We are focused –
this is our competitive edge.
“DVB consistently pursues its strategic focus
on the transportation industry”,
says Bart Veldhuizen,
Member of the Board of Managing Directors,
responsible for Shipping Finance
and Offshore Finance.
Brand profile – Focused
Bart, how does the Bank set itself apart from its competitors?
”DVB enjoys a rather unique position, thanks to its strategic focus solely on international transport. Through specific industry expertise and clearly aligned business
divisions in the shipping, aviation, offshore and land transport segments, combined with focused and solid management, we differentiate ourselves from our competition as
a highly focused and specialised bank.
We are strongly committed to fulfil and, hopefully exceed our clients’ expectations through tailor-made and innovative solutions. We achieve this by continuously and
diligently analysing all aspects of the international transportation industry. In contrast to many of our competitors in the transport market, the unique services we offer
enable us to keep moving forward through all cycles. The new business we have generated with our transport finance clients throughout 2016, despite the prolonged
challenges that face the shipping industry, is a testament to DVB’s strength, resilience and expertise in both its traditional lending and advisory business.”
How does the focused business model contribute to the Bank's success?
”Our business model focuses on efficiency to drive contribution margins. These will further increase with time as we are striving to reduce allowances for credit losses
related to legacy exposures in the Shipping and Offshore Finance portfolio. In addition, we are boosting the Bank's profitability through "Liberty", a successfully-
implemented internal initiative designed to contain costs.
We will adhere to DVB's clear and exclusive focus on the international transport sector. This unique quality differentiates us from our competition, and is highly appreciated
by our clients and other stakeholders.”
Bart, how will DVB ensure that its focus will not turn into a hindrance?
”Although DVB is a focused transport finance bank, we are not devoted to a single mode of transportation. Goods will always need to be moved and people will always
need to travel. Today, we are challenged to ensure our banking processes and products remain at the cutting edge of technological innovation, in a rapidly changing
technological environment. We are also extending into complementary areas of business where we can create value for our clients, for example our Aviation Asset
Management and Corporate Finance divisions are complementary to our core businesses and are good net contributors.”
”We are building upon our strengths – we are close to the markets, close to our clients, and close to the assets!”

DIVERSIFIED_Diverse comes from a medieval Latin
word diversificare, meaning "make
dissimilar." If you have diversified
something, you have made its parts
different from each other.1
We are diversified –
this is a strong differentiator.

“DVB’s high level of diversification
is a key pillar of the Bank”,
says Christian Hagemeyer,
Member of the Board of Managing Directors,
responsible for credit and risk management
and the Bank’s research.
Brand profile – Diversified
Christian, why is diversification so important to the Bank, and how is this reflected in the business model?
”Diversification is a key pillar of our business model in combination with our strategic focus, and it has grown in importance and viability. Our business model is diversified
across five aspects: global clients; a broad market presence across the international transport markets; a well spread credit portfolio; diversified funding; and the diversity
of our employees. This high degree of diversification is a key risk-mitigating factor – and hence, a key element of our risk policy.”
What does risk mitigation through diversification mean for DVB's specific situation?
”To keep the composition of our credit portfolio as granular and economically efficient as possible, we use multiple diversification criteria and categories for managing the
portfolio. Thus, we maximise the value of our credit portfolio. Specifically, we diversify by:
/ Asset types (such as ships, aircraft, offshore vessels and platforms, as well as rail rolling stock),
/ users, manufacturers, employment and vintage, and in terms of:
/ sectors or sub-sectors of the asset to be financed,
/ borrowers and clients,
/ types of financing, and
/ geographic transport market exposure.
This extensive diversification strengthens our risk profile, providing us with an edge over many competitors. Our resilience in the prolonged market downturn of the
shipping industry has clearly been demonstrated through our performance in comparison with our peers. Despite the persistent crisis, we continue to be able to originate
valuable and profitable new business with selected clients, particularly on the grounds of these diversifying criteria.”
Christian, let us talk about diversification of staff, why are these important for DVB?
”Our teams are the key asset, the cornerstone of the Bank. We highly appreciate their expertise, their creativity and passion. We shape our internal collaboration through
working teams which are multinational and cross-cultural. This, quite naturally, creates a working environment in which people treat each other with respect, and in which
they see working with colleagues from different cultural backgrounds as nothing out of the ordinary. Reflecting this, we joined the Diversity Charter back in 2007. By joining
this corporate initiative we committed ourselves to ongoing active promotion of our workforce’s diversity. Hence, our staff bring a great variety of backgrounds, influences,
cultures and capabilities to the table – and not least, varied views on markets, assets, and stakeholders. This has tremendous benefits for collaboration. It’s also important
for our clients and business partners, many of whom have a multicultural and international profile themselves.
In discussions with colleagues I’m constantly hearing a high degree of identification with our focused and diversified business model, and a strong commitment to our
Bank.”
”This is truly remarkable!”

