Recent developments
Key accounting and financial reporting changes
Transfer of shared services functions to UBS Business Solutions AG
In the second quarter of 2017, we transferred shared services functions in Switzerland from UBS AG to UBS Business Solutions AG, our Group service company and a wholly owned subsidiary of UBS Group AG. The implementation of UBS Business Solutions AG, which is expected to enable us to maintain operational continuity of critical services if we become subject to recovery or resolution measures, represents an important step toward improved resolvability and is in line with global guidance defined by the Financial Stability Board.
Following the transfer, UBS Business Solutions AG charges other legal entities within the Group for services provided, including a markup on costs incurred. As with other transfers to our Group service company, this transfer to UBS Business Solutions AG has no effect on the reported results of our business divisions.
The transfer of shared services functions in Switzerland did not have a material effect on the UBS Group AG consolidated financial statements. However, this transfer of shared services within the Group resulted in a decrease in net profit for UBS AG consolidated of approximately CHF 50 million under International Financial Reporting Standards and a decrease in net profit for UBS AG standalone of approximately CHF 40 million under Swiss generally accepted accounting principles in the second quarter of 2017. The effect of the transfer on the risk-weighted assets and leverage ratio denominator of UBS AG consolidated and UBS AG standalone was not material.
We expect to complete the transfer of shared services functions in the UK in the fourth quarter of 2017.
Classification of financial assets containing prepayment features with negative compensation under IFRS 9, Financial Instruments
In April 2017, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued the Exposure Draft Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation, which proposed an amendment to IFRS 9, Financial Instruments that would allow amortized cost accounting for instruments that provide for two-way compensation if a prepayment occurs. These features are common in Swiss private mortgages and corporate loans.
In July 2017, the IASB approved the amendment, subject to some refinements, which allows UBS to continue measuring Swiss private mortgages and corporate loans at amortized cost upon adoption of IFRS 9 on 1 January 2018.
® Refer to “Note 1 Basis of accounting” in the “Consolidated financial statements” section of this report and to the “Significant accounting and financial reporting changes” section of our Annual Report 2016 for more information
Regulatory and legal developments
Consultation on tax law amendments related to loss-absorbing instruments
The Swiss Federal Department of Finance has commenced a consultation period with respect to proposed amendments to the participation relief provisions under current Swiss tax law that, if enacted, would reduce the additional tax burden on debt issuances by bank top holding companies. The proposed tax law changes would permit systemically important banking groups, such as UBS, to issue debt directly from their holding companies, as is required under the international capital framework and the Swiss Capital Adequacy Ordinance, without incurring significant corporate tax disadvantages, as is the case today under Swiss tax law. The consultation period ends on 29 September 2017.
® Refer to “The legal structure of UBS Group” section of our Annual Report 2016 for more information on future issuances of AT1 instruments and TLAC-eligible debt
Swiss corporate tax reform
Following the rejection of the Swiss corporate tax reform by popular referendum in February 2017, the Swiss Federal Council issued a revised proposal in June 2017. The new proposal has been modified in response to the referendum outcome, while maintaining the overall objective of the original reform proposals that seek to align the respective cantonal corporate tax regimes with international standards by, among other things, eliminating reduced holding company tax rates and other privileges. A consultation draft is expected to be issued by September 2017. The effect of the proposed reform on UBS will depend on the final form of the federal legislation and the cantonal implementation of the reforms.
Automatic exchange of information
In June 2017, the Swiss Federal Council adopted a proposal to extend the introduction of the automatic exchange of financial account information (AEI) to 41 additional states and territories, thereby covering most of the G20 and OECD member jurisdictions. Subject to approval by the Swiss Parliament, implementation is planned for 2018, with the first exchange of information expected in 2019 based on 2018 data. AEI between Switzerland and all EU member states and a number of other countries took effect on 1 January 2017, with the first exchange of information beginning in 2018 based on 2017 data. We have experienced outflows of cross-border client assets as a result of changes in local tax regimes or their enforcement.

Swiss Federal Council proposes introduction of gone concern requirements for domestically focused systemically important banks
In June 2017, the Swiss Federal Council concluded its biennial review of systemically important banks (SIBs) in Switzerland and indicated that the Swiss regulatory approach is suitable to reduce the risk of SIBs and is comparable to international standards. Nevertheless, the Federal Council proposed to introduce gone concern requirements for domestically focused systemically important banks. The gone concern requirements would be conceptually similar to those in effect since July 2016 for the two largest Swiss banks, including UBS. However, they would be limited to 40% of the going concern capital requirements, would be phased in over seven years and could be met by a cantonal guarantee or similar mechanism. The Federal Council instructed the Swiss Federal Department of Finance to prepare a consultation draft by the end of February 2018.
UK begins formal negotiations to withdraw from the EU
Formal negotiations between the UK and EU have commenced following the UK´s submission of its notice to leave the EU under Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union. The UK is expected to leave the EU in March 2019, subject to possible extension. Any future limitations on providing financial services from our UK operations into the EU that could arise following the UK´s exit from the EU may require us to implement potentially significant changes to our operations in the UK and to our legal entity structure.
European Market Infrastructure Regulation under review in the EU
The European Commission (EC) has presented two sets of targeted amendments to the European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR), which regulates over-the-counter derivatives, central counterparties and trade repositories. In the first package, the proposed reforms aim to expand the definition of financial counterparty subject to clearing and margining obligations, revise the clearing threshold calculation, improve access to clearing services, simplify reporting obligations, improve the transparency and quality of trade repository data and harmonize risk mitigation techniques for non-cleared over-the-counter derivative contracts.
In the second package, the EC has proposed to tighten the supervision of central counterparties (CCPs) at the European level by granting enhanced powers to the European Securities and Markets Authority, the European Central Bank and the EC. Additionally, the EC proposes to classify non-EU CCPs according to their systemic importance and to calibrate rules accordingly. A limited number of non-EU CCPs may be deemed of such systemic importance that they would be required to establish themselves in the EU. The fragmentation of market liquidity that could result from potential relocations would likely increase clearing costs.
Both proposals are subject to change during the EU legislative procedure.
US Department of Labor fiduciary rule becomes effective
The US Department of Labor (DOL) fiduciary rule became effective on 9 June 2017. The rule remains under review by the DOL, and the effective dates of some requirements and conditions to exemptions have been deferred to January 2018. The rule significantly expands the circumstances that cause a person to become a fiduciary subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) in relation to corporate and individual retirement plans. Wealth Management Americas has implemented changes to its compensation programs for financial advisors in relation to retirement plan accounts as well as to the product offerings for these plans. These changes are intended to comply with the rule while minimizing disruption to clients until all aspects of the rule become final. The effects of the DOL fiduciary rule on the financial performance of our business remain uncertain.
US regulatory reform
In the US, several initiatives have been launched with the aim to reduce the burden of some of the regulatory changes that were implemented following the financial crisis. These initiatives propose significant changes to a number of aspects of post-financial crisis regulation, including relaxation of prudential standards and enhanced capital requirements for small and medium-sized financial institutions, modification or repeal of resolution authority under Title II of the Dodd-Frank Act, modification or repeal of the Volcker Rule, consideration of or providing for an exclusion from enhanced prudential standards for firms that elect and meet a leverage ratio-based test, modification of the authorities of the Financial Stability Oversight Council and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and changes to numerous other aspects of financial services regulation. There are significant differences among the various proposals. It is unclear which, if any, of these initiatives will be enacted and what effects any such changes would have on UBS or its competitive position.
Launch of the FX Global Code
In May 2017, the FX Global Code was officially launched. The Global Code was developed by a partnership between central banks and market participants from 16 jurisdictions. It is intended to provide a common set of guidelines to promote the integrity and effective functioning of the wholesale foreign exchange market. The Global Code does not impose legal or regulatory obligations, nor is it a substitute for existing regulation. UBS endorses the publication of the FX Global Code. We have strongly supported the initiative and have been actively involved in the development of the FX Global Code.

Group performance
Results: 2Q17 vs 2Q16
Profit before tax increased by CHF 13 million or 1% to CHF 1,502 million, driven by a reduction in operating expenses, largely offset by lower operating income. Operating income decreased by CHF 135 million or 2%, mainly reflecting a CHF 182 million decrease in combined net interest and trading income and CHF 122 million lower other income, partly offset by CHF 208 million higher net fee and commission income. Operating expenses decreased by CHF 148 million or 3%, primarily driven by CHF 178 million lower general and administrative expenses, partly offset by a CHF 29 million increase in personnel expenses.
In addition to reporting our results in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), we report
adjusted results that exclude items that management believes are not
representative of the underlying performance of our businesses. Such adjusted
results are non-GAAP financial measures as defined by US Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations. For the purpose of determining adjusted
results for the second quarter of 2017, we excluded a gain of
CHF 107 million on sale of financial assets available for sale, net
foreign currency translation losses of CHF 22 million and net
restructuring expenses of CHF 258 million. For the second quarter of 2016,
we excluded a gain of CHF 123 million on sale of financial assets
available for sale, gains on sales of real estate of CHF 120 million, net
foreign currency translation losses of CHF 26 million, losses on sales of
subsidiaries and businesses of CHF 23 million and net restructuring
expenses of CHF 377 million.
On this adjusted basis, profit before tax for the second quarter of 2017 was broadly unchanged at CHF 1,675 million.
Operating income: 2Q17 vs 2Q16
Total operating income was CHF 7,269 million compared with CHF 7,404 million. On an adjusted basis, total operating income decreased by CHF 26 million to CHF 7,184 million, mainly reflecting a decrease of CHF 182 million in combined net interest and trading income and CHF 39 million higher net credit loss expenses, largely offset by a CHF 208 million increase in net fee and commission income.

Net interest and trading income
Total combined net interest and trading income decreased by CHF 182 million to CHF 2,873 million, mainly due to lower net interest and trading income in the Investment Bank and in Corporate Center – Group Asset and Liability Management (Group ALM), partly offset by an increase in net interest income in Wealth Management Americas.
In Wealth Management, net interest income decreased by CHF 14 million to CHF 568 million, as higher deposit revenues, driven by higher short-term US dollar interest rates, were more than offset by a decrease in treasury-related income from Group ALM, reflecting higher funding costs for long-term debt that contributes to total loss-absorbing capacity (TLAC) and lower banking book interest income. Net trading income increased by CHF 31 million to CHF 184 million, mainly due to increased client activity, most notably in Asia Pacific.
In Wealth Management Americas, net interest income increased by CHF 70 million to CHF 418 million, driven by higher short-term US dollar interest rates and by growth in loan balances. This was partly offset by a CHF 12 million decrease in net trading income.
In Personal & Corporate Banking, net interest income decreased by CHF 33 million to CHF 525 million, mainly as a result of lower treasury-related income from Group ALM, reflecting higher funding costs for long-term debt that contributes to TLAC and lower banking book interest income. This was partly offset by a CHF 5 million increase in net trading income.
In the Investment Bank, net interest and trading income declined by CHF 100 million, largely due to a CHF 161 million decrease in Foreign Exchange, Rates and Credit, mainly reflecting lower client activity and low market volatility levels compared with a strong prior-year quarter. This was partly offset by an increase of CHF 50 million in Equities, primarily due to higher revenues in Derivatives.
In Corporate Center, net interest and trading income decreased by CHF 126 million, mainly in Group ALM, primarily reflecting a negative effect from accounting asymmetries related to economic hedges.
Net fee and commission income
Net fee and commission income was CHF 4,295 million compared with CHF 4,087 million.
Portfolio management and advisory fees increased by CHF 139 million to CHF 2,107 million, primarily in Wealth Management Americas, mainly due to increased invested assets in managed accounts.
Equity underwriting fees increased by CHF 87 million to CHF 224 million, mainly in the Investment Bank, reflecting higher revenues from private transactions as well as from public offerings.

Credit loss expense / recovery
Total net credit loss expenses were CHF 46 million compared with CHF 7 million, mainly reflecting higher expenses in Personal & Corporate Banking, driven by a small number of newly impaired corporate client positions across a range of sectors.
® Refer to the “Risk management and control” section of this report for more information on credit risk
Other income
Other income was CHF 147 million compared with CHF 269 million. The second quarter of 2017 included a gain of CHF 107 million on the sale of our remaining investment in IHS Markit and net foreign currency translation losses of CHF 22 million. The prior-year quarter included a gain of CHF 123 million on the sale of our investment in Visa Europe, gains on sales of real estate of CHF 120 million, net foreign currency translation losses of CHF 26 million and losses on sales of subsidiaries and businesses of CHF 23 million. Excluding these items, adjusted other income decreased by CHF 13 million.

1 Consists of restructuring expenses. Refer to “Note 16 Changes in organization and disposals” in the “Consolidated financial statements” section of this report for more information. 2 Adjusted results are non-GAAP financial measures as defined by SEC regulations. 3 Financial advisor compensation consists of grid-based compensation based directly on compensable revenues generated by financial advisors and supplemental compensation calculated on the basis of financial advisor productivity, firm tenure, assets and other variables. It also includes expenses related to compensation commitments with financial advisors entered into at the time of recruitment that are subject to vesting requirements. 4 Consists of expenses related to contractors, social security, pension and other post-employment benefit plans and other personnel expenses. Refer to “Note 5 Personnel expenses” in the “Consolidated financial statements” section of this report for more information. |

Operating expenses: 2Q17 vs 2Q16
Total operating expenses decreased by CHF 148 million or 3% to CHF 5,767 million. Excluding net restructuring expenses of CHF 258 million compared with CHF 377 million, adjusted total operating expenses decreased by CHF 29 million or 1% to CHF 5,509 million.
® Refer to “Note 16 Changes in organization and disposals” in the “Consolidated financial statements” section of this report for more information on restructuring expenses
Personnel expenses
Personnel expenses increased by CHF 29 million to CHF 4,014 million on a reported basis and by CHF 104 million to CHF 3,897 million on an adjusted basis.
Financial advisor compensation in Wealth Management Americas increased by CHF 81 million, reflecting higher compensable revenue and changes to their grid-based compensation, partly offset by lower expenses for compensation commitments with recruited financial advisors.
Adjusted other personnel expenses increased by CHF 34 million, largely due to higher social security costs.
Adjusted expenses for salaries and variable compensation decreased by CHF 11 million, mainly reflecting lower salary expenses, partly offset by higher expenses for variable compensation.
® Refer to “Note 5 Personnel expenses” in the “Consolidated financial statements” section of this report for more information
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses decreased by CHF 178 million to CHF 1,488 million on a reported basis and by CHF 134 million to CHF 1,347 million on an adjusted basis. The decrease in adjusted expenses was mainly driven by CHF 63 million lower net expenses for provisions for litigation, regulatory and similar matters and a CHF 53 million decrease in professional fees. In addition, the second quarter of 2017 included a UK bank levy credit of CHF 46 million related to prior years.
We believe that the industry continues to operate in an environment in which expenses associated with litigation, regulatory and similar matters will remain elevated for the foreseeable future and we continue to be exposed to a number of significant claims and regulatory matters. The outcome of many of these matters, the timing of a resolution and the potential effects of resolutions on our future business, financial results or financial condition are extremely difficult to predict.
® Refer to “Note 6 General and administrative expenses” in the “Consolidated financial statements” section of this report for more information
® Refer to “Note 14 Provisions and contingent liabilities” in the “Consolidated financial statements” section of this report and to “Material legal and regulatory risks arise in the conduct of our business” in the “Risk factors” section of our Annual Report 2016 for more information on litigation, regulatory and similar matters
Depreciation, impairment and amortization
Depreciation and impairment of property, equipment and software was CHF 249 million compared with CHF 240 million, mainly reflecting higher depreciation expenses related to leasehold improvements and internally generated capitalized software.
Tax: 2Q17 vs 2Q16
We recognized an income tax expense of CHF 327 million for the second quarter of 2017 compared with an income tax expense of CHF 376 million for the second quarter of 2016.
The current tax expense was CHF 194 million compared with CHF 227 million, approximately half of which was attributable to UBS Switzerland AG in both periods.
The deferred tax expense was CHF 133 million compared with CHF 149 million, both mainly relating to the amortization of deferred tax assets previously recognized in relation to Swiss tax losses carried forward and deductible temporary differences to reflect their offset against profits for the quarter.
We currently expect the full-year 2017 tax rate, excluding any effects from reassessment of deferred tax assets expected during the second half of the year as part of our annual business planning process, to be marginally higher than the year-to-date effective tax rate of 22%. This also excludes any impact of US corporate tax reform or other statutory tax rate changes that could be enacted during the year.

