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 IFRS Accounting Standards,
as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (the IASB), or in other applicable recognized accounting
standards or 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. Each APM that qualifies as a non-GAAP
measure as defined by US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations is designated as such in the table
of APMs in the appendix to this report.

Changes in interim reporting
As previously announced, from the first quarter of 2026 onward, UBS’s first- and third-quarter financial reports
include consolidated financial information that is no longer prepared in accordance with IAS 34,
Interim Financial
Reporting
. Instead, UBS publishes consolidated financial information for those quarters that is prepared in
accordance with UBS Group accounting policies, which are consistent with IFRS Accounting Standards, but does
not include all explanatory notes as required under IAS 34 and therefore does not constitute an “interim financial
report” as defined by IAS 34.
The income statement, the statement of comprehensive income and information related to those statements in the
“Consolidated financial information” section of this report are presented on the basis of the nine-month periods
ended 30 September 2026 and 30 September 2025. The balance sheet and related information are presented as
of 30 September 2026 and 31 December 2025.
In 2026, UBS started the publication of semi-annual interim financial reports that include interim consolidated
financial statements as of and for the six-month period ending 30 June, prepared in accordance with IAS 34.

Recent developments
Management report
Integration of Credit Suisse
We are progressing according to plan in the final phase of the integration and remain firmly on track to achieve
substantial completion by year-end 2026.
During the third quarter of 2026, our primary focus was on the continued decommissioning of legacy IT
infrastructure. As of 30 September 2026, approximately 98% of legacy Credit Suisse IT applications in scope for
decommissioning were no longer in use and around 90% of such applications had been fully decommissioned.
In the third quarter of 2026, we realized additional gross cost savings of USD 0.6bn, bringing our cumulative gross
cost savings at the end of September 2026 to USD 13.2bn compared with the 2022 combined cost base of UBS
and Credit Suisse. Reflecting this progress, we now expect to deliver total gross cost savings of around USD 13.7bn
by the end of 2026, above our stated ambition of around USD 13.5bn.
Cumulative integration-related expenses incurred by the end of September 2026 amounted to USD 14.6bn, and
we expect to have incurred around USD 15.1bn by the end of this year, assuming in both cases constant foreign-
exchange rates compared with 30 September 2023.
The wind-down of our Non-core and Legacy division is nearly complete, and as of 30 September 2026 the division
had achieved a 91% reduction in underlying operating expenses (excluding litigation) compared with the 2022
baseline. In addition, a 68% reduction in risk-weighted assets (RWA) has been achieved since the second quarter
of 2023 and a reduction of credit and market risk RWA to USD 3bn, ahead of our year-end 2026 ambition of
around USD 4bn.
Regulatory and legal developments
Banking regulation in Switzerland
In August 2026, the Swiss Federal Council launched two public consultations on further measures under the too-
big-to-fail reform package, with one consultation covering proposed legislative measures and the other covering
proposed amendments to the Swiss Liquidity Ordinance. The proposed legislative measures, to be submitted to the
Swiss Parliament for enactment, include additional requirements for the recovery and resolution of systemically
important banks (SIBs), add measures to enhance banks’ ability to obtain liquidity from the Swiss National Bank,
introduce a Senior Managers Regime for banks with more complex organizational structures, and provide expanded
supervisory powers for the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA). This consultation will conclude in
November 2026, and the Swiss Federal Council is expected to submit its final legislative proposal to the Swiss
Parliament in the first half of 2027. The entry into force of these changes is expected no earlier than the beginning
of 2029. The proposed amendments to the Swiss Liquidity Ordinance, including quantitative minimum requirements
for borrowing capacity for emergency liquidity assistance, are subject to public consultation until November 2026.
Related amendments are expected to enter into force no earlier than the beginning of 2029, with an expected
phase in over a period of four years.
In September 2026, the Council of States (the upper house of the Swiss Parliament) supported a proposal requiring
SIBs to deduct 90% of the carrying value of foreign participations from regulatory capital, with the deduction to
be made entirely from common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital. This proposal is now subject to the deliberations of the
National Council (the lower house of the Swiss Parliament). If enacted in the form supported by the Council of
States, the proposal is expected to be phased in commencing in 2028, at the earliest, and would require UBS AG
to hold approximately USD 16bn of additional CET1 capital. This would come in addition to around USD 2bn of
additional CET1 capital required at UBS AG as a result of the ordinance-level measures announced earlier this year.
UBS AG must also hold the previously disclosed CET1 capital of around USD 15bn under existing regulations
following the acquisition of Credit Suisse. This amount includes around USD 9bn related to regulatory concessions
granted to Credit Suisse and around USD 6bn to meet the current progressive requirements due to the increased
size and market share of the combined business.
UBS Group third quarter 2026 report |
If the decision by the Council of States is confirmed, UBS would be required to hold a total of around USD 33bn of
incremental CET1 capital since the acquisition of Credit Suisse. In parallel, once implemented, the ordinance-level
changes announced earlier this year would eliminate an estimated USD 4bn of CET1 capital at the Group level. The
total annual capital-related cost resulting from the acquisition would amount to around USD 2.5bn.
Other developments
Repurchase of legacy Credit Suisse debt
In September 2026, UBS repurchased USD 9.8bn aggregate principal amount of legacy Credit Suisse senior debt
instruments for an aggregate acquisition cost of around USD 9.9bn. UBS recognized a net loss of USD 346m in the
third quarter of 2026 on the retirement of these instruments, including the release of purchase price allocation
adjustments of USD 241m. The net loss has been recorded in Other income and is expected to be offset in future
periods by lower ongoing interest expense.
Settlements of legacy legal matters
In the third quarter of 2026, UBS resolved and settled certain legacy legal matters recorded in Non-core and Legacy.
The settlements resulted in a net gain of USD 697m, which has been recorded in Other income and included in
underlying results.
Changes to fund administration businesses
In October 2026, UBS reached an agreement to extend its long-standing fund administration relationship with
Northern Trust. As part of this agreement, UBS will transfer its former Credit Suisse traditional and alternatives fund
administration businesses based in Luxembourg and Switzerland to Northern Trust, subject to regulatory approvals.
In addition, UBS’s Swiss and Luxembourg management companies will extend their existing agreement to include
investment funds that are currently serviced by UBS. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of
2027, and UBS does not expect to recognize a material profit or loss.
Acquisition of an equity stake in 360 ONE WAM Ltd
On 22 October 2026, UBS exercised all of the warrants that it had previously subscribed for pursuant to an
agreement entered into in the second quarter of 2025 with 360 ONE WAM Ltd (360 ONE), one of India’s largest
independent wealth and asset management firms. Following the exercise, UBS holds 20.5 million shares in
360 ONE, representing an equity stake of approximately 4.8% in the company. The exercise of the warrants and
the acquisition of the equity stake did not result in a material profit or loss.
Capital returns
In the third quarter of 2026 we repurchased USD 1,807m of shares under our 2026 share repurchase programs.
We expect to complete our current USD 3bn share repurchase program by the time of the publication of our fourth-
quarter 2026 results. The amount and pace of share repurchases will remain subject to our short-term financial
performance and outlook, maintaining a CET1 capital ratio of around 14% and further visibility on the deliberations
by the Swiss Parliament on the capitalization of foreign subsidiaries.

partly offsetting gain of USD 241m from the release of PPA adjustments (a net loss of USD 346m was recognized on retirement of these instruments in the third quarter of 2026). 3 Negative values represent net
income.
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 2026, underlying revenues excluded purchase price allocation (PPA) effects and other
integration items of negative USD 38m, including a net loss of USD 346m from the repurchase of legacy Credit
Suisse debt instruments. PPA effects mainly consisted 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 results included a net gain of
USD 697m related to settlements of certain legacy legal matters in Non-core and Legacy.

In the third quarter of 2026, underlying expenses excluded integration-related expenses and PPA effects of
USD 452m. Integration-related expenses 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: 3Q26 vs 3Q25
Reported operating profit before tax increased by USD 759m, or 27%, to USD 3,587m, mainly reflecting an increase
in total revenues and a decrease in operating expenses. Total revenues increased by USD 590m, or 5%, to
USD 13,350m, which included a decrease of USD 739m in PPA effects and other integration items. The increase in
total revenues was primarily driven by an increase of USD 326m in other income, largely reflecting a net gain of
USD 697m related to settlements of certain legacy legal matters in Non-core and Legacy, partly offset by a net loss
of USD 346m from the repurchase of legacy Credit Suisse debt instruments, and also driven by an increase of
USD 286m in net fee and commission income. Operating expenses decreased by USD 183m, or 2%, to
USD 9,648m, which included an USD 871m decrease in integration-related expenses and PPA effects. The decrease
in operating expenses was mainly driven by decreases of USD 469m in personnel expenses and USD 97m in
depreciation, amortization and impairment of non-financial assets, partly offset by an increase of USD 383m in
general and administrative expenses. Net credit loss expenses were USD 114m, compared with USD 102m in the
third quarter of 2025.
Underlying results 3Q26 vs 3Q25
On an underlying basis, profit before tax increased by USD 487m to USD 4,077m, mainly reflecting a USD 1,188m
increase in total revenues, partly offset by an increase of USD 690m in operating expenses.
Total revenues: 3Q26 vs 3Q25
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 23m to USD 5,460m and included a decrease of USD 140m in accretion impacts
resulting from PPA adjustments on financial instruments and other PPA effects, mainly in Personal & Corporate
Banking and Global Wealth Management.
The overall year-on-year decrease was primarily driven by Group Items, which reported negative revenues of
USD 422m, compared with negative revenues of USD 153m in the third quarter of 2025, driven by mark-to-market
effects on economic hedges for accrual-accounted balance-sheet positions and valuation effects on callable own
debt, mainly due to the sharp rise in US dollar interest rates. In addition, revenues in Personal & Corporate Banking
decreased by USD 114m to USD 1,512m, mainly reflecting an USD 85m decrease in net interest income, largely
driven by lower PPA accretion effects.
These decreases were partly offset by a USD 154m increase in the Investment Bank’s revenues to USD 2,024m,
mainly driven by Global Markets, mostly due to higher client balances in Prime Brokerage within Financing. The
increase in Global Markets was partly offset by lower revenues in Capital Markets in Global Banking. Non-core and
Legacy reported revenues of USD 66m, compared with negative USD 43m in the third quarter of 2025, mainly
reflecting lower liquidity and funding costs as a result of a smaller portfolio. Revenues in Global Wealth
Management increased by USD 78m to USD 2,270m, predominantly reflecting an USD 84m increase in net interest
income, primarily driven by higher deposit margins, which included the effects from deposit pricing measures, and
higher loan revenues, mainly due to an increase in loan volumes.

