An alternative performance measure (an APM) is a financial measure of historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows other than a financial measure defined or specified in the applicable recognized accounting standards or in other applicable regulations. A number of APMs are reported in UBS's external reports (annual, quarterly and other reports). APMs are used to provide a more complete picture of operating performance and to reflect management's view of the fundamental drivers of the business results. A definition of each APM, the method used to calculate it and the information content are presented under "Alternative performance measures" in the appendix to this report. These APMs may qualify as non-GAAP measures as defined by US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations.
Comparative information in this report is presented as follows.
Profit and loss information and other flow-based information for the third quarter of 2025, the second quarter of 2025 and the fourth quarter of 2024 is based entirely on consolidated data following the merger of UBS AG and Credit Suisse AG.

Management report
We remain on track to substantially complete the integration of Credit Suisse by the end of 2026, and our focus continues to be on client account migrations and infrastructure decommissioning.
In the third quarter of 2025, and over the course of October 2025, we successfully advanced our Swiss business migrations, having now migrated over two-thirds of the targeted client accounts. We still aim to complete the Swiss booking center migrations by the end of the first quarter of 2026.
Furthermore, we have substantially completed the integration of Asset Management, including the final portfolio migrations onto UBS platforms.
In September 2025, the Swiss Federal Council launched a public consultation on proposed legislative amendments to capital requirements related to foreign subsidiaries. The proposed changes would require the deduction of investments in foreign subsidiaries of systemically important banks (SIBs) from common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital. After the end of the public consultation in January 2026, the Swiss Federal Council is expected to submit its proposal to the Swiss Parliament in the first half of 2026. Subject to the Parliament's final decision, the proposal states that the amendments would enter into force in 2028, at the earliest, starting with a 65% deduction requirement in the first year and increasing to 100% by 5-percentage-point increments each year over seven years. The phase-in is subject to adjustment should the legislation be delayed.
A public consultation on other proposed measures at the ordinance level ended in September 2025. The proposals include provisions to deduct capitalized software and deferred tax assets (DTAs) on temporary differences from CET1 capital, add stricter requirements for prudent valuation adjustments (PVAs) of assets and liabilities, and mandate the suspension of interest payments for additional tier 1 capital instruments in the event of a cumulative loss over four quarters. The proposals also introduce measures that aim to enable the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) and other authorities to better assess the situation of banks in a liquidity crisis. The entry into force of the above is expected in January 2027, at the earliest.
A public consultation by the Swiss Federal Council is expected to be launched in the first half of 2026 on additional legislative measures, including incremental requirements for the recovery and resolution plans of SIBs, measures aimed at increasing the potential for obtaining liquidity via the Swiss National Bank, the introduction of an enhanced accountability framework in the form of a Senior Managers Regime for banks, and the provision of additional powers for FINMA. We expect the Swiss Federal Council's submission of these legislative measures to the Parliament in the first half of 2027, with the entry into force expected in 2028 or 2029.
In addition, a public consultation on amendments to the Liquidity Ordinance is expected to be launched in the first half of 2026. The proposals are expected to set minimum requirements for maintaining borrowing capacity for emergency liquidity assistance.
Based on financial information published for the first quarter of 2025 and given UBS AG's target CET1 capital ratio of between 12.5% and 13%, UBS AG would be required to hold additional estimated CET1 capital of around USD 24bn on a pro-forma basis if all capital measures were to be implemented as proposed. This would include around USD 23bn related to the full deduction of UBS AG's investments in foreign subsidiaries, of which approximately USD 7bn would be required at the start of the proposed phase-in period. These pro-forma figures reflect previously announced expected capital repatriations of around USD 5bn to UBS AG from its subsidiaries.
The incremental CET1 capital of around USD 24bn required for UBS AG, given our aim to maintain an equity double leverage ratio of around 100% at UBS Group AG, would result in a CET1 capital ratio at the UBS Group AG (consolidated) level of around 19%. At Group level, the proposed measures related to DTAs on temporary differences, capitalized software and PVAs would eliminate capital recognition for these items, thereby reducing the CET1 capital ratio for the Group from around 19% to around 17%, underrepresenting UBS's capital strength compared with peers.
The additional capital of USD 24bn would be in addition to the incremental capital that UBS will have to hold as a result of the acquisition of the Credit Suisse Group in order to meet existing regulations. This includes around USD 9bn to remove the regulatory concessions granted to Credit Suisse and around USD 6bn to meet the current progressive requirements due to the increased leverage ratio denominator (LRD) and higher market share of the combined business. The estimated effect for the progressive requirements for LRD and market share decreased to USD 6bn, from USD 9bn, following FINMA's confirmation about the requirements that will apply to UBS. The phasein of the increased capital requirements relating to the increased LRD and higher market share will commence on 1 January 2026 and will be completed by the beginning of 2030, at the latest.
On this basis, UBS would be required to hold around USD 39bn in additional CET1 capital in total.
In September 2025, FINMA published its 2025 resolution report on UBS related to the 2024 fiscal year. FINMA concluded that UBS remains resolvable under UBS's existing preferred resolution strategy, which includes a recapitalization via a bail-in at the Group holding company level. The Swiss emergency plan of UBS is designed to ensure the continuity of systemically important functions and critical operations in Switzerland in the case of a failed attempt to restructure the UBS Group. According to FINMA, this plan was largely compliant with the current regulatory requirements. However, given the lessons learned from the Credit Suisse crisis, FINMA has determined that the Swiss emergency plan requires further development to meet the objective of maintaining systemically important functions while also safeguarding financial stability at the international level. Moreover, FINMA assessed that UBS's Swiss emergency plan requires better integration into UBS's global resolution plan. Due to the ongoing integration of Credit Suisse into UBS, FINMA has refrained from assessing UBS's recovery plan, which outlines measures that aim to restore financial strength if UBS should come under severe capital or liquidity stress.

In August 2025, the Federal Reserve Board reduced the stress capital buffer (the SCB) of UBS Americas Holding LLC, our US-based intermediate holding company, to 5.2%, from 9.3%, applicable from 1 October 2025 under the Federal Reserve Board's SCB rule, resulting in a total CET1 capital requirement of 9.7%. The SCB for UBS Americas Holding LLC is derived from the results of the Federal Reserve Board's 2025 Dodd–Frank Act Stress Test (DFAST) released in June 2025.
Earlier in 2025, the Federal Reserve Board proposed measures to reduce the volatility of the SCB requirements by averaging the capital stress test results from the past two years, with the aim of making capital planning more predictable for banks. In addition, the Federal Reserve Board proposed moving the effective date for the annual SCB updates from 1 October to 1 January to allow more time to meet the new requirements. We expect the final rules to be published in the first half of 2026.
In October 2025, the Prudential Regulation Authority and Financial Conduct Authority adopted changes to their regulations on the compensation of senior managers and material risk takers. The revised regulations generally reduce the portion of incentive compensation subject to mandatory deferral, reduce the mandatory deferral periods for incentive compensation to a uniform four years, eliminate post-vesting blocked periods and permit awards to accrue interest and dividends. Changes are generally effective immediately and companies may elect to apply certain elements of the revised requirements to awards in the current compensation year, as well as to outstanding deferred incentive compensation plans. UBS AG is assessing the changes and the related impacts.
On 1 August 2025, UBS AG entered into an agreement with the US Department of Justice (the DOJ) under which UBS AG paid USD 300m to resolve all remaining obligations under Credit Suisse's 2017 settlement agreement with the DOJ related to residential mortgage-backed securities activities. The resolution had no effect on UBS AG's performance in the third quarter of 2025.
In September 2025, UBS AG resolved the legacy matter related to its cross-border business activities in France between 2004 and 2012. As a result, UBS AG agreed to pay a fine of EUR 730m and EUR 105m in civil damages to the French State in the third quarter of 2025 and recognized a gain of USD 321m (USD 284m in Global Wealth Management and USD 37m in Personal & Corporate Banking) in connection with the release of a related provision.
In 2023, the French Supreme Court confirmed the Paris Court of Appeal's decision finding UBS AG guilty of unlawful client solicitation and aggravated money laundering but referred the financial penalty and civil damages to be re-assessed by the lower court.
In the third quarter of 2025, UBS AG completed the sale of a 36.01% stake in a subsidiary, Credit Suisse Securities (China) Limited (CSS), to Beijing State-Owned Assets Management Co., Ltd., as announced on 24 June 2024, and deconsolidated the entity. The sale resulted in a pre-tax gain of USD 128m in the Investment Bank. UBS AG retains a 14.99% shareholding in CSS and accounts for this minority interest as an investment in an associate.
In proceedings initiated by certain former holders of Credit Suisse Group AG additional tier 1 (AT1) capital instruments against FINMA challenging FINMA's decree of 19 March 2023 ordering the write-off of CHF 16bn principal amount of Credit Suisse Group AG's AT1 instruments, the Swiss Federal Administrative Court published a partial decision in October 2025. The court determined that FINMA's order lacked a sufficient legal basis and revoked FINMA's decree. FINMA has stated it will appeal the decision to the Swiss Federal Supreme Court. UBS also intends to appeal.
On 23 October 2025, the Extraordinary General Meeting of UBS AG approved a supplementary 2024 dividend of USD 6,500m. The dividend was paid by UBS AG to its shareholder UBS Group AG on the same day.
On 24 October 2025, UBS AG announced that Lukas Gähwiler will not stand for re-election to the Board of Directors of UBS AG and Markus Ronner will be nominated as a new member of the Board of Directors and Vice Chairman of UBS AG, succeeding Lukas Gähwiler. Markus Ronner is a Swiss citizen and has been with UBS since 1981.
In addition, on 24 October 2025 several changes with respect to the responsibilities of existing Executive Board (EB) members were announced and will be effective 1 January 2026.
Michelle Bereaux, UBS AG Integration Officer, will take on the role of UBS AG Head Compliance and Operational Risk Control.
Beatriz Martin, Head Non-core and Legacy and the EB Lead for Sustainability and Impact, will also become UBS AG Chief Operating Officer. In addition to her current responsibilities, she will oversee the finalization of the integration of Credit Suisse, UBS AG Operations, and the Internal Consulting and Governance teams. She will also continue to act as President EMEA and UK Chief Executive.
Todd Tuckner will take on the responsibility for Governmental and Regulatory Affairs in addition to his role as UBS AG CFO.
Stefan Seiler will take on the responsibility for the UBS AG Security functions in addition to his role as UBS AG Head of HR and Corporate Services.
Mike Dargan will focus on capturing opportunities arising from innovation and technological changes in addition to his role as UBS AG Chief Technology Officer.
On 30 October 2025, UBS AG, acting through its Stamford branch, and UBS Group AG announced offers to repurchase outstanding notes of seven series of senior debt for a maximum purchase consideration of USD 4bn. The securities subject to the offers and the terms and conditions of the offers are set forth in the offer documents. The offers are made as part of UBS's proactive management of its funding and total loss-absorbing capacity, among other factors, to optimize interest expense. The offers are scheduled to expire on 5 November 2025, unless extended or earlier terminated. UBS AG expects to record a loss on the purchase and early repayment of these high-spread securities at above book value. The amount of the loss will vary based on the total consideration that will be paid.

