Dear shareholders
For the first quarter of 2014, we generated Core pre-tax income of CHF 1,940 million in our strategic businesses and achieved a strong return on equity of 14% – well within reach of our 15% through-the-cycle target. This strong performance was driven by significantly improved profitability in Private Banking & Wealth Management, solid returns in Investment Banking and continued effective cost and capital management. Reported Core pre-tax income for the first quarter was CHF 1,400 million and the reported return on equity was 8%. We saw continued momentum with clients across many of our key businesses in the first quarter, including the highest net asset inflows in our strategic businesses since the first quarter of 2011 and a meaningful increase in the share of assets under management from ultra-high-net-worth clients.

Progress in our two divisions
We substantially improved the profitability of our strategic businesses in Private Banking & Wealth Management, delivering pre-tax income of CHF 965 million for the quarter, a 28% increase compared to the prior-year quarter. The Wealth Management Clients business improved its net margin to 29 basis points from 23 basis points in the prior-year quarter. In line with our strategy, we also increased the share of assets under management from ultra-high-net-worth clients in this business to 46%, compared to 43% in the same period of last year. Corporate & Institutional Clients continued to make a strong contribution to the division’s overall performance, and Asset Management more than doubled its pre-tax income compared to the first quarter of 2013 as a result of its more focused approach. In Private Banking & Wealth Management, we recorded net new assets of CHF 16.0 billion from strategic businesses in the quarter and total net new assets of CHF 13.7 billion. These inflows reflect our strength in key emerging markets within Asia Pacific, which grew at a 17% annualized rate, Latin America and the Middle East, our strong position in our Swiss home market, and significant inflows in alternative investments and index products within our Asset Management business.
In Investment Banking, we delivered solid returns despite more challenging market conditions during the quarter, demonstrating the strength of our diversified franchise. Investment Banking’s





strategic businesses reported pre-tax income of CHF 1,124 million and a return on capital of 21%. We delivered a strong performance in securitized products, credit and underwriting and advisory, as well as solid results in equities. At the same time, the first quarter seasonal contribution from our rates business and certain emerging markets businesses was significantly lower compared to prior years, as the industry adapts to structural changes in the rates business combined with challenging market conditions in certain emerging markets. We further expanded our strong market share position in equities and saw good momentum with clients in our underwriting and advisory franchises.

Progress in executing strategy to support cash returns to shareholders
In terms of our strategic focus, we continued to optimize resource allocation in order to grow our high-returning businesses, particularly in Private Banking & Wealth Management. At the same time, we made progress in winding down positions in our non-strategic units.
In Private Banking & Wealth Management, we plan to continue to build on our growth momentum in emerging markets and expand our lending initiatives targeting ultra-high-net-worth clients. We intend to complete the repositioning of our activities in certain less profitable markets where we have an onshore presence and we will work to further improve the net margin in our Wealth Management Clients business. Additionally, we plan to further enhance our integrated offering, both within the Private Banking & Wealth Management division and in close collaboration with the Investment Banking division.
In Investment Banking, we will continue to focus on our market-leading and high-returning businesses, including our top-three equities franchise, a strong and profitable underwriting and advisory business and a fixed income franchise focused on high-returning yield businesses. As part of this focus, we are transitioning our rates business to become a more client-focused and capital-light franchise, as announced in October 2013.
We maintained our resilient leverage and capital positions and are on track to meet our long-term targets, notwithstanding methodology changes that led to an increase in risk-weighted assets in the quarter. As of quarter-end, we reported a Look-through Basel III CET1 ratio of 10.0% and a Look-through Swiss leverage ratio of 3.7%. We also further increased the efficiency of our operations during the first quarter. Since the second quarter of 2011 when we first announced our cost measures, we have reduced the Group’s cost base by CHF 3.4 billion on an annualized, adjusted basis.
In the first quarter of 2014, we continued to work toward resolving legacy litigation matters. In March 2014, we announced an agreement with the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), effectively resolving the largest mortgage-related legal dispute between Credit Suisse and investors dating back to the financial crisis. Moreover, we are continuing our efforts to resolve legal cases related to our former cross-border private banking business with US clients. In February 2014, we reached a settlement with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on the US cross-border matter. The United States Department of Justice’s investigation into the US tax matter remains outstanding and, while we are working hard to bring this to a close, the timing and outcome remain uncertain.
Given our progress in executing our strategy, combined with the strong performance of our strategic businesses in the first quarter of 2014, our intention remains to deliver cash returns to our shareholders at or above 2013 levels.
We would like to thank our shareholders and clients for the trust they have placed in Credit Suisse and, in particular, our employees for their contribution to the success of our business.

Sincerely

Urs Rohner                        Brady W. Dougan

As of January 1, 2013, Basel III was implemented in Switzerland along with the Swiss “Too Big to Fail” legislation and regulations thereunder. The related disclosures are in accordance with the current interpretation of such requirements, including relevant assumptions. Changes in the interpretation of these requirements in Switzerland or in any of Credit Suisse’s assumptions or estimates could result in different numbers from those shown herein.

Unless otherwise noted, leverage ratio, leverage exposure and total capital amounts included herein are based on the current FINMA framework. The Swiss leverage ratio is calculated as Swiss total eligible capital, divided by a three-month average leverage exposure, which consists of balance sheet assets, off-balance sheet exposures, which consist of guarantees and commitments, and regulatory adjustments, which include cash collateral netting reversals and derivative add-ons.

All expense reduction metrics against 6M11 annualized total expenses are measured at constant foreign exchange rates and exclude realignment and other significant expense items and variable compensation expenses. For further information regarding these measures, see the 1Q14 Results Presentation Slides.

Operating environment

Global economic activity was mixed in 1Q14. Major equity markets ended the quarter almost unchanged, volatility increased slightly driven by geopolitical concerns and government benchmark bond yields decreased. The performance of the US dollar against most major currencies was mixed in 1Q14.


Economic environment
The global economic environment showed some signs of softening in 1Q14, driven mainly by the US and China. The moderation in US economic growth appeared to be largely due to the negative effects of adverse weather conditions in January and February. Leading indicators in the US showed signs of an economic recovery in March, but employment growth and manufacturing production remained below the average of the preceding quarter. Chinese economic data was weaker than expected early in the quarter and leading indicators in China for March disappointed hopes of an economic rebound. The Chinese government announced stimulus measures aiming to achieve the official gross domestic product annual growth rate target of 7.5% for 2014. Eurozone economic data on the other hand, showed further improvement and leading indicators in Europe indicate that economic activity was rising again in France, which has lagged other large eurozone economies in recent months.
The US Federal Reserve (Fed) decided, at its meeting in March, to reduce the pace of its monthly asset purchases to USD 55 billion effective as of April 2014. In addition, it adjusted its forward guidance by linking the federal funds rate to a broad set of indicators instead of just the unemployment rate. The European Central Bank (ECB) left its main refinancing rate unchanged, but indicated that it would act if the medium-term outlook for inflation worsened. Responding to depreciation pressure on their currencies, the central banks of Turkey and Russia raised their policy rates substantially.
Major equity markets ended the quarter almost unchanged. Geopolitical concerns and a perceived crisis in emerging markets weighed on equities. Among developed markets, Japan performed the worst after a robust performance in 2013. Emerging markets continued to lag developed markets. Reflecting the risk averse climate in 1Q14, defensive sectors outperformed cyclical sectors, while utilities and healthcare sectors outperformed the market generally. The overall equity markets traded with slightly higher volatility for most of the quarter, as measured by the Chicago Board Options Exchange Market Volatility Index (VIX), while risk appetite, as measured by the Credit Suisse equity risk appetite index, declined. The Credit Suisse Hedge Fund Index increased 0.9% in 1Q14.

Geopolitical turmoil in Ukraine and concerns about Chinese economic growth significantly weighed on risk appetite, resulting in a decrease in 10-year benchmark bond yields in 1Q14 (refer to the charts “Yield curves”). In contrast, US dollar and British pound 2-year benchmark bond yields finished the first quarter slightly higher, reflecting expectations of further reductions in monetary stimulus activity. With a search for yield continuing, credit markets posted a good performance in 1Q14. Credit spreads tightened the most in the European high yield segment (refer to the chart “Credit spreads”). While emerging market sovereign spread performance was mixed, emerging market hard currency bonds recorded positive total returns in 1Q14.
US dollar performance in 1Q14 against most major currencies was mixed. The euro and British pound depreciated against the US dollar in January. However, continued softer US economic data, likely impacted by adverse weather conditions, weakened the US dollar in February and March. The Canadian dollar weakened as the Bank of Canada left open the possibility to cut interest rates. On the other hand, the Australian and New Zealand dollars appreciated as the Australian central bank became more restrictive and the New Zealand central bank began increasing interest rates. The euro was slightly weaker against the Swiss franc because of market expectations that the ECB could ease its monetary policy. In emerging markets, the People's Bank of China widened the daily trading range for the renminbi and allowed the currency to depreciate versus the US dollar.
Commodity markets had a good start into the year. The major commodity indices gained more than 4% during 1Q14, mainly driven by precious metals and agricultural markets. There were gold purchases due to increased geopolitical risks and, in agriculture, prices for soy, wheat and corn gained strongly due to adverse weather conditions in North America and Latin America. Prices for industrial metals and energy products had smaller increases. Both sectors benefited to some extent from the economic recovery in developed markets, but lagged other sectors due to the still weak growth momentum in emerging markets during 1Q14.

Sector environment
After strongly outperforming the broader market in the beginning of the quarter, European bank stocks increased 2% in 1Q14, slightly better than global equity markets as measured by the MSCI World index. North American bank stocks increased 5% (refer to the charts “Equity Markets”).
In private banking, clients maintained a cautious investment stance, with cash deposits remaining high despite the low interest rates. The low interest rate environment continued to adversely impact earnings. Although the Swiss National Bank (SNB) reiterated concerns about the build-up of imbalances in mortgage and real estate markets in Switzerland, Swiss mortgage rates remained at low levels. Overall the wealth management sector continued to adapt to further industry-specific regulatory changes.
For investment banking, global equity trading volumes increased compared to both 4Q13 and 1Q13, driven by higher volumes across European and US cash equities. Global announced mergers and acquisitions (M&A) volumes increased compared to 4Q13 and 1Q13. Global completed M&A volumes decreased compared to 4Q13 and was slightly lower versus 1Q13. Global equity underwriting volumes decreased versus 4Q13 but increased compared to 1Q13. Global debt underwriting volumes increased compared to 4Q13 and decreased versus 1Q13. US fixed income volumes decreased compared to 4Q13 with lower mortgage-backed volumes. Compared to 1Q13, weaker treasuries, federal agency and mortgage-backed volumes were partially offset by higher volumes of corporates.

Information and developments
Format of presentation and changes in reporting
In managing the 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, individual revenue categories may not be indicative of performance.
As of January 1, 2013, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) Basel III framework was implemented in Switzerland along with the Swiss “Too Big to Fail” legislation and regulations thereunder. Our related disclosures are in accordance with our current interpretation of such requirements, including relevant assumptions. Changes in the interpretation of these requirements in Switzerland or in any of our assumptions or estimates could result in different numbers from those shown in this report.
References to Swiss leverage exposure refer to the aggregate of balance sheet assets, off-balance sheet exposures, consisting of guarantees and commitments, and regulatory adjustments, including cash collateral netting reversals and derivative add-ons.
> Refer to “Swiss leverage ratio” in II – Treasury, risk, balance sheet and off-balance sheet – Capital management – Swiss capital metrics for further information.

In 4Q13, we created non-strategic units within our Private Banking & Wealth Management and Investment Banking divisions and separated non-strategic items in Corporate Center. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods to conform to the current presentation.
> Refer to “Introduction of non-strategic units” in II – Operating and financial review – Credit Suisse – Information and developments in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2013 for further information.

Discontinued operations
The Private Banking & Wealth Management division completed the sale of our Customized Fund Investment Group (CFIG) business in January 2014, and in 4Q13 announced the sale of our domestic private banking business booked in Germany to ABN AMRO, which is expected to close in the course of 2014. These transactions qualify for discontinued operations treatment under US generally accepted principles (US GAAP), and revenues and expenses of these businesses and the relevant gains on disposal are classified as discontinued operations in the Group’s consolidated statements of operations. In the Private Banking & Wealth Management segment, the gains and expenses related to the business disposals are included in the segment’s non-strategic results. The reclassification of the revenues and expenses from the segment results to discontinued operations for reporting at the Group level is effected through the Corporate Center.

Credit Suisse results include revenues and expenses from the consolidation of certain private equity funds and other entities in which we have noncontrolling interests without significant economic interest (SEI) in such revenues and expenses. Core Results include the results of our two segments and the Corporate Center and discontinued operations, but do not include noncontrolling interests without SEI.



Fair valuations
Fair value can be a relevant measurement for financial instruments when it aligns the accounting for these instruments with how we manage our business. The levels of the fair value hierarchy as defined by the relevant accounting guidance are not a measurement of economic risk, but rather an indication of the observability of prices or valuation inputs.
> Refer to “Note 1 – Summary of significant accounting policies” and “Note 27 – Financial instruments” in III – Condensed consolidated financial statements – unaudited for further information.

Models were used to value financial instruments for which no prices are available and which have little or no observable inputs (level 3). Models are developed internally and are reviewed by functions independent of the front office to ensure they are appropriate for current market conditions. The models require subjective assessment and varying degrees of judgment depending on liquidity, concentration, pricing assumptions and risks affecting the specific instrument. The models consider observable and unobservable parameters in calculating the value of these products, including certain indices relating to these products. Consideration of these indices is more significant in periods of lower market activity.
As of the end of 1Q14, 47% and 32% of our total assets and total liabilities, respectively, were measured at fair value.
While the majority of our level 3 assets are recorded in Investment Banking, some are recorded in Private Banking & Wealth Management’s Asset Management business, specifically certain private equity investments. Total assets at fair value recorded as level 3 decreased by CHF 1.7 billion during 1Q14, primarily due to a decrease in other investments, partially offset by an increase in loans. The decrease in other investments primarily reflected net sales partially offset by realized and unrealized gains. The increase in loans primarily reflected net issuances.
Our level 3 assets, excluding assets attributable to noncontrolling interests and assets of consolidated variable interest entities (VIEs) that are not risk-weighted assets under the Basel framework, were CHF 30.0 billion, compared to CHF 29.8 billion as of the end of 4Q13. As of the end of 1Q14, these assets comprised 4% of total assets and 8% of total assets measured at fair value, both adjusted on the same basis, unchanged from 4Q13.
We believe that the range of any valuation uncertainty, in the aggregate, would not be material to our financial condition, however, it may be material to our operating results for any particular period, depending, in part, upon the operating results for such period.

