Fees from securities business remain below last year

Highlights Q2
Stable NCI in CC reflects sustained strong business in capital markets, especially bond issuances
Underlying net commission income
NCI in PSBC Germany below last year due to lower fees at Commerz Real as well as decrease of securities transactions in a less volatile market and restraint in investment due to increased deposit rates
FY 2023 NCI expected to be slightly below last year
(€m)
Q2 with record NII
Underlying net interest income (€m)

Highlights Q2
QoQ higher NII at CC mainly from higher rates and benign deposit beta development
QoQ lower NII at PSBC Germany mainly from ~-€30m burden due to fewer mortgages prepayments – offsetting effect in O&C
QoQ higher NII at mBank mainly due to effective margin management Improved NII at O&C additionally reflects benefits from higher short term rates – partially offset in NFV
NII outlook increased to ≥ €7.8bn – partial offset in NFV

Comments
Average deposit volume at level of Q2 assumed Stable loan volumes assumed
Sensitivity to deposit beta1 : change of +/- 1 percentage point of deposit beta in Q3-Q4 leads to ~ -/+ €45m change in NII
NII increase in O&C partially offset in NFV
1) Deposit beta is the average interest pass-through rate to customers across interest bearing and non-interest bearing deposit products

Total expenses (€m)

Highlights H1
Operating expenses rose as a result of general salary increases as well as earlier increases of accruals for variable compensation compared to last year
Decreasing European bank levy due to lower target volume for 2023 in Q1 driven by reduced growth for European covered deposits and increase of payment commitments in Q2
Less Deposit Guarantee Scheme because of introduction of Institutional Protection Scheme in Poland in 2022 (~-€83m)
Lower compulsory contribution and cost management led to decreasing total expenses more than offsetting increases due to inflation and earlier variable compensation accruals
High credit quality maintained

German economy expected to stay weak

In the spring, the German economy stabilized, after having previously contracted slightly for two consecutive quarters and thus being in recession according to the usual definition.
The decisive factor in each case was probably private consumption, which fell sharply in the winter half-year and presumably did not fall further in the second quarter. This can probably be explained by the gradual decline in inflation, which had significantly depressed households' real disposable incomes before. Most recently, this pressure has eased in view of falling energy prices and slowing inflation.
Due to the weak economy, the number of unemployed has risen slightly in recent months. To be sure, this is partly due to the fact that more refugees from Ukraine are officially counted as unemployed. But even without this effect, the trend is upward. However, unemployment remains significantly lower than it has been for most of the past 40 years.
Since its high of just under 9% last fall, the inflation rate has fallen to 6.2% in July. Energy prices, for example, have recently not risen nearly as much as a year earlier; in some cases they have even fallen somewhat. The same applies to food prices. The core inflation rate - excluding energy and food - has also fallen recently, but at 5.5% in July it was still very clearly above the ECB's target of 2%.

Falling leading indicators and clear downward trends in new orders for the industry and the construction sector argue against the stabilization in the second quarter to already mark the end of the recession.
The general economic conditions have deteriorated noticeably. The ECB and most other Western central banks have massively increased interest rates, which will slow the economy with the usual delay. Real GDP is therefore likely to contract again in the second half of the year. As a consequence, real GDP is also likely to decline slightly on average for the year.
The inflation rate is likely to fall further in the coming months to around 4% at the end of the year. This is because energy prices are likely to be lower than a year earlier, and food inflation is expected to continue to fall. Finally, price pressure from increased material costs is also easing. However, underlying inflation will remain well above the ECB's target of 2%, as the next wave of costs will hit companies as wages rise noticeably faster. Consequently, the ECB is unlikely to lower its key rate in the coming year. This is an important argument why we expect at best a very moderate recovery of the German economy in the coming year. On average for the year, it is likely to merely stagnate.

Automotive


Portfolio comments / sector outlook
- Notwithstanding individual underperformances, we still see that our expectation of acceptable results in 2023 is substantiated as the year progresses. We also believe that 2024 will proof as challenging as previous years, but with structural challenges becoming more and more the driving force for credit risks as opposed to the repeated event risks observed in the recent past
- While we are convinced of the fundamental allure of individual mobilization, the challenges of the disruptive and dynamic technological transformation, management of supply chains in light of geopolitical risks, advent of new competitors and more and more indications of eroding competitiveness in the EU and particularly Germany is putting pressure on OEMs and suppliers alike
- OEM/Tier1-supplier continue to be the cornerstone of our portfolio and are assessed to emerge from current challenges fundamentally intact. Exceptionally strong OEM profit levels observed in 2022 are expected to moderate somewhat in 2023
- Automotive suppliers had already to deal with margin pressure due to strong rise of price levels for energy, logistics and others. Clients with weaknesses in its business model, e.g. a weak market position will find it hard to pass through increased costs, eroding margins. Further rating migrations are hence expected to be more pronounced for those clients
- Client specific risk factors are assessed to materialize from time to time, leading to an moderate increase of intensive care cases. Usual reasons triggering a transfer include short term liquidity needs or complex refinancing situations. Commerzbank is continuously evaluating and mitigating respective risks by increasing structural protections and consult early on with the client and all related internal functions, including the intensive care department

