Classification of the balance sheet and the income statement

Deutsche Post AG, whose registered office is in Bonn, is entered in com-mercial register B of the Bonn Local Court under number 6792.

Deutsche Post AG (DPAG) is a large corporation within the meaning of section 267 of the Handelsgesetzbuch (HGB - German Commercial Code). The annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020 were prepared in accordance with the accounting and reporting provisions of the HGB (sections 238ff. and 264ff. of the HGB) and of the Aktiengesetz (AktG - German Stock Corporation Act) (sections 150-160 of the AktG).

As the parent company of Deutsche Post DHL Group, Deutsche Post AG prepares consolidated financial statements on the basis of the Interna-tional Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), in accordance with sec-tion 315e(1) of the HGB. For this reason, no consolidated financial state-ments are prepared in accordance with the HGB.

The Company prepares the consolidated financial statements for the largest and smallest number of companies that are included in the con-solidated financial statements.

The annual and consolidated financial statements are published in the Bundesanzeiger (Federal Gazette).

The financial year is the calendar year.

The total cost (type of expenditure) method was applied to the income statement. Amounts are presented in millions of euros (€m).

To enhance the clarity of presentation, balance sheet and income state-ment headings are shown in aggregated form; they are broken down and explained separately in the notes.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Application of the accounting policies detailed below was basically unchanged as against the previous year. Changes not described in the accounting policies or the basis of presentation are explained in relation to the items in question.

(4)

Intangible assets

(5)

Property, plant and equipment

Purchased intangible assets are carried at cost, including incidental costs of acquisition, and reduced by straight-line amortisation and write-downs. Write-downs are recognised if the impairment is expected to be permanent. The useful life is five years; this is reduced appropriately in the event of shorter contract terms.

The option under section 248(2) of the HGB is exercised for internally generated intangible assets. These have been recognised at cost (devel-opment cost) since 1 January 2010 and are normally amortised over five years or their useful life, if longer.

Cost includes attributable direct costs from the consumption of goods and the utilisation of services, as well as an appropriate portion of indirect materials and labour costs, and depreciation and amortisation expenses attributable to the development process.

Property, plant and equipment that is used for business operations for more than one year is carried at cost, including incidental costs of acqui-sition, and reduced by straight-line depreciation.

In addition to direct costs, cost includes an appropriate share of indirect materials and labour costs. Borrowing costs are not capitalised.

The following useful lives are applied:

Useful lives

Buildings

Technical equipment and machinery

IT systems

Other operating and office equipment

Low-value assets with original cost of between €250 and €1,000

20 to

50 years

10 to

20 years

4 to

5 years

8 to

10 years

5 years

Additions to property, plant and equipment are depreciated rateably. Write-downs are recognised if the net realisable values of individual as-sets are lower than their carrying amounts and impairment is expected to be permanent.

Subsidies received are reported under deferred income and reversed over the useful life of the property, plant and equipment.

An annual pooled item within the meaning of section 6(2a) of the Ein-kommensteuergesetz (EStG - German Income Tax Act) is recognised for low-value assets whose cost, net of any input tax contained in that amount, is more than €250 and up to €1,000. The annual pooled item is depreciated over five years through the income statement. The item is not reduced if an item of operating assets is disposed of before the end of the five-year period. Assets whose cost (net of any input tax) is less than €250 are recognised in full as operating expenses in the year of their acquisition.

(6)

Non-current financial assets

Shares in affiliated companies, other equity investments and long-term securities are carried at cost or, if their value is expected to be perma-nently impaired, at the lower net realisable value. If the reasons for per-manent impairment no longer exist, the write-downs are reversed up to net realisable value, but not exceeding original cost.

Shares and other equity investments in foreign affiliated companies that were purchased in foreign currencies are translated at the acquisition date exchange rate. If the currency risk of newly acquired companies was hedged, their carrying amounts are translated at the hedging rate.

The cost of long-term loans at below-market interest rates or non-inter-est loans corresponds to their present value at the grant date. Other loans are carried at their principal amounts. Interest cost added back on dis-counted loans is reported under additions.

(7)

Inventories

(8)

Receivables and Other assets

(9)

Securities

(10)

Cash and cash equivalents

(11)

Prepaid expenses

Spare parts for conveyor and sorting systems at freight mail centres are reported at fixed values under inventories; other consumables and sup-plies are carried at moving or weighted average prices at the balance sheet date. Goods purchased and held for resale are measured at cost or at moving average prices. Appropriate valuation allowances are applied where necessary, with the strict principle of the lower of cost or market being applied. Work in progress is measured at cost, while prepayments are measured at the amount paid.

Receivables and other assets are carried at their principal amounts less any specific valuation allowances.

The general risk of counterparty default is taken into account on the basis of past experience using a general bad debt allowance.

Securities classified as current assets are carried at cost or the lower net realisable value at the balance sheet date.

Bank balances, cash-in-hand and cheques are carried at their nominal amounts. Cash denominated in foreign currency is measured at the mid-dle spot rate on the reporting date.

Expenses incurred prior to the balance sheet date that represent ex-penses for a specific period after that date are recognised as prepaid ex-penses.

The Company exercises the option set out in section 250(3) of the HGB and recognises discounts as assets.

Any difference between the settlement amount and the value on issu-ance of a liability is included in prepaid expenses and amortised over the term of the liability.

(12)

Equity

Subscribed capital is carried at its nominal amount.

(13)

Provisions

Provisions are recognised at the settlement amount dictated by prudent business judgement. Other provisions with a remaining maturity of more than one year are discounted at the average market interest rate for the preceding seven financial years corresponding to their remaining ma-turity.

