DALLAS, July 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Comerica Incorporated (NYSE: CMA) today reported second quarter 2016 net income of $104 million, compared to $60 million for the first quarter 2016 and $135 million for the second quarter 2015. Earnings per diluted share were 58 cents for second quarter 2016 compared to 34 cents for first quarter 2016 and 73 cents for second quarter 2015. Comerica also announced the implementation of its efficiency and revenue initiative ("GEAR Up"), which is expected to drive additional annual pre-tax income of approximately $230 million by year-end 2018 from the actions identified to-date. Second quarter results include after-tax restructuring charges of $34 million, or 19 cents per share, associated with the initial phase of this initiative.

"Our second quarter results were solid with a $1.1 billion increase in average loans, improved credit quality in our energy portfolio as well as increases in most fee-based noninterest income categories," said Ralph W. Babb, Jr., chairman and chief executive officer. "Noninterest expenses were well controlled. Through share repurchases of $65 million and an increase in our dividend, we returned $103 million to shareholders in the second quarter 2016, compared to $79 million in the first quarter."

Growth in Efficiency and Revenue Initiative

"Based on our initial extensive review, we are announcing the actions we are taking through Gear Up that are expected to deliver additional annual pre-tax income of approximately $230 million by year-end 2018. This initiative fundamentally transforms the way we operate to drive further efficiency and revenue growth. We are confident the initiative will improve profitability, despite current market conditions and a tough banking environment," said Babb. "We expect our efficiency ratio to improve, declining to the low 60 percent range by the end of 2017, and at or below 60 percent by year-end 2018, without any increase in interest rates. The initial actions will take us a long way to achieving a double-digit return on equity and enhanced shareholder value. Management will continue to identify additional opportunities to further enhance profitability."

The initial GEAR Up initiative includes approximately $140 million in pre-tax benefits expected to be achieved by fiscal year-end 2017 and an anticipated annual run-rate benefit of approximately $230 million by year-end 2018.



    --  Revenue enhancements expected to be approximately $30 million by
        year-end 2017, which increase to approximately $70 million by year-end
        2018, through expanded product offerings, enhanced sales tools and
        training, re-aligned employee incentives and enhanced customer analytics
        to drive opportunities.
    --  Expense reductions targeted to be approximately $110 million, which
        increases to approximately $160 million by year-end 2018. This is to be
        achieved through an approximately 9 percent reduction in workforce,
        streamlining operational processes, real estate optimization including
        consolidating about 40 banking centers, selective outsourcing of
        technology functions and reduction of technology system applications.
    --  Pre-tax restructuring charges of $140 million to $160 million in total
        are expected to be incurred through 2018.

    -------------------------------------------------------

Second Quarter 2016 Compared to First Quarter 2016

Average total loans increased $1.1 billion, or 2 percent, to $49.5 billion.


    --  Primarily reflected continued growth in Commercial Real Estate and
        seasonal increases in Mortgage Banker Finance and National Dealer
        Services; partially offset by an expected decline in Energy. The growth
        in Commercial Real Estate primarily reflected construction draws and
        term financing, mainly with existing customers who are proven developers
        on projects with favorable risk profiles.
    --  Period-end total loans increased $1.0 billion to $50.4 billion.

Average total deposits decreased $187 million to $56.5 billion.


    --  Driven by a $511 million decrease in interest-bearing deposits,
        partially offset by a $324 million increase in noninterest-bearing
        deposits.
    --  Average total deposits increased seasonally in the Retail Bank; this was
        more than offset by a seasonal decrease in Municipalities and purposeful
        pricing in Corporate Banking.
    --  Period-end deposits were unchanged at $56.4 billion.

Net interest income decreased $2 million to $445 million.

    --  Primarily the result of the impact of nonaccrual loans and higher
        funding costs, partially offset by the benefit from the increase in
        average loans.

The provision for credit losses decreased $99 million to $49 million.


    --  Net credit-related charge-offs were $47 million, or 0.38 percent of
        average loans, compared to $58 million, or 0.49 percent, in the first
        quarter 2016. Energy net credit-related charge-offs were $32 million
        compared to $42 million in the first quarter 2016.
    --  The allowance for loan losses increased $5 million to $729 million, or
        1.45 percent of total loans. The reserve allocation for Energy exceeded
        8 percent of loans in the Energy business line.

Noninterest income increased $23 million to $269 million.


