Global economy

Economic growth (in %)1	Jun 30, 2023	Dec 31, 20224	Main driver
Global Economy2	3.0	3.3	In the first half of 2023, the global economy lost momentum. Although inflation seems to have peaked, high price levels continued to weigh on demand from private households. Tighter monetary policy has also slowed down the global economy; the war in Ukraine continued to disrupt key commodity markets and supply chains
Of which:
Developed countries	2.3	2.7	The developed countries presented a mixed picture in the first half of 2023. The economies of the U.S. and Japan were robust. By contrast, the economies in Europe were significantly weaker in some cases. Despite easing of price pressures, inflation rates were still well above the central banks' targets
Emerging markets	3.4	3.7	Inflation is also likely to have peaked in the emerging markets. The slowdown in China’s growth momentum had a dampening effect on the recovery of the economies in the Asian emerging markets. Central banks in Latin America remained focused on inflation risks. In Eastern Europe, the weak demand from the developed countries was a headwind
Eurozone Economy3	0.3	3.3	The Eurozone marked a weak start to 2023, with little sign of recovery by mid-year. Elevated inflation continued to curb the purchasing power of private households and tight labor markets added to inflation persistence. The European Central Bank responded to the inflationary pressures with further interest rate hikes
Of which: Germany Economy	(0.2)	1.8	The German economy slipped into a slight recession during the past winter. The subsequent recovery was weak until the middle of 2023. Private consumption continued to suffer from still high inflation. Production in energy-intensive manufacturing sectors was particularly subdued. By contrast, positive impulse came from services
U.S. Economy3	2.4	2.1	Despite the U.S. Federal Reserve's already implemented interest rate hikes, the economy remained robust in the first half of 2023. Private households are likely to have consumed a large part of their excess savings. Inflation has passed its peak but remained sticky. The labor market has shown little weakness so far
Japanese Economy3	0.9	1.0	Japan's economy recovered in the first half of 2023. Despite higher inflation, private consumption was robust, as households were able to draw on additional savings built up during the pandemic. The Bank of Japan maintained its accommodating monetary policy despite increased inflation
Asia Economy3,5	6.4	4.1	The Asian economies benefited from a rebound in travel-related services, particularly following the lifting of China's COVID-19 restrictions but also in other countries. However, due to slower growth, particularly in the developed countries, exports developed weaker, which dampened economic momentum
Of which: Chinese Economy	6.3	3.0	Following the removal of the COVID-19 restrictions, the Chinese economy got off to a strong start to 2023. However, the recovery lost momentum during the first half of 2023. As the economic recovery was mainly focused on the domestic economy, the impulse for the global economy was rather weak

¹Annual Real GDP Growth (% YoY). Sources: National Authorities unless stated otherwise

²The Global Economy growth rates are only available on an annual basis, hence full year forecasts for 2023 were used for half year numbers

³Quarterly Real GDP Growth (% YoY) Sources: Deutsche Bank Research. The half yearly numbers are not available, hence quarterly growth rates were used as indicative growth percentage

⁴Some economic data for 2022 was revised by public statistics authorities. As a result, this data may differ from previously published

	Jun 30, 2023
Growth year-over-year (in %)	CorporateLending	RetailLending	CorporateDeposits	RetailDeposits	Main driver
Eurozone1	3.0	1.7	0.6	1.6	After years of strong growth, lending and deposit dynamics with the private sector have materially slowed, with volumes being flat in many instances over recent months. Higher interest rates and a weaker macroeconomic-outlook impacted both firms’ investment spendings and retail mortgages. Inflation affected households’ purchasing power and thus impacted deposit growth momentum. For corporates, liquidity buffers remained robust though
Of which: Germany1	7.4	2.5	4.2	1.8	Corporate lending has slowed but remained substantially stronger than in the Eurozone as a whole, presumably due to the greater impact of the energy crisis and the repercussions of the light recession. Mortgage growth has come down to the lowest level in eight years due to a decrease in new business, while other retail loans continued to stagnate. The rate of expansion in household deposits stabilized at a low level in recent months, and corporate deposits grew at the slowest pace since the beginning of the pandemic
US	5.8	6.5	(3.9)2	(3.9)2	Corporate loans were still significantly up on a year-over-year basis but primarily due to the strong growth until the beginning of 2023. Retail lending remained slightly more robust, even though it is also down from double digits. Total deposits were increasingly contracting, partly as a result of the high inflation. The decline contributed to market tensions in March 2023 which afterwards decreased.
China1	15.8	7.2	5.5	17.1	Despite the subdued economic recovery from the pandemic, corporate lending has accelerated in recent months, while retail lending remained weak compared to historical standards. The outperformance of corporate versus retail lending is a reversal of market trends that have essentially been in place since the financial crisis. Deposit showed the opposite trend: inflows from households have risen meaningfully over the past year, whereas corporate deposits continued to expand only moderately

The Origination & Advisory industry fee pool was down 23% year on year in the first half of 2023, in turn 28% lower than the record fee pool of the first half of 2021. There are three key drivers of the subdued Origination & Advisory market. The first factor is cost and availability of credit. Despite the appearance of a more conducive market on lower volatility, lower inflation and easing of spreads, credit is expensive as interest rates remain high, and banks are cautious about lending. This has the impact of forcing corporations and private equity to pause strategic activity, which also lowers acquisition financing activity. The second factor is confidence in the marketplace. As demonstrated in the past, improved equity markets and lower volatility do not immediately drive equity capital markets issuance. The continued threat of a U.S. recession also adds to the uncertainty. The third factor is the decline of activity in the technology sector. This market had a fee pool of € 25 billion in 2021, remained strong in the first half of 2022, and then dropped sharply as market conditions worsened and Silicon Valley Bank collapsed. This double-year decline in fee pools follows the pattern from past downturns, with similar declines in 2008/2009 and in 2001/2002. However, in both of these cases the industry recovered in the following year. Similarly, the bank’s assessment is that Fixed Income, Currency, Sales & Trading (FIC) revenue pools have also decreased year on year. 2022 saw heightened levels of volatility and market activity driven primarily by global inflationary concerns and subsequent monetary policy reaction plus impacts from the war in Ukraine. While the first quarter of 2023 continued to see significant activity, exacerbated by the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and takeover of Credit Suisse, the second quarter has been more benign, with markets pausing post the extreme conditions of the first quarter and concern around the U.S. debt ceiling deadline leading to limited activity and a largely risk off environment. This has been seen across ten of the most traded currencies globally, rates, emerging markets and commodities. In contrast, the credit flow business has seen a more improved environment with a general trend of spreads tightening during the first half of 2023, with the exception of a brief period in March. Financing products have maintained the momentum from a generally strong 2022, with ongoing client demand.

Strategy

The following section provides an update on the progress of Deutsche Bank’s strategy implementation in the second quarter of 2023 and should be read in conjunction with the Strategy section provided in the Annual Report 2022.

Global Hausbank

In March 2022, the Group outlined its strategic and financial roadmap through 2025, which aims to position Deutsche Bank as a Global Hausbank and communicated Deutsche Bank’s 2025 financial targets and capital objectives. The Global Hausbank strategy is underpinned by three key themes: risk management, sustainability, and technology, which have become even more important in light of the ongoing geopolitical and macro-economic challenges. In this environment, Deutsche Bank aims to leverage a more favorable interest rate environment, deploy risk management expertise to support clients, and allocate capital to high-return growth opportunities. As sustainability becomes ever more important, the bank aims to deepen its dialogue with and support for clients and broaden the agenda in respect of the bank’s own operations. As technology continues to evolve, the bank aims to reap further cost savings, accelerate the transition to a digital bank and expand upon strategic partnerships, which are already creating substantial value.

Deutsche Bank’s key performance indicators 2025

Financial targets:

• – Post-tax Return on Average Tangible Shareholders Equity of above 10% for the Group
• – Compounded annual growth rate of revenues of 3.5% to 4.5%
• – Cost/income ratio of less than 62.5%

Capital objectives:

• – Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio of approximately 13%
• – 50% Total payout ratio from 2025

Deutsche Bank reaffirms its financial targets and capital objectives for 2025.

Our financial and regulatory targets are based on our financial results prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and endorsed by the European Union (“EU”). For further details, please refer to the section ‘Basis of preparation/impact of changes in accounting principles’ in this report.

Post-tax Return on Average Tangible Equity is a non-GAAP financial measure. Please refer to “Non-GAAP financial measures” of this report for the definitions of such measures and reconciliations to the IFRS measures on which they are based.

Progress on strategy implementation

In the second quarter of 2023, Deutsche Bank made further progress and continued on its path to achieve the Global Hausbank strategy. The Group aims to accelerate the execution of the Global Hausbank strategy through the delivery of targeted measures on three dimensions: operational efficiency, capital efficiency, and revenue growth.

Deutsche Bank raised its ambition for incremental efficiencies through targeted efficiency measures from € 2 billion to a total of € 2.5 billion in April 2023. These measures have delivered more than € 600 million of savings to date, primarily through branch closures, standardizing loan processing and other measures. The integration of Deutsche Bank and Postbank information technology platforms in Germany through project Unity is intended to be the foundation for future digitalization efforts and will make significant contributions to cost saving efforts, delivering anticipated savings of € 300 million from 2025. Furthermore, the bank made progress on reductions in non-client facing staff, with around 80% of the targeted number of employees having been informed or having left the platform, with anticipated savings of over € 100 million once fully complete. A number of additional measures have been identified including streamlining the bank’s mortgage business.

Deutsche Bank

Interim Report as of June 30, 2023

Deutsche Bank confirms its ambition to reduce risk weighted assets (RWA) by € 15 to 20 billion through 2025 versus prior expectations. Risk weighted assets (RWA) were already reduced in the second quarter of 2023, despite revenue strength, reflecting disciplined capital deployment by the bank’s businesses and anticipating upcoming model changes. Also, the securitizations completed in in the second quarter of 2023 have delivered some RWA relief. Additional infrastructure measures are currently in preparation.

The Group is working to outperform its revenue growth targets announced in 2022. These ambitions have been supported by the growth momentum off a strong franchise in the second quarter of 2023. Deutsche Bank believes that a well-balanced, complementary business mix enables the bank to drive continued revenue momentum in line with the bank’s Global Hausbank strategy. In the second quarter of 2023, Deutsche Bank announced that it reached an agreement on an all-cash offer for the acquisition of Numis Corporation Plc. The transaction is intended to allow Deutsche Bank to accelerate its Global Hausbank strategy by unlocking a much deeper engagement with the corporate client segment in the United Kingdom. The bank expects the transaction to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2023, subject to certain conditions. By issuing the "Lufthansa Miles & More Credit Card" from mid-2025, Deutsche Bank will continue to advance its cash management business.

The progress made has also been acknowledged by rating agencies through three positive moves on the bank’s credit ratings in the second quarter of 2023. DBRS Morningstar upgraded all Deutsche Bank’s long-term ratings by one notch. Fitch has upgraded the bank’s ratings and S&P raised its outlook on the bank to Positive.

The Group continued to invest not only in its platforms but also to take advantage of opportunities created by the current market conditions and developments in Europe and Asia Pacific. The focus is on attracting talent globally to strengthen advisory capabilities. Leveraging the bank’s deep expertise in both markets, the bank supported the first Hong Kong conglomerate Panda-bond in China. Moreover, the bank is looking actively into the opportunities that are expected to emerge from artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. Benefits are also expected from AI in operations and process automation. One of the latest examples is the recent edition of the Technology, Data & Innovation (TDI) Showcase series which provided insights into how the new “Large Dataset Archiving” solution was developed leveraging Google Cloud.

Sustainability

Sustainability continued to be at the top of the agenda in the second quarter of 2023. The bank was recognized as “Best Bank for ESG 2023” for its Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)-related trade and supply chain finance programs at “Global Trade Review Leaders in Trade awards”. In addition, Deutsche Bank acted as joint ESG coordinator on the State of Hesse’s € 1 billion 10-year green benchmark, a transaction which marks the largest green bond issuance by a German State to date.

Deutsche Bank acted as coordinating lead arranger and joint bookrunner in the closure of an up to U.S.$ 800 million new revolving credit facility to support the expansion of Intersect Power LLC’s clean energy platform. Also, the bank contributed to conserving marine biodiversity with the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) environmental program “How We Live” and funded community conservation projects in several countries in Asia Pacific by partnering with The Nature Conservancy. Moreover, Deutsche Bank announced the usage of payment cards made from recycled plastic in Germany starting from mid-2023.

Furthermore, Deutsche Bank published a White Paper on carbon footprint linked to the EU residential real estate sector, as well as updated its Environmental & Social Policy Framework. The bank also established a Real Estate Sustainability Council to oversee targets and achievements for its own operations. Finally, the Group has been deepening its engagement in industry coalitions and initiatives, e.g., CEO assumed a role in the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ) Principals Group.

Deutsche Bank Businesses

This section should be read in conjunction with the section Deutsche Bank: Deutsche Bank’s Organization in the Operating and Financial Review in the Annual Report 2022.

Corporate Bank

In the second quarter of 2023, Corporate Bank continued to make progress on the business segment’s strategic objectives, leveraging the segment’s strong brand and deep client relationships and aiming to offer a full range of advisory and financing solutions for corporate treasurers. The Banking Survey 2023 published by the German magazine FINANCE named Deutsche Bank as “Best bank in corporate banking”. Building on its standing as the leading Corporate Bank in its home market, the Corporate Bank aims to remain the trusted partner for the German economy. The segment is also committed to connecting financial institutions worldwide, a business where the bank is one of the market leaders. Corporate Bank’s initiatives target revenue growth with corporate clients across cash management and payments, including strengthening its fee-based business. In addition, the bank intends to further expand of its digital offerings. Consequently, Deutsche Bank applied to the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) to obtain a license for the custody of digital assets. The approval process is expected to take about ten to twelve months. As Corporate Bank seeks to grow its business with clients globally, the segment committed to applying sound risk management principles to maintain its high-quality loan portfolio and strict lending standards. Equally, the segment saw further potential to reduce its cost base from technology and front-to-back process optimization, as well as automation and location strategy. The Corporate Bank’s ambition is also to become a leader in ESG and drive the transition to a sustainable economy by supporting its corporate clients globally. ESG offerings will be an integral part of its approach. Additionally, the Corporate Bank expects investments into new products enabling new business models of the real economy, like merchant solutions, to contribute to future sustainable growth.

Investment Bank

In the second quarter of 2023, the Investment Bank continued to execute against the business segment’s strategic priorities, delivering robust business performance. Within Fixed Income and Currencies, whilst business revenues were lower year on year, this was against an exceptionally strong prior year quarter. The Financing franchise continues to focus on targeted and disciplined balance sheet deployment, delivering higher quarterly revenues year-on-year, with ongoing strong client demand. Credit Trading revenues were higher compared to the prior year for both the quarter and year to date, with materially improved performance in the flow business, which has benefitted from investment into coverage and product teams. The focused evolution of the Emerging Markets business is continuing, delivering revenue performance well above the historical average. Origination & Advisory revenues increased year on year, though the industry recovery is slower than expected. However, the segment continues to assess selected focus areas of growth and targeted investment within Mergers & Acquisitions, with an aim to ensure the business is well placed to take advantage when the cycle turns. The current quarter performance also reflected a partial recovery in market share for the Debt Origination business. Investment Bank’s focus on delivering front-to-back efficiency continues, with various programs in place to enhance client interaction, from the price discovery through to settlement. During the quarter the segment was awarded “best new algorithm” and “best liquidity provider for forwards/swaps” at the recent FX Markets awards. ESG continued to be a strategic focus area for the Investment Bank. During the quarter, Deutsche Bank acted as Joint ESG coordinator on the State of Hesse’s € 1 billion 10-year green benchmark. This green transaction marked the largest green bond issuance by a German State up to this point.

Private Bank

Private Bank Germany upheld its momentum in the second quarter of 2023 with strong revenue growth compared to the prior year. In particular, rising deposit revenues contributed to this trend. Growth in assets under management was fostered by net inflows of investment products. Furthermore, Private Bank Germany’s deposit campaigns attracted new customers across both Deutsche Bank and Postbank brands. On strategic initiatives, Private Bank Germany continued the transformation of its go-to-market model as planned, with 28 branch closures implemented in the second quarter of 2023. Additionally, Private Bank Germany is in discussion with the worker’s council to further streamline the mortgage business to adjust to the new mortgage market environment and to further optimize the service model in our branches. As part of Private Bank Germany’s digitalization roadmap, a new fully automated consumer finance process was introduced across all channels. Deutsche Bank also successfully completed the main phase of one of the largest IT migration projects in European banking, its project Unity. With the final customer migration in July 2023, a total of 12 million customers with 19 million contracts will have migrated to the unified platform, which will allow for considerable infrastructure cost reductions and accelerated time to market for digital processes going forward.

Interim Report as of June 30, 2023

International Private Bank progressed with the successful execution against its strategic objectives in the second quarter of 2023. In an industry context still challenged by market turbulences and geopolitical uncertainty, International Private Bank maintained a sustained revenue growth momentum. Increasing deposit revenues driven by higher interest rates continued to provide tailwinds to the revenue performance, while net new asset flows showed an acceleration in the last part of the quarter. This was also fueled by the launch of differentiating investment solutions capturing the opportunities offered by the current market environment and effectively addressing client interests across all product solutions. The Bank for Entrepreneurs proposition further established itself as a strategic pillar of our holistic coverage for entrepreneurial family clients, with several deals showcasing its ability to deliver bank-wide capabilities to customers. At the same time, International Private Bank continued to focus on cost efficiency, largely self-funding growth investments and further optimizing the service model around its different client segments. In Premium Banking, the segment continued to transition the coverage from a traditional branch model towards remote advisory and modern digital branches.

In ESG, Private Bank continued its focus on sustainability and conducted a joint ESG online survey across both business units to research German investment client’s sustainability needs in financial services. Additionally, Private Bank Germany announced its sustainability strategy for residential real estate and extended its ESG pension product offering. International Private Bank launched its ESG Lounge, a new advisory journey training format for client facing teams and extended the CIO Nature Framework methodology to further enhance the ESG value proposition.

On July 12, 2023, Private Bank introduced a new organizational setup and a new composition of the Private Bank Executive Committee.

Asset Management

Asset Management principally consists of DWS Group GmbH & Co., with € 859 billion in assets under management as of June 30, 2023.

With the market environment becoming increasingly uncertain and client expectations evolving, DWS has refined its strategy with a goal of growing long-term shareholder value. In December 2022 and as part of the refined strategy, DWS announced new medium-term financial targets to be delivered over the next three years.

DWS reassessed its opportunities and assigned its lines of business into four key strategic clusters of Growth, Value, Build and Reduce, categorized by the differentiation of its capabilities and the market growth potential. Material progress in the period includes the launch of a number of new funds in Passive and Alternatives, enhancement of investment platform to promote positive performance culture, entered into a strategic alliance to speed up the delivery of digital asset products, considered areas for potential divestment and executed global efficiency measures, including reorganization and de-layering.

Sustainability is embedded in DWS’s overall strategy. In the first half of 2023, DWS has updated its sustainability strategy to clearly define priorities in sustainability. Its ambition is to enable clients to navigate the sustainable transformation of the real economy by providing them with investment expertise and solutions. The topic of climate change remains the core theme of its updated sustainability strategy.

Interim Report as of June 30, 2023

Group results

Deutsche Bank announced a profit before tax of € 1.1 billion for the second quarter of 2023, down 59% compared to the second quarter of 2022. Results in the quarter include € 655 million of nonoperating costs, comprising € 395 million of litigation charges relating mainly to longstanding matters and € 260 million in restructuring and severance relating to the accelerated execution of the bank’s strategy. In the prior year quarter, nonoperating costs were € 102 million. Excluding nonoperating costs in both periods, profit before tax would have been € 1.7 billion, down 36% year on year.

Second quarter post-tax profit was € 693 million, compared to € 2.0 billion in the prior year quarter, partly reflecting an effective tax rate of 35%, compared to 22% in the prior year quarter. Certain litigation charges in the second quarter of 2023 were non-tax deductible, while the tax rate in the prior year quarter benefited from the geographical mix of income.

The bank’s key ratios also reflected nonoperating costs in the quarter. Post-tax return on average tangible shareholders’ equity (RoTE) was 3.7%, compared to 14.0% in the second quarter of 2022 and post-tax return on average shareholders’ equity (RoE) was 3.3%, down from 12.6% in the prior year quarter. The cost/income ratio was 79%, up from 63% in the prior year quarter. Assuming an equal apportionment of 2023 bank levies and excluding nonoperating costs, post-tax RoTE would have been 6.2% and the cost/income ratio would have been 72%.

For the first six months, profit before tax was € 3.0 billion, down 27% year on year with nonoperating costs of € 744 million, up from € 95 million in the first six months of 2022. Excluding these nonoperating costs in both periods, profit before tax would have been € 3.8 billon in the first half of 2023, down 11% from € 4.2 billion in the prior year period.

Key ratios: a clear path toward 2025 targets

Post-tax profit in the first half year was € 2.1 billion, down 34% year on year. This development reflected an effective tax rate of 31%, which included the impact of the aforementioned non-deductible litigation charges, compared to 23% in the first six months of 2022. Post-tax RoTE was 6.2%, compared to 10.7% in the prior year period and post-tax RoE was 5.6%, down from 9.6% in the prior year period. The cost/income ratio was 75% compared to 69% in the prior year period.