Regulatory developments and proposals
Government leaders and regulators continued to focus on reform of the financial services industry, including capital, leverage and liquidity requirements, changes in compensation practices and systemic risk.
> Refer to “Regulation and supervision” in I – Information on the company in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2013 for further information.

Results overview
Core Results net revenues of CHF 6,469 million decreased 8% compared to 1Q13.
In our strategic businesses, net revenues of CHF 6,553 million decreased 7% compared to 1Q13, with a decrease in Investment Banking and stable net revenues in Private Banking & Wealth Management. The decrease in Investment Banking was driven by weakness in rates and emerging markets, partially offset by strong performance in credit, securitized products and underwriting and advisory and solid equities results. Stable net revenues in Private Banking & Wealth Management reflected higher transaction- and performance based revenues and higher recurring commissions and fees, offset by lower net interest income and lower other revenues.
In our non-strategic businesses, we reported net revenue losses of CHF 84 million in 1Q14, compared to net revenues of zero in 1Q13. In Investment Banking we reported net revenue losses of CHF 147 million in 1Q14, compared to net revenue losses of CHF 72 million in 1Q13 as 1Q13 results reflected a gain of CHF 77 million from a sale in our real estate portfolio. A decrease in Private Banking & Wealth Management primarily reflected lower recurring commissions and fees due to the sale of non-strategic businesses during the course of 2013 and lower transaction- and performance-based revenues. Improved results in Corporate Center were primarily due to a cumulative translation adjustment loss of CHF 80 million from the sale of JO Hambro Investment Management (JO Hambro) in 1Q13 and a gain on sale of real estate of CHF 34 million in 1Q14.
> Refer to “Private Banking & Wealth Management”, “Investment Banking” and “Corporate Center” for further information.

Provision for credit losses of CHF 34 million in 1Q14 primarily reflected net provisions of CHF 33 million in Private Banking & Wealth Management.
Total operating expenses of CHF 5,035 million were down 3% compared to 1Q13, primarily reflecting 21% lower commission expenses and 2% lower general and administrative expenses. In strategic businesses, total operating expenses of CHF 4,595 million decreased 4% compared to 1Q13, mainly reflecting a 7% decrease in general and administrative expenses. In non-strategic businesses, total operating expenses of CHF 440 million increased 11% compared to 1Q13, primarily reflecting a 32% increase in general and administrative expenses.
Income tax expense of CHF 543 million recorded in 1Q14 reflected the impact of the geographical mix of results and the impact of a New York state tax law change which resulted in a decrease of related deferred tax assets of CHF 151 million. Overall, net deferred tax assets decreased CHF 535 million to CHF 5,256 million as of the end of 1Q14 compared to 4Q13. Deferred tax assets on net operating losses increased by CHF 56 million to CHF 1,436 million during 1Q14. The Core Results effective tax rate was 38.8% in 1Q14, compared to 11.9% in 4Q13. Excluding the impact resulting from the New York state tax law change, the Core Results effective tax rate for 1Q14 was 28.0%.

A significant portion of our business requires inter-regional coordination in order to facilitate the needs of our clients. The methodology for allocating our results by region is dependent on management judgment. For Wealth Management Clients and Corporate & Institutional Clients, results are allocated based on the management reporting structure of our relationship managers and the region where the transaction is recorded. For Asset Management, results are allocated based on the location of the investment advisors and sales teams. For Investment Banking, trading results are allocated based on where the risk is primarily managed and fee-based results are allocated where the client is domiciled.


Cost savings and strategy implementation
We continued to adapt our client-focused, capital-efficient strategy to optimize our use of capital and improve our cost structure. We target cost savings of CHF 3.8 billion by the end of 2014 and more than CHF 4.5 billion by the end of 2015. These targets are measured against our annualized 6M11 expense run rate measured at constant foreign exchange rates and adjusted to exclude business realignment and other significant non-operating expenses and variable compensation expenses.
The majority of the expected future savings is expected to be realized from shared infrastructure and support services across the Group, mainly through the consolidation of fragmented and duplicate functions globally and the continued consolidation of IT applications and functions.
We have also targeted further savings within our two operating divisions. Within Private Banking & Wealth Management, we expect to deliver cost benefits from the creation of the integrated Private Banking & Wealth Management division, exiting a number of small non-strategic markets, repositioning select non-profitable onshore operations, rationalization of front office and support functions, including simplification of our operating platform, streamlining of the offshore affluent and Swiss client coverage model and from announced divestitures. Within Investment Banking, we expect to deliver cost benefits from the restructuring of our rates business, the initiatives already completed in 2012, from continuing to review and realize efficiencies across business lines and geographic regions and from continuing to refine our business mix and align resources with highest returning opportunities. We expect to incur approximately CHF 1.2 billion of costs associated with these measures during the remainder of 2014 and 2015.
We incurred CHF 62 million of business realignment costs and CHF 61 million of IT architecture simplification expenses associated with these measures in 1Q14.
> Refer to “Cost savings and strategy implementation” in II – Operating and financial review – Core Results – Information and developments in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2013 for further information.

Compensation and benefits
Compensation and benefits for a given year reflect the strength and breadth of the business results and staffing levels and include fixed components, such as salaries, benefits and the amortization of share-based and other deferred compensation from prior-year awards, and a discretionary variable component.
The variable component reflects the performance-based variable compensation for the current year. The portion of the performance-based compensation for the current year deferred through share-based and other awards is expensed in future periods and is subject to vesting and other conditions.

Personnel
Headcount at the end of 1Q14 was 45,600, down 400 from 4Q13 and down 1,300 from 1Q13. The decrease in 1Q14 reflected headcount reductions in Investment Banking and Private Banking & Wealth Management resulting from our cost efficiency initiatives, partly offset by contractor employee conversion. The changes in the segment headcount include a reallocation of 400 Shared Services employees from Investment Banking to Private Banking & Wealth Management in 1Q14. Prior periods have not been restated.

Key performance indicators
Our key performance indicators (KPIs) for the Group and for our Private Banking & Wealth Management and Investment Banking divisions reflect our strategic plan, the regulatory environment and the market cycle. Our stated KPIs are measured on the basis of reported results.
We believe the execution of our strategic initiatives including the run-off of non-strategic operations, will enable us achieve our targets over a three to five year period across market cycles.
> Refer to “Key performance indicators” in Private Banking & Wealth Management and Investment Banking results for further information on divisional KPIs.

Collaboration revenues
Collaboration revenues are calculated as the percentage of the Group’s net revenues represented by the aggregate collaboration revenues arising when more than one of the Group’s divisions participate in a transaction. Within the Private Banking & Wealth Management division, collaboration revenues include revenues arising from cross-selling and client referral activities between the Wealth Management Clients and Corporate & Institutional Clients businesses on the one hand and the Asset Management and the securities trading and sales businesses on the other hand.
> Refer to “Key performance indicators” in II – Operating and financial review – Core Results – Information and developments in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2013 for further information on key performance indicators including collaboration revenues.

Key performance indicators
Our KPIs are targets to be achieved over a three to five year period across market cycles. As such, year to date results may be more meaningful than individual quarterly results. Our KPIs are assessed annually as part of our normal planning process and may be revised to reflect our strategic plan, the regulatory environment and market and industry trends.

Private Banking & Wealth Management

In 1Q14, we reported income before taxes of CHF 1,012 million and net revenues of CHF 3,240 million.
In our strategic businesses, we reported income before taxes of CHF 965 million and net revenues of CHF 3,031 million. Net revenues were lower compared to 4Q13 mainly due to seasonally higher fourth-quarter transaction- and performance-based revenues and lower net interest income. Compared to 1Q13, income before taxes increased 28%, driven by lower operating expenses.
In our non-strategic businesses, we reported income before taxes of CHF 47 million. In 4Q13, we reported losses before taxes of CHF 624 million, reflecting substantial litigation provisions in connection with the US tax matter.
In 1Q14, assets under management for the division were CHF 1,292.5 billion and we attracted net new assets of CHF 13.7 billion.

Strategic results


Overview
Our strategic results comprise businesses from Wealth Management Clients, Corporate & Institutional Clients and Asset Management.

1Q14 results
In 1Q14, our strategic businesses reported income before taxes of CHF 965 million and net revenues of CHF 3,031 million.
Net revenues were 7% lower compared to 4Q13 largely driven by significant seasonal performance fees in Asset Management in 4Q13. Compared to 1Q13, net revenues were stable with higher transaction- and performance-based revenues and slightly higher recurring commissions and fees, offset by lower net interest income and lower other revenues. Provision for credit losses was CHF 17 million on a net loan portfolio of CHF 217.6 billion. Total operating expenses were lower compared to both 4Q13 and 1Q13.

Results detail
The following provides a comparison of our 1Q14 strategic results versus 1Q13 (YoY) and versus 4Q13 (QoQ).

Net revenues
Net interest income includes a term spread credit on stable deposit funding and a term spread charge on loans. Recurring commissions and fees includes investment product management, discretionary mandate and other asset management-related fees and fees for general banking products and services. Transaction- and performance-based revenues arise primarily from brokerage and product issuing fees, foreign exchange fees from client transactions, performance-based fees related to assets under management and custody assets, trading and sales income, placement fees, equity participations income and other transaction-based income. Other revenues include investment-related gains and losses and equity participations and other gains and losses.

YoY: Stable at CHF 3,031 million
Net revenues were stable as higher transaction- and performance-based revenues and slightly higher recurring commissions and fees were offset by lower net interest income and lower other revenues. Transaction- and performance-based revenues were higher with higher carried interest on realized private equity gains and higher corporate advisory fees, partially offset by lower sales and trading income and lower foreign exchange client business. Slightly higher recurring commissions and fees reflected higher investment account and services fees, higher discretionary mandate management fees and higher banking services fees, partially offset by lower investment product management fees. In a low interest rate environment, net interest income was lower due to significantly lower deposit margins and stable loan margins on higher average deposit and loan volumes. Lower other revenues reflected lower investment-related gains.

QoQ: Down 7% from CHF 3,260 million to CHF 3,031 million
Lower net revenues primarily reflected significantly lower transaction- and performance-based revenues and lower net interest

21



income, partially offset by higher other revenues. Significantly lower transaction- and performance-based revenues reflected seasonally higher performance fees in Asset Management in 4Q13, partially offset by higher brokerage and product issuing fees and higher sales and trading income in 1Q14. Lower net interest income reflected lower deposit margins on stable average deposit volumes and slightly higher loan margins on slightly higher average loan volumes. Higher other revenues mainly reflected an impairment related to Asset Management Finance LLC (AMF) in 4Q13. Stable recurring commissions and fees mainly reflected lower asset management fees and lower investment product management fees, offset by higher banking services fees and higher discretionary mandate management fees.

Provision for credit losses
The Wealth Management Clients loan portfolio is substantially comprised of residential mortgages in Switzerland and loans collateralized by securities. Our Corporate & Institutional Clients loan portfolio has relatively low concentrations and is mainly secured by mortgages, securities and other financial collateral.

YoY: Down 26% from CHF 23 million to CHF 17 million
Provision for credit losses decreased CHF 6 million. Wealth Management Clients recorded net provisions of CHF 16 million and Corporate & Institutional Clients recorded net provisions of CHF 1 million in 1Q14.

QoQ: Down 37% from CHF 27 million to CHF 17 million
Provision for credit losses was lower in Wealth Management Clients and lower in Corporate & Institutional Clients. In 4Q13, Wealth Management Clients recorded net provisions of CHF 18 million while Corporate & Institutional Clients recorded net provisions of CHF 9 million.

Operating expenses
Compensation and benefits
YoY: Down 6% from CHF 1,307 million to CHF 1,225 million
Lower compensation and benefits mainly reflected lower salary expenses, mostly as a result of the lower headcount.

QoQ: Stable at CHF 1,225 million
Slightly lower discretionary performance-related compensation and lower salary expenses were offset by slightly higher deferred compensation.

General and administrative expenses
YoY: Down 10% from CHF 736 million to CHF 660 million
Lower general and administrative expenses primarily reflected lower expense provisions and lower occupancy fees.

QoQ: Down 12% from CHF 750 million to CHF 660 million
Lower general and administrative expenses primarily reflected lower professional services fees, lower expense provisions and lower advertising and marketing costs.

Business developments
In April 2014, we entered into an agreement with the current head of Credit Suisse Hedging-Griffo Asset Management pursuant to which he will be the controlling shareholder of a new firm, Verde Asset Management, and we will be a minority shareholder. The new structure for this relationship follows a model adopted by our Asset Management business designed to strengthen its platform in Brazil. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and the approval of the change of management to Verde Asset Management by shareholders of the relevant funds managed by Credit Suisse Hedging-Griffo. The transaction is expected to close by year-end 2014.

Wealth Management Clients

Net revenues
Net interest income
YoY: Down 5% from CHF 746 million to CHF 706 million
Lower net interest income reflected the low interest environment, significantly lower deposit margins on slightly higher average deposit volumes and stable loan margins on higher average loan volumes and lower levels of deposits eligible as stable funding.

QoQ: Down 7% from CHF 760 million to CHF 706 million
Lower net interest income reflected lower deposit margins and slightly higher loan margins on stable average deposit and loan volumes.

Recurring commissions and fees
YoY: Up 2% from CHF 717 million to CHF 730 million
Recurring commissions and fees were slightly higher with higher investment account and services fees and higher discretionary mandate management fees, partially offset by lower investment product management fees, including lower retrocession revenues.

QoQ: Down 2% from CHF 742 million to CHF 730 million
Recurring commissions and fees were slightly lower with lower investment product management fees, partially offset by higher discretionary mandate management fees.