Group performance
Total comprehensive income attributable to shareholders: 2Q17 vs 2Q16
Total comprehensive income attributable to shareholders was CHF 89 million compared with CHF 1,151 million. Net profit attributable to shareholders was CHF 1,174 million compared with CHF 1,034 million, while other comprehensive income (OCI) attributable to shareholders was negative CHF 1,086 million compared with positive CHF 117 million.
In the second quarter of 2017, foreign currency translation OCI was negative CHF 971 million, primarily resulting from the 4% weakening of the US dollar against the Swiss franc. OCI related to foreign currency translation was positive CHF 334 million in the same quarter last year.
OCI associated with financial assets classified as available for sale was negative CHF 115 million compared with negative CHF 39 million and mainly reflected the reclassification of net gains from OCI to the income statement, predominantly due to the sale of our remaining investment in IHS Markit.
OCI related to own credit on financial liabilities designated at fair value was negative CHF 73 million compared with negative CHF 157 million and mainly reflected tightening credit spreads.
OCI related to cash flow hedges was negative CHF 35 million, mainly reflecting a decrease in unrealized gains on hedging derivatives resulting from increases in long-term interest rates. In the second quarter of 2016, OCI related to cash flow hedges was positive CHF 181 million.
Defined benefit plan OCI was positive CHF 108 million compared with negative CHF 202 million. We recorded net pre-tax OCI gains of CHF 130 million related to our non-Swiss pension plans and net pre-tax OCI losses related to the Swiss pension plan of CHF 23 million.
® Refer to the “Statement of comprehensive income” in the “Consolidated financial statements” section of this report for more information
® Refer to “Note 26 Pension and other post-employment benefit plans” in the “Consolidated financial statements” section of our Annual Report 2016 for more information on other comprehensive income related to defined benefit plans
Sensitivity to interest rate movements
As of 30 June 2017, we estimate that a parallel shift in yield curves by +100 basis points could lead to a combined increase in annual net interest income of approximately CHF 0.7 billion in Wealth Management, Wealth Management Americas and Personal & Corporate Banking. Of this increase, approximately CHF 0.3 billion would result from changes in US dollar interest rates.
The immediate effect on shareholders’ equity of such a shift in yield curves would be a decrease of approximately CHF 1.5 billion recognized in OCI, of which approximately CHF 1.3 billion would result from changes in US dollar interest rates. Since the majority of this effect on shareholders’ equity is related to cash flow hedge OCI, which is not recognized for the purposes of calculating regulatory capital, the immediate effect on regulatory capital would be an increase of approximately CHF 0.3 billion, primarily related to the estimated effect on pension fund assets and liabilities.
The aforementioned estimates are based on an immediate increase in interest rates, equal across all currencies and relative to implied forward rates applied to our banking book and financial assets available for sale. These estimates further assume no change to balance sheet size and structure, constant foreign exchange rates and no specific management action.
Net profit attributable to
non-controlling interests:
2Q17 vs 2Q16
Net profit attributable to non-controlling interests was CHF 1 million compared with CHF 79 million. For the remainder of 2017, we currently expect to attribute approximately CHF 25 million to non-controlling interests, all in the fourth quarter. From 2018, we expect net profit attributable to non-controlling interests to be less than CHF 10 million per year.
Key figures and personnel
Return on tangible equity: 2Q17 vs 2Q16
The annualized return on tangible equity (RoTE) was 10.3% compared with 8.9%. On an adjusted basis, the annualized RoTE was 11.4% compared with 10.1%.
14
Cost / income ratio: 2Q17 vs 2Q16
The cost / income ratio was 78.8% compared with 79.8%. On an adjusted basis, the cost / income ratio was 76.2% compared with 76.7%.
Common equity tier 1 capital ratio: 2Q17 vs 1Q17
Our fully applied common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio decreased 0.6 percentage points to 13.5% as of 30 June 2017, reflecting an increase in risk-weighted assets (RWA) of CHF 15 billion, partly offset by a CHF 0.6 billion increase in CET1 capital.
® Refer to the “Capital management” section of this report for more information
Risk-weighted assets: 2Q17 vs 1Q17
During the second quarter of 2017, our fully applied RWA increased by CHF 15 billion to CHF 237 billion. Credit risk RWA increased by CHF 10 billion, primarily due to methodology, policy changes and model updates of CHF 14 billion, partly offset by a reduction in regulatory add-ons of CHF 2 billion. Market risk RWA increased by CHF 4 billion, primarily reflecting asset size and other movements.
® Refer to the “Capital management” section of this report for more information
Going concern leverage ratio: 2Q17 vs 1Q17
Our fully applied going concern leverage ratio increased 0.1 percentage points to 4.7%, reflecting a decrease of CHF 20 billion in the leverage ratio denominator (LRD) and an increase of CHF 0.4 billion in going concern capital.
® Refer to the “Capital management” section of this report for more information
Leverage ratio denominator: 2Q17 vs 1Q17
During the second quarter of 2017, our fully applied LRD decreased by CHF 20 billion to CHF 861 billion, mainly reflecting currency effects of CHF 16 billion, asset size and other movements of CHF 3 billion and incremental netting and collateral mitigation of CHF 2 billion.

Personnel: 2Q17 vs 1Q17
We employed 59,470 personnel as of 30 June 2017, a net increase of 54 compared with 31 March 2017. Corporate Center – Services personnel increased by 363, primarily due to higher staffing levels for strategic and regulatory initiatives. Wealth Management personnel decreased by 108, primarily as a result of cost reduction programs. In addition, Investment Bank personnel and Personal & Corporate Banking personnel decreased by 103 and 60, respectively.
Results: 6M17 vs 6M16
Profit before tax increased by CHF 725 million or 29% to CHF 3,192 million. Operating income increased by CHF 564 million or 4%, mainly reflecting CHF 468 million higher net fee and commission income and a CHF 229 million increase in combined net interest and trading income. Operating expenses decreased by CHF 161 million or 1%, largely driven by CHF 336 million lower general and administrative expenses.
On an adjusted basis, profit before tax increased by CHF 571 million or 19%, driven by higher operating income.
Adjusted operating income increased by CHF 550 million or 4%, mainly reflecting CHF 468 million higher net fee and commission income, primarily due to CHF 213 million higher underwriting fees, largely in the Investment Bank, and a CHF 211 million increase in portfolio management and advisory fees, mainly in Wealth Management Americas. Furthermore, combined net interest and trading income increased by CHF 229 million, primarily in Wealth Management Americas and in the Investment Bank, partly offset by a decrease in Personal & Corporate Banking. This was partly offset by a CHF 110 million decrease in adjusted other income, mainly due to lower gains on sales of financial assets available for sale.
Adjusted operating expenses decreased by CHF 21 million, primarily as the first six months of 2017 included a CHF 71 million UK bank levy credit related to prior years, CHF 69 million lower net expenses for provisions for litigation, regulatory and similar matters and a CHF 67 million decrease in professional fees. This was largely offset by a CHF 159 million increase in financial advisor compensation in Wealth Management Americas and higher expenses for variable compensation.
Outlook
Improved investor sentiment and enhanced confidence have translated into improvements in wealth management client activity levels. However, the persistence of low volatility levels and seasonality factors may continue to affect overall client activity. In addition, while we expect the global economic recovery to strengthen, geopolitical tensions and macroeconomic uncertainty still pose risks to client sentiment. Low and negative interest rates, particularly in Switzerland and the eurozone, put pressure on net interest margins, which may be partially offset by the effect of a further normalization of US monetary policy. Implementing Switzerland’s new bank capital standards and further changes to national and international regulatory frameworks for banks will result in increased capital requirements, interest and operating costs. UBS is well positioned to mitigate these challenges and benefit from further improvements in market conditions.

1 Comparative figures in this table may differ from those originally published in quarterly and annual reports due to adjustments following organizational changes, restatements due to the retrospective adoption of new accounting standards or changes in accounting policies, and events after the reporting period. 2 Recurring net fee income consists of fees for services provided on an ongoing basis such as portfolio management fees, asset-based investment fund fees, custody fees and account-keeping fees, which are generated on client assets. 3 Transaction-based income consists of the non-recurring portion of net fee and commission income, mainly consisting of brokerage and transaction-based investment fund fees as well as credit card fees and fees for payment transactions, together with net trading income. 4 Adjusted results are non-GAAP financial measures as defined by SEC regulations. 5 Reflects a gain on the sale of our investment in Visa Europe. 6 Refer to the “Measurement of performance” section of our Annual Report 2016 for the definitions of our key performance indicators. 7 Recurring income consists of net interest income and recurring net fee income. 8 Refer to the “Capital management” section of this report for more information. 9 Represents risk-weighted assets and leverage ratio denominator held by Corporate Center – Group ALM that are directly associated with activity managed centrally on behalf of the business divisions and other Corporate Center units. For the purpose of attributing equity under the revised framework effective as of 1 January 2017, these resources are allocated to the business divisions and other Corporate Center units, primarily based on the level of high-quality liquid assets needed to meet the Group’s minimum liquidity coverage ratio requirement of 110%. Refer to “Equity attribution framework” in the “Capital management” section of our Annual Report 2016 for more information. |

Wealth Management
Results: 2Q17 vs 2Q16
Profit before tax increased by CHF 64 million or 12% to CHF 582 million and adjusted profit before tax increased by CHF 85 million or 14% to CHF 691 million, mainly reflecting higher operating income.
Operating income
Total operating income increased by CHF 67 million or 4% to CHF 1,882 million. The second quarter of 2016 included a loss on the sale of a subsidiary of CHF 23 million and a gain of CHF 21 million on the sale of our investment in Visa Europe. Excluding these items, adjusted operating income increased by CHF 65 million or 4%, mainly due to higher transaction-based income.
Net interest income decreased by CHF 14 million to CHF 568 million, primarily due to lower treasury-related income from Corporate Center – Group Asset and Liability Management (Group ALM), reflecting higher funding costs for long-term debt that contributes to total loss-absorbing capacity and lower banking book interest income. This was partly offset by higher deposit revenues, primarily reflecting higher short-term US dollar interest rates.
® Refer to the “Corporate Center – Group Asset and Liability Management” section of this report for more information
Recurring net fee income increased by CHF 7 million to CHF 890 million due to higher average invested assets, increases in discretionary and advisory mandate penetration and pricing measures. These factors were partly offset by the effects of cross-border outflows and shifts into retrocession-free products, as well as our exit from the Australian domestic business.
Transaction-based income increased by CHF 69 million to CHF 416 million, across most products, mainly due to increased client activity, most notably in Asia Pacific.
Operating expenses
Total operating expenses increased slightly to CHF 1,300 million, while adjusted operating expenses decreased by CHF 20 million or 2% to CHF 1,191 million. Personnel expenses increased by CHF 8 million to CHF 598 million, while adjusted personnel expenses were broadly unchanged at CHF 584 million. General and administrative expenses decreased by CHF 14 million to CHF 126 million and decreased by CHF 24 million to CHF 110 million on an adjusted basis, mainly due to lower professional fees and reduced net expenses for provisions for litigation, regulatory and similar matters. Net expenses for services from Corporate Center and other business divisions increased by CHF 9 million to CHF 574 million and increased by CHF 3 million to CHF 495 million on an adjusted basis.
Net new money: 2Q17 vs 2Q16
Net new money was CHF 13.7 billion compared with CHF 6.0 billion, resulting in an annualized net new money growth rate of 5.4% compared with 2.6%. Cross-border-related net outflows were CHF 1.9 billion and Europe, emerging markets and Switzerland experienced combined outflows of CHF 5.3 billion following the introduction of fees for large euro-denominated deposits. Net new money from ultra high net worth clients was CHF 11.8 billion compared with CHF 4.8 billion. Net new money in Asia Pacific was also notably strong in the quarter.
Invested assets: 2Q17 vs 1Q17
Invested assets increased by CHF 16 billion to CHF 1,039 billion, mainly due to positive market performance of CHF 20 billion and net new money of CHF 14 billion, partly offset by negative foreign currency translation effects of CHF 18 billion, mainly driven by the weakening of the US dollar against the Swiss franc. Discretionary and advisory mandate penetration increased to 28.5% from 27.8%.
Results: 6M17 vs 6M16
Profit before tax increased by CHF 145 million or 13% to CHF 1,221 million and adjusted profit before tax increased by CHF 175 million or 14% to CHF 1,418 million, mainly reflecting higher operating income.
Total operating income increased by CHF 110 million or 3% to CHF 3,810 million. Excluding the aforementioned loss on the sale of a subsidiary and the gain on the sale of our investment in Visa Europe, adjusted operating income increased by CHF 108 million or 3%, mainly due to higher transaction-based income.
Net interest income decreased by CHF 35 million to CHF 1,127 million, mainly due to lower treasury-related income from Corporate Center – Group ALM, partly offset by higher deposit revenues, primarily reflecting higher short-term US dollar interest rates.
® Refer to the “Corporate Center – Group Asset and Liability Management” section of this report for more information
20
Recurring net fee income decreased by CHF 9 million to CHF 1,775 million. Increases in average invested asset levels and discretionary and advisory mandate penetration were more than offset by the effects of cross-border outflows, shifts into retrocession-free products and our exit from the Australian domestic business.
Transaction-based income increased by CHF 146 million to CHF 895 million, across most products, mainly due to increased client activity, most notably in Asia Pacific.
Total operating expenses decreased by CHF 34 million or 1% to CHF 2,590 million and adjusted operating expenses decreased by CHF 66 million or 3% to CHF 2,393 million. Personnel expenses decreased by CHF 11 million to CHF 1,194 million and decreased by CHF 17 million to CHF 1,179 million on an adjusted basis, driven by a decrease in staff levels reflecting our cost reduction programs, partly offset by higher variable compensation expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased by CHF 11 million to CHF 257 million and decreased by CHF 18 million to CHF 230 million on an adjusted basis, mainly due to lower costs for travel and entertainment and IT outsourcing services. Net expenses for services from other business divisions and Corporate Center decreased by CHF 12 million to CHF 1,136 million and adjusted net expenses for services decreased by CHF 32 million to CHF 981 million. This decrease was driven by lower net expenses from Group Technology, Group Communications and Branding and Group Risk Control, partly offset by higher costs related to strategic and regulatory initiatives.

1 Comparative figures in this table may differ from those originally published in quarterly and annual reports due to adjustments following organizational changes, restatements due to the retrospective adoption of new accounting standards or changes in accounting policies, and events after the reporting period. 2 Recurring net fee income consists of fees for services provided on an ongoing basis such as portfolio management fees, asset-based investment fund fees, custody fees and account-keeping fees, which are generated on client assets. 3 Transaction-based income consists of the non-recurring portion of net fee and commission income, mainly consisting of brokerage and transaction-based investment fund fees as well as credit card fees and fees for payment transactions, together with net trading income. 4 Financial advisor compensation consists of grid-based compensation based directly on compensable revenues generated by financial advisors and supplemental compensation calculated on the basis of financial advisor productivity, firm tenure, assets and other variables. 5 Compensation commitments with recruited financial advisors represent expenses related to compensation commitments granted to financial advisors at the time of recruitment that are subject to vesting requirements. 6 Adjusted results are non-GAAP financial measures as defined by SEC regulations. 7 Refer to the “Measurement of performance” section of our Annual Report 2016 for the definitions of our key performance indicators. 8 Recurring income consists of net interest income and recurring net fee income. 9 Refer to the “Capital management” section of this report for more information. 10 Represents risk-weighted assets and leverage ratio denominator held by Corporate Center – Group ALM that are directly associated with activity managed centrally on behalf of the business divisions and other Corporate Center units. For the purpose of attributing equity under the revised framework effective as of 1 January 2017, these resources are allocated to the business divisions and other Corporate Center units, primarily based on the level of high-quality liquid assets needed to meet the Group’s minimum liquidity coverage ratio requirement of 110%. Refer to “Equity attribution framework” in the “Capital management” section of our Annual Report 2016 for more information. 11 Presented in line with historical reporting practice in the US market. |

Refer to “Equity attribution framework” in the “Capital management” section of our Annual Report 2016 for more information. 9 In the second quarter of 2017, Personal & Corporate Banking implemented changes in its organizational structure for asset servicing of large institutional clients. As a result, we have changed our presentation of client assets within Personal & Corporate Banking to include custody assets of certain corporate clients serviced by Personal & Corporate Banking. This resulted in an increase in client assets of CHF 169 billion and CHF 166 billion as of 31 March 2017 and 30 June 2016, respectively. The change in presentation had no impact on invested assets or net new money attributable to Personal & Corporate Banking, the Group or any of its other business divisions. 10 Refer to the “Risk management and control” section of this report for more information on impaired loan exposures. |

Results: 2Q17 vs 2Q16
Profit before tax decreased by CHF 178 million or 33% to CHF 356 million and adjusted profit before tax decreased by CHF 84 million or 18% to CHF 379 million, mainly driven by lower operating income.
Operating income
Total operating income decreased by CHF 150 million or 14% to CHF 935 million. Excluding a gain of CHF 102 million on the sale of our investment in Visa Europe in the second quarter of 2016, adjusted operating income decreased by CHF 48 million or 5%, mainly due to lower net interest income and a net credit loss expense in the second quarter of 2017 compared with a net recovery, partly offset by higher transaction-based income and recurring net fee income.
Net interest income decreased by CHF 33 million to CHF 525 million due to lower treasury-related income from Corporate Center – Group Asset and Liability Management (Group ALM), reflecting higher funding costs for long-term debt that contributes to total loss-absorbing capacity and lower banking book interest income.
® Refer to the “Corporate Center – Group Asset and Liability Management” section of this report for more information
Recurring net fee income increased by CHF 11 million to CHF 151 million, mainly reflecting higher custody fees.
Transaction-based income increased by CHF 18 million to CHF 272 million, mainly due to higher credit card fees as well as an increase in foreign exchange transactions.
Other income decreased by CHF 115 million to CHF 16 million, mainly due to the aforementioned gain on the sale of our investment in Visa Europe in the prior-year quarter. Excluding this gain, adjusted other income decreased by CHF 13 million, partly due to lower income from our investments in associates.
Net credit loss expense was CHF 28 million compared with a net recovery of CHF 2 million, driven by a small number of newly impaired corporate client positions across a range of sectors.
Operating expenses
Total operating expenses increased by CHF 28 million or 5% to CHF 579 million and adjusted operating expenses increased by CHF 36 million or 7% to CHF 556 million. Personnel expenses increased by CHF 13 million to CHF 225 million and increased by CHF 12 million to CHF 223 million on an adjusted basis, mainly due to higher variable compensation expenses. General and administrative expenses increased by CHF 15 million to CHF 75 million, mainly reflecting higher IT project-related costs. Net expenses for services from Corporate Center and other business divisions increased by CHF 3 million and increased by CHF 12 million on an adjusted basis, mainly reflecting higher costs for services received from Wealth Management and an increase related to strategic and regulatory initiatives.
Net new business
volume growth for personal banking:
2Q17 vs 2Q16
The annualized net new business volume growth rate for our personal banking business was 4.5% compared with 3.0%. Net new client assets and, to a lesser extent, net new loans were positive.
Results: 6M17 vs 6M16
Profit before tax decreased by CHF 159 million or 17% to CHF 774 million and adjusted profit before tax decreased by CHF 70 million or 8% to CHF 816 million, mainly reflecting lower net interest income.
Total operating income decreased by CHF 155 million or 8% to CHF 1,893 million. Excluding the aforementioned gain on the sale of our investment in Visa Europe, adjusted operating income decreased by CHF 53 million or 3%. Net interest income decreased by CHF 79 million to CHF 1,038 million, driven by lower treasury-related income from Corporate Center – Group ALM.
® Refer to the “Corporate Center – Group Asset and Liability Management” section of this report for more information
Recurring net fee income increased by CHF 11 million to CHF 290 million, mainly reflecting higher custody fees. Transaction-based income increased by CHF 36 million to CHF 534 million, mainly due to higher corporate and trade finance fees as well as credit card fees. Excluding the aforementioned gain on the sale of our investment in Visa Europe, adjusted other income was broadly stable at CHF 52 million. Net credit loss expense was CHF 21 million compared with a net recovery of CHF 2 million. The net expense in the first half of 2017 was mainly related to allowances for newly impaired positions across a range of sectors. In the prior year, net recoveries related to previously impaired positions were almost entirely offset by expenses for allowances for newly impaired positions.
Total operating expenses increased by CHF 4 million to CHF 1,119 million and adjusted operating expenses increased by CHF 17 million or 2% to CHF 1,077 million. Personnel expenses increased by CHF 12 million to CHF 437 million and increased by CHF 9 million to CHF 433 million on an adjusted basis, mainly due to higher variable compensation expenses. General and administrative expenses increased by CHF 13 million to CHF 134 million, mainly reflecting higher IT project-related costs. Net expenses for services from Corporate Center and other business divisions decreased by CHF 19 million and decreased by CHF 3 million on an adjusted basis.

