Further decrease in RWA

  • › Decrease in Credit Risk benefits from changes of FX-rates particular USD and GBP (€2.2bn)
  • › Relieving effects on Credit Risk from new securitization (€1.1bn)
  • › Slight increase in Market Risk and Operational Risk at Group level

CET1 ratio fully phased-in with 12.0% stable at high level

Highlights

  • › Net decrease in actuarial gains and losses of €-250m (-13bps CET1 ratio) due to lower discount rates on the back of the ongoing low interest rate environment
  • › Slight reduction of currency translation reserve (€-86m) due to stronger Euro
  • › Consistent dividend accrual of 5ct per share

Note: Numbers may not add up due to rounding 1)

Includes Q1 2016 net result excl. dividend accrual 2) Includes mainly IRB shortfall, DTA, DVA, minorities and prudential valuation

Outlook 2016 in an overall challenging environment

We pursue our strategy to increase market shares and further intensify our efforts to mitigate the negative interest rate environment

We aim to keep our cost base stable with exception of additional external burdens

We expect a moderate increase in loan loss provisions due to lower releases from impaired loans

Due to the slow start into 2016, it will be more challenging to reach the net profit posted in 2015

Appendix

German economy 2016/2017 – stronger Q1 2016 growth not sustainable

Current development

  • › Growth probably accelerated in Q1 however, higher speed will not prove sustainable, as sentiment indicators are pointing to ongoing moderate growth
  • › Main driver of the recovery is still private consumption helped also by the lower oil price − exports have slowed down as the world economy has lost steam
  • › Labor market has improved further
  • › Refugees still the main topic of German politics − economic effects remain uncertain

DAX (avg. p.a.)

Our expectation for 2016/2017

  • › Recovery will continue as the lower oil price and the additional expenses for refugees will spur up domestic demand
  • › However, headwinds from the EM and the recently stronger Euro are a burden for exports. In addition, shrinking profit margins of firms are hindering a significant increase of investment
  • › Therefore we do not expect accelerating growth rates for the time being resulting in sub-consensus growth forecasts of 1.3% for 2016 and 2017

Euribor (avg. p.a. in %)

Mounting headwinds from EM

  • › 40% of German exports go to EM, of which 6%pts to China
  • › EM suffer from increased levels of private sector debt, …
  • › ... high current account deficits, …
  • › ... imminent US interest rate hike
  • › Commodity exporting EM are hit by lower commodity prices, particularly oil prices

Glossary - Capital Allocation / RoE, RoTE & RoCET1 Calculation


Amount of average capital allocated to business segments is calculated by multiplying the segments current
YTD average Basel 3 RWA (fully phased-in) (PC €23.0bn, MSB €73.8bn, CEE €15.0bn, C&M €33.2bn, O&C
€31.2bn, ACR €21.9bn) by a ratio of 11% and 15% for ACR respectively
-
reflecting current regulatory and
market standard –
figures for 2015 have been restated

Capital Allocation

  • › Excess capital reconciling to Group CET1 Basel 3 fully phased-in is allocated to Others & Consolidation
  • › Capital allocation is disclosed in the business segment reporting of Commerzbank Group
  • › For the purposes of calculating the segmental RoTE, average regulatory capital deductions Basel 3 fully phased-in (excluding Goodwill and other intangibles) are allocated to the business segments additionally (PC €0.1bn, MSB €0.4bn, C&M €0.8bn, O&C €2.3bn, ACR €0.4bn)

RoE, RoTE & RoCET1 Calculation

  • › RoE is calculated on an average level of IFRS capital on Group level and on an average level of 11% (and 15% for ACR respectively) of the RWAs Basel 3 fully phased-in on segmental level
  • › RoTE is calculated on an average level of IFRS capital after deduction of goodwill and other 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 (excluding goodwill and other intangible assets) on segmental level
  • › RoTE calculation represents the current market standard
  • › RoCET1 is calculated on average B3 CET1 capital fully phased-in

Investor Relations

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 de faults of borrowers or trading counterparties, the implementation of its strategic initiatives and the reliability of its risk manageme nt 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.