1 Includes a USD 128m gain from the sale of a stake in a subsidiary, Credit Suisse Securities (China) Limited.
Operating profit before tax increased by USD 316m, or 27%, to USD 1,507m, reflecting an increase in total revenues and a decrease in net credit loss expenses, partly offset by higher operating expenses. Total revenues increased by USD 449m, or 4%, to USD 12,446m, which included an increase from foreign currency effects. The increase in total revenues was largely due to an increase of USD 763m in net fee and commission income, partly offset by decreases of USD 267m in other income. Operating expenses increased by USD 186m, or 2%, to USD 10,826m and included an increase from foreign currency effects. The overall increase was largely due to an increase of USD 289m in general and administrative expenses, partly offset by a USD 112m decrease in depreciation, amortization and impairment of non-financial assets. Net credit loss expenses were USD 113m, compared with USD 167m in the third quarter of 2024.
Integration-related expenses in general and administrative expenses primarily included shared services costs charged from other companies in the UBS Group reporting scope and consulting, legal and audit fees. Integration-related personnel expenses were mainly due to salaries and variable compensation and post-employment benefit plans. In addition, there was accelerated depreciation of properties and leasehold improvements in depreciation, amortization and impairment of non-financial assets. Integration items within revenues included a gain from the sale of a stake in Credit Suisse Securities (China) Limited (CSS).
Net interest income and other net income from financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss Total combined net interest income and other net income from financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss decreased by USD 47m to USD 5,106m.
Global Wealth Management revenues decreased by USD 12m to USD 2,077m, mainly driven by the impact of lower central bank interest rates on deposit revenues and by lower loan revenues, reflecting margin contraction, largely offset by lower liquidity and funding costs, the effects of favorable changes in deposit mix, balance sheet optimization measures, and positive foreign currency effects.
Personal & Corporate Banking revenues decreased by USD 50m to USD 1,399m, mainly driven by lower net interest income, reflecting the impact of lower central bank interest rates on deposit revenues. This was partly offset by deposit pricing measures and lower liquidity and funding costs. These revenues also included positive foreign currency effects.
Investment Bank revenues increased by USD 360m to USD 1,873m, mainly due to higher revenues in Financing in Global Markets, led by Prime Brokerage, supported by higher client balances. In addition, Global Banking revenues increased, driven by higher revenues in Capital Markets.
Non-core and Legacy revenues were negative USD 91m compared with positive USD 63m in the third quarter of 2024, mainly due to lower net gains from position exits and lower net interest income from the securitized product portfolio, partly offset by lower markdowns.
Revenues in Group Items were negative USD 143m compared with positive USD 14m in the third quarter of 2024. The change in revenues was mainly driven by lower mark-to-market gains from Group hedging and own debt, including hedge accounting ineffectiveness.

1 Mainly includes spread-related income in connection with client-driven transactions, foreign currency translation effects and income and expenses from precious metals, which are included in the income statement line Other net income from financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss. The amounts reported on this line are one component of Transaction-based income in the management discussion and analysis in the "Global Wealth Management" and "Personal & Corporate Banking" sections of this report.
Net fee and commission income increased by USD 763m to USD 7,097m.
Net brokerage fees increased by USD 251m to USD 1,293m, driven by increased volumes in Cash Equities in Execution Services in the Investment Bank, led by the Asia Pacific region, and higher levels of client activity in Global Wealth Management in the Asia Pacific, EMEA and Americas regions.
Fees for portfolio management and related services increased by USD 190m to USD 3,301m. These fees are largely recurring and are driven mainly by Global Wealth Management. Investment fund fees increased by USD 188m to USD 1,740m. These fees are also largely recurring in nature and are mainly driven by management and performance fees in Asset Management and asset-based fund fees in Global Wealth Management. The year-on-year increase in both of these fee categories reflected higher average levels of fee-generating assets in Global Wealth Management, reflecting positive impacts from market performance and net new fee-generating asset inflows over the course of the last 12 months. Increases in Asset Management reflected growth in Hedge Fund Businesses, positive market performance and foreign currency effects, partly offset by negative impacts from continued margin compression.

Other income was USD 243m compared with USD 510m in the third quarter of 2024. The third quarter of 2025 included a USD 128m gain from the sale of a stake in CSS and a USD 33m gain from the sale of our wealth management business in India. These gains were partly offset by a USD 140m loss relating to an investment in an associate. The third quarter of 2024 also included a USD 119m gain related to the sale of an investment in an associate and an USD 84m gain from disposals.

1 Financial advisor compensation consists of cash compensation, determined using a formulaic approach based on production, and deferred awards. It also includes expenses related to compensation commitments with financial advisors entered into at the time of recruitment that are subject to vesting requirements.
Personnel expenses increased by USD 9m to USD 5,797m, including a USD 108m increase in post-employment benefit plans, predominantly related to integration-related expenses. There were also increases in financial advisor compensation, resulting from higher compensable revenues, and in accruals for performance awards, reflecting business performance. The increases were largely offset by lower salary expenses, reflecting the impact of a smaller workforce.
› Refer to "Note 7 Personnel expenses" in the "Consolidated financial statements" section of this report for more information
General and administrative expenses increased by USD 289m to USD 4,303m, largely due to an increase of USD 340m in shared services costs charged for Technology, Finance and Risk by shared services subsidiaries of UBS Group AG, partly offset by a decrease of USD 87m in real estate and logistics costs. The third quarter of 2025 includes net expenses of USD 41m for provisions for litigation, regulatory and similar matters, reflecting a USD 321m net release related to the resolution of a legacy matter concerning cross-border business activities in France, more than offset by expenses related to increases in other litigation provisions.
Depreciation, amortization and impairment of non-financial assets decreased by USD 112m to USD 726m, primarily reflecting an USD 88m decrease in depreciation of leased real estate as a result of higher levels of accelerated depreciation in the third quarter of 2024. In addition, there was a USD 54m decrease in the amortization of internally generated capitalized software, reflecting a lower cost base of software assets. The decreases were partly offset by a USD 39m increase in impairments, mainly related to internally generated capitalized software.
UBS AG had a net income tax expense of USD 213m in the third quarter of 2025, representing an effective tax rate of 14.1%, compared with USD 194m in the third quarter of 2024 and an effective tax rate of 16.3%.
The net current tax expense was USD 282m, which primarily related to the taxable profits of UBS Switzerland AG and other entities.
There was a net deferred tax benefit of USD 68m. This reflected a net deferred tax expense of USD 63m that mainly related to the amortization of deferred tax assets (DTAs) previously recognized in relation to tax losses carried forward and deductible temporary differences, more than offset by a USD 109m benefit in respect of the tax deduction for deferred compensation awards and a USD 22m benefit due to an increase in DTA recognition within UBS AG's US branch.
In the third quarter of 2025, total comprehensive income attributable to shareholders was USD 841m, reflecting a net profit of USD 1,288m and other comprehensive income (OCI), net of tax, of negative USD 447m.
OCI related to own credit on financial liabilities designated at fair value was negative USD 576m, primarily due to a tightening of our own credit spreads.
Foreign currency translation OCI was negative USD 116m, mainly resulting from the US dollar strengthening against the Swiss franc, the euro and the pound sterling.
OCI related to cash flow hedges was USD 178m, mainly reflecting net losses on hedging instruments that were reclassified from OCI to the income statement.
As of 30 September 2025, it is estimated that a parallel shift in yield curves by +100 basis points could lead to a combined increase in annual net interest income from our banking book of approximately USD 1.4bn in the first year after such a shift. Of this increase, approximately USD 0.8bn, USD 0.4bn and USD 0.1bn would result from changes in Swiss franc, US dollar and euro interest rates, respectively.
A parallel shift in yield curves by –100 basis points could lead to a combined increase in annual net interest income of approximately USD 1.0bn. Of this increase, approximately USD 1.6bn would result from changes in Swiss franc interest rates, driven by both contractual and assumed flooring benefits under negative interest rates. US dollar and euro interest rates would lead to an offsetting decrease of USD 0.4bn and USD 0.1bn, respectively.
These estimates do not represent net interest income forecasts, as they are based on a hypothetical scenario of an immediate change in interest rates, equal across all currencies and relative to implied forward rates as of 30 September 2025 applied to our banking book. These estimates further assume no change to balance sheet size and product mix, stable foreign exchange rates, and no specific management action.

