Management Discussion of Second Quarter Results
June 30, 2022
For the quarter ended June 30, 2022, net income amounted to $115.8 million, compared to $118.2 million in the previous quarter and $162.3 million in the same quarter last year. The decrease in net income compared to the previous quarter was primarily the result of an increase in the provision for credit losses, higher non-interest expense and lower securities gains. These decreases to net income were partly offset by higher net interest income and non-interest income. The net yield on interest earning assets grew 34 basis points to 2.79%. Average loans grew $262.4 million compared to the previous quarter, while average available for sale debt securities and average deposits declined $654.6 million and $622.5 million, respectively. For the quarter, the return on average assets was 1.36%, the return on average equity was 16.29%, and the efficiency ratio was 57.3%.

Balance Sheet Review
During the 2nd quarter of 2022, average loans totaled $15.5 billion, an increase of $262.4 million over the prior quarter, and declined $504.9 million, or 3.2%, from the same quarter last year. Compared to the previous quarter, average balances of business loans grew $61.0 million (includes a decline of $45.1 million in Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) average loan balances). Average construction and business real estate loan balances grew $90.4 million and $68.4 million, respectively. Period end loans increased $227.6 million compared to the prior quarter. During the current quarter, the Company sold certain fixed rate personal real estate loans totaling $36.6 million, compared to $55.6 million in the prior quarter.

Total average available for sale debt securities decreased $654.6 million compared to the previous quarter to $14.3 billion, at fair value. The decrease in investment securities was mainly the result of lower balances of mortgage-backed securities. During the current quarter, purchases of securities totaled $73.8 million with a weighted average yield of approximately 3.03%. Sales, maturities and pay downs were $715.4 million. At June 30, 2022, the duration of the investment portfolio was 3.8 years, and maturities and pay downs of approximately $2.2 billion are expected to occur during the next 12 months.

Total average deposits decreased $622.5 million this quarter compared to the previous quarter. The decrease in deposits mostly resulted from lower demand deposits and certificates of deposits of $335.0 million, and $231.7 million, respectively. Compared to the previous quarter, total average commercial and wealth deposits declined $672.4 million and $256.2 million, respectively, while total average consumer deposits increased $307.5 million. The average loans to deposits ratio was 53.9% in the current quarter and 51.9% in the prior quarter. The Company’s average borrowings, which include customer repurchase agreements, were $2.4 billion
in the 2nd quarter of 2022 and $2.7 billion in the prior quarter.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income in the 2nd quarter of 2022 amounted to $232.4 million, an increase of $23.6 million compared to the previous quarter. On a tax equivalent basis, net interest income for the current quarter increased $23.6 million over the previous quarter to $235.0 million. The increase in net interest income was mainly due to higher income earned on investment securities and loans. The net yield on earning assets (tax equivalent) increased to 2.79%, compared to 2.45% in the prior quarter.

Compared to the previous quarter, interest income on loans (tax equivalent) increased $10.5 million, due to higher average rates this quarter. Interest on business, business real estate, and construction loans grew mostly due to higher average rates coupled with higher average loan balances. The average tax-equivalent yield on the loan portfolio increased 18 basis points to 3.72% this quarter.

Interest income on investment securities (tax equivalent) increased $15.6 million compared to the prior quarter, due to higher rates earned. Interest income earned on U.S. government and federal agency securities increased due to higher rates earned, which included the impact of $4.4 million in higher inflation income from Treasury inflation-protected securities. Additionally, $6.5 million of non-accrual interest was received on the sale of a private equity investment this quarter. At June 30, 2022, the Company recorded a $5.0 million adjustment to premium amortization, which increased interest income to reflect considerably slower forward prepayment speed estimates on mortgage-backed securities, but it was less than the $7.5 million adjustment recorded in the prior quarter. The yield on total investment securities was 2.36% in the current quarter, compared to 1.97% in the previous quarter.

The average rate paid on interest bearing deposits totaled .07% in the current quarter compared to .05% in the prior quarter. Interest expense on deposits increased $627 thousand this quarter compared to the previous quarter, while interest expense on securities sold under agreements to repurchase increased $2.0 million, due to a 38 basis point increase in the average rate paid. The overall rate paid on interest bearing liabilities was .12% in the current quarter compared to .06% in the prior quarter.

Non-Interest Income
In the 2nd quarter of 2022, total non-interest income amounted to $139.4 million, an increase of $284 thousand compared to the same period last year, and increased $7.7 million compared to the prior quarter. The increase in non-interest income compared to the same period last year was mainly

COMMERCE BANCSHARES, INC.                                
Management Discussion of Second Quarter Results
June 30, 2022
due to higher deposit, bank card, and sweep fees, mostly offset by lower loan fees and sales and a fair value adjustment on the Company’s deferred compensation plan assets. The increase in non-interest income compared to the prior quarter was mainly due to higher deposit account, sweep, bank card, and other fees.

