UBS Group | Introduction and basis for preparation 2
UBS Group
Introduction and basis for preparation
Scope of Basel III Pillar 3 disclosures
The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (the BCBS) Basel III capital adequacy framework consists of three
complementary pillars. Pillar 1 provides a framework for measuring minimum capital requirements for the credit, market,
operational and non-counterparty-related risks faced by banks. Pillar 2 addresses the principles of the supervisory review
process, emphasizing the need for a qualitative approach to supervising banks. Pillar 3 requires banks to publish a range
of disclosures, mainly covering risk, capital, leverage, liquidity and remuneration.
This report provides Pillar 3 disclosures for the UBS Group, including the acquired Credit Suisse Group, and prudential
key figures and regulatory information for UBS AG consolidated and standalone, UBS Switzerland AG standalone,
UBS Europe SE consolidated, and UBS Americas Holding LLC consolidated, as well as Credit Suisse International
standalone, in the respective sections under “Significant regulated subsidiaries and sub-groups”.
This Pillar 3 Report has been prepared in accordance with Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) Pillar 3
disclosure requirements (FINMA Circular 2016/1 “Disclosure – banks”) as revised on 8 December 2021, the underlying
BCBS guidance “Revised Pillar 3 disclosure requirements” issued in January 2015, the “Frequently asked questions on
the revised Pillar 3 disclosure requirements” issued in August 2016, the “Pillar 3 disclosure requirements – consolidated
and enhanced framework” issued in March 2017 and the subsequent “Technical Amendment – Pillar 3 disclosure
requirements – regulatory treatment of accounting provisions” issued in August 2018.
As UBS is considered a systemically relevant bank (an SRB) under Swiss banking law, UBS Group AG and UBS AG are
required to comply with regulations based on the Basel III framework as applicable to Swiss SRBs on a consolidated basis.
Local regulators may also require the publication of Pillar 3 information at a subsidiary or sub-group level. Where
applicable, these local disclosures are provided under “Holding company and significant regulated subsidiaries and sub-
groups” at
ubs.com/investors
.
Acquisition of the Credit Suisse Group
Impact of our acquisition of the Credit Suisse Group on Basel III Pillar 3 disclosures
We completed the merger of UBS Switzerland AG and Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG on 1 July 2024. This change has been
reflected in the significant regulated subsidiaries and sub-groups section of this report.

Amortization of transitional purchase price allocation adjustments for regulatory capital
As part of the acquisition of the Credit Suisse Group in 2023, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including
contingent liabilities, were recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date in accordance with IFRS 3,
Business
Combinations
. The purchase price allocation (PPA) fair value adjustments required under IFRS 3 were recognized as part
of negative goodwill and included effects on financial instruments measured at amortized cost, such as fair value impacts
from interest rates and own credit, that are expected to accrete back to par through the income statement as the
instruments are held to maturity. FINMA approved a transitional common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital treatment for certain
of these fair value adjustments, given the substantially temporary nature of the IFRS-3-accounting-driven effects, which
neutralized equity reductions under IFRS Accounting Standards of USD 5.9bn (before tax) and USD 5.0bn (net of tax) as
of the acquisition date. The transitional treatment was subject to linear amortization through 30 June 2027.
In the third quarter of 2024, we voluntarily accelerated the amortization of the remaining transitional CET1 capital PPA
adjustments, resulting in a USD 3.4bn decrease in CET1 capital and a reduction in our CET1 capital ratio of approximately
65 basis points. As these transitional adjustments only applied to UBS Group AG, the regulatory capital position of
UBS AG was not impacted by the decision to fully amortize them.

UBS Group | Introduction and basis for preparation 3
Significant regulatory developments, disclosure requirements and other changes
Developments related to the final Basel III implementation
In Switzerland, the amendments to the Capital Adequacy Ordinance that will incorporate the final Basel III standards into
Swiss law are still scheduled to enter into force on 1 January 2025, as confirmed by the Swiss Federal Council in June
2024.
We expect that the adoption of the final Basel III standards in January 2025 will lead to low single-digit percentage
increases in the UBS Group’s risk-weighted assets (RWA) and leverage ratio denominator, reducing the CET1 capital ratio
by around 30 basis points and the CET1 leverage ratio by around 10 basis points. This estimate is based on our current
understanding of the relevant standards as we are in an active dialogue with FINMA regarding various aspects of the final
rules. Our estimate for the RWA and CET1 capital ratio does not take into account the impact of the output floor, which
is to be phased in over time.
The EU has confirmed that the final Basel III requirements will be implemented as of 1 January 2025, except for the
market risk capital requirements, the implementation of which will be delayed to 1 January 2026.
In September 2024, the UK Prudential Regulatory Authority (the PRA) published its final rules covering the implementation
of the final Basel III standards. As part of the package, the PRA announced the pushing back of the implementation date,
from 1 July 2025 to 1 January 2026, with full phase-in of the output floor by 1 January 2030. The overall impact on UBS
is expected to be limited.
In the US, the banking agencies, including the Federal Reserve Board, have been discussing amendments to their original
proposals regarding the implementation of the final Basel III standards. The banking agencies have indicated that they
plan to issue a revised proposal before issuing the final rules.
Frequency and comparability of Pillar 3 disclosures
FINMA has specified the reporting frequency for each disclosure, as outlined in the “Introduction and basis for
preparation” section of the 31 December 2023 Pillar 3 Report, available under “Pillar 3 disclosures” at
ubs.com/investors
.
In line with the FINMA-specified disclosure frequency and requirements for disclosure with regard to comparative periods,
we provide quantitative comparative information as of 30 June 2024 for disclosures required on a quarterly basis. Where
specifically required by FINMA and / or the BCBS, we disclose comparative information for additional reporting dates.

