Revenue by Segment
Forward Guidance
Comerica expects gradual improvement in economic conditions. The outlook excludes any impact from loan forgiveness on loans, net interest income and expenses.
Positive Outlook
- Average deposits to remain strong and relatively stable (excluding the benefit of possible additional fiscal stimulus).
- Net interest income relatively stable with lower loan balances as well as the impact of lower LIBOR and securities yields, mostly offset by careful management of loan and deposit pricing, the full quarter benefit of the larger securities portfolio and lower wholesale funding.
- Maintain strong capital levels with a focus on supporting growth as well as providing an attractive return to our shareholders.
- Growth in National Dealer Services as inventory levels begin to slowly rebuild.
- Several fee categories due to improving economic conditions.
Challenges Ahead
- Decline in average loans reflects decreases in Mortgage Banker Finance due to a reduction in activity and the cyclical impacts on Middle Market, Large Corporate and Energy.
- Provision for credit losses reflects pace of economic recovery; net charge-offs modestly higher.