Transaction- and performance-based revenues
YoY: Up 2% from CHF 624 million to CHF 638 million
Transaction- and performance-based revenues increased slightly reflecting higher corporate advisory fees and higher placement and transaction fees, partially offset by lower foreign exchange client business.

QoQ: Up 15% from CHF 554 million to CHF 638 million
The increase in transaction- and performance-based revenues was driven by higher brokerage and product issuing fees and higher sales and trading revenues, partially offset by lower performance fees.

Results detail
The following provides a comparison of our 1Q14 non-strategic results versus 1Q13 (YoY) and versus 4Q13 (QoQ).

Net revenues
YoY: Down 23% from CHF 270 million to CHF 209 million
The decrease in net revenues primarily reflected lower recurring commissions and fees due to the sale of non-strategic businesses during the course of 2013 and lower transaction- and performance-based revenues. Investment-related gains were also lower, partially offset by the equity participations gain of CHF 91 million from the sale of CFIG in January 2014.

QoQ: Up 24% from CHF 169 million to CHF 209 million
The increase mainly reflected the gain from the sale of CFIG in 1Q14, partially offset by lower recurring commissions and fees and lower transaction- and performance-based revenues from the sale of non-strategic businesses.

Operating expenses
YoY: Up 4% from CHF 140 million to CHF 146 million
Higher operating expenses reflected severance expenses related to a business sale that we expect to complete in the course of 2014, partially offset by lower expenses resulting from the sale of businesses during 2013.

QoQ: Down 81% from CHF 776 million to CHF 146 million
Lower operating expenses reflected the litigation provisions of CHF 600 million in connection with the US tax matter, costs related to the sale of former Asset Management businesses and a goodwill impairment of CHF 12 million resulting from the creation of the non-strategic reporting unit, all in 4Q13.

Business developments
On January 2, 2014, we completed the sale of CFIG to Grosvenor Capital Management.

In March 2014, we completed the spin-off of DLJ Merchant Banking Partners, our mid-market leveraged buyout business, for no consideration to aPriori Capital Partners L.P., an independent advisory firm established and controlled by members of the business’ management.

Assets under management

In 1Q14, assets under management of CHF 1,292.5 billion increased CHF 10.1 billion compared to the end of 4Q13, as positive market movements and net new assets were partially offset by structural effects, mostly arising from disposals of businesses in the non-strategic unit, and adverse foreign exchange-related movements.
In our strategic portfolio, Wealth Management Clients contributed net new assets of CHF 10.6 billion in 1Q14 with continued strong inflows from emerging markets, particularly in Asia Pacific, and Switzerland, partially offset by Western European cross-border outflows. Corporate & Institutional Clients in Switzerland reported net new assets of CHF 0.4 billion in 1Q14. Asset Management reported net new assets of CHF 6.9 billion in 1Q14, driven by inflows in credit products and traditional products, with substantial contribution from index strategies, and partially offset by net asset outflows in fixed income products.
Assets under management in our non-strategic portfolio decreased to CHF 25.9 billion from CHF 44.4 billion in 4Q13 mainly as a result of the sale of CFIG.

Investment Banking

In 1Q14, Investment Banking reported income before taxes of CHF 827 million and net revenues of CHF 3,416 million. Investment Banking delivered solid results amid a challenging market environment. In our strategic businesses, net revenues declined 11% compared to 1Q13 as strong performance in our credit, securitized products and underwriting and advisory and solid equities results were offset by significantly reduced first quarter seasonal contribution from rates and certain emerging markets than experienced in previous years. Compared to 4Q13, our strategic businesses delivered significantly improved revenues, reflecting seasonally stronger trading volumes and client activity in our fixed income and equities businesses which more than offset lower results in our underwriting and advisory franchises. In 1Q14, we made progress in winding-down the non-strategic unit, including reducing leverage exposure, risk-weighted assets and funding costs.

Strategic results


OVERVIEW
In 1Q14, our strategic businesses reported income before taxes of CHF 1,124 million and net revenues of CHF 3,563 million.
Fixed income sales and trading revenues declined significantly from 1Q13, driven by substantially reduced client activity and challenging trading conditions in our global macro products and emerging markets businesses. Revenues increased significantly compared to 4Q13 due to a seasonal increase in client activity, resulting in higher revenues across most of our fixed income businesses.
Equities sales and trading revenues were solid, albeit lower than 1Q13, reflecting lower cash equities and systematic market making revenues, partially offset by higher derivatives revenues. Revenues increased compared to 4Q13, reflecting higher results in derivatives and prime services.
Underwriting and advisory results were higher compared to 1Q13, driven by market share gains. Revenues decreased compared to 4Q13, driven by lower equity underwriting and advisory results reflecting lower industry activity.
Results in 1Q14 were impacted by the weakening of the average rate of the US dollar against the Swiss franc, which negatively impacted revenues and favorably impacted expenses. Compared to 1Q13, revenues decreased 11% and total operating expenses decreased 2% in Swiss francs while revenues declined 8% and total operating expenses increased 3% in US dollars. Compared to 4Q13, revenues were up 27% and total operating expenses were up 5% in Swiss francs while revenues increased 29% and total operating expenses increased 6% in US dollars.
As of the end of 1Q14, we reported risk-weighted assets under Basel III of USD 167 billion, up USD 11 billion from 4Q13, reflecting increases of USD 6 billion from external methodology changes (externally prescribed regulatory changes) and USD 5 billion from internal methodology changes and model and parameter updates. Additionally, we reported Swiss leverage exposure in our strategic businesses of USD 742 billion, reflecting a modest increase from 4Q13 due to seasonal market activity in equities and increased commitments in credit.

The following provides a comparison of our strategic 1Q14 results versus 1Q13 (YoY) and versus 4Q13 (QoQ).

Net revenues
Debt underwriting
YoY: Up 2% from CHF 461 million to CHF 468 million
The increase was primarily due to strong results in leveraged finance as high yield market share gains more than offset lower global high yield industry-wide issuance volumes. Results reflected weak structured lending performance in emerging markets as origination activity was adversely impacted by widening credit spreads. We also had lower investment grade revenues.

QoQ: Down 3% from CHF 483 million to CHF 468 million
The increase was driven by higher revenues from leveraged finance reflecting market share gains and increased high yield industry volumes. The increase was partially offset by lower investment grade revenues and lower structured lending results in emerging markets.

Equity underwriting
YoY: Up 17% from CHF 157 million to CHF 183 million
The increase reflected significantly higher revenues from IPOs driven by substantially higher industry volumes and higher market share in Europe Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and Asia Pacific. We also had higher results from follow-on offerings reflecting market share gains in the Americas. Additionally, we had improved convertibles results driven by higher market share which more than offset lower industry-wide issuance activity.

QoQ: Down 33% from CHF 274 million to CHF 183 million
The declines in revenues primarily reflected strong performance in 4Q13. Revenues from initial public offerings (IPOs) were substantially lower, as stable market share was more than offset by significantly lower industry volumes. Additionally, we had significantly weaker results from follow-on offerings and lower convertibles revenues as higher market share was more than offset by substantially lower industry volumes for both products.

33



Advisory and other fees
YoY: Up 24% from CHF 145 million to CHF 180 million
Revenues increased primarily due to higher M&A fees driven by strong performance in the Americas, as significantly higher completed M&A volumes and an increase in the Americas M&A fee pool more than offset decreased completed M&A market share in the region.

QoQ: Down 7% from CHF 194 million to CHF 180 million
The decrease was driven by seasonally lower M&A fees as market share gains were more than offset by lower global industry-wide completed M&A volumes.

Fixed income sales and trading
YoY: Down 21% from CHF 2,028 million to CHF 1,609 million
Fixed income revenues declined significantly driven by reduced first quarter seasonal contribution from rates and certain emerging markets, resulting in difficult trading conditions during the quarter. Substantially weaker results in global macro products reflected lower revenues across rates, foreign exchange and commodities. Foreign exchange revenues declined, driven by challenging market conditions in emerging markets and following strong results in 1Q13 due to quantitative easing in Japan. Rates revenues were negatively impacted by a regulatory-driven shift in the market structure towards electronic trading and clearing and uncertainty regarding market direction leading to muted client activity. We also had significantly lower revenues from emerging markets compared to a strong 1Q13 result due to weaker trading performance in Latin America and EMEA while Asia remained strong. Corporate lending revenues also declined. The decreases were partially offset by strong results in securitized products driven by higher client activity in non-agency securities and mortgage servicing and market share gains in asset finance. We also had higher global credit products revenues reflecting our market-leading leveraged finance franchise.

QoQ: Up 99% from CHF 808 million to CHF 1,609 million
Revenues increased significantly as a seasonal increase in client activity resulted in higher results across most of our fixed income businesses. We had substantially higher revenues in global credit products, primarily driven by strong leveraged finance results and higher investment grade performance, both reflecting strong secondary trading activity. We also had significantly higher securitized products revenues driven by increased client trading activity in non-agency and agency securities. In addition, global macro products revenues improved significantly, primarily driven by higher rates results. Emerging markets revenues also increased, driven by higher origination activity reflecting more favorable market conditions, and improved trading revenues in Asia.

Equity sales and trading
YoY: Down 8% from CHF 1,316 million to CHF 1,207 million
The decrease was primarily due to lower cash equities and systematic market making. The decrease in cash equities revenues reflected unfavorable trading conditions in Latin America partially offset by commission growth in the US and Europe. Systematic market making decreased due to less favorable trading conditions compared to 1Q13, which included the positive impact of quantitative easing in Japan. The revenue declines were partially offset by higher derivatives revenue reflecting increased client flows across products and regions. Prime services revenues also increased reflecting continued market leadership, growth in client balances and increased client activity in Europe.

QoQ: Up 13% from CHF 1,070 million to CHF 1,207 million
The increase was due to significantly stronger derivatives results driven by seasonally higher market volumes. We had higher results in prime services reflecting higher client balances and improved performance in convertibles. Cash equities revenues were down as strong client activity in most regions was more than offset by difficult trading conditions in Latin America.

Operating expenses
Compensation and benefits
YoY: Up 2% from CHF 1,459 million to CHF 1,495 million
Compensation and benefits expense increased slightly as lower salaries, reflecting lower headcount, were offset by higher deferred compensation expense from prior year awards and higher discretionary compensation expense.

QoQ: Up 12% from CHF 1,335 million to CHF 1,495 million
The increase was primarily due to higher deferred compensation expense from prior year awards and higher discretionary compensation expense.

General and administrative expenses
YoY: Down 5% from CHF 776 million to CHF 735 million
The decrease was primarily driven by lower technology costs and lower litigation provisions.

QoQ: Down 7% from CHF 790 million to CHF 735 million
The increase was primarily driven by lower technology costs and other professional fees.

Non-strategic results


Overview
Non-strategic results for Investment Banking include the fixed income wind-down portfolio, legacy rates business, primarily non-exchange-cleared instruments and capital-intensive structured positions, legacy funding costs associated with non-Basel III compliant debt instruments, as well as certain legacy litigation costs and other small non-strategic positions.
In 1Q14, we continued to make progress on the wind-down strategy in the non-strategic unit. We reported a loss before taxes of CHF 297 million and net revenue losses of CHF 147 million. We had higher net revenue losses, as 1Q13 results reflected a gain of CHF 77 million from a sale in our real estate portfolio. Performance also reflected improved funding costs from portfolio management of both our legacy debt instruments

34



and trading assets. Total operating expenses decreased compared to 1Q13 and 4Q13, driven by substantially lower litigation provisions.
As of the end of 1Q14, we reported risk-weighted assets under Basel III of USD 19 billion, down USD 1 billion from 4Q13, with decreases of USD 3 billion from business reductions partially offset by increases of USD 2 billion from external methodology changes. This compares to our risk-weighted assets target of USD 6 billion by year-end 2015. Additionally, we reported Swiss leverage exposure of USD 79 billion, a reduction of USD 8 billion, or 9% from 4Q13. This compares to our target of USD 24 billion in Swiss leverage exposure by year-end 2015.

The following provides a comparison of our non-strategic 1Q14 results versus 1Q13 (YoY) and versus 4Q13 (QoQ).

Net revenues
YoY: Down 104% from CHF (72) million to CHF (147) million
Net revenue losses in our fixed income wind-down portfolio increased as 1Q13 results included a gain of CHF 77 million from a sale in our real estate finance legacy portfolio. We also incurred higher net revenue losses in our legacy rates business reflecting valuation gains in 1Q13. Increased net revenue losses were partially offset by significantly lower funding costs reflecting portfolio management of both our legacy debt instruments and trading assets. At the end of the quarter, risk-weighted assets under Basel III totaled USD 19 billion, down USD 1 billion from 1Q13.

QoQ: Down 16% from CHF (127) million to CHF (147) million
Results reflected increased net revenue losses as 4Q13 revenues included significant valuation gains. Increased net revenue losses were partially offset by significantly lower funding costs, reflecting portfolio management of both our legacy debt instruments and trading assets. At the end of the quarter, risk-weighted assets under Basel III totaled USD 19 billion, down USD 1 billion from 4Q13.

Total operating expenses
YoY: Down 14% from CHF 174 million to CHF 150 million
The decrease was driven by lower litigation provisions.

QoQ: Down 83% from CHF 905 million to CHF 150 million
The decrease was driven by substantially lower litigation provisions as 4Q13 included mortgage-related matters of CHF 806 million.

35



Corporate Center

In 1Q14, we recorded a loss before taxes of CHF 439 million, primarily reflecting fair value losses from movements in own credit spreads, business realignment costs and IT architecture simplification expenses. These negative impacts were partially offset by gains from the sale of real estate.


