Insights
Standalone profit surged on subsidiary dividends and credit loss releases.
UBS AG’s standalone net profit rose to USD 9,149m, driven by higher dividend income from key subsidiaries and a swing to a USD 535m net credit loss release. Operating profit more than quadrupled to USD 8,501m, despite still‑negative net interest income.
Litigation and similar provision charges fell sharply to USD 323m from USD 1,078m, while personnel and general expenses stayed elevated, reflecting ongoing integration and shared services costs. The bank paid USD 13,000m in ordinary and supplementary dividends, reducing equity to USD 80,457m but keeping a sizeable capital base against USD 792,341m of assets.

Off-balance sheet items
Contingent liabilities include indemnities and guarantees issued by UBS AG for the benefit of subsidiaries and creditors
of subsidiaries.
Where the indemnity amount issued by UBS AG is not specifically defined, the indemnity relates to the solvency or
minimum capitalization of a subsidiary, and therefore no amount is included in the table above.
Joint and several liability – value-added tax
UBS AG is jointly and severally liable for the combined value-added tax (
VAT
) liability of UBS entities that belong to the
VAT group of UBS in Switzerland. This contingent liability is not included in the table above.
Guarantees – UBS Europe SE
Following the combined UK business transfer and cross-border merger of UBS Limited into UBS Europe SE in March 2019,
UBS AG issued a guarantee for the benefit of counterparties of UBS Europe SE’s investment banking business, covering
transactions subject to master netting agreements.
A similar guarantee that UBS AG issued in 2003 for the benefit of each counterparty of UBS Limited also continues to be
effective. This guarantee covers transactions in accordance with and contemplated under any agreement entered into by
UBS Limited prior to the merger into UBS Europe SE, to the extent that such an agreement has not been amended by
UBS Europe SE thereafter.
Under both guarantees, UBS AG promises to pay to the beneficiary counterparties any unpaid liabilities covered under
the terms of the guarantees on demand. These guarantees are included as contingent liabilities in the off-balance sheet
items table above.
Indemnities – UBS Europe SE
In connection with the establishing of UBS Europe SE in 2016, UBS AG entered into agreements with UBS Europe SE
under which UBS AG would provide UBS Europe SE with limited indemnification of payment obligations that may arise
from certain litigation, regulatory and similar matters.
As of 31 December 2025, the amount of such potential payment obligations could not be reliably estimated and the
likelihood of an outflow is not considered to be probable or the probability of an outflow was assessed to be remote;
therefore, the table above does not include any amount related to this limited indemnification.
In addition, in accordance with the bylaws of the Deposit Protection Fund of the Association of German Banks, UBS AG
issued an indemnity in favor of this fund on behalf of UBS Europe SE. The probability of an outflow was assessed to be
remote, and as a result, the table above does not include any exposure arising under this indemnity.

consolidated financial statements of UBS AG included in the UBS AG Annual Report 2025. Major differences between
the Swiss GAAP requirements and IFRS Accounting Standards are described in Note 32 to the consolidated financial
statements of UBS AG. The significant accounting policies applied for the standalone financial statements of UBS AG are
discussed below.

Foreign currency translation
Non-US-dollar-denominated transactions are translated into US dollars at the spot exchange rate on the date of the
transaction. At the balance sheet date, all non-US-dollar-denominated monetary assets and liabilities, as well as non-US-
dollar-denominated equity instruments recorded in
Trading portfolio assets
Financial investments
, are translated into
US dollars using the closing exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historic cost are translated at the spot
exchange rate on the date of the transaction. Assets and liabilities of branches with functional currencies other than the
US dollar are translated into US dollars at the closing exchange rate. Income and expense items of such branches are
translated at weighted-average exchange rates for the period. All currency translation effects are recognized in the
income statement.