Machinery

Portfolio comments / sector outlook
- Overall stable sector due to internationalization and very high diversification within the portfolio
- The sub-segments are tangent to varying degrees. The various trouble spots affect esp. weaker companies
- Supply chain disruptions (delays, shortages, esp. critical parts) eased slightly, however prices for materials and services are still high and labour costs are expected to increase further. Measures to partially offset these negative effects were taken. Here again the bigger players are able to cope better with the challenges
- Delays in transport are not longer reported as a serious threat to production
- Cooling of the world economy and broadly increasing interest rates are resulting in a slight decline in order intake. However, the majority of the clients have a solid order book mostly covering the annual 2023 production and some clients even have order books filled until mid 2024, with a vivid order intake
- Prices: Price escalator clauses are now common for new orders and higher prices are widely accepted by off-takers. But due to the time delay, price transfers have partially led to a weakening of the profit margins an effect that continues especially for clients with long production processes (18-24 month)
- Higher prices and the solid order book led to an increased demand for financing especially for guarantee business. Cash financings are mainly requested by strong market players when they see a good opportunity to consolidate their market or broaden their product range or production capability
Sector portfolio based on BSS (Industry Control Key) Sector Outlook

Energy / Utilities

Portfolio comments / sector outlook
- Energy sector: As part of the critical infrastructure the sector is fundamentally stable, albeit was strongly affected by the erratic price developments of fossil fuels, especially gas, last year. Thanks to heavy state interventions in all of Europe and a very mild winter the price levels have evened out on an overall acceptable level and as of today the energy supply seems secure for the coming winter 2023/2024. Gas storage levels are high in all of Europe. Russian energy export do not play a significant role in Europe's energy supply anymore
- Some risk factors remain: the operating LNG terminals in Germany have not reached full capacity yet. Due to lower prices the energy savings dropped again for private households and the industry sector under the necessary level. The upcoming winter might not be as mild as the last one. Asian and especially Chinas demand for LNG is rising again. Even if this might not lead to a gas shortage it at least will have effects on the price level. Prices may rise again starting the end of summer / beginning of autumn. To be prepared for this we observe high liquidity reserves by our clients
- On the other hand the climate transition is on a good way. More and more (Offshore) wind parks and large array of solar panels are coming online and the share of the energy production of sustainable fuels rose last year to a record high of 12% worldwide (39% incl. nuclear). Even if coal remained an important energy source due to the crisis last year and pushed the global warming emissions, we believe that from 2024 on we might see a significant drop in the demand for fossil fuels
- Overall, the financial effects for the energy sector should be manageable

Construction / Paper

Portfolio comments / sector outlook
- The construction portfolio is diversified with a high proportion of borrowers with investment-grade ratings. Bigger customers are international companies in Europe. The financing focus lies in the short-term and guarantee business
- The increases in material and energy costs led to an significant increase of building costs. The sharp rise in energy costs, the rise in interest rates and due to the accelerating inflation consumers suffer a significant loss of purchasing power. This has led to a significant decline of incoming orders mainly in the private sector but also for commercial and infrastructure investments in Germany. The slowing demand shows a significant negative impact on the construction supply industry and the building materials trade. At the moment we do not see any relaxation for the 2. half-year
- Due to necessary investments in the production plants the portfolio in the paper sector has a higher part of mid- and long-term credit facilities. The credit exposure increased continuously over the last months
- The Paper industry is experiencing a significant decline in demand due to the overall economic reluctance to buy. This requires price reductions on the sales side, which exceed the material cost savings and the relief on the energy side. Therefore the companies calculate with a lower profitability for 2023
- However, the larger companies have broader opportunity to face the current challenges and were able to build up sufficient buffers in the past
Sector portfolio based on BSS (Industry Control Key) Sector Outlook