Results overview
Corporate Center includes parent company operations such as Group financing, expenses for projects sponsored by the Group and certain expenses and revenues that have not been allocated to the segments. It also includes consolidation and elimination adjustments required to eliminate intercompany revenues and expenses.
Corporate Center separately presents non-strategic items, which management does not consider representative of our core performance. Such items include the valuation impacts from movements in credit spreads on our own liabilities carried at fair value, certain business realignment costs, IT architecture simplification expenses, certain litigation provisions, business wind-down costs and impairments not included in the divisional non-strategic units and legacy funding costs associated with non-Basel III compliant debt instruments not included in the results of the Investment Banking non-strategic unit.
In 1Q14, losses before taxes of CHF 439 million increased 17% compared to 1Q13, mainly reflecting IT architecture simplification expenses of CHF 61 million in 1Q14, higher fair value losses from movements in own credit spreads of CHF 120 million in 1Q14 compared to CHF 80 million in 1Q13, as well as higher reclassifications to discontinued operations of CHF 56 million in 1Q14 compared to CHF 17 million in 1Q13. Fair value losses of CHF 92 million on own long-term vanilla debt reflected the narrowing of credit spreads on senior and subordinated debt across most currencies. The higher losses in 1Q14 results were partly offset by a cumulative translation adjustment loss of CHF 80 million from the sale of JO Hambro in 1Q13, gains on sale of real estate of CHF 34 million in 1Q14 and lower realignment costs of CHF 62 million in 1Q14 compared to CHF 92 million in 1Q13.

Impact from movements in own credit spreads
Our Core Results revenues are impacted by changes in credit spreads on fair-valued Credit Suisse long-term vanilla debt and debit valuation adjustments (DVA) relating to certain structured notes liabilities carried at fair value. Our Core Results are also impacted by fair value gains/(losses) on stand-alone derivatives relating to certain of our funding liabilities and reflect the volatility of cross-currency swaps and yield curve volatility and, over the life of the derivatives, will result in no net gains/(losses). These fair value gains/(losses) are recorded in the Corporate Center.

Assets under management

We had net asset inflows from continuing operations of CHF 14.7 billion during 1Q14 and assets under management from continuing operations of CHF 1,281.1 billion as of the end of 1Q14.

Assets under management
Assets under management comprise assets that are placed with us for investment purposes and include discretionary and advisory counterparty assets.
Discretionary assets are assets for which the client fully transfers the discretionary power to a Credit Suisse entity with a management mandate. Discretionary assets are reported in the business in which the advice is provided as well as in the business in which the investment decisions take place. Assets managed by Asset Management for Wealth Management Clients, Corporate & Institutional Clients and the non-strategic business are reported in each applicable business and eliminated at the divisional level.
Advisory assets include assets placed with us where the client is provided access to investment advice but retains discretion over investment decisions.
Assets under management and net new assets include assets managed by consolidated entities, joint ventures and strategic participations. Assets from joint ventures and participations are counted in proportion to our share in the respective entity.
Assets under management from continuing operations of CHF 1,281.1 billion increased CHF 27.7 billion or 2.2% compared to the end of 4Q13, as positive market movements and net new assets were partially offset by structural effects, mostly arising from disposals of businesses in the non-strategic unit, and adverse foreign exchange-related movements. Compared to the end of 1Q13, assets under management from continuing operations were CHF 22.5 billion higher, reflecting positive market movements and net new assets of CHF 36.4 billion, partially offset primarily by adverse foreign exchange-related movements.

Client assets
Client assets is a broader measure than assets under management as it includes transactional and custody accounts (assets held solely for transaction-related or safekeeping/custody purposes) and assets of corporate clients and public institutions used primarily for cash management or transaction-related purposes.

Net new assets
Net new assets include individual cash payments, security deliveries and cash flows resulting from loan increases or repayments. Interest and dividend income credited to clients, commissions, interest and fees charged for banking services are not included as they do not reflect success in acquiring assets under management.

Furthermore, changes due to foreign exchange-related and market movements as well as asset inflows and outflows due to the acquisition or divestiture of businesses are not part of net new assets.
We recorded net new assets from continuing operations of CHF 14.7 billion in 1Q14.
In our strategic portfolio, Wealth Management Clients contributed net new assets of CHF 10.6 billion in 1Q14 with continued strong inflows from emerging markets, particularly in Asia Pacific, and Switzerland, partially offset by Western European cross-border outflows. Corporate & Institutional Clients in Switzerland reported net new assets of CHF 0.4 billion in 1Q14. Asset Management reported net new assets of CHF 6.9 billion in 1Q14, driven by inflows in credit products and traditional products, with substantial contribution from index strategies, and partially offset by net asset outflows in fixed income products. In our non-strategic portfolio, net asset outflows of CHF 2.3 billion reflected our exit of certain businesses, of which CHF 1.0 billion were classified as discontinued operations.

Liquidity and funding management

During 1Q14, we maintained a strong liquidity and funding position. The majority of our unsecured funding was generated from core customer deposits and long-term debt.

Overview
Securities for funding and capital purposes are issued primarily by the Bank, our principal operating subsidiary and a US registrant. The Bank lends funds to its operating subsidiaries and affiliates on both a senior and subordinated basis, as needed; the latter typically to meet capital requirements, or as desired by management to support business initiatives.
Our internal liquidity risk management framework is subject to review and monitoring by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority FINMA (FINMA), other regulators and rating agencies.
> Refer to “Treasury management” in III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2013 for further information on liquidity and funding management.

Liquidity risk management framework
Our liquidity and funding policy is designed to ensure that funding is available to meet all obligations in times of stress, whether caused by market events or issues specific to Credit Suisse. We achieve this through a conservative asset/liability management strategy aimed at maintaining long-term funding, including stable deposits, well in excess of illiquid assets. To address short-term liquidity stress, we maintain a liquidity pool, described below, that covers unexpected outflows in the event of severe market and idiosyncratic stress. Our liquidity risk parameters reflect various liquidity stress assumptions that we believe are conservative. We manage our liquidity profile at a sufficient level such that, in the event we are unable to access unsecured funding, we will have sufficient liquidity to sustain operations for an extended period of time in excess of our minimum target.
In December 2010, the BCBS issued the Basel III international framework for liquidity risk measurement, standards and monitoring. The Basel III framework includes a liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) and a net stable funding ratio (NSFR).
The LCR, which will be phased in beginning January 1, 2015 through January 1, 2019, addresses liquidity risk over a 30-day period. The LCR aims to ensure that banks have a stock of unencumbered high-quality liquid assets available to meet short-term liquidity needs under a severe stress scenario. The LCR is comprised of two components, the value of the stock of high-quality liquid assets in stressed conditions and the total net cash outflows calculated according to specified scenario parameters. Under the BCBS requirements, the ratio of liquid assets over net cash outflows is subject to an initial minimum requirement of 60%, which will increase by 10% for four years, reaching 100% by January 1, 2019.
The NSFR, which is expected to be introduced on January 1, 2018 following an observation period which began in 2012, establishes criteria for a minimum amount of stable funding based on the liquidity of a bank’s assets and activities over a one-year horizon. The NSFR is a complementary measure to the LCR and is structured to ensure that illiquid assets are funded with an appropriate amount of stable long-term funds. The NSFR is defined as the ratio of available stable funding over the amount of required stable funding and should always be at least 100%.
Although the NSFR is not expected to be introduced until 2018 and is still subject to adjustment by the BCBS and FINMA, we began using the NSFR in 2012 as the primary tool to monitor our structural liquidity position, plan funding and as the basis for our funds transfer pricing policy. We estimate that our NSFR under the current FINMA framework was in excess of 100% as of the end of 1Q14. Our estimate is based on the definitions and methodologies outlined in the aforementioned BCBS Basel III international framework for liquidity risk measurement, standards and monitoring issued in December 2010, the previously noted Liquidity Ordinance implementing the Basel III liquidity requirements into Swiss law, and other guidance and requirements of FINMA. Where requirements are unclear or left to be determined by the BCBS and FINMA, we have made our own interpretation and assumptions which may not be consistent with those of other financial institutions. The NSFR is based on regulatory metrics, the disclosure of which is not yet required, and, as such, it represents a non-GAAP financial measure.
In January 2014, the BCBS issued final LCR rules and disclosure requirements that are to be implemented as part of banks’ regular disclosures after January 1, 2015. The BCBS also proposed revisions to the NSFR, which are expected to become the minimum standard by the previously announced date of January 1, 2018.
In November 2012, the Swiss Federal Council adopted a liquidity ordinance (Liquidity Ordinance) that implements Basel III liquidity requirements into Swiss law subject, in part, to further rule-making. The Liquidity Ordinance entered into force on January 1, 2013. It requires appropriate management and monitoring of liquidity risks, and applies to all banks, but is tiered according to the type, complexity and degree of risk of a bank’s activities. It also contains supplementary quantitative and qualitative requirements for systemically relevant banks, including us, which are generally consistent with existing FINMA liquidity requirements. In January 2014, the Swiss Federal Council and FINMA proposed revisions to the Liquidity Ordinance to reflect the final Basel III LCR rules. Under the proposal, systemically relevant banks like us will be subject to an initial minimum LCR requirement of 100% beginning in 2015.
Our revised liquidity principles and our liquidity risk management framework as agreed with FINMA are in line with the Basel III liquidity framework.

Funding sources and uses
We fund our balance sheet primarily through core customer deposits, long-term debt and shareholders’ equity. We monitor the funding sources, including their concentrations, according to their currency, tenor, geography and maturity, and whether they are secured or unsecured. A substantial portion of our balance sheet is match funded and requires no unsecured funding. Match funded balance sheet items consist of assets and liabilities with close to equal liquidity durations and values so that the liquidity and funding generated or required by the positions are substantially equivalent.
Cash and due from banks and reverse repurchase agreements are highly liquid. A significant part of our assets, principally unencumbered trading assets that support the securities business, is comprised of securities inventories and collateralized receivables that fluctuate and are generally liquid. These liquid assets are available to settle short-term liabilities.
These assets include our liquidity pool, which as of the end of 1Q14 based on our internal model was CHF 147 billion, net of a stress test level haircut. The liquidity pool consisted of CHF 52 billion of cash held at major central banks, primarily the SNB, Fed, and the ECB, CHF 59 billion of securities issued by governments and government agencies, primarily of the US, France and Britain and CHF 36 billion of other highly liquid assets including equity securities that form part of major indices. As of March 31, 2014, our internal model included the application of a stress test level average haircut equal to approximately 55% of the market value of non-cash positions in the liquidity pool. The haircut reflects our assessment of overall market risk at the time of measurement, potential monetization capacity taking into account increased haircuts, market volatility and the quality of the relevant securities.

43



Loans, which comprise the largest component of our illiquid assets, are funded by our core customer deposits, with an excess coverage of 22% as of the end of 1Q14 and 4Q13, reflecting a slight increase in loans and a slight increase in deposits. We fund other illiquid assets, including real estate, private equity and other long-term investments as well as a haircut for the illiquid portion of securities, with long-term debt and equity, in which we try to maintain a substantial funding buffer.
Our core customer deposits totaled CHF 301 billion as of the end of 1Q14 compared to CHF 297 billion as of the end of 4Q13, reflecting a stable customer deposit base in Private Banking & Wealth Management. Core customer deposits are from clients with whom we have a broad and longstanding relationship. Core customer deposits exclude deposits from banks and certificates of deposit. We place a priority on maintaining and growing customer deposits, as they have proved to be a stable and resilient source of funding even in difficult market conditions. Our core customer deposit funding is supplemented by the issuance of long-term debt.
> Refer to the chart “Balance sheet funding structure” and “Balance sheet and off-balance sheet” for further information.

Debt issuances and redemptions
Our long-term debt includes senior and subordinated debt issued in US-registered offerings and medium-term note programs, euro market medium-term note programs, stand-alone offerings, structured note programs, covered bond programs, Australian dollar domestic medium-term note programs and a Samurai shelf registration statement in Japan. As a global bank, we have access to multiple markets worldwide and our major funding centers are New York, London, Zurich and Tokyo.
We use a wide range of products and currencies to ensure that our funding is efficient and well diversified across markets and investor types. Substantially all of our unsecured senior debt is issued without financial covenants, such as adverse changes in our credit ratings, cash flows, results of operations or financial ratios, which could trigger an increase in our cost of financing or accelerate the maturity of the debt. Our covered bond funding is in the form of mortgage-backed loans funded by domestic covered bonds issued through Pfandbriefbank Schweizerischer Hypothekarinstitute, one of two institutions established by a 1930 act of the Swiss Parliament to centralize the issuance of covered bonds, or from our own international covered bond program.

As of the end of 1Q14, we had outstanding long-term debt of CHF 132 billion, which included senior and subordinated instruments. We had CHF 38.4 billion and CHF 16.9 billion of structured notes and covered bonds outstanding, respectively, as of the end of 1Q14 compared to CHF 34.8 billion and CHF 14.3 billion, respectively, as of 4Q13.
> Refer to “Capital issuances and redemptions” in Capital management for information on issuances of capital notes, all of which constitute subordinated debt instruments.

As of the end of 1Q14, the weighted average maturity of long-term debt was 6.5 years (including certificates of deposit with a maturity of one year or longer, but excluding structured notes, and assuming callable securities are redeemed at final maturity, or in 2030 for instruments without a stated final maturity).
Short-term borrowings increased 20% to CHF 24.2 billion as of the end of 1Q14 compared to CHF 20.2 billion in 4Q13.

Credit ratings
The maximum impact of a simultaneous one, two or three-notch downgrade by all three major rating agencies in the Bank’s long-term debt ratings would result in additional collateral requirements or assumed termination payments under certain derivative instruments of CHF 1.1 billion, CHF 3.0 billion and CHF 4.3 billion, respectively, as of the end of 1Q14, and would not be material to our liquidity and funding planning. If the downgrade does not involve all three rating agencies, the impact may be smaller.
As of the end of 1Q14, we were compliant with the requirements related to maintaining a specific credit rating under these derivative instruments.

As of the end of 1Q14, our CET1 ratio was 14.3% under Basel III and 10.0% on a look-through basis. Our RWA under Basel III were CHF 286.0 billion and our Swiss leverage ratio was 4.8%.


