Frankfurt am Main, April 27, 2010
Deutsche Bank (XETRA: DBKGn.DE / NYSE: DB) today reported results for the first quarter 2010. Net income for the quarter was EUR 1.8 billion, compared to EUR 1.2 billion in the first quarter 2009. Diluted earnings per share for the quarter were EUR 2.66, versus EUR 1.92 in the first quarter 2009. Income before income taxes was EUR 2.8 billion in the quarter, versus EUR 1.8 billion in the first quarter 2009. Pre-tax return on average active equity for the quarter was 30%. 
Dr. Josef Ackermann, Chairman of the Management Board, said: "The economic environment clearly stabilized in the first quarter 2010, but is not without some remaining vulnerability. In this environment, Deutsche Bank has once again demonstrated its earnings power, and has achieved the second best quarterly pre-tax result ever." 
He added: "The key component for achieving the very good result in the first quarter 2010 was our global investment banking franchise. The Corporate and Investment Bank (CIB) generated a pre-tax profit of EUR 2.7 billion, a new record quarterly result. This is all the more remarkable as it was achieved despite the fact that the Bank has significantly reduced its risk positions and cut its proprietary trading activities to a very low level." 
Group Highlights 
Net revenues for the quarter were EUR 9.0 billion, up 24% versus EUR 7.2 billion for the first quarter of 2009. This performance reflects strong revenues in Corporate Banking & Securities, as well as lower mark-downs and impairments. First quarter revenues in 2010 reflected EUR 241 million of net mark-downs predominantly related to monolines. The first quarter of 2009 included EUR 1.0 billion of mark-downs, primarily against monoline insurers, and an impairment charge of EUR 500 million on The Cosmopolitan Resort and Casino property.
In the Corporate and Investment Bank (CIB), net revenues were EUR 6.6 billion versus EUR 4.9 billion in the first quarter 2009.

Deutsche Bank publishes its Annual Report 2009 and Remuneration Report
Frankfurt am Main, March 16, 2010
Deutsche Bank (XETRA: DBKGn.DE / NYSE: DB) published its Annual Report for 2009 today. It consists of two sections: Annual Review and Financial Report. The Annual Review presents the bank's corporate profile and corporate divisions, the development of the share as well as the bank's staff and its corporate social responsibility activities. The Financial Report contains the audited Consolidated Financial Statements of Deutsche Bank for the 2009 financial year, prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). 
Josef Ackermann, Chairman of the Management Board, writes in his letter to the shareholders: "2009 was a year of considerable achievement for Deutsche Bank. Financially, we delivered a significant turnaround after the exceptionally difficult conditions of 2008. We delivered substantial profitability with a significantly lower balance sheet, while risk-weighted assets declined steadily. Strategically, we laid a firm basis for success in the post-crisis era."
In its Financial Report, the bank also presents an extensive outlook, on pages 130-137. On the development of the banking industry, it states: "The banking industry is likely to slowly progress towards a new form of normality in 2010 and 2011, in an environment of fundamentally changed regulation, with new market structures and altered investor preferences." 
Deutsche Bank will continue to be impacted by this. "However, with the flight to quality in the post-crisis competitive environment, there are opportunities for Deutsche Bank to capture market share. Based on certain assumptions about the competitive environment (including no further major market dislocations, a normalization of asset valuations, high single-digit growth in the global fee pool, margins stabilizing at levels which remain higher than the pre-crisis period and modest but positive global GDP growth of at least 2%), Deutsche Bank sees potential income before income taxes in its core businesses for 2011 of € 10 billion."
As stated in the Financial Report (pages 116ff), total compensation for the eight members of the Management Board came to € 38.98 million for 2009. The compensation approved for the Chairman of the Management Board, Josef Ackermann, amounted to € 9.55 million for the 2009 financial year. Of this figure, 70 percent is deferred and will first be disbursed at a later date depending on the future development of Group earnings. For the year 2008 the entire Management Board waived its variable compensation components. 
The number of Deutsche Bank shareholders continued to increase in 2009. According to the Annual Review (page 20), there were 586,295 shareholders at the end of 2009, compared to 581,938 in 2008. At the end of 2009, 46 percent of the shares were held by shareholders from Germany. In 2008, this figure stood at 55 percent.

Frankfurt am Main, October 29, 2009
Deutsche Bank (XETRA: DBKGn.DE / NYSE: DB) today reported results for the third quarter and first nine months of 2009. Net income for the quarter was EUR 1.4 billion, up from EUR 414 million in the third quarter 2008. Expected taxation on pre-tax income was more than offset by specific tax items during the quarter. These items represent EUR 369 million of net tax benefits and mainly relate to tax audit settlements for prior years, which were partly offset by the revaluation of deferred tax positions. Diluted earnings per share were EUR 2.10, up from EUR 0.83 in the prior year period. Income before income taxes was EUR 1.3 billion, up from EUR 93 million in the third quarter 2008. Pre-tax return on average active equity for the quarter was 15%, compared to 1% in the prior year quarter. Per the Group's target definition, which excludes significant gains and charges, pre-tax return on average active equity was 14%. 
For the first nine months of 2009, net income was EUR 3.6 billion, compared with EUR 918 million in the first nine months of 2008. Income before income taxes was EUR 4.4 billion, versus EUR 481 million in the prior year period. Diluted earnings per share were EUR 5.62, versus EUR 1.85 in the first nine months of 2008. Pre-tax return on average active equity was 17%, compared to 2% in the prior year period, while per target definition, pre-tax return on average active equity was 18%, versus negative 3% in the prior year period. 
Dr. Josef Ackermann, Chairman of the Management Board, said: "In this quarter, we again delivered a solid profit, whilst maintaining balance sheet discipline and further bolstering our capital strength; in addition, we took important steps in expanding our platform. All our business segments were profitable in the quarter. Across our sales and trading platform, we maintained and extended the reductions in balance sheet and risk-weighted assets which reflect our strategic decision to reduce levels of trading risk, even at the expense of short-term revenue gains in some business areas."
He added: "Deutsche Bank has proved its resilience in an exceptionally tough environment, and has indeed emerged stronger from the crisis. This creates opportunities for us to bolster our long-term competitive position. Looking ahead, we see challenges and opportunities in the environment. We are well-prepared for both."