We are competent –
this makes us unique in our industry.
“DVB’s core strength is our specialised teams”,
says David Goring-Thomas,
Member of the Board of Managing Directors,
responsible for Aviation Finance
and Land Transport Finance.
Brand profile – Competent
David, what are DVB's core areas of competence and expertise?
“Our core strength, in my view, is our specialised teams, with a mix of bankers and others coming from the industry. This gives us an unparalleled view about the right strategies and
transactions to follow. Over the years, the fact that we have had specialists consistently contributing through the decision-making process has been a competitive advantage in that our
clients have experienced a great reliability in our decision-making. In turn, our clients have then approached us for our ability to execute transactions, often at premium terms and pricing.
We are lucky in DVB to have the specialised Asset & Market Research teams. Our competitors do not have access to that type of capability, which over time enables us to make smarter
decisions, be it on strategy, deal-by-deal, or otherwise.”
How will we be able to continue to sustainably strengthen the DVB brand as a transport finance specialist?
“I am certain, that over the past years, we have successfully established the DVB brand. Market participants have gained a clear perception of DVB as a specialist institution and an expert
in our space. To sustain that brand, and strengthen it, is an equal challenge, but we will do so by maintaining our critical focus on our markets, intensifying our industry contacts, and by
further developing our key competencies, all of which will enable us to be active for our customers in both favourable and more difficult times. It will be during the challenging markets, when
we are consistently active in supporting our clients, whilst many of our less specialised competitors have withdrawn from the market, that DVB's 'value' will be most evident.”
David, what steps will the Bank take to ensure the present high level of competency is sustained?
“Our biggest assets is our staff and the expertise they bring, but of almost equal importance is how the skills of each individual are harnessed and effectively utilised. So, people and
processes!
For a bank of the size of DVB, with just 624 staff, we must be deeply committed to human resource development and should use all of the tools at our disposal to do. This of course requires
training, but it is also about looking first for the internal solution when promotion and other development opportunities arise. Turning to our processes, the other significant investment we
must make is in technology: which is required to further optimise the way in which we do things, and the efficiency of what we do. With the right systems and processes, we will be able to
maximise the impact of the competencies of our staff.
Our core competency, for which we are most renowned, is that we deliver effective financing solutions to our customers. This is what they are used to - and what they expect - from us.
Following 2016's bruising result, we must work to ensure a continuing trust in our stakeholder relationships, which should not be taken for granted, but are necessary for us to deliver the
capital and services which our clients expect.
The expertise and competency of our staff is of course needed to bring us through these tougher times, but moreover it is our ability to learn the lessons of the past, as well as to install and
follow best-practices, which will define our future success. For this reason, we will continue to foster and enhance the DVB "one bank, one culture, one spirit" concept, with teamwork being a
central pillar.”
“It is all about competence!”

We are trustworthy –
this facilitates reliable business
relationships.
“DVB’s goal is to maintain trusting relationships
on numerous levels”, says Ralf Bedranowsky,
CEO and Chairman of the Board of Managing Directors.
Brand profile – Trustworthy
"The banking sector is still in a crisis of confidence." Does this statement continue to apply?
“The banking sector has been in a crisis of confidence – for several years now. Many clients have had bad experiences with bank advisors, whereby banks have not exerted their influence
(or did so wrongly), exploited gaps in regulation, or abused the trust their clients have placed in them. Such a distorted perception of banks – which mainly work for themselves and their
owners – has strongly affected the public's view of our industry up until today. At DVB, we have always been committed to put the client focus into the center of our business conduct –
resulting in mutually beneficial business propositions followed by swift transaction execution. This is how we meet our clients’ expectations.”
Ralf, what makes DVB a trusted partner for its stakeholders?
“Trust is essential in business, especially so during these difficult times. Without trust, we can have no stable business relationship that is fair and profitable for both sides. In this context, we
always need to cater for different relationships having different needs. Our goal is always to maintain and strengthen trusting relationships on numerous levels – between the Bank and our
clients, investors, as well as other key stakeholders (industry participants, competitors, service providers, media or employees).”
What, in your opinion, are the specific and key benefits DVB offers clients?
“I am convinced that clients and business partners will perceive the following seven key benefits as compelling and stabilising:
/ We offer customised financing, structuring and advisory services that benefit from our renowned expertise in transportation assets and markets.
/ We offer a high level of execution competence.
/ We run a credit portfolio that is diversified in several ways.
/ We engage in professional and successful restructuring measures.
/ We developed our research know-how which is unique and enjoys a high reputation.
/ We enjoy a stable and reliable shareholder structure.”
Ralf, will clients and business partners continue to be able to place their trust in DVB as a reliable partner?
“Yes, running a cycle-neutral business model makes DVB a reliable partner to our selected clients in financing and advisory services, even in a market environment that continues to be
challenging. Despite the length and depth of the present shipping markets downturn, this isn’t the first storm the Bank has weathered – and on previous occasions we did not withdraw
availability and presence either. This strengthens trust and deepens the intensity of our client relationships for the long term. I am convinced that the strengths of our focus, our diversified
business model, and our continuous quest for further development, will see us through these difficult times as well.
2017, we will seek to protect our business model against the persistent market distortions in shipping and offshore markets, in order to satisfy the expectations of all our stakeholders, to the
extent possible – as required by our duty as diligent people of business.”
“Our success on the field requires well thought-out tactics and a sound defence!”

/ To act sustainably is to act responsibly – on economic, environmental, social and governance criteria.
/ DVB is well aware of its multiple roles in society and makes a valuable contribution to society.
/ To further align this performance contribution with ethical, social and environmental values and to support
sustainable business development, the Board of Managing Directors has initiated a sustainability project.
/ A dedicated project team comprises members from various disciplines in the Bank. It is presently working on
various sustainability aspects.
/ In pursuit of this goal, we look to the German Sustainability Code to develop a customised, holistic sustainability
programme.

Responsible corporate governance
/ Fostering fair and transparent competition is a cornerstone of our business philosophy. This is underpinned by our
compliance guidelines and our code of conduct. Our employees receive regular training on these and other issues.
/ DVB does not exert direct political influence. We are, however, an active member of various banking associations.
As donations to organisations with a political background are specifically excluded from the supportive funding
within our corporate citizenship concept, we made no political contributions in 2016.
/ DVB pursues a cycle-neutral business model, and has remained a reliable partner to its 607 clients – even in a
market environment that continues to be challenging. This strengthens trust and deepens the intensity of our client
relationships for the long term. As at year-end 2016, 54.6% of our clients had been using our range of services for
more than five years.
/ Our customer orientation is also appreciated by market experts. Since 2016, we have been awarded eleven
accolades by renowed industry magazines like Marine Money Shipping, Global Transport Finance and
Transport News.

/ Given the Bank's international market profile, people at DVB work in cross-cultural, heterogeneous working groups
and project teams.
/ It is of particular importance to us to create a positive working environment in which employees are treated with
fairness and respect, where they feel motivated, and which offers them opportunities for personal career
development.
/ In pursuit of this goal, we promote diversity at all internal levels and sustainable human resources management.

