Global Economy2
3.2
3.4
In the first half of 2026, the global economy was marked by heightened
geopolitical uncertainty stemming from the Middle East conflict, which
triggered volatility in oil and gas prices and increased consumer price inflation.
The resulting loss of purchasing power, combined with weaker investment,
weighed on growth momentum
Of which:
Developed countries
1.4
1.7
In developed countries, the energy price volatility was felt to varying degrees,
depending on domestic reserves and sourcing capacities. Overall, the rise in
inflation reduced purchasing power and weighed on private consumption. In
response to mounting price pressures, some central banks began to raise
interest rates
Emerging markets
4.2
4.5
Emerging markets experienced energy price volatility to varying degrees. In
parts of Asia, high dependence on imports from the Middle East led to physical
shortages. In Latin America, the impact from energy prices was less
pronounced. Central European emerging economies remained resilient
Eurozone Economy3
0.4
1.3
The Eurozone economy was particularly exposed to the increase in oil and gas
prices, given its heavy reliance on imported energy. The resulting cost
pressures weighed on several industries, while rising inflation constrained
private consumption. The ECB responded with cautious monetary tightening,
beginning with an initial interest rate increase
Of which: Germany
Economy
0.3
0.2
The increase in energy prices weighed on private demand and investment.
Government consumption, however, provided a tailwind to the economy.
Manufacturing, in particular, has received a large number of public orders, but
capacity will need to be expanded before orders can be fulfilled
U.S. Economy3
2.4
2.1
In the United States, growth proved resilient, supported in particular by strong
artificial intelligence (AI)-related investment. Private consumption, by contrast,
felt the effects of elevated inflation. With the labor market remaining stable,
the Federal Reserve decided to keep policy rates unchanged during the first
half of the year
Japanese Economy3
0.5
1.1
Japan’s economy lost momentum in the first half of the year as oil prices rose.
However, ample industrial inventories and diversified supply chains mitigated
the impact. Private consumption was constrained by weaker real incomes. The
Bank of Japan continued its monetary tightening with a further interest rate
increase
Asia Economy3,5
5.1
5.5
Asia’s economic momentum was weakened by the increase in energy prices,
policy measures in several Asian countries helped to contain the acceleration
of inflation and limit the reduction in demand. Export growth remained
resilient, supported by robust investment activity
Of which: Chinese
Economy
4.3
5.0
China’s economy was supported by strong export performance, particularly the
demand for AI-related products, in the first half of the year. Domestic demand
lost momentum as inflation increased and government spending weakened.
The People’s Bank of China left monetary policy unchanged

Lending to the private sector continued to pick up in the
first half of 2026, especially with corporates. Momentum
has reached its highest level in more than three years.
However, this improvement is likely driven by a
normalization following the 2023/24 downturn, rather than
higher credit demand as the real economy remains weak
and interest rates have increased slightly. Similar trends
were observed on the funding side with corporate deposits
more dynamic than retail deposits
Of which:
Germany1
1.1
1.8
1.4
2.9
In the first few months of the year, the gap between loan
growth in Germany and the Eurozone aggregate widened
due to the impact from increased energy prices as a result
of the Middle East conflict, and potentially reflecting
delays in expected domestic structural economic reforms.
Lending to companies increased slightly, while household
lending was essentially flat. In both cases, growth rates
stayed consistently below inflation. Moderate expansion of
retail deposits continued, while corporate deposits slowed

6.22
Supported by a resilient U.S. economy, loan growth within
the corporate sector accelerated significantly in the first
half of 2026, to a level last seen in 2023. This was mainly
the result of commercial lending. Retail loans continued to
expand only moderately. Total deposit accumulation also
accelerated, with deposit growth reaching its highest level
since the COVID-19 pandemic
China1

Private sector lending slowed further in recent months, for
the first time since records began in 2007. This is a
fundamental shift after decades of double-digit growth.
Compared to the nominal GDP trend, this amounts to
considerable deleveraging. On the funding side, deposit-
taking with households also weakened to the lowest level
in years, while it remained largely flat with companies

The Investment Banking & Capital Markets industry fee pool was € 52.8 billion in the first half of 2026, up 16%
year on year. This was the second highest fee pool in the first half of the year since 2021, demonstrating
continued momentum in industry activity during the current growth cycle. Despite market volatility due to the
Middle East conflict, the fee pool exceeded prior-year levels in each of the first six months of 2026. The mergers &
acquisitions fee pool, largely reflecting closed deals, reached a record level for first half of 2026 at € 20.1 billion,
14% higher than the same period in the prior year, supported by strong announced deal volumes in 2025. This
strong announced activity has continued into this year, but remains skewed towards the U.S. and megadeals. In
Capital Markets, the Equity Capital Markets fee pool was € 9.9 billion, 64% higher year on year, led by a sharp
increase in initial public offerings, especially in the U.S. Leverage Debt Capital Markets fees were broadly flat year
on year at € 8.8 billion, with the industry impacted by concerns over artificial intelligence’s impact on software
companies and a rise in borrowing costs for high yield clients after oil prices spiked in the first quarter of 2026.
However, the second quarter of 2026 improved year on year as some of these concerns subsided. In Investment
Grade Debt Capital Markets, fees reached record levels for the first half of the year at € 14 billion, supported by
record volumes and strong levels of activity across corporates, financial institutions as well as sovereigns,
supranationals and agencies. In Fixed Income, revenue pools are expected to be slightly higher than the strong
first six months of 2025. Foreign exchange client activity increased marginally across the ten most traded
currencies globally, notably against a backdrop of elevated volatility in the first quarter of 2026. Emerging
Markets activity also increased and was driven primarily by Foreign Exchange activity. In Rates, activity was
expected to be slightly lower in the first half of 2026 versus a very strong prior year period. Credit Trading has
improved compared to the prior year, which saw credit spreads and secondary trading temporarily impacted by
the market reaction to the U.S. administration’s tariff policy announced in the second quarter of 2025. In
Financing, client demand for the first half of 2026 remained robust and largely in line with the prior year period.

Deutsche Bank
Strategy
Interim Report as of June 30, 2026
Strategy
The following section provides an overview of Deutsche Bank’s implementation of its strategy during the first six months
of 2026 and should be read in conjunction with the strategy section in the Annual Report 2025.
Scaling the Global Hausbank
Deutsche Bank’s strategy, Scaling the Global Hausbank, focuses on accelerating value creation through focused growth,
disciplined capital management and a scalable operating model. Shareholder value add (SVA) remains the central
steering principle, guiding resource allocation and accountability across the bank.
Key performance indicators for 2028:
Financial targets:
Post-tax return on average tangible equity of greater than 13% for the Group
Cost/income ratio of below 60%
Capital objectives:
CET1 capital ratio within an operating range of 13.5% to 14.0%, with a 200 basis points distance to the Maximum
Distributable Amount (MDA) as a floor
60% total payout ratio from 2026 and distribution of excess capital when CET1 capital ratio is sustainably above 14%
Post-tax return on average tangible equity is a non-GAAP financial measure. Please refer to “Supplementary information:
Non-GAAP financial measures” of this report for the definitions of such measures and reconciliations to the IFRS
numbers on which they are based.
Deutsche Bank’s financial targets and capital objectives are based on the bank’s 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.
Progress on strategy implementation
During the first six months of 2026, Deutsche Bank made further progress in executing its strategy, delivering focused
growth while maintaining disciplined capital deployment and advancing its scalable operating model. The bank has
delivered revenue growth consistent with the bank’s 2026 revenue ambition of around € 33 billion with strong
contribution from the Investment Bank and focused growth areas, including asset gathering in Private Bank and Asset
Management. The bank maintained strict capital discipline and announced the sale of the Private Bank’s India franchise,
which is expected to be SVA-positive upon closing next year, and took a number of capital-accretive measures across the
businesses. In addition, the bank progressed on its scalable operating model by continuing to simplify the operating
model in the Private Bank and made targeted investments in technology and front-to-back capabilities across the bank.
For example, the Corporate Bank continued investing in its Cash Management capabilities and strengthening its
coverage and sales platforms with multinational companies.
The bank has completed the majority of its current € 1 billion share repurchase program and received supervisory
approval for a second share repurchase program of € 500 million, to be executed in the second half of 2026. This second
repurchase program contributes to the target payout ratio of 60% in relation to the net profit of 2026.
Sustainability
Deutsche Bank sustainability highlights included:
Supporting a German electricity grid operator with a € 100 million loan to finance investments in grid infrastructure,
including substations, grid connectivity and charging infrastructure. More than 90% of revenues are generated from
sustainable activities under the company’s framework
Participating in a € 3.0 billion inaugural green bond for an Asia-Pacific public transport operator, the largest euro-
denominated green bond issuance from APAC. Proceeds will fund eligible green projects under the issuer's
Sustainable Finance Framework, including renewable energy, low-carbon transportation and energy efficiency
Financing a German public transport operator who will allocate the proceeds of a € 180 million Green Schuldschein to
finance metro, bus and related-service refurbishments, supporting low-carbon and zero-emission public transport

The information presented in this section is based on IFRS as issued by the IASB (IASB IFRS), whereas Deutsche Bank’s
financial targets and capital objectives are based on financial results prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the
IASB and endorsed by the EU (EU IFRS). The IASB IFRS financial results may materially differ from the EU-IFRS results as
Deutsche Bank applies hedge accounting under the EU carve-out. Deutsche Bank does not use the IASB IFRS financial
results as a basis for measuring the bank’s progress towards its financial targets or capital objectives. For additional
details, please refer to “Basis of preparation/impact of changes in accounting principles” in this report.
Deutsche Bank reported profit before tax of € 3.4 billion in the second quarter of 2026, up by € 411 million, or 14%,
compared with the prior year quarter. Post-tax profit was € 2.4 billion in the second quarter of 2026, up by € 285 million,
or 13%, from the prior year quarter.
Post-tax return on average shareholders’ equity (RoE) was 12.5%, up from 11.0% in the prior year quarter. Post-tax return
on average tangible shareholders’ equity (RoTE) was 14.0%, up from 12.2% in the prior year quarter. Cost/income ratio
was 58%, improved from 59% in the second quarter of last year.
Net revenues in the second quarter of 2026 increased by 10% year on year to € 9.2 billion, reflecting growth across all
business segments. Net commission and fee income grew by € 186 million or 7% to € 2.9 billion compared to the prior
year period. Net interest income was € 4.3 billion, up by € 458 million, or 12%, versus the prior year period. Net interest
income in the key banking book segments increased by 5% to € 3.6 billion, from € 3.4 billion in the prior year period.
Noninterest expenses were € 5.3 billion, up 8% year on year, driven by increases in fixed-pay and performance-related
compensation, continued investments in the franchise as well as the impact of the announced sale of the Private Bank’s
India franchise, and the non-recurrence of litigation-related releases that benefited the prior-year quarter, partly offset
by operating efficiencies.
Provision for credit losses was € 460 million in the second quarter of 2026, or 37 basis points of average loans, an
increase of 9% compared with the prior year quarter. The impact from the planned exit of certain non-performing
exposures as part of capital-accretive de-risking actions was partially offset by overlay releases.
Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio was 13.9% at the end of June 2026, in line with the bank's operating
range, after reflecting capital deductions consistent with its 60% payout ratio. In July, Deutsche Bank announced a
new € 500 million share repurchase program, funded from 2026 net profit and fully covered by existing capital
deductions.
Deutsche Bank’s profit before tax was € 5.6 billion in the first six months of 2026, up by € 153 million, or 3%, versus the
prior year period, driven by slightly higher revenues, partly offset by slightly higher noninterest expenses and higher
provision for credit losses. Post-tax profit was € 4.0 billion in the first six months of 2026, up by € 111 million, or 3%,
versus the prior year period.
RoE in the first six months of 2026 was 10.0% versus 9.8% in the prior year period. RoTE was 11.1%, compared to 10.9% in
the prior year period. The cost/income ratio was 62%, essentially flat versus the prior year period.
Net revenues were € 17.0 billion for the first six months of 2026, up by € 513 million, or 3%, year on year. Net commission
and fee income grew by € 239 million or 4% to € 5.7 billion compared to the prior year period. Net interest income in the
first half of 2026 was € 8.4 billion, up 8% from € 7.7 billion in the prior year period. Net interest income in the key banking
book segments increased by 6% to € 7.2 billion, from € 6.8 billion in the prior year period.
Noninterest expenses increased by € 276 million, or 3%, to € 10.5 billion in the first six months of 2026. The increase was
driven by planned incremental investments in technology enhancements, operating model optimization in the Private
Bank and hiring across Wealth Management and Investment Banking & Capital Markets as well as the expansion of
Corporate Bank solutions. Partly offsetting were operating efficiencies through workforce and target operating model
measures.
In the first six months of 2026, provision for credit losses was € 979 million, or 40 basis points of average loans, up 9%
from € 894 million in the prior year period.
Net interest income in the key banking book segments and post-tax return on average tangible shareholders’ equity are

