Zurich, November 4, 2003 – Credit Suisse Group today announced a net profit of CHF 2.0 billion for the third quarter of 2003, including a gross after-tax gain of CHF 1.6 billion, or CHF 1.3 billion net of related provisions, from divestitures at Winterthur. Additionally, the Group’s third quarter 2003 net profit includes the strengthening by CHF 383 million after tax of certain provisions related to Winterthur’s current and former international business portfolio. Private Banking reported a strong net new asset inflow of CHF 8.4 billion. Credit Suisse Financial Services posted strong third quarter results in banking. Credit Suisse First Boston reported lower results compared with the second quarter of 2003, primarily reflecting dampened Fixed Income trading revenue, but continued to achieve significant progress on cost reduction.

Oswald J. Gruebel, Co-CEO of Credit Suisse Group and Chief Executive Officer of Credit Suisse Financial Services, stated, "I am especially pleased by the good results in Private Banking, where the increase in operating income is all the more significant given the seasonally lower revenue trends usually expected in the third quarter. At the same time, the strong growth in net new assets reflects our clients' confidence in our company."

John J. Mack, Co-CEO of Credit Suisse Group and Chief Executive Officer of Credit Suisse First Boston, said, "The sound profit reported by Credit Suisse First Boston in the third quarter, in spite of lower results in Fixed Income, demonstrates that we are continuing to make progress towards our goal of sustained profitability. Although our strict cost management over the last two years has provided us with a more competitive cost structure, our overall profitability is still not satisfactory as we continue to work through historical issues. I am confident that if we continue to focus on clients and their needs while building a unified culture, we will have consistently strong financial results in addition to a strong franchise."

Group Results

Credit Suisse Group reported a net profit of CHF 2.0 billion in the third quarter of 2003, compared with a net profit of CHF 1.3 billion in the second quarter of 2003 and a net loss of CHF 2.1 billion in the third quarter of 2002. For the first nine months of 2003, the Group reported a net profit of CHF 4.0 billion, compared with a net loss of CHF 2.4 billion for the first nine months of 2002. The net profit of CHF 2.0 billion in the third quarter of 2003 includes a gross after-tax gain of CHF 1.6 billion, or CHF 1.3 billion net of related provisions, from the divestitures of Winterthur’s Republic operations in the US, its Churchill operations in the UK and

Page 2 of 12

Winterthur Italy. Additionally, the Group’s net profit in the third quarter of 2003 includes the strengthening by CHF 383 million after tax of certain provisions related to Winterthur’s current and former international business portfolio. Earnings per share were CHF 1.66 for the third quarter of 2003, compared with earnings of CHF 1.09 per share for the second quarter of 2003. The Group’s return on equity was 26.3% in the third quarter of 2003, compared with 18.5% in the second quarter of 2003.

Page 3 of 12

The Group’s operating income totaled CHF 6.5 billion in the third quarter of 2003, down 13% from the second quarter of 2003 but up 15% from the third quarter of 2002. The decrease compared with the second quarter of 2003 was mainly attributable to a decline in trading income at Credit Suisse First Boston, which was partially offset by improved results within Private Banking.

The Group’s operating expenses in the third quarter of 2003 decreased 13% from the second quarter of 2003 and 18% from the third quarter of 2002, to CHF 4.4 billion. Personnel expenses declined 18% overall compared with the second quarter of 2003, reflecting lower incentive compensation accruals at Credit Suisse First Boston – in line with reduced operating income – and the impact of reversing the first six months of 2003 accrual for stock compensation in the third quarter of 2003 due to the previously announced change in the vesting of stock awards.

The Group’s total valuation adjustments, provisions and losses were CHF 215 million in the third quarter of 2003, compared with CHF 131 million in the second quarter of 2003. In the third quarter of 2003, net credit-related valuation allowances and provisions decreased slightly to CHF 96 million from the already low level of CHF 99 million in the second quarter of 2003. Compared with the third quarter of 2002, valuation adjustments, provisions and losses decreased CHF 758 million, or 78%, due primarily to lower credit valuation allowances and provisions reflecting an improvement in the credit environment, loan repayments and loan sales.

The Group’s consolidated BIS tier 1 ratio was 11.1% as of September 30, 2003, an increase from 10.3% as of June 30, 2003. Winterthur’s capital base was strengthened during the third quarter of 2003 as a result of earnings generation and the divestitures referred to above. In isolation, these divestitures increased Winterthur's EU solvency surplus capital by approximately CHF 3.5 billion, due to the combination of lower required capital and higher available capital.

In the third quarter of 2003, Credit Suisse Financial Services’ banking segments improved their results for the third consecutive quarter. The Private Banking segment reported a 3% increase in operating income in the third quarter of 2003 compared with the second quarter of 2003, due mainly to higher commission and fee income as a result of the higher average asset base and increased client activity. Due to this growth in operating income, together with a 4% decrease in operating expenses compared with the second quarter of 2003, Private Banking’s cost/income ratio improved by a further 4.0 percentage points to 55.1%, the lowest ratio

Page 6 of 12

in the past six quarters. Corporate & Retail Banking continued to improve its overall profitability and efficiency in the third quarter of 2003. The segment reported a further decrease in operating expenses of 4% compared with the second quarter of 2003, due mainly to lower personnel expenses in line with headcount development. The segment’s net interest margin rose 3 bp in the third quarter of 2003, to 215 bp. Corporate & Retail Banking’s cost/income ratio further improved to 64.4% in the third quarter of 2003, the lowest ratio in the last seven quarters. Additionally, the segment further strengthened its credit portfolio, with a reduction in impaired loans.

The insurance segments reported solid results for the first nine months of 2003, due primarily to the divestiture-related gains, strong investment performance, reduced administration costs and improved underwriting results. Life & Pensions reported a reduction in gross premiums written in the first nine months of 2003 compared with the first nine months of 2002, primarily reflecting its ongoing selective underwriting policy. The segment significantly reduced its administration costs in the first nine months of 2003, and its expense ratio decreased by 0.3 percentage points. Life & Pensions achieved an improved investment performance in the first nine months of 2003, with a total return on invested assets of 5.0%, compared with 1.5% in the first nine months of 2002. Insurance (casualty and property) recorded an increase in net premiums earned in the first nine months of 2003, due primarily to tariff increases across all major markets. The Insurance segment strengthened its net underwriting result before dividends to policyholders by CHF 218 million compared with the first nine months of 2002, reflecting an improvement in the combined ratio of 1.9 percentage points, to 101.6%, mainly as a result of improved pricing and the continued streamlining of its business portfolio. Demonstrating its continued progress in ongoing efficiency measures, the segment reduced

its administration costs in the first nine months of 2003 compared with the first nine months of 2002. Investment performance improved in the first nine months of 2003, with a total return on invested assets of 3.8% compared with
-0.3% in the first nine months of 2002.

