Key updates communicated during Q3 2026
Provision for credit losses (CLPs):
-As stated by Raja Akram at the Bank of America Financials Conference, the underlying
quality of the loan book remains sound, with Deutsche Bank not seeing any elevated
stress despite the economic environment; Q3 2026 CLPs are expected to be between
Q1 2026 and Q2 2026 levels, given the continued CRE portfolio de-risking and an
idiosyncratic charge related to a single-name exposure in the Corporate Bank in Asia
-As indicated at the Q2 2026 results, the bank will continue to evaluate limited and
targeted portfolio actions where these are capital-accretive and support further de-
risking of the portfolio
Revenues:
-At the Bank of America Financials Conference, Raja Akram provided insights into
revenue dynamics across the Group, including a statement on Q3 2026 revenue
performance in the Investment Bank:
-Private Bank revenues are expected to show continued momentum, supported by
strong deposit inflows, ongoing asset gathering, and continued uptake of
investment products
-Asset Management revenues are expected to benefit from continued strong
inflows, with management expressing confidence in the business segment’s Q3
2026 performance
-Corporate Bank revenues are expected to continue their positive trajectory in H2
2026, with the business segment expected to exit the year with a mid- to high-
single-digit revenue growth rate
-In the Investment Bank, Investment Banking & Capital Markets (IBCM) revenues
are expected to be broadly flat YoY, with strong activity in M&A, ECM, and DCM
offset by LDCM timing effects; Fixed Income & Currencies (FIC) revenues are
expected to be flat or slightly down versus the record Q3 2025, with most
products expected to be up excluding the Credit Trading business given its strong
performance in Q3 2025; overall, Investment Bank revenues are expected to be
flat to slightly down YoY in Q3 2026
-At the Q2 2026 results, management reiterated confidence in FY 2026 Group
revenues reaching around € 33bn; Corporate Bank revenues are expected to
increase sequentially in Q3 and Q4 2026, while IBCM revenues are expected to be
stronger in H2 than in H1 2026; for NII across the key banking book segments and
other funding, the bank expects NII to slightly exceed the previously indicated
level of around € 14bn, with the benefits from recent rate decisions expected to
become more pronounced starting in FY 2027 and increase further in FY 2028 and
beyond, reflecting the benefits from the structural hedging approach

Costs:
-At the Bank of America Financials Conference, Raja Akram reiterated Deutsche Bank’s
FY 2026 expense expectation and described it as an investment year, with
investments expected to continue through the cycle and be offset by operating
efficiencies
-At the Q2 2026 results, Christian Sewing confirmed the unchanged FY 2026
noninterest expense expectation of slightly above € 21bn, or around € 21.3bn,
reflecting continued investments in technology, Wealth Management, and IBCM, while
reiterating that management retains flexibility to adjust the pace of investments if the
environment changes; at the Bank of America Financials Conference, Raja Akram
added that the bank, as planned, is also investing in corporate client coverage in the
Corporate Bank in order to further increase market share in Germany
Profitability:
-At the Q2 2026 results, Raja Akram stated that H1 2026 profitability lays a solid
foundation for strong operating performance in 2026
-Christian Sewing reiterated confidence in delivering a RoTE above 13% in FY 2028
and highlighted potential upside from German reforms, AI-driven productivity gains,
the Savings and Investments Union, and a more growth-supportive regulatory
environment, while emphasizing that it remains too early to update the target; at the
Bank of America Financials Conference, management indicated increased confidence
in the upside potential versus the target for FY 2028
-Raja Akram stated at the conference that once the bank has delivered FY 2026 in line
with plans, it may provide an update on FY 2028 targets
Capital and capital distribution:
-At the Bank of America Financials Conference, Raja Akram reaffirmed Deutsche
Bank’s 13.5–14.0% near-term CET1 operating range, noting that the bank is
comfortable operating within this range and that excess capital distributions would
become a priority once it is sustainably above 14%; at the Q2 2026 results, Raja
Akram stated that this was likely to be beyond 2026 and reiterated that further
actions were lined up to support capital optimization
-Following the completion of Deutsche Bank’s € 1.0bn share buyback program at a
volume-weighted average price of € 28.00 per share, a new € 500m program was
announced and completed on September 28, 2026, at a volume-weighted average
price of € 33.19 per share

Issuance and credit ratings:
-At the Q2 2026 Fixed Income Investor Call, Richard Stewart stated that the 2026
issuance plan is well advanced compared to the FY 2026 target of € 10-15bn, with
the remaining issuances expected primarily in senior instruments; highlights during Q3
2026 included the issuance of USD 2.5bn Senior Preferred instruments on September
14, 2026, and EUR 1.25bn AT1 notes on September 21, 2026, and the inaugural CHF
150m Tier 2 instrument on August 26, 2026; on the same day as the AT1 issuance, the
bank also called a EUR 1.25bn AT1 instrument; YTD issuance of funding instruments
totaled approximately € 13bn