Social responsibility vis-à-vis society (corporate citizenship)
/ Social responsibility matters to us. Therefore we regularly support charities through donations – be it money, time,
or resources.
/ Within the scope of our sustainability programme, we developed a corporate citizenship concept, to assume more
social responsibility, to build team spirit and motivation amongst our staff, and to take a more systematic approach
with the integration of our social activities into the business divisions, boosting the economic benefit of individual
measures.
/ Employees are welcome to bring forward suggestions for projects that they feel should be supported. We do not
support organisations whose main interest are political or religious in nature, and no organisations that discriminate
or are perceived as discriminatory.
/ To ensure compliance with our internal guidelines and self-regulatory codes adopted on a voluntary basis, our
evaluation team, in cooperation with our Group Compliance Office, closely assesses incoming suggestions.
/ The number and diversity of suggestions brought forward by our employees during 2016 is proof that our staff have
embraced the diversified corporate citizen concept and that our goals have been reached.

Environmental responsibility
/ As a financial services provider, i.e. a non-manufacturing business, our ecological footprint is largely shaped by
office operations such as facility management, materials usage, information technology and business-related
travel.
/ Within the scope of our sustainability project we are currently evaluating what we can do in the future to help
protect the global climate even more, and how we can get involved in environmental projects that align with our
business strategy. The results, measures and indicators stemming from these evaluations will be taken into
account as part of our sustainability programme.
/ The 2016 energy audit yielded additional insights for us – regarding our energy consumption and the establishment
of an efficient management of resources. Both in terms of electricity consumption per employee and heat
consumption per employee, DVB did very well in comparison with its German peers. Additionally, the group-wide
electricity, heat and paper consumption went down in 2016 thanks to several initiatives.

Shipping Finance – Deal of the year 2016
IVS Bulk
In 2016, DVB closed a deal with IVS Bulk Pte Ltd (IVS Bulk), a subsidiary of Grindrod Shipping Pte Ltd, established in 2013. On the
back of our marketing efforts since 2008, we have established an active and engaging relationship with Grindrod Shipping since our
first ship finance deal for a fleet of tanker and dry bulk vessels in 2011. We closed our first deal with IVS Bulk in 2014 for six of the
twelve newbuildings. With the lowest dry bulk markets, the follow-on deal with existing club banks for the remaining six newbuildings
did not materialise at that time.
Given the relationship established with Grindrod over the years and our commitment to support the company’s shipping ventures, we
were asked to assist in structuring a deal for their remaining Supramax and Handysize vessels. Together with the client, we arranged
a conservatively structured finance package as back-stop finance for the state-of-the-art newbuildings.
The deal was syndicated in close cooperation with our Financial
Institutions and Syndications team.
Despite challenging markets, DVB was able to successfully syndicate
the remaining commitment to a European and Japanese lender.
customers. Grindrod Shipping was very appreciative of our continuous
support, providing structured services at times when other lenders were
withdrawing from dry bulk deals – even for their relationship.

2017
Shipping markets – Outlook 2017
/ Economic growth expectations for 2017 are lower than previously anticipated. This lower growth mode means that
it will take longer for most shipping sectors to see a noticeable uptick in demand.
/ Meanwhile, overcapacity in the existing fleets remains a challenge.
/ Difficult market conditions for shipping and offshore sectors are putting pressure on shipyards, which in turn
encourage ordering activity by lowering prices – thereby further delaying recovery prospects.
/ The lack of private equity activity and bank financing in the second-hand market will continue to stress market
values especially for older tonnage.
/ Defaults and consolidation of ship owners and charterers have occurred and are expected to continue.
/ Major regulatory changes are on the way, starting with the Ballast Water Treatment becoming effective in
September 2017. As this new regulation translates into additional investments, it is expected to accelerate the
phasing out of older units (especially larger ones for which ballast water treatment installations are most
expensive).

2017
Shipping markets – Outlook 2017 (container vessels)
/ The demand for container shipping is changing with lower demand growth as the new normal. The GDP Multiplier
(global TEU growth to global GDP growth) is shrinking and projected in the area of 1 to 1.5 in the next years. This
compares to a GDP Multiplier of 3 before the financial crisis and of 2 post the financial crisis.
/ Contracting of new vessels slowed down in 2016 and the beginning of 2017. However, the high contracting activity
in previous years will accelerate the delivery of larger container vessels.
/ The order book stands at 13.7% of the existing fleet. However, this capacity is scheduled for delivery during a
relatively short period of time: i.e. 210 vessels (1.4 million TEU) in 2017 and 170 vessels (1.4 million TEU) in 2018.
The order book for very large container ships (VLCS) accounts for 81.1% of the existing fleet, which compounds
problems in the container segment – leading to significant continued cascading pressure on the smaller segments.
/ The supply-demand imbalance is expected to continue and freight rates to remain low and under pressure as the
container market struggles to employ the large vessels that are being delivered.

2017
Shipping markets – Outlook 2017 (dry bulk carrier)
/ The demand for dry bulk commodities is projected to be moderate in the coming years. The traditional demand
drivers are changing as the Chinese economy is rebalancing and shifting towards a more consumption-driven
growth.
/ The dry bulk market is expected to have bottomed out in 2016. 2017 will see a gradual improvement before
reaching a market balance in 2018 equivalent to the balance of demand and supply observed in 2012‒2013. The
main challenge is that fleet growth has outpaced demand growth for a period of time. So while market
fundamentals have been improving in 2017 with demand growth expected to outpace supply growth, there is still a
significant amount of excess capacity that needs to be absorbed before a fundamentally supported rebound
occurs.
/ The dry bulk market has experienced a strong start to 2017 and the Baltic Dry Index has increased by 161%
compared to the same period in 2016. As per end of the first quarter of 2017, the order book stood at 7.7% of the
existing fleet. The majority of these vessels is scheduled for delivery in 2017 and 2018.
/ The newly ratified ballast water treatment convention could potentially lead to increased scrapping of older
tonnage, which would ensure a faster return to better-balanced market fundamentals.