1 Comparative figures in this table may differ from those originally published in quarterly and annual reports due to adjustments following organizational changes, restatements due to the retrospective adoption of new accounting standards or changes in accounting policies, and events after the reporting period. 2 Net management fees include transaction fees, fund administration revenues (including net interest and trading income from lending activities and foreign exchange hedging as part of the fund services offering), gains or losses from seed money and co-investments, funding costs, gains and losses on the sale of subsidiaries and businesses and other items that are not performance fees. 3 Adjusted results are non-GAAP financial measures as defined by SEC regulations. 4 Refer to the “Measurement of performance” section of our Annual Report 2016 for the definitions of our key performance indicators. 5 Includes UBS and third-party fund assets, for which the fund services unit provides professional services, including fund setup, accounting and reporting for traditional investment funds and alternative funds. 6 Inflows of assets under administration from new and existing funds less outflows from existing funds or fund exits. 7 Refer to the “Capital management” section of this report for more information. 8 Represents risk-weighted assets and leverage ratio denominator held by Corporate Center – Group ALM that are directly associated with activity managed centrally on behalf of the business divisions and other Corporate Center units. For the purpose of attributing equity under the revised framework effective as of 1 January 2017, these resources are allocated to the business divisions and other Corporate Center units, primarily based on the level of high-quality liquid assets needed to meet the Group’s minimum liquidity coverage ratio requirement of 110%. Refer to “Equity attribution framework” in the “Capital management” section of our Annual Report 2016 for more information. |

Asset Management
Results: 2Q17 vs 2Q16
Profit before tax decreased by CHF 4 million or 4% to CHF 110 million and adjusted profit before tax decreased by CHF 15 million or 10% to CHF 133 million, mainly reflecting higher operating expenses.
Operating income
Total operating income decreased by CHF 4 million or 1% to CHF 479 million. Net management fees declined by CHF 15 million despite a higher asset base, reflecting ongoing margin compression due to client shifts to passive investment allocation strategies, lower transaction fees and increased custody fees recognized as contra-revenues. This decrease was partly offset by higher performance fees, which increased by CHF 12 million to CHF 36 million across our hedge fund businesses and Equities.
As of 30 June 2017, approximately 79% of performance fee-eligible assets within our hedge fund businesses exceeded high-water marks compared with 1%, reflecting improved performance in our multi- and single-manager hedge funds.
Operating expenses
Total operating expenses were unchanged at CHF 369 million. Adjusted operating expenses increased by CHF 11 million or 3% to CHF 346 million, mainly as adjusted personnel expenses increased by CHF 13 million, driven by higher variable compensation expenses, partly offset by lower salary expenses. Adjusted general and administrative expenses decreased by CHF 6 million due to lower professional fees and marketing expenses. Adjusted net expenses for services from Corporate Center and other business divisions increased by CHF 4 million to CHF 105 million.
Net new money: 2Q17 vs 2Q16
Excluding money market flows, net new money was CHF 10.2 billion compared with net outflows of CHF 8.8 billion, which resulted in an annualized net new money growth rate of positive 6.5% compared with negative 6.2%. Net new money in the second quarter of 2017 was fairly well diversified in terms of clients and regions. Lower-margin passive mandates represented the majority of net new money in the second quarter of 2017. This trend has had, and is expected to continue to have, a dampening effect on gross margins.
Invested assets: 2Q17 vs 1Q17
Invested assets increased to CHF 703 billion from CHF 697 billion, reflecting net new money of CHF 11 billion, including money market flows, and positive market performance of CHF 11 billion, largely offset by negative foreign currency translation effects of CHF 16 billion, mainly driven by the weakening of the US dollar against the Swiss franc.
Assets under administration: 2Q17 vs 1Q17
Total assets under administration increased to CHF 441 billion from CHF 439 billion, reflecting positive market performance of CHF 5 billion, partly offset by negative foreign currency translation effects of CHF 3 billion and net new assets under administration outflows of CHF 1 billion.
The announced sale of Asset Management’s fund administration servicing units to Northern Trust is expected to close in the second half of 2017, subject to relevant approvals and other customary conditions.
Results: 6M17 vs 6M16
Profit before tax increased by CHF 9 million or 4% to CHF 213 million, while adjusted profit before tax was broadly unchanged at CHF 256 million as lower operating income was offset by lower adjusted operating expenses.
Total operating income decreased by CHF 22 million or 2% to CHF 929 million, mainly due to CHF 38 million lower net management fees, reflecting margin compression due to client shifts to passive investment allocation strategies and lower transaction fees, an impairment loss of CHF 12 million on a co-investment in an infrastructure fund and increased custody fees recognized as contra-revenues. Performance fees increased by CHF 15 million across our hedge fund businesses.
Total operating expenses decreased by CHF 31 million or 4% to CHF 716 million and adjusted operating expenses decreased by CHF 20 million or 3% to CHF 673 million. Adjusted personnel expenses decreased by CHF 10 million, driven by lower salary expenses, partly offset by higher variable compensation expenses. Adjusted general and administrative expenses decreased by CHF 9 million, primarily due to lower professional fees. Adjusted net expenses for services from Corporate Center and other business divisions decreased by CHF 2 million to CHF 219 million.

1 Comparative figures in this table may differ from those originally published in quarterly and annual reports due to adjustments following organizational changes, restatements due to retrospective adoption of new accounting standards or changes in accounting policies, and events after the reporting period. 2 Adjusted results are non-GAAP financial measures as defined by SEC regulations. 3 Reflects a gain on the sale of our remaining investment in IHS Markit. 4 Refer to the “Measurement of performance” section of our Annual Report 2016 for the definitions of our key performance indicators. 5 Refer to the “Capital management” section of this report for more information. 6 Based on third-party view, i.e., without intercompany balances. 7 Represents risk-weighted assets (RWA) and leverage ratio denominator (LRD) held by Corporate Center – Group ALM that are directly associated with activity managed centrally on behalf of the business divisions and other Corporate Center units. For the purpose of attributing equity under the revised framework effective as of 1 January 2017, these resources are allocated to the business divisions and other Corporate Center units, primarily based on the level of high-quality liquid assets needed to meet the Group’s minimum liquidity coverage ratio requirement of 110%. Refer to “Equity attribution framework” in the “Capital management” section of our Annual Report 2016 for more information. 8 Based on total RWA and LRD. Figures for periods prior to 31 March 2017 are based on RWA and LRD held by the Investment Bank and are therefore not fully comparable. 9 Refer to the “Risk management and control” section of this report for more information on impaired loan exposures. |
Results: 2Q17 vs 2Q16
Profit before tax increased by CHF 167 million or 59% to CHF 451 million, while adjusted profit before tax decreased by CHF 28 million or 6% to CHF 419 million, primarily as a result of lower revenues in Foreign Exchange, Rates and Credit.
Operating income
Total operating income increased by CHF 26 million or 1% to CHF 2,026 million. Excluding a gain of CHF 107 million on the sale of our remaining investment in IHS Markit, adjusted operating income decreased by CHF 81 million or 4% to CHF 1,919 million, mainly as a result of lower revenues in Foreign Exchange, Rates and Credit and, to a lesser extent, in Debt Capital Markets, partly offset by higher Equity Capital Markets and Equities revenues. In US dollar terms, adjusted operating income also decreased 4%.
Operating income by business unit:
Corporate Client Solutions
Corporate Client Solutions revenues increased by CHF 64 million or 10% to CHF 732 million, reflecting higher revenues in Equity Capital Markets and Risk Management, partly offset by lower revenues in Debt Capital Markets. In US dollar terms, revenues also increased 10%.
Advisory revenues were broadly unchanged at CHF 164 million, with lower revenues from merger and acquisition transactions, in line with a global fee pool decrease of 5%, largely offset by higher revenues from private transactions.
Equity Capital Markets revenues increased to CHF 289 million from CHF 195 million, due to higher revenues from private transactions as well as from public offerings, where the global fee pool increased 18%.
Debt Capital Markets revenues decreased to CHF 179 million from CHF 237 million. This decrease was primarily driven by lower leveraged finance revenues compared with a strong prior-year quarter, and a global fee pool decrease of 6%.
Financing Solutions revenues decreased by CHF 8 million to CHF 90 million.
Risk Management revenues were positive CHF 10 million compared with negative CHF 27 million, mainly due to lower losses on portfolio hedges.
Investor Client Services
Investor Client Services revenues decreased by CHF 39 million or 3% to CHF 1,300 million. Excluding the aforementioned gain on sale of CHF 107 million, Investor Client Services revenues decreased by CHF 146 million or 11% to CHF 1,193 million, due to a decrease in Foreign Exchange, Rates and Credit revenues, partly offset by higher Equities revenues. In US dollar terms, adjusted revenues also decreased 11%.
34
Equities
Equities revenues increased to CHF 928 million from CHF 878 million. Excluding a gain of CHF 27 million on the aforementioned sale, adjusted revenues increased by CHF 23 million to CHF 901 million, driven by higher revenues in Derivatives.
Adjusted Cash revenues decreased to CHF 293 million from CHF 308 million, mainly due to lower client activity and weaker client trading revenues.
Derivatives revenues increased to CHF 219 million from CHF 144 million, reflecting increased client activity and improved trading performance.
Financing Services revenues decreased to CHF 395 million from CHF 424 million, driven by lower client activity.
Foreign Exchange, Rates and Credit
Foreign Exchange, Rates and Credit revenues decreased to CHF 373 million from CHF 461 million. Excluding a gain of CHF 80 million on the aforementioned sale, adjusted revenues decreased to CHF 293 million from CHF 461 million, with decreases across the majority of products. This decrease was mainly due to lower client activity and low market volatility levels compared with a strong prior-year quarter that benefited from increased trading volumes related to the UK referendum on EU membership.
Operating expenses
Total operating expenses decreased by CHF 141 million or 8% to CHF 1,575 million and adjusted operating expenses decreased by CHF 53 million or 3% to CHF 1,500 million.
Personnel expenses decreased to CHF 773 million from CHF 828 million and adjusted personnel expenses decreased to CHF 769 million from CHF 791 million, mainly due to lower salary expenses, primarily as a result of our cost reduction programs, partly offset by an increase in variable compensation expenses.
General and administrative expenses decreased by CHF 65 million to CHF 127 million and decreased by CHF 64 million to CHF 124 million on an adjusted basis, as the second quarter of 2017 included a UK bank levy credit of CHF 28 million related to prior years and CHF 26 million lower net expenses for provisions for litigation, regulatory and similar matters.
Net expenses for services from Corporate Center and other business divisions decreased to CHF 671 million from CHF 687 million, while adjusted net expenses increased to CHF 604 million from CHF 565 million, mainly due to higher net expenses from Group Technology.
Risk-weighted assets and
leverage ratio denominator:
2Q17 vs 1Q17

Total risk-weighted assets (RWA), including RWA held by Corporate Center – Group Asset and Liability Management (Group ALM) on behalf of the Investment Bank, increased by CHF 10 billion to CHF 76 billion as of 30 June 2017, mainly due to an increase in credit risk and market risk RWA. Total RWA remained below our short- to medium-term expectation of around CHF 85 billion.
® Refer to the “Capital management” section of this report for more information

Results: 2Q17 vs 2Q16
Corporate Center – Services recorded a loss before tax of CHF 137 million compared with a loss of CHF 113 million, and an adjusted loss of CHF 137 million compared with a loss of CHF 213 million.
Operating income
Operating income was negative CHF 20 million compared with positive CHF 78 million. Excluding gains on sales of real estate of CHF 120 million in the second quarter of 2016, adjusted income was negative CHF 20 million compared with negative CHF 42 million, mainly due to a lower allocation from Corporate Center − Group Asset and Liability Management (Group ALM) for funding costs in relation to long-term debt that contributes to total loss-absorbing capacity, partly offset by a decrease in income from the investment of the Group’s equity allocated from Group ALM. This reflects a change made in the first quarter of 2017 to the methodology used to allocate certain Group ALM revenues.

Operating expenses
Operating expenses before service allocations to business divisions and other Corporate Center units

Personnel expenses decreased by CHF 26 million to CHF 921 million and increased by CHF 19 million to CHF 828 million on an adjusted basis, driven by higher staffing levels for strategic and regulatory initiatives. General and administrative expenses decreased by CHF 60 million to CHF 956 million and decreased slightly to CHF 841 million on an adjusted basis, reflecting a decrease in marketing costs and lower professional fees, largely offset by higher occupancy and infrastructure costs. Depreciation expenses increased to CHF 243 million from CHF 228 million, primarily reflecting increased expenses related to internally generated capitalized software and leasehold improvements.
Services to / from business divisions and other Corporate Center units
Corporate
Center – Services allocated expenses of CHF 2,004 million to the business divisions and
other Corporate Center units compared with CHF 2,007 million. Adjusted net allocated
expenses for services to business divisions and other Corporate Center units
were CHF 1,795 million compared with CHF 1,720 million, mainly as the costs allocated
to business divisions and other Corporate Center units in 2016 were lower than
the
actual costs incurred by Corporate Center – Services on their behalf. From
January 2017, costs are allocated to the business divisions and other Corporate
Center units based on actual costs incurred by Corporate Center – Services.

Results: 2Q17 vs 2Q16
Corporate Center – Group Asset and Liability Management (Group ALM) recorded a loss before tax of CHF 104 million compared with a profit of CHF 44 million and on an adjusted basis recorded a loss before tax of CHF 81 million compared with a profit of CHF 70 million.
Operating income
Total operating income after allocations to business divisions and other Corporate Center units was negative CHF 94 million compared with positive CHF 45 million. Excluding net foreign currency translation losses of CHF 22 million compared with CHF 26 million, adjusted operating income was negative CHF 72 million compared with positive CHF 71 million, mainly due to a negative effect from accounting asymmetries related to economic hedges.
Total risk management net income before allocations
Total risk management net income before allocations to business divisions and other Corporate Center units was CHF 18 million compared with CHF 102 million, reflecting lower net income from business division-aligned risk management and capital investment and issuance activities.
Business division-aligned risk management net income
Net income from business division-aligned risk management activities before allocations was CHF 166 million compared with CHF 222 million, mainly due to a decrease in interest rate risk management revenues in the banking book for Wealth Management and Personal & Corporate Banking and lower net income in Risk Exposure Management. These decreases were partly offset by higher revenues from a portfolio of high-quality liquid assets (HQLA) that Group ALM manages on behalf of Wealth Management Americas, driven by higher US dollar interest rates.
Capital investment and issuance net income
Net income from capital investment and issuance activities before allocations was negative CHF 27 million compared with positive CHF 24 million. This change was largely due to higher interest expenses as a result of an increase in total outstanding long-term debt issued that contributes to total loss-absorbing capacity (TLAC). Furthermore, interest income from the investment of the Group’s equity decreased due to lower interest rates on reinvestments.
Group structural risk management net income
Net income from Group structural risk management activities before allocations was negative CHF 121 million compared with negative CHF 143 million. An increase in income of CHF 53 million from the management of the Group’s HQLA, mainly due to wider spreads between certain HQLA and internal funding liabilities, was partly offset by an increase in net interest expense of CHF 31 million due to issuances of long-term debt.
Allocations to business divisions and other Corporate Center units
Combined net income allocations from risk management activities to business divisions and other Corporate Center units were CHF 51 million compared with CHF 155 million, mainly reflecting the aforementioned lower net income from business division-aligned risk management and capital investment and issuance activities, which are both fully allocated to business divisions.
Total risk management net income after allocations
Group ALM retained negative income of CHF 33 million from its risk management activities after allocations compared with negative CHF 53 million, mainly driven by the aforementioned improvement in revenues from the management of the Group’s HQLA.
Retained income from risk management activities is entirely related to Group structural risk management and is mainly the net result of costs from buffers that are maintained by Group ALM at levels above the total consumption of the business divisions and the revenues generated by Group ALM from the management of the Group’s HQLA portfolio relative to the benchmark rates used to allocate the costs. Retained income from risk management activities can vary significantly quarter on quarter. However, under current market conditions, we expect it to average around negative CHF 50 million per quarter.
Accounting asymmetries related to economic hedges
Net income retained by Group ALM due to accounting asymmetries related to economic hedges was negative CHF 47 million compared with positive CHF 61 million, predominantly due to a fair value loss of CHF 18 million on certain internal funding transactions due to the widening of funding spreads compared with a gain of CHF 95 million.
Hedge accounting ineffectiveness
Net income related to hedge accounting ineffectiveness was CHF 14 million compared with CHF 11 million. This ineffectiveness primarily arises from changes in the spread between LIBOR and the overnight index swap rate due to differences in the way these affect the valuation of the hedged items and hedging instruments through either the benchmark rate determining cash flows or the discount rate.
Other
Other net income was negative CHF 7 million compared with positive CHF 52 million, reflecting negative fair value hedge movements on the portion of derivatives used to hedge debt issuances that does not qualify for hedge accounting, lower interest income retained by Group ALM related to non-controlling interests and negative income related to own-bond market-making activity in the Investment Bank.
41
Corporate Center
Operating expenses
Total operating expenses increased by CHF 8 million to CHF 10 million. From June 2017, Group ALM retains costs related to Group structural risk management income to the extent that such income is not allocated to the business divisions and other Corporate Center units. Previously, Group ALM allocated all costs to business divisions and other Corporate Center units.
Balance sheet, risk-weighted assets, leverage ratio denominator: 2Q17 vs 1Q17
Balance sheet assets
Balance sheet assets decreased by CHF 12 billion to CHF 253 billion, reflecting higher funding utilization by the business divisions, partly offset by net debt issuances.
® Refer to the “Balance sheet, liquidity and funding management” section of this report for more information
Risk-weighted assets
Risk-weighted assets (RWA) increased by CHF 1 billion to CHF 12 billion as of 30 June 2017, due to an increase in credit risk RWA.
® Refer to the “Capital management” section of this report for more information
Leverage ratio denominator
The Swiss SRB leverage ratio denominator (LRD) decreased by CHF 13 billion to CHF 259 billion, consistent with the decrease in balance sheet assets.
® Refer to the “Capital management” section of this report for more information
Equity attribution framework
For the purpose of attributing equity under the revised framework effective from 1 January 2017, LRD and RWA held by Group ALM directly associated with activity that Group ALM manages centrally on behalf of the business divisions and other Corporate Center units are allocated to those business divisions and other Corporate Center units. These balances mainly relate to HQLA that Group ALM holds to meet the Group’s minimum liquidity coverage ratio requirement of 110%.
Average equity attributed directly to Group ALM, which excludes the aforementioned LRD and RWA balances, was CHF 2.6 billion in the second quarter of 2017 and mainly relates to buffers that are maintained by Group ALM at levels above the total consumption of the business divisions and for its own flow management activity.
® Refer to “Equity attribution and return on attributed equity” in the “Capital management” section of this report for more information
Results: 6M17 vs 6M16
Group ALM recorded a loss before tax of CHF 41 million compared with a loss of CHF 104 million and on an adjusted basis recorded a loss before tax of CHF 18 million compared with a profit of CHF 45 million.
Total operating income was negative CHF 30 million compared with negative CHF 104 million. Excluding net foreign currency translation losses of CHF 22 million compared with CHF 149 million, adjusted total operating income was negative CHF 8 million compared with positive CHF 45 million.
Net income from risk management activities before allocations decreased by CHF 101 million to CHF 148 million. This was mainly due to a CHF 119 million decrease in net income from capital investment and issuance activities, driven by higher net interest expenses as a result of an increase in total outstanding long-term debt issued that contributes to TLAC, and by lower revenues from the investment of the Group’s equity.
Revenues related to business division-aligned risk management decreased by CHF 60 million to CHF 375 million, mainly due to a decrease in interest rate risk management revenues in the banking book for Wealth Management and Personal & Corporate Banking.
Net income from Group structural risk management activities improved by CHF 79 million to negative CHF 164 million, driven by higher income from the management of the Group’s HQLA, partly offset by an increase in interest expense due to issuances of long-term debt.
Net income allocations to business divisions and other Corporate Center units decreased by CHF 180 million to CHF 139 million, mainly due to the aforementioned reductions in capital investment and issuance net income.
Retained income from risk management activities improved by CHF 80 million to CHF 10 million, reflecting an increase in revenues from the Group’s HQLA portfolio due to wider spreads between certain HQLA and internal funding liabilities.
Net income retained by Group ALM due to accounting asymmetries related to economic hedges was broadly unchanged at negative CHF 25 million.
Net income related to hedge accounting ineffectiveness on hedge-accounted derivatives was CHF 7 million compared with CHF 50 million.
Other net income was CHF 1 million compared with CHF 93 million, reflecting negative fair value hedge movements on the portion of derivatives used to hedge debt issuances that does not qualify for hedge accounting, lower interest income retained by Group ALM related to non-controlling interests and negative income related to own-bond market-making activity in the Investment Bank.

1 Comparative figures in this table may differ from those originally published in quarterly and annual reports due to adjustments following organizational changes, restatements due to retrospective adoption of new accounting standards or changes in accounting policies, and events after the reporting period. 2 Adjusted results are non-GAAP financial measures as defined by SEC regulations. 3 Refer to the “Capital management” section of this report for more information. 4 Based on third-party view, i.e., without intercompany balances. 5 Represents risk-weighted assets and leverage ratio denominator held by Corporate Center – Group ALM that are directly associated with activity managed centrally on behalf of the business divisions and other Corporate Center units. For the purpose of attributing equity under the revised framework effective as of 1 January 2017, these resources are allocated to the business divisions and other Corporate Center units, primarily based on the level of high-quality liquid assets needed to meet the Group’s minimum liquidity coverage ratio requirement of 110%. Refer to “Equity attribution framework” in the “Capital management” section of our Annual Report 2016 for more information. |

This section provides information on key developments during the reporting period and should be read in conjunction with the “Risk management and control” section of our Annual Report 2016.
Overall credit risk exposures were broadly unchanged during the second quarter of 2017. Net credit loss expenses in the second quarter of 2017 were CHF 46 million, mainly reflecting expenses of CHF 28 million in Personal & Corporate Banking, driven by a small number of newly impaired corporate client positions across a range of sectors.
We continue to manage our Swiss lending portfolios prudently, and we remain watchful for any signs of deterioration in the Swiss economy that could impact some of our counterparties.
While many energy segments appear to have adapted to operating in a lower oil price environment, the recent decline in oil prices has led to renewed market concerns regarding the energy sector. There has been no material impact on our portfolios from the recent oil price decline. Nevertheless, we continue to actively monitor these portfolios, including through scenario analysis.
Within the Investment Bank, leveraged loan underwriting activity increased during the quarter and distribution remained sound. The large investment grade merger and acquisition financing commitment highlighted in previous quarters as it had exceeded its targeted distribution date, expired unused during the second quarter of 2017. Loan underwriting exposures are classified as held for trading, with fair values reflecting the market conditions at the end of the quarter.
We continued to manage market risks at generally low levels. Relative to the first quarter of 2017, average 1-day, 95% confidence level, management value-at-risk (VaR) increased from CHF 10 million to CHF 12 million. Regulatory VaR and stressed VaR also increased during the second quarter of 2017, leading to a commensurate increase in market risk-related risk-weighted assets (RWA).
There were no Group VaR negative backtesting exceptions in the second quarter of 2017 and the total number of negative backtesting exceptions within a 250-business-day window decreased from three to two. The FINMA VaR multiplier for market risk RWA remained unchanged at 3.
® Refer to “Market risk” in the “Risk, treasury and capital management” section of our Annual Report 2016 for more information on our backtesting exceptions
As of 30 June 2017, the interest rate sensitivity of our banking book to a +1 basis point parallel shift in yield curves decreased to negative CHF 2.9 million from negative CHF 3.6 million as of 31 March 2017. Part of these fair value changes would impact other comprehensive income (OCI). The interest rate sensitivity to a +1 basis point parallel shift in yield curves of financial assets and derivatives in the banking book valued through OCI was negative CHF 22 million as of 30 June 2017. This OCI sensitivity was predominantly attributable to cash flow hedges denominated in US dollars and, to a lesser extent, in euros and Swiss francs. These cash flow hedges are not recognized for the purposes of calculating regulatory capital.
® Refer to “Sensitivity to interest rate movements” in the “Group performance” section of this report for more information on the impact of rising interest rates on equity, capital and net interest income
47
Risk management and control
Country risk
We remain watchful of developments in Europe. Our direct exposure to peripheral European countries remained limited, with the exception of Spain, where net exposures increased to CHF 4.9 billion due to a temporary exposure relating to a rights offering. In addition, we continue to have significant country risk exposure to major EU economies, including the UK, Germany and France.
Our binding stress scenario within our combined stress test framework has a eurozone crisis at its core, so that potential effects are captured in the calculation of our post-stress fully applied common equity tier 1 capital ratio.
® Refer to the “Risk management and control” section of our Annual Report 2016 for more information
The pervasive consequential risk themes that continue to challenge UBS and the financial industry are operational resilience, conduct and culture, and financial crime. Cyber security is at the forefront of operational resilience and we continue to invest into preemptive and detective measures to defend against evolving and highly sophisticated attacks.

1 Internal management view of credit risk, which differs in certain respects from IFRS. 2 Excludes reclassified securities and similar acquired securities held by Corporate Center – Non-core and Legacy Portfolio. 3 Excludes loans designated at fair value. 4 As of 30 June 2017, IFRS loans exposure for the Investment Bank and Corporate Center – Non-core and Legacy Portfolio was CHF 9,861 million (31 March 2017: CHF 10,905 million) and CHF 2,401 million (31 March 2017: CHF 2,544 million), respectively. For all other business divisions and Corporate Center units, IFRS loans exposure was the same as the internal management view. 5 As counterparty risk for traded products is managed at counterparty level, no further split between exposures in the Investment Bank, Corporate Center – Non-core and Legacy Portfolio and Corporate Center – Group ALM is provided. |

1 Collateral arrangements generally incorporate a range of collateral, including cash, securities, property and other collateral. In the second quarter of 2017, we further aligned our collateral allocation processes within Wealth Management Americas to prioritize collateral mainly according to its liquidity profile. This resulted in an increase in loans secured by cash and a decrease in loans secured by securities of CHF 4.1 billion. |

1 Statistics at individual levels may not be summed to deduce the corresponding aggregate figures. The minima and maxima for each level may occur on different days, and likewise, the VaR for each business line or risk type, being driven by the extreme loss tail of the corresponding distribution of simulated profits and losses for that business line or risk type, may well be driven by different days in the historical time series, rendering invalid the simple summation of figures to arrive at the aggregate total. 2 Difference between the sum of the standalone VaR for the business divisions and Corporate Center units and the VaR for the Group as a whole. 3 As the minimum and maximum occur on different days for different business divisions and Corporate Center units, it is not meaningful to calculate a portfolio diversification effect. |

1 In the prevailing negative interest rate environment for the Swiss franc in particular, and to a lesser extent for the euro, interest rates for Wealth Management and Personal & Corporate Banking client transactions are generally floored at non-negative levels. Accordingly, for the purposes of this disclosure table, downward moves of 100 / 200 basis points are floored to ensure that the resulting shocked interest rates do not turn negative. The flooring results in non-linear sensitivity behavior. |

Balance sheet, liquidity and funding management
Strategy, objectives and governance
This section provides balance sheet, liquidity and funding management information and should be read in conjunction with the “Treasury management” section of our Annual Report 2016, which provides more information about the Group’s strategy, objectives and governance for liquidity and funding management.
Balances disclosed in this section represent quarter-end positions, unless indicated otherwise. Intra-quarter balances fluctuate in the ordinary course of business and may differ from quarter-end positions.
Assets and liquidity management
As of 30 June 2017, balance sheet assets totaled CHF 891 billion, a decrease of CHF 19 billion from 31 March 2017. Total assets excluding positive replacement values (PRVs) also decreased by CHF 19 billion to CHF 769 billion, mainly resulting from the weakening of the US dollar against the Swiss franc. Excluding currency effects, total assets excluding PRVs decreased by CHF 6 billion, mainly due to the completion of the sale of a life insurance subsidiary within Wealth Management.
Cash and balances with central banks decreased by CHF 9 billion, primarily reflecting higher funding utilization by the business divisions, partly offset by various debt issuances and rebalancing within our high-quality liquid assets (HQLA) portfolio. Other assets decreased by CHF 5 billion, mainly resulting from the aforementioned completion of the sale of a life insurance subsidiary. Receivables from securities financing transactions decreased by CHF 5 billion, primarily due to a client-driven reduction in our Foreign Exchange, Rates and Credit business within the Investment Bank. Lending assets decreased by CHF 1 billion as an increase in Lombard lending in Wealth Management was more than offset by currency effects.
PRVs were broadly unchanged as a CHF 6 billion increase in Foreign Exchange, Rates and Credit, mainly related to foreign exchange contracts and primarily reflecting currency market movements, was mostly offset by a CHF 5 billion reduction in our Non-core and Legacy Portfolio, reflecting trade terminations, maturities and fair value changes, mainly related to interest rate contracts. Trading portfolio assets, as well as financial assets designated at fair value, available for sale and held to maturity, were also broadly unchanged as client-driven increases, primarily in the Investment Bank, were offset by currency effects.

Balance sheet, liquidity and funding management
Liquidity coverage ratio
In the second quarter of 2017, our liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) increased 3 percentage points to 131%, remaining above the 110% Group LCR minimum communicated by FINMA. The increase in LCR primarily resulted from a decrease in net cash outflows, mainly related to secured lending, financial liabilities designated at fair value and customer deposits. This decrease was partly offset by a reduction in eligible HQLA, resulting from increased liquidity requirements applicable to our US operations.

Liabilities and funding management
Total liabilities decreased by CHF 17 billion to CHF 838 billion as of 30 June 2017. Customer deposits decreased by CHF 15 billion, primarily in Wealth Management Americas, resulting from the shift of customer sweep deposit balances in excess of insured limits to third-party banks and seasonal outflows. Other liabilities decreased by CHF 5 billion, mainly due to the aforementioned completion of the sale of a life insurance subsidiary, partly offset by an increase in cash collateral payables on derivative instruments. Long-term debt issued decreased by CHF 4 billion, mainly driven by a CHF 2 billion reduction in financial liabilities designated at fair value, primarily in our Foreign Exchange, Rates and Credit business, and currency effects. Long-term debt issued held at amortized cost was broadly unchanged as the maturity of CHF 5.2 billion equivalent of US dollar- and euro-denominated senior unsecured debt and the maturity of a USD 0.2 billion non-Basel III-compliant tier 2 capital instrument were mostly offset by the issuance of CHF 0.4 billion of Swiss franc-denominated senior unsecured debt that contributes to our total loss-absorbing capacity (TLAC) and CHF 4.8 billion equivalent of US dollar-denominated senior unsecured debt. Trading portfolio liabilities decreased by CHF 3 billion, primarily due to client-driven reductions in our Equities and Foreign Exchange, Rates and Credit businesses.
These decreases were partly offset by an CHF 11 billion increase in short-term borrowings, mainly reflecting net issuances of both commercial paper and certificates of deposit.
Negative replacement values were broadly unchanged, in line with PRVs.
The “Funding by product and currency” table and the “Asset funding” chart on the following page provide more information on our funding sources.

Equity
Equity attributable to shareholders decreased by CHF 1,917 million to CHF 51,744 million.
Total comprehensive income attributable to shareholders was CHF 89 million, reflecting net profit of CHF 1,174 million, largely offset by negative other comprehensive income (OCI) of CHF 1,086 million. OCI included negative foreign currency translation OCI of CHF 971 million, negative OCI related to financial assets available for sale of CHF 115 million, negative OCI related to own credit of CHF 73 million and negative cash flow hedge OCI of CHF 35 million, partly offset by defined benefit plan OCI of CHF 108 million.
Share premium decreased by CHF 2,037 million, mainly due to the payment of CHF 2,229 million to shareholders out of the capital contribution reserve of UBS Group AG, partly offset by employee share-based compensation, which increased share premium by CHF 184 million, mainly due to the amortization of deferred equity compensation awards.
Net treasury share activity increased equity attributable to shareholders by CHF 31 million.

Balance sheet, liquidity and funding management
Net stable funding ratio
As of 30 June 2017, our estimated pro forma net stable funding ratio (NSFR) was 110%, a decrease of 1 percentage point from 31 March 2017, primarily reflecting a decrease in available funding, mainly driven by deposit reductions, partly offset by a decrease in required funding.
The calculation of our pro forma NSFR includes estimates of the effect of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision rules and interpretation and will be refined as FINMA NSFR rules are finalized, regulatory interpretations evolve and as new models and associated systems are enhanced. Our pro forma NSFR does not consider the proposed NSFR regulation in Switzerland, for which the consultation period recently closed. The proposed regulation contemplates an effective date of 1 January 2018; however, we expect the effective date to be postponed. If implemented as proposed, the new requirements are expected to have a moderate negative impact on our Group NSFR and could result in a significant increase in long-term funding requirements on a legal entity level.
® Refer to the “Recent developments” section of our first quarter 2017 report for more information on the implementation of the net stable funding ratio in Switzerland

1 This table does not include the effect of any gone concern requirement rebate. 2 Includes outstanding low-trigger loss-absorbing additional tier 1 (AT1) capital instruments, which under the transitional rules of the Swiss SRB framework will remain available to meet the going concern requirements until their first call date, even if the first call date is after 31 December 2019. From their first call date, they may be used to meet the gone concern requirements. Low-trigger loss-absorbing AT1 capital was partly offset by required deductions for goodwill on a phase-in basis. 3 Includes outstanding high- and low-trigger loss-absorbing tier 2 capital instruments, which under the transitional rules of the Swiss SRB framework will remain available to meet the going concern requirements until the earlier of (i) their maturity or first call date or (ii) 31 December 2019. As of 1 January 2020, these instruments may be used to meet the gone concern requirements until one year before maturity, with a haircut of 50% applied in the last year of eligibility. 4 Consists of a minimum capital requirement of 8% and a buffer capital requirement of 4.22%, including the effect of countercyclical buffers of 0.22%. 5 Consists of a minimum leverage ratio requirement of 3% and a buffer leverage ratio requirement of 0.5%. 6 Includes applicable add-ons of 0.36% for RWA and 0.13% for leverage ratio denominator (LRD). 7 Consists of a minimum capital requirement of 8% and a buffer capital requirement of 6.52%, including the effect of countercyclical buffers of 0.22% and applicable add-ons of 1.44%. 8 Consists of a minimum leverage ratio requirement of 3% and a buffer leverage ratio requirement of 2%, including applicable add-ons of 0.5%. |

1 High-trigger loss-absorbing additional tier 1 (AT1) capital of CHF 6,809 million and low-trigger loss-absorbing AT1 capital of CHF 2,342 million were partly offset by required deductions for goodwill of CHF 2,639 million. 2 Low-trigger loss-absorbing AT1 capital (30 June 2017: CHF 2,295 million; 31 March 2017: CHF 2,313 million) was partly offset by required deductions for goodwill (30 June 2017: CHF 1,260 million; 31 March 2017: CHF 1,304 million). 3 Non-Basel III-compliant tier 1 and tier 2 capital instruments qualify as gone concern instruments. Under the Swiss SRB rules, these instruments are no longer subject to phase-out. Instruments with a maturity date are eligible to meet the gone concern requirements until one year prior to maturity, with a haircut of 50% applied in the last year of eligibility. |
56
Going concern capital
Our fully applied common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital increased by CHF 0.6 billion to CHF 31.9 billion as of 30 June 2017, mainly as a result of operating profit before tax, partly offset by accruals for capital returns to shareholders, tax effects, foreign currency translation effects and higher deductions for expected losses on the advanced IRB portfolio.
® Refer to “Risk-weighted assets” in this section for more information on the implementation of changes to the probability of default and loss given default parameters impacting expected losses
Gone concern loss-absorbing capacity
During the second quarter of 2017, our fully applied gone concern loss-absorbing capacity decreased by CHF 0.2 billion to CHF 33.2 billion. The issuance of CHF 0.4 billion senior unsecured debt instruments that contribute to total loss-absorbing capacity (TLAC) was more than offset by foreign currency translation and other effects.
® Refer to “Bondholder information” at www.ubs.com/investors for more information on the eligibility of capital and senior unsecured debt instruments and on key features and terms and conditions of capital instruments
Loss-absorbing capacity and leverage ratios
During the second quarter of 2017, our fully applied CET1 capital ratio decreased 0.6 percentage points to 13.5% as of 30 June 2017, reflecting an increase in RWA of CHF 14.9 billion, partly offset by an increase of CHF 0.6 billion in CET1 capital.
In the second quarter of 2017, our fully applied CET1 leverage ratio increased 0.1 percentage points to 3.7% as of 30 June 2017, due to a CHF 20 billion decrease in LRD and a CHF 0.6 billion increase in CET1 capital.
On a phase-in basis, our CET1 capital ratio decreased 0.8 percentage points to 14.8%, while our CET1 leverage ratio increased 0.2 percentage points to 4.1%.
On a fully applied basis, our gone concern loss-absorbing capacity ratio decreased 1.0 percentage point to 14.0% primarily driven by the aforementioned increase in RWA. Our gone concern leverage ratio increased 0.1 percentage points to 3.9%.