Frankfurt am Main, July 28, 2009
Deutsche Bank (XETRA: DBKGn.DE / NYSE: DB) today reported results for the second quarter and first half of 2009. Net income for the quarter was EUR 1.1 billion, up 67% versus EUR 645 million in the second quarter 2008. Diluted earnings per share were EUR 1.64, versus EUR 1.27 in the prior year quarter. Income before income taxes was EUR 1.3 billion, up 105% versus EUR 642 million in the prior year quarter. The current quarter result was affected by the absorption of EUR 1.4 billion of specific charges, mainly in noninterest expenses and provision for credit losses, which were in part counterbalanced by EUR 758 million of specific positive revenue effects. Pre-tax return on average active equity, on a reported basis was 15%, and as per the bank's target definition, which excludes significant gains and charges, was 16%. 
For the first six months of 2009, net income was EUR 2.3 billion, versus EUR 504 million in the first six months of 2008. Income before income taxes was EUR 3.1 billion, versus EUR 388 million. Pre-tax return on average active equity was 19%, versus 3%, while per the firm's target definition, pre-tax return on average active equity was 20%, versus negative 4%. Diluted earnings per share were EUR 3.53, versus EUR 1.01 in the first six months of 2008. 
Dr. Josef Ackermann, Chairman of the Management Board, said: "In conditions which contained both opportunities and challenges, Deutsche Bank turned in very satisfactory results. The outlook for the remainder of 2009 is strongly influenced by progress in the global economy. In an uncertain environment, Deutsche Bank is well prepared. We have taken good advantage of improved conditions on financial markets, but we have also reduced costs and balance sheet risks, and strengthened our capital and liquidity base, all of which leaves us well-placed to confront near-term challenges. Whilst we continue to maintain strict balance sheet discipline, we also remain committed to supporting customers in a difficult credit environment. For private customers of Deutsche Bank branches in Germany, new mortgage lending is up by over 50% since a year ago, and our volume of loans to 'Mittelstand' companies is now around EUR 3 billion higher than at the onset of the crisis in late 2007."
Ackermann added: "We have witnessed stabilization of the world's banking industry and financial markets. Increased liquidity and lower volatility in financial markets are both supportive for our business. Our strategic focus and proven business model, our leading franchises in critical areas, and our financial strength, all position us well to take full advantage of opportunities, as and when business conditions improve."
Group Highlights
Net revenues for the quarter were EUR 7.9 billion, up 46% versus EUR 5.4 billion, after mark-downs of EUR 2.3 billion, in the second quarter of 2008. Net revenues in the current quarter included EUR 176 million of fair value losses on Deutsche Bank's own debt, compared with a fair value gain of EUR 15 million in the prior year quarter.
In the Corporate and Investment Bank (CIB), net revenues for the quarter were EUR 5.3 billion, up 84% versus the second quarter of 2008.
In Corporate Banking & Securities (CB&S), net revenues for the quarter were EUR 4.6 billion, up 110% versus the prior year quarter, driven predominantly by revenues in Sales & Trading, which were EUR 3.5 billion, compared to revenues of EUR 1.4 billion, after EUR 2.1 billion of mark-downs, in the prior year quarter. Revenues in Sales & Trading (debt and other products) were EUR 2.6 billion, reflecting substantial year-on-year growth in 'flow' products, including interest rate trading and money markets, and significant year-on-year gains in emerging markets debt trading. In credit trading, losses from legacy proprietary trading positions were significantly reduced versus the first quarter of 2009. In Sales & Trading (equity), revenues were EUR 903 million, the highest level for the last six quarters, and compared to EUR 830 million in the prior year quarter. This development primarily reflects a significant year-on-year improvement in equity derivatives trading, mainly in European flow and structured products, and solid volumes in cash equity trading, in an environment of rallying equity indices and increasing primary equity issuance during the quarter. Revenues in Origination were EUR 654 million, versus EUR 266 million in the prior year quarter, driven in part by increased volumes of both debt and equity issuance, an improving market environment for high-yield debt origination, and the non-recurrence of mark-downs of EUR 204 million related to leveraged loans and loan commitments  in the second quarter 2008. Advisory revenues were EUR 72 million, down from EUR 125 million in the prior year quarter, against a backdrop of the lowest quarterly market volumes of global M&A activity since the third quarter 2004.

In Global Transaction Banking (GTB), net revenues were EUR 653 million, down 3% versus the prior year quarter. This development reflects the negative impact of lower interest rates, partly counterbalanced by a positive impact of EUR 55 million from a revision of the bank's risk-based funding framework and market share gains in key product areas. Revenues grew in Trade Finance year-on-year despite lower volumes of world trade in more difficult economic conditions.