2017
Shipping markets – Outlook 2017 (crude oil tankers)
/ Crude oil tanker demand is mainly driven by oil demand, supply capacity and geographical dislocation between refining location and
production regions.
/ As per the International Energy Agency, global oil demand is expected to grow at a slow but steady pace. The total growth in 2017 is
predicted to be around another 1.4%, to 98 million barrels per day. This increase will be generated entirely from non-OECD countries, namely
China, India and Brazil.
/ The OPEC’s production cuts are starting to get effective, with the new output ceiling set at around 33 million barrels per day ‒ a reduction of
about 1.2 million barrels per day compared to the production peak in 2016. We expect the overall oil inventory levels starting to drop during
the first half of 2017.
/ Non-OPEC production is still expected to account for the largest share of the world production growth in the next five years. OPEC production
is likely to remain at high levels at around 33 million barrels per day, representing a decrease around 3% over the previous year.
/ Meanwhile, on the vessel supply side, although ordering activity has been limited in the past few years, newbuilding contracts picked up in
2015 and a large portion (62%) of the order book will be delivered in 2017. In the coming 18 months, the Very Large Crude Carrier fleet is
forecast to increase by 7% and the Suezmax and Aframax fleets by 14% and 7%, respectively.
/ Even with slippage of some scheduled deliveries, the low scrapping rate ‒ coupled with new deliveries ‒ continues to be a setback, with the
increase in capacity exceeding the growth in demand. Hence, fleet utilisation for crude tankers is expected to be under pressure throughout
the year which will lead to a decrease in earnings. Both earnings and asset values are likely to have further minor downward corrections and
return to levels more in line with the underlying longer-term supply and demand fundamentals.

Aviation Finance – Deal of the year 2016
KDAC
In April 2016, Aviation Investment Management (AIM), in its capacity as consultant to the Deucalion Aviation Funds, signed a sale
agreement with one of DVB’s long-standing partners, AerCap, for the purchase of a portfolio of 37 aircraft.
The well-diversified portfolio of mid-life assets formed the basis for a new joint venture ‒ called KDAC ‒ between Deucalion Limited
and one of its investment firm partners. The subject deal, with its substantial size, offered the opportunity to build a platform with the
flexibility to grow and explore multiple exit opportunities.
The portfolio’s size, equity requirement, and average age of ten years represented challenges for some competing bidders. By
utilising the resources and expertise of our wider Aviation platform, AIM was able to identify value in the portfolio where others had
been unable to do so. Furthermore, the execution capabilities of AIM were an added attraction for the seller which was looking to
meet a tight closing timetable.
Our Aviation Asset Management team was appointed servicer of the
portfolio and our structured lending team joined the senior debt facility
as a co-underwriter with BNP Paribas (lead arranger) and Citibank (co-
underwriter). The transaction reinforced our position as a market leader
when it comes to managing experienced third-party equity in large mid-
life aircraft deals.

2017
Aviation markets – Outlook 2017
/ Demand perspectives for passenger transport still remain very positive. Airfreight volumes have recovered strongly in 2017 year-to-date.
Passenger yields were falling as a result of low oil prices, but this trend has probably come to an end.
/ Global airline results are strong and – thanks to the low oil price and high load factors – reached record levels during 2016 on an aggregated
level. With increasing fuel and labour cost, 2016 has probably marked the peak in the cycle and indeed some carriers are coming under
pressure. There are no industry reasons to expect a dramatic downturn, but global political instability, terrorism, populist and protectionist
rhetoric could undermine the confidence of the consumers in international travel as well as international trade.
/ Despite lower order volumes during 2015/2016 vs 2013/2014, the backlog for commercial jets is still very high at around 13,225. The majority
of orders is for the Airbus A320neo and Boeing 737 MAX. At 2016 delivery levels, the backlog is equivalent to just over eight years of
production. The volume of commercial jet orders (western-built, all civil operators) during 2016 was 10% down compared to 2015 and even
40% down compared to the record order year 2014. The Q1 2017 orders were at the same level as during the first quarter of 2016.
/ The generation change in terms of aircraft technology is taking place over the full spectrum of jet categories. There is market speculation
about new variants of existing programmes, but these are unlikely to be launched this year. We do expect the launch of the Boeing 737MAX-
10 later in 2017. A decision on Boeing’s “Middle-of-the-Market” jet concept is not expected any time soon. The twin-aisle market has seen
some order deferrals as airlines start to notice some overcapacity developing from an extended use of their older aircraft.
/ Aircraft lessors control an increasing share of the global commercial jet fleet. They enjoy good popularity with the global investor community.
Consolidation has already taken place in the top 10 of the league and some more can be expected. At the same time, new lessors are
entering the market, frequently driven by Asian investors seeking currency protection in US-dollar denominated assets.
/ Aircraft values seem to be just past a cyclical peak; select larger twin-aisle jets are showing clear weakness. In general, there is currently
ample commercial financing available for new and increasingly also for used aircraft, especially if sold with a lease attached. There is no
reason to expect a sharp downturn in the short term for single aisles, but an unexpected economic slowdown or a fuel price spike could
change things rapidly, similar to 2008.

Greatship
Wholly-owned by the Great Eastern Shipping Company, the Greatship Group started operations in 2006. Today, the company owns a
fleet of four jack-up drilling rigs and more than 20 offshore support vessels.
Greatship entered the contract drilling business in 2009 after it took delivery of two Keppel FELS jack-up drilling rigs (Mod V-B
design). Two newbuildings from Lamprell (LeTourneau Super 116E design) were added to the fleet in 2013 and 2015. These four
units are on charter to Oil and Natural Gas Corp (ONGC) in India and are the most established designs for modern, non-harsh
environment jack-ups. They have been enhanced to meet the operating challenges of the Indian continental shelf, and also to drill
high-pressure/high-temperature wells.
Having continually banked the offshore business of the Great Eastern Shipping Group for over 15 years, we were invited into the
senior secured facility for the refinancing of Greatship’s four modern high-spec jack-up rigs.
The client approached us due to our longstanding relationship, and our
ability to assess the viability of the project despite the challenges in the
offshore sector. The modern assets with long-term ONGC contracts, and
Greatship’s financial strength attracted heavy competition. In this
transaction we partnered with four more financial institutions, each
taking equal stakes.

