Q1 | 13 |
Increased fees from securities business
Underlying net commission income (€m)
Highlights Q1
NCI in PSBC Germany higher QoQ mainly due to good securities business
In PSBC Germany increase in securities volumes and number of transactions as well as higher sales volumes of life insurance business
NCI in CC stable QoQ with good performance of the bond business and weaker contribution from FX business
NII with so far limited impact from higher deposit beta
Underlying net interest income (excl. TLTRO) (€m)
Highlights Q1
QoQ lower NII at PSBC Germany mainly due to less benefits from prepayment of mortgages – offsetting effect in O&C
Stable revenue contribution from mortgages
QoQ lower NII at mBank mainly due to higher deposit beta
QoQ lower NII at CC with higher funding costs for trading books and slightly lower contribution from loans not fully compensated by better NII from deposits
Improved NII at O&C mainly due to higher short term rates that increase NII from floating rate and short term instruments – offset in NFV by corresponding hedges
Base scenario improved to €7bn with potential upside
Interest rate1 and deposit beta2 assumptions
EUR
Average base scenario ECB deposit rate (Q2-Q4): 3.4% Average base scenario 5y swap rate (Q2-Q4): 3.0%
Deposit beta² in Germany rising from ~15% in Q1 to average ~35% in Q2-Q4 (→ FY average ~30%)
PLN Increasing deposit beta at largely unchanged rates
Scenario assumptions
Average deposit volume slightly below level of Q1 Slight reduction in PSBC Germany loan volumes
Sensitivity to deposit beta²: change of +/- 1 percentage point of deposit beta in Q2-Q4 leads to ~ -/+ €55m change in NII
1) EUR scenario based on forward rates from end March 2023
2) Deposit beta is the average interest pass-through rate to customers across interest bearing and non-interest bearing deposit products
Active cost management continued
Operating expenses (€m) 1,306 1,321 132 Q1 2022 143 Q1 2023 1,438 1,464 +1.8% / +€26m mBank Group excl. mBank
Compulsory contributions (€m)
Total expenses (€m)
Highlights Q1
Operating expenses benefit from 984 net FTE reduction YoY to 35,971 and decreased administrative expenses but offset by higher accruals for variable compensation due to better performance
Decreasing European bank levy due to lower target volume for 2023 driven by reduced growth for European covered deposits
Lower compulsory contribution and cost management lead to decreasing total expenses
High credit quality maintained: low risk result of -€68m

Highlights Q1
PSBC Germany risk result impacted by €42m TLA increase and single cases mBank's risk result on lower level
CC risk result driven by write backs and TLA net release
NPE ratio remains on low level of 1.1% CoRL of 10bps on a low level in Q1
€483m top level adjustment remains available
Highlights Q1
Increase of TLA in PSBC due to growing uncertainty regarding interest rates, energy prices and inflation requiring minor adjustments of assumptions and TLA relevant sub-portfolio
Decrease of TLA in CC mainly driven by materialized downgrades as well as changes within the portfolio
TLA of O&C unchanged at €9m Remaining €483m TLA available to cover expected secondary effects from supply chains, inflation and higher interest rates in 2023
Operating result driven by good revenues and low LLPs

Highlights Q1
YoY 2% increase of underlying revenues excluding burdens from CHF mortgages (€132m higher YoY) driven by strong NII growth of 43%
Other income reflects provisions for CHF mortgages
NFV driven by effect of higher rates on banking book hedges – offset to higher NII in O&C
Q1 tax rate of 32% – bank levy expenses and provisions for legal risk of CHF mortgages in Poland not tax deductible but partly offset by lower foreign profit taxation
PSBC: customers adjust deposits as rates increase
Loan and securities volumes (Germany)
Deposits (Germany) (€bn | eop)
Highlights Q1
Increase in securities volume by €13.4bn QoQ – thereof ~€10.3bn due to market moves and €3.1bn net new money
German mortgage business stable at €95bn – pickup of mortgage new business in March but well below volumes one year ago Consumer finance book decreased to €3.4bn
QoQ cyclical and seasonal decrease in deposit volume mainly from shifts into securities, higher spending due to inflation and increasing competitive pressure

1) Minor impacts from shifts in Q1 2023 between the customer groups of PC and SBC have not been restated for 2022
Highlights Q1
Increase in underlying revenues in all customer segments drives improvement of operating result Operating result includes -€42m TLA increase
Underlying NII up €114m (23%) YoY benefits from increased interest rates – decrease of -€13m QoQ mainly due to less benefits from early repayment of mortgages following change in internal calculation method
NCI -€28m YoY (-5%) due to lower trading volumes in a less volatile market Net reduction of customer base in Germany by 31k in Q1 – revenue churn still well below expectations

Targets and expectations for 2023 confirmed
| We anticipate NCI on previous year's level and NII around €7bn with further upside potential |
We target total expenses of €6.3bn. However, CIR is key steering metric |
We expect a risk result < €900m assuming usage of TLA |
We expect a CET1 ratio of ~14% |
We aim for a net result well above previous year and we intend to increase the pay out ratio to 50%1 |

