Ad hoc announcement pursuant to article 53 LR
Credit Suisse posts strong pre-tax income of CHF 1.0 bn, up 26% YoY, and reinforces its strong capital base with a CET1 ratio of 14.4%
 
"Credit Suisse reported strong third quarter pre-tax income and a CET1 ratio of 14.4 percent.
 
Wealth Management businesses returned to robust net new assets and higher transaction revenues sequentially, while recurring commissions & fees and client business volumes demonstrated strong year on year momentum. Our Swiss Universal Bank had a record1 third quarter performance. Our Asia Pacific business had a resilient performance notwithstanding deleveraging by clients and we continue to invest in the region, including in relationship managers and building-out our mainland China presence. Our Investment Bank delivered solid profitability driven by strong performance across Advisory, Capital Markets, Securitized Products and Equity Derivatives. Asset Management reported a further improved underlying performance driven across all revenues lines.
 
We have also taken decisive actions to strengthen our overall risk & controls foundation, continued our remediation efforts on the Supply Chain Finance Funds matter, with our priority to return cash to investors, and made significant progress in resolving legacy issues. Our objectives are clear: we want to become a stronger, more customer-centric bank that puts risk management at the very core of its DNA to deliver sustainable growth for investors, clients and colleagues.

Highlights for the third quarter 2021

Strong pre-tax income growth year on year, together with more conservative risk appetite, driven by solid revenue growth and a net release of CHF 144 mn in provision for credit losses, partly offset by additional costs, including in relation to longstanding litigation issues

- Net income attributable to shareholders of CHF 434 mn, down 21% year on year driven by an elevated effective tax rate
- Reported pre-tax income of CHF 1.0 bn, up 26% year on year, including a gain of CHF 235 mn relating to Archegos, mainly due to a release of provisions pertaining to an assessment of the future recoverability of receivables, and a CHF 129 mn gain related to our equity investment in Allfunds Group. These gains were offset by major litigation charges of CHF 564 mn4, including CHF 214 mn in connection with settlements we announced last month relating to the Mozambique matter and litigation provisions in connection with certain other legacy matters, including mortgage-related matters, and in connection with the Supply Chain Finance Funds (SCFF) matter. We also recorded a further impairment relating to York Capital Management of CHF 113 mn in AM
- On an adjusted basis, excluding significant items and Archegos*, record5 third quarter pre-tax income of CHF 1.4 bn, up 25% year on year
- On an adjusted basis, excluding significant items and Archegos*, net revenues were up 6% year on year driven by higher net revenues across IB, AM and SUB, partly offset by lower net revenues in IWM

- Reported operating expenses of CHF 4.6 bn, up 6% year on year, primarily due to higher major litigation provisions and professional services fees. Adjusted operating expenses, excluding significant items and Archegos*, up 2% year on year, with continued investments in strategic initiatives, partially offset by lower compensation and benefits
- Net release of provision for credit losses of CHF 144 mn relating primarily to a release of USD 202 mn (CHF 188 mn) pertaining to an assessment of the future recoverability of receivables related to Archegos in the IB
- Settlement with US, UK and Swiss regulators of legacy matters related to loan financing for Mozambique state enterprises and related securities transactions that took place between 2013 and 2016; concluded enforcement proceeding with Swiss regulator related to past observation activities
- Continued progress on remediation work on the SCFF matter. Returning cash to investors remains a priority; total cash paid out and current cash and cash equivalents of approximately USD 7.0 bn as of September 30, 2021
 
Strong capital position, stable Assets under Management (AuM), and Net New Assets (NNA) of CHF 5.6 bn
- Strong capital base, with CET1 ratio at 14.4% as of the end of 3Q21, up from 13.7% as of the end of 2Q21 benefitting from strong income generation and risk reduction across businesses; Tier 1 leverage ratio at 6.1%; CET1 leverage ratio at 4.3%
- Group AuM of over CHF 1.6 trn at the end of 3Q21, up approximately 10% year on year; NNA of CHF 5.6 bn with NNA in APAC, SUB and IWM offsetting net asset outflows in AM
- Wealth Management AuM of CHF 843 bn, up approximately 9% year on year, supporting recurring commissions and fees’ growth of 14% year on year