Deutsche Bank’s results for the first six months of 2023 include bank levies of € 475 million, predominantly recognized in the first quarter. Assuming an equal distribution of the annual bank levy across the four quarters of 2023, and a six-month pro rata (six-twelfths) share in the first half year, post-tax RoTE would have been 6.8% and the cost/income ratio would have been 73%.

Assuming an equal distribution of the annual bank levy across the four quarters of 2023 and excluding nonoperating costs, post-tax RoTE would have been 8.7%, close to the bank’s 2025 target for a post-tax RoTE of above 10%. The cost/income ratio would have been 68%, on the path towards the bank’s 2025 target of below 62.5%. Deutsche Bank reaffirmed its 2025 targets for post-tax RoTE and cost/income ratio.

Share buybacks approved and capital distribution plans reaffirmed

As announced on July 25, 2023, Deutsche Bank has received supervisory approvals for further share repurchases of up to € 450 million by year-end 2023. The bank plans to commence these repurchases in August. Anticipated 2023 share repurchases are 50% higher than in 2022, consistent with the 50% dividend growth already delivered in respect of the financial year 2022. The bank aims for total share repurchases and dividends of over € 1 billion in 2023, bringing total distributions to shareholders over 2022 and 2023 to approximately € 1.75 billion.

Deutsche Bank reaffirmed its capital objectives of € 8 billion in capital distributions for the financial years 2021-2025; 50% dividend growth per year in respect of the financial years 2022- 2024, and a 50% payout ratio from 2025.

Deutsche Bank

Interim Report as of June 30, 2023

Progress on accelerated execution of the Global Hausbank strategy

Deutsche Bank made progress in accelerating execution of its Global Hausbank strategy on all dimensions during the quarter:

• Operational efficiency: Deutsche Bank aims for incremental operational efficiencies of € 2.5 billion annually predominantly by 2025. By the end of the first half of 2023, efficiencies totaling approximately € 1 billion were either already achieved or expected from measures completed. This includes over € 600 million in efficiencies already delivered through measures including branch closures in the Private Bank, standardizing loan processing and other measures in the Corporate Bank and Investment Bank, and simplifying technology infrastructure; a further € 300 million in annual savings are expected, from 2025 onwards, from the migration of some 12 million Postbank clients onto the Deutsche Bank technology platform which is now complete; and over € 100 million per year in savings are expected from reductions in non-client facing staff, where approximately 80% of impacted staff have either been informed or have departed. A significant portfolio of additional initiatives is underway and the bank reaffirms its € 2.5 billion target for annual incremental operational efficiencies
• Capital efficiency: Deutsche Bank aims for capital efficiencies of € 15-20 billion in risk weighted assets (RWAs) by 2025, with modest revenue impact, by 2025. In the second quarter, the bank accelerated securitizations and delivered RWA relief of around € 3 billion in the Corporate Bank. In addition, credit risk RWAs were reduced as part of the Trade Finance and Lending optimization efforts during the quarter, while the business continued to deliver revenue growth. Further optimization measures in preparation for the second half of 2023 include securitizations and reductions in sub-hurdle lending
• Revenue growth: To support its original target of 3.5 – 4.5% in compound annual growth from 2021, the bank made strategic hires in capital-efficient businesses, announced the acquisition of Numis, the UK corporate broker, and was selected as issuing partner for Miles & More, Europe’s leading loyalty program. The Private Bank and Asset Management together attracted € 28 billion in net inflows in the first half of 2023 including € 16 billion in the second quarter

Revenues: outperforming strategic targets

Net revenues were € 7.1 billion, down 8% year on year, in the second quarter and € 14.8 billion in the first six months of 2023. Revenue development by business was as follows:

• Corporate Bank net revenues were € 1.9 billion in the second quarter, up 25% year on year. All businesses delivered double-digit growth, driven by strong net interest income and continued pricing discipline. Revenues in Corporate Treasury Services were up 14% to € 1.1 billion, Institutional Client Services revenues rose 25% to € 492 million, and Business Banking revenues grew 78% to € 376 million. Deposits increased by € 2 billion during the quarter to € 271 billion. For the first six months, net revenues were up 30% to € 3.9 billion. Corporate Treasury Services revenues were up 23% to € 2.3 billion, Institutional Client Services revenues rose 26% to € 939 million, and Business Banking revenues rose 68% to € 713 million
• Investment Bank net revenues were € 2.4 billion in the quarter, down 11% year on year. FIC Sales & Trading (FIC) revenues declined by 10% to € 2.1 billion. Strong growth in Credit Trading and growth in Financing revenues was more than offset by lower revenues in Rates, Foreign Exchange and Emerging Markets compared to a very strong prior year quarter. Origination & Advisory revenues were 25% higher year on year at € 291 million, as Debt Origination benefited from the non-recurrence of leveraged lending markdowns in the prior year quarter which more than offset year-on-year declines in Equity Origination and Advisory revenues. For the first six months, net revenues were € 5.1 billion, down 15%. Revenues in FIC were € 4.5 billion, down 14%, while revenues in Origination & Advisory declined 13% to € 618 million
• Private Bank net revenues in the second quarter were € 2.4 billion, up 11% year on year. Growth was driven by higher revenues from deposit products, driven by higher net interest margins, partly offset by lower fee income and lower loan revenues in an environment of higher interest rates. Revenues in the Private Bank Germany grew 16% to € 1.5 billion, while revenues in the International Private Bank rose 4% to € 865 million, or 6% if adjusted for the non-recurrence of revenues of approximately € 15 million following the sale of Deutsche Bank Financial Advisors in Italy in the fourth quarter of 2022. Assets under Management rose by € 11 billion to € 541 billion during the quarter, driven largely by net inflows of € 7 billion which included inflows into investment products of € 4 billion and deposits of € 3 billion. For the first six months, net revenues were up 10% to € 4.8 billion. Revenues in the Private Bank Germany rose 15% to € 3.1 billion, while revenues in the International Private Bank were € 1.8 billion, up 3%, or up 5% if adjusted for the non-recurrence of around € 30 million in revenues from the aforementioned prior year business disposal in Italy. Assets under Management were € 541 billion, up by € 23 billion in the first six months, driven in part by net inflows of € 13 billion

11

Deutsche Bank

Interim Report as of June 30, 2023

• Asset Management net revenues were € 620 million in the second quarter, down 6% year on year. This development principally reflected a 6% decline in management fees to € 580 million, reflecting lower average assets under management compared to the prior year period, and higher allocated funding charges, partly offset by a 82% rise in performance and transaction fees to € 57 million, driven largely by Alternatives. Assets under management rose by € 19 billion to € 859 billion during the quarter. This growth included net inflows of € 9 billion, or € 10 billion ex-Cash, driven predominantly by Passive and Alternatives, compared to net outflows of € 25 billion in the second quarter of 2022. For the first six months, net revenues were € 1.2 billion, a decline of 10% compared to the first six months of 2022, partly reflecting a 7% decline in management fees and the aforementioned rise in allocated funding charges, which more than offset a rise of 18% in performance and transaction fees. Assets under management grew by € 38 billion, compared to a decline of € 94 billion in the first six months of 2022; net inflows were € 15 billion, or € 19 billion ex-Cash, compared to net outflows of € 26 billion in the prior year period

Noninterest expenses impacted by nonoperating costs, while adjusted costs remain within guidance range

Noninterest expenses were € 5.6 billion in the second quarter, up 15% year on year. This development primarily reflected nonoperating costs of € 655 million, up from € 102 million in the prior year quarter, and comprising € 395 million in litigation charges relating mainly to longstanding matters and € 260 million in restructuring & severance relating to accelerated execution of the bank’s Global Hausbank strategy. Adjusted costs, which exclude these items, were € 4.9 billion, reflecting a monthly run-rate within the bank’s guidance range, and up 4%, below the rate of inflation despite the cumulative impact of investments in technology and controls in recent periods.

For the first six months, noninterest expenses were € 11.1 billion, up 8%. The year-on-year increase was driven by nonoperating costs of € 744 million, up from € 95 million in the first half of 2022. Adjusted costs for the first six months were € 10.3 billion, up 2% from the prior year period despite continued investments and inflationary headwinds.

The workforce rose by 343 internal full-time equivalents (FTEs) to 87,055 during the quarter, including the internalization of 276 external FTEs. Hires into business growth and control functions were largely offset by leavers during the quarter, which included around 500 FTEs from the technology centre in Russia and departures related to the aforementioned reduction in non-client facing staff as part of the bank’s operational efficiency initiatives.

Credit provisions: growth reflects a more challenging environment

Provision for credit losses was € 401 million in the second quarter, up from € 372 million in the first quarter. Stage 1 and 2 provisions were € 63 million, compared to releases of € 26 million in the previous quarter, reflecting portfolio and rating movements, notably in the Investment Bank. Provision for non-performing (Stage 3) loans was € 338 million, down from € 397 million in the previous quarter, partly reflecting a non-recurrence of provisions relating to a small number of idiosyncratic events in the International Private Bank in the previous quarter.

For the first six months, provision for credit losses was € 772 million, or 31 basis points of average loans (bps). For the full year 2023, Deutsche Bank expectsprovisions for credit losses to be at the higher end of its communicated range of 25 to 30 basis points, reflecting an uncertain macro-economic environment. 

Capital and liquidity in line with goals

The Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio was 13.8% at the end of the second quarter, up from 13.6% at the end of the first quarter, above the bank’s 2025 capital objective of around 13%. The quarter-on-quarter development largely reflected the positive impact on capital of strong earnings, together with a slight decline in risk weighted assets during the quarter. These positive factors more than offset deductions for dividends and AT1 coupons.

The Leverage ratio was 4.7% in the quarter, up from 4.6% in the previous quarter. Leverage exposure was € 1,236 billion at the end of the second quarter, essentially unchanged from the first quarter.

Liquidity reserves were € 244 billion at the end of the second quarter, up from € 241 billion at the end of the first quarter, including High Quality Liquid Assets of € 204 billion. The Liquidity Coverage Ratio was 137%, above the regulatory requirement of 100%, representing a surplus of € 55 billion. The Net Stable Funding Ratio was 119%, within the bank’s target range of 115-120%, representing a surplus of € 97 billion above required levels.

Sustainable Finance: further progress toward accelerated targets

Sustainability continued to be on the top of the agenda in the second quarter of 2023. The bank was recognized as “Best Bank for ESG 2023” for its Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)-related trade and supply chain finance programs at “Global Trade Review Leaders in Trade awards”.

In the second quarter of 2023, Deutsche Bank continued to deliver on the bank’s targets and further pillars of its sustainability strategy. For example, the bank:

• – Acted as joint ESG coordinator on the State of Hesse’s € 1 billion 10-year green benchmark, a transaction which marks the largest green bond issuance by a German State to date
• – Acted as coordinating lead arranger and joint bookrunner in the closure of an up to U.S.$ 800 million new revolving credit facility to support the expansion of Intersect Power LLC’s clean energy platform
• – Contributed to conserving marine biodiversity with the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) environmental program “How We Live” and funded community conservation projects in several countries in Asia Pacific by partnering with The Nature Conservancy
• – Announced the usage of payment cards made from recycled plastic in Germany starting from mid-2023

Furthermore, Deutsche Bank published a White Paper on carbon footprint linked to the EU residential real estate sector, as well as updated its Environmental & Social Policy Framework. The bank also established a Real Estate Sustainability Council to oversee targets and achievements for its own operations.

Corporate Bank

Corporate Bank Profit before tax was € 670 million in the quarter, up by 52% year on year. Post-tax RoTE was 14.8%, up from 10.8% in the prior year quarter, and post-tax RoE was 13.6%, up from 9.9%. The cost/income ratio was 59%, down from 68% in Q2 2022.

Net revenues were € 1.9 billion, 25% higher year on year. Revenue growth was driven by net interest income in an environment of higher interest rates and continued pricing discipline. Deposits declined by 1%, or € 4 billion year on year, but increased by 1% or € 2 billion compared to the previous quarter. Loans gross of allowances were down 10%, or € 13 billion compared to the second quarter of 2022 and 4%, or € 5 billion lower compared to prior quarter.

All of the Corporate Bank’s businesses contributed to revenue growth. Corporate Treasury Services net revenues were € 1.1 billion, up 14% year on year. Institutional Client Services net revenues were € 492 million, 25% higher year on year. Business Banking net revenues were € 376 million, 78% higher year on year.

Noninterest expenses were € 1.2 billion, up 10% year on year. This development was driven by nonoperating costs of € 106 million, including litigation charges of € 91 million and restructuring and severance of € 15 million, compared to nonoperating costs of € 6 million, including litigation charges of € 5 million and restructuring and severance of € 1 million, in the prior year quarter. Adjusted costs, which exclude these items, remained stable year on year at € 1.1 billion.

Provision for credit losses was € 117 million in the quarter, up from € 56 million in the prior year quarter, and 40 basis points of average loans, due to weakening in certain sub-sectors.

For the first six months of 2023, profit before tax was € 1.5 billion, more than double the first six months of 2022. Post-tax RoTE rose to 16.6%, from 8.4% in the prior year period, while post-tax RoE was 15.3%, up from 7.7%. The cost/income ratio improved to 57%, from 70% in the prior year period. This development was driven by 30% growth in net revenues to € 3.9 billion, while noninterest expenses rose 6% to € 2.2 billion and adjusted costs rose only 1% to € 2.1 billion, with provision for credit losses reduced by 11% to € 182 million.

Deutsche Bank

Interim Report as of June 30, 2023

Investment Bank

Profit before tax was € 576 million, down 44% year on year. The year-on-year development was driven by lower revenues in FIC Sales & Trading compared to the very strong levels of the prior year quarter, higher costs relating to investments in the business and controls, combined with increased provision for credit losses. As a result, post-tax RoTE was 5.3% and post-tax RoE was 5.0% compared to 11.1% and 10.6% respectively in the prior year quarter. The cost/income ratio was 69%, compared to 58% in the prior year quarter.

Net revenues were € 2.4 billion, down 11% year on year. Revenues in FIC Sales & Trading were lower than in the very strong second quarter of 2022, reflecting levels of volatility and market activity in the prior year period which did not recur in the current quarter. Origination & Advisory revenues were significantly higher, due to the non-recurrence of leveraged lending markdowns in Debt Origination which impacted the prior year quarter.

FIC Sales & Trading revenues were € 2.1 billion, down 10% year on year compared to an exceptionally strong prior year quarter. Financing revenues were higher, reflecting the ongoing strength of the franchise. Credit Trading revenues were significantly higher, with improvements in the flow business and strong performance in Distressed. In Rates and Foreign Exchange, revenues were significantly lower compared to a very strong prior year quarter. Emerging Markets revenues were lower, as expected, as the prior year quarter saw heightened market activity in the Central & Eastern Europe, Middle East & Africa region and strong performance in Asia.

Origination & Advisory revenues were € 291 million, up 25% year on year, with the prior year having been impacted by leveraged lending markdowns. Debt Origination revenues were significantly higher benefitting from the non-recurrence of the aforementioned leveraged lending markdowns, though performance also reflected a partial year-on-year recovery in market share for Leveraged Debt Capital Markets (source: Dealogic). While Investment Grade debt revenues were lower, the business saw market share gains in a lower industry fee pool (source: Dealogic). Advisory revenues were significantly lower, reflecting a materially reduced industry fee pool year-on-year.

Noninterest expenses were € 1.6 billion in the quarter, an increase of 7% year-on-year, reflecting further control improvements  and investment in the business to support the Investment Bank’s ongoing strategic objectives, partly offset by lower litigation provisions compared to the prior year period.

Provision for credit losses was € 141 million in the quarter, or 54 basis points of average loans. The increase over the prior year period was primarily driven by higher Stage 1 and 2 model calculations, combined with higher Stage 3 impairments, primarily in the Commercial Real Estate sector.

For the first six months of 2023, profit before tax was € 1.4 billion, down 43%, This development reflected a 15% decline in net revenues to € 5.1 billion and a 3% rise in noninterest expenses to € 3.4 billion. Provision for credit losses was € 181 million in the first six months, up from € 108 million in the prior year period. Post-tax RoTE was 6.9%, compared to 13.9% in the prior year period, and post-tax RoE was 6.6%, versus 13.2% in the first six months of 2022.

Deutsche Bank

Interim Report as of June 30, 2023

Private Bank

Profit before tax was € 171 million in the quarter, after € 254 million in nonoperating costs, including restructuring and severance related to strategy execution and individual litigation cases. In the prior year quarter, profit before tax of € 412 million benefitted from net releases of € 96 million relating to these items. This impact was partly offset by double-digit year-on-year revenue growth in the quarter. Reflecting the aforementioned nonoperating cost items, the cost/income ratio increased to 87%, from 76% in the prior year quarter, while post-tax RoTE declined from 8.6% to 2.8% and post-tax RoE was 2.6%.

Net revenues were € 2.4 billion, up 11% year on year. Revenue growth was driven by higher net interest income from deposit products, as the net interest margin increased to 2.3% compared to 1.9% in the prior year quarter. This was in part offset by lower fee income and lower loan revenues in a rising interest rate environment. The Private Bank attracted net inflows into Assets under management of € 7 billion in the quarter, with net inflows in both investment products and deposits. Quarterly loan development reflected lower client demand against a backdrop of rising interest rates mainly in mortgage loans in Germany.

Net revenues in the Private Bank Germany grew significantly by 16% to € 1.5 billion in the quarter. Growth was driven by higher net interest income from deposit products, which more than offset impacts from lower fee income due to changes in contractual and regulatory conditions. In addition, the prior year quarter benefited from higher valuation impacts.

In the International Private Bank, net revenues were € 865 million, up 4% year on year, or 6% if adjusted for the aforementioned impact of non-recurring revenues following the sale of the Deutsche Bank Financial Advisors business in Italy in the fourth quarter of 2022. Growth was driven by higher deposit revenues, partly offset by lower loan and investment revenues.

Assets under management in the Private Bank were € 541 billion at quarter end, up € 10 billion in the quarter. The increase was driven by the aforementioned net inflows of € 7 billion and a € 4 billion positive impact from higher market levels.

Noninterest expenses were € 2.1 billion, up 26% year on year. This development was mainly attributable to the aforementioned nonoperating costs of € 254 million, including restructuring and severance of € 183 million and litigation charges of € 71 million. Adjusted costs, which exclude these items, were up 5%, mainly reflecting investments in infrastructure control improvements and strategic initiatives. Inflation impacts were largely mitigated by continued savings.

Provision for credit losses was € 147 million, or 22 basis points of average loans, compared to € 96 million in the prior year quarter, which benefitted from releases of credit loss allowances following sales of non-performing loans. The development of the overall portfolio continued to reflect the high quality of the loan book, especially in the retail businesses, and ongoing tight risk discipline. Provisions were significantly lower quarter on quarter, reflecting a non-recurrence of certain idiosyncratic events in the International Private Bank in the first quarter of 2023.

For the first six months of 2023, the Private Bank reported a profit before tax of € 452 million, down from € 805 million in the prior year period. The decline was primarily attributable to nonoperating costs, including restructuring and severance and litigation charges of € 286 million, compared to releases of € 136 million in the first half of 2022. This development was also the primary driver for a year-on-year increase in noninterest expenses of 18% to € 4.0 billion. Excluding the aforementioned nonoperating costs from both periods, profit before tax in the first six months of 2023 would have been € 738 million, compared to € 669 million in the prior year period. Provision for credit losses was € 413 million, up from € 197 million in the prior year period, driven mainly by a small number of single name losses in the International Private Bank in the first quarter of 2023 and the non-recurrence of the aforementioned releases of credit loss allowances in 2022. These negative impacts were in part offset by revenue growth of 10% to € 4.8 billion in the first half of 2023, the highest first-half revenues since the formation of Private Bank. Key ratios fell short of the levels of the prior year period, mainly reflecting the aforementioned year-on-year increase in nonoperating costs. Accordingly, the cost/income ratio rose to 82% compared to 77% in the prior year period. Post-tax RoTE declined from 8.5% in the prior year period to 4.0% in the first half of 2023, while post-tax RoE was 3.7%. Business growth of € 12 billion in the first six months of the year was driven by net inflows into assets under management.

Interim Report as of June 30, 2023

Asset Management

Profit before tax was € 103 million in the second quarter, a 34% decrease over the prior year period, mainly driven by lower revenues. The cost/income ratio rose year-on-year by 7 percentage points to 76% in the quarter.

Net revenues were € 620 million, down 6% over the prior year period. This was predominantly driven by a 6% decline in management fees to € 580 million, reflecting lower average assets under management, and higher allocated funding charges. These impacts were partly offset by an 82% rise in performance and transactions fees to € 57 million, driven by Alternatives, compared to € 31 million in the prior year quarter.

Noninterest expenses were € 474 million in the quarter, slightly higher year-on-year. Compensation and benefits costs and general and administrative expenses were slightly higher by 4% and 5% respectively. Adjusted costs were € 446 million, up by 3%.

Excluding Cash, net inflows were € 10 billion, driven by Passive product inflows of € 6 billion, including Xtrackers and € 4 billion in Alternatives. These were partly offset by outflows of € 1 billion in low-margin Cash products. Total net inflows were € 9 billion in the quarter.

Assets under Management rose by € 19 billion, or 2%, to € 859 billion during the quarter. This increase was mainly due to positive market developments and net inflows during the quarter, while exchange rate movements had a negative impact. Compared to the prior year quarter, assets under management have increased by 3%.

For the first six months of 2023, Asset Management reported a profit before tax of € 218 million, down 40% over the first six months in 2022, while adjusted profit before tax declined by 37% to € 233 million. Post-tax RoTE was 13% and the cost/income ratio was 75%. Year-to-date net inflows were € 15 billion, and € 19 billion ex-Cash.

