Credit Suisse reporting structure
Effective January 1, 2023, Credit Suisse includes the results of our five reporting
segments, including the Capital Release Unit, and the Corporate Center. Core does
not include the Capital Release Unit.
1Q23 results
In 1Q23, we reported net income attributable to shareholders of CHF 12,432 million, compared to a net loss attributable to shareholders of CHF 273 million in 1Q22 and a net loss attributable to shareholders of CHF 1,393 million in 4Q22. 1Q23 primarily reflected the write-down to zero of CHF 15 billion
of additional tier 1 capital notes as ordered by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority
FINMA (FINMA). In 1Q23, we reported income before taxes of CHF 12,764 million, compared to a loss before taxes of CHF 428 million in 1Q22 and a loss before taxes of CHF 1,315 million in 4Q22. Adjusted loss before taxes in 1Q23 was CHF 1,316 million compared to adjusted income before taxes of CHF 300 million in 1Q22 and an adjusted loss before taxes of CHF 1,015 million in 4Q22.
> Refer to “Credit Suisse and UBS to merge” in “Other information” for further information
relating to the merger announcement and the additional tier 1 capital notes write-down.
In 1Q23, and described further below, Credit Suisse experienced significant withdrawals
of cash deposits, non-renewal of maturing time deposits and net asset outflows across
Wealth Management, Swiss Bank and Asset Management. The corresponding reduction in
assets under management and deposits is expected to lead to reduced net interest income
and recurring commissions and fees. In particular, this will likely lead to a substantial
loss in Wealth Management in 2Q23.
In light of the merger announcement, the adverse revenue impact from the previously
disclosed exit from non-core businesses and exposures, restructuring charges and funding
costs, Credit Suisse would also expect the Investment Bank and the Group to report
a substantial loss before taxes in 2Q23 and 2023. The Group’s actual results will
depend on a number of factors, including the performance of the Investment Bank and
Wealth Management divisions; deposit or net asset flows; the continued exit of non-core
positions; goodwill, software and other impairments; litigation; regulatory actions;
credit spreads and related funding costs; the usage and availability of the Swiss
National Bank (SNB) liquidity facilities; the impact of continued voluntary and involuntary
employee attrition; and the outcome of certain other items, including potential real
estate sales. We are taking proactive measures to protect our client franchise, manage
risks and facilitate operational stability.
Net revenues
In 1Q23, we reported net revenues of CHF 18,467 million, which increased 319% compared to 1Q22, driven by higher net revenues in the Corporate Center and in the
Capital Release Unit, partially offset by lower net revenues in the Investment Bank,
Wealth Management, Swiss Bank and Asset Management. The increase in net revenues in
the Corporate Center was primarily driven by treasury results, which reflected the write-down of additional
tier 1 capital notes ordered by FINMA. The increase in the Capital Release Unit primarily reflected a gain of CHF 726 million from the sale of a significant part of the Securitized Products Group
(SPG) (Apollo transaction) to entities and funds managed by affiliates of Apollo Global
Management (collectively, Apollo), partially offset by a loss of revenues from businesses transferred from the Investment Bank, particularly from SPG. The decrease in the Investment Bank was driven by low client activity and less favorable conditions, particularly in our equity
sales and trading, capital markets and advisory franchises. The decrease in Wealth Management mainly reflected lower net interest income, lower
transaction- and performance-based revenues and lower recurring commissions and fees.
The decrease in the Swiss Bank reflected lower revenues across all major revenue categories.
The decrease in Asset Management was mainly driven by decreased investment and partnership
income and reduced management fees.
Compared to 4Q22, net revenues were significantly higher, primarily reflecting higher
net revenues in the Corporate Center, the Capital Release Unit and the Investment
Bank, partially offset by lower net revenues in Wealth Management, Asset Management
and Swiss Bank. The increase in the Corporate Center was primarily driven by treasury results, which reflected the write-down of additional
tier 1 capital notes. The increase in the Capital Release Unit mainly reflected the
gain on the Apollo transaction. Net revenues in the Investment Bank increased compared
to low levels in 4Q22 and included gains on increased buyback activity principally
in our structured notes portfolio across equities and fixed income at prices reflecting
significantly wider own credit spreads. The decrease in Wealth Management mainly reflected
lower other revenues and lower net interest income. The decrease in Asset Management
was driven by decreased investment and partnership income, partially offset by higher
performance and transaction revenues. The decrease in Swiss Bank was primarily driven
by lower other revenues and lower net interest income.
Provision for credit losses
In 1Q23, provision for credit losses of CHF 83 million were mainly related to CHF 40 million in the Swiss Bank, CHF 21 million in Wealth Management and CHF 18 million in the Investment Bank and reflected an increase in specific provisions and
an increase in non-specific provisions for expected credit losses compared to 1Q22.
Total operating expenses
Compared to 1Q22, total operating expenses of CHF 5,620 million increased 14%, mainly reflecting a goodwill impairment charge of CHF 1,324 million in 1Q23, which was mostly recognized in Wealth Management and increased restructuring
expenses, partially offset by lower general and administrative expenses and lower
compensation and benefits. 1Q23 included restructuring expenses of CHF 299 million. General and administrative expenses decreased 35%, mainly due to lower litigation expenses compared to 1Q22. Net litigation expenses
of CHF 703 million in 1Q22 were primarily related to developments in a number of previously
disclosed legal matters, mainly in the Corporate Center and Wealth Management. Compared
to 1Q22, compensation and benefits decreased 2%, mainly reflecting lower variable compensation. Adjusted total operating expenses in 1Q23 of CHF 3,966 million decreased 6% compared to CHF 4,237 million in 1Q22.
Compared to 4Q22, total operating expenses increased 30%, mainly reflecting the goodwill impairment charge in 1Q23 and increases in compensation and benefits, partially offset by lower general and administrative
expenses and lower restructuring expenses. Compensation and benefits increased 16%, including the acceleration of deferred compensation expenses due to the cancellation
of outstanding deferred compensation awards. General and administrative expenses decreased 19%, primarily reflecting lower litigation expenses. Adjusted total operating expenses
were stable compared to 4Q22.
> Refer to “Compensation” and “Goodwill” in “Other information” for further information
relating to these matters.
Income tax
The Group has used a year-to-date effective tax rate (discrete method) as the best
estimate of the annual effective tax rate to calculate the 1Q23 income tax expense.
This is mainly due to the inability to forecast for 2023 related to the previously
disclosed issues affecting Credit Suisse.
In 1Q23, the Group incurred an income tax expense of CHF 345 million on pre-tax income of CHF 12,764 million. This primarily reflected the impact of CHF 218 million from the geographical
mix of results adjusted by certain non-deductible expenses. Additionally, we recorded
a valuation allowance of CHF 109 million reflecting the reassessment of deferred tax
assets due to the Group’s performance. The impact of the gain from the write-down
of additional tier 1 capital notes, on which the Group utilized significant tax losses
from prior years, resulted in a tax expense of CHF 18 million.
Overall, net deferred tax liabilities decreased CHF 437 million from CHF 1,073 million in 4Q22 to CHF 636 in 1Q23, primarily driven by a reduction in deferred tax liability associated with
the additional tier 1 capital notes write-down, partially offset by the reassessment
of the deferred tax assets.
Regulatory capital
As of the end of 1Q23, our Bank for International Settlements (BIS) common equity
tier 1 (CET1) ratio was 20.3% and our risk-weighted assets (RWA) were CHF 243.4 billion.
Core results
In 1Q23, Core net revenues of CHF 18,122 million increased 329% compared to 1Q22, reflecting higher net revenues in the Corporate Center, partially
offset by lower net revenues in the Investment Bank, Wealth Management, Swiss Bank
and Asset Management. Provision for credit losses was CHF 79 million, primarily related to provision for credit losses of CHF 40 million in Swiss Bank, CHF 21 million in Wealth Management and CHF 18 million in the Investment Bank. Total operating expenses of CHF 4,880 million increased 16% compared to 1Q22, mainly reflecting the goodwill impairment charge in 1Q23 and significantly
increased restructuring expenses, partially offset by a 42% decrease in general and administrative expenses.
Compared to 4Q22, Core net revenues increased 466% compared to 4Q22, primarily reflecting increased net revenues in the Corporate Center
and in the Investment Bank, partially offset by lower net revenues in Wealth Management,
Asset Management and Swiss Bank. Total operating expenses increased 35% compared to 4Q22, primarily reflecting the goodwill impairment charge in 1Q23 and
a 14% increase in compensation and benefits, partially offset by a 18% decrease in general and administrative expenses and a 35% decrease in restructuring expenses.
Credit Suisse and UBS to merge
On March 19, 2023, Credit Suisse Group AG (Credit Suisse) and UBS Group AG (UBS) entered
into a merger agreement following the intervention of the Swiss Federal Department
of Finance, the SNB and FINMA. UBS will be the surviving entity upon closing of the
merger transaction. Under the terms of the merger agreement all shareholders of Credit
Suisse will receive 1 share in UBS for 22.48 shares in Credit Suisse. This exchange
ratio reflected a merger consideration of approximately CHF 3 billion for all shares
in Credit Suisse at a price of CHF 17.11 per UBS share as of the close on March 17,
2023 at the SIX Swiss Exchange. The exchange ratio is fixed and will not be adjusted
to reflect changes in the price of shares in UBS or Credit Suisse prior to completion.
In connection with the merger, Credit Suisse’s shares and American Depositary Shares
will be delisted from stock exchanges. The SNB has granted Credit Suisse access to
significant credit facilities that provide substantial liquidity support to Credit
Suisse, a portion of which are supported by default guarantees provided by the Swiss
government. As of March 31, 2023 the net amount of borrowings under these facilities
amounted to CHF 108 billion after repayments of CHF 60 billion in the quarter, with
further repayments of CHF 10 billion as of the date of this report. Pursuant to an
emergency ordinance which was issued by the Swiss Federal Council, the merger transaction
will be implemented without the need for the approval of the shareholders of Credit
Suisse or UBS. We will work closely with UBS to ensure that the transaction is completed
in a timely manner. The consummation of the merger remains subject to customary closing
conditions.
> Refer to “Risk factors” for further information on risks that may arise in relation
to these matters.
In addition, FINMA ordered that Credit Suisse’s outstanding amount of additional tier
1 capital notes of nominal value of approximately CHF 16 billion and a fair value
of approximately CHF 15 billion be written down to zero. This led to a corresponding
gain recognized in 1Q23 of CHF 15,007 million.
Annual General Meeting
As a result of the announced planned merger between Credit Suisse and UBS, the Board
of Directors of Credit Suisse (Board) announced on March 29, 2023 the withdrawal of
certain previously disclosed proposals to the 2023 Annual General Meeting (AGM). The
withdrawals pertained to the proposed discharge of members of the Board and the Executive
Board for the financial year 2022 and the proposed Transformation Award as it related
to compensation for the Executive Board. In addition, the Board further informed shareholders
on its proposal regarding the appropriation of retained earnings and ordinary distribution
of a dividend. Pursuant to the emergency ordinance, Credit Suisse was not permitted
to resolve on and distribute a dividend for the financial year 2022, and the proposal
for distribution of a dividend was withdrawn, although under Swiss law shareholders
would still need to vote on the appropriation of retained earnings.
On April 4, 2023 at the AGM, the shareholders of Credit Suisse approved all remaining
proposals of the Board at the AGM in Zurich, with two exceptions. The shareholders
did not approve the proposed maximum aggregate compensation of the Executive Board
for a term until the closing of the planned merger with UBS, which compensation would
have been pro-rated for such term, and certain proposed amendments to the Articles
of Association were not adopted due to a lack of the required quorum. Shareholders
elected Axel P. Lehmann as Chairman of the Board for a term until the closing of the
planned merger with UBS. Following his re-election to the Board, Christian Gellerstad
was appointed as Vice-Chair and Lead Independent Director. Shan Li, Seraina Macia,
Blythe Masters, Richard Meddings and Ana Paula Pessoa did not stand for re-election
at the 2023 AGM. Shareholders confirmed all other members of the Board who stood for
re-election for a term until the closing of the planned merger with UBS.
Securitized Products Group
On November 15, 2022, Credit Suisse announced that it entered into definitive transaction
agreements for the Apollo transaction. This transaction involves phased closings through
the first half of 2023. On February 7, 2023, the parties completed the first closing
of such transaction, and the majority of the assets and professionals associated with
the transaction are now part of or managed by ATLAS SP Partners, a new standalone
credit firm focused on asset-backed financing and capital markets solutions. Following
this first closing, there were three subsequent closings in 1Q23 with further assets
transferred. These closings, together with the recently completed sales of other portfolio
assets to Apollo and other third parties and certain business reductions, resulted
in a total reduction of the asset equivalent exposures of SPG and related financing
businesses from USD 74 billion as of September 30, 2022 to approximately USD 26 billion
as of March 31, 2023. In 1Q23, Credit Suisse recognized a pre-tax gain of USD 0.8
billion as a result of the Apollo transaction, partially offset by losses on the valuation
of certain financing arrangements associated with the Apollo transaction.
In connection with the initial closing of this transaction, Credit Suisse and Apollo
entered into various ancillary agreements related to the transaction, including an
investment management agreement, certain financing arrangements and a transition services
agreement.
> Refer to “Strategy” in I – Information on the company in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2022 for further information
regarding these agreements.
Liquidity issues in 1Q23
In the second half of March 2023, Credit Suisse experienced significant withdrawals
of cash deposits as well as non-renewal of maturing time deposits. Customer deposits
declined by CHF 67 billion in 1Q23. These outflows, which were most acute in the days
immediately preceding and following the announcement of the merger, stabilized to
much lower levels, but had not yet reversed as of the date of this report. The Group’s
three-month average daily LCR was 178% as of the end of 1Q23, improved from lower
levels earlier in the quarter after benefitting from the liquidity facilities from
the SNB. Prior to the significantly increased outflows, on March 14, 2023 our quarter
to date daily average LCR was approximately 153%, improved from the three-month average
daily LCR of 144% at the end of 2022.
Outflows in assets under management in 1Q23
At the Group level, net asset outflows in 1Q23 were CHF 61 billion or 5% of assets
under management as of the end of 4Q22, in particular following net asset outflows
in the second half of March 2023 across all businesses. In Wealth Management, these
outflows in 1Q23 represented 9% of assets under management reported as of the end
of 4Q22. In the Swiss Bank, these outflows in 1Q23 represented 1% of assets under
management reported as of the end of 4Q22. In Asset Management, these outflows in
1Q23 represented 3% of assets under management reported as of the end of 4Q22. These
outflows have moderated but have not yet reversed as of the date of this report. Deposit
outflows represented 57% of Wealth Management and Swiss Bank net asset outflows in
1Q23.

