Notes to the UBS Group AG standalone financial
 
statements
Note 1
 
Corporate information
UBS Group AG is
 
incorporated and domiciled
 
in Switzerland,
 
and its registered
 
office is at Bahnhofstrasse
 
45, CH-8001
Zurich,
 
Switzerland.
 
UBS
 
Group
 
AG
 
operates
 
under
 
Art.
 
620
 
et
 
seq.
 
of
 
the
 
Swiss
 
Code
 
of
 
Obligations
 
as
 
an
Aktiengesellschaft
 
(a corporation limited by shares).
The UBS Group
 
AG standalone financial
 
statements are
 
prepared in accordance
 
with the principles
 
of the Swiss
 
law on
accounting and financial reporting (32nd title of the Swiss
 
Code of Obligations).
The significant accounting and valuation principles applied
 
are described in Note 2.
UBS Group AG is
 
the ultimate holding
 
company of the
 
UBS Group, the
 
grantor of certain
 
deferred compensation plans
of UBS Group and the issuer
 
of loss-absorbing capital notes,
 
which qualify as Basel III additional
 
tier 1 (AT1) capital on a
consolidated UBS Group basis, and senior unsecured debt
 
,
 
which contributes to the total loss-absorbing capacity (TLAC)
of the Group.
The proceeds from
 
the issuances of
 
loss-absorbing AT1 capital notes
 
and TLAC-eligible senior
 
unsecured debt instruments
are on
 
lent to
 
UBS AG
 
or were
 
on lent
 
to either
 
UBS AG
 
or Credit
 
Suisse AG
 
until the
 
two entities
 
merged on
 
31 May 2024.
Refer to Notes 15 and 17 for more information about
 
the main terms and conditions of the
 
loss-absorbing AT1 capital notes and
TLAC-eligible senior unsecured debt instruments issued
In addition,
 
UBS
 
Group
 
AG
 
grants
 
Deferred
 
Contingent
 
Capital
 
Plan
 
(DCCP) awards
 
to
 
UBS Group
 
employees.
 
These
DCCP awards also qualify as Basel III AT1 capital of the Group.
As of 31 December 2024, UBS
 
Group AG
s distributable items
 
for the purpose
 
of AT1 capital
 
instruments were USD 64bn
(CHF 58.1bn)
 
(31 December 2023:
 
USD 65.1bn (CHF
 
54.7bn)). For
 
this
 
purpose, distributable
 
items are
 
defined
 
in the
terms
 
and
 
conditions
 
of
 
the
 
relevant
 
instruments
 
as
 
the
 
aggregate
 
of
 
(i)
 
net
 
profits
 
carried
 
forward
 
and
 
(ii) freely
distributable reserves, in each case less any amounts that
 
must be contributed to legal reserves under applicable law.
Note 2
 
Accounting policies
Foreign currency translation
Transactions denominated
 
in foreign currency are translated into US dollars at the spot exchange rate on the date of the
transaction. At the balance sheet date, all current assets and short-term liabilities, as well as
Financial assets
 
measured at
fair value that are denominated in
 
a foreign currency,
 
are translated into US dollars
 
using the closing exchange rate. For
Other non-current
 
assets
 
and long-term
 
liabilities, where
 
the asset
 
mirrors the
 
terms of
 
a corresponding
 
liability or
 
the
asset and
 
liability otherwise form
 
an economic hedge
 
relationship, the asset
 
and liability are
 
treated as one
 
unit of account
for foreign currency
 
translation purposes, with offsetting
 
unrealized foreign currency
 
translation gains and losses
 
based
on the
 
closing exchange
 
rate presented
 
net in
 
the income
 
statement.
Investments in
 
subsidiaries
 
measured
 
at historic
cost are translated
 
at the spot exchange
 
rate on the date
 
of a contribution.
 
Currency translation
 
effects from
 
dividends
paid
 
in
 
Swiss
 
francs
 
are
 
recognized
 
in
 
equity.
 
All
 
other
 
currency
 
translation
 
effects
 
are
 
recognized
 
in
 
the
 
income
statement.
The
 
main
 
currency
 
translation
 
rates
 
used
 
by
 
UBS
 
Group
 
AG
 
are
 
provided
 
in
 
Note
 
32
 
in
 
the
 
“Consolidated
 
financial
statements” section of the UBS Group Annual Report 2024, available
 
under “Annual reporting” at
ubs.com/investors
.
Presentation currencies
The primary presentation currency
 
of the standalone financial statements of
 
UBS Group AG is the US dollar,
 
in line with
its
 
functional
 
currency.
 
