  • › €1bn increase of Operational Risk RWA due to changes in the external loss database
  • › Market and Credit Risk RWA stable with higher Credit Risk RWA from loan growth offset by RWA management and FX effects

Objectives and expectations for 2019

We continue our growth strategy and expect higher underlying revenues We plan to maintain a dividend pay-out ratio comparable to 2018 We expect a risk result not below €550m We target a cost base below €6.8bn We target a CET1 ratio ≥12.75%

German economy 2019/2020 – looking for the turn-around

In H1 2019 the German economy stayed weak, and probably contracted in
Q2. While manufacturing is in recession, services are still holding up.
DAX
(avg. p.a.)
Current
development
This divergence points to weak external demand as the main reason of
recent weak growth, particularly weighing on the automotive and machinery
industries. In contrast, the expansionary stance of ECB's monetary policy is
still supporting internal demand.
10,957 10,196 12,431 12,272 11,800
Given the still low readings of sentiment indicators risks have increased that
the current period of low growth will stay for longer.
2015 2016 2017 2018 2019e
Our expectation In the further course of 2019 somewhat stronger demand in some parts of the
world economy (especially in China based on the government's stimulus
measures) will probably help global as well as German manufacturing.
Accordingly the sentiment indicators should at least stabilize in the coming
months. However, the recovery of China is not a given.
Euribor
-0.02
(avg. p.a. in %)
for 2019/2020 Because of the weak first half of the year the German economy will expand
only by 0.4% in 2019 (after 1.4% in 2018). Growth in 2020 should be some
what stronger again with an increase of real GDP by 1.3%. However, this
higher growth rate is partly due to more working days in 2020.

Digitalisation progress in Commerzbank 4.0

Continuing loan and deposit growth

  • › Loan growth in Private and Small Business Customers mainly driven by mortgage business in Germany and mBank's loan book
  • › Increased loan volumes in Mittelstand and International Corporates are offset by lower loan volumes in Financial Institutions and in legacy portfolios – ongoing deposit optimisation

Significant NII potential in scenario of rising interest rates

  • › Year 1 effect of ~€500-550m driven by short-end rates due to large stock of overnight (excess) deposits reduced sensitivity due to increased investment in models
  • › Thereof ~1/3 stem from leaving the negative interest rate territory
  • › Year 4 effect of ~€900-950m driven by higher reinvestment yield of modelled deposits used to refinance longer term loans reduced sensitivity also due to flatter interest rate curve

Capital markets funding activities

  • › €5.9bn issued in first half year 2019 (average term over 8 years) thereof:
    • Covered bonds: €2bn benchmarks with maturities from 5 years and 15 years
    • Preferred senior: 2 benchmark transactions of 5 and 7 years with total volume of €2.25bn
    • Non-preferred senior: €500m benchmark with 7 years maturity
  • › Total funding volume for 2019 expected to be approx. €10bn
  • › Issuance of \$1bn AT1 in early July

IAS 19: Development of pension obligations

Additional information

  • › Pension obligations increased YtD due to massive decrease in discount rate. This effect could almost exactly be compensated through an increased market value of plan assets
  • › YtD OCI capital effect of -€239m after tax
  • › The IAS19 discount rate is derived from a AA rated corporate bond basket yield with average duration of 18 years
  • › The average funding ratio (plan assets vs. pension obligations) of all Group plans is 91.9%
  • › Since 2013, hedge via plan assets dampened the obligation increase of €2,971m to a cumulated OCI capital effect of -€1,112m

Weakening of both, USD and GBP, with net positive impact on capital ratio

Explanation

  • › QoQ the EUR strengthened by +1.3% against the USD and by +4.5% against the GBP, resulting in total to -€0.9bn lower Credit Risk RWA
  • › Due to weakening the currency translation reserve for USD and GBP decreased in total by -€45m impacting the CET1 ratio
  • › Positive impact of USD and GBP on CET1 ratio due to lower Credit Risk RWA partially offset by decreasing currency translation reserve in USD and GBP

Residential mortgage business vs. property prices

Source: vdpresearch, Commerzbank Research

  • › Prices of houses and flats, existing stock and newly constructed dwellings, averages
  • › Munich (MUC), Berlin (BER), Hamburg (HAM), Frankfurt (FRA), Cologne (COL)

  • › Growing mortgage volume with a very good risk quality:

    • 12/15: EaD €62.6bn RD 12bp
    • 12/16: EaD €66.8bn RD 10bp
    • 12/17: EaD €75.2bn RD 9bp
    • 12/18: EaD €81.0bn RD 9bp
    • 03/19: EaD €83.8bn RD 9bp
    • 06/19: EaD €84.8bn RD 8bp
  • › Rating profile with a share of 90% in investment grade ratings
  • › Vintages of recent years developed more favourably so far and NPLs remain at a low level
  • › Due to risk-oriented selection, RD still very low
  • › As a consequence of low interest rates, repayment rates remain on a very high level
  • › Average "Beleihungsauslauf" (BLA) in new business of 81% in Q2/2019. 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

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. Therefore, Commerzbank cannot assume any responsibility for the accuracy of the external data taken or derived from public sources.
