Rhea-AI Filing Summary
UBS Group AG reports strong 2025 standalone results, with net profit of $13,070m (CHF 10,363m), up from $2,994m in 2024. The increase is mainly driven by much higher dividend income from subsidiaries and interest income on onward lending funded by AT1 and TLAC debt.
Dividend income from subsidiaries rose to $13,349m, while financial income reached $6,481m. The Board proposes a cash dividend of $1.10 per share, split equally between total profit and the capital contribution reserve, after cancelling 120,506,008 shares repurchased under the 2022 buyback.

Insights
Standalone profit jumps on upstreamed dividends and TLAC/AT1 flows.
UBS Group AG’s 2025 standalone profit of $13,070m versus $2,994m a year earlier mainly reflects higher dividend income of $13,349m from UBS and other subsidiaries and $6,481m of financial income from onward lending of AT1 and TLAC proceeds.
Distributable items for AT1 purposes are disclosed at $70.2bn (CHF 55.6bn), providing substantial capacity to service additional tier 1 coupons. Long-term interest-bearing liabilities total $120,598m, largely loss-absorbing AT1 notes and TLAC-eligible senior unsecured debt that structurally fund the operating bank entities.
The Board proposes a $1.10-per-share cash dividend, half from total profit and half from the capital contribution reserve, alongside the cancellation of 120.5 million repurchased shares. Future consolidated disclosures will remain important to understand how these upstream flows relate to group-wide earnings and capital strength.

Notes to the UBS Group AG standalone financial statements
Note 1 Corporate information
UBS Group AG is incorporated and domiciled in Switzerland, and its registered office is at Bahnhofstrasse 45, CH-8001
Zurich, Switzerland. UBS Group AG operates under Art. 620 et seq. of the Swiss Code of Obligations as an
Aktiengesellschaft
The UBS Group AG standalone financial statements are prepared in accordance with the principles of the Swiss law on
accounting and financial reporting (32nd title of the Swiss Code of Obligations).
The significant accounting and valuation principles applied are described in Note 2.
UBS Group AG is the ultimate holding company of the UBS Group, the grantor of certain deferred compensation plans
of UBS Group and the issuer of loss-absorbing capital notes, which qualify as Basel III additional tier 1 (AT1) capital on a
consolidated UBS Group basis, and senior unsecured debt, which contributes to the total loss-absorbing capacity (TLAC)
of the Group.
The proceeds from the issuances of loss-absorbing AT1 capital notes and TLAC-eligible senior unsecured debt instruments
are on lent to UBS AG or were on lent to either UBS AG or Credit Suisse AG until the two entities merged on 31 May 2024.
›
Refer to Notes 14 and 16 for more information about the main terms and conditions of the loss-absorbing AT1 capital notes and
TLAC-eligible senior unsecured debt instruments issued
In addition, UBS Group AG grants Deferred Contingent Capital Plan (DCCP) awards to UBS Group employees. These
DCCP awards also qualify as Basel III AT1 capital of the Group.
As of 31 December 2025, UBS Group AG
’
s distributable items for the purpose of AT1 capital instruments were
USD 70.2bn (CHF 55.6bn) (31 December 2024: USD 64bn (CHF 58.1bn)). For this purpose, distributable items are
defined in the terms and conditions of the relevant instruments as the aggregate of (i) net profits carried forward and
(ii) freely distributable reserves, in each case less any amounts that must be contributed to legal reserves under applicable
law.
In 2025, as approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting (the AGM) held on 10 April 2025, the cancellation
of 120,506,008 shares, each with a nominal value of USD 0.10, acquired under the 2022 share repurchase program, was
executed. The cancellation of these shares resulted in reclassifications within equity but had no net effect on the total
equity attributable to shareholders. The share capital has been reduced by the nominal value of the repurchased shares
upon cancellation, i.e. USD 12m (CHF 10m). The capital contribution reserve and the voluntary earnings reserve were
each reduced by 50% of the total capital reduction amount exceeding the nominal value upon cancellation of the
repurchased shares, i.e. each by USD 1,133m (CHF 898m).

Foreign currency translation
Transactions denominated in foreign currency are translated into US dollars at the spot exchange rate on the date of the
transaction. At the balance sheet date, all current assets and short-term liabilities, as well as

cost are translated at the spot exchange rate on the date of a contribution. Currency translation effects from dividends
paid in Swiss francs are recognized in equity. All other currency translation effects are recognized in the income
statement.
The main currency translation rates used by UBS Group AG are provided in Note 31 in the “Consolidated financial
statements” section of the UBS Group Annual Report 2025, available under “Annual reporting” at
ubs.com/investors
.