Credit Suisse Group AG, and M. Klein & Co LLC have mutually agreed to terminate the
acquisition of The Klein Group, LLC (i.e., the investment banking business of M. Klein
& Co. LLC) by Credit Suisse considering Credit Suisse’s recently announced merger
with UBS Group AG.
Goodwill
Following a review of the Group’s financial plans to reflect the deposit and assets
under management outflows in 1Q23, the Group concluded that the estimated fair value
of the Wealth Management reporting unit was below its related carrying value and as
a result a goodwill impairment charge of CHF 1.3 billion was recorded for the quarter,
resulting in a goodwill balance of zero for that reporting unit. The fair value of
the remaining reporting units with goodwill (Swiss Bank and Asset Management) exceeded
their related carrying values and no further impairments were necessary as of March
31, 2023.
The fair value of the Asset Management reporting unit exceeded its related carrying
value by less than 10%. The reporting unit has experienced a significant level of
assets under management outflows. The goodwill allocated to this reporting unit has
become more sensitive to an impairment due to these outflows, and there is a significant
risk of a future goodwill impairment for this reporting unit if its future performances
does not achieve the financial projections contained within our financial plan.
As a result of the announced strategy and organizational changes, the Private Fund
Group business in the Asset Management reporting unit was transferred to the Investment
Bank reporting unit effective January 1, 2023, resulting in a transfer of CHF 30 million
of goodwill between the reporting units. The Group fully impaired this goodwill in
1Q23.
Impairment of capitalized internally developed software costs
Following an assessment of the balance sheet carrying value of internally developed
software costs, an impairment of CHF 65 million was recorded as restructuring expenses
in 1Q23 relating to the Investment Bank.
Compensation
On April 5, 2023, the Swiss Federal Council instructed the Swiss Federal Department
of Finance to cancel or reduce the outstanding variable remuneration for the top three
levels of management at Credit Suisse. Under US GAAP accounting guidance, the nature
of such a cancellation of deferred compensation required an acceleration of deferred
compensation expense in 1Q23 for the outstanding share-based portion of the compensation
awards with a corresponding credit to shareholders’ equity, and for the smaller impact
from the cancellation of cash-based awards a credit to the income statement for previously
accrued expenses.
Credit ratings
Following the announcement of the merger, all three major rating agencies revised
their credit outlooks. On March 20, 2023, Moody’s Investor Service placed on review
for upgrade all long-term ratings of Credit Suisse Group AG and Credit Suisse AG,
as well as the short-term ratings of Credit Suisse AG, and at the same time revised
the outlook for Credit Suisse Group AG and Credit Suisse AG to “Ratings under review”
from “Negative”. Also on March 20, 2023, S&P Global Ratings placed the long- and short-term
issuer credit ratings of Credit Suisse Group AG and Credit Suisse AG on “CreditWatch
Positive” from “Stable”. On March 21, 2023, Fitch Ratings placed Credit Suisse Group
AG's Long-Term Issuer Default Rating and the Long-Term and Short-Term Issuer Default
Ratings of Credit Suisse AG on “Rating Watch Evolving” from “Negative”.
Public tender offers for debt securities
Credit Suisse also announced on March 16, 2023 that it was making a cash tender offer
in relation to ten US dollar denominated senior debt securities for an aggregate consideration
of up to USD 2.5 billion. Concurrently, Credit Suisse also announced a separate cash
tender offer in relation to four Euro denominated senior debt securities for an aggregate
consideration of up to EUR 500 million. The offers expired on March 22, 2023, and
pursuant to the tender offers, we repurchased USD 0.6 billion and EUR 2.0 billion
of such debt securities.
Material weakness of internal control over financial reporting
In March 2023, the Group reported material weaknesses of internal control over financial
reporting as disclosed and detailed in the 2022 Annual Report audited financial statements
in the section entitled “Controls and procedures”. Management is committed to maintaining
a strong internal control environment and implementing measures designed to ensure
that the material weaknesses are remediated as soon as possible.
Supply chain finance funds matter
As previously reported, in early March 2021, the boards of four supply chain finance
funds (SCFF) managed by certain Group subsidiaries decided to suspend redemptions
and subscriptions of those funds to protect the interests of the funds’ investors,
to terminate the SCFF and to proceed to their liquidation. Credit Suisse Asset Management
(Schweiz) AG (CSAM) acts as the portfolio manager of the SCFF.
Beginning in 4Q21, we introduced a fee waiver program for clients impacted by this
matter wherein certain commissions and fees arising from current and future business
transactions may be reimbursed on a quarterly basis, provided certain conditions are met. We incurred negative revenues of CHF 13 million in 1Q23 relating to this fee waiver program, primarily in Wealth Management.
Significant negative consequences of the Archegos and supply chain finance funds matters
In prior financial reports, we have outlined the losses associated with the Archegos
matter and the legal and regulatory consequences of that matter and the SCFF matter.
There can be no assurance that any additional losses, damages, costs and expenses,
as well as any further regulatory and other investigations and actions or any further
downgrade of our credit ratings, will not be material to us, including from any impact
on our business, financial condition, results of operations, prospects, liquidity,
capital position or reputation. For example, we have suffered and may continue to
suffer reputational harm and reductions in certain areas of our business, such as
outflows of assets, attributable, at least in part, to these matters. The ongoing
effect of these matters, and this harm and these reductions, can continue to affect
our business overall, including our ability to attract and retain customers, clients,
investors and employees and to conduct business transactions with our counterparties.
Our employee attrition has been higher over the last year, undoubtedly owing at least
in part to these matters. While steps we have taken in response to the Archegos and
SCFF matters are designed to reduce the Group’s risks, some of these changes will
constrain certain areas of our business, thereby impacting negatively our results
of operations. These challenges are taking place in the context of worsening macroeconomic
and market conditions, potentially amplifying some of the negative consequences noted
above.
> Refer to “Risk factors” in I – Information on the company and “Note 40 - Litigation” in VI – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2022 for further information
on risks that may arise in relation to these matters and for a description of the
regulatory and legal developments relating to these matters.
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.
Performance measures
Credit Suisse measures firm-wide returns against total shareholders’ equity and tangible
shareholders’ equity, a non-GAAP financial measure also known as tangible book value.
Tangible shareholders’ equity is calculated by deducting goodwill and other intangible
assets from total shareholders’ equity as presented in our balance sheet. In addition,
Credit Suisse also measures the efficiency of the firm and its divisions with regard
to the usage of regulatory capital. 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. 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. Adjusted
return on regulatory capital excluding certain items included in our reported results
is calculated using results excluding such items, applying the same methodology.
Management believes that these metrics are meaningful as they are measures used and
relied upon by industry analysts and investors to assess valuations and capital adequacy.
The merger we previously announced with UBS is subject to closing conditions that,
if not satisfied or, to the extent waivable, waived, would result in the merger not
being completed, which could seriously jeopardize our financial viability and raise
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern
The merger is subject to the satisfaction (or waiver, to the extent waivable, by UBS)
of a number of conditions as set forth in the merger agreement, including, among others,
(i) receipt of approval of the transaction by FINMA and granting by FINMA of arrangements
separately agreed upon and such decisions and arrangements remaining in full force
and effect and not having been amended, conditioned or revoked before completion,
(ii) receipt of certain other regulatory approvals that are not subject to any condition,
restriction or undertaking that would reasonably be capable of causing a material
adverse effect on us, UBS, any of our or UBS’s subsidiaries or other affiliates, or
the combined group and (iii) receipt of certain governmental approvals that are not
subject to any condition, restriction, obligation or undertaking that would result
in any disposal of any UBS asset or business or that would reasonably be capable of
causing a material adverse effect on us, UBS, any of our or UBS’s subsidiaries or
other affiliates, or the combined group. There can be no assurance as to when these
conditions to the transaction will be satisfied (or, to the extent waivable, waived
by UBS), if at all, or that other events will not intervene to delay or result in
the failure to complete the transaction. While Credit Suisse believes these conditions
will be satisfied and that the merger will be successfully consummated, if the merger
were not to be completed, our financial viability could be jeopardized, which would
raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.
Until the merger is consummated, the risks to our business and operations are exacerbated
In light of the announced merger and other recent events leading to it, many of the
risks contained under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
March 14, 2023, are exacerbated. These risks include, among others, risks to our operations,
the loss of clients, higher employee attrition, additional net asset and deposit outflows
and further asset impairments, including subsidiary participation valuations (with
potential impacts on Bank Parent capital), IT impairments and goodwill. For example,
recent developments have already increased our employee attrition. Delays in the timely
consummation of the merger could therefore have a material adverse effect on our business.

