In the first half of 2021, the DZ BANK Group generated a profit before taxes of €1.83 billion (first half of 2020: €557 million).

In 2020, the DZ BANK Group generated a profit before taxes of €1.46 billion (2019: €2.66 billion).

Preliminary results for 2019: DZ BANK Group reports a profit before taxes of €2.7 billion
In 2019, the DZ BANK Group generated a profit before taxes of €2.7 billion (2018: €1.4 billion). This figure is attributable to the healthy operating performance of all group entities.

H1 2019: DZ BANK Group reports a profit before taxes of €1.46 billion
In the first half of 2019, the DZ BANK Group generated a profit before taxes of €1.46 billion (H1 2018: €1.03 billion). This significant improvement on the prior-year period was attributable to the strong operating performance across all entities coupled with an inconspicuous risk situation. One-off items were also a contributing factor, including reporting-date-related valuation effects at R+V Versicherung and DZ HYP as a result of the situation in the capital markets. The disposal of foreign companies of Bausparkasse Schwäbisch Hall and Union Investment also had a positive impact, as did sales transactions at DVB Bank.

The DZ BANK Group increased the volume of business and gained market share in most areas. At the same time, the results reflect negative measurement effects caused by conditions in the capital markets. Other adverse one-off factors also had an impact.