Below is an overview of selected key figures of UBS AG consolidated. For further information about key figures related to capital management, refer to the "Capital management" section of this report.
The cost / income ratio was 87.0%, compared with 88.7%, mainly reflecting an increase in total revenues, partly offset by higher operating expenses.
The number of internal personnel employed was 62,636 (full-time equivalents) as of 30 September 2025, a net decrease of 322 compared with 30 June 2025.

During the third quarter of 2025, common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital increased by USD 1.6bn to USD 71.5bn, mainly driven by operating profit before tax of USD 1.5bn, partly offset by current tax expenses of USD 0.3bn and foreign currency translation losses of USD 0.1bn.
The annualized return on CET1 capital was 7.3%, compared with 4.8%, driven by higher net profit attributable to shareholders and a decrease in average CET1 capital.
During the third quarter of 2025, risk-weighted assets (RWA) increased by USD 4.1bn to USD 502.4bn, driven by a USD 6.6bn increase resulting from asset size and other movements, partly offset by a USD 1.5bn decrease driven by model updates and methodology changes and a USD 1.0bn decrease from currency effects.
The CET1 capital ratio increased to 14.2% from 14.0%, reflecting the aforementioned increase in CET1 capital, partly offset by the aforementioned increase in RWA.
During the third quarter of 2025, the leverage ratio denominator (the LRD) decreased by USD 17.3bn to USD 1,642.8bn, mainly driven by asset size and other movements of USD 12.1bn and currency effects of USD 5.2bn.
The CET1 leverage ratio increased to 4.3% from 4.2%, reflecting the aforementioned increase in CET1 capital and the aforementioned decrease in the LRD.
The legal merger of UBS AG and Credit Suisse AG on 31 May 2024 has had a significant impact on the results from June 2024 onward. This discussion and analysis of results compares the first nine months of 2025, which cover nine full months of post-merger results, with the first nine months of 2024, which included only four months of post-merger results. This is a material driver in many of the increases across both revenues and operating expenses.
› Refer to "Note 2 Accounting for the merger of UBS AG and Credit Suisse AG" in the "Consolidated financial statements" section of this report for more information about the accounting for the merger of UBS AG and Credit Suisse AG
Operating profit before tax increased by USD 1,334m, or 56%, to USD 3,708m, reflecting a USD 5,238m increase in total revenues, which was partly offset by a USD 3,819m increase in operating expenses. Net credit loss expenses were USD 388m compared with USD 303m in the first nine months of 2024.
Total combined net interest income and other net income from financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss increased by USD 2,420m to USD 15,316m. Global Wealth Management revenues increased by USD 906m, mainly driven by the consolidation of Credit Suisse AG revenues for the full period. The remaining variance was driven by balance sheet optimization measures, lower liquidity and funding costs, positive foreign currency effects, and the effects of favorable changes in deposit mix, partly offset by the impact of lower central bank interest rates on deposit revenues and by lower loan revenues, which reflected margin contraction. Personal & Corporate Banking revenues increased by USD 626m, largely reflecting the consolidation of Credit Suisse AG net interest income for the full period. Investment Bank revenues increased by USD 1,238m, mainly in Global Markets, due to an increase in Derivatives & Solutions revenues that resulted from higher revenues across all products, as well as higher revenues in Financing, led by Prime Brokerage, supported by higher client balances. Non-core and Legacy revenues were negative USD 124m, compared with positive USD 203m in the first nine months of 2024, mainly due to lower net gains from position exits and lower net interest income from securitized product and credit portfolios and the effect from the consolidation of Credit Suisse AG revenues for the full period, partly offset by lower markdowns.
Net fee and commission income increased by USD 3,169m to USD 20,253m. Fees for portfolio management and related services increased by USD 1,320m and investment fund fees increased by USD 772m, which included increases driven by the consolidation of Credit Suisse AG revenues for the full period, predominantly in Global Wealth Management and Asset Management. The year-on-year increase in Global Wealth Management in these fee categories was also driven by higher average levels of fee-generating assets reflecting positive impacts from market performance, and net new fee-generating asset inflows over the course of the last 12 months. Net brokerage fees increased by USD 761m due to higher levels of client activity across the Asia Pacific, EMEA and Americas regions in Global Wealth Management and also due to higher volumes, across all regions, in Cash Equities in Execution Services in the Investment Bank.
Other income was USD 675m compared with USD 1,025m in the first nine months of 2024 and included the consolidation of Credit Suisse AG income for the full period. The first nine months of 2025 included a USD 128m gain from the sale of a stake in CSS, a USD 64m gain from the Swisscard transactions and a USD 33m gain from the sale of our wealth management business in India. These gains were partly offset by a USD 156m loss relating to an investment in an associate. The first nine months of 2024 included a USD 119m gain related to the sale of an investment in an associate, as well as a USD 113m net gain from disposals.
Personnel expenses increased by USD 2,610m to USD 17,356m, mainly reflecting the consolidation of Credit Suisse AG expenses for the full period. Additionally, there were increases in financial advisor compensation, resulting from higher compensable revenues, and accruals for variable compensation, as well as integration-related expenses for post-employment benefit plans.
General and administrative expenses increased by USD 1,024m to USD 12,608m, mainly driven by the consolidation of Credit Suisse AG expenses for the full period. The overall increase was largely attributable to an increase of USD 1,079m related to shared services costs for Technology, Finance and Risk charged by shared services subsidiaries of the UBS Group. General and administrative expenses also included a USD 180m expense related to the Swisscard transactions in Personal & Corporate Banking and increases of USD 103m in technology costs and USD 96m in consulting, legal and audit fees. These increases were partly offset by a USD 721m decrease in expenses for litigation, regulatory and similar matters, mainly due to the costs recognized in the first nine months of 2024 when UBS agreed to fund an offer by the Credit Suisse supply chain finance funds to redeem all of the outstanding units in the respective funds.
With valuations elevated across most asset classes entering the fourth quarter, investors remain engaged but increasingly focused on hedging downside risks, which is also evident in periodic headline-driven spikes in volatility. Against this backdrop, transactional activity and our deal pipelines remain healthy, though sentiment can shift quickly as confidence in the outlook is tested and seasonal effects come into play. Furthermore, macro uncertainties along with a strong Swiss franc and higher US tariffs are clouding the outlook for the Swiss economy, and a prolonged US government shutdown may delay capital market activities.
In the fourth quarter, we expect net interest income in US dollars to remain broadly stable in each of Global Wealth Management and Personal & Corporate Banking. Credit loss expense in Personal & Corporate Banking is projected at around CHF 80m. Quarter-end transactional activity levels in the Investment Bank are likely to normalize compared with the strong prior-year period when markets were unusually active ahead of the US administration change.
We remain focused on actively engaging with our clients, helping them to navigate a complex environment while executing on our growth and integration plans. We are confident in our ability to deliver on our 2026 financial targets, leveraging the power of our diversified business model and global footprint.

Invested assets increased by USD 202bn, or 4%, to USD 4,714bn, mainly driven by positive market performance of USD 177bn and net new asset inflows, partly offset by negative foreign currency effects of USD 7bn. Positive net new assets were driven by inflows in the Asia Pacific region, including flows linked to strategic holdings and higher levels of client activity across the region. The EMEA and Switzerland regions also contributed positive net new assets.
Loans increased by USD 3.6bn to USD 323.5bn, mainly driven by positive net new loans.

Total revenues increased by USD 2,695m, or 17%, to USD 18,861m, mainly reflecting higher recurring net fee income, transaction-based income and net interest income. The remaining increase was due to the consolidation of Credit Suisse AG revenues for the full period.
Net interest income increased by USD 648m, or 15%, to USD 4,831m, mainly driven by the consolidation of Credit Suisse AG net interest income for the full period.