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
Net fee and commission income increased by USD 286m to USD 7,490m and included a decrease of USD 108m in
accretion of PPA adjustments on financial instruments and other PPA effects, which was reflected in other fee and
commission income, predominantly in Global Banking in the Investment Bank.
Fees for portfolio management, investment funds and related services increased by USD 334m to USD 5,376m. The
increase was mostly driven by higher average levels of fee-generating assets in Global Wealth Management,
reflecting positive market performance and net new fee-generating asset inflows over the course of the past 12
months, primarily from mandates.
Net brokerage fees increased by USD 131m to USD 1,423m, driven by higher volumes in Cash Equities in Execution
Services in the Investment Bank, particularly in the Asia Pacific region.
M&A and corporate finance fees decreased by USD 123m to USD 220m, mainly reflecting lower merger and
acquisition transaction revenues in Advisory in Global Banking in the Investment Bank.

Other income
Other income was USD 399m, compared with USD 73m in the third quarter of 2025. The third quarter of 2026
included a net gain of USD 697m related to settlements of certain legacy legal matters in Non-core and Legacy,
partly offset by a net loss of USD 346m from the repurchase of legacy Credit Suisse debt instruments. The third
quarter of 2025 included a USD 128m gain from the sale of a stake in Credit Suisse Securities (China) Limited and
a USD 33m gain from the sale of our wealth management business in India, partly offset by a USD 140m loss related
to an investment in an associate.

1 Financial advisor compensation mainly 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
Personnel expenses decreased by USD 469m to USD 6,703m, mainly driven by the effects of a decrease in the
workforce. In addition, the third quarter of 2025 included a one-time, pre-tax loss of USD 190m due to the
integration of the Credit Suisse Swiss 1e plan into the Credit Suisse Swiss pension plan as of 1 January 2027, with
an offsetting gain in other comprehensive income. The decreases in personnel expenses were partly offset by an
increase in financial advisor compensation, resulting from higher compensable revenues.

General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses increased by USD 383m to USD 2,138m, predominantly due to the third
quarter of 2026 including net expenses of USD 336m for litigation, regulatory and similar matters, compared with
net releases of USD 668m in the third quarter of 2025. This was partly offset by decreases across most other
components of general and administrative expenses, which included a USD 442m decrease in integration-related
expenses.

2025, available under “Annual reporting” at
ubs.com/investors
, for more information about litigation, regulatory
and similar matters
Depreciation, amortization and impairment of non-financial assets
Depreciation, amortization and impairment of non-financial assets decreased by USD 97m to USD 807m, primarily
driven by a USD 56m decrease in impairments, largely related to internally generated capitalized software. In
addition, amortization of internally generated capitalized software decreased by USD 38m, mainly reflecting lower
levels of accelerated amortization.
Tax: 3Q26 vs 3Q25
The Group had a net income tax expense of USD 887m in the third quarter of 2026, representing an effective tax
rate of 24.7%, compared with USD 341m in the third quarter of 2025 and an effective tax rate of 12.0%.
This included a net current tax expense of USD 648m that primarily related to the taxable profits of
UBS Switzerland AG and other entities and a net deferred tax expense of USD 239m that mainly reflected the
amortization of deferred tax assets (DTAs) previously recognized in relation to tax losses and tax credits carried
forward and deductible temporary differences.
We expect a tax rate of around 23% for the full year 2026, excluding any potential effects from the remeasurement
of DTAs in connection with the business planning process.
Total comprehensive income attributable to shareholders
In the third quarter of 2026, total comprehensive income attributable to shareholders was USD 902m, reflecting a
net profit of USD 2,690m and other comprehensive income (OCI), net of tax, of negative USD 1,789m.
OCI related to cash flow hedges was negative USD 1,320m, mainly reflecting net unrealized losses on US dollar
hedging derivatives resulting from increases in the relevant US dollar long-term interest rates.
Foreign currency translation OCI was negative USD 718m, mainly due to the US dollar strengthening against the
Swiss franc.
OCI related to own credit on financial liabilities designated at fair value was USD 386m, primarily due to a widening
of our own credit spreads.

Sensitivity to interest rate movements
As of 30 September 2026, 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 1.3bn in the first
year after such a shift. Of this increase, approximately USD 1.0bn, USD 0.1bn 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 0.7bn. Of this increase, approximately USD 1.0bn would result from changes in the Swiss
franc interest rate, driven by both contractual and assumed flooring benefits under negative interest rates. US dollar
and euro interest rates would lead to partly offsetting decreases of USD 0.1bn 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 2026 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.

Key figures and personnel
Below is an overview of selected key figures of the Group.
Cost / income ratio: 3Q26 vs 3Q25
The cost / income ratio was 72.3%, compared with 77.0%, as a result of higher total revenues and lower operating
expenses. On an underlying basis, the cost / income ratio was 68.7%, compared with 69.7%, as a result of higher
total revenues, partly offset by higher operating expenses.
Personnel: 3Q26 vs 2Q26 and 3Q26 vs 3Q25
The number of internal and external personnel employed was approximately 109,990 (based on full-time
equivalents for internal personnel and workforce count for external personnel) as of 30 September 2026, a net
decrease of 2,398 compared with 30 June 2026 and a net decrease of 12,392 compared with 30 September 2025.
The number of internal personnel employed as of 30 September 2026 was 97,593 (full-time equivalents), a net
decrease of 1,492 compared with 30 June 2026 and a net decrease of 6,834 compared with 30 September 2025.
The number of external personnel was approximately 12,397 (workforce count) as of 30 September 2026, a net
decrease of approximately 906 compared with 30 June 2026 and a net decrease of 5,557 compared with
30 September 2025.

Common equity tier 1 capital: 3Q26 vs 2Q26
During the third quarter of 2026, our common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital increased by USD 0.7bn to USD 73.1bn,
mainly reflecting operating profit before tax of USD 3.6bn, partly offset by dividend accruals of USD 0.9bn, negative
foreign currency translation effects of USD 0.7bn, a USD 0.7bn negative effect from compensation- and own-share-
related capital components, and current tax expenses of USD 0.6bn. Share repurchases of USD 1.8bn made under
our 2026 share repurchase programs in the third quarter of 2026 did not affect our CET1 capital position, as there
was an identical reduction in the existing capital reserve for expected future share repurchases.
Return on common equity tier 1 capital: 3Q26 vs 3Q25
The annualized return on CET1 capital was 14.8%, compared with 13.5%. On an underlying basis, the return on
CET1 capital was 16.7%, compared with 16.3%. These increases were driven by an increase in net profit
attributable to shareholders and a decrease in average CET1 capital.
Risk-weighted assets: 3Q26 vs 2Q26
During the third quarter of 2026, RWA decreased by USD 7.8bn to USD 496.1bn, driven by a USD 4.7bn decrease
from currency effects, a USD 2.8bn decrease resulting from asset size and other movements, and a USD 0.2bn
decrease driven by model updates and methodology changes.

Common equity tier 1 capital ratio: 3Q26 vs 2Q26
Our CET1 capital ratio increased to 14.7% from 14.4%, reflecting the aforementioned USD 7.8bn decrease in RWA
and the aforementioned USD 0.7bn increase in CET1 capital.
Leverage ratio denominator: 3Q26 vs 2Q26
The leverage ratio denominator (the LRD) decreased by USD 58.6bn to USD 1,591.2bn, driven by a USD 38.3bn
decrease from asset size and other movements and a USD 20.3bn decrease from currency effects.
Common equity tier 1 leverage ratio: 3Q26 vs 2Q26
Our CET1 leverage ratio increased to 4.6% from 4.4%, reflecting the aforementioned USD 58.6bn decrease in the
LRD and the aforementioned USD 0.7bn increase in CET1 capital.

