Alternative performance measures
An alternative performance measure (an APM) is a financial measure of historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows other than a financial measure defined or specified in the applicable recognized accounting standards or in other applicable regulations. A number of APMs are reported in UBS's external reports (annual, quarterly and other reports). APMs are used to provide a more complete picture of operating performance and to reflect management's view of the fundamental drivers of the business results. A definition of each APM, the method used to calculate it and the information content are presented under "Alternative performance measures" in the appendix to this report. These APMs may qualify as non-GAAP measures as defined by US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations.

Recent developments
Management report
Integration of Credit Suisse
We remain on track to substantially complete the integration of Credit Suisse by the end of 2026. Our focus continues to be on client account migrations and infrastructure decommissioning.
In the second quarter of 2025, we successfully completed the first main wave of our Swiss business migrations, having now migrated approximately one-third of the targeted client accounts, and we still aim to complete the Swiss booking center migrations by the end of the first quarter of 2026.
We have made substantial further progress with regard to the simplification of our legal entity structure in the US and Europe, having merged Credit Suisse Holdings (USA), Inc. with UBS Americas Inc, deregistered Credit Suisse (USA) LLC as a broker-dealer and established UBS Europe SE as the single EU intermediate parent undertaking ahead of schedule.
On 18 July 2025, the High Court of England and Wales approved the transfer of Credit Suisse International's residual business and related products to UBS AG London Branch and UBS Europe SE pursuant to Part VII of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. The transfer of the relevant assets and liabilities is expected to occur over the next six months.
Regulatory and legal developments
Developments in Switzerland aimed at strengthening financial stability
In June 2025, the Swiss Federal Council published regulatory proposals that aim to further strengthen banking stability in Switzerland (the Financial Stability Proposals). Proposed measures to be submitted to the Swiss Parliament for enactment would exclude from common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital investments in foreign subsidiaries of systemically important banks (SIBs), include additional requirements for the recovery and resolution of SIBs, add measures to increase the potential for obtaining liquidity via the Swiss National Bank (the SNB), introduce a Senior Managers Regime for banks, and provide additional powers for the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA). Proposed measures at the ordinance level would exclude capitalized software and deferred tax assets (DTAs) on temporary differences from CET1 capital, add stricter requirements for prudential valuation adjustments (PVAs) of assets and liabilities, permit the mandatory suspension of interest payments for additional tier 1 capital instruments in the event of a cumulative loss over four quarters, and introduce measures that aim to enable FINMA and other authorities to better assess the situation of banks in a liquidity crisis.
The Swiss Federal Council plans to start a public consultation in the fall of 2025 on the legislative amendments to capital requirements related to foreign subsidiaries and has indicated it expects to submit its proposal to the Swiss Parliament in the first half of 2026. Entry into force of these amendments is expected in 2028, at the earliest, and is expected to be phased in over a period of at least six to eight years. For the remaining legislative amendments, a consultation draft is expected in the first half of 2026, with the Swiss Federal Council's submission to the Parliament in the first half of 2027. The entry into force of these amendments is expected in 2028 or 2029.
The measures at the ordinance level, including the capital treatment of capitalized software and DTAs on temporary differences, are in public consultation until September 2025, with the ordinances expected to enter into force in January 2027, at the earliest. In addition, a consultation on amendments to the Liquidity Ordinance is expected to begin in the first half of 2026. The amendments to be proposed are expected to set minimum requirements for maintaining borrowing capacity for emergency liquidity assistance.
Based on financial information published for the first quarter of 2025 and given UBS AG's target CET1 capital ratio of between 12.5% and 13%, UBS AG would be required to hold additional estimated CET1 capital of around USD 24bn on a pro-forma basis if the recommendations were to be implemented as proposed. This includes around USD 23bn related to the full deduction of UBS AG's investments in foreign subsidiaries. These pro-forma figures reflect previously announced expected capital repatriations of around USD 5bn.
The incremental CET1 capital of around USD 24bn required at UBS AG would result in a CET1 capital ratio at the UBS Group AG (consolidated) level of around 19%. At Group level, the proposed measures related to DTAs on temporary differences, capitalized software and PVAs would eliminate capital recognition for these items in a manner misaligned with international standards. This would reduce the CET1 capital ratio for the Group to around 17%, underrepresenting UBS's capital strength.
The additional capital of USD 24bn would be in addition to the previously communicated incremental capital of around USD 18bn that UBS will have to hold as a result of the acquisition of the Credit Suisse Group in order to meet existing regulations. This includes around USD 9bn to remove the regulatory concessions granted to Credit Suisse and around USD 9bn to meet the current progressive requirements due to the increased leverage ratio denominator (LRD) and higher market share of the combined business. The progressive requirements for LRD and market share are subject to confirmation.
On this basis, UBS would be required to hold around USD 42bn in additional CET1 capital in total.
Recent developments related to the implementation of the final Basel III standards
In June 2025, the European Commission (the EC) proposed to delay the implementation of the Fundamental Review of the Trading Book (the FRTB) by another year, to 1 January 2027. We expect that the overall impact on UBS will be limited.
In July 2025, the UK Prudential Regulatory Authority published for consultation proposals to delay the implementation of the FRTB internal models approach from 1 January 2027 to 1 January 2028. The FRTB regulation for standardized and advanced standardized approaches will continue to apply from 1 January 2027. With UBS's entities not being subject to the corresponding UK regulation, we expect that the overall impact on UBS will be limited.
In Switzerland, the FRTB became effective on 1 January 2025, together with all other requirements of the final Basel III regulation.
The Swiss Federal Council pauses the revision of the Ordinance on Climate Disclosures
In June 2025, the Swiss Federal Council decided to pause the revision of the Ordinance on Climate Disclosures until the approval of the ongoing revision of the overarching legislation on sustainability reporting in the Swiss Code of Obligations or until 1 January 2027, at the latest.
Recent developments related to EU sustainability reporting
In July 2025, Germany's Federal Ministry of Justice and Consumer Protection published a new draft bill to implement the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (the CSRD). If enacted, the draft bill would make CSRD reporting mandatory for the 2025 financial year for large companies that are subject to wave one reporting requirements of the CSRD, which would include UBS AG.
In July 2025, the EC adopted amendments to the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (the ESRS) to allow wave one companies to omit certain of the ESRS disclosures for the 2025 and 2026 financial years. Also in July 2025, the EC published proposed measures to simplify the disclosure requirements under Art. 8 of the EU Taxonomy Regulation. These actions are part of a broader initiative by the EU to simplify its sustainability standards and to reduce the reporting burden on companies. We are currently assessing the impact of these measures on the disclosures of UBS AG and UBS Europe SE.
Other developments
Resolution of legacy Credit Suisse cross-border matter
On 5 May 2025, Credit Suisse Services AG entered into an agreement with the US Department of Justice (the DOJ) to settle a long-running tax-related investigation into Credit Suisse's implementation of its 2014 plea agreement, relating to its legacy cross-border business with US taxpayers booked in Switzerland, which began before UBS acquired the Credit Suisse Group. Credit Suisse Services AG pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to aid and assist in the preparation of false income tax returns. Credit Suisse Services AG also contemporaneously entered into a non-prosecution agreement regarding US taxpayers booked in the legacy Credit Suisse Singapore booking center. In the second quarter of 2025, we paid USD 511m with respect to the aforementioned resolutions and we recorded in our Non-core and Legacy division a USD 41m net increase in provisions, which included a provision for the estimated costs of UBS's ongoing obligations with the DOJ in respect of legacy Credit Suisse accounts.

Sale of O'Connor business
In May 2025, UBS Asset Management (Americas) LLC entered into an agreement to sell its O'Connor singlemanager hedge fund, private credit and commodities platform to Cantor Fitzgerald. The sale includes O'Connor's six investment strategies with around USD 11bn in assets under management and, as part of the agreement, UBS and Cantor Fitzgerald will establish a long-term commercial arrangement. The transaction is expected to close in stages, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2025, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. UBS AG does not expect to recognize a material profit or loss upon completion of the transaction.
Ownership increase in UBS Securities China
In the second quarter of 2025, we increased our stake in UBS Securities China from 67% to 100%. The closing of the transaction did not affect profit or loss and there was no material effect on our CET1 capital.
UBS AG performance, business divisions and Group Items
Management report
Our businesses
We report five business divisions, each of which qualifies as an operating segment pursuant to IFRS Accounting Standards: Global Wealth Management, Personal & Corporate Banking, Asset Management, the Investment Bank, and Non-core and Legacy. Non-core and Legacy consists of positions and businesses not aligned with our strategy and policies.
Our Group functions are support and control functions that provide services to the Group. Virtually all costs incurred by our Group functions are allocated to the business divisions, leaving a residual amount that we refer to as Group Items in our segment reporting.
This discussion and analysis of the results of the business divisions and Group Items compares the results for the second quarter of 2025 and the six-month period ending 30 June 2025, which are both based entirely on consolidated data following the merger of UBS AG and Credit Suisse AG, with the results for the second quarter of 2024 and the six-month period ending 30 June 2024, which both only included one month of post-merger UBS AG consolidated results. This is a material driver in many of the increases across both revenues and operating expenses.