Corporate & Other

Corporate & Other (C&O) reported a loss before tax of € 461 million in the second quarter of 2023, compared to a gain before tax of € 549 million in the prior year quarter. This development was primarily driven by lower revenues.

Net revenues were negative € 261 million in the quarter, compared to positive € 686 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease was primarily driven by revenues relating to valuation and timing differences of negative € 94 million in the second quarter of 2023, compared to positive € 864 million in the prior year quarter. Revenues related to funding and liquidity were negative € 10 million in the second quarter of 2023, compared to negative € 112 million in the prior year quarter.

Noninterest expenses were € 255 million in the quarter, compared to € 178 million in the prior year quarter, with the increase primarily driven by higher nonoperating costs – Expenses associated with shareholder activities, as defined in the OECD Transfer Pricing guidelines, were € 138 million in this quarter, compared to € 120 million in the prior year quarter

Noncontrolling interests are reversed in C&O after deduction from the divisional profit before tax. These were positive € 51 million for the quarter, broadly flat to the prior year, and were mainly related to DWS.

For the first six months of 2023, the loss before tax in C&O was € 591 million, compared to a loss before tax of € 268 million in the prior year period.

Risk-weighted assets stood at € 41 billion at the end of the second quarter, including € 19 billion of operational risk RWA, down € 2 billion since the first quarter of 2023 and down € 11 billion compared to the prior year quarter. This reduction compared to the prior year was primarily driven by lower market risk.

Capital expenditures and divestitures

During the first six months of 2023, the Group announced the following significant capital expenditures:

In April 2023, Deutsche Bank announced that it reached an agreement on an all-cash offer for the acquisition of Numis Corporation Plc. The transaction is intended to allow Deutsche Bank to accelerate its Global Hausbank strategy by unlocking a much deeper engagement with the corporate client segment in the United Kingdom. The bank expects the transaction to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2023,subject to certain conditions.

During the first six months of 2023, the Group did not make any significant divestitures.

Interim Report as of June 30, 2023

Movements in assets and liabilities

As of June 30, 2023, the total balance sheet of € 1.3 trillion was essentially flat compared to year-end 2022.

Deposits decreased by € 29.0 billion, mainly with non-bank deposits. In the Corporate Bank, deposits have decreased primarily in the Corporate Cash Management business driven by clients’ active reduction of excess liquidity, increased price competition and increased market volatility. In the Private Bank, deposits have decreased primarily due to migration into higher yielding investment products and continued inflationary pressure impacting retail clients. This decline in deposits was the primary driver of € 14.9 billiondecrease in cash, central bank and interbank balances.

Central bank funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements and securities loaned across all applicable measurement categories increased by € 24.1 billion, mainly attributable to increased secured funding of trading inventory. Corresponding assets increased by € 3.6 billion.

Trading assets and trading liabilities increased by € 15.6 billion and € 3.4 billion, respectively,mainly due to increased exposure in government securities from higher client flows and desk positioning in relation to the current environment.

Positive and negative market values of derivative financial instruments decreased by € 41.1 billion and € 39.1 billion, respectively,driven by foreign exchange products primarily due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the euro and market volatility as well as interest rate products due to moves in interest rate curves.

Loans at amortized cost decreased by € 7.4 billion,primarily driven by decrease in Corporate Bank due to lower demand and continued selective balance sheet deployment coupled with impact of foreign exchange movements.

Long term debt decreased by € 9.2 billion as a result of prepayment of Targeted Longer-Term Refinancing Operations (TLTRO) funding and matured issuances which were partly offset by new issuances during the year.

Remaining assets increased by € 9.9 billion, mainly driven by increases in brokerage and securities related receivables of € 11.1 billion. This was mainly attributable to a seasonal increase in pending settlements of regular way trades compared to low year-end levels, partly offset by a decrease in cash margin receivables, in line with decreasing derivative exposures. This seasonality pattern was also reflected in an increase in brokerage and securities related payables by € 5.0 billion, driving the € 8.1 billion increase in remaining liabilities.

The overall movement of the balance sheet included a decrease of € 12.7 billion due to foreign exchange rate movements, mainly driven by a weakening of the U.S. dollar against the euro. The effects of foreign exchange rate movements are embedded in the movements of the balance sheet line items discussed in this section.

Liquidity

Total High Quality Liquid Assets (HQLA) as defined by the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/61 and amended by Regulation (EU) 2018/1620 were € 204 billion as of June 30, 2023, compared to € 219 billion as of December 31, 2022. The decrease was primarily on account of TLTRO repayment, buy back of senior non preferred issuances and the April call of a Tier 2 instrument. The Group maintains additional highly liquid central bank eligible assets, not qualifying as HQLA or subject to transfer restrictions under the HQLA definition. These additional liquid assets were € 40 billion as at the end of June 30, 2023, such that the Group’s total Liquidity Reserves were € 244 billion. The Liquidity Coverage Ratio was 137% in the second quarter of 2023, a surplus to regulatory requirements of € 55 billion.

Deutsche Bank

Interim Report as of June 30, 2023

Equity

Total equity as of June 30, 2023 increased by € 187 million compared to December 31, 2022. This change was driven by a number of factors including the profit reported for the period of € 2.0 billion, treasury shares distributed under share-based compensation plans of € 384 million and remeasurement gains related to defined benefit plans of € 161 million, net of tax. Further contributing factors include unrealized net gains on accumulated other comprehensive income, mainly attributable to financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income of € 176 million, net of tax. These were partially offset by a negative impact from foreign currency translation of € 696 million, net of tax, mainly resulting from the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro, coupons paid on additional equity components of € 498 million, net of tax as well as cash dividends paid to Deutsche Bank shareholders of € 610 million. Further contributing factors include net purchases of treasury shares of € 407 million, a net change in share awards for the period of € 274 million and cash dividends paid to noncontrolling interests of € 92 million.

On February 28, 2023, Deutsche Bank cancelled 27 million of its common shares. The cancellation reduced the nominal value of the shares by € 68 million. The cancelled shares had been held in common shares in treasury, at their acquisition cost of € 300 million. The difference between the common shares at cost and their nominal value has reduced additional paid-in capital by € 232 million. The shares had already been deducted from the reported total equity on December 31, 2022. Therefore, the cancellation did not reduce the reported total equity in the first six months of 2023.

Outlook

The following section provides an overview of Deutsche Bank’s outlook for the Group and business segments for the financial year 2023 and should be read in conjunction with the Outlook section provided in the Annual Report 2022. The outlook for the global economy and banking industry in the following chapter reflects the Group’s general expectations regarding future economic and industry developments. Economic assumptions used in the bank’s models are laid out separately in the respective sections.

Global Economy

Economic growth (in %)¹	2023²	2022	Main driver
Global Economy			Global economic growth is likely to slow, mainly due to weaker economic growth in the developed countries. In addition, the slower recovery of China's economy is also expected to provide weaker impetus for the global economy. The central banks' interest rate hikes continued to have a dampening effect on various economic sectors but it is expected that inflation has peaked.
GDP	2.8	3.3
Inflation	6.5	8.7
Of which:
Developed countries			Growth momentum of the developed countries has been dampened during the first half of 2023 by the weakness of various European countries, which are expected to slowly recover in the second half of 2023. As a result of monetary tightening, a slowdown is likely in the U.S. towards the end of the year. In other developed countries, interest rate hikes by central banks are also dampening economic activity.
GDP	1.1	2.7
Inflation	4.6	7.4
Emerging markets			In the course of 2023, growth momentum in the emerging markets is likely to pick up further. The extent of this is likely to be determined not least by the economic recovery in China. Regional geopolitical factors are expected to remain important for Eastern Europe. Overall inflation momentum is easing, but core inflation is expected to be stickier.
GDP	3.9	3.7
Inflation	7.8	9.5
Eurozone Economy			For the remainder of 2023, economic growth in the Eurozone is expected to remain slow, although falling energy prices and inflation should lift disposable income. However, there are several headwinds such as the high price level weighing on demand, a drag from an expected U.S. recession, delayed impact of European Central Bank interest rate hikes and a less supportive fiscal stance.
GDP	0.5	3.5
Inflation	5.5	8.4
Of which: German economy			Following a technical recession in the winter, an only muted recovery is expected in the second half of 2023. Private consumption is likely to catch up somewhat as headline inflation declines and the agreed wage increases filter through. However, the anticipated U.S. recession and the increasing impact of monetary tightening is expected to weigh on growth, which will also be impacted by structural factors such as labor shortages, weaker globalization and the energy transition to renewables.
GDP	(0.3)	1.8
Inflation	6.1	6.9
US Economy			As a result of the Federal Reserve's monetary tightening, the U.S. economy is likely to dive into a recession by the end of 2023. Private households should have used up their excess savings by then and the labor market will probably weaken. Inflation has peaked, but it is sticky and far from the Federal Reserve's 2% target.
GDP	1.8	2.1
Inflation	3.9	8.0
Japanese Economy			Domestic demand in Japan is expected to continue to trend upward in 2023, as a result of the post-pandemic catch-up, faster wage growth, and availability private savings. GDP growth is likely to slow at the end of 2023 as a result of a U.S. recession. Despite the pickup in inflation dynamics the Bank of Japan is expected to maintain its accommodating policy stance.
GDP	1.1	1.0
Inflation	3.3	2.5
Asian Economy3			Overall, the Asian economies should grow robustly in the second half of 2023, but much depends on how strongly China's economy will recover. The rather weak economic outlook for overseas trading partners is limiting Asia’s growth momentum in the short term. The easing of inflationary pressures should support GDP growth.
GDP	4.9	4.1
Inflation	2.5	3.8
Of which: Chinese Economy			China's recovery is expected to continue in 2023 at a modest pace. Although some catch-up potential was already realized at the beginning of the year, there are still several areas with recovery potential. The labor market is expected to improve further. Overall, the recovery is focused on the domestic economy. Expected fiscal measures and People‘s Bank of China's monetary policy should provide support.
GDP	5.3	3.0
Inflation	0.7	2.0

There are a number of risks to the global economic outlook. Geopolitical risks remain elevated in Ukraine, and U.S. versus China strategic competition could possibly continue to intensify. If inflation remains above central bank targets and with elevated probability of recession in major economies, the risk of stagflation will rise. Moreover, a combination of declining growth and above-target inflation could lead to higher default rates and consequently affect financial stability.

Interim Report as of June 30, 2023

Banking Industry

In the U.S. and Europe, on the back of the recent strong improvements in bank performance due to the surge in interest rates, further upside may be more limited in the second half of 2023. Some of the factors contributing to the relatively positive sector environment may weaken going forward, and headwinds could intensify. Interest rate increases by Western central banks are likely to come to an end in the next few months, while deposit funding cost may continue to rise, putting pressure on interest margins which have widened significantly since the start of the rate hiking cycle. Likewise, loan demand will probably recede further, across most market segments, exacerbating the effect of banks’ tighter credit standards. On top of that, with weak economic growth across the U.S. and Europe and normalized interest rates, corporate and household insolvencies may rise, requiring higher loan loss provisions not least on real estate-linked assets, although from a very low starting point. In contrast, capital market activity could potentially pick up following the recent drought as issuers and investors adjust to the new market environment.

Bank revenues and particularly net interest income should continue to rise, though at a slower pace, on both sides of the Atlantic. Profitability is likely to remain elevated, but further gains may become harder to achieve. At the same time, financial stability risks have increased due to the substantially higher rates. However, sector-wide capital and liquidity ratios should stay strong and therefore limit the potential for stress, despite idiosyncratic vulnerabilities. Across the industry, significant capital distributions to shareholders will likely continue.

In China and Japan, banks are benefiting much less from interest rate tailwinds and also face a relatively weak economic growth environment including low inflation, which may weigh on revenue momentum across business segments.

In June, European Commissioner McGuinness and UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Hunt signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on financial services. The main purpose of the MoU is to establish a regular forum for exchange about financial services regulation between the EU and UK, similar to an existing structure between the U.S. and the EU which meets on a semi-annual basis. This opened the door to discuss further cooperation arrangements and outstanding equivalence decisions. A first EU/UK financial services dialogue will most likely take place in October to establish processes for the forum. In addition, the UK regulators (Prudential Regulation Authority, PRA and Financial Conduct Authority, FCA) have formally been given policymaking powers. For 2023 they will still be transposing European regulations into a new UK financial services framework, further developing proposals to progress the UK banking and financial services sector and reflect on the possible implications of the financial turmoil.

In Europe, the European Commission has published all draft proposals they had planned within this Commission cycle. This includes proposals on open finance, digital euro, artificial intelligence (AI), Crisis Management Deposit Insurance review and theRetail Investment Strategy. Member States and the European Parliament will spend the second half of 2023 formulating their positions on these proposals. This is in addition to files such as on the European Clearing framework (EMIR 3.0) and the EU Listing Act which are more advanced but still not close to a conclusion. This could be a challenge, as the current members of the European Parliament will need to focus their time and attention on their election campaigns later in the year.

In the U.S., most of the attention will be on the proposals from the U.S. agencies to implement the Basel package in the U.S. framework. It is expected that more banks will be brought within the scope of having to implement the Basel standards and capital requirements for U.S. banks are expected to increase.

In 2024, elections will be held in key jurisdictions, starting with the elections to the European Parliament in June 2024, followed by elections towards the end of the year in the UK and in November in the U.S. In addition, the mandate of the current European Commission will terminate in October 2024. A new Commission will be installed in the following months. As the focus will be on these various elections it is not expected that any real progress will be made on the outstanding political discussions.

Interim Report as of June 30, 2023

Deutsche Bank Outlook

In March 2022, Deutsche Bank outlined its strategic and financial road map through 2025, referred to as the Global Hausbank strategy, and communicated the bank’s 2025 financial targets and capital objectives. In addition, the bank is working to refine and accelerate its Global Hausbank strategy with measures which, if successfully implemented, could allow the bank to outperform its 2025 financial targets.

Deutsche Bank reaffirms its financial targets to be achieved by 2025 of a post-tax return on average tangible equity of above 10%, well positioned to drive returns above cost of equity based on sustained operating leverage over the period, a compound annual revenue growth in revenues of between 3.5% and 4.5% for 2021 to 2025 and a cost/income ratio of below 62.5%. The bank also confirms its capital objectives of a CET1 capital ratio of around 13% and a payout ratio of 50% from 2025 onwards.

The bank expects Group revenues to be slightly higher in 2023 compared to the prior year. Deutsche Bank expects revenues to be in the range of € 28 billion to € 29 billion at Group level reflecting the positive impact of interest rates, particularly in the Corporate Bank and Private Bank, and stable contributions from the Investment Bank’s Financing business which more than offset normalizing conditions in the bank’s more market-sensitive businesses. Deutsche Bank expects the growth momentum experienced in the first half of 2023 to continue for the remainder of the year with revenues above the mid-point of the bank’s guidance range of € 28 billion to € 29 billion.

Corporate Bank expects to build on the strong momentum in the first half of 2023, with the interest rate environment and progress on its initiatives supporting performance in 2023, despite macro-economic uncertainties. Revenues are expected to be higher compared to the prior year with growth across all three client segments, driven by improvements in interest rates, pricing discipline and further impacts of our growth initiatives. The business segment expects the interest revenues to normalize in the second half of the year and an acceleration of the pass-through of higher interest rates to clients. Corporate Treasury Services revenues are anticipated to be higher with a strong momentum in the Corporate Cash Management business and growth in noninterest revenues. Corporate Cash Management revenues will continue to be driven by the net interest income from interest rates above prior year and pricing discipline. Trade Finance & Lending revenues will be impacted by our continued selective balance sheet deployment and reduced funding benefits including from the ECB’s TLTRO program. Institutional Client Services revenues are expected to be higher, supported by higher interest rates and business growth. In Business Banking, revenues are expected to be significantly higher compared to the prior year from growth in net interest income, principally due to higher interest rates in Germany and supported by stable loan volumes and deposit balances.

29

Deutsche Bank

Interim Report as of June 30, 2023

Investment Bank revenues are expected to be slightly lower in 2023 compared to the prior year. The recovery in Origination and Advisory has been slower than expected year to date and is likely to only partially offset a normalization in Fixed Income, Currency (FIC) Sales & Trading.

FIC Sales and Trading revenues are expected to be lower than in 2022. The performance in Rates has been robust so far in 2023 and the business will seek to develop targeted areas where it believes there are opportunities to do so. But the market normalization the business started to witness in the second quarter of 2023 is expected to continue through the remainder of the year. Global Emerging Markets will continue to develop the segment’s onshore footprint and client workflow solutions further, although volatility levels in the Central and Eastern Europe as well as Middle East and Africa regions and the associated revenues seen in 2022 are unlikely to be repeated. The Foreign Exchange business was negatively impacted by the extreme interest rate volatility in the first quarter of 2023, while the second quarter saw reduced currency volatility resulting in lower activity. Both of these factors will impact the full year performance. Within Credit Trading the flow credit business is building on investments into product and coverage teams which have contributed to improved performance in the first half of the year. This will support the broader Credit Trading franchise performance. The Financing business will continue to take a disciplined and selective approach to the deployment of resources and look to benefit going forward from the increase in interest rates seen over the last twelve months.

Origination & Advisory revenues are expected to be significantly higher in 2023 compared to 2022, primarily due to an expected recovery in the Debt Origination business. The industry saw an increase in High Yield activity in the first half of 2023, which is expected to feed into the rest of the year, although the Leveraged Debt market has continued to be muted. Additionally, the business does not expect a recurrence of the leveraged lending markdowns that occurred across the industry in 2022. The Investment Grade Debt business will look to build on its solid performance in the first half of the year, and further develop its ESG capabilities for clients. Equity Origination will continue to provide a competitive offering across products and will look to benefit from a market that began to improve in the second quarter. Advisory plans to build on the momentum of investment that has been made over the last six months, however, the reduced levels of announced volumes seen over the last year has materially lowered the industry fee pool in the first half of 2023, which will impact revenues for the remainder of the year.

Net revenues in the Private Bank in 2023 are anticipated to remain essentially flat compared to 2022. The year-on-year comparison will be impacted by the non-recurrence of a gain on the sale of the Deutsche Bank Financial Advisors business in Italy and by lower revenues from workout activities in Sal. Oppenheim. Revenues excluding these specific items are expected to be slightly higher compared to 2022 driven by net positive effects from the rising interest rate environment and by continued business growth despite an expected slowdown in loan volume growth, especially in the German mortgage book.

In the Private Bank Germany, revenues are expected to be higher compared to 2022. Net interest income is expected to grow driven by higher deposit revenues which will be partly offset by reduced funding benefits. Fee income is expected to be lower driven by changes in contractual and regulatory conditions. Fee income from investment product revenues is expected to be essentially flat.

Net revenues in the International Private Bank are expected to be lower compared to 2022 driven by the non-recurrence of the aforementioned gain in Italy of approximately € 310 million and Sal. Oppenheim workout revenues of approximately € 130 million. Excluding these specific items, revenues are anticipated to be slightly higher year on year reflecting continued business growth supported by prior relationship manager hiring. Positive impacts from rising interest rates are expected to more than compensate for the impact of reduced funding benefits and of forgone revenues after the aforementioned business sale.

Asset under management (AuM) volumes are expected to be higher compared to year end 2022 reflecting continued net inflows mainly in investment products. Net AuM deposit outflows in the first quarter of 2023 were essentially offset by inflows in the second quarter following dedicated client deposit campaigns. The overall development of AuM volumes will highly depend on market parameters, including equity indices and foreign exchange rates. Growth dynamics in the loan businesses in the Private Bank are expected to slow down mainly reflecting lower demand in mortgage loans in Germany.

In 2023, Asset Management expects total net revenues to be slightly lower for the full year 2023. Management fees are expected to be slightly lower in 2023 and other revenues to be significantly lower, partly offset by higher performance and transaction fees. Asset Management expects AuM to be slightly higher at the end of 2023 compared to the end of 2022, as it expects net inflows into growth areas like Passive including Xtrackers and Alternatives. This should be further enhanced by strategic partnerships and product innovations, including further ESG offerings.

Deutsche Bank

Interim Report as of June 30, 2023

For 2023, Corporate & Other is expected to generate a pre-tax loss and, as previously disclosed, will include financial impacts of Legacy Portfolios, previously reported as the Capital Release Unit. The pre-tax loss associated with Legacy Portfolios is expected to be lower than the pre-tax loss on the same basis in 2022, primarily from lower noninterest expenses. Results in Corporate & Other will continue to be impacted by valuation and timing differences on positions that are economically hedged, but do not meet hedge accounting requirements. Corporate & Other will also continue to retain certain funding and liquidity impacts, which in total are expected to be around € 300 million for the full year. Shareholder expenses are expected to be around € 500 million for the full year.

Deutsche Bank is managing the Group’s cost base towards its 2025 cost/income ratio target of 62.5%. The Group remains highly focused on cost discipline and delivery of the initiatives underway, with further incremental operational efficiencies in the process of being implemented underlining the Group’s commitment to continuous improvement as outlined in April 2023. For 2023 the bank now expects noninterest expenses to be slightly higher compared to 2022. This development reflects higher than originally anticipated litigation charges recorded in the second quarter of this year and impacts in relation to the Numis transaction, which is set to close in the last quarter of 2023. Adjusted costs for the full year 2023 are expected to be essentially flat compared to 2022, benefiting from strict cost management, lower Single Resolution Fund charges for the current year as well as a potential restitution payment from a national resolution fund. Moreover, Deutsche Bank continues to execute on its agenda to foster the bank’s growth ambitions and to improve the bank’s structural efficiency, including optimization of its Germany platform, the upgrade of its technology architecture, the front-to-back redesign of processes, measures to increase infrastructure efficiency, and the reductions in non-client facing senior roles. Benefits from these measures in the year are expected to be partially or fully offset by inflationary pressures as well as the impact of selective investments in further business growth and temporarily higher-than-expected costs in relation to the retirement of legacy technology infrastructure.