Capital management
Post-stress CET1 capital ratio
We are committed to total capital returns to shareholders of at least 50% of net profit attributable to shareholders, provided that we maintain a fully applied CET1 capital ratio of at least 13% and consistent with our objective of maintaining a post-stress fully applied CET1 capital ratio of at least 10%. Our post-stress CET1 capital ratio exceeded the 10% objective as of 30 June 2017.

Sensitivity to currency movements
Risk-weighted assets
We estimate that a 10% depreciation of the Swiss franc against other currencies would have increased our fully applied RWA by CHF 11 billion and our fully applied CET1 capital by CHF 1.2 billion as of 30 June 2017 (31 March 2017: CHF 9 billion and CHF 1.2 billion, respectively) and reduced our fully applied CET1 capital ratio by 11 basis points (31 March 2017: 6 basis points). Conversely, we estimate that a 10% appreciation of the Swiss franc against other currencies would have reduced our fully applied RWA by CHF 10 billion and our fully applied CET1 capital by CHF 1.1 billion (31 March 2017: CHF 9 billion and CHF 1.1 billion, respectively) and increased our fully applied CET1 capital ratio by 11 basis points (31 March 2017: 6 basis points).

Leverage ratio denominator
We estimate that a 10% depreciation of the Swiss franc against other currencies would have increased our fully applied LRD by CHF 64 billion (31 March 2017: CHF 66 billion) and reduced our fully applied Swiss SRB going concern leverage ratio by 11 basis points (31 March 2017: 10 basis points). Conversely, we estimate that a 10% appreciation of the Swiss franc against other currencies would have reduced our fully applied LRD by CHF 58 billion (31 March 2016: CHF 59 billion) and increased our fully applied Swiss SRB going concern leverage ratio by 11 basis points (31 March 2017: 10 basis points).
® Refer to “Active management of sensitivity to currency movements” in the “Capital management” section of our Annual Report 2016 for more information
The aforementioned sensitivities do not consider foreign currency translation effects related to defined benefit plans other than those related to the currency translation of the net equity of foreign operations.
Estimated effect on capital from litigation, regulatory and similar matters subject to provisions and contingent liabilities
We have estimated the loss in capital that we could incur as a result of the risks associated with the matters described in “Note 14 Provisions and contingent liabilities” to our consolidated financial statements. This is an estimated amount and is not related to and should not be considered in addition to these provisions and contingent liabilities. We have utilized for this purpose the advanced measurement approach (AMA) methodology that we use when determining the capital requirements associated with operational risks, based on a 99.9% confidence level over a 12-month horizon. The methodology takes into consideration UBS and industry experience for the AMA operational risk categories to which those matters correspond, as well as the external environment affecting risks of these types, in isolation from other areas. On this standalone basis, we estimate the loss in capital that we could incur over a 12-month period as a result of our risks associated with these operational risk categories at CHF 4.9 billion as of 30 June 2017. This estimate does not take into account any provisions recognized for any of these matters and does not constitute a subjective assessment of UBS’s actual exposure in any of these matters.

Capital management
During the second quarter of 2017, fully applied risk-weighted assets (RWA) increased by CHF 14.9 billion to CHF 236.7 billion, driven by methodology, policy changes and model updates of CHF 14.0 billion and asset size and other movements of CHF 6.3 billion, partly offset by currency effects of CHF 2.9 billion and a reduction in regulatory add-ons of CHF 2.5 billion.

Credit risk
Credit risk RWA increased by CHF 10.4 billion to CHF 126.8 billion as of 30 June 2017.
RWA increased by CHF 13.7 billion due to methodology, policy changes and model updates. An increase of CHF 5.1 billion resulted from the implementation of changes to the probability of default (PD) and loss given default (LGD) parameters for income-producing real estate exposures (IPRE), of which CHF 4.3 billion was in Personal & Corporate Banking and CHF 0.8 billion in Wealth Management. A CHF 4.7 billion increase resulted from changes to LGD parameters for exposures to multinationals, sovereigns and financial institutions, of which CHF 3.6 billion was in the Investment Bank. An increase of CHF 2.5 billion was due to higher RWA for derivative exposures, driven by an update of the stress period used for the Basel III exposure-at-default calculation, mainly in the Investment Bank. Furthermore, a CHF 0.9 billion increase was driven by the implementation of changes to PD and LGD parameters for Lombard exposures in Wealth Management and of revised credit conversion factors (CCFs) for construction loans in Personal & Corporate Banking.
These increases were partly offset by a net CHF 2.1 billion reduction in FINMA regulatory add-ons, which were reduced by CHF 2.0 billion in Personal & Corporate Banking, CHF 0.4 billion in Wealth Management and CHF 0.5 billion in the Investment Bank, following FINMA approval of the aforementioned updates to PD and LGD parameters. Regulatory add-ons from internal ratings-based (IRB) multipliers increased by CHF 0.8 billion, primarily on Investment Bank exposures to corporates.
We anticipate that additional methodology changes and model updates, including the remainder of the adjustments to the PD and LGD factors, CCF and scheduled increases in the FINMA-required multiplier for Investment Bank exposures to corporates will increase credit risk RWA by around CHF 4 billion in the second half of 2017. The extent and timing of further RWA increases may vary as methodology changes and model updates are completed and receive regulatory approval, and regulatory-imposed multipliers are adjusted. In addition, changes in composition of the relevant portfolios and other factors will affect our RWA. Our estimates of future regulatory-driven RWA increases do not reflect mitigating actions that we may take or further proposed changes to the Basel framework.
® Refer to “Credit risk models” in the “Risk management and control” section of our Annual Report 2016 for more information on loss given default, probability of default, credit conversion factors and exposure at default
Market risk RWA increased by CHF 4.5 billion due to asset size and other movements, mainly as a result of higher average stressed value-at-risk (SVaR) levels observed during the quarter, primarily in the Investment Bank’s Equities and Foreign Exchange, Rates and Credit businesses.
In the second half of 2017, we currently expect changes to the risks-not-in-VaR charge, which will be subject to FINMA approval. Based on our current estimates, this is expected to result in an RWA increase of approximately CHF 2 billion, with an additional similar effect in 2018.

Operational risk
Operational risk RWA were unchanged at CHF 79.4 billion.

1 Includes equity exposures in the banking book according to the simple risk weight method. 2 Includes settlement risk and business transfers. 3 Non-counterparty-related risk includes deferred tax assets recognized for temporary differences (30 June 2017: CHF 9.4 billion; 31 March 2017: CHF 9.6 billion), property, equipment and software (30 June 2017: CHF 8.4 billion; 31 March 2017: CHF 8.3 billion) and other items (30 June 2017: CHF 0.1 billion; 31 March 2017: CHF 0.2 billion). 4 Corporate Center – Services market risk RWA were negative, as they included the effect of portfolio diversification across businesses. 5 Phase-out items are entirely related to non-counterparty-related risk RWA. 6 RWA held by business division and Corporate Center unit. 7 Represents RWA held by Corporate Center – Group ALM that are directly associated with activity managed centrally on behalf of the business divisions and other Corporate Center units. For the purpose of attributing equity under the revised framework effective as of 1 January 2017, these resources are allocated to the business divisions and other Corporate Center units, primarily based on the level of high-quality liquid assets needed to meet the Group’s minimum liquidity coverage ratio requirement of 110%. Refer to “Equity attribution framework“ in the “Capital management“ section of our Annual Report 2016 for more information. |

Leverage ratio denominator
During the second quarter of 2017, the fully applied leverage ratio denominator (LRD) decreased by CHF 20 billion to CHF 861 billion, driven by currency effects of CHF 16 billion, asset size and other movements of CHF 3 billion and incremental netting and collateral mitigation of CHF 2 billion.

1 Excludes positive replacement values, cash collateral receivables on derivative instruments, cash collateral on securities borrowed, reverse repurchase agreements, margin loans and prime brokerage receivables related to securities financing transactions, which are presented separately under Derivative exposures and Securities financing transactions in this table. |
Currency effects mainly reflect the weakening of the US dollar against the Swiss franc. The LRD movements described below exclude currency effects.
The decrease from asset size and other movements of CHF 3 billion was driven by a reduction of CHF 3 billion in off-balance sheet items and a decrease of CHF 2 billion in securities financing transactions (SFTs), partly offset by higher on-balance sheet exposures (excluding derivatives and SFTs) of CHF 1 billion.
Off-balance sheet items decreased by CHF 3 billion primarily due to client-driven reductions, mainly in the Investment Bank.
The decrease of CHF 2 billion in SFTs was primarily due to client-driven reductions in our Foreign Exchange, Rates and Credit business within the Investment Bank.
On-balance sheet exposures (excluding derivatives and SFTs) increased by CHF 1 billion due to client-driven increases of CHF 5 billion in trading portfolio assets and financial assets designated at fair value, available for sale and held to maturity, mainly in the Investment Bank, as well as due to higher lending assets of CHF 4 billion, primarily relating to Lombard lending in Wealth Management. These increases were largely offset by a decrease in cash and balances with central banks of CHF 8 billion, primarily reflecting higher funding utilization by the business divisions, partly offset by various debt issuances and rebalancing within our high-quality liquid assets portfolio.

1 Represents the difference between the IFRS and the regulatory scope of consolidation, which is the applicable scope for the LRD calculation. 2 Consists of positive replacement values, cash collateral receivables on derivative instruments, cash collateral on securities borrowed, reverse repurchase agreements, margin loans and prime brokerage receivables related to securities financing transactions in accordance with the regulatory scope of consolidation, which are presented separately under Derivative exposures and Securities financing transactions. 3 LRD held by business division and Corporate Center unit. 4 Represents LRD held by Corporate Center – Group ALM that is directly associated with activity managed centrally on behalf of the business divisions and other Corporate Center units. For the purpose of attributing equity under the revised framework effective as of 1 January 2017, these resources are allocated to the business divisions and other Corporate Center units, primarily based on the level of high-quality liquid assets needed to meet the Group’s minimum liquidity coverage ratio requirement of 110%. Refer to “Equity attribution framework” in the ”Capital management” section of our Annual Report 2016 for more information. |

Equity attribution and return on attributed equity
Average attributed equity to business divisions and Corporate Center decreased by CHF 0.9 billion to CHF 52.7 billion in the second quarter of 2017 compared with the first quarter. Average attributed tangible equity decreased by CHF 0.7 billion to CHF 46.4 billion. The decrease in average attributed equity as well as average tangible equity was driven by a decrease in Group items, mainly reflecting the dividend distribution to shareholders for 2016. Average equity for other business divisions and Corporate Center was broadly unchanged from the prior quarter.
Change in equity attribution framework in 2017
In the first quarter of 2017, we implemented an updated equity attribution framework that reflects the revision of the too big to fail provisions applicable to Swiss systemically relevant banks.
Effective 1 January 2017, the weighting used for the attribution of tangible equity has been changed from an equal driver weighting of one-third each for average fully applied RWA, average fully applied leverage ratio denominator (LRD) and risk-based capital (RBC) to 50% each for RWA and LRD. Average fully applied RWA and LRD continue to be converted to their common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital equivalents based on capital ratios of 11% and 3.75%, respectively, which are above future regulatory requirements. If the tangible attributed equity calculated under the weighted-driver approach is less than the CET1 capital equivalent of RBC for any business division, the CET1 capital equivalent of RBC will be used as a floor for that business division.
Under the revised framework, LRD and RWA held
by Corporate Center – Group Asset and Liability Management
(Group ALM) directly associated with activities that Corporate Center – Group
ALM manages centrally on behalf of the business divisions and other Corporate
Center units are allocated to those business divisions and other Corporate Center
units for the purpose of equity attribution. This allocation is primarily based
on the level of high-quality liquid assets that is needed to meet the Group’s
minimum liquidity coverage ratio requirement of 110%. Corporate Center – Group
ALM continues to retain attributed equity related to liquidity and funding
surpluses, i.e., at levels above regulatory requirements, together with that
related to its own activities.
In addition to tangible equity, we continue to allocate equity to our businesses to support goodwill and intangible assets. However, following the change in the first quarter of 2017, we now also attribute to the business divisions equity for goodwill and intangible assets resulting from the acquisition of PaineWebber that until 1 January 2017 was held centrally in Group items within Corporate Center – Services under the previous framework.
We now attribute all Basel III capital deduction items to Group items. These deduction items include deferred tax assets, which constitute the largest component of Group items, unrealized gains from cash flow hedges and compensation- and own-share-related components. Prior to 2017, Group items only included an amount of attributed equity for certain capital deduction items. The total amount of attributed equity now equals average shareholders’ equity.
® Refer to the “Capital management” section of our Annual Report 2016 for more information on the equity attribution framework

Capital management
UBS Group AG shares are listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange (SIX). They are also listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) as global registered shares. Each share has a par value of CHF 0.10 per share.
Shares issued increased slightly in the second quarter of 2017 due to the issuance of shares out of conditional share capital upon exercise of employee share options.
Treasury shares, which are primarily held to hedge our share delivery obligations related to employee share-based compensation and participation plans, totaled 135 million shares as of 30 June 2017. Treasury shares decreased by 2 million shares during the second quarter of 2017 mainly due to the delivery of treasury shares under share-based compensation plans, partly offset by purchases.

Notes to the UBS Group AG interim consolidated financial statements (unaudited)
Notes to the UBS Group AG interim
consolidated financial statements (unaudited)
The consolidated financial statements (the Financial Statements) of UBS Group AG and its subsidiaries (together “UBS” or “the Group”) are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), and are presented in Swiss francs (CHF), which is also the functional currency of UBS Group AG and of UBS AG's Head Office and its Swiss-based operations. These interim Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting.
In preparing these interim Financial Statements, the same accounting policies and methods of computation have been applied as in the UBS Group AG consolidated annual Financial Statements for the period ended 31 December 2016, except for the changes described below and in “Note 1 Basis of accounting” in the “Consolidated financial statements” section of the first quarter 2017 report. These interim Financial Statements are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with UBS Group AG’s audited consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report 2016. In the opinion of management, all necessary adjustments were made for a fair presentation of UBS’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Preparation of these interim Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, expenses and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates and assumptions are based on the best available information. Actual results in the future could differ from such estimates, and such differences may be material to the Financial Statements. Revisions to estimates, based on regular reviews, are recognized in the period in which they occur. For more information on areas of estimation uncertainty considered to require critical judgment, refer to “Note 1a Significant accounting policies” in the “Consolidated financial statements” section of the Annual Report 2016.
Classification of financial assets containing prepayment features with negative compensation under IFRS 9, Financial Instruments
In April 2017, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued the Exposure Draft Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation, which proposed an amendment to IFRS 9, Financial Instruments that would allow amortized cost accounting for instruments that provide for two-way compensation if a prepayment occurs. These features are common in Swiss private mortgages and corporate loans.
In July 2017, the IASB approved the amendment, subject to some refinements. UBS expects to early adopt the amendment and continue measuring Swiss private mortgages and corporate loans at amortized cost upon adoption of IFRS 9 on 1 January 2018.
IFRIC 23, Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments
In June 2017, the IASB issued IFRIC Interpretation 23, Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments (IFRIC 23), which addresses how uncertain tax positions should be accounted for under IFRS. Under this interpretation, IFRIC 23 requires that, where acceptance of the tax treatment by the relevant tax authority is considered probable, it should be assumed as an accounting recognition matter that treatment of the item will ultimately be accepted. Therefore, no tax provision would be required in such cases. However, if acceptance of the tax treatment is not considered probable, the entity is required to reflect that uncertainty using an expected value (i.e., a probability-weighted approach) or the single most likely amount.
IFRIC 23 is mandatorily effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019 and any resulting change to the tax provisions should be recognized in retained earnings. UBS is in the process of carrying out a detailed review on the impacts arising from this interpretation, although it is not expected to have a significant effect on the Group's financial statements.

UBS‘s businesses are organized globally into five business divisions: Wealth Management, Wealth Management Americas, Personal & Corporate Banking, Asset Management and the Investment Bank, all of which are supported by Corporate Center. The five business divisions qualify as reportable segments for the purpose of segment reporting and, together with Corporate Center and its units, reflect the management structure of the Group. Corporate Center – Non-core and Legacy Portfolio is managed and reported as a separate reportable segment within Corporate Center. Refer to “Note 1a item 2 Segment reporting” and “Note 2 Segment reporting” in the “Consolidated financial statements” section of the Annual Report 2016 for more information on the Group’s reporting segments.

1 Includes credits related to the UK bank levy (second quarter of 2017: CHF 46 million; first quarter of 2017: CHF 25 million). 2 Reflects the net increase in provisions for litigation, regulatory and similar matters recognized in the income statement. Refer to Note 14 for more information. Also includes recoveries from third parties (second quarter of 2017: CHF 1 million; first quarter of 2017: CHF 1 million; second quarter of 2016: CHF 0 million). 3 Includes restructuring expenses. Refer to Note 16 for more information. |
The Group recognized an income tax expense of CHF 327 million for the second quarter of 2017 compared with an income tax expense of CHF 376 million for the second quarter of 2016.
The current tax expense was CHF 194 million compared with CHF 227 million, approximately half of which was attributable to UBS Switzerland AG in both periods.
The deferred tax expense was CHF 133 million in the second quarter of 2017 compared with CHF 149 million in the second quarter of 2016, both mainly relating to the amortization of deferred tax assets previously recognized in relation to Swiss tax losses carried forward and deductible temporary differences to reflect their offset against profits for the quarter.
The interim Financial Statements have been prepared on the basis that UBS Limited is able to offset part of its taxable profits with prior-year tax losses transferred from UBS AG in 2014 and 2015. During 2016, the UK tax authorities indicated that they do not agree with this tax return filing position. If the authorities ultimately prevail on this point, UBS Limited would incur a reduction in recognized deferred tax assets of approximately CHF 60 million, as well as additional current tax expenses for periods from 2014 onward of approximately CHF 85 million.

