Operating environment

Global economic growth remained weak in 2Q19. Global equity markets ended the quarter higher. Major government bond yields were generally lower and the US dollar had a mixed performance against major currencies.

Economic environment

Global growth remained weak in 2Q19. A sharp escalation in US tariffs on imports from China weighed on manufacturing activity and business surveys around the world stood at low levels. US growth continued to ease, but a robust labor market and solid consumer spending levels indicated that recession risks remain low. In Asia, short-term trade data suggested a slight pick-up in activity in April, which reversed towards the end of the quarter after tariffs were increased. European business surveys remained subdued, but showed some signs of improvement.

The US Federal Reserve (Fed) kept rates unchanged at the June meeting, but indicated they are prepared to ease policy rates at upcoming meetings. The European Central Bank (ECB) left rates unchanged, but rhetoric from the president of the ECB turned significantly more accommodative. The Swiss National Bank (SNB), the Bank of Japan (BoJ) and the Bank of England also kept policy rates unchanged. Some emerging market central banks cut rates.

Global equity prices ended 2Q19 3.6% higher compared to 1Q19. Developed market stock indices outperformed emerging markets, which increased by 0.3% (refer to the charts under "Equity markets"). Information technology, financials and consumer discretionary were the strongest sectors. In contrast, energy and real estate underperformed. The Chicago Board Options Exchange Market Volatility Index (VIX) increased compared to 1Q19 (refer to the charts under "Equity markets"). The Credit Suisse Hedge Fund Index increased 2.3% in 2Q19.

In fixed income, bonds delivered a positive return against a backdrop of continued global growth concerns and trade tariff tensions. In US dollar rates, the spread between the 3-month and 10-year US treasury yields remained inverted and the market priced in expected Fed rate cuts in the next 12-months. In euro and Swiss franc rates, the yield curve decreased across all maturities. In credit, both global developed and emerging market corporate bonds showed strong returns in 2Q19, with spreads remaining tight over the quarter. Emerging market hard-currency and local-currency sovereign bond performance were resilient (refer to the charts under “Yield curves” and “Credit spreads” for further information).

The US dollar advanced in April and May against most major currencies but retreated in June after the Fed indicated possible future interest rate cuts. The Japanese yen and the Swiss franc benefitted most from the US dollar’s weakness and were the best performers in 2Q19, although gains remained modest. Despite accommodative ECB comments, the euro gained against the US dollar. The British pound was the main underperformer among major currencies as the uncertainties regarding the expected withdrawal of the UK from the EU continue to weigh on the currency. Emerging market currencies recovered some of their early 2Q19 losses against the US dollar by the end of June.

The Credit Suisse Commodity Benchmark decreased 0.4% in 2Q19. Precious metals benefitted from falling US interest rates and shifts in central bank policy guidance. Agriculture also outperformed whereas cyclical industrial metals underperformed. Energy slightly underperformed the benchmark amid price volatility in the quarter. Initial weakness in oil markets due to demand concerns were reversed when geopolitical tensions and supply risks in the Middle East rose.

Sector environment

Global bank stocks ended 2Q19 4.4% higher compared to 1Q19, outperforming global stocks by 0.8%. European bank stocks ended the quarter unchanged after a strong outperformance at the beginning of April.

In private banking, the industry has experienced a long-term fundamental growth trend fueled by economic growth and a generally supportive investment environment. Despite a sharp sell-off of risk assets in May, financial markets ended 2Q19 broadly positive. Against these market trends, challenges included an anticipated change to monetary policy by central banks after a string of weak economic data and worry over the threat from greater protectionism among the largest trade partners. In addition, the private banking sector continued to face pressure as it adapts to structural and regulatory changes while pursuing new opportunities and efficiencies arising from digital technology.

In investment banking, equity trading volumes and announced mergers and acquisitions (M&A) increased globally and in Europe compared to 1Q19, but were lower compared to 2Q18. Completed M&A decreased significantly globally and in Europe compared to both 1Q19 and 2Q18. Equity underwriting volumes increased globally and in Europe compared to 1Q19, but were lower compared to 2Q18. Global debt underwriting volumes were lower compared to 1Q19, but higher compared to 2Q18. European debt underwriting volumes were lower compared to 1Q19 and 2Q18. Investment grade syndicated lending decreased compared to 1Q19. The first six months showed significantly lower investment grade syndicated lending compared to the same period in 2018. Total US fixed income trading volumes remained unchanged compared to 1Q19, but were higher compared to 2Q18 mainly driven by an increase in mortgage-backed volumes and treasury volumes.

Results summary

2Q19 results

In 2Q19, Credit Suisse reported net income attributable to shareholders of CHF 937 million compared to CHF 647 million in 2Q18 and CHF 749 million in 1Q19. In 2Q19, Credit Suisse reported income before taxes of CHF 1,302 million, compared to CHF 1,052 million in 2Q18 and CHF 1,062 million in 1Q19.

Results details

Net revenues

In 2Q19, we reported net revenues of CHF 5,581 million, which were stable compared to 2Q18, primarily reflecting lower net revenues in Investment Banking & Capital Markets, offset by higher net revenues in Global Markets and Swiss Universal Bank. The decrease in Investment Banking & Capital Markets was driven by lower revenues from advisory and other fees and debt underwriting, partially offset by higher revenues from equity underwriting. The increase in Global Markets was driven by improved trading activity reflecting investor demand for yield products and reduced funding costs. The increase in Swiss Universal Bank mainly reflected gains on the sale of real estate in Private Clients, partially offset by lower recurring commissions and fees and slightly lower net interest income.

2Q19 included negative net revenues of CHF 184 million in the Corporate Center, which beginning in 1Q19 included the impact of the Asset Resolution Unit.

Compared to 1Q19, net revenues increased 4%, primarily reflecting higher net revenues in Investment Banking & Capital Markets, Swiss Universal Bank and Global Markets. The increase in Investment Banking & Capital Markets was driven by higher revenues across all businesses. The increase in Swiss Universal Bank mainly reflected higher gains on the sale of real estate in Private Clients and higher transaction-based revenues. The increase in Global Markets reflected higher underwriting activity due to improved market conditions, partially offset by lower equity trading activity.

Provision for credit losses

In 2Q19, provision for credit losses was CHF 25 million, primarily related to net provisions of CHF 10 million in Swiss Universal Bank and CHF 9 million in International Wealth Management.

Total operating expenses

In 2018, we completed our Group-wide three-year restructuring plan. During its term, operating expenses relating to the restructuring plan were disclosed separately, in line with the disclosure requirements for such a program.

Compared to 2Q18, total operating expenses of CHF 4,254 million decreased 5%, primarily reflecting restructuring expenses of CHF 175 million incurred in 2Q18 and a 2% decrease in general and administrative expenses, mainly relating to lower litigation provisions and lower professional services fees.

Compared to 1Q19, total operating expenses were stable, primarily reflecting a 1% increase in compensation and benefits, primarily relating to higher salaries and variable compensation expenses and lower social security expenses, offset by a 1% decrease in general and administrative expenses, mainly relating to lower occupancy expenses.

Income tax expense

In 2Q19, income tax expense of CHF 365 million mainly reflected the impact of the continuous reassessment of the estimated annual effective tax rate, which was impacted by the non-deductible funding costs as well as valuation allowances relating to current year earnings. Additionally, the 2Q19 tax expense was positively impacted by the release of previously unrecognized tax benefits, partially offset by the impact of shortfall tax charges on share-based compensation delivered in this period. The Credit Suisse effective tax rate was 28.0% in 2Q19 compared to 29.5% in 1Q19. Overall, net deferred tax assets decreased CHF 321 million to CHF 4,143 million during 2Q19, mainly driven by pension liabilities, earnings and foreign exchange impacts, partially offset by own credit movements. Deferred tax assets on net operating losses increased CHF 64 million to CHF 1,678 million during 2Q19.

The US tax reform enacted on December 22, 2017 resulted in a reduction of the federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, effective as of January 1, 2018.

The reform also introduced the US base erosion and anti-abuse tax (BEAT), effective as of January 1, 2018. On the basis of the current analysis of the BEAT tax regime, following the draft regulations issued by the US Department of Treasury on December 13, 2018, Credit Suisse considers it as more likely than not that the Group will be subject to this regime in 2019, with an expected impact on the group tax rate similar to 2018. The finalization of the US BEAT regulations is expected to occur in 2019, at which point the above BEAT positions for the tax years 2018 and 2019 will need to be re-assessed.

Prospectively, additional tax regulations of the US tax reform may also impact Credit Suisse.

Regulatory capital

As of the end of 2Q19, our Bank for International Settlements (BIS) common equity tier 1 (CET1) ratio was 12.5% and our risk-weighted assets were CHF 290.8 billion.

Reconciliation of adjusted results

Adjusted results referred to in this document are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain items included in our reported results. During the implementation of our strategy, it was important to measure the progress achieved by our underlying business performance. Management believes that adjusted results provide a useful presentation of our operating results for purposes of assessing our Group and divisional performance consistently over time, on a basis that excludes items that management does not consider representative of our underlying performance. Provided below is a reconciliation of our adjusted results to the most directly comparable US GAAP measures. The Group completed its three-year restructuring plan outlined in 2015 at the end of 2018. Any subsequent expenses incurred such as severance payments or charges in relation to the termination of real estate contracts are recorded as ordinary compensation or other expenses in our reported results and are no longer excluded from adjusted results.

Employees and other headcount

In 2Q19, as part of a review of headcount allocation keys, we recalibrated the divisional allocations for corporate function services mainly relating to the wind-down of the Strategic Resolution Unit and changes in the utilization of corporate function services by the divisions. Prior period headcount allocations have not been restated.

There were 46,360 Group employees as of the end of 2Q19, a net increase of 160 compared to 1Q19, primarily reflecting increases in Global Markets and Swiss Universal Bank, partially offset by decreases in International Wealth Management and the Corporate Center. The number of outsourced roles, contractors and consultants decreased by 340 compared to 1Q19.

Format of presentation

In managing our business, revenues are evaluated in the aggregate, including an assessment of trading gains and losses and the related interest income and expense from financing and hedging positions. For this reason, specific individual revenue categories in isolation may not be indicative of performance.

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods to conform to the current presentation.

Awards

Credit Suisse received a number of significant Euromoney Awards for Excellence 2019, including:

■ The World’s Best Bank for Wealth Management;

■ Switzerland’s Best Bank;

■ Switzerland’s Best Investment Bank;

■ Best Bank for Wealth Management in Latin America;

■ Best Bank for Wealth Management in the Middle East;

■ Asia’s Best Bank for Wealth Management; and

■ Western Europe’s Best Bank for Advisory.

Return on regulatory capital

Credit Suisse measures firm-wide returns against total shareholders’ equity and tangible shareholders’ equity (a non-GAAP financial measure). In addition, it also measures the efficiency of the firm and its divisions with regard to the usage of capital as determined by the minimum requirements set by regulators. This regulatory capital is calculated as the worst of 10% of risk-weighted assets and 3.5% of leverage exposure. Return on regulatory capital is calculated using income/(loss) after tax and assumes a tax rate of 30% and capital allocated based on the worst of 10% of average risk-weighted assets and 3.5% of average leverage exposure. These percentages are used in the calculation in order to reflect the 2019 fully phased in Swiss regulatory minimum requirements for Basel III CET1 capital and leverage ratio. For Global Markets and Investment Banking & Capital Markets, return on regulatory capital is based on US dollar denominated numbers. Adjusted return on regulatory capital is calculated using adjusted results, applying the same methodology used to calculate return on regulatory capital.

Management changes

Effective July 1, 2019, Philipp Wehle was appointed to the Executive Board as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of International Wealth Management. Iqbal Khan stepped down from the Executive Board and his position as CEO of International Wealth Management.

Credit Suisse InvestLab AG

In June 2019, we announced an agreement with Allfunds Group (Allfunds) to combine our open architecture investment fund platform, Credit Suisse InvestLab AG, with Allfunds. The transaction comprises the transfer of all shares in Credit Suisse InvestLab AG, including the service agreements and related distribution agreements of Credit Suisse AG, to Allfunds. The transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions including anti-trust and regulatory approvals, will be implemented in staggered closings, with the first closing expected in 3Q19. As part of this combination, Credit Suisse AG will become a minority shareholder of up to 18% in the combined business and will be represented on the board of directors. Going forward, Credit Suisse AG will utilize the combined business platform to distribute mutual funds and exchange-traded funds.

Fair valuations

Fair value can be a relevant measurement for financial instruments when it aligns the accounting for these instruments with how we manage our business. The levels of the fair value hierarchy as defined by the relevant accounting guidance are not a measurement of economic risk, but rather an indication of the observability of prices or valuation inputs.

As of the end of 2Q19, 38% and 26% of our total assets and total liabilities, respectively, were measured at fair value.

The majority of our level 3 assets are recorded in our investment banking businesses. As of the end of 2Q19, total assets at fair value recorded as level 3 decreased CHF 1.1 billion to CHF 15.1 billion compared to the end of 1Q19, primarily reflecting net transfers, net sales and a negative foreign exchange impact, all mainly in trading assets, partially offset by net realized/unrealized losses, mainly in trading assets.

As of the end of 2Q19, our level 3 assets comprised 2% of total assets and 5% of total assets measured at fair value, stable compared to the end of 1Q19.

We believe that the range of any valuation uncertainty, in the aggregate, would not be material to our financial condition; however, it may be material to our operating results for any particular period, depending, in part, upon the operating results for such period.

Government leaders and regulators continued to focus on reform of the financial services industry, including capital, leverage and liquidity requirements, changes in compensation practices and systemic risk.

On May 10, 2019, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) proposed rule amendments and guidance addressing the cross-border application of certain security-based swap dealer requirements under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act). The proposal would, among other changes, create a conditional exception from the requirement that security-based swaps between a non-US counterparty and a non-US security-based swap dealer that are arranged, negotiated or executed by US personnel acting for the non-US security-based swap dealer count towards the de minimis threshold above which the non-US security-based swap dealer must register with the SEC. The proposal also would clarify certain aspects of requirements that a non-US security-based swap dealer submit a certification and legal opinion regarding SEC access to books and records when it registers with the SEC, and it would create exceptions from background check requirements for certain non-US personnel of a security-based swap dealer. Although the proposal would alleviate some issues that the security-based swap dealer requirements pose to non-US firms who conduct US security-based swap business, including Credit Suisse, our cross-border security-based swap business may be negatively impacted unless the SEC makes further changes to the requirements before they take effect.

On September 28, 2018, the Tax Proposal 17 or the Federal Act on Tax Reform and AHV Financing (TRAF) was adopted by the Swiss Parliament. In January 2019, the optional referendum was called, and on May 19, 2019 the Swiss public voted in favor of TRAF. Following the adoption by the Swiss public, the main provisions will now enter into force on January 1, 2020, with some provisions having already become effective on January 1, 2019, including certain provisions on step-up. As a result of the adoption of TRAF, several cantons have released cantonal laws implementing the applicable measures and cut the effective tax rates to as low as 12%, subject in each case to a potential cantonal referendum. These cantonal laws are also expected to enter into effect on January 1, 2020.

On June 5, 2019, the SEC finalized capital, margin and segregation requirements for security-based swap dealers. For the most part, we expect these requirements to apply to our non-bank derivatives dealer entities, Credit Suisse Capital LLC (CSC) and Credit Suisse Securities Europe Limited (CSSEL). We do not expect a significant impact to CSC because it is already subject to SEC capital requirements as an over-the-counter derivatives dealer registered with the SEC, the SEC’s new margin requirements are aligned in key respects with Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) margin requirements that already apply to CSC as a CFTC-registered swap dealer, and CSC should be eligible for exemption from certain SEC segregation requirements. CSSEL may, with further approval by the SEC, be able to satisfy SEC capital and margin requirements through substituted compliance with comparable UK requirements and may also be eligible for exemption from certain SEC segregation requirements. If, however, CSSEL is unable to rely on substituted compliance in connection with SEC capital and margin requirements, it will face conflicts between SEC and UK requirements that could prevent it from continuing to trade security-based swaps with US persons. These requirements, as well as other SEC rules applicable to security-based swap dealers, will take effect 18 months after the later of when the SEC finalizes the cross-border proposal noted above or it finalizes recordkeeping and financial reporting rules for security-based swap dealers.

On June 5, 2019, the SEC adopted Regulation Best Interest (Regulation BI), requiring all broker-dealers, when recommending any securities transaction or investment strategy involving securities to a retail customer, to act in the customer’s best interest and not place its own financial or other interests ahead of the customer’s. Under Regulation BI, a broker-dealer will need to (1) adopt policies and procedures to comply with Regulation BI, including its underlying disclosure, care, and conflict of interest obligations and (2) fully and fairly disclose all material facts relating to the scope and terms of its relationship with the retail customer and to conflicts of interest associated with the recommendation. The SEC simultaneously adopted

16

the “Form CRS” disclosure requirement, obligating all broker-dealers to deliver a relationship summary to any retail customer at the initiation of the relationship. Both Regulation BI and Form CRS enter into force June 30, 2020.