Highlights for the nine months of 2021
- Despite challenges year to date, we concluded our nine months ending September 2021 with a pre-tax income of CHF 1.1 bn, down 70% year on year due mainly to the charges incurred in relation to Archegos of CHF 4.8 bn (USD 5.1 bn)
- On an adjusted basis, excluding significant items and Archegos*, pre-tax income was CHF 6.3 bn, up 78% year on year, driven by a strong contribution from IB, SUB, APAC and AM; as well as lower operating expenses, down 3%
- On an adjusted basis, excluding significant items and Archegos*, net revenues were up 8% year on year, at CHF 18.2 bn, driven by growth in net revenues across IB, AM, and APAC, slightly offset by lower revenues in IWM
- NNA of CHF 29.3 bn compared to CHF 33.6 bn in 9M20 across the Group; NNA of CHF 13.3 bn across Wealth Management businesses in 9M21, compared to CHF 18.3 bn in 9M20

Outlook

Overall, we expect to see a further reduction in market volumes for the remainder of 2021 as the trading environment normalizes compared to the elevated levels seen in 2020, particularly as central banks begin to signal the end of the monetary support provided during the COVID-19 crisis.

In Wealth Management, we expect recurring commissions and fees to continue to benefit from higher levels of AuM as well as increased levels of mandate penetration. With regard to transaction-based revenues in Wealth Management and the Investment Bank, we would expect revenue performance to reflect the normalization of trading conditions as well as the usual seasonal slowdown in market activity. The exit from the majority of Prime Services6 is expected to also reduce Equity Sales & Trading revenues. We would, though, expect our capital markets and advisory revenues to continue to benefit from the strong pipelines in both ECM and M&A. As noted in our strategy update, we expect an impairment in 4Q21 of ~CHF 1.6 bn in respect of the remaining Investment Bank-related goodwill on our balance sheet, which primarily relates to the Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette acquisition in 2000, as a consequence of which we would expect to report a net loss in 4Q21. It should be noted that this is a non-cash charge, which will neither reduce the Group’s capital ratios, nor its tangible book value.

As we noted at the end of 1Q21, we would expect the effective tax rate to remain significantly elevated for the final quarter of the year.

Supply Chain Finance Funds Matter Update

The Board of Directors commissioned an externally-led investigation into the SCFF matter, which is being supervised by a special committee. This continues to be a focus for the bank, and work is ongoing. Credit Suisse recorded litigation provisions in connection with the SCFF matter in 3Q21. As we have disclosed in our Financial Report for 3Q21, the Group continues to assess the potential for recovery on behalf of the investors in the funds, and further analyze new, pending or threatened proceedings. As previously reported, the resolution of this matter, the timing of which is difficult to predict, could cause the Group to incur material losses.

Media Release
Zurich, November 4, 2021


In terms of an update, along with the fifth cash payment made at the end of September 2021, total cash paid out and current cash and cash equivalents are at approximately 70% of the funds’ net asset value (NAV) as of February 25, 2021. In terms of cash payments, investors have received approximately USD 6.3 bn as of September 30, 2021.

We continue to make good progress on our non-focus areas and have reduced the outstanding exposure of notes by 86% of the February 25, 2021 exposure level. Non-focus areas currently account for USD 0.6 bn of the NAV as of February 25, 2021.

In terms of our focus areas, we continue to pursue all available recovery avenues, and they currently account for approximately USD 2.2 bn of the NAV as of February 25, 2021. Regarding GFG Australia, we received an initial payment of approximately USD 96 mn, and GFG Australia has agreed to repay the remaining principal of approximately USD 178 mn, including interest, by mid-20237.

We continue to file insurance claims through the filing process with Greensill Bank; further claims are being prepared.

Finally, we are actively engaged with private bank investors in the SCFF to offer a waiver on certain fees for the bank’s services.

3Q21 Results – Review of Performance

We posted a pre-tax income of CHF 1.0 bn in 3Q21 benefitting from a positive impact relating to Archegos of CHF 235 mn, mainly due to a release of provision for credit losses pertaining to an assessment of the future recoverability of receivables, and gains on our equity investment in Allfunds Group of CHF 129 mn, partially offset by major litigation charges of CHF 564 mn, including CHF 214 mn related to the Mozambique matter as well as provisions for certain other legacy matters, including mortgage-related matters, and in connection with the SCFF matter. We also recorded a further impairment of CHF 113 mn relating to the valuation of our non-controlling interest in York Capital Management. Our net income attributable to shareholders of CHF 434 mn continued to be impacted by a significantly elevated effective tax rate, as previously guided, mainly due to only a partial tax recognition of the Archegos loss. We recorded a release in provision for credit losses of CHF 144 mn, which includes a release pertaining to an assessment of the future recoverability of receivables related to Archegos, partly offset by an increase in CECL-related provision for credit losses. The underlying business results8 were strong, despite our more conservative approach to risk. Our adjusted net revenues, excluding significant items and Archegos*, of CHF 5.5 bn, were up 6% year on year, and our adjusted pre-tax income, excluding significant items and Archegos*, of CHF 1.4 bn, was up 25%.

