Introduction and basis for preparation

Scope of Basel III Pillar 3 disclosures

The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (the BCBS) Basel III capital adequacy framework consists of three complementary pillars. Pillar 1 provides a framework for measuring minimum capital requirements for the credit, market, operational and non-counterparty-related risks faced by banks. Pillar 2 addresses the principles of the supervisory review process, emphasizing the need for a qualitative approach to supervising banks. Pillar 3 requires banks to publish a range of disclosures, mainly covering risk, capital, leverage, liquidity and remuneration.

This report provides Pillar 3 disclosures for the UBS Group, including the acquired Credit Suisse Group, and prudential key figures and regulatory information for UBS AG consolidated and standalone, UBS Switzerland AG standalone, UBS Europe SE consolidated, and UBS Americas Holding LLC consolidated, as well as Credit Suisse AG consolidated and standalone, Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG consolidated and standalone, Credit Suisse International standalone, and Credit Suisse Holdings (USA), Inc. consolidated in the respective sections under "Significant regulated subsidiaries and sub- groups."

This Pillar 3 Report has been prepared in accordance with Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) Pillar 3 disclosure requirements (FINMA Circular 2016/1 "Disclosure - banks") as revised on 8 December 2021, the underlying BCBS guidance "Revised Pillar 3 disclosure requirements" issued in January 2015, the "Frequently asked questions on the revised Pillar 3 disclosure requirements" issued in August 2016, the "Pillar 3 disclosure requirements - consolidated and enhanced framework" issued in March 2017 and the subsequent "Technical Amendment - Pillar 3 disclosure requirements - regulatory treatment of accounting provisions" issued in August 2018.

As UBS is considered a systemically relevant bank (an SRB) under Swiss banking law, UBS Group AG, UBS AG, Credit Suisse AG and Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG are required to comply with regulations based on the Basel III framework as applicable to Swiss SRBs on a consolidated basis.

Local regulators may also require the publication of Pillar 3 information at a subsidiary or sub-group level. Where applicable, these local disclosures are provided under "Holding company and significant regulated subsidiaries and sub- groups" at ubs.com/investors.

Significant regulatory developments, disclosure requirements and other changes

Swiss Federal Council releases its report on systemically important banks

In April 2024, the Swiss Federal Council released its report on banking stability that evaluates the regulation of systemically important banks. The report includes a comprehensive review of the acquisition of the Credit Suisse Group and concludes that the existing Swiss too-big-to-fail (TBTF) regime must be further developed and strengthened. The Swiss Federal Council proposes to introduce a broad package of measures, focused on three areas: strengthening prevention, strengthening liquidity and expanding the crisis toolkit.

Preventive measures include proposals to strengthen the capital base, to improve resolvability and tighten capital requirements for global systemically important banks, including the introduction of forward-looking elements for institution-specific Pillar 2 capital surcharges and increased capital adequacy requirements for foreign participations. The Swiss Federal Council also recommended preventive measures related to corporate governance, such as a senior management regime and stricter regulations regarding bonuses. To strengthen liquidity, the Swiss Federal Council intends to significantly expand the potential for the Swiss National Bank (the SNB) to provide more liquidity in a crisis. Furthermore, the Swiss Federal Council reiterated its support for the introduction of a public liquidity backstop. To expand the crisis toolkit, the Swiss Federal Council proposed measures that aim to minimize legal risks associated with the execution of resolution measures.

In the first half of 2025, the Swiss Federal Council is expected to present two packages to implement the proposed measures: one with changes at the ordinance level, which can be adopted by the Swiss Federal Council, and another, which will be submitted to the Parliament, with proposed legislative amendments. The Swiss Federal Council has stated that when drafting these two packages it will take into account the findings of the Parliamentary Investigation Committee concerning the role of the Swiss authorities in the rescue of the Credit Suisse Group. Due to the broad range of possible outcomes, the impact of the proposals on UBS can be fully assessed only when the implementation details become clearer.

