Insights
UBS AG’s Q1 shows strong rebound with solid capital and liquidity.
UBS AG delivered much higher profitability in Q1 2026, with net profit attributable to shareholders of $2,500m and net profit growth of 143.2%. Revenues increased to $14,030m, while the cost/income ratio improved to 76.8%, signaling better operating efficiency.
Asset quality remained robust, with total credit loss expense of only $64m and coverage ratios on core loan portfolios largely stable. The bank’s capital stack is strong: the common equity tier 1 ratio stood at 14.2% and total loss-absorbing capacity ratio at 38.4%, well above Swiss SRB requirements.
Liquidity metrics were also conservative, with a liquidity coverage ratio of 172.4% and net stable funding ratio of 116.1%. Differences versus UBS Group results mainly reflect purchase price allocation effects and intra-group exposures after the Credit Suisse acquisition, which are clearly quantified, giving investors visibility into the subsidiary’s standalone position.

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 UBS AG, 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.

Comparison between UBS AG consolidated and UBS Group AG consolidated
This report should be read in conjunction with the UBS Group first quarter 2026 report that was published on
29 April 2026 and is available under “Quarterly reporting” at
ubs.com/investors
. A comparison of selected financial
and capital information of UBS AG consolidated and of UBS Group AG consolidated is provided in the Introduction
section of this report.
Quarterly reporting change
Starting from the first quarter of 2026, UBS AG will no longer publish interim financial reports prepared in
accordance with IAS 34,
Interim Financial Reporting
, for the first and third quarters. Instead, UBS AG will publish
financial information that is prepared in accordance with UBS AG accounting policies, which are consistent with
IFRS Accounting Standards, but does not include all notes as required under IAS 34 and therefore does not
constitute an “interim financial report”, as defined by IAS 34. This change is intended to improve efficiency, while
maintaining a high level of transparency for investors.
As a result, the section previously titled “Consolidated financial statements” has been renamed “Consolidated
financial information”, and the scope of the disclosures has been amended. The income statement and the
statement of comprehensive income, and related information, are presented for 31 March 2026 and 31 March
2025 on a year-to-date basis. The balance sheet and related information are presented as of 31 March 2026 and
31 December 2025.
Starting from the first half of 2026, UBS AG will publish a half-year interim financial report prepared in accordance
with IAS 34 as of and for the six-month period ending 30 June.

the Credit Suisse Group in 2023. The merger of UBS AG and Credit Suisse AG on 31 May 2024 has been accounted
for as a business combination under common control, as defined in IFRS 3, using the historic carrying values of the
assets and liabilities of Credit Suisse AG as at the date of the transaction (31 May 2024), determined under IFRS
Accounting Standards. Therefore, differences exist between the accounting treatments applied at the UBS Group

