FOREWORD AND REPORTS REPORTS AND FOREWORD Dear Readers, LBBW's customer-oriented business model has proved to be successful in the challenging market environment we experienced in 2016. After adjustments for non-recurring items, we remained on target and achieved net consolidated profit almost matching the previous year's level. The stable performance in the operating business shows the high level of trust our customers place in us during these uncertain times. Today, LBBW features among the banks with the highest level of capital resources in Germany, and also enjoys an appropriate risk profile. This is a strategy that we will continue to pursue in the future. It is certain that the market and competitive environment for banks will remain challenging going forward. In the fourth quarter of 2016, LBBW thus amortized goodwill from a previous company takeover amounting to EUR 379 million, pursuant to financial accounting under IFRS. This value adjustment did not impact our very solid capital ratios. We are now in an even more robust position to cushion difficult economic developments or negative movements on the market. In other words, if the underlying conditions were to worsen noticeably, we would not be required to adjust any more goodwill on our balance sheet. Despite the high amortization, we generated a significantly positive consolidated profit before tax of EUR 142 million. Our operating strength is also mirrored in our profit before tax of EUR 269 million, in accordance with the German Commercial Code (HGB), which is not affected by the goodwill amortization. The solid development of the past years is based on a balanced business segment portfolio with a healthy blend of sales and refinancing. Our excellent clientele promises good income potential going forward. With a measured risk policy and outstanding capital base, we as a bank will remain a sought-after partner for other financial backers. 3 FOREWORD AND REPORTS — FOREWORD BY THE BOARD OF MANAGING DIRECTORS However, we cannot afford to, and we do not intend to, remain content with what we have achieved so far. LBBW and, likewise, its customers are required to prepare for numerous political and economic uncertainties in 2017. Other factors are a high pressure to invest in our IT platforms, persistently low interest rates, fierce competition and mounting regulatory costs. At the same time, customer behavior is changing as part of the digitalization process, and their demands and expectations of us as a bank are growing. We are already focusing massive efforts on all these topics, which require vision and ideas; vision for examining the challenges that digitalization will bring us and our customers, and ideas on how to recognize the associated significant opportunities and translate them into economic