Private Bank
Profit before tax was € 605 million in the second quarter of 2026, in line with the prior year period. This development was
primarily driven by higher noninterest expenses and credit loss provisions, offset by 8% year-on-year growth in revenues.
Post-tax RoE and post-tax RoTE increased to 10.8% and 11.3% compared to 10.4% and 10.8% respectively in the prior
year quarter. The cost/income ratio remained in line with the prior year quarter at 70%.
Net revenues were € 2.6 billion, up 8% year on year. Net interest income increased by 10% to € 1.7 billion, while net
commission and fee income was higher at € 0.8 billion compared to the prior year period. Revenue growth was driven by
significantly higher deposit and investment product revenues in line with the bank’s strategy, partially offset by
significantly lower other banking services. In Personal Banking, revenues were up 6% year on year at € 1.4 billion, as
significantly higher deposit revenues were partially offset by significantly lower revenues from other banking services. In
Wealth Management, revenues grew by 11% year on year to € 1.2 billion, reflecting higher revenues in deposits and
investment products, while lending revenues were slightly lower year on year.
Provision for credit losses was € 177 million in the second quarter of 2026, or 29 basis points of average loans. In the
prior year quarter, provision for credit losses was € 118 million, or 19 basis points of average loans, benefitting from a
model update. Credit quality remained resilient, with provisions reflecting stable portfolio quality.
Noninterest expenses were € 1.8 billion, up 8% year on year, reflecting continued incremental investments including
severance costs and the upfront impact of the announced sale of Private Bank’s India franchise. 
Assets under management were € 732 billion at quarter end, reflecting continued growth with € 9 billion net inflows and
€ 28 billion positive market development.
For the first six months of 2026, the Private Bank reported a profit before tax of € 1.3 billion, up € 191 million, or 17%,
year on year. Post-tax RoE rose to 11.5%, from 9.4% in the prior year period, while post-tax RoTE was 12.0%, up from
9.5%. The cost/income ratio improved to 68% from 70% in the prior year period. These developments were primarily
attributable to a revenue increase of 7% to € 5.1 billion driven by significantly higher net interest income, while net
commission and fee income was slightly higher. Partly offsetting this were slightly higher noninterest expenses of
€ 3.5 billion, predominantly driven by the upfront impact related to divestment and continued incremental investments
including severance cost. Provision for credit losses was € 356 million, up from € 336 million in the corresponding prior
year period. The development reflects stable portfolio quality, while the prior year benefited from a credit loss provision
model update. The Private Bank recorded net inflows into assets under management of € 20.3 billion in the first six
months of the year.

3Assets under Management include assets held on behalf of customers for investment purposes and/or client assets that are advised or managed by Deutsche Bank. They
are managed on a discretionary or advisory basis or are deposited with the bank. Deposits are considered Assets under Management if they serve investment purposes. In
Personal Banking, this includes Term deposits and Savings deposits. In Wealth Management (excl. Business Banking), it is assumed that all customer deposits are held
with the bank primarily for investment purposes and accordingly are classified as Assets under Management. In instances in which the Private Bank distributes investment
products qualifying as Assets under Management which are managed by DWS, these assets are reported as Assets under Management for Private Bank and for Asset
Management (DWS) because they are two distinct, independent qualifying services

Interim Report as of June 30, 2026
Asset Management
Profit before tax was € 224 million in the second quarter of 2026, essentially flat year on year, as slightly higher net
revenues were offset by higher noninterest expenses. Post-tax RoE was 14.2%, up from 11.6% in the prior year quarter,
and post-tax RoTE was 38.8%, up from 26.0% compared to the prior year quarter. The cost/income ratio was 62%, up
from 60% in the second quarter of 2025.
Net revenues were € 756 million, slightly higher year on year at 4%. Management fees grew significantly by 13% year on
year to € 709 million, benefitting from strong markets and net flows resulting in increasing average assets under
management. Performance and transaction fees decreased significantly to € 11 million, predominantly reflecting lower
performance fees, as the prior-year period benefited from higher performance fees in Alternatives, while other revenues
were slightly down 3% year on year to € 36 million primarily driven by unfavorable valuation of guaranteed products,
partially offset by decreased funding charges.
Noninterest expenses were € 469 million, up 7% year on year, primarily reflecting higher fund-related service costs driven
by increased assets under management, as well as share price related compensation effects.
Assets under management increased by € 97 billion to € 1,190 billion during the second quarter of 2026. The increase
was primarily driven by strong markets and net flows, supported by favorable foreign exchange effects. Net flows were
€ 25 billion in the second quarter of 2026, compared to € 8 billion in the prior year quarter, predominantly driven by
Passive and Cash products.
For the first six months of 2026, profit before tax was € 504 million, significantly up 17% year on year. Post-tax RoE
increased to 16.1%, from 10.8% in the corresponding prior year period, and post-tax RoTE rose to 44.4%, from 24.2% in
the prior year period. The improvement in both ratios was supported by the update to the equity allocation framework
for Asset Management. The cost/income ratio improved to 59%, from 62% in the corresponding prior year period. This
development was driven by 7% growth in net revenues to € 1.6 billion, while noninterest expenses remained essentially
flat at € 914 million. Assets under management increased to € 1,190 billion, reflecting continued strong markets and net
inflows (mainly Passive), as well as favorable foreign exchange developments.

2Assets under Management (AuM) means assets (a) the segment manages on a discretionary or non-discretionary advisory basis; including where it is the management
company and portfolio management is outsourced to a third party; and (b) a third party holds or manages and on which the segment provides, on the basis of contract,
advice of an ongoing nature including regular or periodic assessment, monitoring and/or review. AuM represents both collective investments (including mutual funds and
exchange-traded funds) and separate client mandates. AuM are measured at current market value based on the local regulatory rules for asset managers at each
reporting date, which might differ from the fair value rules applicable under IFRS. Measurable levels are available daily for most retail products but may only update
monthly, quarterly or even yearly for some products. While AuM do not include the segment’s investments accounted for under equity method, they do include seed
capital and any committed capital on which the segment earns management fees. In instances in which Private Bank distributes investment products qualifying as Assets
under Management which are managed by DWS, these assets are reported as Assets under Management for Private Bank and for Asset Management (DWS) because they
are two distinct, independent qualifying services

Interim Report as of June 30, 2026
Corporate Bank
Profit before tax was € 691 million in the second quarter of 2026, down by 6% year on year, driven by slightly higher
noninterest expenses and significantly higher provision for credit losses partly offset by a slight increase in revenues.
Post-tax RoE was 15.0%, down from 16.2% in the prior year quarter, and post-tax RoTE was 16.4%, down from 17.6% in
the prior year quarter. The cost/income ratio was 62%, up from 60% in the second quarter of 2025.
Net revenues were € 1.9 billion in the second quarter of 2026, up 1% year on year, supported by higher business volumes,
interest rate hedging and growth in net commission and fee income, compared against a very strong prior year quarter.
Corporate Treasury Services revenues were € 1.1 billion, up 3% year on year, benefitting from higher business volumes
and interest rate hedges. Institutional Client Services revenues declined by 6% year on year to € 496 million, mostly
driven by the non-repetition of certain items in the prior year period, partly offset by higher business volumes and growth
in net commission and fee income. Business Banking revenues of € 326 million were up 3% year on year, as margin
normalization was offset by interest hedging and higher business volumes.
Provision for credit losses was € 38 million in the second quarter of 2026, or 13 basis points of average loans, reflecting
solid underlying portfolio quality, compared to € 22 million in the prior year quarter, which benefitted from model
updates.
Noninterest expenses were € 1.2 billion, up 4% year on year, driven by volume-related growth and franchise investments
as well as the non-recurrence of a litigation provision release in the prior year quarter, partially offset by disciplined cost
management.
For the first six months of 2026, profit before tax was € 1.3 billion, down 4% year on year. Post-tax RoE decreased to
14.2%, from 14.7% in the prior year period and post-tax RoTE was 15.6%, down from 15.9% in the prior year. The cost/
income ratio increased to 62%, from 61% in the prior year period. These developments were driven by a 1% decline in
revenues to € 3.7 billion and a 1% increase in noninterest expenses to € 2.3 billion, partly offset by a 13% decline in
provision for credit losses to € 86 million.

Profit before tax was € 1.3 billion in the second quarter of 2026, 59%, higher year on year, driven by significantly higher
revenues and a reduction in provision for credit losses, partially offset by higher noninterest expenses. Post-tax RoE was
12.9%, up from 8.4%, and post-tax RoTE was 13.4%, up from 8.7% in the prior year quarter. The cost/income ratio
improved to 53%, from 60% in the second quarter of last year.
Net revenues were € 3.2 billion, 19% higher compared to the prior year period, reflecting a record second quarter in Fixed
Income & Currencies (FIC) performance and significantly higher Investment Banking & Capital Markets (IBCM) revenues.
FIC delivered record second quarter revenues of € 2.6 billion, up 16% year on year. This is significantly higher than the
prior year quarter, driven by strength in FIC Markets. FIC Markets revenues increased by 27% year on year to € 1.7 billion,
led by Rates and Credit Trading growth, while FIC Financing revenues of € 905 million were essentially flat when
compared to a strong prior year quarter. IBCM revenues of € 559 million in the second quarter of 2026 were 36% higher
year on year, reflecting strength in both Equity Origination and Advisory in a growing industry fee pool (Dealogic).
Provision for credit losses was € 174 million in the second quarter, or 58 basis points of average loans, significantly lower
compared to the prior year quarter, as an overlay release and the non-recurring impact of model updates in the prior year
quarter more than offset the impact from the planned exit of certain non-performing exposures as part of capital-
accretive de-risking actions.
Noninterest expenses were € 1.7 billion, 6% higher year on year, materially driven by targeted hiring and performance-
related compensation.
For the first six months of 2026, profit before tax was € 2.8 billion, up 16% year on year. Post-tax RoE rose to 14.0%, from
12.9% in the corresponding period in the prior year, while post-tax RoTE was 14.5%, up from 13.3% in the prior year
period. The cost/income ratio improved to 51%, from 54% in the corresponding period in the prior year. This development
was driven by an 8% increase in net revenues to € 6.6 billion across both FIC and IBCM, partially offset by noninterest
expenses increasing by 3% to € 3.3 billion, and provision for credit losses increasing by 10% to € 464 million.

Interim Report as of June 30, 2026
Corporate & Other
Corporate & Other reported a profit before tax of € 537 million in the second quarter of 2026 driven by positive revenues
from valuation and timing differences. This is slightly lower compared to a profit before tax of € 563 million in the prior
year quarter.
Net revenues were positive € 754 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to positive € 660 million in the prior
year quarter. Revenues relating to valuation and timing differences were positive € 889 million reflecting gains on
portfolio hedges of interest rate risk, where fair value hedge accounting cannot be applied under IFRS as issued by the
IASB. This compares to positive € 751 million in the prior year quarter.
Provision for credit losses were € 70 million in the second quarter of 2026, driven by single-name events compared to
€ 25 million in the prior year quarter.
Noninterest expenses were € 210 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to € 137 million in the prior year
quarter with the year-on-year change driven by litigation. Expenses associated with shareholder activities were
€ 156 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to € 167 million in the prior year quarter.
Noncontrolling interests are reversed in Corporate & Other after deduction from the divisional profit before tax. These
were positive € 64 million for the second quarter of 2026 compared to positive € 65 million in the prior year quarter,
mainly related to DWS.
For the first six months of 2026, loss before tax was € 299 million, compared to a profit before tax of € 138 million for the
first six months of 2025. Net revenues were positive € 13 million driven by lower gains on portfolio hedges of interest rate
risk compared to positive € 396 million for the first six months of 2025. Noninterest expenses increased to € 382 million
from € 348 million for the first six months of 2025 driven by litigation provisions, with provision for credit losses at
€ 72 million in 2026 driven by single-name events compared to € 37 million in the first six months of 2025.