2Q25 compared with 2Q24
The legal merger of UBS AG and Credit Suisse AG on 31 May 2024 has had a significant impact on the results from June 2024 onward. This discussion and analysis of results compares the second quarter of 2025, which covers three full months of post-merger results, with the second quarter of 2024, which included only one month of postmerger results. This is a material driver in many of the increases across both revenues and operating expenses.
› Refer to "Note 2 Accounting for the merger of UBS AG and Credit Suisse AG" in the "Consolidated financial statements" section of the UBS AG Annual Report 2024, available under "Annual reporting" at ubs.com/investors, for more information about the accounting for the merger of UBS AG and Credit Suisse AG
Results: 2Q25 vs 2Q24
Operating profit before tax was USD 862m, compared with an operating loss before tax of USD 196m in the second quarter of 2024, reflecting higher total revenues, partly offset by increases in operating expenses and net credit loss expenses. Total revenues increased by USD 1,735m, or 18%, to USD 11,635m, which included an increase from foreign currency effects. The increase in total revenues was largely due to increases of USD 965m in combined net interest income and other net income from financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss and USD 925m in net fee and commission income, partly offset by USD 156m lower other income. Operating expenses increased by USD 609m, or 6%, to USD 10,621m, and included an increase from foreign currency effects. The overall increase was largely due to increases of USD 852m in personnel expenses and USD 113m in depreciation, amortization and impairment of non-financial assets, partly offset by a decrease of USD 356m in general and administrative expenses. Net credit loss expenses were USD 152m, compared with USD 84m in the second quarter of 2024.
Integration-related expenses in general and administrative expenses primarily included shared services costs charged from other companies in the UBS Group reporting scope, consulting fees and outsourcing costs. Integration-related personnel expenses were mainly due to salaries and variable compensation related to the integration of Credit Suisse. In addition, there was accelerated depreciation of properties and leasehold improvements in depreciation, amortization and impairment of non-financial assets.
Total revenues: 2Q25 vs 2Q24
Net interest income and other net income from financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss Total combined net interest income and other net income from financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss increased by USD 965m to USD 4,958m, mainly driven by increases in Global Wealth Management, Personal & Corporate Banking and the Investment Bank.
Global Wealth Management revenues increased by USD 402m to USD 2,042m, mainly driven by the consolidation of Credit Suisse AG net interest income for the full quarter. The remaining variance was mainly due to an increase in net interest income, largely driven by positive foreign currency effects and deposit inflows into higher-margin products, and an increase in trading revenues, reflecting higher levels of client activity.
Personal & Corporate Banking revenues increased by USD 334m to USD 1,357m, predominantly due to the consolidation of Credit Suisse AG net interest income for the full quarter, as well as positive foreign currency effects.
Investment Bank revenues increased by USD 379m to USD 1,886m, mainly due to higher Derivatives & Solutions revenues, mostly driven by Foreign Exchange, Equity Derivatives and Rates, due to elevated volatility and higher levels of client activity. In addition, there were higher revenues in Financing, with increases in all products, led by Prime Brokerage, supported by higher client balances. These increases were partly offset by lower revenues in Global Banking, largely driven by a contraction in Leveraged Capital Markets revenues.
Non-core and Legacy revenues were negative USD 150m compared with positive USD 121m in the second quarter of 2024. Revenues included lower net gains from position exits and lower net interest income from securitized products and credit products, as well as due to the consolidation of Credit Suisse AG revenues for the full quarter.
Revenues in Group Items were negative USD 176m compared with negative USD 288m in the second quarter of 2024. The change in revenues was mainly driven by mark-to-market gains from Group hedging and own debt, including hedge accounting ineffectiveness, compared with losses in the second quarter of 2024. Revenues in the second quarter of 2025 included offsetting impacts on portfolio-level economic hedges and mark-to-market effects on own credit.

Net fee and commission income
Net fee and commission income increased by USD 925m to USD 6,526m, mainly driven by the consolidation of Credit Suisse AG revenues for the full quarter.
The consolidation of Credit Suisse AG revenues for the full quarter was the main factor driving a USD 485m increase in fees from portfolio management, to USD 3,163m, and a USD 242m increase in investment fund fees, to USD 1,600m, predominantly in Global Wealth Management and Asset Management, respectively. The increase in Global Wealth Management was also due to positive market performance and net new fee-generating asset inflows.
Net brokerage fees increased by USD 187m to USD 1,189m, mainly due to higher levels of client activity in Global Wealth Management, and in Cash Equities in Execution Services in the Investment Bank, due to higher volumes.

Other income
Other income was USD 150m and included the consolidation of Credit Suisse AG income for the full quarter, compared with USD 306m in the second quarter of 2024. The decrease was largely due to lower costs charged to shared services subsidiaries of UBS Group AG. In addition, losses of USD 35m from disposals of properties held for sale were incurred, predominantly in Group Items. The second quarter of 2025 also included a USD 31m loss relating to an investment in an associate.

Credit loss expense / release: 2Q25 vs 2Q24
Total net credit loss expenses in the second quarter of 2025 were USD 152m, reflecting net expenses of USD 38m related to performing positions and net expenses of USD 114m on credit-impaired positions. Net credit loss expenses were USD 84m in the second quarter of 2024.

1 Financial advisor compensation consists of cash compensation, determined using a formulaic approach based on production, and deferred awards. It also includes expenses related to compensation commitments with financial advisors entered into at the time of recruitment that are subject to vesting requirements.
Personnel expenses
Personnel expenses increased by USD 852m to USD 5,649m, mainly driven by the consolidation of Credit Suisse AG expenses for the full quarter, reflecting both the combined workforce resulting from the merger and higher accruals for performance awards, and also driven by a USD 44m increase in financial advisor compensation resulting from higher compensable revenues.
› Refer to "Note 7 Personnel expenses" in the "Consolidated financial statements" section of this report for more information
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses decreased by USD 356m to USD 4,228m and included the consolidation of Credit Suisse AG expenses for the full quarter. The overall decrease was largely attributable to a USD 998m reduction in costs for litigation, regulatory and similar matters, mainly due to recognition of costs in the second quarter of 2024 when UBS agreed to fund an offer by the Credit Suisse supply chain finance funds to redeem all of the outstanding units of the respective funds. This was partly offset by an increase of USD 441m in shared services costs for Technology, Finance and Risk charged by shared services subsidiaries of UBS Group AG. General and administrative expenses also included increases of USD 45m in real estate and logistics costs, USD 43m in consulting, legal and audit fees, and USD 38m in technology costs.

Depreciation, amortization and impairment of non-financial assets
Depreciation, amortization and impairment of non-financial assets increased by USD 113m to USD 744m and included the consolidation of Credit Suisse AG expenses for the full quarter. The overall increase was largely attributable to a USD 73m increase of amortization of internally generated capitalized software as a result of a higher cost base of software assets, as well as higher depreciation attributable to right-of-use assets associated with real estate leases.
Tax: 2Q25 vs 2Q24
UBS AG had a net income tax benefit of USD 336m in the second quarter of 2025, representing a negative effective tax rate of 39.0%, compared with a tax expense of USD 28m in the second quarter of 2024.
This reflected a net deferred tax benefit of USD 664m, which included a USD 663m benefit related to integrationrelated tax planning, primarily driven by the recognition of deferred tax assets (DTAs) in respect of tax losses carried forward and deductible temporary differences resulting from the final consolidation of legal entities in the United States and a USD 52m benefit due to an increase in DTA recognition within UBS AG's US branch. These benefits were partly offset by a net deferred tax expense of USD 51m that primarily related to the amortization of DTAs previously recognized in relation to tax losses carried forward and deductible temporary differences.
The current tax expense was USD 328m, which primarily related to the taxable profits of UBS Switzerland AG and other entities.
Total comprehensive income attributable to shareholders
In the second quarter of 2025, total comprehensive income attributable to shareholders was USD 4,213m, reflecting a net profit of USD 1,192m and other comprehensive income (OCI), net of tax, of USD 3,021m.
Foreign currency translation OCI was USD 2,610m, mainly resulting from the US dollar weakening against the Swiss franc and the euro.
OCI related to cash flow hedges was USD 562m, mainly reflecting net unrealized gains on US dollar hedging derivatives resulting from decreases in the relevant US dollar long-term interest rates and net losses on hedging instruments that were reclassified from OCI to the income statement.
OCI related to own credit on financial liabilities designated at fair value was negative USD 138m, primarily due to a tightening of our own credit spreads.

Sensitivity to interest rate movements
As of 30 June 2025, it is estimated that a parallel shift in yield curves by +100 basis points could lead to a combined increase in annual net interest income from our banking book of approximately USD 1.4bn in the first year after such a shift. Of this increase, approximately USD 0.7bn, USD 0.4bn and USD 0.1bn would result from changes in Swiss franc, US dollar and euro interest rates, respectively.
A parallel shift in yield curves by –100 basis points could lead to a combined increase in annual net interest income of approximately USD 0.8bn. Of this increase, approximately USD 1.5bn would result from changes in the Swiss franc interest rate, driven by both contractual and assumed flooring benefits under negative interest rates. US dollar and euro interest rate changes would lead to an offsetting decrease of USD 0.5bn and USD 0.1bn, respectively.
These estimates do not represent net interest income forecasts as they are based on a hypothetical scenario of an immediate change in interest rates, equal across all currencies and relative to implied forward rates as of 30 June 2025 applied to our banking book. These estimates further assume no change to balance sheet size and product mix, stable foreign exchange rates, and no specific management action.

