical nature of Comerica's accounting policies, processes and management estimates; the volatility of Comerica’s stock price; and that an investment in Comerica’s equity securities is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC). Comerica cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not all-inclusive. For discussion of factors that may cause actual results to differ from expectations, please refer to our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In particular, please refer to “Item 1A.

Direct Express An important program for CMA & the customers we serve 1Apple App Store as of 4/9/24 • Summary: Comerica is the exclusive issuer of the Direct Express debit card for 4.5 million federal benefit recipients. • Driving Financial Inclusion: Helping the U.S. Treasury provide recipients ready, safe access to their government benefits was the founding mission of the Direct Express Program. Not only does the innovative prepaid card program deliver benefits more cost effectively and securely, it is an on- ramp to financial inclusion for millions of unbanked Americans - giving recipients the tools they need to participate fully in the economy. • Renewal History: In 2008, 2014 and again in 2020, Comerica was selected by the U.S. Treasury as the Financial Agent for their Direct Express Debit MasterCard Program. Comerica’s contract with the U.S. Treasury expires early 2025. • Strong Customer Satisfaction: Comerica has achieved a 90% (or better) cardholder satisfaction rating • Prioritizing Security: Since 2013, the U.S. Treasury has required all federal benefit recipients (with a few grandfathered exceptions) to receive their monthly benefits electronically, either by direct deposit or through the Direct Express debit card. With 100% of cardholders using EMV chip and PIN, it can be considered one of the most secure prepaid cards in the industry. • Unique Skill-set: We have developed the unique infrastructure, compliance and operations to administer this important program. Program Overview Deposit Trends Investments • Balances: ~$3B in 1Q24 average deposit balances (large fluctuations throughout the quarter due to timing cause ending balances to vary) • Intra-month patterns: Comerica receives most of the deposit balances on the 1st and 3rd days of each month (subject to change based on weekends or holidays) • Peaks & troughs: In March 2024, highest balance of $5.6B on 1st business day, lowest balance of $2.8B • Enhanced Digital Experience: Developed a new Direct Express mobile application with a 4.8-star rating and over 124,000 reviews on the Apple App Store; over 1 million mobile app users1 • Meeting Cardholders Where They Are: Unique partnership with Walmart that allows cardholders to withdraw the full balance on their card (up to $1,000) at less than half the cost that Walmart charges other customers for the same service. Since 90 percent of Direct Express cardholders visit a Walmart at least once a year, this has proven to be a very popular service. 4.8 Stars1

Descriptions of Notable Items Subject Description Impact of BSBY cessation announcement • On November 15, 2023, Bloomberg Index Services Limited (“BISL”) officially announced the future permanent cessation of Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index (“BSBY”) on November 15, 2024. • This announcement resulted in a temporary loss of hedge accounting for a portion of cash flow hedges, driving recognition of non-cash unrealized losses related to applicable swaps previously in AOCI & an impact to net interest income in 4Q23 & 1Q24. FDIC special assessment • CMA recorded expense related to the FDIC’s Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) special assessment in 4Q23 & 1Q24 Ameriprise partnership accounting • Based on the terms of our Ameriprise relationship, reallocation of certain items previously within noninterest income & noninterest expense now presented within noninterest income. No bottom-line impact as these changes fully offset one another. Expense re-calibration initiatives • Actions taken to enhance earnings power & create capacity for strategic & risk management investments resulted in severance charges

Uninsured Deposits Comerica believes that the presentation of uninsured deposits adjusted for the impact of affiliate deposits provides enhanced clarity of uninsured deposits at risk. Total uninsured deposits as calculated per regulatory guidance and reported on schedule RC-O of Comerica Bank’s Call Report include affiliate deposits, which by definition have a different risk profile than other uninsured deposits. The amounts presented below remove affiliate deposits from the total uninsured deposits number.
