Deutsche Bank (DB) Q2 Net Income Improves Y/Y, Cost Down
Read MoreHide Full Article
Deutsche Bank (DB - Free Report) reported second-quarter 2022 net income of €1.21 billion ($1.14 billion) compared with the year-ago quarter’s €828 million. Also, the Germany-based lender reported a profit before taxes of €1.55 billion ($1.45 billion), up 33% from the year-ago quarter.
The results of the second quarter were supported by higher net revenues and lower expenses. However, declining capital position was an offsetting factor.
Revenues & Provisions Rise, Costs Decrease
The bank generated net revenues of €6.65 billion ($6.24 billion) in the second quarter, up 7% year over year. This upside primarily resulted from higher revenues in all segments except Corporate & Other.
Non-interest expenses of €4.87 billion ($4.57 billion) decreased 3% from the prior-year quarter. Adjusted costs ex-transformation charges and bank levies were up 2% to €4.7 billion ($4.41 billion).
Provision for credit losses came in at €233 million ($218.71 million) compared with the prior-year quarter’s €75 million.
Segmental Performances
Net revenues of €1.55 billion ($1.45 billion) at the Corporate Bank division were up 26% year over year. The growth was mainly driven by a stable interest rate environment, improvement in the business volume and higher fee income.
Investment Bank’s net revenues totaled €2.65 billion ($2.49 billion), up 11% year over year. This highlights growth in fixed income and currencies revenues, offset by a decline in origination and advisory revenues.
Private Bank reported net revenues of €2.16 billion ($2.02 billion), up 7% year over year. Higher revenues (excluding adjustments) from Private Bank Germany, along with the International Private Bank revenues, led to this upside.
Asset Management generated record net revenues of €656 million ($615.8 million), up 5% year over year, mainly aided by increased management fees.
Corporate & Other reported negative net revenues of €370 million ($347.3 million) compared with the negative net revenues of €6 million ($5.6 million ) reported in the prior-year period.
Capital Release reported net revenues of €7 million ($6.5 million) against negative net revenues of €24 million ($22.5 million) recorded in the year-ago quarter.
Capital Position Deteriorates
Deutsche Bank’s Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio came in at 13% as of Jun 30, 2022, down from the year-ago quarter’s 13.2%. Leverage ratio on a fully-loaded basis was 4.3%, down from 4.7% in the year-ago quarter.
Risk-weighted assets were stable at €25 billion ($23.92 billion).
Our Viewpoint
Deutsche Bank’s overall financial performance seems encouraging. Also, the segmental performance of the bank significantly improved over the prior-year quarter except in the Corporate and Capital Release segment.