Comparison between UBS AG consolidated and UBS
Group AG consolidated
The table below provides a comparison of selected financial and capital information of UBS AG consolidated and
of UBS Group AG consolidated.
Assets, liabilities, revenues, operating expenses and tax expenses / (benefits) relating to UBS Group AG and its
directly held subsidiaries, including UBS Business Solutions AG, are reflected in the consolidated financial statements
of UBS Group AG but not in those of UBS AG. UBS AG’s assets, liabilities, revenues and operating expenses related
to transactions with UBS Group AG and its directly held subsidiaries, including UBS Business Solutions AG and other
shared services subsidiaries, are not subject to elimination in the UBS AG consolidated financial statements, but are
eliminated in the UBS Group AG consolidated financial statements.
In the first quarter of 2026, UBS AG consolidated recognized a net profit of USD 2,514m, while UBS Group AG
consolidated recognized a net profit of USD 3,054m. The USD 540m difference was mainly due to certain purchase
price allocation (PPA) effects recognized at the UBS Group AG level upon the acquisition of the Credit Suisse Group.
These resulted in net accretion income at the UBS Group AG level, net of tax effects, whereas UBS AG has not
applied acquisition accounting and does not have the PPA effects or the corresponding net income. The PPA effects
also resulted in lower expenses for litigation, regulatory and similar matters at the UBS Group AG consolidated
level. Other differences in net profit mainly arose due to UBS Business Solutions AG and other shared services
subsidiaries of UBS Group AG charging other legal entities within the UBS AG consolidation scope a markup on
costs incurred for services provided.
UBS AG first quarter 2026 report |
Introduction
As of 31 March 2026, the total assets of UBS AG consolidated were USD 1.4bn higher than the total assets of
UBS Group AG consolidated. The difference mainly reflected PPA effects recognized at the UBS Group AG level
upon the acquisition of the Credit Suisse Group, partly offset by consolidation scope differences. The total liabilities
of UBS AG consolidated were USD 2.1bn higher than the total liabilities of UBS Group AG consolidated, mainly due
to consolidation scope differences.
The equity of UBS AG consolidated was USD 0.8bn lower than the equity of UBS Group AG consolidated as of
31 March 2026. This difference was mainly due to consolidation scope differences of USD 2.5bn, partly offset by
PPA effects of USD 1.6bn recognized at the UBS Group AG level upon the acquisition of the Credit Suisse Group
that did not impact UBS AG consolidated, primarily related to loans and loan commitments measured at amortized
cost and contingent liabilities recognized under IFRS 3 for litigation, partly offset by PPA effects on real estate and
debt issued.
The going concern capital of UBS AG consolidated was USD 2.8bn lower than the going concern capital of
UBS Group AG consolidated as of 31 March 2026, reflecting the common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital of UBS AG
consolidated being lower by USD 2.4bn and going concern loss-absorbing additional tier 1 (AT1) capital being
USD 0.4bn lower.
The USD 2.4bn lower CET1 capital of UBS AG consolidated was primarily due to a USD 6.4bn difference in dividend
accruals between UBS AG and UBS Group AG and UBS AG consolidated equity being USD 0.8bn lower, partly offset
by compensation-related regulatory capital accruals at the UBS Group AG level of USD 2.3bn and a capital reserve
for expected future share repurchases of USD 2.2bn and a USD 0.4bn effect from eligible deferred tax assets on
temporary differences.
The going concern loss-absorbing AT1 capital of UBS AG consolidated was USD 0.4bn lower than that of
UBS Group AG consolidated as of 31 March 2026, mainly reflecting deferred contingent capital plan awards
granted at the Group level to eligible employees for the 2021 to 2025 performance years.
Differences in capital between UBS AG consolidated and UBS Group AG consolidated related to employee
compensation plans will reverse to the extent underlying services are performed by employees of, and are
consequently charged to, UBS AG and its subsidiaries. Such reversal generally occurs over the service period of the
employee compensation plan.
The leverage ratio denominator (the LRD) of UBS AG consolidated was USD 1.9bn higher than the LRD of
UBS Group AG consolidated, mainly reflecting intercompany exposures in UBS AG toward Group entities, as well
as PPA adjustments that apply at the Group level but not at the UBS AG level, partly offset by fixed assets held
outside of the UBS AG consolidation scope.
The risk-weighted assets (RWA) of UBS AG consolidated were USD 2.9bn lower than the RWA of UBS Group AG
consolidated, mainly reflecting non-counterparty-related assets held outside the UBS AG consolidation scope, partly
offset by intercompany credit risk exposures in UBS AG toward Group entities outside of the UBS AG consolidation
scope.
The LRD for UBS AG consolidated exceeds that of UBS Group AG consolidated, and UBS AG’s RWA are lower than
those of UBS Group AG consolidated. This divergence stems mainly from certain PPA adjustments that apply at the
Group level but not at the UBS AG level and are subject to low risk weights.
The quarterly average liquidity coverage ratio (the LCR) of UBS AG consolidated was 5.4 percentage points lower
than the quarterly average LCR of UBS Group AG consolidated. The difference mainly reflected the higher net cash
outflows of UBS AG consolidated from intercompany deposits and loans that are not within the Group
consolidation scope but are within the UBS AG consolidation scope.
The net stable funding ratio (the NSFR) of UBS AG consolidated was 0.8 percentage points lower than the NSFR of
UBS Group AG consolidated. The difference primarily reflected lower UBS AG consolidated eligible regulatory
capital as compared with UBS Group AG consolidated.

USD 107m related to the supply chain finance funds matter at Credit Suisse. An additional 22 basis points for RWA 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. 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, a 0.30%
market share add-on requirement based on our Swiss credit business and a 0.01% Pillar 2 capital add-on related to the supply chain finance funds matter at Credit Suisse. 4 UBS fulfills its minimum going concern
capital requirements with CET1 capital and AT1 capital. 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) as UBS exceeds its minimum going concern requirements. 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-ons). 7 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-ons) 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.