FINMA publishes ordinances with implementing provisions for the revised Swiss Capital Adequacy Ordinance

In March 2024, FINMA published five new ordinances to implement the final Basel III standards in Switzerland, replacing various existing FINMA circulars, including ordinances on operational risks and market risks. The ordinances contain the implementing provisions for the Swiss Federal Council's revised Capital Adequacy Ordinance for banks and they will enter into force on 1 January 2025.

The Swiss National Bank will raise the minimum reserve requirement for banks

In April 2024, the SNB announced that it will raise the minimum reserve requirement for domestic banks from 2.5% to 4%, and it will therefore amend the National Bank Ordinance as of 1 July 2024. The SNB further announced that liabilities arising from cancelable customer deposits (excluding tied pension provisions) will be included in full in the calculation of the minimum reserve requirement, as is the case with the other relevant liabilities. This revokes the previous exception under which only 20% of these liabilities counted toward the calculation. Based on preliminary internal assessments, UBS expects a negative impact of USD 70m to USD 80m per annum on net interest income to result from these changes.

Significant BCBS consultation papers

Guidelines for counterparty credit risk management

In April 2024, the BCBS issued a public consultation regarding guidelines for counterparty credit risk (CCR) management. The key areas covered are due diligence of counterparties (both at initial onboarding and on an ongoing basis), the development of a comprehensive credit risk mitigation strategy to effectively manage counterparty exposures, measures to control and limit CCR using a wide variety of complementary metrics, and a strong CCR governance framework. Banks and supervisors are encouraged to take a risk-based and proportionate approach in the application of the guidelines, taking into account the degree of CCR generated by banks' lines of business, their trading and financing activities, and the complexity of such CCR exposures.

Other developments

Capital returns

On 24 April 2024, the shareholders approved a dividend of USD 0.70 per share at the Annual General Meeting. The dividend was paid on 3 May 2024 to shareholders of record on 2 May 2024.

Our 2022 share repurchase program was concluded on 28 March 2024. A total of 298,537,950 UBS Group AG shares were acquired under that program, at an aggregate purchase price of CHF 5,010m, of which CHF 1,202m were acquired in 2023 prior to the announcement of the acquisition of the Credit Suisse Group. On 12 April 2023, the Swiss Takeover Board approved the use of up to 178,031,942 shares repurchased under the 2022 program, and originally intended for cancellation, for the acquisition of the Credit Suisse Group.

On 3 April 2024, we launched a new 2024 share repurchase program of up to USD 2bn over two years. We expect to execute up to USD 1bn of repurchases in 2024, commencing after the completion of the merger of UBS AG and Credit Suisse AG.

Frequency and comparability of Pillar 3 disclosures

FINMA has specified the reporting frequency for each disclosure, as outlined in the "Introduction and basis for preparation" section of the 31 December 2023 Pillar 3 Report, available under "Pillar 3 disclosures" at ubs.com/investors.

In line with the FINMA-specified disclosure frequency and requirements for disclosure with regard to comparative periods, we provide quantitative comparative information as of 31 December 2023 for disclosures required on a quarterly basis. Where specifically required by FINMA and / or the BCBS, we disclose comparative information for additional reporting dates.

Key metrics

Key metrics of the first quarter of 2024

The KM1 and KM2 tables below are based on Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) Basel III rules. The KM2 table includes a reference to the total loss-absorbing capacity (TLAC) term sheet, published by the Financial Stability Board, which provides this term sheet at fsb.org/2015/11/total-loss-absorbing-capacity-tlac-principles-and-term-sheet.

Our capital ratios increased, mainly reflecting a decrease in risk-weighted assets (RWA). Our leverage ratio increased, predominantly reflecting a decrease in the leverage ratio denominator (the LRD).

Our common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital decreased by USD 0.3bn to USD 78.1bn, mainly reflecting an operating profit before tax of USD 2.4bn, more than offset by negative effects from foreign currency translation of USD 1.3bn, dividend accruals of USD 0.6bn, current tax expenses of USD 0.5bn and amortization of transitional CET1 purchase price allocation (PPA) adjustments (interest rate and own credit) of USD 0.4bn (net of tax).