Note 2 Accounting policies (continued)
Presentation currencies
The primary presentation currency of the financial statements of UBS AG is the US dollar. Amounts in Swiss francs are
additionally presented for each component of the financial statements.
As of 1 January 2025, UBS AG has prospectively adopted the closing rate method for presenting US dollar amounts in
Swiss francs. Under this method, all assets, liabilities and equity positions, as well as income and expense items and other
movements, are translated at the closing rate. For movement tables, such as the statement of changes in equity, the
opening balance is remeasured at the closing rate, with the resulting currency translation effect presented in a separate
row or column as
Effect of translating opening balance at closing rate
.
In the comparative period, UBS AG applied the modified closing rate method for converting the US dollar presentation
currency amounts into Swiss francs: assets and liabilities were converted at the closing rate, equity positions at historic
rates and income and expense items at the weighted-average rate for the period. The resulting currency translation
effects were recognized separately in
Voluntary earnings reserve
.
UBS AG has updated the accounting policy as it provides a more current and more relevant presentation of the Swiss
franc equivalents of the underlying US dollar amounts. The change in the accounting policy had no impact on the
amounts presented in the primary presentation currency, the US dollar.

Structured debt instruments
Structured debt instruments consist of debt instruments issued and transacted over the counter and include a host
contract and one or more embedded derivatives that do not relate to UBS AG’s own equity. By applying the fair value
option, the vast majority of structured debt instruments are measured at fair value as a whole and recognized in
liabilities designated at fair value
. The fair value option for structured debt instruments can be applied only if the following
criteria are cumulatively met:
–
the structured debt instrument is measured on a fair value basis and is subject to risk management that is equivalent
to risk management for trading activities;
–
the application of the fair value option eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would
otherwise arise; and
–
changes in fair value attributable to changes in unrealized own credit are not recognized.
Fair value changes related to
Financial liabilities designated at fair value
, excluding changes in unrealized own credit, are
recognized in
Net trading income
. Interest expense on
Financial liabilities designated at fair value
Interest
expense
.
Where the designation criteria for the fair value option are not met, the embedded derivatives are assessed for bifurcation
for measurement purposes. Bifurcated embedded derivatives are measured at fair value through profit or loss and
presented in the same balance sheet line as the host contract.

Investments in subsidiaries and other participations
Investments in subsidiaries and other participations
or for other strategic purposes. They include all subsidiaries directly held by UBS AG through which UBS AG conducts its
business on a global basis. The investments are measured individually and carried at cost less impairment. The carrying
amount is tested for impairment when indicators of a potential decrease in value exist, which include significant operating
losses incurred or a severe depreciation of the currency in which the investment is denominated. If an investment in a
subsidiary is impaired, its value is generally written down to the net asset value or a value above the net asset value if, in
the opinion of management, forecasts of future profitability provide sufficient evidence that a carrying amount above net
assets is supported. Subsequent recoveries in value are recognized up to the original cost value based on either an
increased net asset value or a value above the net asset value if aforementioned conditions are met. Management may
exercise its discretion as to what extent, and in which period, a recovery in value is recognized. Impairments of investments

Hedge accounting for Investments in subsidiaries and other participations
UBS AG applies hedge accounting for certain investments in subsidiaries and other participations denominated in
currencies other than the US dollar, which are designated as hedged items. For this purpose, foreign exchange (FX)
derivatives, mainly FX forwards and FX swaps, are used and designated as hedging instruments.
The hedged risk is determined as the change in the carrying amount of the hedged item arising solely from changes in
spot FX rates. Consequently, UBS AG only designates the spot element of the FX derivatives as hedging instruments.
Changes in the fair value of the hedging instruments attributable to changes in forward points are not part of a hedge
accounting designation. These amounts, therefore, do not form part of the effectiveness assessment and are recognized
in
Net trading income
.
The effective portion of gains and losses of these FX derivatives is deferred on the balance sheet as