These increases were partly offset by the impact of lower central bank interest rates on deposit revenues and by lower loan revenues, which reflected margin contraction.
Recurring net fee income increased by USD 1,280m, or 15%, to USD 10,101m, mainly due to higher average levels of fee-generating assets reflecting positive impacts from market performance and net new fee-generating asset inflows over the course of the last 12 months, largely driven by mandate sales. The increase was also due to the consolidation of Credit Suisse AG recurring net fee income for the full period.
Transaction-based income increased by USD 831m, or 27%, to USD 3,919m, mainly driven by higher levels of client activity across the Asia Pacific, EMEA and Americas regions and by the consolidation of Credit Suisse AG transaction-based income for the full period.
Other income decreased by USD 63m to USD 11m, mostly due to lower shared services costs charged to other subsidiaries of UBS Group AG, mainly related to secondments, and included a net loss of USD 42m related to an investment in an associate, partly offset by a USD 33m gain from the sale of our wealth management business in India.
Net credit loss expenses were USD 13m, compared with net credit loss expenses of USD 10m in the first nine months of 2024.
Operating expenses increased by USD 1,804m, or 13%, to USD 15,383m, mainly driven by the consolidation of Credit Suisse AG operating expenses for the full period and by an increase in financial advisor compensation as a result of higher compensable revenues, partly offset by net releases in provisions for litigation, regulatory and similar matters, primarily reflecting USD 284m of releases related to the resolution of a legacy matter concerning crossborder business activities in France.

Profit before tax decreased by CHF 243m, or 43%, to CHF 318m, as lower total revenues and higher operating expenses were partly offset by lower net credit loss expenses.
Total revenues decreased by CHF 216m, or 12%, to CHF 1,661m, mainly due to lower net interest income and other income, and included a loss of CHF 81m related to an investment in an associate.
Net interest income decreased by CHF 121m, or 11%, to CHF 938m, mainly reflecting the impact of lower central bank interest rates on deposit revenues. This was partly offset by deposit pricing measures and lower liquidity and funding costs.
Recurring net fee income decreased by CHF 3m, or 1%, to CHF 337m and largely consisted of fees for services provided on an ongoing basis, such as administrative fees for accounts, custody fees, asset-based investment fund fees and portfolio management fees. The year-on-year change was negatively affected by lower Swisscard revenues and a reclassification of recurring net fee income to transaction-based income as a result of aligning Credit Suisse's presentation to that of UBS in the second half of 2024. These effects were partly offset by higher custody fees, mainly reflecting positive market performance and net new inflows.
Transaction-based income increased by CHF 21m, or 5%, to CHF 443m, mostly due to higher corporate finance fees and the positive effect from the aforementioned reclassification.
Other income was negative CHF 57m, compared with positive CHF 56m and included a loss of CHF 81m related to an investment in an associate.
Net credit loss expenses were CHF 62m and mainly reflected net expenses on credit-impaired positions. Net credit loss expenses in the prior-year quarter were CHF 72m.

Performance fees increased by USD 65m, or 71%, to USD 156m, all of which was reported within net fee and commission income for UBS AG.

Operating expenses decreased by USD 114m, or 13%, to USD 737m, primarily driven by lower non-personnel and personnel expenses, partly offset by net expenses related to provisions for litigation, regulatory and similar matters.
Loss before tax was USD 2,351m, compared with a loss before tax of USD 2,184m.
Total revenues were negative USD 110m, compared with total revenues of USD 411m, mainly reflecting lower net gains from position exits and lower net interest income from securitized product and credit portfolios and the effect from the consolidation of Credit Suisse AG revenues for the full period, partly offset by lower markdowns. Total revenues in the first nine months of 2025 included a loss of USD 11m from the sale of Select Portfolio Servicing, the US mortgage servicing business of Credit Suisse. Total revenues in the first nine months of 2024 included a USD 67m gain from the sale of our investment in an associate.
Net credit loss expenses were USD 15m, compared with net credit loss expenses of USD 53m in the first nine months of 2024.
Operating expenses decreased by USD 317m, or 12%, to USD 2,225m, mainly due to the first nine months of 2024 including litigation expenses of USD 1,074m, largely reflecting UBS agreeing in the second quarter of 2024 to fund an offer by the Credit Suisse supply chain finance funds to redeem all the outstanding units of the respective funds. This effect was partly offset by USD 497m of net expenses related to provisions for litigation, regulatory and similar matters in the first nine months of 2025 and the effect from the consolidation of Credit Suisse AG operating expenses for the full period.

Loss before tax was USD 255m, mainly reflecting operating expenses and deferred tax asset (DTA) funding costs. The USD 194m, or 321%, change in the result between quarters was largely due to lower mark-to-market gains from Group hedging and own debt, including hedge accounting ineffectiveness.
Loss before tax was USD 917m, mainly reflecting operating expenses, DTA funding costs and mark-to-market losses from Group hedging and own debt, including hedge accounting ineffectiveness. The USD 173m, or 23%, change in loss before tax between periods was largely due to an increase in provisions for litigation, regulatory and similar matters, higher shared services costs charged by other subsidiaries of UBS Group AG, and losses from disposals of properties held for sale. In addition, the first nine months of 2025 included lower mark-to-market losses from Group hedging and own debt, including hedge accounting ineffectiveness, compared with the first nine months of 2024.

The total banking products exposure of UBS AG consolidated as of 30 September 2025 was USD 1,091.0bn, i.e. USD 7.3bn, or 0.7%, higher than the exposure of UBS Group AG consolidated. As of 30 June 2025, the total banking products exposure of UBS AG consolidated was USD 1,111.9bn, i.e. USD 7.7bn, or 0.7%, higher than the exposure of UBS Group AG consolidated.
The disclosures in this section are provided for UBS AG on a consolidated basis and focus on information in accordance with the Basel III framework, as applicable to Swiss systemically relevant banks (SRBs). They should be read in conjunction with "Capital management" in the "Capital, liquidity and funding, and balance sheet" section of the UBS AG Annual Report 2024, available under "Annual reporting" at ubs.com/investors, which provides more information about relevant capital management objectives, planning and activities, as well as the Swiss SRB total loss-absorbing capacity framework, on a UBS AG consolidated basis.

1 Includes applicable add-ons of 1.70% for risk-weighted assets (RWA) and 0.51% for leverage ratio denominator (LRD), of which 2 basis points for RWA and 1 basis point for LRD reflect a Pillar 2 capital add-on of USD 107m related to the supply chain finance funds matter at Credit Suisse. An additional 23 basis points for RWA reflect a Pillar 2 capital add-on for the residual exposure (after collateral mitigation) to hedge funds, private equity and family offices, effective 1 January 2025. 2 Includes the Pillar 2 add-on for the residual exposure (after collateral mitigation) to hedge funds, private equity and family offices of 0.16% for CET1 capital and 0.07% for AT1 capital, effective 1 January 2025. For AT1 capital, under Pillar 1 requirements a maximum of 4.3% of AT1 capital can be used to meet going concern requirements; 4.37% includes the aforementioned Pillar 2 capital add-on. 3 Our CET1 leverage ratio requirement of 3.51% consists of a 1.5% base requirement, a 1.5% base buffer capital requirement, a 0.25% LRD add-on requirement, a 0.25% market share add-on requirement based on our Swiss credit business and a 0.01% Pillar 2 capital add-on related to the supply chain finance funds matter at Credit Suisse. 4 A maximum of 25% of the gone concern requirements can be met with instruments that have a remaining maturity of between one and two years. Once at least 75% of the minimum gone concern requirement has been met with instruments that have a remaining maturity of greater than two years, all instruments that have a remaining maturity of between one and two years remain eligible to be included in the total gone concern capital. 5 From 1 January 2023, the resolvability discount on the gone concern capital requirements for systemically important banks (SIBs) has been replaced with reduced base gone concern capital requirements equivalent to 75% of the total going concern requirements (excluding countercyclical buffer requirements and the Pillar 2 add-ons). 6 As of July 2024, FINMA has the authority to impose a surcharge of up to 25% of the total going concern capital requirements (excluding countercyclical buffer requirements and the Pillar 2 add-ons) should obstacles to an SIB's resolvability be identified in future resolvability assessments. 7 Includes applicable add-ons of 1.08% for RWA and 0.38% for LRD.
UBS AG, on a consolidated basis, is subject to the going and gone concern requirements of the Swiss CAO, which include additional requirements applicable to Swiss SRBs. The table above provides the risk-weighted asset (RWA) and leverage ratio denominator (LRD)-based requirements and information as of 30 September 2025.
UBS AG and UBS Switzerland AG are subject to going and gone concern requirements on a standalone basis.
Effective 1 January 2025, a Pillar 2 capital add-on for uncollateralized exposures to hedge funds, private equity and family offices has been introduced. This resulted in an increase of 23 basis points in the RWA-based going concern capital requirement as of 30 September 2025.
On a standalone basis as of 30 September 2025, UBS AG's fully applied common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio was 13.3%. Additional capital information for UBS AG standalone is provided in the UBS Group and significant regulated subsidiaries and sub-groups 30 September 2025 Pillar 3 Report, available under "Pillar 3 disclosures" at ubs.com/investors.
The table below provides Swiss SRB going and gone concern information based on the Swiss SRB framework and requirements that are discussed under "Capital management" in the "Capital, liquidity and funding, and balance sheet" section of the UBS AG Annual Report 2024, available under "Annual reporting" at ubs.com/investors. Changes to the Swiss SRB framework and requirements after the publication of the UBS AG Annual Report 2024 are described above.