Amounts
 
in
 
Swiss
 
francs
 
are
 
also
 
presented
 
for
 
each
 
component
 
of
 
the
 
financial
 
statements.
UBS Group AG applies the
 
modified closing rate method
 
for converting US dollar amounts
 
into Swiss francs: assets
 
and
liabilities
 
are
 
translated
 
at
 
the
 
closing
 
rate,
 
equity
 
positions
 
at
 
historic
 
rates,
 
and
 
income
 
and
 
expense
 
items
 
at
 
the
weighted average
 
rate
 
for the
 
period.
 
All resulting
 
currency
 
translation
 
effects
 
are
 
recognized
 
separately
 
in
Voluntary
earnings
 
reserve
,
 
amounting
 
to
 
a
 
cumulative
 
negative
 
currency
 
translation
 
effect
 
of
 
CHF 2,137m
 
as
 
of
 
31 December
2024 (31 December 2023: negative CHF 6,397m).

Accounting policies (continued)
Marketable securities
Marketable securities
 
includes investments in alternative investment vehicles (AIVs)
 
with a short-term holding period. The
holding period is
 
deemed short term if
 
the vesting of
 
the awards hedged by
 
the AIV is
 
within 12 months
 
after the balance
sheet
 
date.
 
These
 
are
 
equity
 
instruments
 
and
 
are
 
measured
 
at
 
fair
 
value
 
based
 
on
 
quoted
 
market
 
prices
 
or
 
other
observable market prices as of the balance sheet date. Gains and losses resulting from fair value changes are recognized
in
Financial income
 
and
Financial expenses,
 
respectively.
Financial assets
Financial assets
 
includes investments in AIVs with a long-term holding period. The holding period is deemed long term if
the vesting
 
of the
 
awards
 
hedged by
 
the AIV
 
is more
 
than
 
12 months
 
after
 
the balance
 
sheet date.
 
These are
 
equity
instruments and are measured
 
at fair value based on their
 
quoted market prices or other
 
observable market prices as of
the balance
 
sheet date.
 
Gains and
 
losses resulting from
 
fair value
 
changes are recognized
 
in
Financial income
 
and
Financial
expenses,
 
respectively.
Financial assets
 
also includes loans to and fixed-term deposits with UBS AG, as well as debt securities of UBS AG (initially
issued
 
by
 
Credit
 
Suisse
 
AG),
 
all
 
with
 
a
 
remaining
 
maturity
 
of
 
more
 
than
 
12
 
months.
 
The
 
loans
 
granted
 
to
 
UBS AG
substantially mirror the terms
 
of the perpetual AT1
 
capital notes and the
 
TLAC-eligible senior unsecured debt instruments
issued.
 
The
 
debt
 
securities
 
represent
 
downstream
 
funding
 
that
 
substantially
 
mirrors
 
the
 
terms
 
of
 
TLAC-eligible
 
senior
unsecured debt instruments issued. These instruments are
 
measured at cost value.
Refer to Note 14 for more information
Derivative instruments
UBS Group
 
AG uses
 
derivative instruments
 
to manage
 
exposures to
 
foreign currency
 
risks from
 
investments in
 
foreign
subsidiaries and
 
exposures to
 
interest rate
 
risk from
 
certain fixed-rate
 
debt instruments.
 
The derivative
 
instruments are
entered into with UBS AG, mirroring the
 
conditions of the transactions that they enter
 
into with third parties.
Derivative instruments are measured at fair value based on quoted market prices or other observable market prices as of
the balance sheet date. Unrealized gains and losses are recognized on the balance sheet as
Accrued income and prepaid
expenses
 
and
Accrued expenses
 
and deferred
 
income
, respectively.
 
Corresponding
 
gains and
 
losses resulting
 
from fair
value changes are recognized in
Financial income
 
and
Financial expenses,
 
respectively.
Hedge accounting
UBS Group AG
 
applies the following
 
hedge accounting policies
 
where requirements on
 
risk management, documentation
and effectiveness are met.
Fair value hedges of interest rate risk related to
 
debt instruments
UBS
 
Group
 
AG
 
designates
 
certain
 
fixed-rate
 
issued
 
debt
 
instruments
 
and
 
fixed-to-floating
 
interest
 
rate
 
derivatives
 
as
hedged
 
items
 
and
 
hedging
 
instruments,
 
respectively,
 
in
 
fair
 
value
 
hedge
 
accounting
 
relationships.
 
