Dear Fellow Shareholders,

The year 2000 ended as it opened — with an exciting event illustrating Comerica’s strength and leadership. From

the cold, snowy opening day in April at Comerica Park in downtown Detroit, to our November announcement in

Los Angeles of our acquisition of Imperial Bancorp, 2000 was an important year for Comerica.

2000 Annual Report 9

Strength of Leadership

We are the business bank of choice.

Comerica is a premier business bank. Our emphasis is on middle market and small business lending. We are 
among the nation’s top 20 small business lenders. We also rank first in commercial and industrial loans as a 
percent of total assets.

More than 90 percent of Comerica’s loan portfolio is comprised of business loans. More than half of the portfolio 
is made up of loans to middle market companies.

The typical business loan ($5 million) at Comerica is to an owner-managed company with $5 million to 
$250 million in annual sales. Our approach to lending is anything but typical.

We focus on relationships.

We know how to form lasting relationships with business owners and managers. We get to know and understand 
them, as well as their businesses. By offering creative solutions that meet their distinct needs, we are helping 
their businesses succeed.

Our winning strategy is built on skill, not scale. Our skill is our expertise in relationship building. This is a 
differentiating strength.

Relationship managers at Comerica are known for their ingenuity, flexibility, responsiveness and attention to 
detail. They are seasoned professionals, with 15 to 20 years of experience being the norm.

Having lasting relationships with customers means we stay the course with them through thick and thin. We 
are used to navigating the swift currents of change.

Along with our ability and willingness to lend, we have a proven ability to cross-sell our customers a variety of 
lending and non-lending products and services that meet their needs and help them be successful.

Leveraging our Strengths

f o cu s

We operate in high-growth metropolitan areas.

We have chosen to operate in high-growth, metropolitan markets where we can practice our brand of 
business banking. The two cities in which our banks in Texas and California are headquartered — 
San Jose and Dallas — are ranked number five and number nine in Fortune magazine’s 2000 ranking 
of “the best cities for business.” In addition, we have business banking offices in Atlanta, San Francisco,
Denver and Chicago — four other cities on Fortune’s top 10 cities list. And, Michigan, our headquarters 
state, has led the nation for the fourth year in a row in business expansion and development, according 
to Site Selection magazine.

Our geographic footprint is greatly extended by our union with Imperial Bancorp, which provides us 
deeper penetration into California as well as entry into Phoenix, Boston, the Seattle area and other 
high-growth centers of business.

We also have business banking operations north and south of the U.S. border. Our North American 
platform is a benefit to companies that have cross-border relationships. From Toronto to Mexico City 
and many points in between, we are able to quickly and efficiently support the trade and investment 
flows of our business customers.

Local decision making contributes to our success in the markets we serve. It is our people who make 
the difference.

We are asset gatherers.

Comerica deepens its relationships with individual and corporate customers through
asset gathering. Our primary objective is to earn the right to manage, advise and 
hold client assets. Comerica’s asset gathering is driven by a strong sales and service
culture and a passion to help customers succeed.

Our investment services affiliate, Munder Capital Management (www.munder.com),
helps us accomplish our asset-gathering objective. Munder Capital Management 
is a leading U.S. money management firm with approximately $48 billion in assets 
under management.

Our nationwide alliances with PaineWebber and Dain Rauscher also support our 
asset-gathering objective. Trust alliances such as these have become an important 
new line of business for Private Banking, giving Comerica the ability to market its 
trust services nationwide and providing significant distribution channels through 
which we can offer our personal trust products.

While our asset gathering is nationwide in scope, as a company we focus our banking 
activities in major business centers.

12 Comerica Incorporated

2000 Annual Report 13

Strength of Character

We are highly motivated.

Shared goals drive our sales culture. Individual and team performance in meeting customer needs is rewarded. We
have more than 10 national business referral programs, such as those undertaken in Private Banking and Treasury
Management Services, that reward employees for referrals resulting in new business.

Comerica’s Million Dollar Investment Club (MDIC) rewards employees and retirees whose successful referrals to key 
investment areas total $1 million or more in one calendar year. Some 1,000 colleagues are MDIC members.

As part of Brainstorm 2000! we rewarded employees for their great ideas to increase efficiency, enhance revenue 
and reduce costs. The 10 winning ideas are expected to generate $1.3 million in annual revenue and reduce 
annual expenses by $1.7 million. Scott Cornell and Estella Roberts, both of Comerica’s Service Company, won the 
top prize for their idea to streamline customer statements.

Our National Quality Excellence Award recognizes 10 Comerica colleagues annually who demonstrate a superior 
level of customer service. Our overall winner for 2000 is Arma Brown, a branch manager in Michigan.

Our emphasis on service quality is matched by our attention to credit quality.

We are expert underwriters; our credit culture is strong.

At Comerica, we know how to underwrite credit. Despite fluctuations in the economy, our asset quality remains 
superior. Constant monitoring and controls provide a solid foundation for our credit process.

There is a seamless integration of credit and lending at Comerica. All of our credit officers have experience that
includes work as lenders. Likewise, all of our lenders have received credit training. Our internal credit college 
is second to none. The on-the-job training and continuing credit education we provide sets us apart from others 
within and outside of our industry.

Speed and accuracy are hallmarks of our deeply ingrained credit culture. They are the same attributes that play 
an important role in the delivery of state-of-the-art services to customers.

Leadership at Work

We are technologically advanced.

Customers appreciate the growing availability from Comerica of leading-edge Internet services. 
With the launch in 2000 of Comerica NetVisionSM, businesses can quickly determine their cash 
position and manage funds from anywhere in the world through an industry standard web browser.

Comerica became the first financial services provider to offer balance reporting, file transfer and 
transaction initiation services over the Advanced Network Exchange (ANX®), a virtual private tunnel
through the Internet. Comerica also became the first U.S. banking company to offer TradeCard®
to initiate, negotiate, fulfill and settle international trade transactions online.

Comerica’s commercial card programs provide businesses powerful information management tools
with online access to reporting.

Individual customers also benefit from our emphasis on Internet technology. Comerica Web Banking
made its debut in 2000 as our online banking system. Private Banking created an Internet site for
high net worth clients. Comerica Securities, our full service broker-dealer, also enhanced its Internet
presence in 2000.

Comerica’s ability to manage technological change is a proven strength. The dedication of our Service
Company, particularly in its transformation to a customer-service focused support organization,
enables our business units to succeed.

Dedication at Comerica also extends to the places where we live and work.

a bi l i t y

We are leaders in the communities we serve.

At Comerica, we know that our business can only be as healthy as the markets we serve. That is why we 
are dedicated to improving the communities where we live and work. We do this through contributions, 
partnerships and volunteer resources.

For example, in 2000 Comerica raised more than $1.8 million in employee pledges for United Way and 
the Black United Fund, a 14 percent increase over the previous year.

Our Comerica Charitable Foundation serves as a model of corporate responsibility and leadership in the
Michigan community. A foundation grant to the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute, for example, 
supports a special program for cancer patients visiting the Institute for the first time.

A grant from Comerica Bank-California to the Mayfair Neighborhood Improvement Initiative supports the 
initiative’s Leadership Academy. A gift from Comerica Bank-Texas enables enhancements at Old City Park,
such as digital audio tours of The Historical Village of Dallas. The Florida region of Comerica Bank partners
with the Boca Raton YMCA, and in 2000 served as main sponsor of the annual Champion’s Ball, one of 
the Y’s top fundraisers.

We listen. We understand. We make it work.