Regulatory capital framework
Overview
Effective January 1, 2013, the Basel III framework was implemented in Switzerland along with the Swiss “Too Big to Fail” legislation and regulations thereunder (Swiss Requirements). Our related disclosures are in accordance with our current interpretation of such requirements, including relevant assumptions. Changes in the interpretation of these requirements in Switzerland or in any of our assumptions or estimates could result in different numbers from those shown in this report. Also, our capital metrics fluctuate during any reporting period in the ordinary course of business.
References to phase-in and look-through included herein refer to Basel III capital requirements. Phase-in reflects that, for the years 2014 – 2018, there will be a five-year (20% per annum) phase-in of goodwill, other intangible assets and other capital deductions (e.g., certain deferred tax assets and participations in financial institutions) and the phase-out of an adjustment for the accounting treatment of pension plans and, for the years 2013 – 2022, there will be a phase-out of certain capital instruments. Look-through assumes the full phase-in of goodwill and other intangible assets and other regulatory adjustments and the phase-out of certain capital instruments.

Capital structure under Basel III
The BCBS issued the Basel III framework, with higher minimum capital requirements and conservation and countercyclical buffers, revised risk-based capital measures, a leverage ratio and liquidity standards. The framework was designed to strengthen the resilience of the banking sector and requires banks to hold more capital, mainly in the form of common equity. The new capital standards are being phased in from 2013 through 2018 and are fully effective January 1, 2019 for those countries that have adopted Basel III.
> Refer to the table “Basel III phase-in requirements for Credit Suisse” for capital requirements and applicable effective dates during the phase-in period.

Under Basel III, the minimum common equity tier 1 (CET1) requirement is 4.5% of risk-weighted assets (RWA). In addition, a 2.5% CET1 capital conservation buffer is required to absorb losses in periods of financial and economic stress.

45



A progressive buffer between 1% and 2.5% (with a possible additional 1% surcharge) of CET1, depending on a bank’s systemic importance, is an additional capital requirement for global systemically important banks (G-SIB). The Financial Stability Board (FSB) has identified us as a G-SIB and requires us to maintain a 1.5% progressive buffer.
In addition to the CET1 requirements, there is also a requirement for 1.5% additional tier 1 capital and 2% tier 2 capital. These requirements may also be met with CET1 capital. To qualify as additional tier 1 under Basel III, capital instruments must provide for principal loss absorption through a conversion into common equity or a write-down of principal feature. The trigger for such conversion or write-down must include a CET1 ratio of at least 5.125%.

Basel III further provides for a countercyclical buffer that could require banks to hold up to 2.5% of CET1 or other capital that would be available to fully absorb losses. This requirement is expected to be imposed by national regulators where credit growth is deemed to be excessive and leading to the build-up of system-wide risk. This countercyclical buffer will be phased in from January 1, 2016 through January 1, 2019.
Capital instruments that do not meet the strict criteria for inclusion in CET1 are excluded. Capital instruments that would no longer qualify as tier 1 or tier 2 capital will be phased out.

Swiss Requirements
The legislation implementing the Basel III framework in Switzerland in respect of capital requirements for systemically relevant banks goes beyond Basel III’s minimum standards, including requiring us, as a systemically relevant bank, to have the following minimum, buffer and progressive components.
> Refer to “Swiss Requirements” in III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet – Capital management in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2013 for further information.
> Refer to the chart “Swiss capital and leverage ratio phase-in requirements for Credit Suisse” for Swiss capital requirements and applicable effective dates during the phase-in period.

The minimum requirement of CET1 capital is 4.5% of RWA.
The buffer requirement is 8.5% and can be met with additional CET1 capital of 5.5% of RWA and a maximum of 3% of high-trigger capital instruments. High-trigger capital instruments must convert into common equity or be written off if the CET1 ratio falls below 7%.
The progressive component requirement is dependent on our size (leverage ratio exposure) and the market share of our domestic systemically relevant business. For 2014, FINMA set our progressive component requirement at 3.66%. The progressive component requirement may be met with CET1 capital or low-trigger capital instruments. In order to qualify, low-trigger capital instruments must convert into common equity or be written off if the CET1 ratio falls below a specified percentage, the lowest of which may be 5%. In addition, until the end of 2017, the progressive component requirement may also be met with high-trigger capital instruments. Both high and low-trigger capital instruments must comply with the Basel III minimum requirements for tier 2 capital (including subordination, point-of-non-viability loss absorption and minimum maturity).
Similar to Basel III, the Swiss Requirements include a supplemental countercyclical buffer of up to 2.5% of RWA that can be activated during periods of excess credit growth. Effective January 1, 2013, FINMA introduced increased capital charges for mortgages that finance certain residential property in Switzerland. In February 2013, the countercyclical capital buffer was activated and it requires banks to hold CET1 capital in the amount of 1% of their RWA pertaining to such mortgages (mortgage multiplier). These increased capital charges, which are applied for both Bank for International Settlements (BIS) and FINMA purposes, will be

46



phased in by January 1, 2019. As of the end of 1Q14, our countercyclical buffer was CHF 151 million, which is equivalent to an additional requirement of 0.05% of CET1 capital. In January 2014, upon the request of SNB, the Swiss Federal Council further increased the countercyclical buffer from 1% to 2%, effective June 30, 2014.
In December 2013, FINMA issued a decree specifying capital adequacy requirements for the Bank, on a stand-alone basis (Bank parent company), and the Bank and the Group, each on a consolidated basis, as systemically relevant institutions (FINMA Decree).
Beginning in 1Q14, we adjusted the presentation of our Swiss capital metrics and terminology and we now refer to Swiss Core Capital as Swiss CET1 capital and Swiss Total Capital as Swiss total eligible capital. Swiss Total Capital previously reflected the tier 1 participation securities, which were fully redeemed in 1Q14. Swiss CET1 capital consists of BIS CET1 capital and certain other Swiss adjustments. Swiss total eligible capital consists of Swiss CET1 capital, high-trigger capital instruments, low-trigger capital instruments and additional tier 1 instruments and tier 2 instruments subject to phase-out and phase-in deductions from CET1.
We must also comply with a leverage ratio applicable to Swiss systemically relevant banks (Swiss leverage ratio). This leverage ratio must be at least 24% of each of the respective minimum, buffer and progressive component requirements. Since the ratio is defined by reference to capital requirements subject to phase-in arrangements, the ratio will also be phased in.

47



Risk measurement models
Within the Basel framework for FINMA regulatory capital purposes, we implemented risk measurement models, including an incremental risk charge (IRC), stressed Value-at-Risk (VaR), risks not in VaR, comprehensive risk measure framework and advanced credit valuation adjustment (CVA).
FINMA, in line with BIS requirements, uses a multiplier to impose an increase in market risk capital for every regulatory VaR backtesting exception over four in the prior rolling 12-month period. In 1Q14, our market risk capital multiplier remained at FINMA and BIS minimum levels and we did not experience an increase in market risk capital.
> Refer to “Risk measurement models” in III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet – Capital management in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2013 for further information.
> Refer to “Market risk” in Risk management for further information on Credit Suisse’s risk measurement models and backtesting exceptions.


Regulatory developments and proposals
In January 2014, the BCBS published the framework and disclosure requirements for the Basel III leverage ratio. The required Basel III leverage ratio, which seeks to measure tier 1 capital against exposure, is expected to be at least 3%. Although the effective date of the Basel III leverage ratio is not until 2018, banks will be required to disclose the ratio on a consolidated basis beginning in 2015, subject to implementation by national regulators.
In accordance with BCBS’s G-SIB loss absorbency requirements and FINMA’s capital adequacy disclosure requirements, banks with a balance sheet exceeding EUR 200 billion must publish annually 12 financial indicators, such as size and complexity. Depending on these financial indicators, the FSB will set the progressive buffer for G-SIBs. The reporting requirement became effective December 31, 2013 and disclosures must be made by April 30, 2014.
In March 2014, the BCBS published a final standard on the treatment of counterparty credit risk associated with derivative transactions. The new requirement will replace the current exposure method and the existing standardized method and will become effective on January 1, 2017.
From January 1, 2014, the Capital Requirement Directive (CRD) IV package of legislation (comprising a directive and a regulation) will replace the current CRD directive with new measures implementing Basel III and other requirements. As part of the transition to CRD IV, the UK’s Prudential Regulation Authority has reviewed the permissions of UK financial institutions, including those of our subsidiaries, to use their current internal modeling for capital calculation purposes as well as new models required for CRD IV compliance. The majority of the models for our subsidiaries were approved and certain models will require updates in line with latest BCBS guidance and regulatory feedback on modeling techniques.
In July 2013, the Fed, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency released final capital rules that overhaul the existing US bank regulatory capital rules and implement the Basel III framework and certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act). The final rules are largely consistent with the Basel III framework published by the BCBS, although they diverge in several important respects due to requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act and do not address other, more recent aspects of the Basel III framework. In February 2014, the Fed adopted a rule under the Dodd-Frank Act that creates a new framework for regulation of the US operations of foreign banking organizations. The rule requires Credit Suisse to create a single US intermediate holding company (IHC) to hold all of its US subsidiaries; this will not apply to Credit Suisse AG’s New York branch (New York Branch). The IHC will be subject to local risk-based capital and leverage requirements. In addition, both the IHC itself and the combined US operations of Credit Suisse (including the IHC and the New York Branch) will be subject to other new prudential requirements. The new framework’s prudential requirements generally become effective in July 2016.

FINMA Decree
The SNB has previously designated the Group as a financial group of systemic importance under applicable Swiss law. Following that designation, in December 2013 the FINMA Decree was issued. In addition to the capital adequacy requirements described above, it also specified liquidity, risk diversification and disclosure requirements for the Bank parent company.
The FINMA Decree became effective on February 2, 2014 and requires the Group to fully comply with the special requirements for systemically important banks set out in the Capital Adequacy Ordinance. To facilitate the application of these requirements within the Group and to allow Credit Suisse to continue its central treasury policy, the FINMA Decree also references forms of relief granted by FINMA within its stated authority that is designed to prevent the application of requirements at the Bank parent company level from effectively increasing the regulatory capital requirements applicable to the Group, notwithstanding all reasonable efforts by the Group to avoid such a situation. FINMA also requires certain capital disclosures at the Bank parent company level as of the end of March 31, 2014, which can be found on our website. In addition, the FINMA Decree requires the disclosure of the following forms of relief:

New approach to standalone capital requirements: Withdrawal of the previously granted form of relief for funding that the Bank parent company provides to Group subsidiaries. The new approach results in an increase in RWA at the Bank parent company level.
Reduction of regulatory capital requirement: Risk-weighted capital requirement reduced to 14% from a current 16.66%, of which at least 10% must be held in the form of CET1 capital. This measure is a form of relief at the Bank parent company level in comparison with the minimum requirements set out by FINMA at the Group level.
Equal treatment of direct and indirect investments: Direct and indirect investments in Group subsidiaries that are

48



active in the financial sector and are held by the Bank parent company are treated equally. Directly and indirectly held investments in Group subsidiaries up to a bank-specific threshold set by FINMA are risk-weighted at 200%. Amounts above the threshold are deducted 50% from CET1 capital and 50% from total eligible capital. The deduction approach is similar to the treatment of capital instruments under Basel III and continues the previously applicable treatment under Swiss regulations. This measure may have the effect of changing RWA and/or total eligible capital. Depending on the calibration of the threshold, investments in Group subsidiaries require total eligible capital in a range between 28% (if all investments are risk-weighted) and 100% (if all investments are deducted from total eligible capital).

Overall, withdrawal of previous forms of relief, the introduction of stricter requirements and the provision of new forms of relief avoids a situation in which requirements at the Bank parent company would effectively dictate requirements at the Group level and, as such, effectively lead to higher capital ratios at the Bank parent company level.


Capital issuances and redemptions
In March 2014, pursuant to a tender offer, we repurchased USD 1.4 billion of outstanding 7.875% perpetual series B subordinated tier 1 participation securities. We subsequently exercised a regulatory call of the USD 99 million of such securities that had not been tendered, with the result that no such securities remain outstanding. Prior to the announcement of the tender offer and as advised by FINMA, these tier 1 participation securities formed part of Swiss CET1 capital under the Swiss Requirements, whereas under Basel III, these instruments were included in additional tier 1 instruments subject to phase-out. These transactions were approved by FINMA.
In January 2014, Contingent Capital Awards (CCA) were granted to certain employees as part of their 2013 deferred variable compensation. In March 2014, employees holding 2011 Partner Asset Facility (PAF2) awards, which were restructured, reallocated a portion of their PAF2 holdings to CCA. Both of these events added CHF 0.5 billion to regulatory capital in 1Q14. CCA qualify as additional tier 1 and high-trigger capital instruments for regulatory capital purposes.
> Refer to “Note 28 – Employee deferred compensation” in V – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group in the Annual Report 2013 for further information on CCA.

Higher Trigger Capital Amount
The capital ratio write-down triggers for certain of our outstanding capital instruments take into account the fact that other outstanding capital instruments that contain relatively higher capital ratios as part of their trigger feature are expected to convert or be written down prior to the write down of such capital instruments. The amount of additional capital that is expected to be contributed by such conversion or write down is referred to as the Higher Trigger Capital Amount.
With respect to the USD 2.5 billion 6.5% tier 2 capital notes due in August 2023 and the EUR 1.25 billion 5.75% tier 2 capital notes due in September 2025, the Higher Trigger Capital Amount was CHF 10.5 billion and the Higher Trigger Capital Ratio (i.e., the ratio of the Higher Trigger Capital Amount to the aggregate of all RWA of the Group) was 3.8%, both as of the end of 1Q14. With respect to the USD 2.25 billion 7.5% tier 1 capital notes and the CHF 290 million 6.0% tier 1 capital notes, the Higher Trigger Capital Amount was CHF 8.2 billion and the Higher Trigger Capital Ratio was 2.9%, both as of the end of 1Q14. CCA are expected to increase both of these Higher Trigger Capital Amounts over time.
> Refer to “Capital issuances and redemptions” in III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet – Capital management in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2013 for further information on Higher Trigger Capital Amount.
> Refer to the table “BIS statistics – Basel III – Group” for further information on the BIS statistics used to calculate such measures.