Credit Suisse First Boston reported a net profit of USD 224 million (CHF 308 million) for the third quarter of 2003, down USD 58 million (CHF 65 million) compared with the second quarter of 2003. The business unit’s net operating profit of USD 358 million (CHF 491 million), which excludes the amortization of acquired intangible assets and goodwill net of tax, also declined compared with the second quarter 2003 results. The favorable resolution of certain outstanding income tax matters resulted in a 16% effective income tax rate in the third quarter of 2003, compared with 27% in the second quarter of 2003.

CSFB Financial Services	34	40	-15	109	-39

The Institutional Securities segment reported a decrease in operating income in the third quarter of 2003 compared with the second quarter of 2003, as the Fixed Income business was significantly impacted by conservative risk positioning which dampened its trading results but resulted in lower Value-at-Risk. While the Equity and Investment Banking divisions continued to see steady year-to-date improvements in cash trading and M&A activities, revenues in both units declined modestly compared with the second quarter of 2003. As a result of lower compensation accruals – discussed in the Group Results section above – and continued cost management, Institutional Securities reported a 24% decrease in operating expenses in the third quarter of 2003 compared with the second quarter of 2003. Credit Suisse First Boston’s franchise continued to benefit from its leading position in the high yield business. Within the CSFB Financial Services segment, Credit Suisse Asset Management’s operating income was comparable to the second quarter of 2003 and operating expenses increased marginally.

All comparative figures have been restated to reflect these business transfers.

Dear shareholders

Credit Suisse Group’s net profit in the third quarter of 2003 was CHF 2.0 billion. The third quarter net profit includes an after-tax gain of CHF 1.3 billion net of related provisions from divestitures at Winterthur. Additionally, the Group’s third quarter of 2003 net profit includes the strengthening by CHF 383 million after tax of certain provisions related to Winterthur’s current and former international business portfolio.

The Group made considerable progress during the third quarter of 2003. Most notably, Private Banking generated strong revenues, despite the typical third quarter seasonality. Private Banking’s operating income, combined with efficiency gains, resulted in a 79% increase in segment profit compared with the third quarter of 2002. Corporate & Retail Banking also benefited from increased efficiency and low credit provisions. In addition to making good progress in building capital and strengthening its balance sheet, Winterthur made additional improvements in expense reductions and pricing in the first nine months of 2003. Credit Suisse First Boston’s conservative risk positioning in light of US interest rate volatility reduced fixed income trading results but resulted in lower Value-at-Risk. The Equity and Investment Banking divisions of Credit Suisse First Boston continued to see modest improvements in client flows and business a ctivity.

At Credit Suisse Financial Services, the focus on cost management remained a priority and the banking segments reported a reduction in operating expenses in the third quarter, while the insurance segments reported a reduction in administration costs in the first nine months of 2003. At Credit Suisse First Boston, expenses declined, reflecting lower incentive bonus accruals and the change in the vesting period of stock awards. Having reduced the guaranteed portion of incentive-based compensation, Credit Suisse First Boston has delivered on its pledge to create a more flexible cost base. All banking segment results benefited from lower credit provisions as a result of the continued improvement in the credit markets.

Going forward, we are concentrating on producing sound profitability and will continue to focus on cost management, efficiency and building our client franchise.

1) In cooperation with the Swiss Federal Banking Commission, the capital treatment of the Group’s investment in Winterthur has been revised. Previously published comparative figures have been restated to reflect the new methodology. The Group’s previously published figures under the old methodology were 11.1% as of 30.06.03 and 9.7% as of 31.12.02 for the consolidated BIS tier 1 ratio, and 18.0% as of 30.06.03 and 16.5% as of 31.12.02 for the Group’s BIS total capital ratio.
2) Ratio is based on a tier 1 capital of CHF 12.1 bn (30.06.03: CHF 11.3 bn; 31.12.02: CHF 10.6 bn), of which non-cumulative perpetual preferred securities is CHF 1.0 bn (30.06.03: CHF 1.0 bn; 31.12.02: CHF 1.0 bn).
3) Ratio is based on a tier 1 capital of CHF 21.9 bn (30.06.03: CHF 20.5 bn; 31.12.02: CHF 17.6 bn), of which non-cumulative perpetual preferred securities is CHF 2.2 bn (30.06.03: CHF 2.2 bn; 31.12.02: CHF 2.2 bn).

AN OVERVIEW OF CREDIT SUISSE GROUP

Credit Suisse Group reported a net profit of CHF 2.0 billion in the third quarter of 2003 compared to CHF 1.3 billion in the previous quarter. The third quarter result includes an after-tax gain of CHF 1.3 billion net of related provisions from divestitures at Winterthur. Additionally, the Group’s third quarter result includes the strengthening by CHF 383 million after tax of certain provisions related to Winterthur’s current and former international business portfolio. Credit Suisse Financial Services substantially increased its third quarter net profit compared with the previous quarter, with strong results in the banking segments and continued improvements in the insurance segments in the course of the year. Credit Suisse First Boston reported a decrease in its third quarter results compared with the second quarter of 2003.

The Group reported a net profit of CHF 2.0 billion in the third quarter of 2003, a substantial increase from the previous quarter’s net profit of CHF 1.3 billion. The net profit of CHF 2.0 billion in the third quarter 2003 includes a gross after-tax gain of CHF 1.6 billion, or CHF 1.3 billion net of related provisions, from the divestitures of Winterthur’s Republic operations in the US, its Churchill operations in the UK and Winterthur Italy . Additionally, the Group’s net profit in the third quarter of 2003 includes the strengthening by CHF 383 million after tax of certain provisions related to Winterthur’s current and former international business portfolio. The Group’s third quarter performance was impacted by weaker trading income at Credit Suisse First Boston, which was partially compensated by improved results within the Credit Suisse Financial Services banking segments.

Net profit for the first nine months of 2003 was CHF 4.0 billion, compared to a net loss of CHF 2.4 billion in the same period of 2002. Earnings per share for the third quarter of 2003 were CHF 1.66, compared to CHF 1.09 for the second quarter of 2003. The Group’s return on equity was 26.3% in the third quarter of 2003, compared to 18.5% in the second quarter of 2003.

The Group’s third quarter result represents continued progress towards achieving sound profitability and restoring the capital base. It also reflects the realization of measures taken to reduce costs, increase the flexibility of the cost base, return Winterthur to profitability, reduce the impact of legacy assets at Credit Suisse First Boston and restructure European onshore Private Banking.

