Pre-announcement from Commerzbank regarding Q3 2009 reporting:
Commerzbank's operating result in Q3 2009 is positive at approximately EUR
120 m. The result of the Portfolio Restructuring Unit profited from
impairment gains. A review of goodwill led to write-downs of approximately
EUR 650 m.
The goodwill impairments largely result from the previously announced
strategic reorientation of Eurohypo and the subsequent changes in revenue
expectations. They became necessary with the new segment structure.
In Q3 the goodwill impairments and the planned restructuring expenses for
the Dresdner Bank integration (EUR 0.9 bn) led to a net profit of minus EUR
1.05 bn.
The core capital ratio (Tier 1) as of 30.9.2009 is just under 11%.
There are no changes to the targets of the 'Roadmap 2012'.
For the 2009 business year for both Commerzbank AG und Group a negative
annual result (net loss) is expected. In case of a net loss at the AG, the
liquidation of reserves or special reserves (Sonderposten according to §
340g German Commercial Code) for the granting of profit-related payments on
equity related instruments is not permitted further to EU regulations and
further to the agreements with the SoFFin. In this case profit-related
equity instruments may not be serviced.
For the Profit Participation Certificates of Commerzbank AG, predominantly
held by retail investors, this means that no coupon payment can be expected
for the year 2009. Insofar as necessary and legally permitted, Commerzbank
will liquidate reserves and special reserves (Sonderposten according to §
340g German Commercial Code) for the fiscal year 2009 in order to prevent a
reduction in the book value of its equity related instruments.
The following Profit Participation Certificates of Commerzbank AG are
traded and listed on a regulated market:
