Off-balance sheet items
UBS Switzerland
 
AG is
 
jointly
 
and severally
 
liable for
 
the
 
combined value
 
-added tax
 
(VAT)
 
liability of
 
UBS entities
 
that
belong to the VAT
 
group of UBS in Switzerland. This contingent liability
 
is not included in the table above.
Swiss deposit insurance
Swiss
 
banking
 
law
 
and
 
the
 
deposit
 
insurance
 
system
 
require
 
Swiss
 
banks
 
and
 
securities
 
dealers
 
to
 
jointly
 
guarantee
privileged client deposits in the event
 
that a Swiss bank or securities dealer
 
becomes insolvent. The payment obligations
for all banks
 
corresponds to
 
the value
 
specified in applicable
 
law of
 
1.6% of all
 
protected deposits
 
in Switzerland.
 
The
share of UBS Switzerland AG in
 
the table above increased to CHF 1,549m as of
 
1 July 2024, compared with CHF 1,193m
as of 31 December 2023, mainly due to the merger with
 
Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG.
Joint and several liability
In
 
June
 
2015,
 
the
 
Personal
 
&
 
Corporate
 
Banking
 
and
 
Wealth
 
Management
 
businesses
 
booked
 
in
 
Switzerland
 
were
transferred from UBS AG to UBS Switzerland
 
AG through an asset transfer in accordance
 
with the Swiss Merger Act.
 
As of
 
31 December
 
2024, the
 
joint and
 
several liability
 
of UBS
 
Switzerland
 
AG for
 
contractual
 
obligations of
 
UBS AG
amounted to CHF 2bn, compared with CHF 3bn as of 31 December
 
2023.
Furthermore, as of
 
31 December 2024,
 
UBS Switzerland
 
AG is also
 
jointly and severally
 
liable for UBS
 
AG’s liabilities of
CHF 538m under
 
the international
 
covered bond
 
program originally
 
issued by
 
former Credit
 
Suisse AG,
 
for which
 
UBS
Switzerland
 
AG
 
has
 
pledged
 
assets
 
with
 
a
 
carrying
 
value
 
of
 
CHF 911m.
 
UBS
 
AG
 
has
 
provided
 
cash
 
deposits
 
to
 
UBS
Switzerland AG to fully collateralize this contingent liability.
As of 31 December 2024, the probability of
 
cash outflows for these matters was assessed to
 
be remote and, as a result,
no exposures were included in the table above.

and
 
Group

to Group entities
 
are settled
 
in cash as
 
hard cost transfers
 
or
hard revenue transfers paid or receiv
 
ed.
When the
 
nature of
 
the underlying
 
transaction
 
between UBS

Post-employment benefit plans
Swiss GAAP
 
permit the
 
use of
 
IFRS Accounting
 
Standards
 
or Swiss
 
accounting standards
 
for post-employment
 
benefit
plans, with the election made on a plan-by-plan basis.
UBS Switzerland AG has elected to apply Swiss GAAP (FER 16) for
 
its pension plan. The requirements of Swiss GAAP are
better aligned with the specific nature
 
of Swiss pension plans, which
 
are hybrid in that they combine
 
elements of defined
contribution and defined benefit
 
plans but are treated
 
as defined benefit plans
 
under IFRS Accounting
 
Standards.
 
Swiss
GAAP (FER 16) require that the employer contributions
 
to the pension fund are recognized as
Personnel expenses
in the
income statement.
 
The employer contributions to the
 
Swiss pension fund are determined as
 
a percentage of contributory
compensation. Furthermore, Swiss
 
GAAP (FER 16) require
 
an assessment as
 
to whether, based
 
on the financial
 
statements
of
 
the

Deferred taxes
Deferred tax assets
 
are not recognized
 
in UBS Switzerland AG’s
 
standalone financial statements.
 
However,
 
deferred tax
liabilities
 
may
 
be
 
recognized

Allowances and provisions for expected credit losses
UBS Switzerland AG
 
is required
 
to apply an
 
expected credit
 
loss (ECL) approach
 
for non-impaired
 
financial instruments
in its standalone financial statements in addition to the approach
 
for impaired financial instruments.
For non-impaired
 
exposures within
 
the scope
 
of the
 
Swiss GAAP
 
ECL requirements,
 
UBS Switzerland AG
 
has generally
chosen to apply the IFRS Accounting Standards ECL approach that is
 
applied in the UBS Group AG consolidated financial
statements
 
for its
 
standalone
 
financial statements.
 