    --  Noninterest income increased $13 million, or 5 percent, excluding a $10
        million increase in deferred compensation asset returns (offset by an
        increase in deferred compensation plan expense in noninterest expense).
    --  Fee-based income increased $11 million, primarily attributed to
        increases of $3 million each in card fees, fiduciary income and customer
        derivative income, as well as a $2 million increase in commercial
        lending fees. The increase in commercial lending fees resulted primarily
        from higher syndication agent fees.

Noninterest expenses increased $59 million to $519 million.


    --  Second quarter restructuring charges of $53 million related to the
        initiatives previously discussed included $46 million of
        severance-related expenses and $7 million of professional services and
        other charges.
    --  Excluding the $53 million restructuring charge, noninterest expenses
        increased $6 million, primarily including a $10 million increase in
        deferred compensation plan expense (offset by an increase in deferred
        compensation asset returns in noninterest income), partially offset by
        an $8 million gain from the sale of leased assets, as well as increases
        of $5 million in outside processing fees, $3 million in FDIC insurance
        premiums and $2 million in advertising expense.
    --  Salaries and benefits expense decreased $1 million, primarily reflecting
        seasonal decreases in share-based compensation and payroll taxes,
        partially offset by the $10 million increase in deferred compensation
        plan expense noted above, the impact of merit increases, a seasonal
        increase in 401(k) contributions and incentive compensation tied to
        revenue growth.

Capital position remained solid at June 30, 2016.


    --  Repurchased approximately 1.5 million shares of common stock under the
        equity repurchase program.
    --  Including dividends, returned a total of $103 million to shareholders.
    --  Dividend increased 5 percent to 22 cents per share.
    --  As announced on June 29, 2016, the Federal Reserve did not object to
        Comerica's 2016 capital plan which includes equity repurchases up to
        $440 million for the four-quarter period ending in the second quarter
        2017. The timing and ultimate amount of equity repurchases will be
        subject to various factors, including the Company's capital position,
        financial performance and market conditions, including interest rates.
        Restructuring charges associated with the GEAR Up initiative are not
        expected to impact the pace of repurchases. In addition, at its meeting
        on July 26, 2016, Comerica's board of directors will consider increasing
        the quarterly dividend to 23 cents per common share.

Second Quarter 2016 Compared to Second Quarter 2015

Average total loans increased $636 million, or 1 percent.


    --  Primarily reflected continued growth in Commercial Real Estate and
        National Dealer Services, partially offset by declines in Energy and
        general Middle Market.

Average total deposits decreased $877 million, or 2 percent.


    --  Primarily driven by decreases in Municipalities, Corporate Banking and
        the Financial Services Division.

Net interest income increased $24 million, or 6 percent.


    --  Primarily due to higher yields on loans and Federal Reserve Bank
        deposits, as well as earning asset growth; partially offset by an
        increase in funding costs.

The provision for credit losses increased $2 million, or 5 percent.

Noninterest income increased $11 million, or 4 percent.


    --  Excluding a $4 million increase in deferred compensation asset returns,
        noninterest income increased $7 million, or 3 percent. Fee-based income
        increased $6 million, primarily reflecting an $8 million increase in
        card fees, mostly due to increased revenue from merchant payment
        processing services and government card programs, and smaller increases
        in most other fee-based categories; partially offset by a decrease of $4
        million in investment banking fees.

Noninterest expense increased $86 million.


    --  Noninterest expense increased $3 million excluding the second quarter
        2016 restructuring charges of $53 million and the impact of a $30
        million net release of litigation reserves in second quarter 2015. The
        remaining increase primarily reflected increases of $6 million in
        software expense and $5 million in FDIC insurance premiums, partially
        offset by a decrease of $4 million in salaries and benefits and an $8
        million benefit from the sale of leased assets in the second quarter
        2016.
        --  Salaries and benefits expense primarily reflected decreases of $8
            million in pension expense and $4 million in share-based
            compensation, partially offset by a $4 million increase in deferred
            compensation plan expense (offset by an increase in deferred
            compensation asset returns in noninterest income) and an increase of
            $4 million in regular salaries, mostly due to the impact of merit
            raises.

Net interest income decreased $2 million to $445 million in the second quarter 2016, compared to the first quarter 2016.


    --  Interest on loans was unchanged, as the benefit from an increase in
        average loan balances (+$8 million) was offset by a decrease in yields.
        The decrease in loan yields primarily reflected lower nonaccrual
        interest recoveries in the second quarter 2016, the impact of a negative
        residual value adjustment to assets in the leasing portfolio and the
        full-quarter impact of loans transferred to nonaccrual in the first
        quarter 2016.
    --  Interest expense on debt increased $3 million, primarily due to higher
        funding costs from new Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) borrowings during
        the quarter.