For the full year 2023, the Group expects provision for credit losses at the upper end of the bank’s guidance range of 25 to 30 basis points of average loans, reflecting the uncertain macroeconomic backdrop and lower loan balances than initially anticipated. The bank expects provision for credit losses in 2023, unlike in 2022, to be driven by single-name losses rather than a deterioration of macro-economic forward-looking indicators. Deutsche Bank remains committed to stringent underwriting standards and tight risk management framework. Further details on the calculation of expected credit losses are provided in the section “Risk information” in this report.

Common Equity Tier 1 ratio (CET 1 ratio) by year end 2023 is expected to remain essentially flat compared to 2022. The Group expects several regulatory decisions on internal credit and market risk models in 2023. On a net basis, risk weighted assets are also expected to remain essentially flat when considering model impacts, respective mitigation initiatives, share buybacks and business growth. Deutsche Bank aims for a Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 200 basis points above the Maximum Distributable Amount (MDA) threshold at the end of 2023. The timing of model decisions might drive CET1 ratio variability within the year.

Deutsche Bank is committed to delivering sustainable growth on cash dividends and, over time, returning excess capital that is over and above what is required to support profitable growth and upcoming regulatory changes to shareholders through share buybacks, subject to regulatory approval, shareholder authorization and meeting German corporate law requirements. To that end, subject to meeting the Group’s strategic targets, the Management Board intends to grow the cash dividend per share by 50% per annum over three years, starting from the € 0.20 per share paid for the financial year 2021. This would translate into approximately € 3.3 billion of cumulative dividend payments by 2025 with respect to financial years 2021-2024. In relation to the financial year 2024 the bank intends to achieve a total payout ratio of 50% from a combination of dividends paid and share buybacks executed in 2025; and the bank intends to maintain a 50% total payout ratio in subsequent years. In addition to the share buyback of € 300 million already concluded in 2022 and the up to € 450 million share buyback announced for the second half of 2023, successfully executing the Group’s financial and strategic plans through 2025 would therefore support the previously announced cumulative distributions to shareholders in the form of dividends paid or share buybacks executed of approximately € 8 billion in respect of financial years 2021-2025.

Deutsche Bank decided to initiate a share repurchase program of up to € 450 million, 50% higher than in 2022, expected to be executed in the second half of the year. Together with the dividend, the Group paid in respect of 2022, the bank aims to distribute more than € 1 billion of capital to shareholders in 2023.

31

Deutsche Bank

Interim Report as of June 30, 2023

By the nature of its business, Deutsche Bank is involved in litigation, arbitration and regulatory proceedings and investigations in Germany and in a number of jurisdictions outside Germany, including in the United States. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties. Deutsche Bank resolved a number of longstanding matters and made progress on others during the second quarter of 2023. For more details please refer to “Provisions” of this report. The Group expects the litigation and enforcement environment to remain challenging. With a caveat that forecasting litigation charges is subject to many uncertainties, and considering the cost of resolving matters and making progress on others, Deutsche Bank presently expects net litigation charges for 2023 to exceed the levels experienced in 2022.

Risks to the Group’s outlook include but are not limited to potential impacts on the business model from worse than expected macroeconomic environment including elevated persistent inflation forcing central banks to continue increasing interest rates and financial conditions to tighten further which, in turn, could lead to a deeper and more protracted recession. This could result in lower client activity and may impact the performance of certain sectors such as Commercial Real Estate thereby resulting in uncertainties on the bank’s estimates for credit loss provision and costs. In addition, geopolitical uncertainties across several themes including the ongoing war in Ukraine, the tensions between China and Taiwan and a possible intensification of U.S. versus China strategic competition could pose further risks including downside risks to growth, also impacting foreign exchange rates or securities. Failures in the bank’s control environment including from cyber threats may also result in unexpected impacts. For a more detailed discussion of potential downside risks please refer to Risks in “Risks and opportunities” of this report.

Our financial targets are based on our financial results prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and endorsed by the European Union (“EU”). For further details, please refer to the section ‘Basis of preparation/impact of changes in accounting principles’ in this report.

Adjusted costs as well as Post-tax Return on Average Tangible Equity are non-GAAP financial measures. Please refer to “Non-GAAP financial measures” of this report for the definitions of such measures and reconciliations to the IFRS measures on which they are based.

Deutsche Bank

Interim Report as of June 30, 2023

Risks and opportunities

The following section focuses on future trends or events that may result in downside risk or upside potential from what the Group has anticipated in its “Outlook”. The main development in the six months ended June 30, 2023 were the significant episodes of market volatility particularly around selective failures and/or restructurings in the U.S. and European banking sector as well as increasing pressure on the CRE market, particularly in the U.S. office sector. The Group assessment of risks and opportunities that the businesses are exposed to has not materially changed compared to the information presented in Deutsche Bank’s Annual Report 2022.

Key downside risks stem from the ongoing impacts of rising interest rates and persistently elevated inflation, the potential for further tightening of bank lending standards following the March market stress, a deterioration in the macroeconomic environment and elevated geopolitical risks.

Opportunities may arise if macroeconomic conditions improve beyond currently forecasted levels, which may lead to higher revenues and improve the Group’s ability to meet its financial targets. At the same time, higher inflation and interest rate levels and market volatility could lead to increased revenues from trading flows and higher net interest income and lending margins. Deutsche Bank could also benefit from helping clients navigate increasingly volatile financial markets. By focusing on and investing in Deutsche Bank’s areas of core strengths, including through selective acquisitions, the implementation of its strategy may create further opportunities if implemented to a greater extent or under more favourable conditions than currently anticipated.

Risks

Macroeconomic and market conditions

During the first six months of 2023, several U.S. regional banks and one major European bank either failed or were restructured leading to investor concerns over the wider banking sector. While overall banking sector fundamentals remain sound, as indicated by the recently released U.S. CCAR stress tests, and market sentiment has stabilized, recent events have increased the likelihood of a tightening of financial conditions as banks act to preserve liquidity amid higher competition for deposits and increased depositor sensitivity around concentration risks. A pronounced tightening in financial conditions would lead to higher client refinancing risks, with Commercial Real Estate and higher leveraged corporate clients among the sectors with increased risk.

Major central banks continue to tighten monetary policy despite headline inflation likely passing its peak in key economies, but core inflation remains sticky and the path towards normalization remains uncertain.

The impact of recent events on investor appetite may impact the Group’s ability to distribute and de-risk capital market commitments, which could potentially result in losses. Recent events have also increased the risk of idiosyncratic counterparty events both directly and indirectly, for example as a result of shortfalls under Lombard or securities financing transactions.

Additionally, CRE markets remain under stress from the impact of high interest rates and borrowing costs, tight lending conditions and economic headwinds. Decreasing liquidity and price discovery for CRE since the onset of the U.S. regional banking crisis has resulted in a pronounced decline in transactions, particularly in the U.S. office market with risks compounded by post-pandemic shifts in working patterns. Moreover, corporate default rates are expected to rise in 2023 and 2024 as earnings fall and higher leveraged clients face refinancing risks. As higher rates and quantitative tightening feed through the economy, further liquidity events may crystallize.

In the U.S., a debt-ceiling crisis was averted, but a shallow U.S. recession is still expected to start by the end of 2023 even though recent data suggests that disinflation could yet be achieved without a recession (‘soft landing’). The Eurozone area narrowly avoided a technical recession over the winter despite the surge in energy costs, but economic activity has been weak, particularly in manufacturing, and economic growth is likely to stagnate well into 2024. A U.S. recession and higher rates pose headwinds to Eurozone GDP growth, while tailwinds from an economic rebound in China may be more muted than expected as the recovery appears to have lost some momentum.

33

Deutsche Bank

Interim Report as of June 30, 2023

Geopolitical developments may also pose risks as the geoeconomic competition between the U.S. and China remains intense. For its part, the German government recently published its own China strategy which envisages German companies to still partake in China’s economic development whilst also encouraging diversification efforts to reduce potentially harmful concentration risks and economic dependencies on China.

Elevated interest rates may adversely affect Deutsche Bank’s planned results of operations, financial targets and costs. This may lead to increased losses, including higher provisions for credit losses, and rating downgrades across the bank’s client franchise leading to credit risk RWA inflation. More persistent inflation and higher terminal interest rates could also dampen consumer spending and private client investments and lead to a reduction in new lending for consumer finance and/or private mortgages.

Political risks

Amidst the continued war in Ukraine, further sanctions packages have been introduced since the end of 2022. New sanctions, as well as countermeasures by the Russian government, increase differences between the local application / implementation of relevant requirements by Deutsche Bank Moscow and the Deutsche Bank Group. Against this backdrop, the Russian government and economy could further resort to activity aimed at circumventing the sanctions imposed, intentionally or unwittingly facilitated through economic operators in the West. Such activity may unfold in part especially within countries which maintain a neutral stance towards Russia and the West. It may be challenging for the bank to identify such activity and protect the bank against the potential regulatory and reputational impacts of such illicit activity in all cases.Against the challenging sanctions backdrop, banks may also be dragged into economic disputes of counterparties which could result in costs or losses which would not occur in the normal course of business.

Strategy

While the Group continuously plans and adapts to changing situations, it runs the risk that a significant deterioration in the global operating environment, an adverse change in market confidence in the banking sector and/or client behavior, as well as higher competition could lead the Group to miss its publicly communicated targets. As such it may incur unexpected losses including further impairments and provisions, experience lower than planned profitability or an erosion of the Group’s capital and funding base, leading to a material adverse effect on Deutsche Bank’s results of operations and share price.

The financial results of the bank could be adversely impacted if anticipated benefits from mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, strategic partnerships and other investments do not materialize. At the same time, any integration process will require significant time and resources, and the bank may not be able to manage the process successfully. On April 28, 2023, the bank announced the acquisition of Numis Corporation PLC. If the acquisition does not materialize in accordance with the terms of the agreement, the bank could be exposed to regulatory action, litigation, reputational or adverse financial impacts.

Continued volatility in the markets in which the bank operates could exacerbate the risk that the bank could miss publicly announced targets and objectives, including its CET1 ratio objective of circa 200 basis points above the bank’s Maximum Distributable Amount (MDA) threshold as highlighted in the “Outlook” section of this report.

Liquidity and funding risks

Deutsche Bank retained investment grade ratings with all leading credit rating agencies through the end of June 2023 and does not expect that recent banking sector events will have a negative impact on its credit ratings. In contrast, the bank’s credit ratings remain on an upward trajectory. In June 2023, DBRS Morningstar upgraded Deutsche Bank’s Long-Term Issuer Rating and Long-Term Deposit Rating to A (Stable). This was in addition to S&P’s announcement in May 2023 to raise the bank’s credit ratings outlook from Stable to Positive, reaffirming the bank’s issuer credit rating at A-. In early July 2023, Fitch Ratings also upgraded its principal ratings for Deutsche Bank with the Issuer Default rating now at A-.

Early repayments and maturing of the Targeted Longer Term Refinancing Operations (TLTRO) in the second quarter of 2023 contributed to the reduction in ECB’s balance sheet, leading to a net liquidity absorbing effect and higher funding costs for European banks. Additionally, central banks continue to raise interest rates, and quantitative tightening will reduce the size of their balance sheets. This in turn is placing pressure on the bank’s funding capabilities and could lead to elevated borrowing costs (especially for short term funding).

34

Deutsche Bank

Interim Report as of June 30, 2023

At the same time, a further downturn in the macro-economic environment could lead to reduced savings rates and a decline in levels of deposits. Changes in allocation of surplus liquidity by material counterparties may also affect Deutsche bank’s liquidity position. This effect could be further exacerbated by competitive pricing pressures from other deposit-taking institutions, as well as any broader counterparty concerns about exposures to certain segments of the banking sector.

Following the market events in the first quarter of 2023, the risk environment has stabilized after a period of uncertainty and volatility. Deutsche Bank’s credit spreads increased during the first quarter market volatility, but they have normalized materially in the second quarter of 2023. Key liquidity metrics remained well above regulatory minimum requirements throughout the year, providing a strong basis to manage through volatile markets. Although the geopolitical and economic environment could have an adverse impact on Deutsche Bank’s credit spread levels, liquidity metrics or the bank’s rating in the future.

Regulatory supervisory reforms, assessments and proceedings

The European Commission had previously announced a review of the EU macroprudential regime and a review of the EU securitization regime, and more technical aspects of securitization, for 2022-2023. Deutsche Bank now understands that these reviews will not take place within the envisaged timeline. However, more limited changes may be pursued in connection with the comprehensive package of reforms with respect to European Union banking rules (commonly referred to as “CRR III” and “CRD VI”). Such reforms could result in an increase of the bank’s level of capital requirements, including capital buffers, additional capital requirements for securitizations or an increase in risk-weighted assets.

In April 2023, the European Commission issued a legislative proposal for reform of the EU crisis management and deposit insurance framework, with amendments to all relevant Directives and Regulations, including the Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive, the Single Resolution Mechanism Regulation and the Deposit Guarantee Scheme Directive. The purpose of the legislative proposal is, among other, to further harmonize and regulate the crisis management and resolution of small- and medium-sized EU banks, which is currently subject to some degree of national discretion. In its legislative proposal the Commission includes several changes that could impact Deutsche Bank and its clients, including a change in the insolvency hierarchy of claims of all depositors, including those uninsured by deposit guarantee schemes. Also, the proposals provide for an expanded possibility by authorities to use the funds of national deposit guarantee scheme to contribute to the resolution of a bank, and thus giving also access to the Single Resolution Fund. This European Commission legislative proposal will now follow the regular EU co-legislative process, with the involvement of the EU 27 Member States and the European Parliament. The finalization of the revised directives and regulation may take several years, depending on the ability of the co-legislators to reach a compromise, and could differ significantly from the original Commission proposal.

On June 28, 2023, the European Commission published two legislative packages. One linked to the introduction of a digital euro, the other on financial data access and payments. The European Parliament and EU Member States are now to discuss both packages. It is expected that the final legal text will only be agreed after the European Parliaments elections of June 2024.

Focus in Europe is moving more towards transition finance. The European Commission has published a report that provides high level guidance on these issues. The concept of transition finance, and its development brings with it certain uncertainties for banks. In addition, the detailed framework on taxonomies that has been put in place by European legislators will likely be reviewed by the European Commission. It is expected that the next European Commission will include both elements in its work programme for 2025 to 2029.

On December 7, 2022, the Commission published a legislative proposal for a refit of the European Market Infrastructure Regulation. This proposal is currently in discussion among the Council (representing Member States) and the European Parliament with negotiations between the co-legislators expected to start later in 2023.

For Indian Central Counterparties (CCPs), no Memorandum of Understanding was signed between the European Securities and Markets Authority and Indian authorities before the deadline of April 30, 2023, which resulted in six Indian CCPs being derecognized in the EU The BaFin has published a statement on February 17, 2023, allowing German credit institutions, including Deutsche Bank, the possibility to remain members of the six India CCPs for a maximum period of 18 months, up until October 31, 2024.

35

Deutsche Bank

Interim Report as of June 30, 2023

Compliance and Anti-Financial Crime risks

In July 2023, the bank entered into a Consent Order and Written Agreement with the Federal Reserve resolving previously disclosed regulatory discussions concerning adherence to prior orders and settlements related to sanctions and embargoes and AML compliance, and remedial agreements and obligations related to risk management issues. Both the Consent Order and Written Agreement require the bank to comply with and effectuate certain remedial undertakings. To the extent the Bank does not comply with such undertakings, it may face additional regulatory action, including further civil monetary penalties and business restrictions.

Risk management policies, procedures and methods as well as operational risks

In the banking industry, divergence continues in how financial institutions define portfolio types and asset classes including around ESG-related themes. There are often no industry or universally accepted definitions, particularly with respect to assets intended to be classified as Green or ESG-compliant, and these can be driven by differences between a risk management and accounting view. These variances could impact the way external stakeholders assess the underlying risk exposures to such portfolio types and asset classes. If losses would exceed market expectations in a certain portfolio type or asset class, this could impact the bank’s reputation and adversely affect Deutsche Bank’s planned results of operations and financial targets.

Third Party Risk

The regulatory framework for managing third party risk continues to evolve and becomes increasingly complex as regulators seek to address various objectives. There are two main areas of focus including how financial institutions manage their third-party risks and how to address the systemic risks caused by concentration of services provided by critical third parties.

For example, the European Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) package which entered into force on January 16, 2023, expands the EU framework for third party risk management by introducing further monitoring, reporting, testing and oversight requirements (among others) applicable to EU financial institutions in respect of services carried out by their third-party Information Communication Technologies service providers. The DORA legislative package will apply from January 17, 2025 and will complement pre-existing EU “outsourcing” requirements applicable to the financial services sector. The UK regulators are also in the process of developing the Critical Third-Party regime to promote resilience across all critical third parties in the UK. Further, the Financial Stability Board has recently launched a consultation on a “toolkit for enhancing third-party risk management and oversight” and makes a number of recommendations including calling for greater convergence of supervisory frameworks.

Geopolitical risk developments are also leading to increased scrutiny towards technology providers from third countries and growing localization requirements.

When using third-party service providers the bank remains fully responsible and accountable for complying with all of the regulatory obligations, including the ability to oversee the outsourcing of critical or important functions. The bank may face risks of material losses or reputational damage if third parties fail to provide services as agreed with the bank and/or in line with regulatory requirements.

Technology, data and innovation

Major technology transformations in the bank’s business and infrastructure areas are executed via dedicated initiatives. One of these initiatives, project Unity, aims at simplifying the bank’s IT environment through the migration of Postbank clients onto the IT systems of Deutsche Bank.

The last migration wave of project Unity occurred in July 2023 and included the remaining loan portfolios with respective credit loss allowances. Subsequent to the transfer, all Postbank clients and products will be migrated to the Deutsche Bank IT Infrastructure. However, migration related risks could still have an impact including but not limited to (1) downstream data quality which could require correction and subsequently impact credit loss allowances, (2) resource shortage for collection activities as staff training on Deutsche Bank IT Infrastructure continues, (3) delayed reviews of problem loans which may impact the development of provision for credit losses in the second half of 2023 and (4) reduced capabilities to support new business and therefore impact future earnings potential.

The bank continues to closely observe the global geopolitical landscape for any emerging threats related to security of the bank´s operations and information. In addition, the bank’s security threat intelligence function also monitors relevant industry trends and developments, including, e.g., Artificial Intelligence and Quantum Computing.

36

Deutsche Bank

Interim Report as of June 30, 2023

Environmental, social and governance

While Deutsche Bank remains committed to the targets outlined in its Sustainability Deep Dive on March 2, 2023, the bank may face headwinds in achieving its aim for € 500 billion in cumulative ESG financing and investment volumes through the end of 2025. If ambitions or targets are missed, this could impact, among other things, revenues and the reputation of the bank.

Opportunities

Macroeconomic and market conditions

An improvement in macroeconomic conditions beyond currently forecasted levels including a possible soft landing of the US economy could result in higher than planned revenues. The continued increases in interest rates and elevated market volatility observed in the first quarter of 2023 also present opportunities including increased revenues from higher trading flows as private, corporate and institutional customers reposition their portfolios and higher net interest income.

Strategy

The bank continues to pursue the Group strategy of targeted growth and to become the first point of call for all clients of the bank, addressing the full range of their financial needs as their Global Hausbank.

On April 28, 2023, the bank announced the intention to acquire Numis Corporation PLC which aims to establish a prominent position across UK corporate broking and strategic advisory. The acquisition may benefit the bank with opportunities to grow market share, profitability, and client base across the UK region.

Ongoing market volatility continues to present opportunities for the bank to accelerate talent acquisition and wider growth initiatives, target market share gains and undertake acquisitions that are in line with stated Group strategy. More broadly, labor market conditions started to normalize at the end of 2022. Attrition rates in the first half of 2023 were significantly below the first half of 2022 across all regions and below the first half of 2019 pre-COVID, resulting in more stability across the franchise.

Technology, data and innovation

Digital innovation offers various opportunities to increase monetization on existing customers and acquire new customer groups by expanding the Group’s own portfolio of products and engaging in product partnerships with third parties, thereby potentially benefiting from a shorter time-to-market. Recent developments in artificial intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI and Large Language Models are an area of significant potential for Deutsche Bank’s operational efficiency and revenue growth. The bank is also collaborating with Google on the early adoption of new AI technologies and on ‘Responsible AI’ for the banking industry. The Bank is experimenting with such technologies in a prudent and responsible way to ensure it understands and mitigates risks that may arise before such technologies are deployed into production. The Group’s global reach allows it to scale products quickly and efficiently across geographies. At the same time, the bank’s customers will benefit from products and services being developed and brought to market more quickly in the future.

Environmental, social and governance

As outlined in Deutsche Bank’s Sustainability Deep Dive on March 2, 2023, the transition to a lower carbon economy presents multiple opportunities to support clients on their pathways to net zero through the provision of sustainable finance and transition expertise. Coupled with the active management of the Group’s carbon footprint via its net zero target regime, this can lead to both revenue opportunities as well as improved stakeholder perceptions.

