       on expanding business in asset and wealth management – Corporate
       Clients segment primarily focussing on stronger client penetration and
       capital efficiency

     • In 2025 net result target of €2.4 bn after and €2.8 bn before
       restructuring charges for transformation
     • Cost-income ratio expected to improve to around 50% in 2028
     • Net result target of €4.2 bn and return on tangible equity target of
       15% for 2028

   Attractive capital return until 2028:

     • For 2025 planned payout ratio of 100% of net result after deduction of
       AT 1 coupons and before restructuring charges for transformation
     • For 2026 to 2028, payout ratio of 100% of net result after deduction
       of AT 1 coupons planned – subject to successful strategy
       implementation and macroeconomic environment

   Commerzbank continued to develop dynamically in the financial year 2024
   and exceeded its ambitious targets, which were raised during the year. Net
   result increased to around €2.7 bn, which is higher than the recently
   targeted €2.4 bn. This means that the Bank increased its result by around
   20% compared to the previous year. At the same time, it achieved its
   highest profit ever. Its revenues were the main driver: thanks to strong
   customer business, revenues rose by around 6% to €11.1 bn compared to the
   previous year and also exceeded the target set in autumn 2024. Despite
   inflation and slightly higher costs related to investments, the
   cost-income ratio improved to 59%, placing it below the original target of
   60%. The return on tangible equity increased to 9.2%, significantly
   exceeding the target of at least 8%. The Bank has created a strong
   starting point with a series of excellent results in recent years.
   Commerzbank is now using this momentum to accelerate its profitable growth
   and to continue to advance the transformation by executing its upgraded
   strategy for the coming years.

   Commerzbank’s CEO Bettina Orlopp said: “We have delivered again. With yet
   another record result, we have shown that we are creating substantial
   added value for our shareholders, customers, and employees. We have
   significantly increased our profitability, expanded our fee business as
   previously announced, continued to improve our cost-income ratio, and are
   an even more attractive employer. This provides us with a strong basis for
   the years to come.”

   Successful business development in 2024 creates a strong starting point
   for upgraded strategy

   In the financial year 2024, revenues increased to €11,106 m (2023:
   €10,461 m). The growth was driven by the strong fee business. Net
   commission income increased by 7% to €3,638 m (2023: €3,386 m) thanks to
   the dynamic securities business and positive development in asset
   management. It exceeded the growth target, which was raised to more than
   5% in September. Net interest income remained at a high level at €8,331 m
   (2023: €8,368 m). The ongoing growth in deposits and adjustments in the
   replication portfolio for the long-term stabilisation of net interest
   income compensated for the impact of interest rate cuts by the European
   Central Bank (ECB).

   Total costs for the 2024 financial year were slightly higher at €6,526 m
   (2023: €6,422 m), primarily caused by increased administrative expenses,
   which rose to €6,244 m (2023: €6,006 m). This was mainly due to
   investments in the growth of mBank and higher personnel expenses. The
   consolidation of Aquila Capital effective since June had an impact,
   alongside salary increases. The Bank was able to partly compensate for
   these through active cost management and cost savings. Compulsory
   contributions decreased to €283 m for the full year (2023: €415 m), mainly
   because the European bank levy was significantly lower, as the Single
   Resolution Fund’s target volume was achieved. The cost-income ratio
   improved to 59% (2023: 61%).

   The risk result for the financial year 2024 totalled minus €743 m (2023:
   minus €618 m), mainly driven by single cases. The loan book continued to
   prove its overall resilience in a challenging macroeconomic environment.
   At the end of the year, the non-performing exposure (NPE) ratio was 1.1%
   (Q3 2024: 0.9%; Q4 2023: 0.8%). The top-level adjustment (TLA) was reduced
   by €14 m due to reassessment in the fourth quarter. Therefore, the Bank
   continues to have €228 m (Q3 2024: €242 m; Q4 2023: €453 m) mainly
   available to cover expected secondary effects from geopolitical crises and
   uncertainties from inflation.

   The Bank’s operating result increased by 12% to €3,837 m (2023: €3,421 m)
   in the financial year 2024. Net result after taxes and minority interests
   also rose significantly compared to the previous year: it increased by 20%
   to €2,667 m (2023: €2,224 m).

   The CET 1 ratio rose to a comfortable 15.1% as of 31 December 2024, which
   underpins the Bank’s very high potential for returning capital to its
   shareholders (Q3 2024: 14.8%; Q4 2023: 14.7%). The current buffer to the
   regulatory minimum requirement (MDA threshold) of around 10.3% is
   therefore 485 basis points. The return on tangible equity (RoTE) continued
   to significantly improve, reaching 9.2% in the financial year 2024 (2023:
   7.7%). This means that the Bank clearly exceeded its aims to achieve a
   return on tangible equity of at least 8% for the full year.