The net interest margin of 2.74 percent decreased 7 basis points compared to the first quarter 2016, primarily due to the impact of increased FHLB borrowings (-2 basis points), lower loan yields (-4 basis points) and an increase in lower-yielding Federal Reserve Bank deposit balances (-1 basis point). The impact of lower loan yields included -3 basis points related to nonaccrual loans.

Credit Quality

"Energy loans continue to decline as expected, with a $356 million decrease since the end of the first quarter, as our customers continue to take the necessary actions to reduce their bank debt. We have completed 88 percent of the spring redeterminations for our E&P customers, and borrowing bases have come down about 22 percent on average. Criticized energy loans have declined $281 million to 57 percent of energy loans as of the end of the second quarter," said Babb. "While oil and gas prices have improved, we remain cautious and believe with our reserve allocation at over 8 percent of energy loans as of June 30, we are adequately reserved. Credit quality in the remainder of the portfolio remains strong."

    (a)  Included in "Accrued expenses and other liabilities" on the consolidated balance sheets.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    --  Energy business line loans were $2.7 billion at June 30, 2016 compared
        to $3.1 billion at March 31, 2016.
        --  Criticized Energy loans decreased $281 million, to $1.6 billion,
            including a $77 million decrease in nonaccrual loans.
        --  Energy net charge-offs were $32 million, compared to $42 million in
            the first quarter 2016.
        --  The reserve allocation for loans in the Energy business line
            exceeded 8 percent at June 30, 2016, up slightly compared to March
            31, 2016.
    --  Net charge-offs decreased $11 million to $47 million, or 0.38 percent of
        average loans, in the second quarter 2016, compared to $58 million, or
        0.49 percent, in the first quarter 2016. Aside from Energy, net
        charge-offs were $15 million, or 13 basis points, for the remainder of
        the portfolio.
    --  During the second quarter 2016, $107 million of borrower relationships
        over $2 million were transferred to nonaccrual status, a decrease of
        $339 million compared to $446 million transferred during the first
        quarter. Second quarter 2016 transfers to nonaccrual included $51
        million from Energy, compared to $349 million in the first quarter.
    --  Criticized loans decreased $377 million to $3.6 billion at June 30,
        2016, compared to $3.9 billion at March 31, 2016, primarily as a result
        of the decrease in criticized Energy loans. Criticized loans are
        generally consistent with the Special Mention, Substandard and Doubtful
        categories defined by regulatory authorities.

Full-Year 2016 Outlook

Management expectations for full-year 2016 compared to full-year 2015, assuming a continuation of the current economic and low-rate environment, are as follows.


    --  Average loans modestly higher, in line with Gross Domestic Product
        growth, reflecting a continued decline in Energy more than offset by
        increases in most other lines of business. Seasonality in National
        Dealer Services, Mortgage Banker and Middle Market to impact the second
        half of the year.
    --  Net interest income higher, primarily reflecting the benefits from the
        December 2015 short-term rate increase, loan growth and a larger
        securities portfolio.
    --  Provision for credit losses higher, reflecting the first quarter 2016
        reserve build for Energy, with net charge-offs for the remainder of the
        year between 35 basis points and 45 basis points. Additional reserve
        changes dependent on developments in the oil and gas sector. Continued
        solid credit quality in the remainder of the portfolio, with metrics,
        absent Energy, better than historical norms.
    --  Noninterest income modestly higher, with continued focus on cross-sell
        opportunities, including card, fiduciary and brokerage services offset
        by lower market-driven fees, including commercial lending fees,
        investment banking fees, derivative income and warrant income. Benefits
        from GEAR Up expected to begin in early 2017.
    --  Noninterest expenses higher, with an estimated $90 million to $110
        million in restructuring expense, related GEAR Up expense savings of
        approximately $20 million, increased outside processing in line with
        growing revenue, higher FDIC insurance expense in part due to regulatory
        surcharge, and typical inflationary pressures. Additionally, 2015
        benefited from $33 million in legal reserve releases, which is offset by
        lower pension expense in 2016.
    --  Income tax expense to approximate 30 percent of pre-tax income.

Business Segments

    (a)  Included restructuring charge of $26 million in the second quarter 2016.