Key metrics
Key metrics for the third quarter of 2024
The KM1 and KM2 tables below are based on Basel Committee on Banking Supervision Basel III rules. The KM2 table
includes a reference to the total loss-absorbing capacity (TLAC) term sheet, published by the Financial Stability Board (the
FSB). The FSB provides this term sheet at
fsb.org/2015/11/total-loss-absorbing-capacity-tlac-principles-and-term-sheet
.
Our capital ratios decreased, reflecting a decrease in our tier 1 capital and an increase in risk-weighted assets (RWA). Our
leverage ratio decreased, reflecting an increase in the leverage ratio denominator (the LRD) and a decrease in tier 1 capital.
Our common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital decreased by USD 1.9bn to USD 74.2bn, mainly as operating profit before tax
of USD 1.9bn and foreign currency translation gains of USD 1.3bn were more than offset by the effect of our voluntary
acceleration of the amortization of the remaining transitional CET1 capital purchase price allocation adjustments of
USD 3.4bn (net of tax) and the regular amortization of these adjustments during the quarter of USD 0.3bn (net of tax),
as well as dividend accruals of USD 0.6bn, current tax expenses of USD 0.4bn, and a negative effect from compensation-
and own-share-related capital components of USD 0.3bn. Share repurchases of USD 0.5bn carried out in the third quarter
of 2024 under our 2024 share repurchase program did not affect our CET1 capital position, as there was an equal
reduction in the capital reserve for potential share repurchases.
Our tier 1 capital decreased by USD 0.8bn to USD 91.0bn, reflecting the aforementioned decrease in CET1 capital, partly
offset by an increase in additional tier 1 (AT1) capital of USD 1.1bn. The AT1 capital increase was mainly driven by the
issuance of new AT1 capital instruments equivalent to USD 1.6bn and positive impacts from interest rate risk hedge,
foreign currency translation and other effects, partly offset by the call of AT1 capital instruments equivalent to USD 1.0bn.
The TLAC available as of 30 September 2024 included CET1 capital, AT1 capital and non-regulatory capital elements of
TLAC. Under the Swiss systemically relevant bank framework, including transitional arrangements, TLAC excludes 45%
of the gross unrealized gains on debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income for
accounting purposes, which for regulatory capital purposes are measured at the lower of cost or market value. This
amount was negligible as of 30 September 2024 but is included as available TLAC in the KM2 table in this section.
Our available TLAC decreased by USD 2.8bn to USD 194.9bn, reflecting the aforementioned decrease in tier 1 capital
and a USD 2.0bn decrease in non-regulatory capital elements of TLAC. The decrease in non-regulatory capital elements
of TLAC was driven by the call of USD 6.4bn equivalent of TLAC-eligible senior unsecured debt instruments, as well as
USD 3.1bn equivalent of TLAC-eligible senior unsecured debt instruments and a USD 0.3bn non-Basel III-compliant tier 2
instrument ceasing to be eligible as gone concern capital as they entered the final year before maturity. These effects
were partly offset by new issuances of TLAC-eligible senior unsecured debt instruments totaling USD 1.8bn equivalent
and positive impacts from interest rate risk hedge, foreign currency translation and other effects.
During the third quarter of 2024, RWA increased by USD 8.0bn to USD 519.4bn, mainly driven by increases of USD 4.1bn
in credit risk RWA, USD 2.4bn in market risk RWA and USD 2.3bn from amounts below thresholds for deduction (250%
risk weight), partly offset by a decrease of USD 0.9bn from counterparty credit risk RWA.
The LRD increased by USD 44.1bn to USD 1,608.3bn, driven by currency effects of USD 53.6bn, partly offset by asset
size and other movements of USD 9.5bn.
The quarterly average liquidity coverage ratio (the LCR) of the UBS Group decreased 12.7 percentage points to 199.2%,
remaining above the prudential requirement communicated by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA).
The movement in the quarterly average LCR was primarily driven by a decrease in high-quality liquid assets of USD 17.6bn
to USD 360.6bn, mainly reflecting lower cash available, due to the funding of trading assets and an increase in Swiss
regulatory minimum reserve requirements. The average net cash outflows increased by USD 2.6bn to USD 181.1bn,
reflecting higher net outflows from derivatives and higher outflows from deposits, partly offset by lower outflows from
irrevocable loan commitments.
As of 30 September 2024, the net stable funding ratio of the UBS Group decreased 1.2 percentage points to 126.9%,
remaining above the prudential requirement communicated by FINMA. Available stable funding increased by USD 22.0bn
to USD 904.3bn, mainly driven by higher customer deposits, largely due to currency effects. Required stable funding
increased by USD 23.8bn to USD 712.8bn, primarily reflecting increases in trading assets and in lending assets, with the
latter increase mainly driven by currency effects.

