Introduction

Commerzbank

Commerzbank is the leading bank for the German Mittelstand and a strong partner for around 30,000 corporate client groups and around 11 million private and small-business customers in Germany. The Bank's two Business Segments - Private and Small-Business Customers and Corporate Clients - offer a comprehensive portfolio of financial services.

Commerzbank transacts approximately 30 per cent of Germany's foreign trade and is present internationally in almost 40 countries in the corporate clients' business. The Bank focusses on the German Mittelstand, large corporates , and institutional clients. As part of its international business, Commerzbank supports clients with German connectivity and companies operating in selected future-oriented industries. Following the integration of Comdirect, private and small-business customers benefit from the services offered by one of Germany's most advanced online banks combined with personal advisory support on site. Its Polish subsidiary mBank S.A. is an innovative digital bank that serves approximately 5.5 million private and corporate customers, predominantly in Poland, but also in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

A detailed description of Commerzbank Group is given in the Annual Report 2020.

Objective of the Disclosure Report

In this report Commerzbank Aktiengesellschaft as the ultimate parent company of the regulated banking group is complying with the disclosure requirements of Articles 431 - 455 of regulation (EU) 2019/876 (CRR II) of the European parliament and of the Council of

20 May 2019 amending the Regulation (EU) No. (CRR I)- as of June 30, 2021. The regulation is supplemented by the final draft implementing technical standards EBA EBA/ITS/2020/04 from 24 June 2020, which specify the tables integrated in the report. The names of the predefined tables are indicated by the table names provided with the prefix EU.

The EBA has published the final 'Guidelines on reporting and disclosure of exposures subject to measures applied in response to the COVID-19 crisis' (EBA/GL/2020/07) on 2 June 2020. The disclosure of the tables required therein is to be made every six months during the reference period 30 June 2020 to 31 December 2021. The tables included in the report are identified by the given table names with the prefix COV.

Scope

This Disclosure Report is based on the group of companies consolidated for regulatory purposes. The companies consolidated for regulatory purposes only include those carrying out banking and other financial business. The consolidated group consists of a domestic parent company and its affiliated companies. The aim of regulatory consolidation is to prevent multiple use of capital that in fact exists only once by subsidiary companies in the financial sector. The companies consolidated under IFRS, by contrast, comprise all the companies controlled by the ultimate parent company.

Commerzbank is a large institution in accordance with Article 4(a) xv) 146 CRR, thus implementing the frequency requirements of Article 433a CRR.

Equity capital, capital requirement and RWA

Key metrics

In order to facilitate market participants' access to the most important equity and liquidity ratios of the institutions, Table KM1 with key parameters will be introduced from June 2021.

The table shows the information required by Articles 447(a) to

  1. and 438 (b) CRR. In particular, these include the available own funds, risk-weighted exposure amounts, capital ratios, combined capital buffers, leverage ratio and liquidity ratios, as well as some additional own funds requirements in order to obtain an overall overview of Commerzbank.

The decline in Common Equity Tier 1 capital (€m -259) compared with 31 March 2021 (€m 23,968) is mainly due to the balance sheet loss generated in Q2 and the higher regulatory deduction items, which are partly compensated by the positive capital effect of the actuarial gains. The Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio is unchanged compared to 31 March 2021 (13.4%), due to the offsetting development of risk-weighted assets (€m -883).

The increase in Tier 1 capital (€m +249) compared to 31 March 2021 (€m 26,938) is essentially due to the issue of a new AT1 bond (nominal: €m 500), which is responsible for the increase in the Tier 1 capital ratio (+20 bp) compared to 31 March 2021 (15.1%).