Results 9M26 vs 9M25
Reported operating profit before tax increased by USD 3,868m, or 54%, to USD 11,021m. Total revenues increased
by USD 3,864m and included an increase from foreign currency effects and a decrease of USD 1,086m in PPA
effects and other integration items. Operating expenses increased by USD 56m and included an increase from
foreign currency effects and a USD 1,458m decrease in integration-related expenses and PPA effects. Net credit loss
expenses were USD 305m, compared with USD 365m in the first nine months of 2025.
Total combined net interest income and other net income from financial instruments measured at fair value through
profit or loss increased by USD 1,400m to USD 17,823m. The overall increase was primarily driven by a USD 1,308m
increase in the Investment Bank’s revenues to USD 7,106m, mainly driven by Global Markets. This increase was
mostly due to higher levels of client activity in Derivatives & Solutions, as well as higher client balances in Prime
Brokerage within Financing.
Net fee and commission income increased by USD 2,111m to USD 22,800m. Fees for portfolio management,
investment funds and related services increased by USD 1,447m, predominantly in Global Wealth Management,
mainly driven by higher average levels of fee-generating assets, reflecting positive market performance and net new
fee-generating asset inflows over the course of the past 12 months, primarily from mandates. Net brokerage fees
increased by USD 909m, driven by higher volumes in Cash Equities in Execution Services in the Investment Bank,
particularly in the Asia Pacific region, and higher levels of client activity in Global Wealth Management across all
regions.
Other income was USD 670m compared with USD 317m in the first nine months of 2025. The first nine months of
2026 included a net gain of USD 697m related to settlements of certain legacy legal matters in Non-core and Legacy
and a USD 163m gain related to the Swisscard transactions (of which USD 128m has been excluded from underlying
revenues). These gains were partly offset by a net loss of USD 346m from the repurchase of legacy Credit Suisse
debt instruments. The first nine months of 2025 included a USD 128m gain from the sale of a stake in Credit Suisse
Securities (China) Limited, a USD 97m gain from the sale of Select Portfolio Servicing, a USD 64m gain related to
the Swisscard transactions and a USD 33m gain from the sale of our wealth management business in India, partly
offset by a USD 156m loss related to an investment in an associate.
Personnel expenses increased by USD 487m to USD 21,667m, mainly due to higher accruals for performance
awards, primarily reflecting business performance, an increase in financial advisor compensation, resulting from
higher compensable revenues, and foreign currency effects. This was partly offset by the effects of a decrease in
the workforce. In addition, the first nine months of 2025 included a one-time, pre-tax loss of USD 190m due to the
integration of the Credit Suisse Swiss 1e plan into the Credit Suisse Swiss pension plan as of 1 January 2027, with
an offsetting gain in other comprehensive income.
General and administrative expenses decreased by USD 114m to USD 5,953m, driven by decreases across most
components of general and administrative expenses, which included a USD 784m decrease in integration-related
expenses. In addition, the first nine months of 2025 included a USD 180m expense related to the Swisscard
transactions. The decreases were largely offset by the first nine months of 2026 including USD 352m net expenses
for litigation, regulatory and similar matters, compared with net releases of USD 966m in the first nine months of
2025.
UBS Group third quarter 2026 report |
UBS Group performance, business divisions and Group Items | Group performance 16
Depreciation, amortization and impairment of non-financial assets decreased by USD 316m to USD 2,347m,
primarily driven by a USD 174m decrease in the amortization of internally generated capitalized software, mainly
reflecting a lower cost base of software assets, and an USD 85m decrease in depreciation expenses for leased real
estate, resulting from lower levels of accelerated depreciation. In addition, there was a USD 40m decrease in
impairments, largely related to internally generated capitalized software.
Outlook
As we enter the fourth quarter, investor sentiment remains measured amid elevated macroeconomic volatility,
ongoing geopolitical tensions and political uncertainty, with consequential elections, including in the US.
For the fourth quarter, we expect a more typical sequential seasonal moderation in transaction volumes across our
businesses. In Global Markets, the strong prior-year performance, which included a gain on disposal, may weigh
on the year-on-year comparison. In Global Banking, we expect revenues to increase sequentially, based on the
current pipeline and assuming constructive markets. Net interest income is expected to increase by a low-single-
digit percentage sequentially in Global Wealth Management and increase slightly in Personal & Corporate Banking
in Swiss franc terms.
We expect to end 2026 with a CET1 capital ratio at or very close to our target of around 14%, including a potential
accrual for the initial portion of intended 2027 share buybacks.
UBS remains strategically committed to its diversified business model and its global and regional footprint. As the
political process on future regulatory requirements in Switzerland progresses, we will continue to engage
constructively in the hope that Parliament will reach a solution that supports the country’s financial stability without
imposing undue costs on UBS’s shareholders, clients and employees and without impacting its long-term
competitive position.

Results: 3Q26 vs 3Q25
Profit before tax increased by USD 565m, or 42%, to USD 1,919m, due to higher total revenues and lower
operating expenses. Underlying profit before tax was USD 1,972m, an increase of 11%, after excluding from
operating expenses USD 157m of integration-related expenses and purchase price allocation (PPA) effects and
excluding from total revenues USD 104m of PPA effects and other integration items.
Total revenues
Total revenues increased by USD 459m, or 7%, to USD 7,002m, driven by all revenue lines, and included a USD 67m
decrease in PPA effects and other integration items. Excluding USD 104m of PPA effects and other integration items,
underlying total revenues were USD 6,898m, an increase of 8%.
Net interest income increased by USD 84m, or 5%, to USD 1,857m and included a USD 40m decrease in accretion
of PPA adjustments on financial instruments and other PPA effects. Excluding PPA effects of USD 102m, underlying
net interest income was USD 1,755m, an increase of 8%, primarily driven by higher deposit margins, including the
effects from deposit pricing measures, and higher loan revenues, mainly driven by an increase in loan volumes.
Recurring net fee income increased by USD 326m, or 9%, to USD 3,801m, mainly driven by higher average levels
of fee-generating assets, reflecting positive market performance and net new fee-generating asset inflows over the
course of the past 12 months, primarily from mandates.
Transaction-based income increased by USD 29m, or 2%, to USD 1,325m, mainly driven by higher levels of client
activity in the Americas region and reflecting continued demand for structured products and wealth planning.
Excluding PPA effects of USD 2m, underlying transaction-based income was USD 1,323m, an increase of 4%.
Other revenues were USD 18m and mainly reflected our share of net profits of an associate and a fair value gain
from an equity investment, partly offset by a USD 10m fair value loss resulting from a strategic partnership. Other
revenues in the third quarter of 2025 were negative USD 1m and included both a loss of USD 38m related to an
investment in an associate and a USD 33m gain from the sale of our wealth management business in India.

Results
:
3Q26 vs 3Q25
Profit before tax increased by CHF 408m, or 80%, to CHF 915m, reflecting lower operating expenses and higher
total revenues, as well as lower net credit loss expenses. Underlying profit before tax was CHF 813m, an increase
of 22%, after excluding from total revenues CHF 142m of purchase price allocation (PPA) effects and other
integration items and excluding from operating expenses CHF 41m of integration-related expenses and PPA effects.
Total revenues
Total revenues increased by CHF 65m to CHF 1,929m, reflecting positive other revenues, compared with negative
other revenues in the prior-year quarter, and higher recurring net fee income, partly offset by lower net interest
income and transaction-based income. Excluding CHF 142m of PPA effects and other integration items, underlying
total revenues were CHF 1,787m, an increase of 4%.
Net interest income decreased by CHF 49m, or 4%, to CHF 1,071m, due to a CHF 71m decrease in accretion of
PPA adjustments on financial instruments and other PPA effects. Excluding PPA effects of CHF 130m, underlying
net interest income was CHF 942m, an increase of 2%, mainly reflecting higher loan revenues and deposit pricing
measures, partly offset by the impact of lower central bank interest rates on deposit revenues.
Recurring net fee income increased by CHF 30m, or 8%, to CHF 381m, driven by
an increase in custody and
mandate fees,
mainly reflecting positive market performance and net new inflows, as well as the effect from a
reclassification of certain card-related fees from transaction-based income to recurring net fee income from the
third quarter of 2026 onward.
Transaction-based income decreased by CHF 24m, or 5%, to CHF 439m and included an CHF 8m decrease in PPA
effects and other integration items. Excluding CHF 12m of PPA effects and other integration items, underlying
transaction-based income was CHF 427m, a decrease of 4%, reflecting the aforementioned reclassification, as well
as a reclassification of income related to certain financial instruments from transaction-based income to other
revenues from the fourth quarter of 2025 onward.
Other revenues were CHF 38m and included our share of net profits of an associate, as well as the effect from the
aforementioned reclassification. This compares with other revenues of negative CHF 70m in the third quarter of
2025, which included a net loss of CHF 81m related to an investment in an associate, which was excluded from
the underlying result.
Credit loss expense / release
Net credit loss expenses were CHF 27m, mainly reflecting net expenses of CHF 55m on credit-impaired positions
from a small number of corporate counterparties, partly offset by net releases on performing positions. Net credit
loss expenses were CHF 58m in the third quarter of 2025.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses decreased by CHF 312m, or 24%, to CHF 988m and included a CHF 261m decrease in
integration-related expenses. Excluding CHF 41m of integration-related expenses and PPA effects, underlying
operating expenses were CHF 947m, a decrease of 5%, reflecting cost savings, including those related to
integration synergies.
Results: 9M26 vs 9M25
Profit before tax increased by CHF 782m, or 48%, to CHF 2,400m, reflecting lower operating expenses and higher
total revenues, as well as lower net credit loss expenses. Underlying profit before tax was CHF 2,200m, an increase
of 21%. This underlying profit excludes from total revenues CHF 471m of PPA effects and other integration items,
and a gain of CHF 99m related to the Swisscard transactions; it also excludes from operating expenses CHF 369m
of integration-related expenses and PPA effects.
Total revenues increased by CHF 101m, or 2%, to CHF 5,854m, reflecting positive other revenues, compared with
negative other revenues in the prior-year period, partly offset by lower net interest income. Total revenues in the
first nine months of 2026 included CHF 471m of PPA effects and other integration items, as well as a gain of
CHF 126m related to the Swisscard transactions. Of this gain, CHF 99m has been excluded from the underlying
results and CHF 27m has been recognized as part of the underlying results. Excluding PPA effects and other
integration items and the aforementioned CHF 99m, underlying total revenues were CHF 5,284m, an increase of
CHF 159m, or 3%.