1 Bifurcated embedded derivatives are presented on the same balance sheet lines as their host contracts and are excluded from this table. As of 30 June 2017, net bifurcated embedded derivative assets held at fair value totaling CHF 31 million (of which CHF 36 million were net Level 2 assets and CHF 5 million net Level 2 liabilities) were recognized on the balance sheet within Due to customers and Debt issued. As of 31 March 2017, net bifurcated embedded derivative assets held at fair value totaling CHF 45 million (of which CHF 55 million were net Level 2 assets and CHF 10 million net Level 2 liabilities) were recognized on the balance sheet within Due to customers and Debt issued. As of 31 December 2016, net bifurcated embedded derivative assets held at fair value totaling CHF 50 million (of which CHF 58 million were net Level 2 assets and CHF 8 million net Level 2 liabilities) were recognized on the balance sheet within Due to customers and Debt issued. 2 Financial assets held for trading exclude precious metals and other physical commodities. 3 Other assets and other liabilities primarily consist of assets held for sale as well as assets and liabilities of a disposal group held for sale, which are measured at the lower of their net carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Refer to Note 16 for more information. |
All financial and non-financial assets and liabilities measured or disclosed at fair value are categorized into one of three fair value hierarchy levels. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. For disclosure purposes, the level in the hierarchy within which the instrument is classified in its entirety is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the position’s fair value measurement:
– Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
– Level 2 – valuation techniques for which all significant inputs are, or are based on, observable market data or
– Level 3 – valuation techniques for which significant inputs are not based on observable market data.

Day-1 reserves
The table below summarizes the changes in deferred day-1 profit or loss reserves during the respective period.
Deferred day-1 profit or loss related to financial instruments other than financial assets available for sale is released into Net trading income when pricing of equivalent products or the underlying parameters become observable or when the transaction is closed out.
Deferred day-1 profit or loss related to financial assets available for sale is released into Other comprehensive income when pricing of equivalent products or the underlying parameters become observable and is released into Other income when the assets are sold.

c) Transfers between Level 1 and Level 2
The amounts disclosed reflect transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 for instruments that were held for the entire reporting period.
Assets totaling approximately CHF 0.7 billion, which were mainly comprised of financial assets designated at fair value, primarily corporate and municipal bonds, were transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 during the first six months of 2017, generally due to increased levels of trading activity observed within the market. Liabilities transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 during the first six months of 2017 were negligible.
Assets totaling approximately CHF 0.2 billion, which were mainly comprised of financial assets available for sale, largely government bills / bonds, were transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 during the first six months of 2017, generally due to diminished levels of trading activity observed in the market. Liabilities transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 during the first six months of 2017 were negligible.

d) Level 3 instruments: valuation techniques and inputs
The table below presents material Level 3 assets and liabilities together with the valuation techniques used to measure fair value, the significant inputs used in the valuation technique that are considered unobservable and a range of values for those unobservable inputs.
The range of values represents the highest and lowest level input used in the valuation techniques. Therefore, the range does not reflect the level of uncertainty regarding a particular input, but rather the different underlying characteristics of the relevant assets and liabilities. The ranges and weighted averages will vary from period to period and from parameter to parameter based on characteristics of the instruments held at each balance sheet date. Further, the ranges and weighted averages of unobservable inputs may differ across other financial institutions due to the diversity of the products in each firm’s inventory.
The significant unobservable inputs disclosed in the table below are generally consistent with those included in “Note 22 Fair value measurement” in the “Consolidated financial statements” section of the Annual Report 2016. A description of the potential effect that a change in each unobservable input in isolation may have on a fair value measurement, including information to facilitate an understanding of factors that give rise to the input ranges shown, is also provided in “Note 22 Fair value measurement” in the “Consolidated financial statements” section of the Annual Report 2016.

1 The ranges of significant unobservable inputs are represented in points, percentages and basis points. Points are a percentage of par (e.g., 100 points would be 100% of par). 2 Weighted averages are provided for non-derivative financial instruments and were calculated by weighting inputs based on the fair values of the respective instruments. Weighted averages are not provided for inputs related to derivative contracts as this would not be meaningful. 3 Valuation techniques, significant unobservable inputs and the respective input ranges for issued debt instruments and over-the-counter debt instruments are the same as the equivalent derivative or structured financing instruments presented elsewhere in this table. |

e) Level 3 instruments: sensitivity to changes in unobservable input assumptions
The table below summarizes those financial assets and liabilities classified as Level 3 for which a change in one or more of the unobservable inputs to reflect reasonably possible alternative assumptions would change fair value significantly, and the estimated effect thereof.
The table shown presents the favorable and unfavorable effects for each class of financial assets and liabilities for which the potential change in fair value is considered significant. The sensitivity data presented represent an estimation of valuation uncertainty based on reasonably possible alternative values for Level 3 inputs at the balance sheet date and does not represent the estimated effect of stress scenarios. Typically, these financial assets and liabilities are sensitive to a combination of inputs from Levels 1 through 3. Although well-defined interdependencies may exist between Levels 1–2 and Level 3 parameters (e.g., between interest rates, which are generally Level 1 or Level 2, and prepayments, which are generally Level 3), these have not been incorporated in the table. Further, direct interrelationships between the Level 3 parameters are not a significant element of the valuation uncertainty.

Note 9 Fair value measurement (continued)
f) Level 3 instruments: movements during the period
Significant changes in Level 3 instruments
The table on the following pages presents additional information about material Level 3 assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Level 3 assets and liabilities may be hedged with instruments classified as Level 1 or Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy and, as a result, realized and unrealized gains and losses included in the table may not include the effect of related hedging activity. Furthermore, the realized and unrealized gains and losses presented within the table are not limited solely to those arising from Level 3 inputs, as valuations are generally derived from both observable and unobservable parameters.
Assets and liabilities transferred into or out of Level 3 are presented as if those assets or liabilities had been transferred at the beginning of the year.
Assets transferred into and out of Level 3 totaled CHF 0.4 billion and CHF 0.8 billion, respectively. Transfers into Level 3 were primarily comprised of corporate and municipal bonds and equity / index contracts, and were mainly due to decreased observability of the respective market pricing inputs. Transfers out of Level 3 were primarily comprised of credit derivative and equity / index contracts, reflecting increased observability of the respective credit spread and equity volatility inputs.
Liabilities transferred into and out of Level 3 totaled CHF 0.4 billion and CHF 1.9 billion, respectively. Transfers into Level 3 were primarily comprised of equity-linked issued debt instruments and equity / index contracts, due to decreased observability of the respective equity volatility inputs used to determine the fair value of the options embedded in these structures. Transfers out of Level 3 were primarily comprised of equity-linked issued debt instruments, equity / index and credit derivative contracts resulting from changes in the availability of the observable equity volatility and credit spread inputs used to determine the fair value of the options embedded in these structures.

The fair values included in the table above were calculated for disclosure purposes only. The fair value valuation techniques and assumptions relate only to the fair value of UBS’s financial instruments not measured at fair value. Other institutions may use different methods and assumptions for their fair value estimation, and therefore such fair value disclosures cannot necessarily be compared from one financial institution to another.

1 In cases where replacement values are presented on a net basis on the balance sheet, the respective notional values of the netted replacement values are still presented on a gross basis. 2 Other notional values relate to derivatives that are cleared through either a central counterparty or an exchange. Many of these derivatives are either legally or economically settled on a daily basis. The residual unsettled fair value of these derivatives and the fair value of other derivatives that are presented on the balance sheet net of the corresponding cash margin, both within Cash collateral receivables on derivative instruments and Cash collateral payables on derivative instruments, was not material for all periods presented. 3 Changes in the fair value of purchased and sold non-derivative financial instruments between trade date and settlement date are recognized as replacement values. 4 Financial assets and liabilities are presented net on the balance sheet if UBS has the unconditional and legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts, both in the normal course of business and in the event of default, bankruptcy or insolvency of the entity and all of the counterparties, and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 5 Reflects the netting potential in accordance with enforceable master netting and similar arrangements where not all criteria for a net presentation on the balance sheet have been met. Refer to “Note 24 Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities” in the “Consolidated financial statements” section of the Annual Report 2016 for more information. |

1 Financial assets and liabilities are presented net on the balance sheet if UBS has the unconditional and legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts, both in the normal course of business and in the event of default, bankruptcy or insolvency of the entity and all of the counterparties, and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Effective 3 January 2017, interest rate swaps and credit derivatives transacted with the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) were legally converted from the previous collateral model to a settlement model resulting in a derecognition of the associated assets and liabilities, with UBS no longer applying IAS 32 netting principles. Refer to “Note 10 Derivative instruments” in the “Consolidated financial statements” section of the first quarter 2017 report for more information. 2 Reflects the netting potential in accordance with enforceable master netting and similar arrangements where not all criteria for a net presentation on the balance sheet have been met. Refer to “Note 24 Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities” in the “Consolidated financial statements” section of the Annual Report 2016 for more information. |

1 Comprises provisions for losses resulting from security risks and transaction processing risks. 2 Comprises provisions for losses resulting from legal, liability and compliance risks. 3 Consists of personnel-related restructuring provisions of CHF 95 million as of 30 June 2017 (31 March 2017: CHF 109 million; 31 December 2016: CHF 150 million) and provisions for onerous lease contracts of CHF 290 million as of 30 June 2017 (31 March 2017: CHF 324 million; 31 December 2016: CHF 348 million). 4 Consists of reinstatement costs for leasehold improvements of CHF 88 million as of 30 June 2017 (31 March 2017: CHF 88 million; 31 December 2016: CHF 87 million) and provisions for onerous lease contracts of CHF 45 million as of 30 June 2017 (31 March 2017: CHF 50 million; 31 December 2016: CHF 55 million). 5 Includes provisions for sabbatical and anniversary awards as well as provisions for severance that are not part of restructuring provisions. |
Restructuring provisions primarily relate to onerous lease contracts and severance payments. The use of onerous lease provisions is driven by the maturities of the underlying lease contracts. Severance-related provisions are used within a short time period, usually within six months, but potential changes in amount may be triggered when natural staff attrition reduces the number of people affected by a restructuring and therefore the estimated costs.
Information on provisions and contingent liabilities in respect of litigation, regulatory and similar matters, as a class, is included in Note 14b. There are no material contingent liabilities associated with the other classes of provisions.
b) Litigation, regulatory and similar matters
The Group operates in a legal and regulatory environment that exposes it to significant litigation and similar risks arising from disputes and regulatory proceedings. As a result, UBS (which for purposes of this Note may refer to UBS Group AG and / or one or more of its subsidiaries, as applicable) is involved in various disputes and legal proceedings, including litigation, arbitration, and regulatory and criminal investigations.
Such matters are subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome and the timing of resolution are often difficult to predict, particularly in the earlier stages of a case. There are also situations where the Group may enter into a settlement agreement. This may occur in order to avoid the expense, management distraction or reputational implications of continuing to contest liability, even for those matters for which the Group believes it should be exonerated. The uncertainties inherent in all such matters affect the amount and timing of any potential outflows for both matters with respect to which provisions have been established and other contingent liabilities. The Group makes provisions for such matters brought against it when, in the opinion of management after seeking legal advice, it is more likely than not that the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required, and the amount can be reliably estimated. Where these factors are otherwise satisfied, a provision may be established for claims that have not yet been asserted against the Group, but are nevertheless expected to be, based on the Group’s experience with similar asserted claims. If any of those conditions is not met, such matters result in contingent liabilities. If the amount of an obligation cannot be reliably estimated, a liability exists that is not recognized even if an outflow of resources is probable. Accordingly, no provision is established even if the potential outflow of resources with respect to select matters could be significant.
Specific litigation, regulatory and other matters are described below, including all such matters that management considers to be material and others that management believes to be of significance due to potential financial, reputational and other effects. The amount of damages claimed, the size of a transaction or other information is provided where available and appropriate in order to assist users in considering the magnitude of potential exposures.
96
Note 14 Provisions and contingent liabilities (continued)
In the case of certain matters below, we state that we have established a provision, and for the other matters, we make no such statement. When we make this statement and we expect disclosure of the amount of a provision to prejudice seriously our position with other parties in the matter because it would reveal what UBS believes to be the probable and reliably estimable outflow, we do not disclose that amount. In some cases we are subject to confidentiality obligations that preclude such disclosure. With respect to the matters for which we do not state whether we have established a provision, either (a) we have not established a provision, in which case the matter is treated as a contingent liability under the applicable accounting standard, or (b) we have established a provision but expect disclosure of that fact to prejudice seriously our position with other parties in the matter because it would reveal the fact that UBS believes an outflow of resources to be probable and reliably estimable.
With respect to certain litigation, regulatory and similar matters for which we have established provisions, we are able to estimate the expected timing of outflows. However, the aggregate amount of the expected outflows for those matters for which we are able to estimate expected timing is immaterial relative to our current and expected levels of liquidity over the relevant time periods.
The aggregate amount provisioned for litigation, regulatory and similar matters as a class is disclosed in Note 14a above. It is not practicable to provide an aggregate estimate of liability for our litigation, regulatory and similar matters as a class of contingent liabilities. Doing so would require us to provide speculative legal assessments as to claims and proceedings that involve unique fact patterns or novel legal theories, that have not yet been initiated or are at early stages of adjudication, or as to which alleged damages have not been quantified by the claimants. Although we therefore cannot provide a numerical estimate of the future losses that could arise from litigation, regulatory and similar matters, we believe that the aggregate amount of possible future losses from this class that are more than remote substantially exceeds the level of current provisions. Litigation, regulatory and similar matters may also result in non-monetary penalties and consequences. For example, the Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA) described in item 5 of this Note, which we entered into with the US Department of Justice (DOJ), Criminal Division, Fraud Section in connection with our submissions of benchmark interest rates, including, among others, the British Bankers’ Association London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), was terminated by the DOJ based on its determination that we had committed a US crime in relation to foreign exchange matters. As a consequence, UBS AG pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud for conduct in the LIBOR matter, paid a USD 203 million fine and is subject to a three-year term of probation. A guilty plea to, or conviction of, a crime (including as a result of termination of the NPA) could have material consequences for UBS. Resolution of regulatory proceedings may require us to obtain waivers of regulatory disqualifications to maintain certain operations, may entitle regulatory authorities to limit, suspend or terminate licenses and regulatory authorizations, and may permit financial market utilities to limit, suspend or terminate our participation in such utilities. Failure to obtain such waivers, or any limitation, suspension or termination of licenses, authorizations or participations, could have material consequences for UBS.
The risk of loss associated with litigation, regulatory and similar matters is a component of operational risk for purposes of determining our capital requirements. Information concerning our capital requirements and the calculation of operational risk for this purpose is included in the “Capital management” section of this report.