Chemicals / Plastics

Portfolio comments / sector outlook
- Despite the effects of the Ukraine War and the recessionary trends with high inflation and rising interest rates, the portfolio's risk profile is satisfactory, with 83% investment-grade addresses. 75% of the loans have a term of 3y and are therefore flexible. Outlook: At best, all companies expect stable sales for 2023 without volume growth. EBITDA is expected to reduce by 15-25%, margin pressure are noticeable. Large caps and global players generally have strong financials and are able to absorb the impact of the economic slowdown. While the risk profile of SMEs will temporarily weaken (especially in the plastics sector)
- Commodity Chemicals: Gas serves as a raw material/primary energy source in the production process. The danger of a Gas limitation in the winter 2022/2023 was avoided. The rise in energy costs leads to margin erosion and less attractive production in Germany. Companies are taking the following measures: cost-cutting programs, price increases (price escalation clauses), investment reduction, plant refitting to oil, reactivation of coal-fired power plants and increased use of renewable energies. Some companies are considering to transfer unprofitable production sites to other countries (domestic de-industrialization)
- Global player with production sites in America, Asia and parts out of Western Europe can temporarily balance out negative influences in individual locations. The chemical industry is often at the beginning of the value chain and can trigger a chain reaction with unforeseeable consequences if pre-products or intermediates are missing
- Plastic as an important industry with composite materials follow the cyclical nature of their costumer markets and is mostly anchored in the small and medium-sized businesses. Companies are often not able to pass on the energy/raw material prices directly (time lag). Therefore the margins are temporarily weakened
Sector portfolio based on BSS (Industry Control Key) Sector Outlook

Metals

Portfolio comments / sector outlook
- The metal portfolio is diversified with a high share of borrowers with investment grade ratings. The portfolio is also regionally wide spread with a high share of international exposures. The focus is primarily on short and mid term business. Against this background, the portfolio is well-prepared for a recession scenario. However sector strategy is still on hold due to the ongoing structural challenges
- Metal production and processing are highly affected by energy- and gas-price development. Gas serves both as a process component and a primary energy source in the production process. The metal industry is often at the beginning of the value chain and can trigger a knock-on effect with considerable consequences for the buying industries, especially automotive, machinery and construction. Global positioning protects some groups with diversified locations. Production sites in America, Asia and parts of Europe outside the primarily affected countries can temporarily balance out negative influences in individual locations. Moreover, many players have fixed energy contracts for several years to mitigate the bulk of the energy price risk. However some groups (especially aluminum and steel production) have cut production in Europe because of the high energy prices
- The metal industry had a strong performance in the past two years because of the rising prices and the good business environment. Due to the economic downturn this has come to an end in 2023, but the earning situation in the sector is still acceptable and sufficient. Some problems are yet to materialize in terms of shrinking demand and rising energy costs. However, producers are entering this downturn in a better leveraged position than in previous periods. Therefore the sector outlook overall is stable

- New business in Q2 2023 with €2.1bn around 39% higher than in previous quarter but still on much lower level than in previous years
- PD in new business slightly deteriorated to 0.50%, repayment rates slightly down from 2.59% to 2.54%
- Portfolio guidelines and observations for PD, LtCV and repayment rates are continuously monitored
- Average "Beleihungsauslauf" (BLA) in new business of 81.1% in Q2 2023. German BLA is more conservative than the internationally used LtV definition due to the application of the strict German Pfandbrief law
- Increased costs of living are adequately taken into account in the application process
Risk parameters unchanged, but economic environment of rising interest rates, inflation and recession is still challenging – however, we do not expect significant price declines in the German real estate market within the next months

IAS 19: Development of pension obligations
Cumulated actuarial gains and losses (€m)

Cumulated OCI effect1 Pension obligations (gross) Discount rate in %2
Explanation
The EUR IAS19 discount rate went slightly down YtD at Q2 2023, due to both a lower IR component and CS component. The present-valued pension obligations (DBO) therefore increased slightly, which produced a modest valuation loss in OCI. The actual inflation adjustment of running pensions, being higher than the long-term inflation expectation used in the actuarial DBO calculation, induced an additional one-off valuation loss in OCI
As market yields similarly went down YtD at Q2 2023, the market value of pension assets modestly increased, producing a valuation gain in OCI which over-compensated the valuation loss from the DBO side
In total the liability loss and the higher asset gain led to a YtD OCI effect of +€57m (after tax) on Group level
The discount rate is derived from an AA rated government bond basket, re-calibrated on corporate bond level, with average duration of 14 years
Funding ratio (plan assets vs. pension obligations) is 108% across all Group plans
1) OCI effect driven by development of plan assets versus pension obligations, after tax, without minorities; cumulated since 1/1/2013 (new IAS19 standard) including possible restatements
2) Discount rate for pension plans in Germany (represents 96% of total pension obligations)
FX impact on CET1 ratio

QoQ change in FX capital position
Explanation
Slight positive impact on CET1 ratio1 from the increasing effect of currency translation reserve as it overcompensates higher FX driven credit risk RWA
Increase in credit risk RWA from FX effects mainly due to stronger PLN (+€668m), GBP (+€176m) and USD (+€15m), partly offset by RUB (-€143m)
Higher currency translation reserve mainly due to increase from PLN (+€114m), GBP (+€14m) and USD (+€1m), slightly compensated by RUB (-€30m)

- This presentation contains forward-looking statements. Forwardlooking 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 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.
