UBS reports 2Q25 net profit of USD 2.4bn and USD 4.1bn for 1H25 with integration remaining on track; invested assets reach USD 6.6trn (Ad hoc announcement pursuant to Article 53 of the SIX Exchange Regulation Listing Rules)
ZURICH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News: UBS (NYSE:UBS) (SWX:UBSN): 'We sustained robust momentum during a quarter that started with extreme volatility by staying close to our clients and executing on our integration plans. We also maintained a balance sheet for all seasons while delivering on our capital return plans. We are positioning for long term success by further enhancing our global capabilities, investing in our future infrastructure and AI, while actively engaging in the debate on future regulation in Switzerland. This allows us to fulfill our commitment to support all the communities where we live and work.' Sergio P. Ermotti, Group CEO 2Q25 PBT of USD 2.2bn and underlying 1 PBT of USD 2.7bn, net profit of USD 2.4bn, RoCET1 of 13.5% and underlying RoCET1 of 15.3%. Core businesses 2 increased combined underlying PBT by 25% YoY 1H25 PBT of USD 4.3bn and underlying PBT of USD 5.3bn, net profit of USD 4.1bn, RoCET1 of 11.6% and underlying RoCET1 of 13.3% Continued client momentum in a volatile environment supporting growth in Group invested assets, with Global Wealth Management 1H25 net new assets of USD 54.8bn. GWM 2Q25 transaction-based income +12% YoY and best second quarter in Global Markets with revenues up 25% YoY supported by record balances and revenues in Prime Brokerage Integration remains on track with one-third of client accounts booked in Switzerland migrated. Delivered further USD 0.7bn in exit rate gross cost saves bringing cumulative cost reductions to USD 9.1bn, or 70% of the USD ~13bn in expected gross saves Continued progress in Non-core and Legacy wind-down and legal entity structure simplification; NCL risk- weighted assets down by USD 1.5bn sequentially to USD 32.7bn Maintained strong capital position with 14.4% CET1 capital ratio and 4.4% CET1 leverage ratio. Our ability to generate capital is funding strategic investments and sustainable shareholder returns Delivering on our capital return plans for 2025, completed USD 0.5bn in share buybacks and plan to complete repurchase of up to USD 2.0bn in the second half of the year. Continued accruing for a double-digit growth in dividend Reliable partner for the Swiss economy, staying close to private clients and businesses with our balance sheet for all seasons and leading credit offering. Granted or renewed around CHF 40bn of loans during the quarter Positioning for long-term success by strengthening global capabilities and investing into future-ready infrastructure and tools, including Gen AI and cloud to enable secure, scalable delivery and boosting productivity. Meanwhile, actively engaging in debate on future regulatory requirements in Switzerland Group summary Strong financial performance In 2Q25, we reported PBT of USD 2,193m and underlying PBT of USD 2,683m, up 49% and 30% YoY, respectively, driven by growth in our core businesses, which increased their combined underlying pre-tax profits by 25% YoY. Net profit attributable to shareholders was USD 2,395m, up 111% YoY and included a net release of provisions and contingent liabilities of USD 427m related to the resolution of a legacy Credit Suisse cross-border matter and a net deferred tax benefit of USD 577m. Return on CET1 capital was 13.5%, or 15.3% on an underlying basis. Reported revenues were USD 12,112m, up 2% YoY. On an underlying basis, revenues increased by 4% to USD 11,546m. Underlying revenues from our core businesses increased 8%, reflecting the strength, scale and geographic diversification of our franchises and our ability to drive synergies across the Group. Underlying revenues in Non-core and Legacy division declined by USD 484m from 2Q24, mainly reflecting lower net gains on position exits as we significantly reduced NCL's portfolio through successful de-risking actions over the last year. Reported Group operating expenses decreased by 6% YoY to USD 9,756m. On an underlying basis, operating expenses decreased by 3% to USD 8,701m as we continued to execute on our integration and efficiency plans at pace. For the first half of 2025, we reported PBT of USD 4,325m and underlying PBT of USD 5,269m, driven by a 2% increase in underlying revenues and a 2% decline in underlying expenses. Net profit increased to USD 4,087m, with RoCET1 of 11.6% and underlying RoCET1 of 13.3%. Continued client momentum During the second quarter, clients continued to rely on UBS, valuing the breadth of our advice and global capabilities amid a challenging and unpredictable geopolitical and market environment. Group invested assets reached USD 6.6trn, up 8% QoQ driven by increases across Global Wealth Management, Asset Management and Personal & Corporate Banking. In GWM net new assets reached USD 23bn with strong generation in APAC, EMEA and Switzerland and robust performance in the Americas, where high inflows from existing clients mostly offset outflows from seasonal tax-related payments. Transactional activity during the quarter remained robust despite more muted sentiment among private clients, while institutional clients remained very active. In GWM, transaction-based income increased by 12% YoY with positive momentum across all regions. In the Investment Bank, Global Markets delivered a record second quarter with revenues of USD 2.3bn, up 25% YoY, tracking the exceptional levels of volatility early in the quarter. Higher revenues in Equities and FX once again reflect our ability to serve clients in a dynamic market environment, capturing