On June 21, 2019, the Board of Governors of the US Federal Reserve (Fed) released the results of its Dodd-Frank Act stress tests, followed by the results of its annual Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR) on June 27, 2019. Our US intermediate holding company (IHC) was projected to maintain capital ratios above minimum regulatory requirements in the adverse and severely adverse supervisory stress scenarios. The Fed did not object to our US IHC’s proposed capital plan, but did issue a conditional non objection after identifying weaknesses in our capital adequacy planning process regarding the assumptions used to project stressed trading losses. The Fed is requiring us to address these weaknesses by October 27, 2019. Until we satisfactorily address these identified weaknesses, the Fed has restricted our US IHC’s planned capital distributions to the amount the US IHC was authorized to pay under its 2018 capital plan.

On June 27, 2019, the amendments to the Capital Requirements Regulation (through the amending Regulation CRR II), the Capital Requirements Directive IV (through the amending Regulation CRD V) and the EU Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive (through the amending Regulation BRRD II) entered into force. These amendments implement, among others, the Financial Stability Board standards for Total Loss Absorbing Capacity (TLAC), together with various agreed reforms to the Basel III prudential framework (including the final Basel III leverage ratio and net stable funding ratio requirements, and substantial changes to the market risk framework), as well as related EU-specific reforms, such as a new requirement for non-EU banking groups with two or more institutions and at least EUR 40 billion of assets in the European Union (EU) to establish an EU intermediate financial holding company that would be subject to consolidated prudential supervision in the EU. While the majority of the CRR II will only apply from June 28, 2021, certain requirements, such as the new TLAC requirements, applied immediately on entry into force. EU member states will be required to adopt national legislative measures necessary to comply with CRD V and BRRD II by December 28, 2020. The requirement for an intermediate holding company will be delayed until December 2023.

On December 21, 2017, the European Commission recognized the equivalence of the Swiss legal and supervisory framework for trading venues with that of the EU for a temporary period of one year, which it later extended until June 30, 2019. The recognition allowed EU investment firms to meet the applicable share trading obligation pursuant to the Markets in Financial Instruments Regulation (MiFIR) on Swiss trading venues. As the European Commission did not extend the recognition beyond June 30, 2019, since July 1, 2019 EU investment firms are, in principle, prohibited from trading in certain equity securities of companies domiciled in Switzerland on Swiss trading venues. On June 27, 2019, the Swiss Federal Department of Finance (FDF) announced that it will activate protective measures in Switzerland to ensure the functioning of Swiss trading venues. Since July 1, 2019, trading venues, including trading venues domiciled in the EU, require a recognition by FINMA if they offer or facilitate trading in certain equity securities of Swiss companies. With effect from July 1, 2019, the FDF placed the EU on a list of jurisdictions for which no such recognition will be granted, effectively prohibiting trading venues domiciled in the EU from offering or facilitating trading in certain equity securities of Swiss companies as of such date.

On July 17, 2019, the US Senate approved the 2009 protocol (the Protocol) amending the double taxation agreement regarding income tax between Switzerland and the USA (DTA). The Protocol had been approved by the Swiss Federal Assembly on June 18, 2010. Formally, the Protocol will enter into force once the instruments of ratification are exchanged. The Protocol introduces a mechanism for the exchange of information upon request in tax matters between Switzerland and the USA, which is in line with international standards, and allows the US to make group requests under FATCA concerning non-consenting US accounts and non-consenting non-participating foreign financial institutions for periods from June 30, 2014. The Protocol further erases the differentiation between tax evasion and tax fraud in the context of administrative assistance to permit any exchanges of information as may be relevant to the administration or enforcement of the domestic laws concerning taxes. Among other things, the Protocol permits information requests concerning facts from September 23, 2009 onwards (date of signature of the Protocol).

On July 26, 2019, the Swiss Federal Supreme Court rendered a judgment allowing the Swiss Federal Tax Authority (FTA) to provide the French Direction Générale des Finances Publiques (DGFP) information on the identity of approximately 40,000 clients of UBS. With this decision the Court confirmed the FTA’s original decision and the recent practice taken by this authority in administrative assistance in tax matters. Credit Suisse was not a party to the proceedings. Once the written judgment has been published, Credit Suisse will analyze the effects the judgment may have.

Results summary

2Q19 results

In 2Q19, income before taxes of CHF 654 million increased 18% compared to 2Q18. Net revenues of CHF 1,476 million increased 4%, mainly reflecting gains on the sale of real estate of CHF 87 million in Private Clients, partially offset by lower recurring commissions and fees and slightly lower net interest income. Provision for credit losses was CHF 10 million compared to CHF 35 million in 2Q18. Total operating expenses of CHF 812 million were slightly lower, mainly reflecting the restructuring expenses incurred in 2Q18 and lower commission expenses, partially offset by higher general and administrative expenses.

Compared to 1Q19, income before taxes increased 19%. Net revenues increased 7%, mainly reflecting higher gains on the sale of real estate in Private Clients and higher transaction-based revenues. Provision for credit losses was CHF 10 million compared to CHF 29 million in 1Q19. Total operating expenses were slightly higher, reflecting higher compensation and benefits, partially offset by lower commission expenses.

Capital and leverage metrics

As of the end of 2Q19, we reported risk-weighted assets of CHF 77.0 billion, stable compared to the end of 1Q19, driven by internal model and parameter updates, mainly reflecting increased operational risk as a result of updated allocation keys, and by external model and parameter updates, mainly reflecting the phase-in of the Swiss mortgage multipliers, offset by movements in risk levels and a foreign exchange impact. Leverage exposure of CHF 261.2 billion was CHF 1.8 billion higher compared to the end of 1Q19, mainly driven by large transactions and business growth.

Private Clients

Results details

In 2Q19, income before taxes of CHF 356 million increased 33% compared to 2Q18, driven by higher net revenues and slightly lower total operating expenses. Compared to 1Q19, income before taxes increased 30%, mainly reflecting higher net revenues.

Net revenues

Compared to 2Q18, net revenues of CHF 828 million increased 9%, mainly driven by the gains on the sale of real estate of CHF 87 million reflected in other revenues. Transaction-based revenues of CHF 120 million were slightly higher, mainly due to higher equity participations income which included a regular and a special dividend from our ownership interest in SIX Group totaling CHF 17 million, partially offset by lower fees from foreign exchange client business and lower revenues from International Trading Solutions (ITS). Net interest income of CHF 419 million was slightly lower with lower deposit margins and stable loan margins on slightly higher average deposit and loan volumes. Recurring commissions and fees of CHF 202 million decreased 4%, primarily reflecting lower revenues from our investment in Swisscard, slightly lower security account and custody services fees and slightly lower discretionary mandate management fees.

Compared to 1Q19, net revenues increased 12%, with higher revenues across all revenue categories. 2Q19 included higher gains on the sale of real estate reflected in other revenues. Transaction-based revenues were 19% higher, mainly due to higher equity participations income which included the regular and the special dividend from SIX Group. Net interest income was slightly higher with higher treasury revenues, stable loan margins on stable average loan volumes and lower deposit margins on slightly higher average deposit volumes. Recurring commissions and fees were slightly higher, primarily reflecting higher investment advisory fees, slightly higher security account and custody services fees and slightly higher discretionary mandate management fees.

Provision for credit losses

The Private Clients loan portfolio is substantially comprised of residential mortgages in Switzerland and loans collateralized by securities and, to a lesser extent, consumer finance loans.

In 2Q19, Private Clients recorded provision for credit losses of CHF 10 million compared to provision for credit losses of CHF 11 million in 2Q18 and CHF 11 million in 1Q19. The provisions were primarily related to our consumer finance business.

Total operating expenses

Compared to 2Q18, total operating expenses of CHF 462 million were slightly lower, mainly reflecting the restructuring expenses incurred in 2Q18. General and administrative expenses of CHF 162 million were slightly higher. Compensation and benefits of CHF 276 million were stable.

Compared to 1Q19, total operating expenses were stable, with higher compensation and benefits, offset by slightly lower general and administrative expenses. Compensation and benefits increased 4%, mainly due to slightly higher salary expenses and higher social security expenses. General and administrative expenses were slightly lower, driven by lower allocated corporate function costs and lower occupancy expenses.

Margins

Our gross margin was 156 basis points in 2Q19, an increase of eleven basis points compared to 2Q18, primarily due to the gains on the sale of real estate, partially offset by slightly higher average assets under management, slightly lower net interest income and lower recurring commissions and fees. Compared to 1Q19, our gross margin was 13 basis points higher, mainly reflecting the higher gains on the sale of real estate and higher transaction-based revenues, partially offset by slightly higher average assets under management.

> Refer to “Assets under management” for further information.

Our net margin was 67 basis points in 2Q19, an increase of 16 basis points compared to 2Q18, primarily reflecting higher net revenues and slightly lower total operating expenses, partially offset by the slightly higher average assets under management. Compared to 1Q19, our net margin was 14 basis points higher, primarily due to higher net revenues, partially offset by the slightly higher average assets under management.

Assets under management

As of the end of 2Q19, assets under management of CHF 214.7 billion were CHF 4.0 billion higher compared to the end of 1Q19, mainly driven by favorable market movements and net new assets. Net new assets of CHF 1.2 billion reflected positive contributions from all businesses.

Results details

In 2Q19, income before taxes of CHF 298 million was 5% higher compared to 2Q18, mainly reflecting lower provision for credit losses, partially offset by slightly lower net revenues. Compared to 1Q19, income before taxes was 8% higher, driven by lower provision for credit losses.

Net revenues

Compared to 2Q18, net revenues of CHF 648 million decreased slightly, driven by lower recurring commissions and fees and slightly lower net interest income, partially offset by slightly higher transaction-based revenues. Recurring commissions and fees of CHF 165 million were 6% lower, mainly due to lower fees from lending activities, decreased banking services fees and lower investment product management fees, partially offset by higher wealth structuring solution fees and higher discretionary mandate management fees. Net interest income of CHF 303 million decreased slightly, with lower treasury revenues, stable loan margins on slightly higher average loan volumes and higher deposit margins on stable average deposit volumes.

Compared to 1Q19, net revenues increased slightly, mainly reflecting higher transaction-based revenues and slightly higher recurring commissions and fees. Transaction-based revenues increased 4%, mainly due to higher equity participations income which included the regular and the special dividend from SIX Group, higher revenues from our Swiss investment banking business, higher corporate advisory and higher brokerage and product issuing fees, partially offset by lower revenues from ITS. Recurring commissions and fees were slightly higher, mainly reflecting higher wealth structuring solution fees. Net interest income was stable with lower deposit margins on slightly lower average deposit volumes and stable loan margins on stable average loan volumes.

Provision for credit losses

The Corporate & Institutional Clients loan portfolio has relatively low concentrations and is mainly secured by real estate, securities and other financial collateral.

Results details

Fixed income sales and trading

In 2Q19, fixed income sales and trading revenues of CHF 899 million increased 12% compared to 2Q18, driven by higher results in our credit businesses reflecting improved client activity. Securitized products revenues increased, reflecting continued positive momentum in our asset finance franchise and substantially higher agency trading activity which benefited from low rate volatility. Global credit products revenues increased, primarily due to higher investment grade trading activity, reflecting benefits from investments in the franchise and increased client activity, partially offset by lower leveraged finance trading revenues. Emerging markets revenues decreased, primarily driven by lower structured credit and financing revenues in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) which benefited from increased client activity in 2Q18, partially offset by higher financing and trading activity in Latin America. In addition, macro products revenues decreased, primarily due to lower foreign exchange revenues resulting from reduced foreign exchange volatility, partially offset by improved results in our rates business.

Compared to a subdued 1Q19, fixed income sales and trading revenues were stable, as higher securitized products revenues offset a decline in client activity across emerging markets, macro and global credit products. Securitized products revenues increased, reflecting continued momentum in our asset finance franchise and significantly improved agency and non-agency trading revenues. This was partially offset by lower macro products revenues, reflecting reduced results in our foreign exchange and rates businesses. Emerging markets revenues decreased, reflecting lower structured credit and trading revenues across regions and reduced financing in EMEA due to lower client activity. In addition, global credit products revenues decreased, primarily due to lower leveraged finance trading activity.

Equity sales and trading

In 2Q19, equity sales and trading revenues of CHF 509 million increased 4% compared to 2Q18, reflecting higher prime services and cash equities revenues, partially offset by lower client activity in equity derivatives. Prime services revenues increased, primarily due to higher listed derivatives revenues. In addition, cash equities revenues increased, reflecting improved trading activity in the Americas partially offset by lower trading volumes in EMEA. Results included lower equity derivatives revenues compared to a strong 2Q18, due to subdued corporate derivatives activity.

Compared to 1Q19, equity sales and trading revenues decreased 6%, primarily due to lower equity derivatives revenues. Equity derivatives revenues decreased from a strong 1Q19, mainly reflecting lower client activity in structured derivatives, partially offset by improved flow derivatives revenues. Results also included solid prime services performance, driven by growth across listed derivatives and prime brokerage. In addition, cash equities revenues increased slightly, reflecting improved trading activity.

Underwriting

In 2Q19, underwriting revenues of CHF 238 million decreased 4% compared to 2Q18, primarily due to lower equity underwriting revenues. Equity underwriting revenues decreased, reflecting lower equity issuance activity particularly in EMEA. Debt underwriting revenues were stable, as higher investment grade revenues were offset by lower leveraged finance issuance activity.

Compared to 1Q19, underwriting revenues increased 69%, primarily reflecting higher debt and equity issuance activity due to improved market conditions as 1Q19 was negatively impacted by the US government shutdown. Debt underwriting revenues increased, reflecting higher leveraged finance results. In addition, equity underwriting revenues increased significantly due to increased market-wide issuance activity.

Provision for credit losses

In 2Q19, we recorded provision for credit losses of CHF 2 million, compared to CHF 12 million in 2Q18 and CHF 11 million in 1Q19.

Total operating expenses

In 2Q19, total operating expenses of CHF 1,194 million decreased 6% compared to 2Q18, reflecting lower general and administrative expenses and the restructuring expenses incurred in 2Q18, partially offset by increased compensation and benefits. General and administrative expenses decreased 12%, reflecting reduced allocated corporate function costs. Compensation and benefits increased 7%, primarily reflecting higher discretionary compensation expenses and deferred compensation expenses from prior-year awards.

Compared to 1Q19, total operating expenses were stable, reflecting stable compensation and benefits and slightly higher general and administrative expenses. Compensation and benefits were stable, as lower discretionary compensation expenses and deferred compensation expenses from prior-year awards were offset by higher deferred fixed cash compensation. General and administrative expenses increased slightly.

Investment Banking & Capital Markets

In 2Q19, we reported income before taxes of CHF 6 million and net revenues of CHF 454 million. Net revenues decreased 30% compared to 2Q18 as challenging market conditions continued to impact client activity. Net revenues increased 28% compared to 1Q19, driven by strong IPO issuance activity.

Results summary

2Q19 results

In 2Q19, we reported income before taxes of CHF 6 million compared to income before taxes of CHF 110 million in 2Q18. The results in 2Q19 reflected lower market activity, which was negatively impacted by uncertainty due to trade negotiations and slowing gross domestic product (GDP) growth. Net revenues of CHF 454 million decreased 30%, driven by lower revenues from advisory and other fees and debt underwriting, partially offset by higher revenues from equity underwriting. Advisory and other fees decreased 40%, reflecting fewer deal closings, and debt underwriting revenues decreased 22%, primarily driven by lower leveraged finance activity and lower derivatives financing revenues. Equity underwriting revenues increased 6%, driven by higher initial public offering (IPO) issuance activity. Total operating expenses of CHF 447 million decreased 14%, driven primarily by lower compensation and benefits and the restructuring expenses incurred in 2Q18.

Compared to 1Q19, net revenues increased 28%, driven by higher revenues across all businesses. Equity underwriting revenues increased 91%, benefitting from strong IPO issuance activity compared to 1Q19, when the US government shutdown impacted market activity. Debt underwriting revenues increased 13% and revenues from advisory and other fees increased 13%. Total operating expenses were stable.

Capital and leverage metrics

As of the end of 2Q19, risk-weighted assets were USD 26.7 billion, an increase of USD 1.9 billion compared to the end of 1Q19. Leverage exposure was USD 43.9 billion, an increase of USD 1.6 billion compared to the end of 1Q19. Increases in both risk-weighted assets and leverage exposure were driven by growth in underwriting commitments and market impacts on the derivatives portfolio.

Corporate Center

In 2Q19, we reported a loss before taxes of CHF 396 million compared to CHF 41 million in 2Q18 and CHF 383 million in 1Q19.

