Introduction and basis for preparation
Scope of Basel III Pillar 3 disclosures
The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (the BCBS) Basel III capital adequacy framework consists of three complementary pillars. Pillar 1 provides a framework for measuring minimum capital requirements for the credit, market, operational and non-counterparty-related risks faced by banks. Pillar 2 addresses the principles of the supervisory review process, emphasizing the need for a qualitative approach to supervising banks. Pillar 3 requires banks to publish a range of disclosures, mainly covering risk, capital, leverage, liquidity and remuneration.
This report provides Pillar 3 disclosures for the UBS Group, including the acquired Credit Suisse Group, and prudential key figures and regulatory information for UBS AG consolidated and standalone, UBS Switzerland AG standalone, UBS Europe SE consolidated, and UBS Americas Holding LLC consolidated, as well as Credit Suisse AG consolidated and standalone, Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG consolidated and standalone, Credit Suisse International standalone, and Credit Suisse Holdings (USA), Inc. consolidated in the respective sections under “Significant regulated subsidiaries and subgroups.”
This Pillar 3 Report has been prepared in accordance with Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) Pillar 3 disclosure requirements (FINMA Circular 2016/1 “Disclosure – banks”) as revised on 8 December 2021, the underlying BCBS guidance “Revised Pillar 3 disclosure requirements” issued in January 2015, the “Frequently asked questions on the revised Pillar 3 disclosure requirements” issued in August 2016, the “Pillar 3 disclosure requirements – consolidated and enhanced framework” issued in March 2017 and the subsequent “Technical Amendment – Pillar 3 disclosure requirements – regulatory treatment of accounting provisions” issued in August 2018.
As UBS is considered a systemically relevant bank (an SRB) under Swiss banking law, UBS Group AG, UBS AG, Credit Suisse AG and Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG are required to comply with regulations based on the Basel III framework as applicable to Swiss SRBs on a consolidated basis.
Local regulators may also require the publication of Pillar 3 information at a subsidiary or sub-group level. Where applicable, these local disclosures are provided under “Holding company and significant regulated subsidiaries and subgroups” atubs.com/investors.
Acquisition of the Credit Suisse Group
Impact of our acquisition of the Credit Suisse Group on Basel III Pillar 3 disclosures On 12 June 2023, UBS Group AG acquired Credit Suisse Group AG, succeeding by operation of Swiss law to all assets and liabilities of Credit Suisse Group AG, and became the direct or indirect shareholder of all of the former direct and indirect subsidiaries of Credit Suisse Group AG. In the second quarter 2023 Pillar 3 report we included the impacts of the acquisition of the Credit Suisse Group in the scope of UBS Group AG consolidated, and we included significant regulated subsidiaries and sub-groups related to Credit Suisse. In this fourth quarter 2023 Pillar 3 report, the comparative periods ended 30 September 2023 and 30 June 2023 therefore include the impact of the acquisition of the Credit Suisse Group, while comparative periods prior to those ended 30 June 2023 reflect information prior to the acquisition of the Credit Suisse Group, unless explicitly stated otherwise.
From the 30 June 2023 Pillar 3 report onward we have included the following disclosures as a result of the acquisition.
–CR10 – Specialized lending –SEC1 – Securitization exposures in the banking book –SEC2 – Securitization exposures in the trading book –SEC3 – Securitization exposures in the banking book and associated regulatory capital requirements – bank acting as
originator or as sponsor –SEC4 – Securitization exposures in the banking book and associated regulatory capital requirements – bank acting as investor –MR1 – Market risk under standardized approach –Significant regulated subsidiaries and sub-groups related to Credit Suisse ›Refer to the “Acquisition and integration of Credit Suisse” section and “Note 2 Accounting for the acquisition of the Credit Suisse Group” in the “Consolidated financial statements” section of the UBS Group Annual Report 2023, available under “Annual
reporting” atubs.com/investors, for more information
31 December 2023 Pillar 3 Report |UBS Group | Introduction and basis for preparation 2
Legal structure integration In December 2023, the Board of Directors of UBS Group AG approved the merger of UBS AG and Credit Suisse AG, and both entities entered into a definitive merger agreement. The completion of the merger is subject to regulatory approvals and is expected to occur by the end of the second quarter of 2024. We also expect to complete the transition to a single US intermediate holding company in the second quarter of 2024 and the planned merger of UBS Switzerland AG and Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG in the third quarter of 2024.
Completing the mergers of our significant legal entities is a critical step in enabling us to unlock the next phase of the cost, capital and funding synergies that we expect to realize in 2025 and 2026.These significant-legal-entity mergers are a pre-requisite for the first wave of client migrations and will enable us to begin streamlining and decommissioning legacy Credit Suisse platforms in the second half of 2024.
IFRS 3 measurement period adjustments in the third and fourth quarters of 2023 for the acquisition of the Credit Suisse Group UBS has reclassified certain loans and off-balance sheet loan commitments held by the newly established Non-core and Legacy business division to Measured at fair value through profit or loss in the third and fourth quarters of 2023. Refer to “Note 2 Accounting for the acquisition of the Credit Suisse Group” in the “Consolidated financial statements” section of the UBS Group Annual Report 2023, available under “Annual reporting” atubs.com/investors, for details on the
accounting treatment, and respective adjustments to prior reporting periods. Comparative periods for CET1 capital information and for Pillar 3 disclosures where we disclose IFRS Accounting Standards carrying values have been restated accordingly. We have applied the amended classification and measurement for leverage ratio denominator and riskweighted assets (RWA) calculation purposes prospectively from the third quarter and fourth quarter of 2023, i.e., from when they occurred.
Significant regulatory developments, disclosure requirements and other changes
Swiss Federal Council adopts amendments to the Capital Adequacy Ordinance In November 2023, the Swiss Federal Council adopted amendments to the Capital Adequacy Ordinance (the CAO) for banks to incorporate the final Basel III standards adopted by the BCBS in Swiss law. The amended CAO will enter into force on 1 January 2025. The final degree of alignment between the Swiss implementation and those in other jurisdictions remains uncertain at this stage. Although EU legislators target implementation by January 2025, the implementation timelines in the UK and the US have been delayed until July 2025. The Swiss Federal Department of Finance will inform the Swiss Federal Council about the status of international implementation by the end of July 2024. We currently estimate that the revised Basel III framework, including the Fundamental Review of the Trading Book, will lead to a further net increase in RWA of approximately USD 25bn, of which USD 10bn is in Non-core and Legacy. This estimate is based on static balances and on our current understanding of the relevant standards before taking into account mitigating actions and not reflecting the impact of the output floor, which is phased in over time. It may change as a result of new or updated regulatory interpretations, appropriate conservatism in model calibration, the implementation of Basel III standards into national law, changes in business growth, market conditions, and other factors. The core business-led reductions in RWA, coupled with the run-down of positions in Non-core and Legacy during 2024 and 2025, are expected to more than offset the effects of revised Basel III standards.
Financial Stability Board updates list of global systemically important banks In November 2023, the Financial Stability Board (the FSB) published the 2023 list of global systemically important banks (G-SIBs). UBS has been moved from Bucket 1 to Bucket 2, corresponding to an increased FSB common equity tier 1 capital surcharge requirement of 1.5% from 1.0%, effective from 1 January 2025. Credit Suisse has been removed from the list. As UBS is subject to higher requirements under the Swiss CAO, the change does not affect the capital requirements applicable to UBS.
Introduction of a public liquidity backstop in Switzerland In September 2023, the Swiss Federal Council adopted a dispatch and draft legislation on the introduction of a public liquidity backstop for systemically important banks (SIBs), which was initially implemented as part of the emergency ordinance of March 2023 (the Emergency Ordinance). The proposed legislative changes aim to establish the public liquidity backstop as part of ordinary law in order to enable the Swiss government and the Swiss National Bank (the SNB)
to support an SIB domiciled in Switzerland with liquidity in the process of resolution, in line with other financial centers.
The introduction of the public liquidity backstop is intended to increase the confidence of market participants in the ability of SIBs to be successfully recapitalized and remain solvent in a crisis. Furthermore, the draft legislation provides that SIBs will pay the Swiss Confederation an annual fee to mitigate a potential impact on competition and to compensate the Swiss Confederation for its guarantee to the SNB of the public liquidity backstop, if required.
In addition to the public liquidity backstop, the proposed legislative changes would enact into ordinary law additional provisions contained in the Emergency Ordinance, including mandated clawback of variable compensation in the event that government support is provided to an SIB.
The legislative changes are expected to come into force by January 2025, at the earliest, as in November 2023, the Swiss Parliament suspended discussions on the public liquidity backstop until the presentation of the Swiss Federal Council’s report on SIBs.
31 December 2023 Pillar 3 Report |UBS Group | Introduction and basis for preparation 3
Findings of the group of experts on banking stability In September 2023, a group of experts on banking stability, mandated by the Swiss Federal Department of Finance, published a report considering the role of banks and the legal and regulatory framework related to the stability of the Swiss financial center. The report concluded that Swiss capital regulation s are working as intended and that there is no need for a major revision. However, the report sees a need for reforms with regard to banking supervision and proposes that the relevant authorities be granted broader powers. Furthermore, the report suggests improvements regarding liquidity regulations, including a proposal to extend the supply of liquidity in the case of a crisis. The report also suggests that Swiss authorities should make improvements with regard to crisis preparation and management.
Revisions to the Swiss Liquidity Ordinance In the third quarter of 2023, FINMA communicated the liquidity requirements arising from the revisions to the Swiss Liquidity Ordinance, with the aim of strengthening the resilience of SIBs in Switzerland. The affected legal entities of the UBS Group are compliant with these requirements, which became effective on 1 January 2024.
Financial Stability Board Peer Review of Switzerland In February 2014, the FSB published its Peer Review of Switzerland, which examines Switzerland’s implementation of the FSB’s too-big-to-fail (TBTF) reforms for G-SIBs. The review states that although Swiss authorities have made important steps toward implementing an effective TBTF regime for G-SIBs, additional steps can be taken to further strengthen the Swiss TBTF framework. Recommendations include increasing supervisory resources, strengthening early intervention powers and enhancing the recovery and reso lution regime.
Significant BCBS consultation papers
Recalibration of shocks for interest rate risk in the banking book In December 2023, the BCBS issued a public consultation on proposed adjustments to its standard on interest rate risk in the banking book (IRRBB). The Committee proposes to make a set of adjustments to the specified interest rate shocks in the IRRBB standard, consistent with commitments in the standard to periodically update their calibration. It also proposes to make targeted adjustments to the current methodology used to calculate the shocks. These changes are needed to address problems with how the current methodology captures interest rate changes during periods when rates are close to zero.
Disclosure of climate-related financial risks In November 2023, the BCBS issued a public consultation paper on a Pillar 3 disclosure framework for climate-related financial risks. This work forms part of the BCBS’s holistic approach to address climate-related financial risks to the global banking system. The BCBS is analyzing how a Pillar 3 disclosure framework for climate-related financial risks would further its mandate to strengthen the regulation, supervision and practices of banks worldwide , with the purpose of enhancing financial stability, and the potential design of such a framework.
Other developments
Capital returns In 2023, we bought back USD 1.3bn of shares before we announced the acquisition of the Credit Suisse Group. In 2024, we plan to repurchase up to USD 1bn of our shares commencing after the completion of the merger of UBS AG and Credit Suisse AG. Our ambition is for share repurchases to exceed our pre-acquisition levels by 2026.
For 2023, the Board of Directors plans to propose a dividend to UBS Group AG shareholders of USD 0.70 per share.
Subject to approval at the Annual General Meeting, scheduled for 24 April 2024, the dividend will be paid on 3 May 2024 to shareholders of record on 2 May 2024. The ex-dividend date will be 30 April 2024.
Frequency and comparability of Pillar 3 disclosures
The table below summarizes the reporting frequency for each disclosure as per the current FINMA requirements applicable to UBS.
In line with the FINMA-specified disclosure frequency and requirements for disclosure with regard to comparative periods, we provide quantitative comparative information as of 30 September 2023 for disclosures required on a quarterly basis and as of 30 June 2023 for disclosures required on a semi-annual basis. Both these comparative periods include Credit Suisse information as a result of the aforementioned acquisition date on 12 June 2023. Where specifically required by FINMA and / or the BCBS, we disclose comparative information for additional reporting dates. Comparative periods prior to 30 June 2023 do not include information related to Credit Suisse, unless explicitly stated.
Where required, movement commentary is aligned with the corresponding disclosure frequency required by FINMA and
always refers to the latest comparative period. Throughout this report, signposts are displayed at the beginning of a
section, table or chart –Annual |Semi-annual |Quarterly |– indicating whether the disclosure is provided annually, semi-annually or
quarterly. A triangle symbol –ppp– indicates the end of the signpost.

Format of Pillar 3 disclosures
As defined by FINMA, certain Pillar 3 disclosures follow a fixed format, whereas other disclosures are flexible and may be modified to a certain degree to present the most relevant information. Pillar 3 requirements are presented under the relevant FINMA table / template reference (e.g., OVA, OV1, LI1, etc.). Pillar 3 disclosures may also include row labeling (1, 2, 3, etc.) as prescribed by FINMA. Naming conventions used in our Pillar 3 disclosures are based on FINMA guidance and may not reflect UBS naming conventions.
The FINMA-defined asset classes used within this Pillar 3 Report are as follows:
–Central governments and central banks, consisting of exposures relating to governments at the level of the nation
state and their central banks. The European Union is also treated as a central government.
–Banks and securities dealers, consisting of exposures to legal entities holding banking licenses and securities firms subject to adequate supervisory and regulatory arrangements, including risk-based capital requirements. Securities firms can only be assigned to this asset class if they are subject to a supervision equivalent to that of banks.
–Public-sector entities and multi-lateral development banks, consisting of exposures to institutions established on the basis of public law in different forms, such as administrative entities or public companies and regional governments, the Bank for International Settlements, the International Monetary Fund, and eligible multi-lateral development banks recognized by FINMA.
–Corporates: specialized lending, consisting of exposures relating to income-producing real estate and high-volatility commercial real estate, commodities finance, project finance, and object finance.
–Corporates: other lending, consisting of all exposures to corporates that are not specialized lending. This asset class includes private commercial entities, such as corporations, partnerships or proprietorships, insurance companies and funds (including managed funds).

Governance over Pillar 3 disclosures
The Board of Directors (the BoD) and senior management are responsible for establishing and maintaining an effective internal control structure over the disclosure of financial information, including Pillar 3 disclosures. In line with BCBS and FINMA requirements, we have a BoD-approved Pillar 3 disclosure governance policy in place, which includes information about the key internal controls and procedures designed to govern the preparation, review and sign-off of Pillar 3 disclosures. UBS’s Pillar 3 framework has been amended to take account of the Group structure post the acquisition of the Credit Suisse Group and will continue to be refined as the integration progresses. This Pillar 3 Report has been verified and approved in line with UBS’s Pillar 3 framework.
Risk management framework
Our Group-wide risk management framework is applied across all risk types. The table below presents an overview of risk management disclosures that are provided separately in the UBS Group Annual Report 2023, available under “Annual reporting” atubs.com/investors.