Offshore markets – Outlook 2017
/ Continued oil price uncertainty is leading to further cuts in exploration and production (E&P) spending
as oil and gas majors not only implement cost-cutting programmes, but also delay investments. It is expected that
offshore E&P spending will decrease by another 8% in 2017, with capital expenditures being more affected than
operational expenditures.
/ Demand for most offshore asset types is expected to further decline. Demand in regions with comparatively higher
oil price breakevens – such as the North Sea, West Africa or Brazil – continued to be more affected than lower-cost
production regions such as the Middle East.
/ On the supply side, the number of units on order remains large for most asset types. Rig owners and shipowners
are expected to continue to take measures to reduce supply growth as much as possible, by delaying deliveries
and scrapping older units.
/ In the short term, the initiatives for supply adjustment measures will not be sufficient to make up for the lost
demand. Hence, fleet utilisation is still expected to decline. As a consequence, the number of stacked units is likely
to continue to grow as shipowners and rig owners strive to preserve cash.
/ As the market continues to remain difficult, cash reserves amongst rig owners and shipowners are becoming
depleted. Hence, we expect restructurings, distressed sales and bankruptcies to continue to be major topics during
2017.

ELL European Locomotive Leasing
ELL European Locomotive Leasing (ELL), Vienna, Austria, is a young but already leading lessor in the European locomotive full-
service leasing market. Set up in 2014, the company developed swiftly into a prominent position by leasing out the most modern
Siemens Vectron electric locomotives, offering the best market prospects in the European rail sector.
ELL approached us and other lenders early 2016 with the request for an extended refinancing facility that would allow optimising the
existing facility; provide debt for the future investments in 30 additional state-of-the-art electric locomotives; and support an even
further growth potential. In June 2016, the new eight-year term loan and revolving facility for ELL was signed. The security package
comprised typical asset-based elements. We acted as Hedging Bank as well as Facility and Security Agent for an international club of
six banks, and took the largest debt share.
This transaction improved ELL’s financing structure and pushed its
range of operational possibilities. We were pivotal for the closing of this
important deal and was again fully recognised as leading lender and
reference bank in this landmark transaction.

Land transport markets – Outlook 2017
/ Demand perspectives for freight transport are positive in Australia and neutral for Europe and North America. The outlook for the European
rail passenger market is positive. Transport price, lease rate and utilisation rate increases can be expected in Australia, whereas the picture is
flat in the other two geographies.
/ In its reference scenario, the European Commission expects an annual 1.6% increase of European logistics and freight transport activity
between 2010 and 2030. SCI Verkehr forecasts a 1.4% rail freight performance (tonne-km) growth p.a. in Europe, 1% growth p.a. for new
locomotives and new freight cars as well as 4% p.a. for new urban rail equipment worldwide between 2016 and 2020. The U.S. Department
of Transportation’s Bureau of Transportation Statistics and Federal Highway Administration projected a compound annual growth rate of
+0.8% in rail freight for the period 2016‒2045. Moody’s projects a neutral to ‒1.8% rail volumes scenario for North America for 2017.
/ The US freight car backlog now predominantly consists of cars which are not built for the now waning oil industry. Regulatory changes for
flammable liquid tank cars distort the economics for a large part of the existing flammable liquid tank car fleet. However, recent large
investments into the general chemical industry due to low natural gas prices in the US will start to trigger more transport by tank cars and
jumbo covered hoppers.
/ Coal markets are still depressed in the United States (tighter emission regulations) and the United Kingdom (doubling of the carbon tax and
closure of some coal-powered stations), subdued in Australia (lower growth in demand from Asia, but the China-Australia Free Trade
Agreement lifts many import duties), but doing fine in continental Europe (more import due to mine closures). President Trump’s emphasis on
the reliance on coal could stimulate the important coal sector in USA. The largest iron ore mines and iron ore railroads will grow, the others
will decline or shut down until iron ore prices considerably rise again.
/ Intermodal transport is likely to stay stable in Australia and North America. It will probably decrease slightly in Europe.
/ Locomotive and freight car demand is weak in all three geographical areas, since current fleets must be better utilised first. Asset prices are
stable or increasing outside energy sectors (coal, oil and sand).
/ Leasing companies continue to gain market share in Europe and for freight cars also in North America.

Financial Institutions and Syndications – Outlook 2017
/ The banking industry is at the cross roads with both threats as well as opportunities on the horizon. The advent of Basel IV regulation coupled
US dollar/euro exchange rates and a requirement to refocus on capital efficiency and non-risk-weighted-asset income (instead of loan
production) appear to be the key near-term issues facing banks. Macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty caused by the above factors is
increasing long-term costs of liquidity: this has partially contributed to shorter loan tenors being preferred across all industries.
/ With challenging shipping and offshore markets, it is expected that banks will continue to exit or scale down lending activity for the remainder
of the year and new appetite for shipping and offshore is likely to remain muted. We note however a more positive sentiment in the dry bulk
market which will potentially impact opportunistic lending towards this sector the second quarter of 2017. Capacity will either be reserved for
existing and core clients or focus on credit quality and vessel employment.
/ Within the world of aviation, senior secured debt remains popular, with some financial institutions continuing to expand their remits to include
limited-recourse portfolios, non-recourse balloons, operating leases, warehouse facilities and junior loans – all whilst attempting to minimise
balance sheet usage (utilising institutional funds and debt securitisation vehicles). Young narrowbodies continue to be regarded as the most
appealing aviation asset, due to their liquid element.
/ In rail, activity is expected to still be focused around the North American and European regions. Liquidity will remain available for portfolio
deals benefiting from a good diversification in terms of railcars and younger equipment. Appetite for small leasing companies with strong
financial track records as well as larger leasing companies and/or publicly-owned borrowers will likely be present.
/ For the remainder of the year, the Financial Institutions and Syndications team expects the number of deals closed for Aviation Finance and
Land Transport Finance to be similar to 2016. This however may not be enough to offset the expected slowdown in shipping and offshore
transactions. Despite the challenges facing the transportation industry, the Financial Institutions and Syndications team aims to continue to
leverage our asset and arranging expertise in order to strengthen existing and newly formed bank partnerships; and to work with our industry
partners in the sourcing of liquidity for our clients and wherever applicable, the distribution of loans.