Note 2 Accounting policies (continued)
Post-employment benefit plans
Swiss GAAP permit the use of IFRS Accounting Standards or Swiss accounting standards for post-employment benefit
plans, with the election made on a plan-by-plan basis.
UBS AG has elected to apply Swiss accounting standards for the Swiss pension plans in its standalone financial statements.
The requirements of the Swiss accounting standards are better aligned with the specific nature of Swiss pension plans,
which are hybrid in that they combine elements of defined contribution and defined benefit plans but are treated as
defined benefit plans under IFRS Accounting Standards. Swiss accounting standards require that the employer
contributions to the pension fund are recognized as
Personnel expenses
contributions to the Swiss pension fund are determined as a percentage of contributory compensation. Furthermore,
Swiss accounting standards require an assessment as to whether, based on the financial statements of the pension funds
prepared in accordance with Swiss accounting standards (Swiss GAAP FER 26), an economic benefit to, or obligation of,
UBS AG arises from the pension funds that is recognized in the balance sheet when conditions are met. Conditions for
recording a pension asset or liability would be met if, for example, an employer contribution reserve was available or
UBS AG was required to contribute to the reduction of a pension deficit (on the pension plan’s Swiss GAAP FER 26 basis).
Key differences between Swiss accounting standards and IFRS Accounting Standards include the treatment of dynamic
elements, such as future salary increases and future interest credits on retirement savings, which are not considered under
the static method used in accordance with Swiss accounting standards. Also, the discount rate used to determine the
defined benefit obligation in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards is based on the yield of high-quality corporate
bonds of the market in the respective pension plan country. The discount rate used in accordance with Swiss accounting
standards, i.e. the technical interest rate, is determined by the Pension Foundation Boards.
›
Refer to Note 23 for more information
UBS AG has elected to apply IFRS Accounting Standards (IAS 19) for its non-Swiss defined benefit plans. However,
remeasurements of the defined benefit obligation and the plan assets are recognized in the income statement rather
than directly in equity.

Deferred taxes
Deferred tax assets are not recognized in UBS AG’s standalone financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities may
be recognized for taxable temporary differences. Changes in the deferred tax liability balance are recognized in the
income statement.
Allowances and provisions for expected credit losses
UBS AG is required to apply expected credit loss (ECL) approaches for credit-impaired and non-credit-impaired financial
instruments in its standalone financial statements.
For the substantial majority of non-credit-impaired exposures within the scope of the Swiss GAAP ECL requirements,
UBS AG has chosen to apply the IFRS Accounting Standards ECL approach, which is also applied in its consolidated
financial statements. These exposures include all financial assets that are measured at amortized cost under both
frameworks, Swiss GAAP and IFRS Accounting Standards, fee and lease receivables, claims arising from Group-internal
funding presented as
Funding provided to significant regulated subsidiaries eligible as total loss-absorbing capacity
,
guarantees, irrevocable loan commitments, revolving revocable credit lines, and forward starting reverse repurchase and
securities borrowing agreements. Further information about the ECL approach under IFRS Accounting Standards is
provided in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements of UBS AG.
›
Refer to the “Consolidated financial statements” section of the UBS AG Annual Report 2025, available under “Annual reporting”
at
ubs.com/investors
, for more information
For the small residual population of exposures within the scope of the Swiss GAAP ECL requirements, which are not
subject to ECL under IFRS Accounting Standards due to classification differences, alternative approaches are applied.
–
For exposures for which Pillar 1 internal ratings-based models are applied for measurement of credit risk risk-weighted
assets (RWA), ECL for such exposures is calculated as the regulatory expected loss (EL), with an add-on to scale up to
the residual maturity of exposures maturing beyond the next 12 months. This approach is mainly applied for brokerage
receivables presented within
Due from customers
, which
generally mature within 12 months. For detailed information
about regulatory EL, refer to the “Risk management and control” section of the UBS AG Annual Report 2025.
–
For exposures for which the standardized approach is applied for the measurement of credit risk RWA, ECL is
determined using a portfolio approach that derives a conservative probability of default (PD) and a conservative loss
given default (LGD) for the entire portfolio. This approach is mainly applied for a small number of loans to large
corporate clients presented within
Due from customers