Our Wealth Management-related businesses reported net revenues of CHF 3.3 bn, up 3% year on year; on an adjusted basis, excluding significant items*, net revenues were up 4%. We saw strong momentum in recurring commissions and fees, up 12%, benefitting from higher client business volumes and an increased mandate penetration at 30%, up from 28% in 3Q20. We also recorded higher transaction- and performance-based revenues, up 6%. Net interest income was down 4%, impacted by lower deposit and loan margins, reflecting a reduction in risk appetite and deleveraging by clients, primarily in APAC.

Our Investment Bank delivered a solid underlying performance9 despite continued discipline in risk and capital management with reductions to RWA and leverage exposure in Prime Services. Net revenues of USD 2.5 bn were up 10% year on year; IB reported results included a release of provision for credit losses of USD 202 mn (CHF 188 mn) as well as a USD 24 mn (CHF 23 mn) benefit to revenues and USD 26 mn (CHF 24 mn) net cost recovery in operating expenses relating to Archegos. Adjusted net revenues, excluding Archegos*, were up 9% driven by strong client activity across Capital Markets, M&A and Equity Derivatives. Fixed Income Sales & Trading revenues were down 13% year on year and Equity Sales & Trading revenues, excluding Archegos*, were down 9% due to continued de-risking in Prime Services. Excluding Prime Services, Equity Sales & Trading revenues substantially increased driven by robust Equity Derivatives performance and higher Cash Equities results. Capital Markets revenues were up 14% and Advisory revenues were up significantly, by 182%, year on year. Revenues in Global Trading Solutions, our collaboration between the IB and our wealth management businesses, declined, in part due to our reduced capital usage and more conservative risk appetite coupled with lower volumes and volatility compared to an exceptional comparable in 3Q20.

Operating expenses for the Group of CHF 4.6 bn increased by 6% year on year, mainly driven by higher litigation provisions and professional services fees; adjusted operating expenses, excluding significant items and Archegos*, increased by 2% in part due to continued strategic investments across our businesses, including our investments in IT infrastructure, the build out of our mainland China business and the expansion of Private Banking coverage teams in APAC, as well as in risk and controls.

The Group reported AuM totaling CHF 1.6 trn at the end of 3Q21, up approximately 10% year on year, with a mandate penetration of approximately 30%, up 2 percentage points compared to 3Q20, supporting our recurring commissions and fees. We saw NNA of CHF 5.6 bn in 3Q21, compared to NNA of CHF 18.0 bn in 3Q20 and net asset outflows of CHF 4.7 bn in 2Q21.

We continued to improve our capital ratios with a CET1 ratio of 14.4% at the end of 3Q21, compared to 13.7% at the end of 2Q21, and a CET1 leverage ratio of 4.3%, compared to 4.2% at the end of 2Q21. Our CET1 and leverage ratios benefitted from strong income generation and risk reduction across businesses.

9M21 Results – Review of Performance

The underlying resilience of our franchise, despite the impact of both the Archegos and SCFF matters, major litigation provisions, and our more conservative approach to risk and capital management, particularly in the Investment Bank, is evident in our results for the first nine months of 2021.

On an adjusted basis, excluding significant items and Archegos*, our net revenues were up 8% year on year, at CHF 18.2 bn, driven by revenue growth in IB, AM, and APAC, partially offset by lower revenues in IWM.

In 9M21, our adjusted pre-tax income, excluding significant items and Archegos*, increased 78% year on year, to CHF 6.3 bn, driven by growth in adjusted pre-tax income, excluding significant items and Archegos*, across most divisions, except for IWM where there was a 6% decrease year on year. It also reflects the net release in CECL-related provision for credit losses of CHF 207 mn and lower adjusted operating expenses, excluding significant items and Archegos*, down 3%, mainly reflecting lower compensation expenses partly offset by investments in strategic initiatives, including the hiring of relationship managers in APAC as well as investments in risk and controls.

Our Wealth Management-related businesses reported net revenues of CHF 10.8 bn, up 3% year on year. On an adjusted basis, excluding significant items*, net revenues were up 2%, driven by higher recurring commissions and fees, up 10% year on year, as well as higher transaction- and performance-based revenues, up 3%, partly offset by lower net interest income, down 6%.

Our Investment Bank reported net revenues of USD 8.1 bn, up 10% year on year. Our adjusted net revenues, excluding Archegos*, were up 17% reflecting the strong revenue environment. Fixed Income Sales & Trading revenues were down 6% year on year. Equity Sales & Trading revenues were down 25% year on year, however, excluding Archegos*, they were up 1%10. Capital Markets revenues were up 69% due to robust markets and increased client activity. Advisory revenues were up 50% due to a significant increase in M&A activity.

NNA for 9M21 were CHF 29.3 bn compared to CHF 33.6 bn in 9M20, with contributions from SUB of CHF 8.2 bn, IWM of CHF 8.3 bn, AM of CHF 9.9 bn and APAC of CHF 1.8 bn.

- On an adjusted basis, excluding significant items*, SUB had a record11 third quarter pre-tax income of CHF 586 mn, up 24% year on year, driven by higher net revenues up 5%, with stable operating expenses.

- Reported net revenues of CHF 1.4 bn were up 7% year on year and included a CHF 39 mn gain on our equity investment in Allfunds Group. Adjusted net revenues, excluding significant items,* were up 5% driven by increases across all major revenue categories with recurring commissions and fees up 11% supported by record12 AuM levels and higher revenues from improved performance in our investment in Swisscard.

3Q21
- On an adjusted basis, excluding significant items*, IWM recorded pre-tax income of CHF 176 mn, down 25% year on year, driven by lower net revenues down 3%, as well as higher operating expenses up 5% due in part to higher costs relating to our IT infrastructures and sustainability initiatives
- Stable reported net revenues, of CHF 829 mn, included a CHF 52 mn gain on our equity investment in Allfunds Group and a loss of CHF 35 mn relating to a business sale. Adjusted net revenues, excluding significant items*, of CHF 812 mn, were down 3%. This was driven by lower net interest income, down 13%, due to an adverse impact on deposit income from lower interest rates, as well as lower transaction and performance-based revenues, down 7%, due to lower client activity and GTS revenues in less volatile markets; additionally, 3Q20 included a revaluation gain on an investment of CHF 23 mn. However, higher recurring commissions and fees, up 13%, were driven by higher client business volume
- NNA of CHF 1.4 bn with strong inflows in Western Europe
- Client business volume of CHF 558 bn, up 13% year on year reflecting higher AuM of CHF 396 bn

9M21
- On an adjusted basis, excluding significant items*, pre-tax income was down 6% year on year at CHF 745 mn, mainly reflecting lower net revenues, which were only partly offset by lower operating expenses, down 4%, and a net release of provision for credit losses of CHF 13 mn
- Reported net revenues were stable compared to 9M20. Adjusted net revenues, excluding significant items*, of CHF 2.5 bn, were down 8% year on year, driven by lower transaction- and performance-based revenues, down 16%, mainly due to lower GTS revenues in less volatile markets, lower structured products revenues, and lower fees from foreign exchange client business as well as lower net interest income, down 15%, partially due to lower USD interest rates. This was partly offset by higher recurring commissions and fees, up 10%, with higher client business volume
- NNA of CHF 8.3 bn, reflecting an annualized growth rate of 3%

3Q21
- On an adjusted basis, excluding significant items*, pre-tax income, up 5% year on year at USD 206 mn, was resilient despite volatility in Greater China markets and higher investment costs. Provision for credit losses significantly decreased, reflecting lower specific provisions; no impairments in China real estate. Adjusted operating expenses, excluding significant items*, was up 5% year on year, mainly due to our continued relationship manager hiring coupled with other investments, particularly in China, risk and controls and sustainability initiatives
- Reported net revenues of USD 837 mn, up 5% year on year, included a gain on the equity investment in Allfunds Group of USD 42 mn. Excluding significant items*, adjusted net revenues at USD 795 mn were stable, as lower net interest income was offset by higher recurring commissions and fees and transaction-based revenues. Net interest income was down 14%, reflecting a reduction in risk appetite and deleveraging by clients and lower loan and deposit margins. Recurring commissions and fees were up 19%, reflecting strong mandate and fund volumes and continued growth in mandate penetration. Transaction-based revenues were also up 4%14 due in part to higher fees from increased M&A activity, partly offset by weaker private client activity and lower revenues from GTS
- NNA of USD 3.2 bn achieved notwithstanding significant deleveraging and market-driven client outflows
- Client business volume of USD 380 bn, up 5% year on year