¹Comparatives aligned to current presentation

The RWA of Deutsche Bank were € 358.8 billion as of June 30, 2023, compared to € 360.0 billion at the end of 2022. The decrease of € 1.2 billion was driven by market risk RWA, which was partially offset by credit risk RWA and credit valuation adjustment (CVA) RWA. The reduction in market risk RWA by € 3.7 billion was primarily driven by decreases in the Value-at-Risk and Stressed Value-at-Risk components due to a lower Capital Multiplier, following a reduction in the qualitative and quantitative components. Exposure changes also led to a lower Stressed Value-at-Risk but a higher Incremental Risk Charge that partially offset each other. The increase in credit risk RWA by € 2.0 billion was primarily driven by growth within the Investment Bank and Asset Management, an increase in exposure within Corporate & Other as well as impacts from rating migration. The increase in credit risk RWA was partially offset by foreign exchange movements, a relief from synthetic securitizations in the Corporate Bank and lower RWA for deferred tax assets. The increase in credit valuation adjustment (CVA) RWA by € 0.4 billion was mainly driven by certain clients no longer being exempt including pension funds.

² Includes capital deductions of € 1.3 billion (Dec 2022: € 1.2 billion) based on ECB guidance on irrevocable payment commitments related to the Single Resolution Fund and the Deposit Guarantee Scheme, € 1.1 billion (Dec 2022: € 1 billion) based on ECB’s supervisory recommendation for a prudential provisioning of non-performing exposures, € 1.3 million (Dec 2022 € 7.4 million) resulting from minimum value commitments as per Article 36 (1)(n) of the CRR and CET 1 decrease of € 0 million (Dec 2022: € 14.7 million) from IFRS 9 transitional provision as per Article 473a of the CRR

As of June 30, 2023, Deutsche Bank´s CET1 capital ratio increased to 13.8% compared to 13.4% as of December 31, 2022. The increase of 39 basis points is mainly driven by higher CET1 capital and partially by decreased RWA due to the aforementioned developments. CET1 capital increased by € 1.3 billion compared to year end 2022 which was mainly the result of the net profit of € 2.2 billion for the first half of the year 2023, partially offset by regulatory deductions for future common share dividend and AT1 coupon payments of € 0.5 billion which is in line with the ECB Decision (EU) (2015/656) on the recognition of interim or year-end profits in CET1 capital in accordance with the Article 26(2) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 (ECB/2015/4). In addition, CET1 capital increased as a result of positive impacts from € 0.3 billion unrealized gains and losses from financial instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (mainly stemming from € 0.2 billion reduced unrealized net losses on securities available for sale and € 0.1 billion reduced unrealized net losses on cash flow derivatives hedging).

These positive impacts were partly offset by € 0.2 billion defined benefit pension fund assets deduction and € 0.1 billion capital deductions based on ECB guidance on irrevocable payment commitments related to the Single Resolution Fund and the Deposit Guarantee Scheme. Additionally, CET 1 capital decreased due to currency translation adjustments of € 0.5 billion net of foreign exchange counter-effects of capital deduction items of € 0.1 billion.

Economic capital adequacy ratio and economic capital

The economic capital adequacy ratio was 223% as of June 30, 2023, compared to 239% as of December 31, 2022. The decrease was mainly driven by the increase in economic capital demand, which was partly offset by the increase in economic capital supply.

The economic capital demand amounted to € 22.8 billion as of June 30, 2023, compared to € 20.9 billion as of December 31, 2022. The increase of € 1.9 billion was mainly driven by the economic capital demand for credit risk and market risk.The economic capital demand for credit risk increased by € 1.3 billion primarily driven by the increase in exposures in the Investment Bank and the newly added placeholder for climate risk.The economic capital demand for market risk increased by € 0.7 billion primarily driven by the increase in long USD FX exposures, a model adjustment related to liquidity horizons and higher credit inventory in the Investment Bank.

The economic capital supply amounted to € 50.9 billion as of June 30, 2023, compared to € 50.0 billion as of December 31, 2022. The increase of € 0.9 billion was primarily driven by positive net income of € 2.2 billion and lower capital deductions of € 0.3 billion from deferred tax assets, which was partly offset by currency translation adjustments of € 0.7 billion, deductions for future common share dividend and AT1 coupon payments of € 0.5 billion, decrease in stock awards of € 0.3 billion and higher capital deduction of € 0.2 billion from defined benefit pension fund assets.

Leverage ratio and leverage exposure

A minimum leverage ratio requirement of 3% was introduced effective starting with June 28, 2021. Starting with January 1, 2023, an additional leverage ratio buffer requirement of 50% of the applicable G-SII buffer rate applies. This additional requirement equals 0.75% for Deutsche Bank.

As of June 30, 2023, the leverage ratio was 4.7% compared to 4.6% as of December 31, 2022. This takes into account a Tier 1 capital of € 57.7 billion over an applicable exposure measure of € 1,236 billion as of June 30, 2023 (€ 56.6 billion and € 1,240 billion as of December 31, 2022, respectively).

In the first half of 2023 the leverage exposure decreased by € 4 billion to € 1,236 billion, largely driven by the leverage exposure for the asset items not related to derivatives and secured financing transactions (SFTs) which decreased by € 5 billion. This reflects the development of the balance sheet (for additional information please refer to section “Movements in assets and liabilities” in this report): decreases in cash and central bank/interbank balances by € 16 billion and loans by € 6 billion were partly offset by increases in non-derivative trading assets by € 15 billion and pending settlements by € 5 billion on a net basis (€ 23 billion on a gross basis from seasonally low year-end levels); the remaining asset items not outlined separately decreased by € 3 billion. In addition, off-balance sheet leverage exposures decreased by € 3 billion corresponding to lower notional amounts for financial guarantees. Furthermore, the leverage exposure related to derivatives decreased by € 2 billion. These decreases were partly offset by SFT-related items (securities purchased under resale agreements, securities borrowed and receivables from prime brokerage) which increased by € 6 billion, in line with the development on the balance sheet.

The decrease in leverage exposure in the first half of 2023 included a negative foreign exchange impact of € 13 billion, mainly due to the weakening of the U.S. Dollar versus the Euro. The effects from foreign exchange rate movements are embedded in the movement of the leverage exposure items discussed in this section.

MREL ratio development

As of June 30, 2023, available MREL were € 121.3 billion, corresponding to a ratio of 33.80% of RWA. This means that Deutsche Bank has a surplus of € 12.5 billion above the Group’s MREL requirement of € 108.8 billion (i.e. 30.33% of RWA including combined buffer requirement). € 114.4 billion of the Group’s available MREL were own funds and subordinated liabilities, corresponding to a MREL subordination ratio of 31.88% of RWA, a buffer of € 25.9 billion over the Group’s subordination requirement of € 88.5 billion (i.e. 24.66% of RWA including combined buffer requirement). Compared to December 31, 2022, available MREL and subordinated MREL reduced primarily due to a new deduction rule for general prior permission amounts which entered into force on May 9, 2023. At the same time, the MREL requirement increased by higher countercyclical and systemic risk buffer requirements applicable in Germany and higher requirements set by the Single Resolution Board.

TLAC ratio development

As of June 30, 2023, TLAC was € 114.4 billion and the corresponding TLAC ratios were 31.88% of RWA and 9.25% of LRE. This means that Deutsche Bank has a comfortable TLAC surplus of € 30.9 billion over its TLAC requirement of € 83.4 billion (6.75% of LRE).

Liquidity coverage ratio

The Group’s Liquidity Coverage Ratio was 137% as of June 30, 2023, or € 55 billion of excess over the regulatory minimum of 100%. This compares to 142%, or € 64 billion of excess liquidity at December 31, 2022.The decrease is primarily related to TLTRO repayment, buy back of senior non preferred issuances and Tier 2 issuance calls with other offsetting business movements.

Stressed net liquidity position

The Group's internal eight week stressed Net Liquidity Position decreased to € 40.9 billion as of June 30, 2023 from € 48.1 billion as of December 31, 2022. The decrease was primarily on account of TLTRO repayment, buy back of senior non preferred issuances and Tier 2 issuance call offset by other business movements.

Net Stable Funding Ratio

The Group’s Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) as of June 30, 2023, was 119% or a surplus of € 97 billion over the regulatory minimum of 100%. This compares to 120%, or a surplus of € 99 billion over the regulatory minimum of 100% as of December 31, 2022. The decrease was primarily on account of TLTRO repayment, buy back of senior non preferred issuances and Tier 2 issuance call offset by other business movements.

IFRS 9 Impairment

Model overview

During the first half of 2023, Deutsche Bank continued to apply the same IFRS 9 impairment model and methodologies, key assumptions and risk management activities as disclosed in the Annual Report 2022.

In July 2023, the Group completed the migration of Postbank clients into the IT systems of Deutsche Bank through its project Unity, which will impact Deutsche Bank’s application of the IFRS 9 impairment model and methodologies thereafter. As outlined in the Annual Report 2022, the Group leverages existing models used for the determination of capital demand under the Basel Internal Ratings Based Approach and internal risk management practices to calculate ECL. Deutsche Bank has applied specific models for Postbank clients, which will be partially decommissioned after the migration and the Deutsche Bank infrastructure will be used going forward. In the first half of 2023, two migrations waves were successfully executed and resulted in an immaterial impact on the Group’s credit loss allowances. The last wave of the migration in July 2023 will include the German mortgages and consumer finance portfolios. See details on potential migration related risks in section Risks and Opportunities of this report.

The section below focuses on the latest developments and uncertainties in the first half of 2023 and their consideration in the bank’s expected credit loss (ECL) calculation, along with the bank’s ongoing credit risk management activities and governance framework. These activities include, but are not limited to, regular emerging risk reviews as well as portfolio deep dives, day to day risk management on the level of individual borrowers, and regular model validations. The Group also considers each reporting period if there are any potential model imprecision or uncertainties not included in the model that require an overlay. Lastly, the Group presents a sensitivity analysis for one of the key inputs into the IFRS 9 model (i.e., forward looking macroeconomic variables).

Forward-looking information

The tables below contain the macroeconomic variables (MEV’s) included in the application of forward-looking information in the IFRS 9 model as of June 30, 2023 and as of December 31, 2022. At each reporting date, the consensus data included the latest macroeconomic developments and no overlays were required.

Focus areas in second quarter of 2023

Commercial Real Estate

Commercial Real Estate (CRE) markets continue to face headwinds due to the impacts of rising interest rates, decreasing market liquidity combined with tightened lending conditions which have an additional negative impact in particular to the US office market. The combination of risk factors leads to higher refinancing risk for maturing loans as some transactions may have to be adjusted to qualify for an extension to ensure appropriate debt service coverage and loan-to-value (LTV) ratios.

The CRE portfolio across the Group consists of financing/lending arrangements that are recourse and non-recourse financing, across various parts of the Group and client segments. While the exact definition of what constitutes a CRE exposure is subjective, the Group’s CRE portfolio includes exposures reported under the Main Credit Exposure Categories by Industry Sectors for Real Estate Activities NACE was € 49.8 billion and € 48.0 billion as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Please refer to “Risk Report” in the Combined Management Report in the Annual Report 2022.

44

Deutsche Bank

Interim Report as of June 30, 2023

Exposures reported under Real Estate Activities NACE which are recourse CRE financing have an inherently lower risk profile as they typically benefit from recourse to creditworthy entities or individuals, in addition to mortgage collateral, with internal ratings based on the financial strength of the guaranteeing entities / individuals. Exposures range from secured recourse lending to property companies, secured recourse lending to Wealth Management clients, as well as private and corporate clients for business or commercial properties.

Non-recourse financings are subject to increased risk since sources of repayment are typically limited to the cash flows generated by the financed property and the ability to refinance may be constrained by the underlying property value and income stream generated by such property at the time of refinancing. Non-recourse exposures reported under Real Estate Activities (NACE) was € 25.8 billion and € 24.8 billion as of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Based on Deutsche Bank’s definition of non-recourse CRE loans, the total non-recourse portfolio as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, amounted to € 40.1 billion and € 38.9 billion, respectively, which included exposures not reported under the Real Estate Activities (NACE). These non-recourse portfolios are primarily in the core CRE business units of the Investment Bank and Corporate Bank, with additional smaller portfolios added across other business units.

Amidst interest rate hikes commencing in 2022 and real estate market stresses increasing, the Group has been proactively working with borrowers to address upcoming maturities in the non-recourse portfolio. One of the key mitigants to refinancing risks remains that Deutsche Bank is primarily lending to strong institutional sponsors with significant equity invested in the financed properties.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, and June 30, 2022, the total provision for credit losses for the total non-recourse CRE financing portfolio was € 109 million (2022: € 20 million) and € 143 million (2022: € 31 million), respectively. As of June 30, 2023, 17 % and 5 % of the exposure were in Stage 2 and Stage 3, and 14 %and 4 % as of December 31, 2022, respectively.

To obtain a more comprehensive understanding of potential downside risks, Deutsche Bank has run a severe stress test on a subset of the non-recourse financing portfolio deemed higher risk, which includes all non-recourse loans except for sub-portfolios subject to different risk drivers such as data centers and municipal social housing. As of June 30, 2023, the stress-tested non-recourse portfolio amounted to € 32.9 billion of the € 40.1 billion non-recourse portfolio, based on Deutsche Bank’s definition.

This portfolio is diversified by property type, with the largest concentration of 41 % in Office space, while Hospitality and Retail account for 11 % and 9 %, respectively as of June 30, 2023 and 41 %, 11 % and 9 % as of December 31, 2022. Weighted average loan-to-value (LTV) is around 63 % in the Investment Bank, 52 % in the Corporate Bank, and 58 % in other business units as of June 30, 2023 and 62 %, 53 % and 56 % as of December 31, 2022. From a regional perspective, 55 % of the portfolio is in the US, 37 % in Europe, and 8 % in the APAC region as of June 30, 2023 and 55 %, 39 % and 7 % as of December 31, 2022, respectively, with loan originations primarily focused on larger, institutional quality assets in more liquid primary markets.

As of June 30, 2023, the Group considered the impact of its severe stress scenario on higher-risk non-recourse CRE loans focused on property values. The stress scenario applied additional haircuts ranging from 10 %-25 % on top of the observed market index decline for each property type assuming a liquidation scenario. Based on these assumptions, such a severe stress could result in approximately € 800 million of additional credit losses spread over multiple years, which would equate to 16bps of the total loan book. The likelihood and magnitude of occurrence will depend on the developments of the CRE markets, particularly in the US, and depend on the exposure specific fundamentals which allow a borrower to refinance. It is important to emphasize that this stress scenario is only an estimation and does not assume additional sponsor support, which could significantly reduce the actual expected credit losses.

Residential Real Estate

The Group’s Residential Real Estate portfolio consists of mainly private client mortgage loans which are regularly repaid and fully recourse. The majority of these loans are in Germany where mortgage loans have a long-fixed period. Current unemployment rates in Germany, Italy and Spain are stable so there is no major increase in risk related to private clients.

In instances where Deutsche Bank has identified counterparties where credit quality has or is expected to deteriorate to the point where they present a heightened risk of default / loss, the respective counterparty is placed on the watchlist, and the counterparty is generally transferred to Stage 2. Deutsche Bank aims to identify those counterparties well in advance of payment issues materializing and continues to refine its early warning capabilities to support the identification of vulnerable clients or portfolios.

Interim Report as of June 30, 2023

Overall Assessment of ECL’s

To ensure that Deutsche Bank’s ECL model accounted for the uncertainties in the macroeconomic environment throughout the second quarter and first half of 2023, the Group continued to review emerging risks, assessed potential baseline and downside impacts and required actions to manage the bank’s credit strategy and risk appetite. The outcome of these reviews concluded that the bank adequately provisioned for its expected credit losses as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Results from the above reviews and development of key portfolio indicators are regularly discussed at the Credit Risk Appetite and Management Forum and Group Risk Committee. Where necessary, actions and measures are taken to mitigate the risks. Client ratings are regularly reviewed to reflect the latest macroeconomic developments and where potentially significant risks are identified clients are moved to the watchlist (Stage 2), forbearance measures may be negotiated, and credit limits and collateralization are reviewed. Overall, the Group believes that based on its day-to-day risk management activities and regular reviews of emerging risks it has adequately provided for its ECL.

Overlays applied to the IFRS 9 model output

The Group regularly reviews the IFRS 9 methodology and processes, key inputs into the ECL calculation and discusses upcoming model changes, potential model imprecisions or other estimation uncertainties, for example in the macroeconomic environment to determine if any material overlays are required. As of June 30, 2023, the Group did not identify any additional downside risks not reflected in the IFRS 9 ECL model or other material model imprecisions that would require an additional overlay other than the existing € 92 million overlay related to the new definition of default as disclosed in the Annual Report 2022.

Model sensitivity

The Group has identified three key model assumptions included in the IFRS 9 model. These include forward looking macroeconomic variables, the quantitative criteria for determining if a borrower has incurred a significant increase in credit risk and transferred to Stage 2, and the LGD setting on homogenous portfolios in Stage 3. Below the bank provides sensitivity analysis on the potential impact on forward looking macroeconomic variables, if these key assumptions applied in the ECL model were to deviate from the bank’s base case expectations. The sensitivity of the quantitative criteria for determining if a borrower has incurred a significant increase in credit risk and transferred to Stage 2 and the LGD setting on homogenous portfolios in Stage 3 have not materially changed versus amounts disclosed in the Annual Report 2022.

Macroeconomic Variables

The sensitivity of the ECL model with respect to potential changes in projections for key MEVs is shown in the tables below, which provides ECL impacts for Stages 1 and 2 from one sigma downward and upward shifts applied separately to each group of MEV as of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022. A sigma shift is a standard deviation used in statistics and probability calculations and is a measure of the dispersion of the values of a random variable. Each of these groups consists of MEVs from the same category:

• – GDP growth rates: includes USA, Eurozone, Germany, Italy, Developing Asia, Emerging Markets
• – Unemployment rates: includes USA, Eurozone, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain
• – Equities: S&P500, Nikkei, MSCI Asia
• – Credit spreads: ITX Europe 125, High Yield Index, CDX IG, CDX High Yield, CDX Emerging Markets
• – Real Estate: Commercial Real Estate Price Index
• – Commodities: WTI oil price, Gold price

Although interest rates and inflation are not separately included in the MEVs above, the economic impact of these risks is reflected in other macroeconomic variables, such as GDP growth rates, unemployment, equities and credit spreads as higher rates and inflation would filter through these forecasts and be included in the ECL model and sensitivity analysis below.

In addition, the sensitivity analysis only includes the impact of the aggregated MEV group (i.e., potential correlation between different MEV groups or the impact of management overlays is not taken into consideration). ECLs for Stage 3 are not affected and not reflected in the following tables as its calculation is independent of the macroeconomic scenarios.

Sensitivity impact is slightly lower as of June 30, 2023, compared to December 31, 2022, due to portfolio changes and minor improvements of base MEV projections which the analyses were based on.

IFRS 9 Expected Credit Losses

In the first six months of 2023, provision for credit losses was € 773 million, which is higher than the € 525 million recorded for the same period in 2022 and was mainly driven by the Private Bank which recorded credit loss provisions of € 414 million. This includes two larger Stage 3 events in the International Private Bank of € 118 million in total which occurred in the first quarter of 2023.

For the second quarter the Group reported credit loss provisions of € 401 million significantly higher than the € 233 million in the second quarter of 2022. The quarter over quarter increase was mainly driven by increased provisioning levels across all businesses in a less favorable macroeconomic environment with Commercial Real Estate as one of the main drivers in the Investment Bank and German MidCaps in the Corporate Bank, while Private Bank returned to rather normalized provisioning levels.

Stage 1 and Stage 2 provisions increased in the second quarter of 2023 by € 63 million compared to € 52 million increase recorded in the same period in 2022, which was driven by portfolio and rating changes especially in the Investment Bank, most notably in CRE.

Stage 3 provisions increased in the second quarter of 2023 to € 338 million compared to € 181 million recorded for the same period in 2022. This was primarily driven by an increased number of impairment events across all businesses with Commercial Real Estate as main driver in the Investment Bank, while Corporate Bank was mainly affected by higher provisions in German MidCaps, across various sectors.

In regard to the business segments, Corporate Bank recorded credit loss provisions of € 117 million in the second quarter of 2023 versus € 56 million in the second quarter of 2022. The Investment Bank recorded € 141 million credit loss provisions in the second quarter of 2023 versus € 72 million in the second quarter of 2022. Private Bank recorded credit loss provisions of € 147 million in the second quarter of 2023 versus € 96 million reported in the second quarter of 2022 which was benefitting from portfolio sales.

Exposure to Russia

As disclosed in the Annual Report 2022, Deutsche Bank continues to have limited exposure to Russia. The following table provides an overview of total Russian exposures, including overnight deposits with the Central Bank of Russia in the amount of € 0.7 billion as of June 30, 2023 (€ 0.8 billion as of December 31, 2022) and other receivables, which are subject to IFRS 9 impairment, and correspondent allowance for credit losses by stages as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

⁵ At February 28, 2023, Deutsche Bank cancelled 27 million of its common shares. The cancellation reduced the nominal value of the shares by € 68 million. The cancelled shares had been held in common shares in treasury, at their acquisition cost of € 300 million. The difference between the common shares at cost and their nominal value has reduced additional paid-in capital by € 232 million.

