Revenues

(€m)

Q1 Revenues up 4% QoQ and 12% YoY

Net interest income (NII) 3% lower YoY in line with development of interest rates partially offset by volumes

Net commission income (NCI) up 6.4% YoY mainly due to better securities business in PSBC Germany

Net fair value result (NFV) up YoY mainly due to offset to NII at lower rates

Other income excluding provisions for FX loans up mainly due to better hedge result

Growth of net commission income in line with target

Net commission income driven by securities business

Net commission income Corporate Clients

Corporate Clients

Trade finance YoY stable despite sluggish German economy and pressure on export business

In Capital Markets YoY stronger FX business compensating lower bond syndication activity

Private and Small-Business Customers Germany

YoY increased commission income due to volume growth in securities, especially in wealth management products and higher transaction volumes

Asset management up YoY benefitting from favourable market developments and good inflows in asset management products in Q1

NII holding up well at lower ECB rates

Loan growth in CC – PSBC stable

Loan volume (Group ex mBank)

(Quarterly average in €bn)

Deposit volume (Group ex mBank)

CC PSBC Germany

PSBC sight PSBC term/call/ saving

In CC €1.2bn loan volume growth in Mittelstand and Institutionals, volumes in International Corporates decreased due to FX effects

German residential mortgage business slightly up by €0.6bn. Other loans including consumer finance on level of previous quarters

In CC term/call deposit volumes decreased from peak in Q4 24 mainly due to reduction of rate sensitive deposits with low margins at lower rates

In PSBC term/call deposit volumes decreased due to conversion to investment products. Additionally, reduction of some rate sensitive deposits in a more competitive market

Sight deposits are slightly lower mainly due to seasonal effects

Beta at 38% with pricing adjustment on call deposits

NII outlook ~€7.8bn – tailwind from replication portfolio

Expected development of NII

1) Deposit beta is the average interest pass-through rate to customers across interest-bearing and non-interest-bearing deposit products based on ECB deposit rate

2) Change in net fair value result due to assumed changes in interest rate levels in EUR and PLN at current positioning

Costs in line with CIR target

Costs

(€m)

Operating expenses Compulsory contributions

Operating expenses for Group ex mBank are up YoY mainly because of general salary increases, acquisition of Aquila Capital and investments in junior staff as well as higher accruals for equitybased variable compensation. This was partially offset by realised cost savings due to FTE reduction in Germany and ongoing shoring activities

Operating expenses for mBank rose as a result of investments in business growth and FX effects

Increasing contribution to Polish Resolution Fund and re-introduced deposit guarantee scheme after no contribution in 2024

No contribution for Group ex mBank for European bank levy due to suspended contribution to Single Resolution Fund as target volume has been reached

Risk result in line with expectations

Risk result (€m)

TLA reassessment leads to a reduction of €45m. Remaining €182m TLA mainly available to cover expected secondary effects from geopolitical crises and uncertainties from inflation

Overall, very solid portfolio in a challenging environment

Cost of risk at 17bp and NPE-ratio at 1.0%

Based on muted economic outlook unchanged expectation of a 2025 risk result of ~€850m assuming usage of TLA

YoY growth across all client groups in financial markets, primarily the FX business, compared to an already strong Q1 24

Growth of lending revenues with International Corporates and Institutionals cannot completely offset the effects of substantially lower interest rates on deposits, which was especially pronounced in Mittelstand

Revenues from Structured Solutions and Investments (SSI) transferred from O&C booked in Others (Q1 €67m) and in Institutionals (Q1 €14m)

€16.4bn of Q1 RWA attributable to transferred SSI business – thereof €5bn from legacy assets

1) As of Q1 2025, change in the calculation of the operating return on equity: the percentage by which the segments' equity is determined by applying it to the respective RWA, has been increased from 12.7% to 13.5%, in line with the CET1 ratio target

So far ~€2.4bn already paid out for court cases and settlements for the FX mortgage portfolio – almost exclusively for CHF loans

The total number of pending lawsuits declined by -40% YoY to <13k, mainly driven by settlements with customers. The number of new CHF court cases dropped by -60% YoY to 0.8k in Q1 25

Q1 25 with lowest provisions for FX loans since 2022. In FY 2025 burden from FX loans is expected below 2024 level

Restatement: sales margins from FX business are now included in NCI – previously reported under NFV

German economy to stage only modest recovery

Latest development

Real GDP in Germany rose slightly again in the first quarter after having fallen by a similar amount in the fourth quarter. The main factors behind the increase at the beginning of the year were consumption expenditure and capital formation.

The slight contraction of the German economy in the past two years is increasingly affecting the labor market. The number of people in employment has not risen for some time, and the number of unemployed is gradually increasing. However, unemployment remains significantly lower than it has been for most of the past 40 years.

The latest developments in sentiment indicators offer at least some hope for an imminent turnaround. Despite higher US tariffs, the Ifo business climate index rose for the fourth month in a row in April, and the composite purchasing managers' index for industry and services remained close to the 50 mark despite a decline in April, signaling at least a stabilisation of the economy.