DVB Corporate Finance – Outlook 2017
/ Following the record-high volume of €4.7 trillion in 2015, global M&A slowed its pace in 2016 to €3.8 trillion, as Brexit, the US
presidential election, volatile oil prices and slowing economic growth in China weighed down on activity. In 2017, we expect steady
activity in M&A as limited organic growth and a drive to profitability by realising synergies contribute to ongoing deal-making.
/ Strong demand for corporate bonds and institutional high-yield alternative debt products continued globally during the first quarter
of 2017, supported by improving risk appetite, low interest rates and low volatility, with new bond issuance in the shipping and
offshore sector accelerating. Year-to-date, we have seen high yield bond transactions in the US and Norwegian markets, and debt-
like placements of preferred shares receive strong investor support. We expect continuing primary market activity and return of
confidence to benefit middle-market borrowers in 2017, while transportation borrowers will continue to explore bilateral direct
funding with alternative non-bank investors both in high yield and investment grade categories.
/ Issuance of transport-related ABS was healthy in 2016, down only marginally from the year earlier, at €4.7 billion. The aircraft
sector was particularly robust, reaching a post-crises record of €3.9 billion in issuance volume as seven deals came to market, the
most since 2000. We expect to see continuation of healthy issuance in aircraft ABS in 2017, steady volume in the railcar sector,
and a return of container ABS with overall volumes to be in line with 2016 levels.
/ Our product specialists focused on corporate bonds, private placements, and structured finance products employ their expertise to
complement the financing requirements of clients, support M&A activity, and diversify capital sources and distressed/balance sheet
repair activities. The formation of the Private Placement Group has strengthened DVBCF’s capabilities and focus on sourcing
private capital on behalf of its clients.

Investment Management (AIM) – Outlook 2017
/ For 2017, AIM expects the aviation market to remain stable as operators will likely benefit from a stable fuel price
environment, relatively low interest rates, good access to liquidity and a high level of new aircraft deliveries.
However, there will be challenges in certain regions where yields will be stressed by increased capacity and
currency concerns. While there is speculation within the market that the industry is at a peak in the cycle, there is
no signal of a downturn in the leasing sector as the still very significant flow of capital into the market should help
buoy asset prices.
/ Investor appetite for the funds will not likely lessen in 2017, as DVB’s knowledge of the industry, the strength of its
Aviation platform, and its asset-based approach provide the funds with a truly unique asset-focused platform to
take advantage of the current market conditions with a well-informed and researched view of the future.

Investment Management (SIIM) – Outlook 2017
/ After a downward correction of most sectors in recent years, shipping markets are expected to remain weak without significant
improvements in 2017. Oversupply remains the current key issue in many sectors, especially in the offshore market which suffers
heavily as a result of low oil prices.
/ However, the outlook for certain niche sectors, most of which with relatively high entry barriers – such as gas and chemicals, in
which SIIM is represented – continues to be stable or points to an early recovery stage. The dry bulk market is expected to see a
gradual improvement in 2017. Crude and product tanker markets have been in decline since the second half 2016 without reaching
a full down-cycle, so still leaving cushion for positive operating cash flow. Oversupply and fundamental changes on the demand
side are changing dynamics of the container liner industry, particularly affecting tonnage provided in the mid-size ship categories.
Yet SIIM exposure in this segment is limited to smaller feeder container vessels.
/ From an equity investment perspective, there are opportunities to enter or expand certain shipping segments at attractive asset
prices. Other financial investors are reassessing their view on and presence in the shipping markets. This has created attractive
opportunities for players with a longer-term investment horizon.
/ For our intermodal investments, the container box leasing market is bottoming out with improving per diem rates and container box
prices. Our container box investments are expected to continue to show good operational and cash flow performance, supported
by a diversified group of lessees. SIIM’s rail investment portfolio is performing well with a positive profit contribution.
/ Our main focus for 2017 is to control the risks in the shipping investment portfolio and enhance diversification of the total SIIM
investment portfolio. Despite some challenges in the short term, the medium term outlook for the SIIM investment portfolio is
moderately positive.

Press release as of 11 May 2017 (1)
DVB Bank Group posts results for the first quarter of 2017
/ Positive development of operating income
/ Allowance for credit losses remains on an elevated level
/ Volatile effects from the IAS 39 result
Frankfurt/Main, 11 May 2017 – DVB Bank Group (DVB), the specialist in international transport finance, reported a consolidated net loss before taxes
of €83.8 million in the first quarter of 2017 (previous year: net income of €25.9 million). This was heavily influenced by a negative net result from
financial instruments in accordance with IAS 39 (€–61.3 million). Furthermore, reflecting market developments, additional allowance for credit losses was recognised in the amount of €65.9 million.
Ralf Bedranowsky, CEO and Chairman of DVB Bank SE's Board of Managing Directors, commented on the Bank's consolidated results:
“On a positive note, income generated by our operating activities continued to show a stable development. Specifically, net interest income (before
allowance for credit losses) was up 4.7%, to €60.5 million, net fee and commission income rose 20.0%, to €32.4 million, and net other operating
income/expenses improved from €4.4 million, to €10.0 million. In particular, we originated 36 new international transport finance transactions, with an
aggregate volume of €1.0 billion (previous year: 27 new financings with a total volume of €1.2 billion).
Due to the persistent structural excess tonnage capacity, the continued deterioration in vessel values and charter rates (especially in container shipping),
and the challenging environment for the offshore industry – caused by low oil prices – allowance for credit losses required predominantly for legacy
exposures in the Shipping Finance portfolio, and for financings in the Offshore Finance portfolio, rose by €29.6 million to €65.9 million (previous year:
€36.3 million).

