Alternative performance measures

An alternative performance measure (an APM) is a financial measure of historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows other than a financial measure defined or specified in the applicable recognized accounting standards or in other applicable regulations. We report a number of APMs in our external reports (annual, quarterly and other reports). We use APMs to provide a more complete picture of our operating performance and to reflect management’s view of the fundamental drivers of our business results. A definition of each APM, the method used to calculate it and the information content are presented under “Alternative performance measures” in the appendix to this report. Our APMs may qualify as non-GAAP measures as defined by US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations.

Introduction

Overview

UBS Group AG is the holding company for the UBS Group and the parent company of UBS AG. UBS Group AG holds 100% of the issued shares in UBS AG. Financial information for UBS AG consolidated does not differ materially from that for UBS Group AG consolidated.

This report includes risk and capital management information for UBS AG consolidated and the interim consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended 31 March 2022. Regulatory information for UBS AG standalone is provided in the 31 March 2022 Pillar 3 report, available under “Pillar 3 disclosures” at ubs.com/investors

    Refer to the UBS Group first quarter 2022 report, available under “Quarterly reporting” at ubs.com/investors for more information

Comparison between UBS Group AG consolidated and UBS AG consolidated

The table on the following page contains a comparison of selected financial and capital information between UBS Group AG consolidated and UBS AG consolidated.

The accounting policies applied under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) to both the UBS Group AG and the 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 tax expenses / (benefits) 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, including UBS Business Solutions AG and other shared services subsidiaries, are not subject to elimination in the UBS AG consolidated financial statements, but are eliminated in the UBS Group AG consolidated financial statements.

     Differences in net profit between UBS Group AG consolidated and UBS AG consolidated mainly arise as UBS Business Solutions AG and other shared services subsidiaries of UBS Group AG charge other legal entities within the UBS AG consolidation scope for services provided, including a markup on costs incurred. In addition, and to a lesser extent, differences arise as a result of certain compensation-related matters, including pensions.

     The equity of UBS Group AG consolidated was USD 0.9 billion higher than the equity of UBS AG consolidated as of 31 March 2022. This difference was mainly driven by higher dividends paid by UBS AG to UBS Group AG compared with the dividend distributions of UBS Group AG, as well as higher retained earnings in the UBS Group AG consolidated financial statements, largely related to the aforementioned markup charged by shared services subsidiaries of UBS Group AG to other legal entities in the UBS AG scope of consolidation. In addition, UBS Group AG is the grantor of the majority of the compensation plans of the Group and recognizes share premium for equity-settled awards granted. These effects were partly offset by treasury shares acquired as part of our share repurchase programs and those held to hedge share delivery obligations associated with Group compensation plans, as well as additional share premium recognized at the UBS AG consolidated level related to the establishment of UBS Group AG and UBS Business Solutions AG, a wholly owned subsidiary of UBS Group AG.

     The going concern capital of UBS Group AG consolidated was USD 4.1 billion higher than the going concern capital of UBS AG consolidated as of 31 March 2022, reflecting higher common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital of USD 3.0 billion and going concern loss-absorbing additional tier 1 (AT1) capital of USD 1.1 billion.

     The CET1 capital of UBS Group AG consolidated was USD 3.0 billion higher than that of UBS AG consolidated as of 31 March 2022. The higher CET1 capital of UBS Group AG consolidated was primarily due to lower UBS Group AG accruals for dividends to shareholders and higher UBS Group AG consolidated IFRS equity of USD 0.9 billion. The aforementioned factors were partly offset by compensation-related regulatory capital accruals at the UBS Group AG level.

     The going concern loss-absorbing AT1 capital of UBS Group AG consolidated was USD 1.1 billion higher than that of UBS AG consolidated as of 31 March 2022, mainly reflecting deferred contingent capital plan awards granted at the Group level to eligible employees for the performance years 2017 to 2021, partly offset by four loss-absorbing AT1 capital instruments on-lent by UBS Group AG to UBS AG.

 

In April 2022, UBS AG distributed a dividend of USD 4.2 billion to UBS Group AG and UBS Group AG paid the 2021 dividend of USD 1.7 billion to its shareholders. These dividends reduced the equity of UBS AG and UBS Group AG in April 2022 by USD 4.2 billion and USD 1.7 billion, respectively, and had no impact on their CET1 capital.

    Refer to “Holding company and significant regulated subsidiaries and sub-groups” under “Complementary financial information” at ubs.com/investors  for an illustration of the consolidation scope differences between UBS AG and UBS Group AG

    Refer to the “Capital management” section of this report for more information about differences in the loss-absorbing capacity between UBS Group AG consolidated and UBS AG consolidated

Capital management

Going and gone concern requirements and information

UBS is considered a systemically relevant bank (an SRB) under Swiss banking law and, on a consolidated basis, both UBS Group AG and UBS AG are required to comply with regulations based on the Basel III framework as applicable for Swiss SRBs.

The Swiss SRB framework and requirements applicable to UBS AG consolidated are consistent with those applicable to UBS Group AG consolidated and are described in the “Capital, liquidity and funding, and balance sheet” section of our Annual Report 2021.