Corporate Center composition

Corporate Center includes parent company operations such as Group financing, expenses for projects sponsored by the Group, including costs associated with the evolution of our legal entity structure to meet developing and future regulatory requirements, and certain other expenses and revenues that have not been allocated to the segments. Corporate Center further includes consolidation and elimination adjustments required to eliminate intercompany revenues and expenses.

Treasury results include the impact of volatility in the valuations of certain central funding transactions such as structured notes issuances and swap transactions. Treasury results also include additional interest charges from transfer pricing to align funding costs to assets held in the Corporate Center and, since 1Q19, legacy funding costs previously reported in the Strategic Resolution Unit.

Beginning in 1Q19 the Strategic Resolution Unit ceased to exist as a separate division of the Group. The residual portfolio remaining as of December 31, 2018 is now managed in an Asset Resolution Unit and is separately presented within our Corporate Center disclosures, including related asset funding costs. Certain activities not linked to the underlying portfolio such as legacy funding costs, legacy litigation provisions, a specific client compliance function and noncontrolling interests without significant economic interest, which were previously part of the Strategic Resolution Unit, are recorded in the Corporate Center and are not reflected in the Asset Resolution Unit. Prior periods have not been restated.

Other revenues primarily include required elimination adjustments associated with trading in own shares, treasury commissions charged to divisions, the cost of certain hedging transactions executed in connection with the Group’s risk-weighted assets and valuation hedging impacts from long-dated legacy deferred compensation and retirement programs mainly relating to former employees.

Compensation and benefits include fair value adjustments on certain deferred compensation plans not allocated to the segments, certain deferred compensation retention awards intended to support the restructuring of the Group, mainly relating to Asia Pacific. Since 3Q18, compensation and benefits have also included fair value adjustments on certain other long-dated legacy deferred compensation and retirement programs mainly relating to former employees.

Results summary

2Q19 results

In 2Q19, we reported a loss before taxes of CHF 396 million compared to CHF 41 million in 2Q18 and CHF 383 million in 1Q19.

Net revenues

In 2Q19, we reported negative net revenues of CHF 184 million compared to net revenues of CHF 24 million in 2Q18 and negative net revenues of CHF 91 million in 1Q19.

Negative treasury results of CHF 208 million in 2Q19 reflected losses of CHF 208 million with respect to structured notes volatility, mainly relating to interest rate movements, and negative revenues of CHF 83 million relating to funding activities, excluding Asset Resolution Unit-related asset funding costs. Negative revenues and losses were partially offset by gains of CHF 59 million relating to hedging volatility, gains of CHF 15 million relating to fair value option volatility on own debt and gains of CHF 11 million on fair-valued money market instruments. In 2Q18, negative treasury results of CHF 5 million reflected negative revenues of CHF 62 million relating to funding activities, partially offset by gains of CHF 36 million with respect to structured notes volatility and gains of CHF 19 million relating to hedging volatility. In 1Q19, negative treasury results of CHF 118 million mainly reflected losses of CHF 84 million with respect to structured notes volatility, negative revenues of CHF 69 million relating to funding activities, excluding Asset Resolution Unit-related asset funding costs, and losses of CHF 15 million on fair-valued money market instruments. Negative revenues and losses were partially offset by gains of CHF 30 million relating to fair value option volatility on own debt and gains of CHF 20 million relating to hedging volatility.

In the Asset Resolution Unit, we reported negative net revenues of CHF 24 million in 2Q19 compared to CHF 35 million in 1Q19. The decrease in negative net revenues was primarily driven by higher revenues from portfolio assets.

Other revenues of CHF 48 million increased CHF 19 million compared to 2Q18, mainly reflecting a positive impact from a specific client compliance function, the impact from the gross recognition of sublease rental income under the new accounting standard for leases and the elimination of losses from trading in own shares compared to the elimination of gains in 2Q18. These increases were partially offset by a loss related to a sale of real estate and increased costs relating to hedging transactions executed in connection with the Group’s risk-weighted assets. Compared to 1Q19, other revenues decreased CHF 14 million, mainly reflecting the loss related to a sale of real estate, a negative valuation impact from long-dated legacy deferred compensation and retirement programs and increased costs relating to hedging transactions executed in connection with the Group’s risk-weighted assets, partially offset by the elimination of losses from trading in own shares compared to the elimination of gains in 1Q19.

Provision for credit losses

In 2Q19, we recorded provision for credit losses of CHF 4 million compared to no provision in 2Q18 and a provision of CHF 6 million in 1Q19. Provision for credit losses in 2Q19 and 1Q19 were related to the Asset Resolution Unit.

Total operating expenses

Total operating expenses of CHF 208 million increased CHF 143 million compared to 2Q18, mainly reflecting increases in general and administrative expenses and compensation and benefits. General and administrative expenses of CHF 89 million increased CHF 119 million, primarily reflecting higher expenses related to the continuing evolution of our legal entity structure, legacy litigation provisions and general and administrative expenses related to the Asset Resolution Unit. Compensation and benefits of CHF 103 million increased CHF 29 million, primarily reflecting compensation and benefits related to the Asset Resolution Unit, partially offset by the impact of corporate function allocations.

Compared to 1Q19,

total operating expenses decreased CHF 78 million, mainly reflecting decreases in general and administrative expenses and compensation and benefits. General and administrative expenses decreased CHF 51 million, primarily reflecting the impact of corporate function allocations and a decrease in legacy litigation provisions. Compensation and benefits decreased CHF 27 million, primarily reflecting lower expenses for long-dated legacy deferred compensation and retirement programs and the impact of corporate function allocations.

44

Capital and leverage metrics

As of the end of 2Q19, we reported risk-weighted assets of CHF 49.1 billion, a decrease of CHF 1.0 billion compared to the end of 1Q19, primarily driven by internal model and parameter updates, mainly reflecting lower operational risk as a result of updated allocation keys. Leverage exposure was CHF 126.4 billion as of the end of 2Q19, a decrease of CHF 3.2 billion compared to the end of 1Q19, primarily related to a decrease in our centrally held balance of HQLA.

Assets under management

Assets under management comprise assets that are placed with us for investment purposes and include discretionary and advisory counterparty assets. Discretionary assets are assets for which the client fully transfers the discretionary power to a Credit Suisse entity with a management mandate. Discretionary assets are reported in the business in which the advice is provided as well as in the business in which the investment decisions take place. Assets managed by the Asset Management business of International Wealth Management for other businesses are reported in each applicable business and eliminated at the Group level. Advisory assets include assets placed with us where the client is provided access to investment advice but retains discretion over investment decisions.

Assets under management and net new assets include assets managed by consolidated entities, joint ventures and strategic participations. Assets from joint ventures and participations are counted in proportion to our share in the respective entity.

Net new assets

Net new assets include individual cash payments, delivery of securities and cash flows resulting from loan increases or repayments.

Interest and dividend income credited to clients and commissions, interest and fees charged for banking services as well as changes in assets under management due to currency and market volatility are not taken into account when calculating net new assets. Any such changes are not directly related to the Group’s success in acquiring assets under management. Similarly structural effects mainly relate to asset inflows and outflows due to acquisition or divestiture, exit from businesses or markets or exits due to new regulatory requirements and are not taken into account when calculating net new assets. The Group reviews relevant policies regarding client assets on a regular basis.

2Q19 results details

As of the end of 2Q19, assets under management of CHF 1,459.9 billion increased CHF 28.6 billion compared to the end of 1Q19. The increase was primarily driven by net new assets of CHF 23.2 billion and favorable market movements, partially offset by unfavorable foreign exchange-related movements.

Net new assets of CHF 23.2 billion mainly reflected inflows across the following businesses. Net new assets of CHF 8.9 billion in the Corporate & Institutional Clients business of Swiss Universal Bank primarily reflected inflows from the pension business. Net new assets of CHF 8.6 billion in the Asset Management business of International Wealth Management mainly reflected inflows from traditional and alternative investments, partially offset by outflows from emerging market joint ventures. Net new assets of CHF 5.5 billion in the Private Banking business of International Wealth Management primarily reflected inflows from emerging markets and Europe. Net new assets of CHF 2.8 billion in the Private Banking business of Asia Pacific primarily reflected inflows from Southeast Asia.

Liquidity and funding management

In 2Q19, we maintained a strong liquidity and funding position. The majority of our unsecured funding was generated from core customer deposits and long-term debt.

Liquidity management

Securities for funding and capital purposes have historically been issued primarily by the Bank, our principal operating subsidiary and a US registrant. In response to regulatory reform, we have focused our issuance strategy on offering long-term debt securities at the Group level. Proceeds from issuances are lent to operating subsidiaries and affiliates on both a senior and subordinated basis, as needed; the latter typically to meet capital requirements and the former as desired by management to support business initiatives and liquidity needs.

Our liquidity and funding profile reflects our strategy and risk appetite and is driven by business activity levels and the overall operating environment. Our internal liquidity risk management framework is subject to review and monitoring by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority FINMA (FINMA), other regulators and rating agencies.

> Refer to “Treasury management” in III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2018 for further information on liquidity and funding management.

Regulatory framework

BIS liquidity framework

The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) established the Basel III international framework for liquidity risk measurement, standards and monitoring. The Basel III framework includes a liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) and a net stable funding ratio (NSFR). Credit Suisse is subject to the Basel III framework, as implemented in Switzerland, as well as Swiss legislation and regulations for systemically important banks (Swiss Requirements).

The LCR addresses liquidity risk over a 30-day period. The LCR aims to ensure that banks have unencumbered HQLA available to meet short-term liquidity needs under a severe stress scenario. The LCR is comprised of two components, the value of HQLA in stressed conditions and the total net cash outflows calculated according to specified scenario parameters. Under the BCBS framework, the minimum required ratio of liquid assets over net cash outflows is 100%.

The NSFR establishes criteria for a minimum amount of stable funding based on the liquidity of a bank’s on- and off-balance sheet activities over a one-year horizon. The NSFR is a complimentary measure to the LCR and is structured to ensure that illiquid assets are funded with an appropriate amount of stable long-term funds. The NSFR is defined as the ratio of available stable funding over the amount of required stable funding and, once implemented by national regulators, should always be at least 100%.

Swiss liquidity requirements

The Swiss Federal Council adopted a liquidity ordinance (Liquidity Ordinance) that implements Basel III liquidity requirements into Swiss law. Under the Liquidity Ordinance, as amended, systemically relevant banks like Credit Suisse are subject to a minimum LCR requirement of 100% at all times and the associated disclosure requirements.

In connection with the implementation of Basel III, regulatory LCR disclosures for the Group and certain subsidiaries are required. Further details on our LCR can be found on our website.

> Refer to credit-suisse.com/regulatorydisclosures for additional information.

FINMA requires us to report the NSFR to FINMA on a monthly basis during an observation period that began in 2012. The reporting instructions are generally aligned with the final BCBS NSFR requirements. The Federal Council has decided to postpone the introduction of the NSFR as a minimum standard, which was originally planned for January 1, 2018, and will reconsider this matter at the end of 2019.

Our liquidity principles and our liquidity risk management framework as agreed with FINMA are in line with the Basel III liquidity framework.

> Refer to “Treasury management” in III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2018 for further information on the BIS liquidity framework and Swiss liquidity requirements.

Liquidity risk management

Our liquidity and funding policy is designed to ensure that funding is available to meet all obligations in times of stress, whether caused by market events or issues specific to Credit Suisse. We achieve this through a conservative asset/liability management strategy aimed at maintaining long-term funding, including stable deposits, in excess of illiquid assets. To address short-term liquidity stress, we maintain a liquidity pool that covers unexpected outflows in the event of severe market and idiosyncratic stress.

> Refer to “Treasury management” in III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2018 for further information on our approach to liquidity risk management, governance and contingency planning.

Liquidity metrics

Liquidity pool

Treasury manages a sizeable portfolio of liquid assets comprised of cash held at central banks and securities. The liquidity pool may be used to meet the liquidity requirements of our operating companies.

We centrally manage this liquidity pool and hold it at our main operating entities. Holding securities in these entities ensures that we can make liquidity and funding available to local entities in need without delay.

> Refer to “Treasury management” in III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2018 for further information on our liquidity pool.

As of the end of 2Q19, our liquidity pool managed by Treasury and the global liquidity group had an HQLA value of CHF 162.0 billion. The liquidity pool consisted of CHF 78.7 billion of cash held at major central banks, primarily the SNB, the Fed and the ECB, and CHF 83.3 billion market value of securities issued by governments and government agencies, primarily from the US, UK and France.

In addition to the liquidity portfolio, there is also a portfolio of unencumbered liquid assets managed by the global liquidity group and by various businesses, primarily in the Global Markets and Asia Pacific divisions. These assets generally include high-grade bonds and highly liquid equity securities that form part of major indices. In coordination with the businesses and the global liquidity group, Treasury can access these assets to generate liquidity if required.

As of the end of 2Q19, the portfolio of liquid assets that is not managed by Treasury and the global liquidity group had a market value of CHF 28.6 billion, consisting of CHF 10.1 billion of high-grade bonds and CHF 18.5 billion of highly liquid equity securities. Under our internal model, an average stress-level haircut of 16% is applied to these assets. The haircuts applied to these portfolios reflect our assessment of overall market risk at the time of measurement, potential monetization capacity taking into account increased haircuts, market volatility and the quality of the relevant securities.

Liquidity Coverage Ratio

Our calculation methodology for the LCR is prescribed by FINMA and uses a three-month average that is measured using daily calculations during the quarter. The FINMA calculation of HQLA takes into account a cancellation mechanism (post-cancellation view) and is therefore not directly comparable to the assets presented in the financial statements that could potentially be monetized under a severe stress scenario. The cancellation mechanism effectively excludes the impact of certain secured financing transactions from available HQLA and simultaneously adjusts the level of net cash outflows calculated. Application of the cancellation mechanism adjusts both the numerator and denominator of the LCR calculation, meaning that the impact is mostly neutral on the LCR itself.

Our HQLA measurement methodology excludes potentially eligible HQLA available for use by entities of the Group in certain jurisdictions that may not be readily accessible for use by the Group as a whole. These HQLA eligible amounts may be restricted for reasons such as local regulatory requirements, including large exposure requirements, or other binding constraints that could limit the transferability to other Group entities in other jurisdictions.

On this basis, the level of our LCR was 193% as of the end of 2Q19, an increase from 191% as of the end of 1Q19, representing an average HQLA of CHF 161.3 billion and average net cash outflows of CHF 83.4 billion. The ratio reflects a conservative liquidity position, including ensuring that the Group’s branches and subsidiaries meet applicable local liquidity requirements.

The increase in the LCR in 2Q19 primarily reflected a slight decrease in net cash outflows, while the level of HQLA was stable compared to the prior quarter. The decrease in net cash outflows was primarily driven by reductions in additional requirements, mainly related to lower cash outflows from maturing secured debt issuances and collateral requirements, and unsecured wholesale funding decreases in non-operational deposits, which were partially offset by an increase in net cash outflows associated with unsecured wholesale funding in unsecured debt as well as secured wholesale funding and secured lending activities.

The spot balance of HQLA held on the last business day of 2Q19 was CHF 152.8 billion, which was CHF 2.2 billion lower than the spot balance of HQLA held on the last business day of 1Q19.

Funding management

Funding sources

We fund our balance sheet primarily through core customer deposits, long-term debt, including structured notes, and shareholders’ equity. We monitor the funding sources, including their concentrations against certain limits, according to their counterparty, currency, tenor, geography and maturity, and whether they are secured or unsecured.

A substantial portion of our balance sheet is match funded and requires no unsecured funding. Match funded balance sheet items consist of assets and liabilities with close to equal liquidity durations and values so that the liquidity and funding generated or required by the positions are substantially equivalent.

Cash and due from banks and reverse repurchase agreements are highly liquid. A significant part of our assets, principally unencumbered trading assets that support the securities business, is comprised of securities inventories and collateralized receivables that fluctuate and are generally liquid. These liquid assets are available to settle short-term liabilities.

Loans, which comprise the largest component of our illiquid assets, are funded by our core customer deposits, with an excess coverage of 14% as of the end of 2Q19, compared to 16% as of the end of 1Q19, reflecting a small decrease in deposits. Loans were stable compared to 1Q19. We fund other illiquid assets, including real estate, private equity and other long-term investments as well as the haircut for the illiquid portion of securities, with long-term debt and equity, in which we try to maintain a substantial funding buffer.

Our core customer deposits totaled CHF 334 billion as of the end of 2Q19, compared to CHF 340 billion as of the end of 1Q19, reflecting a stable customer deposit base in the private banking and corporate & institutional clients businesses in 2Q19. Core customer deposits are from clients with whom we have a broad and longstanding relationship. Core customer deposits exclude deposits from banks and certificates of deposit. We place a priority on maintaining and growing customer deposits, as they have proven to be a stable and resilient source of funding even in difficult market conditions. Our core customer deposit funding is supplemented by the issuance of long-term debt.

