4 Earnings Guidance Global l GDP decline 2009E by 1.5% for 2009E means earnings should decline by 30-40% Global GDP outlook 2009E suggests earnings to decline by 30-40% whereas bottom up estimates are showing only a small decline US earnings growth (%) (LHS) European earnings growth (%) (LHS) World GDP growth (%) (RHS) Source: Thomson Financial, IBES, Deutsche Bank Forward data are Deutsche Bank estimates Dr. Andreas Neubauer September 2009 page 4
5 Earnings Guidance Earnings guidance widely suspended d in recession Ongoing g recession, volatility in financial markets has caused an increasing number of public companies to suspend earnings guidance as operations become increasingly difficult to predict Recession has accelerated an existing trend in which many public companies have moved from annual to quarterly guidance Hence, analyst expectations, ti earnings uncertainty t start t to fluctuate t much more widely Dr. Andreas Neubauer September 2009 page 5
6 Earnings Guidance Strong downgrade d momentum and high h volatility of macro variables have pushed up earnings uncertainty 25% Standard deviation as % of earnings 20% 15% 10% 5% 0% US Europe Note: Earnings uncertainty is measured as the standard deviation of the estimates of the individual analysts around the average consensus estimates. For Europe, the average of the MSCI Europe is used and for the US, all S&P500 companies are taken into account.

8 Earnings Guidance Q2 09 Reporting Overview So far, 416 companies of the Stoxx 600 universe have reported their results* On the earnings front, 57% of the companies beat their estimates while 42% missed them 49% of the companies exceeded d their revenue expectations, ti while 51% missed them Cost cutting programs adopted by the companies appear to be more successful than expected and hence contributing to the divergence between the revenues and earnings beats However, we believe that sales is a purer reflection of what is going on than EPS and cannot be engineered as easily Looking at the stock performance relative to the performance of the Stoxx 600 index, 24 European companies have shown a significant positive surprise, whereas 16 companies had negatively surprised (time period of measurement: from 2 days before and 1 day after the reporting day) * As of 24 August 2009 Dr. Andreas Neubauer September 2009 page 8
9 Earnings Guidance European EPS and Revenues vs. Consensus Estimates t * Of the 154 companies DB covers, for 36 companies our analysts have improved the outlook, while for 15 companies our analysts have reduced their outlook. * 416 companies of the Stoxx 600 universe have reported their results according to Bloomberg. The statistics includes only those DJ STOXX companies where EPS numbers (both actual and consensus) were available Dr. Andreas Neubauer September 2009 page 9
10 Earnings Guidance Main risks we see for corporate earnings in 2009 Lower sales growth Margins falling to at least mild recession levels (2002/2003) Higher cost of debt, especially for small companies with no access to the bond market and/or poor ratings Consequently, yield gap between high quality and low quality corporate bonds has reached unprecedented levels Goodwill impairment tests could lead to strong goodwill write-downs Risk of pension funding gaps as pension assets may have strongly suffered in 2008 Dr. Andreas Neubauer September 2009 page 10
11 Key Prerequisites
12 Key Prerequisites What do analysts and investors expect from companies? Contemporary publication of statements (information efficiency) Lean and meaningful financial reporting in order to provide investors with unambiguous information (limiting creative interpretation ) Analysts and investors call for transparent, t credible and reliable information Hence, Value Reporting based upon untransparent assumptions to convince investors of strong gperformance is of no relevance Furthermore, both analysts and investors demand structured reference work, therefore a standardization of annual reports (such as US 10K fillings) would reduce time exposure to research enhance comparability among industry and peer groups limit creative interpretation of earnings and balance sheet figures Dr. Andreas Neubauer September 2009 page 12
