Yahoo Finance Deutsche Bank (DB) Offers Updates on Segmental Q2 Performance
At an investor conference late last week in New York, Deutsche Bank’s DB chief financial officer, James von Moltke, provided segment performance updates for the second quarter of 2024. The company also stated that it is on track to achieve revenue and expense targets for this year and 2025.
DB expects overall Investment Bank (IB) segment revenues to rise year over year in the second quarter of 2024, given the substantial growth in Origination & Advisory revenues. The growth in Origination & Advisory fees is likely to be driven by solid debt origination volume and encouraging advisory business performance.
In the first quarter of 2024, Origination & Advisory revenues jumped 54% from last year's quarter to €503 million. This was the highest level for nine quarters, largely driven by a surge in debt origination revenues (up 67%).
On the other hand, Moltke noted that Fixed Income and Currencies (FIC) revenues are anticipated to be “slightly lower in the second quarter versus the prior year's quarter." In the first quarter of 2024, FIC revenues grew 7% year over year to €2.5 billion. The increase was driven by steady investments in the business, which led to market share gains.
Further, the Corporate Bank segment will likely continue to see steady growth in non-interest income in the ongoing quarter on the back of investments being done, while net interest income is expected to be resilient. Thus, overall, the segment revenues are likely to be stable on a sequential basis.
Additionally, the Private Bank segment is expected to witness a modest decline in the top line for the current quarter sequentially because of seasonality.
Driven by solid trends, Deutsche Bank remains on track to reach its revenue targets of €30 billion and €32 billion in 2024 and 2025, respectively.
The company is also focused on reaching its “cost trajectory, around € 5 billion in the second quarter.” In the first quarter of 2024, non-interest expenses declined 3% year over year to €5.3 billion. Notably, the largest German bank also affirmed its adjusted expense guidance of around €20 billion for this year and 2025.
Further, Deutsche Bank has recognized €1.3 billion related to the Postbank litigation issue in Corporate & Other in the second quarter.
Over the past six months, the stock has gained 33.5%, outperforming the industry’s 13.6% growth.