Financial Position
Interim Report as of June 30, 2026
Movements in assets and liabilities
As of June 30, 2026, the total balance sheet of € 1.5 trillion was higher compared to year end 2025.
Cash, central bank and interbank balances decreased by € 31.2 billion, primarily due to a € 22.8 billion increase in trading
assets, driven by higher exposure to government securities resulting from client activity and desk positioning. The
decrease also reflected growth in the bank’s European government bonds portfolio measured at amortized cost and fair
value through other comprehensive income.
Central bank funds sold, securities purchased under resale agreements, and securities borrowed measured at amortized
cost increased by € 6.6 billion , mainly driven by increased trading activities and client flows.
Positive and negative market values of derivative financial instruments increased by € 34.2 billion and € 34.3 billion,
respectively, primarily driven by increases in foreign exchange products in the Investment Bank, mainly due to
strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the euro and market movement.
Non-trading financial assets mandatory at fair value through profit or loss increased by € 17.9 billion, mainly driven by
securities purchased under resale agreements in relation to increased trading activities and client flows.
Loans at amortized cost increased by € 11.7 billion, primarily driven by growth in FIC in the Investment Bank, Trade
Finance and Lending in the Corporate Bank and Wealth Management in the Private Bank, partly offset by reductions in
select non-capital accretive retail lending books.
Remaining assets increased by € 19.2 billion, mainly due to € 7.4 billion rise in brokerage and securities-related
receivables, reflecting higher receivables arising from pending settlement of regular way trades and a € 7.3 billion
increase in debt securities held to collect, driven by the ongoing expansion of the bank’s European government bonds
portfolio under its asset purchase program..
Deposits increased by € 6.3 billion, supported by growth and campaign inflows across businesses as well as higher sight
deposit balances in Institutional Client Services in the Corporate Bank.
Trading liabilities increased by € 5.1 billion, mainly driven by higher short positions in government securities.
Financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss increased by € 29.4 billion, mainly attributable to an
increase in securities sold under repurchase agreements as a result of increased financing activities and client flows; as
well as an increase in long term debt driven by new issuances in FIC in the Investment Bank.
Other short-term borrowings increased by € 6.6 billion, primarily driven by newly issued commercial paper during the
period.
Remaining liabilities increased by € 8.3 billion, primarily due to higher accounts payable.
The overall movement of the balance sheet included an increase of € 15.0 billion, due to foreign exchange rate
movements, mainly driven by strengthening of the U.S. dollar versus the euro. The effects from foreign exchange rate
movements are embedded in the movement of the balance sheet line items discussed in this section.
Liquidity
Total high-quality liquid assets (HQLA) as defined in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/61, as amended by
Regulation (EU) 2018/1620, amounted to € 237.4 billion as of June 30, 2026, compared with € 260.0 billion as of
December 31, 2025. The liquidity coverage ratio was 140% in the second quarter of 2026, exceeding the minimum
regulatory requirement by € 67.9 billion. This compares to 144% or € 80.0 billion in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Financial Position
Interim Report as of June 30, 2026
Equity
Total equity as of June 30, 2026, was € 82.3 billion compared to € 82.3 billion as of December 31, 2025, an increase of
€ 50 million. Positive effects included the profit attributable to Deutsche Bank shareholders and additional equity
components reported for the period of € 3.8 billion, the issuance of Additional Tier 1 equity instruments (AT1) of
€ 1.3 billion as well as treasury shares distributed under share-based compensation plans of € 559 million.
Cash dividends paid to Deutsche Bank shareholders reduced total equity by € 1.9 billion, coupons paid to additional equity
components reduced total equity by € 796 million.
A share repurchase program resolved by the Management Board of Deutsche Bank AG of up to € 1.0 billion, but no more
than 100 million shares, started on February 26, 2026 and will end no later than August 28, 2026. As of June 30, 2026,
Deutsche Bank repurchased 25.4 million common shares. The repurchase of these shares has reduced total shareholder’s
equity by € 672 million. The acquisition costs of the repurchased shares are included in the total amount of treasury
shares purchased in the first six months of 2026 of € 1.2 billion. The remaining common shares to be repurchased of
€ 328 million have reduced total shareholder’s equity as obligation to repurchase common shares and are recognized in
other liabilities.
A redemption of Additional Tier 1 equity instruments (AT1) reduced total equity in the amount of € 801 million
(GBP 650 million) in the first six months of 2026. A related foreign exchange translation gain of € 51 million was
recognized in additional paid-in capital.
Changes in unrealized net gains/losses on accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, resulted in a positive
effect of € 68 million driven by unrealized net gains on foreign currency translation, net of tax, of € 448 million, primarily
resulting from the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro. Offsetting effects included unrealized net
losses on derivatives hedging the variability of cash flows, net of tax, of € 335 million, unrealized net losses attributable
to change in own credit risk of financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit and loss, net of tax, of
€ 15 million as well as unrealized net losses on financial assets at fair value through OCI, net of tax, of € 32 million.
Further contributing factors include a net change in share awards for the period of negative € 197 million, negative tax
effects related to share-based compensation plans of € 114 million, option premiums and other effects from options on
common shares of negative € 111 million as well as remeasurement losses related to defined benefit plans, net of tax, of
€ 91 million.

Deutsche Bank
Outlook
Interim Report as of June 30, 2026
There are a number of risks to the bank’s global economic outlook. Geopolitical risks remain elevated in the Middle East
and Ukraine. A continued conflict in the Middle East, particularly involving damage to oil and gas infrastructure, could
trigger energy price volatility. Fiscal policy is likely to become more expansionary in Europe and other regions. With debt
ratios rising, partly as a result of measures to shield economies from the increases in energy prices, the sustainability of
public finances could again be tested.
Banking industry
During the remainder of the year, the global banking industry might potentially benefit from a less volatile and more
supportive geopolitical backdrop which could lead to fewer headwinds for the macro economy and for banks. Demand
for credit may increase and asset quality is expected to overall remain benign. With interest rates in major regions
expected to be stable or even increase, net interest income is likely to stay resilient. Investment banking fees and trading
commissions may ease slightly after a strong first half of 2026. Overall, the banking sector is expected to sustain robust
profitability. Policymakers in Europe and the U.S. may pursue targeted adjustments to prudential regulation, aiming to
increase the competitiveness of their respective financial systems and improving the availability of funding for firms and
households.
In Europe, some of these effects could be more pronounced, if energy prices fell in case of a de-escalation of the Middle
East conflict and given fiscal stimulus measures, particularly in Germany. At the same time, reduced activity in capital
markets could lead to a slowdown in related fee and commission income. Higher interest rates could trigger greater
competition for deposits, along with organic market entries of digital foreign players. A stable market environment
combined with elevated profitability levels could foster banking sector consolidation. Large and partly rising public
deficits in several major countries have caused sovereign risk to re-emerge as a concern for financial markets and banks
alike.
In the US, a return to higher rates could lift banks’ interest margins further, while at the same time dampening loan
demand and raising credit losses. Concerns in equity and other markets about the sustainability of the recent rapid
growth in AI firms’ expenditures and valuations as well as of banks’ private credit exposures could pose a downside risk
for banks and asset managers.
In China, declining energy prices could also support banks’ businesses, but low inflation and consequently low interest
rates are expected to keep the industry’s net interest income relatively flat. Japanese banks face a more benign monetary
policy outlook, as further policy rate hikes by the Bank of Japan are expected to increase net interest income, while the
weak yen provides an additional boost from overseas earnings.
Regulatory initiatives continue to evolve across jurisdictions. In Europe, discussions on regulatory initiatives include
financial market infrastructure, bank competitiveness and the wider prudential framework. Key legislative files remain
under negotiation. In the U.S., regulators have proposed rules to implement the finalized Basel III framework, with
finalization expected by the end of 2026.

7Ordinary distributions in respect of financial year 2026 and thereafter
In 2026, Deutsche Bank expects revenues to be slightly higher compared to the prior year. Revenues at Group level are
expected to be around € 33 billion in 2026, driven by the resilience and growth potential of the bank’s businesses and
continued business momentum, reflecting the bank’s diversified business mix.
In 2026, the Private Bank net revenues are expected to be higher compared to 2025. In Personal Banking, net revenues
are expected to be higher compared to the prior year, driven by growth in deposit and investment product revenues.
Lending revenues in Personal Banking are expected to be slightly lower in line with the bank’s strategy. In Wealth
Management, net revenues are expected to be higher compared to 2025 driven by increased investment product
revenues supported by continued business growth and dedicated hiring initiatives. Deposit revenues are expected to
grow, while lending revenues are expected to be slightly lower. The Private Bank assumes continued inflows in assets
under management in 2026 with corresponding volumes in assets under management expected to be higher
compared to year end 2025.
Asset Management expects total net revenues to be slightly higher compared to prior year. Management fees are anticipated to
be significantly higher compared to prior year, driven by increasing average assets under management. Performance and
transaction fees are expected to be significantly lower year‑on‑year, as the prior year benefited from elevated performance fees.
Assets under management are expected to be significantly higher compared to the end of prior year, from net inflows and
assuming constructive markets.
Corporate Bank expects further progress on its initiatives and growth in business volumes to support the performance in
2026. Net revenues are expected to be slightly higher compared to the prior year, driven by growth in net commission
and fee income in addition to growth in net interest income from Corporate and Business Banking clients. Corporate
Treasury Services revenues are anticipated to be slightly higher in 2026 compared to 2025, supported by growth in net
interest income and net commission and fee income from Trade Finance products. Institutional Client Services revenues
are anticipated to be slightly lower, as growth in net commission and fee income is expected to be more than offset by
the remaining impacts of net interest income normalization in Institutional Cash Management. In Business Banking,
revenues are expected to be slightly higher, driven by higher business volumes and higher net commission and fee
income.
Investment Bank revenues are expected to be higher in 2026 compared to the prior year. Fixed Income & Currencies
(FIC) revenues are expected to be slightly higher versus a strong 2025. The FIC Markets businesses will look to
maintain the momentum of a strong first half of 2026. It expects growth through targeted investments aligned with
client demand, in addition to continued technology development, while further enhancing client workflow solutions.
FIC Financing aims to build on a strong year to date supported by targeted balance sheet deployment. Investment
Banking & Capital Markets (IBCM) revenues are expected to be significantly higher in 2026 compared to the prior year,
supported by prior period and planned investments. All businesses are expected to benefit from the aforementioned
investments, with a particular focus on Advisory and Equity Origination. Debt Origination is expected to benefit from
reductions in mark-downs in 2026 and continued improvement in Investment Grade Debt.
23
Deutsche Bank
Outlook
Interim Report as of June 30, 2026
Corporate & Other is expected to generate a pre-tax loss of approximately € 0.2 billion per quarter for the remainder of 2026.
Corporate & Other will continue to record shareholder expenses, certain funding and liquidity impacts, the reversal of
noncontrolling interests reported in the business segments, primarily from DWS, and valuation and timing differences.
Deutsche Bank continues to manage the Group’s cost base towards its cost/income ratio target of below 60% by 2028
and remains highly disciplined on costs while progressing on its incremental investments. Noninterest expenses in 2026
are expected to be slightly above € 21 billion and therefore slightly higher compared to 2025. This reflects
approximately € 900 million of the bank’s planned € 1.5 billion of incremental investments through 2028, expected to be
incurred in 2026. These investments are intended to accelerate automation and digitalization, support the scaling of the
Wealth Management franchise, broaden the Corporate Bank’s client footprint and further expand IBCM’s capabilities.
These are expected to be partially offset by benefits from structural efficiency measures supporting at least € 2 billion in
operating efficiencies by 2028. For 2026, the bank expects the cost/income ratio to remain below 65%.
On provision for credit losses, asset quality remains strong, and overall, portfolios are performing in line with
expectations. Deutsche Bank remains vigilant to potential geopolitical and other risks in the operating environment and
expect the portfolios to remain resilient to those challenges. Based on the current trends Deutsche Bank continues to
expect provision for credit losses to be slightly lower in 2026 compared to the prior year. However, the bank may
consider limited and targeted measures that are both capital accretive and further de-risk the portfolio including
additional non-performing loans sales which may drive overall provisions to be slightly higher. Deutsche Bank remains
committed to stringent underwriting standards and a strong risk management framework to manage emerging risks.
Further details on the calculation of expected credit losses can be found in the section "Risk information" in this report.
Common Equity Tier 1 ratio (CET1 ratio) by year end 2026 is expected to be slightly lower compared to year end 2025.
On a net basis, RWA are expected to be higher driven by capital-efficient business growth, model impacts and mitigation
actions. Deutsche Bank aims for a Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio between 13.5% and 14.0%, while maintaining a
minimum buffer of 200 basis points above the bank’s Maximum Distributable Amount threshold (MDA). The bank has
completed the majority of its current € 1 billion share repurchase program and received supervisory approval for a
second share repurchase program of € 500 million, to be executed in the second half of 2026. This second repurchase
program contributes to the target payout ratio of 60% in relation to the net profit of 2026.
For a discussion of the risks and opportunities for the outlook of Deutsche Bank please refer to the section “Risks and
Opportunities” of this report.
Post-tax Return on Average Tangible Equity is a non-GAAP financial measure. Please refer to “Supplementary
information: Non-GAAP financial measures” of this report for the definitions of such measures and reconciliations to
the IFRS measures on which they are based.
Our financial targets and capital objectives 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.