Common equity tier 1 capital: 2Q25 vs 1Q25
During the second quarter of 2025, common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital decreased by USD 0.9bn to USD 69.8bn, mainly as operating profit before tax of USD 0.9bn and foreign currency translation gains of USD 2.5bn were more than offset by dividend accruals of USD 3.5bn and current tax expenses of USD 0.3bn.
Return on common equity tier 1 capital: 2Q25 vs 2Q24
The annualized return on CET1 capital was 6.8%, compared with negative 1.7%, driven by net profit attributable to shareholders compared with a net loss attributable to shareholders in the second quarter of 2024, as well as a decrease in average CET1 capital.
Risk-weighted assets: 2Q25 vs 1Q25
During the second quarter of 2025, RWA increased by USD 16.8bn to USD 498.3bn, driven by an USD 18.7bn increase in currency effects, partly offset by a USD 1.5bn decrease resulting from asset size and other movements and a USD 0.3bn decrease resulting from model updates and methodology changes.
Common equity tier 1 capital ratio: 2Q25 vs 1Q25
The CET1 capital ratio decreased to 14.0% from 14.7%, reflecting the aforementioned increase in RWA and the aforementioned decrease in CET1 capital.
Leverage ratio denominator: 2Q25 vs 1Q25
During the second quarter of 2025, the leverage ratio denominator (the LRD) increased by USD 94.3bn to USD 1,660.1bn, mainly driven by currency effects of USD 88.4bn and asset size and other movements of USD 5.8bn.
Common equity tier 1 leverage ratio: 2Q25 vs 1Q25
The CET1 leverage ratio decreased to 4.2% from 4.5%, reflecting the aforementioned increase in the LRD and the aforementioned decrease in CET1 capital.
Results 6M25 vs 6M24
Operating profit before tax increased by USD 1,018m, or 86%, to USD 2,201m, reflecting a USD 4,790m increase in total revenues, which was partly offset by a USD 3,633m increase in operating expenses. Net credit loss expenses were USD 275m compared with net credit loss expenses of USD 136m in the first six months of 2024.
Total combined net interest income and other net income from financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss increased by USD 2,466m to USD 10,210m. Revenues in Global Wealth Management increased by USD 918m, mainly driven by the consolidation of Credit Suisse AG revenues for the full period, positive foreign currency effects, deposit inflows into higher-margin products, as well as the impact of higher levels of client activity. Personal & Corporate Banking increased by USD 677m, largely due to the consolidation of Credit Suisse AG net interest income for the full period. The Investment Bank increased by USD 878m, mainly due to an increase in Derivatives & Solutions revenues that resulted from elevated volatility and higher levels of client activity. In addition, there were higher revenues in Financing, led by Prime Brokerage, supported by higher client balances. These increases were partly offset by lower revenues in Global Banking, which mainly resulted from lower volumes in Leveraged Capital Markets. Non-core and Legacy revenues were negative USD 33m compared with positive USD 139m in the first six months of 2024, largely due to lower net gains from position exits and net interest income from securitized products and credit products, partly offset by the effect from the consolidation of Credit Suisse AG revenues for the full period. Group Items revenues were negative USD 413m, compared with negative USD 563m in the first six months of 2024, mainly due to lower mark-to-market losses from Group hedging and own debt, including hedge accounting ineffectiveness. The losses in the first half of 2025 were driven by mark-tomarket effects on own credit and portfolio-level economic hedges within Group Treasury.
Net fee and commission income increased by USD 2,406m to USD 13,156m. The consolidation of Credit Suisse AG revenues for the full period led to increases of USD 1,131m in portfolio management and related service fees and USD 584m in investment fund fees, predominantly in Global Wealth Management and Asset Management, respectively. The increase in Global Wealth Management was also due to positive market performance and net new fee-generating asset inflows. Net brokerage fees increased by USD 511m, mainly reflecting higher levels of client activity in Global Wealth Management and in Execution Services in the Investment Bank, due to higher volumes.
Other income was USD 432m, compared with USD 515m in the first six months of 2024, and included the consolidation of Credit Suisse income for the full period. The overall change was mainly due to lower costs charged to shared services subsidiaries of UBS Group AG. The share of net profits of associates and joint ventures was USD 118m higher, mainly reflecting a USD 64m gain related to the Swisscard transactions, partly offset by a USD 16m net loss relating to an investment in an associate.
Personnel expenses increased by USD 2,601m to USD 11,559m and included the consolidation of Credit Suisse AG expenses for the full period, reflecting both the combined workforce resulting from the merger and higher accruals for performance awards, and also driven by a USD 186m increase in financial advisor compensation as a result of higher compensable revenues.
General and administrative expenses increased by USD 735m to USD 8,305m, mainly driven by the consolidation of Credit Suisse AG expenses for the full period. The overall increase was largely attributable to a USD 739m increase in shared services costs charged by shared services subsidiaries of the UBS Group. General and administrative expenses also included a USD 180m expense related to the Swisscard transactions in Personal & Corporate Banking and increases of USD 130m in technology costs, USD 119m in real estate and logistics costs, and USD 99m in consulting, legal and audit fees. These increases were partly offset by USD 810m lower expenses for litigation, regulatory and similar matters, mainly due to the costs recognized in the first six months of 2024 when UBS agreed to fund an offer by the Credit Suisse supply chain finance funds to redeem all of the outstanding units in the respective funds.
Depreciation, amortization and impairment of non-financial assets increased by USD 296m to USD 1,458m and included the impact from the consolidation of Credit Suisse AG expenses for the full period. The overall increase included a USD 217m increase of amortization of internally generated capitalized software mainly as a result of the consolidation of Credit Suisse AG expenses and a higher cost base of software assets, as well as higher depreciation attributable to right-of-use assets associated with real estate leases.
Outlook
The third quarter started with strong market performance in risk assets, particularly international equities, combined with a weak US dollar. Investor sentiment remains broadly constructive, tempered by persistent macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties. Against this backdrop, our client conversations and deal pipelines indicate a high level of readiness among investors and corporates to deploy capital as conviction around the macro outlook strengthens.
For the third quarter, we expect Global Wealth Management's net interest income (NII) and Personal & Corporate Banking's NII in Swiss francs to be broadly stable. In US dollar terms, this translates to a sequential low single-digit percentage increase.
We also expect trading and transactional activity to reflect more normalized seasonal patterns and activity levels compared with the same quarter a year ago, particularly in Global Wealth Management's transaction-based revenues and the Investment Bank's Global Markets performance.
We remain focused on actively engaging with our clients, helping them to navigate a complex environment while executing on our growth and integration plans. We are confident in our ability to deliver on our 2025 and 2026 financial targets, leveraging the power of our diversified business model.

Loss before tax was USD 880m, compared with a loss before tax of USD 1,365m.
Total revenues

Loss before tax was USD 318m, mainly reflecting operating expenses and deferred tax asset (DTA) funding costs. The USD 47m, or 13%, decrease in loss before tax between quarters was largely due to mark-to-market gains from Group hedging and own debt, including hedge accounting ineffectiveness, compared with mark-to-market losses in the second quarter of 2024. The gains in the second quarter of 2025 included offsetting impacts on portfoliolevel economic hedges and mark-to-market effects on own credit. The second quarter of 2025 also included losses from disposals of properties held for sale.
Results: 6M25 vs 6M24
Loss before tax was USD 663m, mainly reflecting operating expenses, DTA funding costs and mark-to-market losses from Group hedging and own debt, including hedge accounting ineffectiveness. The USD 21m, or 3%, decrease in loss before tax between periods was largely due to lower mark-to-market losses from Group hedging and own debt, including hedge accounting ineffectiveness. The losses in the first half of 2025 were driven by mark-to-market effects on own credit and portfolio-level economic hedges. In addition, the first half of 2025 included an increase in provisions for litigation, regulatory and similar matters, higher shared services costs charged by other subsidiaries of UBS Group AG, and losses from disposals of properties held for sale.

Risk management and control
This section provides information about key developments during the reporting period and should be read in conjunction with the "Risk management and control" section of the UBS AG Annual Report 2024, available under "Annual reporting" at ubs.com/investors, and the "Recent developments" section of this report for more information about the integration of Credit Suisse.
UBS AG consolidated risk profile
The risk profile of UBS AG consolidated does not differ materially from that of UBS Group AG consolidated and the risk information provided in the UBS Group second quarter 2025 report is equally applicable to UBS AG consolidated.
The credit risk profile of UBS AG consolidated as of 30 June 2025 differed from that of UBS Group AG consolidated in relation to total banking products exposure, mainly reflecting purchase price allocation effects booked at the Group level relating to the acquisition of the Credit Suisse Group, as well as receivables of UBS AG and UBS Switzerland AG from UBS Group AG and UBS Business Solutions AG, reflecting consolidation scope differences.
The total banking products exposure of UBS AG consolidated as of 30 June 2025 was USD 1,111.9bn, i.e. USD 7.7bn, or 0.7%, higher than the exposure of UBS Group AG consolidated. As of 31 March 2025, the total banking products exposure of UBS AG consolidated was USD 1,046.3bn, i.e. USD 9.7bn, or 0.9%, higher than the exposure of UBS Group AG consolidated.

Capital management
The disclosures in this section are provided for UBS AG on a consolidated basis and focus on information in accordance with the Basel III framework, as applicable to Swiss systemically relevant banks (SRBs). They should be read in conjunction with "Capital management" in the "Capital, liquidity and funding, and balance sheet" section of the UBS AG Annual Report 2024, available under "Annual reporting" at ubs.com/investors, which provides more information about relevant capital management objectives, planning and activities, as well as the Swiss SRB total loss-absorbing capacity framework, on a UBS AG consolidated basis.
In Switzerland, the amendments to the Capital Adequacy Ordinance (the CAO) that incorporate the final Basel III standards into Swiss law, including the five new ordinances that contain the implementing provisions for the revised CAO, entered into force on 1 January 2025.
UBS AG contributes a significant portion of capital to, and provides substantial liquidity to, its subsidiaries. Many of these subsidiaries are subject to local regulations requiring compliance with minimum capital, liquidity and similar requirements.