The
 
hedged
 
risk
 
is
determined
 
as
 
the
 
change
 
in
 
the
 
fair
 
value
 
of
 
the
 
issued
 
debt
 
instruments
 
attributable
 
to
 
changes
 
in
 
the
 
designated
benchmark interest rates. The effective portion of
 
gains and losses of the hedging instruments is
 
deferred on the balance
sheet as
Accrued income
and prepaid expenses
 
or
Accrued expenses and deferred income
.
Hedge accounting for Investments in subsidiaries
UBS Group
 
AG applies
 
hedge accounting
 
for certain
 
investments in
 
subsidiaries denominated
 
in currencies
 
other than
the
 
US
 
dollar,
 
which
 
are
 
designated
 
as
 
hedged
 
items.
 
For
 
this
 
purpose,
 
foreign
 
exchange
 
(FX)
 
derivatives,
 
mainly
 
FX
forwards and FX swaps,
 
are used and designated
 
as hedging instruments. The
 
hedged risk is determined
 
as the change
in the fair value
 
of the hedged item
 
arising solely from changes in
 
spot FX rates. Consequently, UBS
 
Group AG designates
the spot
 
element
 
of the
 
FX
 
derivatives as
 
hedging
 
instruments.
 
Changes
 
in the
 
fair value
 
of the
 
hedging
 
instruments
attributable to changes in forward points are not part of a hedge accounting designation and are recognized in
Financial
income
 
or
Financial expenses
 
in the income statement. The effective portion of gains and losses of these FX derivatives is
deferred on
 
the balance
 
sheet as
Accrued income
 
and prepaid
 
expenses
 
or
Accrued expenses
 
and deferred
 
income
 
to
the extent
 
no change
 
is recognized
 
in the
 
carrying amount
 
of the
 
hedged item
 
arising from
 
changes in
 
spot FX
 
rates.
Otherwise, the effective portion of
 
gains and losses of these
 
FX derivatives is matched with the
 
corresponding valuation
adjustments of the hedged item recorded in the income statement and recognized either as a reduction of strategic purposes.

Note 2
 
Accounting policies (continued)
Investments in subsidiaries
Investments
 
in
 
subsidiaries
 
are
 
equity
 
interests
 
that
 
are
 
held
 
to
 
carry
 
on
 
the
 
business
 
of
 
the
 
UBS
 
Group
 
or
 
for
 
other
They include all subsidiaries directly held by UBS Group AG through which UBS conducts its business
on
 
a
 
global
 
basis.
 
The
 
investments
 
are
 
carried
 
at
 
cost
 
less
 
impairment
 
and
 
generally
 
measured
 
individually.
 
As
 
of
31 December
 
2023,
 
the
 
investments
 
in
 
UBS
 
AG
 
and
 
Credit
 
Suisse
 
AG
 
were
 
combined
 
as
 
a
 
valuation
 
unit
 
as
 
these
investments were
 
economically closely interlinked
 
and given the
 
then-contemplated merger
 
which became effective
 
on
31 May 2024.
The carrying
 
amount of
 
an investment
 
is tested
 
for impairment
 
when indicators
 
of a
 
potential decrease
 
in value
 
exist,
which include
 
significant operating
 
losses incurred
 
or a
 
severe depreciation
 
of the
 
currency in
 
which the
 
investment is
denominated. If an investment in a subsidiary is impaired, its value is generally written down to the recoverable amount.
Subsequent recoveries
 
in value can
 
be recognized up
 
to the original
 
cost value
 
if forecasts
 
of future cash
 
flows provide
sufficient
 
evidence
 
that
 
an increased
 
recoverable
 
amount
 
is supported.
 