Deutsche Bank
Risk and Opportunities
Interim Report as of June 30, 2026
Risks and Opportunities
Deutsche Bank’s risks and opportunities have not materially changed compared to the information presented in the Risk
and Opportunities section of the Annual Report 2025. The macroeconomic and geopolitical environment in the first half
of 2026 has seen some uncertainty due to the Middle East conflict. While market volatility and oil price increases
associated with the Middle East crisis are currently below the peaks, tensions have re-escalated and could lead to further
inflationary pressure and increased volatility in financial markets. If potential market volatility results in higher interest
rates, this could create opportunities for Deutsche Bank and result in higher net interest income.
Technology‑related risks in the first half of 2026 have seen the rapid advancement of AI technologies, with cyber threats
continuing to evolve at an accelerated pace. This advancement increases the likelihood that security vulnerabilities could
be exploited with greater speed or scale as growth in AI continues to accelerate across industries. Additionally, the
amount of capital expenditure being committed to AI infrastructure and related technologies has contributed to
elevated valuations in parts of the technology sector and could impact the timing of future returns or impact the bank’s
financial results. Whereas Deutsche Bank sees additional opportunities related to AI with the potential to increase the
speed at which AI is implemented to accelerate and exceed planned benefits, including revenue growth, and reduce the
bank’s cost base and enhance operational efficiencies even further than anticipated.
Potential European Union (EU) measures including, the One Europe One Market Roadmap agreed between the European
Commission, European Parliament and Council of the EU in April 2026 with further communication published in July 2026,
could bring improvements in the regulatory and operational landscape for Deutsche Bank in terms of alleviating regulatory
burden or creating better opportunities in Germany and the EU. Furthermore, Germany’s recently announced reform
package, including income tax relief and pension reforms, could support stronger economic activity and create additional
loan and revenue growth opportunities across the bank’s businesses.

Risk information
Interim Report as of June 30, 2026
Key risk themes
In the following section, Deutsche Bank provides details on key risk themes currently in focus and thus of high relevance
for the Group. This section should be read in conjunction with the information presented in the ”Key Risk Themes“ and
“Focus Areas in 2025” sections of the Annual Report 2025.
Credit Risk
The latest developments and key uncertainties in the first half of 2026 have been considered as part of the bank’s
ongoing credit risk management activities and governance framework. These activities include, but are not limited to,
regular emerging risk reviews (amongst others from macroeconomic development and geopolitical conflict) as well as
portfolio deep dives, single name risk assessments, and regular model validations.
Portfolios and themes which have been identified for enhanced monitoring and downside risk assessment by the Group in
the first half of 2026 included CRE, the Middle East conflict, Private Credit, Technology and Climate Risk. Whilst risks in
the CRE portfolio remain elevated, higher risk U.S. CRE exposures have been reduced by approximately 41% since 2022
with further de-risking actions initiated in the second quarter 2026. The risk profile of the Private Credit, Technology and
Climate Risk portfolios have not changed materially since December 31, 2025. The Middle East remains dynamic, driven
by ongoing conflict in the region and the effect on oil prices and second-order impacts, resulting in a partial retention in
the second quarter of 2026 of the macro-economic management overlay recognized as of March 31, 2026. CRE and
Middle East are further discussed below.
Commercial Real Estate
While CRE markets remain affected by higher interest rates and reduced demand for office properties, broader market
indices point towards a stabilization of CRE prices. Green Street Commercial Property Price Index (CPPI), increased by
approximately 1.5% . between the fourth quarter of 2025 and the second quarter of 2026.
The Provision for credit losses this quarter reflects specific cases, mainly in U.S. West Coast Commercial Real Estate as
well as the planned exit of certain non-performing exposures. The main risks within the portfolio relate to refinancing and
extension of maturing loans, which are adversely affected by higher interest rates, lower collateral values and valuation
declines on legacy defaulted exposures. CRE loans often have a significant portion of principal payable at maturity.
Under current market conditions, borrowers may have difficulty obtaining a new loan to repay the maturing debt or to
meet conditions that allow an extension of the loan. Deutsche Bank is closely monitoring the CRE portfolio for
development of such risks.
The Group continues to proactively work with borrowers to address upcoming maturities to establish terms for loan
amendments and extensions, which in many cases are classified as forbearance triggering Stage 2 classification under
IFRS 9. However, in certain cases, the borrower may be subject to idiosyncratic factors, or be unable to restructure or
refinance, and therefore is classified as defaulted. Allowance for credit losses as of June 30, 2026 amounted to
€ 1.3 billion for the non-recourse portfolio and € 1.1 billion for the stress-tested CRE portfolio (December 31, 2025:
€ 1.1 billion and € 903 million respectively).
The following table presents the non-recourse CRE portfolio subject to bespoke stress-test by IFRS 9 stages, region,
property type and average weighted loan to value (LTV) as well as allowance and provision for credit losses recorded as
of June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively.

2Germany accounts for ca 10% of the total stress-tested CRE portfolio as of June 30, 2026 and 9% as of December 31, 2025, respectively.
3Office loans in Germany accounted for 15% of total office loans in the stress-tested CRE portfolio as of June 30, 2026, and 14% as of December 31, 2025, respectively.
4Allowance for Credit Losses and Provision for Credit Losses do not include country risk allowances/provisions.
The decrease in the stress-tested CRE portfolio since December 31, 2025, was € 922 million mainly driven by loan
repayments. The weighted average LTV in the U.S. office loan segment was 92% as of June 30, 2026, versus 88% as of
December 31, 2025. However when considering allowance for credit losses, the weighted average net LTV in the same
U.S. Office loan segment was 75% as of June 30, 2026 versus 76% as of December 31, 2025. LTV calculations are based
on latest externally appraised values which are additionally subject to regular interim internal adjustments.
Based on the stress test assumptions and utilizing the stress-tested CRE portfolio of € 23.4 billion as of June 30, 2026, a
stressed scenario could result in approximately € 1.3 billion of credit losses, over multiple years based on the respective
maturity profile. The allowance recorded against the stress tested portfolio was € 1.1 billion as of June 30, 2026.
29
Deutsche Bank
Risk information
Interim Report as of June 30, 2026
The bespoke stress test has numerous limitations, including but not restricted to a lack of differentiation based on
individual asset performance, specific location or asset desirability, all of which could have a material impact on potential
stress losses. Furthermore, calculated stress losses are sensitive to potential further deterioration of peak-to-trough
index values and assumptions about incremental haircuts and incremental stress loss can therefore change in the future.
Changes in the underlying assumptions could lead to a wider range of stress results and hence the Group's bespoke
stress approach should be viewed as one of multiple possible scenarios. While the stress test aims to assess potential
losses in an adverse scenario, Deutsche Bank believes that based on currently available information, the ECL estimate
related to the Group’s CRE portfolio is within a reasonable range and thus represents the bank’s best estimate,
considering the advanced stage of the current down cycle which is pointing towards stabilization as real estate values
have adjusted to the shocks from higher interest rates and remote working trends.
Middle East conflict
The Middle East remains dynamic, with elevated oil prices for much of the quarter due to the conflict and closure of the
Strait of Hormuz, with the signing of a framework peace agreement in mid June led to oil prices falling back to pre-
conflict levels, however the conflict has re-escalated in recent weeks and the outlook remains uncertain.
Deutsche Bank’s direct exposure in the region is limited with exposures mainly to investment grade rated countries and
no exposure to Iran and Lebanon, while second order risks are in focus, with potential vulnerabilities in sectors such as
Manufacturing & Engineering, Transportation, Automotive and Steel, Metal & Mining where deep dives and scenario
analysis including stress testing have been conducted on an ongoing basis.

RWA of Deutsche Bank were € 367.2 billion as of June 30, 2026, compared to € 347.1 billion at the end of 2025. The
increase of € 20.0 billion was driven by credit risk RWA, market risk RWA and operational risk RWA, partly offset by credit
valuation adjustment RWA.
Credit risk RWA increased by € 16.6 billion, mainly due to business growth, particularly within the Investment Bank, and
due to impacts from model-related changes and foreign exchange movements. This was partially offset by credit risk
RWA decreases resulting from lower RWA to clearing houses and new securitizations.
Market risk RWA increased by € 1.9 billion, primarily driven by higher Value-at-Risk (VaR) RWA resulting from increased
market volatility triggered by the Middle East conflict. This increase was partially offset by lower stressed-Value-at-Risk
(sVaR) RWA, mainly resulting from a change in the market risk stress window, and by a decrease in the market risk
standardized approach, principally caused by reduced inventory in the Fixed Income and Currencies business. Deutsche
Bank's operational risk RWA increased by € 2.1 billion, driven by the update to audited financial statements reflecting
the final regulatory guidance for the business indicator. Credit valuation adjustment RWA decreased by € 0.4 billion,
primarily driven by increased hedging activities.

(ECB/2015/4); current years deductions include deductions for future shareholder distribution of € 2.1 billion and AT1 coupons of € 0.1 billion
2Includes capital deductions of € 1.4 billion (December 2025: € 1.4 billion) based on ECB guidance on irrevocable payment commitments related to the Single Resolution
Fund and the Deposit Guarantee Scheme and € 0.6 billion (December 2025: € 0.7 billion) based on ECB’s supervisory recommendation for a prudential provisioning of
non-performing exposures
3 Differences in “equity per balance sheet” result entirely from deviations in profit (loss) after taxes due to the application of EU carve-out rules as set forth in the Note 1
"Material accounting policies and critical accounting estimates" of the Group’s Annual Report 2025. These rules were initially applied in the first quarter 2020
Deutsche Bank’s shareholders’ equity amounted to € 66.7 billion as of June 30, 2026, compared to € 66.9 billion at the
end of 2025. The decrease of € 0.3 billion was largely in line with the development of the total equity (for additional
information please refer to the “Equity” section in this report). Shareholders’ equity is adjusted for minority interests
recognized in CET1 capital, amounting to € 0.9 billion and foreseeable charges of € 2.3 billion. Foreseeable charges
include € 2.1 billion of regulatory deductions for intended future shareholder distributions relating to the Group’s 60%
payout ratio in respect of financial year 2026 and € 0.1 billion of accrued AT1 coupon payments. Therefore, CET1 capital
before regulatory adjustments amounted to € 65.3 billion, an increase of € 1.1 billion compared to December 31, 2025.
Deductions for prudential filters and regulatory adjustments decreased by € 0.8 billion since December 31, 2025. These
were mainly driven by changes in cash flow hedge reserves and own credit risk on fair-valued liabilities of € 0.5 billion, a
reduction in the expected loss shortfall of € 0.3 billion and lower deferred tax assets of € 0.2 billion These impacts were
partly offset by an increased deduction for additional value adjustments of € 0.1 billion, as well as the newly introduced
deduction for securitization positions no longer included in risk-weighted assets of € 0.1 billion Therefore, CET1 capital
amounted to € 51.1 billion, an increase of € 1.8 billion compared to December 31, 2025.
As of June 30, 2026, Deutsche Bank's CET1 ratio was 13.9%, a decrease of 27 basis points compared to
December 31, 2025. The development was primarily driven by higher RWA as outlined in the previous section, partly
offset by the increase in CET1 capital as outlined above.