   Based on its strong results, Commerzbank will give back a total of around
   €1.73 bn – 71% of its net result after deduction of AT 1 coupons – to its
   shareholders for the financial year 2024. Part of the capital return is
   the Bank’s third share buyback programme. In January this year, the Bank
   concluded the buyback of the first tranche, which it began in 2024, with a
   volume of around €600 m. The ECB and the German Finance Agency have
   already approved a second tranche of up to €400 m. The share buyback will
   start after the reporting for the 2024 financial year and is expected to
   be completed by the Annual General Meeting at the latest. Furthermore, the
   Board of Managing Directors and the Supervisory Board intend to propose a
   dividend of 65 cents per share (previous year: 35 cents per share) at the
   Annual General Meeting on 15 May 2025. The Bank will return around €3.1 bn
   to its shareholders in total for the years 2022 to 2024, which is more
   than originally announced.

   Designated CFO, Carsten Schmitt, explained: “Commerzbank has what it takes
   to increase returns for shareholders in the years to come. Continually
   raising revenues, strict cost discipline, and a dynamic capital return
   provide the foundation for reliably increasing the Bank’s profitability.”

   Segment development: loan volumes continue to rise in Corporate Clients
   segment

   The Corporate Clients segment increased its revenues in the financial year
   2024 by a total of 5% across all client groups to €4,724 m (2023:
   €4,486 m). Net commission income climbed by around 7% to €1,379 m (2023:
   €1,284 m). The main drivers were increased business activity in loan
   syndications and bond issuance. Growth in foreign trade and the financing
   of green infrastructure projects for renewable energies (CoC GIF) also had
   a positive impact. However, as expected, net interest income was slightly
   lower at €2,670 m (2023: €2,782 m) due to the downward trend of interest
   rates on deposits. Despite the challenging economic environment in the
   final quarter, loan volume growth continued: the loan volume rose by a
   further €4 bn compared to the third quarter to a total of €104 bn at the
   end of the year (Q4 2023: €95 bn). The increase is largely attributed to
   investment loans for the green transformation, the public sector and
   institutional clients. At €2,060 m, operating result was slightly below
   the previous year (2023: €2,147 m).

   Significantly improved result in Private and Small-Business Customers
   segment

   The Private and Small-Business Customers segment in Germany generated
   revenues of €4,440 m in the financial year 2024, a 7% increase compared to
   the previous year (2023: €4,134 m). Thanks to higher contribution from the
   deposit business, net interest income climbed by around 8% to €2,384 m
   (2023: €2,208 m) despite interest rate cuts by the ECB. Net commission
   income rose by 7% to €1,964 m (2023: €1,833 m), with strong performance in
   the securities business, supported by the positive market development and
   strategic initiatives in asset management, contributing significantly to
   the growth. Additionally, the segment saw strong growth in savings plans.
   The segment’s operating result for the full year improved by 56% to
   €1,362 m (2023: €873 m).

   In 2024, the securities volume rose significantly to €243 bn as per the
   end of December (Q4 2023: €215 bn), as a result of the strong market
   development. Loan volume averaged €125 bn in the final quarter, which is
   equal to the level of the previous quarter (Q4 2023: €125 bn); the average
   mortgage volume for the fourth quarter was €96 bn (Q4 2023: €95 bn). The
   Bank also gained customer deposits in the past financial year; the average
   deposit volume rose to €173 bn in the fourth quarter compared to the same
   quarter of the previous year (Q4 2023: €156 bn).

   The Polish subsidiary mBank continued its strong growth in customer
   business in 2024. It increased its revenues by 38% to €1,702 m (2023:
   €1,235 m). Net commission income increased by 11% to €348 m (2023: €313 m)
   and net interest income rose by 9% to €2,382 m (2023: €2,176 m). This
   allowed mBank to compensate for provisions for legal risks for foreign
   currency loans (FX) totalling €1,002 m (2023: €1,094 m). mBank contributed
   €599 m to the Group’s operating result in the 2024 financial year, more
   than four times as much as in the previous year (2023: €146 m). Without
   the impact of provisions for legal risks associated with foreign currency
   loans and “credit holidays”, it would have contributed an even higher
   amount of €1,636 m in 2024 (2023: €1,228 m).