9M21
- On an adjusted basis, excluding significant items*, APAC recorded higher pre-tax income of USD 915 mn, up 52% year on year, driven by higher net revenues and significantly lower provision for credit losses, offsetting higher operating expenses
- Higher reported net revenues, up 15% year on year; adjusted net revenues, excluding significant items*, of USD 2.7 bn, were up 8%, driven by higher transaction-based revenues, up 16%, and higher recurring commission and fees, up 22%, reflecting higher mandates and funds volumes. These were partly offset by lower net interest income, down 8%, driven by lower deposit and loan margins
- NNA of USD 1.9 bn, including USD 6.7 bn of net asset outflows in 2Q21

3Q21
- Strong adjusted pre-tax income, excluding Archegos*, of USD 582 mn, up 25% year on year, with an adjusted return on regulatory capital (RoRC), excluding Archegos*, of 14%, resulting in record third quarter performance15, reflecting strength of the franchise, continued disciplined risk and capital management as well as constructive market conditions
- Reported provision for credit losses decreased due to a release of USD 202 mn related to Archegos in 3Q21; excluding this release, the adjusted* provision for credit losses, of USD 20 mn, increased due to CECL-related adjustments
- Despite significantly lower year on year capital usage, reported net revenues of USD 2.5 bn, were up 10% year on year; adjusted net revenues, excluding Archegos*, of USD 2.4 bn, up 9%, were driven by record16 third quarter revenues across several businesses including Capital Markets, M&A, Equity Derivatives, Securitized Products and Cash Equities
- Revenues in our Fixed Income Sales & Trading business were down 13% year on year, as continued outperformance in securitized products revenues, particularly in our number 1 ranked Asset Finance franchise17 and non-agency trading business, was offset by normalization in Emerging Markets, Macro and Global Credit Products compared to elevated volumes and volatility in 3Q20
- Equity Sales & Trading revenues, excluding Archegos*, declined by 9% year on year due to continued de-risking in Prime Services; excluding Prime Services, revenues substantially increased driven by a robust Equity Derivatives performance as well as higher Cash Equities revenues. Our Capital Markets revenues were up 14% driven by a strong ECM performance as well as a rebound in leverage finance activity; finally Advisory revenues were up 182% driven by very strong M&A fees which resulted in the best quarterly performance since 201818
- Continued disciplined capital management with RWA down USD 12 bn year on year due to reductions in the corporate bank and Prime Services, and leverage exposure down USD 38 bn, mainly driven by a reduction in Prime Services

9M21
- Significantly higher adjusted pre-tax income, excluding Archegos*, of USD 3.4 bn resulted in an adjusted return on regulatory capital, excluding Archegos*, of 26% for 9M21. The reported pre-tax loss of USD 1.8 bn included losses from Archegos of approximately USD 5.1 bn
- Adjusted net revenues, excluding Archegos*, of USD 8.6 bn, up 17% year on year, resulting in a strong performance in 9M21 with notable results in capital markets, advisory and securitized products, while adjusted operating expenses, excluding Archegos*, were flat

3Q21
- On adjusted basis, excluding significant items*, pre-tax income was up significantly year on year at CHF 115 mn, driven by higher net revenues, up 28%, reflecting increases in investment & partnership income, management fees and performance & placement revenues. Adjusted operating expenses, excluding significant items*, were up 2%, mainly due to higher expenses related to the SCFF matter. Reported pre-tax income includes a further impairment of CHF 113 mn relating to the valuation of our non-controlling interest in York Capital Management
- Reported net revenues were down 9% year on year due to the impairment loss relating to York Capital Management; strong adjusted net revenues, excluding significant items*, of CHF 392 mn driven by significantly increased investment & partnership income, higher management fees up 11%, reflecting higher AuM, and improved performance and placement revenues up 48%, mainly due to higher placement fees
- Net asset outflows of CHF 1.7 bn, driven by outflows from Index, Credit, Insurance-linked Strategies and Fixed Income; AuM of CHF 475 bn

9M21
- On an adjusted basis, excluding significant items*, AM had significantly higher pre-tax income, year on year, of CHF 338 mn compared to CHF 77 mn, driven by higher net revenues, partly offset by higher operating expenses up 2%
- Reported net revenues of CHF 1.1 bn, down 4% year on year, mainly due to the gains related to the InvestLab transfer in 9M20 along with the impairment loss relating to York Capital Management in 9M21. Strong adjusted net revenues, excluding significant items*, up 30% year on year, driven by a significant increase in performance and placement revenues due to higher performance fees and carried interest, higher placement fees, and positive investment-related gains compared to 9M20. Also driven by higher management fees, up 10%, on a higher average AuM, as well as higher investment & partnership income up 74%
- NNA of CHF 9.9 bn at annualized growth rate of 3%

This document contains select information from the full 3Q21 Financial Report and 3Q21 Results Presentation slides that Credit Suisse believes is of particular interest to media professionals. The complete 3Q21 Financial Report and 3Q21 Results Presentation slides, which have been distributed simultaneously, contain more comprehensive information about our results and operations for the reporting quarter, as well as important information about our reporting methodology and some of the terms used in these documents. The complete 3Q21 Financial Report and 3Q21 Results Presentation slides are not incorporated by reference into this document.