Note 14 Provisions and contingent liabilities (continued)
1. Inquiries regarding cross-border wealth management businesses
Tax and regulatory authorities in a number of countries have made inquiries, served requests for information or examined employees located in their respective jurisdictions relating to the cross-border wealth management services provided by UBS and other financial institutions. It is possible that implementation of automatic tax information exchange and other measures relating to cross-border provision of financial services could give rise to further inquiries in the future. UBS has received disclosure orders from the Swiss Federal Tax Administration (FTA) to transfer information based on requests for international administrative assistance in tax matters. The requests concern a number of UBS account numbers pertaining to current and former clients and are based on data from 2006 and 2008. UBS has taken steps to inform affected clients about the administrative assistance proceedings and their procedural rights, including the right to appeal. The requests are based on data received from the German authorities, who seized certain data related to UBS clients booked in Switzerland during their investigations and have apparently shared this data with other European countries. UBS expects additional countries to file similar requests. In addition, the Swiss Federal Supreme Court ruled in 2016 that the double taxation agreement between the Netherlands and Switzerland provides a sufficient legal basis for an administrative assistance group request without specifying the names of the targeted taxpayers, which makes it more likely that similar requests for administrative assistance will be granted by the FTA.
The Swiss Federal Administrative Court ruled in 2016 that in the administrative assistance proceedings related to a French bulk request, UBS has the right to appeal all final FTA client data disclosure orders.
Since 2013, UBS (France) S.A. and UBS AG and certain former employees have been under investigation in France for alleged complicity in having illicitly solicited clients on French territory and regarding the laundering of proceeds of tax fraud and of banking and financial solicitation by unauthorized persons. In connection with this investigation, the investigating judges ordered UBS AG to provide bail (“caution”) of EUR 1.1 billion and UBS (France) S.A. to post bail of EUR 40 million, which was reduced on appeal to EUR 10 million.
In February 2016, the investigating judges
notified UBS AG and UBS (France) S.A. that they have closed their
investigation. In July 2016, UBS AG and UBS (France) S.A. received the National
Financial Prosecutor’s recommendation (“réquisitoire”). In March 2017,
the investigating judges issued the trial order (“ordonnance de renvoi”)
that charges UBS AG and UBS
(France) S.A., as well as various former employees, with illicit solicitation
of clients on French territory and with participation in the laundering of the
proceeds of tax fraud, and which transfers the case to court. The trial
schedule has not yet been announced.
In February 2016, UBS was notified by the Belgian investigating judge that it is under formal investigation (“inculpé”) regarding the laundering of proceeds of tax fraud and of banking, financial solicitation by unauthorized persons and serious tax fraud.
In 2015, UBS received inquiries from the US Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York and from the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which are investigating potential sales to US persons of bearer bonds and other unregistered securities in possible violation of the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 (TEFRA) and the registration requirements of the US securities laws. UBS is cooperating with the authorities in these investigations.
UBS has, and reportedly numerous other financial institutions have, received inquiries from authorities concerning accounts relating to the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) and other constituent soccer associations and related persons and entities. UBS is cooperating with authorities in these inquiries.
Our balance sheet at 30 June 2017 reflected provisions with respect to matters described in this item 1 in an amount that UBS believes to be appropriate under the applicable accounting standard. As in the case of other matters for which we have established provisions, the future outflow of resources in respect of such matters cannot be determined with certainty based on currently available information and accordingly may ultimately prove to be substantially greater (or may be less) than the provision that we have recognized.
2. Claims related to sales of residential mortgage-backed securities and mortgages
From 2002 through 2007, prior to the crisis in the US residential loan market, UBS was a substantial issuer and underwriter of US residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) and was a purchaser and seller of US residential mortgages. A subsidiary of UBS, UBS Real Estate Securities Inc. (UBS RESI), acquired pools of residential mortgage loans from originators and (through an affiliate) deposited them into securitization trusts. In this manner, from 2004 through 2007, UBS RESI sponsored approximately USD 80 billion in RMBS, based on the original principal balances of the securities issued.
98
Note 14 Provisions and contingent liabilities (continued)
UBS RESI also sold pools of loans acquired from originators to third-party purchasers. These whole loan sales during the period 2004 through 2007 totaled approximately USD 19 billion in original principal balance.
We were not a significant originator of US residential loans. A branch of UBS originated approximately USD 1.5 billion in US residential mortgage loans during the period in which it was active from 2006 to 2008, and securitized less than half of these loans.
RMBS-related lawsuits concerning disclosures: UBS has been named as a defendant in lawsuits relating to its role as underwriter and issuer of RMBS.
In April 2017, UBS reached a final settlement in a lawsuit brought in the US District Court for the District of Kansas by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) as conservator for certain failed credit unions, asserting misstatements and omissions in the offering documents for USD 1.15 billion in original principal balance of RMBS purchased by the credit unions. UBS and the NCUA settled this matter for USD 445 million. A similar case brought by the NCUA in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York (SDNY) was settled in 2016.
UBS has indemnification rights against surviving third-party issuers or originators for losses or liabilities incurred by UBS in connection with certain of these matters.
Lawsuits related to contractual representations and warranties concerning mortgages and RMBS: When UBS acted as an RMBS sponsor or mortgage seller, we generally made certain representations relating to the characteristics of the underlying loans. In the event of a material breach of these representations, we were in certain circumstances contractually obligated to repurchase the loans to which the representations related or to indemnify certain parties against losses. UBS has received demands to repurchase US residential mortgage loans as to which UBS made certain representations at the time the loans were transferred to the securitization trust aggregating USD 4.1 billion in original principal balance. Of this amount, UBS considers claims relating to USD 2 billion in original principal balance to be resolved, including claims barred by the statute of limitations. Substantially all of the remaining claims are in litigation, including the matters described in the next paragraph. UBS believes that new demands to repurchase US residential mortgage loans are time-barred under a decision rendered by the New York Court of Appeals.
In 2012, certain RMBS trusts filed an action (Trustee Suit) in the SDNY seeking to enforce UBS RESI’s obligation to repurchase loans in the collateral pools for three RMBS securitizations with an original principal balance of approximately USD 2 billion, for which Assured Guaranty Municipal Corp., a financial guaranty insurance company, had previously demanded repurchase. Approximately 9,000 loans were at issue in a bench trial in the SDNY in 2016, following which the court issued an order ruling on numerous legal and factual issues and applying those rulings to 20 exemplar loans. The court further ordered that a lead master be appointed to apply the court’s rulings to the loans that remain at issue following the trial. With respect to the loans subject to the Trustee Suit that were originated by institutions still in existence, UBS intends to enforce its indemnity rights against those institutions.
Mortgage-related regulatory matters: In 2014, UBS received a subpoena from the US Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York issued pursuant to the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA), which seeks documents and information related to UBS’s RMBS business from 2005 through 2007. In 2015, the Eastern District of New York identified a number of transactions that are the focus of their inquiry, and has subsequently provided a revised list of transactions. We have provided and continue to provide information. UBS continues to respond to the FIRREA subpoena and to subpoenas from the New York State Attorney General and other state attorneys general relating to its RMBS business. In addition, UBS has also been responding to inquiries from both the Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (SIGTARP) (who is working in conjunction with the US Attorney’s Office for Connecticut and the DOJ) and the SEC relating to trading practices in connection with purchases and sales of mortgage-backed securities in the secondary market from 2009 through 2014. We are cooperating with the authorities in these matters.

Our balance sheet at 30 June 2017 reflected a provision with respect to matters described in this item 2 in an amount that UBS believes to be appropriate under the applicable accounting standard. As in the case of other matters for which we have established provisions, the future outflow of resources in respect of this matter cannot be determined with certainty based on currently available information and accordingly may ultimately prove to be substantially greater (or may be less) than the provision that we have recognized.
3. Madoff
In relation to the Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC (BMIS) investment fraud, UBS AG, UBS (Luxembourg) S.A. (now UBS Europe SE, Luxembourg branch) and certain other UBS subsidiaries have been subject to inquiries by a number of regulators, including the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) and the Luxembourg Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF). Those inquiries concerned two third-party funds established under Luxembourg law, substantially all assets of which were with BMIS, as well as certain funds established in offshore jurisdictions with either direct or indirect exposure to BMIS. These funds now face severe losses, and the Luxembourg funds are in liquidation. The last reported net asset value of the two Luxembourg funds before revelation of the Madoff scheme was approximately USD 1.7 billion in the aggregate although that figure likely includes fictitious profit reported by BMIS. The documentation establishing both funds identifies UBS entities in various roles, including custodian, administrator, manager, distributor and promoter, and indicates that UBS employees serve as board members. UBS Europe SE, Luxembourg branch, and certain other UBS subsidiaries are responding to inquiries by Luxembourg investigating authorities, without, however, being named as parties in those investigations.
In 2009 and 2010, the liquidators of the two Luxembourg funds filed claims on behalf of the funds against UBS entities, non-UBS entities and certain individuals, including current and former UBS employees. The amounts claimed are approximately EUR 890 million and EUR 305 million, respectively. The liquidators have filed supplementary claims for amounts that the funds may possibly be held liable to pay the trustee for the liquidation of BMIS (BMIS Trustee). These amounts claimed by the liquidator are approximately EUR 564 million and EUR 370 million, respectively.
In addition, a large number of alleged beneficiaries have filed claims against UBS entities (and non-UBS entities) for purported losses relating to the Madoff scheme. The majority of these cases are pending in Luxembourg, where appeals were filed by the claimants against the 2010 decisions of the court in which the claims in a number of test cases were held to be inadmissible. The Luxembourg Court of Appeal has found in favor of UBS and dismissed all of these test case appeals, confirming that the claims are inadmissible. The Luxembourg Supreme Court has also dismissed a further appeal brought by the claimant in one of the test cases.
In the US, the BMIS Trustee filed claims in 2010 against UBS entities, among others, in relation to the two Luxembourg funds and one of the offshore funds. The total amount claimed against all defendants in these actions was not less than USD 2 billion. Following a motion by UBS, in 2011, the SDNY dismissed all of the BMIS Trustee’s claims other than claims for recovery of fraudulent conveyances and preference payments that were allegedly transferred to UBS on the ground that the BMIS Trustee lacks standing to bring such claims. In 2013, the Second Circuit affirmed the District Court’s decision and, in 2014, the US Supreme Court denied the BMIS Trustee’s petition seeking review of the Second Circuit ruling. In 2016, the bankruptcy court issued an opinion dismissing the remaining claims for recovery of subsequent transfers of fraudulent conveyances and preference payments on the ground that the US Bankruptcy Code does not apply to transfers that occurred outside the US, and judgment was entered in March 2017. The BMIS Trustee has appealed that ruling. In 2014, several claims, including a purported class action, were filed in the US by BMIS customers against UBS entities, asserting claims similar to the ones made by the BMIS Trustee, seeking unspecified damages. One claim was voluntarily withdrawn by the plaintiff. In 2015, following a motion by UBS, the SDNY dismissed the two remaining claims on the basis that the New York courts did not have jurisdiction to hear the claims against the UBS entities. The plaintiff in one of those claims has appealed the dismissal.
In Germany, certain clients of UBS are exposed to Madoff-managed positions through third-party funds and funds administered by UBS entities in Germany. A small number of claims have been filed with respect to such funds. In 2015, a court of appeal ordered UBS to pay EUR 49 million, plus interest of approximately EUR 15.3 million.

4. Puerto Rico
Declines since August 2013 in the market prices of Puerto Rico municipal bonds and of closed-end funds (funds) that are sole-managed and co-managed by UBS Trust Company of Puerto Rico and distributed by UBS Financial Services Incorporated of Puerto Rico (UBS PR) have led to multiple regulatory inquiries, as well as customer complaints and arbitrations with aggregate claimed damages of USD 2.1 billion, of which claims with aggregate claimed damages of USD 1.1 billion have been resolved through settlements, arbitration or withdrawal of the claim. The claims are filed by clients in Puerto Rico who own the funds or Puerto Rico municipal bonds and / or who used their UBS account assets as collateral for UBS non-purpose loans; customer complaint and arbitration allegations include fraud, misrepresentation and unsuitability of the funds and of the loans. A shareholder derivative action was filed in 2014 against various UBS entities and current and certain former directors of the funds, alleging hundreds of millions of US dollars in losses in the funds. In 2015, defendants’ motion to dismiss was denied. Defendants’ requests for permission to appeal that ruling were denied by the Puerto Rico Court of Appeals and the Puerto Rico Supreme Court. In 2014, a federal class action complaint also was filed against various UBS entities, certain members of UBS PR senior management and the co-manager of certain of the funds, seeking damages for investor losses in the funds during the period from May 2008 through May 2014. In 2016, defendants’ motion to dismiss was granted in part and denied in part. In 2015, a class action was filed in Puerto Rico state court against UBS PR seeking equitable relief in the form of a stay of any effort by UBS PR to collect on non-purpose loans it acquired from UBS Bank USA in December 2013 based on plaintiffs’ allegation that the loans are not valid. The trial court denied defendant’s motion to dismiss the action based on a forum selection clause in the loan agreements. The Puerto Rico Supreme Court reversed that decision and remanded the case back to the trial court for reconsideration.
In 2014, UBS reached a settlement with the Office of the Commissioner of Financial Institutions for the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (OCFI) in connection with OCFI’s examination of UBS’s operations from January 2006 through September 2013, pursuant to which UBS is paying up to an aggregate of USD 7.7 million in investor education contributions and restitution.
In 2015, the SEC and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) announced settlements with UBS PR of their separate investigations stemming from the 2013 market events. Without admitting or denying the findings in either matter, UBS PR agreed in the SEC settlement to pay USD 15 million and USD 18.5 million in the FINRA matter. We also understand that the DOJ is conducting a criminal inquiry into the impermissible reinvestment of non-purpose loan proceeds. We are cooperating with the authorities in this inquiry.
In 2011, a purported derivative action was filed on behalf of the Employee Retirement System of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (System) against over 40 defendants, including UBS PR, which was named in connection with its underwriting and consulting services. Plaintiffs alleged that defendants violated their purported fiduciary duties and contractual obligations in connection with the issuance and underwriting of USD 3 billion of bonds by the System in 2008 and sought damages of over USD 800 million. In December 2016, the court granted the System’s request to join the action as a plaintiff, but ordered that plaintiffs must file an amended complaint. In March 2017, the court denied defendants’ motion to dismiss the amended complaint.
Also, in 2013, an SEC Administrative Law Judge dismissed a case brought by the SEC against two UBS executives, finding no violations. The charges had stemmed from the SEC’s investigation of UBS’s sale of closed-end funds in 2008 and 2009, which UBS settled in 2012. Beginning in 2012, two federal class action complaints, which were subsequently consolidated, were filed against various UBS entities, certain of the funds and certain members of UBS PR senior management, seeking damages for investor losses in the funds during the period from January 2008 through May 2012 based on allegations similar to those in the SEC action. In 2016, the court denied plaintiffs’ motion for class certification. In March 2017, the US Court of Appeals for the First Circuit denied plaintiffs’ petition seeking permission to bring an interlocutory appeal challenging the denial of their motion for class certification.

