In Q2 2025, the bank reported a 14.1% decline in net profit to €462 million, but operating profit increased by 34% to €1.17 billion, and total revenues rose 13.2% to €3.02 billion. The bank's net interest income slightly fell by 0.8%, but strong growth in net commission income drove the overall revenue increase.
For the first half of 2025, Commerzbank's net profit increased slightly by 1% to €1.3 billion, despite €534 million in restructuring costs. Operating profit rose 23% to a record €2.4 billion, and the bank improved its cost-income ratio to 56%. These results led Commerzbank to raise its full-year 2025 net profit target from €2.4 billion to around €2.5 billion, with an expected net interest income of about €8 billion, up from €7.8 billion previously forecasted.
The bank's strategic momentum under the "Momentum" strategy is evident, with a 26% year-on-year rise in net income, a cost-income ratio improvement to 55%, and a strong Net Return on Tangible Equity (11.1%). Digital tools like the virtual assistant Ava and expansion via mBank in Poland have contributed significantly to growth. The CET1 capital ratio stands strong at 14.6%, supporting a €1 billion share buyback and a full capital return strategy. Analysts expect earnings per share of €2.54 for 2025 and €2.99 for 2026.
In the 2025 European Banking Authority (EBA) stress test, Commerzbank demonstrated high resilience, with a fully loaded CET1 ratio under the adverse scenario at 9.6% in 2027, slightly improved compared to the 9.5% in 2023. This performance confirms financial stability even under severe macroeconomic stress.