Transfer of Global Wealth Management International and Global Financial Intermediaries businesses
In 2025, UBS decided to consolidate the Wealth Management International business, the Global Financial Intermediaries
business, and other related businesses booked in Switzerland in UBS AG to further optimize Group legal and operational
structures and to address regulatory considerations.
In the second quarter of 2025, UBS Switzerland AG transferred the beneficial ownership of the Wealth Management
International business and the Global Financial Intermediaries business booked in UBS Switzerland AG to UBS AG, with
effect from 1 January 2025. The transfer was made in the form of a dividend in kind amounting to USD 126m
(CHF 100m), reflecting the net asset value of the in-scope businesses. In the fourth quarter of 2025, UBS Switzerland AG
transferred the beneficial ownership of the related businesses to UBS AG, with effect from 1 May 2025. The transfer was
made in the form of a dividend in kind amounting to USD 1,261 (CHF 1,000), reflecting the net asset value of the in-
scope businesses.
UBS Switzerland AG will continue to manage the businesses under a contractual relationship with UBS AG until the
completion of legal transfer, which is expected to take place in 2028, and will continue to recognize the underlying assets
and liabilities of the relevant businesses until then. UBS AG’s share of the net profits of USD 695m (CHF 551m) for the

application of IFRS Accounting Standards, own credit adjustment curves (USD –537m (CHF –452m)) and smaller
adjustments related to the classification of certain debt instruments at fair value compared to a legacy Credit Suisse AG
amortized cost treatment, and full expense recognition of certain loan origination costs and fees at inception, which were
previously deferred and recognized over time by Credit Suisse AG. These effects were partly reduced by the effects of
electing the fair value option for certain structured TLAC instruments under UBS AG’s accounting policies (USD 513m
(CHF 432m)), and smaller adjustments related to the measurement of real estate and the recognition of net defined
benefit assets.

A net income tax expense of USD 232m (CHF 184m) was recognized for UBS AG in 2025, compared with USD 461m
(CHF 416m) for 2024. The income tax expense for 2025 was reduced by a benefit of USD 62m (CHF 49m) in respect of
the utilization of tax losses carried forward, primarily in Jersey and Singapore.
The income tax expense for 2024 was reduced by a benefit of USD 36m (CHF 32m) in respect of the utilization of tax
losses carried forward, primarily in Jersey and Singapore.
The income tax expenses for 2025 and 2024 related to UBS AG’s taxable profits that are not offset by tax losses carried
forward.
For 2025, the average tax rate, defined as net income tax expense divided by the sum of operating profit and
extraordinary income minus extraordinary expenses and capital tax, was 2.5% (2024: 8.2%). This reflected the
aforementioned benefit in respect of the utilization of tax losses carried forward and also that no tax expense was
recognized in respect of dividends that UBS AG received from its subsidiaries.

Note 13 Allowances and provisions
Allowances and provisions of USD 2,817m (CHF 2,233m) as of 31 December 2025 included allowances and provisions
for credit losses of USD 1,221m (CHF 968m). Allowances and provisions of as of 31 December 2024 included allowances
and provisions for credit losses of USD 1,896m (CHF 1,722m).
The decrease in allowances and provisions for credit losses in 2025 of USD 676m (CHF 536m) included net credit loss
releases of USD 535m (CHF 424m) recognized in the income statement, primarily related to credit-impaired positions.
Additionally, there were USD 140m (CHF 111m) in other allowance and provision movements without credit loss
expenses/ releases impact, mainly from write-offs and other movements that did not affect the credit loss expenses/
releases in the income statement.