growth opportunities in the areas of our strategic focus. Reliable partner for the Swiss economy Businesses and households in Switzerland benefit from our global reach, advice and expertise. Our balance sheet for all seasons gives them the stability they need while allowing us to remain a leading provider of credit to the economy. We have granted or renewed around CHF 40bn of loans during the quarter. Our conservative approach to risk and highly robust business model is reflected in the Group's loan-to-deposit ratio of 81% and cost of risk of only 10bps. Integration on track with strong progress on client account migrations in Switzerland We progressed our integration plans at pace during the quarter. We have now completed the migration of Credit Suisse client accounts booked outside of Switzerland to the UBS platform and executed the first main wave of migrations in Switzerland, having now transferred approximately one-third of targeted client accounts. We remain on track to complete the Swiss booking center migrations by the end of the first quarter of 2026. Additionally, we have made substantial progress on the simplification of our legal entity structure in the US and Europe in the quarter. Delivering on cost savings plans Through disciplined execution of our cost-reduction work we delivered an additional USD 0.7bn in gross cost saves in the quarter by further downsizing Non-core and Legacy's expense base and realizing cost synergies in the core businesses. To date we have decommissioned around 700 applications, or 56% of NCL's initial stack. We have already achieved 70% of our plan and are well on track to deliver around USD 13bn in Group-wide annualized exit rate gross cost savings by end-2026. As in previous quarters, we continued to exit positions in NCL leading to a USD 1.5bn RWA reduction in 2Q25 and bringing RWA to USD 32.7bn at the end of June. With 83% of its initial books closed, NCL remains on track to achieve its ambition to close over 95% of them by end-2026 and reduce RWA below USD 22bn. Maintained strong capital position In the second quarter, we maintained a strong capital position with a CET1 capital ratio of 14.4% and a CET1 leverage ratio of 4.4%. Both are in excess of our guidance of ~14% and >4.0%, respectively, and provide a solid capital buffer to requirements during the integration, while allowing us to self-fund strategic investments and return capital to shareholders. Commitment to capital returns In the second quarter, we continued to accrue for a double-digit increase in the ordinary dividend per share, to be paid out in 2026 and completed USD 0.5bn in share repurchases. In the first half of 2025 we have completed USD 1bn in share repurchases and plan to complete repurchase of up to USD 2bn in the second half of 2025. This plan continues to be subject to UBS maintaining a CET1 capital ratio target of around 14% and achieving its financial targets and is consistent with UBS's previously communicated plans and conservative approach. We will communicate on our 2026 capital returns ambitions with our fourth quarter and full-year financial results for 2025. Investing for long-term growth We remain focused on strengthening our global capabilities by investing into our businesses and technology to capture long-term growth opportunities. We are also well underway on our technology integration journey in 2025, reducing complexity and costs through infrastructure and application decommissioning. With 1,154 apps decommissioned to date, or ~40% of total in scope, we have surpassed the 1,000 business applications decommissioned milestone. We have also turned off over half of the servers in scope (60,000) and worked through 28PB of data. We are unlocking the transformational potential of Gen AI. In the second quarter, we have further rolled out AI-powered tools to employees, including coding tools for our developers to enable faster, more secure and scalable delivery of solutions with a targeted 15% efficiency gain. After finishing the implementation of 55,000 M365 Copilot licenses earlier this year we are planning to roll-out additional licenses to ensure all of our employees across the firm have access to the tool. Additionally, our in-house AI assistant, Red, which gives users intelligent access to UBS products, research, and CIO reports, is currently rolled out to 52,000 employees with general availability planned for the first half of 2026. Our investments in this space continue to translate into increased usage of Gen AI tools across the organization with 8m prompts across all our tools in the quarter, a four-fold increase since year-end 2024. We are also progressing on the execution of our large-scale, transformational AI initiatives designed to have firm-wide impact and strengthen our foundations, enhancing client service and increasing productivity across the Group. In addition, we are continually assessing and building further opportunities with over 280 AI use cases now live, up ~10% from 1Q25. To support in the adoption of our AI capabilities and foster a culture of continuous learning across the organization, we are building a strong ecosystem across the firm including over 500 AI Champions and 100 AI Ambassadors. Later this year around 250 of our senior leaders, including the Group Executive Board, will participate in an AI Senior Leadership Journey at the Saïd Business School, University of Oxford. The program will focus on building an AI-enabled organization, driving transformation, and ensuring ethical governance. This initiative is designed to equip our leaders with the strategic insights needed to further embed AI across the firm and lead the development of an AI-enabled