Our approach to measuring risk exposure and risk-weighted assets
Depending on the intended purpose, the measurement of risk exposure that we apply may differ. Exposures may be measured for financial accounting purposes under IFRS Accounting Standards for deriving our regulatory capital requirement or for internal risk management and control purposes. Our Pillar 3 disclosures are generally based on measures of risk exposure used to derive the regulatory capital required under Pillar 1. Our RWA are calculated according to the BCBS Basel III framework, as implemented by the Swiss Capital Adequacy Ordinance issued by the Swiss Federal Council and by the associated circulars issued by FINMA.
The table below provides a summary of the approaches we use for the main risk categories to determine the regulatory risk exposure and RWA.

Key metrics
Key metrics of the fourth quarter of 2023
Quarterly |The KM1 and KM2 tables below are based on Basel Committee on Banking Supervision Basel III rules. The KM2 table includes a reference to the total loss-absorbing capacity (TLAC) term sheet, published by the Financial Stability Board (the FSB). The FSB provides this term sheet atfsb.org/2015/11/total-loss-absorbing-capacity-tlac-principles-and-termsheet.
Our capital ratios increased, reflecting an increase in our common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital and an increase in our additional tier 1 (AT1) capital. Our leverage ratio decreased, reflecting an increase in the leverage ratio denominator (the LRD), partly offset by the increase in our tier 1 capital.
Our CET1 capital increased by USD 1.1bn to USD 78.5bn, mainly as the operating loss before tax of USD 0.8bn, dividend accruals of USD 0.8bn, amortization of transitional CET1 purchase price allocation (PPA) adjustments (interest rate and own credit) of USD 0.3bn (net of tax) and compensation- and own share-related components of USD 0.2bn were more than offset by positive effects from foreign currency translation of USD 1.6bn and an increase of USD 1.5bn in eligible deferred tax assets on temporary differences.
As part of the acquisition of the Credit Suisse Group, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including contingent liabilities, were recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date in accordance with IFRS 3,Business Combinations. The
PPA fair value adjustments required under IFRS 3 are recognized as part of negative goodwill and include effects on financial instruments measured at amortized cost, such as fair value impacts from interest rates and own credit, that are expected to accrete back to par through the income statement as the instruments are held to maturity. Similar owncredit-related effects have also been recognized as part of the PPA adjustments on financial liabilities measured at fair value. As agreed with the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA), a transitional CET1 capital treatment has been applied for certain of these fair value adjustments, given the substantially temporary nature of the IFRS-3accounting-driven effects. As such, equity reductions under IFRS Accounting Standards of USD 5.9bn (before tax) and USD 5.0bn (net of tax) as of the acquisition date have been neutralized for CET1 capital calculation purposes, of which USD 1.0bn (net of tax) relates to own-credit-related fair value adjustments. The transitional treatment is subject to linear amortization and will reduce to nil by 30 June 2027. In the fourth quarter of 2023, the amortization of transitional CET1 PPA adjustments (interest rate and own credit) was USD 0.3bn (net of tax).
Our tier 1 capital increased by USD 2.0bn to USD 92.4bn, reflecting the aforementioned increase in CET1 capital and an increase in AT1 capital of USD 0.9bn. The AT1 capital increase was mainly driven by two issuances of AT1 capital instruments of USD 3.5bn and positive impacts from interest rate risk hedge, foreign currency translation and other effects. These increases were partly offset by USD 3.0bn equivalent of AT1 capital instruments that ceased to be eligible as going concern capital when we issued notice of redemption of the instruments in the fourth quarter of 2023.
The TLAC available as of 31 December 2023 included CET1 capital, AT1 capital and non-regulatory capital elements of TLAC. Under the Swiss systemically relevant bank framework, including transitional arrangements, TLAC excludes 45% of the gross unrealized gains on debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income for accounting purposes, which for regulatory capital purposes are measured at the lower of cost or market value. This amount was negligible as of 31 December 2023 but is included as available TLAC in the KM2 table in this section.
Our available TLAC increased by USD 5.8bn to USD 199.5bn, driven by a USD 3.8bn increase in TLAC-eligible senior unsecured debt and the aforementioned increase in tier 1 capital. The increase in TLAC-eligible senior unsecured debt was mainly due to positive impacts from interest rate risk hedge, foreign currency translation and other effects, as well as the issuance of an aggregate of USD 0.3bn equivalent of TLAC-eligible senior unsecured debt. These increases were partly offset by the redemption of USD 2.2bn equivalent of TLAC-eligible senior unsecured debt.
During the fourth quarter of 2023, RWA were unchanged at USD 546.5bn, primarily as increases of USD 3.5bn from amounts below thresholds for deduction (250% risk weight) and USD 2.1bn from counterparty credit risk (CCR) RWA were partly offset by decreases of USD 2.7bn from market risk RWA, USD 1.6bn from equity positions under the simple risk-weight approach and USD 0.2bn from credit risk RWA. The remaining variance was spread across other risk types.
The leverage ratio denominator (the LRD) increased by USD 79.6bn to USD 1,695.4bn, driven by currency effects of USD 68.4bn and asset size and other movements of USD 11.1bn.
31 December 2023 Pillar 3 Report |UBS Group | Key metrics 13
The quarterly average liquidity coverage ratio (the LCR) of the UBS Group increased 19.1 percentage points to 215.7%, remaining above the prudential requirement communicated by FINMA. The movement in the average LCR was primarily driven by an increase in high-quality liquid assets (HQLA) of USD 48.1bn to USD 415.6bn, mostly driven by higher customer deposits and proceeds received from debt issuances and negative net new loans. The effect of the increase in average HQLA was partly offset by a USD 5.5bn increase in average net cash outflows, to USD 192.8bn. That increase was due to lower net inflows from securities financing transactions and lower inflows from lending assets, partly offset by lower outflows from debt issued.
As of 31 December 2023, the net stable funding ratio of the UBS Group increased 3.9 percentage points to 124.7%, remaining above the prudential requirement communicated by FINMA. Available stable funding increased by USD 53.7bn to USD 926.4bn, reflecting higher customer deposits, debt securities issued and regulatory capital. Required stable funding increased by USD 20.2bn to USD 743.2bn, predominantly reflecting higher trading and lending assets.

Overview of risk-weighted assets
Overview of RWA and capital requirements
Quarterly |The OV1 table below provides an overview of our risk-weighted assets (RWA) and the related minimum capital requirements by risk type. The table presented is based on the respective Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority
(FINMA) template and empty rows indicate current non-applicability to UBS.
During the fourth quarter of 2023, RWA were unchanged at USD 546.5bn, primarily as increases of USD 3.5bn from amounts below thresholds for deduction (250% risk weight) and USD 2.1bn from counterparty credit risk (CCR) RWA were partly offset by decreases of USD 2.7bn from market risk RWA, USD 1.6bn from equity positions under the simple risk-weight approach and USD 0.2bn from credit risk RWA. The remaining variance was spread across other risk types.
RWA from amounts below thresholds for deduction (250% risk weight) increased by USD 3.5bn, primarily due to an increase in deferred tax assets, mainly related to the recognition of previously unrecognized deferred tax assets on temporary differences in connection with our business planning process and an election to capitalize compensationrelated costs for US tax purposes. RWA related to investments in associates in the banking and financial industry were broadly unchanged, mainly as a decrease related to our investment in SIX Group was almost entirely offset by a reclassification of investment s in associates from the simple risk-weight approach to the line related to items subject to thresholds for deduction.
CCR RWA increased by USD 2.1bn, mainly driven by increases of USD 0.9bn related to currency effects, USD 0.7bn related to model updates and USD 0.7bn related to methodology and policy changes, partly offset by a decrease of USD 0.2bn related to asset size and other movements. Model updates resulted in an increase of USD 0.7bn, primarily related to an update to a model for securities financing transactions, partly offset by the recalibration of certain multipliers as a result of improvements to models. Methodology and policy changes resulted in an RWA increase of USD 0.7bn, due to a change in the treatment of a derivatives portfolio from the internal model-based approach to the standardized approach for counterparty credit risk.
Market risk RWA decreased by USD 2.7bn, primarily driven by a decrease of USD 2.9bn from asset size and other movements, partly offset by an increase of USD 0.3bn related to ongoing parameter updates of the value-at-risk (VaR)
models. FINMA approved the integration of time decay into regulatory VaR and stressed VaR, which went live on 12 January 2024.
Equity positions under the simple risk-weight approach decreased by USD 1.6bn, primarily due to the aforementioned reclassification of investments in associates to the line related to items subject to thresholds for deduction , as well as reductions in exposures.
Credit risk RWA decreased by USD 0.2bn, mainly driven by an increase of USD 12.6bn related to currency effects, partly offset by decreases of USD 11.4bn related to asset size and other movements and USD 1.4bn related to model updates.
Asset size and other movements decreased by USD 11.4bn, mainly driven by negative net new loans in Global Wealth Management and lower lending assets in Personal & Corporate Banking. Furthermore, the fourth quarter of 2023 included an RWA decrease on loans and loan commitments in Non-core and Legacy driven by actions to actively unwind the portfolio, in addition to the natural roll-off and nostro accounts in Group Items. Model updates resulted in a decrease of USD 1.4bn, primarily related to the recalibration of certain multipliers as a result of improvements to models.
The flow tables for credit risk, CCR and market risk RWA in the respective sections of this report provide further details regarding the movements in RWA in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Linkage between financial statements and regulatory
exposures
Annual |This section provides information about the differences between our regulatory exposures and carrying amounts presented in our financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. Assets and liabilities
presented in our IFRS Accounting Standards financial statements may be subject to more than one risk framework, as
explained further below.
LIA: Explanation of the differences between the IFRS Accounting Standards and regulatory scopes of
consolidation
The scope of consolidation for the purpose of calculating Group regulatory capital is generally the same as the
consolidation scope under IFRS Accounting Standards and includes subsidiaries that are directly or indirectly controlled
by UBS Group AG and are active in banking and finance. However, subsidiaries consolidated under IFRS Accounting
Standards whose business is outside the banking and finance sector are excluded from the regulatory scope of
consolidation. Subject to the regulatory auditor’s consent, a subsidiary fully consolidated under IFRS Accounting
Standards may be proportionately consolidated under the regulatory scope of consolidation on an exceptional basis provided that (i) the bank’s obligation to support the company subject to consolidation is limited to the bank’s own
holding quota and (ii) the remaining shareholders or partners are required to provide support in proportion to their
holding quota and are legally and financially able to fulfill their obligations. The key difference between the IFRS
Accounting Standards and regulatory scopes of consolidation as of 31 December 2023 relates to investments in
insurance, real estate and commercial companies, as well as investment vehicles, that are consolidated under IFRS
Accounting Standards but are either proportionately consolidated or not consolidated for regulatory capital purposes where they are subject to risk-weighting.
31 December 2023 Pillar 3 Report |UBS Group | Overview of risk-weighted assets 16
As of 31 December 2023, UBS Asset Management Life Ltd (total assets on a standalone basis as of 31 December 2023:
USD 15,959m; total equity on a standalone basis as of 31 December 2023: USD 29m) represented the most significant entity that was included in the IFRS Accounting Standards scope of consolidation but not in the regulatory scope of consolidation. This life insurance entity accounts for most of the difference between the “Balance sheet in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards scope of consolidation” and the “Balance sheet in accordance with regulatory scope of consolidation” columns in the CC2 table. The difference is mainly related to financial assets at fair value not held for trading and other financial liabilities designated at fair value. As of 31 December 2023, entities consolidated under either IFRS Accounting Standards or the regulatory scope of consolidation did not report any significant capital deficiencies.
In the banking book, certain equity investments are not consolidated under either the IFRS Accounting Standards or under the regulatory scope. As of 31 December 2023, these investments mainly consisted of infrastructure holdings and joint operations (e.g., settlement and clearing institutions, and stock and financial futures exchanges) and included our participation in SIX Group. These investments are risk-weighted based on applicable threshold rules.
More information about the legal structure of UBS Group and the IFRS Accounting Standards scope of consolidation is provided in the “Our evolution” section and in “Note 1 Summary of material accounting policies” in the “Consolidated financial statements” section, respectively, of the UBS Group Annual Report 2023, available under “Annual reporting” atubs.com/investors.p

Annual |The LI1 table below provides a breakdown of the IFRS Accounting Standards balance sheet into the risk types used
to calculate our regulatory capital requirements. Cash collateral receivables and payables on derivative instruments, derivative financial instruments and financial assets at fair value not held for trading are subject to capital requirements under both market risk and counterparty credit risk frameworks. In addition, other financial assets measured at amortized cost, financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income include securities that have been pledged as collateral. These securities are also considered in the counterparty credit risk framework, as collateral pledged is subject to counterparty credit risk. Foreign exchange risk in the banking book is captured by the market risk framework. Banking book positions with foreign exchange risk are not included in the column regarding market risk.

Regulatory exposures
Annual |The LI2 table below illustrates the key differences between regulatory exposure amounts and accounting carrying
amounts under the regulatory scope of consolidation. In addition to the accounting carrying amounts, the regulatory exposure amounts include:
–off-balance sheet amounts not related to derivatives and securities financing transactions (row 4);
–potential future exposure for derivatives, offset by eligible financial collateral deductions (row 6);
–effects from the model calculation of effective expected positive exposure applied to derivatives (row 6);
–any collateral mitigation through the application of the close-out period approach or the comprehensive measurement approach (row 7); and –effects of collateral mitigation in the banking book (row 8).

Credit risk
Introduction
Semi-annual |The parameters applied under the advanced internal ratings-based (A-IRB) approach are generally based on the
same methodologies, data and systems we use for internal credit risk quantification, except where certain treatments are specified by regulatory requirements. These include, for example, the application of regulatory prescribed floors and multipliers, and differences with respect to eligibility criteria and exposure definitions. The exposure information presented in this section may thus differ from our internal management view disclosed in the “Risk management and control” sections of the quarterly and annual reports. Similarly, the regulatory capital prescribed measure of credit risk exposure also differs from how it is defined under IFRS Accounting Standards.
Credit risk exposure categories The definitions of the Pillar 3 credit risk exposure categories “Loans” and “Debt securities” below as specified by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA), which are referred to in the “CR1: Credit quality of assets” and “CR3: Credit risk mitigation techniques – overview” tables in this section, provide a link to the IFRS Accounting Standards balance sheet structure.
31 December 2023 Pillar 3 Report |UBS Group | Linkage between financial statements and regulatory exposures 19
The Pillar 3 category “Loans” consists of financial instruments held with the intent to collect the contractual payments and includes the following IFRS Accounting Standards balances to the extent that they are subject to the credit risk framework:
–Balances at central banks;
–Loans and advances to banks;
–Loans and advances to customers;
–Other financial assets measured at amortized cost, excluding money market instruments, checks and bills, and other debt instruments;
–traded loans in the banking book that are included withinFinancial assets at fair value held for trading;
–Brokerage receivables;
–loans including structured loans that are included withinFinancial assets at fair value not held for trading;and –Other non-financial assets.
The Pillar 3 category “Debt securities” includes the following IFRS Accounting Standards balances to the extent that they are subject to the credit risk framework:
–money market instruments, checks and bills, and other debt instruments that are included withinOther financial assets measured at amortized cost;
–Financial assets at fair value held for trading, excluding traded loans;
–Financial assets at fair value not held for trading, excluding loans; and –Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.p

Semi-annual |The CR1 table below provides a breakdown of defaulted and non-defaulted loans, debt securities and offbalance sheet exposures. The table includes a split of expected credit loss (ECL) accounting provisions based on the
standardized approach and the internal ratings -based approach.
Increases in net carrying values of loans and decreases in net carrying values of debt securities, when compared with 30 June 2023, are explained in the CR3 table in this report. The net carrying value of off-balance sheet exposures decreased by USD 10.2bn to USD 117.7bn, primarily driven by a reduction in loan commitments and guarantees across businesses.

