Commerzbank Aktiengesellschaft (CZB) Additional provisions for CHF loan portfolio at mBank of EUR342m - Commerzbank still aiming for a net profit in 2023 well above that of 2022 23-Jun-2023 / 17:52 CET/CEST The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. =---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- mBank in Poland expects to additionally provision PLN 1,513 million (appr. EUR342 million) for its CHF loan portfolio in Q2. Commerzbank's second quarter operating result will be burdened by a corresponding amount which will be booked as negative revenues in "Other net income". The additional provision results from an adjustment of the provisioning models mainly as consequence of a ruling of the Court of Justice of the European Union (ECJ) regarding foreign currency loans of an mBank competitor. Despite this burden, Commerzbank still aims for a net result in 2023 well above that of 2022. The outlook depends on the further development of mBank's Swiss franc mortgages and is based on the assumption of a mild recession in Germany.
