Deutsche Bank states it applies hedge accounting under the EU carve-out to limit accounting exposure to both rises and falls in interest rates across tenor buckets, which it says reduces volatility of reported Treasury revenue. The bank's financial targets and capital objectives are based on results prepared under EU IFRS, and Exhibit 99.1 presents EU IFRS financial information.

For U.S. reporting, Deutsche Bank also prepares certain reports under IASB IFRS, which does not permit the EU carve-out; the impact of that difference is described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements of the 2024 Form 20-F. This Form 6-K incorporates by reference Registration Statement No. 333-278331 and includes Exhibit 99.1 (EU IFRS key updates for 3Q 2025) and Exhibit 99.2 (English translation of Articles of Association).

Gli obiettivi finanziari e le finalità di capitale della banca si basano sui risultati redatti secondo l'IFRS dell'UE, e l'Esibizione 99.1 presenta informazioni finanziarie secondo l'IFRS UE. Per la rendicontazione statunitense, Deutsche Bank prepara anche alcuni report secondo l'IFRS dell'IASB, che non consente l'eccezione UE; l'impatto di tale differenza è descritto nella Nota 1 ai rendiconti finanziari consolidati del Form 20-F 2024.

德意志银行表示在欧盟豁免框架下应用对冲会计,以限制在不同期限段内利率波动带来的会计暴露,从而据称降低报表的国债收入波动。该行的财务目标和资本目标基于依据欧盟 IFRS 编制的结果,附件 99.1 提供了基于欧盟 IFRS 的财务信息。为了美国报告,德意志银行也按 IASB IFRS 编制某些报告,而 IASB IFRS 不允许欧盟豁免;这种差异的影响在 2024 年 Form 20-F 的合并财务报表注释 1 中有说明。此 Form 6-K 通过引用 Registration Statement No. 333-278331,并包含 Exhibit 99.1(2025 年第3季度欧盟 IFRS 关键更新)和 Exhibit 99.2(公司章程的英文翻译)。
Positive
  • Use of hedge accounting under the EU carve-out to reduce reported Treasury revenue volatility
  • Clear disclosure that financial targets and capital objectives are based on EU IFRS and provision of Exhibit 99.1
Negative
  • IASB IFRS does not permit the EU carve-out, creating a difference in U.S. reporting that may affect comparability (impact described in Form 20-F Note 1)

Insights

TL;DR: Deutsche Bank uses the EU carve-out to smooth Treasury revenue volatility; U.S. filings use IASB IFRS without the carve-out.

The filing clarifies accounting basis differences: internal targets rely on EU IFRS with the carve-out, while U.S. reports use IASB IFRS that disallows it. This distinction affects the presentation of interest rate hedge results but the document provides no quantitative effect. Investors must consult the referenced Note 1 in the 2024 Form 20-F for the detailed impact.

TL;DR: The company discloses accounting-policy divergence clearly and files supporting exhibits for transparency.

The report documents governance around financial reporting by noting which accounting framework underpins targets and public disclosures and by providing exhibits for readers. The inclusion of an English translation of the Articles of Association supports corporate record transparency. The filing itself is descriptive and routine.