We may not achieve all of the expected benefits of our strategic initiatives. Factors beyond our control, including but not limited to the market and economic conditions (including macroeconomic and other challenges and uncertainties, for example, resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic), changes in laws, rules or regulations and other challenges discussed in our public filings, could limit our ability to achieve some or all of the expected benefits of these initiatives.

In particular, the terms “Estimate”, “Illustrative”, “Expectation”, “Ambition”, “Objective”, “Outlook”, “Goal”, “Commitment” and “Aspiration” are not intended to be viewed as targets or projections, nor are they considered to be Key Performance Indicators. All such estimates, illustrations, expectations, ambitions, objectives, outlooks, goals, commitments and aspirations are subject to a large number of inherent risks, assumptions and uncertainties, many of which are completely outside of our control.

19 pandemic, political uncertainty, changes in tax policies, regulatory changes, changes in levels of client activity as a result of any of the foregoing and other factors. Accordingly, this information should not be relied on for any purpose. We do not intend to update these estimates, illustrations, expectations, ambitions, objectives, outlooks, goals, commitments or aspirations.

In preparing this document, management has made estimates and assumptions that affect the numbers presented. Actual results may differ. Annualized numbers do not take into account variations in operating results, seasonality and other factors and may not be indicative of actual, full-year results. Figures throughout this document may also be subject to rounding adjustments. All opinions and views constitute judgments as of the date of writing without regard to the date on which the reader may receive or access the information. This information is subject to change at any time without notice and we do not intend to update this information.

Return on tangible equity, a non-GAAP financial measure, is calculated as annualized net income attributable to shareholders divided by average tangible shareholders’ equity. Tangible shareholders’ equity, a non-GAAP financial measure, is calculated by deducting goodwill and other intangible assets from total shareholders’ equity as presented in our balance sheet. Management believes that return on tangible equity is meaningful as it is a measure used and relied upon by industry analysts and investors to assess valuations and capital adequacy. For end-3Q21, tangible shareholders’ equity excluded goodwill of CHF 4,615 million and other intangible assets of CHF 234 million from total shareholders’ equity of CHF 44,498 million as presented in our balance sheet. For end-2Q21, tangible shareholders’ equity excluded goodwill of CHF 4,588 million and other intangible assets of CHF 245 million from total shareholders’ equity of CHF 43,580 million as presented in our balance sheet. For end-3Q20, tangible shareholders’ equity excluded goodwill of CHF 4,577 million and other intangible assets of CHF 256 million from total shareholders’ equity of CHF 45,740 million as presented in our balance sheet.

Beginning in 3Q21, the return on regulatory capital calculation has been updated to closer align with the actual capital and leverage ratio levels under which Credit Suisse operates, rather than the previously used minimum requirements set by regulators. Regulatory capital is calculated as the average of 13.5% of RWA and 4.25% of leverage exposure and return on regulatory capital, a non-GAAP financial measure, is calculated using income/(loss) after tax and assumes a tax rate of 30% for periods prior to 2020 and 25% from 2020 onward. Prior periods have been restated. For the Investment Bank division, return on regulatory capital is based on US dollar denominated numbers. Return on regulatory capital excluding certain items included in our reported results is calculated using results excluding such items, applying the same methodology. For periods in 2020, for purposes of calculating Group return on regulatory capital, leverage exposure excludes cash held at central banks, after adjusting for the dividend paid in 2020.

Credit Suisse is subject to the Basel III framework, as implemented in Switzerland, as well as Swiss legislation and regulations for systemically important banks, 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. Credit Suisse has adopted the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) leverage ratio framework, as issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) and implemented in Switzerland by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority FINMA (FINMA).

Unless otherwise noted, all CET1 ratio, Tier 1 leverage ratio, risk-weighted assets and leverage exposure figures in this document are as of the end of the respective period.

Unless otherwise noted, leverage exposure is based on the BIS leverage ratio framework and consists of period-end balance sheet assets and prescribed regulatory adjustments. The tier 1 leverage ratio and CET1 leverage ratio are calculated as BIS tier 1 capital and CET1 capital, respectively, divided by period end leverage exposure.