Compared with 30 June 2023, the carrying amount of unsecured loans increased by USD 42.2bn to USD 398.3bn, mainly due to higher balances at central banks driven by inflows from customer deposits, lending assets and net new issuances of long-term debt. Unsecured debt securities decreased by USD 2.3bn to USD 87.6bn, mainly due to movements in highquality liquid assets (HQLA).
The carrying amount of partially or fully secured loans increased by USD 5.1bn to USD 58 8.6bn, mainly as a result of currency effects in Personal & Corporate Banking.

Credit risk under the standardized approach
Introduction
Annual |The standardized approach is generally applied where using the A-IRB approach is not feasible. Under the
standardized approach we use, where possible, credit ratings from external credit assessment institutions (ECAIs) to determine the risk weightings applied to rated counterparties. We use three FINMA-recognized ECAIs to determine the risk weights for certain counterparties according to the BCBS-defined asset classes: S&P, Moody’s Investors Service and Fitch Ratings.
The mapping of external ratings to the standardized approach risk weights is determined by FINMA and published on its website. There were no changes in the ECAIs used compared with 31 December 2022.
Debt instruments are risk-weighted in accordance with the specific issue ratings available. If there is no specific issue rating published by an ECAI, the issuer rating is applied to the senior unsecured claims of that issuer subject to the conditions prescribed by FINMA. For the Retail, Equity and Other assets asset classes, we apply the regulatory prescribed risk weights independent of an external credit rating.

Credit risk exposure and credit risk mitigation effects
Semi-annual |The CR4 table below illustrates the credit risk exposure and effect of credit risk mitigation (CRM) on the calculation of capital requirements under the standardized approach.
Compared with 30 June 2023, exposures before credit conversion factors (CCF) and CRM in the Central governments
and central banks asset class increased by USD 19.8bn to USD 88.5bn, driven by increased balances at central banks.
Exposures post-CCF and post-CRM in the Banks and securities dealers asset class decreased by USD 1.9bn to USD 17.2bn.
RWA decreased by USD 0.6bn to USD 4.1bn, mainly driven by decreases in nostro accounts and high-quality liquid assets
(HQLA).
Exposures before CCF and CRM in the Corporates asset class increased by USD 1.4bn to USD 68.6bn and exposures post-
CCF and post-CRM increased by USD 1.7bn to USD 51.6bn, driven by increases in loans in Global Wealth Management

Credit risk under the advanced internal ratings-based approach
Annual |Under the advanced internal ratings-based (A-IRB) approach, the required capital for credit risk is quantified through
empirical models that we have developed to estimate the probability of default (PD), loss given default (LGD), exposure at default (EAD) and other parameters, subject to FINMA approval. The table below presents an overview of Pillar 3 disclosures that are provided separately in the UBS Group Annual Report 2023, available under “Annual reporting” at ubs.com/investors.

Semi-annual |The CR6 table below provides information about credit risk exposures under the A-IRB approach, including a breakdown of the main parameters used in A-IRB models to calculate the capital requirements, presented by portfolio and PD range across FINMA-defined asset classes. EAD in the following comments represents exposure at default post credit conversion factors and credit risk mitigation.
Compared with 30 June 2023, EAD increased by USD 22.6bn to USD 1,057.8bn, and RWA decreased by USD 5.4bn to USD 206.9bn across various asset classes.
In the Central governments and central banks asset class, EAD increased by USD 28.1bn to USD 281.4bn, and RWA increased by USD 0.3bn to USD 4.7bn. EAD increased primarily driven by higher cash and balances with central banks .
In the Banks and securities dealers asset class, EAD decreased by USD 3.3bn to USD 16.5bn, and RWA decreased by USD 1bn to USD 6.9bn. EAD decreased primarily driven by a decrease in our Nostro balance.
In the Public-sector entities and multi-lateral development banks asset class, EAD decreased by USD 0.1bn to USD 8.5bn, and RWA slightly decreased to USD 0.8bn.
In the Corporates: specialized lending asset class, EAD increased by USD 1.7bn to USD 63.0bn, and RWA increased by USD 0.1bn to USD 27.4bn. EAD increased primarily due to currency effects in Personal & Corporate Banking.
31 December 2023 Pillar 3 Report |UBS Group | Credit risk 29
In the Corporates: other lending asset class, EAD decreased by USD 11.0bn to USD 129.1bn, and RWA decreased by USD 8.6bn to USD 75.9bn. EAD decreased, primarily driven by a decrease in commercial loans in Non-core and Legacy.
In the Retail: residential mortgages asset class, EAD increased by USD 14.5bn to USD 311.6bn, and RWA increased by USD 4.5bn to USD 64.6bn. EAD and RWA increased, mainly reflecting currency effects and business growth in Personal & Corporate Banking and Global Wealth Management.
In the Retail: qualifying revolving retail exposures (QRRE) asset class, EAD increased by USD 1.8bn to USD 7.5bn, and RWA increased by USD 0.1bn to USD 1.4bn. EAD increased due to growth in the credit card business in Personal & Corporate Banking.
In the Retail: other retail asset class, EAD decreased by USD 9.1bn to USD 240.4bn, and RWA decreased by USD 0.8bn to USD 25.2bn, primarily driven by a decrease in Lombard loans in Global Wealth Management.

Credit derivatives used as CRM techniques
Semi-annual |Where credit derivatives are used as credit risk mitigation, the PD of the obligor is in general substituted with
the PD of the hedge provider. In addition, default correlation between the obligor and the hedge provider is taken into account through the double default approach. The impact of credit derivatives used as CRM techniques on advanced internal ratings-based (A-IRB) credit risk has been immaterial for past reporting periods and continued to be immaterial for this reporting period. Therefore , we have discontinued the disclosure of the “CR7: IRB – effect on RWA of credit derivatives used as CRM techniques” table, in line with FINMA Circular 2016/1, General principles of disclosure.p ›Refer to the “CCR6: Credit derivatives exposures” table in the “Counterparty credit risk” section of this report for notional and fair
value information about credit derivatives used as CRM

2Asset sizeMovements arising in the ordinary course of business, such as new transactions, sales and write-offs.
3Asset quality / CreditMovements resulting from changes in the underlying credit quality of counterparties. These are caused quality of counterpartiesby changes to risk parameters, e.g., counterparty ratings, LGD estimates or credit hedges.
4Model updatesMovements arising from the implementation of new models and from parameter changes to existing models. The RWA effect of model updates is estimated based on the portfolio at the time of the implementation of the change.
5Methodology and policyMovements due to methodological changes in calculations driven by regulatory policy changes, including revisions to existing regulations, new regulations and add-ons mandated by the regulator.
The effect of methodology and policy changes on RWA is estimated based on the portfolio at the time of the implementation of the change.
6Acquisitions and disposalsMovements as a result of disposal or acquisition of business operations, quantified based on the credit risk exposures as of the end of the quarter preceding a disposal or following an acquisition. Purchases and sales of exposures in the ordinary course of business are reflected underAsset size.
7Foreign exchangeMovements as a result of exchange rate changes of transaction currencies against the US dollar.

8OtherMovements due to changes that cannot be attributed to any other category.
RWA flow statements of credit risk exposures under the A-IRB approach
Quarterly |Credit risk RWA under the A-IRB approach increased by USD 0.2bn to USD 210.0bn during the fourth quarter of 2023. This balance includes credit risk under the A-IRB approach, as well as credit risk under the supervisory slotting approach.
Currency effects, driven by the weakening of the US dollar against other major currencies, resulted in an RWA increase of USD 11.0bn.
Movements in asset quality, including changes in risk density across the overall portfolio, decreased RWA by USD 9.7bn, mainly due to an improvement across the lending portfolios in the Global Wealth Management and Personal & Corporate Banking, driven by the active reduction of higher risk density exposures, as well as due to actions to actively unwind the Non-core and Legacy portfolio.
Movements in asset size increased RWA by USD 0.3bn, mainly due to an increase in mortgage loans, primarily in Global Wealth Management, as well as higher balances with central banks. This was partly offset by a reduction in loans and loan commitments to corporates in Non-core and Legacy.
Model updates decreased RWA by USD 1.4bn, primarily driven by RWA decreases of USD 1.7bn related to the recalibration of certain multipliers as a result of improvements to models.

Backtesting
Annual |The following tables provide backtesting data to validate the reliability of PD calculations for all Pillar 1 PD models that are approved by FINMA for UBS Group. Separate tables
are provided for UBS Group excluding Credit Suisse and for Credit Suisse. Refer to the “Key features of our main credit risk models” table under “Credit risk models” in the “Risk management and control” section of the UBS Group Annual Report 2023, available under “Annual reporting” atubs.com/investors, for more information. The estimated PDs are forward-looking average PDs at the beginning of the respective twelve-month period. These are compared with the simple average of historical default rates. More information about backtesting of credit models is provided under “Backtesting” in the “Risk management and control” section of the UBS Group Annual Report 2023, available under “Annual reporting” atubs.com/investors.

Equity exposures
Semi-annual |The table below provides information about our equity exposures under the simple risk-weight method.
Compared with 30 June 2023, RWA from equity positions under the simple risk-weight approach decreased by USD 2.0bn to USD 5.5bn, primarily due to a reclassification of investments in associates from the simple risk-weight approach to exposures subject to thresholds for deduction as well as reductions in exposures.

Counterparty credit risk
Introduction
Semi-annual IThis section provides information about the exposures subject to the Basel III counterparty credit risk (CCR)
framework. CCR arises from over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives and exchange-traded derivatives (ETDs), securities financing transactions (SFTs), and long settlement transactions. We determine the regulatory credit exposure on the majority of our derivatives portfolio by applying the internal model method (EEPE). For the rest of the derivatives portfolio we apply the standardized approach for counterparty credit risk (SA-CCR). For the majority of SFTs we determine the regulatory credit exposure using the value-at-risk (VaR) approach. For the rest of the SFTs portfolio we apply the comprehensive approach for credit risk mitigation (CRM).p

Counterparty credit risk exposure
Semi-annual IThe CCR1 table below presents the methods used to calculate CCR exposure. Compared with 30 June 2023,
derivative exposures subject to the internal model method decreased by USD 7.7bn, mainly driven by a methodology change resulting in the increased use of the standardized approach for counterparty credit risk in the Non-core and Legacy portfolio along with market-driven movements, mainly in the Investment Bank. SFT exposures under the comprehensive approach decreased by USD 4.7bn, primarily due to lower levels of client activity in the Investment Bank, as well as the increased use of the repo VaR model.

Semi-annual |The CCR2 table below presents the credit valuation adjustment (CVA) capital charge with a breakdown by
standardized and advanced approaches. In addition to the default risk capital requirements for CCR on derivatives, we add a CVA capital charge to cover the risk of mark-to-market losses associated with the deterioration of counterparty credit quality. The advanced CVA VaR approach has been used to calculate the CVA capital charge for the majority of derivatives. Where this is not feasible, the standardized CVA approach has been used.
Compared with 30 June 2023, CVA risk-weighted assets (RWA) decreased by USD 0.5bn to USD 8.8bn. In the fourth quarter of 2023, USD 4.9bn of exposure at default (EAD) on derivatives subject to the standardized approach for counterparty credit risk and USD 1.3bn of RWA were reclassified from advanced CVA to standardized CVA, better aligning the CVA capital treatment across the Group. The RWA impact will be phased in over the fourth quarter of 2023 and the first quarter of 2024.| CCR2: Credit valuation adjustment (CVA) capital charge | | | | | | |

Semi-annual |We have discontinued the disclosure of the “CCR3: Standardized approach – CCR exposures by regulatory
portfolio and risk weights” table, starting with the 31 December 2022 Pillar 3 Report, on the grounds of materiality. The majority of our CCR exposures are subject to advanced internal ratings-based (A-IRB) risk weights or disclosed separately when related to central counterparties. Our CCR exposures subject to standardized risk weights amounted to USD 8.1bn.

Semi-annual |The CCR4 table below provides a breakdown of the key parameters used for the calculation of capital requirements under the A-IRB approach across Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA)-defined asset
classes. EAD in this section represents exposure at default post credit risk mitigation.
Compared with 30 June 2023, EAD decreased by USD 7.1bn to USD 117.3bn across the various asset classes, and RWA remained unchanged at USD 36.2bn.
In the Central governments and central banks asset class, EAD increased by USD 3.0bn to USD 12.8bn, mainly as a result of increased exposures in SFTs in Group Items, predominantly reflecting net new excess cash reinvestment trades. RWA slightly decreased to USD 0.7bn.
In the Banks and securities dealers asset class, EAD decreased by USD 0.9bn to USD 31.2bn, and RWA decreased by USD 0.1bn to USD 8.7bn, primarily driven by lower derivative exposures in Group Items.
In the Public-sector entities and multi-lateral development banks asset class, EAD increased by USD 0.4bn to USD 1.0bn, mainly due to an increase in derivative exposures in the Investment Bank. RWA remained unchanged at USD 0.1bn.
In the Corporates: including specialized lending asset class, EAD decreased by USD 8.7bn to USD 64.2bn, primarily due to exposure decreases in SFTs and foreign exchange derivatives in the Investment Bank. RWA increased by USD 0.1bn to USD 25.7bn.
In the Retail: other retail asset class, EAD decreased by USD 0.8bn to USD 8.1bn, and RWA decreased by USD 0.1bn to USD 0.9bn, mainly due to a decrease in derivative exposures in Personal & Corporate Banking.

Quarterly |The CCR7 table below presents a flow statement explaining changes in CCR RWA determined under the internal model method (the IMM) for derivatives and the VaR approach for SFTs.
CCR RWA on derivatives under the IMM decreased by USD 2.0bn to USD 17.3bn during the fourth quarter of 2023.
Methodology and policy updates resulted in a decrease of USD 1.4bn, mainly due to a change in the treatment of a derivatives portfolio from the internal model -based approach to the standardized approach. Asset quality movements contributed to an RWA decrease of USD 0.9bn, mainly due to an improvement in the risk density of clients in the Investment Bank. Model updates resulted in a decrease of USD 0.7bn, primarily related to the recalibration of certain multipliers as a result of improvements to models. These decreases were partly offset by increases of USD 0.5bn due to foreign exchange movements and USD 0.4bn from asset size movements.
CCR RWA on SFTs under the VaR approach increased by USD 2.2bn to USD 11.0bn during the fourth quarter of 2023.
The RWA increase of USD 2.1bn from asset quality movements was primarily due to an increase in the risk density of clients in the Investment Bank. An update to the VaR model resulted in an increase of USD 1.4bn. These increases were partly offset by a decrease of USD 1.5bn from asset size movements, primarily due to lower client activity levels in the Investment Bank.

