Commerzbank AG (CBK.XE), Germany's second-largest bank by market capitalization, Friday released restated earnings figures for 2008 including the contribution from newly-acquired Dresdner Bank, which it bought from Allianz SE (AZ).

Based on the closing date of the acquisition Jan. 12, the "new Commerzbank," including Dresdner, booked a net loss of EUR6.57 billion for 2008.

The merged bank's restated operating loss for 2008 was EUR5.45 billion, its trading loss was at EUR4.68 billion, and restructuring costs amounted to EUR9.17 billion.

Commerzbank said that in accordance with IFRS 3, all of Dresdner Bank's assets and liabilities are stated with their fair value at closing. The balance is offset against Dresdner Bank's equity capital, or purchase price allocation.

The 'pro-forma' accounts also take into account the business relations between the two companies, changes in consolidated entities - full consolidation of Schiffsbank, sale of Cominvest and Oldenburgische Landesbank - and the sale of a portfolio of collateralized debt obligations to Allianz.