   “We have built a strong foundation and can now leverage market
   opportunities and technological advancements. With this momentum, we are
   accelerating our profitable growth and consistently driving forward our
   transformation,” said CEO Bettina Orlopp. “This makes Commerzbank stronger
   and better.”

   Strategy “Momentum”: significant increase in financial targets until 2028

   With its upgraded strategy “Momentum”, Commerzbank has set significantly
   more ambitious targets than before. The RoTE is expected to improve to 15%
   by 2028. This means that the Bank will earn significantly more than its
   cost of capital and be a well-established player amongst the successful
   banks in Europe. It is aiming to increase its net result to €4.2 bn by
   2028. With only a moderate rise in costs, revenues are expected to
   increase significantly: The Bank anticipates a compound annual growth rate
   (CAGR) of 4% excluding provisions for legal risks for FX loans at mBank to
   €14.2 bn by 2028. The main driver will be net commission income, while a
   moderate increase in net interest income is expected despite ongoing
   interest rate cuts. The Bank plans to continue to significantly improve
   its cost-income ratio to around 50% – an internationally competitive
   level.

   Commerzbank’s revised financial targets, which were published in September
   2024, initially extended until the year 2027. These targets are now
   anticipated to be partially exceeded as early as 2027 on the way to
   reaching the more ambitious targets by the end of 2028. The Bank aimed for
   a net result target of €3.6 bn in 2027. Based on its “Momentum” strategy,
   the Bank now forecasts a net result of €3.8 bn for 2027. Revenues are
   projected to rise to €13.6 bn instead of the previously expected €13.3 bn,
   and the Bank is targeting a return on equity of 13.6% rather than the
   previous target of 12.3%. In September 2024, the Bank’s cost-income ratio
   target was 54%. Its new target for 2027 is 53%.

   Commerzbank focusses on growth potential and strengthens its digital
   distribution channels

   To achieve the targets of its upgraded strategy by 2028 and to accelerate
   its profitable growth, Commerzbank will continue to leverage further
   potential from its business model over the coming years. In doing so, the
   Bank will focus on its acknowledged strengths in the business with private
   and small-business customers, including its asset and wealth management,
   which is expected to continue to grow following recent acquisitions, the
   further expansion of its market leadership position in the Mittelstand,
   and the growth of mBank. In all business segments, the Bank will, in
   addition, consistently advance its offering of digital processes,
   solutions, and product offerings, including through the expansion of sales
   partnerships.

   In the Private and Small-Business Customers segment, the Bank will sharpen
   its two-brand strategy with stronger price and product differentiation.
   The Commerzbank brand will continue to stand for access to a branch
   network with a comprehensive range of services and personal advice, in
   addition to extensive digital offerings. Under the brand comdirect, the
   Bank offers all core services as a digital primary bank and, as a
   performance broker, solutions for saving, investing, and securities
   trading.

   Furthermore, the Bank aims to expand its new loan volume with private and
   small-business customers. It will also modernise its payment business and
   further strengthen its omnichannel approach. Already today, more than 90%
   of customer contacts are digital. More than 50% of product sales in the
   Commerzbank brand are concluded digitally. In addition to the various
   online and mobile offerings as well as the established remote advisory
   centre, branches remain an important sales channel that will be
   structurally strengthened by an adjusted advisory model. Customer areas
   and sales structures will be reorganised to free up more time for
   qualified customer advisory services at the locations. The model will be
   implemented in the fourth quarter of 2025. In this context, the Bank will
   also strengthen personal advice in Private Banking and Wealth Management.

   In the Corporate Clients segment, Commerzbank will focus on an even
   stronger penetration of its clients in the Mittelstand and large client
   groups. To this end, the Mittelstandsbank Direkt team will be staffed up
   to ensure more active client support. Moreover, Commerzbank is
   strengthening its financing solutions offerings, particularly for large
   corporate clients, and supports Mittelstand businesses in the area of
   succession financing. Both advisory and financing also play an important
   role regarding strategic sustainability topics such as decarbonisation and
   the establishment of reporting around the dimensions of environment,
   social, and governance (ESG).

   The Corporate Clients segment will also focus on international growth and
   strengthen its business with German clients in the USA and Asia. The Bank
   also plans to intensify business relationships with North American and
   Asian companies in selected sectors. Additional revenue potential will be
   gained through the acquisition of new corporate clients with increased RWA
   (risk-weighted assets) efficiency. On the product side, the range of
   services for foreign exchange, interest rate, and commodity products, and
   transaction banking, especially for payment transactions and foreign trade
   business, will be specifically strengthened. Commerzbank will also
   significantly increase its capital efficiency and utilise securitisation
   to free up even more capital.