1 Reflects the appropriation of USD 6,500m to a special dividend reserve approved at the 2025 Annual General Meeting in April 2025. The supplementary dividend of USD 6,500m was paid to UBS Group AG in October 2025 as approved by the Extraordinary General Meeting.
The going concern capital of UBS AG consolidated was USD 3.5bn lower than the going concern capital of UBS Group AG consolidated as of 30 September 2025, reflecting CET1 capital being USD 3.2bn lower and going concern loss-absorbing additional tier 1 (AT1) capital being USD 0.3bn lower.
The aforementioned difference in CET1 capital was primarily due to a USD 12.2bn difference in dividend accruals between UBS AG and UBS Group AG, partly offset by UBS Group AG's consolidated equity being USD 5.4bn lower, compensation-related regulatory capital accruals at the UBS Group AG level of USD 2.3bn, a capital reserve for expected future share repurchases of USD 0.9bn and a USD 0.4bn effect from eligible deferred tax assets on temporary differences.
The going concern loss-absorbing AT1 capital of UBS AG consolidated was USD 0.3bn lower than that of UBS Group AG consolidated as of 30 September 2025, mainly reflecting deferred contingent capital plan awards granted at the Group level to eligible employees for the 2020 to 2024 performance years.
Differences in capital between UBS AG consolidated and UBS Group AG consolidated related to employee compensation plans will reverse to the extent underlying services are performed by employees of, and are consequently charged to, UBS AG and its subsidiaries. Such reversal generally occurs over the service period of the employee compensation plan.
The LRD of UBS AG consolidated was USD 2.4bn higher than the LRD of UBS Group AG consolidated, mainly reflecting intercompany exposures in UBS AG toward Group entities, as well as purchase price allocation (PPA) adjustments that apply at the Group level but not at the UBS AG level, partly offset by fixed assets held outside of the UBS AG consolidation scope.
The RWA of UBS AG consolidated were USD 2.5bn lower than the RWA of UBS Group AG consolidated, mainly reflecting non-counterparty-related assets held outside the UBS AG consolidation scope, partly offset by intercompany credit risk exposures in UBS AG toward Group entities outside of the UBS AG consolidation scope.
The LRD for UBS AG consolidated exceeds that of UBS Group AG consolidated, and UBS AG's RWA are lower than those of UBS Group AG consolidated. This divergence stems mainly from certain PPA adjustments that apply at the Group level but not at the UBS AG level and are subject to low risk weights.

The consolidated financial statements (the financial statements) of UBS AG and its subsidiaries (together, UBS AG) are prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (the IASB), and are presented in US dollars. These interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting.
In preparing these interim financial statements, the same accounting policies and methods of computation have been applied as in the UBS AG consolidated annual financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2024. These interim financial statements are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with: the audited consolidated financial statements in the UBS AG Annual Report 2024; the "Management report" sections of this report, specifically the disclosures in the "Recent developments" section of this report regarding the sale of a 36.01% stake in Credit Suisse Securities (China) Limited and in the "UBS AG performance, business divisions and Group Items" section of this report regarding the sale of Select Portfolio Servicing (the US mortgage servicing business of Credit Suisse), the transactions related to Swisscard and the sale of UBS's wealth management business in India; and the information about significant transactions disclosed in the UBS AG first quarter 2025 report and UBS AG second quarter 2025 report. In the opinion of management, all necessary adjustments have been made for a fair presentation of UBS AG's financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Preparation of these interim financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, expenses and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates and assumptions are based on the best available information. Actual results in the future could differ from such estimates and differences may be material to the financial statements. Revisions to estimates, based on regular reviews, are recognized in the period in which they occur. For more information about areas of estimation uncertainty that are considered to require critical judgment, refer to "Note 1a Material accounting policies" in the "Consolidated financial statements" section of the UBS AG Annual Report 2024.

Total net credit loss expenses in the third quarter of 2025 were USD 113m, reflecting USD 8m net expenses related to performing positions and USD 105m net expenses on credit-impaired positions.
Net expected credit loss expenses on the performing portfolio were primarily driven by net expenses in the corporate lending portfolios of Personal & Corporate Banking and the Investment Bank. These expenses were partly offset by releases in the real estate portfolios. UBS has updated several expected credit loss models within the real estate and corporate lending portfolios to enhance risk differentiation and incorporate the latest default history.
Credit loss expenses of USD 105m for credit-impaired positions primarily related to a small number of corporate counterparties in Personal & Corporate Banking and the Investment Bank.

The expected credit loss (ECL) scenarios, along with their related macroeconomic factors and market data, were reviewed in light of the economic and political conditions prevailing in the third quarter of 2025 through a series of governance meetings, with input and feedback from UBS AG Risk and Finance experts across the business divisions and regions.
The baseline scenario was updated with the latest macroeconomic forecasts as of 30 September 2025. The assumptions on a calendar-year basis are included in the table below. The scenario assumes growth in Switzerland will remain muted in 2025 and slow in the second half of the year, reflecting a subdued outlook due to tariffs and the appreciation of the Swiss franc in the second quarter of 2025. For the US, the outlook has improved slightly, but the scenario still assumes a slowdown in the second half of 2025, reflecting a cooling labor market and the impact of tariffs on domestic demand. Expectations for long-term interest rates in the US and Switzerland are slightly lower than in the previous quarter.
At the beginning of the first quarter of 2025, UBS AG replaced the stagflationary geopolitical crisis scenario applied at the end of 2024 with the global crisis scenario, as the severe downside scenario. It targets risks such as sovereign defaults, low interest rates, a crisis in the Eurozone and significant emerging-market stress. The moderate stagflation crisis scenario replaced the mild debt crisis scenario as the mild downside scenario. In the moderate stagflation crisis scenario, interest rates are assumed to rise rather than decline, as in the previously applied mild debt crisis scenario. However, the declines in gross domestic product and equities are similar.
UBS AG kept the scenarios and scenario weights in line with those applied in the UBS AG second quarter 2025 report. All of the scenarios, including the asset price appreciation and the baseline scenarios, have been updated based on the latest macroeconomic forecasts as of 30 September 2025. The assumptions on a calendar-year basis are included in the table below.

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

1 The carrying amount of financial assets measured at amortized cost represents the total gross exposure net of the respective ECL allowances.
The table below provides information about the gross carrying amount of exposures subject to ECL and the ECL coverage ratio for UBS AG's core loan portfolios (i.e. Loans and advances to customers and Loans to financial advisors) and relevant off-balance sheet exposures. Cash and balances at central banks, Amounts due from banks, Receivables from securities financing transactions, Cash collateral receivables on derivative instruments and Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are not included in the table below, due to their lower sensitivity to ECL.
ECL coverage ratios are calculated by dividing ECL allowances and provisions by the gross carrying amount of the related exposures.
The overall coverage ratio for performing positions was unchanged at 10 basis points as of 30 September 2025. Compared with 30 June 2025, the coverage ratio for performing positions related to real estate lending (on-balance sheet) decreased by 1 basis point to 3 basis points, and the coverage ratio for performing positions related to corporate lending (on-balance sheet) was unchanged at 74 basis points.

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

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

The table below presents additional information about material Level 3 assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Level 3 assets and liabilities may be hedged with instruments classified as Level 1 or Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy and, as a result, realized and unrealized gains and losses included in the table may not include the effect of related hedging activity. Furthermore, the realized and unrealized gains and losses presented in the table are not limited solely to those arising from Level 3 inputs, as valuations are generally derived from both observable and unobservable parameters.
Assets and liabilities transferred into or out of Level 3 are presented as if those assets or liabilities had been transferred on 1 January 2025.