a capital injection and a related impairment recognized in

Note 19 Country risk of total assets
The table below provides a breakdown of total non-Swiss assets by credit rating, after netting of assets and liabilities as
recognized on the balance sheet but before other risk mitigants. The credit ratings reflect the sovereign credit rating of
the country to which the ultimate risk of the underlying asset is related. The ultimate country of risk for unsecured loan
positions is the domicile of the immediate borrower or, in the case of a legal entity, the domicile of the ultimate parent
entity. For collateralized or guaranteed positions, the ultimate country of risk is the domicile of the provider of the
collateral or guarantor or, if applicable, the domicile of the ultimate parent entity of the provider of the collateral or
guarantor. For mortgage loans, the ultimate country of risk is the country where the real estate is located. Similarly, the
ultimate country of risk for property and equipment is the country where the property and equipment are located. Assets
for which Switzerland is the ultimate country of risk are provided separately at the bottom of the table in order to provide
a reconciliation to total balance sheet assets.

1 The pension plan surplus is determined in accordance with Swiss GAAP (FER 26) and consists of the reserve for the fluctuation in asset value and a prepaid contribution. The reserve for the fluctuation did not
represent an economic benefit for UBS AG in accordance with Swiss accounting standards as of both 31 December 2025 and 31 December 2024.
UBS AG has elected to apply Swiss accounting standards for its Swiss pension plan and IFRS Accounting Standards (IAS
19) for its non-Swiss defined benefit plans. However, remeasurements of the defined benefit obligations and assets for
non-Swiss defined benefit plans are recognized in the income statement rather than directly in equity.
In 2025, an expense of USD 255m (CHF 202m) was recognized in the income statement, driven by expenses of USD 136m
(CHF 108m) related to defined contribution plans and USD 119m (CHF 94m) related to defined benefit plans. In 2024,
an expense of USD 277m (CHF 243m) was recognized in the income statement, driven by expenses of USD 130m
(CHF 116m) related to defined contribution plans and USD 148m (CHF 127m) related to defined benefit plans.
In 2025, as part of the process of winding down Credit Suisse International, Credit Suisse International transferred its UK
pension scheme to UBS AG via dividend in kind, with UBS AG becoming the new principal employer of the former Credit
Suisse International UK pension scheme.
The Swiss pension plans had an employer contribution reserve of USD 8m as of 31 December 2025 and USD 6m as of
31 December 2024.