As part of the acquisition of the Credit Suisse Group in 2023, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including contingent liabilities, were recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date in accordance with IFRS 3, Business Combinations. The PPA fair value adjustments required under IFRS 3 were recognized as part of negative goodwill and included effects on financial instruments measured at amortized cost, such as fair value impacts from interest rates and own credit, that are expected to accrete back to par through the income statement as the instruments are held to maturity. Similar own-credit-related effects have also been recognized as part of the PPA adjustments on financial liabilities measured at fair value. As agreed with the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA), a transitional CET1 capital treatment has been applied for certain of these fair value adjustments, given the substantially temporary nature of the IFRS-3-accounting-driven effects. As such, equity reductions under IFRS Accounting Standards of USD 5.9bn (before tax) and USD 5.0bn (net of tax) as of the acquisition date have been neutralized for CET1 capital calculation purposes, of which USD 1.0bn (net of tax) relates to own-credit-related fair value adjustments. The transitional treatment is subject to linear amortization and will be reduced to nil by 30 June 2027. The amortization of transitional CET1 PPA adjustments (interest rate and own credit) since the acquisition date totaled USD 1.0bn (net of tax) as of 31 March 2024, an increase of USD 0.4bn (net of tax) in the first quarter of 2024.

Our tier 1 capital increased by USD 1.1bn to USD 93.5bn, reflecting an increase in additional tier 1 (AT1) capital, partly offset by the aforementioned decrease in CET1 capital. The AT1 capital increase was mainly driven by the issuance of two AT1 capital instruments equivalent to a total of USD 1.5bn.

The TLAC available as of 31 March 2024 included CET1 capital, AT1 capital and non-regulatory capital elements of TLAC. Under the Swiss systemically relevant bank framework, including transitional arrangements, TLAC excludes 45% of the gross unrealized gains on debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income for accounting purposes, which for regulatory capital purposes are measured at the lower of cost or market value. This amount was negligible as of 31 March 2024 but is included as available TLAC in the KM2 table in this section.

Our available TLAC decreased by USD 2.0bn to USD 197.5bn, mainly due to a decrease in TLAC-eligible senior unsecured debt, partly offset by the aforementioned increase in tier 1 capital. The USD 3.1bn decrease in TLAC-eligible senior unsecured debt mainly reflected the call of USD 2.1bn equivalent of TLAC-eligible senior unsecured debt instruments, a USD 1.9bn equivalent TLAC-eligible senior unsecured debt instrument that ceased to be eligible as gone concern capital when we issued a notice of redemption of the instrument in the first quarter of 2024, a USD 2.4bn senior unsecured debt instrument that was no longer TLAC eligible due to its residual tenor falling below one year, and negative impacts from interest rate risk hedge, foreign currency translation and other effects. These decreases were partly offset by new issuances totaling USD 5.4bn equivalent of TLAC-eligible senior unsecured debt instruments.

During the first quarter of 2024, RWA decreased by USD 20.1bn to USD 526.4bn, mainly driven by decreases of USD 17.4bn in credit risk RWA, USD 3.2bn in RWA related to securitization exposures in the banking book and USD 2.9bn in counterparty credit risk RWA, partly offset by an increase of USD 3.0bn in market risk RWA.

The LRD decreased by USD 95.8bn to USD 1,599.6bn, driven by currency effects of USD 56.3bn and asset size and other movements of USD 39.4bn.

The quarterly average liquidity coverage ratio (the LCR) of the UBS Group increased 4.6 percentage points to 220.2%, remaining above the prudential requirement communicated by FINMA. The movement in the quarterly average LCR was primarily driven by an increase in high-quality liquid assets of USD 7.0bn to USD 422.6bn, mostly driven by higher cash available from customer deposits and loan repayments. The average net cash outflows decreased by USD 0.7bn to USD 192.1bn, reflecting higher net inflows from securities financing transactions and lower outflows from derivatives and loan commitments, which were partly offset by higher net outflows from customer deposits and loans.

