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 are further economic downturns, changes in the pace of an economic recovery and related changes in
employment levels, changes in real estate values, fuel prices, energy costs or other events that could affect customer income
levels or general economic conditions, changes related to the headquarters relocation or to its underlying assumptions, the
effects of recently enacted legislation, such as the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 and the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, and actions taken by the U.S. Department of Treasury, the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System, the Texas Department of Banking  and
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the effects
of war and other armed conflicts or acts of terrorism, the effects of natural disasters including, but not limited to, hurricanes,
tornadoes, earthquakes, fires, droughts  and floods, the disruption of private or public utilities, the implementation of
Comerica’s strategies and business models, management’s ability to maintain and expand customer relationships, changes
in customer borrowing, repayment, investment and deposit practices, management’s ability to retain key officers and
employees,
changes
in
the
accounting
treatment
of
any
particular
item,
the
impact
of
regulatory
examinations,
declines
or
other changes in the businesses or industries in which Comerica has a concentration of loans, including, but not limited to,
the automotive production industry and the real estate business lines, the anticipated performance of any new banking
centers, the entry of new competitors in Comerica’s markets, changes in the level of fee income, changes in applicable laws
and regulations, including those concerning taxes, banking, securities and insurance, changes in trade, monetary and fiscal
policies, including the interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, fluctuations in inflation
or interest rates, changes in general economic, political or industry conditions and related credit and market conditions, the
interdependence of financial service companies and adverse conditions in the stock market. Comerica cautions that the
foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. For discussion of factors that may cause actual results to differ from expectations,
please refer to our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the
date they are made. Comerica does not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect facts, circumstances,
assumptions or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements are made. For any forward-looking
statements made in this presentation or in any documents, Comerica claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-

+ Noninterest-bearing deposit growth
-
Higher excess liquidity
Excess liquidity position:
Average $3.5B 3Q09 ($1.8B 2Q09)
$2.2 billion at 9/30/09
Resulted from strong deposit
growth and the sale of investment
securities
Negative impact on 3Q09 margin
was approximately 16 basis points
Excess liquidity represented by deposits held at the Federal Reserve Bank.

Third Quarter 2009 Credit Quality
Credit quality stable, as was expected
Net credit charge-offs decreased to $239 million ($248 million in
2Q09)
Inflows greater than $2 million to nonaccrual loans slowed to $361
million, down $58 million from 2Q09
Non-commercial real estate nonperforming assets declined $10
million from 2Q09
59% average carrying value to contractual value of nonaccrual loans
(41% write-down)
Continued to build reserves with provision for credit losses exceeding net
charge-offs by $74 million
Allowance for credit losses to total loans increased to 2.19%
Net charge-off and nonperforming asset metrics continue to be better
than peer averages
Expect net charge-offs to improve modestly in 4Q09