1 Includes applicable add-ons of 1.66% for risk-weighted assets (RWA) and 0.51% for leverage ratio denominator (LRD), of which 4 basis points for RWA and 1 basis points for LRD reflect a Pillar 2 capital add-on of USD 193m related to the supply chain finance funds matter at Credit Suisse. An additional 18 basis points for RWA reflect a Pillar 2 capital add-on for the residual exposure (after collateral mitigation) to hedge funds, private equity and family offices, effective 1 January 2025. 2 Includes the Pillar 2 add-on for the residual exposure (after collateral mitigation) to hedge funds, private equity and family offices of 0.12% for CET1 capital and 0.05% for AT1 capital, effective 1 January 2025. For AT1 capital, under Pillar 1 requirements, a maximum of 4.3% of AT1 capital can be used to meet going concern requirements; 4.35% includes the aforementioned Pillar 2 capital add-on. 3 Our CET1 leverage ratio requirement of 3.51% consists of a 1.5% base requirement, a 1.5% base buffer capital requirement, a 0.25% LRD add-on requirement, a 0.25% market share add-on requirement based on our Swiss credit business and a 0.01% Pillar 2 capital add-on related to the supply chain finance funds matter at Credit Suisse. 4 A maximum of 25% of the gone concern requirements can be met with instruments that have a remaining maturity of between one and two years. Once at least 75% of the minimum gone concern requirement has been met with instruments that have a remaining maturity of greater than two years, all instruments that have a remaining maturity of between one and two years remain eligible to be included in the total gone concern capital. 5 From 1 January 2023, the resolvability discount on the gone concern capital requirements for systemically important banks (SIBs) has been replaced with reduced base gone concern capital requirements equivalent to 75% of the total going concern requirements (excluding countercyclical buffer requirements and the Pillar 2 add-ons). 6 As of July 2024, FINMA has the authority to impose a surcharge of up to 25% of the total going concern capital requirements (excluding countercyclical buffer requirements and the Pillar 2 add-ons) should obstacles to an SIB's resolvability be identified in future resolvability assessments. 7 Includes applicable add-ons of 1.08% for RWA and 0.38% for LRD.
UBS AG, on a consolidated basis, is subject to the going and gone concern requirements of the Swiss CAO, which include additional requirements applicable to Swiss SRBs. The table above provides the risk-weighted asset (RWA) and leverage ratio denominator (LRD)-based requirements and information as of 30 June 2025.
UBS AG and UBS Switzerland AG are subject to going and gone concern requirements on a standalone basis.
Effective 1 January 2025, a Pillar 2 capital add-on for uncollateralized exposures to hedge funds, private equity and family offices has been introduced. This resulted in an increase of 18 basis points in the RWA-based going concern capital requirement as of 30 June 2025.
On a standalone basis as of 30 June 2025, UBS AG's fully applied common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio was 13.2%. Additional capital information for UBS AG standalone will be published with our 30 June 2025 Pillar 3 Report, which will be available as of 28 August 2025 under "Pillar 3 disclosures" at ubs.com/investors.

1 Reflects the appropriation of USD 6,500m to a special dividend reserve approved at the 2025 Annual General Meeting in April 2025. The decision on the special dividend payment is intended to be made at an Extraordinary General Meeting in the second half of 2025, considering the proposed requirements from Switzerland's review of its capital regime. 2 Includes dividend accruals for the current year and other items.
The going concern capital of UBS AG consolidated was USD 3.2bn lower than the going concern capital of UBS Group AG consolidated as of 30 June 2025, reflecting lower CET1 capital of USD 2.9bn and lower going concern loss-absorbing additional tier 1 (AT1) capital of USD 0.4bn.
The aforementioned difference in CET1 capital was primarily due to a USD 12.9bn difference in dividend accruals between UBS AG and UBS Group AG, largely offset by UBS Group AG consolidated equity being USD 5.2bn lower, compensation-related regulatory capital accruals at the UBS Group AG level of USD 2.8bn, a capital reserve for expected future share repurchases of USD 2.0bn and a USD 0.5bn effect from eligible deferred tax assets on temporary differences.
The going concern loss-absorbing AT1 capital of UBS AG consolidated was USD 0.4bn lower than that of UBS Group AG consolidated as of 30 June 2025, mainly reflecting deferred contingent capital plan awards granted at the Group level to eligible employees for the 2020 to 2024 performance years.
Differences in capital between UBS AG consolidated and UBS Group AG consolidated related to employee compensation plans will reverse to the extent underlying services are performed by employees of, and are consequently charged to, UBS AG and its subsidiaries. Such reversal generally occurs over the service period of the employee compensation plan.
The RWA of UBS AG consolidated were USD 6.2bn lower than the RWA of UBS Group AG consolidated, mainly reflecting non-counterparty-related-assets held outside the UBS AG consolidation scope, partly offset by intercompany credit risk exposures in UBS AG toward Group entities outside of the UBS AG consolidation scope.
The LRD of UBS AG consolidated was USD 2.0bn higher than the LRD of UBS Group AG consolidated, mainly reflecting purchase price allocation (PPA) adjustments that apply at the Group level but not at the UBS AG level, as well as intercompany exposures in UBS AG toward Group entities, partly offset by fixed assets held outside of the UBS AG consolidation scope.
The LRD for UBS AG consolidated exceeds that of UBS Group AG consolidated, and UBS AG's RWA is lower than that of UBS Group AG consolidated. This divergence stems mainly from certain PPA adjustments that apply at the Group level but not at the UBS AG level and are subject to low risk weights.

Notes to the UBS AG interim consolidated financial statements (unaudited)
Note 1 Basis of accounting
Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements (the financial statements) of UBS AG and its subsidiaries (together, UBS AG) are prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (the IASB), and are presented in US dollars. These interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting.
In preparing these interim financial statements, the same accounting policies and methods of computation have been applied as in the UBS AG consolidated annual financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2024. These interim financial statements are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with: UBS AG's audited consolidated financial statements in the UBS AG Annual Report 2024; the "Management report" sections of this report, specifically the disclosures in the "Recent developments" section of this report regarding the sale of O'Connor hedge funds and the ownership increase in UBS Securities China and in the "UBS AG performance, business divisions and Group Items" section of this report regarding the sale of Select Portfolio Servicing (the US mortgage servicing business of Credit Suisse) and the transactions related to Swisscard; and the information about significant transactions disclosed in the UBS AG first quarter 2025 report. In the opinion of management, all necessary adjustments have been made for a fair presentation of UBS AG's financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Preparation of these interim financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, expenses and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates and assumptions are based on the best available information. Actual results in the future could differ from such estimates and differences may be material to the financial statements. Revisions to estimates, based on regular reviews, are recognized in the period in which they occur. For more information about areas of estimation uncertainty that are considered to require critical judgment, refer to "Note 1a Material accounting policies" in the "Consolidated financial statements" section of the UBS AG Annual Report 2024.

b) Changes to ECL models, scenarios and scenario weights
Scenarios and scenario weights
The expected credit loss (ECL) scenarios, along with their related macroeconomic factors and market data, were reviewed in light of the economic and political conditions prevailing in the second quarter of 2025 through a series of governance meetings, with input and feedback from UBS AG Risk and Finance experts across the business divisions and regions.
The baseline scenario was updated with the latest macroeconomic forecasts as of 30 June 2025. The assumptions on a calendar-year basis are included in the table below and have been revised downward in the US, the Eurozone and Japan relative to the start of 2025 in the second half of the year following the announcement of US tariffs imposed on imports from other countries. In general, forecasts for Swiss GDP growth and unemployment are less optimistic than in 2024, due to spillover effects from the US tariff announcements. Expectations for long-term interest rates were revised and are marginally lower, while forecasts for house prices remained unchanged.
At the beginning of the first quarter of 2025, UBS AG replaced the stagflationary geopolitical crisis scenario applied at the end of 2024 with the global crisis scenario, as the severe downside scenario. It targets risks such as sovereign defaults, low interest rates, a crisis in the Eurozone and significant emerging market stress. The mild stagflation crisis scenario replaced the mild debt crisis scenario as the mild downside scenario. In the mild stagflation crisis scenario, interest rates are assumed to rise rather than decline, as in the previously applied mild debt crisis scenario. However, the declines in GDP and equities are similar.
UBS AG kept the scenarios and scenario weights in line with those applied in the UBS AG first quarter 2025 report. All of the scenarios, including the asset price appreciation and the baseline scenarios, have been updated based on the latest macroeconomic forecasts as of 30 June 2025. The assumptions on a calendar-year basis are included in the table below.

c) ECL-relevant balance sheet and off-balance sheet positions including ECL allowances and provisions
The following tables provide information about financial instruments and certain non-financial instruments that are subject to ECL requirements. For amortized-cost instruments, the carrying amount represents the maximum exposure to credit risk, taking into account the allowance for credit losses. Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) are also subject to ECL; however, unlike amortized-cost instruments, the allowance for credit losses for FVOCI instruments does not reduce the carrying amount of these financial assets. Instead, the carrying amount of financial assets measured at FVOCI represents the maximum exposure to credit risk.
No purchased credit-impaired financial assets were recognized in the second quarter of 2025. Originated creditimpaired financial assets were not material and are not presented in the table below.
In addition to recognized financial assets, certain off-balance sheet financial instruments and other credit lines are also subject to ECL. The maximum exposure to credit risk for off-balance sheet financial instruments is calculated based on the maximum contractual amounts.

1 The carrying amount of financial assets measured at amortized cost represents the total gross exposure net of the respective ECL allowances.
Note 9 Expected credit loss measurement (continued)
The table below provides information about the gross carrying amount of exposures subject to ECL and the ECL coverage ratio for UBS AG's core loan portfolios (i.e. Loans and advances to customers and Loans to financial advisors) and relevant off-balance sheet exposures. Cash and balances at central banks, Amounts due from banks, Receivables from securities financing transactions, Cash collateral receivables on derivative instruments and Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are not included in the table below, due to their lower sensitivity to ECL.
ECL coverage ratios are calculated by dividing ECL allowances and provisions by the gross carrying amount of the related exposures.
The overall coverage ratio for performing positions was unchanged at 10 basis points as of 30 June 2025. Compared with 31 March 2025, coverage ratios for performing positions related to real estate lending (on-balance sheet) were unchanged at 4 basis points, and coverage ratios for performing positions related to corporate lending (on-balance sheet) increased by 2 basis points to 74 basis points.

c) Level 3 instruments: valuation techniques and inputs
The table below presents material Level 3 assets and liabilities, together with the valuation techniques used to measure fair value, as well as the inputs used in a given valuation technique that are considered significant as of 30 June 2025 and unobservable, and a range of values for those unobservable inputs.
The range of values represents the highest- and lowest-level inputs used in the valuation techniques. Therefore, the range does not reflect the level of uncertainty regarding a particular input or an assessment of the reasonableness of UBS AG's estimates and assumptions, but rather the different underlying characteristics of the relevant assets and liabilities held by UBS AG.
The significant unobservable inputs disclosed in the table below are consistent with those included in "Note 21 Fair value measurement" in the "Consolidated financial statements" section of the UBS AG Annual Report 2024.