Client business volume includes assets under management, custody assets (including assets under custody and commercial assets) and net loans.

Mandate penetration reflects advisory and discretionary mandates volumes as a percentage of assets under management, excluding those from the external asset manager business.

assumptions underlying any such statements.
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 and that the COVID-19 pandemic creates significantly greater uncertainty about forward-looking statements in addition to the factors that generally affect our business. These factors include:
the ability to maintain sufficient liquidity and access capital markets;
market volatility, increases in inflation and interest rate fluctuations or developments affecting interest rate levels, including the persistence of a low or negative interest rate environment;
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 negative impacts of COVID-19 on the global economy and financial markets and the risk of continued slow economic recovery or downturn in the EU, the US or other developed countries or in emerging markets in 2021 and beyond;
the emergence of widespread health emergencies, infectious diseases or pandemics, such as COVID-19, and the actions that may be taken by governmental authorities to contain the outbreak or to counter its impact;
potential risks and uncertainties relating to the severity of impacts from COVID-19 and the duration of the pandemic, including potential material adverse effects on our business, financial condition and results of operations;
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, ambitions and financial goals;
the ability of counterparties to meet their obligations to us and the adequacy of our allowance for credit losses;
the effects of, and changes in, fiscal, monetary, exchange rate, trade and tax policies;
the effects of currency fluctuations, including the related impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations due to moves in foreign exchange rates;
political, social and environmental developments, including war, civil unrest or terrorist activity and climate change;
the ability to appropriately address social, environmental and sustainability concerns that may arise from our business activities;
the effects of, and the uncertainty arising from, the UK’s withdrawal from the EU;
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 reputation, business or operations, the risk of which is increased while large portions of our employees work remotely;
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 expected discontinuation of LIBOR and other interbank offered rates and the transition to alternative reference rates;
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 instituted by us, our counterparties or competitors;

The tier 1 leverage ratio and CET1 leverage ratio are calculated as BIS tier 1 capital and CET1 capital, respectively, divided by period-end leverage exposure. Unless otherwise noted, for periods in 2020, leverage exposure excludes cash held at central banks, after adjusting for the dividend paid in 2020.SourcesCertain material in this presentation has been prepared by Credit Suisse on the basis of publicly available information, internally developed data and other third-party sources believed to be reliable.

 Disclaimer  2  November 4, 2021  This is intended as a supplement and should be read in connection with the 3Q21 Credit Suisse Results Presentation slides.This material does not purport to contain all of the information that you may wish to consider. This material is not to be relied upon as such or used in substitution for the exercise of independent judgment. Estimates and assumptionsIn preparing this presentation, management has made estimates and assumptions that affect the numbers presented. Actual results may differ. Annualized numbers do not take into account variations in operating results, seasonality and other factors and may not be indicative of actual, full-year results. Figures throughout this presentation may also be subject to rounding adjustments. All opinions and views constitute judgments as of the date of writing without regard to the date on which the reader may receive or access the information. This information is subject to change at any time without notice and we do not intend to update this information.Statement regarding non-GAAP financial measuresThis presentation contains non-GAAP financial measures, including results excluding certain items included in our reported results as well as return on regulatory capital and return on tangible equity (which is based on tangible shareholders’ equity). Further details and information needed to reconcile such non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable measures under US GAAP can be found in this presentation, which is available on our website at www.credit-suisse.com.Statement regarding capital, liquidity and leverageCredit Suisse is subject to the Basel III framework, as implemented in Switzerland, as well as Swiss legislation and regulations for systemically important banks, 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. Credit Suisse has adopted the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) leverage ratio framework, as issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) and implemented in Switzerland by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority FINMA.Unless otherwise noted, leverage exposure is based on the BIS leverage ratio framework and consists of period-end balance sheet assets and prescribed regulatory adjustments. The tier 1 leverage ratio and CET1 leverage ratio are calculated as BIS tier 1 capital and CET1 capital, respectively, divided by period-end leverage exposure. Swiss leverage ratios are measured on the same period-end basis as the leverage exposure for the BIS leverage ratio. Unless otherwise noted, for periods in 2020, leverage exposure excludes cash held at central banks, after adjusting for the dividend paid in 2020.