Notes to the UBS Group AG interim consolidated financial statements (unaudited)
Note 14 Provisions and contingent liabilities (continued)
In 2015, certain agencies and public corporations of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (Commonwealth) defaulted on certain interest payments, in 2016, the Commonwealth defaulted on payments on its general obligation debt (GO Bonds), and in 2017 the Commonwealth defaulted on payments on its debt backed by the Commonwealth’s Sales and Use Tax (COFINA Bonds) as well as on bonds issued by the Commonwealth’s Employee Retirement System (ERS Bonds). The funds hold significant amounts of both COFINA and ERS Bonds and the defaults on interest payments are expected to adversely affect dividends from the funds. Executive orders of the Governor that have diverted funds to pay for essential services instead of debt payments and stayed any action to enforce creditors’ rights on the Puerto Rico bonds continue to be in effect. In 2016, US federal legislation created an oversight board with power to oversee Puerto Rico’s finances and to restructure its debt. The oversight board is authorized to impose, and has imposed, a stay on exercise of creditors’ rights. In May and June 2017, the oversight board placed the GO, COFINA and ERS Bonds, among others, into a bankruptcy-like proceeding under the supervision of a Federal District Judge as authorized by the oversight board’s enabling statute. These events, further defaults, any further legislative action to create a legal means of restructuring Commonwealth obligations or to impose additional oversight on the Commonwealth’s finances, or any restructuring of the Commonwealth’s obligations may increase the number of claims against UBS concerning Puerto Rico securities, as well as potential damages sought.
Our balance sheet at 30 June 2017 reflected provisions with respect to matters described in this item 4 in amounts that UBS believes to be appropriate under the applicable accounting standard. As in the case of other matters for which we have established provisions, the future outflow of resources in respect of such matters cannot be determined with certainty based on currently available information and accordingly may ultimately prove to be substantially greater (or may be less) than the provisions that we have recognized.
5. Foreign exchange, LIBOR, and benchmark rates, and other trading practices
Foreign
exchange-related regulatory matters: Following
an initial media report in 2013 of widespread irregularities in the foreign
exchange markets, UBS immediately commenced an internal review of its foreign
exchange business, which includes our precious metals and related structured
products businesses.
Since then, various authorities have commenced investigations concerning
possible manipulation of foreign exchange markets, including FINMA, the Swiss
Competition Commission (WEKO), the DOJ, the SEC, the US Commodity Futures
Trading Commission (CFTC), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
(Federal Reserve Board), the California State Attorney General, the UK
Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) (to which certain responsibilities of the UK
Financial Services Authority (FSA) have passed), the UK Serious Fraud Office
(SFO), the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), the Hong
Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), the Korea Fair Trade Commission (KFTC) and the
Brazil Competition Authority (CADE). In addition, WEKO is, and a number of
other authorities reportedly are, investigating potential manipulation of
precious metals prices.
In 2014, UBS reached settlements with the FCA and the CFTC in connection with their foreign exchange investigations, and FINMA issued an order concluding its formal proceedings with respect to UBS relating to its foreign exchange and precious metals businesses. In 2015, the Federal Reserve Board and the Connecticut Department of Banking issued an Order to Cease and Desist and Order of Assessment of a Civil Monetary Penalty Issued upon Consent (Federal Reserve Order) to UBS AG.
In 2015, the DOJ’s Criminal Division (Criminal Division) terminated the December 2012 Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA) with UBS AG related to UBS’s submissions of benchmark interest rates. As a result, UBS AG entered into a plea agreement with the Criminal Division pursuant to which UBS AG pleaded guilty to a one-count criminal information filed in the US District Court for the District of Connecticut charging UBS AG with one count of wire fraud in violation of 18 USC Sections 1343 and 2. Sentencing occurred in January 2017. Under the plea agreement, UBS AG has paid a USD 203 million fine and is subject to a three-year term of probation starting on the sentencing date. The criminal information charges that, between approximately 2001 and 2010, UBS AG engaged in a scheme to defraud counterparties to interest rate derivatives transactions by manipulating benchmark interest rates, including Yen LIBOR. The Criminal Division terminated the NPA based on its determination, in its sole discretion, that certain UBS AG employees committed criminal conduct that violated the NPA in certain foreign exchange market transactions.
We have ongoing obligations to cooperate with these authorities and to undertake certain remediation, including actions to improve UBS’s processes and controls.
102
Note 14 Provisions and contingent liabilities (continued)
UBS has been granted conditional leniency or conditional immunity by the Antitrust Division of the DOJ (Antitrust Division) from prosecution for EUR / USD collusion and entered into a non-prosecution agreement covering other currency pairs. As a result, UBS AG will not be subject to prosecutions, fines or other sanctions for antitrust law violations by the Antitrust Division, subject to UBS AG’s continuing cooperation. However, the conditional leniency and conditional immunity grant does not bar government agencies from asserting other claims and imposing sanctions against UBS AG. UBS has also been granted conditional immunity by authorities in certain jurisdictions, including WEKO, in connection with potential competition law violations relating to foreign exchange and precious metals businesses and, as a result, will not be subject to prosecutions, fines or other sanctions for antitrust or competition law violations in those jurisdictions, subject to UBS AG’s continuing cooperation as the leniency applicant.
Investigations relating to foreign exchange and precious metals matters by numerous authorities, including the CFTC, remain ongoing notwithstanding these resolutions.
Foreign exchange-related civil litigation: Putative class actions have been filed since November 2013 in US federal courts and in other jurisdictions against UBS and other banks on behalf of putative classes of persons who engaged in foreign currency transactions with any of the defendant banks. They allege collusion by the defendants and assert claims under the antitrust laws and for unjust enrichment. In 2015, additional putative class actions were filed in federal court in New York against UBS and other banks on behalf of a putative class of persons who entered into or held any foreign exchange futures contracts and options on foreign exchange futures contracts since 1 January 2003. The complaints assert claims under the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) and the US antitrust laws. In 2015, a consolidated complaint was filed on behalf of both putative classes of persons covered by the US federal court class actions described above. UBS has entered into a settlement agreement that would resolve all of these US federal court class actions. The agreement, which has been preliminarily approved by the court and is subject to final court approval, requires, among other things, that UBS pay an aggregate of USD 141 million and provide cooperation to the settlement classes.
A putative class action has been filed in federal court in New York against UBS and other banks on behalf of participants, beneficiaries and named fiduciaries of plans qualified under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) for whom a defendant bank provided foreign currency exchange transactional services, exercised discretionary authority or discretionary control over management of such ERISA plan, or authorized or permitted the execution of any foreign currency exchange transactional services involving such plan’s assets. The complaint asserts claims under ERISA. The parties filed a stipulation to dismiss the case with prejudice. The plaintiffs have appealed the dismissal. The appeals court heard oral argument in June 2017.
In 2015, a putative class action was filed in federal court against UBS and numerous other banks on behalf of a putative class of persons and businesses in the US who directly purchased foreign currency from the defendants and their co-conspirators for their own end use. That action has been transferred to federal court in New York. In March 2017, the court granted UBS’s (and the other banks’) motions to dismiss the complaint.
In 2016, a putative class action was filed in federal court in New York against UBS and numerous other banks on behalf of a putative class of persons and entities who had indirectly purchased FX instruments from a defendant or co-conspirator in the US. The complaint asserts claims under federal and state antitrust laws. In response to defendants’ motion to dismiss, plaintiffs agreed to dismiss their complaint. In April and June 2017, two new putative class actions were filed in federal court in New York against UBS and numerous other banks on behalf of different proposed classes of indirect purchasers of currency, and a consolidated complaint was filed on 30 June 2017.
In 2015, UBS was added to putative class actions pending against other banks in federal court in New York and other jurisdictions on behalf of putative classes of persons who had bought or sold physical precious metals and various precious metal products and derivatives. The complaints in these lawsuits assert claims under the antitrust laws and the CEA, and other claims. In October 2016, the court in New York granted UBS’s motions to dismiss the putative class actions relating to gold and silver. Plaintiffs in those cases sought to amend their complaints to add new allegations about UBS, which the court granted. In March 2017, the court in New York granted UBS’s motion to dismiss the platinum and palladium action. In May 2017, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint that did not allege claims against UBS.
LIBOR and other benchmark-related regulatory matters: Numerous government agencies, including the SEC, the CFTC, the DOJ, the FCA, the SFO, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), the HKMA, FINMA, the various state attorneys general in the US and competition authorities in various jurisdictions have conducted or are continuing to conduct investigations regarding submissions with respect to LIBOR and other benchmark rates. These investigations focus on whether there were improper attempts by UBS, among others, either acting on our own or together with others, to manipulate LIBOR and other benchmark rates at certain times.
103
Notes to the UBS Group AG interim consolidated financial statements (unaudited)
Note 14 Provisions and contingent liabilities (continued)
In 2012, UBS reached settlements with the FSA, the CFTC and the Criminal Division of the DOJ in connection with their investigations of benchmark interest rates. At the same time, FINMA issued an order concluding its formal proceedings with respect to UBS relating to benchmark interest rates. UBS has paid a total of CHF 1.4 billion in fines and disgorgement in connection with these resolutions. UBS Securities Japan Co. Ltd. (UBSSJ) entered into a plea agreement with the DOJ under which it entered a plea to one count of wire fraud relating to the manipulation of certain benchmark interest rates, including Yen LIBOR. UBS entered into an NPA with the DOJ, which (along with the plea agreement) covered conduct beyond the scope of the conditional leniency / immunity grants described below. Under the NPA, UBS agreed, among other things, that for two years from 18 December 2012 it would not commit any US crime and would advise the DOJ of any potentially criminal conduct by UBS or any of its employees relating to violations of US laws concerning fraud or securities and commodities markets. The term of the NPA was extended by one year to 18 December 2015. In 2015, the Criminal Division terminated the NPA based on its determination, in its sole discretion, that certain UBS AG employees committed criminal conduct that violated the NPA.
In 2014, UBS reached a settlement with the European Commission (EC) regarding its investigation of bid-ask spreads in connection with Swiss franc interest rate derivatives and paid a EUR 12.7 million fine, which was reduced to this level based in part on UBS’s cooperation with the EC. In 2016, UBS reached a settlement with WEKO regarding its investigation of bid-ask spreads in connection with Swiss franc interest rate derivatives and received full immunity from fines. The MAS, HKMA and the Japan Financial Services Agency have also resolved investigations of UBS (and in some cases, other banks). We have ongoing obligations to cooperate with the authorities with whom we have reached resolutions and to undertake certain remediation with respect to benchmark interest rate submissions.
Investigations by the CFTC, ASIC and other governmental authorities remain ongoing notwithstanding these resolutions.
UBS has been
granted conditional leniency or conditional immunity from authorities in
certain jurisdictions, including the Antitrust Division of the DOJ and WEKO, in
connection with potential antitrust or competition law violations related to submissions for Yen LIBOR and Euroyen TIBOR. As a result of these conditional grants, UBS will not be subject to
prosecutions, fines or other sanctions for antitrust or competition law
violations in the jurisdictions where we have conditional immunity in
connection with the matters covered by the conditional grants, subject to our
continuing cooperation as leniency applicant. However, since the Secretariat of
WEKO has asserted that UBS does not qualify for full immunity, UBS has been
unable to reach a settlement with WEKO, and therefore the investigation will
continue. Furthermore, the conditional leniency and conditional
immunity grants we have received do not bar government agencies from asserting
other claims and imposing sanctions against us. In addition, as a result of the
conditional leniency agreement with the DOJ, we are eligible for a limit on
liability to actual rather than treble damages were damages to be awarded in
any civil antitrust action under US law based on conduct covered by the
agreement and for relief from potential joint and several liability in connection
with such civil antitrust action, subject to our satisfying the DOJ and the
court presiding over the civil litigation of our cooperation. The conditional
leniency and conditional immunity grants do not otherwise affect the ability of
private parties to assert civil claims against us.
LIBOR and other benchmark-related civil litigation: A number of putative class actions and other actions are pending in the federal courts in New York against UBS and numerous other banks on behalf of parties who transacted in certain interest rate benchmark-based derivatives. Also pending in the US and in other jurisdictions are actions asserting losses related to various products whose interest rates were linked to LIBOR and other benchmarks, including adjustable rate mortgages, preferred and debt securities, bonds pledged as collateral, loans, depository accounts, investments and other interest-bearing instruments. All of the complaints allege manipulation, through various means, of various benchmark interest rates, including USD LIBOR, Euroyen TIBOR, Yen LIBOR, EURIBOR, CHF LIBOR, GBP LIBOR, USD and SGD SIBOR and SOR, Australian BBSW and USD ISDAFIX, and seek unspecified compensatory and other damages under varying legal theories.
In 2013, the US district court in the USD LIBOR action dismissed the federal antitrust and racketeering claims of certain USD LIBOR plaintiffs and a portion of their claims brought under the CEA and state common law. Certain plaintiffs appealed the decision to the Second Circuit, which, in 2016, vacated the district court’s ruling finding no antitrust injury and remanded the case back to the district court for a further determination on whether plaintiffs have antitrust standing. In December 2016, the district court again dismissed plaintiffs’ antitrust claims, this time for lack of personal jurisdiction over UBS and other foreign banks. In 2014, the court in one of the Euroyen TIBOR lawsuits dismissed certain of the plaintiff’s claims, including federal antitrust claims. In 2015, the same court dismissed plaintiff’s federal racketeering claims and affirmed its previous dismissal of plaintiff’s antitrust claims. In 2017, the court also dismissed the other Yen LIBOR / Euroyen TIBOR action in its entirety on standing grounds. Also in 2017, the courts in the EURIBOR and the SIBOR and SOR lawsuits dismissed the cases as to UBS and certain other foreign defendants for lack of personal jurisdiction. UBS and other defendants in other lawsuits including those related to CHF LIBOR, GBP LIBOR and Australian BBSW have filed motions to dismiss. In 2016, UBS entered into an agreement with representatives of a class of bondholders to settle their USD LIBOR class action. The agreement has received preliminary court approval and remains subject to final approval.
104
Note 14 Provisions and contingent liabilities (continued)
Since September 2014, putative class actions have been filed in federal court in New York and New Jersey against UBS and other financial institutions, among others, on behalf of parties who entered into interest rate derivative transactions linked to ISDAFIX. The complaints, which have since been consolidated into an amended complaint, allege that the defendants conspired to manipulate ISDAFIX rates from 1 January 2006 through June 2013, in violation of US antitrust laws and certain state laws, and seek unspecified compensatory damages, including treble damages. On 12 July 2017, the court overseeing the ISDAFIX class action preliminarily approved a settlement agreement between UBS AG and the plaintiffs, whereby UBS AG agreed to pay USD 14 million to settle the case in its entirety.
Government bonds: Putative class actions have been filed in US federal courts against UBS and other banks on behalf of persons who participated in markets for US Treasury securities since 2007. The complaints generally allege that the banks colluded with respect to, and manipulated prices of, US Treasury securities sold at auction. They assert claims under the antitrust laws and the CEA and for unjust enrichment. The cases have been consolidated in the SDNY. Following filing of these complaints, UBS and reportedly other banks are responding to investigations and requests for information from various authorities regarding US Treasury securities and other government bond trading practices. As a result of its review to date, UBS has taken appropriate action.
With respect to additional matters and jurisdictions not encompassed by the settlements and order referred to above, our balance sheet at 30 June 2017 reflected a provision in an amount that UBS believes to be appropriate under the applicable accounting standard. As in the case of other matters for which we have established provisions, the future outflow of resources in respect of such matters cannot be determined with certainty based on currently available information and accordingly may ultimately prove to be substantially greater (or may be less) than the provision that we have recognized.
6. Swiss retrocessions
The Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland ruled in 2012, in a test case against UBS, that distribution fees paid to a firm for distributing third-party and intra-group investment funds and structured products must be disclosed and surrendered to clients who have entered into a discretionary mandate agreement with the firm, absent a valid waiver.
FINMA has issued a supervisory note to all Swiss banks in response to the Supreme Court decision. UBS has met the FINMA requirements and has notified all potentially affected clients.
The Supreme
Court decision has resulted, and may continue to result, in a number of client
requests for UBS to disclose and potentially surrender retrocessions. Client
requests are assessed on a
case-by-case basis. Considerations taken into account when assessing these
cases include, among others, the existence of a discretionary mandate and
whether or not the client documentation contained a valid waiver with respect
to distribution fees.
Our balance sheet at 30 June 2017 reflected a provision with respect to matters described in this item 6 in an amount that UBS believes to be appropriate under the applicable accounting standard. The ultimate exposure will depend on client requests and the resolution thereof, factors that are difficult to predict and assess. Hence, as in the case of other matters for which we have established provisions, the future outflow of resources in respect of such matters cannot be determined with certainty based on currently available information and accordingly may ultimately prove to be substantially greater (or may be less) than the provision that we have recognized.
7. Banco UBS Pactual tax indemnity
Pursuant to the 2009 sale of Banco UBS Pactual S.A. (Pactual) by UBS to BTG Investments, LP (BTG), BTG has submitted contractual indemnification claims that UBS estimates amount to BRL 2.7 billion, including interest and penalties, which is net of liabilities retained by BTG. The claims pertain principally to several tax assessments issued by the Brazilian tax authorities against Pactual relating to the period from December 2006 through March 2009, when UBS owned Pactual. These assessments are being challenged in administrative and judicial proceedings. The majority of these assessments relate to the deductibility of goodwill amortization in connection with UBS’s 2006 acquisition of Pactual and payments made to Pactual employees through various profit-sharing plans. In 2015, an intermediate administrative court issued a decision that was largely in favor of the tax authority with respect to the goodwill amortization assessment. In 2016, the highest level of the administrative court agreed to review this decision on a number of the significant issues.
8. Investigation of UBS’s role in initial public offerings in Hong Kong
The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) has been conducting investigations into UBS’s role as a sponsor of certain initial public offerings listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. In 2016, the SFC informed UBS that it intends to commence action against UBS and certain UBS employees with respect to sponsorship work in those offerings, which could result in financial ramifications for UBS, including fines and obligations to pay investor compensation, and suspension of UBS’s ability to provide corporate finance advisory services in Hong Kong for a period of time. In January 2017, a writ was filed by the SFC with Hong Kong’s High Court in which UBS is named as one of six defendants from whom the SFC is seeking compensation in an unspecified amount for losses incurred by certain shareholders of China Forestry Holdings Company Limited, for whom UBS acted as a sponsor in connection with their 2009 listing application.

Restructuring expenses
Restructuring expenses arise from
programs that materially change either the scope of business that the Group
engages in or the manner in which such business is conducted. Restructuring
expenses are necessary to effect such programs
and include items such as severance and other personnel-related expenses,
duplicate headcount costs, impairment and accelerated depreciation of assets,
contract termination costs, consulting fees, and related infrastructure and
system costs. These costs are presented in the income statement according to
the underlying nature of the expense.

Sale of subsidiaries and businesses
In the second quarter of 2017, UBS completed the sale of a life insurance subsidiary within Wealth Management. Prior to completion of the sale, the assets and liabilities of this business were presented as a disposal group held for sale within Other assets and Other liabilities (31 March 2017: CHF 5.1 billion and CHF 5.1 billion, respectively; 31 December 2016: CHF 5.1 billion and CHF 5.2 billion, respectively). The completion of the sale did not have a material effect on the results of Wealth Management in the second quarter of 2017.
The following table shows the rates of the main currencies used to translate the financial information of UBS’s foreign operations into Swiss francs.

1 Monthly income statement items of foreign operations with a functional currency other than Swiss franc are translated with month-end rates into Swiss francs. Disclosed average rates for a quarter represent an average of three month-end rates, weighted according to the income and expense volumes of all foreign operations of the Group with the same functional currency for each month. Weighted average rates for individual business divisions may deviate from the weighted average rates for the Group. |

UBS
AG interim consolidated financial
information (unaudited)
This section contains a comparison of selected financial and capital information between UBS Group AG consolidated and UBS AG consolidated. Refer to “Quarterly reporting” at www.ubs.com/investors for the interim consolidated financial statements of UBS AG, which will be published on 3 August 2017.
Comparison UBS Group AG consolidated
versus
UBS AG consolidated
The accounting policies applied under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) to both UBS Group AG and UBS AG consolidated financial statements are identical. However, there are certain scope and presentation differences as noted below:
– Assets, liabilities, operating income, operating expenses and operating profit before tax relating to UBS Group AG and its directly held subsidiaries, including UBS Business Solutions AG, are reflected in the consolidated financial statements of UBS Group AG but not of UBS AG. UBS AG’s assets, liabilities, operating income and operating expenses related to transactions with UBS Group AG and its directly held subsidiaries are not subject to elimination in the UBS AG consolidated financial statements, but are eliminated in the UBS Group AG consolidated financial statements.
– Preferred notes issued by UBS AG are presented in the consolidated UBS Group AG balance sheet as equity attributable to non-controlling interests, while in the consolidated UBS AG balance sheet, these preferred notes are required to be presented as equity attributable to preferred noteholders.
– Fully applied going concern capital of UBS AG consolidated was lower than fully applied going concern capital of UBS Group AG consolidated as of 30 June 2017, reflecting lower additional tier 1 (AT1) capital, partly offset by higher common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital. The difference in CET1 capital was primarily due to compensation-related regulatory capital accruals, liabilities and capital instruments that are reflected on the level of UBS Group AG. The difference in AT1 capital relates to the issuances of AT1 capital notes by UBS Group AG, as well as Deferred Contingent Capital Plan awards granted for the performance years 2014, 2015 and 2016.
® Refer to the “Recent developments” section of this report for information on the transfer of shared services functions from UBS AG to UBS Business Solutions AG in the second quarter of 2017

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements | This report contains statements that constitute “forward-looking statements,” including but not limited to management’s outlook for UBS’s financial performance and statements relating to the anticipated effect of transactions and strategic initiatives on UBS’s business and future development. While these forward-looking statements represent UBS’s judgments and expectations 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. These factors include, but are not limited to: (i) the degree to which UBS is successful in the ongoing execution of its strategic plans, including its cost reduction and efficiency initiatives and its ability to manage its levels of risk-weighted assets (RWA), including to counteract regulatory-driven increases, and leverage ratio denominator, liquidity coverage ratio and other financial resources, and the degree to which UBS is successful in implementing changes to its wealth management businesses to meet changing market, regulatory and other conditions; (ii) continuing low or negative interest rate environment, 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, and currency exchange rates, and the effects of economic conditions, market developments, and geopolitical tensions on the financial position or creditworthiness of UBS’s clients and counterparties as well as on client sentiment and levels of activity; (iii) changes in the availability of capital and funding, including any changes in UBS’s credit spreads and ratings, as well as availability and cost of funding to meet requirements for debt eligible for total loss-absorbing capacity (TLAC); (iv) changes in or the implementation of financial legislation and regulation in Switzerland, the US, the UK and other financial centers that may impose, or result in, more stringent capital, TLAC, leverage ratio, liquidity and funding 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 would have on UBS’s business activities; (v) uncertainty as to the extent to which the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) will confirm limited reductions of gone concern requirements due to measures to reduce resolvability risk; (vi) the degree to which UBS is successful in implementing further changes to its legal structure to improve its resolvability and meet related regulatory requirements, including changes in legal structure and reporting required to implement US enhanced prudential standards, completing the implementation of a service company model, and the potential need to make further changes to the legal structure or booking model of UBS Group in response to legal and regulatory requirements, to proposals in Switzerland and other jurisdictions for mandatory structural reform of banks or systemically important institutions or to other external developments, and the extent to which such changes will have the intended effects; (vii) the uncertainty arising from the timing and nature of the UK exit from the EU and the potential need to make changes in UBS’s legal structure and operations as a result of it; (viii) changes in UBS’s competitive position, including whether differences in regulatory capital and other requirements among the major financial centers will adversely affect UBS’s ability to compete in certain lines of business; (ix) changes in the standards of conduct applicable to our businesses that may result from new regulation or new enforcement of existing standards, including recently enacted and proposed measures to impose new and enhanced duties when interacting with customers and in the execution and handling of customer transactions; (x) 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 or 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 our RWA; (xi) the effects on UBS’s cross-border banking business of tax or regulatory developments and of possible changes in UBS’s policies and practices relating to this business; (xii) 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 including differences in compensation practices; (xiii) 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; (xiv) UBS’s ability to implement new technologies and business methods, including digital services and 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; (xv) limitations on the effectiveness of UBS’s internal processes for risk management, risk control, measurement and modeling, and of financial models generally; (xvi) the occurrence of operational failures, such as fraud, misconduct, unauthorized trading, financial crime, cyberattacks, and systems failures; (xvii) restrictions on the ability of UBS Group 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; (xviii) the degree to which changes in regulation, capital or legal structure, financial results or other factors, including methodology, assumptions and stress scenarios, may affect UBS’s ability to maintain its stated capital return objective; and (xix) the effect that these or other factors or unanticipated events may have on our reputation and the additional consequences that this may have on our 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. Our business and financial performance could be affected by other factors identified in our past and future filings and reports, including those filed with 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 UBS’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended 31 December 2016. UBS is not under any obligation to (and expressly disclaims any obligation to) update or alter its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
