Despite losses of $300 mln on Greek bonds, mainly in he PCAM division, the bank overturned last years loss into a low ball but a clean profit. The bank can also claim to have fully hedged its credit with a DVA of EUR 170mln or $220 mln compared to profits of $2 bln on average posted by the Big 4 and other large banks in the USA
The losses on the Greek debt have been booked at a markdown to 46% allowing a little more loss as and when the settlement is made this month. The bank had reported a stronger Q2 and even stronger Q1 with Q2 revenues of EUR 4.8 bln ($6.3bln) in CIB and incl pat Post Bank EUR 3.5 bln ($4.6bln) in PCAM and a Pre Tax Profit of almost EUR 1.9 bln led by EUR 1.2 bln of $1.6 bln from CIB business
The Q3 profits also came in despite a German VAT claim of almost half a billion dollars, deepening its internal crisis in CIB as CIB profits fell to EUR 329 mln from EUR 1.1 bln in the year ago quarter. Postbank contributed to profits on the PCAM side with Non Interest Expenses of EUR 755 mln netting against its EUR 1 bln revenues and helped shore up the profit and revenues.
Deutsche Bank has improved its core Tier I capital to above 10% in Q2 itself while improving “stable funding” to 55% of its entire $1.6 tln in liabilities this quarter . Its nine months EBIT for the bank is EUR 5 bln compared to a Eur 10 bln target for 2011 which it backed out at the height of Greek negotiations. The bank remains most affected by the upcoming Basel 2.5 and Basel 3 restrictions incl a EUR 9 bln infusion required to take Tier I common to 9% if required. Market Capitalisation has fallen below $40 bln from $60 bln last year
The bank added EUR 1 bln to revenues from Postbank to post revenues of EUR 7.3 bln despite a 29% fall in trading revenue to EUR 3.5 bln ($4.55 bln).
outside the sphere of HSBC, JP Morgan or Goldman Sachs but its core constituency in Europe continues in a decline