Net interest income decreased by CHF 161m, or 5%, to CHF 3,185m, reflecting a CHF 173m decrease in accretion
of PPA adjustments on financial instruments and other PPA effects. Excluding PPA effects of CHF 425m, underlying
net interest income was broadly stable at CHF 2,759m, as the impact of lower central bank interest rates on deposit
revenues was offset by deposit pricing measures and lower liquidity and funding costs.
Recurring net fee income increased by CHF 21m, or 2%, to CHF 1,087m, largely due to higher custody and
mandate fees, mainly reflecting positive market performance and net new inflows, partly offset by the first nine
months of 2025 including our share of Swisscard profit.
Transaction-based income was broadly stable at CHF 1,376m. Higher credit card revenues and increased shift and
referral fees were offset by the reclassification of income related to certain financial instruments from transaction-
based income to other revenues and by a CHF 17m decrease in PPA effects and other integration items. Excluding
CHF 45m of PPA effects and other integration items, underlying transaction-based income was CHF 1,331m, an
increase of 1%.
Other revenues were positive CHF 206m, compared with negative CHF 32m in the first nine months of 2025. The
first nine months of 2026 included a gain of CHF 126m related to the Swisscard transactions, of which CHF 99m
has been excluded from the underlying results, compared with a gain of CHF 58m in the first nine months of 2025.
Other revenues in the first nine months of 2025 included a net loss of CHF 90m related to an investment in an
associate. Excluding the aforementioned CHF 99m, underlying other revenues in the first nine months of 2026 were
CHF 107m, which mainly related to an investment in an associate and CHF 27m of deferred Swisscard revenues
related to the period in which the investment was classified as held for sale.
Net credit loss expenses were CHF 143m and mainly reflected net expenses on credit-impaired positions, which
primarily related to a small number of corporate counterparties. Net credit loss expenses in the prior-year period
were CHF 197m.
Operating expenses decreased by CHF 627m, or 16%, to CHF 3,311m, mainly driven by a CHF 295m decrease in
integration-related expenses and by a CHF 164m expense related to the Swisscard transactions in the first nine
months of 2025. Excluding CHF 369m of integration-related expenses and PPA effects, underlying operating
expenses were CHF 2,942m, a decrease of 5%, reflecting cost savings, including those related to integration
synergies.

fund services offering), distribution fees, incremental fund-related expenses, gains or losses from seed money and co-investments, funding costs, the negative pass-through impact of third-party performance fees, and
other items that are not Asset Management’s performance fees. For the third quarter of 2026, net management fees consisted of USD 14m of interest expense (second quarter of 2026: USD 15m; third quarter of
2025: USD 19m; nine-month period ended 30 September 2026: USD 42m; nine-month period ended 30 September 2025: USD 53m), USD 719m of recurring net fee and commission income (second quarter of 2026:

information about the equity attribution framework. 4 In the third quarter of 2025, certain portfolios were reclassified from Equities and Fixed Income to Multi-asset & Solutions, as a result of aligning Credit Suisse
presentation to that of UBS. These changes were applied prospectively. 5 From the first quarter of 2026 all assets that were formerly reported under Hedge Fund Businesses and Real Estate & Private Markets are
reported under a new Alternatives category. This includes Asset Management’s share of the Unified Global Alternatives business, as well as the Credit Investments Group, which was previously reported within Fixed
Income. Comparative figures have been reclassified to reflect this change. 6 The invested assets and net new money amounts reported for associates are prepared in accordance with their local regulatory requirements
and practices. 7 Includes invested assets from associates.
Results: 3Q26 vs 3Q25
Profit before tax increased by USD 53m, or 24%, to USD 271m, reflecting lower operating expenses, partly offset

related expenses of USD 28m.
Total revenues
Total revenues decreased by USD 63m, or 7%, to USD 780m, mainly due to lower performance fees, partly offset
by higher net management fees. The gross margin was 14 basis points.
Net management fees increased by USD 12m, or 2%, to USD 767m, mainly driven by higher average levels of
invested assets from positive market performance, largely offset by margin compression and lower transaction fees.
Net management fees of USD 767m included USD 1,005m of fund fee and commission income from investment
management activities, partly offset by related fee and commission expenses of USD 272m.

Refer to the “Recent developments” section of the UBS Group first quarter 2026 report for more information about

effects from the O’Connor business exit.

Invested assets: 3Q26 vs 3Q25
Invested assets increased by USD 158bn, or 8%, to USD 2,201bn, reflecting positive market performance of
USD 188bn and net new money of USD 23bn, partly offset by negative foreign currency effects of USD 44bn. The
fourth quarter of 2025 and the first quarter of 2026 together included a reduction of USD 9bn, reflecting the

Results: 9M26 vs 9M25
Profit before tax increased by USD 195m, or 38%, to USD 702m, reflecting lower operating expenses, partly offset
by lower total revenues. Underlying profit before tax was USD 788m, an increase of 11%, after excluding
integration-related expenses of USD 86m.
Total revenues decreased by USD 47m, or 2%, to USD 2,308m, mainly as higher net management fees were more
than offset by lower performance fees. The gross margin was 14 basis points.
Net management fees increased by USD 52m, or 2%, to USD 2,253m, mainly driven by higher average levels of
invested assets, primarily from positive market performance and positive foreign currency effects. This effect was
largely offset by the impact of the O’Connor business exit, margin compression, lower transaction fees and a
USD 13m loss related to the revaluation of an infrastructure fund co-investment. Net management fees of
USD 2,253m included USD 2,976m of fund fee and commission income from investment management activities,
partly offset by related fee and commission expenses of USD 807m.
Performance fees decreased by USD 98m, or 63%, to USD 58m, mainly reflecting the effects from the O’Connor
business exit.

Credit loss expense / release
Net credit loss expenses were USD 38m, reflecting net expenses on credit-impaired positions, compared with net
credit loss expenses of USD 6m in the third quarter of 2025.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses were USD 544m, an increase of USD 488m, and included a USD 28m decrease in integration-
related expenses. The increase in operating expenses mainly reflected USD 275m net expenses for litigation,
regulatory and similar matters (compared with USD 440m net releases in the third quarter of 2025), partly offset
by lower professional fees, technology costs and personnel expenses. Excluding integration-related expenses of
USD 177m, underlying operating expenses were USD 366m.
Risk-weighted assets and leverage ratio denominator: 3Q26 vs 2Q26
Risk-weighted assets decreased by USD 0.4bn to USD 27.3bn, mostly due to decreases in the macro and loan
portfolios. The leverage ratio denominator decreased by USD 0.3bn to USD 13.5bn, mainly driven by reductions in
high-quality liquid assets and the securitized product portfolio, partly offset by the settlements of certain legacy
legal matters.
Results: 9M26 vs 9M25
Loss before tax was USD 175m, compared with a loss before tax of USD 744m. Underlying profit before tax was
USD 211m, after excluding integration-related expenses of USD 386m, compared with an underlying loss before
tax of USD 98m.
Total revenues were USD 798m, an increase of USD 636m, primarily reflecting a net gain of USD 697m related to
the settlements of certain legacy legal matters, as well as lower liquidity and funding costs as a result of a smaller
portfolio. Total revenues in the first nine months of 2025 included a gain of USD 97m from the sale of Select
Portfolio Servicing, the US mortgage servicing business of Credit Suisse.
Net credit loss releases were USD 36m, predominantly driven by an USD 85m release in the first quarter of 2026
following the repayment of a corporate lending exposure, partly offset by net expenses on credit-impaired positions.
Net credit loss expenses were USD 11m in the first nine months of 2025.
Operating expenses increased by USD 115m, or 13%, to USD 1,009m and included a USD 262m decrease in
integration-related expenses. The increase in operating expenses mainly reflected USD 290m net expenses for
litigation, regulatory and similar matters (compared with USD 868m net releases in the prior-year period), partly
offset by lower technology costs, premises and facilities costs, professional fees, personnel expenses, and operations
costs. Excluding integration-related expenses of USD 386m, underlying operating expenses were USD 623m.

