Key updates communicated during 1Q 2025

On March 31, 2025, Deutsche Bank also published the attached Exhibit 99.4, which describes key updates communicated during 1Q 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 99.4 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 Exhibit 99.4 hereto are hereby incorporated by reference into Registration Statement No. 333-278331 of Deutsche Bank AG. Exhibits 99.1, 99.2 and 99.3 are not incorporated by reference into registration statements filed by Deutsche Bank AG under the Securities Act of 1933.
