of profit or loss that management believes are not representative
of the underlying performance. Underlying results are a non-GAAP
financial measure and alternative performance measure (APM). Refer
to “Group Performance” and “Appendix-Alternative Performance
Measures” in the financial report for the third quarter of 2024 for
a reconciliation of underlying to reported results and definitions
of the APMs.
Group summary
Strong financial performance
In 3Q24, we reported PBT of USD 1,929m and underlying PBT of USD
2,386m. Net profit attributable to shareholders was USD 1,425m and
return on CET1 capital was 7.6%, or 9.4% on an underlying
basis.
Reported revenues were USD 12,334m, up 5% YoY. On an underlying
basis, revenues increased by 9% YoY to USD 11,672m, as strong
transactional activity and recurring fee income driven by higher
average invested assets more than offset the expected net interest
income headwinds. Reported Group operating expenses decreased by
12% YoY to USD 10,283m. On an underlying basis, operating expenses
decreased by 4% YoY to USD 9,165m as we continued to execute on our
integration and efficiency plans.
Continued franchise strength and client momentum
During the third quarter, we remained close to our clients,
guiding them through a market environment that while constructive,
also showed signs of dislocation and volatility. Clients continue
to value the investment opportunities we provide across our advice
platform, as demonstrated by USD 25bn in net new assets in GWM. We
remain on track to deliver on our ambition of USD ~100bn in NNA in
2024. We also generated USD 15bn of net new fee generating assets
in the quarter, reflecting strong discretionary mandate sales in
all regions with disciplined pricing. Group invested assets
increased by 15% YoY to USD 6.2trn.
As a leading provider of credit to Swiss companies and the
economy, we are also delivering on our commitments to our home
market. In the quarter, we granted or renewed CHF ~35bn of loans in
Switzerland.
Transactional activity was strong during the quarter across both
private and institutional clients. In GWM, underlying
transaction-based income increased by 19% YoY with strong momentum
across all regions, led by the Americas and APAC. In the IB, Global
Markets delivered revenues of USD 1.9bn, up 31% YoY, mainly driven
by higher client activity and the strength of our expanded
franchise, with gains across all regions, particularly in the
Americas.
In Global Banking, underlying revenues increased 21% YoY with
strong M&A performance in Asia and the US.
Ahead of plan on financial and operational integration
priorities
We continue to execute on our integration plans, de-risking our
balance sheet, and delivering on our cost reduction ambitions.
In 3Q24, we further reduced NCL RWA by USD 5bn, primarily
through active unwinds across the loan and securitized products
portfolios, bringing the total RWA reduction in NCL to USD 41bn
since 2Q23. Similarly, NCL LRD decreased by 69% since 2Q23,
including USD 11bn in the third quarter. Since last June, we have
closed 52% of active books, around a year ahead of our original
schedule.
In the quarter, we maintained our cost optimization momentum
across the Group, delivering an additional USD 0.8bn in gross cost
saves. By the end of 2024 we expect to achieve USD ~7.5bn of gross
cost savings, or ~58% of our total cumulative gross cost save
ambition.
Since June, we have also significantly advanced our work on
migrating wealth management client accounts and data to UBS
platforms. In October, we successfully achieved another milestone,
moving all client accounts serviced out of Luxembourg and Hong
Kong, a key booking hub in APAC. We are on track to complete the
ongoing account transitions in Singapore and Japan by the end of
this year, and will be in position to commence the next phase of
transfers in Switzerland in the second quarter of 2025.
With this we are well positioned to enhance the client
experience and to unlock further cost reductions toward the end of
2025 and into 2026, as we deliver on our ambition of USD ~13bn in
gross cost saves by the end of 2026.
Maintaining strong capital position; expecting to operate at
~14% CET1 capital ratio; remain committed to capital returns
ambitions
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 NCL, 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.
Investing for long-term growth in our people, products and
capabilities
In addition to meeting the current needs of our clients,
executing the integration, and delivering on short term plans, we
remain focused on positioning UBS for long-term growth. We continue
to self-fund our investments in our people, products and
capabilities to further develop our client offerings across all of
our businesses, including our growth regions, Americas and
APAC.
This includes building on our long-standing AI expertise and
industry-leading cloud position to accelerate development and
adoption of GenAI solutions that benefit clients and employees.
With the rollout of 50,000 Copilot licenses between now and the
end of March 2025, UBS is currently implementing the largest
Microsoft 365 Copilot deployment within the global financial
services industry to date. Another example is Red, a proprietary
new AI assistant that will provide 20,000 employees in Switzerland,
Hong Kong, and Singapore with easy access to UBS product
information and investment research. In the Investment Bank, we are
piloting a proprietary AI algorithm that researches and compiles
potential merger and acquisition buy-side targets.
In these, and the many other AI deployments that are underway
across the entire firm, we are focused on responsible AI. For
example, all employees Group-wide are currently completing a
‘Responsible use of Generative AI’ training.
Outlook
In the third quarter of 2024 we saw strong client activity
against a market backdrop that, while constructive, still exhibited
periods of high volatility and dislocation.
Entering the fourth quarter, we see a continuation of these
market conditions sustained by the prospects of a soft landing in
the US economy. However, the macroeconomic outlook in the rest of
the world remains clouded. In addition to seasonality, the ongoing
geopolitical conflicts and the upcoming US elections are creating
uncertainties that are likely to affect investor behavior.
In the fourth quarter, we anticipate a mid-single digit decline
in net interest income in Global Wealth Management and a low
single-digit decline in Personal & Corporate Banking. Non-core
and Legacy is expected to generate a quarterly pre-tax loss in line
with our earlier guidance.
The Group’s non-personnel costs are expected to show a seasonal
sequential uptick. The Group’s quarterly tax rate is expected to be
around 35%. Integration-related expenses are expected to be around
USD 1.2bn and accretion of PPA effects to contribute around USD
0.5bn to the Group’s total revenues.
As we stay close to clients, helping them navigate this
environment, and execute on our priorities, we will continue to
invest to drive sustainable long-term value for our stakeholders
while maintaining a balance sheet for all seasons.