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

Information about provisions and contingent liabilities with respect to litigation, regulatory and similar matters, as a class, is included in Note 16b. There are no material contingent liabilities associated with the other classes of provisions.
UBS operates in a legal and regulatory environment that exposes it to significant litigation and similar risks arising from disputes and regulatory proceedings. As a result, UBS is involved in various disputes and legal proceedings, including litigation, arbitration, and regulatory and criminal investigations. "UBS", "we" and "our", for purposes of this Note, refer to UBS AG and / or one or more of its subsidiaries, as applicable.
Such matters are subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome and the timing of resolution are often difficult to predict, particularly in the earlier stages of a case. There are also situations where UBS may enter into a settlement agreement. This may occur in order to avoid the expense, management distraction or reputational implications of continuing to contest liability, even for those matters for which UBS believes it should be exonerated. The uncertainties inherent in all such matters affect the amount and timing of any potential outflows for both matters with respect to which provisions have been established and other contingent liabilities. UBS makes provisions for such matters brought against it when, in the opinion of management after seeking legal advice, it is more likely than not that UBS has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required, and the amount can be reliably estimated. Where these factors are otherwise satisfied, a provision may be established for claims that have not yet been asserted against UBS, but are nevertheless expected to be, based on UBS's experience with similar asserted claims. If any of those conditions is not met, such matters result in contingent liabilities. If the amount of an obligation cannot be reliably estimated, a liability exists that is not recognized even if an outflow of resources is probable. Accordingly, no provision is established even if the potential outflow of resources with respect to such matters could be significant. Developments relating to a matter that occur after the relevant reporting period, but prior to the issuance of financial statements, which affect management's assessment of the provision for such matter (because, for example, the developments provide evidence of conditions that existed at the end of the reporting period), are adjusting events after the reporting period under IAS 10 and must be recognized in the financial statements for the reporting period.
Specific litigation, regulatory and other matters are described below, including all such matters that management considers to be material and others that management believes to be of significance to UBS due to potential financial, reputational and other effects. The amount of damages claimed, the size of a transaction or other information is provided where available and appropriate in order to assist users in considering the magnitude of potential exposures.
In the case of certain matters below, we state that we have established a provision, and for the other matters, we make no such statement. When we make this statement and we expect disclosure of the amount of a provision to prejudice seriously our position with other parties in the matter because it would reveal what UBS believes to be the probable and reliably estimable outflow, we do not disclose that amount. In some cases we are subject to confidentiality obligations that preclude such disclosure. With respect to the matters for which we do not state whether we have established a provision, either: (a) we have not established a provision; or (b) we have established a provision but expect disclosure of that fact to prejudice seriously our position with other parties in the matter because it would reveal the fact that UBS believes an outflow of resources to be probable and reliably estimable.
With respect to certain litigation, regulatory and similar matters for which we have established provisions, we are able to estimate the expected timing of outflows. However, the aggregate amount of the expected outflows for those matters for which we are able to estimate expected timing is immaterial relative to our current and expected levels of liquidity over the relevant time periods.
The aggregate amount provisioned for litigation, regulatory and similar matters as a class is disclosed in the "Provisions" table in Note 16a above. UBS provides below an estimate of the aggregate liability for its litigation, regulatory and similar matters as a class of contingent liabilities. Estimates of contingent liabilities are inherently imprecise and uncertain as these estimates require UBS to make speculative legal assessments as to claims and proceedings that involve unique fact patterns or novel legal theories, that have not yet been initiated or are at early stages of adjudication, or as to which alleged damages have not been quantified by the claimants. Taking into account these uncertainties and the other factors described herein, UBS estimates the future losses that could arise from litigation, regulatory and similar matters disclosed below for which an estimate is possible, that are not covered by existing provisions are in the range of USD 0bn to USD 2bn.
Litigation, regulatory and similar matters may also result in non-monetary penalties and consequences. A guilty plea to, or conviction of, a crime could have material consequences for UBS. Resolution of regulatory proceedings may require UBS to obtain waivers of regulatory disqualifications to maintain certain operations, may entitle regulatory authorities to limit, suspend or terminate licenses and regulatory authorizations, and may permit financial market utilities to limit, suspend or terminate UBS's participation in such utilities. Failure to obtain such waivers, or any limitation, suspension or termination of licenses, authorizations or participations, could have material consequences for UBS.

Tax and regulatory authorities in a number of countries have made inquiries, served requests for information or examined employees located in their respective jurisdictions relating to the cross-border wealth management services provided by UBS and other financial institutions. Credit Suisse offices in various locations, including the UK, the Netherlands, France and Belgium, have been contacted by regulatory and law enforcement authorities seeking records and information concerning investigations into Credit Suisse's historical private banking services on a crossborder basis and in part through its local branches and banks. The UK and French aspects of these issues have been closed. UBS is continuing to cooperate with the authorities.
Since 2013, UBS (France) S.A., UBS AG and certain former employees have been under investigation in France in relation to UBS's cross-border business with French clients. In connection with this investigation, the investigating judges ordered UBS AG to provide bail ("caution") of EUR 1.1bn.
In 2019, the court of first instance returned a verdict finding UBS AG guilty of unlawful solicitation of clients on French territory and aggravated laundering of the proceeds of tax fraud, and UBS (France) S.A. guilty of aiding and abetting unlawful solicitation and of laundering the proceeds of tax fraud. The court imposed fines aggregating EUR 3.7bn on UBS AG and UBS (France) S.A. and awarded EUR 800m of civil damages to the French state. A trial in the Paris Court of Appeal took place in March 2021. In December 2021, the Court of Appeal found UBS AG guilty of unlawful solicitation and aggravated laundering of the proceeds of tax fraud. The court ordered a fine of EUR 3.75m, the confiscation of EUR 1bn, and awarded civil damages to the French state of EUR 800m. UBS appealed the decision to the French Supreme Court. In November 2023, the Supreme Court upheld the Court of Appeal's decision regarding unlawful solicitation and aggravated laundering of the proceeds of tax fraud, but overturned the confiscation of EUR 1bn, the penalty of EUR 3.75m and the EUR 800m of civil damages awarded to the French state. The case was remanded to the Court of Appeal for a retrial regarding these overturned elements. In September 2025, UBS AG resolved the case and agreed to pay a fine of EUR 730m and EUR 105m in civil damages to the French State.
In May 2014, Credit Suisse AG entered into settlement agreements with the SEC, the Federal Reserve, and the New York Department of Financial Services and agreed with the US Department of Justice (the DOJ) to plead guilty to conspiring to aid and assist US taxpayers in filing false tax returns (the 2014 Plea Agreement). Credit Suisse continued to report to and cooperate with US authorities in accordance with its obligations under the 2014 Plea Agreement, including by conducting a review of cross-border services provided by Credit Suisse. In this connection, Credit Suisse provided information to US authorities regarding potentially undeclared US assets held by clients at Credit Suisse since the 2014 Plea Agreement. In May 2025, Credit Suisse Services AG entered into a plea agreement (the 2025 Plea Agreement) with the DOJ under which it agreed to plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to aid and assist in the preparation of false income tax returns relating to legacy Credit Suisse accounts booked in Credit Suisse's Swiss booking center, thereby settling the investigation into Credit Suisse's implementation of the 2014 Plea Agreement. In addition, Credit Suisse Services AG entered into a non-prosecution agreement with the DOJ (the 2025 NPA) relating to legacy Credit Suisse accounts booked in Credit Suisse's Singapore booking center. The 2025 Plea Agreement and the 2025 NPA provide for penalties, restitution and forfeiture of USD 511m in the aggregate. The 2025 Plea Agreement and the 2025 NPA include ongoing obligations of UBS to furnish information and cooperate with DOJ's investigations of legacy Credit Suisse accounts held by US persons in its Switzerland and Singapore booking centers and related accounts in other booking centers.
Our balance sheet at 30 September 2025 reflected provisions in an amount that UBS believes to be appropriate under the applicable accounting standard. As in the case of other matters for which we have established provisions, the future outflow of resources in respect of such matters cannot be determined with certainty based on currently available information and accordingly may ultimately prove to be substantially greater (or may be less) than the provision that we have recognized.
In relation to the Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC (BMIS) investment fraud, UBS AG, UBS (Luxembourg) S.A. (now UBS Europe SE, Luxembourg branch) and certain other UBS subsidiaries have been subject to inquiries by a number of regulators, including the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) and the Luxembourg Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier. Those inquiries concerned two third-party funds established under Luxembourg law, substantially all assets of which were with BMIS, as well as certain funds established in offshore jurisdictions with either direct or indirect exposure to BMIS. These funds faced severe losses, and the Luxembourg funds are in liquidation. The documentation establishing both funds identifies UBS entities in various roles, including custodian, administrator, manager, distributor and promoter, and indicates that UBS employees serve as board members.
In 2009 and 2010, the liquidators of the two Luxembourg funds filed claims against UBS entities, non-UBS entities and certain individuals, including current and former UBS employees, seeking amounts totaling approximately EUR 2.1bn, which includes amounts that the funds may be held liable to pay the trustee for the liquidation of BMIS (BMIS Trustee).
A large number of alleged beneficiaries have filed claims against UBS entities (and non-UBS entities) for purported losses relating to the Madoff fraud. The majority of these cases have been decided in favor of UBS or dismissed for want of prosecution.
In the US, the BMIS Trustee filed claims against UBS entities, among others, in relation to the two Luxembourg funds and one of the offshore funds. The total amount claimed against all defendants in these actions was not less than USD 2bn. In 2014, the US Supreme Court rejected the BMIS Trustee's motion for leave to appeal decisions, dismissing all claims against UBS defendants except those for the recovery of approximately USD 125m of payments alleged to be fraudulent conveyances and preference payments. Similar claims have been filed against Credit Suisse entities seeking to recover redemption payments. In 2016, the bankruptcy court dismissed these claims against the UBS entities and most of the Credit Suisse entities. In 2019, the Court of Appeals reversed the dismissal of the BMIS Trustee's remaining claims. The cases were remanded to the Bankruptcy Court for further proceedings.
Foreign-exchange-related regulatory matters: Beginning in 2013, numerous authorities commenced investigations concerning possible manipulation of foreign exchange markets and precious metals prices. As a result of these investigations, UBS entered into resolutions with Swiss, US and UK regulators and the European Commission. UBS was granted conditional immunity by the Antitrust Division of the DOJ and by authorities in other jurisdictions in connection with potential competition law violations relating to foreign exchange and precious metals businesses. In December 2021, the European Commission issued a decision imposing a fine of EUR 83.3m on Credit Suisse entities based on findings of anticompetitive practices in the foreign exchange market. UBS received leniency and accordingly no fine was assessed. Credit Suisse appealed the decision to the European General Court and, in July 2025, the court issued a judgment reducing the fine to EUR 28.9m. The judgment is now final.
Foreign-exchange-related civil litigation: Putative class actions have been filed since 2013 in US federal courts and in other jurisdictions against UBS, Credit Suisse and other banks on behalf of persons who engaged in foreign currency transactions with any of the defendant banks. UBS and Credit Suisse have resolved US federal court class actions relating to foreign currency transactions with the defendant banks and persons who transacted in foreign exchange futures contracts and options on such futures. Certain class members have excluded themselves from that settlement and filed individual actions in US and English courts against UBS, Credit Suisse and other banks, alleging violations of US and European competition laws and unjust enrichment. UBS, Credit Suisse and the other banks have resolved those individual matters. In addition, Credit Suisse and UBS, together with other financial institutions, were named in a consolidated putative class action in Israel, which made allegations similar to those made in the actions pursued in other jurisdictions. Credit Suisse and UBS entered into agreements to settle all claims in this action in April 2022 and February 2024, respectively. Credit Suisse's settlement received court approval and became final in May 2025. UBS's settlement remains subject to court approval.
LIBOR and other benchmark-related regulatory matters: Numerous government agencies conducted investigations regarding potential improper attempts by UBS, among others, to manipulate LIBOR and other benchmark rates at certain times. UBS and Credit Suisse reached settlements or otherwise concluded investigations relating to benchmark interest rates with the investigating authorities. UBS was granted conditional leniency or conditional immunity from authorities in certain jurisdictions, including the Antitrust Division of the DOJ and the Swiss Competition Commission (WEKO), in connection with potential antitrust or competition law violations related to certain rates. However, UBS has not reached a final settlement with WEKO, as the Secretariat of WEKO has asserted that UBS does not qualify for full immunity.
LIBOR and other benchmark-related civil litigation: A number of putative class actions and other actions are pending in the federal courts in New York against UBS and numerous other banks on behalf of parties who transacted in certain interest rate benchmark-based derivatives. Also pending in the US and in other jurisdictions are a number of other actions asserting losses related to various products whose interest rates were linked to LIBOR and other benchmarks, including adjustable rate mortgages, preferred and debt securities, bonds pledged as collateral, loans, depository accounts, investments and other interest-bearing instruments. The complaints allege manipulation, through various means, of certain benchmark interest rates, including USD LIBOR, Yen LIBOR, EURIBOR, CHF LIBOR, and GBP LIBOR and seek unspecified compensatory and other damages under various legal theories.
USD LIBOR class and individual actions in the US: Beginning in 2013, putative class actions were filed in US federal district courts (and subsequently consolidated in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York (SDNY)) by plaintiffs who engaged in over-the-counter instruments, exchange-traded Eurodollar futures and options, bonds or loans that referenced USD LIBOR. The complaints allege violations of antitrust law and the Commodities Exchange Act, as well as breach of contract and unjust enrichment. Following various rulings by the SDNY and the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit dismissing certain of the causes of action and allowing others to proceed, one class action with respect to transactions in over-the-counter instruments and several actions brought by individual plaintiffs proceeded in the district court. In September 2025, the district court granted defendants' motion for summary judgment as to all remaining actions. UBS and Credit Suisse previously entered into settlement agreements in respect of the class actions relating to exchange-traded instruments, bonds and loans. These settlements have received final court approval, and the actions have been dismissed as to UBS and Credit Suisse.
Other benchmark class actions in the US: The Yen LIBOR/Euroyen TIBOR, EURIBOR and GBP LIBOR actions have been dismissed. Plaintiffs have appealed the dismissals. In August 2025, the Second Circuit affirmed in part and reversed in part the district court's dismissal of the complaint in the EURIBOR action, returning the action to the district court. In September 2025, the Second Circuit affirmed the dismissal of the complaint in the GBP LIBOR action.
In January 2023, defendants moved to dismiss the complaint in the CHF LIBOR action. In 2023, the court approved a settlement by Credit Suisse of the claims against it in this matter. In September 2025, the court dismissed the complaint against the remaining defendants, including UBS.
Government bonds: In 2021, the European Commission issued a decision finding that UBS and six other banks breached European Union antitrust rules between 2007 and 2011 relating to European government bonds. The European Commission fined UBS EUR 172m, which amount was confirmed on appeal in March 2025. UBS has appealed to the European Court of Justice.
Credit default swap auction litigation – In June 2021, Credit Suisse, along with other banks and entities, was named in a putative class action filed in federal court in New Mexico alleging manipulation of credit default swap (CDS) final auction prices. Defendants filed a motion to enforce a previous CDS class action settlement in the SDNY. In January 2024, the SDNY ruled that, to the extent claims in the New Mexico action arise from conduct prior to 30 June 2014, those claims are barred by the SDNY settlement. The plaintiffs appealed and, in May 2025, the Second Circuit affirmed the SDNY decision.
With respect to additional matters and jurisdictions not encompassed by the settlements and orders referred to above, UBS's balance sheet at 30 September 2025 reflected a provision in an amount that UBS believes to be appropriate under the applicable accounting standard. As in the case of other matters for which we have established provisions, the future outflow of resources in respect of such matters cannot be determined with certainty based on currently available information and accordingly may ultimately prove to be substantially greater (or may be less) than the provision that we have recognized.
Government and regulatory related matters: DOJ RMBS settlement – In January 2017, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (CSS LLC) and its current and former US subsidiaries and US affiliates reached a settlement with the DOJ related to its legacy Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (RMBS) business, a business conducted through 2007. The settlement resolved potential civil claims by the DOJ related to certain of those Credit Suisse entities' packaging, marketing, structuring, arrangement, underwriting, issuance and sale of RMBS. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement a civil monetary penalty was paid to the DOJ in January 2017.

