Jürgen Fitschen and Anshu Jain, Co-Chief Executive Officers, said: '2013
was the second successive year in which we have invested in the bank's
future growth and in further strengthening our controls while addressing
legacy issues. These factors impacted our financial results. Nonetheless,
underlying core business profitability was amongst the highest of the past
decade, and we have made Deutsche Bank fitter, safer and better balanced.
We expect 2014 to be a year of further challenges and disciplined
implementation; however, we are confident of reaching our 2015 targets and
delivering on our strategic vision for Deutsche Bank.'