Debt issuances and redemptions

As of the end of 2Q19, we had outstanding long-term debt of CHF 158.0 billion, which included senior and subordinated instruments. We had CHF 51.1 billion and CHF 15.0 billion of structured notes and covered bonds outstanding, respectively, as of the end of 2Q19 compared to CHF 51.7 billion and CHF 15.1 billion, respectively, as of the end of 1Q19.

> Refer to “Issuances and redemptions” in Capital management for information on capital issuances, including buffer and progressive capital notes.

Short-term borrowings decreased slightly to CHF 26.1 billion as of the end of 2Q19, compared to CHF 26.6 billion as of the end of 1Q19, mainly related to foreign exchange-related movements.

The following table provides information on long-term debt issuances, maturities and redemptions in 2Q19, excluding structured notes.

Credit ratings

The maximum impact of a simultaneous one, two or three-notch downgrade by all three major rating agencies in the Bank’s long-term debt ratings would result in additional collateral requirements or assumed termination payments under certain derivative instruments of CHF 0.2 billion, CHF 0.4 billion and CHF 1.2 billion, respectively, as of the end of 2Q19, and would not be material to our liquidity and funding planning. If the downgrade does not involve all three rating agencies, the impact may be smaller.

Capital management

As of the end of 2Q19, our BIS CET1 ratio was 12.5% and our BIS tier 1 leverage ratio was 5.3%.

Regulatory framework

Credit Suisse is subject to the Basel III framework, as implemented in Switzerland, as well as Swiss legislation and regulations for systemically important banks (Swiss Requirements), which include capital, liquidity, leverage and large exposure requirements and rules for emergency plans designed to maintain systemically relevant functions in the event of threatened insolvency.

References to phase-in and look-through included herein refer to Basel III capital requirements and Swiss Requirements. Phase-in reflects that, for the years 2013 – 2022, there is a phase-out of certain capital instruments. Look-through assumes the phase-out of certain capital instruments. Our capital metrics fluctuate during any reporting period in the ordinary course of business.

> Refer to “Capital management” in III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2018 for further information.

BIS requirements

The BCBS, the standard setting committee within the BIS, issued the Basel III framework, with higher minimum capital requirements and conservation and countercyclical buffers, revised risk-based capital measures, a leverage ratio and liquidity standards. The framework was designed to strengthen the resilience of the banking sector and requires banks to hold more capital, mainly in the form of common equity. The new capital standards became fully effective on January 1, 2019 for those countries that have adopted Basel III.

> Refer to “BIS requirements” in III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet – Capital management in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2018 for a detailed discussion of the BIS requirements.

Swiss Requirements

The legislation implementing the Basel III framework in Switzerland in respect of capital requirements for systemically relevant banks, including Credit Suisse, goes beyond the Basel III minimum standards for systemically relevant banks.

Under the Capital Adequacy Ordinance, Swiss banks classified as systemically important banks operating internationally, such as Credit Suisse, are subject to two different minimum requirements for loss-absorbing capacity: global systemically important banks (G-SIBs) must hold sufficient capital that absorbs losses to ensure continuity of service (going concern requirement) and they must issue sufficient debt instruments to fund an orderly resolution without recourse to public resources (gone concern requirement).

Going concern capital and gone concern capital together form our total loss-absorbing capacity (TLAC). The going concern and gone concern requirements are generally aligned with the FSB’s total loss-absorbing capacity standard.

54

Both the going concern and the gone concern requirements are subject to a phase-in, with gradually increasing requirements as well as grandfathering provisions for certain outstanding instruments and have to be fully applied by January 1, 2020.

Additionally, there are FINMA decrees that apply to Credit Suisse, as a systemically important bank operating internationally, including capital adequacy requirements as well as liquidity and risk diversification requirements.

> Refer to “Swiss Requirements” in III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet – Capital management in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2018 for a detailed discussion of the Swiss Requirements.

Other regulatory disclosures

In connection with the implementation of Basel III, certain regulatory disclosures for the Group and certain of its subsidiaries are required. The Group’s Pillar 3 disclosure, regulatory disclosures, additional information on capital instruments, including the main features and terms and conditions of regulatory capital instruments and total loss-absorbing capacity-eligible instruments that form part of the eligible capital base and total loss-absorbing capacity resources, G-SIB financial indicators, reconciliation requirements, leverage ratios and certain liquidity disclosures as well as regulatory disclosures for subsidiaries can be found on our website.

Regulatory developments

In June 2019, the BCBS released a revised framework regarding the treatment of client-cleared derivatives for purposes of the leverage ratio and a revision of the leverage ratio disclosure requirements as part of the Pillar 3 framework. The revision regarding the treatment of client-cleared derivatives aims to align the leverage ratio measurement of client-cleared derivatives with the standardized approach to measuring counterparty credit risk exposures as applied for risk-based capital requirements. Additionally, the revised leverage ratio disclosure requirements set out additional obligations for banks to disclose their leverage ratios based on quarter-end and on daily average values of securities financing transactions. Both revisions will be applicable to the version of the leverage ratio standard that will enter into effect on January 1, 2022.

Higher Trigger Capital Amount

The capital ratio write-down triggers for certain of our outstanding capital instruments take into account the fact that other outstanding capital instruments that contain relatively higher capital ratios as part of their trigger feature are expected to convert into equity or be written down prior to the write-down of such capital instruments. The amount of additional capital that is expected to be contributed by such conversion into equity or write-down is referred to as the Higher Trigger Capital Amount.

With respect to the capital instruments that specify a trigger event if the CET1 ratio were to fall below 5.125%, the Higher Trigger Capital Amount was CHF 6.3 billion and the Higher Trigger Capital Ratio (i.e., the ratio of the Higher Trigger Capital Amount to the aggregate of all risk-weighted assets (RWA) of the Group) was 2.2%, both as of the end of 2Q19.

With respect to the capital instruments that specify a trigger event if the CET1 ratio were to fall below 5%, the Higher Trigger Capital Amount was CHF 11.0 billion and the Higher Trigger Capital Ratio was 3.8%, both as of the end of 2Q19.

Risk-weighted assets

Our balance sheet positions and off-balance sheet exposures translate into RWA, which are categorized as credit, market and operational RWA. When assessing RWA, it is not the nominal size, but rather the nature (including risk mitigation such as collateral or hedges) of the balance sheet positions or off-balance sheet exposures that determines the RWA.

> Refer to “Risk-weighted assets” in III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet – Capital management in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2018 for a detailed discussion of RWA.

For capital purposes, FINMA, in line with BIS requirements, uses a multiplier to impose an increase in market risk capital for every regulatory value-at-risk (VaR) backtesting exception above four in the prior rolling 12-month period. In 2Q19, our market risk capital multiplier remained at FINMA and BIS minimum levels and we did not experience an increase in market risk capital.

> Refer to “Market risk review” in Risk management for further information.

RWA were CHF 290.8 billion as of the end of 2Q19, stable compared to the end of 1Q19, mainly reflecting increases from external model and parameter updates and movement in risk levels, both mainly in credit risk. These increases were offset by a foreign exchange impact.

Excluding the foreign exchange impact, the increase in credit risk was primarily driven by external model and parameter updates and increases related to movements in risk levels attributable to book size, partially offset by a decrease in risk levels attributable to book quality. External model and parameter updates mainly reflected a FINMA-mandated buffer related to the ship finance rating model in International Wealth Management, the impact of the de-recognition of certain hedging transactions in Investment Banking & Capital Markets, Corporate Center and Global Markets and an additional change from a model approach to a standardized approach for certain loans across all divisions. It also included an additional phase-in of multipliers on income producing real estate (IPRE) and non-IPRE exposures, both within Swiss Universal Bank. The increase in risk levels attributable to book size was mainly driven by increases in lending risk exposures in Global Markets, Corporate Center, Swiss Universal Bank and Investment Banking & Capital Markets, and increases in derivatives exposures, mainly in Investment Banking & Capital Markets. These increases were partially offset by decreases in banking book securitization exposures in Swiss Universal Bank and Global Markets. The decrease in risk levels attributable to book quality was mainly due to a decrease in lending risk in International Wealth Management and Investment Banking & Capital Markets.

Excluding the foreign exchange impact, the decrease in market risk was primarily driven by external model and parameter updates and decreases related to movements in risk levels. External model and parameter updates mainly reflected a change in approach for derivative positions from trading book securitization to banking book securitization in the Corporate Center and Investment Banking & Capital Markets. The decreases related to movements in risk levels were primarily in International Wealth Management, Swiss Universal Bank and Corporate Center.

Operational risk was stable. Internal model and parameter updates reflected updated operational risk allocation keys, resulting in lower operational RWA in the Corporate Center and Global Markets and higher operational RWA in Swiss Universal Bank, International Wealth Management and Asia Pacific.

Leverage metrics

Credit Suisse has adopted the BIS leverage ratio framework, as issued by the BCBS and implemented in Switzerland by FINMA. Under the BIS framework, the leverage ratio measures tier 1 capital against the end-of-period exposure. As used herein, leverage exposure consists of period-end balance sheet assets and prescribed regulatory adjustments.

The leverage exposure was CHF 897.9 billion as of the end of 2Q19, stable compared to the end of 1Q19, mainly reflecting a decrease in the Group’s balance sheet assets, primarily reflecting a negative foreign exchange translation impact, offset by an increase from securities financing transactions.

> Refer to “Balance sheet and off-balance sheet” for further information on the reduction in the Group’s consolidated balance sheet.

Shareholders’ equity

Our total shareholders’ equity was CHF 43.7 billion as of the end of 2Q19 compared to CHF 43.8 billion as of the end of 1Q19. Total shareholders’ equity was negatively impacted by dividends paid, foreign exchange-related movements on cumulative translation adjustments, transactions relating to the settlement of share-based compensation awards, losses on fair value elected liabilities relating to credit risk and the repurchase of shares under the share buyback program, partially offset by net income attributable to shareholders, net gains from the re-measurement of the Group’s defined benefit pension plan assets and liabilities, relating to the introduction of the new Swiss defined contribution plan, and an increase in the share-based compensation obligation.

For 2019, the Board of Directors of the Group approved a share buyback program of Group ordinary shares of up to CHF 1.5 billion. We commenced the 2019 share buyback program on January 14, 2019, and in 2Q19 we repurchased 17.0 million ordinary shares totaling CHF 225 million.

Risk management

In 2Q19, gross impaired loans of CHF 2.0 billion decreased to 0.7% of our gross loan portfolio of CHF 294.8 billion. Our economic risk capital increased 2% to CHF 29.7 billion and average risk management VaR decreased 7% to USD 25 million.

Overview and risk-related developments

Prudent risk taking in line with our strategic priorities is fundamental to our business. The primary objectives of risk management are to protect our financial strength and reputation, while ensuring that capital is well deployed to support business growth and activities. Our risk management framework is based on transparency, management accountability and independent oversight.

> Refer to “Key risk developments”, “Risk management oversight”, “Risk appetite framework” and “Risk coverage and management” in III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet – Risk management in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2018 for further information and additional details of our current risk management framework and activities, including definitions of certain terms and relevant metrics.

Key risk developments

Global economy

Uncertainty over the global economic outlook remained in 2Q19 due to continued weak world trade volumes, slower GDP growth across major economies and the perceived late stage of the business and credit cycle, particularly in the US. However, several central banks provided some relief for the markets by either suggesting future monetary policy stimulus was likely or by cutting interest rates. We have designed a suite of stress scenarios related to a possible recession in the US and in Europe or severe economic weakness in China. We are continuing to closely monitor global economic developments and the monetary policy decisions of major central banks as well as associated risks in our portfolio.

Trade tensions

The risk of global trade tensions remains a major concern of global investors. The escalation of tensions between the US and China continued in 2Q19 with both countries implementing additional tariffs and with other aspects of the dispute such as advanced technology becoming more pronounced. Furthermore, tensions increased between the US and other countries. The longer the escalations continue, the more corporations could require potentially costly contingency plans and more diversified supply chains. We have assessed the Group’s vulnerabilities under a number of trade-tension-specific stress scenarios, calibrated to various severities, and continue to closely monitor the situation.

Withdrawal of the UK from the EU

Uncertainty over the outcome of the negotiations surrounding the anticipated withdrawal of the UK from the EU is expected to persist until at least October 31, 2019. The risk of a potentially disruptive withdrawal of the UK from the EU without an agreement in place is widely perceived to have increased. That uncertainty had a significant negative impact on the UK economy in 2Q19. We are continuing to closely monitor this situation and its potential impact on the Group.

US-Iran tensions

Tensions between the US and Iran have escalated since May. The US is attempting to force a renegotiation of the 2015 nuclear deal while Iran is threatening to leave that deal entirely and to expand its nuclear programs. Financial markets in 2Q19 were impacted due to the concern that further escalation and retaliation would severely disrupt oil and gas shipments from the Persian Gulf region with potentially significant impacts on the world economy. We are monitoring potential portfolio vulnerabilities, including the potential impact on our ship finance portfolio.

Economic risk capital review

Economic risk capital is used as a consistent and comprehensive tool for capital management, limit monitoring and performance management. Economic risk capital is a Group-wide risk management tool for measuring and reporting the combined impact from quantifiable risks such as market, credit, operational, pension and expense risks, each of which has an impact on our capital position.

Economic risk capital measures risks in terms of economic realities rather than regulatory or accounting rules and estimates the amount of capital needed to remain solvent and in business under extreme market, business and operating conditions over the period of one year, given our target financial strength (our long-term credit rating). Economic risk capital is set to a level needed to absorb unexpected losses at a confidence level of 99.97%. Our economic risk capital model is a set of methodologies used for measuring quantifiable risks associated with our business activities on a consistent basis. It is calculated separately for position risk (reflecting our exposure to market and credit risks), operational risk and other risks.

We regularly review and update our economic capital methodology in order to ensure that the model remains relevant as markets and business strategies evolve. In the event of material methodology changes and dataset and model parameter updates, prior-period balances are restated in order to show meaningful trends. In 2Q19, there were no material changes to our economic risk capital methodology.

2 Included primarily operational risk and expense risk.

Economic risk capital trends

Compared to the end of 1Q19, our economic risk capital increased 2% to CHF 29.7 billion, due to an increase in position risk, partially offset by a decrease in other risks. The increase in position risk was primarily driven by higher non-traded credit spread risk due to a reduced benefit from certain CVA hedges at the Group level and increased loan commitments in the US and in Europe in Global Markets and in Europe in Swiss Universal Bank. The decrease in other risks was mainly due to lower pension risk driven by a periodic update to assumptions used by our pension custodian for the valuation of the funding surplus which impacted the UK pension plan in Global Markets and International Wealth Management, as well as an increased benefit from deferred share-based compensation awards across all business divisions. These decreases were partially offset by increased expense risk, primarily driven by a reduction in net interest income in our trading businesses across divisions. Operational risk was stable.

As part of our overall risk management, we hold a portfolio of hedges. Hedges are impacted by market movements, similar to other trading securities, and may result in gains or losses which offset losses or gains on the portfolios they were designated to hedge. Due to the varying nature and structure of hedges, these gains or losses may not wholly offset the losses or gains on the portfolios.

Market risk review

Market risk is the risk of financial loss arising from movements in market risk factors. Market risks arise from both our trading and non-trading business activities. The classification of assets and liabilities into trading book and banking book portfolios determines the approach for analyzing our market risk exposure. Our principal market risk measurement for the trading book is VaR. In addition, our market risk exposures are reflected in scenario analysis, as included in our stress testing framework, position risk, as included in our economic risk capital, and sensitivity analysis.

For the purpose of this disclosure, market risk in the trading book is mainly measured using VaR and market risk in our banking book is mainly measured using sensitivity analysis on related market factors.

> Refer to “Market risk” in III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet – Risk management – Risk coverage and management in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2018 for further information on market risk including our VaR methodology.

Trading book

Market risks from our trading book relate to our trading activities, primarily in Global Markets (which includes International Trading Solutions) and Asia Pacific. We are active globally in the principal trading markets, using a wide range of trading and hedging products, including derivatives and structured products. Structured products are customized transactions often using combinations of derivatives and are executed to meet specific client or internal needs. As a result of our broad participation in products and markets, our trading strategies are correspondingly diverse and exposures are generally spread across a range of risks and locations.

VaR is a risk measure which quantifies the potential loss on a given portfolio of financial instruments over a certain holding period and that is expected to occur at a certain confidence level. VaR is an important tool in risk management and is used for measuring quantifiable risks from our activities exposed to market risk on a daily basis. In addition, VaR is one of the main risk measures for limit monitoring, financial reporting, calculation of regulatory capital and regulatory backtesting.

We regularly review our VaR model to ensure that it remains appropriate given evolving market conditions and the composition of our trading portfolio. In 2Q19, there were no material changes to our VaR methodology.