Interim Report as of June 30, 2026
Economic capital adequacy ratio and economic capital
The economic capital adequacy ratio was 196% as of June 30, 2026, compared to 194% as of December 31, 2025. The
increase was driven by an increase in economic capital supply, partly offset by an increase in economic capital demand.
Economic capital supply amounted to € 52.5 billion as of June 30, 2026, compared to € 50.5 billion as of
December 31, 2025. The increase of € 2.0 billion was mainly driven by a positive net income of € 4.0 billion, currency
translation adjustments of € 0.5 billion, lower capital deductions from deferred tax assets of € 0.3 billion and from
expected loss shortfall of € 0.3 billion. These increases were partly offset by € 2.3 billion of deductions for intended
future shareholder distributions relating to the Group’s 60% payout ratio in respect of the financial year 2026 and
accrued AT1 coupon payments, equity compensation of € 0.6 billion and higher capital deduction from additional value
adjustments of € 0.1 billion.
Economic capital demand amounted to € 26.7 billion as of June 30, 2026, which represents an increase of € 0.7 billion
compared to € 26.1 billion as of December 31, 2025. Market risk increased by € 2.3 billion mainly driven by a change in
the stress window used in the economic capital model. Operational risk increased by € 0.1 billion primarily due to an
increased number of internal losses and adverse developments of external losses. These increases were partly offset by
higher risk type diversification and lower credit risk. The risk type diversification benefit increased by € 1.2 billion
reflecting the market risk stress window change and the annual model recalibration. Credit risk decreased by € 0.5 billion
mainly due to sovereign rating improvements as well as lower transfer risk.

In the first half of 2026, Tier 1 capital increased by € 2.3 billion to € 63.1 billion. The increase was driven by the increase
in CET1 capital, as discussed in the section “CET1 capital reconciliation to shareholders equity”, and by the issuance of a
new AT 1 capital instrument with a total principal amount of € 1.25 billion, partly offset by the exercise of the call option
on an AT 1 capital instrument with a total principal amount of £ 650 million (€ 0.8 billion equivalent).
Leverage exposure increased by € 72.5 billion to € 1,400.0 billion. The leverage exposure for total on-balance sheet
exposures (excluding derivatives and SFTs) increased by € 28.1 billion, largely in line with the development of the
balance sheet. For additional information on the development of the balance sheet please refer to section “Movements
in assets and liabilities” in this report. In addition, the leverage exposure for securities financing transactions (SFTs)
increased by € 20.7 billion, also largely in line with the development of the balance sheet. Furthermore, the leverage
exposure related to derivatives increased by € 12.6 billion, driven by replacement costs and potential future exposure
add-ons under the Standardized Approach for Counterparty Credit Risk (SA-CCR) as well as effective notional amounts
of written credit derivatives. Moreover, off-balance-sheet leverage exposures increased by € 10.8 billion, corresponding
to higher notional amounts for irrevocable lending commitments and financial guarantees.
The increase in leverage exposure in the first half of 2026 included a positive foreign exchange impact of € 16.4 billion,
mainly due to the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar against the Euro. The effects from foreign exchange rate movements
are embedded in the movement of the leverage exposure items discussed in this section.
As of June 30, 2026, Deutsche Bank’s leverage ratio was 4.5%, compared to 4.6% as of December 31, 2025. This reflects
Tier 1 capital of € 63.1 billion and an applicable exposure measure of € 1,400.0 billion as of June 30, 2026 (€ 60.8 billion
and € 1,327.4 billion as of December 31, 2025, respectively).

Interim Report as of June 30, 2026
MREL ratio and surplus
As of June 30, 2026, available MREL was € 133.7 billion, corresponding to a ratio of 36.41% of RWA. This means that
Deutsche Bank had a surplus of € 22.1 billion above the Group’s MREL requirement of € 111.6 billion (i.e. 30.40% of RWA
including combined buffer requirement). € 117.0 billion of the Group’s available MREL were own funds and subordinated
liabilities, corresponding to a MREL subordination ratio of 31.86% of RWA and 8.36% of LRE, a buffer of € 35.9 billion over
the Group’s subordination requirement of € 81.1 billion (i.e. 5.79% of LRE).
TLAC ratio and surplus
As of June 30, 2026, TLAC was € 117.0 billion and the corresponding TLAC ratios were 31.86% of RWA and 8.36% of LRE.
This means that Deutsche Bank had a TLAC surplus of € 22.5 billion over its TLAC requirement of € 94.5 billion (i.e.,
6.75% of LRE).
Development and composition of MREL ratio and TLAC ratio
Compared to December 31, 2025, the buffer over the MREL ratio requirement decreased, as a lower requirement and
higher available MREL were more than offset by higher RWA. The buffer over the MREL subordination ratio requirement
significantly increased mainly due to a lower requirement but also supported by higher available subordinated MREL
both more than offsetting higher LRE. The buffer over the TLAC ratio requirement decreased, as higher TLAC was more
than offset by higher LRE.
As of June 30, 2026, when comparing the buffer over the MREL subordination ratio requirement with the buffer over the
TLAC ratio requirement, the TLAC ratio was more binding which was not the case as of December 31, 2025.
Some senior preferred eligible liabilities included in MREL were reclassified from structured products to plain vanilla
following the regulatory treatment rather than the accounting view used previously. This had no impact on the Group’s
available MREL.
Liquidity Coverage Ratio
As of June 30, 2026, the Group's Liquidity Coverage Ratio was 140%, or € 67.9 billion above the regulatory minimum
requirement of 100%. In comparison, as of December 31, 2025, the Group's Liquidity Coverage Ratio was 144% or
€ 80.0 billion excess liquidity.
Stressed Net Liquidity Position
The stressed Net Liquidity Position decreased to € 76.7 billion as of June 30, 2026 in comparison to € 94.1 billion as of
December 31, 2025. The decrease was in large part due to increased net impact of loans of approximately € 13.0 billion,
increased modelled stress outflows relating to derivative and intraday positions of approximately € 8.0 billion, committed
facilities and business debt securities of approximately € 6.0 billion, partly offset by increased net stress compliant
deposits of approximately € 10.0 billion.
Net Stable Funding Ratio
The Group’s Net Stable Funding Ratio as of June 30, 2026 was 118% or a surplus of € 100.4 billion over the regulatory
minimum of 100% as compared with 119% as of December 31, 2025 or a surplus of € 104.0 billion over the regulatory
minimum.
IFRS 9 Impairment
Model overview
During the first half of 2026, Deutsche Bank continued to apply the same IFRS 9 impairment models and methodologies,
key assumptions and risk management activities as disclosed in the Annual Report 2025, except a change to the
methodology on how the refinancing risk overlay has been quantified. This change represents a change in estimate and
contributed to the overlay releases described in the IFRS 9 Expected Credit Losses section below. As outlined in the
Annual Report 2025, 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 the bank’s ECL.

Risk information
Interim Report as of June 30, 2026
The latest developments and key uncertainties in the first half of 2026 and their consideration in the ECL calculation,
based on the bank’s ongoing credit risk management activities and governance framework, are described in the section
‘Key risk themes’ in this report. Activities targeted at assessing the appropriateness of the ECL calculation include 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
imprecisions or uncertainties included in the model that require an overlay. Lastly, the Group presents its sensitivity
analysis regarding forward-looking information as a key assumption.
Forward-looking information
The tables below contain the macroeconomic variables (MEVs) included in the application of forward-looking
information feeding the IFRS 9 model as of June 30, 2026, and as of December 31, 2025. At each reporting date, the
consensus data include the latest macroeconomic developments.

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 overlays are required. Moreover, regular reviews for evolving or
emerging risks are performed, especially in the current macroeconomic and geopolitical environment. Measures applied
include client surveys and interviews, along with analysis of portfolios across businesses, regions and sectors. In addition,
the Group regularly reviews and validates key model inputs and assumptions (including those in feeder models) and
ensures where expert judgments are applied that these are in line with the Group’s risk management framework.
To ensure that Deutsche Bank’s ECL model accounted for the uncertainties in the macroeconomic environment
throughout the first half of 2026, 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. As a result of these
reviews the broader macroeconomic overlay for the uncertainties and second order impacts related to the Middle East
conflict recognized as of March 31, 2026 has been partially retained given the overall development of MEVs.
As of June 30, 2026, management overlays amounted to € 158 million, compared to € 156 million at the end of 2025
(which resulted in an increase of Allowance for credit losses in both periods). Overlays as of June 30, 2026 included the
aforementioned overlay for uncertainties and second order impacts related to the Middle East conflict, an overlay for
observations from the bank’s portfolio reviews and credit risk assessments as well as expected impacts from model and
process refinements.

Deutsche Bank
Risk information
Interim Report as of June 30, 2026
Overall assessment of ECLs
Results from the above reviews and development of key portfolio indicators are regularly discussed at the Credit Risk
Appetite and Management Forum, the Risk and Finance Credit Loss Provisioning 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 increases in credit 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.
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. The bank also provides
sensitivity analysis on the potential impact 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 sensitivity of LGD settings on portfolios in Stage 3
have not materially changed versus amounts disclosed in the Annual Report 2025.
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 from downward and upward shifts applied separately to each group of MEVs as of
June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025. The magnitude of the shifts is selected in the range of one standard deviation,
which is a statistical 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 U.S., Eurozone, Germany, Italy, Developing Asia, Emerging Markets
Unemployment rates: includes U.S., Eurozone, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain
Equities: S&P500, Eurostoxx50, DAX40, Nikkei, MSCI Asia, MSCI EAFE
Credit spreads: ITX Europe 125, High Yield Index, CDX IG, CDX High Yield, CDX Emerging Markets
Real Estate: CRE Index USA, CRE Index Eurozone, House Price Index USA, House Price Index Germany, House Price
Index Italy (until 2024 only), House Price Index Spain
Commodities: WTI oil price, Gold price
Although interest rates and inflation are not included in the above set of MEVs as separate risk drivers, their overall
economic impact is reflected by other macroeconomic variables, such as GDP growth rates, unemployment, equities and
credit spreads, since higher rates and inflation typically filter through these forecasts and are thus reflected in the ECL
model and below sensitivity analysis in an implicit way.
In addition, the sensitivity analysis only includes the impact of the aggregated MEV group (i.e., potential correlations
between different MEV groups or the impact of management overlays is not taken into consideration). Interdependencies
and timing of MEV changes following the Middle East conflict can have further impacts on ECL. ECL quantification for
Stage 3 is not included where a model-based process is not followed.
As of June 30, 2026, the sensitivity impact, which does not consider overlays, is lower, compared to December 31, 2025,
mainly due to portfolio changes, lower ECL as well as improvements of base MEV projections which the analyses were
based on.

IFRS 9 Expected Credit Losses
Provision for credit losses was € 460 million in the second quarter of 2026, or 38 basis points of average loans, down by
11% from € 519 million in the first quarter of 2026 and up from € 423 million in the prior year quarter. Provision for credit
losses included an impact of approximately € 120 million from the planned exit of certain non-performing exposures as
part of capital-accretive de-risking actions, partially offset by overlay releases.
Provision for non-performing (Stage 3) loans was € 562 million, up from € 300 million in the prior year quarter, primarily
reflecting additional provisions following the aforementioned targeted asset sales in the Investment Bank, the majority of
which are related to Commercial Real Estate, as well as Private Bank which benefited from a release on model updates in
the prior year period. Provision for performing loans (Stage 1 and 2) was € (102) million compared to € 123 million in the
prior year quarter, primarily due to releases of overlays.
Provisions for credit losses for the first six months of 2026 was € 979 million, up from € 894 million reported in the prior
year period mainly in the Investment Bank relating to Commercial Real Estate and Private Bank.