Provisions for pensions and similar obligations are recognised on the ba-sis of actuarial reports. They are measured using the projected unit credit method. These provisions are calculated using the 2018 G tables created by Prof. Dr Klaus Heubeck. Increases in wages and pensions and staff turnover are taken into account. The provisions are recognised at their settlement amount, which reflects discounting at the average market in-terest rate for the preceding 10 years as published by the Bundesbank. A remaining maturity of 15 years is assumed in accordance with section 253(2) sentence 2 of the HGB.

The Company has exercised the option to recognise indirect pension ob-ligations as provisions as set out in section 28(1) of the Einfüh-rungsgesetz zum Handelsgesetzbuch (EGHGB - Introductory Act to the German Commercial Code).

For the addition to provisions for pensions arising from the measurement requirements of the Bilanzrechtsmodernisierungsgesetz (BilMoG - Ger-man Accounting Law Modernisation Act) as at 1 January 2010, the option to allocate this amount rateably over 15 years has been exercised. This annual addition is reported in other operating expenses.

In accordance with section 246(2) sentence 2 of the HGB, assets that are not accessible to any other creditors and that may only be used to meet liabilities from pension obligations or similar long-term obligations are recognised at fair value as plan assets and offset against corresponding provisions.

If the fair value of the plan assets exceeds their historical cost, the excess amount is subject to a restriction on distribution in accordance with sec-tion 268(8) of the HGB.

The same applies to working time accounts financed by employees accu-mulating working time credits and deferring a portion of their salary. The accounts are classified as externally funded obligations. The value of the provisions depends on the changes in value of the plan assets which are to be funded by Deutsche Post AG and which are measured at fair value.

Provisions for pensions also include pension obligations assumed under joint liability arrangements.

Provisions for taxes and other provisions are recognised in the amount required to settle the obligation according to prudent business judge-ment. All discernible risks are taken into account in an appropriate man-ner when measuring the provisions. Provisions with a remaining maturity of more than one year are discounted as at the reporting date using the discount rate published by Deutsche Bundesbank. The discount rate used is the average market rate for the past seven financial years for the ma-turity concerned.

Deutsche Post AG has entered into partial retirement agreements with varying terms and conditions; these are based both on the "block model" and on the "continuous reduced working hours model". In addition, par- tial retirement allowances are paid. Two types of obligations arise in this context; both are measured at their present value in accordance with ac-tuarial principles and are recognised separately from each other.

(14)

Liabilities

(15)

Deferred income

(16)

Currency translation

Liabilities are carried at their settlement amount. Where the redemption amount of a liability is higher than the value on issuance, the difference is capitalised and allocated over the term of the liability.

Receipts prior to the balance sheet date that represent income for a spe-cific period after that date are recognised as deferred income.

Foreign currency transactions are translated at the historical exchange rate at the date of initial recognition.

Balance sheet items are measured as follows:

Non-current foreign currency receivables are recognised at the offer rate when the receivable is recognised or at the lower of cost or market using the middle spot rate at the reporting date (principle of imparity). Current foreign currency receivables (maturity of one year or less) and cash funds or other current foreign currency assets are translated at the middle spot rate at the balance sheet date.

Non-current foreign currency liabilities are recognised at the bid rate when the liability is recognised or at the higher closing rate, using the middle spot rate at the reporting date (principle of imparity). Current for-eign currency liabilities (maturity of one year or less) are translated at the middle spot rate at the balance sheet date.

The application of hedge accounting is explained in note 49.

(17)

Deferred taxes

Deferred taxes are attributable to differences between the amounts rec-ognised for assets, liabilities, prepaid expenses and deferred income in the HGB financial statements and in the tax accounts that will reverse in future periods. At Deutsche Post AG, this covers both differences relating to the Company's own balance sheet items and those relating to compa- nies in its consolidated tax group and to partnerships in which Deutsche Post AG holds an equity interest. Tax loss carry forwards are taken into account in addition to temporary differences if they are expected to be utilised in the next five years.

Deferred taxes are calculated on the basis of an effective tax rate of 30.5%, which is expected to apply at the time the differences reverse. De-ferred tax liabilities are offset against deferred tax assets. The Company exercises the option set out in section 274(1) sentence 2 of the HGB and consequently does not present net deferred tax assets on the balance sheet.

The contingent capital increase serves to grant Performance Share Units (PSUs) to selected Group executives. The new shares participate in profit from the beginning of the financial year in which they are issued. In finan-cial year 2020 the authorisation resulted in the creation of 2.55 million new shares that were issued to executives in September to settle claims from bonus year 2016.

lion shares with a proportionate interest in the share capital not to exceed €33 million. The new shares participate in profit from the beginning of

the financial year in which they are issued. The share capital was in-creased on a contingent basis by up to €33 million. Contingent capital

was not utilised in financial year 2020.

Contingent Capital 2020/1

lion shares with a proportionate interest in the share capital not to exceed €40 million. The new shares participate in profit from the beginning of

the financial year in which they are issued. The share capital was in- creased on a contingent basis by up to €40 million. Contingent capital

was not utilised in financial year 2020.

Authorisation to acquire treasury shares

By way of a resolution adopted by the Annual General Meeting on 28 April 2017, the company is authorised to acquire treasury shares in the period to 27 April 2022 of up to 10% of the share capital existing when the res-olution was adopted. The authorisation permits the Board of Manage-ment to exercise it for every purpose permitted by law, and in particular to pursue the goals mentioned in the resolution by the Annual General

Meeting. In addition, the Board of Management is authorised to acquire treasury shares totalling up to 5% of the share capital existing when the resolution was adopted by means including using derivatives.

Share Matching Scheme

To settle the claims from bonus years 2019 and 2016 of the Share Matching Scheme, 2,003,334 shares were purchased in March and April

(2020 Share Buyback Programme) at an average price per share of €21.59 (March) and €24.03 (April) for an aggregate amount of €45 mil-

lion.