Press release as of 11 May 2017 (2)
As mentioned, the net result from financial instruments in accordance with IAS 39 amounted to €–61.3 million (previous year: €27.9 million); this was largely
driven by the measurement of cross-currency swaps, which the Bank is not allowed to include in its hedge accounting. Based on prudent economic risk
management, these derivatives form hedging relationships with the related hedged items, whereby measurement gains and losses reported on a particular
record date are neutralised over the entire term of the financings extended.”
The detailed items of the interim financial statements are as follows:
Net interest income increased by 4.7%, from €57.8 million to €60.5 million. Allowance for credit losses amounted to €65.9 million (previous year:
€36.3 million). New allowance recognised for credit losses totalled €103.0 million, €98.9 million of which in Shipping Finance and Offshore Finance. Conversely,
allowance for credit losses of €36.9 million was reversed, of which €32.8 million in Shipping Finance and Offshore Finance. Net interest income after
allowance for credit losses amounted to €–5.4 million (previous year: €21.5 million). Total allowance for credit losses (comprising specific allowance
for credit losses, portfolio-based allowances for credit losses, and provisions) rose to €679.1 million, up 7.3% from year-end 2016 (€633.1 million).
Net fee and commission income, which primarily includes fees and commissions from new Transport Finance business, asset management fees, and
fees generated from Corporate Finance advisory mandates, was up 20.0%, from €27.0 million to €32.4 million.
Results from investments accounted for using the equity method stood at €–0.6 million (previous year: €–0.2 million).
Net other operating income/expenses amounted to €10.0 million (previous year: €4.4 million), largely due to two non-recurring effects.
Moreover, DVB managed to keep general administrative expenses of €47.0 million stable and in line with the previous year (€46.2 million) – in spite
of continued high expenses incurred from regulatory-driven projects. Staff expenses increased by 5.1%, to €28.8 million (previous year: €27.4 million),
whilst non-staff expenses (including depreciation, amortisation and write-downs) were down 3.2%, from €18.8 million to €18.2 million.

Net result from financial instruments in accordance with IAS 39 (comprising the trading result, the hedge result, the result from derivatives entered into
without intention to trade, and the result from investment securities) amounted to €–61.3 million (previous year: €27.9 million).
Consolidated net income/loss before bank levy, BVR Deposit Guarantee Scheme, and taxes totalled €–71.9 million (previous year: €34.4 million).
Estimated bank levy charges of €7.5 million for 2017 (2016: actual bank levy of €6.4 million) as well as €4.4 million in expenses for the Deposit Guarantee
Scheme of the National Association of German Cooperative Banks (2016: actual expenses of €4.7 million) needed to be deducted from consolidated net
income/loss before taxes already at the beginning of the year.
Consolidated net income/loss before taxes declined from €25.9 million to €–83.8 million, whilst consolidated net income/loss (after taxes) amounted to
€–72.9 million (previous year: €19.2 million).
DVB's total assets increased to €27.8 billion as at 31 March 2017, up 0.4% from the 2016 year-end (31 December 2016: €27.7 billion).
DVB's nominal volume of customer lending (the aggregate of loans and advances to customers, guarantees and indemnities, contingent liabilities from
irrevocable loan commitments, and derivatives) declined by 3.9% to €24.9 billion. In US dollar terms, it was down by 2.6%, to US$26.6 billion.
Key financial indicators developed as follows:
Return on equity (before taxes) decreased to –5.4% (previous year: 1.3%). The Bank managed to lower its cost/income ratio by 4.2 percentage points, to
50.1% (previous year: 54.3%). Risk-adjusted Economic Value Added amounted to €–48.1 million (previous year: €–21.2 million).
DVB discloses capital ratios determined in accordance with Basel III (Advanced Approach). On this basis, DVB's common equity tier 1 ratio as at
31 March 2017 was 11.3% (31 December 2016: 13.2%), whilst the total capital ratio amounted to 18.8% (31 December 2016: 20.7%).

Refinancing activities 2016
DVB has emphasised granular and matched-maturity funding for many years – a goal the Bank
consistently adhered to in 2016 as well. We continued to broaden our investor base – not only through
the placement of promissory note loans outside the German cooperative banking sector, but also by
way of the successful placement of two public bond issues, both of which €500 million benchmark
issues.
Funding in 2016 consisted of the following amounts and instruments:
/ Long-term securities in the amount of €2.3 billion were issued under the Bank's Debt Issuance
Programme.
/ Promissory note loans totalling €1.4 billion also contributed to the funding mix.

Macroeconomic environment (1)
Global growth as forecasted by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is projected to rise to a rate of 3.5% in 2017 – slightly
above the previous year's level (projection for 2016: 3.1%). Consistently good economic news since summer 2016 are starting to
add up to a brightening global outlook and the economic upswing that the IMF has expected for some time seems to be
materialising. Global economic activity is picking up with a long-awaited cyclical recovery in investment, manufacturing, and trade.
Stronger activity and expectations of more robust global demand, coupled with agreed restrictions on oil supply, have helped
commodity prices recover from their troughs in early 2016. Financial markets are buoyant and expect continued policy support in
China and fiscal expansion and deregulation in the United States.
DVB agrees with this expert opinion and expects further economic growth to remain uncertain on the back of the following risk
factors:
/ further political development with regard to the benefits of cross-border economic integration – increased restrictions on global
trade and migration would hurt productivity and incomes;
/ a faster-than-expected pace of interest rate hikes in the United States, which could trigger a more rapid tightening in global
financial conditions and a sharp dollar appreciation, with adverse repercussions for vulnerable economies
/ financial tightening in emerging markets, made more likely by mounting vulnerabilities in China’s financial system associated
with fast credit growth and continued balance sheet weaknesses in other emerging markets;
/ increased geopolitical tensions and terrorism and their impact on the global economy;
/ further development of commodity prices, in particular oil prices.

Macroeconomic environment (2)
The following developments are evident in the world:
/ The US economy is projected to expand at a faster pace in 2017. The stronger near-term outlook reflects the momentum from the
second half of 2016, driven by a cyclical recovery in inventory accumulation, solid consumption growth, and the assumption of a looser
fiscal policy stance. The anticipated shift in the policy mix so far has buoyed financial markets and strengthened business confidence,
which could further fuel the current momentum. Over a longer horizon, however, the outlook for the US economy is more subdued.
/ Growth in China is projected to slow down, projections are bit higher than before, reflecting the stronger-than-expected momentum
in 2016 and the anticipation of continued policy support in the form of strong credit growth and reliance on public investment to achieve
growth targets. The medium-term outlook, however, continues to be clouded by increasing resource misallocation and growing
vulnerabilities associated with the reliance on near-term policy easing and credit-financed investment.
/ The euro zone recovery is expected to proceed at a broadly similar pace in 2017 as in 2016. The modest recovery is projected to be
supported by a mildly expansionary fiscal stance, accommodative financial conditions, a weaker euro, and beneficial spillovers from a
likely US fiscal stimulus; political uncertainty as elections approach in several countries, coupled with uncertainty about the European
Union’s future relationship with the UK, is expected to weigh on activity.
/ Oil prices have continued to increase following the agreement by OPEC members to cut oil production. The effectiveness of the
production agreements could thus be partially offset by an increase in US shale oil production, which, unlike conventional oil, can
commence within a year of initial investment. Amid a significant cutback in production, fairly robust demand could move the oil market
from surplus to deficit in the first half of 2017, in turn reducing oil inventory levels. However, rapid investment recovery in the US shale
sector could tip the market back into surplus as early as the second half of 2017.