Deutsche Bank

Interim Report as of June 30, 2023

Basis of preparation/impact of changes in accounting principles

The consolidated interim financial statements of Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft, Taunusanlage 12, Frankfurt am Main, Germany and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Group” or “Deutsche Bank”) for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, are stated in euros, the presentation currency of the Group. It has been prepared based on the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and endorsed by the European Union (EU). The consolidated interim financial statements take particular account of the requirements of IAS 34 relating to interim financial reporting.

The Group’s consolidated interim financial statements are unaudited and include the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2023, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, as well as other information.

The Group’s consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of Deutsche Bank for the year ended December 31, 2022, for which the same accounting policies, critical accounting estimates and changes in accounting estimates have been applied with the exception of the newly adopted accounting pronouncements outlined in section “Recently adopted accounting pronouncements”.

The Group applies fair value hedge accounting for portfolio hedges of interest rate risk (fair value macro hedges) in accordance with the EU carve out version of IAS 39. The purpose of applying the EU carve out version of IAS 39 is to align the Group’s hedge accounting approach with its risk management practice and the accounting practice of its major European peers. Under the EU carve out version of IAS 39 fair value macro hedge accounting may be applied to core deposits. In addition, the EU carve out version of IAS 39 hedge ineffectiveness is only recognized when the revised estimate of the amount of cash flows in scheduled time buckets falls below the original designated amount of that bucket. If the revised amount of cash flows in scheduled time buckets is more than the original designated amount then there is no hedge ineffectiveness. Under IFRS as issued by the IASB, hedge accounting for fair value macro hedges cannot be applied to core deposits. In addition, under IFRS as issued by the IASB hedge ineffectiveness arises for all fair value macro hedge accounting relationships whenever the revised estimate of the amount of cash flows in scheduled time buckets is either more or less than the original designated amount of that bucket.

The application of the EU carve out version of IAS 39 had a positive impact of € 250 million on profit before tax and of € 177 million on profit after tax for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, compared to a negative impact of € 910 million on profit before taxes and of € 717 million on profit post taxes for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022. The application of the EU carve out version of IAS 39 had a positive impact of € 346 million on profit before tax and of € 247 million on profit after tax for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, compared to a negative impact of € 1 billion on profit before taxes and of € 823 million on profit post taxes for the three-month period ended June 30, 2022. The Group’s regulatory capital and ratios thereof are also reported on the basis of the EU carve-out version of IAS 39. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, application of the EU carve-out had a positive impact on the CET1 capital ratio of about 5 basis points and a negative impact of about 19 basis points for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022.

The preparation of financial information under IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions for certain categories of assets and liabilities. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from management’s estimates, especially in relation to potential impacts from the rise in inflation and resulting increases in interest rates since the start of the war in Ukraine, and the results reported should not be regarded as necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year.

As of January 1, 2023, the Group discontinued its COVID-19 related disclosures based on recent regulatory and accounting guidance and its own assessment that such specific disclosures are no longer relevant.

The Group has considered the war in Ukraine and its impact on the financial statements. Further details on the related risks, exposures and the impact on financial instrument impairment can be found in the sections, “IFRS 9 impairment” and “Exposure to Russia”.

Deutsche Bank

Interim Report as of June 30, 2023

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

The following are those accounting pronouncements which are relevant to the Group, and which have been newly applied in the first six months of 2023.

IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts”

On January 1, 2023, the Group adopted IFRS 17, “Insurance Contracts”, which establishes the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of insurance contracts within the scope of the standard. IFRS 17 replaced IFRS 4 which has given companies dispensation to carry on accounting for insurance contracts using national accounting standards, resulting in a multitude of different approaches. IFRS 17 solves the comparison problems created by IFRS 4 by requiring all insurance contracts to be accounted for in a consistent manner, benefiting both investors and insurance companies. Insurance obligations will be accounted for using current values – instead of historical cost. The information will be updated regularly, providing more useful information to users of financial statements. Based on the Group’s current business activities IFRS 17 did not have a material impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements. Therefore, the Group does not provide the transition related disclosures under IFRS 17.

On January 1, 2023, the Group also adopted amendments to IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts” that (1) addressed concerns and implementation challenges that were identified after IFRS 17 was published in 2017 and (2) narrow-scope amendments to the transition requirements of IFRS 17 for entities that first apply IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 at the same time. Neither of these amendments had a material impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

IAS 12 “Income Taxes”

On January 1, 2023, the Group adopted amendments to IAS 12 “Income Taxes”. These amendments changed the deferred tax treatment related to assets and liabilities in a single transaction such that they introduce an exemption from the initial recognition exemption provided in IAS 12.15(b) and IAS 12.24. Accordingly, the initial recognition exemption does not apply to transactions in which both deductible and taxable temporary differences arise on initial recognition that result in the recognition of equal deferred tax assets and liabilities. Neither of these amendments had a material impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2021, the Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) issued Global Anti-Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) Rules under the Pillar 2 Framework. In May 2023, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 12 “Income Taxes” to introduce a mandatory temporary exception to the accounting for deferred taxes arising from the implementation of Pillar 2 model rules and disclosure requirements. The application of the exception outlined above has to be applied immediately with the disclosure requirements to be effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. The mandatory temporary exception has been applied and there has been no impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”

On January 1, 2023, the Group adopted amendments to IAS 1 and “IFRS Practice Statement 2” that are intended to provide guidance on deciding which accounting policies to disclose in financial statements. Accordingly, an entity is now required to disclose its material accounting policies instead of its significant accounting policies. The amendments did not have an impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

New accounting pronouncements

The following accounting pronouncements were not effective as of June 30, 2023, and therefore have not been applied in the first six months of 2023.

IFRS 16 “Leases”

In September 2022, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 16 “Leases” that clarify how a seller-lessee subsequently measures sale and leaseback transactions that satisfy the IFRS 15 requirements to be accounted for as a sale. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendment is not expected to have a material impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements. These amendments have yet to be endorsed by the EU.

Deutsche Bank

Interim Report as of June 30, 2023

IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”

In January 2020 and July 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current”. The amendments clarify that the classification of liabilities as current or non-current should be based on rights that are in existence at the end of the reporting period. The amendments also clarify that the classification is unaffected by expectations about whether an entity will exercise its right to defer settlement of a liability and make clear that settlement refers to the transfer to the counterparty of cash, equity instruments, other assets or services. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024, with early adoption permitted. They will not have a material impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements. The amendments have yet to be endorsed by the EU.

In October 2022, the IASB issued a further amendment to IAS 1 that modifies the requirements described above on how an entity classifies debt and other financial liabilities as current or non-current in particular circumstances. Accordingly, it clarifies that only covenants with which an entity is required to comply on or before the reporting date affect the classification of a liability as current or non-current. In line with the previous amendments, the new amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendments will not have a material impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements. The amendments have yet to be endorsed by the EU.

IAS 12 “Income Taxes”

In December 2021, the Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) issued Global Anti-Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) Rules under the Pillar 2 Framework. In May 2023, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 12 “Income Taxes” to introduce a mandatory temporary exception to the accounting for deferred taxes arising from the implementation of Pillar 2 model rules and disclosure requirements. The application of the exception outlined above has to be applied immediately with the disclosure requirements to be effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. The amendments have yet to be endorsed by the EU. The Group’s accounting for income taxes in accordance with IAS 12 is consistent with the IASB’s amendments and there has been no impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

Business Segments

Changes in business segments

As announced in the Annual Report 2022, having fulfilled the Capital Release Unit’s de-risking and cost reduction mandate from 2019 through year end 2022, the Capital Release Unit ceased to be reported as a separate segment with effect from the first quarter of 2023. Its remaining portfolio, resources and employees are reported within the Corporate & Other segment. In line with that change, the Core Bank, which previously represented the Group excluding the Capital Release Unit, ceased to be reported as of the first quarter of 2023. The Group consists of the following reportable segments: Corporate Bank, Investment Bank, Private Bank, Asset Management and Corporate & Other. Prior-period segment information has been restated to reflect these changes.

By year end 2022, International Private Bank materially completed the wind-down of the majority of legacy assets and liabilities associated with Sal. Oppenheim. Remaining assets or liabilities are not expected to have material financial impacts going forward and will be included in the normal course of the client segment Wealth Management & Bank for Entrepreneurs. The associated disclosure of “specific revenues items” was discontinued starting in the first quarter of 2023.

Driver-Based Cost Management allocations methodology change

As disclosed in the Annual Report 2022, the Group implemented the Driver-Based Cost Management allocations from the first quarter of 2023. The new methodology aims to provide greater transparency over the drivers of infrastructure costs and links costs more closely to service consumption by segments. This change did not affect the Group’s cost/income ratio and return on tangible equity metrics but does impact these per business segment. Therefore prior-period information has been restated, resulting in an increase in noninterest expenses (corresponding decrease in profit before tax) for Corporate Bank of € 98 million, for Investment Bank of € 19 million, for Private Bank of € 53 million, for Asset Management of € 13 million, with a corresponding decrease in noninterest expenses (corresponding reduction in loss before tax) for Corporate and Other of € 183 million for the second quarter of 2022. For the first half of 2022, the prior-period restatement resulted in an increase in noninterest expenses (corresponding decrease in profit before tax) for Corporate Bank of € 151 million, for Investment Bank of € 33 million, for Private Bank of € 77 million and for Asset Management of € 14 million, with a corresponding decrease in noninterest expenses (corresponding reduction in loss before tax) for Corporate and Other of € 275 million.

Interest and similar income included negative interest expense of € 25 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, and € 388 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, and € 61 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, and € 745 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The negative interest expense resulted from financial liabilities due to banks, client deposits and cash collateral payables on derivative instruments.

In addition, interest expense included negative interest income of € 15 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, and € 192 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, and € 37 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, and € 376 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The negative interest income resulted from financial assets due to cash and balances at central banks, loans and advances to banks, and cash collateral receivables on derivative instruments.

Impact of ECB Targeted Longer-term Refinancing Operations (TLTRO III)

The Governing Council of the ECB decided on a number of modifications to the terms and conditions of its TLTRO III-refinancing program in order to support funding of credit to households and firms and the current economic disruption. The Group considered the initial benefits that arose from borrowing under TLTRO III as government grant from a below-market loan under IAS 20 and recognizes subsequent benefits in accordance IFRS 9. The current interest rate on all remaining TLTRO III operations is indexed on the average applicable key ECB interest rates from that date onward.As of June 30, 2023, the Group has borrowed € 22.4 billion (June 30, 2022: € 44.7 billion) under the TLTRO III-refinancing program. The resulting net interest income includes € (216) million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 (June 30, 2022: € 109 million) and € (385) million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 (June 30, 2022: € 223 million) under the TLTRO III program.

Prior years’ comparatives aligned to segmental presentation in the current year

As of June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022 the Group’s balance of receivables from commission and fee income was € 928 million and € 865 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022 the Group’s balance of contract liabilities associated to commission and fee income was € 93 million and € 79 million, respectively. Contract liabilities arise from the Group’s obligation to provide future services to a customer for which the Group has received consideration from the customer prior to completion of the services. The balances of receivables and contract liabilities do not vary significantly from period to period reflecting the fact that they predominately relate to recurring service contracts with service periods of less than one year such as monthly current account services and quarterly asset management services. Customer payment in exchange for services provided are generally subject to performance by the Group over the specific service period such that the Group’s right to payment arises at the end of the service period when its performance obligations are fully completed. Therefore, no material balance of contract asset is reported.

Gains and losses on derecognition of financial assets measured at amortized cost

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Group sold financial assets measured at amortized cost of € 93 million (June 30, 2022: € 78 million).

Restructuring

In 2023, Restructuring is primarily driven by the implementation of the Group’s Global Hausbank strategic agenda. The Group has defined and is in the process of implementing efficiency measures that aim to contribute to achieving the bank’s 2025 targets. Restructuring in prior periods relates to measures as part of the previous strategy “Compete to win” which the bank continues to implement.

Restructuring expense is comprised of termination benefits, additional expenses covering the acceleration of deferred compensation awards not yet amortized due to the discontinuation of employment and contract termination costs related to real estate.

Income tax expense in the current quarter was € 366 million (second quarter of 2022: € 561 million). The effective tax rate was 35% in the second quarter of 2023 due to litigation charges being partly non-tax deductible and compares to 22% inthe second quarter of 2022 which had benefitted from a change in the geographical mix of income.

2023 to 2022 six months comparison

Income tax expense in the first six months of 2023 was € 924 million (first six months of 2022: € 959 million). The effective tax rate in the first six months of 2023 was 31% compared to 23% in the first six months of 2022.

Information on the consolidated balance sheet

Financial instruments carried at fair value 

Valuation techniques

The Group has an established valuation control framework which governs internal control standards, methodologies, valuation techniques and procedures over the valuation process and fair value measurement. The current market conditions including the ongoing macro-economic challenges and geopolitical uncertainties required additional focus and review in certain areas-during the first half of 2023, including assessment of bid-offer spreads to ensure they are representative of fair value.

The following is an explanation of the valuation techniques used in establishing the fair value of the different types of financial instruments that the Group trades.

Sovereign, Quasi-sovereign and Corporate Debt and Equity Securities – Where there are no recent transactions then fair value may be determined from the last market price adjusted for all changes in risks and information since that date. Where a close proxy instrument is quoted in an active market then fair value is determined by adjusting the proxy value for differences in the risk profile of the instruments. Where close proxies are not available then fair value is estimated using more complex modeling techniques. These techniques include discounted cash flow models using current market rates for credit, interest, liquidity and other risks. For equity securities modeling techniques may also include those based on earnings multiples.

Mortgage- and Other Asset-Backed Securities (MBS/ABS) include residential and commercial MBS and other ABS including CDOs. ABS have specific characteristics as it has different underlying assets and the issuing entities have different capital structures. The complexity increases further where the underlying assets are themselves ABS, as is the case with many of the CDO instruments.

Where no reliable external pricing is available, ABS are valued, where applicable, using either relative value analysis which is performed based on similar transactions observable in the market, or industry standard valuation models incorporating available observable inputs. The industry standard external models calculate principal and interest payments for a given deal based on assumptions that can be independently price tested. The inputs include prepayment speeds, loss assumptions (timing and severity) and a discount rate (spread, yield or discount margin). These inputs/assumptions are derived from actual transactions, external market research and market indices where appropriate.

Loans – For certain loans fair value may be determined from the market price on a recently occurring transaction adjusted for all changes in risks and information since that transaction date. Where there are no recent market transactions then broker quotes, consensus pricing, proxy instruments or discounted cash flow models are used to determine fair value. Discounted cash flow models incorporate parameter inputs for credit risk, interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk, loss given default estimates and amounts utilized given default, as appropriate. Credit risk, loss given default and utilization given default parameters are determined using information from the loan or CDS markets, where available and appropriate.

Leveraged loans can have transaction-specific characteristics which can limit the relevance of market-observed transactions. Where similar transactions exist for which observable quotes are available from external pricing services then this information is used with appropriate adjustments to reflect the transaction differences. When no similar transactions exist, a discounted cash flow valuation technique is used with credit spreads derived from the appropriate leveraged loan index, incorporating the industry classification, subordination of the loan, and any other relevant information on the loan and loan counterparty.

Over-The-Counter Derivative Financial Instruments – Market standard transactions in liquid trading markets, such as interest rate swaps, foreign exchange forward and option contracts in G7 currencies, and equity swap and option contracts on listed securities or indices are valued using market standard models and quoted parameter inputs. Parameter inputs are obtained from pricing services, consensus pricing services and recently occurring transactions in active markets wherever possible.

More complex instruments are modeled using more sophisticated modeling techniques specific for the instrument and are calibrated to available market prices. Where the model output value does not calibrate to a relevant market reference then valuation adjustments are made to the model output value to adjust for any difference. In less active markets, data is obtained from less frequent market transactions, broker quotes and through extrapolation and interpolation techniques. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, management judgment is required to determine fair values by assessing other relevant sources of information such as historical data, fundamental analysis of the economics of the transaction and proxy information from similar transactions.

Interim Report as of June 30, 2023

Financial Liabilities Designated at Fair Value through Profit or Loss under the Fair Value Option – The fair value of financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss under the fair value option incorporates all market risk factors including a measure of the Group’s credit risk relevant for that financial liability (i.e. debt valuation adjustments (DVA) for derivatives and own credit adjustment (OCA) for structured notes). Under IFRS 9, the own credit component of change in the fair value is reported under Other Comprehensive Income (OCI). Financial liabilities included in this classification are structured note issuances, structured deposits, and other structured securities issued by consolidated vehicles, and OTC derivative liabilities which may not be quoted in an active market. The fair value of these financial liabilities is determined by discounting the contractual cash flows using the relevant credit-adjusted yield curve (i.e. utilizing the spread at which similar instruments would be issued or bought back at the measurement date as this reflects the value from the perspective of a market participant who holds the identical item as an asset). The market risk parameters are valued consistently to similar instruments held as assets, for example, any derivatives embedded within the structured notes are valued using the same methodology discussed in the “Over-The-Counter Derivative Financial Instruments” section above.

Where the financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss under the fair value option and are collateralized, such as securities loaned and securities sold under repurchase agreements, the credit enhancement is factored into the fair valuation of the liability.

Investment Contract Liabilities – Assets which are linked to the investment contract liabilities are owned by the Group. The investment contract obliges the Group to use these assets to settle these liabilities. Therefore, the fair value of investment contract liabilities is determined by the fair value of the underlying assets (i.e. amount payable on surrender of the policies).

Fair value hierarchy

The financial instruments carried at fair value have been categorized under the three levels of the IFRS fair value hierarchy as follows:

Level 1 – Instruments valued using quoted prices in active markets are instruments where the fair value can be determined directly from prices which are quoted in active, liquid markets and where the instrument observed in the market is representative of that being priced in the Group’s inventory.

These include: government bonds, exchange-traded derivatives and equity securities traded on active, liquid exchanges.

Level 2 – Instruments valued with valuation techniques using observable market data are instruments where the fair value can be determined by reference to similar instruments trading in active markets, or where a technique is used to derive the valuation but where all inputs to that technique are observable.

These include: many OTC derivatives; many investment-grade listed credit bonds; some CDS; many collateralized debt obligations (CDO); and many less-liquid equities.

Level 3 – Instruments valued using valuation techniques using market data which is not directly observable are instruments where the fair value cannot be determined directly by reference to market-observable information, and some other pricing technique must be employed. Instruments classified in this category have an element which is unobservable and which has a significant impact on the fair value.

These include: more-complex OTC derivatives; distressed debt; highly-structured bonds; illiquid asset-backed securities (ABS); illiquid CDO’s (cash and synthetic); some private equity placements; many commercial real estate (CRE) loans; illiquid loans; and some municipal bonds.

The separated embedded derivatives may have a positive or a negative fair value but have been presented in this table to be consistent with the classification of the host contract. The separated embedded derivatives are held at fair value on a recurring basis and have been split between the fair value hierarchy classifications

During the six months ended on June 30, 2023 transfers in trading securities from Level 1 to Level 2 amounted to € 3.6 billion and € 1.5 billion, whereas transfers from Level 2 to Level 1 amounted to € 4.1 billion and € 1.8 billion, under assets and liabilities, respectively. The assessment of Level 1 versus Level 2 is based on liquidity testing procedures

Analysis of financial instruments with fair value derived from valuation techniques containing significant unobservable parameters (Level 3)

Some of the instruments in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy have identical or similar offsetting exposures to the unobservable input. However, according to IFRS the financial instruments are required to be presented as gross assets and liabilities.

Trading securities – Certain illiquid emerging market corporate bonds and illiquid highly structured corporate bonds are included in this level of the hierarchy. In addition, some of the holdings of notes issued by securitization entities, commercial and residential MBS, collateralized debt obligation securities and other ABS are reported as trading securities.The increase in the period is mainly due to purchases and transfers between Level 2 and Level 3 due to changes in the observability of input parameters used to value these instruments, partially offset by sales, settlements and losses.

Positive and negative market values from derivative instruments categorized in this level of the fair value hierarchy are valued based on one or more significant unobservable parameters. The unobservable parameters may include certain correlations, certain longer-term volatilities, certain prepayment rates, credit spreads and other transaction-specific parameters.

Level 3 derivatives include certain options where the volatility is unobservable; certain basket options in which the correlations between the referenced underlying assets are unobservable; longer-term interest rate option derivatives; multi-currency foreign exchange derivatives; and certain credit default swaps for which the credit spread is not observable.The decrease in assets during the period are driven by net transfers between Level 2 and Level 3 due to changes in the observability of input parameters used to value these instruments and losses.

The decrease in liabilities during the period are driven by transfers between Level 2 and Level 3 due to changes in the observability of input parameters used to value these instruments, losses and settlements.

72

Deutsche Bank

Interim Report as of June 30, 2023

Other trading instruments classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy mainly consist of traded loans valued using valuation models based on one or more significant unobservable parameters. Level 3 loans comprise illiquid leveraged loans and illiquid residential and commercial mortgage loans.The increase in the period refers to purchases, issuances, transfers between Level 2 and Level 3 due to changes in the observability of input parameters used to value these instruments partially offset by sales and settlements.

Non trading financial assets mandatory at fair value through profit or loss classified in Level 3 of fair value hierarchy consist of financial instruments included in the other business model at origination, acquired principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near future and unlisted equity instruments where there is no close proxy and the market is very illiquid. Additionally, this classification includes any instrument for which the contractual cash flow characteristics are not solely payments of principal and interest.The decrease in the period is driven by settlements, sales, transfers between Level 2 and Level 3 due to changes in the observability of input parameters used to value these instruments and losses, partially offset by issuances and purchases.

