Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
Comerica Incorporated and Subsidiaries

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with United States (U.S.) generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation were included. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017. Certain items in prior periods were reclassified to conform to the current presentation. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Annual Report of Comerica Incorporated and Subsidiaries (the Corporation) on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Share-Based Compensation
Effective January 1, 2016, the Corporation adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payments Accounting” (ASU 2016-09). ASU 2016-09 provides for the election of an accounting policy as to the timing of when stock award forfeitures are recognized in compensation expense. The Corporation elected to account for forfeitures as they occur, rather than account for compensation cost based on an estimate of the number of awards that are expected to vest. The prior period effect of this policy election as of the beginning of the year was reported as "cumulative effect of change in accounting principle" in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity (unaudited). In addition, ASU 2016-09 requires excess tax benefits and deficiencies resulting from employee stock awards to be prospectively recognized as a component of income taxes. Previously, excess tax benefits and deficiencies were recognized in "capital surplus" in the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders' Equity. Net excess tax benefits for awards that vested, were exercised or expired included in the "provision for income taxes" totaled $24 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The equivalent amount included in capital surplus for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was insignificant.
The Corporation also retrospectively adopted certain changes to the statement of cash flows in accordance with ASU 2016-09. Excess tax benefits must be classified as an operating activity and cash paid to a tax authority by the Corporation when withholding shares from an employee’s award for tax-withholding purposes must be classified as a financing activity. Accordingly, the Corporation reclassified $3 million from operating activities to financing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (unaudited) for the three months ended March 31, 2016 pertaining to shares withheld from employee awards for tax withholding purposes. Excess tax benefits were insignificant for the three months ended March 31, 2016.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost” (ASU 2017-07), which requires employers to report service cost as part of compensation expense and the other components of net benefit cost separately from service cost on the statement of income. ASU 2017-07 is effective for the Corporation on January 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Corporation does not expect the new guidance to have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operation.
NOTE 2 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Corporation utilizes fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. The determination of fair values of financial instruments often requires the use of estimates. In cases where quoted market values in an active market are not available, the Corporation uses present value techniques and other valuation methods to estimate the fair values of its financial instruments. These valuation methods require considerable judgment and the resulting estimates of fair value can be significantly affected by the assumptions made and methods used.
Trading securities, investment securities available-for-sale, derivatives and deferred compensation plan liabilities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Corporation may be required to record other assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, such as impaired loans, other real estate (primarily foreclosed property), nonmarketable equity securities and certain other assets and liabilities. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve write-downs of individual assets or application of lower of cost or fair value accounting.
Refer to note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 for further information about the fair value hierarchy, descriptions of the valuation methodologies and key inputs used to measure financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value, as well as a description of the methods and

ASSETS AND LIABILITIES RECORDED AT FAIR VALUE ON A NONRECURRING BASIS
The Corporation may be required, from time to time, to record certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These include assets that are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value that were recognized at fair value below cost at the end of the period. The following table presents assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. No liabilities were recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Level 3 assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 included loans for which a specific allowance was established based on the fair value of collateral and other real estate for which fair value of the properties was less than the cost basis. For both asset classes, the unobservable inputs were the additional adjustments applied by management to the appraised values to reflect such factors as non-current appraisals and revisions to estimated time to sell. These adjustments are determined based on qualitative judgments made by management on a case-by-case basis and are not quantifiable inputs, although they are used in the determination of fair value.

The following table presents quantitative information related to the significant unobservable inputs utilized in the Corporation's Level 3 recurring fair value measurement as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.The Corporation's Level 3 recurring fair value measurements primarily include auction-rate securities where fair value is determined using an income approach based on a discounted cash flow model and certain interest rate derivative contracts where credit valuation adjustments are significant to the overall fair value of the derivative. The inputs in the table below reflect management's expectation of continued illiquidity in the secondary auction-rate securities market due to a lack of market activity for the issuers remaining in the portfolio, a lack of market incentives for issuer redemptions, and the expectation for a continuing low interest rate environment. The workout periods reflect management's expectation of the pace at which short-term interest rates could rise at each respective period.

ESTIMATED FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS NOT RECORDED AT FAIR VALUE ON A RECURRING BASIS
The Corporation typically holds the majority of its financial instruments until maturity and thus does not expect to realize many of the estimated fair value amounts disclosed. The disclosures also do not include estimated fair value amounts for items that are not defined as financial instruments, but which have significant value. These include such items as core deposit intangibles, the future earnings potential of significant customer relationships and the value of trust operations and other fee generating businesses. The Corporation believes the imprecision of an estimate could be significant.

At March 31, 2017, the Corporation had 238 securities in an unrealized loss position with no credit impairment, including 8 U.S. Treasury securities, 189 residential mortgage-backed securities, 28 auction-rate preferred securities and 13 state and

municipal auction-rate securities. As of March 31, 2017, approximately 96 percent of the aggregate par value of auction-rate securities have been redeemed or sold since acquisition, of which approximately 90 percent were redeemed at or above cost. The unrealized losses for these securities resulted from changes in market interest rates and liquidity. The Corporation ultimately expects full collection of the carrying amount of these securities, does not intend to sell the securities in an unrealized loss position, and it is not more-likely-than-not that the Corporation will be required to sell the securities in an unrealized loss position prior to recovery of amortized cost. The Corporation does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2017.
Sales, calls and write-downs of investment securities available-for-sale resulted in no securities gains or losses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017 and no gains and $2 million of losses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2016, recorded in “net securities losses” on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Securities losses resulted primarily from charges related to a derivative contract tied to the conversion rate of Visa Class B shares.
The following table summarizes the amortized cost and fair values of debt securities by contractual maturity. Securities with multiple maturity dates are classified in the period of final maturity. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

Included in the contractual maturity distribution in the table above were residential mortgage-backed securities available-for-sale with total amortized cost and fair value of $8.0 billion and $7.9 billion, respectively, and residential mortgage-backed securities held-to-maturity with a total amortized cost and fair value of $1.5 billion. The actual cash flows of mortgage-backed securities may differ from contractual maturity as the borrowers of the underlying loans may exercise prepayment options.
At March 31, 2017, investment securities with a carrying value of $1.3 billion were pledged where permitted or required by law to secure $829 million of liabilities, primarily public and other deposits of state and local government agencies and derivative instruments.

(a)
Includes all loans not included in the categories of special mention, substandard or nonaccrual.
(b)
Special mention loans are accruing loans that have potential credit weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention, such as loans to borrowers who may be experiencing financial difficulties that may result in deterioration of repayment prospects from the borrower at some future date.
(c)
Substandard loans are accruing loans that have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses, such as loans to borrowers who may be experiencing losses from operations or inadequate liquidity of a degree and duration that jeopardizes the orderly repayment of the loan. Substandard loans also are distinguished by the distinct possibility of loss in the future if these weaknesses are not corrected. This category is generally consistent with the "substandard" category as defined by regulatory authorities.
(d)
Nonaccrual loans are loans for which the accrual of interest has been discontinued. For further information regarding nonaccrual loans, refer to the Nonperforming Assets subheading in Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies - on page F-56 in the Corporation's 2016 Annual Report. A significant majority of nonaccrual loans are generally consistent with the "substandard" category and the remainder are generally consistent with the "doubtful" category as defined by regulatory authorities.
(e)
Primarily loans to real estate developers.
(f)
Primarily loans secured by owner-occupied real estate.