capital increased by USD 0.7bn to USD 74.1bn, mainly reflecting operating profit before tax of USD 1.6bn, partly offset
by additional accruals for capital returns to UBS Group AG of USD 1.0bn. As of 31 December 2025, accruals for capital
returns to UBS Group AG amounted to USD 9.0bn, reflecting a proposed ordinary dividend distribution of USD 4.5bn
and the appropriation of USD 4.5bn to a special dividend reserve, both subject to approval at the Annual General Meeting
in the second quarter of 2026. The decision on the distribution of the special dividend is intended to be made at an
Extraordinary General Meeting in the second half of 2026 and is subject to UBS AG meeting its capital requirements on
a standalone and consolidated level, as well as the outcome and timing of the implementation of the new regulatory
regime in Switzerland.
Additional tier 1 (AT1) capital issued by the Group and on lent to UBS AG decreased by USD 0.4bn to USD 19.6bn, mainly
reflecting the call of one AT1 capital instrument equivalent to USD 0.4bn that was on lent from the Group.
Risk-weighted assets (RWA) decreased by USD 26.3bn to USD 491.6bn during the fourth quarter of 2025, primarily driven
by lower RWA on investments in subsidiaries following capital repatriations, and decreases in credit and counterparty
credit risk RWA, as well as market risk RWA. This was partly offset by an increase in operational risk RWA, mainly due to
the higher business indicator component.
The leverage ratio denominator (the LRD) decreased by USD 22.1bn to USD 930.0bn, driven by a USD 20.9bn decrease
from asset size and other movements and a USD 1.3bn decrease from currency effects. The change in asset size and
other movements was mainly due to capital repatriations reducing investments in subsidiaries, lower lending balances,
and disposals of high-quality liquid asset (HQLA) portfolio securities and trading assets, along with lower securities
financing transactions and derivative exposures, partly offset by increases in cash and balances at central banks and off-
balance sheet items.
Correspondingly, the CET1 capital ratio of UBS AG standalone increased to 15.1% from 14.2%, reflecting the
aforementioned decrease in RWA and the aforementioned increase in CET1 capital. The firm’s Basel III leverage ratio
increased to 10.1% from 9.8%, reflecting the aforementioned decrease in the LRD and the aforementioned increase in
tier 1 capital.
The quarterly average liquidity coverage ratio (the LCR) of UBS AG standalone decreased 6.0 percentage points to
234.9%, remaining above the prudential requirement communicated by FINMA. The movement in the quarterly average
LCR was primarily driven by a decrease in average HQLA of USD 13.2bn to USD 149.3bn, mainly reflecting lower cash
available due to lower customer deposits and higher funding to subsidiaries. Average net cash outflows decreased by
USD 3.9bn to USD 63.7bn, mainly reflecting higher inflows from intercompany loans.
As of 31 December 2025, the net stable funding ratio decreased 5.5 percentage points to 90.7%, remaining above the
prudential requirement communicated by FINMA. Available stable funding decreased by USD 14.2bn to USD 404.8bn,
mainly driven by decreases in debt issued measured at amortized cost and intercompany deposits. Required stable funding
increased by USD 10.9bn to USD 446.5bn, mainly reflecting higher intercompany funding to subsidiaries, partly offset by
a decrease in investments in subsidiaries due to capital repatriations.

central bank reserves for UBS. 7 The higher of capital requirements based on 8% of RWA or 3% of LRD. 8 Calculated after the application of haircuts and inflow and outflow rates, as well as, where applicable,
caps on Level 2 assets and cash inflows. Calculated based on an average of 64 data points in the fourth quarter of 2025 and 65 data points in the third quarter of 2025. For the prior-quarter data points, refer to the
respective Pillar 3 Report, available under “Pillar 3 disclosures” at ubs.com/investors, for more information. 9 In accordance with Art. 17h para. 3 and 4 of the Liquidity Ordinance, UBS AG standalone is required to
maintain a minimum NSFR of at least 80% without taking into account excess funding of UBS Switzerland AG and 100% after taking into account such excess funding.
Swiss systemically relevant bank going and gone concern requirements and information
UBS AG standalone is considered a systemically relevant bank (an SRB) under Swiss banking law and is subject to capital
regulations on a standalone basis.
The going concern requirements include the FINMA Pillar 2 add-on related to the supply chain finance funds matter at
Credit Suisse. This Pillar 2 add-on results in an additional CET1 capital ratio requirement of 2 basis points and an additional
CET1 leverage ratio requirement of 1 basis point as of 31 December 2025.
Effective 1 January 2025, a Pillar 2 capital add-on for residual exposures (after collateral mitigation) to hedge funds,
private equity and family offices has been introduced. This resulted in an increase as of 31 December 2025 of 18 basis
points in the RWA phase-in-based going concern capital requirement and 17 basis points in the RWA fully applied-based
going concern capital requirement.
The capital requirements based on RWA include a minimum CET1 capital requirement of 10.27%, including a
countercyclical buffer of 0.12% and the Pillar 2 add-ons, and a total going concern capital requirement of 14.62%,
including a countercyclical buffer of 0.12% and the Pillar 2 add-ons. The capital requirements based on the LRD include
a minimum CET1 capital requirement of 3.51% and a total going concern leverage ratio requirement of 5.01%.
CET1 capital and high-trigger AT1 capital instruments are eligible as going concern capital.
UBS AG standalone regulatory information
UBS AG standalone is subject to a gone concern capital requirement based on the sum of: (i) the nominal value of the
gone concern instruments issued by UBS entities and held by the parent firm; (ii) 75% of the going concern capital
requirements resulting from third-party exposure on a standalone basis; and (iii) a buffer requirement equal to 30% of
the Group’s gone concern capital requirement on UBS AG’s consolidated exposure. The gone concern capital requirement
is the higher of RWA- and LRD-based requirements, calculated separately. The gone concern capital coverage ratio reflects
how much gone concern capital is available to meet the gone concern requirement. Outstanding total loss-absorbing
capacity-eligible unsecured debt instruments are eligible to meet gone concern requirements until one year before
maturity.