Note 2 Accounting policies (continued)
Presentation currencies
The primary presentation currency of the standalone financial statements of UBS Group AG is the US dollar, in line with
its functional currency. Amounts in Swiss francs are also presented for each component of the financial statements.
As of 1 January 2025, UBS Group AG has prospectively adopted the closing rate method for converting US dollar amounts
into Swiss francs. Under this method, all assets, liabilities and equity positions, as well as income and expense items, are
converted at the closing rate. In the comparative period, UBS Group AG applied the modified closing rate method for
converting US dollar 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
, amounting to a cumulative negative currency
translation effect of CHF 2,137m as of 31 December 2024.
UBS Group 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.

Refer to Note 13 for more information
Derivative instruments
UBS Group AG uses derivative instruments to manage exposures to foreign currency risks from investments in foreign
subsidiaries and exposures to interest rate risk from certain fixed-rate debt instruments. The derivative instruments are
entered into with UBS AG, mirroring the conditions of the transactions that they enter into with third parties.
Derivative instruments are measured at fair value based on quoted market prices or other observable market prices as of
the balance sheet date. Unrealized gains and losses are recognized on the balance sheet as
Accrued income and prepaid
expenses
Accrued expenses and deferred income
, respectively. Corresponding gains and losses resulting from fair
value changes are recognized in
Financial income
Financial expenses
, respectively.
Hedge accounting
UBS Group AG applies the following hedge accounting policies where requirements on risk management, documentation
and effectiveness are met.
Fair value hedges of interest rate risk related to debt instruments
UBS Group AG designates certain fixed-rate issued debt instruments and fixed-to-floating interest rate derivatives as
hedged items and hedging instruments, respectively, in fair value hedge accounting relationships. The hedged risk is
determined as the change in the fair value of the issued debt instruments attributable to changes in the designated
benchmark interest rates. The effective portion of gains and losses of the hedging instruments is deferred on the balance
sheet as
Accrued income
and prepaid expenses
Accrued expenses and deferred income
.
UBS Group AG standalone financial statements
Note 2 Accounting policies (continued)
Hedge accounting for Investments in subsidiaries
UBS Group AG applies hedge accounting for certain investments in subsidiaries 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 fair value of the hedged item arising solely from changes in spot FX rates. Consequently, UBS Group AG 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 and are recognized in

the extent no change is recognized in the carrying amount of the hedged item arising from changes in spot FX rates.
Otherwise, the effective portion of gains and losses of these FX derivatives is matched with the corresponding valuation

.
Investments in subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiaries are equity interests that are held to carry on the business of the UBS Group or for other
strategic purposes. They include all subsidiaries directly held by UBS Group AG through which UBS conducts its business
on a global basis. The investments are carried at cost less impairment and generally measured individually. In the
comparative period, until the then-contemplated merger, which became effective on 31 May 2024, the investments in
UBS AG and Credit Suisse AG were combined as a valuation unit as these investments were economically closely
interlinked.
The carrying amount of an investment 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 recoverable amount.
Subsequent recoveries in value are recognized up to the original cost value if, in the opinion of management, forecasts
of future probability provide sufficient evidence that an increased recoverable amount is supported. Management may
exercise its discretion as to what extent, and in which period, a recovery in value is recognized.

Long-term interest-bearing liabilities
Long-term interest-bearing liabilities include loss-absorbing capital notes and senior unsecured debt. They are presented
at nominal value. Any difference to nominal value, e.g. premium, discount or external costs that are directly related to
the issue, is deferred as

Treasury shares
Treasury shares acquired by UBS Group AG are recognized at acquisition cost and are presented as a deduction from
shareholders’ equity.
Upon disposal of treasury shares or settlement of related share-based awards, any realized gain or loss is recognized in
Voluntary earnings reserve
. Realized gains and losses from settlement of share-based awards represent the difference
between the acquisition cost of the UBS Group AG shares and the grant date fair value of the share-based awards. For
the year ended 31 December 2025, a net loss of USD 391m (CHF 310m) from settlement of share-based awards was
recognized in

