Babb Jr., chairman and chief executive officer. "To support the challenged housing market, we also funded $2 billion in mortgage-backed government agency securities in the quarter. "Commercial and industrial loan growth has slowed sharply in all 10 previous post-World War II recessions, with actual loan outstandings falling in eight of those recessions, in inflation-adjusted terms. Companies have reduced their borrowings out of appropriate caution during this recession, as well. As a result, we have seen reduced loan demand across our geographic markets. "The $33 million preferred stock dividends to the U.S. Treasury Department under the Capital Purchase Program weighed on our first quarter results, with an impact of 22 cents per share. We plan to redeem the $2.25 billion in preferred stock at such time as feasible, with careful consideration given to the economic environment. "Our already strong capital levels were further enhanced in the first quarter, with a preliminary Tier 1 Capital ratio of 11.08 percent at March 31. The quality of our capital also continues to be solid, as evidenced by a Tier I Common capital ratio of 7.33 percent and a Tangible Common Equity ratio of 7.27 percent. "We were pleased by the $1 billion increase in average core deposits. We are staying close to our customers throughout this economic cycle, delivering the exceptional service that has been a hallmark of our company for many years. "Our expense controls included a workforce reduction of five percent in the first quarter, bringing us to a staffing level that is the lowest in more than 10 years, even with our investment in about 100 new banking centers since 2005. Together with other cost-savings actions, as well as our efforts to grow new and existing customer relationships, we believe we are well positioned to weather the economic downturn and for the future." First Quarter 2009 Compared to Fourth Quarter 2008 -- Average earning assets increased $618 million, reflecting a $1.4 billion increase in investment securities, from purchases of mortgage-backed government agency securities in the first quarter 2009 and auction-rate securities repurchased from customers in the fourth quarter 2008, partially offset by a decrease in average loans. -- Average loans, excluding Financial Services Division (FSD) loans, were down $1.7 billion from the fourth quarter 2008. National Dealer Services average loans declined $461 million and Middle Market average loans declined in all markets. The declines reflected reduced demand from customers in a rapidly contracting economic environment. -- Average core deposits, excluding the Financial Services Division, increased $1.0 billion in the first quarter 2009, reflecting an $840 million increase in noninterest-bearing deposits. -- The net interest margin of 2.53 percent decreased 29 basis points, from 2.82 percent in the fourth quarter 2008, primarily reflecting the limited opportunity to reduce deposit rates and the decreased contribution of noninterest-bearing funds in a significantly lower rate environment, partially offset by increasing loan spreads. -- Net credit-related charge-offs were $157 million, or 1.26 percent of average total loans, for the first quarter 2009, compared to $133 million, or 1.04 percent of average total loans, for the fourth quarter 2008. The provision for loan losses was $203 million for the first quarter 2009, compared to $192 million for the fourth quarter 2008, and the period-end allowance to total loans ratio increased to 1.68 percent from 1.52 percent at December 31, 2008. -- Noninterest income increased $49 million, and included a $24 million pre-tax gain on the termination of certain structured lease transactions, $13 million of net securities gains (including gains of $5 million from redemptions of auction-rate securities) and $5 million in deferred compensation asset losses, a decrease in losses of $13 million when compared to the fourth quarter 2008 (offset by an increase in deferred compensation plan costs in noninterest expenses). -- Noninterest expenses decreased $14 million from the fourth quarter, primarily due to a $16 million decrease in salaries expense and targeted decreases across discretionary categories of noninterest expenses, partially offset by increases in pension expense ($11 million) and FDIC insurance expense ($8 million). Total severance-related expenses were $6 million in the first quarter, down from $29 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. Annualized first quarter noninterest expenses were nearly 10 percent lower than noninterest expenses for the full-year 2008. -- The estimated Tier 1 common and Tier 1 capital ratios were 7.33 percent and 11.08 percent, respectively. Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1st 4th 1st Qtr Qtr Qtr (dollar amounts in millions) '09 '08 '08 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net interest income $384 $431 $476 Net interest margin 2.53% 2.82% 3.22% Selected average balances: Total earning assets $61,752 $61,134 $59,518 Total investment securities 10,126 8,734 7,222 Total loans 49,556 51,338 51,852 Total loans, excluding FSD loans (primarily low-rate) 49,344 51,015 51,050 Total core deposits*, excluding FSD 31,946 30,944 32,620 Total noninterest-bearing deposits 11,364 10,575 10,622 Total noninterest-bearing deposits, excluding FSD 10,095 9,255 8,728 * Core deposits exclude other time deposits and foreign office time deposits. ========================================================================== -- The $47 million decrease in net interest income in the first quarter 2009, when compared to fourth quarter 2008, resulted primarily from a reduction in the net interest margin, a decline in loans and the impact of two less days ($9 million). -- First quarter 2009 average core deposits, excluding the Financial Services Division, increased $1.0 billion compared to fourth quarter 2008, reflecting an $840 million increase in noninterest-bearing deposits. The increase in noninterest-bearing deposits occurred across all business segments from both commercial and consumer customers. -- The net interest margin of 2.53 percent declined 29 basis points, compared to fourth quarter 2008, primarily reflecting the limited opportunity to reduce deposit rates at the same pace as the decline in loan yields and the decreased contribution of noninterest-bearing funds in a significantly lower rate environment, partially offset by increasing loan spreads. Variable rate loan yields generally move with the average target federal funds and one-month LIBOR rates, which declined 82 basis points and 171 basis points, respectively, from the fourth quarter 2008. In addition, the net interest margin was reduced by approximately seven basis points from $1.8 billion of average balances deposited with the Federal Reserve Bank in the first quarter 2009, compared to a reduction of approximately two basis points from $778 million of average balances in the fourth quarter 2008. -- Total average Financial Services Division deposits decreased $268 million from the fourth 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 continued to decline primarily due to reduced home prices. Noninterest Income Noninterest income was $223 million for the first quarter 2009, compared to $174 million for the fourth quarter 2008 and $237 million for the first quarter 2008. Noninterest income in the first quarter 2009, compared to the fourth quarter 2008, included a $24 million pre-tax gain on the termination of certain structured lease transactions (included in "other noninterest income") and $13 million of net securities gains, which included gains of $8 million from sales of mortgage-backed securities and $5 million from redemptions of auction-rate securities. In addition, deferred compensation asset losses were $5 million in the first quarter 2009, a decrease in losses of $13 million when compared to the fourth quarter 2008 (offset by an increase in deferred compensation plan costs in noninterest expenses). Certain categories of noninterest income are highlighted in the following table. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1st 4th 1st Qtr Qtr Qtr (in millions) '09 '08 '08 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Net securities gains $13 $4 $22 Other noninterest income Net income (loss) from principal investing and warrants (2) (5) (4) Deferred compensation asset returns* (5) (18) (5) * 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 $397 million for the first quarter 2009, compared to $411 million for the fourth quarter 2008 and $403 million for the first quarter 2008. The $14 million decrease in noninterest expenses in the first quarter 2009, compared to the fourth quarter 2008, reflected a decrease of $16 million in salaries expense and targeted decreases across discretionary categories of noninterest expenses, partially offset by increases of $11 million in pension expense and $8 million in FDIC insurance expense. The decrease in salaries expense was primarily due to decreases of $19 million in severance expense and $6 million in incentives, partially offset by a $13 million increase in deferred compensation plan costs (offset by a decrease in deferred compensation asset losses in noninterest income). Regular salaries expense was also impacted by reductions in full-time equivalent staff of approximately 490 and 160 in the first quarter 2009 and fourth quarter 2008, respectively. Total severance-related expenses were $6 million in the first quarter, down from $29 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. Certain categories of noninterest expenses are highlighted in the table below. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1st 4th 1st Qtr Qtr Qtr '09 '08 '08 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Salaries Regular salaries $147 $152 $151 Severance 5 24 2 Incentives 13 19 32 Deferred compensation plan costs (5) (18) (5) Share-based compensation 11 10 20 --- --- --- Total salaries 171 187 200 Employee benefits Pension expense 16 5 5 Other benefits 38 43 42 Severance-related benefits 1 5 - --- --- --- Total employee benefits 55 53 47 Customer services - 2 6 Litigation and operational losses 2 3 (8) Provision for credit losses on lending-related commitments (1) (2) 4 Other noninterest expenses FDIC insurance 15 7 2 Other real estate expense 7 5 2 ====================================================================== Credit Quality "We have continued to reserve for loan losses substantially in excess of charge-offs to reflect the continued