 Appendix 
 

 Notes  42  General notes  Throughout this presentation rounding differences may occur  Results excluding certain items included in our reported results are non-GAAP financial measures  Our cost base target is measured using adjusted operating expenses at constant 2022 FX rates and on constant perimeter, before impact of Securitized Products transaction and other divestments  Unless otherwise noted, all CET1 capital, CET1 ratio, CET1 leverage ratio, Tier 1 leverage ratio, risk-weighted assets and leverage exposure figures shown in these presentations are as of the end of the respective period  Specific notes  † Regulatory capital is calculated as the average of 13.5% of RWA and 4.25% of leverage exposure and return on regulatory capital, a non-GAAP financial measure, is calculated using income/(loss) after tax and assumes a tax rate of 25% from 2020 onward. For the Investment Bank, return on regulatory capital is based on US dollar denominated numbers. Return on regulatory capital excluding certain items included in our reported results is calculated using results excluding such items, applying the same methodology. Adjusted return on regulatory capital excluding certain items included in our reported results is calculated using results excluding such items, applying the same methodology.  ‡ Return on tangible equity, a non-GAAP financial measure, is calculated as annualized net income attributable to shareholders divided by average tangible shareholders’ equity. Tangible shareholders’ equity, a non-GAAP financial measure, is calculated by deducting goodwill and other intangible assets from total shareholders’ equity as presented in our balance sheet.  Abbreviations  AFG = Asia Pacific Financing Group; APAC = Asia Pacific; avg = average; B3R = Basel III Reform; BCBS = Basel Committee on Banking Supervision; BIS = Bank for International Settlements; bn = billion; bps = basis points; CCyB = Countercyclical buffer; CET1 = Common Equity Tier 1; CHF = Swiss Franc; CRU = Capital Release Unit; CS = Credit Suisse; CtB = Change the Bank; CVA = Credit Valuation Adjustment; EEA = European Economic Area; EM = Emerging Markets; EU = European Union; FINMA = Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority FINMA; FinSA = Swiss Federal Act on Financial Services; FRTB = Fundamental review of the trading book; FTE = Full-time equivalent; FX = Foreign Exchange; GAAP = Generally Accepted Accounting Principles; GDP = Gross Domestic Product; GTS = Global Trading Solutions; IB = Investment Bank; IRB = Internal ratings-based; k = thousand; LE = Leverage exposure; mn = million; NCU = Non-Core Unit; OpRisk = Operational Risk; PCL = Provision for credit losses; RoRC = Return on Regulatory Capital; RoTE = Return on tangible equity; RWA = Risk-weighted assets; SP = Securitized Products; vs. = versus; UK = United Kingdom; USD = United States Dollar; WM = Wealth Management

 Notes  42  General notes  Throughout this presentation rounding differences may occur  Results excluding certain items included in our reported results are non-GAAP financial measures  Our cost base target is measured using adjusted operating expenses at constant 2022 FX rates and on constant perimeter, before impact of Securitized Products transaction and other divestments  Unless otherwise noted, all CET1 capital, CET1 ratio, CET1 leverage ratio, Tier 1 leverage ratio, risk-weighted assets and leverage exposure figures shown in these presentations are as of the end of the respective period  Specific notes  † Regulatory capital is calculated as the average of 13.5% of RWA and 4.25% of leverage exposure and return on regulatory capital, a non-GAAP financial measure, is calculated using income/(loss) after tax and assumes a tax rate of 25% from 2020 onward. For the Investment Bank, return on regulatory capital is based on US dollar denominated numbers. Return on regulatory capital excluding certain items included in our reported results is calculated using results excluding such items, applying the same methodology. Adjusted return on regulatory capital excluding certain items included in our reported results is calculated using results excluding such items, applying the same methodology.  ‡ Return on tangible equity, a non-GAAP financial measure, is calculated as annualized net income attributable to shareholders divided by average tangible shareholders’ equity.
