Alternative performance measures
An alternative performance measure (an APM) is a financial measure of historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows other than a financial measure defined or specified in the applicable recognized accounting standards or in other applicable regulations. We report a number of APMs in the discussion of the financial and operating performance of the Group, our business divisions and Group Items. We use APMs to provide a more complete picture of our operating performance and to reflect management's view of the fundamental drivers of our 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. Our APMs may qualify as non-GAAP measures as defined by US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations. Our underlying results are APMs and are non-GAAP financial measures.
- Refer to the "Group performance" section of this report and to "Alternative performance measures" in the appendix to this report for additional information about underlying results

Management report
Recent developments
Regulatory capital developments and capital returns guidance
In the third quarter of 2024, reflecting our strong capital position, completion of legal entity mergers, overall progress on the integration and the winding down of Non-core and Legacy, we voluntarily accelerated the amortization of the remaining transitional purchase price allocation (PPA) adjustments for common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital purposes. This resulted in a USD 3.4bn decrease in CET1 capital and a CET1 capital ratio of 14.3%. Excluding this adjustment, the CET1 capital ratio would have been 14.9%. In connection with the acquisition of the Credit Suisse Group in 2023, the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) had approved neutralizing a CET1 capital effect of USD 5.0bn (net of tax) of interest-rate- and own-credit-driven fair value adjustments for UBS Group AG that are expected to fully reverse into income and be accretive to CET1 capital over time. The transitional treatment was subject to linear amortization at the rate of USD 0.3bn per quarter through 30 June 2027. This quarterly amortization was eliminated upon fully amortizing the transitional treatment in the third quarter of 2024. As these transitional adjustments only applied to UBS Group AG, the regulatory capital position of UBS AG was not impacted by the decision to fully amortize them. On a standalone basis as of 30 September 2024, UBS AG's fully applied CET1 capital ratio is expected to be around 13.3%.
We expect that the adoption of the final Basel III standards in January 2025 will lead to a low single-digit percentage increase in the UBS Group's RWA, reducing the CET1 capital ratio by around 30 basis points. This estimate is based on our current understanding of the relevant standards as we are in an active dialogue with FINMA regarding various aspects of the final rules. We continue to expect to operate with a CET1 capital ratio of around 14% after the implementation of the final Basel III standards.
We expect to complete our planned USD 1bn of share repurchases in the fourth quarter of 2024. Our ambition to continue share repurchases in 2025 and for our capital returns in 2026 to exceed pre-acquisition levels is unchanged. Our ambitions beyond 2025 are subject to our assessment of any proposed requirements from Switzerland's ongoing review of its capital regime.
- Refer to "Amortization of transitional purchase price allocation adjustments for regulatory capital" in the "Capital management" section of this report for more information.
Integration of Credit Suisse
We continue to make progress related to the integration of Credit Suisse, with the current focus on client account and platform migrations.
Following the merger of UBS AG and Credit Suisse AG in May 2024 and the transition to a single US intermediate holding company in June 2024, the merger of UBS Switzerland AG and Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG was completed on 1 July 2024 and was another critical step on our integration roadmap.
In October 2024, we completed the migration of our Global Wealth Management client accounts in Luxembourg and Hong Kong to UBS platforms and we plan to migrate our Global Wealth Management client accounts booked in Singapore and Japan before the end of 2024. In Switzerland, we expect the next phase of Global Wealth Management and Personal & Corporate Banking client account migrations in the second quarter of 2025.
In the third quarter of 2024, we realized an additional USD 0.8bn in gross cost savings, for a total of around USD 6.8bn in annualized exit rate gross cost savings compared with the 2022 combined cost base of Credit Suisse and UBS. We expect to achieve around USD 7.5bn of gross cost savings by the end of 2024, or approximately 58% of our ambition of around USD 13bn by the end of 2026.
UBS Group third quarter 2024 report | UBS Group | Recent developments | 4 |
Our Non-core and Legacy business division continues to actively exit positions and reduce its exposures. On 13 August 2024, UBS entered into an agreement to sell Select Portfolio Servicing, the US mortgage-servicing business of Credit Suisse managed in the Non-core and Legacy business division. Completion of the transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2025. UBS does not expect to recognize a material profit or loss upon completion of the transaction. Based on balances as of 30 September 2024, the completion of the transaction would reduce the Group's risk- weighted assets (RWA) by around USD 1.4bn and the Group's leverage ratio denominator (LRD) by around USD 1.7bn.