on risks that could adversely affect our businesses, results of operations and financial
condition.

In 1Q23, we reported a loss before taxes of CHF 1,461 million, mainly reflecting a goodwill impairment charge of CHF 1,294 million, compared to a loss before taxes of CHF 2 million in 1Q22. Net revenues of CHF 893 million decreased 33% compared to 1Q22.
1Q23 results
In 1Q23, we reported a loss before taxes of CHF 1,461 million compared to a loss before taxes of CHF 2 million in 1Q22. Net revenues of CHF 893 million decreased 33%, mainly reflecting lower net interest income, lower transaction- and performance-based
revenues and lower recurring commissions and fees. We recorded a provision for credit
losses of CHF 21 million compared to a provision for credit losses of CHF 26 million in 1Q22. Total operating expenses of CHF 2,333 million increased 77%, mainly driven by a goodwill impairment charge of CHF 1,294 million in 1Q23.
We reported a loss before taxes of CHF 1,461 million compared to a loss before taxes of CHF 65 million in 4Q22. Net revenues decreased 18%, mainly reflecting lower other revenues and lower net interest income. We recorded
a provision for credit losses of CHF 21 million compared to a release of provision for credit losses of CHF 5 million in 4Q22. Total operating expenses increased 100%, mainly driven by the goodwill impairment charge.
Capital and leverage metrics
As of the end of 1Q23, we reported RWA of CHF 46.3 billion, a decrease of CHF 0.9 billion compared to the end of 4Q22, mainly due to movements in risk levels in credit
risk, driven by a decrease in lending exposures, partially offset by positive impacts
from external and internal model and parameter updates in credit risk. Leverage exposure
of CHF 133.4 billion was CHF 7.0 billion lower compared to the end of 4Q22, mainly driven by lower business usage
and a decrease in high-quality liquid assets (HQLA).