A total of 1,853,627 shares were issued to beneficiaries (bonus year 2019) in April 2020 at a price of €23.83.

Treasury shares were acquired on the market as part of the 2020 and

2016/2017 Share Buyback Programmes in order to service long-term executive remuneration programmes. In April 2020, these shares were used to settle claims under the Share Matching Scheme (bonus year

2016). A total of 1,133,401 shares at a share price of €24.78 each were

issued to eligible employees.

Annex 5 contains further details on the changes in treasury shares.

Performance Share Plan

In September, the share capital was increased on a contingent basis to settle claims under the Performance Share Plan (bonus year 2016). The share capital was increased by 2,552,650 shares.

Reserves

Capital reserves

Share Matching Scheme

Under the terms of the Share Matching Scheme introduced in 2009, a portion of the short-term variable remuneration component (annual bo-nus) for eligible employees is paid in the form of Deutsche Post AG shares (incentive shares). All eligible employees can also individually increase the equity component they acquire by converting a further portion of their variable remuneration into shares (investment shares). After the four-year lock-up period expires, the eligible employees are then awarded the same number of Deutsche Post AG shares in addition (matching shares).

The capital reserves in accordance with section 272(2) no. 2 of the HGB increased by €2 million to accommodate the claims to deferred incentive shares acquired in the current financial year. These rights will be settled in April of the following year by delivering treasury shares. The claims ac- quired in the previous year (€2 million) were deducted from the capital reserves when the incentive shares were settled in the reporting period.

A total of €25 million for claims to matching shares acquired up to 31 De-cember 2019 was withdrawn from the capital reserves and reported in other provisions.

An amount of €3 million was transferred to the capital reserves due to the difference in the purchase price and the issuing price of the treasury shares under the Share Matching Scheme (section 272(2) no. 1 of the HGB).

Performance Share Plan

In 2014 the former Stock Appreciation Rights programme was replaced with the new Performance Share Plan (PSP). Performance Share Units are rights based on the share price that are settled at the end of the wait-ing period in shares of the Company.

In September, the share capital was increased on a contingent basis to settle claims under the Performance Share Plan (bonus year 2016). The capital reserves increased by €74 million as a result.

Revenue reserves

Share Matching Scheme

The shares acquired in the reporting period to settle claims under the

Share Matching Scheme (bonus years 2019 and 2016) led to a €43 mil- lion decrease in the revenue reserves.

The revenue reserves increased by €42 million due to the issue of shares to beneficiaries (bonus year 2019) and by €4 million due to the settle- ment of rights from the 2016 tranche.

Treasury shares were acquired on the market as part of the 2016/2017 Share Buyback Programme in order to service long-term executive re-muneration programmes. In April 2020, these shares were used to settle claims to matching shares from bonus year 2016. The revenue reserves increased by €23 million as a result.

The revenue reserves decreased by €3 million as a result of the difference in the purchase price and the issuing price of the treasury shares under the Share Matching Scheme.

Net retained profit

On 27 August 2020, the Annual General Meeting resolved to distribute €1,422 million of the €6,484 million net retained profit for financial year 2019 and to carry forward €5,062 million to new account. The dividend was paid out in financial year 2020.

Including the net profit for the current financial year of €2,915 million, the net retained profit for 2020 amounts to €7,977 million.

Amounts subject to restrictions on distribution

Amounts subject to restrictions on distribution as at 31 December 2020 resulted from the capitalisation of internally generated software, the fair value measurement of plan assets and different calculations of the pre-sent value of provisions for pensions (the difference between the 7-year and the 10-year average discount rate).

Provisions for pensions and similar obligations relate on the one hand to obligations on the part of Deutsche Post AG towards its own current em- ployees and pensioners in the amount of €3,593 million (previous year: €3,296 million). In addition, corresponding obligations of €13 million (previous year: €14 million), which were incurred by subsidiaries and which Deutsche Post AG assumed under joint liability arrangements, are reported under this item.

Provisions for pensions for Deutsche Post AG's current employees and pensioners are composed of the following items:

*Offset against plan assets

Provisions for pensions relate firstly to benefit commitments to salaried employees and hourly workers that establish a direct benefit claim against Deutsche Post AG, and secondly to indirect pension obligations to employees covered by collective wage agreements.

An aggregate addition of €507 million was calculated during the remeas- urement of the provisions for pensions as at 1 January 2010 due to the introduction of the BilMoG; the calculation was based on actuarial reports (projected unit credit method; Heubeck 2005 G mortality tables). €280 million of this amount was attributable to direct benefit obligations and €227 million to indirect benefit obligations. Deutsche Post AG is spread- ing the addition over 15 years in accordance with section 67(1) of the EGHGB. The total annual additions amount to €34 million and are re-ported in other operating expenses.

The total interest expenses of €593 million incurred in relation to provi-sions for pensions included income of €52 million from plan assets/as- sets.

Indirect benefit obligations

Indirect benefit obligations are granted and funded via the Versorgungs-anstalt der Deutschen Bundespost (VAP) and DP Pensionsfonds AG. After the benefit obligations were offset against assets, a net provision of €151 million was recognised for indirect benefit obligations.

Adequate provisions were recognised at the balance sheet date for indi-rect benefit obligations to hourly workers and salaried employees.

Direct benefit obligations

Provisions for direct benefit obligations amounted to €3,442 million as at 31 December 2020.

As at the reporting date, Deutsche Post AG's plan assets as defined by section 246(2) sentence 2 of the HGB amounted to €4,109 million (fair value); these were offset against the obligations of €7,683 million less the unrecognised difference of €132 million. The acquisition cost of the plan assets amounted to €3,746 million.