Overview of risk-weighted assets
Overview of RWA and capital requirements
The OV1 table below provides an overview of our risk-weighted assets (RWA) and the related minimum capital
requirements by risk type. The table presented is based on the respective Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority
(FINMA) template and empty rows indicate current non-applicability to UBS.
During the third quarter of 2024, RWA increased by USD 8.0bn to USD 519.4bn, mainly driven by increases of USD 4.1bn
in credit risk RWA, USD 2.4bn in market risk RWA and USD 2.3bn from amounts below thresholds for deduction (250%
risk weight), partly offset by a decrease of USD 0.9bn from counterparty credit risk (CCR) RWA.
Credit risk RWA increased by USD 4.1bn, mainly driven by a USD 9.0bn increase from currency effects, partly offset by
decreases of USD 4.4bn resulting from asset size and other movements, as well as USD 0.5bn resulting from model
updates and methodology changes. Asset size and other movements decreased credit risk RWA by USD 4.4bn, mainly
driven by negative net new loans in Personal & Corporate Banking and Global Wealth Management, as well as the active
unwinding of Non-core and Legacy assets. Model updates and methodology changes resulted in a decrease of
USD 0.5bn, mainly reflecting an RWA reduction of USD 0.7bn related to model updates and harmonizations for
structured margin loans and similar products in Global Wealth Management, partly offset by a net increase of USD 0.2bn
related to methodology changes related to commercial real estate and private equity.
Market risk RWA increased by USD 2.4bn to USD 25.0bn in the third quarter of 2024, mainly driven by an increase of
USD 1.4bn from a capital buffer newly introduced by FINMA to capitalize potential maturity mismatches between
positions and hedges in the incremental risk charge (the IRC). The IRC, including the capital buffer, will no longer be
applicable with the adoption of the final Basel III standards (including the Fundamental Review of the Trading Book) in
January 2025. Additionally, in the third quarter of 2024, we observed an increase of USD 1.0bn from asset size and other
movements that reflected updates from the monthly risks-not-in-value-at-risk assessment, which was partially offset by
the de-risking within Non-core and Legacy.
RWA from amounts below thresholds for deduction (250% risk weight) increased by USD 2.3bn, primarily due to
increases in deferred tax assets and from currency effect s.
CCR RWA decreased by USD 0.9bn, mainly driven by a decrease of USD 2.5bn related to model updates, partly offset by
increases of USD 0.9bn related to currency effects and USD 0.7bn related to asset size and other movements. Model
updates resulted in an RWA decrease of USD 2.5bn, mainly related to the recalibration of certain multipliers as a result
of improvements to models. Asset size and other movements increased by USD 0.7bn, mainly due to higher RWA from
derivatives.
The flow tables for credit risk, CCR and market risk RWA below provide further details regarding the movements in RWA
in the third quarter of 2024.

RWA flow statements of credit risk exposures under the internal ratings-based approach
The CR8 table below provides a breakdown of the credit risk RWA movements in the third quarter of 2024 across
movement categories defined by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (the BCBS).
During the third quarter of 2024, exposures to the Swiss National Bank and to the Federal Reserve of around USD 39bn
were migrated from legacy Credit Suisse platforms to UBS platforms. These exposures had been risk weighted under the
standardized approach on legacy Credit Suisse platforms, but UBS applies the internal ratings-based (IRB) approach to
such exposures. The impact of this migration on total RWA for UBS Group AG consolidated is immaterial. For the table
below, RWA from asset size increased due to the inclusion of the aforementioned exposures in IRB. The low risk weights
of the migrated exposures drove decreases in average risk density and RWA from asset quality under the IRB approach.
In addition to the table below, our semi-annual CR4, CR5 and CR6 disclosures will be impacted by this change in the
fourth quarter of 2024.
Credit risk RWA under the IRB approach increased by USD 6.1bn to USD 197.7bn during the third quarter of 2024. This
balance included credit risk under the advanced IRB approach, as well as credit risk under the supervisory slotting
approach.
Movements in asset size drove a USD 4.1bn increase in RWA, primarily due to the migration of the aforementioned
central bank exposures and also due to some extent to increases in loans and loan commitments in the Investment Bank.
Such increases were partly offset by negative net new loans in Personal & Corporate Banking and Global Wealth
Management, as well as reductions in Non-core and Legacy, mainly driven by our actions to actively unwind the portfolio,
in addition to the natural roll-off.
Movements in asset quality, including changes in risk density across the overall portfolio, decreased RWA by USD 5.1bn,
primarily related to the migration of low risk-weighted central bank exposures, as explained above, and to some extent
also due to lower risk density in Global Wealth Management. Such decreases were partly offset by increases in the
Investment Bank, as well as Personal & Corporate Banking, mainly due to changes in risk density.
30 September 2024 Pillar 3 Report |
UBS Group | Overview of risk-weighted assets 8
Model updates resulted in a decrease of USD 0.7bn, mainly reflecting an RWA reduction related to model updates and
harmonizations for structured margin loans and similar products in Global Wealth Management.
Methodology and policy changes resulted in a decrease of USD 0.2bn, mainly from methodology changes related to
commercial real estate and private equity.
Currency effects, driven by the weakening of the US dollar against other major currencies, resulted in an RWA increase
of USD 7.7bn.