As of 31 March 2024, the net stable funding ratio of the UBS Group increased 1.8 percentage points to 126.4%, remaining above the prudential requirement communicated by FINMA. Available stable funding decreased by USD 39.4bn to USD 887.0bn, mostly reflecting decreases in customer deposits, debt issued and regulatory capital. Required stable funding decreased by USD 41.6bn to USD 701.6bn, predominantly reflecting lower lending assets, mainly driven by negative currency effects.

Overview of risk-weighted assets

Overview of RWA and capital requirements

The OV1 table below provides an overview of our risk-weighted assets (RWA) and the related minimum capital requirements by risk type. The table presented is based on the respective Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) template and empty rows indicate current non-applicability to UBS.

During the first quarter of 2024, RWA decreased by USD 20.1bn to USD 526.4bn, mainly driven by decreases of USD 17.4bn in credit risk RWA, USD 3.2bn in RWA related to securitization exposures in the banking book and USD 2.9bn in counterparty credit risk (CCR) RWA, partly offset by an increase of USD 3.0bn in market risk RWA.

Credit risk RWA decreased by USD 17.4bn, mainly driven by decreases of USD 9.7bn related to currency effects, USD 7.0bn related to asset size and other movements, as well as USD 0.7bn related to model updates and methodology changes. Asset size and other movements decreased by USD 7.0bn, mainly driven by our actions to actively unwind the Non-core and Legacy portfolio, in addition to the natural roll-off. Furthermore, the decrease was driven by lower RWA on loans and loan commitments in Global Wealth Management and Personal & Corporate Banking, partly offset by higher RWA from the high-quality liquid asset portfolio and nostro accounts in Group Items. Model updates and methodology changes resulted in a decrease of USD 0.7bn, mainly reflecting an RWA decrease of USD 1.5bn related to the recalibration of certain multipliers as a result of improvements to models, partly offset by RWA increases from model updates mainly related to income-producing real estate.

RWA related to securitization exposures in the banking book decreased by USD 3.2bn, mainly reflecting our actions to actively unwind the portfolio, including the sale of USD 8bn of senior secured financing facilities to Apollo.

CCR RWA decreased by USD 2.9bn, mainly driven by decreases of USD 2.4bn related to asset size and other movements, USD 0.6bn related to currency effects, partly offset by an increase of USD 0.2bn related to model updates and methodology changes. Asset size and other movements decreased by USD 2.4bn, mainly due to lower RWA on derivatives in the Investment Bank.

Market risk RWA increased by USD 3.0bn, driven by an increase of USD 4.8bn related to model updates and methodology changes, primarily reflecting the FINMA-approved integration of time decay into regulatory value-at-risk (VaR) and stressed VaR for derivatives with optionality, which was partly offset by an improvement in the profit and loss representation of derivatives with multiple underlyings. This impact was partly offset by a decrease of USD 1.8bn from asset size and other movements in the Investment Bank and in Non-core and Legacy. The FINMA-agreed temporary measure that was introduced in the fourth quarter of 2022, and scheduled to be lifted with the implementation of the aforementioned changes, has not yet been removed. The temporary time decay RWA buffer that was introduced in the third quarter of 2021 has dropped to an immaterial level.

The flow tables for credit risk, CCR and market risk RWA below provide further details about the movements in RWA in the first quarter of 2024.

1 Calculated based on 8% of RWA. 2 Excludes settlement risk, which is separately reported in line 15 "Settlement risk." Includes RWA with central counterparties. The split between the sub-components of counterparty credit risk refers to the calculation of the exposure measure. 3 Not applicable until the implementation of the final rules on the minimum capital requirements for market risk (the Fundamental Review of the Trading Book). 4 Includes items subject to threshold deduction treatment that do not exceed their respective threshold and are risk-weighted at 250%. Items subject to threshold deduction treatment include significant investments in common shares of non-consolidated financial institutions (banks, insurance and other financial entities), deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences, and mortgage servicing rights.