Assumption of obligations under joint liability arrangements

In previous years, Deutsche Post AG entered into agreements with sub-sidiaries in which it assumed joint liability for individual pension obliga-tions on the part of these subsidiaries. These obligations amounted to €13 million as at the reporting date.

The indirect and direct benefit obligations and the obligations for which Deutsche Post AG has assumed joint liability were calculated using the 10-year average discount rate in accordance with section 253(2) of the HGB. The difference in the amounts calculated for the benefit obligations using the 7-year average rate and the 10-year average rate is €824 mil- lion.

The income/expense resulting from the change in the discount rate is re-ported in the financial result. The provisions for pensions were calculated on the basis of the following assumptions:

Provisions for taxes

Provisions for taxes relate to tax expenses for the current year and po-tential tax arrears payable due to ongoing external tax audits, including the interest attributable to these arrears.

Restructuring

This item primarily includes the expenses for an early retirement pro-gramme for civil servants and expenses for partial retirement and sever-ance payments.

At the end of 2011, Deutsche Post AG used a collective agreement to in-troduce a special retirement model in the form of a combined partial re-tirement and working time account model. The top-up payments arising under the partial retirement arrangements in this model are recognised as provisions. Provisions are recognised for the payments made by em-ployees into their working time accounts.

Pension liability insurance (plan assets within the meaning of section 246(2) of the HGB) has been taken out to meet the obligations resulting from the working time accounts. The provisions required for the working time accounts and the receivable under the pension liability insurance have been offset against each other.

The following overview shows the basis for offsetting:

No cost was recognised for the insurance policies, since the payments made by the participating employees are transferred directly to the in-surance company.

Income from plan assets amounted to €13 million in the reporting period (previous year: €13 million).

Assumption of obligations

In previous years, Deutsche Post AG entered into contracts in which it un-dertook vis-à-vis a number of subsidiaries to assume responsibility inter-nally for certain pension obligations on the part of these subsidiaries. The obligations assumed by Deutsche Post AG amounted to €224 million as at the reporting date.

Non-current provisions were discounted using the discount rate pub-lished by the Deutsche Bundesbank for the average maturity of the obli-gations.

Postage stamps

The provision for postage stamps relates to stamps that have been sold by the reporting date but for which the corresponding service has yet to be performed. Utilisation of prior-year stocks in the amount of €125 mil- lion was assumed in financial year 2020. €130 million was added to the provision, based on external expert reports prepared in 2015 and peri-odic updates made on the basis of internal data.

The amounts due to banks mainly comprise liabilities from promissory note loans (€150 million) and the sale of residential building loans (€49

million).

Deutsche Post AG manages the residential building loans as a trustee.

The payments received are forwarded to the purchasers of the loans (banks) in accordance with a defined interest and principal payment schedule.

As borrowers make unscheduled repayments on existing loans, some of the funds initially remain with Deutsche Post AG due to the defined inter-est and principal payment schedule, and are forwarded to the purchasers of the loans at a later date. Liabilities due to banks therefore include an amount of €49 million (previous year: €63 million) from unscheduled re-

payments.

Liabilities to affiliated companies mainly comprise liabilities from Group cash management (in-house banking) in the amount of €9,273 million (previous year: €8,836 million).

Other liabilities chiefly relate to liabilities from an early retirement pro-gramme, tax liabilities and a liability in connection with a property sale.

A matching item for the purchase price payments of €201 million that were received has been recognised under other liabilities due to condi-tions precedent relating to real estate sales.

(35)

Deferred income

In 2015, the Company acquired, against payment, liabilities for pension commitments by subsidiaries by way of an assumption of obligations. The difference between the settlement amount under the HGB and the amount under the IFRSs (€34 million) was recognised as deferred in-come and will be reversed using the straight-line method over the ex-pected average duration of the obligations. As at 31 December 2020, the amount recognised in deferred income was €23 million.

Apart from this, deferred income largely comprises subsidies for electric-powered vehicles.

* Prior-year figures restated due to changes in product allocations and reporting structures: revenue from transporting documents and goods across Germany's borders has been presented as International revenue.

The increase in revenue is mainly the result of the German parcel busi-ness, which in turn saw growth from an increase in volumes and the re-turn of parcel delivery by the former DHL Delivery regional companies to Deutsche Post AG as part of the retroactive merger as at 1 January 2019. Increased parcel volumes are attributable to the restrictions in place due to the pandemic and the associated rise in deliveries of online purchases.

In financial year 2019, revenue of €480 million from the retroactive mer- ger as at 1 January 2019 was reported under Other Post & Parcel.

Other services totalling €450 million (previous year: €470 million)

mainly include reimbursement for employee leasing, rental agreements and leases, and income from service level agreements.

Expenses for wages, salaries and emoluments increased by €158 million year-on-year.

In financial year 2020, expenses for early retirement programmes amounted to €108 million (previous year: €139 million), while severance payments came in at €58 million (previous year: €52 million). The work of the employees of Deutsche Post AG under pandemic conditions was recognised with a one-time payment made to employees totalling €50 million. An additional bonus payment was agreed in collective bar-gaining negotiations in financial year 2020, which resulted in expenses of €43 million.

The increase in social security contributions, retirement benefit expenses and other benefit expenses by €39 million was mainly due to higher so-cial security contributions (€26 million) and an increase in retirement benefit expenses (€22 million).

Since financial year 2000, Deutsche Post AG has been legally required to contribute 33% of the pensionable gross emoluments of its active civil servants and the notional pensionable gross emoluments of its civil serv-ants on leave of absence to the Postbeamtenversorgungskasse (PVK - Postal Civil Servant Pension Fund). The Bundesanstalt für Post und Tele-kommunikation Deutsche Bundespost (BAnst PT) performs the PVK's tasks.