RWA flow statements of counterparty credit risk exposures under the internal model method and VaR
The CCR7 table below presents a flow statement explaining changes in CCR RWA determined under the internal model
method (the IMM) for derivatives and the value-at-risk (VaR ) approach for securities financing transactions (SFTs).
CCR RWA on derivatives under the IMM decreased by USD 0.1bn to USD 16.4bn during the third quarter of 2024. Asset
size movements contributed to an RWA decrease of USD 1.5bn, primarily due to a client-driven decrease against central
counterparties in the Investment Bank. Model updates resulted in a decrease of USD 1.2bn, primarily related to the
recalibration of certain multipliers as a result of improvements to models. Asset quality movements contributed to a
USD 2.1bn increase in RWA, primarily due to changes in average risk density in the Investment Bank. Foreign exchange
movements resulted in an RWA increase of USD 0.5bn.
CCR RWA on SFTs under the VaR approach decreased by USD 0.6bn to USD 9.1bn during the third quarter of 2024.
Asset quality movements contributed to a USD 1.2bn decrease in RWA, primarily due to a decrease in risk density in
Group Treasury. Model updates resulted in a decrease of USD 0.9bn, primarily related to the recalibration of certain
multipliers as a result of improvements to models. These decreases were largely offset by an increase of USD 1.2bn due
to asset size movements, primarily due to higher exposures in the Investment Bank and Group Treasury. Foreign exchange
movements resulted in an RWA increase of USD 0.2bn.

RWA flow statements of market risk exposures under an internal models approach
The three main components that contribute to market risk RWA are regulatory VaR, stressed value-at-risk (SVaR) and the
IRC. The VaR and SVaR components include the RWA charge for risks not in VaR (RniV).
The MR2 table below provides a breakdown of the movement in market risk RWA in the third quarter of 2024 under an
internal models approach across those components, pursuant to the movement categories defined by the BCBS.
Market risk RWA increased by USD 2.6bn to USD 24.7bn in the third quarter of 2024, driven by an increase from a capital
buffer newly introduced by FINMA to capitalize potential maturity mismatches between positions and hedges in the IRC.
The IRC, including the capital buffer, will no longer be applicable with the adoption of the final Basel III standards
(including the Fundamental Review of the Trading Book) in January 2025. Additionally, in the third quarter of 2024, we
observed an increase from asset size and other movements that reflected updates from the monthly RniV assessment,
which was partially offset by the de-risking within Non-Core and Legacy.
The FINMA VaR multiplier derived from backtesting exceptions for market risk RWA was unchanged compared with the
prior quarter, at 3.0, for both the UBS Group excluding certain legacy Credit Suisse components and the aforementioned
legacy Credit Suisse components.

requirement, a 1.5% base buffer capital requirement, a 0.25% LRD add-on requirement, a 0.25% market share add-on requirement based on our Swiss credit business. 3 Includes outstanding low-trigger loss-
absorbing additional tier 1 capital instruments, which are available under the Swiss systemically relevant bank framework to meet the going concern requirements until their first call date. As of their first call date,
these instruments are eligible to meet the gone concern requirements. 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 From 1 January 2023, the resolvability discount on the gone concern capital requirements for systemically important banks (SIBs)
has been replaced with reduced base gone concern capital requirements equivalent to 75% of the total going concern requirements (excluding countercyclical buffer requirements). 6 As of July 2024, the Swiss
Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) has the authority to impose a surcharge of up to 25% of the total going concern capital requirements should obstacles to an SIB’s resolvability be identified in future
resolvability assessments. 7 Includes applicable add-ons of 1.08% for RWA and 0.38% for LRD.
30 September 2024 Pillar 3 Report |
UBS Group | Leverage ratio 11
Leverage ratio
Basel III leverage ratio
The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (the BCBS) leverage ratio, as summarized in the “KM1: Key metrics“ table
in section 2 of this report, is calculated by dividing the period-end tier 1 capital by the period-end leverage ratio
denominator (the LRD).
The LRD consists of on-balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet items based on IFRS Accounting Standards. Derivative
exposures are adjusted for a number of items, including replacement values and eligible cash variation margin netting,
the current exposure method add-on for potential future exposure and net notional amounts for written credit derivatives.
The LRD also includes an additional charge for counterparty credit risk related to securities financing transactions (SFTs).
The table below shows the difference between IFRS Accounting Standards total assets as per the consolidation scope
under IFRS Accounting Standards and the BCBS total on-balance sheet exposures. Those exposures are the starting point
for calculating the BCBS LRD, as shown in the LR2 table in this section. The difference is due to the application of the
regulatory scope of consolidation for the purpose of the BCBS calculation. In addition, carrying amounts for derivative
financial instruments and SFTs are deducted from IFRS Accounting Standards total assets. They are measured differently
under BCBS leverage ratio rules and are therefore added back in separate exposure line items in the LR2 table.
Difference between the Swiss systemically relevant bank and BCBS leverage ratio
The LRD is the same under Swiss systemically relevant bank (SRB) and BCBS rules. However, there is a difference in the
capital numerator between the two frameworks. Under BCBS rules only common equity tier 1 (CET1) and additional
tier 1 capital are included in the numerator. Under Swiss SRB rules UBS is required to meet going and gone concern
leverage ratio requirements. Therefore, depending on the requirement, the numerator includes tier 1 capital instruments,
tier 2 capital instruments and / or total loss-absorbing capacity -eligible senior unsecured debt.