The exposures for non-segregated initial margin (refer to line 8 for QCCPs and line 18 for non-QCCPs), i.e., not bankruptcy-remote in accordance with FINMA Circular 2017/7, reflect the replacement costs under SA-CCR multiplied by an alpha factor of 1.4. The RWA reflect the exposure multiplied by the applied risk weight of derivatives. Under SA-CCR, collateral posted to a segregated, bankruptcy-remote account does not increase the value of replacement costs. 3 Excludes unfunded default fund contributions that are not subject to RWA calculations in line with regulatory guidance.

Comparison of A-IRB approach and standardized
approach for credit risk
Background
Annual |In accordance with current prudential regulations, the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) has
approved our use of the internal model approach (also referred to as the advanced internal ratings-based (A-IRB)
approach) for calculating the required capital for the majority of our credit risk and counterparty credit risk exposures, with the standardized approach used for only a relatively small proportion of credit exposures.
On 12 June 2023, UBS Group AG acquired Credit Suisse Group AG. Upon legal close, we have applied existing UBS prudent risk management practices and escalation protocols to material risks of Credit Suisse. UBS and Credit Suisse continue to rely on their respective established governance and risk control framework. RWA calculations are based on the applicable rules and models approved by FINMA for the respective legal entities. This section provides an overview of the differences between the approved internal models and the standardized approach.
The principal differences between the internal models and the standardized approach are based on the current standardized approach rules, without consideration of the material revisions announced by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (the BCBS) in December 2017 and expected to go live on 1 January 2025.
We believe the A-IRB approach adequately captures economic risks and is paramount for the appropriate representation of the capital requirements related to risk-taking activities. Within a strong risk control framework, in combination with robust stress-testing practices, strict risk limits, as well as leverage and liquidity requirements, the internal model approach promotes a proactive risk culture, setting the right incentives to prudently manage risks.
›Refer to the “Acquisition and integration of Credit Suisse” and the “Risk management and control” sections of the UBS Group Annual Report 2023, available under ”Annual reporting” atubs.com/investors, for more information.
Key methodological differences between internal model approach and standardized approach Methodological differences primarily arise due to the measurement of exposure at default (EAD) and the risk weights applied. In both cases, the treatment of credit risk mitigation, such as collateral, can have a significant effect. In line with the BCBS objectives, the internal model approach aims to balance the maintaining of prudent levels of capital while encouraging, where appropriate, the use of advanced risk management techniques.
EAD measurement The model-based approaches to derive estimates of EAD for derivatives and securities financing transactions (SFTs) reflect the detailed characteristics of individual transactions. They model the range of possible exposure outcomes across all transactions within the same legally enforceable netting set at various future time points. The modeling assesses the net amount that may be owed to UBS or that UBS may owe to others, taking into account the effect of correlated market moves over the potential time it may take to close out a position. The calculation considers current market conditions and is therefore sensitive to deteriorations in the market environment.
In contrast, EAD for derivatives under the regulatory -prescribed standardized approach for counterparty credit risk (SA- CCR) rules is based on market values at the balance sheet date plus conservative add-ons to account for potential market movements for derivatives. For SFTs, EAD under the standardized approach is based on the market values at balance sheet date less eligible financial collateral, subject to regulatory-prescribed haircuts.The standardized approach gives limited recognition to netting benefits and portfolio effects and is generally less risk-sensitive than the internal modelbased approaches.
Off-balance sheet items are converted into credit exposure equivalents by use of credit conversion factors (CCFs). CCFs can be modeled or based on standardized approaches; modeled CCFs can be more tailored and differentiated .
Risk weights Under the internal model approach, the maturity of a transaction, internal estimates of the probability of default (PD)
and the loss given default (LGD) are used as inputs to the risk-weight formula for calculating RWA. Under the standardized approach, risk weights are less granular and are driven by ratings provided by external credit assessment institutions (ECAIs).
The following chart shows standardized approach risk weights and model-based (A-IRB) risk weights for loans of varying maturity. The graphs are plotted for an AA-rated corporate senior unsecured loan with an LGD of 45% (consistent with Foundation-IRB, F-IRB). The graphs show that standardized approach risk weights are not sensitive to maturity, whereas A-IRB risk weights are sensitive to maturity. In particular, under A-IRB, lower maturity loans receive lower risk weights, reflecting an increased likelihood of repayment for loans with a shorter maturity.

Comparison of the internal model approach EAD and leverage ratio denominator by asset class The following table shows the internal model-based EAD, along with the average risk weight, compared with an estimate of the exposure measure used in the leverage ratio calculation. The LRD estimates exclude exposures subject to market risk, non-counterparty-related risk and standardized approach credit risk to provide a like-for-like comparison with the internal model-based EAD. As expected, the LRD estimates exceed internal model-based EAD for banks and corporates.
The main methodological difference is that LRD estimates do not consider physical or financial collateral, guarantees or other credit risk mitigation techniques to reduce the credit risk. LRD estimates also do not fully reflect netting and portfolio diversification.| Comparison of A-IRB approach EAD and leverage ratio denominator by asset class | | | | |

Comparison of the internal model approach, standardized approach and LRD by asset class The key differences between the internal model approach, standardized approach and LRD per asset class are discussed below. For the IRB risk weight curve, an exemplary LGD value of 45% and an effective maturity of 2.5 years are applied in the graphs, as these are generic BCBS F-IRB parameters .
Central governments and central banks, Public-sector entities, and Multi-lateral development banks The regulatory net EAD for central governments and central banks, public-sector entities, and multi-lateral development banks as of 31 December 2023 was USD 304bn under the A-IRB approach. Since the vast majority of our exposure is driven by exposures to banking products, the LRD is broadly in line with the A-IRB net EAD and we would expect a similar amount under the standardized approach .
The following graph shows the risk weights assigned to counterparties under the A-IRB approach and the standardized approach. The graph shows that counterparties in the AAA to A– range (based on external ratings) would attract lower risk weights (0% and 20%) under the standardized approach than under the A-IRB approach. This is applicable to the majority of the Group’s exposures.
Furthermore, the Group’s exposure weighted-average maturity of its central governments portfolio under the A-IRB approach is lower than the F-IRB value of 2.5 years applied in the graph, resulting in a lower actual model-based risk weight curve. In addition, the mapping of the external rating ranges (S&P) to the internal PD ranges as shown in the graph is consistent with the Group’s PD masterscale.
Banks and securities dealers The “Comparison of A-IRB approach EAD and leverage ratio denominator by asset class” table above shows that the EAD for banks and securities dealers under the internal model approach as of 31 December 2023 was USD 48bn. The exposures calculated under the leverage ratio are significantly higher than the EAD computed using internal models. This is because CRM, netting and portfolio diversification are not reflected in the leverage ratio exposure calculation. The EAD for banks and securities dealers calculated under the standardized approach is significantly higher than the model-based exposures, primarily driven by the EAD on derivatives and SFTs. This is because the standardized approach does not fully recognize the benefits of netting, portfolio diversification and collateral.
31 December 2023 Pillar 3 Report |UBS Group | Comparison of A-IRB approach and standardized approach for credit risk 64
In addition to the effects of the exposure calculation , credit risk RWA under the standardized approach are higher, due to the higher applicable risk weights. The exposure weighted-average risk weight under the internal model approach is 33%. The following graph shows the risk weights assigned to counterparties under the A-IRB approach and the standardized approach. The graph shows that counterparties in the AAA to BBB+ range (based on external ratings) attract higher risk weights (20% and 50%) under the standardized approach than under the A-IRB approach. Approximately three-quarters of the Group’s exposures fall in this range (based on internal ratings), leading to higher RWA under the standardized approach for these counterparties.
Corporates The “Comparison of A-IRB approach EAD and leverage ratio denominator by asset class” table above shows that the EAD for corporates computed under the internal model approach as of 31 December 2023 was USD 260bn. The exposure calculated under the leverage ratio is higher than the EAD computed using internal models. This is because credit risk mitigation, netting and portfolio diversification are not reflected in the leverage ratio exposure calculation.
The EAD for corporates under the standardized approach is significantly higher than the model-based exposures, primarily due to derivatives and SFTs. For these products, exposures calculated under the standardized approach are higher, because the standardized approach does not fully recognize the benefits of netting, portfolio diversification and collateral.
In addition to the effects of the exposure calculation, credit risk RWA under the standardized approach are higher due to the higher applicable risk weights. The exposure weighted-average risk weight under the internal model approach is 51%. The following graph shows the risk weights assigned to counterparties under the A-IRB approach and the standardized approach. For counterparties in the AAA to BB+ range (based on external ratings), higher risk weights (20%, 50% and 100%) are assigned under the standardized approach than under the A-IRB approach. For the corporate asset class, approximately three-quarters of the Group’s exposures are in this range (based on internal ratings), leading to higher RWA under the standardized approach.
Retail The retail portfolio consists of residential mortgage loans, Lombard lending and other retail exposures, and further analysis of the key portfolios is provided below. The EAD of the retail asset class under the internal model approach as of 31 December 2023 was USD 568bn, which is comparable with the EAD calculated under the LRD and the standardized approach. This is because the majority of retail exposure is on-balance sheet exposure. The exposure weighted-average risk weight for the retail asset class is 16% using the internal model approach. This is lower than the risk weights assigned to counterparties under the standardized approach. The maturity of the loan has no impact on the modeled risk weights in the retail asset class.
31 December 2023 Pillar 3 Report |UBS Group | Comparison of A-IRB approach and standardized approach for credit risk 65
Residential mortgages Under the standardized approach, fixedrisk weights are applied to residential mortgage exposures, depending on the LTV, i.e., a risk weightof 100% for LTV > 80%, a risk weight of 75% for 80% > LTV >67%, and a risk weight of 35% for LTV < 67%. The internal model-basedapproach considers borrowers’ abilityto service debt more accurately, including mortgage affordabilityand calibration based on historic data. The Group’sresidential mortgage portfolio is focused on the Swiss market andthe Group has robust review processes concerning borrowers’ ability torepay. This results in the Group’s residential mortgage portfoliohaving a low average LTV and results in an average risk weight of21% under the A-IRB approach.
Lombard For Lombard lending, the average risk weight using internal models is 9%. The risk weight under the standardized approach would be higher for these exposures primarily due to the differences in the treatment of collateral.
Conclusion
Credit risk RWA computed under the internal model approach provides a more risk-sensitive picture of the credit risk capital requirements and is more reflective of the economic risk of the Group. The use of models produces a strong link between capital requirements and business drivers and promotes a proactive risk culture and strong capital requirements awareness within the firm. A rigorous monitoring and control framework also ensures compliance with internal and regulatory standards.p
Securitizations
SECA: Introduction
Annual |This section provides details of traditional and synthetic securitization exposures in the banking and trading book based on the BaselIII securitization framework.
In a traditional securitization a pool of loans (or other debt obligations) is typically transferred to structured entities that have been established to own the pool and to issue tranched securities to third-party investors referencing this pool of loans. In a synthetic securitization legal ownership of securitized pools of assets is typically retained, but associated credit risk is transferred to structured entities, typically through guarantees, credit derivatives or credit-linked notes. In both traditional and synthetic securitizations risk is dependent on the seniority of the retained interest and the performance of the underlying asset pool.
SECA: Objectives, roles and involvement
Securitization in the banking book UBS is active in various roles in relation to securitization activity, including originator, investor and sponsor, mainly via our Non-core and Legacy and Investment Banking business divisions. We plan to exit the exposures in Non-core and Legacy in near-to-mid term. Securitization exposures in the banking book are aimed at releasing capital and reducing or limiting risk by securitizing the underlying assets.
As originator, we create or purchase financial assets (e.g., commercial mortgages or corporate loans), and then securitize them in a traditional or synthetic transaction that achieves significant risk transfer to third party investors. As an investor, we have both securitization and re-securitization transactions in the banking book referencing different types of underlying assets, predominantly real estate loans (commercial and residential).
Securitization in the trading book Securitizations held in the trading book are part of trading activities, including market-making and client facilitation.
These holdings may also result from the retention of certain securitization positions held as an investor, including from securitizations we may have originated or sponsored. In the trading book, securitization and re-securitization positions are measured at fair value, reflecting market prices where available, or based on our internal pricing models.
Type of structured entities and affiliated entities involved in securitization transactions For securitization transactions, the type of structured entities or special purpose vehicles employed is selected as appropriate based on the type of transaction undertaken. Examples include limited liability companies, common law trusts and depositor entities.

Managing and monitoring of the credit and market risk ofsecuritizationpositions Banking book securitization portfolio is subject to risk monitoring, which may include interest rate and credit spread sensitivity analysis, as well as inclusion in firm-wide stress test metrics.
Trading book securitization positions are subject to multiple risk limits, such as management value-at-risk (VaR) and stress limits, as well as market value limits. However, regulatory VaR excludes credit spread risks from the securitization portfolio, which are treated instead under the securitization approach for regulatory purposes.
›Refer to the “Risk management and control” section of the UBS Group Annual Report 2023, available under ”Annual reporting” at ubs.com/investors, for more information about management and monitoring of credit and market risk
Accounting policies Refer to “Consolidation and related policies” in “Note1 Summary of material accounting policies” in the “Consolidated financial statements” section of the UBS Group Annual Report 2023, available under ”Annual reporting” at ubs.com/investors, for information about accounting policies that relate to securitization activities.
Regulatory capital treatment of securitization structures For banking book securitizations, the regulatory capital requirements are calculated using the following hierarchy of approaches: the securitization internal ratings-based approach, the securitization external ratings-based approach or the securitization standardized approach. Otherwise, a 1,250% risk weight is applied as a fallback. External ratings used in regulatory capital calculations for securitization risk exposures in the banking book are obtained from Fitch, Moody’s, S&P or DBRS.
For trading book securitizations, the regulatory capital requirements are calculated using a ratings-based approach, the
supervisory formula approach or the weighted-average risk-weight approach.p
Securitization exposures in the banking and trading books
Semi-annual |The SEC1 and SEC2 tables show the balance sheet carrying values of securitization exposures in the banking
and trading books as of 31 December 2023 and 30 June 2023, respectively. The securitization activity is further broken down by role (originator, sponsor or investor) and by securitization type (traditional or synthetic). For synthetic securitization transactions, the amounts disclosed reflect the securitization exposure retained by us. The SEC3 and SEC4 tables provide the regulatory capital requirements associated with the banking book securitization exposures differentiated by our role in the securitization.
Development of securitization exposures in the second half of 2023 Compared with 30 June 2023, securitization exposures in the banking book decreased by USD 7.3bn to USD 56.7bn, mainly driven by an accelerated roll-off arising from our actions to actively unwind the portfolio, in addition to natural roll-off, in Non-core and Legacy .
Compared with 30 June 2023, securitization exposures in the trading book decreased by USD 0.4bn to USD 0.2bn, with a corresponding RWA decrease of USD 0.6bn, mainly in Non-core and Legacy, in traditional wholesale exposures where the firm acts as an investor.

