CET1 ratio increased to 14.1% - IFRS 9 impact ~75bp

  • › Increase of CET1 ratio to 14.1% due to lower RWA (140bp y-o-y / 40bp q-o-q) and higher capital (30bp y-o-y / 10bp q-o-q)
  • › With IFRS 9 all shipping loans (ACR and CC) are reclassified to Fair Value as guided future burden minimized

German economy 2018 – ongoing upswing


German economy has grown significantly in recent quarters. Very positive
sentiment indicators indicate, that this will not change soon.

The main drivers of growth are still private consumption and investment in
buildings. The German economy is also benefiting from a stronger world
economy and especially the upswing in the Euro area. In the course of 2017
even the investment in machinery and equipment has picked up.

However, less dynamic growth in some parts of the world economy

  • › The average funding ratio (plan assets vs pension obligations) of all plans increased to 95%
  • › Liability gain was supported by higher market values of plan assets, producing a positive ytd OCI capital effect of € 145m

Weakening of USD with net positive impact on capital ratio

  • › Average "Beleihungsauslauf" (BLA) in new business of 82% with stable development in 2017. German BLA is more conservative than the internationally used LtV definition due to the application of the strict German Pfandbrief law

Risk parameters still on very good level, loan decisions remain conservative

Glossary – Capital Allocation / RoE, RoTE & RoCET1 Calculation

Capital Allocation
Amount of average capital allocated to business segments is calculated by multiplying the
segments current YTD average Basel 3 RWA (fully phased-in) (PSBC €37.6bn, CC €95.1bn, O&C
€27.0bn, ACR €19.9bn) by a ratio of 11% and 15% for ACR respectively -
reflecting current
regulatory and market standard

Excess capital reconciling to Group CET1 Basel 3 fully phased-in is allocated to Others &
Consolidation

intangible assets on Group level and on an average level of 11% (and 15% for ACR respectively)
of the RWAs Basel 3 fully phased-in after addition of capital deductions Basel 3 fully phased-in

This presentation contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts; they include, inter alia, statements about Commerzbank's beliefs and expectations and the assumptions underlying them. These statements are based on plans, estimates, projections and targets as they are currently available to the management of Commerzbank. Forward-looking statements therefore speak only as of the date they are made, and Commerzbank undertakes no obligation to update any of them in light of new information or future events. By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. A number of important factors could therefore cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Such factors include, among others, the conditions in the financial markets in Germany, in Europe, in the United States and elsewhere from which Commerzbank derives a substantial portion of its revenues and in which it hold a substantial portion of its assets, the development of asset prices and market volatility, potential defaults of borrowers or trading counterparties, the implementation of its strategic initiatives and the reliability of its risk management policies.

In addition, this presentation contains financial and other information which has been derived from publicly available information disclosed by persons other than Commerzbank ("external data"). In particular, external data has been derived from industry and customer-related data and other calculations taken or derived from industry reports published by third parties, market research reports and commercial publications. Commercial publications generally state that the information they contain has originated from sources assumed to be reliable, but that the accuracy and completeness of such information is not guaranteed and that the calculations contained therein are based on a series of assumptions. The external data has not been independently verified by Commerzbank.