1 Row 3 includes entities which are consolidated under the regulatory scope of consolidation, but not under the IFRS scope of consolidation. Reports prior to this third quarter of 2024 report had also included
exposures related to certain special purpose vehicles which had been deconsolidated in row 2 and included in row 3. From the third quarter of 2024 onwards, this approach has been refined, with no bottom-line
impact on row 10. Prior periods have not been restated. 2 In the third quarter of 2024, we accelerated the amortization of the remaining transitional CET1 capital purchase price allocation adjustments. Refer to the
“Introduction and basis for preparation” section of this report for more information about the change in CET1 capital deduction items.
During the third quarter of 2024, the LRD increased by USD 44.1bn to USD 1,608.3bn. The increase was primarily driven
by currency effects of USD 53.6bn, partly offset by asset size and other movements of USD 9.5bn.
On-balance sheet exposures (excluding derivatives and securities financing transactions) increased by USD 32.2bn, mainly
due to currency effects of USD 45.0bn, partly offset by asset size and other movements of USD 12.8bn. The asset size
movement was mainly driven by a decrease in cash and balances at central banks, as well as decreases in lending balances
due to negative net new loans, mainly in Personal & Corporate Banking and Global Wealth Management. There was also
a decrease in trading portfolio assets in Non-core and Legacy driven by our actions to actively unwind the portfolio, in
addition to the natural roll-off. These decreases were partly offset by increases in other financial assets in Group Treasury
and trading portfolio assets, primarily driven by an increase in positions held in the Investment Bank to hedge client
positions, as well as market-driven increases. In addition, deduction items resulted in a decrease in the LRD of USD 3.6bn,
due to our voluntary acceleration of the amortization of the remaining transitional CET1 capital purchase price allocation
adjustments in the third quarter of 2024.
Derivative exposures increased by USD 8.5bn, mainly due to asset size and other movements of USD 6.1bn and currency
effects of USD 2.4bn. The asset size movement was mainly due to client-driven increases in the Investment Bank.
Securities financing transactions increased by USD 3.3bn, mainly due to currency effects of USD 4.2bn, partly offset by
asset size and other movements of USD 0.9bn.

High-quality liquid assets
HQLA must be easily and immediately convertible into cash at little or no loss of value, especially during a period of stress.
HQLA are assets that are of low risk and are unencumbered. Other characteristics of HQLA are ease and certainty of
valuation, low correlation with risky assets, listing of the assets on a developed and recognized exchange, existence of
an active and sizable market for the assets, and low volatility. Our HQLA predominantly consist of assets that qualify as
Level 1 in the LCR framework, including cash, central bank reserves and government bonds. In the third quarter of 2024,
our average HQLA decreased by USD 17.6bn to USD 360.6bn, mainly reflecting lower cash available, due to the funding
of trading assets and an increase in Swiss regulatory minimum reserve requirements .

The quarterly average LCR of the UBS Group decreased 12.7 percentage points to 199.2%, remaining above the
prudential requirement communicated by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA). The movement in
the quarterly average LCR was primarily driven by a decrease in HQLA of USD 17.6bn to USD 360.6bn, mainly reflecting
lower cash available, due to the funding of trading assets and an increase in Swiss regulatory minimum reserve
requirements. The average net cash outflows increased by USD 2.6bn to USD 181.1bn, reflecting higher net outflows