Net revenues
Compared to 1Q22, net revenues of CHF 893 million decreased 33%, reflecting lower net interest income, lower transaction- and performance-based revenues,
lower recurring commissions and fees and lower other revenues. Net interest income
of CHF 345 million decreased 37%, mainly reflecting lower loan margins on lower average loan volumes, higher costs
related to interest rate management, higher funding costs due to significant deposit
outflows and lower funding benefits. These results were partially offset by the impact
of higher deposit margins despite significantly lower average deposit volumes. Transaction-
and performance-based revenues of CHF 206 million decreased 43%, mainly driven by lower client activity and lower corporate advisory fees. Recurring
commissions and fees of CHF 342 million decreased 17%, adversely impacted by lower average assets under management, and mainly reflected
in lower discretionary mandate fees, lower investment product fees, lower security
account and custody services fees and lower investment advisory fees. Other revenues
were zero in 1Q23 compared to other revenues of CHF 20 million in 1Q22, mainly reflecting gains on the sale of real estate of CHF 20 million.
Compared to 4Q22, net revenues decreased 18%, reflecting lower other revenues, lower net interest income and lower recurring commissions
and fees, partially offset by higher transaction- and performance-based revenues.
Other revenues were zero in 1Q23 compared to other revenues of CHF 114 million in 4Q22, mainly reflecting a gain on the sale of real estate of CHF 122 million. Net interest income decreased 21%, mainly reflecting lower deposit margins on significantly lower average deposit volumes,
stable loan margins on lower average loan volumes, higher costs related to interest
rate management and higher funding costs due to significant deposit outflows. Recurring
commissions and fees decreased 3%, reflecting the impact of lower average assets under management, and mainly driven
by lower discretionary mandate fees, lower investment product fees and lower security
account and custody services fees and lower investment advisory fees. Transaction-
and performance-based revenues increased 9%, mainly driven by higher client activity, partially offset by lower corporate advisory
fees.
> Refer to “Outflows in assets under management in 1Q23” in Credit Suisse for further
information.
Provision for credit losses
The loan portfolio is comprised of lombard lending, mortgages, ship finance, export
finance, aviation and yacht finance and structured lending.
In 1Q23, we recorded a provision for credit losses of CHF 21 million compared to a provision for credit losses of CHF 26 million in 1Q22 and a release of provision for credit losses of CHF 5 million in 4Q22. The provision in 1Q23 was primarily driven by one case in the real
estate sector and an increase in non-specific provisions for expected credit losses.
Total operating expenses
Compared to 1Q22, total operating expenses of CHF 2,333 million increased 77%, mainly driven by the goodwill impairment charge of CHF 1,294 million and higher restructuring expenses of CHF 46 million in 1Q23, partially offset by lower general and administrative expenses. General
and administrative expenses of CHF 299 million decreased 50%, as 1Q22 included significantly higher litigation expenses and lower allocated corporate
function costs and lower professional services fees in 1Q23. Compensation and benefits
of CHF 650 million were stable, with higher allocated corporate function costs offset by lower discretionary compensation
expenses.
Compared to 4Q22, total operating expenses increased 100%, mainly driven by the goodwill impairment charge, partially offset by lower general
and administrative expenses and lower restructuring expenses. General and administrative
expenses decreased 29%, primarily driven by lower allocated corporate function costs, lower professional
services fees, lower litigation expenses and lower advertising and marketing expenses.
Compensation and benefits increased 2%, mainly from higher allocated corporate function costs and higher deferred compensation
expenses from prior year awards, partially offset by lower discretionary compensation
expenses.
Margins
Our gross margin was 66 basis points in 1Q23, a decrease of eight basis points compared to 1Q22, mainly driven
by lower net interest income, lower transaction- and performance-based revenues and
lower recurring commissions and fees, partially offset by a 25.3% decrease in average assets under management. Compared to 4Q22, our gross margin was
nine basis points lower, mainly reflecting lower other revenues and lower net interest
income, partially offset by a 7.2% decrease in average assets under management.
> Refer to “Assets under management” for further information.
Our net margin was negative 108 basis points in 1Q23, a decrease of 108 basis points and 103 basis points compared
to 1Q22 and 4Q22, respectively. These decreases mainly reflected higher total operating
expenses, driven by the goodwill impairment charge in 1Q23, and lower net revenues.
As of the end of 1Q23, assets under management of CHF 502.5 billion were CHF 38.0 billion lower compared to the end of 4Q22, mainly driven by significant net asset
outflows, partially offset by favorable market-related movements. Net asset outflows
of CHF 47.1 billion were driven by outflows across all regions.
> Refer to “Outflows in assets under management in 1Q23” in Credit Suisse for further

In 1Q23, we reported income before taxes of CHF 287 million compared to income before taxes of CHF 479 million in 1Q22. Net revenues of CHF 973 million decreased 15% compared to 1Q22, reflecting lower revenues across all major revenue categories.
1Q23 results
In 1Q23, income before taxes of CHF 287 million decreased 40% compared to 1Q22. Net revenues of CHF 973 million decreased 15%, reflecting lower revenues across all major revenue categories. Other revenues in 1Q22 included
gains on the sale of real estate of CHF 84 million. Provision for credit losses was CHF 40 million compared to CHF 23 million in 1Q22. Total operating expenses of CHF 646 million were stable, mainly reflecting higher restructuring expenses, offset by lower
general and administrative expenses.
Compared to 4Q22, income before taxes decreased 6%. Net revenues decreased 4%, primarily reflecting lower other revenues and lower net interest income. Other revenues
in 4Q22 included gains on the sale of real estate of CHF 51 million, partially offset by a loss on the equity investment in SIX Swiss Exchange
(SIX) of CHF 10 million. Provision for credit losses was CHF 40 million compared to CHF 28 million in 4Q22. Total operating expenses decreased 5%, mainly reflecting lower general and administrative expenses, partially offset by
higher restructuring expenses.
Capital and leverage metrics
As of the end of 1Q23, we reported RWA of CHF 70.4 billion, CHF 0.8 billion higher compared to the end of 4Q22, mainly related to internal model and parameter updates in credit risk, mainly due to model updates for
income producing real estate, partially offset by a negative foreign exchange impact.
Leverage exposure of CHF 231.5 billion increased CHF 10.7 billion compared to the end of 4Q22, primarily reflecting higher HQLA, reflecting
an increase in cash held at central banks.