Credit Suisse Financial Services posted a net profit of CHF 1.8 billion in the third quarter of 2003, including the gain from the Winterthur divestitures and the additional provisions described above. This result compares with a net profit of CHF 851 million in the second quarter of 2003 and a net loss of CHF 1.2 billion in the third quarter of 2002. Although the third quarter has often proven to be a seasonally weak quarter, the banking segments in particular had a strong quarter, reflecting continued good margins and improvements in net new asset growth, thus demonstrating efficiency and the strength of the private banking franchise. Winterthur’s results reflected the divestitures, as well as lower administration costs and good investment income, which together improved its capital base and strengthened its balance sheet.

Credit Suisse First Boston reported a net profit of CHF 308 million for the third quarter of 2003, which was below the previous quarter’s net profit of CHF 373 million, but significantly improved compared to a net loss of CHF 668 million reported in the third quarter of 2002. Credit Suisse First Boston continues to reduce expenses and focus on its client franchise. Its third quarter result, however, reflects a lower fixed income trading result, which was impacted by conservative risk positioning in light of US interest rate volatility, thus resulting in reduced Value-at-Risk. While both the Equity and Investment Banking divisions continued to see steady improvements in client flows and M&A activity, operating income in both divisions declined compared with the second quarter of 2003. CSFB Financial Services’ operating income increased slightly compared with the previous quarter, with modest improvements in both Credit Suisse Asset Management and Private Client Services. Credit Suisse Asset Management launched an alternative investment initiative in the third quarter of 2003.

Equity capital

The Group’s consolidated BIS tier 1 ratio was 11.1% as of September 30, 2003, up from 10.3% as of June 30, 2003. These ratios reflect the new methodology for the BIS capital calculations as revised in cooperation with the Swiss Federal Banking Commission.

Winterthur’s capital base was strengthened during the third quarter of 2003 as a result of earnings generation and the sale of Winterthur’s Republic operations in the US, its Churchill operations in the UK and Winterthur Italy. In isolation, these divestitures increased Winterthur’s EU Group solvency surplus capital by approximately CHF 3.5 billion, due to the combination of lowered required capital and higher available capital.

Net new assets

Credit Suisse Group’s net new asset inflow in the third quarter of 2003 was dominated by an inflow from Private Banking of CHF 8.4 billion. Corporate & Retail Banking recorded an inflow of CHF 1.8 billion, whereas Life & Pensions had an outflow of CHF 0.7 billion. CSFB Financial Services recorded an outflow of CHF 5.6 billion, only slightly compensated by a net asset inflow of CHF 0.1 billion from the Institutional Securities segment. For Credit Suisse Group, a net new asset inflow of CHF 4.0 billion resulted in the third quarter of 2003, more than twice the net new asset inflow in the previous quarter. As of September 30, 2003, the Group’s total assets under management amounted to CHF 1,199.2 billion, practically unchanged compared to June 30, 2003.

Operating income and expenses

The Group’s operating income was CHF 6.5 billion in the third quarter of 2003, a decline of 13% from the previous quarter, but up 15% from the third quarter of 2002. The decrease compared with the second quarter of 2003 was mainly due to a decline in trading income, partially offset by increases in net interest and commission and service fee income.

The Group’s operating expenses in the third quarter of 2003 decreased 13% from the previous quarter and 18% from the third quarter of 2002 to CHF 4.4 billion, reflecting continued progress on cost management. Personnel expenses declined 18% overall compared with the previous quarter. This decrease reflects lower incentive compensation accruals at Credit Suisse First Boston, in line with lower operating income, and the impact of reversing the first six months of 2003 accrual for stock compensation in the third quarter of 2003 due to the previously announced change in vesting of stock awards. At Credit Suisse Financial Services, the continued focus on cost reduction resulted in a decrease in operating expenses in the banking segments in the third quarter of 2003 and in a decline in administration costs in the insurance segments in the first nine months of 2003.

Valuation adjustments, provisions and losses

The Group’s total valuation adjustments, provisions and losses were CHF 215 million in the third quarter of 2003, compared to CHF 131 million in the second quarter of 2003. In the third quarter of 2003, net credit-related valuation allowances and provisions decreased slightly to CHF 96 million from the already low level of CHF 99 million in the second quarter of 2003. Compared with the third quarter of 2002, valuation adjustments, provisions and losses decreased CHF 758 million, or 78%, primarily due to lower credit valuation allowances and provisions reflecting an improved credit environment, loan repayments and loan sales.

Business transfers

In the third quarter of 2003, the transfer of the securities and treasury execution platform in Switzerland from Credit Suisse First Boston to Credit Suisse Financial Services and the transfer of Credit Suisse First Boston’s Private Client Services UK business from CSFB Financial Services to Private Banking were completed. All comparative figures have been restated to reflect these business transfers. The consolidated financial statements were not affected. Since September 1, 2003, Credit Suisse Financial Services has been executing securities and treasury transactions in Switzerland for its private banking, retail and corporate clients under its own name. Credit Suisse First Boston’s investment banking and Swiss institutional coverage businesses in Switzerland remain unaffected by these changes.

Swiss GAAP accounting changes

Reported earnings in the fourth quarter will be affected by mandatory changes in Swiss GAAP for banks that are required to be applied at the end of the year. The changes of significance for Credit Suisse Group relate to the accounting for own shares and for derivatives. If these changes in accounting principles were to be applied in the current reporting period, the estimated impact on net profit (including the cumulative effect) for the first nine months of 2003 would be a decrease of approximately CHF 110 million, and the estimated impact on reported shareholders’ equity would be a decrease of CHF 0.6 billion. These changes have no impact on the Group’s regulatory capital adequacy ratios.

Outlook

Credit Suisse Group is benefiting from the measures taken in 2002 and 2003. Going forward, the Group will continue to concentrate on enhancing efficiency and building its client franchise and remains focused on producing sound profitability.

In the “Overview of Credit Suisse Group”, the business unit results are presented in accordance with Swiss GAAP. Elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, business unit results are presented on an operating basis.

RISK MANAGEMENT

Credit Suisse Group’s overall position risk measured on the basis of Economic Risk Capital (ERC) decreased by 4% in the third quarter of 2003 compared with the previous quarter, due mainly to lower foreign exchange, fixed income positions and insurance underwriting risks as well as lower international lending exposures. The more narrowly defined average Value-at-Risk (VaR) for the trading book of Credit Suisse First Boston decreased 20% in the third quarter of 2003, due mainly to lower interest rate positions and the introduction of a refined risk methodology for mortgages. The Group’s credit-related balance sheet exposure decreased 3% as of September 30, 2003, compared to June 30, 2003.

Credit Suisse Group’s 1-year, 99% position risk ERC decreased by 4% in the third quarter of 2003 compared with the previous quarter. The reduction was mainly due to lower foreign exchange exposures and lower insurance underwriting risks at Winterthur following the divestitures completed during the third quarter of 2003 as well as lower credit spread positions and lower international lending and counterparty exposures at Credit Suisse First Boston. At the end of the third quarter of 2003, 52% of the Group’s position risk ERC was with Credit Suisse First Boston, 44% with Credit Suisse Financial Services (of which 66% was with the insurance units and 34% with the banking units) and 4% with the Corporate Center.