It falls to the German federal government to guarantee that the PVK is always in a position to meet its obligations.

Contributions made to the BAnst PT in the reporting period amounted to €376 million. The prior-year amount was €409 million.

The average number of employees classified by employee groups in the period under review was as follows:

New employees have not been granted civil servant status since 1 Janu-ary 1995. Employees with civil servant status as at that date are perma-nent civil servants who continue to be governed by the provisions of civil servant law.

Financial result 2,215

The financial result comprises net investment income and net interest in-come.

The change in net investment income is mainly due to the €857 million increase in income from profit transfer agreements attributable to Deutsche Post Beteiligungen Holding GmbH. Deutsche Post Be- teiligungen Holding GmbH's earnings were the result of very good oper- ating results generated by the subsidiaries and the reversal of the write-down of the carrying amount of the investment in a subsidiary.

The decline in net interest income was mainly attributable to income from plan assets/assets, which was down €364 million due to a de- creased return. In contrast, interest expense from interest on provisions for pensions was down €86 million. Income from plan assets/assets is set off against the interest expense from pension provisions and reported as a net figure.

(44)

Taxes on income

An expense of €274 million was recognised under taxes on income in the

reporting period. Expenses attributable to the reporting period amounted to €268 million. In previous years, expenses of €6 million were

reported.

Offsetting deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities (net presenta-tion method) resulted in net deferred tax assets at the balance sheet date.

Since the Company does not exercise the recognition option set out in section 274(1) sentence 2 of the HGB, no deferred tax assets are recog-nised on the balance sheet.

Deferred tax assets result primarily from differences between the carry-ing amounts of provisions for pensions, other provisions and liabilities in the financial statements and their tax base. Deferred tax assets were also recognised in respect of tax loss carry forwards that will reverse within the next five years according to the Company's projections. Deferred

taxes are calculated on the basis of a tax rate of 30.5%.

Based on the net retained profit for financial year 2020 in the amount of €7,977 million, the Board of Management will propose a dividend of €1.35 per no-par value share carrying dividend rights. This corresponds to a total dividend of €1,673 million. The amount of €6,304 million re-

maining after deduction of the planned total dividend will be carried for-ward to new account.

The final total dividend will be based on the number of shares carrying dividend rights at the time the Annual General Meeting resolves upon the appropriation of the net retained profit on the day the AGM convenes.

OTHER DISCLOSURES

(47)

Off-balance sheet items

Trust activities

Trust activities as at 31 December 2020 relate to loan administration for housing construction promotion and to the responsibilities agreed in ac-cordance with section 119 of Book 6 of the Sozialgesetzbuch (SGB - Ger-man Social Security Code) relating to cash benefit payments by pension insurance funds (Postal Pension Service).

The trust assets for the Postal Pension Service as at 31 December 2020 amounted to €102 million (previous year: €75 million).

The trust assets for housing construction promotion amounted to €57 million (previous year: €73 million).

As at 31 December 2020, Deutsche Post AG administered trust assets of €224 million (previous year: €229 million) resulting from the sale of re-

ceivables from business clients.

These transactions do not result in significant future benefits or risks for Deutsche Post AG.

Other financial obligations

Other financial obligations amounted to €3,066 million at the balance sheet date. Of this figure, €2,724 million is attributable to affiliated com-

panies. There were no other financial obligations to associates or from pension obligations.

In the previous year, other financial obligations amounted to €2,974 mil-lion, including obligations of €2,636 million to affiliated companies.

GmbH, which acts as the Group's centralised property leasing company.

(48)

Contingencies

Deutsche Post AG has furnished a large number of comfort letters, sure-ties and guarantees to secure loan, lease, supplier, delivery and service agreements to be entered into by Group companies, associates and joint ventures. This enabled the Group to obtain better contract terms locally.

Due to past experience and continuous monitoring of the liquidity situa-tion in its companies, Deutsche Post AG is of the opinion that the risk of the comfort letters, sureties and guarantees being called must be consid-ered extremely low. Therefore there was no need to recognise a liability for these contingencies on the balance sheet.

Contingencies relating to guarantees in accordance with section 765 of the Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch (BGB - German Civil Code), which were solely due to affiliated companies, amounted to €777 million (previous year: €799 million).

Guarantees amounting to €7,293 million (previous year: €7,094 million) were issued. Of this amount, guarantees totalling €7,281 million (previ-ous year: €7,080 million) were issued in respect of affiliated companies.

Comfort letters issued amounted to €121 million (previous year: €288 million). These were issued solely to affiliated companies in the year un- der review (previous year: €283 million).

Moreover, the figures above also contain contingencies (exclusively guarantees to affiliated companies) in the amount of €122 million (pre- vious year: €103 million), which were specifically furnished in respect of retirement obligations.

In addition to the contingent liabilities referred to above, Deutsche Post AG issued declarations of joint and several liability (403 Verklaringen - section 403 guarantees - under Dutch law) for 21 subsidiaries in the Netherlands in order to dispense with disclosing their financial state- ments. The liability declarations cover all of the companies' legal trans- actions.

Hedging policy and derivatives

As an international company, Deutsche Post AG is inevitably exposed to financial risks such as those from movements in exchange rates, interest rates or commodity prices. As part of its centralised risk management system, Deutsche Post AG assumes the role of an in-house bank within Deutsche Post DHL Group. In this capacity, Group-wide financial risks are centralised as far as possible and external hedging transactions are en- tered into with banks in order to hedge the Group's position; some of these transactions are in turn transferred internally to Group companies. Primary and derivative financial instruments are used to offset risks from exchange rate, interest rate and commodity price movements.