70

We have approval from FINMA, as well as from other regulators for our subsidiaries, to use our regulatory VaR model in the calculation of market risk capital requirements. Ongoing enhancements to our VaR methodology are subject to regulatory approval or notification depending on their materiality, and the model is subject to regular reviews by regulators and the Group’s independent model risk management function.

Information required under Pillar 3 of the Basel framework related to risk is available on our website.

> Refer to “credit-suisse.com/regulatorydisclosures” for further information.

The tables entitled “One-day, 98% trading book risk management VaR” and “Average one-day, 98% trading book risk management VaR by division” show our trading-related market risk exposure, as measured by one-day, 98% risk management VaR in Swiss francs and US dollars. As we measure trading book VaR for internal risk management purposes using the US dollar as the base currency, the VaR figures were translated into Swiss francs using daily foreign exchange translation rates. VaR estimates are computed separately for each risk type and for the whole portfolio using the historical simulation methodology. The different risk types are grouped into five categories including interest rate, credit spread, foreign exchange, commodity and equity.

2 Difference between the sum of the standalone VaR for each division and the VaR for the Group.

We measure VaR in US dollars, as the majority of our trading activities are conducted in US dollars.

Period-end risk management VaR of USD 27 million as of the end of 2Q19 increased 13% compared to the end of 1Q19, primarily in Global Markets, mainly driven by market volatility as US rates rallied and yields declined in 2Q19. Average risk management VaR of USD 25 million in 2Q19 decreased 7% compared to 1Q19.

The chart entitled “Daily risk management VaR” shows the aggregated market risk in our trading book on a consolidated basis.

The histogram entitled “Actual daily trading revenues” compares the actual daily trading revenues for 2Q19 with those for 1Q19 and 4Q18. The dispersion of trading revenues indicates the day-to-day volatility in our trading activities. In 2Q19, we had one trading loss day, compared to no trading loss days in 1Q19 and seven trading loss days in 4Q18.

VaR backtesting

Backtesting is one of the techniques used to assess the accuracy and performance of the VaR model used by the Group for risk management and regulatory capital purposes and serves to highlight areas of potential enhancements. Backtesting is used by regulators to assess the adequacy of regulatory capital held by the Group, calculated using VaR. Backtesting involves comparing the results produced by the VaR model with the hypothetical trading revenues on the trading book. A backtesting exception occurs when a hypothetical trading loss exceeds the daily VaR estimate.

For capital purposes and in line with BIS requirements, FINMA increases the capital multiplier for every regulatory VaR backtesting exception above four in the prior rolling 12-month period, resulting in an incremental market risk capital requirement for the Group. For the rolling 12-month period through the end of 2Q19, we had one backtesting exception in our regulatory VaR model, remaining in the regulatory “green zone”.

> Refer to “Market risk” in III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet – Risk management – Risk coverage and management in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2018 for further information on VaR backtesting.

> Refer to “Risk-weighted assets” in Capital management for further information on the use of our regulatory VaR model in the calculation of trading book market risk capital requirements.

Banking book

Market risks from our banking book primarily relate to asset and liability mismatch exposures, equity participations and investments in bonds and money market instruments. Our businesses and the treasury function have non-trading portfolios that carry market risks, mainly related to changes in interest rates but also to changes in foreign exchange rates, equity prices and, to a lesser extent, commodity prices.

Interest rate risk on banking book positions is measured by estimating the impact resulting from a one basis point parallel increase in yield curves on the present value of interest rate-sensitive banking book positions. This is measured on the Group’s entire banking book. As of the end of 2Q19, the interest rate sensitivity of a one basis point parallel increase in yield curves was negative CHF 2.0 million, compared to negative CHF 2.7 million as of the end of 1Q19. The change reflected our regular management of banking book activities.

Credit risk review

All transactions that are exposed to potential losses arising as a result of a borrower or counterparty failing to meet its financial obligations or as a result of deterioration in the credit quality of the borrower or counterparty are subject to credit risk exposure measurement and management. Credit risk arises from the execution of our business strategy in the divisions and reflects exposures directly held in the form of lending products (including loans and credit guarantees) or derivatives, shorter-term exposures such as underwriting commitments, and settlement risk related to the exchange of cash or securities outside of typical delivery versus payment structures.

> Refer to “Credit risk” in III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet – Risk management – Risk coverage and management in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2018 for further information on credit risk.

> Refer to “Note 18 – Loans, allowance for loan losses and credit quality” and “Note 31 – Financial instruments” in III – Condensed consolidated financial statements – unaudited for further information on loans and impaired loans and counterparty credit risk, respectively.

Loans

Compared to the end of 1Q19, gross loans increased CHF 0.7 billion to CHF 294.8 billion as of the end of 2Q19, mainly driven by higher loans collateralized by securities, higher loans to the real estate sector and increased consumer finance loans, partially offset by decreased loans to financial institutions, lower commercial and industrial loans and the US dollar translation impact. The net increase of CHF 1.2 billion in loans collateralized by securities mainly reflected increases in Asia Pacific and International Wealth Management, partially offset by a decrease in Swiss Universal Bank. Loans to the real estate sector increased CHF 1.0 billion, primarily reflecting increases in Swiss Universal Bank and Asia Pacific. The net increase of CHF 0.4 billion in consumer finance loans was driven by an increase in Swiss Universal Bank. The net decrease of CHF 1.6 billion in loans to financial institutions mainly reflected a decrease in Global Markets. Commercial and industrial loans decreased CHF 0.6 billion, primarily due to decreases in Asia Pacific, Global Markets and Investment Banking & Capital Markets, partially offset by an increase in International Wealth Management.

On a divisional level, increases in gross loans of CHF 1.3 billion in Swiss Universal Bank, CHF 0.9 billion in International Wealth Management and CHF 0.5 billion in Asia Pacific were partially offset by decreases of CHF 1.7 billion in Global Markets and CHF 0.2 billion in Investment Banking & Capital Markets. Corporate Center gross loans were stable.

Impaired loans

Compared to the end of 1Q19, gross impaired loans decreased CHF 113 million to CHF 2.0 billion as of the end of 2Q19, mainly reflecting lower non-performing loans in Investment Banking & Capital Markets, Global Markets and Asia Pacific, decreases in potential problem loans in International Wealth Management and Swiss Universal Bank and lower non-interest-earning loans in Swiss Universal Bank. These decreases were partially offset by higher non-performing loans in International Wealth Management.

In Investment Banking & Capital Markets and Global Markets, gross impaired loans decreased CHF 35 million and CHF 25 million, respectively, mainly driven by a write-off in the supermarket sector in Europe. In Swiss Universal Bank, gross impaired loans decreased CHF 32 million, mainly driven by write-offs in the large Swiss corporates and in the small and medium-sized enterprises business areas. In Asia Pacific, gross impaired loans decreased CHF 19 million, mainly reflecting the repayment of a mortgage in Singapore and the write-off of two lombard loans in Hong Kong. In International Wealth Management and the Corporate Center, impaired loans were stable.

Allowance for loan losses

Compared to the end of 1Q19, the allowance for loan losses decreased CHF 84 million to CHF 882 million as of the end of 2Q19, primarily due to decreases in Swiss Universal Bank, Investment Banking & Capital Markets, Global Markets and Asia Pacific, partially offset by an increase in International Wealth Management. In Swiss Universal Bank, the decrease in allowance for loan losses of CHF 40 million mainly reflected the write-offs in the large Swiss corporates and in the small and medium-sized enterprises business areas. In Investment Banking & Capital Markets and Global Markets, the decreases in allowance for loan losses of CHF 31 million and CHF 19 million, respectively, were mainly driven by the write-off in the supermarket sector in Europe. In Asia Pacific, the decrease in allowance for loan losses of CHF 8 million mainly reflected the write-off of the two lombard loans in Hong Kong. In International Wealth Management, the increase in allowance for loan losses of CHF 10 million was mainly driven by new provisions in ship finance and European mortgages.

Balance sheet and off-balance sheet

As of the end of 2Q19, total assets of CHF 784.2 billion decreased 1% and total liabilities of CHF 740.3 billion decreased 1% compared to the end of 1Q19, primarily reflecting a foreign exchange translation impact.

The majority of our transactions are recorded on our balance sheet. However, we also enter into transactions that give rise to both on and off-balance sheet exposure.

Balance sheet

Total assets were CHF 784.2 billion as of the end of 2Q19, a decrease of CHF 9.4 billion, or 1%, from the end of 1Q19, reflecting the foreign exchange translation impact, partially offset by higher operating activities. Excluding the foreign exchange translation impact, total assets increased CHF 0.7 billion.

Compared to the end of 1Q19, central bank funds sold, securities purchased under resale agreements and securities borrowing transactions decreased CHF 2.7 billion, or 2%, primarily due to the foreign exchange translation impact and a decrease in cash collateral. Cash and due from banks decreased CHF 2.3 billion, or 2%, mainly driven by lower cash positions at the Fed and the BoJ, partially offset by higher cash positions at the SNB. Brokerage receivables decreased CHF 0.7 billion, or 2%, primarily due to the foreign exchange translation impact and a decrease in open trades with customers, partially offset by increases in margin lending and open trades with banks. Trading assets and net loans were stable. All other assets decreased CHF 5.3 billion, or 5%, mainly reflecting decreases of CHF 4.1 billion, or 8%, in securities received as collateral and CHF 0.9 billion, or 2%, in other assets.

Off-balance sheet

We enter into off-balance sheet arrangements in the normal course of business. Off-balance sheet arrangements are transactions or other contractual arrangements with, or for the benefit of, an entity that is not consolidated. These transactions include derivative instruments, guarantees and similar arrangements, retained or contingent interests in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity in connection with our involvement with special purpose entities (SPEs), and obligations and liabilities (including contingent obligations and liabilities) under variable interests in unconsolidated entities that provide financing, liquidity, credit and other support.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Report of Independent Registered PublicAccountingFirmTo the shareholders and Board of Directors of Credit Suisse Group AG, ZurichResults of Review of Interim Financial InformationWe have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of Credit Suisse Group AG and subsidiaries (“the Group”) as of June 30, 2019, the related condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, and changes in equity for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the related condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated interim financial information). Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated interim financial information for it to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of the Group as of December 31, 2018, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated March 22, 2019, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.Basis for Review ResultsThis consolidated interim financial information is the responsibility of the Group’s management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Group in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of consolidated interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinionKPMG AGNicholas EdmondsShaun KendriganLicensed Audit ExpertLicensed Audit ExpertZurich, SwitzerlandJuly 31, 2019

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements – unaudited

1 Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Credit Suisse Group AG (the Group) are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the US (US GAAP) and are stated in Swiss francs (CHF). These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2018 included in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2018.

> Refer to “Note 1 – Summary of significant accounting policies” in VI – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2018 for a description of the Group’s significant accounting policies.

Certain financial information, which is normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP, but not required for interim reporting purposes, has been condensed or omitted. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period’s consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period’s presentation. These condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods presented. The 1Q19 consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, the 1Q19 consolidated balance sheets and the 2Q19, 1Q19 and 2Q18 consolidated statements of changes in equity have been added for the convenience of the reader and are not a required presentation under US GAAP. The results of operations for interim periods are not indicative of results for the entire year.

In preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated balance sheets and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2 Recently issued accounting standards

Recently adopted accounting standards

The following provides the most relevant recently adopted accounting standards.

> Refer to “Note 2 – Recently issued accounting standards” in VI – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2018 for a description of accounting standards adopted in 2018.

ASC Topic 220 – Income Statements – Reporting Comprehensive Income

In January 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2018-02, “Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” (ASU 2018-02), an update to Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 220 – Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income. The amendments in ASU 2018-02 allowed a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) to retained earnings for the stranded tax effects resulting from the US Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. ASU 2018-02 was effective for annual reporting periods and interim periods within those periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption was permitted. The adoption of ASU 2018-02 on January 1, 2019 resulted in a net increase in retained earnings of CHF  64 million as a result of the reclassification from AOCI to retained earnings, which was the result of the re-measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities associated with the change in tax rates.

ASC Topic 350 – Intangibles – Goodwill and Other

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, “Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract” (ASU 2018-15), an update to ASC Subtopic 350-40 – Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software. The amendments in ASU 2018-15 align the requirements for capitalizing costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. ASU 2018-15 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods and can be applied either retrospectively or prospectively. Early adoption, including adoption in an interim period, was permitted. The Group elected to early adopt ASU 2018-15 prospectively on January 1, 2019. The adoption of ASU 2018-15 did not have a material impact on the Group’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ASC Topic 815 – Derivatives and Hedging

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, “Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities” (ASU 2017-12), an update to ASC Topic 815 – Derivatives and Hedging. ASU 2017-12 made changes to the hedge accounting model intended to facilitate financial reporting that more closely reflected an entity’s risk management activities and simplified application of hedge accounting. The amendments in ASU 2017-12 provided more hedging strategies that will be eligible for hedge accounting, eased the documentation and effectiveness assessment requirements and resulted in changes to the presentation and disclosure requirements of hedge accounting activities. ASU 2017-12 was effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and for the interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption, including adoption in an interim period, was permitted. The adoption of ASU 2017-12 on

93

January 1, 2019 did not have a material impact on the Group’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-16, “Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes” (ASU 2018-16), an update to ASC Topic 815 – Derivatives and Hedging. ASU 2018-16 permitted the use of the OIS rate based on the SOFR as a US benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes and was effective for the Group on January 1, 2019. The adoption of ASU 2018-16 on January 1, 2019 did not impact the Group’s existing hedges.

ASC Topic 820 – Fair Value Measurement

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” (ASU 2018-13), an update to ASC Topic 820 – Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in ASU 2018-13 remove, modify and add certain disclosure requirements in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2018-13 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and for the interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted, including in an interim period, for any eliminated or modified disclosure requirements. The Group early adopted the provisions for removing and modifying certain disclosures upon issuance of ASU 2018-13. As these amendments relate to disclosures, the adoption did not have an impact on the Group’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Group is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the remaining amendments in ASU 2018-13.

ASC Topic 842 – Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (ASU 2016-02), creating ASC Topic 842 – Leases and superseding ASC Topic 840 – Leases. ASU 2016-02 set out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. ASU 2016-02 also included disclosure requirements to provide more information about the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. Lessor accounting was substantially unchanged compared to the previous accounting guidance. Under the previous lessee accounting model the Group is required to distinguish between finance leases, which are recognized on the balance sheet, and operating leases, which are not. ASU 2016-02 required lessees to present a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability on the balance sheet irrespective of the lease classification.

The Group adopted ASU 2016-02 and its subsequent amendments on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach, with a transition adjustment recognized in retained earnings without restating comparatives. The Group elected the use of the package of practical expedients and the practical expedient to use hindsight.

As a result of adoption, the Group recognized lease liabilities and related right-of-use assets of approximately CHF  3.5 billion and CHF  3.3 billion, respectively. In addition, the Group recognized an increase in retained earnings of approximately CHF  0.2 billion, net of tax, which included the release of previously deferred gains on sale lease-back transactions and previously unrecognized impairment losses.

Standards to be adopted in future periods

ASC Topic 326 – Financial Instruments – Credit Losses

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (ASU 2016-13), creating ASC Topic 326 – Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. ASU 2016-13 is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring timelier recording of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost basis including, but not limited to loans, net investments in leases recognized as lessor and off-balance sheet credit exposures. ASU 2016-13 eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold under the current incurred loss methodology for recognizing credit losses. Instead, ASU 2016-13 requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Group will incorporate forward-looking information and macroeconomic factors into its credit loss estimates. ASU 2016-13 requires enhanced disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users to better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization’s portfolio. As the Group is a US Securities and Exchange Commission filer, ASU 2016-13 and its subsequent amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted for annual reporting periods, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Group plans to adopt ASU 2016-13 and its subsequent amendments on January 1, 2020.

The Group has established a cross-functional implementation team and governance structure for the project. The Group has decided on a current expected credit loss (CECL) methodology and continues to adjust for key interpretive issues while monitoring the FASB’s ongoing accounting standards development. The Group intends to utilize multiple macroeconomic scenarios in estimating expected credit losses. Furthermore, the Group will continue to monitor the scope assessment to determine the requirements and data sourcing of the CECL models as well as continue to build and test the models until the effective date. The Group expects to complete model validation and control testing through the remainder of 2019.

94

The Group expects that the new CECL methodology would generally result in increased and more volatile allowance for loan losses. The main impact drivers include:

■ the remaining life of the loans measured at amortized cost and the off-balance sheet credit exposures at the adoption date and subsequent reporting dates because of the new requirement to measure lifetime expected credit losses;

■ the state of the economy at the adoption date and subsequent reporting dates because of the new requirement to incorporate reasonable and supportable forward-looking information and macroeconomic factors; and

■ the credit quality of the loans measured at amortized cost and the off-balance sheet credit exposures at the adoption date and subsequent reporting dates.