Market risk
Overview
Semi-annual |The amount of capital required to underpin market risk in the regulatory trading book is calculated using a
variety of methods approved by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA). The components contributing to market risk risk-weighted assets (RWA) are value-at-risk (VaR), stressed value-at-risk (SVaR), an add-on for risks that are potentially not fully modeled in VaR (risks not in VaR, or RniV), the incremental risk charge (the IRC) and the securitization framework for securitization positions in the trading book.p
Annual |The table below presents an overview of Pillar 3 disclosures separately provided in the UBS Group Annual Report
2023, available under “Annual reporting” atubs.com/investors.

Securitization positions in the trading book
Semi-annual |The MR1 table below shows the components of RWA under the standardized approach for market risk. In line with regulatory requirements, the standardized approach for market risk is used for the specific risk on securitization
exposures.
Securitization exposures in the trading book is the only relevant disclosure component of market risk under the standardized approach. Compared with 30 June 2023, securitization exposures subject to market risk RWA decreased by USD 0.6bn to USD 0.5bn as of 31 December 2023, primarily due to reduction in traditional wholesale exposures to corporates or SMEs in Non-core and Legacy.

Market risk risk-weighted assets
In this section, regulatory VaR, stressed VaR and VaR backtesting are presented separately for UBS Group excluding Credit Suisse and Credit Suisse, as the VaR methodologies differ. Market risk RWA is disclosed in a combined manner for UBS Group AG.
Market risk RWA development in the fourth quarter of 2023
Quarterly |The three main components that contribute to market risk RWA are regulatory VaR, stressed VaR (SVaR) and the incremental risk charge (the IRC). The VaR and SVaR components include the RWA charge for risks not in VaR (RniV).
The MR2 table below provides a breakdown of the movement in market risk RWA in the fourth quarter of 2023 under an internal model approach across those components, pursuant to the movement categories defined by the BCBS. These categories are described below.p

5Acquisitions andMovements due to the disposal or acquisition of business operations, quantified based on the market risk disposalsexposures at the end of the quarter preceding a disposal or following an acquisition. Purchases and sales of exposures in the ordinary course of business are reflected in “Movement in risk levels.”
6Foreign exchangeMovements due to changes in exchange rates. Note that the effect of movements in exchange rates is movementscaptured in “Movement in risk levels,” since exchange rate movements are part of the effects of market movements on risk levels.
7OtherMovements due to changes that cannot be attributed to any other category.
RWA flow statements of market risk exposures
Quarterly |Market risk RWA decreased by USD 2.2bn to USD 20.9bn in the fourth quarter of 2023, driven by a decrease in
asset size and other movements, partly offset by an increase related to ongoing parameter updates of the VaR models.
FINMA approved the integration of time decay into regulatory VaR and stressed VaR, which went live on 12 January 2024.
The FINMA VaR multiplier derived from backtesting exceptions for market risk RWA was unchanged compared with the prior quarter, at 3.0, for both the UBS Group excluding Credit Suisse and Credit Suisse.

Regulatory calculation of market risk
Semi-annual |The MR3 table below shows the minimum, maximum, average and period-end regulatory VaR, SVaR, incremental risk charge (IRC) and comprehensive risk capital charge. The comprehensive risk charge has not been
applicable since 2019, which was the last time UBS had eligible correlation trading positions.
During the second half of 2023, for the UBS Group excluding Credit Suisse, regulatory VaR, SVaR and IRC were relatively stable on average.
For Credit Suisse, regulatory VaR and SVaR decreased on average, mainly driven by continued strategic migration of positions to UBS and de-risking within Non-core and Legacy .| | UBS Group excluding Credit Suisse | | | | | Credit Suisse | | |

Value-at-risk
VaR definition
Annual |VaR is a statistical measure of market risk, quantifying the potential market risk losses over a set time horizon (holding period) at an established level of confidence. VaR assumes no change in the Group’s trading positions over the set time horizon.
›Refer to “Market risk” in the “Risk management and control” section of the UBS Group Annual Report 2023, available under
“Annual reporting” atubs.com/investors, for more information about VaR p
Derivation of VaR- and SVaR-based RWA
Annual |VaR and SVaR are used to derive the VaR and SVaR components of the market risk Basel III RWA. This calculation
takes the maximum of the respective period-end VaR measure and the product of the average VaR measure for the 60 business days immediately preceding the period end and a VaR multiplier set by FINMA. The VaR multiplier, which was 3.0 as of 31 December 2023 for both UBS Group excluding Credit Suisse and Credit Suisse, is dependent upon the number of VaR backtesting exceptions within a 250-business-day window. When the number of exceptions is greater than four, the multiplier increases gradually from 3.0 to a maximum of 4.0 if ten or more backtesting exceptions occur.
This is then multiplied by a risk weight factor of 1,250% to determine RWA. This calculation is set out in the table below.
Figures shown below exclude the effects of the time decay add-on which is applied to the market risk RWA calculation for the UBS Group excluding Credit Suisse.| VaR- and SVaR-based RWA | | | | | | | |

MR4: Comparison of VaR estimates with gains / losses
Semi-annual |VaR backtesting is a performance measurement process in which a 1-day VaR prediction is compared with the
realized 1-day profit or loss. We compute backtesting VaR using a 99% confidence level and 1-day holding period. Since 99% VaR at UBS is defined as a risk measure that operates on the lower tail of the profit-or-loss distribution, 99% backtesting VaR is a negative number. Backtesting revenues exclude non-trading revenues, such as valuation reserves, fees and commissions, and revenues from intraday trading, to provide for a like-for-like comparison. A backtesting exception occurs when backtesting revenues are lower than the previous day’s backtesting VaR.
Statistically, given the 99% confidence level, two or three backtesting exceptions a year can be expected. More than four exceptions could indicate that the VaR model is not performing appropriately, as could too few exceptions over a long period. However, as noted under “VaR limitations” in the “Risk management and control” section of the UBS Group Annual Report 2023, available under “Annual reporting” atubs.com/investors, a sudden increase (or decrease) in market
volatility relative to the lookback window could lead to a higher (or lower) number of exceptions. Therefore, backtesting exceptions are investigated, as are exceptionally positive backtesting revenues, with the results reported to senior business management, the Chief Risk Officer and the Chief Market Risk Officer. Internal and external auditors and relevant regulators are also informed of backtesting exceptions.
The “Development of regulatory backtesting revenues and actual trading revenues against backtesting VaR” charts below show the 12-month development of backtesting VaR against the backtesting revenues and actual trading revenues for 2023.
31 December 2023 Pillar 3 Report |UBS Group | Market risk 78
The actual trading revenues include backtesting and intraday revenues.
For the UBS Group excluding Credit Suisse, there were no new VaR negative backtesting exceptions in the second half of 2023, and the total number of negative backtesting exceptions within the most recent 250-business-day window decreased to zero from one. As these backtesting exceptions remained below five, the FINMA VaR multiplier used to compute regulatory and stressed VaR RWA was unchanged at 3.0 throughout the period.
For Credit Suisse, there was one new negative backtesting exception in the second half of 2023, and the total number of negative backtesting exceptions within the most recent 250-business-day window increased to three from one by the end of 2023. As these backtesting exceptions remained below five, the FINMA VaR multiplier used to compute regulatory and stressed VaR RWA was unchanged at 3.0 throughout the period.

Risks not in VaR
Risks not in VaR definition
Annual |We have a framework to identify and quantify potential risks that are not entirely captured by our VaR model. We refer to these as risks not in VaR (RniV). This framework is used to underpin these potential risks with additional regulatory capital.
A VaR model can be split into two components: the profit-or-loss representation and the risk factor model. This gives rise to two RniV categories: profit-or-loss representation RniV and risk factor RniV. Profit-or-loss representation RniV arise from approximations made by the VaR model to quantify the effect of risk factor changes on the profit and loss of positions and portfolios. Risk factor RniV originate from an inadequate modeling of the stochastic behavior of the risk factors.
Risks not in VaR quantification We quantify RniV capital requirements on a monthly basis. For UBS Group excluding Credit Suisse, the RniV quantification is conducted on the basis of a quantitative approach that applies to both categories of RniV: profit-or-loss representation RniV and risk factor RniV. For Credit Suisse, specific RniV models have been developed to compute capital associated with individual risks not captured by the firm’s VaR model.
Risks not in VaR mitigation Material RniV items are monitored and controlled by means and measures other than VaR, such as position limits and stress limits. Additionally, there are ongoing initiatives to extend the VaR model to better capture these risks.
Derivation of RWA add-on for risks not in VaR The RniV framework is used to derive the RniV-based component of the market risk Basel III RWA, using the aforementioned approach. RWA from RniV are add-ons, they do not reflect any diversification benefits across risks capitalized through VaR and SVaR.
For UBS Group excluding Credit Suisse, the RNIV regulatory capital is calculated as a multiple of VaR and SVaR capital.
FINMA requires that RniV stressed VaR capital is floored at RniV VaR capital in this calculation. The RniV VaR and SVaR capital ratios applicable as of 31 December 2023 were 78% and 82%, respectively. The period-end RWA shown below does not include the time decay add-on.| RniV-based RWA | | | |

Incremental risk charge
IRC is the potential loss due to the defaulting or credit migration of issuers of non-securitized credit instruments in the trading book. IRC is calculated as the portfolio loss at the 99.9th percentile of the portfolio loss distribution over a oneyear time horizon. It uses a multi-factor model applying the constant position assumption for all positions in the IRC portfolio. This means that all positions are kept unchanged over a one-year time period.
The portfolio loss distribution is estimated using a Monte-Carlo simulation approach. The simulation is performed in two steps: first, the distribution of credit ratings (including the defaulted state) at the one-year time horizon is estimated by a portfolio rating migration model; and, second, default and migration losses conditional on credit events generated by the migration model are calculated and aggregated.
31 December 2023 Pillar 3 Report |UBS Group | Market risk 80
The portfolio rating migration model is of the Merton type: migrations of credit ratings are considered to be functions of the underlying asset value of a firm. The correlation structure of asset values is based on the FIS APT factor model in the case of the UBS Group excluding Credit Suisse model, and an in-house latent factor technique is employed for the Credit Suisse model, with factor loadings and volatilities homogenized within region / industry / size buckets. For the government bucket, the Credit Suisse model uses the same asset correlation methodology calibrated to sovereign credit default swap (CDS) data, and the UBS Group excluding Credit Suisse model employs a conservative expert-based correlation value. The transition matrix approach is utilized to set migration and default thresholds. The transition matrix for sovereign obligors is calibrated to the history of S&P sovereign ratings. The migration probabilities for non-sovereigns are calibrated to the history of internal ratings for the UBS Group excluding Credit Suisse model and to the history of S&P ratings for the Credit Suisse model. The probability of default for non-sovereigns makes use of Masterscale PDs.
For each position related to a defaulted obligor, default losses are calculated based on a random recovery concept. To capture potential basis risk between instruments, the model accounts for different recovery values for different instruments even if they belong to the same issuer. To calculate rating migration losses, the UBS Group excluding Credit Suisse model employs a linear (delta) approximation, while for the Credit Suisse model a revaluation approach is used. A loss resulting from a migration event is calculated relative to the change in the average credit spread due to the rating change.
The validation of the IRC model relies heavily on sensitivity analyses embedded into the annual model reconfirmation.
Derivation of IRC-based RWA IRC is calculated weekly and the results are used to derive the IRC-based component of the market risk Basel III RWA.
The derivation is similar to that for VaR - and SVaR-based RWA, but without a VaR multiplier, and is shown below.

Economic value and net interest income sensitivity The interest rate risk sensitivity figures presented in the IRRBB1 table below represent the effect of six interest rate scenarios defined by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) on the economic value of equity (EVE), which represents the present value of future cash flows related to the banking book irrespective of accounting treatment.
EVE sensitivity excludes any modeled duration assigned to equity, goodwill, real estate and, as prescribed by FINMA, also excludes additional tier 1 (AT1) capital instruments that otherwise would be included under general Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) guidance.
As of 31 December 2023, the “Parallel up” scenario was the most severe and would have resulted in a change in EVE of negative USD 5.7bn, or 6.1% of our tier 1 capital (31 December 2022: negative USD 4.6bn, or 7.9%), which is well below the 15% threshold as per the BCBS supervisory outlier test for higher levels of interest rate risk in the banking book. The immediate effect on our tier 1 capital in the “Parallel up” scenario as of 31 December 2023 would have been a decrease of USD 0.9bn, or 0.9% (31 December 2022: USD 0.4bn or 0.6%), reflecting the fact that the vast majority of our banking book is accrual accounted or subject to hedge accounting. The “Parallel up” scenario would subsequently have a positive effect on net interest income, assuming a constant balance sheet and a constant product mix.
UBS also applies granular internal interest rate shock scenarios to its banking book positions to monitor the banking book’s specific risk profile.
The more adverse of the two parallel interest rate scenarios with regard to net interest income (NII) over the next 12 months was the “Parallel down” scenario, resulting in a potential change of negative USD 3.2bn.

1 Disclosure of NII sensitivity is only required for the two parallel shock scenarios. The NII sensitivity estimates reflect the impact of immediate changes in interest rates, relative to constant rates, and assume no change to balance sheet size and structure, constant foreign exchange rates and no specific management action. 2 Rates across all tenors move by ±150 bps for Swiss franc, ±200 bps for euro and US dollar and ±250 bps for pound sterling. 3 Short-term rates decrease and long-term rates increase. 4 Short-term rates increase and long-term rates decrease. 5 Short-term rates increase more than long-term rates. 6 Short-term rates decrease more than long-term rates. 7 “Maximum” indicates the most adverse interest rate scenario as shown in the table. 8 Both current and previous year delta NII figures are reported as per new SNB guidance on interest rate risk report and include NII due to cash held at central banks.

As of their first call date, these instruments are eligible to meet the gone concern requirements. 5 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. 6 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-on). 7 As of July 2024, FINMA will have the authority to impose a surcharge of up to 25% of the total going concern capital requirements should obstacles to an SIB’s resolvability be identified in future resolvability assessments. 8 Includes applicable add-ons of 1.08% for RWA and 0.38% for LRD.

Prudent valuation adjustments
Annual |The PV1 table below provides a breakdown of prudent valuation adjustments to common equity tier 1 capital.
These adjustments are incremental to those made under IFRS Accounting Standards, which include adjustments for
liquidity and model uncertainty, as well as credit, funding and debit valuation adjustments.
Instruments that are measured as part of a portfolio of combined long and short positions are valued at mid-market levels in an effort to ensure consistent valuation of the long and short component risks. A liquidity valuation adjustment is then made to the overall net long or short exposure to move the fair value to bid or offer, as appropriate, reflecting current market liquidity levels.
Uncertainties associated with the use of model-based valuations are incorporated into the measurement of fair value through the use of model reserves. These reserves reflect the amounts that the Group estimates should be deducted from valuations produced directly by models to incorporate uncertainties in the relevant modeling assumptions, in the model and market inputs used, or in the calibration of the model output to adjust for known model deficiencies.
In an effort to ensure compliance with the prudent valuation requirements, UBS has established systems, controls and governance around the valuation of positions measured at fair value.
As of 31 December 2023, the prudent valuation adjustment had increased by USD 167m to USD 368m compared with the prior year. This was primarily driven by the acquisition of the Credit Suisse Group, which resulted in an increase of USD 191m. Excluding that acquisition, the prudent valuation adjustment decreased by USD 23m, primarily driven by reduced exposure and tighter credit spreads.