Net revenues
Compared to 1Q22, net revenues of CHF 973 million decreased 15%, reflecting lower revenues across all major revenue categories. Net interest income
of CHF 514 million decreased 11%, primarily driven by lower treasury revenues, mainly reflecting the absence of Swiss
National Bank (SNB) threshold benefits following the SNB increase of interest rates,
and lower loan margins on slightly lower average loan volumes, partially offset by
higher deposit margins on lower average deposit volumes. Other revenues in 1Q22 included the gains on the sale of real estate. Recurring commissions
and fees of CHF 308 million decreased 8%, mainly driven by lower discretionary mandate management fees, lower security account
and custody services fees as well as lower banking services fees. Transaction-based revenues of CHF 151 million decreased 12%, mainly reflecting lower client activity as well as lower revenues from our Swiss
investment banking business.
Compared to 4Q22, net revenues decreased 4%, primarily reflecting lower other revenues and lower net interest income. Other revenues
in 4Q22 included the gains on the sale of real estate, partially offset by the loss
on the equity investment in SIX. Net interest income decreased 2%, mainly driven by a negative impact from other banking book positions and lower loan
margins on slightly lower average loan volumes, partially offset by higher deposit
margins on lower average deposit volumes and higher treasury revenues. Transaction-based
revenues decreased 4%, mainly reflecting lower revenues from our Swiss investment banking business, partially
offset by higher brokerage and product issuing fees. Recurring commissions and fees
increased 3%, primarily reflecting higher fees from lending activities.
Provision for credit losses
The loan portfolio is substantially comprised of residential mortgages in Switzerland,
loans secured by real estate, securities and other financial collateral as well as
unsecured loans to commercial clients and, to a lesser extent, consumer finance loans.
In 1Q23, we recorded provision for credit losses of CHF 40 million compared to CHF 23 million in 1Q22 and CHF 28 million in 4Q22. The provisions in 1Q23 mainly included specific provisions reflecting
several individual cases across various industries and non-specific provisions for
credit losses of CHF 19 million.
Total operating expenses
Compared to 1Q22, total operating expenses of CHF 646 million were stable, mainly reflecting higher restructuring expenses, offset by lower
general and administrative expenses. In 1Q23, we incurred restructuring expenses of
CHF 27 million. Compensation and benefits of CHF 413 million were stable, mainly reflecting higher deferred compensation expenses from prior-year awards, higher salary
expenses as well as higher social security expenses, offset by lower discretionary
compensation expenses. General and administrative expenses of CHF 178 million decreased 10%, primarily reflecting lower allocated corporate function costs.
Compared to 4Q22, total operating expenses decreased 5%, mainly reflecting lower general and administrative expenses, partially offset by
higher restructuring expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased 22%, mainly reflecting lower allocated corporate function costs as well as lower advertising
and marketing expenses. Compensation and benefits were stable, mainly reflecting higher
social security expenses, higher deferred compensation expenses from prior-year awards
as well as higher allocated corporate function costs, offset by lower discretionary
compensation expenses and lower pension expenses.
Margins
Our gross margin was 73 basis points in 1Q23, a decrease of five basis points compared to 1Q22, reflecting
lower revenues across all major revenue categories, partially offset by a 9.2% decrease in average assets under management. Compared to 4Q22, our gross margin was
four basis points lower, mainly driven by lower other revenues and lower net interest
income with stable average assets under management.
> Refer to “Assets under management” for further information.
Our net margin was 21 basis points in 1Q23, a decrease of twelve basis points compared to 1Q22, mainly
driven by lower net revenues, partially offset by the lower average assets under management.
Compared to 4Q22, our net margin was two basis points lower, driven by lower net revenues
on stable average assets under management, partially offset by lower total operating
expenses.
As of the end of 1Q23, assets under management of CHF 526.6 billion were stable compared to the end of 4Q22, mainly reflecting favorable market
movements, offset by net asset outflows. Net asset outflows of CHF 6.9 billion mainly reflected outflows in our private clients business.
> Refer to “Outflows in assets under management in 1Q23” in Credit Suisse for further
information.

In 1Q23, we reported a loss before taxes of CHF 31 million and net revenues of CHF 187 million. Net revenues decreased 45% and 28% compared to 1Q22 and 4Q22, respectively.
1Q23 results
In 1Q23, we reported a loss before taxes of CHF 31 million, compared to income before taxes of CHF 57 million in 1Q22, reflecting reduced net revenues. Net revenues of CHF 187 million decreased 45% compared to 1Q22, driven mainly by decreased investment and partnership income and reduced
management fees. Total operating expenses of CHF 218 million decreased 23% compared to 1Q22, primarily driven by lower general and administrative expenses and
lower compensation and benefits.
Our 1Q23 loss before taxes of CHF 31 million compared to a loss of CHF 28 million in 4Q22, reflecting lower net revenues, partially offset by lower total operating expenses. Net revenues decreased 28%, driven by decreased investment and partnership income, partially offset by higher
performance and transaction revenues. Total operating expenses decreased 24%, mainly reflecting lower general and administration expenses and reduced compensation
and benefits.
Capital and leverage metrics
As of the end of 1Q23, RWA of CHF 8.1 billion were stable compared to the end of 4Q22. Leverage exposure of CHF 2.3 billion decreased CHF 0.2 billion compared to the end of 4Q22.

Net revenues
Compared to 1Q22, net revenues of CHF 187 million decreased 45%, reflecting decreased investment and partnership income and reduced management fees,
partially offset by higher performance and transaction revenues. The decrease in investment
and partnership income was mainly due to a currency translation adjustment and impairment
on the planned partial disposal of an investment. Management fees of CHF 234 million decreased 14%, reflecting a combination of lower average assets under management and increased
investor bias towards passive products. Performance and transaction revenues of CHF 27 million increased 8%, mainly driven by investment-related gains.
Compared to 4Q22, net revenues decreased 28%, driven by decreased investment and partnership income, partially offset by higher
performance and transaction revenues. The decrease in investment and partnership income
was mainly due to a currency translation adjustment and impairment on the planned
partial disposal of an investment. Performance and transaction revenues increased by CHF 24 million, mainly driven by higher investment-related gains. Management fees were stable.
Total operating expenses
Compared to 1Q22, total operating expenses of CHF 218 million decreased 23%, mainly reflecting lower general and administrative expenses and reduced compensation
and benefits. General and administrative expenses of CHF 66 million decreased 41%, mainly reflecting reduced professional services fees related to the wind down and
administration of the SCFF. Compensation and benefits of CHF 128 million decreased 10%, mainly reflecting lower discretionary compensation expenses. In 1Q23, we incurred
restructuring expenses of CHF 4 million.
Compared to 4Q22, total operating expenses decreased 24%, mainly reflecting lower general and administrative expenses and reduced compensation
and benefits. General and administrative expenses decreased 41%, mainly reflecting lower allocated corporate function costs and reduced professional
services fees related to the wind down and administration of the SCFF. Compensation
and benefits decreased 10%, mainly reflecting lower discretionary compensation expenses.
As of the end of 1Q23, assets under management of CHF 399.4 billion were CHF 3.0 billion lower compared to the end of 4Q22, mainly reflecting net asset outflows, partially
offset by favorable market movements. Net asset outflows of CHF 11.6 billion were driven by outflows from traditional investments, in particular fixed
income and index solutions, and from alternative investments, primarily related to
outflows in credit.

In 1Q23, we reported a loss before taxes of CHF 448 million compared to income before taxes of CHF 162 million in 1Q22. Net revenues of CHF 1,017 million decreased 37% compared to 1Q22, reflecting continued challenging market conditions. Performance
was impacted by weak client activity in light of previously disclosed issues affecting
Credit Suisse.
1Q23 results
In 1Q23, we reported a loss before taxes of CHF 448 million compared to income before taxes of CHF 162 million in 1Q22. Net revenues of CHF 1,017 million decreased 37% compared to 1Q22, mainly driven by low client activity and less favorable conditions,
particularly in our equity sales and trading, capital markets and advisory franchises.
These declines were partially offset by gains of CHF 236 million (USD 257 million) on increased buyback activity principally in our structured notes portfolio
across equities and fixed income at prices reflecting significantly wider own credit
spreads. In 1Q23, we recorded provision for credit losses of CHF 18 million compared to a release of CHF 3 million in 1Q22. Total operating expenses of CHF 1,447 million were stable compared to 1Q22, reflecting reduced compensation and benefits and lower general
and administrative expenses, offset by increased restructuring expenses and a goodwill
impairment charge. In light of our strategic actions, total operating expenses included
CHF 106 million of restructuring expenses in 1Q23. Adjusted total operating expenses decreased 9% compared to 1Q22.
In 1Q23, we reported a loss before taxes of CHF 448 million compared to a loss of CHF 775 million in 4Q22. Net revenues increased 64% compared to low levels in 4Q22 and included gains on the buyback activity principally
in our structured notes portfolio. We recorded a provision for credit losses of CHF 18 million compared to a provision of CHF 2 million in 4Q22. Total operating expenses increased 4%, mainly due to higher compensation and benefits, partially offset by lower restructuring
expenses and lower general and administrative expenses. Adjusted total operating expenses
increased 8% compared to 4Q22.

As of the end of 1Q23, RWA of USD 43.4 billion increased USD 0.6 billion compared to the end of 4Q22, mainly driven by an increase in movements in
risk levels in operational risk, primarily reflecting a reduction in operational risk
insurance, partially offset by a decrease in movements in risk levels in market risk,
including reduced rates exposure. Leverage exposure of USD 129.4 billion decreased USD 10.3 billion compared to the end of 4Q22, largely driven by timing on settlement of US
treasury auctions, partially offset by reduced collateral utilization.