Upon adoption of the standard, the Group expects a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings for any changes in credit loss allowances. As the implementation progresses, the Group will continue to evaluate the extent of the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 and its subsequent amendments on the Group’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows and related disclosures.

ASC Topic 715 – Compensation – Retirement Benefits

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, “Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans” (ASU 2018-14), an update to ASC Topic 715 – Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans—General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework. ASU 2018-14 modifies the disclosure framework to improve disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. ASU 2018-14 is effective for annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2018-14 should be applied on a retrospective approach for all periods presented. As these amendments relate only to disclosures, there will be no impact from the adoption of ASU 2018-14 on the Group’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

3 Business developments and subsequent events

Business developments

In June 2019, the Group announced an agreement with Allfunds Group (Allfunds) to combine the Group’s open architecture investment fund platform, Credit Suisse InvestLab AG, with Allfunds. The transaction comprises the transfer of all shares in Credit Suisse Investlab AG, including the service agreements and related distribution agreements of Credit Suisse AG, to Allfunds. As part of this combination, Credit Suisse AG will become a minority shareholder of up to 18% in the combined business and will be represented on the board of directors. Going forward, Credit Suisse AG will utilize the combined business platform to distribute mutual funds and exchange-traded funds.

The transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions including anti-trust and regulatory approvals, will be implemented in staggered closings. The closing of the transfer of Credit Suisse InvestLab AG is expected in 3Q19. The subsequent transfer of the related distribution agreements by Credit Suisse AG is expected to be completed in 1Q20.

14 Revenue from contracts with customers

The Group’s capital markets businesses underwrite and sell securities on behalf of customers and receives underwriting fees.

The Group also offers brokerage services in its investment banking businesses, including global securities sales, trading and execution, prime brokerage and investment research.

The Group’s contract terms are generally such that they do not result in any contract assets.

The Group did not recognize any revenue in the reporting period from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods.

100

Remaining performance obligations

ASC Topic 606’s practical expedient allows the Group to exclude from its remaining performance obligations disclosure of any performance obligations which are part of a contract with an original expected duration of one year or less. Additionally any variable consideration, for which it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved, is not subject to the remaining performance obligations disclosure because such variable consideration is not included in the transaction price (e.g., investment management fees). The Group determined that no material remaining performance obligations are in scope of the remaining performance obligations disclosure.

In accordance with US GAAP, the Group continually assesses whether or not there has been a triggering event requiring a review of goodwill. The Group determined in 2Q19 that a goodwill triggering event occurred for the Asia Pacific – Markets, Global Markets and Investment Banking & Capital Markets reporting units.

Based on its goodwill impairment analysis performed as of June 30, 2019, the Group concluded that the estimated fair value for all of the reporting units with goodwill substantially exceeded their related carrying values and no impairment was necessary as of June 30, 2019.

The carrying value of each reporting unit for the purpose of the goodwill impairment test is determined by considering the reporting units’ risk-weighted assets usage, leverage ratio exposure, deferred tax assets, goodwill and intangible assets. Any residual equity, after considering the total of these elements, is allocated to the reporting units on a pro-rata basis.

In estimating the fair value of its reporting units, the Group applied a combination of the market approach and the income approach. Under the market approach, consideration was given to price to projected earnings multiples or price to book value multiples for similarly traded companies and prices paid in recent transactions that have occurred in its industry or in related industries. Under the income approach, a discount rate was applied that reflects the risk and uncertainty related to the reporting unit’s projected cash flows, which were determined from the Group’s financial plan.

In determining the estimated fair value, the Group relied upon its latest five-year strategic business plan which included significant management assumptions and estimates based on its view of current and future economic conditions and regulatory changes, and as approved by the Board of Directors.

The results of the impairment evaluation of each reporting unit’s goodwill would be significantly impacted by adverse changes in the underlying parameters used in the valuation process. If actual outcomes adversely differ by a significant margin from its best estimates of the key economic assumptions and associated cash flows applied in the valuation of the reporting unit, the Group could potentially incur material impairment charges in the future.

21 Leases

The Group enters into both lessee and lessor arrangements. A lease is identified when a contract (or a part of a contract) exists that conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. In determining whether a contract contains a lease, the Group has assessed whether there is an identifiable asset and whether it has the right to control the use of the identified asset.

> Refer to “Note 2 – Recently issued accounting standards” for further information.

Lessee arrangements

The Group recognizes lease liabilities, which are reported as other liabilities or long-term debt, and right-of-use (ROU) assets, which are reported as other assets. Lease liabilities represent an obligation to make lease payments under the lease contract while ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term. Lease liabilities and ROU assets are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of future lease payments over the lease term.

> Refer to “Note 20 – Other assets and other liabilities” and “Note 22 – Long-term debt”.

The Group enters into leases with fixed or variable lease payments, or with lease payments that depend on an index or a referenced rate. Lease payments at lease commencement which depend on an index or a referenced rate are considered to be unavoidable and are therefore included in the lease liabilities. Other variable lease payments, as well as subsequent changes in an index or referenced rate, are excluded from the lease liabilities. The Group’s incremental borrowing rate, which is used in determining the present value of lease payments, is derived from information available at the lease commencement date. The incremental borrowing rate used for leases is a comparable rate that the Group would expect to pay if it were borrowing from a third party.

The Group primarily enters into operating leases. Operating leases result in a single lease cost, calculated such that the cost of the lease is allocated over the remaining lease term on a straight-line basis. For all leases other than real estate leases, the Group does not separate lease and non-lease components. Operating lease expenses are recognized in general and administrative expenses. The Group’s finance leases are not material.

For certain leases, there are options that permit the Group to extend or terminate these leases. Such options are only included in the measurement of ROU assets and lease liabilities when it is reasonably certain that the Group would exercise the extension option or would not exercise the termination option.

The Group has entered into real estate and equipment leases as well as leases relating to a portfolio of residential solar panels, which are subsequently subleased. Certain real estate leases include restrictions, for example, conditions relating to naming rights or signage.

From time to time, the Group enters into sale-leaseback transactions in which an asset is sold and immediately leased back. If specific criteria are met, the asset is derecognized from the balance sheet and an operating lease is recognized.

During 2Q19, the Group entered into two sale-leaseback transactions in respect of own property, with terms of 10 and 13 years, respectively.

Upon adoption of ASU 2016-02 and its subsequent amendments on January 1, 2019, the Group revised the future operating lease commitments to reflect the expected term of the leases. Previously, the operating lease commitments were based on the minimum contractual term of the lease.

Lessor arrangements

The Group de-recognizes the underlying assets and recognizes net investments in the leases of sales-type and direct financing leases, which are classified as loans. Subsequently, unearned income is amortized to interest income over the lease term using the effective interest method. For operating leases, the Group continues to recognize the underlying asset and depreciates the asset over its estimated useful life. Lease income is recognized in other income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Consideration in a contract is allocated to each separate lease component and each non-lease component on a relative basis in proportion to the stand-alone selling price. The stand-alone selling price is the price at which a customer would purchase the component separately.

The Group enters into sales-type, direct financing and operating leases for real estate and equipment as well as solar equipment.

The net investment in the lease is calculated as the lease receivable plus the unguaranteed portion of the estimated residual value. The lease receivable is initially measured at the present value of the sum of the future lease payments receivable over the lease term and any portion of the estimated residual value at the end of the lease term that is guaranteed by either the lessee or an unrelated third party. The Group initially measures the unguaranteed residual value of the asset as the present value of the amount the lessor expects to derive from the underlying asset following the end of the lease term that is not guaranteed by the lessee or any other third party unrelated to the lessor. The discount rate used is the rate implicit in the lease.

> Refer to “Note 18 – Loans, allowance for loan losses and credit quality” for further information on impaired loans.

As of 2Q19, the Group had approximately CHF  0.8 billion in residual value guarantees associated with leases.

Lease payments are recorded when due and payable by the lessee.

Total lease income	47	47	94

The Group elected the practical expedient to not evaluate whether certain sales taxes and other similar taxes are lessor cost or lessee cost and excludes these costs from being reported as lease income with an associated expense.

The Group enters into leases with fixed or variable lease payments, or with lease payments that depend on an index or a referenced rate which are included in the net investment in the lease at lease commencement, as such payments are considered unavoidable. Other variable lease payments, as well as subsequent changes in an index or referenced rate, are excluded from the net investment in the lease.

For certain leases, there are options that permit the lessee to extend or renew these leases. Such options are only included in the measurement of lease receivables for sales-type and direct financing leases when it is reasonably certain that the lessee would exercise these options. Certain leases include i) termination options that allow lessees to terminate the leases within three months of the commencement date, with a notice period of 30 days; ii) termination options that allow the Group to terminate the lease but do not provide the lessee with the same option; and iii) termination penalties, options to prepay the payments for the remaining lease term or options that permit the lessee to purchase the leased asset at market value or at the greater of market value and the net present value of the remaining payments.

The Group may enter into vehicle leases as a lessor with members of the Board of Directors or the Executive Board. The terms of any such leases are similar to those with third parties.

24 Offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities

The disclosures set out in the tables below include derivatives, reverse repurchase and repurchase agreements, and securities lending and borrowing transactions that:

■ are offset in the Group’s consolidated balance sheets; or

■ are subject to an enforceable master netting agreement or similar agreement (enforceable master netting agreements), irrespective of whether they are offset in the Group’s consolidated balance sheets.

Similar agreements include derivative clearing agreements, global master repurchase agreements and global master securities lending agreements.

Derivatives

The Group transacts bilateral over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives (OTC derivatives) mainly under International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) Master Agreements and Swiss Master Agreements for OTC derivative instruments. These agreements provide for the net settlement of all transactions under the agreement through a single payment in the event of default or termination under the agreement. They allow the Group to offset balances from derivative assets and liabilities as well as the receivables and payables to related cash collateral transacted with the same counterparty. Collateral for OTC derivatives is received and provided in the form of cash and marketable securities. Such collateral may be subject to the standard industry terms of an ISDA Credit Support Annex. The terms of an ISDA Credit Support Annex provide that securities received or provided as collateral may be pledged or sold during the term of the transactions and must be returned upon maturity of the transaction. These terms also give each counterparty the right to terminate the related transactions upon the other counterparty’s failure to post collateral. Financial collateral received or pledged for OTC derivatives may also be subject to collateral agreements which restrict the use of financial collateral.

For derivatives transacted with exchanges (exchange-traded derivatives) and central clearing counterparties (OTC-cleared derivatives), positive and negative replacement values (PRV/NRV) and related cash collateral may be offset if the terms of the rules and regulations governing these exchanges and central clearing counterparties permit such netting and offset.

Where no such agreements or terms exist, fair values are recorded on a gross basis.

Exchange-traded derivatives or OTC-cleared derivatives, which are fully margined and for which the daily margin payments constitute settlement of the outstanding exposure, are not included in the offsetting disclosures because they are not subject to offsetting due to the daily settlement. The daily margin payments, which are not settled until the next settlement cycle is conducted, are presented in brokerage receivables or brokerage payables. The notional amount for these daily settled derivatives is included in the fair value of derivative instruments table in “Note 28 – Derivatives and hedging activities”.

Under US GAAP, the Group elected to account for substantially all financial instruments with an embedded derivative that is not considered clearly and closely related to the host contract at fair value. There is an exception for certain bifurcatable hybrid debt instruments which the Group did not elect to account for at fair value. However, these bifurcated embedded derivatives are generally not subject to enforceable master netting agreements and are not recorded as derivative instruments under trading assets and liabilities or other assets and other liabilities. Information on bifurcated embedded derivatives has therefore not been included in the offsetting disclosures.

The following table presents the gross amount of derivatives subject to enforceable master netting agreements by contract and transaction type, the amount of offsetting, the amount of derivatives not subject to enforceable master netting agreements and the net amount presented in the consolidated balance sheets.

Reverse repurchase and repurchase agreements and securities lending and borrowing transactions

Reverse repurchase and repurchase agreements are generally covered by global master repurchase agreements. In certain situations, for example, in the event of default, all contracts under the agreements are terminated and are settled net in one single payment. Global master repurchase agreements also include payment or settlement netting provisions in the normal course of business that state that all amounts in the same currency payable by each party to the other under any transaction or otherwise under the global master repurchase agreement on the same date shall be set off.

Transactions under such agreements are netted in the consolidated balance sheets if they are with the same counterparty, have the same maturity date, settle through the same clearing institution and are subject to the same enforceable master netting agreement. The amounts offset are measured on the same basis as the underlying transaction (i.e., on an accrual basis or fair value basis).

Securities lending and borrowing transactions are generally executed under global master securities lending agreements with netting terms similar to ISDA Master Agreements. In certain situations, for example in the event of default, all contracts under the agreement are terminated and are settled net in one single payment. Transactions under these agreements are netted in the consolidated balance sheets if they meet the same right of offset criteria as for reverse repurchase and repurchase agreements. In general, most securities lending and borrowing transactions do not meet the criterion of having the same settlement date specified at inception of the transaction, and therefore they are not eligible for netting in the consolidated balance sheets. However, securities lending and borrowing transactions with explicit maturity dates may be eligible for netting in the consolidated balance sheets.

Reverse repurchase and repurchase agreements are collateralized principally by government securities, money market instruments and corporate bonds and have terms ranging from overnight to a longer or unspecified period of time. In the event of counterparty default, the reverse repurchase agreement or securities lending agreement provides the Group with the right to liquidate the collateral held. As is the case in the Group’s normal course of business, a significant portion of the collateral received that may be sold or repledged was sold or repledged as of the end of 2Q19 and 4Q18. In certain circumstances, financial collateral received may be restricted during the term of the agreement (e.g., in tri-party arrangements).

The following table presents the gross amount of securities purchased under resale agreements and securities borrowing transactions subject to enforceable master netting agreements, the amount of offsetting, the amount of securities purchased under resale agreements and securities borrowing transactions not subject to enforceable master netting agreements and the net amount presented in the consolidated balance sheets.

1 The total amount reported in financial instruments (recognized financial assets and financial liabilities and non-cash financial collateral) and cash collateral is limited to the amount of the related instruments presented in the consolidated balance sheets and therefore any over-collateralization of these positions is not included.

Net exposure is subject to further credit mitigation through the transfer of the exposure to other market counterparties by the use of credit default swaps (CDS) and credit insurance contracts. Therefore, the net exposure presented in the table above is not representative of the Group’s counterparty exposure.

25 Tax

The 2Q19 income tax expense of CHF  365 million includes the impact of the continuous reassessment of the estimated annual effective tax rate as well as the impact of items that need to be recorded in the specific interim period in which they occur. Further details are outlined in the tax expense reconciliation below.

Net deferred tax assets related to net operating losses, net deferred tax assets on temporary differences and net deferred tax liabilities are presented in the following manner. Nettable gross deferred tax liabilities are allocated on a pro-rata basis to gross deferred tax assets on net operating losses and gross deferred tax assets on temporary differences. This approach is aligned with the underlying treatment of netting gross deferred tax assets and liabilities under the Basel III framework. Valuation allowances have been allocated against such deferred tax assets on net operating losses first with any remainder allocated to such deferred tax assets on temporary differences. This presentation is considered the most appropriate disclosure given the underlying nature of the gross deferred tax balances.

As of June 30, 2019, the Group had accumulated undistributed earnings from foreign subsidiaries of CHF  11.9 billion which are considered indefinitely reinvested. The Group would need to accrue and pay taxes on these undistributed earnings if such earnings were repatriated. No deferred tax liability was recorded in respect of those amounts as these earnings are considered indefinitely reinvested. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liabilities for these undistributed foreign earnings.

The Group is currently subject to ongoing tax audits, inquiries and litigation with the tax authorities in a number of jurisdictions, including Brazil, the Netherlands, the US, the UK and Switzerland. Although the timing of completion is uncertain, it is reasonably possible that some of these will be resolved within 12 months of the reporting date. It is reasonably possible that there will be a decrease between zero and CHF  187 million in unrecognized tax benefits within 12 months of the reporting date.

The Group remains open to examination from federal, state, provincial or similar local jurisdictions from the following years onward in these major countries: Brazil – 2014; the UK – 2012; Switzerland – 2011; the US – 2010; and the Netherlands – 2006.

Foreign tax rate differential

2Q19 included a foreign tax benefit of CHF  24 million mainly driven by losses made in higher tax jurisdictions, such as the UK, partially offset by earnings in higher tax jurisdictions, such as the US.

Other non-deductible expenses

2Q19 included the net impact of CHF  54 million relating to non-deductible interest expenses (including a benefit of CHF  60 million from a previously unrecognized tax benefit) and non-deductible bank levy costs. The remaining balance included various smaller items relating to other non-deductible expenses.