Notes to consolidated financial statements
Interim Report as of June 30, 2026
Basis of preparation/impact of changes in accounting
principles
The interim consolidated 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, 2026,
is 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). The interim consolidated
financial statements are prepared in accordance with the requirements of IAS 34 relating to interim financial reporting.
The Group’s interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited and include the consolidated balance sheet as of
June 30, 2026, the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the six-month period
ended June 30, 2026, as well as other information.
The Group’s interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated
financial statements of Deutsche Bank for the year ended December 31, 2025, 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”.
For purposes of the Group’s primary financial reporting outside the United States, the Group prepares its consolidated
financial statements in accordance with IFRS as endorsed by the EU. For purposes of the Group’s consolidated financial
statements prepared in accordance with IFRS as endorsed by the EU, 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 EU carve out version of IAS 39 also removes the prohibition on identifying a benchmark risk
component in a financial instrument priced at sub–benchmark. This may arise when financial instruments carry a
negative spread such that the identified non–contractually specified risk component is larger than the interest carry on
the contract itself.
The application of the EU carve out version of IAS 39 had a negative impact of 688 million on profit before tax and of
€ 496 million on profit after tax for the three-month period ended June 30, 2026, compared to a negative impact of
€ 535 million on profit before tax and of 383 million on profit after tax for the three-month period ended June 30, 2025.
The application of the EU carve out version of IAS 39 had a positive impact of € 166 million on profit before tax and of
€ 119 million on profit after tax for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, compared to a negative impact of
€ 144 million on profit before tax and of € 103 million on profit post taxes for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025.
The Group’s regulatory capital and ratios thereof are also reported on the basis of the EU carve out version of IAS 39. As
of June 30, 2026, the application of the EU carve out had a cumulative negative impact on the CET1 capital ratio of
about 53 basis points compared to a cumulative negative impact of about 75 basis points as of June 30, 2025.
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 revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from management’s estimates, especially in relation to
potential impacts from tariffs or inflation and broader changes in the political and geopolitical environment (e.g., war in
Ukraine or Middle East conflict), and the results reported should not be regarded as necessarily indicative of results that
may be expected for the entire year.

Interim Report as of June 30, 2026
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 2026.
IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” and IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures”
In May 2024, the IASB issued “Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments
(Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7)” to address matters identified during the post-implementation review of the
classification and measurement requirements of IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”. The amendments are effective for
annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026.
On classification and measurement, there were amendments to the solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) test.
The amendments provide more guidance on the scope of contractually linked financial assets and the SPPI assessment
for debt instrument assets with contingent cash flow features, for example loans with Environmental, Social and
Governance (ESG) linked coupons. The amendments resulted in an adjustment to equity as of January 1, 2026, and did
not have a material impact on the Group’s interim consolidated financial statements. The amendments also include
additional disclosure requirements on financial instruments with contingent cash flow features which will initially be
required in the Group’s 2026 annual financial statements.
On financial liability derecognition via electronic payment systems, the amendments clarify that a financial liability is
derecognized on the settlement date (which is when the related obligation is discharged or cancelled or expires, or the
liability otherwise qualifies for derecognition) and provides for an election for a financial liability (or part of it) to be
derecognized before the settlement date if specified criteria are met. The initial application of the amendment has had
no impact on the Group’s interim consolidated financial statements, and the election to derecognize the financial liability
before the settlement date has not been applied as of the reporting date.
Annual Improvements to IFRS
In July 2024, the IASB issued amendments to multiple IFRS standards, which resulted from the IASB’s annual
improvements project. These comprise changes in terminology as well as editorial amendments related to IFRS 1 “First-
time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards”, IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures” and its
accompanying Guidance on implementing IFRS 7, IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”, IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial
Statements” and IAS 7 “Statement of Cash-Flows”. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or
after January 1, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The amendments did not have a material impact on the Group’s
interim consolidated financial statements.
Contracts Referencing Nature-Dependent Electricity - Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7
In December 2024, the IASB issued “Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity (Amendments to IFRS 9 and
IFRS 7)” to address matters identified for contracts referencing to nature-dependent electricity. The own-use
requirements in IFRS 9 are to be amended to include the factors an entity is required to consider for which the source of
production of the electricity is nature-dependent. The hedge accounting requirements in IFRS 9 are to be amended to
permit an entity using a contract for nature-dependent renewable electricity with a variable volume of forecast
electricity transactions as the hedged item as well as for measuring hedge effectiveness. The IASB further amends IFRS 7
and IFRS 19 to introduce disclosure requirements about contracts for nature-dependent electricity with specified
characteristics.
The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026, with early adoption permitted.
The amendments did not have a material impact on the Group’s interim consolidated financial statements.

Interim Report as of June 30, 2026
New accounting pronouncements
The following accounting pronouncements were not effective as of June 30, 2026, and therefore have not been applied
in the first six months of 2026.
IFRS 18 “Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements”
In April 2024, the IASB issued the new standard IFRS 18 “Presentation and Disclosures in Financial Statements” that
replaces IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”. IFRS 18 contains new guidance on how to structure the Income
Statement as well as new disclosure requirements for Management-defined Performance Measures (MPMs). The new
standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Group
does not expect a material impact of IFRS 18 on the presentation of its consolidated financial statements.
IFRS 19 “Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures”
In May 2024, the IASB issued the new standard IFRS 19 “Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures”. The
new standard permits a subsidiary to provide reduced disclosures when applying IFRS Accounting Standards in its
financial statements. In August 2025, the IASB issued amendments to the not yet effective standard which cover new or
amended IFRS Accounting Standards issued between February 28, 2021 and May 1, 2024, that were not considered
when IFRS 19 was first issued.
The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted.
The Group does not expect a material impact of IFRS 19 on the disclosure requirements of its subsidiaries. The new
standard has yet to be endorsed by the EU.
IAS 21 “The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates: Translation to a Hyperinflationary
Presentation Currency”
In November 2025, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 21 “The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates” to clarify
the accounting applied by a parent, whose functional currency is the currency of a hyperinflationary economy, when it
consolidates a subsidiary, whose functional currency is the currency of a non-hyperinflationary economy. The IASB
decided that when an entity translates amounts from a functional currency that is the currency of a non-
hyperinflationary economy to a presentation currency that is the currency of a hyperinflationary economy, the entity
translates those amounts, including comparative amounts, using the closing rate at the date of the most recent
statement of financial position. An entity shall also disclose that it has applied this translation method in its financial
statements, or in the results and financial position of its foreign operations.
The amendments will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with early adoption
permitted. The amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the Group’s consolidated financial
statements. The new standard has yet to be endorsed by the EU.
IAS 28 "Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures"
In June 2026, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 28 "Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures". The amendments
clarify the meaning of "similar entities" that are eligible to elect the fair value option for their investment in associates or
joint ventures. A similar entity includes an entity with a main business activity of investing in particular types of assets, as
assessed under IFRS 18. The election can be made separately for each associate or joint venture upon initial recognition.
The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027 when an entity first applies IFRS 18,
with early adoption permitted. The Group does not expect the amendments to have a material impact on its consolidated
financial statements. The new standard has yet to be endorsed by the EU
IFRS 20 "Regulatory Assets and Regulatory Liabilities"
In May 2026, the IASB issued the new standard IFRS 20 "Regulatory Assets and Regulatory Liabilities". The new standard
requires an entity that is subject to a regulatory agreement to provide information about its regulatory assets, regulatory
liabilities, regulatory income and regulatory expense.
The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2029, with early adoption permitted.
The Group does not expect an impact on its consolidated financial statements. The new standard has yet to be endorsed
by the EU.

Interim Report as of June 30, 2026
Capital expenditures and divestitures
During the first six months of 2026, the Group did not make any significant capital expenditures but announced the
following significant divestiture.
In June 2026, Deutsche Bank announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement with Kotak Mahindra Bank Ltd.
for the sale of the Private Bank’s India franchise. The transaction is intended to support Deutsche Bank’s strategy of
Scaling the Global Hausbank by further focusing its business portfolio on areas where the bank has scale and competitive
strengths and is expected to be SVA-positive upon closing. The divestiture is also consistent with the Private Bank’s
continued focus on serving global ultra-high-net-worth clients, including non-resident Indians, outside India. Closing of
the transaction is expected during the third quarter of 2027, subject to applicable regulatory approvals and other
customary closing conditions.

3Assets under Management include assets held on behalf of customers for investment purposes and/or client assets that are advised or managed by Deutsche Bank. They
are managed on a discretionary or advisory basis or are deposited with the bank. Deposits are considered Assets under Management if they serve investment purposes. In
Personal Banking, this includes Term deposits and Savings deposits. In Wealth Management (excl. Business Banking), it is assumed that all customer deposits are held
with the bank primarily for investment purposes and accordingly are classified as Assets under Management. In instances in which the Private Bank distributes investment
products qualifying as Assets under Management which are managed by DWS, these assets are reported as Assets under Management for Private Bank and for Asset
Management (DWS) because they are two distinct, independent qualifying services

2Assets under Management (AuM) means assets (a) the segment manages on a discretionary or non-discretionary advisory basis; including where it is the management
company and portfolio management is outsourced to a third party; and (b) a third party holds or manages and on which the segment provides, on the basis of contract,
advice of an ongoing nature including regular or periodic assessment, monitoring and/or review. AuM represents both collective investments (including mutual funds and
exchange-traded funds) and separate client mandates. AuM are measured at current market value based on the local regulatory rules for asset managers at each
reporting date, which might differ from the fair value rules applicable under IFRS. Measurable levels are available daily for most retail products but may only update
monthly, quarterly or even yearly for some products. While AuM do not include the segment’s investments accounted for under equity method, they do include seed
capital and any committed capital on which the segment earns management fees. In instances in which Private Bank distributes investment products qualifying as Assets
under Management which are managed by DWS, these assets are reported as Assets under Management for Private Bank and for Asset Management (DWS) because they
are two distinct, independent qualifying services

1Starting from the fourth quarter of 2025, the additional sub-category “Fixed Income & Currencies: Ex Financing“ within Fixed Income & Currencies (FIC) was renamed to
“Fixed Income & Currencies: Markets“
2 Starting from the fourth quarter of 2025, Deutsche Bank renamed “Origination & Advisory” within the Investment Bank to “Investment Banking & Capital Markets”
3Historically, certain bank funding charges that were allocated to the Investment Bank but not directly attributable to specific balance sheet positions were reported
within “Research and Other”. Beginning the third quarter of 2025 these charges have been allocated to underlying businesses based on an agreed allocation key in order
to support ongoing refinement of business level reporting. Prior year’s comparatives are aligned to presentation in the current year

Information on the consolidated income statement
Interim Report as of June 30, 2026
As of June 30, 2026, the aggregate transaction price allocated to partially or fully unsatisfied performance obligations
amounted to 289 million and is expected to be recognized over a four-year period from 2027 to 2030 (December 31, 2025:
173 million over a four-year period from 2026 to 2029). The balance predominantly relates to alternative closed-end funds
with cumulative distribution-based performance fees, the amount of which is generally determined towards the end of the
respective multi-year performance period. The increase compared with December 31, 2025 primarily reflects the
appreciation of the underlying fund assets.
As of June 30, 2026, and June 30, 2025, the Group’s receivables from commission and fee income were 1.1 billion and
€ 960 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2026, and June 30, 2025, the Group’s contract liabilities associated with
commission and fee income were 69 million and 87 million, respectively. Contract liabilities arise from the Group’s
obligation to provide future services to a customer for which it 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 predominantly relate to recurring service contracts with service periods of less than
one year, such as monthly current account services and quarterly asset management services. As a result, prior period
balances of contract liabilities are generally recognized in revenue in the subsequent period. There are some contracts
where customer payment in exchange for services provided by the Group over the service period is not required until the
end of the contract period. If the Group is virtually certain to receive payment at the end of the contract period, a contract
asset and the respective commission and fee income is recognized when services are performed. As of June 30, 2026 and
2025, the Group has recognized no material contract assets.

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 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 modelling 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 collateralized debt obligations (CDO). ABS have specific characteristics as they have 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 making
largest possible use of available observable inputs. The industry standard 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, 2026
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., 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. Financial liabilities included in this classification are structured note issuances, structured
deposits, and other structured securities issued by consolidated vehicles. 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 traded as at the measurement date as this reflects the value from the
perspective of a market participant who holds the identical item as an asset).
Where the financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss under the fair value option 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 liabilitiesAssets which are linked to the investment contract liabilities are owned by the Group
and obliges the Group to use these assets to settle the linked 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.
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 significant inputs to that technique are observable.
These include: many OTC derivatives, many investment-grade listed credit bonds, some CDS.
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 input to that technique
which is unobservable and can have 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 CRE loans, illiquid loans, and some
municipal bonds.