 Notes  13  November 4, 2021  General notesThroughout this presentation and the 3Q21 Results presentation rounding differences may occurUnless otherwise noted, all CET1 capital, CET1 ratio, Tier 1 leverage ratio, risk-weighted assets and leverage exposure figures shown in these presentations are as of the end of the respective period and, for periods prior to 2019, on a “look-through” basisGross and net margins are shown in basis pointsGross margin = net revenues annualized / average AuM; net margin = pre-tax income annualized / average AuM. Net margin excluding certain significant items, as disclosed herein, is calculated excluding those items applying the same methodologyMandates reflect advisory and discretionary mandate volumesMandate penetration reflects advisory and discretionary mandate volumes as a percentage of AuM, excluding those from the external asset manager businessUnless otherwise noted, FX impact is calculated by converting the CHF amount of net revenues, provision for credit losses and operating expenses for 2021 back to the original currency on a monthly basis at the respective spot FX rate. The respective amounts are then converted back to CHF applying the average 2020 FX rate from the period against which the FX impact is measured. Average FX rates apply a straight line average of monthly FX rates for major currenciesWealth Management businesses include SUB PC, IWM and APAC and related figures refer to their combined resultsWealth Management-related businesses include SUB, IWM, APAC and AM and related figures refer to their combined resultsClient Business Volume includes assets under management, custody assets and net loansCustody assets includes assets under custody and commercial assetsGreensill refers to Greensill Capital (UK) Ltd. or one of its affiliates Specific notes† Beginning in 3Q21, the return on regulatory capital calculation has been updated to closer align with the actual capital and leverage ratio levels under which Credit Suisse operates, rather than the previously used minimum requirements set by regulators. Regulatory capital is calculated as the average of 13.5% of RWA and 4.25% of leverage exposure and return on regulatory capital, a non-GAAP financial measure, is calculated using income/(loss) after tax and assumes a tax rate of 30% for periods prior to 2020 and 25% from 2020 onward. Prior periods have been restated. For the Investment Bank, return on regulatory capital is based on US dollar denominated numbers. Return on regulatory capital excluding certain items included in our reported results is calculated using results excluding such items, applying the same methodology.‡ Return on tangible equity, a non-GAAP financial measure, is calculated as annualized net income attributable to shareholders divided by average tangible shareholders’ equity. Tangible shareholders’ equity, a non-GAAP financial measure, is calculated by deducting goodwill and other intangible assets from total shareholders’ equity as presented in our balance sheet. Tangible book value, a non-GAAP financial measure, is equal to tangible shareholders’ equity. Tangible book value per share, a non-GAAP financial measure, is calculated by dividing tangible shareholders' equity by total number of shares outstanding. Management believes that tangible shareholders’ equity/tangible book value, return on tangible equity and tangible book value per share are meaningful as they are measures used and relied upon by industry analysts and investors to assess valuations and capital adequacy.For end-3Q20, tangible shareholders’ equity excluded goodwill of CHF 4,577 mn and other intangible assets of CHF 256 mn from total shareholders’ equity of CHF 45,740 mn as presented in our balance sheet. For end-2Q21, tangible shareholders’ equity excluded goodwill of CHF 4,588 mn and other intangible assets of CHF 245 mn from total shareholders’ equity of CHF 43,580 mn as presented in our balance sheet.For end-3Q21, tangible shareholders’ equity excluded goodwill of CHF 4,615 mn and other intangible assets of CHF 234 mn from total shareholders’ equity of CHF 44,498 mn as presented in our balance sheet.AbbreviationsACL = Allowance for credit losses; Adj. = Adjusted; AM = Asset Management; APAC = Asia Pacific; AuM = Assets under Management; bps = basis points; C&IC = Corporate & Institutional Clients; CC = Corporate Center; CECL = Current Expected Credit Losses; CET1 = Common Equity Tier 1; Corp. = Corporate; Ctr. = Center; ECM = Equity Capital Markets; excl. = excluding; FINMA = Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority; FX = Foreign Exchange; GAAP = Generally Accepted Accounting Principles; GTS = Global Trading Solutions; HQLA = High Quality Liquid Assets; IB = Investment Bank; IWM = International Wealth Management; LE = Leverage exposure; LTM = Last twelve months; M&A = Mergers & Acquisitions; NAB = Neue Aargauer Bank; NAV = Net asset value; NNA = Net New Assets; PC = Private Clients; pp. = percentage points; prov. = provisions; PTI = Pre-tax income; QoQ = Quarter on Quarter; rev. = revenues; RM = Relationship Manager; RoRC = Return on Regulatory Capital; RWA = Risk-weighted assets; SCFF = Supply Chain Finance Funds; sign. = significant; SUB = Swiss Universal Bank; vs. = versus; WM = Wealth Management; YoY = Year on year