01/ Business model 02/ Business divisions and services 03/ Financials and outlook 04/ About us 05/ History 06/ Further information
Targets 2017
/ We plan to sustain the positive business development in Aviation Finance as well as in Land Transport Finance and
strengthen the profit contribution of these businesses.
/ We will undertake every effort to avoid having to record a loss as in 2016. We intend to reduce the higher risk costs
in Shipping Finance and Offshore Finance during 2017 and 2018. This is based on assumptions that the persistent
tonnage overcapacity in some shipping segments will not rise beyond existing levels, and that charter rates and
asset values will not decline further. Hence, we will continue to focus strongly on managing risks in these
businesses.
/ We strive to preserve our sound core operational earnings before risk costs and before IAS 39. This means that, in
addition to our lending business, we will focus on value-added services for clients in our Transport Finance
business – such as capital markets products and advisory services.
/ We will keep supporting our shipping clients in a market environment characterised by less liquidity supply as many
international shipping financiers are continuing to withdraw from the shipping markets.
/ We will continue to successfully address regulatory-driven projects. This will also contribute to our ability to
distinguish ourselves from our competitors, as well as raising the entry barriers for new participants in our fields of
business.

Staff – Live diversity
We value our employees – our unique business model relies upon the in-depth expertise, experience and
international diversity of our staff. They support our clients everyday in every respect – from research through
customer service and credit management up to smooth processing.
DVB's business model is international in every respect. Diversity management has thus been a part of day-to day life
at DVB for quite some time. Once again, this was evident in the structure of our team: our employees hailed from a
total of 39 different countries. There are 30 different nationalities represented within our core Transport Finance
business. 286 employees work in Germany and 345 in our international locations.
Back in 2007 we joined the corporate initiative „Diversity Charta“ and thus committed ourselves to ongoing active
promotion of our workforce’s diversity.

Staff – Female quota (1)
In accordance with the Act for Equal Participation of Woman and Men in Executive Positions in the Private and Public Sector,
DVB Bank SE – exchanged-listed company and subject to what is called ‚one third co-determination‘ – laid down the following
targets1 valid until 30 June 2017:
/ Supervisory Board – Female quota of 11%
/ Board of Managing Directors – Female quota of 0%
/ First management level – Female quota of 19%
/ Second management level – Female quota of 33%
In 2016, the actual female quota on DVB Bank SE's Supervisory Board doubled versus the defined target quota, reaching 22%.
Under a local court order dated 23 February 2016, Dr Kirsten Siersleben was appointed, with effect from 1 March 2016, to fill a
position on the Supervisory Board that had been vacant since 31 October 2015. On 23 June 2016, the Annual General Meeting
elected Dr Siersleben to the Supervisory Board as a shareholder representative.
1 The targets match the gender quotas DVB Bank SE achieved as at 30 September 2015.

Staff – Female quota (2)
The Board of Managing Directors of DVB Bank SE currently consists of four members, none of whom is a woman. This is in line
with the target quota. Members of the Board of Managing Directors are appointed without regard to nationality, gender or religion. It is
whether a candidate – male or female – has the required knowledge, skills and professional expertise necessary to properly perform
their duties and whether he or she complies with the principles laid down in the Company's Memorandum and Articles of Association
that decides on their appointment.
At 31 December 2016, the two top management levels below the Board of Managing Directors comprised 86 executives, who either
reported directly to the Board of Managing Directors or who worked as team leaders. Women held 21 (24.4%; previous year: 26.9%)
of these executive positions. While the share of female executives on the first management level rose slightly to 18.2% (previous
year: 17.6%), it decreased to 28.3% on the second management level (previous year: 34.1%) against restructuring measures and
minor fluctuations in some parts of the Bank. When filling positions, assuming the same level of qualifications, the Bank is committed
to give preference to internal applicants and does not regard criteria such as nationality, gender or religion in its decision-making
process.

Staff – Be entrepreneurial
Notwithstanding the high cyclicality of the transport markets, the transport sector overall remains on a long-term
growth trend. Understanding this recurring cycle of sequential transport market phases, DVB has developed a cycle-
neutral business model that offers a wide variety of business opportunities, even in a challenging market
environment.
Our solution-oriented approach to business is focused on entrepreneurial action and efficiency, as well as on a
forward-looking, sustainable approach to risk management. In this way, we continuously develop and fine-tune our
core areas of expertise – arranging and providing structured financing solutions, advisory services, and investment
activities on behalf of our clients. This is the only way for us to adequately respond to new and complex issues in our
corporate environment, and to meet our clients’ requirements.

Staff – Work flexibly
Flexibility is a cornerstone of achieving a work/life balance. Wherever possible and viable we help to
make part-time arrangements. The percentage of part-time employees in DVB's staff has remained
virtually constant for several years.
We are generally receptive to setting up schedules on an individual basis to make it possible to better

Staff – Develop your personal & professional skills
Annual appraisal discussions provide a platform for open dialogue, between manager and employee, regarding
collaboration, skills and development needs. These discussions facilitate the individual planning of personal
development steps tailored to each employee’s requirements.
Special in-house courses are designed to provide effective and hands-on training to our staff at the various locations.
When developing such courses, we take our employees’ diverse cultural backgrounds into account, as well as new
learning technologies.
We organise a special introduction programme for new members of staff: this event at our Frankfurt head office takes
place over several days, during which new employees familiarise themselves with the business divisions and
departments. They will benefit from the personal contacts established on this occasion over the long term.