Valuation techniques and inputs used in the fair value measurement of Level 3 assets and liabilities
1 The ranges of significant unobservable inputs are represented in points, percentages and basis points. Points are a percentage of par (e.g. 100 points would be 100% of par). 2 Weighted averages are provided for most non-derivative financial instruments and were calculated by weighting inputs based on the fair values of the respective instruments. Weighted averages are not provided for inputs related to Other financial liabilities designated at fair value and Derivative financial instruments, as this would not be meaningful. 3 Debt issued designated at fair value primarily consists of UBS AG structured notes, which include variable maturity notes with various equity and foreign exchange underlying risks, as well as rates-linked and credit-linked notes, all of which have embedded derivative parameters that are considered to be unobservable. The derivative instrument parameters for debt issued designated at fair value, embedded derivatives for over-the-counter debt instruments reported under Other financial liabilities designated at fair value and funded derivatives reported under Loans at fair value (held for trading and not held for trading) are presented in the corresponding derivative financial instruments lines in this table. 4 The range of inputs is not disclosed, as there is a dispersion of values given the diverse nature of the investments.
d) Level 3 instruments: sensitivity to changes in unobservable input assumptions
The table below summarizes those financial assets and liabilities classified as Level 3 for which a change in one or more of the unobservable inputs to reflect reasonably possible alternative assumptions would change fair value significantly, and the estimated effect thereof.
The sensitivity data shown below presents an estimation of valuation uncertainty based on reasonably possible alternative values for Level 3 inputs at the balance sheet date and does not represent the estimated effect of stress scenarios. Typically, these financial assets and liabilities are sensitive to a combination of inputs from Levels 1–3. Although well-defined interdependencies may exist between Level 1 / 2 parameters and Level 3 parameters (e.g. between interest rates, which are generally Level 1 or Level 2, and prepayments, which are generally Level 3), these have not been incorporated in the table. Furthermore, direct interrelationships between the Level 3 parameters are not a significant element of the valuation uncertainty.

Sensitivity of fair value measurements to changes in unobservable input assumptions1
1 Sensitivity of issued and over-the-counter debt instruments is reported with the equivalent derivative or Other. 2 Sensitivity of funded derivatives is reported under equivalent derivatives.
e) Level 3 instruments: movements during the period
The table below presents additional information about material Level 3 assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Level 3 assets and liabilities may be hedged with instruments classified as Level 1 or Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy and, as a result, realized and unrealized gains and losses included in the table may not include the effect of related hedging activity. Furthermore, the realized and unrealized gains and losses presented in the table are not limited solely to those arising from Level 3 inputs, as valuations are generally derived from both observable and unobservable parameters.
Assets and liabilities transferred into or out of Level 3 are presented as if those assets or liabilities had been transferred on 1 January 2025.

1 In cases where derivative financial instruments are presented on a net basis on the balance sheet, the respective notional values of the netted derivative financial instruments are still presented on a gross basis. Notional amounts of client-cleared ETD and OTC transactions through central clearing counterparties are not disclosed, as they have a significantly different risk profile. 2 Other notional values relate to derivatives that are cleared through either a central counterparty or an exchange and settled on a daily basis. The fair value of these derivatives is presented on the balance sheet within Cash collateral receivables on derivative instruments and Cash collateral payables on derivative instruments. 3 Includes Loan commitments measured at FVTPL, as well as unsettled purchases and sales of non-derivative financial instruments for which the changes in the fair value between trade date and settlement date are recognized as derivative financial instruments. 4 Financial assets and liabilities are presented net on the balance sheet if UBS AG has the unconditional and legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts, both in the normal course of business and in the event of default, bankruptcy or insolvency of UBS AG or its counterparties, and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Information about provisions and contingent liabilities in respect of litigation, regulatory and similar matters, as a class, is included in Note 16b. There are no material contingent liabilities associated with the other classes of provisions.
b) Litigation, regulatory and similar matters
UBS operates in a legal and regulatory environment that exposes it to significant litigation and similar risks arising from disputes and regulatory proceedings. As a result, UBS is involved in various disputes and legal proceedings, including litigation, arbitration, and regulatory and criminal investigations. "UBS", "we" and "our", for purposes of this Note, refer to UBS AG and / or one or more of its subsidiaries, as applicable.
Such matters are subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome and the timing of resolution are often difficult to predict, particularly in the earlier stages of a case. There are also situations where UBS may enter into a settlement agreement. This may occur in order to avoid the expense, management distraction or reputational implications of continuing to contest liability, even for those matters for which UBS believes it should be exonerated. The uncertainties inherent in all such matters affect the amount and timing of any potential outflows for both matters with respect to which provisions have been established and other contingent liabilities. UBS makes provisions for such matters brought against it when, in the opinion of management after seeking legal advice, it is more likely than not that UBS has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required, and the amount can be reliably estimated. Where these factors are otherwise satisfied, a provision may be established for claims that have not yet been asserted against UBS, but are nevertheless expected to be, based on UBS's experience with similar asserted claims. If any of those conditions is not met, such matters result in contingent liabilities. If the amount of an obligation cannot be reliably estimated, a liability exists that is not recognized even if an outflow of resources is probable. Accordingly, no provision is established even if the potential outflow of resources with respect to such matters could be significant. Developments relating to a matter that occur after the relevant reporting period, but prior to the issuance of financial statements, which affect management's assessment of the provision for such matter (because, for example, the developments provide evidence of conditions that existed at the end of the reporting period), are adjusting events after the reporting period under IAS 10 and must be recognized in the financial statements for the reporting period.
Specific litigation, regulatory and other matters are described below, including all such matters that management considers to be material and others that management believes to be of significance to UBS due to potential financial, reputational and other effects. The amount of damages claimed, the size of a transaction or other information is provided where available and appropriate in order to assist users in considering the magnitude of potential exposures.
In the case of certain matters below, we state that we have established a provision, and for the other matters, we make no such statement. When we make this statement and we expect disclosure of the amount of a provision to prejudice seriously our position with other parties in the matter because it would reveal what UBS believes to be the probable and reliably estimable outflow, we do not disclose that amount. In some cases we are subject to confidentiality obligations that preclude such disclosure. With respect to the matters for which we do not state whether we have established a provision, either: (a) we have not established a provision; or (b) we have established a provision but expect disclosure of that fact to prejudice seriously our position with other parties in the matter because it would reveal the fact that UBS believes an outflow of resources to be probable and reliably estimable.
With respect to certain litigation, regulatory and similar matters for which we have established provisions, we are able to estimate the expected timing of outflows. However, the aggregate amount of the expected outflows for those matters for which we are able to estimate expected timing is immaterial relative to our current and expected levels of liquidity over the relevant time periods.
The aggregate amount provisioned for litigation, regulatory and similar matters as a class is disclosed in the "Provisions" table in Note 16a above. UBS provides below an estimate of the aggregate liability for its litigation, regulatory and similar matters as a class of contingent liabilities. Estimates of contingent liabilities are inherently imprecise and uncertain as these estimates require UBS to make speculative legal assessments as to claims and proceedings that involve unique fact patterns or novel legal theories, that have not yet been initiated or are at early stages of adjudication, or as to which alleged damages have not been quantified by the claimants. Taking into account these uncertainties and the other factors described herein, UBS estimates the future losses that could arise from litigation, regulatory and similar matters disclosed below for which an estimate is possible, that are not covered by existing provisions are in the range of USD 0bn to USD 3.1bn.
Litigation, regulatory and similar matters may also result in non-monetary penalties and consequences. A guilty plea to, or conviction of, a crime could have material consequences for UBS. Resolution of regulatory proceedings may require UBS to obtain waivers of regulatory disqualifications to maintain certain operations, may entitle regulatory authorities to limit, suspend or terminate licenses and regulatory authorizations, and may permit financial market utilities to limit, suspend or terminate UBS's participation in such utilities. Failure to obtain such waivers, or any limitation, suspension or termination of licenses, authorizations or participations, could have material consequences for UBS.