basis.
Global Wealth Management (GWM) PBT USD 1,085m, underlying PBT
USD 1,280m
Total revenues increased by 4% to USD 6,199m, largely driven by
higher recurring net fee and transaction-based income, partly
offset by lower net interest income. Excluding PPA effects and
other integration items of USD 224m, underlying total revenues were
USD 5,975m, an increase of 7%. Net credit loss expenses were USD
2m, compared with net expenses of USD 10m in the third quarter of
2023. Operating expenses increased by 2% to USD 5,112m, largely due
to an increase in personnel expenses, which resulted from higher
financial advisor compensation reflecting an increase in
compensable revenues. Excluding integration-related expenses and
PPA effects of USD 419m, underlying operating expenses were USD
4,693m, an increase of 3%. The cost/income ratio was 82.5%, and
78.5% on an underlying basis. Invested assets increased by USD

Asset Management (AM) PBT USD 151m, underlying PBT USD
237m

USD 72m net gain from both the closing of the remaining portion of

the sale of our shareholding in Credit Suisse Insurance Linked
Strategies Ltd. Operating expenses decreased by 2% to USD 722m.
Excluding integration-related expenses of USD 86m, underlying
operating expenses were USD 636m, an increase of 4% driven by
higher personnel expenses, reflecting higher revenues, and higher
expenses for litigation, regulatory and similar matters. The
cost/income ratio was 82.7%, and 72.8% on an underlying basis.
Invested assets increased by USD 96bn sequentially to USD 1,797bn.
Net new money was USD 2.0bn, and USD (4.8bn) excluding money market
flows and associates.
Investment Bank (IB) PBT USD 405m, underlying PBT USD

of 29%. Net credit loss expenses were USD 9m, compared with net
expenses of USD 4m in the third quarter of 2023. Operating expenses
decreased by 7% to USD 2,231m, largely due to a decrease in
integration-related expenses. Excluding integration-related
expenses of USD 156m, underlying operating expenses were USD
2,076m, an increase of 2%. The cost/income ratio was 84.4% on both
a reported and an underlying basis. Return on attributed equity was
9.5%, and 8.8% on an underlying basis.
Non-core and Legacy (NCL) PBT USD (603m), underlying PBT USD
(333m)
Total revenues decreased by 29% to USD 262m, mainly due to lower
net interest income and trading revenues as a result of portfolio
reductions, and included a USD 67m gain from the sale of our
investment in an associate. Net credit loss expenses were USD 28m,
compared with net expenses of USD 59m in the third quarter of 2023.
Operating expenses decreased by 60% to USD 837m, mainly due to
decreases in integration-related expenses, professional fees,
outsourcing expenses and personnel expenses, and included releases
of USD 84m of IFRS 3 acquisition-related contingent liabilities
following settlements reached in the third quarter of 2024.
Excluding integration-related expenses of USD 270m, underlying

UBS’s sustainability
highlights
We are guided by our ambition to be a global leader in
sustainability. We remain committed to supporting our clients in
the transition to a low-carbon world, leading by example in our own
operations, and sharing our lessons learned along the way.
In September, MSCI reaffirmed our AA ESG rating and we increased
our S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment score. These
are our first fully consolidated ESG ratings post the acquisition
of Credit Suisse.
To build on our strong foundation, we are evolving our
sustainability strategy, based on three pillars:
− Protect: manage our business aligned to our sustainable,
long-term strategy;
− Grow: continue to expand our sustainability and impact
offering for our clients to meet their evolving needs; and
− Attract: be the bank of choice for clients and employees.
We will communicate further details on our approach in our 2024
Sustainability Report, which will be published on 17 March
2025.

tax rate for the fourth and third quarters of 2023 is not a
meaningful measure, due to the distortive effect of current
unbenefited tax losses at the former Credit Suisse entities. 8