   Measures to accelerate organic growth will be complemented with targeted
   acquisitions. Alongside this, Commerzbank aims to pursue further strategic
   partnerships, especially with a focus on developing innovative products,
   distribution channels, and IT services. Visa will become strategic partner
   of Commerzbank for payment cards. The two companies agreed on a long-term
   partnership. It supports Commerzbank’s strategic direction in payments and
   ensures the Bank’s access to future payment innovations. Commerzbank
   customers will preferentially receive debit and credit cards from Visa in
   the future.

   Extensive investments in digitalisation and artificial intelligence
   increase efficiency

   In addition to accelerating profitable growth, the consistent continuation
   of its own transformation is at the core of the Bank’s upgraded strategy.
   These measures aim to reduce the complexity of processes and make
   Commerzbank on the whole even leaner and more efficient.

   The Bank will further increase its productivity, particularly by
   modernising and efficiently utilising technologies. This includes
   accelerating digitalisation activities, for example, by using modern
   technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI). It will also invest in
   consistently modernising and streamlining its IT infrastructure.

   As part of this, the Bank has already signed strategic partnerships with
   Google Cloud and Microsoft. The target is to significantly accelerate the
   transformation of the digital landscape by collaborating closely in the AI
   and Cloud space and by bringing skills and resources together.

   For a competitive cost base, the Bank will also focus on scaling shoring
   and sourcing activities within the group and reducing its dependency on
   external service providers. The Bank will utilise international locations
   as well as nearshore and offshore subsidiaries to a greater extent than
   before, which should increase access to skilled specialists.

   The efficiency gains from digitalisation, as well as the increased use of
   international locations, will be accompanied by further job reductions. In
   total, around 3,900 full-time equivalent (FTE) positions are expected to
   be cut by 2028. With approximately 3,300 FTEs this affects mainly central
   staff functions and Operations in Germany. At the same time, there will be
   an increase in staffing in selected areas, such as the international
   locations and at mBank. Ultimately, the number of employees in the
   Commerzbank Group is expected to remain constant at 36,700 FTEs worldwide.

   To make the transformation process socially acceptable, Commerzbank will
   rely primarily on demographic change and natural fluctuations. For
   instance, the Bank will be offering an early partial retirement programme
   this year. The Bank has already agreed on these key principles in a joint
   transformation agreement with the employee unions. The Bank estimates
   restructuring charges of around €700 m before tax effects in 2025. The
   specific design of personnel measures will be subject of upcoming
   negotiations with employee unions.

   Commerzbank will continue to ensure its attractiveness as an employer and
   to further raise the motivation and performance of its employees through
   extensive measures. For instance, the Bank is focussing on a modern,
   flexible workplace concept for its employees. Another planned measure is
   the introduction of an employee share programme to increasingly involve
   its employees in the Bank’s future success.

   Outlook for 2025: Higher net result targeted again thanks to “Momentum”

   In 2025, Commerzbank will make significant progress towards achieving its
   financial targets by the end of 2028. The Bank aims for a net result of
   €2.8 bn before restructuring charges for the transformation of the Bank,
   while expecting a net result of €2.4 bn after restructuring charges. The
   outlook remains subject to the future development of burdens from Russia
   and FX loans at mBank. The Bank expects a net interest income between
   €7.7 bn and €7.9 bn, depending on the interest rate development and the
   related fair value movement between €0.4 bn and €0.3 bn, leading to a
   combined contribution of €8.1 to €8.2 bn. Net commission income is planned
   to increase by around 7%. The Bank is targeting a cost-income ratio of
   57%. The risk result is expected around minus €850 m for the full year
   assuming usage of TLA. Commerzbank expects its CET 1 ratio to be at least
   14% after the planned capital return and restructuring charges.

   Capital return until 2028: payout ratio of 100% targeted

   As the CET 1 ratio increased to 15.1% at the end of 2024 and anticipating
   significantly increasing results, there is an even higher potential for
   capital return in the coming years than previously forecast. For 2025, the
   Bank plans a payout ratio of more than 100% of its net result after
   restructuring charges and deduction of AT 1 coupon payments. Before
   restructuring charges, the payout ratio amounts to 100% of the net result
   after deduction of AT 1 coupon payments. In the years 2026 to 2028, it
   aims for a payout ratio of 100% after deduction of AT 1 coupon payments –
   subject to the successful implementation of the strategy and the
   macroeconomic environment. As a result, the CET 1 ratio up to 2028 will
   approach the target level of 13.5%.