1. Inquiries regarding cross-border wealth management businesses
Tax and regulatory authorities in a number of countries have made inquiries, served requests for information or examined employees located in their respective jurisdictions relating to the cross-border wealth management services provided by UBS and other financial institutions. Credit Suisse offices in various locations, including the UK, the Netherlands, France and Belgium, have been contacted by regulatory and law enforcement authorities seeking records and information concerning investigations into Credit Suisse's historical private banking services on a crossborder basis and in part through its local branches and banks. The UK and French aspects of these issues have been closed. UBS is continuing to cooperate with the authorities.
Since 2013, UBS (France) S.A., UBS AG and certain former employees have been under investigation in France in relation to UBS's cross-border business with French clients. In connection with this investigation, the investigating judges ordered UBS AG to provide bail ("caution") of EUR 1.1bn.
In 2019, the court of first instance returned a verdict finding UBS AG guilty of unlawful solicitation of clients on French territory and aggravated laundering of the proceeds of tax fraud, and UBS (France) S.A. guilty of aiding and abetting unlawful solicitation and of laundering the proceeds of tax fraud. The court imposed fines aggregating EUR 3.7bn on UBS AG and UBS (France) S.A. and awarded EUR 800m of civil damages to the French state. A trial in the Paris Court of Appeal took place in March 2021. In December 2021, the Court of Appeal found UBS AG guilty of unlawful solicitation and aggravated laundering of the proceeds of tax fraud. The court ordered a fine of EUR 3.75m, the confiscation of EUR 1bn, and awarded civil damages to the French state of EUR 800m. UBS appealed the decision to the French Supreme Court. The Supreme Court rendered its judgment on 15 November 2023. It upheld the Court of Appeal's decision regarding unlawful solicitation and aggravated laundering of the proceeds of tax fraud, but overturned the confiscation of EUR 1bn, the penalty of EUR 3.75m and the EUR 800m of civil damages awarded to the French state. The case has been remanded to the Court of Appeal for a retrial regarding these overturned elements. The French state has reimbursed the EUR 800m of civil damages to UBS AG.
In May 2014, Credit Suisse AG entered into settlement agreements with the SEC, the Federal Reserve, and the New York Department of Financial Services and agreed with the US Department of Justice (the DOJ) to plead guilty to conspiring to aid and assist US taxpayers in filing false tax returns (the 2014 Plea Agreement). Credit Suisse continued to report to and cooperate with US authorities in accordance with its obligations under the 2014 Plea Agreement, including by conducting a review of cross-border services provided by Credit Suisse. In this connection, Credit Suisse provided information to US authorities regarding potentially undeclared US assets held by clients at Credit Suisse since the 2014 Plea Agreement. In May 2025, Credit Suisse Services AG entered into a plea agreement (the 2025 Plea Agreement) with the DOJ under which it agreed to plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to aid and assist in the preparation of false income tax returns relating to legacy Credit Suisse accounts booked in Credit Suisse's Swiss booking center, thereby settling the investigation into Credit Suisse's implementation of the 2014 Plea Agreement. In addition, Credit Suisse Services AG entered into a non-prosecution agreement with the DOJ (the 2025 NPA) relating to legacy Credit Suisse accounts booked in Credit Suisse's Singapore booking center. The 2025 Plea Agreement and the 2025 NPA provide for penalties, restitution and forfeiture of USD 511m in the aggregate. The 2025 Plea Agreement and the 2025 NPA include ongoing obligations of UBS to furnish information and cooperate with DOJ's investigations of legacy Credit Suisse accounts held by US persons in its Switzerland and Singapore booking centers and related accounts in other booking centers. In the second quarter of 2025, we recorded in our Non-core and Legacy division a USD 41m net increase in provisions, which included a new provision for the estimated costs of UBS's ongoing obligations with the DOJ.
Our balance sheet at 30 June 2025 reflected provisions in an amount that UBS believes to be appropriate under the applicable accounting standard. As in the case of other matters for which we have established provisions, the future outflow of resources in respect of such matters cannot be determined with certainty based on currently available information and accordingly may ultimately prove to be substantially greater (or may be less) than the provision that we have recognized.
2. Madoff
In relation to the Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC (BMIS) investment fraud, UBS AG, UBS (Luxembourg) S.A. (now UBS Europe SE, Luxembourg branch) and certain other UBS subsidiaries have been subject to inquiries by a number of regulators, including the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) and the Luxembourg Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier. Those inquiries concerned two third-party funds established under Luxembourg law, substantially all assets of which were with BMIS, as well as certain funds established in offshore jurisdictions with either direct or indirect exposure to BMIS. These funds faced severe losses, and the Luxembourg funds are in liquidation. The documentation establishing both funds identifies UBS entities in various roles, including custodian, administrator, manager, distributor and promoter, and indicates that UBS employees serve as board members.
In 2009 and 2010, the liquidators of the two Luxembourg funds filed claims against UBS entities, non-UBS entities and certain individuals, including current and former UBS employees, seeking amounts totaling approximately EUR 2.1bn, which includes amounts that the funds may be held liable to pay the trustee for the liquidation of BMIS (BMIS Trustee).
A large number of alleged beneficiaries have filed claims against UBS entities (and non-UBS entities) for purported losses relating to the Madoff fraud. The majority of these cases have been filed in Luxembourg, where decisions that the claims in eight test cases were inadmissible have been affirmed by the Luxembourg Court of Appeal, and the Luxembourg Supreme Court has dismissed a further appeal in one of the test cases.
In the US, the BMIS Trustee filed claims against UBS entities, among others, in relation to the two Luxembourg funds and one of the offshore funds. The total amount claimed against all defendants in these actions was not less than USD 2bn. In 2014, the US Supreme Court rejected the BMIS Trustee's motion for leave to appeal decisions, dismissing all claims against UBS defendants except those for the recovery of approximately USD 125m of payments alleged to be fraudulent conveyances and preference payments. Similar claims have been filed against Credit Suisse entities seeking to recover redemption payments. In 2016, the bankruptcy court dismissed these claims against the UBS entities and most of the Credit Suisse entities. In 2019, the Court of Appeals reversed the dismissal of the BMIS Trustee's remaining claims. The cases were remanded to the Bankruptcy Court for further proceedings.
3. Foreign exchange, LIBOR and benchmark rates, and other trading practices
Foreign-exchange-related regulatory matters: Beginning in 2013, numerous authorities commenced investigations concerning possible manipulation of foreign exchange markets and precious metals prices. As a result of these investigations, UBS entered into resolutions with Swiss, US and UK regulators and the European Commission. UBS was granted conditional immunity by the Antitrust Division of the DOJ and by authorities in other jurisdictions in connection with potential competition law violations relating to foreign exchange and precious metals businesses. In December 2021, the European Commission issued a decision imposing a fine of EUR 83.3m on Credit Suisse entities based on findings of anticompetitive practices in the foreign exchange market. Credit Suisse appealed the decision to the European General Court and, in July 2025, the court issued a judgment reducing the fine to EUR 28.9m. The European Commission is permitted to appeal the decision. UBS received leniency and accordingly no fine was assessed.
Foreign-exchange-related civil litigation: Putative class actions have been filed since 2013 in US federal courts and in other jurisdictions against UBS, Credit Suisse and other banks on behalf of persons who engaged in foreign currency transactions with any of the defendant banks. UBS and Credit Suisse have resolved US federal court class actions relating to foreign currency transactions with the defendant banks and persons who transacted in foreign exchange futures contracts and options on such futures. Certain class members have excluded themselves from that settlement and filed individual actions in US and English courts against UBS, Credit Suisse and other banks, alleging violations of US and European competition laws and unjust enrichment. UBS, Credit Suisse and the other banks have resolved those individual matters. In addition, Credit Suisse and UBS, together with other financial institutions, were named in a consolidated putative class action in Israel, which made allegations similar to those made in the actions pursued in other jurisdictions. Credit Suisse and UBS entered into agreements to settle all claims in this action in April 2022 and February 2024, respectively. Credit Suisse's settlement received court approval and became final in May 2025. UBS's settlement remains subject to court approval.
LIBOR and other benchmark-related regulatory matters: Numerous government agencies conducted investigations regarding potential improper attempts by UBS, among others, to manipulate LIBOR and other benchmark rates at certain times. UBS and Credit Suisse reached settlements or otherwise concluded investigations relating to benchmark interest rates with the investigating authorities. UBS was granted conditional leniency or conditional immunity from authorities in certain jurisdictions, including the Antitrust Division of the DOJ and the Swiss Competition Commission (WEKO), in connection with potential antitrust or competition law violations related to certain rates. However, UBS has not reached a final settlement with WEKO, as the Secretariat of WEKO has asserted that UBS does not qualify for full immunity.
LIBOR and other benchmark-related civil litigation: A number of putative class actions and other actions are pending in the federal courts in New York against UBS and numerous other banks on behalf of parties who transacted in certain interest rate benchmark-based derivatives. Also pending in the US and in other jurisdictions are a number of other actions asserting losses related to various products whose interest rates were linked to LIBOR and other benchmarks, including adjustable rate mortgages, preferred and debt securities, bonds pledged as collateral, loans, depository accounts, investments and other interest-bearing instruments. The complaints allege manipulation, through various means, of certain benchmark interest rates, including USD LIBOR, Yen LIBOR, EURIBOR, CHF LIBOR, and GBP LIBOR and seek unspecified compensatory and other damages under various legal theories.
USD LIBOR class and individual actions in the US: Beginning in 2013, putative class actions were filed in US federal district courts (and subsequently consolidated in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York (SDNY)) by plaintiffs who engaged in over-the-counter instruments, exchange-traded Eurodollar futures and options, bonds or loans that referenced USD LIBOR. The complaints allege violations of antitrust law and the Commodities Exchange Act, as well breach of contract and unjust enrichment. Following various rulings by the SDNY and the Second Circuit dismissing certain of the causes of action and allowing others to proceed, one class action with respect to transactions in over-the-counter instruments and several actions brought by individual plaintiffs are proceeding in the district court. UBS and Credit Suisse have entered into settlement agreements in respect of the class actions relating to exchange-traded instruments, bonds and loans. These settlements have received final court approval and the actions have been dismissed as to UBS and Credit Suisse. In addition, an individual action was filed in federal court in California against UBS, Credit Suisse and numerous other banks alleging that the defendants conspired to fix the interest rate used as the basis for loans to consumers by jointly setting the USD ICE LIBOR rate and monopolized the market for LIBOR-based consumer loans and credit cards. The court dismissed the initial complaint and subsequently dismissed an amended complaint with prejudice; the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit affirmed the dismissal. In June 2025, the US Supreme Court denied plaintiffs' petition to challenge the decisions of the lower courts.
Other benchmark class actions in the US: The Yen LIBOR/Euroyen TIBOR, EURIBOR and GBP LIBOR actions have been dismissed. Plaintiffs have appealed the dismissals.
In January 2023, defendants moved to dismiss the complaint in the CHF LIBOR action. In 2023, the court approved a settlement by Credit Suisse of the claims against it in this matter.
Government bonds: In 2021, the European Commission issued a decision finding that UBS and six other banks breached European Union antitrust rules between 2007 and 2011 relating to European government bonds. The European Commission fined UBS EUR 172m, which amount was confirmed on appeal in March 2025. UBS has appealed to the European Court of Justice.
Credit default swap auction litigation – In June 2021, Credit Suisse, along with other banks and entities, was named in a putative class action filed in federal court in New Mexico alleging manipulation of credit default swap (CDS) final auction prices. Defendants filed a motion to enforce a previous CDS class action settlement in the SDNY. In January 2024, the SDNY ruled that, to the extent claims in the New Mexico action arise from conduct prior to 30 June 2014, those claims are barred by the SDNY settlement. The plaintiffs appealed and, in May 2025, the Second Circuit affirmed the SDNY decision.
With respect to additional matters and jurisdictions not encompassed by the settlements and orders referred to above, UBS's balance sheet at 30 June 2025 reflected a provision in an amount that UBS believes to be appropriate under the applicable accounting standard. As in the case of other matters for which we have established provisions, the future outflow of resources in respect of such matters cannot be determined with certainty based on currently available information and accordingly may ultimately prove to be substantially greater (or may be less) than the provision that we have recognized.
4. Mortgage-related matters
Government and regulatory related matters: DOJ RMBS settlement – In January 2017, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (CSS LLC) and its current and former US subsidiaries and US affiliates reached a settlement with the DOJ related to its legacy Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (RMBS) business, a business conducted through 2007. The settlement resolved potential civil claims by the DOJ related to certain of those Credit Suisse entities' packaging, marketing, structuring, arrangement, underwriting, issuance and sale of RMBS. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement a civil monetary penalty was paid to the DOJ in January 2017. The settlement also required the Credit Suisse entities to provide certain levels of consumer relief measures, including affordable housing payments and loan forgiveness, and the DOJ and Credit Suisse agreed to the appointment of an independent monitor to oversee the completion of the consumer relief requirements of the settlement. In August 2025, CSS LLC entered into an agreement with the DOJ to resolve all of Credit Suisse's outstanding Consumer Relief Obligations under the 2017 settlement by paying USD 300m. UBS AG is fully provisioned for this settlement, which will not have a material effect on its financial statements for the third quarter of 2025.
Civil litigation: Repurchase litigations – Credit Suisse affiliates are defendants in various civil litigation matters related to their roles as issuer, sponsor, depositor, underwriter and/or servicer of RMBS transactions. These cases currently include repurchase actions by RMBS trusts and/or trustees, in which plaintiffs generally allege breached representations and warranties in respect of mortgage loans and failure to repurchase such mortgage loans as required under the applicable agreements. The amounts disclosed below do not reflect actual realized plaintiff losses to date. Unless otherwise stated, these amounts reflect the original unpaid principal balance amounts as alleged in these actions.
DLJ Mortgage Capital, Inc. (DLJ) is a defendant in New York State court in five actions: An action brought by Asset Backed Securities Corporation Home Equity Loan Trust, Series 2006-HE7 alleges damages of not less than USD 374m. In December 2023, the court granted in part DLJ's motion to dismiss, dismissing with prejudice all notice-based claims; the parties have appealed. An action by Home Equity Asset Trust, Series 2006-8, alleges damages of not less than USD 436m. An action by Home Equity Asset Trust 2007-1 alleges damages of not less than USD 420m.