Key metrics for the third quarter of 2024
The table below is based on Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) Basel III rules and IFRS Accounting
Standards.
During the third quarter of 2024, tier 1 capital increased by USD 2.5bn to USD 100.7bn. Common equity tier 1 (CET1)
capital increased by USD 1.4bn to USD 84.4bn, primarily due to operating profit before tax of USD 1.2bn, foreign
currency translation gains of USD 1.5bn and an increase in eligible deferred tax assets recognized for temporary
differences of USD 0.3bn, partly offset by dividend accruals of USD 1.0bn and current tax expenses of USD 0.3bn.
Additional tier 1 (AT1) capital issued by the Group and on lent to UBS AG increased by USD 1.1bn to USD 16.3bn,
reflecting the issuance of new AT1 capital instruments equivalent to USD 1.6bn and positive impacts from interest rate
risk hedge, foreign currency translation and other effects, partly offset by the call of AT1 capital instruments equivalent
to USD 1.0bn.
During the third quarter of 2024, risk-weighted assets (RWA) increased by USD 5.6bn to USD 515.5bn, driven by a
USD 10.8bn increase in currency effects, partly offset by decreases of USD 3.6bn resulting from asset size and other
movements, mainly driven by lower credit and counterparty credit risk RWA, as well as USD 1.6bn resulting from model
updates and methodology changes.
During the third quarter of 2024, the leverage ratio denominator (the LRD) increased by USD 47.2bn to USD 1,611.2bn,
driven by currency effects of USD 54.2bn, partly offset by asset size and other movements of USD 7.1bn. The asset size
and other movements were mainly due to a decrease in cash and balances at central banks, as well as decreases in
lending balances, partly offset by increases in trading portfolio assets and other financial assets. Furthermore, there were
decreases in off-balance sheet exposures and securities financing transaction exposures, partly offset by higher derivative
exposures.
Correspondingly, the CET1 capital ratio of UBS AG consolidated increased to 16.4% from 16.3%, reflecting the increase
in CET1 capital, partly offset by the increase in RWA. The Basel III leverage ratio decreased to 6.2% from 6.3%, reflecting
the increase in the LRD, partly offset by higher tier 1 capital.
The quarterly average liquidity coverage ratio (the LCR) of UBS AG consolidated increased 2.2 percentage points to
196.3%. The movement in the quarterly average LCR was primarily driven by an increase in high-quality liquid assets
(HQLA) of USD 80.3bn to USD 360.6bn. This increase was substantially attributable to the effect of the merger of UBS AG
and Credit Suisse AG, with only 21 days of post-merger effect being included in the average LCR for the second quarter
of 2024. The increase in HQLA was partly offset by a USD 40.1bn increase in net cash outflows to USD 183.7bn,
substantially attributable to the effect of the merger of UBS AG and Credit Suisse AG, with only 21 days of post-merger
effect being included in the average LCR for the second quarter of 2024.
As of 30 September 2024, the net stable funding ratio decreased 0.9 percentage points to 126.8%. Available stable
funding increased by USD 20.6bn to USD 903.4bn, mainly driven by higher customer deposits, largely due to currency
effects. Required stable funding increased by USD 21.3bn to USD 712.7bn, predominantly reflecting increases in trading
assets and lending assets, with the latter increase mainly driven by currency effects.

Credit Suisse. 3 Existing outstanding low-trigger additional tier 1 capital instruments qualify as going concern capital at the UBS AG consolidated level, as agreed with FINMA, until their first call date. As of their
first call date, these instruments are eligible to meet the gone concern requirements. 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 From 1 January 2023, the resolvability discount on the gone concern capital requirements for systemically
important banks (SIBs) has been replaced with reduced base gone concern capital requirements equivalent to 75% of the total going concern requirements (excluding countercyclical buffer requirements). 6 As of
July 2024, FINMA has the authority to impose a surcharge of up to 25% of the total going concern capital requirements should obstacles to an SIB’s resolvability be identified in future resolvability assessments.

Key metrics for the third quarter of 2024
The table below is based on Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) Basel III rules and IFRS Accounting
Standards.
During the third quarter of 2024, tier 1 capital increased by USD 1.9bn to USD 99.4bn. Common equity tier 1 (CET1)
capital increased by USD 0.8bn to USD 83.1bn, mainly due to an operating profit before tax of USD 1.7bn, partly offset
by additional accruals for capital returns to UBS Group AG of USD 1.0bn. Additional tier 1 (AT1) capital issued by the
Group and on lent to UBS AG increased by USD 1.1bn to USD 16.3bn, reflecting the issuance of new AT1 capital
instruments equivalent to USD 1.6bn and positive impacts from interest rate risk hedge, foreign currency translation and
other effects, partly offset by the call of AT1 capital instruments equivalent to USD 1.0bn.
Phase-in risk-weighted assets (RWA) increased by USD 10.7bn to USD 565.2bn during the third quarter of 2024, primarily
driven by increases in participation RWA and market risk RWA, partly offset by a decrease in credit and counterparty
credit risk RWA.
During the third quarter of 2024, the leverage ratio denominator (the LRD) increased by USD 22.6bn to USD 944.4bn,
driven by currency effects of USD 24.9bn, partly offset by asset size and other movements of USD 2.3bn. The asset size
movement was mainly driven by a decrease in cash and balances at central banks, as well as decreases in lending balances,
partly offset by increases in trading assets, securities financing transaction exposures, and derivative exposures.
Correspondingly, the phase-in CET1 capital ratio of UBS AG standalone decreased to 14.7% from 14.8%, reflecting the
increase in phase-in RWA, partly offset by the increase in CET1 capital. The firm’s Basel III leverage ratio decreased to
10.5% from 10.6%, reflecting the increase in the LRD, partly offset by the aforementioned increase in tier 1 capital.
The quarterly average liquidity coverage ratio (the LCR) of UBS AG standalone increased 12.7 percentage points to
282.3%, remaining above the prudential requirement communicated by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority
(FINMA). The movement in the quarterly average LCR was primarily driven by an increase in high-quality liquid assets
(HQLA) of USD 33.2bn to USD 170.2bn. This increase was substantially attributable to the effect of the merger of UBS AG
and Credit Suisse AG, with only 21 days of post-merger effect being included in the average LCR for the second quarter
of 2024. The increase in HQLA was partly offset by a USD 10.0bn increase in net cash outflows to USD 60.4bn,
substantially attributable to the effect of the merger of UBS AG and Credit Suisse AG, with only 21 days of post-merger
effect being included in the average LCR for the second quarter of 2024.
As of 30 September 2024, the net stable funding ratio decreased 2.1 percentage points to 100.4%, remaining above
the prudential requirement communicated by FINMA. Available stable funding decreased slightly by USD 1.6bn to
USD 446.4bn, mainly driven by lower customer deposits. Required stable funding increased by USD 7.6bn to
USD 444.9bn, mainly driven by higher trading assets, partly offset by lower lending assets.

