Deutsche Bank Continues on Positive Trajectory in Q1 2021

Deutsche Bank (DB or the Bank) reported a EUR 908 million profit attributable to shareholders for Q1 2021 compared to a loss of EUR 43 million in Q1 2020. This translates into a 6.6% ROE, representing the highest quarterly profit since 2014, owed largely to a significant revenue increase in the Investment Banking division, strong Asset Management results, and materially lower credit provisions. Q1 2021 Group net revenues increased by 13.9% Year-on Year (YoY) to EUR 7.2 billion and core revenues, excluding the Capital Release Unit (CRU) and specific items, increased by 12% despite a 14% YoY decrease of net interest income. The Bank reported a 330 basis point buffer over regulatory Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) minimum requirements.