Total net bank card fees in the current quarter increased $1.3 million, or 3.0%, over the same period last year, and increased $1.8 million compared to the prior quarter. Net corporate card fees increased $1.6 million, or 6.9%, over the same quarter of last year mainly due to higher interchange fee income, partly offset by higher rewards expense. Net debit card fees increased $28 thousand, or .3% and net merchant fees increased $39 thousand, or .8%, while net credit card fees decreased $393 thousand, or 9.6%. Total net bank card fees this quarter were comprised of fees on corporate card ($24.7 million), debit card ($10.5 million), merchant ($4.9 million) and credit card ($3.7 million) transactions.

In the current quarter, trust fees increased $535 thousand, or 1.2%, over the same period last year, resulting from higher private client fee income. Compared to the same period last year, deposit account fees increased $1.6 million, or 6.6%, mainly due to higher corporate cash management fees. Loan fees and sales, mostly mortgage banking revenue, declined $4.2 million, or 56.4%, compared to amounts recorded in the same quarter last year. Consumer brokerage fees increased $565 thousand, or 12.5%, compared to the same quarter last year.

Other non-interest income increased from the same period last year primarily due to higher sweep fees of $2.3 million and income of $2.2 million from a life insurance death benefit. These items were mostly offset by a $3.7 million decrease in fair value adjustment on the Company’s deferred compensation plan assets, which are held in a trust and recorded as both an asset and liability, affecting both other income and other expense. For the 2nd quarter of 2022, non-interest income comprised 37.5% of the Company’s total revenue.

Investment Securities Gains and Losses
The Company recorded net securities gains of $1.0 million in the current quarter, compared to gains of $7.2 million in the prior quarter and gains of $16.8 million in the 2nd quarter of 2021. Net securities gains in the current quarter primarily resulted from net fair value gains of $15.6 million in the Company’s private equity investment portfolio, mostly offset by losses of $9.6 million on sales of available for sale securities and a $4.3 million loss on the sale of an investment in the Company’s private equity portfolio. The Company received $6.5 million in nonaccrual interest, recorded in net interest income, upon the sale of the investment.

Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense for the current quarter amounted to $213.5 million, compared to $198.1 million in the same period last year and $205.6 million in the prior quarter. The increase in non-interest expense compared to the same period last year was mainly due to higher salaries expense, data processing and software expense, and travel and entertainment expense. The increase in non-interest expense compared to the prior quarter was mainly due to higher salaries expense, partially offset by lower benefits expense.

Compared to the 2nd quarter of last year, salaries and employee benefits expense increased $11.5 million, mostly due to higher full-time salaries expense, of $4.9 million and an accrual of $5.4 million for special bonuses to be paid to non-incentivized part-time and full-time employees in the 2nd half of 2022. Full-time equivalent employees totaled 4,579 and 4,590 at June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Compared to the same period last year, data processing and software expense increased $2.7 million due to higher software amortization, bank card processing fees and increased costs for service providers this quarter. Other non-interest expense decreased $383 thousand, mainly due to a decline of $3.7 million in the deferred compensation adjustment previously mentioned, mostly offset by increases in travel and entertainment expense, loan collection fees, and legal and professional fees of $1.3 million, $430 thousand, and $339 thousand, respectively.

Income Taxes
The effective tax rate for the Company was 21.7% in the current quarter, 21.3% in the previous quarter, and 21.8% in the 2nd quarter of 2021.

Credit Quality
Net loan charge-offs in the 2nd quarter of 2022 amounted to $4.0 million, compared to $4.6 million in the prior quarter and $699 thousand in the same period last year. The ratio of annualized net loan charge-offs to total average loans was .10% in the current quarter, .12% in the previous quarter, and .02% in the 2nd quarter of last year. Net loan charge-offs on personal banking loans decreased $638 thousand to $3.9 million.

In the 2nd quarter of 2022, annualized net loan charge-offs on average consumer credit card loans were 2.19%, compared to 2.53% in the previous quarter, and 3.59% in the same quarter last year. Consumer loan net charge-offs were .12% of average consumer loans in the current quarter, .16% in the prior quarter, and .08% in the same quarter last year.

At June 30, 2022, the allowance for credit losses on loans totaled $138.0 million, or .88% of total loans. Additionally, the liability for unfunded lending commitments at June 30, 2022 was $24.9 million, a

June 30, 2022
decrease of $125 thousand compared to the liability at March 31, 2022.

At June 30, 2022, total non-accrual loans amounted to $7.9 million, a decrease of $418 thousand from the previous quarter. At June 30, 2022, the balance of non-accrual loans, which represented .05% of loans outstanding, included business loans of $6.3 million, personal real estate loans of $1.4 million, and business real estate loans of $167 thousand. Loans more than 90 days past due and still accruing interest totaled $11.9 million at June 30, 2022.

Other
During the 2nd quarter of 2022, the Company paid a cash dividend of $.265 per common share, representing a 6.0% increase over the same period last year. The Company purchased 846,223 shares of treasury stock during the current quarter at an average price of $67.77.