The following table provides an overview of the derivative financial in-struments employed and their notional amounts and fair values as at 31 December 2020:

The notional volume is calculated as the sum of the absolute amounts of the individual transactions. A distinction is made between intragroup transactions (in-house bank function) and external transactions with banks. The fair values are calculated as the net unrealised gains and losses in each class of derivative from the measurement of the positions.

The fair values of currency forwards were determined on the basis of cur-rent market prices, taking into account forward premiums and discounts.

The fair values of the interest rate swaps were measured on the basis of discounted expected future cash flows and include accrued interest. The fair values of these instruments were determined using the Group's

treasury management system. The fair values of commodity price swaps were provided by the banks with which the hedges were originally con-cluded.

Under the HGB, derivatives represent executory contracts that are gen-erally not recognised in the balance sheet. Executory contracts are meas-ured in accordance with the principle of imparity under the HGB. A provi-sion for expected losses is created to reflect unrealised losses from exec-utory contracts, while unrealised gains are not recognised. A provision for expected losses must therefore generally be reported for derivatives with a negative fair value at the balance sheet date.

As an exception to this basic rule, hedge accounting in accordance with section 254 of the HGB may be applied to derivatives under certain con-ditions. If hedge accounting is applied, assets, liabilities, executory con-tracts or highly probable forecast transactions are combined with finan-cial instruments to net out offsetting changes in value or cash flows re- sulting from the occurrence of comparable risks. Either the "gross hedge presentation method" or the "net hedge presentation method" may be

used. If the gross hedge presentation method is used, the fair values of the derivatives are recognised in the income statement; if the net hedge presentation method is used, the carrying amounts are not adjusted to reflect fair value changes resulting from effective hedging relationships.

Deutsche Post AG exercised the option to apply hedge accounting in the following cases as at the reporting date:

Foreign currency receivables and liabilities from external bank balances, in-house bank balances and loans (recognised hedged items) with a net volume of €3,046 million were combined - using the gross hedge

presentation method - with currency forwards (hedging instruments) with a net volume of €3,046 million to form homogeneous portfolio

hedges for each currency to hedge the currency risk. The hedged risk was €19 million. Where the gross hedge presentation method is used, the

positive or negative fair values of the derivatives in question are recog-nised in other assets/other liabilities in the balance sheet.

The relevant portfolios are adjusted on a continuous basis. Where neces-sary, the maturities of hedging instruments falling due are extended us-ing new hedging instruments. Due to the differing maturity dates for hedged items and hedging instruments, the carrying amounts of the hedged items in the balance sheet, which increased by €2 million, are off-

set by corresponding hedging instruments with a negative net fair value of €-19 million. Corresponding other operating income and expense items were recorded in the income statement. Hedge effectiveness is prospectively assessed using the critical terms match method and retro-spectively measured using the cumulative dollar-offset method, whereby only value changes attributable to spot prices are included.

Hedge effectiveness is expected to be 100% since the primary measure-ment characteristics of the hedged items and hedging transactions match.

A provision for expected losses amounting to €1 million was recognised

for the portion of the fair values of the hedging instruments not attribut-able to changes in spot prices and thus not included in the hedging rela-tionship.

External commodity price swaps totalling €45 million (fair value: €-7 million) were combined with very likely future transactions into a macro hedge using the net hedge presentation method to hedge com- modity risk. The hedged risk was €7 million. The future transactions con-

stitute planned purchases of diesel fuel in the notional amount of €45 million during the period up to the end of December 2022. Hedge effec-tiveness is prospectively assessed using the critical terms match method and retrospectively measured using the cumulative dollar-offset method. Hedge effectiveness is expected to be 100% since the primary characteristics of the hedged items and hedging transactions match.

A provision for expected losses of €7 million was recognised for the syn-

thetic fixed-price procurement transaction resulting from the hedge.

Hedge accounting was not used for the following:

External currency transactions with a volume of €942 million (net fair value: €-8 million; this includes positive fair values (€1 million) and neg-

ative fair values (€-9 million)) maturing in 2025 were not hedged be-cause the underlying risks are not attributable to Deutsche Post AG, but to other Group companies. A provision for expected losses of €9 million

was recognised for the negative fair values of these transactions.

A provision for expected losses of €16 million was recognised for an in- ternal interest rate swap with a volume of €500 million (fair value: €-24

million, including €-7 million in accrued interest), which matures in 2022.

Total provisions for expected losses on derivatives as at 31 December 2020 amounted to €33 million (previous year: €28 million).

Report on post-balance sheet date events

The list of shareholdings in accordance with section 285 nos. 11, 11a and 11b of the HGB is contained in Annex 3.

The Board of Management and the Supervisory Board of Deutsche Post AG jointly published the Declaration of Conformity with the German Cor-porate Governance Code for financial year 2020 required by section 161 of the AktG. The full text of the Declaration of Conformity is continuously available to the public on the Internet atwww.corporate-governance-code.de and on the website atwww.dpdhl.com(section 161(2) of the AktG).

Information on the auditor's fee is given in the consolidated financial statements of Deutsche Post AG and is therefore not disclosed here on the basis of the exemption provided for under section 285 no. 17 of the HGB.

Deutsche Post AG and its German subsidiaries also received other assur-ance services mainly including certificates for the internal control sys-tem. Other services were chiefly services within the scope of the further development of the internal control system outside the financial organi-sation.

There were no events after the balance sheet date that could have a ma- terial effect on Deutsche Post AG's results of operations, financial posi- tion and net assets.

Supervisory Board remuneration

Remuneration for the members of the Supervisory Board is governed by article 17 of the Articles of Association of Deutsche Post AG, according to which Supervisory Board members only receive fixed annual remunera- tion in the amount of €70,000 (as in the previous year).