Trading risks

The table below shows the trading-related market risk exposure for Credit Suisse First Boston, Credit Suisse Financial Services and Credit Suisse Group on a consolidated basis, as measured by 1-day, 99% VaR. At Credit Suisse First Boston, the average 1-day, 99% VaR in the third quarter of 2003 was CHF 69.3 million compared to CHF 87.0 million during the second quarter of 2003. This decrease was mainly due to lower interest rate positions and the introduction of a refined risk methodology for mortgages. The Credit Suisse First Boston VaR at the end of the third quarter of 2003 was 38% below the VaR at the end of the second quarter of 2003 adjusted for the methodology change. As shown on the backtesting chart, Credit Suisse First Boston had no backtesting exceptions over the last 12 months (on average, an accurate 1-day, 99% VaR model would have no more than 2.5 exceptions per annum). At Credit Suisse Financial Services, the average 1-day, 9 9% VaR in the third quarter of 2003 was CHF 15.0 million compared to CHF 15.7 million during the previous quarter. The decrease was mainly due to lower inventory positions in structured investment products, partially offset by the impact of the transfer of the securities and treasury execution platform in Switzerland from Credit Suisse First Boston to Credit Suisse Financial Services.

Credit risk exposure

Credit Suisse Group’s total credit-related exposure was 3% lower at September 30, 2003, compared to June 30, 2003. Exposure at Credit Suisse Financial Services increased 4%, while exposure at Credit Suisse First Boston was largely unchanged. The reduction on a consolidated basis was primarily a result of increased intercompany exposure that appears in the business unit figures but is eliminated in the Credit Suisse Group consolidation.

Compared to June 30, 2003, non-performing and total impaired loans for Credit Suisse Group declined as of the end of the third quarter 2003, with reductions reported in both business units. Compared with the previous quarter, total non-performing loans declined 10% at both business units and on a consolidated basis. The reduction in total impaired loans during the third quarter of 2003 was 11% at Credit Suisse Financial Services and 10% at Credit Suisse First Boston. The decline in impaired assets is attributable to repayments, improved credit situations, loan sales and write-offs.

The net credit-related valuation allowances and provisions charged to the income statement for the third quarter of 2003 was CHF 96 million, a slight decrease from the second quarter of 2003, but significantly below that recorded for the third quarter of 2002, particularly at Credit Suisse First Boston. Presented on page 11 are the additions, releases and recoveries included in calculating the net credit-related valuation allowances and provisions.

Coverage of non-performing loans and impaired loans by the valuation allowances improved for both Credit Suisse Group and Credit Suisse First Boston, while coverage declined slightly for Credit Suisse Financial Services. The quality of the credit exposure for Credit Suisse Group, as measured by counterparty rating, was largely unchanged from the second quarter of 2003.

2) As Credit Suisse Group does not manage its trading portfolios on a consolidated level, consolidated VaR calculations are performed on a monthly basis only. The average, maximum and minimum values therefore refer to the three month-ends during the quarter. The consolidated VaR calculations for Credit Suisse Group are net of diversification benefits between Credit Suisse First Boston and Credit Suisse Financial Services.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS UNITS | CREDIT SUISSE FINANCIAL SERVICES

Credit Suisse Financial Services recorded a net profit of CHF 1.8 billion in the third quarter of 2003. This result includes an after-tax gain resulting from divestitures of Winterthur of CHF 1.3 billion, net of related provisions. Additionally, Credit Suisse Financial Services’ third quarter result includes the strengthening by CHF 383 million after tax of certain provisions related to its current and former international business portfolio. The banking segments improved their results for the third consecutive quarter, due mainly to slightly higher operating income and lower operating expenses. Assets under management remained stable at CHF 713.9 billion at the end of the third quarter of 2003, despite a negative impact from the Winterthur divestitures. Net new assets almost doubled to CHF 9.5 billion versus the previous quarter.

In the third quarter of 2003, Credit Suisse Financial Services reported a net profit of CHF 1.8 billion versus a net loss of CHF 1.2 billion in the corresponding period of the previous year. The third quarter 2003 result includes an after-tax gain of CHF 1.3 billion, net of related provisions, from the divestitures of Winterthur’s Republic operations in the US, its Churchill operations in the UK and Winterthur Italy . Additionally, Credit Suisse Financial Services’ third quarter result includes the strengthening by CHF 383 million after tax of certain provisions related to its current and former international business portfolio. In the first nine months of 2003, Credit Suisse Financial Services recorded a net profit of CHF 3.3 billion versus a net loss of CHF 891 million in the corresponding period of the previous year. The business unit’s result in the third quarter of 2003 was also affected by the business transfers discus sed in “An overview of Credit Suisse Group – Business transfers” on page 7.

Winterthur’s capital base was strengthened during the third quarter of 2003 as a result of earnings generation and the above-mentioned divestitures. In isolation, these divestitures increased Winterthur’s EU Group solvency surplus capital by approximately CHF 3.5 billion, due to the combination of lowered required capital and higher available capital.

Assets under management for Credit Suisse Financial Services remained stable versus the end of the previous quarter and amounted to CHF 713.9 billion at the end of the third quarter of 2003, despite the CHF 13.7 billion negative impact of the Winterthur divestitures. Net new assets almost doubled in the third quarter of 2003 versus the previous quarter, amounting to CHF 9.5 billion for Credit Suisse Financial Services, with an especially strong contribution from Private Banking of CHF 8.4 billion.

As noted on page 5, the results of the Credit Suisse Financial Services business unit and its segments are discussed on an operating basis. For a reconciliation of operating basis business unit results to Swiss GAAP and a discussion of the material reconciling items, the purpose of the operating basis results and the reasons why management believes they provide useful information for investors, please refer to the “Reconciliation of operating results to Swiss GAAP” on pages 32 – 36.

Private Banking

In the third quarter of 2003, Private Banking reported a segment profit of CHF 519 million, an increase of 5% versus the previous quarter and 79% compared with the corresponding period of the previous year. Though the third quarter usually shows seasonal weakness, operating income increased 3%, to CHF 1.6 billion, versus the previous quarter. Compared with the third quarter of 2002, operating income rose 17%. Main drivers for this significant improvement since 2002 were higher commission and service fee income as a result of the higher average asset base and increased client activity.