German economy to stay weak
After a decline in the fourth quarter of 2022, the German economy stagnated in the first quarter of 2023. Many industrial companies were able to expand their production in view of a lower risk in energy supply and a better supply of intermediate products again. In the energy-intensive sectors, the somewhat lower energy costs also had a positive impact.
On the demand side, private consumption remained weak. The tighter monetary policy slowed down residential construction investments in particular. A positive contribution at the beginning of the year came in particular from higher exports, which also benefited from the diminishing problems in the supply chains.
Due to the sluggish economy, the number of unemployed has risen slightly in recent months. However, this is partly due to the fact that more refugees from Ukraine are officially counted as unemployed.
The inflation rate has fallen from its high of almost 9% last autumn to 7.2% in April. Energy prices, for example, have recently not risen nearly as much as they did a year earlier; in some cases they have even fallen somewhat. However, the core inflation rate excluding energy and food, has continued to rise and stood at just under 6%.
1) Latest development Outlook for 2023/2024
Germany Eurozone
Even though business sentiment has improved in recent months, the economy is likely to remain weak this year and for much of the coming year. This is because the massive interest rate hikes by the ECB and many other central banks will increasingly weigh on the economy. This is especially true for the construction sector, where activity is expected to decline noticeably in the coming quarters. But other investments and demand from abroad are also likely to be slowed down. This should more than offset the relief in energy costs, so that a slight decline in real GDP is even to be feared for the second half of the year. In 2024, too, at best a slight recovery of the economy is to be expected, so that on average the economy is likely to show a slightly negative result in 2022 and stagnation in 2023.
The inflation rate will probably continue to fall in the coming months and reach about 4% at the end of the year. This is because energy prices are likely to be rather lower than a year earlier, also due to government interventions such as price brakes for natural gas and electricity. Food prices are also likely to be close to their peak. Finally, price pressures from higher material costs are also easing. However, underlying inflation will remain well above the ECB's target of 2%, as the next wave of costs will hit companies with the noticeable increase in wages.

Automotive
Portfolio comments / sector outlook
- Economic slowdown with its impact on the demand side have overtaken from supply chain disruptions (Covid / Ukraine-Russia) as a main risk concern. Our forecast of acceptable results for 2023 is gaining traction as the year progresses supported by the still material order backlog, easing supply chain challenges and continued absence of new event risks
- 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 and more and more indications of eroding competitiveness in the EU and particularly Germany is putting pressure on OEMs and suppliers alike
- EaD levels moderated, primarily driven by derivative exposure with OEMs/mega-suppliers due to market movements. 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 affected to varying degrees by various trouble spots
- 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
- Continued delays in transport, unless local sourcing are in place
- Energy prices have less effects on engineering part of machinery but burdening effects on producers. Therefore the manufacturers have started changing their processes to achieve a better energy efficiency
- Prices: even companies that previously had no price escalator clauses were able to renegotiate prices with customers and pass on the increased costs for the most part (enormous importance of mechanical and plant engineering for end customers). For new orders the higher costs are prices into the offer. However, delayed price transfers have partially led to a weakening of the profit margins
Energy / Utilities
Portfolio comments / sector outlook
- Energy sector : as part of the critical infrastructure the utilities 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

1) "Other" sub-portfolio generally includes individual major exposures that carry out business activities in various subsectors and are not allocated to a sub-portfolio. Due to the diversification of these clients, no uniform sector outlook can be given.
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 industry was in 2022 able to pass on increases in material and energy costs to there customers. But 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 already led to a noticeable decline of incoming orders mainly in the private sector but also for infrastructure investments in Germany. An opposite effect is expected for investments for saving energy
- 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 highly affected by the increasing energy and production costs. The possibility to pass through these costs to the customers becomes more and more difficult, although many companies have moved to include a price-sliding clause in their contracts. For 2023 the companies calculate with a lower profitability
- In 2022 we saw and we expect it also for 2023 more rating shifts from investment grade into sub-investment grade. However, the larger companies have broader opportunity to face the current challenges
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 86% 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 margin are temporarily weaken
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-crisis. 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 the next years (usually until 2024) to mitigate the bulk of the energy price risk. However some groups (especially aluminium and steel production) have cut production 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 might come to an end in 2023. 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

- Portfolio guidelines and observations for PD, LtCV and repayment rates are continuously monitored
- Average "Beleihungsauslauf" (BLA) in new business of 79.3% in Q1 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

- In March 2023, S&P upgraded Commerzbank's issuer credit rating (= preferred senior rating) by 1 notch to "A-" with stable outlook
- Rating action was driven by a strong loss-absorbing buffer providing further protection for senior creditors in a hypothetical resolution scenario
- So-called additional loss absorbing capacity (ALAC) exceeded the S&P model-theoretically relevant threshold of 6%. As a result, an uplift of 2 notches (previously 1 notch) to the stand-alone rating "bbb" is now achieved
- S&P expects Commerzbank to be able to maintain the threshold of above 6% over the next few years
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 remained unchanged YtD at Q1 2023, the lower IR component therein being compensated by a higher CS component. The present-valued pension obligations (DBO) therefore decreased only slightly mainly due to a lower USD discount rate, which correspondingly produced a small valuation gain in OCI
Due to several basis risks working in the right direction the market movement in Q1 2023 produced a modest increase in the market value of plan assets and, correspondingly, a modest valuation gain in OCI
In total the liability gain and the asset gain lead to a YtD OCI effect of +€118m (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 109% 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
Nearly no impact on CET1 ratio1 from the decreasing effect of currency translation reserve as it is mostly offset by lower FX driven credit risk RWA
Decrease in credit risk RWA from FX effects mainly due to weaker USD (-€356m) and RUB (-€103m) partly compensated by GBP (+€58m) and PLN (+€28m)
Lower currency translation reserve mainly due to decrease from USD (-€56m) and RUB (-€18m) slightly compensated by PLN (+€6m) and GBP (+€4m)

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 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.