BIS capital metrics
Regulatory capital and ratios
Our CET1 ratio was 14.3% as of the end of 1Q14, compared to 15.7% as of the end of 4Q13, due to an increase in RWA and a decrease in CET1 capital. Our tier 1 ratio was 15.6% as of the end of 1Q14, compared to 16.8% as of the end of 4Q13. Our total capital ratio decreased to 19.1% as of the end of 1Q14 compared to 20.6% as of the end of 4Q13.
CET1 capital was CHF 40.9 billion as of the end of 1Q14 compared to CHF 43.0 billion as of the end of 4Q13, mainly reflecting the 20% phase-in of regulatory deductions from CET1 including goodwill, other intangible assets, certain deferred tax assets and a 20% decrease in the adjustment for the accounting treatment of pension plans, pursuant to phase-in requirements. CET1 capital was also impacted by a quarterly dividend accrual and a negative foreign exchange translation impact, partially offset by net income and the impact of share-based compensation.
Additional tier 1 capital increased to CHF 3.7 billion, mainly due to the issuance of CHF 0.5 billion CCA and the 20% decrease in phase-in deductions, including goodwill, other intangible assets and other capital deductions, partially offset by the redemption of the tier 1 participation securities in March 2014. Tier 2 capital decreased slightly to CHF 10.0 billion as of the end of 1Q14.
Total eligible capital was CHF 54.6 billion as of the end of 1Q14 compared to CHF 56.3 billion as of the end of 4Q13, reflecting the decrease in CET1 capital, partially offset by the increase in additional tier 1 capital.
We reported a look-through CET1 ratio of 10.0% as of the end of 1Q14, compared to an updated long-term target of 11.0%. As of the end of 1Q14, the look-through total capital ratio was 15.1%, unchanged from the end of 4Q13.

> Refer to https://www.credit-suisse.com/investors/en/regulatory_disclosures/index.jsp for additional information.

Risk-weighted assets
Our balance sheet positions and off-balance sheet exposures translate into RWA that are categorized as market, credit, operational and non-counterparty risk RWA. Market risk RWA reflect the capital requirements of potential changes in the fair values of financial instruments in response to market movements inherent in both balance sheet and off-balance sheet items. Credit risk RWA reflect the capital requirements for the possibility of a loss being incurred as the result of a borrower or counterparty failing to meet its financial obligations or as a result of a deterioration in the credit quality of the borrower or counterparty. Under Basel III, certain regulatory capital adjustments are dependent on the level of CET1 capital (thresholds). The amount above the threshold is deducted from CET1 capital and the amount below the threshold is risk weighted. RWA subject to such threshold adjustments are included in credit risk RWA. Operational risk RWA reflect the capital requirements for the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external events. Non-counterparty-risk RWA primarily reflect the capital requirements for our premises and equipment. It is not the nominal size, but the nature (including risk mitigation such as collateral or hedges) of the balance sheet positions or off-balance sheet exposures that determines the RWA.

RWA increased 4%, from CHF 273.8 billion as of the end of 4Q13 to CHF 286.0 billion as of the end of 1Q14, reflecting an increase in credit risk and operational risk, partially offset by a decrease in market risk and a decrease resulting from foreign exchange translation.
The increase in credit risk (excluding CVA) was primarily driven by methodology changes that affected both Investment Banking and Private Banking & Wealth Management. Within Investment Banking, externally driven methodology changes resulted from an increase in the risk weighting of private equity positions, while internally driven changes primarily resulted from the recalibration of derivative add-ons and the loss of netting for central clearing counterparty default funds. Externally driven methodology changes within Private Banking & Wealth Management resulted from an increase to the risk weighting of private equity positions, particularly within Asset Management, and an increase resulting from the mortgage multiplier relating to the financing of certain residential property in Switzerland. Overall, the movements in risk levels resulted in a marginal decrease in RWA. Investment Banking movements in risk levels were due to increases in lending and secured financing offset by decreases in securitization portfolio exposures. Private Banking & Wealth Management movements in risk levels were due to decreases in Asset Management fund positions offset by increases in Wealth Management Clients and Corporate & Institutional Clients lending.
Credit risk related to CVA risk increased during the period driven by internally driven methodology changes and increases related to movements in risk levels within Investment Banking. Internally driven methodology changes were due to changes in the hedging of CVA risk and the modeling of derivative exposures. The increases related to movements in risk levels were due to increases in exposures and hedged positions.
The decrease in market risk was primarily driven by decreases related to movements in risk levels partially offset by increases due to externally driven methodology changes mainly resulting from the regulatory requirement to hold capital against short trading book securitization positions starting on January 1, 2014. The movements in risk levels were driven by a decrease in trading book securitization exposures following increased protection on low-rated tranched portfolios, including protection provided by the Capital Opportunity Facility (COF), a component of our employee deferred compensation plan. Additionally, stressed VaR was lower driven by decreases in exposures across foreign exchange products, equities and emerging markets. The decrease resulting from changes in model and parameters was primarily due to an update in the stressed spread parameters.
The increase in operational risk resulted from the implementation of a revised advanced management approach (AMA) model, a FINMA imposed cap applied to benefits derived from insurance protection and an update to the litigation add-on component following an increase in the aggregate range of reasonably possible litigation losses not covered by existing provisions.

Swiss leverage ratio
The Swiss leverage ratio is calculated as Swiss total eligible capital, divided by a three-month average exposure, which consists of balance sheet assets, off-balance sheet exposures, consisting of guarantees and commitments, and regulatory adjustments, including cash collateral netting reversals and derivative add-ons. As of the end of 1Q14, our Swiss leverage ratio was 4.8% and the total average exposure was CHF 1,137.6 billion. As of the end of 1Q14, our total exposure was CHF 1,140 billion, compared to our updated long-term target of approximately CHF 1,000 billion.
The Group’s look-through Swiss leverage ratio was 3.7% as of the end of 1Q14, compared to the 4.0% requirement for 2019 taking into account FINMA’s reduction of our progressive component requirement beginning in 2014.

Total shareholders’ equity
Our total shareholders’ equity increased to CHF 43.2 billion as of the end of 1Q14 compared to CHF 42.2 billion as of the end of 4Q13. Total shareholders’ equity was impacted by net income, the effect of share-based compensation and the purchase of subsidiary shares from non-controlling interests, relating to the redemption of tier 1 participation securities. These increases were partially offset by the impact of foreign exchange-related movements on cumulative translation adjustments and treasury shares purchases and sales.

Risk management

In 1Q14, overall position risk decreased 5%, utilized economic capital decreased 2%, average risk management VaR in US dollars increased 5% and gross impaired loans were stable at CHF 1.5 billion.


Economic capital and position risk
Economic capital is used as a consistent and comprehensive tool for risk management, capital management and performance measurement. It is our core Group-wide risk management tool for measuring and reporting all quantifiable risks. Economic capital measures risks in terms of economic realities rather than regulatory or accounting rules and is the estimated capital needed to remain solvent and in business, even under extreme market, business and operational conditions, given our target financial strength (our long-term credit rating).
We regularly review our economic capital methodology in order to ensure that the model remains relevant as markets and business strategies evolve. In the event of methodology changes, prior-period balances are restated in order to show meaningful trends.
In 1Q14, we made an enhancement to the position risk dataset for risk management purposes. For real estate & structured assets, the dataset now includes funding risk for off-balance sheet residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) conduit positions. For fixed income trading, we have enhanced the scope for default risk for the traded credit spread portfolio to include credit default swaps (CDS). The net impact of these dataset changes on position risk for the Group as of the end of 4Q13 was a decrease of CHF 343 million, or 2.8%, reflecting net short positions in the portfolio.
For utilized economic capital used for capital management purposes, the decrease from the above dataset changes on position risk was partially offset by an increase resulting from the implementation of a revised internal AMA model to calculate the regulatory capital requirement for operational risk. The net impact of the dataset and methodology changes on utilized economic capital for the Group as of the end of 4Q13 was a decrease of CHF 308 million, or 1.0%.
> Refer to “Economic capital and position risk” in III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet – Risk management in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2013 for further information on economic capital and position risk.
> Refer to “Operational risk” for further information on the revised AMA model to calculate the regulatory capital requirement for operational risk.

Key position risk trends
Position risk for risk management purposes as of the end of 1Q14 decreased 5% compared to the end of 4Q13. Excluding the US dollar translation impact, position risk decreased 4%, mainly due to lower credit spread, foreign exchange and interest rate exposures in fixed income trading and decreased exposures in Eastern Europe in emerging markets country event risk. A decrease in equity trading & investments was mainly due to lower cash equities and liquid hedge fund exposures. These decreases were partially offset by increases from new loan commitments and counterparty risk in Investment Banking in international lending & counterparty exposures.

Compared to the end of 1Q13, position risk for risk management purposes decreased 2%. Excluding the US dollar translation impact, position risk increased 4%, mainly due to new loan commitments and increased counterparty risk in Investment Banking in international lending & counterparty exposures. These increases were partially offset by reduced credit spread and interest rate exposures in fixed income trading, decreased exposures in Latin America in emerging markets country event risk and reduced private equity exposures in equity trading & investments.
As part of our overall risk management, we hold a portfolio of hedges. Hedges are impacted by market movements, similar to other trading securities, and may result in gains or losses which offset losses or gains on the portfolios they were designated to hedge. Due to the varying nature and structure of hedges, these gains or losses may not wholly offset the losses or gains on the portfolios.

Utilized economic capital trends
In 1Q14, our utilized economic capital decreased 2%, mainly due to lower position risk primarily in Investment Banking, partially offset by higher operational risk across the business divisions.
For Private Banking & Wealth Management, utilized economic capital was stable, as higher operational risk was offset by a reduction in other risks.
For Investment Banking, utilized economic capital decreased 2%, mainly due to decreased position risk in fixed income trading and emerging markets country event risk, largely offset by higher position risk in international lending & counterparty exposures, higher operational risk and higher risks relating to equity options captured as a model add-on in other risks.
For Corporate Center, utilized economic capital decreased 2%, mainly due to a decrease in foreign exchange risk between utilized economic capital and economic capital resources.


Market risk
Trading portfolios
We primarily assume market risk through the trading activities in Investment Banking. Private Banking & Wealth Management also engages in trading activities, but to a much lesser extent. We are active in most of the principal trading markets of the world, using the majority of common trading and hedging products, including derivatives such as swaps, futures, options and structured products (some of which are customized transactions using combinations of derivatives and executed to meet specific client or proprietary needs). As a result of our broad participation in products and markets, our trading strategies are correspondingly diverse and exposures are generally spread across a range of risks and locations. Risks associated with the embedded derivative elements of our structured products are actively monitored and managed on a portfolio basis as part of our overall trading portfolio and are reflected in our VaR measures.
Trading risks are measured using VaR along with a number of other risk measurement tools. VaR measures the potential loss in fair value of trading positions due to adverse market movements over a defined time horizon at a specified confidence level. VaR relies on historical data and is considered a useful tool for estimating potential loss in normal markets in which there are no abrupt changes in market conditions. We use risk management VaR for internal risk management purposes and regulatory VaR for regulatory capital purposes. For risk management VaR, we use a one-day holding period and a 98% confidence level. This means there is a 1-in-50 chance of incurring a daily mark-to-market trading loss at least as large as the reported VaR. For regulatory VaR, we present one-day, 99% VaR, which is a ten-day VaR adjusted to a one-day holding period. Our VaR methodology is the same for both VaR measures, except for the confidence levels and holding periods. Other tools, including stress testing, are more appropriate for modeling the impact from severe market conditions.
We regularly review our VaR model to ensure that it remains appropriate given evolving market conditions and the composition of our trading portfolio. In 1Q14, we updated our VaR models to better capture the volatility skew risk for equity derivatives. The cumulative impact of this update on the average 1Q14 risk management VaR was immaterial and prior periods have not been restated.
For regulatory capital purposes, we operate under the Basel III market risk framework which includes an IRC, stressed VaR and, since January 1, 2013, consideration of the impact of changes in a counterparty’s credit spreads (also known as CVA).
> Refer to “Market risk” in III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet – Risk management in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2013 for further information.

In order to show the aggregate market risk in our trading books, the chart entitled “Daily risk management VaR” shows the trading-related market risk on a consolidated basis.
We measure VaR in US dollars, as substantially all market risk relates to Investment Banking.
Average risk management VaR increased 5% to USD 46 million from 4Q13, driven by increases in foreign exchange and equity exposures and higher market volatility, partially offset by increased portfolio diversification benefit and reduced credit spread exposures. Compared to 1Q13, average risk management VaR increased 7% due to an increase in equity exposures and reduced portfolio diversification benefit, partially offset by reduced interest rate and credit spread exposures.
Period-end risk management VaR decreased 8% to USD 47 million from 4Q13, reflecting mainly lower equity exposures, partially offset by increased market volatility. Compared to 1Q13, period-end risk management VaR increased 21%, mainly reflecting increased foreign exchange exposures and reduced portfolio diversification benefit.

Various techniques are used to assess the accuracy of the regulatory VaR model used for trading portfolios, including backtesting. We conduct such backtesting using actual daily trading revenues. Actual daily trading revenues are compared with a regulatory 99% VaR calculated using a one-day holding period. A backtesting exception occurs when a trading loss exceeds the daily VaR estimate. We had no such backtesting exceptions in 1Q14 and in the 12-month-period through 1Q14. Since there were fewer than five backtesting exceptions in the rolling 12-month period through 1Q14, in line with BIS industry guidelines, the VaR model is deemed to be statistically valid.
For capital purposes, FINMA, in line with BIS requirements, uses a multiplier to impose an increase in market risk capital for every regulatory VaR exception over four in the prior rolling 12-month period calculated using a subset of actual daily trading revenues.
> Refer to “Risk measurement models” in Capital management – Regulatory capital framework for further information on the use of our regulatory VaR model in the calculation of trading book market risk capital requirements.

The histogram entitled “Actual daily trading revenues” compares the actual daily trading revenues for 1Q14 with those for 4Q13 and 1Q13. The dispersion of trading revenues indicates the day-to-day volatility in our trading activities. In 1Q14 and 4Q13, we had no trading loss days.