Management
 
may
 
exercise
 
its
 
discretion
 
as to
what extent,
 
and in which period,
 
a recovery in value is recognized.
Refer to Note 3 and Note 13 for more information
Refer to “Note 3a Segment reporting” in the “Consolidated
 
financial statements” section of the UBS Group Annual
 
Report 2024,
available under “Annual reporting” at
ubs.com/investors
, for a description of businesses of the UBS Group
Long-term interest-bearing liabilities
Long-term interest-bearing liabilities include perpetual
 
loss-absorbing capital notes that
 
qualify as Basel
 
III AT1 capital and
TLAC-eligible senior unsecured
 
debt instruments at Group
 
level. They are presented
 
at nominal value. Any difference
 
to
nominal value,
 
e.g. premium,
 
discount or
 
external costs that
 
are directly
 
related to
 
the issue,
 
is deferred

Treasury shares
Treasury

by UBS
 
Group
 
AG are
 
recognized
 
at acquisition
 
cost and
 
are
 
presented
 
as a
 
deduction from
shareholders’ equity.
 
Upon disposal of
 
treasury shares
 
or settlement
 
of related share-based
 
awards, any
 
realized gain or
 
loss is recognized
 
in
Voluntary earnings
 
reserve
. Realized
 
gains
 
and losses
 
from
 
settlement
 
of share-based
 
awards represent
 
the difference
between the acquisition
 
cost of the
 
UBS Group AG
 
shares and the
 
grant date fair
 
value of the share-based
 
awards. For
the year
 
ended 31 December
 
2024, a
 
net loss
 
of USD
 
322m (CHF 291m)
 
from settlement
 
of share-based
 
awards was
recognized in
Voluntary earnings reserve
 
(2023 comparative period: net loss of USD 207m (CHF
 
191m)).
For UBS Group AG
 
shares acquired by a
 
direct or indirect subsidiary,
 
a

Awards
 
granted
 
by
 
UBS Group
 
AG in
 
the
 
form
 
of
 
UBS Group
 
AG
shares and notional shares are
 
settled by delivering UBS Group AG shares
 
at vesting, except in jurisdictions where
 
this is
not permitted for
 
legal or tax
 
reasons. They are recognized as
Compensation-related long-term liabilities
if vesting is
 
more
than 12 months after the balance
 
sheet date, or as
Accrued expenses and deferred income
 
if vesting is within 12 months
of the balance
 
sheet date. The
 
amount recognized is
 
adjusted for forfeiture assumptions,
 
such that the
 
amount ultimately
recognized is based on the
 
number of awards that meet the
 
related service conditions at the vesting
 
date. The grant date
fair value is based on the UBS
 
Group AG share price on the date of grant,
 
taking into consideration post-vesting sale and
hedge restrictions, dividend rights, non-vesting conditions,
 
and market conditions, where applicable.
Upon settlement
 
of the
 
share-based awards,
 
any realized
 
gain or
 
loss on the
 
treasury shares
 
is recognized
 
in
Voluntary
earnings reserve
. Realized gains and losses from settlement of share-based awards represent the difference between the
acquisition cost of the UBS Group AG shares and the grant
 
date fair value of the share-based awards.

recognized as a liability
 
generally over the
 
vesting period, as
Compensation-related long-term liabilities
 
if vesting
is more than 12 months
 
after the balance sheet
 
date, and as
Accrued expenses and deferred

Acquisition of Credit Suisse Group AG
Acquisition of Credit Suisse Group AG
On
 
12 June
 
2023,
 
UBS
 
Group
 
AG
 
formally
 
acquired
 
Credit
 
Suisse
 
Group
 
AG
 
through
 
merger
 
by
 
absorption.
 
In
 
the
standalone financial statements
 
of UBS Group
 
AG, the acquisition
 
has been applied
 
retroactively as
 
of 1 January 2023,
whereby
 
assets
 
of
 
USD 108,029m
 
(CHF 99,850m),
 
liabilities
 
of
 
USD 83,512m
 
(CHF 77,189m)
 
and
 
equity
 
of
USD 24,517m (CHF 22,661m) were recognized. In
 
exchange, the transferring shareholders obtained
 
176m shares of UBS
Group AG previously held as treasury
 
shares. In addition, contingent liabilities of USD 879m (CHF 812m) were
 
assumed.
As
 
part
 
of
 
acquisition
 
accounting,
 
UBS
 
Group
 
AG
 
recorded
 
an
 
impairment
 
of
 
its
 
investment
 
in
 
Credit
 
Suisse
 
AG
 
of
USD 21,855m (CHF 19,648m)
 
for the
 
difference between
 
the book
 
value of
 
the assets and
 
liabilities acquired
 
(through
merger by absorption of Credit Suisse
 
Group AG as of 19 March 2023)
 
and the fair value of UBS
 
shares provided to the
Credit Suisse Group AG shareholders as of 12 June 2023.
Investments in, and merger of UBS AG and Credit Suisse
 