Fixed income sales and trading
In 1Q23, fixed income revenues of CHF 278 million decreased 5% compared to 1Q22, as low client activity across most businesses was partially offset
by constructive market conditions in global credit products and rates. We had lower
revenues in our foreign exchange and credit investor products franchises, mainly due
to less favorable trading conditions. These decreases were partially offset by higher
revenues in global credit products, mainly driven by a significant increase in investment
grade trading revenues due to heightened volatility. Revenues in our rates franchise
increased, driven by strong interest rate volatility coupled with gains on the buyback
activity principally in our structured notes portfolio.
Compared to 4Q22, fixed income revenues increased 40%, reflecting improved performance across most products, albeit from low levels. We
had higher revenues in credit investor products compared to a weak 4Q22 performance,
driven by increased client activity and higher new issuance volumes. Revenues in global
credit products increased significantly, mainly driven by a substantial increase in
investment grade trading revenues. We also had higher revenues in our foreign exchange
franchise. We saw lower revenues in our rates franchise compared to a strong 4Q22
performance despite gains on the buyback activity principally in our structured notes
portfolio.
Equity sales and trading
In 1Q23, equity sales and trading revenues of CHF 420 million decreased 36% compared to a strong 1Q22, which benefitted from more favorable market conditions,
including high levels of volatility, which led to strong trading volumes. Equity derivatives
revenues decreased significantly compared to a strong 1Q22 mainly reflecting lower
results in flow derivatives and structured equity derivatives, despite significant
gains on the buyback activity principally in our structured notes portfolio. Cash
equities revenues declined, consistent with the lower trading volumes across regions.
Compared to 4Q22, equity sales and trading revenues increased significantly from very low levels. The increase was primarily driven by higher equity derivatives revenues, particularly
in our structured equity derivatives franchise, which was significantly impacted by
gains on the buyback activity principally in our structured notes portfolio. In 4Q22,
structured equity derivatives were significantly adversely impacted by low client
activity, including as a result of the Group’s credit rating downgrades in the quarter.
Cash equities revenues declined due to lower revenues in EMEA and the Americas.
Capital markets
In 1Q23, capital markets revenues of CHF 241 million decreased 45% compared to 1Q22, reflecting significantly lower street fees across products, challenging
market conditions and lower market share, partially offset by a recovery on unrealized
mark-to-market losses in our leveraged finance underwriting portfolio. Debt capital
markets revenues decreased, reflecting reduced issuance activity, particularly in
leveraged finance. In addition, equity capital markets revenues decreased significantly,
reflecting continued subdued street fees and lower market share.
Compared to 4Q22, capital markets revenues increased 41%, driven by significantly higher debt capital markets revenues reflecting the recovery
on unrealized mark-to-market losses in our leveraged finance underwriting portfolio.
This was partially offset by lower revenues in equity capital markets due to a prolonged
downturn in issuance activity.
Advisory and other fees
In 1Q23, advisory revenues of CHF 77 million decreased 63%, reflecting reduced industry-wide activity and lower market share.
Compared to 4Q22, advisory revenues decreased 58%, reflecting reduced industry-wide activity and lower market share.
Provision for credit losses
In 1Q23, we recorded provision for credit losses of CHF 18 million compared to a release of CHF 3 million in 1Q22 and provision for credit losses of CHF 2 million in 4Q22. Provision for credit losses in 1Q23 mainly included higher non-specific
provisions for expected credit losses.
Total operating expenses
In 1Q23, total operating expenses of CHF 1,447 million were stable compared to 1Q22, reflecting reduced compensation and benefits and lower general
and administrative expenses, offset by increased restructuring expenses and a goodwill
impairment charge. Compensation and benefits of CHF 789 million decreased 9%, reflecting lower discretionary compensation expenses and reduced deferred compensation
expenses from prior year awards, partially offset by higher salary expenses reflecting
the impact of deferred fixed cash compensation granted to certain employees in 2Q22.
General and administrative expenses of CHF 432 million decreased 7%, mainly reflecting lower consulting expenses. In 1Q23, we incurred restructuring
expenses of CHF 106 million, which included an impairment of internally developed software costs, compared
to CHF 4 million in 1Q22. Adjusted total operating expenses decreased 9% compared to 1Q22.
Compared to 4Q22, total operating expenses increased 4%, mainly due to higher compensation and benefits, partially offset by lower restructuring
expenses and lower general and administrative expenses. Compensation and benefits
increased 20%, as 4Q22 mainly reflecting the acceleration of deferred compensation expenses due
to the cancellation of outstanding deferred compensation awards. In 1Q23, we incurred
restructuring expenses of CHF 106 million compared to CHF 165 million in 4Q22. General and administrative expenses decreased 12%, reflecting reduced allocated corporate function costs and consulting expenses. Adjusted
total operating expenses increased 8% compared to 4Q22.
Investment banking & capital markets fees
In order to reflect the performance and capabilities of the capital markets and advisory
business and for enhanced comparability versus peers, the table below shows advisory,
debt capital markets and equity capital markets fees in US dollar terms. Fees are
defined as gross revenues generated from advisory and capital markets activity as
well as derivatives in connection with such activity, before allocated funding costs,
and excludes mark-to-market movements in debt underwriting, including leveraged finance.

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 results also include legacy funding costs, legacy litigation expenses,
a specific client compliance function and noncontrolling interests without significant
economic interest. 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 legacy funding costs. 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 RWA 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 and fair value adjustments on certain other long-dated
legacy deferred compensation and retirement programs mainly relating to former employees.
1Q23 results
In 1Q23, we reported income before taxes of CHF 14,816 million compared to losses before taxes of CHF 730 million in 1Q22 and income before taxes of CHF 113 million in 4Q22. Net revenues of CHF 15,052 million in 1Q23 were primarily driven by treasury results, which reflected the additional
tier 1 capital notes write-down ordered by FINMA. Total operating expenses of CHF 236 million decreased 54% compared to 1Q22, mainly reflecting lower general and administrative expenses. Compared
to 4Q22, total operating expenses increased 146%, primarily driven by higher compensation and benefits.