Explanatory note
Key updates communicated during 3Q 2025
On September 30, 2025, Deutsche Bank published the attached Exhibit 99.1, which describes key updates communicated
during 3Q 2025.
Deutsche Bank generally publishes its financial results prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS) as endorsed by the European Union, including application of portfolio fair value hedge accounting for non-
maturing deposits and fixed rate mortgages with pre-payment options (“EU IFRS”, using the “EU carve-out”). Fair value
hedge accounting under the EU carve-out is employed to minimize the accounting exposure to both positive and negative
moves in interest rates in each tenor bucket thereby reducing the volatility of reported revenue from Treasury activities. In
addition, Deutsche Bank’s financial targets and capital objectives are based on its financial results prepared in accordance
with EU IFRS. Exhibit 99.1 hereto presents financial information using EU IFRS.
For U.S. reporting purposes, Deutsche Bank also prepare versions of certain of its financial reports in accordance with IFRS
as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), which does not permit use of the EU carve-out (“IASB
IFRS”), but which is otherwise the same as EU IFRS. For example, Deutsche Bank’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 20-F has
been prepared using IASB IFRS, and the impact of the EU carve-out is described in Note 1, “Material accounting policies
and critical accounting estimates – Basis of accounting – EU carve-out” to the consolidated financial statements contained
therein.
This Report on Form 6-K and the exhibits hereto are hereby incorporated by reference into Registration Statement No.
333-278331 of Deutsche Bank AG.
Exhibits
Exhibit 99.1: Key updates communicated during 3Q 2025, September 30, 2025 (EU IFRS).
Exhibit 99.2: English translation of Articles of Association of Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft in conformity with the
resolution of the General Meeting on May 22, 2025.
Forward-looking statements contain risks
This report contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts;
they include statements about Deutsche Bank’s beliefs and expectations. Any statement in this report that states Deutsche
Bank’s intentions, beliefs, expectations or predictions (and the assumptions underlying them) is a forward-looking statement.
These statements are based on plans, estimates and projections as they are currently available to the management of
Deutsche Bank. Forward-looking statements therefore speak only as of the date they are made, and Deutsche Bank
undertakes no obligation to update publicly any of them in light of new information or future events.
By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. A number of important factors could
therefore cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Such factors
include the conditions in the financial markets in Germany, in Europe, in the United States and elsewhere from which
Deutsche Bank derives a substantial portion of its trading revenues, potential defaults of borrowers or trading counterparties,
the implementation of its strategic initiatives, the reliability of its risk management policies, procedures and methods, and
other risks referenced in its filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Such factors are described in detail
in Deutsche Bank’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on March 13, 2025, under the heading “Risk
Factors.” Copies of this document are readily available upon request or can be downloaded from www.deutsche-bank.com/

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This document and other documents Deutsche Bank has published or may publish contain non-GAAP financial measures.
Non-GAAP financial measures are measures of its historical or future performance, financial position or cash flows that
contain adjustments that exclude or include amounts that are included or excluded, as the case may be, from the most
directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS in its financial statements. Examples of its
non-GAAP financial measures, and the most directly comparable IFRS financial measures, are as follows:
Non-GAAP Financial Measure
Most Directly Comparable IFRS Financial
Measure
Profit (loss) before tax excluding Postbank takeover
litigation provision
Profit (loss) before tax
Profit (loss) attributable to Deutsche Bank shareholders

AT1 coupon)
Post-tax return on average shareholders’ equity
Tangible book value per basic share outstanding, Book
value per basic share outstanding
Book value per share outstanding
For descriptions of these non-GAAP financial measures and the adjustments made to the most directly comparable financial
measures under IFRS, please refer to (i) the section “Non-GAAP financial measures” of Exhibit 99.1 to Deutsche Bank’s
Report on Form 6-K dated July 24, 2025 and (ii) the section “Supplementary Information (Unaudited): Non-GAAP Financial
Measures” on pages 422 to 428 of Deutsche Bank’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 20-F.
When used with respect to future periods, non-GAAP financial measures used by Deutsche Bank are also forward-looking
statements. Deutsche Bank cannot predict or quantify the levels of the most directly comparable financial measures under
IFRS that would correspond to these measures for future periods. This is because neither the magnitude of such IFRS
financial measures, nor the magnitude of the adjustments to be used to calculate the related non-GAAP financial measures
from such IFRS financial measures, can be predicted. Such adjustments, if any, will relate to specific, currently unknown,
events and in most cases can be positive or negative, so that it is not possible to predict whether, for a future period, the
non-GAAP financial measure will be greater than or less than the related IFRS financial measure.