5. ATA litigation
Since November 2014, a series of lawsuits have been filed against a number of banks, including Credit Suisse, in the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York (EDNY) and the SDNY alleging claims under the United States Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA) and the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act. The plaintiffs in each of these lawsuits are, or are relatives of, victims of various terrorist attacks in Iraq and allege a conspiracy and/or aiding and abetting based on allegations that various international financial institutions, including the defendants, agreed to alter, falsify or omit information from payment messages that involved Iranian parties for the express purpose of concealing the Iranian parties' financial activities and transactions from detection by US authorities. The lawsuits allege that this conduct has made it possible for Iran to transfer funds to Hezbollah and other terrorist organizations actively engaged in harming US military personnel and civilians. In January 2023, the Second Circuit affirmed a September 2019 ruling by the EDNY granting defendants' motion to dismiss the first filed lawsuit. In October 2023, the US Supreme Court denied plaintiffs' petition for a writ of certiorari. In February 2024, plaintiffs filed a motion to vacate the judgment in the first filed lawsuit. Of the other seven cases, four are stayed, including one that was dismissed as to Credit Suisse and most of the bank defendants prior to entry of the stay, and in three cases defendants moved to dismiss plaintiffs' amended complaints.
6. Customer account matters
Several clients have claimed that a former relationship manager in Switzerland had exceeded his investment authority in the management of their portfolios, resulting in excessive concentrations of certain exposures and investment losses. Credit Suisse AG has investigated the claims, as well as transactions among the clients. Credit Suisse AG filed a criminal complaint against the former relationship manager with the Geneva Prosecutor's Office upon which the prosecutor initiated a criminal investigation. Several clients of the former relationship manager also filed criminal complaints with the Geneva Prosecutor's Office. In February 2018, the former relationship manager was sentenced to five years in prison by the Geneva criminal court for fraud, forgery and criminal mismanagement and ordered to pay damages of approximately USD 130m. On appeal, the Criminal Court of Appeals of Geneva and, subsequently, the Swiss Federal Supreme Court upheld the main findings of the Geneva criminal court.
Civil lawsuits have been initiated against Credit Suisse AG and / or certain affiliates in various jurisdictions, based on the findings established in the criminal proceedings against the former relationship manager.

In Bermuda, in the civil lawsuit brought against Credit Suisse Life (Bermuda) Ltd., the Supreme Court of Bermuda issued a judgment awarding damages of USD 607.35m to the plaintiff. Credit Suisse Life (Bermuda) Ltd. appealed the decision. In June 2023, the Bermuda Court of Appeal confirmed the award and the Supreme Court of Bermuda's finding that Credit Suisse Life (Bermuda) Ltd. breached its contractual and fiduciary duties, but overturned the finding that Credit Suisse Life (Bermuda) Ltd. made fraudulent misrepresentations. In March 2024, Credit Suisse Life (Bermuda) Ltd. was granted leave to appeal the judgment to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council and a hearing on the appeal was held in June 2025. The Bermuda Court of Appeal also ordered that the current stay continue pending determination of the appeal on the condition that the damages awarded, plus interest calculated at the Bermuda statutory rate of 3.5%, remain in the escrow account.
In Switzerland, certain civil lawsuits have been commenced against Credit Suisse AG in the Court of First Instance of Geneva since March 2023.
7. Mozambique matter

(EMATUM), a distribution to private investors of loan participation notes (LPN) related to the EMATUM financing in September 2013, and certain Credit Suisse entities' subsequent role in arranging the exchange of those LPNs for Eurobonds issued by the Republic of Mozambique. In 2019, three former Credit Suisse employees pleaded guilty in the EDNY to accepting improper personal benefits in connection with financing transactions carried out with two Mozambique state enterprises.
In October 2021, Credit Suisse reached settlements with the DOJ, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and FINMA to resolve inquiries by these agencies, including findings that Credit Suisse failed to appropriately organize and conduct its business with due skill and care, and manage risks. Credit Suisse Group AG entered into a three-year Deferred Prosecution Agreement (DPA) with the DOJ in connection with the criminal information charging Credit Suisse Group AG with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and Credit Suisse Securities (Europe) Limited (CSSEL) entered into a Plea Agreement and pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to violate the US federal wire fraud statute. Under the terms of the DPA, UBS Group AG (as successor to Credit Suisse Group AG) continued compliance enhancement and remediation efforts agreed by Credit Suisse, and undertake additional measures as outlined in the DPA. In January 2025, as permitted under the terms of the DPA, the DOJ elected to extend the term of the DPA by one year.

In addition, the court seized certain client assets in the amount of approximately CHF 12m and ordered Credit Suisse AG to pay a compensatory claim in the amount of approximately CHF 19m. Credit Suisse AG appealed the decision to the Swiss Federal Court of Appeals. Following the merger of UBS AG and Credit Suisse AG, UBS AG confirmed the appeal. In November 2024, the court issued a judgment that acquitted UBS AG and annulled the fine and compensatory claim ordered by the first instance court. In February 2025, the court affirmed the acquittal of UBS AG, and the Office of the Attorney General has appealed the judgment to the Swiss Federal Supreme Court.