The applicable gone concern requirement floor as of 31 March 2022 was 10% for risk-weighted assets (RWA) and 3.75% for leverage ratio denominator (LRD) purposes. This floor was increased by 1.4% for RWA and 0.75% for LRD in the first quarter of 2022.


UBS AG is subject to going and gone concern requirements on a standalone basis. Capital and other regulatory information for UBS AG standalone is provided under “Holding company and significant regulated subsidiaries and sub-groups” at ubs.com/investors and in the 31 March 2022 Pillar 3 report, available under “Pillar 3 disclosures” at ubs.com/investors. 

The table on the next page provides the RWA- and LRD-based requirements and information as of 31 March 2022 for UBS AG consolidated.

1 Includes applicable add-ons of 1.44% for RWA and 0.50% for LRD.    2 Our minimum CET1 leverage ratio requirement of 3.5% consists of a 1.5% base requirement, a 1.5% base buffer capital requirement, a 0.25% LRD add-on requirement and a 0.25% market share add-on requirement based on our Swiss credit business.    3 Existing outstanding low-trigger AT1 capital instruments qualify as going concern capital at the UBS AG consolidated level, as agreed with FINMA, until their first call date. As of their first call date, these instruments are eligible to meet the gone concern requirements.    4 A maximum of 25% of the gone concern requirements can be met with instruments that have a remaining maturity of between one and two years. Once at least 75% of the minimum gone concern requirement has been met with instruments that have a remaining maturity of greater than two years, all instruments that have a remaining maturity of between one and two years remain eligible to be included in the total gone concern capital.    5 The gone concern requirement after the application of the rebate for resolvability measures and the reduction for the use of higher quality capital instruments is floored at 10% and 3.75% for the RWA- and LRD-based requirements, respectively. This means that the combined reduction may not exceed 4.3 percentage points for the RWA-based requirement of 14.3% and 1.25 percentage points for the LRD-based requirement of 5.0%.

UBS Group AG vs UBS AG consolidated loss-absorbing capacity and leverage ratio information

The going concern capital of UBS AG consolidated was USD 4.1 billion lower than the going concern capital of UBS Group AG consolidated as of 31 March 2022, reflecting lower common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital of USD 3.0 billion and lower going concern loss-absorbing additional tier 1 (AT1) capital of USD 1.1 billion.

The aforementioned difference in CET1 capital was primarily due to higher UBS Group AG consolidated IFRS equity of USD 0.9 billion and lower UBS Group AG dividend accruals, partly offset by compensation-related regulatory capital accruals at the UBS Group AG level.

The going concern loss-absorbing AT1 capital of UBS AG consolidated was USD 1.1  billion lower  than that of UBS Group AG consolidated as of 31 March 2022, mainly reflecting deferred contingent capital plan awards granted at the Group level to eligible employees for the performance years 2017 to 2021, partly offset by four loss-absorbing AT1 capital instruments on-lent by UBS Group AG to UBS AG.


Differences in capital between UBS Group AG consolidated and UBS AG consolidated related to employee compensation plans will reverse to the extent underlying services are performed by employees of, and are consequently charged to, UBS AG and its subsidiaries. Such reversal generally occurs over the service period of the employee compensation plans.

The leverage ratio framework for UBS AG consolidated is consistent with that of UBS Group AG consolidated. As of 31 March 2022, the going concern leverage ratio of UBS AG consolidated was 0.4 percentage points lower than that of UBS Group AG consolidated, mainly because the going concern capital of UBS AG consolidated was USD 4.1 billion lower

    Refer to the “Capital management” section of the UBS Group first quarter 2022 report, available under “Quarterly reporting” at ubs.com/investors,  for information about the developments of loss-absorbing capacity, RWA and LRD for UBS Group AG consolidated

    Refer to the “Introduction” section of this report for more information about the differences in equity between UBS AG consolidated and UBS Group AG consolidated

Notes to the UBS AG interim consolidated financial statements (unaudited) 

Notes to the UBS AG interim
consolidated financial statements (unaudited)

Note 1   Basis of accounting

Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements (the financial statements) of UBS AG and its subsidiaries (together, UBS AG) are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (the IASB), and are presented in US dollars (USD). 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 AG consolidated annual financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2021. These interim financial statements are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with UBS AG’s audited consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report 2021. In the opinion of management, all necessary adjustments have been made for a fair presentation of UBS AG’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 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 about areas of estimation uncertainty that are considered to require critical judgment, refer to “Note 1a Material accounting policies” in the “Consolidated financial statements” section of the Annual Report 2021.

Note   Segment reporting

UBS AG’s businesses are organized globally into four business divisions: Global Wealth Management, Personal & Corporate Banking, Asset Management and the Investment Bank. All four business divisions are supported by Group Functions and qualify as reportable segments for the purpose of segment reporting. Together with Group Functions they reflect the management structure of UBS AG.

    Refer to “Note 2 Segment reporting” in the “Consolidated financial statements” section of the Annual Report 2021 for more information about UBS AG’s reporting segments