In October 2024, UBS entered into an agreement to sell to American Express Swiss Holdings GmbH (American Express) its 50% interest in Swisscard AECS GmbH (Swisscard), a joint venture between UBS and American Express in Switzerland. In addition, UBS and Swisscard entered into an agreement to transition the Credit Suisse-branded card portfolios to UBS. Both transactions are subject to certain closing conditions and are not expected to have a material impact for UBS.
Regulatory and legal developments
Withholding tax exemption period for too-big-to-fail instruments
In August 2024, the Swiss Federal Council launched a consultation related to the existing withholding tax exemption that applies to too-big-to-fail instruments issued by no later than 31 December 2026. The Federal Council had recommended an unlimited extension of the exemption as part of a broader reform package in its April 2024 report on banking stability. As these reforms are not expected to enter into force before the expiry of the existing special rules, the Swiss Federal Council proposes to extend the current exemption, from 31 December 2026 to 31 December 2031, to ensure that banks can continue to issue capital instruments on competitive terms.
Swiss legislators postpone the review of a public liquidity backstop
In August 2024, the Swiss Economic Affairs and Taxation Committee of the Council of States deferred further deliberations on the introduction of a public liquidity backstop until the Swiss parliamentary investigation committee publishes its report on the failure of the Credit Suisse Group, which is expected to be released by the end of 2024.
FINMA suspends annual approval of UBS's recovery and emergency plans
In October 2024, FINMA published its 2024 resolution reporting for UBS. FINMA noted that if the preferred resolution strategy was applied, UBS would be resolvable by means of a single point of entry recapitalization. Considering the ongoing integration activities and the additional requirements for alternative resolution strategies following the Credit Suisse crisis, including the need for legislative changes, FINMA announced that it had suspended the annual approval of UBS's recovery and emergency plans. UBS has started working on the new plans in close dialogue with FINMA.
Switzerland implements the Income Inclusion Rule
In September 2024, the Swiss Federal Council introduced the Income Inclusion Rule (the IIR), a measure developed by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (the OECD) as part of the minimum corporate taxation rules applicable to corporate groups with a worldwide turnover of at least EUR 750m. Under the IIR, the profits of foreign subsidiaries and branches of Swiss corporate groups will be taxed at a minimum rate of 15% on the OECD global minimum tax base with respect to each jurisdiction in which the corporate groups operate. The IIR complements the Swiss supplementary tax that was introduced in January 2024. The IIR will apply from 1 January 2025, and UBS expects the overall tax impact from the IIR will be limited, given that UBS is subject to a corporate tax burden of more than 15% in the vast majority of countries in which it operates.
Mutual recognition agreement with the UK submitted to the Swiss Parliament
In September 2024, the Swiss Federal Council submitted for parliamentary approval a mutual recognition agreement (an MRA) with the UK regarding financial services. The agreement facilitates cross-border financial activities based on a new model for regulatory cooperation and an outcomes-based mutual recognition of domestic rules. The MRA is supplemented by an enhanced and closer supervisory process and additional supervisory arrangements where new market access is granted. It is expected that the Parliaments in Switzerland and the UK will grant approval for the MRA in 2025.
Developments related to the final Basel III implementation
In Switzerland, the amendments to the Capital Adequacy Ordinance that will incorporate the final Basel III standards into Swiss law are still scheduled to enter into force on 1 January 2025, as confirmed by the Swiss Federal Council in June 2024.
UBS Group third quarter 2024 report | UBS Group | Recent developments | 5 |
We expect that the adoption of the final Basel III standards in January 2025 will lead to low single-digit percentage increases in the UBS Group's RWA and LRD, reducing the CET1 capital ratio by around 30 basis points and the CET1 leverage ratio by around 10 basis points. This estimate is based on our current understanding of the relevant standards, as we are in an active dialogue with FINMA regarding various aspects of the final rules. Our estimate for the RWA and CET1 capital ratio does not take into account the impact of the output floor, which is to be phased in over time.
In September 2024, the UK Prudential Regulatory Authority (the PRA) published its final rules covering the implementation of the final Basel III standards. As part of the package, the PRA announced the pushing back of the implementation date, from 1 July 2025 to 1 January 2026, with full phase-in of the output floor by 1 January 2030. The overall impact on UBS is expected to be limited.