Since November 2014, a series of lawsuits have been filed against a number of banks, including Credit Suisse, in the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York (EDNY) and the SDNY alleging claims under the United States Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA) and the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act. The plaintiffs in each of these lawsuits are, or are relatives of, victims of various terrorist attacks in Iraq and allege a conspiracy and/or aiding and abetting based on allegations that various international financial institutions, including the defendants, agreed to alter, falsify or omit information from payment messages that involved Iranian parties for the express purpose of concealing the Iranian parties' financial activities and transactions from detection by US authorities. The lawsuits allege that this conduct has made it possible for Iran to transfer funds to Hezbollah and other terrorist organizations actively engaged in harming US military personnel and civilians. In January 2023, the Second Circuit affirmed a September 2019 ruling by the EDNY granting defendants' motion to dismiss the first filed lawsuit. In October 2023, the US Supreme Court denied plaintiffs' petition for a writ of certiorari, and in September 2025 the EDNY denied plaintiffs' motion to vacate the judgment. Of the other seven cases, four are stayed, including one that was dismissed as to Credit Suisse and most of the bank defendants prior to entry of the stay, and in three cases defendants moved to dismiss plaintiffs' amended complaints.
Several clients have claimed that a former relationship manager in Switzerland had exceeded his investment authority in the management of their portfolios, resulting in excessive concentrations of certain exposures and investment losses. Credit Suisse AG has investigated the claims, as well as transactions among the clients. Credit Suisse AG filed a criminal complaint against the former relationship manager with the Geneva Prosecutor's Office upon which the prosecutor initiated a criminal investigation. Several clients of the former relationship manager also filed criminal complaints with the Geneva Prosecutor's Office. In February 2018, the former relationship manager was sentenced to five years in prison by the Geneva criminal court for fraud, forgery and criminal mismanagement and ordered to pay damages of approximately USD 130m. On appeal, the Criminal Court of Appeals of Geneva and, subsequently, the Swiss Federal Supreme Court upheld the main findings of the Geneva criminal court.
Civil lawsuits have been initiated against Credit Suisse AG and / or certain affiliates in various jurisdictions, based on the findings established in the criminal proceedings against the former relationship manager.
In Singapore, in a now-concluded civil lawsuit, Credit Suisse Trust Limited was ordered to pay USD 461m, including interest and costs.