The Supervisory Board chairman and the Supervisory Board committee chairs receive an additional 100% of the remuneration, and the Supervi-sory Board deputy chair and committee members receive an additional 50%. This does not apply to the Mediation or Nomination Committees.

Those who only serve on the Supervisory Board or its committees, or act as chair or deputy chair, for part of the financial year are remunerated on a pro-rata basis.

As in the previous year, Supervisory Board members receive an attend- ance allowance of €1,000 for each plenary meeting of the Supervisory

Board or committee meeting that they attend. They are entitled to the re-imbursement of out-of-pocket cash expenses incurred in the exercise of their office. Any value added tax charged on Supervisory Board remuner-ation or out-of-pocket expenses is reimbursed.

The remuneration for 2020 totalled €2.6 million, as in the previous year.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To Deutsche Post AG, Bonn

REPORT ON THE AUDIT OF THE ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND OF THE MANAGE-MENT REPORT

Audit Opinions

We have audited the annual financial statements of Deutsche Post AG, Bonn, which comprise the balance sheet as at December 31, 2020, the statement of profit and loss for the financial year from January 1 to December 31, 2020, and the notes to the financial statements, including the presentation of the recogni-tion and measurement policies. In addition, we have audited the management report of Deutsche Post AG, which is combined with the group management report, for the financial year from January 1 to December 31, 2020. In accordance with the German legal requirements, we have not audited the content of those parts of the management report listed in the "Other Information" section of our auditor's report.

In our opinion, on the basis of the knowledge obtained in the audit,

  • the accompanying annual financial statements comply, in all material respects, with the requirements of German commercial law and give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities and financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2020 and of its financial performance for the financial year from January 1 through December 31, 2020 in compliance with German Legally Required Accounting Prin-ciples, and

  • the accompanying management report as a whole provides an appropriate view of the Company's po- sition. In all material respects, this management report is consistent with the annual financial state-ments, complies with German legal requirements and appropriately presents the opportunities and risks of future development. Our audit opinion on the management report does not cover the content of those parts of the management report listed in the "Other Information" section of our auditor's re- port.

Pursuant to § [Article] 322 Abs. [paragraph] 3 Satz [sentence] 1 HGB [Handelsgesetzbuch: German Com-mercial Code], we declare that our audit has not led to any reservations relating to the legal compliance of the annual financial statements and of the management report.

Basis for the Audit Opinions

We conducted our audit of the annual financial statements and of the management report in accordance with § 317 HGB and the EU Audit Regulation (No. 537/2014, referred to subsequently as "EU Audit Regu-lation") in compliance with German Generally Accepted Standards for Financial Statement Audits promul-gated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer [Institute of Public Auditors in Germany] (IDW). We performed the audit of the annual financial statements in supplementary compliance with the International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those requirements, principles and standards are further de- scribed in the "Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Annual Financial Statements and of the Man- agement Report" section of our auditor's report. We are independent of the Company in accordance withthe requirements of German commercial and professional law, and we have fulfilled our other German professional responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. In addition, in accordance with Article 10 (2) point (f) of the EU Audit Regulation, we declare that we have not provided non-audit services pro-hibited under Article 5 (1) of the EU Audit Regulation. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions on the annual financial statements and on the management report.

Key Audit Matters in the Audit of the Annual Financial Statements

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the annual financial statements for the financial year from 1 January to 31 December 2020. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the annual financial statements as a whole, and in forming our audit opinion thereon; we do not provide a separate audit opinion on these matters.

In our view, the matters of most significance in our audit were as follows:

Valuation of shares in affiliated companies

Pension provisions

Our presentation of these key audit matters has been structured in each case as follows:

  • Matter and issue

  • Audit approach and findings

  • Reference to further information

Hereinafter we present the key audit matters:

  • Valuation of shares in affiliated companies

  • In the annual financial statements of the Company, shares in affiliated companies amounting to € 7,361 million (17.1% of total assets) are reported under the "Financial assets" balance sheet item.

    Shares in affiliated companies are measured in accordance with German commercial law at the lower of cost or fair value. The fair values are calculated as the present values of the expected future cash flows according to the planning projections prepared by the executive directors, using discounted cashflow models. Expectations relating to future market developments and assump-tions about the development of macroeconomic factors are also taken into account. The discount rate used is the individually determined cost of capital for the relevant financial asset. Based on the values calculated and other documentation, there was no need to recognize impairment losses.

    The outcome of this valuation exercise is dependent to a large extent on estimates made by the executive directors of the future cash flows, and on the respective discount rates and rates of

growth employed. The valuation is therefore subject to material uncertainty. In the light of this background and the highly complex nature of the measurement as well as the material signifi-cance for the net assets and financial performance of the Company, this matter was of particular significance during our audit.

  • As part of our audit we assessed the methodology employed for the purposes of the valuation exercise, among other things. In particular, we assessed whether the fair values had been appro-priately determined using discounted cashflow models in compliance with the relevant measure-ment standards. We based our assessment, among other things, on a comparison with general and sector-specific market expectations as well as on explanations from the executive directors regarding the key planning value drivers underlying the expected cash flows. In the knowledge that even relatively small changes in the discount rate applied can have a material impact on the company value that is calculated in this way, we also focused our testing in particular on the pa-rameters used to determine the discount rate applied, and evaluated the measurement model. In our view, the valuation parameters and underlying valuation assumptions used by the executive directors are appropriate overall, taking account of the available information, for the purpose of appropriately measuring the shares in affiliated companies.

  • The Company's disclosures on financial assets are contained in Item 20 of the notes.

