  • › Small Business Customers revenues impacted by lower usage of committed credit lines and lower contributions from modelled deposits
  • › comdirect revenues driven by strong securities business legal merger with Commerzbank AG expected in early Q4
  • › mBank revenues affected by lower Polish interest rates and €42m addition to legal reserves for FX loan portfolio

Corporate Clients: Corona driven drawing of committed credit lines peaked in Q2

  • › Drawing of lines by corporates peaked in the middle of the quarter subsequently gradual reduction
  • › Gradual reduction of drawn lines as Government support reaches corporates and economy starts to reopen from shutdown

Corporate Clients: stable underlying revenues – risk result drives operating loss

Objectives and expectations for 2020 – assuming continued recovery

We expect a risk result in a range of -€1.3bn to -€1.5bn We continue our cost management and target a cost base including IT investments slightly below the level of last year We expect largely stable customer revenues in PSBC – CC more strongly impacted by Corona We target a CET1 ratio ≥ 12.5% in line with lowered regulatory requirements Base case assumptions Objectives and expectations for FY 2020 No second lockdown Continuing step-bystep improvement in economic activity Government support programs effective 2 3 We anticipate a negative net result in light of the expected risk result and potential restructuring charges

German economy 2020 – a body blow from the Corona virus

Current After an encouraging start into the year 2020, the spreading of the Corona
virus and the measures aimed at containing the outbreak resulted in a slump
of economic activity.
As a consequence, German real GDP shrank by 2.0%
QoQ
in Q1 and by 10.1% in Q2.
DAX
(avg. p.a.)
12,431 12,272 12,103
development Since May the German economy has recovered a significant part of the losses
it suffered in March and April. However, at the end of June economic activity
was still significantly lower than before the Corona crisis.
10,957 10,196 11,600
Almost all parts of the German economy are affected by this slump, albeit at a
different degree. One of the less affected sectors is probably construction,
while big parts of the service sector, which had
been the mainstay of the
German economy until the outbreak of the virus, have been hit very hard.
2015
Euribor
2016
(avg. p.a. %)
2017 2018 2019 2020e
The crisis has significantly affected the labour market. Only the massive use
of state-subsidised short-time employment has prevented a massive increase
in official unemployment. In May, almost 7 million workers were participating
in this scheme. Nevertheless, recently the seasonal adjusted number of
officially unemployed people reached a 5-year-high.
-0.02 -0.26 -0.32 -0.32 -0.36 -0.40
After the fast rebound since the end of April the recovery will probably slow
down in the course of the summer as the virus is still hampering economic
activity. Nevertheless, real GDP will increase significantly quarter-on-quarter
in Q3.

Our
expectation
for 2020

As after previous recessions, it will take time until German real
GDP reaches
its pre-crisis level again. An additional brake for growth is the recent strong
increase in business debt. After the crisis firms will try to reduce their debt
burden by postponing investment and cutting their workforce.
We expect
the German economy to shrink by 5.5% in 2020, followed by a

Retail with winners and losers in the Corona crisis – share of 1.5% of overall portfolio

  • › Overall stable sector due to high proportion of food retailing and drugstores (food retailing with 10-15% non food revenues). Top 10 borrower units represent 57% of sector EaD
  • › Retail industry: fierce predatory competition in all segments by price and investments in shop modernization
  • › In crisis: food retailing winner due to stay-at-home effect and shut down of competitors in non food. Fashion: most severely affected
  • › After crisis: Home Improvement/Furniture/DIY: expected to benefit from "cocooning-impact" and shift in consumer preferences
  • › Corona liquidity support: 166 applications, thereof 110 approved, 25 in processing, 15 rejected and 16 recalled
  • › Our consistent strategy of customer selection and support of sustainable business models only over the past years pays off during the current crisis

Travel related industries are strongly affected by the Corona crisis – share of only 0.9% of overall portfolio

  • › € 2.4bn airlines portfolio consists of €1.8bn secured aircraft financing and €0.6bn corporate exposure
  • › Cruise liners (€0.9bn) mostly ECA covered. ECA has provided loan deferral options ("cruise debt holiday of principle") to protect liquidity
  • › For hotel portfolio (€0.6bn) recovery on a low level expected starting in Q3/2020. The grow will be slow. Portfolio consists of €0.3bn asset based financing (only hotels in Germany) and corporate financing (Europewide)
  • › Tour operators (€0.5bn): Mix of state support and use of KfW programs
  • › Approximately 52% of the portfolio with investment grade ratings (previous quarter 83%; decrease because of shifts to sub investment grade e.g. cruise liners / tour operators and airlines)

Oil/gas exposure stands for less than 1% of total exposure – approximately 80% investment grade

  • › More than 60% of the exposure to integrated oil & gas majors and Tier II operators with strong balance sheets. Leverage overall better than 2015/16 across these groups – when oil price was last < USD 30/bbl
  • › Commodity trader exposure concentrated to world's top independent energy traders with strong liquidity profiles and benefiting from "flight to quality"
  • › Approximately 80% of the overall portfolio equivalent to investment grade
  • › High ability to react more than 55% of the exposure with maturities below 1 year
  • › No exposure to single asset operations
  • › No shale producers
  • › No project finance

  • › Vintages of recent years developed more favourably so far and NPEs remain at a low level
  • › Due to risk-oriented selection very low RD
  • › As a consequence of low interest rates, repayment rates remain on a very high level
  • › Average "Beleihungsauslauf" (BLA) in new business of 78% in Q2 2020. German BLA is more conservative than the internationally used LtV definition due to the application of the strict German Pfandbrief law

Risk parameters on very good level, loan decisions remain conservative

As a leading German provider of renewable energy project finance it is our objective to become Germany's most sustainable commercial bank

Key figures Commerzbank share

Loan and deposit development

  • › Loan growth in Private and Small Business Customers driven by residential mortgage business and investment loans in Germany – Corona driven increase in deposit base
  • › Higher loan volumes in International Corporates offset by Mittelstand and Institutionals
  • › Deposit volumes in CC at previous year's levels with increases in International Corporates and Mittelstand

Significant NII potential in scenario of rising interest rates

  • › Year 1 effect of ~€550-600m driven by short-end rates due to large stock of overnight (excess) deposits

Disclaimer

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.
