Note 3a
 
Segment reporting
UBS’s businesses are
 
organized globally into
 
five business divisions:
 
Global Wealth
 
Management, Personal
 
& Corporate
Banking, Asset
 
Management, the
 
Investment Bank,
 
and Non-core
 
and Legacy.
 
All five
 
business divisions are
 
supported
by Group
 
Items and qualify
 
as reportable
 
segments for
 
the purpose
 
of segment reporting.
 
Together
 
with Group
 
Items,
the five business divisions reflect the management structure
 
of the Group.
Global Wealth
 
Management
 
provides financial
 
services, advice
 
and solutions
 
to private
 
wealth clients.
 
Its offering
ranges from investment
 
management to estate
 
planning and corporate
 
finance advice, in
 
addition to specific
 
wealth
management and banking products and services.
 
Personal
 
&
 
Corporate
 
Banking
 
serves
 
its
 
private,
 
corporate,
 
and
 
institutional
 
clients’
 
needs,
 
from
 
banking
 
to
retirement, financing,
 
investments and
 
strategic transactions,
 
in Switzerland,
 
through its
 
branch network
 
and digital
channels.
Asset Management
 
is a global, large-scale
 
and diversified asset manager.
 
It offers investment capabilities
 
and styles
across
 
all
 
major
 
traditional
 
and
 
alternative
 
asset
 
classes,
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
advisory
 
support
 
to
 
institutions,
 
wholesale
intermediaries and wealth management clients.
 
The
Investment Bank
 
provides a range of
 
services to institutional,
 
corporate and wealth management
 
clients globally,
to
 
help
 
them
 
raise
 
capital,
 
grow
 
their
 
businesses,
 
invest
 
and
 
manage
 
risks.
 
Its
 
offering
 
includes
 
research,
 
advisory
services, facilitating clients raising debt
 
and equity from the public
 
and private markets and capital
 
markets, cash and
derivatives trading across equities and fixed income, and
 
financing.
 
Non-core and
 
Legacy
 
includes positions
 
and businesses
 
not aligned
 
with the
 
Group’s strategy
 
and policies.
 
Those
consist of the assets and
 
liabilities that prior to the acquisition
 
were reported as part of the
 
Capital Release Unit (Credit
Suisse) and
 
certain assets
 
and liabilities
 
of the
 
Investment Bank
 
(Credit Suisse),
 
Wealth Management
 
(Credit Suisse),
Swiss Bank (Credit Suisse) and Asset Management (Credit
 
Suisse) divisions, as well as of the Corporate
 
Center (Credit
Suisse).
 
Also
 
included
 
are
 
the
 
remaining
 
assets
 
and
 
liabilities
 
of
 
UBS’s
 
Non-core
 
and
 
Legacy
 
Portfolio,
 
previously
reported in
 
Group Functions
 
(now renamed
 
to Group
 
Items), and
 
smaller amounts
 
of assets
 
and liabilities
 
of UBS’s
business divisions that have been assessed as not strategic
 
in light of the acquisition of the Credit Suisse Group.
Our Group functions are
 
support and control functions
 
that provide services to
 
the Group. Virtually
 
all costs incurred
by the support and control functions are allocated to
 
the business divisions, leaving a residual amount that we refer to
as
Group Items
 
in our segment reporting.
 
Group functions is made
 
up of the following
 
major areas: Group Services
(which
 
consists
 
of
 
the
 
Group
 
Operations
 
and
 
Technology
 
Office,
 
Corporate
 
Services,
 
Compliance,
 
Regulatory
 
&
Governance,
 
Finance,
 
Risk
 
Control,
 
Human
 
Resources,
 
Communications
 
&
 
Branding,
 
Legal,
 
the
 
Group
 
Integration
Office, Group Sustainability and Impact,
 
and Chief Strategy Office) and Group Treasury.
Financial information about
 
the five business divisions
 
and Group Items
 
is presented separately
 
in internal management
reports to the
 
Group Executive
 
Board (the GEB),
 
which is considered
 
the “chief
 
operating decision-maker”
 
pursuant to
IFRS 8,
Operating Segments
.
UBS’s
 
internal
 
accounting
 
policies,
 
which
 
include
 
management
 
accounting
 
policies
 
and
 
service
 
level
 
agreements,
determine
 
the
 
revenues
 
and
 
expenses
 
directly
 
attributable
 
to
 
each
 
reportable
 
segment.
 