Swiss systemically relevant bank going and gone concern requirements and information
The tables below provide details of the Swiss systemically relevant bank (SRB) RWA- and LRD-based going and gone
concern requirements and information as required by FINMA; details regarding eligible gone concern instruments are
also provided below.
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 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. As of 1 January 2024, the buffer requirement has been fully
phased in. The gone concern capital coverage ratio reflects how much gone concern capital is available to meet the gone
concern requirement. Outstanding high- and low-trigger loss-absorbing tier 2 capital instruments, non-Basel III-compliant
tier 2 capital instruments, and total loss-absorbing capacity-eligible unsecured debt instruments are eligible to meet gone
concern requirements until one year before maturity.
More information about the going and gone concern requirements is provided in the “UBS AG Standalone” section of
the 31 December 2023 Pillar 3 Report, available under “Pillar 3 disclosures” at

Merger of UBS Switzerland AG and Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG
On 1 July 2024, the merger of UBS Switzerland AG and Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG was completed, with
UBS Switzerland AG succeeding by operation of Swiss law to all rights and obligations of Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG and
becoming the direct or indirect shareholder of all of the former direct and indirect subsidiaries of Credit Suisse
(Schweiz) AG. UBS has accounted for the merger under IFRS Accounting Standards, including common control
accounting principles. IFRS Accounting Standards are the basis for Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS)
Basel III rules. Prior periods have not been restated. Under Swiss generally accepted accounting principles, UBS has initially
recognized the assets and liabilities retroactively as of 1 April 2024 on the basis of their previous book values.
The merger of UBS Switzerland AG and Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG resulted in an CHF 80.7bn increase in risk-weighted
assets (RWA), including the impact of the floor, and a CHF 10.8bn increase in common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital as of
the date of the merger. The liquidity coverage ratio (the LCR) increased, while the net stable funding ratio (the NSFR) of
UBS Switzerland AG standalone decreased in the third quarter of 2024, including the impact of the merger of UBS
Switzerland AG and Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG. Both the LCR and the NSFR were well above the regulatory requirements.

, for more information about the integration of Credit Suisse
Key metrics for the third quarter of 2024
The table below is based on BCBS Basel III rules and IFRS Accounting Standards.
During the third quarter of 2024, CET1 capital increased by CHF 9.4bn to CHF 22.0bn, mainly due to the merger of UBS
Switzerland AG and Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG, which resulted in an increase of CHF 10.8bn, and an operating profit of
CHF 1.2bn, partly offset by additional dividend accruals.
Total RWA increased by CHF 74.9bn to CHF 185.2bn, due to the merger of UBS Switzerland AG and Credit Suisse
(Schweiz) AG, which resulted in an CHF 80.7bn increase in RWA. Excluding that merger, RWA decreased by CHF 5.8bn,
mainly due to lower credit risk driven by negative net new loans.
The leverage ratio denominator (the LRD) increased by CHF 230.3bn to CHF 567.5bn, predominantly due to the merger
of UBS Switzerland AG and Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG, which resulted in a CHF 234.6bn increase in the LRD. Excluding
that merger, the LRD decreased by CHF 4.3bn, mainly due to a decrease in securities financing transactions, lending
balances and credit commitments.
The quarterly average LCR of UBS Switzerland AG increased 0.8 percentage points to 146.7%, remaining above the
prudential requirement communicated by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA). The movement in
the quarterly average LCR was primarily driven by a CHF 47.9bn increase in high-quality liquid assets (HQLA) to
CHF 126.0bn. This increase was substantially related to the contribution of the HQLA of Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG after
the merger of UBS Switzerland AG and Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG, which included funding received from UBS AG. This
increase in HQLA was partly offset by a CHF 32.4bn increase in net cash outflows to CHF 86.0bn, predominantly due to
net cash outflows from Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG, mainly related to customer deposits, lending assets and loan
commitments.
As of 30 September 2024, the NSFR decreased 1.4 percentage points to 134.7%, remaining above the prudential
requirement communicated by FINMA. Available stable funding increased by CHF 144.2bn to CHF 369.2bn,
predominantly driven by the merger of UBS Switzerland AG and Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG, mainly reflecting customer
deposits, regulatory capital and debt securities issued. Required stable funding increased by CHF 108.7bn to
CHF 274.0bn, substantially driven by the merger of UBS Switzerland AG and Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG, mainly reflecting
lending assets.