Results: 3Q26 vs 3Q25
Loss before tax was USD 740m, compared with a loss of USD 173m in the third quarter of 2025. The change in the
result between the quarters was mainly driven by a net loss of USD 346m from the repurchase of legacy Credit
Suisse debt instruments, which included the release of purchase price allocation (PPA) adjustments of USD 241m,
and mark-to-market losses from Group hedging and own debt, including hedge accounting ineffectiveness.
Underlying loss before tax was USD 403m, after excluding from total revenues negative USD 337m of PPA effects
and other integration items, which included the aforementioned net loss of USD 346m. This compared with an
underlying loss before tax of USD 187m in the third quarter of 2025.
Underlying income from Group hedging and own debt, including hedge accounting ineffectiveness, was net
negative USD 265m, compared with net negative underlying income of USD 9m in the third quarter of 2025. The
losses in the third quarter of 2026 were driven by mark-to-market effects on economic hedges for accrual-
accounted balance-sheet positions and valuation effects on callable own debt, mainly due to the sharp rise in
US dollar interest rates.
Results: 9M26 vs 9M25
Loss before tax was USD 1,305m, mainly driven by mark-to-market losses from Group hedging and own debt,
including hedge accounting ineffectiveness, and by a net loss of USD 346m from the repurchase of legacy Credit
Suisse debt instruments, which included the release of PPA adjustments of USD 241m. The USD 667m increase in
loss before tax between the periods was largely due to the increase in the aforementioned mark-to-market losses
and a net loss from the debt repurchase, partly offset by lower net expenses for litigation, regulatory and similar
matters.
Underlying loss before tax was USD 982m, after excluding from total revenues negative USD 264m of PPA effects
and other integration items, which included the aforementioned net loss of USD 346m, and also excluding from
operating expenses USD 59m of integration-related expenses. This compared with an underlying loss before tax of
USD 701m in the first nine months of 2025.
Underlying income from Group hedging and own debt, including hedge accounting ineffectiveness, was net
negative USD 621m, compared with net negative underlying income of USD 169m. The losses in the first nine
months of 2026 were mainly driven by portfolio hedges on equity and credit risks, valuation effects on callable own
debt, and mark-to-market effects on economic hedges for accrual-accounted balance-sheet positions.

Overall banking products exposure
Overall banking products exposure was USD 1,073.6bn as of 30 September 2026, a decrease of USD 31.4bn
compared with 30 June 2026. The decrease was mainly due to decreases in balances at central banks, loans and
advances to customers and irrevocable loan commitments.

1 IFRS 9 gross exposure for banking products includes the following financial instruments in scope of expected credit loss requirements: balances at central banks, amounts due from banks, loans and advances to
customers, other financial assets at amortized cost, guarantees and irrevocable loan commitments. 2 Internal management view of credit risk, which differs in certain respects from IFRS Accounting Standards.
3 Commitments that can be canceled by UBS at any time but expose UBS to credit risk if the client has the ability to draw the facility before UBS can take action. These commitments are subject to expected credit loss
requirements.
Loan underwriting
In the Investment Bank, mandated loan underwriting commitments on a notional basis increased by USD 4.5bn
compared with 30 June 2026, to USD 12.4bn as of 30 September 2026, driven mainly by new mandated deals,
partly offset by deal syndications and cancellations. As of 30 September 2026, USD 0.6bn of these commitments
had not been distributed as originally planned.
Loan underwriting exposures in the Investment Bank are classified as held for trading, with fair values reflecting the
market conditions at the end of the quarter. Credit hedges are in place to help protect against fair value movements
in the portfolio.

1 Statistics at individual levels may not be summed to deduce the corresponding aggregate figures. The minima and maxima for each level may occur on different days, and, likewise, the VaR for each business division
or risk type, being driven by the extreme loss tail of the corresponding distribution of simulated profits and losses for that business division or risk type, may well be driven by different days in the historical time series,
rendering invalid the simple summation of figures to arrive at the aggregate total. 2 The difference between the sum of the standalone VaR for the business divisions and Group Items and the total VaR. 3 As the
minima and maxima for different business divisions and Group Items occur on different days, it is not meaningful to calculate a portfolio diversification effect.
Economic value of equity and net interest income sensitivity
The economic value of equity (EVE) sensitivity in the UBS Group banking book to a +1-basis-point parallel shift in
yield curves was negative USD 45.2m as of 30 September 2026, compared with negative USD 46.0m as of 30 June
2026. This excluded the sensitivity of USD 9.2m from additional tier 1 (AT1) capital instruments (as per specific Swiss
Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) requirements) in contrast to general Basel Committee on Banking
Supervision (BCBS) guidance. The decrease of the EVE sensitivity (as per FINMA requirements) in the third quarter
of 2026 was predominantly driven by higher US dollar interest rates.
The majority of our interest rate risk in the banking book (IRRBB) as of 30 September 2026 was a reflection of the
net asset duration that we ran to offset our modeled sensitivity of net USD 31.8m (30 June 2026: USD 33.3m)
assigned to our equity, goodwill and real estate, with the aim of generating a stable net interest income
contribution. Of this, USD 18.7m and USD 11.2m were attributable to the US dollar and the Swiss franc portfolios,
respectively, (30 June 2026: USD 19.6m and USD 11.8m, respectively).
In addition to the aforementioned sensitivity, we calculate the six interest rate shock scenarios prescribed by FINMA.
The “Parallel up” scenario, assuming all positions were measured at fair value, was the most severe as of
30 September 2026 and would have resulted in a change in EVE of negative USD 8.3bn, or 8.7% of our tier 1
capital (30 June 2026: negative USD 8.6bn, or 9.0%), which is well below the 15% threshold as per the BCBS
supervisory outlier test for high levels of IRRBB.
The immediate effect on our tier 1 capital in the “Parallel up” scenario as of 30 September 2026 would have been
a decrease of approximately USD 1.2bn, or 1.3%, in our tier 1 capital (30 June 2026: USD 1.1bn, or 1.1%),
reflecting the fact that the vast majority of our banking book is accrual accounted or subject to hedge accounting.
The “Parallel up” scenario would subsequently have a positive effect on net interest income, assuming a constant
balance sheet.
As the overall interest rate risk sensitivity shows a greater impact from slower asset repricing compared with faster
liabilities repricing, the “Parallel down” scenario was the most beneficial as of 30 September 2026 and would have
resulted in a change in EVE of positive USD 8.6bn (30 June 2026: positive USD 8.6bn) and a small positive
immediate effect on our tier 1 capital.

Country risk
We remain watchful of a broad range of geopolitical developments and political changes in a number of countries,
including the conflicts in the Middle East, intensifying rivalries among major powers, the re-emergence of regional
spheres of influence, and continued stress on multi-lateral economic and security institutions. As of 30 September
2026, our direct exposure to Israel was less than USD 0.5bn, and our direct exposure to Gulf Cooperation Council
countries was less than USD 5bn, while our direct exposure to Egypt and Jordan was limited, and we had no direct
exposure to Iran, Iraq, Lebanon or Syria. Our direct exposure to Russia as of 30 September 2026 was less than
USD 0.5bn, and our direct exposure to Belarus and Ukraine remained immaterial. As of 30 September 2026, our
exposure to emerging-market countries was less than 10% of our total country exposure and mainly to countries
in Asia.
In the third quarter of 2026, energy prices remained elevated, particularly due to the impact of the conflicts in the
Middle East, and are increasingly contributing to global inflation. Against this backdrop, major central banks have
adopted a more cautious policy stance. Expectations of higher rates and fiscal concerns have contributed to a sharp
rise in long-dated government bond yields across major economies, particularly in France. Growth momentum in
China improved slightly in the third quarter of 2026, after a weak second quarter, but concerns remain regarding
the property sector, strains on local government finances and the outcome of trade negotiations with the US,
despite a temporary agreement to halt trade disputes until early 2027.

Non-financial risk
Compliance risk
We are committed to achieving fair outcomes for our clients, upholding market integrity and cultivating the highest
standards of employee conduct. To support these objectives, we maintain a Group-wide conduct risk framework
designed to promote consistent standards and foster a strong culture of accountability.
We continue to emphasize areas such as investment suitability, market conduct, product governance, cross-
divisional service offerings, quality of advice and price transparency. These remain key focus areas for UBS and the
wider financial sector. Cross-border risk continues to be an area of regulatory attention for global financial
institutions, including a focus on market access, such as third-country market access to the European Economic
Area. We maintain a series of controls designed to address these risks.
Regulatory fragmentation, particularly that related to environmental, social and governance topics, and the risk of
greenwashing also remain areas of focus.
Financial crime risk
Financial crime, including money laundering, terrorist financing, sanctions violations, fraud, bribery and corruption,
presents a major risk, as technological innovation and geopolitical developments increase the complexity of doing
business and heightened regulatory attention continues.
An effective financial crime prevention framework therefore remains essential. We continue to focus on
enhancements to our global anti-money-laundering, know-your-client and sanctions frameworks and have made
significant investments to strengthen such frameworks. Money laundering and financial fraud techniques are
becoming increasingly sophisticated, and heightened geopolitical volatility makes the sanctions landscape more
complex. We continue to take into consideration the risks of illicit finance proceeds and sanctions circumvention
typologies stemming from geopolitical developments, political changes in several countries and evolving armed
conflicts.
Operational risk
Cyber-related risk remains elevated due to significant advances in artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled cyber techniques
(including those emerging from frontier AI models), reflecting a dynamic and sophisticated threat environment. We
remain on heightened alert and continue to enhance our technology infrastructure, security governance,
monitoring, detection, response and recovery capabilities.
Third-party risks remain elevated due to persistent cyber threats and supply chain dependencies supporting the
delivery of critical services. The evolving threat landscape and increasing technological sophistication continue to
drive enhancements to the third-party risk management framework to address emerging risks.
The increasing use of data-driven processes and forms of AI, including generative AI and machine learning,
continues to introduce operational risk considerations relating to data life-cycle management, data quality, model
risk, data ethics, privacy, security, and third-party risk. We have established an AI framework and policy, including
risk appetite metrics and controls to support the mitigation of these risks. We will continue to refine the framework
as AI tooling evolves.