13 Key Prerequisites Analysts and investors demand d execution of general norm German principles p of proper p accounting ( 243 I HGB) / Grundsätze ordnungsmäßiger Buchführung (GoB) Merchants ( 238 I S.1 HGB i.c.w. 243 I HGB): Jeder Kaufmann ist verpflichtet, Bücher zu führen und in diesen seine Handelsgeschäfte und die Lage seines Vermögens nach den Grundsätzen ordnungsmäßiger Buchführung ersichtlich zu machen. Corporations ( 264 II S.1 HGB i.c.w. 243 I HGB): Der Jahresabschluß der Kapitalgesellschaft hat unter Beachtung der Grundsätze ordnungsmäßiger Buchführung ein den tatsächlichen Verhältnissen entsprechendes Bild der Vermögens-, Finanz- und Ertragslage der Kapitalgesellschaft zu vermitteln. Dr. Andreas Neubauer September 2009 page 13
14 Key Prerequisites Hence, annual accounts are to satisfy Profit assessment (primary function) Focus on GoB codified in 252 I S.1 No. 4 HGB: - German HGB demands cautious ( Vorsichtsprinzip ), revenue related ( Realisationsprinzip ), loss anticipating ( Imparitätsprinzip ) and objective ( Objektivierungsprinzip ) determination of earnings Documentation and Accountability Besides providing clear, complete, unambiguous and comprehensible documentation for third parties, the Annual Report shall comprise the disclosure of usage of entrusted capital and intermediation of a complete, reasonable, appropriate insight. Information function protecting the interests of third parties Analysts focus on appendix (HGB) / management commentary (IFRS) Dr. Andreas Neubauer September 2009 page 14
15 Earnings revisions among pooled markets
16 Earnings Revisions What are earnings revisions i good for? Consensus analyst estimates are widely used to represent market expectations of earnings Efficient market theory states that all the information about the value of a stock is already priced in. Hence, stock prices should only change due to unpredictable information. In reality, however, markets could be inefficient due to information asymmetries and changes in earnings expectations ti are highly hl correlated to stock price movements In late 2008 and early 2009, many analysts got caught up in the atmosphere of doom and gloom, and overreacted Adverse selection issues arise due to products with heterogeneous quality ( pooled markets) information quality can (at least partially) explain the biases in expected returns (D. Hong and M. Warachka, 2005) Dr. Andreas Neubauer September 2009 page 16
17 Earnings Revisions Earnings guidance among pooled markets Information Asymmetry y due to quality uncertainty about earnings guidance: Analyst faces increased earnings uncertainty due to companies vague guidance behavior in recession times Dilemma: Analyst weighs up a costs associated with information (screening process) against b expected benefit disadvantages at imperfect information Looming market failure due to adverse selection issues (Akerlof, 1970) Quality of earnings guidance varies among companies as they are better informed than analysts Pooled markets: Market comprises products with heterogeneous quality and an uniform price (Spremann, 1990) Solution: Market separation through signaling good quality (credible, honest guidance) at reasonable cost provided that signaling costs exceed a low quality company s willingness to pay for signaling at all Dr. Andreas Neubauer September 2009 page 17

22 Earnings Revisions Focus on earnings revisions i in recession times Even in recession times, when earnings uncertainty is above usual levels, firms should stay committed to reporting policy due to sustainable credibility A company that has decided to suspend earnings guidance should take into account a number of issues, including: Announcement of suspension or discontinuation of guidance Metrics that will be provided in lieu of EPS Regulatory considerations However, the current financial crisis has raised questions that have not been addressed sufficiently in Annual Reports / Quarterly Reports Refinancing issues (< 1 year, 1 5 years, > 5 years) Contractant risk (both suppliers and customers) Risk reporting often only re-active but pro-active Dr. Andreas Neubauer September 2009 page 22
23 Conclusion
24 Conclusion Earnings guidance became widely suspended in recession and, hence, earnings uncertainty started to fluctuate much more widely Especially in recession times analysts, investors demand contemporary publication of statements as well as transparent, credible, reliable information However, quality of earnings guidance varies among companies and pooled markets for information make it increasingly i difficult for analysts, investors to generate investment ideas out of corporate statements Even in recession times, when earnings uncertainty is above usual levels, firms should stay committed to reporting policy due to sustainable credibility Dr. Andreas Neubauer September 2009 page 24