1 Fully applied relates to participation RWA. Direct and indirect investments including holding of regulatory capital instruments in Switzerland-domiciled subsidiaries and for direct and indirect investments including
holding of regulatory capital instruments in foreign-domiciled subsidiaries were risk weighted at 235% and 340%, respectively, for 2025. As per current rules, risk weights will gradually increase by 5 percentage
points per year for Switzerland-domiciled investments and 20 percentage points per year for foreign-domiciled investments until the fully applied risk weights of 250% and 400%, respectively, are applied. 2 Includes
applicable add-ons of 1.64% for risk-weighted assets (RWA, phase-in), 1.63% for risk-weighted assets (RWA, fully applied) and 0.51% for leverage ratio denominator (LRD), of which 2 basis points for RWA phase-
in, 2 basis points for RWA fully applied and 1 basis point for LRD reflect a Pillar 2 capital add-on of USD 107m related to the supply chain finance funds matter at Credit Suisse. An additional 18 basis points for RWA
phase-in and 17 basis points for RWA fully applied reflect 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.
3 Includes the Pillar 2 add-on for the residual exposure (after collateral mitigation) to hedge funds, private equity and family offices of 0.13% for CET1 capital and 0.05% for AT1 capital for RWA phase-in and 0.12%
for CET1 capital and 0.05% for AT1 capital for RWA fully applied, 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; 4.35% for RWA phase-in and 4.35% for RWA fully applied include the aforementioned Pillar 2 capital add-on. 4 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. 5 Reflects 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 tier 2 capital.

FAQ
How much standalone net profit did UBS AG (AMUB) report for 2025?
UBS AG reported standalone net profit of USD 9,149m for 2025, up from USD 5,138m in 2024. The increase was driven by higher fee income, strong dividends from subsidiaries and a significant net release of credit loss allowances.
What was UBS AG’s total operating income and expenses in 2025?
Total operating income reached USD 25,548m in 2025, while total operating expenses were USD 17,048m. Higher fee and trading income, plus dividend income from subsidiaries, outweighed personnel, administrative and impairment costs, resulting in much stronger operating profitability than in 2024.
How did credit loss allowances affect UBS AG (AMUB) results in 2025?
UBS AG recorded a USD 535m net credit loss release in 2025, compared with a USD 206m expense in 2024. This mainly reflected improvements on credit‑impaired positions and releases related to a loan to a subsidiary, supporting the year’s higher net profit.
What dividend distributions did UBS AG make based on 2024 earnings?
In 2025, UBS AG distributed a total of USD 13,000m of dividends based on 2024 results, split equally between an ordinary dividend and a supplementary dividend. Both were paid out of the voluntary earnings reserve, materially reducing that reserve during the year.
What were UBS AG’s total assets and equity at year-end 2025?
At 31 December 2025, UBS AG reported total assets of USD 792,341m and total equity of USD 80,457m. The balance sheet is dominated by customer loans, trading portfolios and funding to subsidiaries, funded mainly by customer deposits, market instruments and group funding.
How did provisions for litigation and similar matters change in 2025?
Expenses from provisions for litigation, regulatory and similar matters, and other provisions were USD 323m in 2025, down from USD 1,078m in 2024. This reduction lowered total operating expenses and contributed to the improvement in UBS AG’s standalone profitability.