Total loss-absorbing capacity
Resolution group – composition of total loss-absorbing capacity
Semi-annual |The TLAC1 table below is based on Basel Committee on Banking Supervision rules and only applicable to UBS Group AG as the ultimate parent entity of the defined UBS resolution group, to which, in case of resolution,
resolution tools (e.g., a bail-in) are expected to be applied.
In the second half of 2023, our eligible additional tier 1 (AT1) instruments increased by USD 0.9bn, mainly driven by two
issuances of AT1 capital instruments of USD 3.5bn and positive impacts from interest rate risk hedge, foreign currency
translation and other effects. These increases were partly offset by USD 3.0bn equivalent of AT1 capital instruments that
ceased to be eligible as going concern capital when we issued notice of redemption of the instruments in the second
half of 2023.
Non-regulatory capital instruments increased by USD 4.4bn, mainly due to eight new issuances of USD 4.8bn equivalent
of TLAC-eligible senior unsecured debt instruments, as well as positive impacts from interest rate risk hedge, foreign
currency translation and other effects, partly offset by the redemption of USD 3.5bn equivalent of TLAC-eligible senior
unsecured debt.| TLAC1: TLAC composition for G-SIBs (at resolution group level) | | | | |

Semi-annual |The TLAC3 table below provides an overview of the creditor ranking structure of the resolution entity, UBS Group AG, on a standalone basis.
UBS Group AG issues loss-absorbing AT1 capital instruments and TLAC-eligible senior unsecured debt.
UBS Group AG grants Deferred Contingent Capital Plan (DCCP) awards to UBS Group employees, which qualify as Basel III AT1 capital on a UBS Group consolidated basis and totaled USD 1,935m as of 31 December 2023 (30 June 2023:
USD 1,912m). The related liabilities of UBS Group AG on a standalone basis of USD 1,412m (30 June 2023: USD 1,298m)
are not included in the table below, as these do not give rise to any current claims until the awards are legally vested .
As of 31 December 2023, the TLAC available on a UBS Group AG consolidated basis amounted to USD 199,484m
(30 June 2023: USD 194,863m).

Leverage ratio
Basel III leverage ratio
Quarterly |The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (the BCBS) leverage ratio, as summarized in the “KM1: Key metrics“ table in section 2 of this report, is calculated by dividing the period-end tier 1 capital by the period-end leverage ratio
denominator (the LRD).
The LRD consists of on-balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet items based on IFRS Accounting Standards. Derivative exposures are adjusted for a number of items, including replacement values and eligible cash variation margin netting, the current exposure method add-on for potential future exposure and net notional amounts for written credit derivatives.
The LRD also includes an additional charge for counterparty credit risk related to securities financing transactions (SFTs).
The table below shows the difference between IFRS Accounting Standards total assets per the consolidation scope under IFRS Accounting Standards and the BCBS total on-balance sheet exposures. Those exposures are the starting point for calculating the BCBS LRD, as shown in the LR2 table in this section. The difference is due to the application of the regulatory scope of consolidation for the purpose of the BCBS calculation. In addition, carrying amounts for derivative financial instruments and SFTs are deducted from IFRS Accounting Standards total assets. They are measured differently under BCBS leverage ratio rules and are therefore added back in separate exposure line items in the LR2 table.
31 December 2023 Pillar 3 Report |UBS Group | Total loss-absorbing capacity 93
Difference between the Swiss SRB and BCBS leverage ratio
The LRD is the same under Swiss systemically relevant bank (SRB) and BCBS rules. However, there is a difference in the capital numerator between the two frameworks. Under BCBS rules only common equity tier 1 and additional tier 1 capital are included in the numerator. Under Swiss SRB rules UBS is required to meet going and gone concern leverage ratio requirements. Therefore, depending on the requirement, the numerator includes tier 1 capital instruments, tier 2 capital instruments and / or total loss-absorbing capacity-eligible senior unsecured debt.| Reconciliation of IFRS Accounting Standards total assets to BCBS Basel III total on-balance sheet exposures excluding | | | |

Quarterly |During the fourth quarter of 2023, the LRD increased by USD 79.6bn to USD 1,695.4bn. The increase was primarily driven by currency effects of USD 68.4bn and asset size and other movements of USD 11.1bn.
On-balance sheet exposures (excluding derivatives and securities financing transactions) increased by USD 86.7bn, mainly due to currency effects of USD 59.2bn and asset size and other movements of USD 27.5bn. The asset size movement was mainly driven by higher central bank balances resulting primarily from customer deposits and net new issuances of long-term debt, and higher trading portfolio assets, partly offset by lower lending balances.
Derivative exposures decreased by USD 15.3bn, mainly due to asset size and other movements of USD 17.6bn, partly offset by currency effects of USD 2.2bn. The asset size movement was mainly due to market-driven decreases in foreign exchange and interest rate contracts and lower trading volumes across products.
Securities financing transactions increased by USD 8.3bn, mainly due to asset size and other movements of USD 5.0bn and currency effects of USD 3.3bn. The asset size movement was predominantly reflecting net new excess cash reinvestment trades.
Off-balance sheet items decreased by USD 0.5bn, mainly due to asset size and other movements of USD 3.8bn, partly offset by currency effects of USD 3.3bn. The asset size movement was mainly due to a decrease in guarantees and commitments.

Quarterly |HQLA must be easily and immediately convertible into cash at little or no loss of value, especially during a period

Other characteristics of HQLA are ease and certainty of valuation, low correlation with risky assets, listing of the assets on a developed and recognized exchange, existence of an active and sizable market for the assets, and low volatility. Our HQLA predominantly consist of assets that qualify as Level 1 in the LCR framework, including cash, central bank reserves and government bonds. In the fourth quarter of 2023, our HQLA increased USD 48.1bn to USD 415.6bn, mostly driven by higher customer deposits and proceeds received from debt issuances and negative net new loans. The overall composition of HQLA remained unchanged.

Quarterly |In the fourth quarter of 2023, the quarterly average LCR of the UBS Group increased 19.1 percentage points to 215.7%, remaining above the prudential requirement communicated by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA).
The movement in the average LCR was primarily driven by a USD 48.1bn increase in HQLA to USD 415.6bn, mostly driven by higher customer deposits and proceeds received from debt issuances and negative net new loans. The effect of the increase in average HQLA was slightly offset by a USD 5.5bn increase in average net cash outflows, to USD 192.8bn.
That increase was due to lower net inflows from securities financing transactions and lower inflows from lending assets, partly offset by lower outflows from debt issued.| LIQ1: Liquidity coverage ratio | | | | |

Requirements for global systemically important banks
and related indicators
Semi-annual |The Financial Stability Board (the FSB) has determined that UBS is a global systemically important bank (a G-SIB),
using an indicator-based methodology adopted by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (the BCBS). Banks that qualify as G-SIBs are required to disclose 13 high-level indicators for assessing the systemic importance of G-SIBs as defined by the BCBS. These indicators are used for the G-SIB score calculation and cover five categories: size, crossjurisdictional activity, interconnectedness, substitutability / financial institution infrastructure, and complexity.
In November 2023, the FSB, in consultation with the BCBS and national authorities, published the 2023 list of G-SIBs and Credit Suisse had moved below the threshold for G-SIB designation, no longer being considered a G-SIB.
Based on the published indicators, G-SIBs are subject to additional common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital buffer requirements in a range from 1.0% to 3.5%. In November 2023, the FSB confirmed that, based on the year-end 2022 indicators, the additional CET1 capital buffer requirement for the UBS Group will increase to 1.5%, from 1.0%, as of 1 January 2025. This increase follows the acquisition of the Credit Suisse Group in June 2023. As our Swiss systemically relevant bank Basel III capital requirements remain above the BCBS requirements, including the increased G-SIB buffer, we are not affected by these additional G-SIB requirements.
The BCBS introduced a leverage ratio buffer for G-SIBs as a part of the finalization of the Basel III framework announced in December 2017. The leverage ratio buffer is set at 50% of risk-weighted higher-loss absorbency requirements.
Implementation of the final Basel III framework in Switzerland is expected to enter into force on 1 January 2025. We do not expect these changes to increase our additional CET1 capital buffer requirement.
We provide our G-SIB indicators as of 31 December 2022 under “Pillar 3 disclosures” atubs.com/investors. Our G-SIB
indicators as of 31 December 2023 will be published in July 2024 under “Pillar 3 disclosures” atubs.com/investors.p

Introduction
Scope of disclosures in this section
The sections below include capital and other regulatory information as of 31 December 2023 for UBS AG consolidated, UBS AG standalone, UBS Switzerland AG standalone, UBS Europe SE consolidated, UBS Americas Holding LLC consolidated, Credit Suisse AG consolidated, Credit Suisse AG standalone, Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG consolidated, Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG standalone, Credit Suisse International standalone and Credit Suisse Holdings (USA), Inc.
consolidated. Capital information in the following sections is based on Pillar 1 capital requirements. Entities may be subject to significant additional Pillar 2 requirements, which represent additional amounts of capital considered necessary and are agreed with regulators based on the risk profile of the respective entity.
UBS Americas Holding LLC consolidated and Credit Suisse Holdings (USA), Inc. consolidated
Recent events in the US banking market In May 2023, the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the FDIC) released reports that covered the circumstances leading to the closing of certain banking organizations following the events in the banking market in March 2023. The reports noted shortcomings in the supervisory agencies’ execution of examination programs, including escalation of supervisory issues and staffing. They also raised concerns related to the regulatory framework, including the Federal Reserve’s Tailoring Rule and other topics, such as interest rate risk management. UBS expects these developments to impact the regulatory environment in the US, where UBS has significant operations.
Federal Reserve Board releases stress test results In June 2023, the Federal Reserve Board released the results of its 2023 Dodd–Frank Act Stress Test (DFAST). UBS’s US intermediate holding company, UBS Americas Holding LLC, and Credit Suisse’s intermediate holding, Credit Suisse Holdings (USA), Inc., exceeded the minimum capital requirements under the severely adverse scenario. Following the completion of the annual DFAST and the Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR), UBS Americas Holding LLC was assigned a stress capital buffer (an SCB) of 9.1% (previously 4.8%) under the SCB rule as of 1 October 2023, resulting in a total common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital requirement of 13.6%. Credit Suisse Holdings (USA), Inc. was assigned an SCB of 7.2% (previously 9.0%), resulting in a total CET1 capital requirement of 11.7%.
US authorities consult on final Basel III implementation In July 2023, US banking regulators, including the Federal Reserve Board, the FDIC and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the OCC), issued a public consultation on a proposal that would implement the final components of the Basel III capital standards for US banking organizations and foreign-owned intermediate holding companies, such as UBS Americas Holding LLC and Credit Suisse Holdings (USA), Inc. Among other matters, the proposed rules would end the use of the internal model approach for credit risk by the largest banking organizations and would introduce instead a new standardized approach. In addition, the proposed rules for operational risks would replace the advanced measurement approach with a standardized measure. The proposal calls for a three-year transition period, starting on 1 July 2025, and full implementation by 1 July 2028. We currently estimate that the proposed rule changes would result in increased capital requirements for our US-based intermediate holding companies if implemented as proposed.
UBS Americas Holding LLC consolidated
US banking regulators’ changes to the resolution framework and long-term debt requirements In August 2023, the Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC issued joint proposals on long-term debt requirements and resolution planning guidance for large banks. The long-term debt proposal would require certain large bank-holding companies, intermediate holding companies and insured depositories with USD 100bn or more in total assets to maintain a minimum amount of long-term debt, intended to enhance the resilience and resolvability of such organizations. Large banking organizations would also be prohibited from certain activities that could complicate the resolution or would lead to contagion risks. If the proposals are implemented, UBS Bank USA would be subject to the long-term debt requirement, which would be incremental to the requirements already imposed upon its parent organization, UBS Americas Holding LLC. The resolution planning guidance proposed by US banking regulators would cover our US-based entities and calls for certain enhancements in the requirements of the submitted resolution plans.

Key metrics of the fourth quarter of 2023
Quarterly |The table below is based on Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) Basel III rules and IFRS Accounting Standards.
During the fourth quarter of 2023, tier 1 capital increased by USD 1.6bn to USD 56.6bn. Common equity tier 1 (CET1)
capital increased by USD 0.8bn to USD 44.1bn, mainly reflecting operating profit before tax of USD 0.3bn and positive effects from foreign currency translation of USD 1.0bn, partly offset by additional dividend accruals of USD 0.6bn.
Additional tier 1 (AT1) capital issued by the Group and on-lent to UBS AG increased by USD 0.8bn to USD 12.5bn, mainly reflecting two issuances of AT1 capital instruments of USD 3.5bn and positive impacts from interest rate risk hedge, foreign currency translation and other effects. These increases were partly offset by a USD 2.5bn AT1 capital instrument that ceased to be eligible as going concern capital when we issued a notice of redemption of this instrument in the fourth quarter of 2023. In addition, two high-trigger loss-absorbing AT1 capital instruments of an equivalent of USD 0.6bn previously on-lent from the Group to UBS AG were transferred to Credit Suisse AG on 20 October 2023.
Risk-weighted assets (RWA) increased by USD 12.8bn to USD 334.0bn during the fourth quarter of 2023, primarily driven by an increase in credit and counterparty credit risk RWA .
During the fourth quarter of 2023, the leverage ratio denominator (the LRD) increased by USD 62.3bn to USD 1,104.4bn, driven by an increase from currency effects of USD 41.4bn and an increase in asset size and other movements of USD 20.9bn. The increase in the LRD was mainly driven by higher lending balances, trading portfolio assets, central bank balances and securities financing transaction exposures, partly offset by lower derivative exposures.
Correspondingly, the CET1 capital ratio of UBS AG consolidated decreased to 13.2% from 13.5%, reflecting the increase in RWA, partly offset by the increase in CET1 capital. The Basel III leverage ratio decreased to 5.1% from 5.3%, reflecting higher leverage ratio exposure, partly offset by the increase in tier 1 capital.
In the fourth quarter of 2023, the quarterly average liquidity coverage ratio (the LCR) of UBS AG consolidated increased 13.1 percentage points to 189.7%. The movement in the quarterly average LCR was primarily driven by an increase in average high-quality liquid assets (HQLA) of USD 23.6bn to USD 254.5bn, mainly due to an increase in customer deposits and proceeds received from debt issuances. The effect of the increase in average HQLA was partly offset by an increase in average net cash outflows of USD 3.3bn to USD 134.3bn, driven by lower net inflows from securities financing transactions.
As of 31 December 2023, the net stable funding ratio of UBS AG consolidated decreased 2.1 percentage points to 119.6%. Required stable funding increased by USD 36.7bn to USD 503.8bn, mainly driven by higher lending and trading assets. Available stable funding increased by USD 34.1bn to USD 602.6bn, mainly driven by higher customer deposits, debt issued and regulatory capital.