Note 17 Supplemental guarantor information
In 2015, the Personal & Corporate Banking and Wealth Management businesses booked in Switzerland were transferred from UBS AG to UBS Switzerland AG through an asset transfer in accordance with the Swiss Merger Act. Under the terms of the asset transfer agreement, UBS Switzerland AG assumed joint liability for contractual obligations of UBS AG existing on the asset transfer date, including the full and unconditional guarantee of certain SEC-registered debt securities issued by UBS AG. The joint liability of UBS Switzerland AG for contractual obligations of UBS AG increased in the first half of 2025 by USD 0.1bn to USD 2.7bn as of 30 June 2025. The increase reflected foreign currency effects, partly offset by contractual maturities and fair value movements.
UBS AG, together with UBS Group AG, has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the outstanding SEC-registered debt securities of Credit Suisse (USA), LLC, which as of 30 June 2025 consisted of a single outstanding issuance with a balance of USD 742m maturing in July 2032. Credit Suisse (USA), LLC is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of UBS AG. UBS AG assumed Credit Suisse AG's obligations under the guarantee as of 31 May 2024 (i.e. the date of the merger). In accordance with the guarantee, if Credit Suisse (USA), LLC fails to make a timely payment under the agreements governing such debt securities, the holders of the debt securities may demand payment from either UBS Group AG or UBS AG, without first proceeding against Credit Suisse (USA), LLC.
Comparison between UBS AG consolidated and UBS Group AG consolidated
The table below provides a comparison of selected financial and capital information of UBS AG consolidated and of UBS Group AG consolidated.
UBS AG and UBS Group AG both prepare consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. UBS Group AG has applied acquisition accounting as defined by IFRS 3, Business Combinations, to the acquisition of the Credit Suisse Group in 2023. The merger of UBS AG and Credit Suisse AG on 31 May 2024 has been accounted for as a business combination under common control, as defined in IFRS 3, using the historic carrying values of the assets and liabilities of Credit Suisse AG as at the date of the transaction (31 May 2024), determined under IFRS Accounting Standards. Therefore, differences exist between the accounting treatments applied at the UBS Group AG and UBS AG consolidated levels. There are also certain scope and presentation differences, as noted below.
› Refer to "Note 2 Accounting for the merger of UBS AG and Credit Suisse AG" in the "Consolidated financial statements" section of the UBS AG Annual Report 2024, available under "Annual reporting" at ubs.com/investors, for more information about the accounting for the merger of UBS AG and Credit Suisse AG
Assets, liabilities, revenues, operating expenses and tax expenses / (benefits) relating to UBS Group AG and its directly held subsidiaries, including UBS Business Solutions AG, are reflected in the consolidated financial statements of UBS Group AG but not in those of UBS AG. UBS AG's assets, liabilities, revenues and operating expenses related to transactions with UBS Group AG and its directly held subsidiaries, including UBS Business Solutions AG and other shared services subsidiaries, are not subject to elimination in the UBS AG consolidated financial statements, but are eliminated in the UBS Group AG consolidated financial statements.
In the second quarter of 2025, UBS AG consolidated recognized a net profit of USD 1,198m, while UBS Group AG consolidated recognized a net profit of USD 2,402m. The USD 1,205m difference was mainly due to certain purchase price allocation (PPA) effects recognized at the UBS Group AG level upon the acquisition of the Credit Suisse Group. These resulted in net accretion income at the UBS Group AG level, net of tax effects, whereas UBS AG has not applied acquisition accounting and does not have the PPA effects or the corresponding net income. The PPA effects also resulted in net releases for litigation, regulatory and similar matters for UBS Group AG (while UBS AG incurred net expenses). Other differences in net profit mainly arise as UBS Business Solutions AG and other shared services subsidiaries of UBS Group AG charge other legal entities within the UBS AG consolidation scope a markup on costs incurred for services provided.
As of 30 June 2025, the total assets of UBS AG consolidated were USD 1.8bn higher than the total assets of UBS Group AG consolidated. The difference mainly reflected PPA effects recognized at the UBS Group AG level upon the acquisition of the Credit Suisse Group, partly offset by consolidation scope differences. The total liabilities of UBS AG consolidated were USD 3.3bn lower than the total liabilities of UBS Group AG, mainly due to consolidation scope differences and PPA effects.
The equity of UBS AG consolidated was USD 5.2bn higher than the equity of UBS Group AG consolidated as of 30 June 2025. This difference was mainly due to PPA effects of USD 3.6bn recognized at the UBS Group AG level upon the acquisition of the Credit Suisse Group that did not impact UBS AG consolidated, primarily related to loans and loan commitments measured at amortized cost and contingent liabilities recognized under IFRS 3 for litigation, as well as consolidation scope differences of USD 1.4bn. The difference in the equity between the two scopes decreased by USD 4.4bn in the second quarter of 2025, mainly driven by the higher dividend paid by UBS AG to UBS Group AG compared with the dividend distribution of UBS Group AG.
The going concern capital of UBS AG consolidated was USD 3.2bn lower than the going concern capital of UBS Group AG consolidated as of 30 June 2025, reflecting the common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital of UBS AG being lower by USD 2.9bn and going concern loss-absorbing additional tier 1 (AT1) capital being USD 0.4bn lower. The USD 2.9bn lower CET1 capital of UBS AG consolidated was primarily due to a USD 12.9bn difference in dividend accruals between UBS AG and UBS Group AG, largely offset by UBS Group AG consolidated equity being USD 5.2bn lower, compensation-related regulatory capital accruals at the UBS Group AG level of USD 2.8bn, a capital reserve for expected future share repurchases of USD 2.0bn and a USD 0.5bn effect from eligible deferred tax assets on temporary differences.
The quarterly average liquidity coverage ratio (the LCR) of UBS AG consolidated was 2.9 percentage points lower than the quarterly average LCR of UBS Group AG consolidated. The difference mainly reflected the higher net cash outflows of UBS AG consolidated from intercompany deposits and loans that are not within the Group consolidation scope but are within the UBS AG consolidation scope.
The net stable funding ratio (NSFR) of UBS AG consolidated was 1.5 percentage points lower than the NSFR of UBS Group AG consolidated. The difference primarily reflected lower UBS AG consolidated eligible regulatory capital as compared to UBS Group AG consolidated.

Alternative performance measures
An alternative performance measure (an APM) is a financial measure of historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows other than a financial measure defined or specified in the applicable recognized accounting standards or in other applicable regulations. A number of APMs are reported in the discussion of the financial and operating performance of the external reports (annual, quarterly and other reports).

Cautionary statement regarding forward-looking statements | This report contains statements that constitute "forward-looking statements", including but not limited to management's outlook for UBS's financial performance, statements relating to the anticipated effect of transactions and strategic initiatives on UBS's business and future development and goals or intentions to achieve climate, sustainability and other social objectives. While these forward-looking statements represent UBS's judgments, expectations and objectives concerning the matters described, a number of risks, uncertainties and other important factors could cause actual developments and results to differ materially from UBS's expectations. In particular, the global economy may suffer significant adverse effects from increasing political tensions between world powers, changes to international trade policies, including those related to tariffs and trade barriers, and ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, as well as the continuing Russia–Ukraine war. UBS's acquisition of the Credit Suisse Group has materially changed its outlook and strategic direction and introduced new operational challenges. The integration of the Credit Suisse entities into the UBS structure is expected to continue through 2026 and presents significant operational and execution risk, including the risks that UBS may be unable to achieve the cost reductions and business benefits contemplated by the transaction, that it may incur higher costs to execute the integration of Credit Suisse and that the acquired business may have greater risks or liabilities than expected. Following the failure of Credit Suisse, Switzerland is considering significant changes to its capital, resolution and regulatory regime, which, if adopted, would significantly increase our capital requirements or impose other costs on UBS. These factors create greater uncertainty about forward-looking statements. Other factors that may affect UBS's performance and ability to achieve its plans, outlook and other objectives also include, but are not limited to: (i) the degree to which UBS is successful in the execution of its strategic plans, including its cost reduction and efficiency initiatives and its ability to manage its levels of risk-weighted assets (RWA) and leverage ratio denominator (LRD), liquidity coverage ratio and other financial resources, including changes in RWA assets and liabilities arising from higher market volatility and the size of the combined Group; (ii) the degree to which UBS is successful in implementing changes to its businesses to meet changing market, regulatory and other conditions; (iii) inflation and interest rate volatility in major markets; (iv) developments in the macroeconomic climate and in the markets in which UBS operates or to which it is exposed, including movements in securities prices or liquidity, credit spreads, currency exchange rates, residential and commercial real estate markets, general economic conditions, and changes to national trade policies on the financial position or creditworthiness of UBS's clients and counterparties, as well as on client sentiment and levels of activity; (v) changes in the availability of capital and funding, including any adverse changes in UBS's credit spreads and credit ratings of UBS, as well as availability and cost of funding to meet requirements for debt eligible for total loss-absorbing capacity (TLAC); (vi) changes in central bank policies or the implementation of financial legislation and regulation in Switzerland, the US, the UK, the EU and other financial centers that have imposed, or resulted in, or may do so in the future, more stringent or entity-specific capital, TLAC, leverage ratio, net stable funding ratio, liquidity and funding requirements, heightened operational resilience requirements, incremental tax requirements, additional levies, limitations on permitted activities, constraints on remuneration, constraints on transfers of capital and liquidity and sharing of operational costs across the Group or other measures, and the effect these will or would have on UBS's business activities; (vii) UBS's ability to successfully implement resolvability and related regulatory requirements and the potential need to make further changes to the legal structure or booking model of UBS in response to legal and regulatory requirements including heightened requirements and expectations due to its acquisition of the Credit Suisse Group; (viii) UBS's ability to maintain and improve its systems and controls for complying with sanctions in a timely manner and for the detection and prevention of money laundering to meet evolving regulatory requirements and expectations, in particular in the current geopolitical turmoil; (ix) the uncertainty arising from domestic stresses in certain major economies; (x) changes in UBS's competitive position, including whether differences in regulatory capital and other requirements among the major financial centers adversely affect UBS's ability to compete in certain lines of business; (xi) changes in the standards of conduct applicable to its businesses that may result from new regulations or new enforcement of existing standards, including measures to impose new and enhanced duties when interacting with customers and in the execution and handling of customer transactions; (xii) the liability to which UBS may be exposed, or possible constraints or sanctions that regulatory authorities might impose on UBS, due to litigation, contractual claims and regulatory investigations, including the potential for disqualification from certain businesses, potentially large fines or monetary penalties, or the loss of licenses or privileges as a result of regulatory or other governmental sanctions, as well as the effect that litigation, regulatory and similar matters have on the operational risk component of its RWA; (xiii) UBS's ability to retain and attract the employees necessary to generate revenues and to manage, support and control its businesses, which may be affected by competitive factors; (xiv) changes in accounting or tax standards or policies, and determinations or interpretations affecting the recognition of gain or loss, the valuation of goodwill, the recognition of deferred tax assets and other matters; (xv) UBS's ability to implement new technologies and business methods, including digital services, artificial intelligence and other technologies, and ability to successfully compete with both existing and new financial service providers, some of which may not be regulated to the same extent; (xvi) limitations on the effectiveness of UBS's internal processes for risk management, risk control, measurement and modeling, and of financial models generally; (xvii) the occurrence of operational failures, such as fraud, misconduct, unauthorized trading, financial crime, cyberattacks, data leakage and systems failures, the risk of which is increased with persistently high levels of cyberattack threats; (xviii) restrictions on the ability of UBS Group AG, UBS AG and regulated subsidiaries of UBS AG to make payments or distributions, including due to restrictions on the ability of its subsidiaries to make loans or distributions, directly or indirectly, or, in the case of financial difficulties, due to the exercise by FINMA or the regulators of UBS's operations in other countries of their broad statutory powers in relation to protective measures, restructuring and liquidation proceedings; (xix) the degree to which changes in regulation, capital or legal structure, financial results or other factors may affect UBS's ability to maintain its stated capital return objective; (xx) uncertainty over the scope of actions that may be required by UBS, governments and others for UBS to achieve goals relating to climate, environmental and social matters, as well as the evolving nature of underlying science and industry and the increasing divergence among regulatory regimes; (xxi) the ability of UBS to access capital markets; (xxii) the ability of UBS to successfully recover from a disaster or other business continuity problem due to a hurricane, flood, earthquake, terrorist attack, war, conflict, pandemic, security breach, cyberattack, power loss, telecommunications failure or other natural or man-made event; and (xxiii) the effect that these or other factors or unanticipated events, including media reports and speculations, may have on its reputation and the additional consequences that this may have on its business and performance. The sequence in which the factors above are presented is not indicative of their likelihood of occurrence or the potential magnitude of their consequences. UBS's business and financial performance could be affected by other factors identified in its past and future filings and reports, including those filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). More detailed information about those factors is set forth in documents furnished by UBS and filings made by UBS with the SEC, including the UBS Group AG and UBS AG Annual Reports on Form 20-F for the year ended 31 December 2024. UBS is not under any obligation to (and expressly disclaims any obligation to) update or alter its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