Cautionary statement regarding forward-looking
statements
This news release contains statements that constitute
“forward-looking statements”, including but not limited to
management’s outlook for UBS’s financial performance, statements
relating to the anticipated effect of transactions and strategic
initiatives on UBS’s business and future development and goals or
intentions to achieve climate, sustainability and other social
objectives. While these forward-looking statements represent UBS’s
judgments, expectations and objectives concerning the matters
described, a number of risks, uncertainties and other important
factors could cause actual developments and results to differ
materially from UBS’s expectations. In particular, the global
economy may be negatively affected by shifting political
circumstances, including as a result of elections, increased
tension between world powers, growing conflicts in the Middle East,
as well as the continuing Russia–Ukraine war. In addition, the
ongoing conflicts may continue to cause significant population
displacement, and lead to shortages of vital commodities, including
energy shortages and food insecurity outside the areas immediately
involved in armed conflict. Governmental responses to the armed
conflicts, including, with respect to the Russia–Ukraine war,
coordinated successive sets of sanctions on Russia and Belarus, and
Russian and Belarusian entities and nationals, and the uncertainty
as to whether the ongoing conflicts will further widen and
intensify, may continue to have significant adverse effects on the
market and macroeconomic conditions, including in ways that cannot
be anticipated. 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 take
between three and five years and presents significant risks,
including the risks that UBS Group AG may be unable to achieve the
cost reductions and other benefits contemplated by the transaction.
This creates significantly 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 as a result of the
acquisition of the Credit Suisse Group; (iii) increased 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,
deterioration or slow recovery in residential and commercial real
estate markets, the effects of economic conditions, including
elevated inflationary pressures, market developments, increasing
geopolitical tensions, 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, Credit Suisse, sovereign issuers, structured credit
products or credit-related exposures, as well as availability and
cost of funding to meet requirements for debt eligible for total
loss-absorbing capacity (TLAC), in particular in light of the
acquisition of the Credit Suisse Group; (vi) changes in central
bank policies or the implementation of financial legislation and
regulation in Switzerland, the US, the UK, the EU and other
financial centers that have imposed, or resulted in, or may do so
in the future, more stringent or entity-specific capital, TLAC,
leverage ratio, net stable funding ratio, liquidity and funding
requirements, heightened operational resilience requirements,
incremental tax requirements, additional levies, limitations on
permitted activities, constraints on remuneration, constraints on
transfers of capital and liquidity and sharing of operational costs
across the Group or other measures, and the effect these will or
would have on UBS’s business activities; (vii) UBS’s ability to
successfully implement resolvability and related regulatory
requirements and the potential need to make further changes to the
legal structure or booking model of UBS in response to legal and
regulatory requirements and any additional requirements due to its
acquisition of the Credit Suisse Group, or other developments;
(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 current
geopolitical turmoil; (ix) the uncertainty arising from domestic
stresses in certain major economies; (x) changes in UBS’s
competitive position, including whether differences in regulatory
capital and other requirements among the major financial centers
adversely affect UBS’s ability to compete in certain lines of
business; (xi) changes in the standards of conduct applicable to
its businesses that may result from new regulations or new
enforcement of existing standards, including measures to impose new
and enhanced duties when interacting with customers and in the
execution and handling of customer transactions; (xii) the
liability to which UBS may be exposed, or possible constraints or
sanctions that regulatory authorities might impose on UBS, due to
litigation, contractual claims and regulatory investigations,
including the potential for disqualification from certain
businesses, potentially large fines or monetary penalties, or the
loss of licenses or privileges as a result of regulatory or other
governmental sanctions, as well as the effect that litigation,
regulatory and similar matters have on the operational risk
component of its RWA, including as a result of its acquisition of
the Credit Suisse Group, as well as the amount of capital available
for return to shareholders; (xiii) the effects on UBS’s business,
in particular cross-border banking, of sanctions, tax or regulatory
developments and of possible changes in UBS’s policies and
practices; (xiv) 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; (xv)
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; (xvi) UBS’s ability to implement new
technologies and business methods, including digital services and
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; (xvii) limitations on the
effectiveness of UBS’s internal processes for risk management, risk
control, measurement and modeling, and of financial models
generally; (xviii) 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 cyberattack threats from both nation states and
non-nation-state actors targeting financial institutions; (xix)
restrictions on the ability of UBS Group AG and 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;
(xx) 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; (xxi)
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 possibility of
conflict between different governmental standards and regulatory
regimes; (xxii) the ability of UBS to access capital markets;
(xxiii) 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 (e.g. the
Russia–Ukraine war), pandemic, security breach, cyberattack, power
loss, telecommunications failure or other natural or man-made
event, including the ability to function remotely during long-term
disruptions such as the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic; (xxiv) the
level of success in the absorption of Credit Suisse, in the
integration of the two groups and their businesses, and in the
execution of the planned strategy regarding cost reduction and
divestment of any non-core assets, the existing assets and
liabilities of Credit Suisse, the level of resulting impairments
and write-downs, the effect of the consummation of the integration
on the operational results, share price and credit rating of UBS –
delays, difficulties, or failure in closing the transaction may
cause market disruption and challenges for UBS to maintain
business, contractual and operational relationships; and (xxv) 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 2023. 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.