  • Pension provisions

  • In the annual financial statements of the Company, pension provisions amounting to € 3,606 mil- lion (8.4% of total assets) are reported under the "Provisions for pensions and similar obligations"

    balance sheet item. The pension provisions comprise the net amount of direct obligations to the Company's own employees and pensioners amounting to € 7,683 million (less the difference not balanced of € 132 million from the BilMoG conversion) and the fair value of the plan assets amounting to € 4,109 million and also include the indirect obligations recognised as a liability from the external pension institutions' shortfall in the amount of € 151 million. Corresponding ob- ligations amounting to € 13 million are also reported under the balance sheet item, for which the

    Company has internally declared collateral promises with performance obligations.

    The pension plan obligations resulting from direct and indirect pension commitments are meas-ured using the projected unit credit method. This requires in particular that assumptions be made as to the long-term salary and pension trend, average life expectancy and staff fluctuation. The

    Company's plan assets and external pension institutions' assets are measured at fair value, which in turn involves estimation uncertainty.

    In our view, these matters were of particular significance during our audit, as the recognition and measurement of this item, which is of a significant amount, is to a large extent based on the esti-mates and assumptions made by the Company's executive directors.

  • During our audit we evaluated, among other things, the actuarial reports obtained and the profes-sional qualifications of the external actuaries. We also assessed, among other things, the appro-

priateness of the specific features of the actuarial calculations and the quantity structure, the ac-tuarial parameters and the valuation approach on which the valuations were based. Based on this, among other things we checked the calculation of provisions and the presentation in the balance sheet and the notes. For the audit of the fair value of the plan assets and the assets of the external pension institutions we obtained bank and fund confirmations, evaluated on a sample basis the methods on which the relevant valuations were based as well as the valuation parameters applied, and assessed the property valuation reports.

Based on our audit activities we were able to satisfy ourselves that the assessments and assump-tions made by the executive directors were substantiated and sufficiently documented.

The Company's disclosures on pension provisions are contained in Item 32 of the notes.

Other Information

The executive directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the following non-audited parts of the management report:

  • the statement on corporate governance contained in the "Governance" section of the management report pursuant to § 289f HGB and § 315d HGB

  • the non-financial statement pursuant to Article 289b paragraph 1 German Commercial Code and Ar-ticle 315b paragraph 1 German Commercial Code included in section "Non-Financial Statement" of the management report

Our audit opinions on the annual financial statements and on the management report do not cover the other information, and consequently we do not express an audit opinion or any other form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in so doing, to consider whether the other information

  • is materially inconsistent with the annual financial statements, with the management report or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or

  • otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the Executive Directors and the Supervisory Board for the Annual Financial State-ments and the Management Report

The executive directors are responsible for the preparation of the annual financial statements that comply, in all material respects, with the requirements of German commercial law, and that the annual financialstatements give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and financial performance of the Company in compliance with German Legally Required Accounting Principles. In addition, the exec-utive directors are responsible for such internal control as they, in accordance with German Legally Re-quired Accounting Principles, have determined necessary to enable the preparation of annual financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the annual financial statements, the executive directors are responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. They also have the responsibility for disclosing, as appli-cable, matters related to going concern. In addition, they are responsible for financial reporting based on the going concern basis of accounting, provided no actual or legal circumstances conflict therewith.

Furthermore, the executive directors are responsible for the preparation of the management report that as a whole provides an appropriate view of the Company's position and is, in all material respects, con-sistent with the annual financial statements, complies with German legal requirements, and appropri-ately presents the opportunities and risks of future development. In addition, the executive directors are responsible for such arrangements and measures (systems) as they have considered necessary to enable the preparation of a management report that is in accordance with the applicable German legal require-ments, and to be able to provide sufficient appropriate evidence for the assertions in the management report.

The supervisory board is responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process for the preparation of the annual financial statements and the management report.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Annual Financial Statements and of the Management Report

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the annual financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and whether the management report as a whole provides an appropriate view of the Company's position and, in all material respects, is consistent with the annual financial statements and the knowledge obtained in the audit, complies with the German legal requirements and appropriately presents the opportunities and risks of future develop-ment, as well as to issue an auditor's report that includes our audit opinions on the annual financial state-ments and on the management report.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in ac-cordance with § 317 HGB and the EU Audit Regulation and in compliance with German Generally Accepted Standards for Financial Statement Audits promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (IDW) and supplementary compliance with the ISAs will always detect a material misstatement Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could rea-sonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these annual finan-cial statements and this management report.

We exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the annual financial statements and of the management report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures re-sponsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from

fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, inten-tional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls.

  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit of the annual financial state-ments and of arrangements and measures (systems) relevant to the audit of the management report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an audit opinion on the effectiveness of these systems of the Company.

  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used by the executive directors and the rea-sonableness of estimates made by the executive directors and related disclosures.

  • Conclude on the appropriateness of the executive directors' use of the going concern basis of ac-counting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in the auditor's report to the related disclosures in the annual financial statements and in the man-agement report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our respective audit opinions. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to be able to continue as a going concern.

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the annual financial statements, in-cluding the disclosures, and whether the annual financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that the annual financial statements give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and financial performance of the Company in compli-ance with German Legally Required Accounting Principles.

  • Evaluate the consistency of the management report with the annual financial statements, its con-formity with German law, and the view of the Company's position it provides.

  • Perform audit procedures on the prospective information presented by the executive directors in the management report. On the basis of sufficient appropriate audit evidence we evaluate, in par-ticular, the significant assumptions used by the executive directors as a basis for the prospective information and evaluate the proper derivation of the prospective information from these as-sumptions. We do not express a separate audit opinion on the prospective information and on the assumptions used as a basis. There is a substantial unavoidable risk that future events will differ materially from the prospective information.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in inter-nal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with the relevant independence requirements, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, the related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the annual financial statements of the current period and aretherefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regula- tion precludes public disclosure about the matter.