Operating expenses in the third quarter of 2003 decreased by CHF 33 million, or 4%, to CHF 819 million quarter-on-quarter, and were down CHF 41 million, or 5%, compared with the corresponding period of 2002, in line with headcount development. In the third quarter of 2003, the cost/income ratio improved for the sixth consecutive quarter, decreasing 4.0 percentage points to 55.1%. The gross margin decreased to 125 bp in the third quarter of 2003, compared to 128 bp in the previous quarter, and increased 13 bp compared to 112 bp in the third quarter of 2002. The decrease in the third quarter of 2003 versus the previous quarter was mainly due to the higher average underlying asset base.

Net new assets more than doubled in the third quarter of 2003 to CHF 8.4 billion, compared to net inflows of CHF 3.8 billion in the second quarter of 2003. Assets under management were CHF 505.1 billion as of September 30, 2003, which reflects an increase of CHF 11.3 billion, or 2.3%, from June 30, 2003, and of CHF 39.4 billion, or 8.5%, versus December 31, 2002. Asian and European Private Banking again achieved good net new asset growth.

Corporate & Retail Banking

Corporate & Retail Banking reported a segment profit of CHF 169 million in the third quarter of 2003. The segment profit increased 8% versus the previous quarter and 54% compared with the corresponding period of the previous year. Operating income decreased slightly quarter-on-quarter, down 2% to CHF 789 million. This decrease is mainly due to lower other ordinary income that in the second quarter of 2003 contained realized gains from the recovery portfolio. Compared with the third quarter of 2002, Corporate & Retail Banking reported almost flat operating income. The net interest margin was 215 bp in the third quarter of 2003, corresponding to an increase of 3 bp from 212 bp in the previous quarter.

Operating expenses decreased CHF 20 million, or 4%, to CHF 483 million in the third quarter of 2003 versus the previous quarter, due mainly to lower personnel expenses in line with headcount development. Compared with the corresponding period of the previous year, operating expenses decreased CHF 56 million, or 10%, due to a reduction of both other operating expenses and personnel expenses.

In the third quarter of 2003, the cost/income ratio improved further to 64.4%, compared to 65.8% in the previous quarter and 72.8% in the third quarter of 2002. In the third quarter of 2003, the actual credit-related provisions recorded were CHF 24 million above the statistical valuation adjustments, but were CHF 20 million below the statistical valuation adjustments for the first nine months of 2003. The actual net credit-related valuation allowances and provisions in the third quarter of 2003 amounted to CHF 84 million and CHF 173 million for the first nine months of 2003. Impaired loans were further reduced by CHF 0.6 billion to CHF 5.0 billion in the third quarter of 2003 compared to June 30, 2003. The return on average allocated capital increased from 12.9% in the second quarter to 13.6% in the third quarter of 2003.

Net new assets of CHF 1.8 billion were recorded in the third quarter of 2003, compared to a net asset inflow of CHF 0.5 billion in the previous quarter. Assets under management were CHF 69.4 billion as of September 30, 2003, which reflects an increase of CHF 2.6 billion, or 3.9%, from June 30, 2003, and a decrease of 0.9 billion, or 1.3%, versus December 31, 2002.

Life & Pensions

In the first nine months of 2003, Life & Pensions reported a segment profit of CHF 354 million, representing a significant improvement from the loss of CHF 1.5 billion in the corresponding period of the previous year. In the third quarter of 2003, the segment profit amounted to CHF 126 million, including an after-tax gain of CHF 57 million from the divestiture of the Italian operations.

Life & Pensions reported a reduction in gross premiums written of 10%, or CHF 1.5 billion, to CHF 13.3 billion in the first nine months of 2003, compared with the same period of 2002. Adjusted for acquisitions, divestitures and exchange rate impacts, gross premiums written decreased 5%. The decline in reported gross premiums written in the first nine months of 2003 was primarily due to Life & Pensions’ ongoing selective underwriting policy and strong reported single premium growth during the first nine months of the previous year. Included in the gross premiums written for the first nine months of 2003 are premiums of the divested Winterthur Italy of CHF 692 million. Net new assets in the first nine months of 2003 amounted to CHF 2.0 billion.

In the first nine months of 2003, administration costs decreased 18%, or CHF 192 million, to CHF 862 million, compared with the corresponding period of the previous year. The expense ratio decreased 0.3 percentage points in the first nine months of 2003 to 10.6%, compared to 10.9% in the corresponding period of the previous year. Total expenses in the third quarter of 2003 were affected by additional amortization and write-downs of deferred acquisition costs of CHF 201 million, with a net impact of CHF 75 million on the segment result, recognized due to the lowered expectations for long-term investment returns.

Investment performance improved CHF 2.7 billion to CHF 3.8 billion in the first nine months of 2003, compared with the corresponding period of the previous year, primarily due to a significant decrease in equity impairments and realized losses. Reflecting the improved investment performance in the first nine months of 2003, the total return on invested assets amounted to 5.0%, compared to 1.5% in the corresponding period of 2002. Current income was 4.0% and realized gains/losses and other income/expenses were 1.0% in the first nine months of 2003.

In the first nine months of 2003, Insurance reported a segment profit of CHF 1.2 billion compared to a segment loss of CHF 1.0 billion in the corresponding period of the previous year. The strong recovery of the Insurance segment in the first nine months of 2003 was mainly driven by divestiture-related gains and a significant improvement in investment performance, as well as an improvement in its underwriting result, due mainly to the implementation of tariff increases and a continued strict underwriting policy.

In the third quarter of 2003, the segment profit amounted to CHF 991 million, including an after-tax gain of CHF 1.3 billion, net of related provisions, from the divestiture of its US subsidiary Republic Financial Services, Churchill Insurance Group in the UK and Winterthur Italy. In addition, certain provisions of CHF 383 million after tax related to the current and former international business portfolio were recorded in the third quarter.

In the first nine months of 2003, Insurance’s net premiums earned increased CHF 205 million, or 2%, to CHF 11.9 billion compared with the corresponding period of the previous year. Adjusted for acquisitions, divestitures and exchange rate impacts, net premiums earned increased 8%, primarily due to tariff increases across all major markets. Included in the net premiums earned in the first nine months of 2003 are premiums of the three divested Winterthur operations of CHF 4.5 billion.

Insurance improved its net underwriting result before dividends to policyholders by CHF 218 million in the first nine months of 2003, reflecting a combined ratio improvement of 1.9 percentage points to 101.6% in the first nine months of 2003, compared to 103.5% in the first nine months of the previous year. This improvement resulted from a decrease in the claims ratio of 1.5 percentage points to 73.2% in the first nine months of 2003 versus the corresponding period of the previous year, mainly reflecting benefits from improved pricing and continued streamlining of the business portfolio. The reported combined ratio of 103.6% in the third quarter of 2003 includes CHF 117 million of certain provisions related to the current and former international business portfolio, which corresponds to 3.1 percentage points in the combined ratio.