Capital and leverage metrics
As of the end of 1Q23, RWA of CHF 39.3 billion was stable compared to the end of 4Q22, as increases in movements in risk
levels in credit risk, including the usage of liquidity facilities, were offset by
the de-risking of our securitized products business in operational risk. Leverage exposure was CHF 48.3 billion as of the end of 1Q23, an increase of CHF 24.0 billion compared to the end of 4Q22, mainly driven by an increase in our centrally
held balance of HQLA, reflecting liquidity facilities, and higher business usage.
Net revenues
In 1Q23, we reported net revenues of CHF 15,052 million compared to negative net revenues of CHF 213 million in 1Q22 and net revenues of CHF 209 million in 4Q22.
Treasury results of CHF 15,009 million in 1Q23 primarily reflected revenues of CHF 14,988 million relating to funding activities, primarily due to the gains from the write-down
of the additional tier 1 capital notes. In 1Q22, negative treasury results of CHF 255 million primarily reflected losses of CHF 135 million from fair value option volatility on own debt and volatility arising from hedging of that debt, losses of CHF 50 million with respect to structured notes volatility, losses of CHF 38 million relating to fair-valued money market instruments and losses of CHF 30 million relating to funding activities. In 4Q22, treasury results of CHF 212 million primarily reflected gains of CHF 94 million relating to fair-valued money market instruments, gains of CHF 58 million with respect to structured notes volatility, revenues of CHF 43 million relating to funding activities, as well as net gains of CHF 18 million from fair value option volatility on own debt and volatility arising from
hedging of that debt.
Total operating expenses
Total operating expenses of CHF 236 million decreased CHF 282 million compared to 1Q22, mainly reflecting a decrease in general and administrative
expenses, partially offset by an increase in compensation and benefits. General and administrative expenses of CHF 96 million decreased CHF 377 million, mainly reflecting lower litigation expenses. 1Q23 included litigation expenses
of CHF 30 million and 1Q22 included litigation expenses of CHF 435 million, mainly legacy litigation expenses in connection with mortgage-related
matters. In 1Q23, compensation and benefits increased CHF 75 million, mainly driven by higher deferred compensation and expenses from prior-year
awards and higher expenses for long-dated deferred compensation and retirement programs.
We incurred restructuring expenses of CHF 17 million.
Compared to 4Q22, total operating expenses increased CHF 140 million, mainly reflecting increases in compensation and benefits and general and administrative expenses, partially
offset by a decrease in restructuring expenses. Compensation and benefits increased CHF 126 million, mainly driven by higher deferred compensation and expenses from prior-year awards. General and administrative expenses increased CHF 37 million, mainly reflecting expenses in relation to certain projects funded by the
Corporate Center.
In 1Q23, we reported a loss before taxes of CHF 399 million compared to a loss before taxes of CHF 394 million in 1Q22. We reduced RWA and leverage exposure by CHF 6.5 billion and CHF 13.8 billion, respectively, compared to 4Q22.
Capital Release Unit composition
As previously announced, as of 1Q23 the Capital Release Unit comprises our Non-Core
Unit and the residual of our SPG businesses. The Non-Core Unit includes assets, operating
expenses and funding costs associated with the following businesses and activities:
the remaining global prime services business, select European lending and capital
markets activities, non-Wealth Management-related lending in emerging markets, our
global trust business, select trading assets from our Markets business and residual
assets transferred from the Asset Resolution Unit. Transfers from the Investment Bank
division included corporate bank and emerging markets loans, equity swaps, fixed income
trading, rates and foreign exchange, legacy life finance business and minority interest
investments.
1Q23 results
In 1Q23, we reported a loss before taxes of CHF 399 million compared to a loss before taxes of CHF 394 million in 1Q22. Net revenues of CHF 345 million increased 81%, primarily reflecting a gain from the Apollo transaction of CHF 726 million, partially offset by a loss of revenues from businesses transferred from the Investment Bank, particularly from
SPG. Net revenues in 1Q22 included a loss of CHF 353 million on the equity investment in Allfunds Group. Provision for credit losses in 1Q23 was CHF 4 million compared to a release of provision for credit losses of CHF 155 million in 1Q22 which reflected an assessment of the future recoverability of receivables
related to Archegos. Total operating expenses of CHF 740 million were stable, as higher restructuring expenses and higher general and administrative
expenses were offset by lower compensation and benefits and lower commission expenses.
Our 1Q23 loss before taxes of CHF 399 million compared to a loss before taxes of CHF 866 million in 4Q22. Net revenues increased CHF 486 million, mainly reflecting the gain on the Apollo transaction. Provision for credit losses of CHF 4 million compared to CHF 15 million in 4Q22. Total operating expenses increased 4%, mainly reflecting higher compensation and benefits and higher restructuring expenses,
partially offset by lower general and administrative expenses.

Capital and leverage metrics
As of the end of 1Q23, we reported RWA of CHF 39.7 billion, CHF 6.5 billion lower compared to the end of 4Q22, mainly due to movements in risk levels
in credit risk and market risk, reflecting the Apollo transaction, the sale of residual assets and de-risking activities across
the Non-Core Unit. Leverage exposure of CHF 119.6 billion decreased CHF 13.8 billion compared to the end of 4Q22. The reductions in leverage exposure related
to the Apollo transaction, the sale of residual assets and de-risking activities across
the Non-Core Unit, partially offset by an increase in HQLA allocations.
Net revenues
Compared to 1Q22, net revenues of CHF 345 million increased 81%, primarily reflecting a gain from the Apollo transaction of CHF 726 million, partially offset by a loss of revenues from businesses transferred from
the Investment Bank, particularly from SPG. Net revenues in 1Q23 also included losses on the valuation of certain financing arrangements
associated with the Apollo transaction. In 1Q22, net revenues included a loss of CHF 353 million on the equity investment in Allfunds Group.
Compared to 4Q22, net revenues increased CHF 486 million, mainly reflecting higher net revenues from the gain on the Apollo transaction.
In 4Q22, negative net revenues primarily reflected a combination of lower trading
revenues observed after the strategy announcement and costs incurred to de-leverage
the portfolio in response to the Group’s significant deposit outflows.
Provision for credit losses
In 1Q23, we recorded provision for credit losses of CHF 4 million compared to a release of provision for credit losses of CHF 155 million in 1Q22 and provision for credit losses of CHF 15 million in 4Q22. The release of provisions in 1Q22 reflected an assessment of the
future recoverability of receivables related to Archegos.
Total operating expenses
Compared to 1Q22, total operating expenses of CHF 740 million were stable, as higher restructuring expenses and higher general and administrative
expenses were offset by lower compensation and benefits and lower commission expenses. Restructuring
expenses of CHF 99 million increased CHF 66 million, mainly reflecting SPG-related expenses. General and administrative expenses
of CHF 321 million increased 8%, mainly driven by professional services. Compensation and benefits of CHF 302 million decreased 13%, reflecting lower discretionary compensation expenses and lower salary expenses,
primarily relating to the exit of prime services. Commission expenses of CHF 18 million decreased 70%, mainly driven by reduced trading activity, most notably from our prime services
business.
Compared to 4Q22, total operating expenses increased 4%, mainly reflecting higher compensation and benefits and higher restructuring expenses,
partially offset by lower general and administrative expenses. Compensation and benefits
increased 32%, as 4Q22 included lower deferred compensation relating to a downward adjustment to
performance share awards as a result of the full year 2022 Investment Bank loss and
forfeitures on staff departures. Restructuring expenses increased CHF 55 million, mainly reflecting SPG-related expenses. General and administrative expenses
decreased 21%, mainly reflecting lower corporate function allocations and lower litigation expenses.
As of the end of 1Q23, assets under management were CHF 1,252.6 billion, 3.2% lower compared to the end of 4Q22, with net asset outflows of CHF 61.2 billion in 1Q23.

In 1Q23, Credit Suisse experienced significant net outflows of assets under management.
> Refer to “Outflows in assets under management in 1Q23” in Credit Suisse for further
information.
> Refer to “Wealth Management”, “Swiss Bank” and “Asset Management” for further information.
1Q23 results
As of the end of 1Q23, assets under management of CHF 1,252.6 billion decreased CHF 41.0 billion compared to the end of 4Q22. The decrease was mainly driven by net asset outflows of CHF 61.2 billion, partially offset by favorable market movements of CHF 28.4 billion.
Net asset outflows of CHF 61.2 billion in 1Q23 mainly reflected outflows across the following businesses. Net asset outflows of
CHF 47.1 billion in Wealth Management were driven by outflows across all regions. Net asset
outflows of CHF 11.6 billion in Asset Management were driven by outflows from traditional investments,
in particular fixed income and index solutions, and from alternative investments,
primarily related to outflows in credit. Net asset outflows of CHF 6.9 billion in Swiss Bank mainly reflected outflows in the private clients business.
Additional financial metrics
Balance sheet
As of the end of 1Q23, total assets of CHF 540.3 billion increased 2% compared to 4Q22, reflecting higher operating activities, partially offset by a foreign
exchange translation impact. Excluding the foreign exchange translation impact, total assets increased CHF 12.6 billion, mainly reflecting significant increases in cash and due from banks,
including central bank liquidity facilities, partially offset by decreases in trading
assets and brokerage receivables.
Litigation
The Group’s estimate of the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses that are
not covered by existing provisions for certain proceedings for which the Group believes
an estimate is possible was zero to CHF 1.2 billion as of the end of 1Q23. Net litigation provisions recorded in 1Q23 were CHF 76 million.
Total shareholders’ equity
The Group’s total shareholders’ equity was CHF 54.1 billion as of the end of 1Q23 compared to CHF 45.1 billion as of the end of 4Q22. Total shareholders’ equity was positively impacted by net income attributable to shareholders,
partially offset by losses on fair value elected liabilities relating to credit risk
and foreign exchange-related movements on cumulative translation adjustments.
Liquidity metrics
Our three-month daily average LCR was 178% as of the end of 1Q23, an increase compared to 144% at the end of 4Q22. The increase in the LCR compared to 4Q22 was driven by a reduction
in net cash outflows, partially offset by a small decrease in HQLA. The decrease in
net cash outflows primarily resulted from a decrease in cash outflows from unsecured
wholesale funding, mainly driven by decreases in non-operational deposits and unsecured
debt as well as a decrease in outflows from credit and liquidity facilities mainly
provided to other financial institutions. The net HQLA reduction is inclusive of offsetting
gross movements driven by the aforementioned deposit outflows and subsequent liquidity
assistance.
> Refer to “Credit Suisse and UBS to merge” in Credit Suisse for further information.
The NSFR was 108% as of the end of 1Q23 compared to 117% as of the end of 4Q22. The decrease in the NSFR reflects a decrease in available
stable funding mainly attributed to a decrease in our deposits, partially offset by
a decrease in required stable funding, primarily related to a decrease in our securities
portfolio and our loans portfolio.
> Refer to “Liquidity issues in 1Q23” in Credit Suisse for further information.
Capital metrics
The CET1 ratio was 20.3% as of the end of 1Q23 compared to 14.1% as of the end of 4Q22. The tier 1 ratio was 20.3% as of the end of 1Q23 compared to 20.0% as of the end of 4Q22. The total capital ratio was 20.3% as of the end of 1Q23 compared to 20.0% as of the end of 4Q22.
CET1 capital of CHF 49.4 billion as of the end of 1Q23 increased 40% compared to CHF 35.3 billion as of the end of 4Q22, mainly due to the net income attributable to shareholders,
which included the impact of the additional tier 1 capital notes write-down.
Additional tier 1 capital decreased from CHF 14.7 billion as of the end of 4Q22 to CHF 0.0 billion as of the end of 1Q23 due to the additional tier 1 capital notes write-down.
Total eligible capital of CHF 49.4 billion as of the end of 1Q23 was stable compared to the end of 4Q22.
RWA of CHF 243.4 billion as of the end of 1Q23 decreased 3% compared to CHF 250.5 billion as of the end of 4Q22, mainly due to movements in risk levels and a negative
foreign exchange impact. The movements in risk levels were mainly due reduced secured
financing, securitizations and derivatives exposures in credit risk and de-risking
of our securitized products portfolio in market risk, primarily in the Capital Release
Unit.