UBS Group AG is a holding company conducting substantially all of its operations through UBS AG and subsidiaries
thereof. UBS Group AG and UBS AG contribute a significant portion of their respective capital to, and provide
substantial liquidity to, such subsidiaries. Many of these subsidiaries are subject to regulations requiring compliance
with minimum capital, liquidity and similar requirements.

1 Includes applicable add-ons of 1.88% for risk-weighted assets (RWA) and 0.58% for leverage ratio denominator (LRD). For the RWA-based requirement the add-on includes 0.86% for market share, 0.79% for LRD
and 0.22% reflecting 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. For the LRD-based requirement the add-
on includes 0.30% for market share and 0.28% for LRD. 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 3.58% consists of a 1.5% base requirement, a 1.5% base buffer capital requirement, a 0.28% LRD add-on requirement and a 0.30% market share
add-on requirement based on our Swiss credit business. 4 UBS meets its minimum going concern capital requirements with CET1 capital and AT1 capital. As UBS exceeds its minimum going concern requirements,
the actual available and eligible AT1 capital is above the AT1 capital used to meet the minimum requirements (which is capped at 4.37% as explained in footnote 2 above). 5 A maximum of 25% of the gone concern
requirements can be met with instruments that have a remaining maturity of between one and two years. Once at least 75% of the minimum gone concern requirement has been met with instruments that have a
remaining maturity of greater than two years, all instruments that have a remaining maturity of between one and two years remain eligible to be included in the total gone concern capital. 6 Systemically important
banks (SIBs) are subject to base gone concern capital requirements equivalent to 75% of the total going concern requirements (excluding countercyclical buffer requirements and the Pillar 2 add-on). 7 The Swiss
Financial Market Supervisory Authority (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-on) should obstacles to an SIB’s resolvability be identified in future resolvability assessments. 8 Includes applicable add-ons of 1.24% for RWA and 0.43% for LRD. 9 Includes an add-back of 45% of unrealized
gains from financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Such gains do not qualify as CET1 capital, but 45% of these gains can be recognized as gone concern capital.
Additional capital requirements for UBS Group AG consolidated under current requirements
As a result of the acquisition of the Credit Suisse Group in 2023, the capital add-ons applicable to UBS’s SRBs based
on market share and the LRD for UBS Group AG consolidated have increased commensurate with the Group’s
increased market share and higher LRD after the acquisition. Based on the existing regulations, we currently
estimate that this will add around USD 6bn to the Group’s tier 1 capital requirement over the phase-in period,
which commenced on 1 January 2026 and will be completed by 1 January 2030. Phase-in requirements are
composed of the existing add-ons and the phased-in increases. As of 1 January 2026, the applicable add-ons for
RWA-based requirements were 0.86% for increased market share (1.44% on a fully applied basis) and 0.79% for
higher LRD (1.08% on a fully applied basis) and the add-ons for the LRD-based requirements were 0.30% for
increased market share (0.50% on a fully applied basis) and 0.28% for higher LRD (0.38% on a fully applied basis).
As of 30 September 2026, the phase-in of the higher add-ons resulted in increases of USD 1.1bn and USD 1.2bn
in the Group’s tier 1 RWA- and LRD-based capital requirements, respectively.

Total loss-absorbing capacity and movement
Our TLAC decreased by USD 6.9bn to USD 186.7bn in the third quarter of 2026.
Going concern capital and movement
Our going concern capital decreased by USD 0.1bn to USD 95.9bn. Our common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital
increased by USD 0.7bn to USD 73.1bn, mainly reflecting operating profit before tax of USD 3.6bn, partly offset by
dividend accruals of USD 0.9bn, negative foreign currency translation effects of USD 0.7bn, a USD 0.7bn negative
effect from compensation- and own-share-related capital components, and current tax expenses of USD 0.6bn.
Share repurchases of USD 1.8bn made under our 2026 share repurchase programs in the third quarter of 2026 did
not affect our CET1 capital position, as there was an identical reduction in the existing capital reserve for expected
future share repurchases.
›
Refer to the “Share information and earnings per share” section of this report for more information about our
share repurchase programs
Our loss-absorbing additional tier 1 (AT1) capital decreased by USD 0.7bn to USD 22.8bn, reflecting negative
impacts from interest rate risk hedge, foreign currency translation and other effects.
Following the approval of a maximum amount of conversion capital by UBS Group AG’s shareholders at the 2024
Annual General Meeting, AT1 capital instruments issued from the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2023
(excluding Deferred Contingent Capital Plan awards) are, upon the occurrence of a trigger event or a viability event,
subject to conversion into UBS Group AG ordinary shares rather than a write-down. AT1 capital instruments issued
prior to the fourth quarter of 2023 remain subject to a write-down.
Gone concern loss-absorbing capacity and movement
Our total gone concern loss-absorbing capacity decreased by USD 6.9bn to USD 90.8bn and largely reflected
USD 90.8bn of TLAC-eligible senior unsecured debt instruments. The decrease was mainly driven by USD 9.7bn of
TLAC-eligible senior unsecured debt instruments (USD 9.8bn in notional amount) that we repurchased in September
2026, the redemption of TLAC-eligible senior unsecured debt instruments for the equivalent of USD 4.7bn and
negative impacts from interest rate risk hedge, foreign currency translation and other effects. These decreases were
partly offset by new issuances of TLAC-eligible senior unsecured debt instruments totaling the equivalent of
USD 11.1bn.

Additional information
Sensitivity to currency movements
Risk-weighted assets
We estimate that a 10% depreciation of the US dollar against other currencies would have increased our RWA by
USD 23bn and our CET1 capital by USD 2.7bn as of 30 September 2026 (30 June 2026: USD 24bn and USD 2.7bn,
respectively) and decreased our CET1 capital ratio by 13 basis points (30 June 2026: 13 basis points). Conversely, a
10% appreciation of the US dollar against other currencies would have decreased our RWA by USD 21bn and our
CET1 capital by USD 2.4bn (30 June 2026: USD 21bn and USD 2.4bn, respectively) and increased our CET1 capital
ratio by 12 basis points (30 June 2026: 13 basis points).
Leverage ratio denominator
We estimate that a 10% depreciation of the US dollar against other currencies would have increased our LRD by
USD 101bn as of 30 September 2026 (30 June 2026: USD 105bn) and decreased our CET1 leverage ratio by
12 basis points (30 June 2026: 11 basis points). Conversely, a 10% appreciation of the US dollar against other
currencies would have decreased our LRD by USD 92bn (30 June 2026: USD 95bn) and increased our CET1 leverage
ratio by 12 basis points (30 June 2026: 11 basis points).
The aforementioned sensitivities do not consider foreign currency translation effects related to defined benefit plans
other than those related to the currency translation of the net equity of foreign operations.

The LRD movements described below exclude currency effects.
On-balance sheet exposures (excluding derivatives and securities financing transactions) decreased by USD 15.2bn,
mainly due to a decrease in cash and balances at central banks, partly offset by an increase in lending assets, mainly
reflecting positive net new loans in Global Wealth Management and Personal & Corporate Banking.
Derivative exposures decreased by USD 12.5bn, mainly due to a methodology change in the calculation of potential
future exposure, which primarily impacted certain short-dated derivatives in the Investment Bank.
Securities financing transaction exposures decreased by USD 11.1bn, mainly reflecting lower collateral sourcing
requirements, partly offset by a net increase in cash reinvestments.
Off-balance sheet exposures increased by USD 0.6bn, mainly due to forward starting reverse repurchase
agreements, reflecting an increase in business activity, partly offset by decreases in irrevocable loan commitments
in Global Wealth Management, driven by higher utilization of credit lines.

Equity attribution
Under our equity attribution framework, tangible equity is attributed based on equally weighted average RWA and
average LRD, which both include resource allocations from our Group functions to the business divisions. Average
RWA and LRD are converted to CET1 capital equivalents using target capital ratios. If the attributed tangible equity
calculated under the weighted-driver approach is less than the CET1 capital equivalent of risk-based capital (RBC)
for any business division, the CET1 capital equivalent of RBC is used as a floor for that business division. The floor
was applicable for Non-core and Legacy in all of the periods shown below and was applicable for Asset
Management in the first nine months of 2025.
In addition to tangible equity, we allocate equity to the business divisions to support goodwill and intangible assets.
We also allocate to the business divisions attributed equity related to CET1 capital deduction items that are
attributable to divisional activities, such as compensation-related components or expected losses on the advanced
internal ratings-based portfolio less provisions. We attribute all remaining capital deduction items to Group Items.
These primarily include equity related to deferred tax assets, accruals for shareholder returns, and unrealized
gains / losses from cash flow hedges.