Administration costs decreased 8%, or CHF 123 million, to CHF 1.4 billion in the first nine months of 2003 compared with the corresponding period of the previous year, despite premium growth, reflecting continued progress in ongoing efficiency initiatives. Compared with the corresponding period of the previous year, the expense ratio improved 0.4% to 28.4% in the first nine months of 2003, with a reduction in administration costs offset by higher policy acquisition costs.

In the first nine months of 2003, Insurance reported net investment income of CHF 952 million versus a net investment loss of CHF 69 million in the corresponding period of the previous year, primarily due to a significant decrease in equity impairments and realized losses. Reflecting the improved investment performance in the first nine months of 2003, the total return on invested assets amounted to 3.8%, compared to –0.3% in the corresponding period of 2002. Current income was 3.9% and realized gains/losses and other income/expenses were –0.1% in the first nine months of 2003.

1) The presentation of segment results differs from the presentation of the Group's consolidated results as it reflects the way the insurance business is managed, which is in line with peers in the insurance industry. Certain acquisition-related costs, including amortization of acquired intangible assets and goodwill, not allocated to the segments are included in the business unit results.
2) This represents the market impact for separate account (or unit-linked) business, where the investment risk is borne by the policyholder.
3) In 4Q2002, Credit Suisse Group adopted a change in accounting principle relating to the recognition of deferred tax assets on net operating losses. The retroactive application of this change in accounting principle would have resulted in taxes for 3Q2002 and for the 9 months 2002 of CHF –302 m and CHF –247 m, respectively.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS UNITS | CREDIT SUISSE FIRST BOSTON

Credit Suisse First Boston reported a net profit of USD 224 million (CHF 308 million) in the third quarter of 2003, down 21% compared with the second quarter of 2003. Institutional Securities’ segment profit declined primarily on lower Fixed Income results partially offset by lower expenses. CSFB Financial Services’ segment profit declined compared with the previous quarter. Credit Suisse First Boston’s assets under management totaled USD 366.8 billion (CHF 485.3 billion) as of September 30, 2003.

Credit Suisse First Boston’s net operating profit in the third quarter of 2003, which is net profit excluding the amortization of goodwill and acquired intangible assets, net of tax, decreased to USD 358 million (CHF 491 million) from USD 412 million (CHF 548 million) in the second quarter of 2003, and increased compared to a net loss of USD 250 million (CHF 415 million) in the third quarter of 2002. For the first nine months of 2003, net operating profit was USD 1.0 billion (CHF 1.4 billion).

As announced previously, in the third quarter Credit Suisse First Boston introduced a three-year vesting period for future stock awards in line with its long-term service and retention strategy and industry practice in investment banking. Accordingly, future stock awards will be expensed over a three-year period beginning in 2004. The net pre-tax impact of this change in the third quarter was USD 90 million (CHF 122 million), and USD 65 million (CHF 88 million) after tax. The reversal of the pre-tax accrual for the first six months of 2003 of USD 173 million (CHF 234 million) was partially offset by an incremental incentive compensation accrual to achieve full year compensation objectives. This resulted in a ratio of personnel expenses to operating income, calculated on an operating basis, of 48.5% in the third quarter. The business unit review below includes the effects of this change in the expensing of stock awards .

Operating income in the third quarter of 2003 decreased 22% to USD 2.4 billion (CHF 3.4 billion) compared with the second quarter of 2003, as conservative risk positioning in light of US interest rate volatility reduced fixed income trading results and resulted in lower Value-at-Risk. Operating income from the Equity and the Investment Banking divisions also declined quarter-on-quarter by 8% and 11%, respectively. Compared with the third quarter of 2002, operating income decreased 6% in the third quarter of 2003, due to declines in the Fixed Income division and the sale of Pershing, partially offset by better performance in the legacy portfolio within the “Other” division.

Cost control continued to be a key goal for Credit Suisse First Boston during the third quarter of 2003. Operating expenses of USD 1.8 billion (CHF 2.5 billion) for the third quarter of 2003 decreased 21% compared with the previous quarter. Personnel expenses decreased 28% to USD 1.2 billion (CHF 1.6 billion) in the third quarter of 2003, compared to USD 1.6 billion (CHF 2.2 billion) in the second quarter of 2003, due primarily to lower incentive compensation accruals in line with lower revenue and the change in the vesting period of stock awards. In the third quarter of 2003, other operating expenses were 4% less than the second quarter of 2003.

Compared with the third quarter of 2002, third quarter 2003 operating expenses declined 15%, reflecting a 14% decline in personnel expenses, due to the implementation of the new vesting arrangements for future stock awards, lower incentive compensation accruals in line with lower operating income and reduced headcount. The 17% decline in other operating expenses was principally a result of ongoing cost containment efforts.

Valuation adjustments, provisions and losses of USD 80 million (CHF 111 million) increased 63% in the third quarter of 2003 compared with the second quarter of 2003 and included net credit-related valuation allowances and provisions of USD 7 million (CHF 10 million). Non-performing loans decreased 8% to USD 1.6 billion (CHF 2.1 billion) from June 30, 2003, and the ratio of valuation allowances to non-performing loans increased modestly to 129% during the third quarter of 2003. Compared with the third quarter of 2002, valuation adjustments, provisions and losses declined 86% on substantially lower credit provisions.

The decline of USD 81 million (CHF 105 million) in the amortization of retention payments from the second quarter of 2003 reflected the substantial completion of the DLJ retention award plan in June 2003.

The favorable resolution of certain outstanding tax matters resulted in a 16% effective income tax rate in the third quarter of 2003 compared to 27% in the second quarter of 2003.

On September 1, 2003, Credit Suisse First Boston transferred its securities and treasury execution platform in Switzerland to Credit Suisse Financial Services . It also transferred its Private Client Services UK business from CSFB Financial Services to Private Banking. The results for all periods presented have been restated to reflect these transfers and are discussed in “An overview of Credit Suisse Group – Business transfers” on page 7.

As noted on page 5, the results of the Credit Suisse First Boston business unit and its segments are discussed on an operating basis. For a reconciliation of operating basis business unit results to Swiss GAAP and a discussion of the material reconciling items, the purpose of the operating basis results and the reasons why management believes they provide useful information for investors, please refer to “Reconciliation of operating results to Swiss GAAP” on pages 32 – 36.

Institutional Securities

Institutional Securities reported a segment profit of USD 348 million (CHF 480 million) for the third quarter of 2003 compared to USD 453 million (CHF 604 million) in the second quarter of 2003 and a segment loss of USD 180 million (CHF 310 million) in the third quarter of 2002.

