Earnings per Common Share
Basic earnings per common share amounts are computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to Deutsche
Bank shareholders by the average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The average number
of common shares outstanding is defined as the average number of common shares issued, reduced by the
average number of shares in treasury and by the average number of shares that will be acquired under
physically-settled forward purchase contracts, and increased by undistributed vested shares awarded under
deferred share plans.
Diluted earnings per share assumes the conversion into common shares of outstanding securities or other
contracts to issue common stock, such as share options, convertible debt, unvested deferred share awards
and forward contracts. The aforementioned instruments are only included in the calculation of diluted earnings
per share if they are dilutive in the respective reporting period.