Liquidity and funding management
Strategy, objectives and governance
This section provides liquidity and funding management information and should be read in conjunction with the
“Liquidity and funding management” section of the UBS Group Annual Report 2025, available under “Annual
reporting” at
ubs.com/investors
, which provides more information about the Group’s strategy, objectives and
governance in connection with liquidity and funding management.
Liquidity coverage ratio
The quarterly average liquidity coverage ratio (the LCR) of the UBS Group increased 1.4 percentage points to
178.7%, remaining above the prudential requirement communicated by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory
Authority (FINMA).
Average net cash outflows decreased by USD 11.4bn to USD 181.5bn, primarily reflecting lower outflows from
customer deposits and higher net inflows from securities financing transactions, partly offset by lower inflows from
lending assets. The effect of the decrease in net cash outflows was partly offset by a USD 17.5bn decrease in
average high-quality liquid assets to USD 324.3bn,
mainly reflecting lower cash available from decreases in customer
deposits, primarily from currency effects, and in debt issued at amortized cost, partly offset by higher cash available
from lower lending assets.

Net stable funding ratio
As of 30 September 2026, the net stable funding ratio (the NSFR) of the UBS Group decreased 0.3 percentage
points to 114.8%, remaining above the prudential requirement communicated by FINMA.
Available stable funding decreased by USD 11.5bn to USD 888.8bn, mainly driven by lower debt issued at amortized
cost. Required stable funding decreased by USD 8.1bn to USD 774.4bn, mainly reflecting lower trading assets and
a decrease in lending assets, primarily from currency effects.

Balance sheet assets
30 September 2026 vs 30 June 2026
Total assets were USD 1,655.2bn as of 30 September 2026, a decrease of USD 52.1bn compared with 30 June
2026.
Cash and balances at central banks decreased by USD 19.8bn, mainly driven by outflows from repurchases and net
redemptions of long-term debt issued measured at amortized cost, as well as net maturities of short-term debt,
higher levels of lending activity, net changes in brokerage payables and receivables, and share repurchases, partly
offset by inflows resulting primarily from net roll-offs of securities financing transactions and net new customer
deposits. Securities financing transactions at amortized cost decreased by USD 12.3bn, mainly reflecting lower
collateral sourcing requirements, partly offset by a net increase in cash reinvestments.
Derivatives and cash collateral receivables on derivative instruments decreased by USD 5.6bn, primarily in the
Investment Bank, reflecting roll-offs and client-driven unwinding of trades, partly offset by market-driven increases.
Lending assets decreased by USD 4.5bn, driven by currency effects, partly offset by positive net new loans in Global
Wealth Management and Personal & Corporate Banking.

2026.
Debt issued designated at fair value and long-term debt issued measured at amortized cost decreased by
USD 13.4bn, mainly due to repurchases of legacy Credit Suisse senior debt instruments and net redemptions.
Brokerage payables decreased by USD 11.9bn, primarily reflecting lower levels of client activity, as well as higher
unit of account netting. Short-term borrowings decreased by USD 8.3bn, mainly reflecting net maturities of
commercial paper and certificates of deposit in Group Treasury, as well as lower amounts due to banks, largely in
Personal & Corporate Banking.

term and long-term is based on original contractual maturity, and therefore long-term debt also includes debt with a remaining time to maturity of less than one year. This classification does not consider any early
redemption features. 3 Includes total liabilities measured at fair value of USD 465.5bn as of 30 September 2026 (30 June 2026: USD 490.8bn, 31 December 2025: USD 414.1bn), of which USD 18.8bn (30 June

Equity
30 September 2026 vs 30 June 2026
Equity attributable to shareholders decreased by USD 552m to USD 88,613m as of 30 September 2026.
The net decrease of USD 552m was mainly driven by net treasury share activity that reduced equity by USD 1,707m,
predominantly due to the repurchasing of USD 1,807m of shares under our 2026 share repurchase programs.
This decrease was partly offset by positive total comprehensive income attributable to shareholders of USD 902m,
reflecting a net profit of USD 2,690m and negative other comprehensive income (OCI) of USD 1,789m. OCI mainly
included negative cash flow hedge OCI of USD 1,320m, negative OCI related to foreign currency translation of
USD 718m and OCI related to own credit on financial liabilities designated at fair value of USD 386m. In addition,
deferred share-based compensation awards of USD 248m were expensed in the income statement, increasing share
premium.

Share information and earnings per share
UBS Group AG shares are listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange (SIX). They are also listed on the New York Stock
Exchange (the NYSE) as global registered shares. Each share has a nominal value of USD 0.10. Shares issued were
unchanged in the third quarter of 2026 compared with the second quarter of 2026.
We held 248 million shares as of 30 September 2026, of which 149 million shares had been acquired under our
share repurchase programs for cancellation purposes. The remaining 98 million shares are primarily held to hedge
our share delivery obligations related to employee share-based compensation and participation plans.
Treasury shares held increased by 31 million shares in the third quarter of 2026. This largely reflected 34.1 million
shares repurchased under our 2026 programs.
On 28 July 2026, we concluded our first 2026 share repurchase program. Shares acquired under this program
totaled 68 million for a total acquisition cost of USD 3,000m (CHF 2,370m). The 68 million shares repurchased
under this program will be canceled by means of a capital reduction, subject to approval by the shareholders at a
future Annual General Meeting (the AGM).
On 30 July 2026, we started our second 2026 share repurchase program, under which we intend to repurchase
USD 3bn of shares by the time of the publication of our fourth-quarter 2026 results. Shares acquired under this
program totaled 29 million as of 30 September 2026 for a total acquisition cost of USD 1,506m (CHF 1,226m). The
amount and pace of share repurchases will remain subject to our short-term financial performance and outlook,
maintaining a common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio of around 14% and further visibility on the deliberations
by the Swiss Parliament on the capitalization of foreign subsidiaries.
Shares acquired under our 2025 program totaled 53 million for a total acquisition cost of USD 2,000m
(CHF 1,602m). This program concluded on 20 November 2025, and the 53 million shares repurchased under this
program will be canceled by means of a capital reduction, pending approval by the shareholders at a future AGM.

1 The weighted average shares outstanding for basic earnings per share (EPS) are calculated by taking the number of shares at the beginning of the period, adjusted by the number of shares acquired or issued during
the period, multiplied by a time-weighted factor for the period outstanding. As a result, balances are affected by the timing of acquisitions and issuances during the period. 2 The weighted average number of shares
for notional employee awards with performance conditions reflects all potentially dilutive shares that are expected to vest under the terms of the awards. 3 Based on a settlement date view. 4 Reflects potential
shares that could dilute basic EPS in the future but were not dilutive for any of the periods presented. Mainly includes equity-based awards subject to absolute and relative performance conditions and equity derivative
contracts. 5 Represents the share price as listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange, translated to US dollars using the closing exchange rate as of the respective date. 6 The calculation of market capitalization reflects
total shares issued multiplied by the share price at the end of the period.

Expected credit loss measurement
a) Changes to ECL models, scenarios and scenario weights
Scenarios and scenario weights
The expected credit loss (ECL) scenarios and scenario weights applied by UBS in the first nine months of 2026 were
in line with those applied in the UBS Group Annual Report 2025. All of the scenarios have been updated based on
the latest macroeconomic forecasts as of 30 September 2026. The current scenario suite, together with the applied
scenario weightings and the level of post-model adjustments, is deemed appropriate to sufficiently capture
prevailing macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties. The assumptions on a calendar-year basis are included in

Expected credit loss measurement (continued)
The baseline scenario was updated with the latest macroeconomic forecasts as of 30 September 2026. Global
growth and inflation forecasts reflect higher energy prices and the associated uncertainty. However, the boom in
artificial intelligence (AI) is expected to provide a meaningful offset. In the US growth is expected to be relatively
resilient, although inflation is expected to remain above target in 2026 before moving toward the target in 2027.
In the Eurozone the Middle East conflict has weakened confidence and pushed up energy prices; nevertheless,
growth has remained stronger than expected. Swiss gross domestic product (GDP) growth has also proven resilient,
supported by robust exports and domestic demand in the second quarter. Although this momentum is expected to
moderate in the coming months, the slightly negative output gap is nevertheless projected to close by year-end.
Compared with the January 2026 baseline, US GDP growth projections for 2026 were slightly revised upward,
reflecting stronger-than-expected economic performance in the first three quarters of the year, while projections
for 2027 have remained broadly unchanged. In the Eurozone the Middle East conflict has contributed to higher
inflation but has had only a moderate impact on the annual growth expectations for 2026 and 2027. In Switzerland
2026 GDP growth is expected to be higher than in the January baseline, supported by stronger-than-expected
performance in the second quarter, although inflation in 2026 is also projected to be higher. Equity forecasts for
2026 have been revised upward across developed economies, supported by strong earnings growth. Resilient
macroeconomic conditions, supportive fiscal policies and continued AI investment are expected to sustain profit
growth, particularly in the technology sector. Oil price forecasts for 2026 and 2027 have been adjusted upward to
reflect developments in the Middle East.
The downside scenario set remains unchanged, with the global trade war remaining the binding scenario and the
moderate stagflation crisis remaining the secondary downside scenario. Although the underlying narratives are
unchanged, Brent oil price shocks have been adjusted to ensure a consistent approach across the downside
scenarios.

b) ECL-relevant balance sheet and off-balance sheet positions including ECL allowances and provisions
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.
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 notional amounts.