UBS Europe SE consolidated
Key metrics for the third quarter of 2024
The table below provides information about the regulatory capital components, capital ratios, leverage ratio and liquidity
of UBS Europe SE consolidated based on Basel Committee on Banking Supervision Pillar 1 requirements and in
accordance with EU regulatory rules and IFRS Accounting Standards.
During the third quarter of 2024, available capital was stable, and risk-weighted assets increased by EUR 0.2bn to
EUR 12.6bn, mainly driven by over-the-counter transactions and Lombard loans, partly offset by a decrease in exchange-
traded derivatives. Leverage ratio exposure decreased by EUR 0.6bn to EUR 50.1bn, mainly reflecting changes in balances
with central banks.
The average liquidity coverage ratio remained well above the regulatory requirements of 100% at 145.2%, with a
EUR 0.5bn decrease in high-quality liquid assets and a EUR 0.1bn decrease in total net cash outflows. The net stable
funding ratio decreased 2.2 percentage points to 127.4%, mainly reflecting a EUR 0.4bn decrease in available stable
funding as a result of a reduction in intercompany funding.

UBS Americas Holding LLC consolidated
Key metrics for the third quarter of 2024
The table below is based on Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) Pillar 1 requirements and in accordance
with US Basel III rules.
Effective 1 October 2023 and through 30 September 2024, UBS Americas Holding LLC was subject to a stress capital
buffer (an SCB) of 9.1%, in addition to the minimum capital requirements. That SCB was determined by the Federal
Reserve Board following the completion of the 2023 Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (the CCAR) based on
Dodd–Frank Act Stress Test (DFAST) results and planned future dividends. Based on the results of the 2024 CCAR, the
SCB for UBS Americas Holding LLC was adjusted to 9.3% effective 1 October 2024 and through 30 September 2025.
During the third quarter of 2024, common equity tier 1 capital increased by USD 0.3bn to USD 23.3bn, driven primarily
by operating profit and a decrease in deferred tax assets that arise from net operating losses. Risk-weighted assets (RWA)
increased by USD 0.7bn to USD 84.9bn, due to a USD 1.8bn increase in credit risk RWA, partly offset by a USD 1.1bn
decrease in market risk RWA. Leverage ratio exposure, calculated on an average basis, decreased by USD 8.1bn to
USD 197.6bn, primarily due to a decrease in financial assets not held for trading.
The average liquidity coverage ratio decreased by 17.6 percentage points to 130.1%, driven by an increase in net cash
outflows, partly offset by an increase in high-quality liquid assets from the addition of Credit Suisse Holdings (USA), Inc.,
following the reparenting thereof in June 2024. The average net stable funding ratio increased by 1.9 percentage points
to 137.3%. This was due to a USD 4.7bn increase in available stable funding, which was primarily driven by an increase
in regulatory capital due to the reparenting of Credit Suisse Holdings (USA), Inc., partly offset by a USD 2.3bn increase in
required stable funding, primarily due to an increase in other assets.

Credit Suisse International standalone
Key metrics for the third quarter of 2024
The table below is based on Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) Pillar 1 requirements and in accordance
with UK Prudential Regulatory Authority regulations and IFRS Accounting Standards.
During the third quarter of 2024, the common equity tier 1 capital of Credit Suisse International standalone increased by
USD 0.1bn to USD 12.9bn, primarily due to a reduction in capital deductions. Total capital increased by USD 0.1bn to
USD 14.1bn. Risk-weighted assets (RWA) decreased by USD 2.7bn to USD 17.0bn, driven by decreases in credit risk RWA
and market risk RWA due to a reduction in trading activity. Leverage ratio exposure decreased by USD 3.0bn to
USD 55.2bn, mainly driven by decreases in trading inventory, cash and derivatives.
The average liquidity coverage ratio was 367.2%, compared with 345.3% in the second quarter of 2024. The movement
was driven by an increase of USD 0.4bn in high-quality liquid assets, reflecting increases in treasury-controlled assets and
currency effects, and a reduction in net cash outflows of USD 0.2bn .
The net stable funding ratio (the NSFR) of Credit Suisse International standalone remained above the regulatory
requirement of 100%, at 182.9%, compared with 150.8% in the second quarter of 2024. The movement in the NSFR
was driven by a decrease of USD 3.5bn in required stable funding, mainly reflecting decrease s in derivative exposures,
trading inventory and unsecured lending. This was offset by a decrease of USD 1.8bn in available stable funding, mainly
driven by a decrease in long-term funding and capital.