Changes in deferred tax valuation allowance

2Q19 included the impact of the estimated current year earnings, resulting in a decrease of valuation allowances of CHF  30 million mainly in respect of one of the Group’s operating entities in the UK and an increase of valuation allowances of CHF  38 million mainly in respect of three of the Group’s operating entities in the US, the UK and Switzerland.

Lower taxed income

2Q19 primarily included the impacts related to non-taxable dividend income of CHF  17 million and non-taxable life insurance income of CHF  12 million.

122

2Q19 included a tax charge of CHF  36 million relating to the tax impact of transitional adjustments arising on the first adoption of IFRS 9 for own credit movements, CHF  30 million relating to the US base erosion and anti-abuse tax (BEAT), CHF  26 million relating to withholding taxes and CHF  7 million relating to a prior year adjustment and various smaller balances. This was partially offset by CHF  41 million relating to a beneficial earnings mix in one of the Group’s operating entities in Switzerland, CHF  15 million relating to own-credit valuation movements and CHF  12 million relating to the release of previously unrecognized tax benefits.

27 Pension and other post-retirement benefits

The Group sponsors defined contribution pension plans, defined benefit pension plans and other post-retirement defined benefit plans. The Group contributed and recognized expenses of CHF  44 million, CHF  41 million, CHF  43 million, CHF  85 million and CHF  85 million related to its defined contribution pension plans in 2Q19, 1Q19, 2Q18, 6M19 and 6M18, respectively.

> Refer to “Note 31 – Pension and other post-retirement benefits” in VI – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2018 for further information.

The Group expects to contribute CHF  429 million to the Swiss and international defined benefit plans and other post-retirement defined benefit plans in 2019. As of the end of 2Q19, CHF  242 million of contributions have been made.

On April 3, 2019, Credit Suisse announced an amendment to its existing Swiss defined benefit pension plan and the introduction of a new Swiss defined contribution plan. Effective January 1, 2020, savings contributions on gross salary components exceeding a certain threshold will be credited to a new Swiss defined contribution plan and no longer paid into the lump-sum component of the existing Swiss defined benefit pension plan. In the new Swiss defined contribution plan, insured employees can select the investment strategy and will bear the investment risk. These changes resulted in a reduction of the Swiss pension plan liabilities and an increase in the overall funding surplus of the existing Swiss defined benefit pension plan of CHF  428 million (CHF  338 million, net of tax) which was recognized as a prior service credit in 2Q19. The plan amendment triggered a revaluation of plan assets and liabilities based on 1Q19 market data, resulting in an actuarial gain and an additional increase in the overall funding surplus of the Swiss defined benefit pension plan of CHF  406 million (CHF  323 million, net of tax).

The total increase in the overall funding surplus of the Swiss defined benefit pension plan is reflected in Other assets – defined benefit pension and post-retirement plan assets.

Disclosures relating to contingent credit risk

Certain of the Group’s derivative instruments contain provisions that require it to maintain a specified credit rating from each of the major credit rating agencies. If the ratings fall below the level specified in the contract, the counterparties to the agreements could request payment of additional collateral on those derivative instruments that are in a net liability position. Certain of the derivative contracts also provide for termination of the contract, generally upon a downgrade of either the Group or the counterparty. Such derivative contracts are reflected at close-out costs.

The following table provides the Group’s current net exposure from contingent credit risk relating to derivative contracts with bilateral counterparties and SPEs that include credit support agreements, the related collateral posted and the additional collateral required in a one-notch, two-notch and a three-notch downgrade event, respectively. The table also includes derivative contracts with contingent credit risk features without credit support agreements that have accelerated termination event conditions. The current net exposure for derivative contracts with bilateral counterparties and contracts with accelerated termination event conditions is the aggregate fair value of derivative instruments that were in a net liability position. For SPEs, the current net exposure is the contractual amount that is used to determine the collateral payable in the event of a downgrade. The contractual amount could include both the NRV and a percentage of the notional value of the derivative.

Credit derivatives

> Refer to “Note 32 – Derivatives and hedging activities” in VI – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2018 for further information on credit derivatives.

Credit protection sold/purchased

The following tables do not include all credit derivatives and differ from the credit derivatives in the “Fair value of derivative instruments” tables. This is due to the exclusion of certain credit derivative instruments under US GAAP, which defines a credit derivative as a derivative instrument (a) in which one or more of its underlyings are related to the credit risk of a specified entity (or a group of entities) or an index based on the credit risk of a group of entities and (b) that exposes the seller to potential loss from credit risk-related events specified in the contract.

Total return swaps (TRS) of CHF  9.5 billion and CHF  9.7 billion as of the end of 2Q19 and 4Q18, were also excluded because a TRS does not expose the seller to potential loss from credit risk-related events specified in the contract. A TRS only provides protection against a loss in asset value and not against additional amounts as a result of specific credit events.

Credit protection sold

Credit protection sold is the maximum potential payout, which is based on the notional value of derivatives and represents the amount of future payments that the Group would be required to make as a result of credit risk-related events.

Credit protection purchased

Credit protection purchased represents those instruments where the underlying reference instrument is identical to the reference instrument of the credit protection sold.

Other protection purchased

In the normal course of business, the Group purchases protection to offset the risk of credit protection sold that may have similar, but not identical, reference instruments and may use similar, but not identical, products, which reduces the total credit derivative exposure. Other protection purchased is based on the notional value of the instruments.

Fair value of credit protection sold

The fair values of the credit protection sold give an indication of the amount of payment risk, as the negative fair values increase when the potential payment under the derivative contracts becomes more probable.

The following table reconciles the notional amount of credit derivatives included in the table “Fair value of derivative instruments” to the table “Credit protection sold/purchased”.

29 Guarantees and commitments

Guarantees

In the ordinary course of business, guarantees are provided that contingently obligate the Group to make payments to third parties if the counterparty fails to fulfill its obligation under a borrowing or other contractual arrangement. The total gross amount disclosed within the Guarantees table reflects the maximum potential payment under the guarantees. The carrying value represents the higher of the initial fair value (generally the related fee received or receivable) less cumulative amortization and the Group’s current best estimate of payments that will be required under existing guarantee arrangements.

Guarantees provided by the Group are classified as follows: credit guarantees and similar instruments, performance guarantees and similar instruments, derivatives and other guarantees.

> Refer to “Guarantees” in VI – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group – Note 33 – Guarantees and commitments in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2018 for a detailed description of guarantees.

Deposit-taking banks and securities dealers in Switzerland and certain other European countries are required to ensure the payout of privileged deposits in case of specified restrictions or compulsory liquidation of a deposit-taking bank. In Switzerland, deposit-taking banks and securities dealers jointly guarantee an amount of up to CHF  6 billion. Upon occurrence of a payout event triggered by a specified restriction of business imposed by FINMA or by the compulsory liquidation of another deposit-taking bank, the Group’s contribution will be calculated based on its share of privileged deposits in proportion to total privileged deposits. Based on FINMA’s estimate for the Group’s banking subsidiaries in Switzerland, the Group’s share in the deposit insurance guarantee program for the period July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019 was CHF  0.5 billion. These deposit insurance guarantees were reflected in other guarantees. For the period July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020, the Group’s share in this deposit insurance guarantee program based on FINMA’s estimate will be CHF  0.5 billion.

Representations and warranties on residential mortgage loans sold

In connection with the Global Markets division’s sale of US residential mortgage loans, the Group has provided certain representations and warranties relating to the loans sold. The Group has provided these representations and warranties relating to sales of loans to institutional investors, primarily banks, and non-agency, or private label, securitizations. The loans sold are primarily loans that the Group has purchased from other parties. The scope of representations and warranties, if any, depends on the transaction, but can include: ownership of the mortgage loans and legal capacity to sell the loans; loan-to-value ratios and other characteristics of the property, the borrower and the loan; validity of the liens securing the loans and absence of delinquent taxes or related liens; conformity to underwriting standards and completeness of documentation; and origination in compliance with law. If it is determined that representations and warranties were breached, the Group may be required to repurchase the related

130

loans or indemnify the investors to make them whole for losses. Whether the Group will incur a loss in connection with repurchases and make whole payments depends on: the extent to which claims are made; the validity of such claims made within the statute of limitations (including the likelihood and ability to enforce claims); whether the Group can successfully claim against parties that sold loans to the Group and made representations and warranties to the Group; the residential real estate market, including the number of defaults; and whether the obligations of the securitization vehicles were guaranteed or insured by third parties.

Repurchase claims on residential mortgage loans sold that are subject to arbitration or litigation proceedings, or become so during the reporting period, are not included in this Guarantees and commitments disclosure but are addressed in litigation and related loss contingencies and provisions. The Group is involved in litigation relating to representations and warranties on residential mortgages sold.

> Refer to “Note 33 – Litigation” for further information.

Disposal-related contingencies and other indemnifications

The Group has certain guarantees for which its maximum contingent liability cannot be quantified. These guarantees include disposal-related contingencies in connection with the sale of assets or businesses, and other indemnifications. These guarantees are not reflected in the “Guarantees” table.

> Refer to “Disposal-related contingencies and other indemnifications” in VI – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group – Note 33 – Guarantees and commitments in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2018 for a description of these guarantees.

Other commitments

Other commitments of the Group are classified as follows: irrevocable commitments under documentary credits, irrevocable loan commitments, forward reverse repurchase agreements and other commitments.

30 Transfers of financial assets and variable interest entities

In the normal course of business, the Group enters into transactions with, and makes use of, SPEs. An SPE is an entity in the form of a trust or other legal structure designed to fulfill a specific limited need of the company that organized it and is generally structured to isolate the SPE’s assets from creditors of other entities, including the Group. The principal uses of SPEs are to assist the Group and its clients in securitizing financial assets and creating investment products. The Group also uses SPEs for other client-driven activity, such as to facilitate financings, and for Group tax or regulatory purposes.

Transfers of financial assets

Securitizations

The majority of the Group’s securitization activities involve mortgages and mortgage-related securities and are predominantly transacted using SPEs. In a typical securitization, the SPE purchases assets financed by proceeds received from the SPE’s issuance of debt and equity instruments, certificates, commercial papers (CP) and other notes of indebtedness. These assets and liabilities are recorded on the balance sheet of the SPE and not reflected on the Group’s consolidated balance sheet, unless either the Group sold the assets to the entity and the accounting requirements for sale were not met or the Group consolidates the SPE.

The Group purchases commercial and residential mortgages for the purpose of securitization and sells these mortgage loans to SPEs. These SPEs issue commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) and asset-backed securities (ABS) that are collateralized by the assets transferred to the SPE and that pay a return based on the returns on those assets. Investors in these mortgage-backed securities or ABS typically have recourse to the assets in the SPEs. Third-party guarantees may further enhance the creditworthiness of the assets. The investors and the SPEs have no recourse to the Group’s assets. The Group is typically an underwriter of, and makes a market in, these securities.

The Group also transacts in re-securitizations of previously issued RMBS securities. Typically, certificates issued out of an existing securitization vehicle are sold into a newly created and separate securitization vehicle. Often, these re-securitizations are initiated in order to re-securitize an existing security to give the investor an investment with different risk ratings or characteristics.

The Group also uses SPEs for other asset-backed financings relating to client-driven activity and for Group tax or regulatory purposes. Types of structures included in this category include managed collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), CLOs, leveraged finance, repack and other types of transactions, including life insurance structures, emerging market structures set up for financing, loan participation or loan origination purposes, and other alternative structures created for the purpose of investing in venture capital-like investments. CLOs are collateralized by loans transferred to the CLO vehicle and pay a return based on the returns on the loans. Leveraged finance structures are used to assist in the syndication of certain loans held by the Group, while repack structures are designed to give a client collateralized exposure to specific cash flows or credit risk backed by collateral purchased from the Group. In these asset-backed financing structures, investors typically only have recourse to the collateral of the SPE and do not have recourse to the Group’s assets.

When the Group transfers assets into an SPE, it must assess whether that transfer is accounted for as a sale of the assets. Transfers of assets may not meet sale requirements if the assets have not been legally isolated from the Group and/or if the Group’s continuing involvement is deemed to give it effective control over the assets. If the transfer is not deemed a sale, it is instead accounted for as a secured borrowing, with the transferred assets as collateral.

Gains and losses on securitization transactions depend, in part, on the carrying values of mortgages and loans involved in the transfer and are allocated between the assets sold and any beneficial interests retained according to the relative fair values at the date of sale.

The Group does not retain material servicing responsibilities from securitization activities.

The following table provides the gains or losses and proceeds from the transfer of assets relating to 6M19 and 6M18 securitizations of financial assets that qualify for sale accounting and subsequent derecognition, along with the cash flows between the Group and the SPEs used in any securitizations in which the Group still has continuing involvement, regardless of when the securitization occurred.

The gains or losses on the sale of the collateral is the difference between the fair value on the day prior to the securitization pricing date and the sale price of the loans.
2 Represents management fees and performance fees earned for investment management services provided to managed CLOs.

Continuing involvement in transferred financial assets

The Group may have continuing involvement in the financial assets that are transferred to an SPE which may take several forms, including, but not limited to, servicing, recourse and guarantee arrangements, agreements to purchase or redeem transferred assets, derivative instruments, pledges of collateral and beneficial interests in the transferred assets.

> Refer to “Transfer of financial assets” in VI – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group – Note 34 – Transfer of financial assets and variable interest entities in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2018 for a detailed description of continuing involvement in transferred financial assets.

The following table provides the outstanding principal balance of assets to which the Group continued to be exposed after the transfer of the financial assets to any SPE and the total assets of the SPE as of the end of 2Q19 and 4Q18, regardless of when the transfer of assets occurred.

Fair value of beneficial interests

The fair value measurement of the beneficial interests held at the time of transfer and as of the reporting date that result from any continuing involvement is determined using fair value estimation techniques, such as the present value of estimated future cash flows that incorporate assumptions that market participants customarily use in these valuation techniques. The fair value of the assets or liabilities that result from any continuing involvement does not include any benefits from financial instruments that the Group may utilize to hedge the inherent risks.

Key economic assumptions at the time of transfer

1 Prepayment speed assumption (PSA) is an industry standard prepayment speed metric used for projecting prepayments over the life of a residential mortgage loan. PSA utilizes the constant prepayment rate (CPR) assumptions. A 100% prepayment assumption assumes a prepayment rate of 0.2% per annum of the outstanding principal balance of mortgage loans in the first month. This increases by 0.2 percentage points thereafter during the term of the mortgage loan, leveling off to a CPR of 6% per annum beginning in the 30th month and each month thereafter during the term of the mortgage loan. 100 PSA equals 6 CPR.
2 To deter prepayment, commercial mortgage loans typically have prepayment protection in the form of prepayment lockouts and yield maintenances.
3 The rate is based on the weighted-average yield on the beneficial interests.
4 The range of expected credit losses only reflects instruments with an expected credit loss greater than zero unless all of the instruments have an expected credit loss of zero.

3 PSA is an industry standard prepayment speed metric used for projecting prepayments over the life of a residential mortgage loan. PSA utilizes the CPR assumptions. A 100% prepayment assumption assumes a prepayment rate of 0.2% per annum of the outstanding principal balance of mortgage loans in the first month. This increases by 0.2 percentage points thereafter during the term of the mortgage loan, leveling off to a CPR of 6% per annum beginning in the 30th month and each month thereafter during the term of the mortgage loan. 100 PSA equals 6 CPR.
4 The rate is based on the weighted-average yield on the beneficial interests.
5 The range of expected credit losses only reflects instruments with an expected credit loss greater than zero unless all of the instruments have an expected credit loss of zero.

These sensitivities are hypothetical and do not reflect economic hedging activities. Changes in fair value based on a 10% or 20% variation in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the beneficial interests is calculated without changing any other assumption. In practice, changes in one assumption may result in changes in other assumptions (for example, increases in market interest rates may result in lower prepayments and increased credit losses), which might magnify or counteract the sensitivities.

Securities sold under repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions accounted for as secured borrowings

For securities sold under repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, US GAAP requires the disclosure of the collateral pledged and the associated risks to which a transferor continues to be exposed after the transfer. This provides an understanding of the nature and risks of short-term collateralized financing obtained through these types of transactions.

134

Securities sold under repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions represent collateralized financing transactions used to earn net interest income, increase liquidity or facilitate trading activities. These transactions are collateralized principally by government debt securities, corporate debt securities, asset-backed securities, equity securities and other collateral and have terms ranging from on demand to a longer period of time.

In the event of the Group’s default or a decline in fair value of collateral pledged, the repurchase agreement provides the counterparty with the right to liquidate the collateral held or request additional collateral. Similarly, in the event of the Group’s default, the securities lending transaction provides the counterparty the right to liquidate the securities borrowed.

The following tables provide the gross obligation relating to securities sold under repurchase agreements, securities lending transactions and obligation to return securities received as collateral by the class of collateral pledged and by remaining contractual maturity as of the end of 2Q19 and 4Q18.