The overall coverage ratio for performing positions increased by 1 basis point to 11 basis points as of 30 September
2026. Compared with 31 December 2025, the coverage ratio for performing positions related to real estate lending
(on-balance sheet) was unchanged at 3 basis points, and the coverage ratio for performing positions related to
corporate lending (on-balance sheet) increased by 4 basis points to 80 basis points.

b) Litigation, regulatory and similar matters
The Group 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 (which for purposes of this disclosure may refer
to UBS Group AG and/or one or more of its subsidiaries, as applicable) is involved in various disputes and legal
proceedings, including litigation, arbitration, and regulatory and criminal investigations.
UBS Group third quarter 2026 report |
Consolidated financial information | UBS Group AG interim consolidated financial information (unaudited) 65
Provisions and contingent liabilities (continued)
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 the Group 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 the Group 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. The Group
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 the Group 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 the Group, but are nevertheless expected to be, based on the Group’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 the financial information, 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 information 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 the Group 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. For additional disclosures relating to risks that may result in litigation, regulatory or similar
matters disclosed in this section, refer to the “Risk factors” section of the UBS Group Annual Report 2025.
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 part a) 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 (including acquisition-related contingent liabilities established under IFRS 3 in connection with
the acquisition of Credit Suisse), are in the range of USD 0bn to USD 1.1bn.
UBS Group third quarter 2026 report |
Consolidated financial information | UBS Group AG interim consolidated financial information (unaudited) 66
Provisions and contingent liabilities (continued)
Litigation, regulatory and similar matters may also result in non-monetary penalties and consequences. Certain
resolutions or convictions 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.
In May 2025, Credit Suisse Services AG entered into a plea agreement with the DOJ relating to legacy Credit Suisse
accounts booked in Credit Suisse’s Swiss booking center and a non-prosecution agreement relating to legacy Credit
Suisse accounts booked in Credit Suisse’s Singapore booking center. These agreements include ongoing obligations
of UBS to provide information and cooperate with the DOJ.
The amounts shown in the table below reflect the provisions recorded under IFRS Accounting Standards. In
connection with the acquisition of Credit Suisse, UBS Group AG additionally has reflected in its purchase accounting
under IFRS 3 a valuation adjustment reflecting an estimate of outflows relating to contingent liabilities for all present
obligations included in the scope of the acquisition at fair value upon closing, even if it is not probable that the
contingent liability will result in an outflow of resources, significantly decreasing the recognition threshold for
litigation liabilities beyond those that generally apply under IFRS Accounting Standards. The IFRS 3 acquisition-
related contingent liabilities of USD 0.3bn at 30 September 2026 reflect a decrease of USD 0.2bn from
31 December 2025 mainly as a result of reclassifications to provisions under IAS 37 and releases upon the resolution
of the relevant matters.

1. Madoff
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 were 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 served 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.

Provisions and contingent liabilities (continued)
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.
2. Foreign exchange, LIBOR and benchmark rates, and other trading practices
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 the defendant banks. While many of these cases have concluded, UBS and Credit Suisse
continue to defend against several remaining matters. In one such case, Credit Suisse and UBS have entered into
agreements to settle all claims in a putative class action in Israel. Credit Suisse’s settlement received court approval
and is final. UBS’s settlement remains subject to court approval.
LIBOR and other benchmark-related civil litigation:
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 alleged 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.
More specifically, 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) relating to various transactions that referenced
USD LIBOR. Following various rulings, one class action with respect to transactions in over-the-counter instruments
and several actions brought by individual plaintiffs proceeded. In September 2025, the district court granted
defendants’ motion for summary judgment as to all remaining actions. Plaintiffs have appealed.
The Yen LIBOR/Euroyen TIBOR and EURIBOR actions have been dismissed. The 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.
The CHF and GBP LIBOR actions have concluded.
Credit default swap auction litigation:
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. In September 2026, the US District Court for the District of New Mexico
granted in part defendants’ motion for judgment on the pleadings; plaintiffs can file an amended complaint.
With respect to additional matters and jurisdictions not encompassed by the settlements and orders referred to
above, UBS’s balance sheet at 30 September 2026 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.

3. Mortgage-related matters
Credit Suisse affiliates are defendants in various civil litigation matters related to their roles as issuer, sponsor,
depositor, underwriter and/or servicer of RMBS transactions. These cases currently include repurchase actions by
RMBS trusts and/or trustees, in which plaintiffs generally allege breached representations and warranties in respect
of mortgage loans and failure to repurchase such mortgage loans as required under the applicable agreements.
In October 2026, the parties agreed to resolve all remaining actions including Asset Backed Securities Corporation
Home Equity Loan Trust, Series 2006-HE7, Home Equity Asset Trust, 2006-8, Home Equity Asset Trust 2007-2, and
CSMC Asset-Backed Trust 2007-NC1. The resolutions remain subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions,
including court approval.
4. ATA litigation
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; the matter has concluded. Of the other seven cases, plaintiffs voluntarily
dismissed one case in September 2026, four are stayed, and the EDNY dismissed two of these cases in April 2026;
the April dismissals may be appealed by plaintiffs.
5. Customer account matters
Several clients have alleged that a former relationship manager in Switzerland exceeded his investment authority,
resulting in excessive concentrations of certain exposures and investment losses. Following investigations and
criminal complaints, in February 2018, the former relationship manager was sentenced to five years in prison by
the Geneva criminal court and ordered to pay damages of approximately USD 130m, a decision upheld on appeal.
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 2024 in a now-concluded civil lawsuit, Credit Suisse Trust Limited was ordered to pay USD 461m,
including interest and costs.
In Bermuda, in November 2025, the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council issued its final judgment on the appeal,
denying Credit Suisse Life (Bermuda) Ltd.’s appeal on liability, but partially granting its appeal concerning the
quantum of damages and directing the parties to recalculate damages.
In Switzerland, certain civil lawsuits have been commenced against Credit Suisse AG and UBS AG (as the successor
of Credit Suisse AG) in the Court of First Instance of Geneva since March 2023.
6. ETN-related 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 assert 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.

7. Credit Suisse anti-money laundering matters
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 Chamber of Appeals of the
Swiss Federal Criminal Court (Chamber of Appeals). Following the merger of UBS AG and Credit Suisse AG, UBS AG
confirmed the appeal. In November 2024, the Chamber of Appeals acquitted UBS AG and annulled the fine and
compensatory claim ordered by the first instance court. Subsequently, the Office of the Attorney General has
appealed the judgment to the Swiss Federal Supreme Court. UBS has also appealed, limited to the issue of whether
a successor entity by merger can be criminally liable for acts of the predecessor entity. In July 2025, the Swiss Federal
Supreme Court remanded the case back to the Chamber of Appeals for a full and reasoned judgment. In March
2026, the Chamber of Appeals issued a judgment again acquitting UBS AG. This judgment may be appealed by
the parties to the Swiss Federal Supreme Court. Separately, in November 2025, the Swiss Office of the Attorney
General filed criminal charges against UBS Group and UBS AG, as the successors to Credit Suisse Group AG and
Credit Suisse AG, respectively, alleging that Credit Suisse failed to maintain appropriate controls to detect and
prevent money laundering in connection with certain payments from accounts at Credit Suisse by parties associated
with Mozambique state enterprises for which Credit Suisse arranged loan financing between 2013 and 2016. In
April 2026, the court dismissed the proceedings, finding criminal liability could not be transferred from Credit Suisse
Group AG and Credit Suisse AG to UBS Group AG and UBS AG. The Attorney General has appealed.
8. Credit Suisse financial disclosures
Credit Suisse Group AG and certain directors, officers and executives have been named in securities class action
complaints pending in the SDNY. These complaints, filed since 2023 on behalf of purchasers of Credit Suisse shares,
additional tier 1 capital notes, and other securities, allege that defendants made misleading statements regarding:
(i) customer outflows in late 2022 and early 2023; (ii) the adequacy of Credit Suisse’s financial reporting controls;
and (iii) the adequacy of Credit Suisse’s risk management processes, and include allegations relating to Credit Suisse
Group AG’s merger with UBS Group AG. As of November 2025, the SDNY certified classes in two cases.

Significant regulated subsidiary and sub-group information 71
UBS Group AG is a holding company and conducts substantially all of its operations through UBS AG and
subsidiaries thereof. UBS Group AG and UBS AG have contributed a significant portion of their respective capital
to, and provide substantial liquidity to, such subsidiaries. Many of these subsidiaries are subject to regulations
requiring compliance with minimum capital, liquidity and similar requirements. The tables in this section summarize
the regulatory capital components and capital ratios of our significant regulated subsidiaries and sub-groups
determined under the regulatory framework of the home jurisdiction of each subsidiary or sub-group.
Supervisory authorities generally have discretion to impose higher requirements or to otherwise limit the activities
of subsidiaries. Supervisory authorities also may require entities to measure capital and leverage ratios on a stressed
basis and may limit the ability of an entity to engage in new activities or take capital actions based on the results of
those tests.

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. 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. The table below indicates where an APM also qualifies as a non-GAAP measure as
defined by US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations. A definition of each APM, and non-GAAP
measure as applicable, the method used to calculate it and the information content are presented in alphabetical
order in the table below.

UBS Group third quarter 2026 report |
Appendix 80
Cautionary statement regarding forward-looking statements |
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 armed conflicts. UBS’s acquisition of the Credit Suisse Group
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. In response to the failure of Credit Suisse, Switzerland
has amended its Capital Adequacy Ordinance and is considering changes to its Banking Act, which, if enacted as proposed, would substantially increase capital
requirements for UBS in relation to its foreign subsidiaries. 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 additional tier
one debt instruments, 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 2025. 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.