2Relates to derivatives, which are embedded in contracts where the host contract is held at amortized cost but for which the embedded derivative is bifurcated and
reported separately. The separated embedded derivatives may have a positive or a negative fair value and classification presented in this table is consistent with the
classification of the host contract
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, transfers in trading securities and non-trading financial assets from Level 1
to Level 2 amounted to 6.0 billion of assets and 1.5 billion of liabilities; transfers from Level 2 to Level 1 amounted to
5.7 billion of assets and 2.2 billion of liabilities. 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 financial assets and financial liabilities in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy have identical or similar
offsetting exposures to the unobservable input. However, according to IFRS they are required to be presented gross.
Trading securitiesCertain 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 here. The increase
in the period is driven by purchases, gains and net 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.
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.

Interim Report as of June 30, 2026
The increase in assets during the period are driven by settlements, gains partially offset by net transfers between Level 2
and Level 3 due to changes in the observability of input parameters used to value these instruments. The decrease in
liabilities 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 gains partially offset by settlements.
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. The increase in assets during the period is
driven by issuances, purchases, net 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 sales and settlements.
Non-trading financial assets mandatory at fair value through profit or loss classified in Level 3 of fair value hierarchy
include any non-trading financial asset that does not fall into the Hold to Collect nor Hold to collect and Sell business
models. This includes predominantly reverse repurchase agreements which are managed on a fair value basis.
Additionally, any financial asset that falls into the Hold to collect or Hold to collect and Sell business models for which
the contractual cash flow characteristics are not SPPI. The decrease in the period is driven by settlements, sales and net
transfers between Level 2 and Level 3 due to changes in the observability of input parameters used to value these
instruments partially offset by purchases, gains and issuances.
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 were 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. There are no assets designated at fair value during the period. The decrease in liabilities during the period is
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 settlements partially offset by issuances 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 issuances, purchases and gains
partially offset by settlements, sales and net transfers between Level 2 and Level 3 due to changes in the observability of
input parameters used to value these instruments.

Interim Report as of June 30, 2026
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.
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, 2026 it could have increased fair value by as much as 2.2 billion or
decreased fair value by as much as 1.3 billion. As of December 31, 2025 it could have increased fair value by as much as
2.1 billion or decreased fair value by as much as 1.3 billion.
The changes in sensitive amounts from December 31, 2025, to June 30, 2026, were an increase in positive fair value
movement of 77 million, and an increase in negative fair value movement of 51 million.
The change in positive fair value movements from December 31, 2025, to June 30, 2026, represents a 4% increase and
the change in negative fair value movements represents a 4% increase. The Group’s sensitivity calculation of
unobservable parameters for Level 3 continues to align 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 the requirements of
Article 105 (14) to all assets measured at fair value and to deduct any additional value adjustments from CET1 capital.
This utilizes an exit price analysis performed for the relevant assets and liabilities in the prudent valuation assessment.
This disclosure is intended to illustrate the potential impact of the relative uncertainty in the fair value of financial
instruments for which valuation is 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.
Hence, the estimates disclosed above are likely to be greater than the true uncertainty in fair value at the balance sheet
date. Furthermore, the disclosure is neither predictive nor indicative of future movements in fair value.
For many of the financial instruments considered here, 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.

Interim Report as of June 30, 2026
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 risk free rate, 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 constant default rate will lead to 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.
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 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 consolidated income statement.

Interim Report as of June 30, 2026
Fair Value of Financial Instruments not carried at Fair Value
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’s balance sheet or income statement. Additionally,
since the instruments generally do not trade, there is significant management judgment required to determine these fair
values. Differences between the carrying value and the fair value as of June 30, 2026, are consistent with the changes in
the interest rate environment in the reporting period.
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
For all other financial instruments carried at amortized cost, the following valuation techniques are applied:
On 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 borrowers of similar credit quality, which includes the impact of the macroeconomic environment.
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 also considered to be at fair value.
The fair value of the corporate lending portfolio is estimated predominantly by discounting the loan until its maturity,
based on the loan specific credit spreads and funding costs for the Group.
For long-term debt and trust preferred securities, the fair value is determined from quoted market prices where
available. Otherwise, the fair value is estimated by 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.
A discounted cash flow model is generally used for determining the fair value of long-term deposits since market data
is usually not available. In addition to the yield curve, Deutsche Bank’s own credit spreads are also considered. Credit
spreads of the respective counterparties are not used in the measurement of fair values on financial liabilities at
amortized cost.
For these financial instruments carried at amortized cost, the disclosed fair value is categorized under the IFRS fair value
hierarchy (i.e., Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3) as outlined in Note “Financial Instruments carried at fair value”. In general,
Level 1 includes cash and central bank balances; Level 2 includes interbank balances (w/o central banks), central bank
funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements, securities borrowed, other financial assets, deposits,
central bank funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements, securities loaned, other short-term
borrowings, other financial liabilities, long-term debt and trust preferred securities; Level 3 includes loans.

As of June 30, 2026, the difference between the fair value and the carrying value of loans is primarily driven by 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 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.

Interim Report as of June 30, 2026
Key risk themes
In the following section, Deutsche Bank provides details on key risk themes currently in focus and thus of high relevance
for the Group. This section should be read in conjunction with the information presented in the ”Key Risk Themes“ and
“Focus Areas in 2025” sections of the Annual Report 2025.
Credit Risk
The latest developments and key uncertainties in the first half of 2026 have been considered as part of the bank’s
ongoing credit risk management activities and governance framework. These activities include, but are not limited to,
regular emerging risk reviews (amongst others from macroeconomic development and geopolitical conflict) as well as
portfolio deep dives, single name risk assessments, and regular model validations.
Portfolios and themes which have been identified for enhanced monitoring and downside risk assessment by the Group in
the first half of 2026 included CRE, the Middle East conflict, Private Credit, Technology and Climate Risk. Whilst risks in
the CRE portfolio remain elevated, higher risk U.S. CRE exposures have been reduced by approximately 41% since 2022
with further de-risking actions initiated in the second quarter 2026. The risk profile of the Private Credit, Technology and
Climate Risk portfolios have not changed materially since December 31, 2025. The Middle East remains dynamic, driven
by ongoing conflict in the region and the effect on oil prices and second-order impacts, resulting in a partial retention in
the second quarter of 2026 of the macro-economic management overlay recognized as of March 31, 2026. CRE and
Middle East are further discussed below.
Commercial Real Estate
While CRE markets remain affected by higher interest rates and reduced demand for office properties, broader market
indices point towards a stabilization of CRE prices. Green Street Commercial Property Price Index (CPPI), increased by
approximately 1.5% . between the fourth quarter of 2025 and the second quarter of 2026.
The Provision for credit losses this quarter reflects specific cases, mainly in U.S. West Coast Commercial Real Estate as
well as the planned exit of certain non-performing exposures. The main risks within the portfolio relate to refinancing and
extension of maturing loans, which are adversely affected by higher interest rates, lower collateral values and valuation
declines on legacy defaulted exposures. CRE loans often have a significant portion of principal payable at maturity.
Under current market conditions, borrowers may have difficulty obtaining a new loan to repay the maturing debt or to
meet conditions that allow an extension of the loan. Deutsche Bank is closely monitoring the CRE portfolio for
development of such risks.
The Group continues to proactively work with borrowers to address upcoming maturities to establish terms for loan
amendments and extensions, which in many cases are classified as forbearance triggering Stage 2 classification under
IFRS 9. However, in certain cases, the borrower may be subject to idiosyncratic factors, or be unable to restructure or
refinance, and therefore is classified as defaulted. Allowance for credit losses as of June 30, 2026 amounted to
€ 1.3 billion for the non-recourse portfolio and € 1.1 billion for the stress-tested CRE portfolio (December 31, 2025:
€ 1.1 billion and € 903 million respectively).
The following table presents the non-recourse CRE portfolio subject to bespoke stress-test by IFRS 9 stages, region,
property type and average weighted loan to value (LTV) as well as allowance and provision for credit losses recorded as
of June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively.

1Loans at amortized cost
2Germany accounts for ca 10% of the total stress-tested CRE portfolio as of June 30, 2026 and 9% as of December 31, 2025, respectively.
3Office loans in Germany accounted for 15% of total office loans in the stress-tested CRE portfolio as of June 30, 2026, and 14% as of December 31, 2025, respectively.
4Allowance for Credit Losses and Provision for Credit Losses do not include country risk allowances/provisions.
The decrease in the stress-tested CRE portfolio since December 31, 2025, was 922 million mainly driven by loan
repayments. The weighted average LTV in the U.S. office loan segment was 92%as of June 30, 2026, versus 88% as of
December 31, 2025. However when considering allowance for credit losses, the weighted average net LTV in the same
U.S. Office loan segment was 75% as of June 30, 2026 versus 76% as of December 31, 2025. LTV calculations are based
on latest externally appraised values which are additionally subject to regular interim internal adjustments.
Based on the stress test assumptions and utilizing the stress-tested CRE portfolio of 23.4 billion as of June 30, 2026, a
stressed scenario could result in approximately 1.3 billion of credit losses, over multiple years based on the respective
maturity profile. The allowance recorded against the stress tested portfolio was € 1.1 billion as of June 30, 2026.

Interim Report as of June 30, 2026
The bespoke stress test has numerous limitations, including but not restricted to a lack of differentiation based on
individual asset performance, specific location or asset desirability, all of which could have a material impact on potential
stress losses. Furthermore, calculated stress losses are sensitive to potential further deterioration of peak-to-trough
index values and assumptions about incremental haircuts and incremental stress loss can therefore change in the future.
Changes in the underlying assumptions could lead to a wider range of stress results and hence the Group's bespoke
stress approach should be viewed as one of multiple possible scenarios. While the stress test aims to assess potential
losses in an adverse scenario, Deutsche Bank believes that based on currently available information, the ECL estimate
related to the Group’s CRE portfolio is within a reasonable range and thus represents the bank’s best estimate,
considering the advanced stage of the current down cycle which is pointing towards stabilization as real estate values
have adjusted to the shocks from higher interest rates and remote working trends.
Middle East conflict
The Middle East remains dynamic, with elevated oil prices for much of the quarter due to the conflict and closure of the
Strait of Hormuz, with the signing of a framework peace agreement in mid June led to oil prices falling back to pre-
conflict levels, however the conflict has re-escalated in recent weeks and the outlook remains uncertain.
Deutsche Bank’s direct exposure in the region is limited with exposures mainly to investment grade rated countries and
no exposure to Iran and Lebanon, while second order risks are in focus, with potential vulnerabilities in sectors such as
Manufacturing & Engineering, Transportation, Automotive and Steel, Metal & Mining where deep dives and scenario
analysis including stress testing have been conducted on an ongoing basis.
IFRS 9 Impairment
Model overview
During the first half of 2026, Deutsche Bank continued to apply the same IFRS 9 impairment models and methodologies,
key assumptions and risk management activities as disclosed in the Annual Report 2025, except a change to the
methodology on how the refinancing risk overlay has been quantified. This change represents a change in estimate and
contributed to the overlay releases described in the IFRS 9 Expected Credit Losses section below. As outlined in the
Annual Report 2025, 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 the bank’s ECL.
The latest developments and key uncertainties in the first half of 2026 and their consideration in the ECL calculation,
based on the bank’s ongoing credit risk management activities and governance framework, are described in the section
‘Key risk themes’ in this report. Activities targeted at assessing the appropriateness of the ECL calculation include 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
imprecisions or uncertainties included in the model that require an overlay. Lastly, the Group presents its sensitivity
analysis regarding forward-looking information as a key assumption.