Financial assets/liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss – Certain corporate loans and structured liabilities which were designated at fair value through profit or loss under the fair value option are categorized in this level of the fair value hierarchy. The corporate loans are valued using valuation techniques which incorporate observable credit spreads, recovery rates and unobservable utilization parameters. Revolving loan facilities are reported as level 3 in the hierarchy because the utilization in the event of the default parameter is significant and unobservable.

In addition, certain hybrid debt issuances designated at fair value through profit or loss containing embedded derivatives are valued based on significant unobservable parameters. These unobservable parameters include single stock volatility correlations.The increase in assets during the period is driven by transfers between Level 2 and Level 3 due to changes in the observability of input parameters used to value these instruments and gains, partially offset by losses.The increase in liabilities during the period is driven by issuances, partially offset by settlements and losses.

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income include non-performing loan portfolios where there is no trading intent and the market is very illiquid.The increase in the period is driven by purchases, issuances and transfers between Level 2 and Level 3 due to changes in the observability of input parameters used to value these instruments, partially offset by sales, settlements and losses.

Sensitivity analysis of unobservable parameters

Where the value of financial instruments is dependent on unobservable parameter inputs, the precise level for these parameters at the balance sheet date might be drawn from a range of reasonably possible alternatives. In preparing the financial statements, appropriate levels for these unobservable input parameters are chosen so that they are consistent with prevailing market evidence and in line with the Group’s approach to valuation control detailed above.

75

Deutsche Bank

Interim Report as of June 30, 2023

The Group’s sensitivity calculation of unobservable parameters for Level 3 aligns to the approach used to assess valuation uncertainty for prudent valuation purposes. Prudent valuation is a capital requirement for assets held at fair value. It provides a mechanism for quantifying and capitalizing valuation uncertainty in accordance with the European Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/101, which supplements Article 34 of Regulation (EU) No. 2019/876 (CRR), requiring institutions to apply a deduction from CET1 the amount of any additional value adjustments on all assets measured at fair value calculated in accordance with Article 105(14). This utilizes exit price analysis performed for the relevant assets and liabilities in the Prudent Valuation assessment

If the Group marked Level 3 financial instruments using parameter values drawn from the extremes of the ranges of reasonably possible alternatives, as of June 30, 2023 it could have increased fair value by as much as € 1.8 billion or decreased fair value by as much as € 1.3 billion. As of December 31, 2022 it could have increased fair value by as much as € 2.0 billion or decreased fair value by as much as € 1.4 billion.

The changes in sensitive amounts from December 31, 2022 to June 30, 2023 were a reduction in positive fair value movement of € 166 million, and a reduction in negative fair value movement of € 81 million.

The reductions in positive and negative fair value movements are directionally aligned with the reduction in Group Level 3 in the period, with Level 3 assets moving from € 26.7 billion at December 31, 2022 to € 26.4 billion at June 30, 2023 and Group Level 3 liabilities reducing from € 10.8 billion at December 31, 2022 to € 10.0 billion at June 30, 2023. These moves represent a percentage reduction in gross Level 3 assets and liabilities of (3) %.

The change in positive fair value movements from December 31, 2022 to June 30, 2023 represents a (9) % reduction and the change in negative fair value movements represents an (6) % reduction. These percentage reductions are larger than the reductions in underlying gross Level 3 because our sensitivity calculations are intrinsically linked to Prudent Valuation figures, and these have reduced in 2023 predominantly due to reductions in market price dispersion.

This disclosure is intended to illustrate the potential impact of the relative uncertainty in the fair value of financial instruments for which valuations are dependent on unobservable input parameters. However, it is unlikely in practice that all unobservable parameters would be simultaneously at the extremes of their ranges of reasonably possible alternatives.

For many of the financial instruments considered in the table below, in particular derivatives, unobservable input parameters represent only a subset of the parameters required to price the financial instrument, the remainder being observable. Hence for these instruments the overall impact of moving the unobservable input parameters to the extremes of their ranges might be relatively small compared with the total fair value of the financial instrument. For other instruments, fair value is determined based on the price of the entire instrument, for example, by adjusting the fair value of a reasonable proxy instrument. In addition, all financial instruments are already carried at fair values which are inclusive of valuation adjustments for the cost to close out that instrument and hence already factor in uncertainty as it reflects itself in market pricing. Any negative impact of uncertainty calculated within this disclosure, then, will be over and above that already included in the fair value contained in the financial statements.

¹ Where the exposure to an unobservable parameter is offset across different instruments then only the net impact is disclosed in the table

Quantitative information about the sensitivity of significant unobservable inputs

The behavior of the unobservable parameters on Level 3 fair value measurement is not necessarily independent, and dynamic relationships often exist between the other unobservable parameters and the observable parameters. Such relationships, where material to the fair value of a given instrument, are explicitly captured via correlation parameters, or are otherwise controlled via pricing models or valuation techniques. Frequently, where a valuation technique utilizes more than one input, the choice of a certain input will bound the range of possible values for other inputs. In addition, broader market factors (such as interest rates, equity, credit or commodity indices or foreign exchange rates) can also have effects.

The range of values shown below represents the highest and lowest inputs used to value the significant exposures within Level 3. The diversity of financial instruments that make up the disclosure is significant and therefore the ranges of certain parameters can be large. For example, the range of credit spreads on mortgage backed securities represents performing, more liquid positions with lower spreads than the less liquid, non-performing positions which will have higher credit spreads. As Level 3 contains the less liquid fair value instruments, the wide ranges of parameters seen is to be expected, as there is a high degree of pricing differentiation within each exposure type to capture the relevant market dynamics. The table below provides a brief description of each of the principal parameter types, along with a commentary on significant interrelationships between them.

Credit Parameters are used to assess the creditworthiness of an exposure, by enabling the probability of default and resulting losses of a default to be represented. The credit spread is the primary reflection of creditworthiness and represents the premium or yield return above the benchmark reference instrument (typically LIBOR, or relevant Treasury Instrument, depending upon the asset being assessed), that a bond holder would require to allow for the credit quality difference between that entity and the reference benchmark. Higher credit spreads will indicate lower credit quality, and lead to a lower value for a given bond, or other loan-asset that is to be repaid to the Bank by the borrower. Recovery Rates represent an estimate of the amount a lender would receive in the case of a default of a loan, or a bond holder would receive in the case of default of the bond. Higher recovery rates will give a higher valuation for a given bond position, if other parameters are held constant. constant default rate and constant prepayment rate allow more complex loan and debt assets to be assessed, as these parameters estimate the ongoing defaults arising on scheduled repayments and coupons, or whether the borrower is making additional (usually voluntary) prepayments. These parameters are particularly relevant when forming a fair value opinion for mortgage or other types of lending, where repayments are delivered by the borrower through time, or where the borrower may pre-pay the loan (seen for example in some residential mortgages). Higher credit default rates will lead to a lower valuation of a given loan or mortgage as the lender will ultimately receive less cash.

Interest rates, credit spreads, inflation rates, foreign exchange rates and equity prices are referenced in some option instruments, or other complex derivatives, where the payoff a holder of the derivative will receive is dependent upon the behavior of these underlying references through time. Volatility parameters describe key attributes of option behavior by enabling the variability of returns of the underlying instrument to be assessed. This volatility is a measure of probability, with higher volatilities denoting higher probabilities of a particular outcome occurring. The underlying references (interest rates, credit spreads etc.) have an effect on the valuation of options, by describing the size of the return that can be expected from the option. Therefore the value of a given option is dependent upon the value of the underlying instrument, and the volatility of that instrument, representing the size of the payoff, and the probability of that payoff occurring. Where volatilities are high, the option holder will see a higher option value as there is greater probability of positive returns. A higher option value will also occur where the payoff described by the option is significant.

77

Deutsche Bank

Interim Report as of June 30, 2023

Correlations are used to describe influential relationships between underlying references where a derivative or other instrument has more than one underlying reference. Behind some of these relationships, for example commodity correlation and interest rate-foreign exchange correlations, typically lie macroeconomic factors such as the impact of global demand on groups of commodities, or the pricing parity effect of interest rates on foreign exchange rates. More specific relationships can exist between credit references or equity stocks in the case of credit derivatives and equity basket derivatives, for example. Credit correlations are used to estimate the relationship between the credit performance of a range of credit names, and stock correlations are used to estimate the relationship between the returns of a range of equities. A derivative with a correlation exposure will be either long- or short-correlation. A high correlation suggests a strong relationship between the underlying references is in force, and this will lead to an increase in value of a long-correlation derivative. Negative correlations suggest that the relationship between underlying references is opposing, i.e., an increase in price of one underlying reference will lead to a reduction in the price of the other.

An EBITDA (‘earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization’) multiple approach can be used in the valuation of less liquid securities. Under this approach the enterprise value (‘EV’) of an entity can be estimated via identifying the ratio of the EV to EBITDA of a comparable observable entity and applying this ratio to the EBITDA of the entity for which a valuation is being estimated. Under this approach a liquidity adjustment is often applied due to the difference in liquidity between the generally listed comparable used and the company under valuation. A higher EV/EBITDA multiple will result in a higher fair value.

Unrealized gains or losses on Level 3 instruments held or in issue at the reporting date

The unrealized gains or losses on Level 3 Instruments are not solely due to unobservable parameters. Many of the parameter inputs to the valuation of instruments in this level of the hierarchy are observable and the gain or loss is partly due to movements in these observable parameters over the period. Many of the positions in this level of the hierarchy are economically hedged by instruments which are categorized in other levels of the fair value hierarchy. The offsetting gains and losses that have been recorded on all such hedges are not included in the table below, which only shows the gains and losses related to the Level 3 classified instruments themselves held at the reporting date in accordance with IFRS 13. The unrealized gains and losses on Level 3 instruments are included in both net interest income and net gains on financial assets/liabilities at fair value through profit or loss in the interim consolidated income statement.

If there are significant unobservable inputs used in a valuation technique on initial recognition, the financial instrument is recognized at the transaction price and any trade date profit is deferred. The table below presents the six months ended movement of the trade date profits deferred due to significant unobservable parameters for financial instruments classified at fair value through profit or loss. The balance is predominantly related to derivative instruments.

Fair value of financial instruments not carried at fair value

This section should be read in conjunction with Note 14 “Fair Value of Financial Instruments not carried at Fair Value” of the Group’s Annual Report 2022.

The valuation techniques used to establish fair value for the Group’s financial instruments which are not carried at fair value in the balance sheet are consistent with those outlined in Note 13 “Financial Instruments carried at Fair Value” of the Group’s Annual Report 2022.

Financial instruments not carried at fair value are not managed on a fair value basis. For these instruments fair values are calculated for disclosure purposes only and do not impact the Group balance sheet or income statement. Additionally, since the instruments generally do not trade there is significant management judgment required to determine the fair values. Differences in carrying value versus fair value as of June 30, 2023 is consistent with rising interest rate environment as compared to December 31, 2022.

For the following financial instruments which are predominantly short-term the carrying value represents a reasonable estimate of the fair value:

Assets	Liabilities
Cash and central bank balances	Deposits
Interbank balances (w/o central banks)	Central bank funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements
Central bank funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements	Securities loaned
Securities borrowed	Other short-term borrowings
Other financial assets	Other financial liabilities

Deutsche Bank

Interim Report as of June 30, 2023

For retail lending portfolios with a large number of homogenous loans (e.g. residential mortgages), the fair value is calculated for each product type by discounting the portfolio’s contractual cash flows using the Group’s new loan rates for lending to issuers of similar credit quality. Key inputs for retail mortgages are the difference between historic and current product margins and the estimated prepayment rates. Capitalized broker fees included in the carrying value are considered to also be at fair value.

The fair value of the corporate lending portfolio is estimated predominantly by discounting the loan until its maturity based on loan specific credit spreads and funding costs for the Group.

For long-term debt and trust preferred securities, fair value is determined from quoted market prices, where available. Where quoted market prices are not available, fair value is estimated using a valuation technique that discounts the remaining contractual cash flows at a rate at which an instrument with similar characteristics is quoted in the market.

¹ Amounts are generally presented on a gross basis, in line with the Group’s accounting policy regarding offsetting of financial instruments as described in Note 1 “Significant Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Estimates” of the Group’s Annual Report 2022

The difference between the fair value and the carrying value of loans is primarily driven by the current interest rates on long-dated retail mortgages in Germany compared to the contractual rate. For long-term debt and trust preferred securities, the difference between the fair value and the carrying value is due to the changes in interest rates at which the Group could issue debt with similar maturity and subordination at the balance sheet date compared to the rate the instrument was issued at. The carrying values included in the table do not include any impacts from economic hedges.

IFRS 9 Impairment

Model overview

During the first half of 2023, Deutsche Bank continued to apply the same IFRS 9 impairment model and methodologies, key assumptions and risk management activities as disclosed in the Annual Report 2022.

In July 2023, the Group completed the migration of Postbank clients into the IT systems of Deutsche Bank through its project Unity, which will impact Deutsche Bank’s application of the IFRS 9 impairment model and methodologies thereafter. As outlined in the Annual Report 2022, the Group leverages existing models used for the determination of capital demand under the Basel Internal Ratings Based Approach and internal risk management practices to calculate ECL. Deutsche Bank has applied specific models for Postbank clients, which will be partially decommissioned after the migration and the Deutsche Bank infrastructure will be used going forward. In the first half of 2023, two migrations waves were successfully executed and resulted in an immaterial impact on the Group’s credit loss allowances. The last wave of the migration in July 2023 will include the German mortgages and consumer finance portfolios. See details on potential migration related risks in section Risks and Opportunities of this report.

Deutsche Bank

Interim Report as of June 30, 2023

The section below focuses on the latest developments and uncertainties in the first half of 2023 and their consideration in the bank’s expected credit loss (ECL) calculation, along with the bank’s ongoing credit risk management activities and governance framework. These activities include, but are not limited to, regular emerging risk reviews as well as portfolio deep dives, day to day risk management on the level of individual borrowers, and regular model validations. The Group also considers each reporting period if there are any potential model imprecision or uncertainties not included in the model that require an overlay. Lastly, the Group presents a sensitivity analysis for one of the key inputs into the IFRS 9 model (i.e., forward looking macroeconomic variables).

Forward-looking information

Focus areas in second quarter of 2023

Commercial Real Estate

Commercial Real Estate (CRE) markets continue to face headwinds due to the impacts of rising interest rates, decreasing market liquidity combined with tightened lending conditions which have an additional negative impact in particular to the US office market. The combination of risk factors leads to higher refinancing risk for maturing loans as some transactions may have to be adjusted to qualify for an extension to ensure appropriate debt service coverage and loan-to-value (LTV) ratios.

The CRE portfolio across the Group consists of financing/lending arrangements that are recourse and non-recourse financing, across various parts of the Group and client segments. While the exact definition of what constitutes a CRE exposure is subjective, the Group’s CRE portfolio includes exposures reported under the Main Credit Exposure Categories by Industry Sectors for Real Estate Activities NACE was € 49.8 billion and € 48.0 billion as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Please refer to “Risk Report” in the Combined Management Report in the Annual Report 2022.

Exposures reported under Real Estate Activities NACE which are recourse CRE financing have an inherently lower risk profile as they typically benefit from recourse to creditworthy entities or individuals, in addition to mortgage collateral, with internal ratings based on the financial strength of the guaranteeing entities / individuals. Exposures range from secured recourse lending to property companies, secured recourse lending to Wealth Management clients, as well as private and corporate clients for business or commercial properties.

Non-recourse financings are subject to increased risk since sources of repayment are typically limited to the cash flows generated by the financed property and the ability to refinance may be constrained by the underlying property value and income stream generated by such property at the time of refinancing. Non-recourse exposures reported under Real Estate Activities (NACE) was € 25.8 billion and € 24.8 billion as of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Based on Deutsche Bank’s definition of non-recourse CRE loans, the total non-recourse portfolio as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, amounted to € 40.1 billion and € 38.9 billion, respectively, which included exposures not reported under the Real Estate Activities (NACE). These non-recourse portfolios are primarily in the core CRE business units of the Investment Bank and Corporate Bank, with additional smaller portfolios added across other business units.

Amidst interest rate hikes commencing in 2022 and real estate market stresses increasing, the Group has been proactively working with borrowers to address upcoming maturities in the non-recourse portfolio. One of the key mitigants to refinancing risks remains that Deutsche Bank is primarily lending to strong institutional sponsors with significant equity invested in the financed properties.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, and June 30, 2022, the total provision for credit losses for the total non-recourse CRE financing portfolio was € 109 million (2022: € 20 million) and € 143 million (2022: € 31 million), respectively. As of June 30, 2023, 17 % and 5 % of the exposure were in Stage 2 and Stage 3, and 14 %and 4 % as of December 31, 2022, respectively.

Deutsche Bank

Interim Report as of June 30, 2023

To obtain a more comprehensive understanding of potential downside risks, Deutsche Bank has run a severe stress test on a subset of the non-recourse financing portfolio deemed higher risk, which includes all non-recourse loans except for sub-portfolios subject to different risk drivers such as data centers and municipal social housing. As of June 30, 2023, the stress-tested non-recourse portfolio amounted to € 32.9 billion of the € 40.1 billion non-recourse portfolio, based on Deutsche Bank’s definition.

This portfolio is diversified by property type, with the largest concentration of 41 % in Office space, while Hospitality and Retail account for 11 % and 9 %, respectively as of June 30, 2023 and 41 %, 11 % and 9 % as of December 31, 2022. Weighted average loan-to-value (LTV) is around 63 % in the Investment Bank, 52 % in the Corporate Bank, and 58 % in other business units as of June 30, 2023 and 62 %, 53 % and 56 % as of December 31, 2022. From a regional perspective, 55 % of the portfolio is in the US, 37 % in Europe, and 8 % in the APAC region as of June 30, 2023 and 55 %, 39 % and 7 % as of December 31, 2022, respectively, with loan originations primarily focused on larger, institutional quality assets in more liquid primary markets.

As of June 30, 2023, the Group considered the impact of its severe stress scenario on higher-risk non-recourse CRE loans focused on property values. The stress scenario applied additional haircuts ranging from 10 %-25 % on top of the observed market index decline for each property type assuming a liquidation scenario. Based on these assumptions, such a severe stress could result in approximately € 800 million of additional credit losses spread over multiple years, which would equate to 16bps of the total loan book. The likelihood and magnitude of occurrence will depend on the developments of the CRE markets, particularly in the US, and depend on the exposure specific fundamentals which allow a borrower to refinance. It is important to emphasize that this stress scenario is only an estimation and does not assume additional sponsor support, which could significantly reduce the actual expected credit losses.

Residential Real Estate

The Group’s Residential Real Estate portfolio consists of mainly private client mortgage loans which are regularly repaid and fully recourse. The majority of these loans are in Germany where mortgage loans have a long-fixed period. Current unemployment rates in Germany, Italy and Spain are stable so there is no major increase in risk related to private clients.

In instances where Deutsche Bank has identified counterparties where credit quality has or is expected to deteriorate to the point where they present a heightened risk of default / loss, the respective counterparty is placed on the watchlist, and the counterparty is generally transferred to Stage 2. Deutsche Bank aims to identify those counterparties well in advance of payment issues materializing and continues to refine its early warning capabilities to support the identification of vulnerable clients or portfolios.

Overall Assessment of ECL’s

To ensure that Deutsche Bank’s ECL model accounted for the uncertainties in the macroeconomic environment throughout the second quarter and first half of 2023, the Group continued to review emerging risks, assessed potential baseline and downside impacts and required actions to manage the bank’s credit strategy and risk appetite. The outcome of these reviews concluded that the bank adequately provisioned for its expected credit losses as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Results from the above reviews and development of key portfolio indicators are regularly discussed at the Credit Risk Appetite and Management Forum and Group Risk Committee. Where necessary, actions and measures are taken to mitigate the risks. Client ratings are regularly reviewed to reflect the latest macroeconomic developments and where potentially significant risks are identified clients are moved to the watchlist (Stage 2), forbearance measures may be negotiated, and credit limits and collateralization are reviewed. Overall, the Group believes that based on its day-to-day risk management activities and regular reviews of emerging risks it has adequately provided for its ECL.

Overlays applied to the IFRS 9 model output

The Group regularly reviews the IFRS 9 methodology and processes, key inputs into the ECL calculation and discusses upcoming model changes, potential model imprecisions or other estimation uncertainties, for example in the macroeconomic environment to determine if any material overlays are required. As of June 30, 2023, the Group did not identify any additional downside risks not reflected in the IFRS 9 ECL model or other material model imprecisions that would require an additional overlay other than the existing € 92 million overlay related to the new definition of default as disclosed in the Annual Report 2022.

Model sensitivity

The Group has identified three key model assumptions included in the IFRS 9 model. These include forward looking macroeconomic variables, the quantitative criteria for determining if a borrower has incurred a significant increase in credit risk and transferred to Stage 2, and the LGD setting on homogenous portfolios in Stage 3. Below the bank provides sensitivity analysis on the potential impact on forward looking macroeconomic variables, if these key assumptions applied in the ECL model were to deviate from the bank’s base case expectations. The sensitivity of the quantitative criteria for determining if a borrower has incurred a significant increase in credit risk and transferred to Stage 2 and the LGD setting on homogenous portfolios in Stage 3 have not materially changed versus amounts disclosed in the Annual Report 2022.