Transactions
 
between
 
the
reportable segments are carried out at internally agreed rates and are
 
reflected in the operating results of the reportable
segments.
 
Revenue-sharing
 
agreements
 
are
 
used
 
to
 
allocate
 
external
 
client
 
revenues
 
to
 
reportable
 
segments
 
where
several
 
reportable
 
segments
 
are
 
involved
 
in
 
the
 
value
 
creation
 
chain.
 
Total
 
intersegment
 
revenues
 
for
 
the
 
Group
 
are
immaterial, as the majority of the
 
revenues are allocated across the segments by
 
means of revenue-sharing agreements.
Interest
 
income
 
earned
 
from
 
managing
 
UBS’s
 
consolidated
 
equity
 
is
 
allocated
 
to
 
the
 
reportable
 
segments
 
based
 
on
average attributed equity and currency composition. Assets and
 
liabilities of the reportable segments are funded
 
through
and invested with Group functions, and the net interest
 
margin is reflected in the results of each reportable segment.
Segment
 
assets
 
are
 
based
 
on
 
a
 
third-party
 
view
 
and
 
do
 
not
 
include
 
intercompany
 
balances.
 
This
 
view
 
is
 
in
 
line
 
with
internal
 
reporting
 
to
 
the
 
GEB.
 
If
 
one
 
operating
 
segment
 
is
 
involved
 
in
 
an
 
external
 
transaction
 
together
 
with
 
another
operating segment
 
or Group
 
function, additional
 
criteria are
 
considered to
 
determine the
 
segment that
 
will report
 
the
associated
 
assets.
 
This
 
will
 
include
 
a
 
consideration
 
of
 
which
 
segment’s
 
business
 
needs
 
are
 
being
 
addressed
 
by
 
the
transaction
 
and
 
which
 
segment
 
is
 
providing
 
the
 
funding
 
and
 
/
 
or
 
resources.
 
Allocation
 
of
 
liabilities
 
follows
 
the
 
same
principles.
Non-current assets
 
disclosed
 
for segment
 
reporting purposes
 
represent assets
 
that are
 
expected to
 
be recovered
 
more
than
 
12
 
months
 
after
 
the
 
reporting
 
date,
 
excluding
 
financial
 
instruments,
 
deferred
 
tax
 
assets
 
and
 
post-employment
benefits.

1 As of or for the year ended 31 December 2023, Non-core and Legacy (previously reported within Group Functions) became a separate reportable segment and Group Functions has been renamed Group Items. Prior
periods have been revised to reflect these changes.
 
2 Negative goodwill arising from the acquisition of the Credit Suisse Group is not allocated to the business divisions, as it relates to the Group. For further details,
refer to Note 2.
 
3 Non-current assets acquired
 
with the Credit Suisse Group are
 
included in additions to non-current
 
assets. Refer to Note
 
2 for more information about
 
the acquisition of the Credit Suisse
 
Group.
 
4 Includes an USD
848
m gain in Asset
 
Management related to the
 
sale of UBS‘s shareholding
 
in Mitsubishi Corp.-UBS
 
Realty Inc.
 
5 During 2022, UBS
 
refined the methodology applied
 
to allocate balance sheet
resources from Group Items to the business divisions, with prospective effect. If the new methodology had been applied as of 31 December 2021, balance sheet assets allocated to business divisions would have been
USD
26
bn higher, of which USD
14
bn would have related to the Investment Bank.
Note 3b
 
Segment reporting by geographic location
The operating
 
regions shown
 
in the
 
table below
 
correspond to
 
the regional
 
management structure
 
of the
 
Group. The
geographic analysis of non-current assets is based on the
 
location of the entity in which the given assets are recorded.
The
 
allocation
 
of
 
total
 
revenues
 
by
 
geographical
 
region
 
for
 
the
 
Credit
 
Suisse
 
sub-group
 
is
 
not
 
available
 
on
 
the
 
same
allocation basis as
 
for the UBS
 
Group for 2023
 
and the
 
cost to develop
 
this information would
 
be excessive, therefore,
as
 
permitted
 
under
 
IFRS
 
8,
 
the
 
respective
 
information
 
is
 
not
 
disclosed.
 
UBS
 
AG
 
and
 
Credit
 
Suisse
 
AG
 
disclose
 
total
revenues by geographical region in their annual reports
 
according to their respective allocation methodologies.
