Outlook

We are planning an aggregate gross risk-weighted asset (total RWA)
reduction of EUR 16 billion in selected markets by the end of 2017 (total
RWA as at 31 December 2014: EUR 68.7 billion). We intend to partly offset
the reduction with growth in other business areas.

After the implementation of the new strategic measures, the cost base
should be 20 per cent below the level of 2014 (at constant prices and
foreign exchange rates; general administrative expenses 2014: EUR 3,024
million). We target a cost/income ratio of between 50 and 55 per cent in
the medium term.

We aim for a return on equity before tax of approximately 14 per cent and a
consolidated return on equity of approximately 11 per cent in the medium
term. The full year 2015 consolidated result may be negative as the
majority of the restructuring costs (around EUR 550 million in total) are
expected to be booked in 2015.

We expect net provisioning for impairment losses to remain elevated in
2015; however, we anticipate that the requirement will be below the level
of the previous year (2014: EUR 1,716 million).

We target a CET1 ratio (fully loaded) of 12 per cent and a total capital
ratio (fully loaded) of 16 per cent by the end of 2017.