Credit Suisse Life (Bermuda) Ltd. appealed the decision. In June 2023, the Bermuda Court of Appeal confirmed the award and the Supreme Court of Bermuda's finding that Credit Suisse Life (Bermuda) Ltd. breached its contractual and fiduciary duties, but overturned the finding that Credit Suisse Life (Bermuda) Ltd. made fraudulent misrepresentations. In March 2024, Credit Suisse Life (Bermuda) Ltd. was granted leave to appeal the judgment to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council and a hearing on the appeal was held in June 2025. The Bermuda Court of Appeal also ordered that the current stay continue pending determination of the appeal on the condition that the damages awarded, plus interest calculated at the Bermuda statutory rate of 3.5%, remain in the escrow account.
In Switzerland, certain civil lawsuits have been commenced against Credit Suisse AG in the Court of First Instance of Geneva since March 2023.
Credit Suisse was subject to investigations by regulatory and enforcement authorities, as well as civil litigation, regarding certain Credit Suisse entities' arrangement of loan financing to Mozambique state enterprises, Proindicus S.A. and Empresa Moçambicana de Atum S.A. (EMATUM), a distribution to private investors of loan participation notes (LPN) related to the EMATUM financing in September 2013, and certain Credit Suisse entities' subsequent role in arranging the exchange of those LPNs for Eurobonds issued by the Republic of Mozambique. In 2019, three former Credit Suisse employees pleaded guilty in the EDNY to accepting improper personal benefits in connection with financing transactions carried out with two Mozambique state enterprises.
In October 2021, Credit Suisse reached settlements with the DOJ, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and FINMA to resolve inquiries by these agencies, including findings that Credit Suisse failed to appropriately organize and conduct its business with due skill and care, and manage risks. Credit Suisse Group AG entered into a three-year Deferred Prosecution Agreement (DPA) with the DOJ in connection with the criminal information charging Credit Suisse Group AG with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and Credit Suisse Securities (Europe) Limited (CSSEL) entered into a Plea Agreement and pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to violate the US federal wire fraud statute. Under the terms of the DPA, UBS Group AG (as successor to Credit Suisse Group AG) continued compliance enhancement and remediation efforts agreed by Credit Suisse, and undertake additional measures as outlined in the DPA. In January 2025, as permitted under the terms of the DPA, the DOJ elected to extend the term of the DPA until January 2026.
XIV litigation: Since March 2018, three class action complaints were filed in the SDNY on behalf of a putative class of purchasers of VelocityShares Daily Inverse VIX Short-Term Exchange Traded Notes linked to the S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures Index (XIV ETNs). The complaints have been consolidated and asserts claims against Credit Suisse for violations of various anti-fraud and anti-manipulation provisions of US securities laws arising from a decline in the value of XIV ETNs in February 2018. On appeal from an order of the SDNY dismissing all claims, the Second Circuit issued an order that reinstated a portion of the claims. In decisions in March 2023 and February 2025, the court granted class certification for two of the three classes proposed by plaintiffs and denied class certification of the third proposed class.
In December 2020, the Swiss Office of the Attorney General brought charges against Credit Suisse AG and other parties concerning the diligence and controls applied to a historical relationship with Bulgarian former clients who are alleged to have laundered funds through Credit Suisse AG accounts. In June 2022, following a trial, Credit Suisse AG was convicted in the Swiss Federal Criminal Court of certain historical organizational inadequacies in its anti-money-laundering framework and ordered to pay a fine of CHF 2m. In addition, the court seized certain client assets in the amount of approximately CHF 12m and ordered Credit Suisse AG to pay a compensatory claim in the amount of approximately CHF 19m. Credit Suisse AG appealed the decision to the Swiss Federal Court of Appeals. Following the merger of UBS AG and Credit Suisse AG, UBS AG confirmed the appeal. In November 2024, the court issued a judgment that acquitted UBS AG and annulled the fine and compensatory claim ordered by the first instance court. In February 2025, the court affirmed the acquittal of UBS AG, and the Office of the Attorney General has appealed the judgment to the Swiss Federal Supreme Court. UBS has also appealed, limited to the issue whether a successor entity by merger can be criminally liable for acts of the predecessor entity. In July 2025, the Swiss Federal Supreme Court granted the appeal filed by the Office of the Attorney General and ruled that the Swiss Federal Court of Appeals released its judgment without proper reasoning. The case was remanded to the Swiss Federal Court of Appeals to deliver a full and reasoned judgment.
Credit Suisse and UBS have received requests for documents and information in connection with inquiries, investigations and/or actions relating to their relationships with Archegos Capital Management (Archegos), including from FINMA (assisted by a third party appointed by FINMA), the DOJ, the SEC, the US Federal Reserve, the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), the US Senate Banking Committee, the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA), the FCA, the WEKO, the Hong Kong Competition Commission and other regulatory and governmental agencies. UBS is cooperating with the authorities in these matters. In July 2023, CSI and CSSEL entered into a settlement agreement with the PRA providing for the resolution of the PRA's investigation. Also in July 2023, FINMA issued a decree ordering remedial measures and the Federal Reserve Board issued an Order to Cease and Desist. Under the terms of the order, Credit Suisse paid a civil money penalty and agreed to undertake certain remedial measures relating to counterparty credit risk management, liquidity risk management and nonfinancial risk management, as well as enhancements to board oversight and governance. UBS Group, as the legal successor to Credit Suisse Group AG, is a party to the FINMA decree and Federal Reserve Board Cease and Desist Order.
Civil actions relating to Credit Suisse's relationship with Archegos have been filed against Credit Suisse and/or certain officers and directors, including claims for breaches of fiduciary duties. In one such case, the parties agreed in July 2025 to a settlement of USD 115m. Because the action was brought by shareholders on behalf of and for the benefit of Credit Suisse, after deducting any Court-awarded attorneys' fees and expenses and any applicable taxes, the cash recovery for the settlement will go to UBS, as successor to Credit Suisse, and will result in a net recovery for UBS.
The table below provides a comparison of selected financial and capital information of UBS AG consolidated and of UBS Group AG consolidated.
UBS AG and UBS Group AG both prepare consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. UBS Group AG has applied acquisition accounting as defined by IFRS 3, Business Combinations, to the acquisition of the Credit Suisse Group in 2023. The merger of UBS AG and Credit Suisse AG on 31 May 2024 has been accounted for as a business combination under common control, as defined in IFRS 3, using the historic carrying values of the assets and liabilities of Credit Suisse AG as at the date of the transaction (31 May 2024), determined under IFRS Accounting Standards. Therefore, differences exist between the accounting treatments applied at the UBS Group AG and UBS AG consolidated levels. There are also certain scope and presentation differences, as noted below.
› Refer to "Note 2 Accounting for the merger of UBS AG and Credit Suisse AG" in the "Consolidated financial statements" section of the UBS AG Annual Report 2024, available under "Annual reporting" at ubs.com/investors, for more information about the accounting for the merger of UBS AG and Credit Suisse AG
Assets, liabilities, revenues, operating expenses and tax expenses / (benefits) relating to UBS Group AG and its directly held subsidiaries, including UBS Business Solutions AG, are reflected in the consolidated financial statements of UBS Group AG but not in those of UBS AG. UBS AG's assets, liabilities, revenues and operating expenses related to transactions with UBS Group AG and its directly held subsidiaries, including UBS Business Solutions AG and other shared services subsidiaries, are not subject to elimination in the UBS AG consolidated financial statements, but are eliminated in the UBS Group AG consolidated financial statements.
In the third quarter of 2025, UBS AG consolidated recognized a net profit of USD 1,294m, while UBS Group AG consolidated recognized a net profit of USD 2,487m. The USD 1,193m difference was mainly due to certain purchase price allocation (PPA) effects recognized at the UBS Group AG level upon the acquisition of the Credit Suisse Group. These resulted in net accretion income at the UBS Group AG level, net of tax effects, whereas UBS AG has not applied acquisition accounting and does not have the PPA effects or the corresponding net income. The PPA effects also resulted in net releases for litigation, regulatory and similar matters for UBS Group AG (while UBS AG incurred net expenses). Other differences in net profit mainly arise as UBS Business Solutions AG and other shared services subsidiaries of UBS Group AG charge other legal entities within the UBS AG consolidation scope a markup on costs incurred for services provided.
As of 30 September 2025, the total assets of UBS AG consolidated were USD 1.6bn higher than the total assets of UBS Group AG consolidated. The difference mainly reflected PPA effects recognized at the UBS Group AG level upon the acquisition of the Credit Suisse Group, partly offset by consolidation scope differences. The total liabilities of UBS AG consolidated were USD 3.8bn lower than the total liabilities of UBS Group AG, mainly due to consolidation scope differences and PPA effects.
The equity of UBS AG consolidated was USD 5.4bn higher than the equity of UBS Group AG consolidated as of 30 September 2025. This difference was mainly due to consolidation scope differences of USD 2.8bn and PPA effects of USD 2.4bn recognized at the UBS Group AG level upon the acquisition of the Credit Suisse Group that did not impact UBS AG consolidated, primarily related to loans and loan commitments measured at amortized cost and contingent liabilities recognized under IFRS 3 for litigation, partly offset by PPA effects on real estate and debt issued.
The going concern capital of UBS AG consolidated was USD 3.5bn lower than the going concern capital of UBS Group AG consolidated as of 30 September 2025, reflecting the common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital of UBS AG being lower by USD 3.2bn and going concern loss-absorbing additional tier 1 (AT1) capital being USD 0.3bn lower.
The USD 3.2bn lower CET1 capital of UBS AG consolidated was primarily due to a USD 12.2bn difference in dividend accruals between UBS AG and UBS Group AG, partly offset by UBS Group AG consolidated equity being USD 5.4bn lower, compensation-related regulatory capital accruals at the UBS Group AG level of USD 2.3bn, a capital reserve for expected future share repurchases of USD 0.9bn and a USD 0.4bn effect from eligible deferred tax assets on temporary differences.
The quarterly average liquidity coverage ratio (the LCR) of UBS AG consolidated was 3.2 percentage points lower than the quarterly average LCR of UBS Group AG consolidated. The difference mainly reflected the higher net cash outflows of UBS AG consolidated from intercompany deposits and loans that are not within the Group consolidation scope but are within the UBS AG consolidation scope.
The net stable funding ratio (the NSFR) of UBS AG consolidated was 1.1 percentage points lower than the NSFR of UBS Group AG consolidated. The difference primarily reflected lower UBS AG consolidated eligible regulatory capital as compared to UBS Group AG consolidated.

An alternative performance measure (an APM) is a financial measure of historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows other than a financial measure defined or specified in the applicable recognized accounting standards or in other applicable regulations. A number of APMs are reported in the discussion of the financial and operating performance of the external reports (annual, quarterly and other reports). APMs are used to provide a more complete picture of operating performance and to reflect management's view of the fundamental drivers of the business results. A definition of each APM, the method used to calculate it and the information content are presented in alphabetical order in the table below.

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