Expected credit loss measurement
a) Credit loss expense / release
Total net credit loss expenses in the first quarter of 2026 were USD 64m, reflecting USD 77m net expenses related
to performing positions and USD 13m net releases on credit-impaired positions.
Net expected credit loss expenses on the performing portfolio were mainly driven by post-model adjustments of
USD 43m in the corporate lending portfolio, mainly in the Investment Bank, reflecting current macroeconomic and
geopolitical uncertainty.
Net credit loss releases of USD 13m were recognized for credit-impaired positions and included a USD 157m release
following the repayment of a corporate lending exposure, of which USD 85m was in Non-core and Legacy and
USD 72m in the Investment Bank. The effect of this release was largely offset by net credit loss expenses primarily
related to a small number of corporate counterparties across Personal & Corporate Banking, the Investment Bank,
and Non-core and Legacy.

b) Changes to ECL models, scenarios and scenario weights
Scenarios and scenario weights
The expected credit loss (ECL) scenarios, along with their related macroeconomic factors and market data, were
reviewed in light of the economic and political conditions prevailing in the first quarter of 2026 through a series of
governance meetings, with input and feedback from UBS Risk and Finance experts across the business divisions and
regions.
UBS kept the scenarios and scenario weights in line with those applied in the UBS Group fourth quarter 2025
report. All of the scenarios, including the asset price appreciation and the baseline scenarios, have been updated
based on the latest macroeconomic forecasts as of 31 March 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
the table below.
The baseline scenario was updated with the latest macroeconomic forecasts as of 31 March 2026. The scenario
assumes that GDP growth in Switzerland will remain below trend, reflecting a subdued outlook driven by tariffs, a
weakening labor market and negative spillovers from the Eurozone following the oil price shock. In the United
States, labor market conditions will remain soft, while higher energy prices are adding to inflationary pressures and
also increasing downside risks to growth.
The conflict in the Middle East has materially increased uncertainty around the global outlook. UBS is closely
monitoring the current market situation, inflation and central banks’ signals and will continue to carefully assess
developments, potentially revisiting the narratives and shocks in the second quarter of 2026.

Expected credit loss measurement (continued)
c) 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.
No purchased credit-impaired financial assets were recognized in the first quarter of 2026. Originated credit-
impaired financial assets were not material and are not presented in the table below.
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 31 March
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

Information about provisions and contingent liabilities with respect to litigation, regulatory and similar matters, as
a class, is included in part b). There are no material contingent liabilities associated with the other classes of
provisions.
b) Litigation, regulatory and similar matters
UBS 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 is involved in various disputes and legal proceedings,
including litigation, arbitration, and regulatory and criminal investigations. “UBS”, “we” and “our”, for purposes
of this Note, refer to UBS AG and / or one or more of its subsidiaries, as applicable.
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 UBS 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 UBS 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. UBS 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 UBS 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 UBS, but are nevertheless
expected to be, based on UBS’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 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 UBS 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 AG Annual Report 2025.

Consolidated financial information | UBS AG interim consolidated financial information (unaudited) 26
Provisions and contingent liabilities (continued)
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 are in the range of USD 0bn to USD 1.7bn.
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.

Provisions and contingent liabilities (continued)
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.
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:
A number of putative class actions and other actions are pending
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. The CHF and
GBP LIBOR actions have concluded.
UBS AG first quarter 2026 report |
Consolidated financial information | UBS AG interim consolidated financial information (unaudited) 28
Provisions and contingent liabilities (continued)
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.
Credit default swap auction litigation:
In June 2021, Credit Suisse, along with other banks and entities, was named
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. Defendants filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings in December
2025.
With respect to additional matters and jurisdictions not encompassed by the settlements and orders referred to
above, UBS’s balance sheet at 31 March 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.
The amounts disclosed below do not reflect actual realized plaintiff losses to date. Unless otherwise stated, these
amounts reflect the original unpaid principal balance amounts as alleged in these actions.
DLJ Mortgage Capital, Inc. (DLJ) is a defendant in New York State court in four actions: An action brought by Asset
Backed Securities Corporation Home Equity Loan Trust, Series 2006-HE7 alleges damages of not less than
USD 374m. In December 2023, the trial court granted in part DLJ’s motion to dismiss, dismissing with prejudice all
notice-based claims. On appeal, the appellate court modified the trial court’s dismissal in April 2025 to reinstate
certain of plaintiff’s notice-based claims and otherwise dismissed plaintiff’s claims. Plaintiff has sought leave from
the New York Court of Appeals to further appeal the dismissal of certain of its claims. An action by Home Equity
Asset Trust, Series 2006-8, alleges damages of not less than USD 436m. An action by Home Equity Asset Trust
2007-2 alleges damages of not less than USD 495m. An action by CSMC Asset-Backed Trust 2007-NC1 does not
allege a damages amount.

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, four are stayed,
including one that was dismissed as to Credit Suisse and most of the bank defendants prior to entry of the stay,
and in three cases defendants moved to dismiss plaintiffs’ amended complaints. The SDNY dismissed two of these
cases in April 2026; the 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 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
XIV litigation:
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 asserts 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.

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 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

Appendix 39
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 regul atory 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.