Operating income decreased 24% to USD 2.1 billion (CHF 3.0 billion) in the third quarter of 2003, compared with the second quarter of 2003 as a result of conservative risk positioning in the Fixed Income division and declines in the Equity and Investment Banking divisions. Third quarter 2003 operating expenses decreased 24% compared with the second quarter of 2003, largely due to lower compensation accruals and continued focus on cost control. Third quarter 2003 operating income was comparable with the third quarter of 2002, reflecting a significant reduction in legacy portfolio write-downs, largely offset by a decline in the Fixed Income division primarily due to a less favorable US interest rate environment. Operating expenses in the third quarter of 2003 decreased 10% compared with the third quarter of 2002, due to a decline in personnel expenses consistent with the trends explained for Credit Suisse First Boston overall. Third quarter 2003 valuation adjustments, provisions and losses of USD 80 million (CHF 111 million) were 43% higher than the second quarter of 2003, despite a decline in credit provisions that were principally due to loan repayments and loan sales, mainly reflecting markedly improved credit conditions.

Fixed Income ’s third quarter 2003 operating income of USD 819 million (CHF 1.1 billion) decreased 41% compared with the second quarter of 2003. Operating income was lower across most Fixed Income business lines. Structured products, most significantly residential mortgages, and the interest rate businesses were adversely impacted by lower volume, seasonal influences and conservative risk positioning in light of US interest rate volatility, resulting in reduced Value-at-Risk. Additionally, the level of securitizations declined compared with the robust second quarter of 2003. High yield operating income remained strong, although it was lower than the record-setting second quarter of 2003. Compared with the third quarter of 2002, operating income in the third quarter of 2003 decreased 26%, primarily due to declines in the interest rate and structured product businesses, offset in part by stronger high yield and credit trading results. Credit Suisse First Boston’s research strength was again recognized by a #2 ranking in Institutional Investor “All-America Fixed Income Research Team” survey and a top ranking for leveraged finance research as published in September 2003 .

The Equity division ’s third quarter 2003 operating income declined 8% to USD 675 million (CHF 931 million) compared with the second quarter of 2003. While operating income from the cash trading activity increased in all regions compared with the second quarter of 2003, operating income generated from derivatives activities, particularly related to convertible securities, was lower than the results recorded in the second quarter of 2003. Operating income in the third quarter of 2003 was comparable to the third quarter of 2002, with declines in index, options and structured products largely offset by an improvement in the convertible securities business.

Investment Banking ’s third quarter 2003 operating income, which includes private equity, decreased 11% to USD 572 million (CHF 790 million) compared with the second quarter of 2003. High yield and equity new issuance activity, particularly convertible securities, and private equity gains decreased in the third quarter of 2003 compared with the second quarter of 2003. Credit Suisse First Boston’s mergers and acquisition fee income increased, while the industry’s globally completed deals remained flat, based on US dollar volume, in the third quarter of 2003 compared with the second quarter of 2003. Investment Banking’s operating income in the third quarter of 2003 was comparable to last year’s third quarter. The third quarter of 2003 included improved syndicated finance and high yield new issuance results. Credit Suisse First Boston continued to be ranked first in underwriting global high yield new issuances in the third quarter of 2003.

The Other division reported third quarter 2003 operating income of USD 69 million (CHF 95 million), compared to operating income of USD 57 million (CHF 77 million) in the second quarter of 2003 and an operating loss of USD 240 million (CHF 377 million) in the third quarter of 2002. These increases in operating income were principally related to gains on sales of several legacy investments. All non-continuing legacy businesses produced operating income of USD 73 million (CHF 99 million) in the third quarter of 2003, compared to operating losses of USD 10 million (CHF 12 million) and USD 346 million (CHF 536 million) in the second quarter of 2003 and third quarter of 2002, respectively. Credit Suisse First Boston continues to reduce its net exposure of non-continuing legacy investments, totaling USD 2.4 billion (CHF 3.2 billion), including unfunded commitments on the real estate portfolio, as of September 30, 2003, down USD 60 million (CHF 154 million) from June 30, 2003.

CSFB Financial Services

CSFB Financial Services reported a segment profit of USD 34 million (CHF 46 million) for the third quarter of 2003, a decrease of 15% from the second quarter of 2003, predominantly due to an increase in personnel expenses. Compared with the third quarter of 2002, the segment profit decreased 11%. Operating income for the third quarter of 2003 was USD 287 million (CHF 395 million), up 3% compared with the second quarter of 2003 and down 40% compared with the third quarter of 2002. Operating expenses increased 4% compared with the second quarter of 2003 and decreased 40% compared with the third quarter of 2002. Excluding Pershing, operating income increased 6% compared with the third quarter of 2002, mainly as a result of higher Credit Suisse Asset Management results. Excluding Pershing, operating expenses increased 7% compared with the third quarter of 2002. Pershing’s third quarter 2002 operating income and operating expenses were USD 210 million (CHF 312 million) and USD 173 million (CHF 258 million), respectively. Pershing’s operating income for the first nine months of 2003 and 2002 was USD 15 million (CHF 21 million) and USD 650 million (CHF 1.0 billion), respectively, and operating expenses for the first nine months of 2002 were USD 506 million (CHF 805 million).

Credit Suisse Asset Management ’s operating income in the third quarter of 2003 was comparable with the second quarter of 2003. Total assets under management as of September 30, 2003 increased 0.4% compared with June 30, 2003, to USD 312.7 billion (CHF 413.7 billion), reflecting a USD 4.0 billion (CHF 5.5 billion) net outflow of assets, primarily related to institutional clients, offset by improved market performance and a favorable foreign exchange impact when expressed in US dollars. Compared with the third quarter of 2002, operating income increased 7%.

Private Client Services ’ operating income for the third quarter of 2003 increased 9% compared with the second quarter of 2003. Assets under management as of September 30, 2003 increased 2.9% to USD 49.2 billion (CHF 65.1 billion) compared to June 30, 2003, despite a USD 1.1 billion (CHF 1.5 billion) net outflow of assets. Compared with the third quarter of 2002, operating income decreased 7% in the third quarter of 2003, mainly reflecting declines in customer debit balances and reduced trading activity.

1) Comparative figures have been restated to reflect the transfer of the securities and treasury execution platform transactions of Credit Suisse First Boston in Switzerland to Credit Suisse Financial Services and the transfer of Credit Suisse First Boston's Private Client Services UK business from CSFB Financial Services to Private Banking. The operating basis business unit results reflect the results of the separate segments comprising the business unit. Certain acquisition-related costs, including acquisition interest, amortization of retention payments and amortization of acquired intangible assets and goodwill, not allocated to the segments are included in the business unit results. Certain other items, including brokerage, execution and clearing expenses, contractor and recruitment costs and expenses related to certain redeemable preferred sec urities classified as minority interests are presented in the operating basis business unit results based on the Group’s segment reporting principles. For a reconciliation and a discussion of the material reconciling items, please refer to “Reconciliation of operating results to Swiss GAAP”.
2) In 4Q2002, Credit Suisse Group adopted a change in accounting principle relating to the recognition of deferred tax assets on net operating losses. The retroactive application of this change in accounting principle would have resulted in taxes for 3Q2002 and for the 9 months 2002 of CHF 144 m (USD 88 m) and CHF 24 m (USD 15 m), respectively.
3) Excluding tax impact on acquisition-related costs.
4) Net profit/(loss) is identical on an operating and Swiss GAAP basis.