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 overlays are required. Moreover, regular reviews for evolving or
emerging risks are performed, especially in the current macroeconomic and geopolitical environment. Measures applied
include client surveys and interviews, along with analysis of portfolios across businesses, regions and sectors. In addition,
the Group regularly reviews and validates key model inputs and assumptions (including those in feeder models) and
ensures where expert judgments are applied that these are in line with the Group’s risk management framework.
To ensure that Deutsche Bank’s ECL model accounted for the uncertainties in the macroeconomic environment
throughout the first half of 2026, 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. As a result of these
reviews the broader macroeconomic overlay for the uncertainties and second order impacts related to the Middle East
conflict recognized as of March 31, 2026 has been partially retained given the overall development of MEVs.
As of June 30, 2026, management overlays amounted to 158 million, compared to 156 million at the end of 2025
(which resulted in an increase of Allowance for credit losses in both periods). Overlays as of June 30, 2026 included the
aforementioned overlay for uncertainties and second order impacts related to the Middle East conflict, an overlay for
observations from the bank’s portfolio reviews and credit risk assessments as well as expected impacts from model and
process refinements.

Deutsche Bank
Information on the consolidated balance sheet
Interim Report as of June 30, 2026
Overall assessment of ECLs
Results from the above reviews and development of key portfolio indicators are regularly discussed at the Credit Risk
Appetite and Management Forum, the Risk and Finance Credit Loss Provisioning 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 increases in credit 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.
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. The bank also provides
sensitivity analysis on the potential impact 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 sensitivity of LGD settings on portfolios in Stage 3
have not materially changed versus amounts disclosed in the Annual Report 2025.
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 from downward and upward shifts applied separately to each group of MEVs as of
June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025. The magnitude of the shifts is selected in the range of one standard deviation,
which is a statistical 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 U.S., Eurozone, Germany, Italy, Developing Asia, Emerging Markets
Unemployment rates: includes U.S., Eurozone, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain
Equities: S&P500, Eurostoxx50, DAX40, Nikkei, MSCI Asia, MSCI EAFE
Credit spreads: ITX Europe 125, High Yield Index, CDX IG, CDX High Yield, CDX Emerging Markets
Real Estate: CRE Index USA, CRE Index Eurozone, House Price Index USA, House Price Index Germany, House Price
Index Italy (until 2024 only), House Price Index Spain
Commodities: WTI oil price, Gold price
Although interest rates and inflation are not included in the above set of MEVs as separate risk drivers, their overall
economic impact is reflected by other macroeconomic variables, such as GDP growth rates, unemployment, equities and
credit spreads, since higher rates and inflation typically filter through these forecasts and are thus reflected in the ECL
model and below sensitivity analysis in an implicit way.
In addition, the sensitivity analysis only includes the impact of the aggregated MEV group (i.e., potential correlations
between different MEV groups or the impact of management overlays is not taken into consideration). Interdependencies
and timing of MEV changes following the Middle East conflict can have further impacts on ECL. ECL quantification for
Stage 3 is not included where a model-based process is not followed.
As of June 30, 2026, the sensitivity impact, which does not consider overlays, is lower, compared to December 31, 2025,
mainly due to portfolio changes, lower ECL as well as improvements of base MEV projections which the analyses were
based on.

IFRS 9 Expected Credit Losses
Provision for credit losses was 460 million in the second quarter of 2026, or 38 basis points of average loans, down by
11% from 519 million in the first quarter of 2026 and up from 423 million in the prior year quarter. Provision for credit
losses included an impact of approximately 120 million from the planned exit of certain non-performing exposures as
part of capital-accretive de-risking actions, partially offset by overlay releases.
Provision for non-performing (Stage 3) loans was 562 million, up from 300 million in the prior year quarter, primarily
reflecting additional provisions following the aforementioned targeted asset sales in the Investment Bank, the majority of
which are related to Commercial Real Estate, as well as Private Bank which benefited from a release on model updates in
the prior year period. Provision for performing loans (Stage 1 and 2) was € (102) million compared to € 123 million in the
prior year quarter, primarily due to releases of overlays.
Provisions for credit losses for the first six months of 2026 was 979 million, up from 894 million reported in the prior
year period mainly in the Investment Bank relating to Commercial Real Estate and Private Bank.

Goodwill and other intangible assets
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, 2026, 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 a result of
the analysis, neither the goodwill nor the retail investment management agreement intangible asset was impaired.
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 section 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, 2026.
Non-current assets and disposal groups held for sale at the reporting date
Total assets held for sale amounted to 2.7 billion as of June 30, 2026 (December 31, 2025: 35 million) and the
disposal groups included liabilities of 1.6 billion as of June 30, 2026 (December 31, 2025: million). As of June
30, 2026 for the three and six months ended, there were no unrealized net gains or losses (December 31, 2025:
€ — million) relating to non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale recognized directly in
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
Sale of the Private Bank India franchise
In June 2026, Deutsche Bank AG approved and signed an agreement to sell its retail banking, affluent private banking
and wealth management franchise in India to Kotak Mahindra Bank Limited. The transaction comprises the Private
Banking and Wealth Management activities of the Deutsche Bank India branch and related operations which, as of June
30, 2026, are classified as a disposal group held for sale. The disposal group is part of the Group’s Private Bank segment.
The Group expects the sale to result in an overall pre-tax negative impact of around 100 million for 2026. This primarily
includes a charge related to a provision in connection with the sale of 70 million and transaction-related costs
recognized in the second quarter of 2026.
The disposal group is comprised of 2.7 billion in loans and of 1.6 billion in deposits.
The sale is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals and other customary conditions
precedent. The Group currently expects the transaction to close during the third quarter of 2027.

Interim Report as of June 30, 2026
Provisions
As of June 30, 2026, the Group recognized € 2.2 billion (December 31, 2025: 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, 2026 are
described below for civil litigation and regulatory matters only. Details related to off balance sheet positions are included in
the Allowance for credit losses disclosure in this Interim Report. Details on the Group’s provisions as of December 31, 2025,
are disclosed in Deutsche Bank’s Annual Report 2025 in Note 10 “Restructuring”, Note 19 “Allowance for credit losses”, and
Note 27 “Provisions”.
Civil litigation and regulatory enforcement matters
As of June 30, 2026, the Group recognized provisions relating to civil litigation of € 1.0 billion (December 31, 2025:
€ 1.2 billion) and provisions relating to regulatory enforcement matters of € 0.2 billion (December 31, 2025: 0.2 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 € 67 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2026 (€ (94) million for the three months ended June 30, 2025), € 156 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2026 (€ (68) million for the six months ended June 30, 2025). The increases over prior-year’s
three-month and six-month period are mainly attributable to the partial release of the Postbank takeover litigation
provision during the second quarter of 2025.
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, 2026, these contingent
liabilities are € 932 million for civil litigation matters (December 31, 2025: 921 million) and € 2 million for regulatory
enforcement matters (December 31, 2025: 6 million). 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 2025 in the section captioned “Current
Individual Proceedings”. The disclosed matters in Note 27 “Provisions” include matters for which the possibility of a loss
is more than remote, but for which the Group cannot reliably estimate the possible loss.
Other
Irrevocable Payment Commitments (IPCs) related to bank levy according to the Single Resolution Fund (SRF) and the
deposit protection provided by the German deposit protection fund amounted to € 1.5 billion as of June 30, 2026
(December 31, 2025: € 1.5 billion). Thereof, € 1.0 billion related to IPCs to the SRF (December 31, 2025: € 1.0 billion) and
€ 0.5 billion to the German deposit protection fund (December 31, 2025: 0.5 billion).

Credit related commitments and contingent liabilities
Irrevocable 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 credit risk management provides sufficient
evidence about an expected loss from a 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 recognized in the balance sheet. The amounts
are the maximum potential utilization required by the Group in case all these liabilities entered into must be funded. The
table therefore does not show the expected future cash flows required for 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.

Non-GAAP financial measures
Interim Report as of June 30, 2026
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 post-tax return on average tangible shareholders’ equity, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, and
reconciles it to post-tax return on average shareholders’ equity.
Post-tax return on average shareholders’ equity and post-tax return on average tangible shareholders' equity are
calculated as profit (loss) attributable to Deutsche Bank shareholders after deducting profit (loss) attributable to
noncontrolling interests and after profit (loss) attributable to additional equity components (AT1 coupon) as a
percentage of average shareholders’ equity and average tangible shareholders' equity. For the Group, it reflects the
reported effective tax rate which was 29% for the second quarter of 2026 and 28% for the prior year’s comparative
period. The tax rate was 29% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, and 29% for the prior year’s comparative period.
For the segments, the applied tax rate was 28% for the second quarter of 2026 and all quarters in 2025.
The Group’s 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. The ratios are
then calculated as a percentage of profit (loss) attributable to shareholders by the average shareholders’ equity and
average tangible shareholders' equity, respectively.
The Group believes that a presentation of average tangible shareholders’ equity makes comparisons to its competitors
more meaningful and refers to this measure in the return on tangible equity ratios presented by the Group. However,
average tangible shareholders’ equity is not a measure provided for in IFRS and 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:

Non-GAAP financial measures
Interim Report as of June 30, 2026
Net interest income in the key banking book segments
Deutsche Bank applies a prudent approach to modelling and managing interest rate risk in its banking book. The bank’s
objective is to limit the sensitivity of net interest income and to stabilize net interest margins arising from fixed-rate,
non‑maturity balance sheet items. Consistent with industry practice, Deutsche Bank models its deposit portfolios based
on behavioral stability and rate sensitivity. Deposits with no assumed rate sensitivity are considered stable and are
assumed not to reprice materially, even in the event of significant changes in market interest rates. These deposits
therefore represent a source of interest rate risk.
If such rate‑insensitive deposits were invested solely in short‑term instruments, net interest income would become highly
sensitive to short‑term interest rate movements, resulting in considerable volatility. To protect the net interest income of
rate‑insensitive deposits, Deutsche Bank undertakes interest rate hedging by investing these deposits over a
medium‑term horizon, predominantly through structures with a typical 10‑year tractor profile. As a result, the net
interest income of these deposits is primarily sensitive to the reinvestment of the hedge portfolio, representing
approximately 10% of the total portfolio that is exposed to movements in 10‑year rates.
The bank’s deposit net interest income hedge is a rolling mid‑term portfolio that provides protection through the interest
rate cycle. The hedge duration is continuously monitored and adjusted according to Deutsche Bank’s modelling
framework, including assumptions on client behavior as well as local and regulatory requirements. Deutsche Bank uses a
range of strategies and balance sheet measures to implement this approach.
‘Net interest income in the key banking book segments’ is a non‑GAAP financial measure. The most directly comparable
IFRS measure is ‘Net interest income’. Key banking book segments are defined as those business segments in which net
interest income from banking book activities constitutes a material share of overall revenue. Net interest income in these
segments is calculated as the Group’s total net interest income, excluding other funding‑related effects (such as
centrally managed funding costs) and impacts arising from accounting asymmetries between the Group’s trading book
and associated hedging activities. The Group considers this presentation to provide a more meaningful reflection of the
net interest income generated by its operating businesses.
Accounting asymmetry in the recognition of the Group’s trading book and related hedging activities primarily arise when
funding costs related to trading book positions are reported within net interest income, while the corresponding
revenues on the underlying positions are recognized in noninterest income. Conversely, asymmetries can result when
fair‑valued instruments are used to hedge positions in the key banking book segments: the income or expense of the
hedged item is recorded as interest income, while the hedge result is recorded within noninterest income. These effects
mainly occur in the Investment Bank (excluding FIC Financing), Asset Management and Corporate & Other, including
Treasury, other than held in the key banking book segments.
The following table provides a reconciliation of the Group’s net interest income to the net interest income in the key
banking book segments.

1Other funding effects represents banking book net interest income arising primarily from Treasury funding activities that are not allocated to the key banking book
segments but are allocated to other segments or held centrally in Corporate & Other
2Accounting asymmetry in the recognition of the Group’s trading book and related hedging activities primarily arises from funding costs associated with trading book
positions where the funding cost is reported in net interest income but is offset by revenues on the underlying positions recorded in noninterest income. Conversely, it
can also arise from the use of fair valued instruments to hedge key banking book segments positions where the cost or income of the underlying position is recorded as
interest income, but the hedge impact is recorded as a noninterest income. These effects from trading book and related hedge activities primarily occur in the Investment
Bank (ex FIC Financing), Asset Management and Corporate & Other including Treasury; which are not key banking book segments
3Interest earning assets are financial instruments or investments that generate interest income in the form of interest payments. Interest earnings assets are averaged on a
monthly basis and across quarters and for the full year

Interim Report as of June 30, 2026
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, revenues 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) allows for better comparability with 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.