Note 2 Accounting policies (continued)
Share-based and other deferred compensation plans
Share-based compensation plans
The grant date fair value of equity-settled share-based compensation awards granted to employees is generally
recognized over the vesting period of the awards. Awards granted by UBS Group AG in the form of UBS Group AG
shares and notional shares are settled by delivering UBS Group AG shares at vesting, except in jurisdictions where this is
not permitted for legal or tax reasons. They are recognized as
Compensation-related long-term liabilities
than 12 months after the balance sheet date, or as
Accrued expenses and deferred income
of the balance sheet date. The amount recognized is adjusted for forfeiture assumptions, such that the amount ultimately
recognized is based on the number of awards that meet the related service conditions at the vesting date. The grant date
fair value is based on the UBS Group AG share price on the date of grant, taking into consideration post-vesting sale and
hedge restrictions, dividend rights, non-vesting conditions, and market conditions, where applicable.
Upon settlement of the share-based awards, any realized gain or loss on the treasury shares is recognized in
Voluntary
earnings reserve
. Realized gains and losses from settlement of share-based awards represent the difference between the
acquisition cost of the UBS Group AG shares and the grant date fair value of the share-based awards.
Other deferred compensation plans
Deferred compensation plans that are not share-based, including DCCP awards and awards linked to the performance
of investment funds, are accounted for as cash-settled awards. The present value or fair value of the amount payable to
employees that is settled in cash is recognized as a liability generally over the vesting period, as
Compensation-related

income
date at the present value of the corresponding DCCP award and the fair value of investment funds linked to deferred
compensation awards. Gains and losses resulting from remeasurement of the liabilities are recognized in
Other operating
income
Other operating expenses
, respectively.
Recharge of compensation expenses
Expenses related to deferred compensation plans are recharged by UBS Group AG to its subsidiaries employing the
personnel. Upon recharge, UBS Group AG recognizes a receivable from its subsidiaries corresponding to a liability
representing its obligation toward the employees.
Dispensations in the standalone financial statements
As UBS Group AG prepares consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS, UBS Group AG is exempt from
various disclosures in the standalone financial statements. The dispensations include the management report and the
statement of cash flows, as well as certain note disclosures.
Note 3 Investments in and merger of UBS AG and Credit Suisse AG
In the comparative period, until the then-contemplated merger, which became effective on 31 May 2024, the investments
of UBS Group AG in both UBS AG and Credit Suisse AG were aggregated for impairment (reversal) testing purposes.
Such an aggregation (i.e. “valuation unit”) was permitted under the accounting rules applicable to UBS Group AG given
that at this time UBS AG and Credit Suisse AG were closely interlinked. The applicable accounting rules also permitted
the historic cost value for the investment in Credit Suisse AG, as per the former Credit Suisse Group AG standalone
financial statements, to be combined with the cost value for the investment in UBS AG. The book value assigned to the
investment in the combined entity (UBS AG and Credit Suisse AG) of USD 72,567m (CHF 65,898m) was below the cost
value under these rules and below the recoverable amount determined at that time by using a discounted cash flow
model based on the business plan for the combined entity.

31 December 2025. 2 For illustrative purposes, converted at the closing exchange rate as of 31 December 2025.
As set out above, half of the ordinary dividend distribution of USD 1.10 (gross) in cash per share is payable out of total
profit, and the other half is payable out of the capital contribution reserve. The portion of the dividend paid out of total
profit will be subject to a 35% Swiss withholding tax.
The ordinary dividend distribution is declared in US dollars. Shareholders whose shares are held through SIX SIS AG will
receive dividends in Swiss francs, based on a published exchange rate calculated up to five decimal places on the day
prior to the ex-dividend date. Shareholders holding shares through DTC or directly registered in the US share register with
Computershare will be paid dividends in US dollars.
In May 2024, the US changed its settlement practice from t+2, as common in Europe, to t+1, to reduce the risk between
the execution and settlement of a trade. To align the two different settlement practices regarding the corporate event
key dates, UBS decided to set the ex-dividend date on the NYSE one day later than on the SIX Swiss Exchange. Provided
that the proposed dividend distribution out of the total profit and the capital contribution reserve is approved, the
payment of USD 1.10 (or the Swiss franc equivalent) per share will be made on 23 April 2026 to holders of shares on the
record date 22 April 2026 on the SIX Swiss Exchange and the NYSE. However, on the SIX Swiss Exchange, the shares will
be traded ex-dividend as of 21 April 2026 and, accordingly, the last day on which the shares may be traded with
entitlement to receive the dividend will be 20 April 2026. On the NYSE, the shares will be traded ex-dividend as of 22 April
2026, and the last day on which the shares may be traded with entitlement to receive the dividend will be 21 April 2026.