These exposures
 
include all
 
financial assets
 
measured at
 
amortized
cost
 
under
 
both
 
Swiss
 
GAAP
 
and
 
IFRS
 
Accounting
 
Standards,
 
fee
 
and
 
lease
 
receivables,
 
guarantees,
 
irrevocable
 
loan
commitments,
 
revolving
 
revocable
 
credit
 
lines,
 
and
 
forward
 
starting
 
reverse
 
repurchase
 
and
 
securities
 
borrowing
agreements. Further information about
 
the ECL approach under
 
IFRS Accounting Standards is provided
 
in Note 1 to the
consolidated financial statements of UBS Group AG.

Note 2
 
Accounting Policies, Change in Organization and Risk
 
Management (continued)
UBS
 
applies
 
a
 
single
 
definition
 
of
 
default
 
for
 
credit
 
risk
 
management
 
purposes,
 
regulatory
 
reporting
 
and
 
ECL,
 
with
 
a
counterparty classified as defaulted based on quantitative
 
and qualitative criteria.
Refer to the ‘’Risk management and control” section of the
 
UBS Group Annual Report 2024, available under “Annual
 
reporting” at
ubs.com/investors
, for more information
An allowance
 
for credit
 
losses is
 
reported as
 
a decrease
 
in the
 
carrying amount
 
of a
 
financial asset.
 
For an
 
off-balance
sheet
 
item,
 
such
 
as a
 
commitment,
 
a
 
provision
 
for
 
credit
 
losses
 
is reported
 
in
Provisions
.
 
Changes
 
to
 
allowances
 
and
provisions for credit losses are recognized in
Credit loss (expense) / release
.
Refer to Note 10 for more information
Dispensations in the standalone financial statements
As UBS
 
Switzerland
 
AG
 
has
 
no
 
listed
 
shares
 
outstanding
 
and
 
is within
 
the
 
scope
 
of
 
the
 
UBS Group
 
AG consolidated
financial statements prepared in
 
accordance with IFRS Accounting
 
Standards, UBS Switzerland AG
 
is exempt from
 
various
disclosures in the standalone financial statements. The dispensations
 
include the management report and the statement
of cash flows. As the UBS Group
 
AG consolidated financial statements
 
are presented in US
 
dollars, UBS Switzerland AG
provides certain Notes disclosures that would otherwise be covered by the disclosure
 
dispensation,
 
i.e. Notes 14, 15, 16,
19, 20, 21, 23 and 24.
Covered bonds issued
UBS Switzerland
 
AG
 
issues
 
bonds collateralized
 
with pledged
 
mortgage
 
loans. These
 
covered
 
bonds are
 
presented
 
as
Bonds issued and loans from central mortgage institutions
 
and are measured at amortized cost.
Issued and repurchased covered bonds
 
are deemed extinguished for accounting purposes
 
and are derecognized from the
balance sheet. Such covered bonds
 
may serve as collateral
 
in securities financing transactions. In
 
these cases, the pledged
mortgage loans covering the repurchased bonds are disclosed
 
as collateral for the securities financing transaction.
 
Refer to Note 24 and Note 18 for more information
b) Changes in accounting policies
There were no significant changes in accounting
 
policies during 2024.
c) Change in organization
 
The Board of
 
Directors of UBS
 
Group AG approved
 
the merger of
 
UBS Switzerland AG and
 
Credit Suisse (Schweiz)
 
AG.
Following approvals from
 
their respective boards
 
and FINMA, both entities
 
signed a final merger
 
agreement on 25 June
2024. On 1 July 2024, UBS Switzerland AG formally completed the merger by absorption of Credit
 
Suisse (Schweiz) AG.
In the standalone financial statements of UBS Switzerland AG,
 
the acquisition has been applied retroactively as of 1 April
2024 at
 
the previous
 
book values
 
of Credit
 
Suisse (Schweiz)
 
AG. Accordingly,
 
the merger
 
balance sheet
 
with assets
 
of
CHF 220,174m
 
and
 
liabilities
 
of
 
CHF
 
208,991m
 
was
 
initially
 
recognized,
 
with
 
a
 
corresponding
 
increase
 
of
Statutory
capital reserves
 
in equity of
 
CHF 10,483m, of
 
which CHF 9,322m was
 
attributed to
Statutory capital contribution
 
reserves
and CHF 1,161m to
Other statutory capital reserves
. An amount of CHF 700m was retained in
Profit carried forward
 
and
subsequently
 
distributed
 
as
 
dividend,
 
as
 
approved
 
by
 
the
 
Annual
 
General
 
Meeting
 
of
 
Credit
 
Suisse
 
(Schweiz)
 
AG
 
on
23 April 2024, before the merger was legally effective.
 