Variable interest entities

As a normal part of its business, the Group engages in various transactions that include entities that are considered variable interest entities (VIEs) and are grouped into three primary categories: collateralized debt obligations (CDOs)/CLOs, CP conduits and financial intermediation.

> Refer to “Variable interest entities” in VI – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group – Note 34 – Transfer of financial assets and variable interest entities in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2018 for a detailed description of VIEs, CDO/CLOs, CP conduit or financial intermediation.

Collateralized debt and loan obligations

The Group engages in CDO/CLO transactions to meet client and investor needs, earn fees and sell financial assets and, in the case of CLOs, loans. The Group may act as underwriter, placement agent or asset manager and may warehouse assets prior to the closing of a transaction.

Commercial paper conduit

The Group acts as the administrator and provider of liquidity and credit enhancement facilities for Alpine Securitization Ltd (Alpine), a multi-seller asset-backed CP conduit used for client and Group financing purposes. Alpine discloses to CP investors certain portfolio and asset data and submits its portfolio to rating agencies for public ratings. This CP conduit purchases assets such as loans and receivables or enters into reverse repurchase agreements and finances such activities through the issuance of CP backed by these assets. The CP conduit can enter into liquidity facilities with third-party entities pursuant to which it may be required to purchase assets from these entities to provide them with liquidity and credit support. The financing transactions are structured to provide credit support to the CP conduit in the form of over-collateralization and other asset-specific enhancements. Alpine is a separate legal entity that is wholly owned by the Group. However, its assets are available to satisfy only the claims of its creditors. In addition, the Group, as administrator and liquidity facility provider, has significant exposure to and power over the activities of Alpine. Alpine is considered a VIE for accounting purposes and the Group is deemed the primary beneficiary and consolidates this entity.

The overall average maturity of Alpine’s outstanding CP was approximately 114 days as of the end of 2Q19. Alpine was rated A-1(sf) by Standard & Poor’s and P-1(sf) by Moody’s and had exposures mainly in reverse repurchase agreements with a Group entity, consumer loans, car loans and leases, small business loans and commercial leases.

The Group’s commitment to this CP conduit consists of obligations under liquidity agreements. The liquidity agreements are asset-specific arrangements, which require the Group to provide short-term financing to the CP conduit or to purchase assets from the CP conduit in certain circumstances, including a lack of liquidity in the CP market such that the CP conduit cannot refinance its obligations or, in some cases, a default of an underlying asset. The asset-specific credit enhancements provided by the client seller of the assets remain unchanged as a result of such a purchase. In entering into such agreements, the Group reviews the credit risk associated with these transactions on the same basis that would apply to other extensions of credit.

The Group’s economic risks associated with the CP conduit are included in the Group’s risk management framework including counterparty, economic risk capital and scenario analysis.

Financial intermediation

The Group has significant involvement with VIEs in its role as a financial intermediary on behalf of clients.

Financial intermediation consists of securitizations, funds, loans and other vehicles.

136

Consolidated VIEs

The Group has significant involvement with VIEs in its role as a financial intermediary on behalf of clients. The Group consolidates all VIEs related to financial intermediation for which it was the primary beneficiary.

The consolidated VIEs table provides the carrying amounts and classifications of the assets and liabilities of consolidated VIEs as of the end of 2Q19 and 4Q18.

Non-consolidated VIEs

The non-consolidated VIEs table provides the carrying amounts and classification of the assets of variable interests recorded in the Group’s consolidated balance sheets, maximum exposure to loss and total assets of the non-consolidated VIEs.

Certain VIEs have not been included in the following table, including VIEs structured by third parties in which the Group’s interest is in the form of securities held in the Group’s inventory, certain repurchase financings to funds and single-asset financing vehicles not sponsored by the Group to which the Group provides financing but has very little risk of loss due to over-collateralization and/or guarantees, failed sales where the Group does not have any other holdings and other entities out of scope.

> Refer to “Variable interest entities” in VI – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group – Note 34 – Transfer of financial assets and variable interest entities in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2018 for further information on non-consolidated VIEs.

31 Financial instruments

The disclosure of the Group’s financial instruments below includes the following sections:

■ Concentration of credit risk;

■ Fair value measurement (including fair value hierarchy, transfers between levels; level 3 reconciliation; qualitative and quantitative disclosures of valuation techniques and nonrecurring fair value changes);

■ Fair value option; and

■ Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments not carried at fair value.

Concentrations of credit risk

Credit risk concentrations arise when a number of counterparties are engaged in similar business activities, are located in the same geographic region or when there are similar economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly impacted by changes in economic conditions.

> Refer to “Note 35 – Financial instruments” in VI – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2018 for further information on the Group’s concentrations of credit risk.

Fair value measurement

A significant portion of the Group’s financial instruments is carried at fair value. Deterioration of financial markets could significantly impact the fair value of these financial instruments and the results of operations.

> Refer to “Note 35 – Financial instruments” in VI – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2018 for further information on fair value measurement of financial instruments and the definition of the levels of the fair value hierarchy.

Qualitative disclosures of valuation techniques

Information on the valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs of the various financial instruments and the sensitivity of fair value measurements to changes in significant unobservable inputs, should be read in conjunction with the tables “Quantitative information about level 3 assets at fair value” and “Quantitative information about level 3 liabilities at fair value”.

> Refer to “Note 35 – Financial instruments” in VI – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2018 for further information on the Group’s valuation techniques.

1 Excludes net realized/unrealized gains/(losses) attributable to foreign currency translation impact.
2 Prior period has been corrected.

Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair value of positions that have been classified within level 3. As a result, the unrealized gains and losses for assets and liabilities within level 3 presented in the table above may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable and unobservable inputs.

The Group employs various economic hedging techniques in order to manage risks, including risks in level 3 positions. Such techniques may include the purchase or sale of financial instruments that are classified in levels 1 and/or 2. The realized and unrealized gains and losses for assets and liabilities in level 3 presented in the table above do not reflect the related realized or unrealized gains and losses arising on economic hedging instruments classified in levels 1 and/or 2.

Transfers in and out of level 3

Transfers into level 3 assets during 6M19 were CHF  1,151 million, primarily from trading assets and loans. These transfers were primarily in the financing, equity derivatives and credit businesses due to limited observability of pricing data. Transfers out of level 3 assets during 6M19 were CHF  2,200 million, primarily in trading assets and loans. These transfers were primarily in the fixed income, equity derivatives and financing businesses due to increased observability of pricing data and increased availability of pricing information from external providers.

Transfers into level 3 assets during 2Q19 were CHF  450 million, primarily from trading assets. These transfers were primarily in the financing, equity derivatives and credit businesses due to limited observability of pricing data. Transfers out of level 3 assets during 2Q19 were CHF  1,111 million, primarily in trading assets and loans. These transfers were primarily in the fixed income, financing and equity derivatives businesses due to increased observability of pricing data and increased availability of pricing information from external providers.

Uncertainty of fair value measurements at the reporting date from the use of significant unobservable inputs

For level 3 assets with significant unobservable inputs of buyback probability, contingent probability, correlation, funding spread, mortality rate, price, recovery rate, volatility or volatility skew, in general, an increase in the significant unobservable input would increase the fair value. For level 3 assets with significant unobservable inputs of credit spread, default rate, discount rate, gap risk, market implied life expectancy (for life settlement and premium finance instruments) or prepayment rate, in general, an increase in the significant unobservable input would decrease the fair value.

For level 3 liabilities, in general, an increase in the related significant unobservable inputs would have an inverse impact on fair value. An increase in the significant unobservable inputs contingent probability, credit spread, gap risk or market implied life expectancy would increase the fair value. An increase in the significant unobservable inputs buyback probability, correlation, discount rate, fund gap risk, fund NAV, funding spread, mean reversion, mortality rate, prepayment rate, price or volatility would decrease the fair value.

Interrelationships between significant unobservable inputs

Except as noted above, there are no material interrelationships between the significant unobservable inputs for the financial instruments. As the significant unobservable inputs move independently, generally an increase or decrease in one significant unobservable input will have no impact on the other significant unobservable inputs.

Quantitative disclosures of valuation techniques

The following tables provide the representative range of minimum and maximum values and the associated weighted averages of each significant unobservable input for level 3 assets and liabilities by the related valuation technique most significant to the related financial instrument.

Qualitative discussion of the ranges of significant unobservable inputs

The level of aggregation and diversity within the financial instruments disclosed in the tables above results in certain ranges of significant inputs being wide and unevenly distributed across asset and liability categories.

> Refer to “Note 35 – Financial instruments” in VI – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2018 for further information on the Group’s qualitative discussion of the ranges of signification unobservable inputs.

Investment funds measured at NAV per share

Investments in funds held in trading assets and trading liabilities primarily include positions held in equity funds of funds as an economic hedge for structured notes and derivatives issued to clients that reference the same underlying risk and liquidity terms of the fund. A majority of these funds have limitations imposed on the amount of withdrawals from the fund during the redemption period due to illiquidity of the investments. In other instances, the withdrawal amounts may vary depending on the redemption notice period and are usually larger for the longer redemption notice periods. In addition, penalties may apply if redemption is within a certain time period from initial investment.

Investments in funds held in other investments principally involve private equity securities and, to a lesser extent, publicly traded securities and fund of funds. Several of these investments have redemption restrictions subject to the discretion of the board of directors of the fund and/or redemption is permitted without restriction, but is limited to a certain percentage of total assets or only after a certain date.

For those funds held in trading assets and trading liabilities and funds held in other investments that are nonredeemable, the underlying assets of such funds are expected to be liquidated over the life of the fund, which is generally up to 10 years.

The following table pertains to investments in certain entities that calculate NAV per share or its equivalent, primarily private equity and hedge funds. These investments do not have a readily determinable fair value and are measured at fair value using NAV.

Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, they are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, for example, when there is evidence of impairment. Nonrecurring measurements are completed as of the end of the period unless otherwise stated.

There were no material assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in 2Q19 and 4Q18.

The Group typically uses nonfinancial assets measured at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis in a manner that reflects their highest and best use.

Fair value option

The Group has availed itself of the simplification in accounting offered under the fair value option. This has been accomplished generally by electing the fair value option, both at initial adoption and for subsequent transactions, on items impacted by the hedge accounting requirements of US GAAP. For instruments for which hedge accounting could not be achieved but for which the Group is economically hedged, the Group has generally elected the fair value option. Where the Group manages an activity on a fair value basis but previously has been unable to achieve fair value accounting, the Group has generally utilized the fair value option to align its risk management reporting to its financial accounting.

> Refer to “Note 35 – Financial instruments” in VI – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2018 for further information on the Group’s election of the fair value option.

33 Litigation

The Group is involved in a number of judicial, regulatory and arbitration proceedings concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of its businesses. The Group’s material proceedings, related provisions and estimate of the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses that are not covered by existing provisions are described in Note 39 – Litigation in VI – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2018 and updated in subsequent quarterly reports (including those discussed below). Some of these proceedings have been brought on behalf of various classes of claimants and seek damages of material and/or indeterminate amounts.

The Group accrues loss contingency litigation provisions and takes a charge to income in connection with certain proceedings when losses, additional losses or ranges of loss are probable and reasonably estimable. The Group also accrues litigation provisions for the estimated fees and expenses of external lawyers and other service providers in relation to such proceedings, including in cases for which it has not accrued a loss contingency provision. The Group accrues these fee and expense litigation provisions and takes a charge to income in connection therewith when such fees and expenses are probable and reasonably estimable. The Group reviews its legal proceedings each quarter to determine the adequacy of its litigation provisions and may increase or release provisions based on management’s judgment and the advice of counsel. The establishment of additional provisions or releases of litigation provisions may be necessary in the future as developments in such proceedings warrant.

The specific matters described include (a) proceedings where the Group has accrued a loss contingency provision, given that it is probable that a loss may be incurred and such loss is reasonably estimable; and (b) proceedings where the Group has not accrued such a loss contingency provision for various reasons, including, but not limited to, the fact that any related losses are not reasonably estimable. The description of certain of the matters includes a statement that the Group has established a loss contingency provision and discloses the amount of such provision; for the other matters no such statement is made. With respect to the matters for which no such statement is made, either (a) the Group has not established a loss contingency provision, in which case the matter is treated as a contingent liability under the applicable accounting standard, or (b) the Group has established such a provision but believes that disclosure of that fact would violate confidentiality obligations to which the Group is subject or otherwise compromise attorney-client privilege, work product protection or other protections against disclosure or compromise the Group’s management of the matter. The future outflow of funds in respect of any matter for which the Group has accrued loss contingency provisions 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 is reflected on the Group’s balance sheet.

It is inherently difficult to determine whether a loss is probable or even reasonably possible or to estimate the amount of any loss or loss range for many of the Group’s legal proceedings. Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgment and currently available information and involve a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the type and nature of the proceeding, the progress of the matter, the advice of counsel, the Group’s defenses and its experience in similar matters, as well as its assessment of matters, including

159

settlements, involving other defendants in similar or related cases or proceedings. Factual and legal determinations, many of which are complex, must be made before a loss, additional losses or ranges of loss can be reasonably estimated for any proceeding.

Most matters pending against the Group seek damages of an indeterminate amount. While certain matters specify the damages claimed, such claimed amount may not represent the Group’s reasonably possible losses. For certain of the proceedings discussed the Group has disclosed the amount of damages claimed and certain other quantifiable information that is publicly available.

The Group’s aggregate litigation provisions include estimates of losses, additional losses or ranges of loss for proceedings for which such losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. The Group does not believe that it can estimate an aggregate range of reasonably possible losses for certain of its proceedings because of their complexity, the novelty of some of the claims, the early stage of the proceedings, the limited amount of discovery that has occurred and/or other factors. The Group’s estimate of the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses that are not covered by existing provisions for the proceedings discussed in Note 39 referenced above and updated in quarterly reports (including below) for which the Group believes an estimate is possible is zero to CHF  1.4 billion.

In 2Q19, the Group recorded net litigation provisions of CHF  73 million. After taking into account its litigation provisions, the Group believes, based on currently available information and advice of counsel, that the results of its legal proceedings, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Group’s financial condition. However, in light of the inherent uncertainties of such proceedings, including those brought by regulators or other governmental authorities, the ultimate cost to the Group of resolving such proceedings may exceed current litigation provisions and any excess may be material to its operating results for any particular period, depending, in part, upon the operating results for such period.

This document contains statements that constitute forward-looking statements. In addition, in the future we, and others on our behalf, may make statements that constitute forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements may include, without limitation, statements relating to the following:

■ our plans, targets or goals;

Words such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends” and “plans” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. We do not intend to update these forward-looking statements.

By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, and risks exist that predictions, forecasts, projections and other outcomes described or implied in forward-looking statements will not be achieved. We caution you that a number of important factors could cause results to differ materially from the plans, targets, goals, expectations, estimates and intentions expressed in such forward-looking statements. These factors include:

■ the ability to maintain sufficient liquidity and access capital markets;

■ market volatility and interest rate fluctuations and developments affecting interest rate levels;

■ the strength of the global economy in general and the strength of the economies of the countries in which we conduct our operations, in particular the risk of continued slow economic recovery or downturn in the EU, the US or other developed countries or in emerging markets in 2019 and beyond;

■ the direct and indirect impacts of deterioration or slow recovery in residential and commercial real estate markets;

■ adverse rating actions by credit rating agencies in respect of us, sovereign issuers, structured credit products or other credit-related exposures;

■ the ability to achieve our strategic goals, including those related to our targets and financial goals;

■ the ability of counterparties to meet their obligations to us;

■ the effects of, and changes in, fiscal, monetary, exchange rate, trade and tax policies, as well as currency fluctuations;

■ political and social developments, including war, civil unrest or terrorist activity;

■ the possibility of foreign exchange controls, expropriation, nationalization or confiscation of assets in countries in which we conduct our operations;

■ operational factors such as systems failure, human error, or the failure to implement procedures properly;

■ the risk of cyber attacks, information or security breaches or technology failures on our business or operations;

■ the adverse resolution of litigation, regulatory proceedings and other contingencies;

■ actions taken by regulators with respect to our business and practices and possible resulting changes to our business organization, practices and policies in countries in which we conduct our operations;

■ the effects of changes in laws, regulations or accounting or tax standards, policies or practices in countries in which we conduct our operations;

■ the potential effects of changes in our legal entity structure;

■ competition or changes in our competitive position in geographic and business areas in which we conduct our operations;

■ the ability to retain and recruit qualified personnel;

■ the ability to maintain our reputation and promote our brand;

■ the ability to increase market share and control expenses;

■ technological changes;

■ the timely development and acceptance of our new products and services and the perceived overall value of these products and services by users;

■ acquisitions, including the ability to integrate acquired businesses successfully, and divestitures, including the ability to sell non-core assets; and

■ other unforeseen or unexpected events and our success at managing these and the risks involved in the foregoing.

We caution you that the foregoing list of important factors is not exclusive.