In the US, the banking agencies, including the Federal Reserve Board, have been discussing amendments to their original proposals regarding the implementation of the final Basel III standards. The banking agencies have indicated that they plan to issue a revised proposal before issuing the final rules.
The Federal Reserve Board stress capital buffer requirements
In August 2024, the Federal Reserve Board assigned UBS Americas Holding LLC a stress capital buffer (an SCB) of 9.3% as of 1 October 2024 (previously 9.1%) under the Federal Reserve Board's SCB rule, resulting in a total CET1 capital requirement of 13.8%. The SCB for our US-based intermediate holding company is based on the previously released results of the Federal Reserve Board's 2024 Dodd-Frank Act Stress Test (DFAST), where UBS Americas Holding LLC exceeded the minimum capital requirements under the severely adverse scenario.

Underlying results
In addition to reporting our results in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, we report underlying results that exclude items of profit or loss that management believes are not representative of the underlying performance.
In the third quarter of 2024, underlying revenues exclude purchase price allocation (PPA) effects and other integration items. PPA effects mainly consist of PPA adjustments on financial instruments measured at amortized cost, including off-balance sheet positions, arising from the acquisition of the Credit Suisse Group. Accretion of PPA adjustments on financial instruments is accelerated when the related financial instrument is derecognized before its contractual maturity. No adjustment is made for accretion of PPA on financial instruments within Non- core and Legacy, due to the nature of its business model.
Underlying expenses exclude integration-related expenses that are temporary, incremental and directly related to the integration of Credit Suisse into UBS, including costs of internal staff and contractors substantially dedicated to integration activities, retention awards, redundancy costs, incremental expenses from the shortening of useful lives of property, equipment and software, and impairment charges relating to these assets. Classification as integration- related expenses does not affect the timing of recognition and measurement of those expenses or the presentation thereof in the income statement.
Results: 3Q24 vs 3Q23
Reported operating profit before tax was USD 1,929m, compared with an operating loss before tax of USD 184m, reflecting lower operating expenses, an increase in total revenues and lower net credit loss expenses. Total revenues increased by USD 639m, or 5%, to USD 12,334m, and included a decrease of USD 296m in accretion impacts resulting from PPA adjustments on financial instruments and other PPA effects. The increase in total revenues was driven by a USD 461m increase in net fee and commission income, a USD 142m increase in net interest income and other net income from financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss, and a USD 36m increase in other income. Operating expenses decreased by USD 1,357m, or 12%, to USD 10,283m and included a USD 913m decrease in integration-related expenses. The decrease in operating expenses was mainly driven by a USD 735m decrease in general and administrative expenses and a USD 678m decrease in personnel expenses, partly offset by a USD 56m increase in depreciation, amortization and impairment of non-financial assets. Net credit loss expenses were USD 121m, compared with USD 239m in the third quarter of 2023.
Underlying results 3Q24 vs 3Q23
Underlying results for the third quarter of 2024 excluded PPA effects and other integration items of USD 662m from total revenues and also excluded integration-related expenses and PPA effects of USD 1,119m from operating expenses.
On an underlying basis, profit before tax increased by USD 1,472m to USD 2,386m, reflecting a USD 935m increase in underlying total revenues, a USD 418m decrease in underlying operating expenses and a USD 118m decrease in net credit loss expenses.
Total revenues: 3Q24 vs 3Q23
Net interest income and other net income from financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss Total combined net interest income and other net income from financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss increased by USD 142m to USD 5,476m and included a decrease of USD 156m in accretion impacts resulting from PPA adjustments on financial instruments and other PPA effects.
Global Wealth Management decreased by USD 136m to USD 2,232m, which included USD 221m of accretion of PPA adjustments on financial instruments and other PPA effects, compared with USD 371m in the third quarter of 2023. Excluding the aforementioned effects, net interest income decreased, reflecting lower deposit margins, including the effects of shifts to lower-margin deposit products and the effects of liquidity and funding costs, partly offset by higher deposit volumes. The decrease was also due to lower loan revenues, reflecting lower average volumes. These decreases were partly offset by an increase in transaction-based income, mainly driven by higher levels of client activity.
Personal & Corporate Banking decreased by USD 106m to USD 1,638m, which included USD 255m of accretion of PPA adjustments on financial instruments and other PPA effects, compared with USD 290m in the third quarter of 2023. The remaining decrease was mainly due to higher liquidity and funding costs, as well as lower deposit margins resulting from both lower reinvestment rates and shifts to lower-margin deposit products.