Banking portfolios
We assume non-trading interest rate risk through interest rate-sensitive positions originated by Private Banking & Wealth Management and risk-transferred to Treasury, money market and funding activities by Treasury and the deployment of our consolidated equity as well as other activities, including market making and trading activities involving banking book positions at the divisions, primarily Investment Banking. Savings accounts and many other retail banking products have no contractual maturity date or direct market-linked interest rate and are risk-transferred from Private Banking & Wealth Management to Treasury on a pooled basis using replicating portfolios (approximating the re-pricing behavior of the underlying product). Treasury and certain other areas of the Group running interest rate risk positions actively manage the positions within approved limits. This risk is monitored on a daily basis.
The impact of a one basis point parallel increase of the yield curves on the fair value of interest rate-sensitive non-trading book positions would have amounted to a valuation increase of CHF 6.9 million as of the end of 1Q14, compared to a valuation increase of CHF 8.5 million as of the end of 4Q13.


Credit risk
Credit risk is the possibility of a loss being incurred by us as the result of a borrower or counterparty failing to meet its financial obligations or as a result of deterioration in the credit quality of the borrower or counterparty. In the event of a customer default, a bank generally incurs a loss equal to the amount owed by the debtor, less any recoveries from foreclosure, liquidation of collateral, or the restructuring of the debtor company. A change in the credit quality of a counterparty has an impact on the valuation of assets eligible for fair value measurement, with valuation changes recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.

Sources of credit risk
The majority of our credit risk is concentrated in the Wealth Management Clients and Corporate & Institutional Clients businesses within the Private Banking & Wealth Management division and in the Investment Banking division. Credit risk exists within lending products, commitments and letters of credit, and results from counterparty exposure arising from derivatives, foreign exchange and other transactions.
Our regular review of the credit quality of clients and counterparties does not depend on the accounting treatment of the asset or commitment. We regularly review the appropriateness of allowances for credit losses. Changes in the credit quality of counterparties of loans held at fair value are reflected in valuation changes recorded directly in revenues, and therefore are not part of the impaired loans balance.
> Refer to “Credit risk” in III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet – Risk management in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2013 for further information on credit risk.
> Refer to “Note 27 – Financial instruments” in III – Condensed consolidated financial statements – unaudited for further information on counterparty credit risk.

Loan exposure
Compared to the end of 4Q13, gross loans increased CHF 3.6 billion to CHF 251.6 billion. In Private Banking & Wealth Management, gross loans were CHF 221.8 billion, up CHF 5.3 billion from 4Q13, reflecting increased lending driven by loans collateralized by securities and commercial and industrial loans. Gross loans in Investment Banking decreased CHF 1.7 billion to CHF 29.8 billion, primarily from decreases in loans to financial institutions, partially offset by higher commercial and industrial loans.
Gross impaired loans were stable at CHF 1.5 billion. In Private Banking & Wealth Management, gross impaired loans slightly increased CHF 37 million to CHF 1.3 billion, primarily due to higher potential problem and non-performing loans. In Investment Banking, gross impaired loans decreased CHF 28 million to CHF 224 million, driven by a loan repayment and a write-off of a non-performing loan.
We recorded a net provision for credit losses of CHF 34 million in 1Q14, compared to CHF 53 million in 4Q13, with a net provision of CHF 33 million in Private Banking & Wealth Management. Investment Banking did not require a provision for credit losses in 1Q14.
Compared to the end of 1Q13, gross loans increased 1%. An increase in Private Banking & Wealth Management of 4% was primarily due to an increase in loans collateralized by securities, higher residential mortgages and higher loans to the real estate sector, partially offset by the US dollar translation impact and a decrease in consumer finance. In Investment Banking, a decrease of 19% was related to lower loans to financial institutions and the US dollar translation impact, partially offset by higher commercial and industrial loans and increased loans to the real estate sector. Gross impaired loans decreased 16% driven by decreases in potential problem loans and total non-performing and non-interest-earning loans across the Group.

Selected European credit risk exposures
The scope of our disclosure of European credit risk exposure includes all countries of the EU which are rated below AA or its equivalent by at least one of the three major rating agencies and where our gross exposure exceeds our quantitative threshold of EUR 0.5 billion. We believe this external rating is a useful measure in determining the financial ability of countries to meet their financial obligations, including giving an indication of vulnerability to adverse business, financial and economic conditions.

Monitoring of selected European credit risk exposures
Our credit risk exposure to these European countries is managed as part of our risk management process. The Group makes use of country limits and performs scenario analyses on a regular basis, which include analyses on our indirect sovereign credit risk exposures from our exposures to selected European financial institutions. This assessment of indirect sovereign credit risk exposures includes analysis of publicly available disclosures of counterparties’ exposures to the European countries within the defined scope of our disclosure. We monitor the concentration of collateral underpinning our over-the-counter (OTC) derivative and reverse repurchase agreement exposures through monthly reporting. We also monitor the impact of sovereign rating downgrades on collateral eligibility. Strict limits on sovereign collateral from G-7 and non-G-7 countries are monitored monthly. Similar disclosure is part of our regular risk reporting to regulators.

Presentation of selected European credit risk exposures
The basis for the presentation of the country exposure is our internal risk domicile view. The risk domicile view is based on the domicile of the legal counterparty, i.e., it may include exposure to a legal entity domiciled in the reported country where its parent is located outside of the country.
The credit risk exposure in the table and the related description of developments is presented on a risk-based view before deduction of any related allowance for loan losses. We present our credit risk exposure and related risk mitigation for the following distinct categories:

Gross credit risk exposure includes the principal amount of loans drawn, letters of credit issued and undrawn portions of committed facilities, the positive replacement value (PRV) of derivative instruments after consideration of legally enforceable netting agreements, the notional value of investments in money market funds and the market values of securities financing transactions and the debt cash trading portfolio (short-term securities) netted at issuer level.
Risk mitigation includes CDS and other hedges, at their net notional amount, guarantees, insurance and collateral (primarily cash, securities and, to a lesser extent, real estate, mainly for Private Banking & Wealth Management exposure to corporates & other). Collateral values applied for the calculation of the net exposure are determined in accordance with our risk management policies and reflect applicable margining considerations.
Net credit risk exposure represents gross credit risk exposure net of risk mitigation.
Inventory represents the long inventory positions in trading and non-trading physical debt and synthetic positions, each at market value, all netted at issuer level. Physical debt is non-derivative debt positions (e.g., bonds), and synthetic positions are created through OTC contracts (e.g., CDS purchased and/or sold and total return swaps (TRS)).

CDS presented in the risk mitigation column are purchased as a direct hedge to our OTC exposure and the risk mitigation impact is considered to be the notional amount of the contract for risk purposes, with the mark-to-market fair value of CDS risk-managed against the protection provider. Net notional amounts of CDS reflect the notional amount of CDS protection purchased less the notional amount of CDS protection sold and are based on the origin of the CDS reference credit, rather than that of the CDS counterparty. CDS included in the inventory column represent contracts recorded in our trading books that are hedging the credit risk of the instruments included in the inventory column and are disclosed on the same basis as the value of the fixed income instrument they are hedging.
We do not have any tranched CDS positions on these European countries and only an insignificant amount of indexed credit derivatives is included in inventory.
The credit risk of CDS contracts themselves, i.e., the risk that the CDS counterparty will not perform in the event of a default, is managed separately from the credit risk of the reference credit. To mitigate such credit risk, all CDS contracts are collateralized and executed with counterparties with whom we have an enforceable International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) master agreement that provides for daily margining.

Development of selected European credit risk exposures
On a gross basis, before taking into account risk mitigation, our risk-based sovereign credit risk exposure to Croatia, Cyprus, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain as of the end of 1Q14 was EUR 5.1 billion, up from EUR 4.3 billion as of the end of 4Q13. Our net exposure to these sovereigns was EUR 1.4 billion, up from EUR 0.8 billion compared to the end of 4Q13. Our non-sovereign risk-based credit risk exposure in these countries as of the end of 1Q14 included net exposure to financial institutions of EUR 2.2 billion and to corporates and other counterparties of EUR 1.5 billion, compared to EUR 2.3 billion and EUR 1.9 billion, respectively, as of the end of 4Q13. A significant majority of the purchased credit protection is transacted with banks outside of the disclosed countries. For credit protection purchased from banks in the disclosed countries, such credit risk is reflected in the gross and net exposure to each respective country.

Sovereign debt rating developments
In 1Q14, the long-term sovereign debt ratings of the countries listed in the table were affected as follows: Standard & Poor’s lowered Croatia’s rating to BB from BB+ and Moody’s increased Ireland’s rating to Baa3 from Ba1 and Spain’s rating to Baa2 from Baa3. The rating changes did not have a significant impact on the Group’s financial position, result of operations, liquidity or capital resources.


Operational risk
Effective January 1, 2014, we have implemented a revised FINMA-approved internal AMA model to calculate the regulatory capital requirement for operational risk. The AMA capital calculation includes all litigation-related provisions and also an add-on component relating to the aggregate range of the reasonably possible litigation losses that are disclosed in our financial statements but are not covered by existing provisions.
> Refer to “Operational risk” in III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet – Risk management in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2013 for further information on the revised AMA model used for regulatory capital calculation.

The increase in the capital required for operational risk primarily reflected the implementation of the revised AMA model, including a limitation set by FINMA of the capital benefit for insurance-based risk transfer to 5% of the total AMA capital charge, and an increase in the aggregate range of reasonably possible litigation losses.

68



Balance sheet and off-balance sheet

Total assets were CHF 878.1 billion, total liabilities were CHF 833.8 billion and total equity was CHF 44.3 billion. Both total assets and total liabilities were stable for the quarter. The majority of our transactions are recorded on our balance sheet, however, we also enter into transactions that give rise to both on and off-balance sheet exposure.

Balance sheet
Total assets were CHF 878.1 billion as of the end of 1Q14, stable from the end of 4Q13, reflecting an increase from operating activities, offset by the foreign exchange translation impact. Excluding the foreign exchange translation impact, total assets increased CHF 9.7 billion.
Compared to the end of 4Q13, trading assets increased CHF 7.7 billion, or 3%, due to increases in equity and debt securities, partially offset by a decrease in derivative instruments. Central bank funds sold, securities purchased under resale agreements and securities borrowing transactions increased CHF 2.9 billion, or 2%, primarily due to higher customer and bank cash collateral, partially offset by lower reverse repurchase transactions. Net loans were stable at CHF 250.7 billion, primarily reflecting increased loans collateralized by securities in Private Banking & Wealth Management and increased commercial and industrial loans in Private Banking & Wealth Management and Investment Banking, offset by decreased loans to financial institutions in Investment Banking. Cash and due from banks decreased CHF 2.7 billion, or 4%, driven by decreases in central bank holdings. Brokerage receivables decreased CHF 2.7 billion, or 5%, mainly driven by decreases in margin lending and futures margin, partially offset by increases in open trades. All other assets decreased CHF 3.4 billion, or 3%, including decreases of CHF 2.5 billion in other investments, CHF 0.8 billion in assets of discontinued operations held-for-sale and CHF 0.7 billion in other assets, partially offset by an increase of CHF 0.3 billion in investment securities.
Total liabilities were CHF 833.8 billion as of the end of 1Q14, stable from the end of 4Q13, driven by an increase from operating activities, offset by the foreign exchange translation impact. Excluding the foreign exchange translation impact, total liabilities decreased CHF 11.9 billion.
Compared to the end of 4Q13, customer deposits increased CHF 15.4 billion, or 5%, primarily driven by increases in certificates of deposits and investment accounts. Long-term debt increased CHF 2.4 billion, or 2%, primarily reflecting issuances of senior debt, partially offset by maturing of senior debt and non-recourse liabilities from consolidated VIEs. Due to banks increased CHF 1.1 billion, or 5%, mainly driven by increases of deposits with central banks. Central bank funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions decreased CHF 5.4 billion, or 6%, reflecting a decrease in repurchase agreements. Trading liabilities decreased CHF 3.6 billion, or 5%, reflecting a decrease in derivative instruments, partially offset by an increase in short positions. Brokerage payables decreased CHF 2.9 billion, or 4%, primarily due to lower client activity. All other liabilities were stable at CHF 96.8 billion with an increase of CHF 4.0 billion in short-term borrowings and a decrease of CHF 2.7 billion in other liabilities.

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

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

to the Board of Directors of

Credit Suisse Group AG, Zurich



We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets of Credit Suisse Group AG and subsidiaries (the “Group”) as of March 31, 2014 and 2013 and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations, changes in equity, comprehensive income, and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. These condensed consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Group’s management.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of the Group as of December 31, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in equity, comprehensive income and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated April 3, 2014, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements – unaudited

1 Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Credit Suisse Group AG (the Group) are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the US (US GAAP) and are stated in Swiss francs (CHF). These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the US GAAP consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2013 included in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2013.
> Refer to “Note 1 – Summary of significant accounting policies” in V – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2013 for a description of the Group’s significant accounting policies.

Certain financial information, which is normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP, but not required for interim reporting purposes, has been condensed or omitted. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period’s consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period’s presentation. These condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods presented. The 4Q13 consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, the 1Q13 consolidated balance sheets and the 4Q13 consolidated statements of changes in equity have been added for convenience of the reader and are not a required presentation under US GAAP. The results of operations for interim periods are not indicative of results for the entire year.
In preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated balance sheets and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2 Recently issued accounting standards

The following provides the most relevant recently adopted accounting standards.
> Refer to “Note 2 – Recently issued accounting standards” in V – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2013 for a description of accounting standards adopted in 2013.

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-11, “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (ASU 2011-11), an update to Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 210 – Balance Sheet. The amendments in ASU 2011-11 require an entity to prepare additional disclosures about offsetting and related arrangements. In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-01, “Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (ASU 2013-01), an update to ASC Topic 210 – Balance Sheet. ASU 2013-01 clarifies the scope of ASU 2011-11. The adoption of ASU 2011-11 and ASU 2013-01 on January 1, 2013 did not have an impact on the Group’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
> Refer to “Note 20 – Offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities” for further information.

ASC Topic 220 – Comprehensive Income
In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” (ASU 2013-02), an update to ASC Topic 220 – Comprehensive Income. The amendments require an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) by component.

