Profit falls and cost target scrapped

Deutsche Bank, Germany’s largest lender, reported weaker-than-expected profits in the last quarter of 2024, with legal provisions impacting the bottom line. The bank’s net profit attributable to shareholders was 106 million euros in the fourth quarter, falling short of the forecasted 282.39 million euros. Full-year net profit also decreased by 36% from the previous year.

Revenue for the fourth quarter was 7.224 million euros, slightly higher than analysts’ predictions, but was affected by litigation costs totaling 594 million euros. Despite the challenges, the bank saw a 4% increase in full-year revenue to 30.1 billion euros. CFO James von Moltke acknowledged the high level of non-operating costs in 2024, mainly stemming from past issues like the PostBank takeover litigation.

Looking ahead, Deutsche Bank aims to achieve a cost-income ratio of below 65% this year and has launched a 750 million-euro share buyback program. The bank also reported a profit before tax of 583 million euros in the fourth quarter, with a provision for credit losses of 420 million euros. The CET 1 capital ratio remained stable at 13.8%.

Despite the profit decline, the bank’s investment banking division performed well, with revenues increasing by 30% year-on-year in the fourth quarter. Deutsche Bank has been focusing on fee-based income and investment banking growth as key drivers of its financial performance.

In light of the challenging economic environment in Europe, Deutsche Bank is cautiously optimistic about the future. The bank is closely monitoring political and economic developments, including the upcoming general elections in Germany and the potential impact on the banking sector. Additionally, uncertainty surrounding the fate of Commerzbank, Germany’s second-largest lender, could present opportunities for Deutsche Bank in the future.

Overall, Deutsche Bank’s financial results reflect a mix of challenges and opportunities in the banking industry. The bank is committed to improving its cost-efficiency and exploring growth prospects in investment banking to drive future profitability.