Deutsche Bank

Interim Report as of June 30, 2023

Macroeconomic Variables

The sensitivity of the ECL model with respect to potential changes in projections for key MEVs is shown in the tables below, which provides ECL impacts for Stages 1 and 2 from one sigma downward and upward shifts applied separately to each group of MEV as of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022.A sigma shift is a standard deviation used in statistics and probability calculations and is a measure of the dispersion of the values of a random variable. Each of these groups consists of MEVs from the same category:

• – GDP growth rates: includes USA, Eurozone, Germany, Italy, Developing Asia, Emerging Markets
• – Unemployment rates: includes USA, Eurozone, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain
• – Equities: S&P500, Nikkei, MSCI Asia
• – Credit spreads: ITX Europe 125, High Yield Index, CDX IG, CDX High Yield, CDX Emerging Markets
• – Real Estate: Commercial Real Estate Price Index
• – Commodities: WTI oil price, Gold price

Although interest rates and inflation are not separately included in the MEVs above, the economic impact of these risks is reflected in other macroeconomic variables, such as GDP growth rates, unemployment, equities and credit spreads as higher rates and inflation would filter through these forecasts and be included in the ECL model and sensitivity analysis below.

In addition, the sensitivity analysis only includes the impact of the aggregated MEV group (i.e., potential correlation between different MEV groups or the impact of management overlays is not taken into consideration). ECLs for Stage 3 are not affected and not reflected in the following tables as its calculation is independent of the macroeconomic scenarios.

Sensitivity impact is slightly lower as of June 30, 2023, compared to December 31, 2022, due to portfolio changes and minor improvements of base MEV projections which the analyses were based on.

IFRS 9 Expected Credit Losses

In the first six months of 2023, provision for credit losses was € 773 million, which is higher than the € 525 million recorded for the same period in 2022 and was mainly driven by the Private Bank which recorded credit loss provisions of € 414 million. This includes two larger Stage 3 events in the International Private Bank of € 118 million in total which occurred in the first quarter of 2023.

89

Deutsche Bank

Interim Report as of June 30, 2023

For the second quarter the Group reported credit loss provisions of € 401 million significantly higher than the € 233 million in the second quarter of 2022. The quarter over quarter increase was mainly driven by increased provisioning levels across all businesses in a less favorable macroeconomic environment with Commercial Real Estate as one of the main drivers in the Investment Bank and German MidCaps in the Corporate Bank, while Private Bank returned to rather normalized provisioning levels.

Stage 1 and Stage 2 provisions increased in the second quarter of 2023 by € 63 million compared to € 52 million increase recorded in the same period in 2022, which was driven by portfolio and rating changes especially in the Investment Bank, most notably in CRE.

Stage 3 provisions increased in the second quarter of 2023 to € 338 million compared to € 181 million recorded for the same period in 2022. This was primarily driven by an increased number of impairment events across all businesses with Commercial Real Estate as main driver in the Investment Bank, while Corporate Bank was mainly affected by higher provisions in German MidCaps, across various sectors.

In regard to the business segments, Corporate Bank recorded credit loss provisions of € 117 million in the second quarter of 2023 versus € 56 million in the second quarter of 2022. The Investment Bank recorded € 141 million credit loss provisions in the second quarter of 2023 versus € 72 million in the second quarter of 2022. Private Bank recorded credit loss provisions of € 147 million in the second quarter of 2023 versus € 96 million reported in the second quarter of 2022 which was benefitting from portfolio sales.

Exposure to Russia

As disclosed in the Annual Report 2022, Deutsche Bank continues to have limited exposure to Russia. The following table provides an overview of total Russian exposures, including overnight deposits with the Central Bank of Russia in the amount of € 0.7 billion as of June 30, 2023 (€ 0.8 billion as of December 31, 2022) and other receivables, which are subject to IFRS 9 impairment, and correspondent allowance for credit losses by stages as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

¹ Allowance for credit losses do not include allowance for country risk amounting to € 3 million as of June 30, 2023 and € 11 million as of December 31, 2022

Total exposure of € 1.4 billion consists of € 0.7 billion loan exposure to Russia, € 37 million of undrawn commitments and € 0.7 billion of unsecured overnight deposits in Rubles with the Central Bank of Russia (which continues to be reflected in Stage 2 as of June 30, 2023); the residual unsecured exposure, excluding the unsecured overnight deposits in Rubles with the Central Bank of Russia, is mainly driven by loans with large Russian companies.

Impact on goodwill and other intangible assets from geopolitical events

Goodwill, indefinite and definite life intangible assets are tested for impairment annually in the fourth quarter or more frequently if there are indications that the carrying value may be impaired. Goodwill is tested for impairment purposes on the cash-generating unit (CGU) level. Definite life intangible assets are generally tested on CGU level as they do not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets. Indefinite life intangible assets are tested at the individual asset level.

As of June 30, 2023, an analysis was performed to evaluate if an impairment loss needed to be recognized for the Group’s goodwill allocated to the Asset Management CGU or the indefinite life intangible asset related to Asset Management’s retail investment management agreements (shown under unamortized intangible assets). As part of the analysis, the assumptions and their sensitivities of the annual goodwill impairment test and the main input parameters for the retail investment management agreement intangible asset were reviewed and neither asset had any indication of impairment.

Interim Report as of June 30, 2023

Non-current assets and disposal groups held for sale

Within the balance sheet, non-current assets and disposal groups held for sale are reported in Other assets and Other liabilities. This note provides further explanation on the nature and the financial impact of the non-current assets and disposal groups held for sale as of June 30, 2023.

Non-current assets and disposal groups held for sale at the reporting date

Total assets held for sale amounted to € 13 million as of June 30, 2023 (December 31, 2022: € 40 million) and the disposal groups included liabilities of € 220 million as of June 30, 2023 (December 31, 2022: € 208 million). As of June 30, 2023 for the three and six months ended, there were no unrealized net gains or losses (December 31, 2022: € 0 million) relating to non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale recognized directly in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Provisions

As of June 30, 2023, the Group recognized € 2.8 billion (December 31, 2022: € 2.4 billion) in provisions on its balance sheet. The provisions relate to operational risk, civil litigation, regulatory enforcement, restructuring, allowances for credit related off-balance sheet positions and other matters, including bank levies. The provisions as of June 30, 2023 are described below for civil litigation and regulatory matters and included in the Restructuring and Allowance for credit losses disclosures in this Interim Report. Details on the bank’s provisions as of December 31, 2022, are disclosed in Deutsche Bank’s Annual Report 2022 in Note 10 “Restructuring”, Note 19 “Allowance for credit losses”, and Note 27 “Provisions”.

Civil litigation and regulatory enforcement matters

As of June 30, 2023, the Group recognized provisions relating to civil litigation of € 0.9 billion (December 31, 2022: € 0.6 billion) and provisions relating to regulatory enforcement matters of € 0.6 billion (December 31, 2022: € 0.6 billion). For some matters, for which the Group believes an outflow of funds is probable, but the Group could not reliably estimate the amount of the potential outflow, no provisions were recognized.

General and administrative expenses included expenses for civil litigation and regulatory enforcement matters of € 395 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 (€ 116 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022) and € 461 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 (€ 142 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022).

The increase in provisions during the first half of 2023 mainly related to a number of longstanding litigation matters settled in the second quarter. These matters include a settlement in a class action lawsuit brought by victims of Jeffrey Epstein for U.S. $ 75 million and a settlement in relation to a lawsuit filed in state court in California arising from bank’s role as an arranger of a second lien loan to SunEdison, Inc. for a confidential amount.

In addition, as described in Note 27 “Provisions” in the Annual Report 2022, starting in 2016 certain clients of Deutsche Bank Polska S.A. alleged that their mortgage loan agreements in foreign currency include unfair clauses and are invalid. These clients have demanded reimbursement of the alleged overpayments under such agreements totaling over € 487 million with almost 3,900 civil claims having been commenced in Polish courts. In the second quarter of 2023, there was a deterioration in the risk profile with respect to the Polish FX mortgage portfolio, especially following an adverse decision from the European Court of Justice on June 15, 2023, which has affected the broader Polish banking sector. As a result, the provision for that matter increased by € 101 million and € 114 million in the three months ended and six months ended June 30, of 2023, respectively, to a total provision of € 391 million.

On July 6, 2021, the bank and several Group entities were named as defendants in a civil litigation filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, alleging that the defendants facilitated or negligently failed to uncover a scheme orchestrated by certain bank customers relating to a real estate development project in Florida. The action was brought by the liquidators appointed for these customer entities. The matter proceeded to trial in April 2023 and resulted in an adverse jury trial verdict of U.S. $ 95 million. The bank has since filed a motion for judgment as a matter of law and a motion for a new trial. These motions are pending. The Group has not disclosed whether it has established a provision or contingent liability with respect to this case as such disclosure can be expected to seriously prejudice the outcome of the matter.

On July 19, 2023, Deutsche Bank, Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, DB USA Corporation, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas and DWS USA Corporation entered into a Consent Order and Written Agreement with the Federal Reserve resolving previously disclosed regulatory discussions concerning adherence to prior orders and settlements related to sanctions and embargoes and AML compliance, and remedial agreements and obligations related to risk management issues. The Consent Order alleges insufficient and tardy implementation of the post-settlement sanctions and embargoes and AML control enhancement undertakings required by prior Consent Orders the Bank entered into with the Federal Reserve dated November 4, 2015, and May 26, 2017, respectively. The Written Agreement alleges various deficiencies in governance, risk management, and internal controls across the Bank’s U.S. Operations, and finds that the Bank must continue to implement additional improvements. The Consent Order requires the Bank to pay a civil monetary penalty of U.S. $ 186 million, including U.S. $ 140 million for the violations alleged with respect to the post-settlement sanctions and embargoes and AML control enhancement undertakings, as well as a separate penalty of U.S. $ 46 million for unsafe or unsound practices stemming from the Bank’s handling of its legacy correspondent banking relationship with Danske Bank Estonia, which was terminated in October 2015. The Written Agreement does not include a civil monetary penalty. Both the Consent Order and Written Agreement include certain post-settlement remediation and reporting undertakings.

Deutsche Bank

Interim Report as of June 30, 2023

For the matters for which a reliable estimate can be made, but the probability of a future loss or outflow of resources is more than remote but less than probable, the Group currently estimates that as of June 30, 2023, these contingent liabilities are approximately VALUE! for civil litigation matters (December 31, 2022: VALUE!) and VALUE! for regulatory enforcement matters (December 31, 2022: VALUE!). These figures include matters where the Group’s potential liability is joint and several and where the Group expects any such liability to be paid by a third party.

For other significant civil litigation and regulatory enforcement matters where the Group believes the possibility of an outflow of funds is more than remote but less than probable, but the amount is not reliably estimable, such matters are not included in the contingent liability estimates. In addition, where the Group believes the possibility of an outflow of funds is remote on other significant civil litigation and regulatory enforcement matters, the Group has neither recognized a provision nor included the matters in the contingent liability estimates.

For additional details on civil litigation and regulatory enforcement matters or groups of similar matters (some of which consist of a number of proceedings or claims) for which the Group has taken material provisions, or for which there are material contingent liabilities that are more than remote, or for which there is the possibility of material business or reputational risk, see Note 27 “Provisions” in Deutsche Bank’s Annual Report 2022 in the section captioned “Current Individual Proceedings”. The disclosed matters include matters for which the possibility of a loss is more than remote, but for which the Group cannot reliably estimate the possible loss.

Credit related commitments and contingent liabilities

Lending commitments and lending related contingent liabilities

In the normal course of business the Group regularly enters into irrevocable lending commitments, including fronting commitments as well as contingent liabilities consisting of financial and performance guarantees, standby letters of credit and indemnity agreements on behalf of its customers. Under these contracts the Group is required to perform under an obligation agreement or to make payments to the beneficiary based on third party’s failure to meet its obligations. For these instruments it is not known to the Group in detail if, when and to what extent claims will be made. In the event that the Group has to pay out cash in respect of its fronting commitments, the Group would immediately seek reimbursement from the other syndicate lenders. The Group considers all the above instruments in monitoring the credit exposure and may require collateral to mitigate inherent credit risk. If the credit risk monitoring provides sufficient perception about a loss from an expected claim, a provision is established and recorded on the balance sheet.

The following table shows the Group’s revocable lending commitments, irrevocable lending commitments and lending related contingent liabilities without considering collateral or provisions. It shows the maximum potential utilization of the Group in case all these liabilities entered into must be fulfilled. The table therefore does not show the expected future cash flows from these liabilities as many of them will expire without being drawn and arising claims will be honored by the customers or can be recovered from proceeds of arranged collateral.

Interim Report as of June 30, 2023

Other commitments and other contingent liabilities

The Group’s other irrevocable commitments and other contingent liabilities without considering collateral or provisions amounted to € 75.2 million as of June 30, 2023 and to € 73.0 million as of December 31, 2022. The number considers the maximum potential utilization of the Group in case all these liabilities entered into must be fulfilled. It therefore does not contain the expected future cash flows from these liabilities as many of them will expire without being drawn and arising claims will be honored by the customers or can be recovered from proceeds of arranged collateral.

Irrevocable payment commitments with regard to levies

Irrevocable payment commitments related to bank levy according to Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive (BRRD), the Single Resolution Fund (SRF) and to the German deposit protection schemes amounted to € 1.4 billion as of June 30, 2023 and to € 1.3 billion as of December 31, 2022.

Interest rate benchmark reform

As of June 30, 2023, Deutsche Bank materially completed the transition of its remaining transactions linked to USD LIBOR rates. All the positions previously referencing GBP LIBOR, CHF LIBOR, JPY LIBOR, EUR LIBOR, EONIA and those USD LIBOR tenors that ceased in early 2022 have been transitioned to an alternative reference rate.

The bank panel to determine the USD LIBOR permanently ceased as of June 30, 2023. However, certain short-term US dollar LIBOR settings will continue to be published using a synthetic methodology until September 2024. Where the maturity is after June 30, 2023, Deutsche Bank’s financial instruments exposure linked to synthetic USD LIBOR settings is € 28 billion as of June 30, 2023, mainly related to loans and off-balance sheet exposure. Remaining USD LIBOR exposure post June 2023 cessation relate to positions temporarily utilizing the last available LIBOR fixing or synthetic LIBOR to complete transition. These positions are closely monitored and are on track to transition.

Deutsche Bank

Interim Report as of June 30, 2023

Non-GAAP financial measures

This document and other documents the Group has published or may publish contain non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures are measures of the Group’s historical or future performance, financial position or cash flows that contain adjustments that exclude or include amounts that are included or excluded, as the case may be, from the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS in the Group’s financial statements.

Return on equity ratios

The Group reports a post-tax return on average shareholders’ equity and a post-tax return on average tangible shareholders’ equity, each of which is a non-GAAP financial measure.

The post-tax returns on average shareholders’ equity and average tangible shareholders' equity are calculated as profit (loss) attributable to Deutsche Bank shareholders after Additional Tier 1 coupon as a percentage of average shareholders’ equity and average tangible shareholders' equity, respectively.

Profit (loss) attributable to Deutsche Bank shareholders after Additional Tier 1 coupon for the segments is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined as profit (loss) excluding post-tax profit (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests and after Additional Tier 1 coupon, which are allocated to segments based on their allocated average tangible shareholders’ equity. For the Group, it reflects the reported effective tax rate which was 35% for the second quarter of 2023 and 22% for the prior year’s comparative period. The tax rate was 31% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, and 23% for the prior year’s comparative period. For the segments, the applied tax rate was 28% for 2023 and all quarters in 2022.

At the Group level, tangible shareholders' equity is shareholders’ equity as reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheet excluding goodwill and other intangible assets. Tangible shareholders’ equity for the segments is calculated by deducting goodwill and other intangible assets from shareholders’ equity as allocated to the segments. Shareholders’ equity and tangible shareholders’ equity are presented on an average basis.

The Group believes that a presentation of average tangible shareholders’ equity makes comparisons to its competitors easier, and refers to this measure in the return on equity ratios presented by the Group. However, average tangible shareholders’ equity is not a measure provided for in IFRS, and the Group’s ratios based on this measure should not be compared to other companies’ ratios without considering differences in the calculations.

The reconciliation of the aforementioned ratios is set forth in the table below:

Profit (loss) before tax excluding nonoperating costs is a non-GAAP financial measure for which the most directly comparable IFRS financial measure is Profit (loss) before tax. Profit (loss) before tax excluding nonoperating costs is calculated by deducting nonoperating costs, which consist of (i) impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets, (ii) net litigation charges and (iii) restructuring and severance from Profit (loss) before tax under IFRS. A detailed overview of nonoperating costs is presented in the section “Adjusted costs/nonoperating costs”. The Group believes that a presentation of Profit (loss) before tax excluding nonoperating costs provides a more meaningful depiction of the costs associated with its operating businesses.

The following table provides a reconciliation of Profit (loss) before tax excluding nonoperating costs for the Group:

Post-tax return on average tangible shareholders’ equity based on pro rata bank levies and excluding nonoperating costs

Post-tax return on average tangible shareholders’ equity based on pro rata bank levies and excluding nonoperating costs is an adjustment to the aforementioned post-tax return on average tangible shareholders’ equity, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Post-tax return on average tangible shareholders’ equity based on pro rata bank levies and excluding nonoperating costs is based on the assumption of an equal distribution of the (expected) annual bank levies across the four quarters of the financial year and is calculated by deducting nonoperating costs from Profit (loss) attributable to Deutsche Bank shareholders. The Group believes that a presentation of Post-tax return on average tangible shareholders’ equity based on pro rata bank levies and excluding nonoperating costs provides a more meaningful depiction of the costs associated with its operating businesses and of its financial performance in the quarters given the majority of the bank levies are charged in the first quarter of the year.

A detailed overview of nonoperating costs, which consist of (i) impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets, (ii) net litigation charges and (iii) restructuring and severance, is presented in the section “Adjusted costs/nonoperating costs”.

Noninterest expenses in the first quarter of 2023 included charges for bank levies of € 473 million. For the full year 2023, charges for bank levies of € 502 million are expected, compared to € 762 million recorded for the full year 2022.

Cost/income ratiobased on pro rata bank levies and excluding nonoperating costs

Cost/income ratio based on pro rata bank levies and excluding nonoperating costs is a non-GAAP financial measure for which the most directly comparable IFRS financial measureis the ratio of total noninterest expenses divided by total net revenues, which we refer to as our cost/income ratio. Cost/income ratio based on pro rata bank levies and excluding nonoperating costs is based on the assumption of an equal distribution of the (expected) annual bank levies across the four quarters of the financial year and is calculated by deducting nonoperating costs from noninterest expenses. The Group believes that a presentation of Cost/income ratio based on pro rata bank levies and excluding nonoperating costs provides a more meaningful depiction of the costs associated with its operating businesses and of its financial performance in the quarters given the majority of the bank levies are charged in the first quarter of the year.

A detailed overview of nonoperating costs, which consist of (i) impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets, (ii) net litigation charges and (iii) restructuring and severance, is presented in the section “Adjusted costs/nonoperating costs”.

Adjusted costs/nonoperating costs

Adjusted costs is one of the Group’s key performance indicators and is a non-GAAP financial measure for which the most directly comparable IFRS financial measure is noninterest expenses. Adjusted costs is calculated by deducting (i) impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets, (ii) net litigation charges and (iii) restructuring and severance, in total referred to as nonoperating costs, from noninterest expenses under IFRS. The Group believes that a presentation of noninterest expenses excluding the impact of these items provides a more meaningful depiction of the costs associated with its operating businesses.

Revenues excluding specific items

Revenues excluding specific items is a performance indicator that is a non-GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to the IFRS financial measure net revenues. Revenues excluding specific items is calculated by adjusting net revenues under IFRS for specific revenue items which generally fall outside the usual nature or scope of the business and are likely to distort an accurate assessment of the segmental operating performance. Excluded items are Debt Valuation Adjustment (DVA) and material transactions or events that are either one-off in nature or belong to a portfolio of connected transactions or events where the P&L impact is limited to a specific period of time. The Group believes that a presentation of net revenues excluding the impact of these items provides a more meaningful depiction of the revenues associated with the businesses.

By year end 2022 International Private Bank materially completed the wind-down of the majority of legacy assets and liabilities associated with Sal. Oppenheim. Remaining assets or liabilities are not expected to have material financial impacts going forward and will be included in the normal course of the client segment Wealth Management & Bank for Entrepreneurs. The associated disclosure of “specific revenues items” was discontinued starting in the first quarter of 2023.

Revenues and costs on a currency adjusted basis

Revenues and costs on a currency-adjusted basis are calculated by translating prior-period revenues or costs that were generated or incurred in non-euro currencies into euros at the foreign exchange rates that prevailed during the current year period. These adjusted figures, and period-to-period percentage changes based thereon, are intended to provide information on the development of underlying business volumes and costs.

Net assets (adjusted)

Net assets (adjusted) are defined as IFRS Total assets adjusted to reflect the recognition of legal netting agreements, offsetting of cash collateral received and paid and offsetting pending settlements balances. The Group believes that a presentation of net assets (adjusted) provides a better comparison to the Group’s competitors.

Book value and tangible book value per basic share outstanding

Book value per basic share outstanding and tangible book value per basic share outstanding are non-GAAP financial measures that are used and relied upon by investors and industry analysts as capital adequacy metrics. Book value per basic share outstanding represents the Bank’s total shareholders’ equity divided by the number of basic shares outstanding at period-end. Tangible book value represents the Bank’s total shareholders’ equity less goodwill and other intangible assets. Tangible book value per basic share outstanding is computed by dividing tangible book value by period-end basic shares outstanding.