    --  Average loans increased $1.0 billion, primarily reflecting increases in
        Commercial Real Estate, Mortgage Banker Finance and National Dealer
        Services, partially offset by a decrease in Energy.
    --  Average deposits decreased $679 million, primarily reflecting decreases
        in Municipalities and Corporate Banking, partially offset by an increase
        in Mortgage Banker Finance.
    --  Net interest income decreased $7 million, primarily reflecting the
        impact of an increase in net funds transfer pricing (FTP) charges and
        lower loan yields, largely due to the impact of nonaccrual loans and a
        negative residual value adjustment to assets in the leasing portfolio,
        partially offset by the benefit from the increase in average loans. The
        increase in net FTP charges primarily reflected an increase in the cost
        of funds as well as lower funding credits due to the decrease in average
        deposits.
    --  The provision for credit losses decreased $105 million, primarily
        reflecting a decrease in Energy, partially offset by increases in
        Commercial Real Estate, National Dealer Services, and Technology and
        Life Sciences.
    --  Noninterest income increased $7 million, primarily due to increases in
        syndication agent fees, card fees and customer derivative income.
    --  Noninterest expenses increased $15 million, primarily due to second
        quarter 2016 restructuring charges. Excluding restructuring charges,
        noninterest expenses decreased $11 million, primarily reflecting an $8
        million gain from the sale of leased assets and a decrease in salaries
        and benefits expense, partially offset by an increase in outside
        processing fees tied to revenue generating activities.

    (a) Included restructuring charge of $19 million in the second quarter 2016.

    --  Average deposits increased $436 million, primarily reflecting seasonal
        increases. Balances increased in both interest-bearing and
        noninterest-bearing deposits.
    --  Net interest income decreased $1 million, primarily due to lower loan
        yields, partially offset by the benefit provided by the increase in
        average deposits.
    --  The provision for credit losses decreased $2 million, primarily due to a
        decrease in Small Business.
    --  Noninterest income increased $5 million, primarily reflecting the impact
        of a securities loss in the first quarter 2016 and an increase in card
        fees.
    --  Noninterest expenses increased $26 million, primarily due to second
        quarter 2016 restructuring charges. Excluding restructuring charges,
        noninterest expenses increased $7 million, primarily reflecting an
        increase in outside processing expenses and smaller increases in several
        other categories.

     (a) Includes items not directly
      associated with the geographic
      markets.

    --  Average loans increased $689 million in Other Markets, primarily
        reflecting an increase in Mortgage Banker Finance; $425 million in
        California, primarily reflecting increases in Commercial Real Estate and
        National Dealer Services; and $77 million in Texas, mostly due to
        increases in Commercial Real Estate and Private Banking, partially
        offset by a decrease in Energy. Average loans decreased $114 million in
        Michigan.
    --  Average deposits decreased $322 million in Texas and $143 million in
        Michigan, with both markets primarily reflecting decreases in
        Municipalities and Corporate Banking, partially offset by an increase in
        Retail Banking. Average deposits increased $279 million in California,
        reflecting increases in most lines of business.
    --  Net interest income decreased $9 million in Michigan and $4 million in
        Texas, and increased $1 million in California. The decrease in Michigan
        primarily reflected a decrease in loan yields, largely due to the impact
        of the negative residual value adjustment to assets in the leasing
        portfolio and lower nonaccrual interest recoveries in the second
        quarter, lower FTP credits resulting from a decrease in average
        deposits, and the impact of a decrease in average loans. The decrease in
        Texas primarily reflected lower FTP credits resulting from a decrease in
        average deposits and lower loan yields, largely due to the full quarter
        impact of loans transferred to nonaccrual in the first quarter 2016 and
        a decrease in accretion on the acquired loan portfolio. In California,
        the benefit from an increase in average loans was partially offset by an
        increase in net FTP charges, reflecting an increase in the cost of funds
        and a decrease in the deposit crediting rate.
    --  The provision for credit losses decreased $137 million in Texas, and
        increased $23 million California and $9 million in Michigan. The
        decrease in Texas primarily reflected the impact of the reserve build
        for Energy in the first quarter 2016. In California, the increased
        provision primarily reflected increases in National Dealer Services,
        Private Banking and general Middle Market. The increase in Michigan
        primarily reflected an increased provision in Commercial Real Estate.
    --  Noninterest income increased $5 million in Michigan, $1 million in Texas
        and $1 million in California. The increase in Michigan was primarily due
        to the impact of a securities loss in the first quarter 2016, an
        increase in customer derivative income and smaller increases in several
        other categories.
    --  Noninterest expenses increased $16 million in California, $13 million in
        Texas and $8 million in Michigan. Excluding restructuring charges,
        noninterest expenses were unchanged in California, and decreased $2
        million in Texas and $7 million in Michigan. The decrease in Michigan
        primarily reflected an $8 million gain from the sale of leased assets in
        the second quarter.

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.