RWA flow statements of credit risk exposures under the internal ratings-based approach

The CR8 table below provides a breakdown of the credit risk RWA movements in the first quarter of 2024 across movement categories defined by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (the BCBS).

Credit risk RWA under the internal ratings-based (IRB) approach decreased by USD 11.6bn to USD 198.4bn during the first quarter of 2024. This balance includes credit risk under the advanced IRB approach, as well as credit risk under the supervisory slotting approach.

Currency effects, driven by the strengthening of the US dollar against other major currencies, resulted in an RWA decrease of USD 8.4bn.

Movements in asset size decreased RWA by USD 4.7bn, primarily driven by our actions to actively unwind the Non-core and Legacy portfolio, in addition to the natural roll-off and, to a lesser extent, by lower RWA from loans in Global Wealth Management.

Movements in asset quality, including changes in risk density across the overall portfolio, increased RWA by USD 0.5bn, mainly due to changes in the risk profile in Group Treasury and the Investment Bank. This was partly offset by decreases in Global Wealth Management, as well as in Personal & Corporate Banking, where the risk profile improved slightly.

Model updates resulted in a reduction of USD 0.7bn, mainly reflecting an RWA decrease of USD 1.5bn related to the recalibration of certain multipliers as a result of improvements to models, partly offset by RWA increases from model updates related to income-producing real estate.

Other items resulted in an RWA increase of USD 1.8bn, primarily reflecting a USD 3.0bn overlay for uncertainties associated with the alignment of models and RWA calculations in Credit Suisse platforms with those of UBS.

RWA flow statements of counterparty credit risk exposures under the internal model method and VaR

The CCR7 table below presents a flow statement explaining changes in CCR RWA determined under the internal model method (the IMM) for derivatives and the VaR approach for securities financing transactions (SFTs).

CCR RWA on derivatives under the IMM decreased by USD 1.3bn to USD 16.0bn during the first quarter of 2024. Asset size movements contributed to an RWA decrease of USD 3.2bn, primarily due to a client-driven decrease in the Investment Bank and de-risking of Non-core and Legacy assets. Foreign exchange movements resulted in an RWA decrease of USD 0.4bn. These decreases were partly offset by an increase of USD 2.2bn from asset quality movements, primarily due to changes in the average risk density in the Investment Bank and Non-core and Legacy.

CCR RWA on SFTs under the VaR approach decreased by USD 1.3bn to USD 9.7bn during the first quarter of 2024. An RWA decrease of USD 1.5bn from asset quality movements was primarily driven by changes in the average risk density in the Investment Bank and Group Items. Foreign exchange movements resulted in an RWA decrease of USD 0.1bn. These decreases were partly offset by an increase of USD 0.2bn due to asset size movements.

RWA flow statements of market risk exposures under an internal models approach

The three main components that contribute to market risk RWA are regulatory VaR, stressed value-at-risk (SVaR) and the incremental risk charge (the IRC). The VaR and SVaR components include the RWA charge for risks not in VaR (RniV).

The MR2 table below provides a breakdown of the movement in market risk RWA in the first quarter of 2024 under an internal models approach across those components, pursuant to the movement categories defined by the BCBS.

Market risk RWA increased by USD 3.0bn to USD 23.9bn in the first quarter of 2024, driven by an increase that stems from the FINMA-approved integration of time decay into regulatory VaR and stressed VaR for derivatives with optionality, which was partly offset by an improvement in the profit and loss representation of derivatives with multiple underlyings. This impact was partly offset by a decrease in asset size and other movements. The FINMA-agreed temporary measure that was introduced in the fourth quarter of 2022, and scheduled to be lifted with the implementation of the aforementioned changes, has not yet been removed. The temporary time decay RWA buffer that was introduced in the third quarter of 2021 has dropped to an immaterial level.

The FINMA VaR multiplier derived from backtesting exceptions for market risk RWA was unchanged compared with the prior quarter, at 3.0, for both the UBS Group excluding Credit Suisse and Credit Suisse.