Swiss systemically relevant bank going and gone concern requirements and information
Quarterly |The tables below provide details of the Swiss systemically relevant bank RWA- and leverage ratio denominatorbased going and gone concern requirements and information as required by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory
Authority (FINMA).
In November 2022, the Swiss Federal Council adopted amendments to the Banking Act and the Banking Ordinance, which entered into force as of 1 January 2023. The amendments replaced the resolvability discount on the gone concern capital requirements for systemically important banks (SIBs), including UBS, with reduced base gone concern capital requirements equivalent to 75% of the total going concern requirements (excluding countercyclical buffer requirements).
In addition, as of July 2024, FINMA will have the authority to impose a surcharge of up to 25% of the total going concern capital requirements (excluding countercyclical buffer requirements) based on obstacles to an SIB’s resolvability identified in future resolvability assessments. UBS AG’s consolidated total gone concern requirements remained substantially unchanged in the fourth quarter of 2023. Outstanding high- and low-trigger loss-absorbing tier 2 capital instruments, non-Basel III-compliant tier 2 capital instruments and total loss-absorbing capacity-eligible unsecured debt instruments are eligible to meet gone concern requirements until one year before maturity.
More information about the going and gone concern requirements and information is provided in the “Total lossabsorbing capacity” section of the UBS AG Annual Report 2023, available under “Annual reporting” at ubs.com/investors.

requirement, a 1.5% base buffer capital requirement, a 0.25% LRD add-on requirement and a 0.25% market share add-on requirement based on our Swiss credit business. 3 Existing outstanding low-trigger additional tier 1 capital instruments qualify as going concern capital at the UBS AG consolidated level, as agreed with the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA), until their first call date. As of their first call date, these instruments are eligible to meet the gone concern requirements. 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). 6 As of July 2024, FINMA will have the authority to impose a surcharge of up to 25% of the total going concern capital requirements should obstacles to an SIB’s resolvability be identified in future resolvability assessments.

Key metrics of the fourth quarter of 2023
Quarterly |The table below is based on Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) Basel III rules and IFRS Accounting Standards.
During the fourth quarter of 2023, tier 1 capital increased by USD 0.3bn to USD 65.1bn. Common equity tier 1 (CET1)
capital decreased by USD 0.6bn to USD 52.6bn, mainly reflecting additional accruals for capital returns to UBS Group AG.
Additional tier 1 (AT1) capital issued by the Group and on-lent to UBS AG increased by USD 0.8bn to USD 12.5bn, mainly reflecting two issuances of AT1 capital instruments of USD 3.5bn and positive impacts from interest rate risk hedge, foreign currency translation and other effects. These increases were partly offset by a USD 2.5bn AT1 capital instrument that ceased to be eligible as going concern capital when we issued a notice of redemption of this instrument in the fourth quarter of 2023. In addition, two high-trigger loss-absorbing AT1 capital instruments of an equivalent of USD 0.6bn previously on-lent from the Group to UBS AG were transferred to Credit Suisse AG on 20 October 2023.
Phase-in risk-weighted assets (RWA) increased by USD 6.6bn to USD 354.1bn during the fourth quarter of 2023, primarily driven by increases in credit and counterparty credit risk RWA and participation RWA, partly offset by decreases in operational risk RWA and market risk RWA.
The leverage ratio denominator (the LRD) increased by USD 35.0bn to USD 643.9bn, driven by a USD 19.2bn increase in asset size and other movements and a USD 15.9bn increase in currency effects. The increase in asset size and other movements was mainly driven by higher on-balance sheet assets, mainly due to higher trading portfolio assets and lending balances, and securities financing transactions, partly offset by lower derivative exposures.
Correspondingly, the CET1 capital ratio of UBS AG standalone decreased to 14.8% from 15.3%, reflecting the increase in RWA and the decrease in CET1 capital. The firm’s Basel III leverage ratio decreased to 10.1% from 10.6%, reflecting the increase in the LRD, partly offset by the aforementioned increase in tier 1 capital.
The quarterly average liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) of UBS AG standalone increased 34.2 percentage points to 260.2%, remaining above the prudential requirement communicated by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA).
The movement in the quarterly average LCR was driven by an increase in average high-quality liquid assets (HQLA) of USD 20.7bn to USD 130.0bn, mainly driven by an increase in customer deposits. The effect of the increase in average HQLA was slightly offset by an increase in average net cash outflows of USD 1.6bn to USD 50.4bn, mainly driven by lower net inflows from securities financing transactions.
As of 31 December 2023, the net stable funding ratio decreased 2.7 percentage points to 91.7%, remaining above the prudential requirement communicated by FINMA. Available stable funding increased by USD 16.0bn to USD 279.8bn, mainly driven by higher customer deposits, debt issued and regulatory capital. Required stable funding increased by USD 25.8bn to USD 304.9bn, mainly driven by higher trading and lending assets.

1 As of 1 July 2022, capital amounts exclude the transitional relief of recognizing ECL allowances and provisions in CET1 capital in accordance with FINMA Circular 2013/1 “Eligible capital – banks”. 2 Based on phase-in rules for RWA. Refer to “Swiss SRB going and gone concern requirements and information” below for more information. 3 Calculated as 8% of total RWA, based on total capital minimum requirements, excluding CET1 buffer requirements. 4 Swiss SRB going and gone concern requirements and information for UBS AG standalone are provided below in this section. 5 Excludes non-BCBS capital buffer requirements for risk-weighted positions that are directly or indirectly backed by residential properties in Switzerland. 6 Represents the CET1 ratio that is available to meet buffer requirements. Calculated as the CET1 ratio minus the BCBS CET1 capital requirement and, where applicable, minus the BCBS tier 2 capital requirement met with CET1 capital. 7 Calculated after the application of haircuts and inflow and outflow rates, as well as, where applicable, caps on Level 2 assets and cash inflows. Calculated based on an average of 63 data points in the fourth quarter of 2023 and 63 data points in the third quarter of 2023. For the prior-quarter data points, refer to the respective Pillar 3 Report, available under “Pillar 3 disclosures” at ubs.com/investors, for more information. 8 In accordance with Art. 17h para. 3 and 4 of the Liquidity Ordinance, UBS AG standalone is required to maintain a minimum NSFR of at least 80% without taking into account excess funding of UBS Switzerland AG and 100% after taking into account such excess funding.
p Swiss systemically relevant bank going and gone concern requirements and information
UBS AG standalone is considered a systemically relevant bank (an SRB) under Swiss banking law and is subject to capital
regulations on a standalone basis.
The capital requirements based on RWA include a minimum CET1 capital requirement of 10.12%, including a
countercyclical buffer of 0.12%, and a total going concern capital requirement of 14.42%, including a countercyclical
buffer of 0.12%. The capital requirements based on the LRD include a minimum CET1 capital requirement of 3.5% and
a total going concern leverage ratio requirement of 5.0%.
CET1 capital and high -trigger AT1 capital instruments are eligible as going concern capital. As of 31 December 2023,
one remaining outstanding low-trigger AT1 capital instrument, amounting to USD 1.2bn, that was on-lent from
UBS Group AG to UBS AG qualified as going concern capital, as agreed with FINMA.
Following the amendments to the Banking Act and the Banking Ordinance that entered into force as of 1 January 2023,
UBS AG standalone is subject to a gone concern capital requirement based on the sum of: (i) the nominal value of the
gone concern instruments issued by UBS entities and held by the parent firm; (ii) 75% of the capital requirements resulting
from third-party exposure on a standalone basis; and (iii) a buffer requirement equal to 30% of the Group’s gone concern
capital requirement on UBS AG’s consolidated exposure. A transitional period until 2024 has been granted for the buffer
requirement. The gone concern capital coverage ratio reflects how much gone concern capital is available to meet the
gone concern requirement. Outstanding high- and low-trigger loss-absorbing tier 2 capital instruments, non-Basel III-
compliant tier 2 capital instruments and total loss-absorbing capacity-eligible unsecured debt instruments are eligible to
meet gone concern requirements until one year before maturity.
31 December 2023 Pillar 3 Report |Significant regulated subsidiaries and sub-groups | UBS AG standalone 107
For direct and indirect investments, including the holding of regulatory capital instruments of UBS AG by subsidiaries that are active in banking and finance, a FINMA decree introduced a risk-weighting approach, with a phase-in period until 1 January 2028. Starting from 1 July 2017, these investments were risk-weighted at 200%. From 1 January 2019 onward, the risk weights are being gradually raised by 5 percentage points per year for Switzerland-domiciled investments and by 20 percentage points per year for foreign-domiciled investments until the fully applied risk weights are 250% and 400%, respectively. As of 31 December 2023, the applicable phase-in risk weights were 225% for Switzerland-domiciled investments and 300% for foreign-domiciled investments.

UBS Switzerland AG standalone
Key metrics of the fourth quarter of 2023
Quarterly |The table below is based on Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) Basel III rules and IFRS Accounting Standards.
During the fourth quarter of 2023, common equity tier 1 capital increased by CHF 0.1bn to CHF 12.5bn, mainly driven
by operating profit, largely offset by additional dividend accruals.
Total risk-weighted assets (RWA) decreased by CHF 0.9bn to CHF 107.1bn, mainly driven by lower RWA from credit and
counterparty credit risk.
The leverage ratio denominator (the LRD) decreased by CHF 2.3bn to CHF 330.5bn, mainly due to a decrease in lending
balances.
The quarterly average liquidity coverage ratio of UBS Switzerland AG remained stable at 142.5%, remaining above the
prudential requirement communicated by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA). Average high-quality
liquid assets (HQLA) increased by CHF 1.2bn to CHF 76.3bn, mainly reflecting proceeds received from debt issuances.
The effect of higher average HQLA was partly offset by a CHF 0.7bn increase in average net cash outflows, attributable
to higher outflows from intercompany payables including currency effects, slightly offset by lower outflows from demand
deposits.
As of 31 December 2023, the net stable funding ratio remained stable at 134.1%, remaining above the prudential
requirement communicated by FINMA. Required stable funding increased by CHF 0.6bn to CHF 166.1bn, mainly
reflecting an increase in weighted required stable funding amounts from mortgage loans, partly offset by lower weighted
required stable funding amounts from other lending assets. Available stable funding increased by CHF 0.8bn to
CHF 222.7bn, as the effect of higher deposits and higher debt issued was almost entirely offset by currency effects.

Quarterly |The table below provides information about the regulatory capital components, capital ratios, leverage ratio and liquidity of UBS Europe SE consolidated based on Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) Pillar 1 requirements
and in accordance with EU regulatory rules and IFRS Accounting Standards.
During the fourth quarter of 2023, capital remained stable, and risk-weighted assets increased by EUR 0.1bn to EUR 12.4bn due to usual business behavior with no material drivers. Leverage ratio exposure decreased by EUR 2.2bn to EUR 45.1bn, mainly reflecting the decrease in securities financing transactions in line with the balance sheet movement.
The average liquidity coverage ratio remained stable and well above the regulatory requirements of 100% at 148.7%, with a EUR 0.4bn decrease in high-quality liquid assets and a EUR 0.3bn decrease in total net cash outflows. The net stable funding ratio remains stable and well above the regulatory requirements of 100% at 131.5%, with a EUR 0.2bn decrease in funding surplus.| KM1: Key metrics | 1 | | | | | | |

UBS Americas Holding LLC consolidated
Quarterly |The table below provides information about the regulatory capital components, capital, liquidity, funding and leverage ratios of UBS Americas Holding LLC consolidated, based on Basel Committee on Banking Supervision Pillar 1
requirements and in accordance with US Basel III rules.
Effective 1 October 2023, and through 30 September 2024, UBS Americas Holding LLC is subject to a stress capital buffer (an SCB) of 9.1%, in addition to the minimum capital requirements. The SCB was determined by the Federal Reserve Board following the completion of the 2023 Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (the CCAR) based on Dodd– Frank Act Stress Test (DFAST) results and planned future dividends. The SCB, which replaces the static capital conservation buffer of 2.5%, is subject to change on an annual basis or as otherwise determined by the Federal Reserve Board.
During the fourth quarter of 2023, common equity tier 1 capital increased by USD 3.7bn primarily from (i) the redemption by UBS America Holding LLC of USD 2.25bn of preferred shares in exchange for an equivalent amount of paid-in capital from UBS AG, (ii) a USD 0.8bn capital contribution by UBS AG and (iii) the Deferred Tax Asset temporary difference capital deduction declined as a result of the two aforementioned transactions. Risk-weighted assets increased by USD 1.1bn to USD 73.1bn, due to a USD 1.7bn increase in market risk RWA, partly offset by a USD 0.6bn decrease in credit risk RWA.
Leverage ratio exposure, calculated on an average basis, decreased by USD 1.0bn to USD 184.0bn, primarily due to lower lending activity.
The average liquidity coverage ratio decreased 8.1 percentage points to 147.7%, driven by a USD 0.9bn decrease in high-quality liquid assets, primarily due to a USD 1.9bn increase in trapped liquidity, and a USD 0.4bn increase in net cash outflows, due mostly to a USD 1.0bn decrease in inflows. The average net stable funding ratio increased 0.3 percentage points to 132.1%, driven by a USD 0.5bn decrease in required stable funding mainly due to a decrease in loans, partly offset by a USD 0.4bn decrease in available stable funding.

Key metrics of the fourth quarter of 2023
Quarterly |The table below is based on Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) Basel III rules.
During the fourth quarter of 2023, the common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital of Credit Suisse AG consolidated decreased by CHF 4.6bn to CHF 38.2bn, mainly driven by a net loss of CHF 2.7bn. Tier 1 capital decreased by CHF 4.6bn to CHF 38.6bn, reflecting the aforementioned decrease in CET1 capital.
Risk-weighted assets (RWA) decreased by CHF 23.4bn to CHF 181.7bn during the fourth quarter of 2023, primarily due to decreases in credit risk RWA and operational risk RWA .
The leverage ratio denominator (the LRD) decreased by CHF 30.4bn to CHF 525.0 bn, mainly driven by lower business usage, primarily due to de-risking activities, and a negative foreign exchange impact, partially offset by an increase in high-quality liquid assets (HQLA).
Correspondingly, the CET1 capital ratio of Credit Suisse AG consolidated increased to 21.0% from 20.9%, mainly reflecting the aforementioned decrease in RWA, partially offset by the decrease in CET1 capital . The Basel III leverage ratio decreased to 7.4% from 7.8%, primarily due to the aforementioned decrease in CET1 capital, partially offset by the lower LRD.
In the fourth quarter of 2023, the quarterly average liquidity coverage ratio (the LCR) of Credit Suisse AG consolidated increased 37.9 percentage points to 265.1%, remaining above the prudential requirement communicated by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA). The increase in the quarterly average LCR was primarily driven by a CHF 20.3bn increase in HQLA to CHF 142.6bn, mainly due to an increase in cash held at central banks.
As of 31 December 2023, the net stable funding ratio (the NSFR) of Credit Suisse AG consolidated increased 10.6 percentage points to 134.7%, remaining above the prudential requirement communicated by FINMA. The increase in the NSFR mainly reflected lower required stable funding, primarily related to a decrease in the loan portfolio of Credit Suisse AG consolidated, as well as a decrease in derivative exposures.
Applicable rules and methodologies As a result of the integration of Credit Suisse into UBS, the add-ons for market share and the LRD have been increased as of the end of 2023 to align with UBS’s current surcharges.