AG
On 31 May 2024, UBS AG completed the
 
merger by absorption of Credit Suisse
 
AG, and the historic cost value and the
assigned book value of the two participations were
 
merged.
As of 31 December 2023, the investments of UBS Group AG in both UBS AG and Credit Suisse AG were
 
aggregated for
impairment (reversal) testing
 
purposes. Such an aggregation
 
(i.e. “valuation unit”) was
 
permitted under the accounting
rules applicable to
 
UBS Group
 
AG given that
 
at this time
 
UBS AG and
 
Credit Suisse
 
AG were closely
 
interlinked due
 
to
the contemplated merger of these two entities. The applicable accounting rules also permitted the historic cost value for
the investment
 
in Credit
 
Suisse AG,
 
as per
 
the former
 
Credit Suisse
 
Group
 
AG standalone
 
financial statements,
 
to be
combined with the cost value for the investment in UBS AG.
 
The book value assigned to the investment in the combined
entity (UBS AG and
 
Credit Suisse AG) of
 
USD 72,567m (CHF 61,079m)
 
was below the
 
cost value under these
 
rules and
below the
 
recoverable amount
 
determined as
 
of 31 December
 
2023 by
 
using a
 
discounted cash
 
flow model
 
based on
the business plan for the combined entity.
Write-off of additional tier 1 (AT1) instruments formerly issued
 
by Credit Suisse Group AG
On
 
19 March
 
2023,
 
as
 
ordered
 
by
 
the
 
Swiss
 
Financial
 
Market
 
Supervisory
 
Authority
 
(FINMA),
 
additional
 
tier 1
 
(AT1)
instruments formerly issued by Credit Suisse Group AG in a total amount of USD 17,317m (CHF 15,771m) were written Note 4 Dividend income from investments in subsidiaries

is based on
 
the total number

number of shares
 
issued as of

2 For illustrative purposes, converted at the closing exchange
 
rate as of 31 December 2024 (CHF / USD 1.10).
As set out above,
 
half of the
 
ordinary dividend distribution
 
of USD 0.90 (gross)
 
in cash per
 
share is payable
 
out of total
profit, and the other half is payable
 
out of the capital contribution reserve.
 
The portion of the dividend paid out
 
of total
profit will be subject to a 35% Swiss withholding tax.
The ordinary dividend
 
distribution is declared
 
in US dollars. Shareholders
 
whose shares are
 
held through SIX
 
SIS AG will
receive dividends
 
in Swiss
 
francs, based
 
on a
 
published exchange
 
rate calculated
 
up to
 
five decimal
 
places on
 
the day
prior to the ex-dividend
 
date. Shareholders holding shares through
 
DTC or directly registered
 
in the US share
 
register with
Computershare will be paid dividends in US dollars.
In May 2024, the US changed its settlement practice from
 
t+2, as common in Europe, to t+1, to reduce
 
the risk between
the execution
 
and settlement
 
of a
 
trade. To
 
align the
 
two different
 
settlement practices
 
regarding the
 
corporate event
key dates, UBS decided to set the ex-dividend date
 
on the NYSE one day later than on the SIX Swiss
 
Exchange. Provided
that
 
the
 
proposed
 
dividend
 
distribution
 
out
 
of
 
the
 
total
 
profit
 
and
 
the
 
capital
 
contribution
 
reserve
 
is
 
approved,
 
the
payment of USD 0.90 (or the Swiss franc equivalent) per
 
share will be made on 17 April 2025
 
to holders of shares on the
record date 16 April 2025 on the SIX Swiss Exchange and the NYSE. However, on
 
the SIX Swiss Exchange, the shares will
be
 
traded
 
ex-dividend
 
as
 
of
 
15
 
April
 
2025
 
and,
 
accordingly,
 
the
 
last
 
day
 
on
 
which
 
the
 
shares
 
may
 
be
 
traded
 
with
entitlement to
 
receive the dividend
 
will be 14
 
April 2025. On
 
the NYSE,
 
the shares will
 
be traded
 
ex-dividend as of
 
16 April
2025, and the last day on
 
which the shares may be traded with
 
entitlement to receive the dividend will be
 
15 April 2025.