downturn in the economy," said Babb. "Our loan loss reserves are established using a thorough methodology, in which the reserve is built credit by credit at the end of each quarter. We continually review the components of the reserve, analyze risk rating migration within industries and geographies, and conduct stress testing. We continue to work hard to stay ahead of the credit issues in this environment." -- The allowance to total loans ratio increased to 1.68 percent at March 31, 2009, from 1.52 percent at December 31, 2008 and 1.16 percent at March 31, 2008. -- The provision for loan losses and loan quality reflected challenges in the Midwest, Western and Florida markets and the contracting domestic economy. -- Net credit-related charge-offs in the Commercial Real Estate business line in the first quarter 2009 were $73 million, of which $47 million were from residential real estate developers in the Western market. Comparable numbers for the fourth quarter 2008 were $59 million in total, of which $37 million were from residential real estate developers in the Western market. -- Net loan charge-offs excluding the Commercial Real Estate business line were $84 million in the first quarter 2009, or 76 basis points of average non-Commercial Real Estate loans, compared to $74 million, or 66 basis points, in the fourth quarter 2008. -- Nonperforming assets increased to 2.20 percent of total loans and foreclosed property at March 31, 2009. During the first quarter 2009, $241 million of loan relationships greater than $2 million were transferred to nonaccrual status, a decrease of $17 million from the fourth quarter 2008. Of the transfers of loan relationships greater than $2 million to nonaccrual in the first quarter 2009, $112 million were in the Commercial Real Estate business line and $89 million were in Middle Market, a decrease of $51 million and an increase of $28 million from the fourth quarter 2008, respectively. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 1st 4th 1st Qtr Qtr Qtr (dollar amounts in millions) '09 '08 '08 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Net loan charge-offs $157 $133 $110 Net lending-related commitment charge-offs - - - ---- ---- ---- Total net credit-related charge-offs 157 133 110 Net loan charge-offs/Average total loans 1.26% 1.04% 0.85% Net credit-related charge-offs/Average total loans 1.26 1.04 0.85 Provision for loan losses $203 $192 $159 Provision for credit losses on lending-related commitments (1) (2) 4 ---- ---- ---- Total provision for credit losses 202 190 163 Nonperforming loans 982 917 538 Nonperforming assets (NPAs) 1,073 983 560 NPAs/Total loans and foreclosed property 2.20% 1.94% 1.07% Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing 207 125 80 Allowance for loan losses $816 $770 $605 Allowance for credit losses on lending-related commitments* 37 38 25 ---- ---- ---- Total allowance for credit losses 853 808 630 Allowance for loan losses/Total loans 1.68% 1.52% 1.16% Allowance for loan losses/Nonperforming loans 83 84 112 * Included in "Accrued expenses and other liabilities" on the consolidated balance sheets. ======================================================================= Balance Sheet and Capital Management Total assets and common shareholders' equity were $67.4 billion and $5.0 billion, respectively, at March 31, 2009, compared to $67.5 billion and $5.0 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2008. To further preserve and enhance Comerica's balance sheet strength in the continuing economic downturn, Comerica reduced the quarterly cash dividend rate to $0.05 per common share in the first quarter 2009, from $0.33 per common share in the fourth quarter 2008. This action enables the retention of nearly $170 million per annum in tangible equity. There were approximately 151 million common shares outstanding at March 31, 2009. No shares were repurchased in the open market in the first quarter 2009. Comerica's tangible common equity ratio was 7.27 percent at March 31, 2009. The estimated Tier 1 common, Tier 1 and total risk-based capital ratios were 7.33 percent, 11.08 percent and 15.39 percent, respectively. 2009 Outlook -- Management expects to focus on new and expanding existing relationships. Management expects subdued loan demand in light of the rapidly contracting domestic economy. -- Management expects the net interest margin to expand during the remainder of the year with improved loan pricing and the runoff of higher-cost time deposits and debt. The target federal funds and short-term LIBOR rates are expected to remain flat for the remainder of 2009. -- Based on no significant further deterioration of the economic environment, management expects net credit-related charge-offs for full-year 2009 to be $650 million to $700 million. The provision for credit losses is expected to exceed net charge-offs. -- Management expects a mid-single digit decrease in full-year 2009 noninterest expenses, compared to full-year 2008, due to control of discretionary expenses and workforce. Business Segments Comerica's continuing operations are strategically aligned into three major business segments: the Business Bank, the Retail Bank, and Wealth & Institutional Management. The Finance Division also is included as a segment.