Credit Suisse AG standalone
Key metrics of the fourth quarter of 2023
Quarterly |The table below is based on Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) Basel III rules.
During the fourth quarter of 2023, the common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital of Credit Suisse AG standalone increased by CHF 2.4bn to CHF 33.3bn. This was mainly driven by a net profit of CHF 2.5bn, which included a reversal of participation impairments of CHF 2.0bn, as well as dividends received from Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG. Tier 1 capital increased by CHF 2.4bn to CHF 33.8bn, reflecting the aforementioned increase in CET1 capital.
Phase-in risk-weighted assets (RWA) decreased by CHF 16.2bn to CHF 182.8bn during the fourth quarter of 2023, primarily driven by a decrease in credit risk RWA, mainly due to lower lending exposures, partly offset by an RWA impact from the reversal of participation impairments.
The leverage ratio denominator (the LRD) decreased by CHF 29.2bn to CHF 288.6bn, mainly driven by lower lending exposures, as well as decreases in trading inventory, securities financing transactions and derivative exposures, partly offset by an increase in central bank balances.
Correspondingly, the CET1 capital ratio of Credit Suisse AG standalone increased to 18.2% from 15.6%, reflecting the increase in CET1 capital and the decrease in phase-in RWA. The Basel III leverage ratio increased to 11.7% from 9.9%, reflecting the increase in CET1 capital and the lower LRD.
In the fourth quarter of 2023, the quarterly average liquidity coverage ratio (the LCR) of Credit Suisse AG standalone increased 41.1 percentage points to 393.6%, remaining above the prudential requirement communicated by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA). The increase in the quarterly average LCR was driven by an increase of CHF 16.6bn in high-quality liquid assets to CHF 67.3bn, mainly due to an increase in cash held at central banks.
As of 31 December 2023, the net stable funding ratio (the NSFR) of Credit Suisse AG standalone increased 21.1 percentage points to 131.82%, remaining above the prudential requirement communicated by FINMA. The movement in the NSFR was driven by a CHF 32.9bn decrease in required stable funding to CHF 121.6bn, primarily due to decreases in the firm’s loan portfolio. Available stable funding decreased by CHF 10.8bn to CHF 160.3bn, mainly due to a decrease in long-term debt.
Applicable rules and methodologies In October 2017, FINMA issued a decree (the 2017 FINMA Decree) specifying the treatment of investments in subsidiaries for capital adequacy purposes for Credit Suisse AG standalone. As of the end of the fourth quarter of 2023, Credit Suisse AG standalone financed Swiss subsidiaries with a carrying value of CHF 18.8bn and foreign subsidiaries with a carrying value of CHF 20.4bn.
The 2017 FINMA Decree also applied an adjustment (referred to as a regulatory filter) as an impact on CET1 capital arising from the accounting change under applicable Swiss banking rules for Credit Suisse AG standalone’s participations in subsidiaries, from the portfolio valuation method to the individual valuation method. In contrast to the accounting treatment, the regulatory filter permits Credit Suisse to measure the regulatory capital position as if Credit Suisse AG standalone had maintained the portfolio valuation method. As of the end of the fourth quarter of 2023, the CET1 capital impact from the regulatory filter was CHF 6.2bn (unchanged compared with the end of the third quarter of 2023). The related RWA increase from higher total participation values subject to risk weighting was CHF 15.5bn, reflecting the different risk-weights for these direct participations.
The valuation of Credit Suisse AG’s participations in subsidiaries is reviewed for potential impairment (reversal) on at least an annual basis and at any other time that events or circumstances indicate that the value of any participation may be impaired, respectively material reversals of impairment may be mandated. As a result of the acquisition of Credit Suisse Group AG by UBS Group AG and the expected changes in strategy in the future, reliable financial plans were initially not available for the valuation of Credit Suisse AG standalone’s participations in subsidiaries, and management used alternative methods to estimate the fair values of those assets. Reliable information became gradually available from the third quarter of 2023 onwards, and the valuation as of 31 December 2023 is generally based on the income approach valuation method and approved legal entity financial plans. Credit Suisse recognized a reversal of participation impairments of CHF 2.0bn in the fourth quarter of 2023.
As a result of the integration of Credit Suisse into UBS, the add-ons for market share and the LRD have been increased as of the end of 2023 to align with UBS’s current surcharges .

Swiss systemically relevant bank going and gone concern requirements and information
Quarterly |The tables below provide details of the Swiss systemically relevant bank RWA- and LRD-based going and gone concern requirements and information as required by FINMA ; details regarding eligible gone concern instruments are
provided below.
Following the amendments to the Banking Act and the Banking Ordinance that entered into force as of 1 January 2023, Credit Suisse AG standalone is subject to a gone concern capital requirement based on the sum of: (i) the nominal value of the gone concern instruments issued by Credit Suisse entities and held by the parent firm; (ii) 75% of the capital requirements resulting from third-party exposure on a standalone basis; and (iii) a buffer requirement equal to 30% of Credit Suisse AG standalone’s gone concern capital requirement on Credit Suisse AG’s consolidated exposure. A transitional period until 2024 has been granted for the buffer requirement. The gone concern capital coverage ratio reflects how much gone concern capital is available to meet the gone concern requirement. Outstanding high- and lowtrigger loss-absorbing tier 2 capital instruments and total loss-absorbing capacity-eligible unsecured debt instruments are eligible to meet gone concern requirements until one year before maturity. Credit Suisse AG standalone is allowed to temporarily use capital buffers until further notice, in line with the CAO and regulatory guidance by FINMA.

Key metrics of the fourth quarter of 2023
Quarterly |The table below is based on Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) Basel III rules.
During the fourth quarter of 2023, the common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital of Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG consolidated decreased by CHF 2.0bn to CHF 11.1bn. This was mainly driven by a dividend accrual of CHF 2.0bn. Tier 1 capital decreased by CHF 2.0bn to CHF 14.2bn, reflecting the aforementioned decrease in CET1 capital.
Risk-weighted assets (RWA) decreased by CHF 4.6bn to CHF 83.3.bn during the fourth quarter of 2023, primarily driven by a decrease in credit risk RWA.
The leverage ratio denominator (the LRD) decreased by CHF 3.6bn to CHF 253.8bn, mainly driven by lower lending balances.
Correspondingly, the CET1 capital ratio of Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG consolidated decreased to 13.3% from 14.8%, reflecting the decrease in CET1 capital, partially offset by the decrease in RWA. The Basel III leverage ratio decreased to 5.6% from 6.3%.
In the fourth quarter of 2023, the quarterly average liquidity coverage ratio (the LCR) of Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG consolidated increased by 12.1 percentage points to 151.3%, remaining above the prudential requirement communicated by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA). The movement in the quarterly average LCR was driven by an increase of CHF 2.2bn in high-quality liquid assets to CHF 52.1bn, mainly due to an increase in cash held at central banks, and a decrease of CHF 1.4bn in net cash outflows to CHF 34.4bn, mainly due to lower cash outflows from deposits.
As of 31 December 2023, the net stable funding ratio (the NSFR) of Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG consolidated decreased 0.7 percentage points to 108.3%, remaining above the prudential requirement communicated by FINMA. The movement in the NSFR was driven by a decrease of CHF 3.6bn in required stable funding to CHF 118.7bn, mainly due to a decrease in the loan portfolio. The NSFR was also impacted by a decrease of CHF 4.7bn in available stable funding to CHF 128.5bn, primarily due to the maturity decay of funding instruments.

Key metrics of the fourth quarter of 2023
Quarterly |The table below is based on Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) Basel III rules.
During the fourth quarter of 2023, the common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital of Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG standalone decreased by CHF 1.5bn to CHF 10.4bn. This was mainly driven by a dividend accrual of CHF 2.0bn. Tier 1 capital decreased by CHF 1.5bn to CHF 13.5bn, reflecting the aforementioned decrease in CET1 capital.
Risk-weighted assets (RWA) decreased by CHF 4.3bn to CHF 82.6bn during the fourth quarter of 2023, primarily driven by lower credit risk RWA.
The leverage ratio denominator (the LRD) decreased by CHF 3.5bn to CHF 251.7bn, mainly driven by lower lending balances.
Correspondingly, the CET1 capital ratio of Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG standalone decreased to 12.6% from 13.7%, reflecting the aforementioned decrease in CET1 capital, partially offset by the aforementioned decrease in RWA. The Basel III leverage ratio decreased to 5.4% from 5.9%.
In the fourth quarter of 2023, the quarterly average liquidity coverage ratio (the LCR) of Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG standalone increased 11.7 percentage points to 149.3%, remaining above the prudential requirement communicated by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA). The movement in the quarterly average LCR was driven by an increase of CHF 2.2bn in high-quality liquid assets to CHF 52.0bn, mainly due to an increase in cash held at central banks, and a decrease of CHF 1.4bn in net cash outflows to CHF 34.9bn, mainly due lower cash outflows from deposits.
As of 31 December 2023, the net stable funding ratio (the NSFR) of Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG standalone decreased 0.7 percentage points to 108.7%, remaining above the prudential requirement communicated by FINMA. The movement in the NSFR was driven by a decrease of CHF 3.4bn in required stable funding to CHF 116.7bn, mainly due to a decrease in the loan portfolio. The NSFR was also impacted by a decrease of CHF 4.6bn in available stable funding to CHF 126.8bn, primarily due to the maturity decay of funding instruments.
As of 31 December 2023, Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG standalone held assets with a carrying value of CHF 908m that are pledged under the covered bonds program of Credit Suisse AG and for which the related liabilities of CHF 534m as of 31 December 2023 are reported by Credit Suisse AG. The liabilities were fully collateralized through cash deposits from Credit Suisse AG.

1 Net income and dividend accruals for 2023 were recognized in the fourth quarter of 2023. 2 Credit Suisse has a transitional relief of recognizing CECL allowances and provisions in CET1 capital in accordance with FINMA Circular 2013/1 “Eligible capital – banks” until 30 June 2024. A transitional relief of CHF 8m was applied to CET1 and tier 1 capital to the fourth quarter of 2023. No transitional relief was applied for the other periods presented. 3 Calculated as 8% of total RWA, based on total capital minimum requirements, excluding CET1 buffer requirements. 4 Swiss SRB going and gone concern requirements and information for Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG standalone are provided below in this section. 5 Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG standalone has aligned its minimum capital requirements to the UBS approach of applying the G-SIB buffer at the Group level only. 6 Excludes non-BCBS countercyclical capital buffer requirements for risk-weighted positions that are directly or indirectly backed by residential properties in Switzerland. 7 Represents the CET1 ratio that is available to meet buffer requirements. Calculated as the CET1 ratio minus the BCBS CET1 capital requirement and, where applicable, minus the BCBS additional tier 1 and tier 2 capital requirements met with CET1 capital. 8 Calculated after the application of haircuts and inflow and outflow rates, as well as, where applicable, caps on Level 2 assets and cash inflows. Calculated based on an average of 64 data points in the fourth quarter of 2023 and 65 data points in the third quarter of 2023. For the prior-quarter data points, refer to the 30 September 2023 Pillar 3 Report, available under “Pillar 3 disclosures” at ubs.com/investors, for more information. 9 In accordance with Art. 17h of the Liquidity Ordinance, Credit Suisse AG standalone is allowed to fulfill the minimum NSFR of 100% by taking into consideration any excess funding of Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG standalone, and Credit Suisse AG standalone has an NSFR requirement of at least 80% without taking into consideration any such excess funding. Credit Suisse (Schweiz)
AG must always fulfill the NSFR of at least 100% on a standalone basis. 10 In the fourth quarter of 2023, the Bank parent company fulfilled the regulatory NSFR requirement as FINMA provided guidance that allowed the Emergency Liquidity Assistance provided by the Swiss National Bank to be considered as available stable funding to the extent necessary. This FINMA guidance did not impact the NSFR of Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG – parent company on a stand-alone basis.

Credit Suisse International standalone
Quarterly |The table below provides information about the regulatory capital components, capital ratios, leverage ratio and liquidity of Credit Suisse International standalone based on Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) Pillar 1
requirements and in accordance with UK Prudential Regulatory Authority regulations and IFRS Accounting Standards.
During the fourth quarter of 2023, the common equity tier 1 capital of Credit Suisse International standalone decreased by USD 0.5bn to USD 12.7bn from USD 13.2bn, primarily due to increased losses. Total capital decreased by USD 0.6bn to USD 13.9bn, from USD 14.4bn in the third quarter of 2023. Risk-weighted assets decreased by USD 6.6bn to USD 35.4bn from USD 42.0bn in the third quarter of 2023, driven by a decrease across all risk types due to a reduction in trading activity. Leverage ratio exposure decreased by USD 11.2bn to USD 78.1bn, mainly driven by a decrease in trading inventory.
The average liquidity coverage ratio was 280.3%, compared with 221.0% in the third quarter of 2023. The increase was driven by a decrease of USD 2.1bn in net cash outflows, mainly driven by a decrease in outflow from derivatives, outflow from impact of adverse market scenarios and outflow from structured financing activities.
The net stable funding ratio (the NSFR) of Credit Suisse International standalone remained above the regulatory requirement of 100%, at 125.6%, compared with 126.1% in the third quarter of 2023. The NSFR was driven by a decrease of USD 4.2bn in available stable funding, mainly driven by a decrease in long-term funding. This was offset by a decrease of USD 3.2bn in required stable funding, mainly driven by a decrease in net derivative assets, initial margin posted and trading inventory.

Credit Suisse Holdings (USA), Inc. consolidated
Quarterly |The table below provides information about the regulatory capital components and capital, liquidity and leverage ratios of Credit Suisse Holdings (USA), Inc. consolidated, based on Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) Pillar 1
requirements and in accordance with US Basel III rules.
Effective 1 October 2022 and through 30 September 2023, Credit Suisse Holdings (USA), Inc. was subject to a stress capital buffer (an SCB) of 9.0%, in addition to the minimum capital requirements. The SCB was determined by the Federal Reserve Board following the completion of the 2022 Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (the CCAR) based on Dodd–Frank Act Stress Test (DFAST) results and planned future dividends. Based on the results of the 2023 CCAR, the SCB has been adjusted to 7.2% effective 1 October 2023. The SCB, which replaces the static capital conservation buffer of 2.5%, is subject to change on an annual basis or as otherwise determined by the Federal Reserve Board.
During the fourth quarter of 2023, the common equity tier 1 (CET1) ratio of Credit Suisse Holdings (USA), Inc.
consolidated increased to 72.3% from 57.9%, as risk-weighted assets (RWA) decreased by USD 3.8bn to USD 13.0bn, which more than offset losses for the quarter of USD 3.0bn. The decrease in RWA was driven by decreases of USD 3.2bn in credit risk RWA and USD 0.6 bn in market risk RWA. Leverage ratio exposure, calculated on an average basis, decreased by USD 4.4bn to USD 29.5bn, driven by a decrease in reverse repurchase transactions due to a decrease in high-quality liquid assets (HQLA) requirements.
