FOREWORD AND REPORTS REPORTS AND FOREWORD Dear customers, dear business partners of the LBBW Group, Behind us lies another demanding year. Highly competitive markets and mounting regulatory requirements posed challenges for the entire banking sector. Even so, LBBW has once again made significant headway. On a particularly encouraging note, the extensive restructuring activities begun in 2009 have been successfully completed in all main respects. We have managed to convert LBBW into a solely customer-driven bank and have further expanded our customer-related activities. Once again risks were reduced substantially. In 2013, we generated net consolidated profit before tax of EUR 471 million in accordance with IFRS. As a result, we have clearly achieved our goal of closing the year with a profit. This is a gratifying result particularly since we had to contend with a number of sources of strain, such as low interest rates, mounting regulatory costs, the return to a normal level of allowances for losses on loans and advances, and our ongoing efforts to run off risks particularly in the credit substitute business. As of the beginning of the year, we have been able to look back on a total of eight consecutive profitable quarters. This shows that the extensive restructuring activities implemented in the wake of the financial market crisis and the reorientation of our Bank have resulted in the sustained stabilization that we have been aiming for. At the level of LBBW (Bank), we generated net profit before taxes and hybrid capital service of EUR 531 million (in accordance with the German Commercial Code) in 2013. As a result, we will be able not only to honor the current interest payments on existing profit-participation certificates and silent partners' contributions, but also catch up in full on the outstanding payments omitted in earlier years. 3 FOREWORD AND REPORTS — FOREWORD BY THE BOARD OF MANAGING DIRECTORS This was particularly important for us in order to justify the trust placed in the Bank's ability to regenerate itself in this regard as well. After the discharge of the outstanding past and current interest payments on hybrid capital, the net profit stands at EUR 72 million. As in the previous year, all operating segments made a positive contribution to consolidated net profit in the 2013 financial year. Once again, the Corporates segment was a core and reliable source of income for our Bank in 2013. Given difficult underlying conditions in our corporate customer business, which was dominated by competitive market conditions and muted borrowing demand, earnings fell short of the previous year's figure, which, however, had been characterized by a relatively strong performance and extraordinarily low allowances for losses on loans and advances. We were gratified by the positive experience we are enjoying in the wake of our regional growth initiatives in the corporate customer business. Earnings in the Retail/Savings Bank segment were slightly up on the previous year in 2013. In this connection, business with our private customers once again provided stable underpinnings for our business performance despite the low interest rates, cost-intensive additional consumer-protection requirements and intense market competition. Moreover, our investments aimed at expanding our business with high- net-worth customers also yielded encouraging results. The Financial Markets segment in 2013 likewise generated earnings in excess of the previous