The inflation rate has continued its downward trend and, at 2.1% in April, was only slightly above the ECB's target. The core inflation rate, which excludes the often highly volatile energy and food prices, was still higher at 2.9%.

Outlook for 2025

The recent slight improvement in business sentiment gives hope that the German economy will pick up over the course of this year. This is also supported by the fact that the burden of interest rates is gradually easing, and the ECB's rate cuts should become increasingly noticeable. In addition, rising real wages are likely to boost private consumption.

However, a strong upturn is not to be expected. This is because numerous structural problems are holding back the German economy. In addition, higher US tariffs are making it more difficult for German companies to access their most important export market. On the other hand, the recent easing of the debt brake is unlikely to have a significant effect until next year.

The inflation rate is likely to fall slightly in the coming months and remain close to the ECB's target of 2%. Core inflation is also likely to fall further but to remain slightly above 2%. This is because, despite the weak economy, companies will continue to pass on at least part of the increase in their wage costs to their customers.

Since June, the ECB has already lowered its key interest rate, the deposit rate, from 4.0% to 2.25%. Due in particular to the continuing weakness of the economy for the time being, it is likely to lower the deposit rate to 1.75% by the fall.

Group exposure net of ECA and cash held at Commerzbank reduced to €43m

Additionally, Eurasija holds domestic RUB deposits of equivalent ~€0.4bn at Russian financial institutions, mainly Central Bank of Russia

We continue to reduce exposures while supporting existing clients in compliance with all sanctions' regulations

Stable coverage with risk provisions

Increase in stage 1 exposure mainly driven by central bank exposures

Higher risk provisions in stage 3 in line with increased exposure

Overall level of TLA at €182m

TLA increases the effective coverage of our credit portfolio mainly in stage 2

1) Exposure at Default relevant for IFRS 9 accounting (on- and off-balance exposures in the accounting categories AC and FVOCI)

2) Note: TLA is not assigned to stages, hence it is not included in the coverage ratios

Exposure1

Group's corporates portfolio well diversified

Corporates portfolio by sector

EaD: Exposure at Default | EL: Expected Loss | RD: Risk density = EL/EaD, RWA = Risk Weighted Assets

Overall performing portfolio (stage 1 and 2)

Corporates portfolio of ~€133bn stands for 23% of overall Group exposure. Portfolio size decreased compared to previous quarter almost completely due to reduction in others (CRE is now shown separately)

Overall, still stable portfolio development that is closely monitored

Details on selected sectors

Automotive: Industry continues to be challenging due to sector specifics, such as transformation requirements, inefficient cost structures and increasing Chinese competition. Furthermore, the currently implied US tariffs are a significant disrupting factor, to which the entire automotive industry, its suppliers and customers will have to adapt to

Chemicals/Plastics: MNC and large medium-sized corporates are predominantly well diversified and reasonably profitable; business models are sustainable and resilient. SMEs with less financial strength currently suffer from China exports and the related dumping prices

Construction/Metal: Construction/Metal portfolio is broadly diversified. Weaker demand in the housing and automotive sectors is increasingly burdening small and medium-sized companies

The high risk density (RD) of Consumption and Transport/Tourism/Services is mainly driven by two single exposures within the responsibility of Intensive Care

In CC, further increase of loan volumes in Mittelstand and Institutionals, volumes in International Corporates decreased due to FX effects. Deposit volumes decreased due to reduction of rate sensitive deposits at lower rates

In PSBC Germany loan volume for residential mortgages slightly up, deposit volumes decreased due to conversion to investment products and outflow of some rate sensitive deposits

mBank's increase in deposit volumes is due to FX effect as well as higher deposits in Retail Banking. Slight increase in loan volume driven by FX effect

IAS 19: Development of pension obligations

Cumulated actuarial gains and losses (€m)

Cumulated OCI effect1 Pension obligations (gross)

Discount rate in %2

Market yields went noticeably up in Q1 2025, moving the IAS19 discount rate to 4.3% at the end of Q1 versus 3.8% at year-start. This induced a decrease in present-valued pension obligations (DBO), producing a comfortable YtD liability gain in OCI

On the same market movement, pension assets produced a moderate YtD asset loss in OCI, mainly through losses on the LDI-hedges and slightly through equity losses

In total, pension obligations and pension assets produced a YtD net OCI gain of +€107m (after tax) on Group level

The discount rate is derived from an AA-rated government bond basket, re-calibrated on corporate bond level, with an average duration of roughly 12 years

The funding ratio (plan assets vs. pension obligations) is 111% 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 German pension obligations (represent 96% of Group pension obligations)

09 May 2025 Commerzbank, Frankfurt 54

FX impact on CET1 ratio

QoQ change in FX capital position

Positive impact on CET 1 ratio1 due to decreasing effect of lower FX driven credit risk RWA, while currency translation reserve remains nearly unchanged

Decrease in credit risk RWA from FX effects mainly due to weaker USD (-€731m) and GBP (-€40m), partly offset by stronger PLN (+€347m) and RUB (+€156m)

Nearly unchanged currency translation reserve mainly due to decrease from USD (-€97m) and GBP (-€9m) mostly offset by PLN (+€63m) and RUB (+€40m)

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.