Leverage metrics
The BIS tier 1 leverage ratio was 7.6% as of the end of 1Q23, with a BIS CET1 component of 7.6%.
Leverage exposure of CHF 653.0 billion as of the end of 1Q23 was stable compared to CHF 650.6 billion as of the end of 4Q22, as higher HQLA across most divisions, reflecting the
liquidity facilities was offset by lower leverage exposure in the Investment Bank,
mainly driven by timing on settlement of US treasury auctions, and in the Capital
Release Unit, related to the Apollo transaction, the sale of residual assets and de-risking
activities across the Non-Core Unit.

The Group’s independent registered public accounting firm has not completed a review
of the financial information in this Earnings Release. Any subsequent completion of
a review may result in changes to that information. Certain reclassifications have
been made to prior periods to conform to the current presentation.
For purposes of this Earnings Release, unless the context otherwise requires, the
terms “Credit Suisse”, “the Group”, “we”, “us” and “our” mean Credit Suisse Group
AG and its consolidated subsidiaries. The business of Credit Suisse AG, the direct
bank subsidiary of the Group, is substantially similar to the Group, and these terms
are used to refer to both when the subject is the same or substantially similar. The
term “the Bank” is used when referring to Credit Suisse AG and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Information referenced in this Earnings Release, whether via website links or otherwise,
is not incorporated into this Earnings Release.
Credit Suisse is subject to the Basel framework, as implemented in Switzerland, as
well as Swiss legislation and regulations for systemically important banks (Swiss
Requirements) (in each case, subject to certain phase-in periods), 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 adopted the BIS leverage ratio framework, as issued by the Basel Committee
on Banking Supervision 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.
We may not achieve all of the expected benefits of our strategic initiatives, such
as in relation to the proposed transaction between Credit Suisse and UBS, our intended
reshaping of the bank, cost reductions and strengthening and reallocating capital.
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 Russia’s invasion of Ukraine), the reaction by our clients, employees and others
to our proposed initiatives, enhanced risks to our businesses during the contemplated
transitions, changes in laws, rules or regulations and other challenges discussed
in our public filings, such as reputational harm resulting from prior events or reactions
to our strategic initiatives, could limit our ability to achieve some or all of the
expected benefits of these initiatives. Our ability to implement our strategy objectives
could also be impacted by timing risks, obtaining all required approvals and other
factors. See also “Cautionary statement regarding forward-looking information” in
Appendix, “Risk factors” in Credit Suisse and “Risk factors” in I – Information on the company in our Annual Report 2022 for further information.
The Group’s estimate of the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses that are
not covered by existing provisions which is discussed above relates only to those
proceedings for which the Group believes an estimate is possible and which are discussed
in the litigation note to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Group’s Annual
Report on Form 20-F and updated in its quarterly reports. 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. 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. For additional details, see the litigation
note to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Group’s Annual Report on Form
20-F and in each of its quarterly Financial Reports.
Investors and others should note that we announce important company information (including
quarterly earnings releases and financial reports as well as our annual sustainability
report) to the investing public using press releases, US Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) and Swiss ad hoc filings, our website and public conference calls and webcasts.

Excludes risks associated with counterparty and own credit exposures. Risk management
VaR measures the Group's risk exposure managed under the market risk framework and
generally includes the trading book positions and banking book positions held at fair
value.

Diversification benefit represents the reduction in risk that occurs when combining
different, not perfectly correlated risk types in the same portfolio and is measured
as the difference between the sum of the individual risk types and the risk calculated
on the combined portfolio.
|
2
As the maximum and minimum occur on different days for different risk types, it is
not meaningful to calculate a portfolio diversification benefit.

Weighted-average potential common shares related to instruments that were not dilutive
for the respective periods (and therefore not included in the diluted earnings per

were 11.1 million, 9.9 million and 14.5 million for 1Q23, 4Q22 and 1Q22, respectively.

Due to the net losses in 4Q22 and 1Q22, 7.8 million and 0.8 million, respectively,

from the diluted earnings per share calculation, as the effect would be antidilutive.

Cautionary statement regarding forward-looking information
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 statements as to the proposed transaction between Credit Suisse and UBS;
■ our plans, targets or goals;
■ our future economic performance or prospects;
■ the potential effect on our future performance of certain contingencies; and
■ assumptions underlying any such statements.
Words such as “may,” “could,” “achieves,” “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. Additionally, many of these factors
are beyond our control. These factors include, but are not limited to:
■ the consummation of the proposed transaction between Credit Suisse and UBS, and the
timing and implementation thereof;
■ 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;
■ the ongoing significant negative consequences, including reputational harm, of the
Archegos and supply chain finance funds matters, as well as other recent events, and
our ability to successfully resolve these matters;
■ the impact of media reports and social media speculation about our business and its
performance;
■ the extent of outflows of deposits and assets or future net new asset generation
across our divisions;
■ our ability to improve our risk management procedures and policies and hedging strategies;
■ 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, but not limited to,
the risk of negative impacts of COVID-19 on the global economy and financial markets,
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the resulting sanctions from the US, EU, UK, Switzerland
and other countries and the risk of continued slow economic recovery or downturn in
the EU, the US or other developed countries or in emerging markets in 2023 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 the COVID-19
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 initiatives, including those related to our targets,
ambitions and goals, such as our financial ambitions as well as various goals and
commitments to incorporate certain environmental, social and governance considerations
into our business strategy, products, services and risk management processes;
■ our ability to achieve our announced comprehensive new strategic direction for the
Group and significant changes to its structure and organization;
■ our ability to successfully implement the divestment of any non-core business;
■ the future level of any impairments and write-downs resulting from strategy changes
and their implementation;
■ 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;
■ geopolitical and diplomatic tensions, instabilities and conflicts, including war,
civil unrest, terrorist activity, sanctions or other geopolitical events or escalations
of hostilities, such as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine;
■ political, social and environmental developments, including climate change and evolving
ESG-related disclosure standards;
■ 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 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 protect 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 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. When
evaluating forward-looking statements, you should carefully consider the foregoing
factors and other uncertainties and events, including the information set forth in
“Risk factors” in I – Information on the company in our Annual Report 2022 and in “Risk factors” in Credit Suisse in our 1Q23 Earnings Release.