workforce. Outlook The third quarter started with strong market performance in risk assets, particularly international equities, combined with a weak US dollar. Investor sentiment remains broadly constructive, tempered by persistent macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties. Against this backdrop, our client conversations and deal pipelines indicate a high level of readiness among investors and corporates to deploy capital, as conviction around the macro outlook strengthens. For the third quarter, we expect Global Wealth Management's net interest income (NII) and Personal & Corporate Banking's NII in Swiss francs to be broadly stable. In US dollar terms, this translates to a sequential low single-digit percentage increase. We also expect trading and transactional activity to reflect more normalized seasonal patterns and activity levels compared to the same quarter a year ago, particularly in Global Wealth Management's transaction-based revenues and the Investment Bank's Global Markets performance. Pull-to-par revenues 3 are expected to be around USD 0.4bn, partly mitigating the expected USD 1.1bn in integration-related expenses. We remain focused on actively engaging with our clients, helping them to navigate a complex environment while executing on our growth and integration plans. We are confident in our ability to deliver on our 2025 and 2026 financial targets, leveraging the power of our diversified business model. 3 Pull-to-par revenues are revenues recognized when fair value reductions taken on financial instruments acquired as part of the Credit Suisse transaction through the required purchase price allocation (PPA) unwind as the instruments approach their maturity.

Cautionary statement regarding forward-looking statements This news release contains statements that constitute 'forward-looking statements', including but 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 or intentions to achieve climate, sustainability and other social objectives. 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 ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, as well as the continuing Russia–Ukraine war. UBS's acquisition of the Credit Suisse Group has 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 than expected. Following the failure of Credit Suisse, Switzerland is considering significant changes to its capital, resolution and regulatory regime, which, if adopted, would significantly increase our capital requirements or impose other costs on UBS. 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; (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 to meet requirements for debt eligible for total loss-absorbing capacity (TLAC); (vi) changes in 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, 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 regulatory 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 2024.

Primerica Household Budget Index™ Data: Middle-Income Purchasing Power Held Steady in June
DULUTH, Ga., July 30, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The latest Primerica Household Budget Index™ (HBI™) data, a monthly economic metric that examines how inflation and wage trends impact the ability of middle-income families to afford life's everyday necessities, was 100.0% in June, a 0.1% decrease from a month ago and up 1.3% from a year ago. Purchasing power was relatively unchanged in June. The Consumer Price Index (CPI), which measures inflation for a comprehensive basket of goods for all U.S. households, came in at 2.7% in June, its highest reading since January. Adjusting the CPI to narrow the impact of inflation to focus specifically on middle-income households and necessity items as used in the HBI™ metric (food, utilities, gas, auto insurance, and health care) increases it to an estimated 3.1%. For more information on the Primerica Household Budget Index™ metric, visit About the Primerica Household Budget Index™ (HBI™) Data The Primerica Household Budget Index™ (HBI™) data is constructed monthly on behalf of Primerica by its chief economic consultant Amy Crews Cutts, PhD, CBE®. The index measures the purchasing power of middle-income families with household incomes from $30,000 to $130,000 and is developed using data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the U.S. Bureau of Census, and the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. The index looks at the cost of necessities including food, gas, auto insurance, utilities, and health care and earned income to track differences in inflation and wage growth. Primerica's HBI™ metric was created to fill an information void around the economy's impact on middle-income families. Metrics like the Consumer Price Index (CPI) measure overall inflation but don't offer a clear picture of how it impacts middle-income Americans. Middle-income households play a key role in driving consumer spending and the overall economy as they account for over 55% of the U.S. population. The purchasing power of middle-income families are a key barometer of real-time economic trends. Understanding middle-income households' purchasing power is important because it shows whether they are gaining financial ground or falling behind. The HBI™ data uses January 2019 as its baseline, with the value set to 100% at that point in time. Periodically, prior HBI™ values may be modified due to revisions in the CPI series and Consumer Expenditure Survey releases by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Beginning with the December 2024 release of the index, the expenditure weights have been updated to the most recent (Q1 2024) data and auto insurance has been added to the group of necessity items.
