In the second quarter of 2026, UBS AG consolidated earned net profit of USD 2,224m, compared with 2,811m at the UBS Group consolidated level, mainly due to purchase price allocation effects from the 2023 Credit Suisse acquisition and service markups from UBS Business Solutions subsidiaries. From 2026, UBS provides full IAS 34 interim financial statements semi-annually, with first- and third-quarter reports prepared under its accounting policies but with fewer disclosures.