RECONCILIATION OF OPERATING RESULTS TO SWISS GAAP

Introduction

The Group’s consolidated results are prepared in accordance with Swiss GAAP, while the Group’s segment reporting principles are applied to the presentation of segment results. For a description of these reporting principles, please refer to “Operating and Financial Review – Reporting Principles” in the Group’s 2002 Annual Report. The operating basis business unit results reflect the results of the separate segments constituting the respective business units and certain acquisition-related costs that are not allocated to the segments. The Group’s consolidated results reflect the operating basis business unit results adjusted for certain reclassifications associated with the business units and consolidation adjustments in the Corporate Center in accordance with Swiss GAAP.

The tables below reconcile the operating basis business unit results to Swiss GAAP. The “Reclassifications” columns include acquisition-related costs and reclassifications related to management reporting policies as described below. Acquisition-related costs are excluded from the operating basis business unit results because management believes that this enables them and investors to better assess the results and key performance indicators of the business. The operating basis business unit results in management’s view provide a more useful indication of the financial performance of the operating business as they reflect the core businesses’ operating performance for the periods under review unaffected by the amortization of costs related to historical acquisitions.

Credit Suisse Financial Services business unit

The Credit Suisse Financial Services operating basis column reflects the results of the respective segments, excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets and goodwill, which are reflected in the reclassifications column. The Credit Suisse Financial Services operating basis business unit results are also adjusted for credit-related valuation adjustments, resulting from the difference between the statistical credit provisions recorded by its banking segments and actual credit provisions on a Swiss GAAP basis. In addition, gains or losses related to divestitures and sales of investments within the insurance business are recorded as operating income at the insurance segments and the business unit level and reclassified to extraordinary income/expenses in the reconciliation in accordance with Swiss GAAP.

Credit Suisse First Boston business unit

The Credit Suisse First Boston operating basis column reflects the results of the respective segments, excluding acquisition interest, amortization of retention payments and amortization of acquired intangible assets and goodwill, which are reflected in the reclassifications column. The Credit Suisse First Boston operating basis business unit results also deduct brokerage, execution and clearing expenses from other operating expenses (reclassified as a reduction in operating income in the consolidated results); deduct from other operating expenses contractor and certain staff recruitment costs (reclassified as an addition to personnel expenses in the consolidate results); and add to operating income expenses related to certain redeemable preferred securities (reclassified as minority interests in the consolidated results). This presentation brings Credit Suisse First Boston in line with its US competitors in the investment banking industry and facilitates comparison to its peers, which management believes is useful for investors. Swiss GAAP does not permit brokerage, execution or clearing expenses, contractor costs and certain staff recruitment costs to be reported as part of other operating expenses. The presentation of redeemable preferred securities of Credit Suisse First Boston issued by consolidated special purpose entities as an expense reducing its operating income is intended to present more fairly the operating results from its core businesses because they reflect the operating performance for the periods under review unaffected by the funding costs related to historical acquisitions.

1) Effective in the first quarter 2003, declines in value of debt securities and loans available for sale due to deterioration in creditworthiness are reported in “Sundry ordinary expenses”. In previous years they were recorded in “Valuation adjustments, provisions and losses from the banking business”.
2) Includes amortization of Present Value of Future Profits (PVFP) from the insurance business.
3) In 4Q2002, Credit Suisse Group adopted a change in accounting principle relating to the recognition of deferred tax assets on net operating losses. The retroactive application of this change in accounting principle would have resulted in taxes for 3Q2002 and for the 9 months 2002 of CHF –306 m and CHF –400 m, respectively.

	CSFB performance was dampened by lower fixed income results reflecting conservative risk positioning in light of interest rate volatility, while the business unit demonstrated expense flexibility and continued to experience low credit charges

YEAR-END 2003 PREVIEW
IMPLEMENTATION OF REVISED RRV-EBK*

	Announced by EBK in December 2002, effective as of January 1, 2003
	Changes to be applied prospectively, i.e. no restatement
	Credit Suisse Group will implement full-year impact in Q4/2003
	Impact predominantly from business unit CSFB

Change	Description		Pro-forma impact
Accounting for own shares		Income related to treasury shares to be recorded directly in equity		For nine months 2003: decrease of CHF 120 m to net profit
		Treasury shares and share award-related liabilities to be recorded directly in equity		At September 30, 2003: net decrease of CHF 0.6 bn to shareholders' equity
		In line with US GAAP treatment		No impact on regulatory capital adequacy ratios
Accounting for derivatives		Revised hedge accounting principles and documentation requirements		For nine months 2003: decrease of CHF 180 m to net profit (before cumulative effect)
		Freestanding derivative valuations are marked to market		Cumulative positive effect from prior years of CHF 190 m, net of tax
		Strategic hedges disallowed

* EBK = Swiss Federal Banking Commission      RRV = Swiss Banking GAAP as promulgated by the EBK

Slide 10

US GAAP PREVIEW
DIVESTITURES TRIGGER ASSESSMENT OF US GAAP GOODWILL

Swiss GAAP
	Merger accounted for applying the pooling of interests method
	Historical carrying values maintained for Winterthur's assets and liabilities
	No goodwill from merger but also no increase in equity account
	Recent divestitures resulted in an after-tax gain of CHF 1.6 bn gross, or CHF 1.3 bn net of related provisions

US GAAP
	Merger accounted for under the purchase method
		assets and liabilities valued at fair market value at transaction date
	Difference between the net fair value of assets / liabilities acquired and the market capitalization of Winterthur recorded as
		goodwill, with corresponding
		increase in shareholders' equity
	At January 1, 2003, the remaining additional US GAAP goodwill amounted to CHF 3.5 bn
	Net result of recent divestitures under US GAAP significantly lower due to the higher book values and allocated goodwill

• 41% decline, as the residential and commercial mortgages
and the interest rate businesses were adversely impacted
by lower volumes, fewer securitizations, seasonal influences
and a lower risk profile

• Strong in high yield but lower than record-setting Q2/03

• Down 8%, but cash trading activities improved in
all regions

• Results generated from derivatives activities, particularly
related to convertible securities, lower than the results
recorded in previous quarter

• 11% decrease, driven by less significant private equity
investment sales

• Mergers and acquisitions fee income increased, while
industry dollar volume of completed deals remains