Similarly, UBS Switzerland
 
AG’s accounting policies were applied
retroactively as of 1 April 2024, which resulted in a measurement loss of CHF 91m, which was recorded as
Extraordinary
expense
.
d) Events after the reporting period
There were no significant events after the reporting period.
e) Risk management
UBS Switzerland AG
 
is fully
 
integrated into
 
the Group-wide
 
risk management
 
process described
 
in the
 
audited part
 
of
the “Risk management and control” section of the
 
UBS Group AG Annual Report 2024.

Extraordinary expenses
Extraordinary expenses of CHF 91m for 2024 relate to the accounting for the merger with Credit Suisse (Schweiz)
 
AG as
of 1 April 2024,
 
as UBS Switzerland
 
AG’s accounting policies
 
and practices were
 
initially applied to
 
the merger balance
sheet. This effect mainly consists of CHF 109m related to immediate expensing of certain loan origination costs and fees
previously deferred
 
and recognized
 
over time,
 
as well
 
as CHF
 
10m for
 
employee benefit
 
and retirement
 
benefit plans,
and was partly reduced by CHF 26m related to lower
 
allowances and provisions for expected credit losses.

Country risk of total assets
The table below
 
provides a breakdown of total
 
non-Swiss assets by credit
 
rating. These credit ratings
 
reflect the sovereign
credit rating of
 
the country to which
 
the ultimate risk
 
of the underlying asset
 
is related. The
 
ultimate country of
 
risk for
unsecured loan positions
 
is the domicile of
 
the immediate borrower
 
or,
 
in the case of
 
a legal entity,
 
the domicile of the

positions,
 
the
 
ultimate
 
country
 
of
 
risk
 
is
 
the

the
provider of the
 
collateral or guarantor
 
or,
 
if applicable, the
 
domicile of the
 
ultimate parent entity
 
of the provider
 
of the

Key metrics for the fourth quarter of 2024
The
 
table
 
below
 
is
 
based
 
on
 
Basel
 
Committee
 
on
 
Banking
 
Supervision
 
(BCBS)
 
Basel III
 
rules
 
and
 
IFRS
 
Accounting
Standards.
During the fourth quarter of 2024, common
 
equity tier 1 capital decreased by CHF
 
0.4bn to CHF 21.7bn, mainly due to
the operating profit being more than offset by additional
 
dividend accruals.
 
Total
 
risk-weighted
 
assets
 
(RWA)
 
increased
 
by
 
CHF 1.0bn
 
to
 
CHF 186.3bn,
 
mainly
 
driven
 
by
 
higher
 
credit
 
risk
 
RWA,
primarily due to an increase in lending, as well as higher
 
market risk RWA.
The leverage
 
ratio denominator
 
(the LRD)
 
decreased by
 
CHF 11.4bn to
 
CHF 556.1bn, mainly
 
due to
 
a reduction
 
in the
exposure to the Swiss National Bank, driven by treasury activities.
The
 
quarterly
 
average
 
liquidity
 
coverage
 
ratio
 
(the
 
LCR)
 
of
 
UBS
 
Switzerland AG
 
decreased
 
3.2 percentage
 
points
 
to
143.5%, remaining above
 
the prudential requirement
 
communicated by the
 
Swiss Financial Market Supervisory
 
Authority
(FINMA). The movement
 
in the quarterly
 
average LCR was
 
driven by an
 
increase in net
 
cash outflows and a
 
decrease in
high-quality liquid
 
assets (HQLA).
 
Net cash outflows
 
increased by
 
CHF 1.2bn to CHF
 
87.2bn, reflecting
 
higher outflows
from
 
customer
 
deposits,
 
partly
 
offset
 
by
 
lower
 
net
 
outflows
 
from
 
derivatives.
 
HQLA
 
decreased
 
by
 
CHF 1.0bn
 
to
CHF 125.0bn, primarily driven
 
by lower cash
 
available from funding
 
received from UBS
 
AG, partly offset by
 
higher cash
available
 
from
 
a
 
reduction
 
in
 
lending
 
assets,
 
higher
 
customer
 
deposits
 
and
 
an
 
issuance
 
of
 
EUR-denominated
 
covered
bonds on 23 September 2024.
As of 31 December 2024, the net stable funding ratio
 
decreased 2.5 percentage points to 132.2%, remaining above the
prudential requirement
 
communicated
 
by FINMA.
 
Available stable
 
funding decreased
 
by CHF 10.0bn
 
to CHF 359.2bn,
mainly
 
driven
 
by
 
lower
 
customer
 
deposits.
 
Required
 
stable
 
funding
 
decreased
 
by
 
CHF 2.3bn
 
to
 
CHF 271.7bn,
 
mainly
driven by lower lending assets.