1
Reflects MACCS issued in July 2012 that were mandatorily convertible into shares on March 29, 2013, which shares were settled and delivered on April 8, 2013.
2
Reflects changes in the fair value of the PAF2 units which are reflected in the net results of the Group until the awards are finally settled. Fair value of the PAF2 units which are reflected in the net results of the Group are not adjusted for 4Q13, as the effect would be antidilutive. In 1Q14, the Group restructured the PAF2 awards as due to regulatory changes the capital relief provided by PAF2 awards was no longer available under Basel III. The PAF2 units were converted into other capital eligible compensation instruments and will no longer be settleable in Credit Suisse Group shares.
3
Reflects weighted-average shares outstanding on PAF2 units. Weighted-average shares on PAF2 units for 4Q13 were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation, as the effect would be antidilutive. In 1Q14, the Group restructured the PAF2 awards as due to regulatory changes the capital relief provided by PAF2 awards was no longer available under Basel III. The PAF2 units were converted into other capital eligible compensation instruments and will no longer be settleable in Credit Suisse Group shares.
4
Weighted-average potential common shares relating to instruments that were not dilutive for the respective periods (and therefore not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation above) but could potentially dilute earnings per share in the future were 9.1 million, 36.0 million and 13.7 million for 1Q14, 4Q13 and 1Q13, respectively.
5
Due to the net loss in 4Q13, 1.7 million weighted-average share options and warrants outstanding and 0.8 million weighted-average share awards outstanding were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation, as the effect would be antidilutive.

Management determined that the unrealized losses on debt securities are primarily attributable to general market interest rate, credit spread or exchange rate movements. No significant impairment charges were recorded as the Group does not intend to sell the investments, nor is it more likely than not that the Group will be required to sell the investments before the recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity.

16 Loans, allowance for loan losses and credit quality
Loans are divided in two portfolio segments, “consumer” and “corporate & institutional”. Consumer loans are disaggregated into the classes of mortgages, loans collateralized by securities and consumer finance. Corporate & institutional loans are disaggregated into the classes of real estate, commercial and industrial loans, financial institutions and governments and public institutions.
The determination of the loan classes is primarily driven by the customer segmentation in the two business divisions, Private Banking & Wealth Management and Investment Banking, both of which are engaged in credit activities.
The Group assigns both counterparty and transaction ratings to its credit exposures. The counterparty rating reflects the probability of default of the counterparty. The transaction rating reflects the expected loss, considering collateral, on a given transaction if the counterparty defaults. Credit risk is assessed and monitored on the single obligor and single obligation level as well as on the credit portfolio level as represented by the classes of loans. Credit limits are used to manage counterparty credit risk.
> Refer to “Note 18 – Loans, allowance for loan losses and credit quality” in V – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2013 for further information on loans, allowance for loan losses, credit quality and impaired loans.

Credit quality of loans held at amortized cost
Management monitors the credit quality of loans through its credit risk management processes, which are structured to assess, quantify, measure, monitor and manage risk on a consistent basis. This process requires careful consideration of proposed extensions of credit, the setting of specific limits, monitoring during the life of the exposure, active use of credit mitigation tools and a disciplined approach to recognizing credit impairment.
Management evaluates many factors when assessing the credit quality of loans. These factors include the volatility of default probabilities, rating changes, the magnitude of potential loss, internal risk ratings, and geographic, industry and other economic factors. For the purpose of credit quality disclosures, the Group uses internal risk ratings as credit quality indicators.
The Group employs a set of credit ratings for the purpose of internally rating counterparties. Credit ratings are intended to reflect the risk of default of each obligor or counterparty. Ratings are assigned based on internally developed rating models and processes, which are subject to governance and internally independent validation procedures.
> Refer to “Credit quality of loans held at amortized cost” in V – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group – Note 18 – Loans, allowance for loan losses and credit quality in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2013 for further information on internal ratings and the scope of the credit quality disclosures.

Includes the value of collateral up to the amount of the outstanding related loans. For mortgages, collateral values are generally values at the time of granting the loan.


Value of collateral
In Private Banking & Wealth Management, all collateral values for loans are regularly reviewed according to our risk management policies and directives, with maximum review periods determined by market liquidity, market transparency and appraisal costs. For example, traded securities are revalued on a daily basis and property values are appraised over a period of more than one year considering the characteristics of the borrower, current developments in the relevant real estate market and the current level of credit exposure to the borrower. If the credit exposure to a borrower has changed significantly, in volatile markets or in times of increasing general market risk, collateral values may be appraised more frequently. Management judgment is applied in assessing whether markets are volatile or general market risk has increased to a degree that warrants a more frequent update of collateral values. Movements in monitored risk metrics that are statistically different compared to historical experience are considered in addition to analysis of externally-provided forecasts, scenario techniques and macro-economic research. For impaired loans, the fair value of collateral is determined within 90 days of the date the impairment was identified and thereafter regularly revalued by Group credit risk management within the impairment review process.
In Investment Banking, few loans are collateral dependent. The collateral values for these loans are appraised on at least an annual basis, or when a loan-relevant event occurs.

20 Offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities
The disclosures set out in the tables below include derivatives, reverse repurchase and repurchase agreements, and securities lending and borrowing transactions that:

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

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

Derivatives
The Group transacts bilateral OTC derivatives mainly under ISDA Master Agreements and Swiss Master Agreements for OTC derivative instruments. These agreements provide for the net settlement of all transactions under the agreement through a single payment in the event of default or termination under the agreement. They allow the Group to offset balances from derivative assets and liabilities as well as the receivables and payables to related cash collateral transacted with the same counterparty. Collateral for OTC derivatives is received and provided in the form of cash and marketable securities. Such collateral may be subject to the standard industry terms of an ISDA Credit Support Annex. The terms of an ISDA Credit Support Annex provide that securities received or provided as collateral may be pledged or sold during the term of the transactions and must be returned upon maturity of the transaction. These terms also give each counterparty the right to terminate the related transactions upon the other counterparty’s failure to post collateral. Financial collateral received or pledged for OTC derivatives may also be subject to collateral agreements which restrict the use of financial collateral.
For derivatives transacted with exchanges (exchange-traded derivatives) and central clearing counterparties (OTC-cleared derivatives), positive and negative replacement values and related cash collateral may be offset if the terms of the rules and regulations governing these exchanges and central clearing counterparties permit such netting and offset.
Where no such agreements exist, fair values are recorded on a gross basis.
Under US GAAP, the Group elected to account for substantially all financial instruments with an embedded derivative that is not considered clearly and closely related to the host contract at fair value. There is an exception for certain bifurcatable hybrid debt instruments which the Group did not elect to account for at fair value. However, these bifurcated embedded derivatives are generally not subject to enforceable master netting agreements and are not recorded as derivative instruments under trading assets and liabilities or other assets and other liabilities. Information on bifurcated embedded derivatives has therefore not been included in the offsetting disclosures.

Reverse repurchase and repurchase agreements and securities lending and borrowing transactions
Reverse repurchase and repurchase agreements are generally covered by global master repurchase agreements with netting terms similar to ISDA Master Agreements. In certain situations, for example in the event of default, all contracts under the agreements are terminated and are settled net in one single payment. Transactions under such agreements are netted in the consolidated balance sheets if they are with the same counterparty, have the same maturity date, settle through the same clearing institution and are subject to the same master netting agreement. The amounts offset are measured on the same basis as the underlying transaction (i.e., on an accrual basis or fair value basis).
Securities lending and borrowing transactions are generally executed under global master securities lending agreements with netting terms similar to ISDA Master Agreements. In certain situations, for example in the event of default, all contracts under the agreement are terminated and are settled net in one single payment. Transactions under these agreements are netted in the consolidated balance sheets if they meet the same right of offset criteria as for reverse repurchase and repurchase agreements. In general, most securities lending and borrowing transactions do not meet the criterion of having the same settlement date specified at inception of the transaction, and therefore they are not eligible for netting in the consolidated balance sheets. However, securities lending and borrowing transactions with explicit maturity dates may be eligible for netting in the consolidated balance sheets.
Reverse repurchase and repurchase agreements are collateralized principally by government securities, money market instruments and corporate bonds and have terms ranging from overnight to a longer or unspecified period of time. In the event of counterparty default, the reverse repurchase agreement or securities lending agreement provides the Group with the right to liquidate the collateral held. As is the case in the Group’s normal course of business, substantially all of the collateral received that may be sold or repledged was sold or repledged as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. In certain circumstances, financial collateral received may be restricted during the term of the agreement (e.g., in tri-party arrangements).
The following table presents the gross amount of securities purchased under resale agreements and securities borrowing transactions subject to enforceable master netting agreements, the amount of offsetting, the amount of securities purchased under resale agreements and securities borrowing transactions not subject to enforceable master netting agreements and the net amount presented in the consolidated balance sheets.

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


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

21 Tax
The income tax expense of CHF 543 million recorded in 1Q14 included the impact of the geographical mix of results and an income tax expense of CHF 151 million from a change in the New York state tax laws enacted in 1Q14 which resulted in a decrease of related deferred tax assets.
The presentation of net deferred tax assets related to net operating losses, net deferred tax assets on temporary differences and net deferred tax liabilities is in accordance with ASC Topic 740 – Income Taxes guidance to interim reporting. Nettable gross deferred tax liabilities are allocated on a pro-rata basis to gross deferred tax assets on net operating losses and gross deferred tax assets on temporary differences. This approach is aligned with the underlying treatment of netting gross deferred tax assets and liabilities under the Basel III framework. Valuation allowances have been allocated against such deferred tax assets on net operating losses first with any remainder allocated to such deferred tax assets on temporary differences. This presentation is considered the most appropriate disclosure given the underlying nature of the gross deferred tax balances.
As of March 31, 2014, the Group had accumulated undistributed earnings from foreign subsidiaries of CHF 6.4 billion which are considered indefinitely reinvested. The Group would need to accrue and pay taxes on these undistributed earnings if such earnings were repatriated. No deferred tax liability was recorded in respect of those amounts as these earnings are considered indefinitely reinvested. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liabilities for these undistributed foreign earnings.
The Group is currently subject to ongoing tax audits, inquiries and litigation with the tax authorities in a number of jurisdictions, including Brazil, the Netherlands, the US, the UK and Switzerland. Although the timing of completion is uncertain, it is reasonably possible that some of these will be resolved within 12 months of the reporting date. It is reasonably possible that there will be a decrease between zero and CHF 72 million in unrecognized tax benefits within 12 months of the reporting date.
The Group remains open to examination from federal, state, provincial or similar local jurisdictions from the following years onward in these major countries: Switzerland – 2010; Brazil – 2008; Japan – 2008; the UK – 2006; the US – 2006; and the Netherlands – 2005.

1Q14 activity
In 1Q14, the Group granted share awards, performance share awards and CCA as part of the 2013 variable compensation. Expense recognition for these awards began in 1Q14 and will continue over the remaining service or vesting period of each respective award.

Share awards
In 1Q14, the Group granted 32.0 million share awards at a weighted average share price of CHF 28.11. Each share award granted entitles the holder of the award to receive one Group share, does not contain a leverage component or a multiplier effect and is subject to service conditions as it vests over three years, such that the share awards vest equally on each of the three anniversaries of the grant date. Share awards granted after January 1, 2014 do not include the right to receive dividend equivalents during the vesting period.

Performance share awards
In 1Q14, the Group granted 24.3 million performance share awards at a weighted average share price of CHF 28.13. Each performance share award granted entitles the holder of the award to receive one Group share. Performance share awards also vest over three years, such that the share awards vest equally on each of the three anniversaries of the grant date. Unlike share awards, however, the outstanding performance share awards are subject to a negative adjustment in the event of a divisional loss or a negative return on equity of the Group. Performance share awards granted after January 1, 2014 do not include the right to receive dividend equivalents during the vesting period.

Contingent Capital Awards
In 1Q14, managing directors and directors were granted a new form of award, CCA. The Group awarded CHF 391 million of CCA, which will vest on the third anniversary of the grant date and will be expensed over the vesting period.

Scaled Incentive Share Units
In 1Q14, SISU leverage units granted in 2010 were settled. In accordance with the terms of the plan, the SISU leverage units did not have a value at settlement.

2011 Partner Asset Facility
In 1Q14, the Group restructured the PAF2 awards. PAF2 awards were linked to a portfolio of the Group’s credit exposures, providing risk offset and capital relief. Due to regulatory changes, this capital relief would no longer be available. As a result of the restructuring, PAF2 holders were required to reallocate the exposure of their awards from the pool of counterparty credit risks in the original PAF2 structure to one of the following options, or a combination thereof: i) COF: participants elected for their award to be referenced to a COF. The COF is a seven-year facility that is linked to the performance of a portfolio of risk-transfer and capital mitigation transactions to be entered into with the Group chosen by a COF management team. The value of the COF awards will be reduced if there are losses from the COF portfolio, up to the full amount of the award. Participants who elected the COF will receive semi-annual US dollar cash distributions of 6.5% per annum until settlement in cash in 2021, and such semi-annual distributions will reduce the cash settlement amount payable in 2021; and ii) CCA: participants elected to receive CCA, with similar terms to the instruments granted as part of the 2013 compensation awards. The principal differences between the two forms of CCA are that these CCA are expected to settle approximately one year earlier and provide semi-annual cash payments of interest equivalents at slightly lower rates. Settlement is expected to occur in February 2016, subject to regulatory approvals.
In March 2014, 5,084 employees converted their PAF2 holdings of CHF 684 million into CCA (CHF 516 million) and COF (CHF 168 million).

Amendment to share plans
The terms of all past and future share-based awards granted to the Executive Board were amended in 2014 to enable election of settlement in cash or shares. The amendments permit Executive Board members to elect once a year, at a predefined date in advance of settlement, to receive their vested share-based awards in the form of shares, cash or 50% in the form of shares and 50% in cash, in each case based on the Group share price at the time of settlement. An election to receive cash is subject to reversal if the Group share price falls by more than 25% between election and settlement. The timing and pricing of settlement will be the same as under the previous award plan and as under the plans of the non-Executive Board population. This change does not affect deferred share-based awards to non-Executive Board members, which will continue to be settled in the form of Group shares.

Disclosures relating to contingent credit risk
Certain of the Group’s derivative instruments contain provisions that require it to maintain a specified credit rating from each of the major credit rating agencies. If the ratings fall below the level specified in the contract, the counterparties to the agreements could request payment of additional collateral on those derivative instruments that are in a net liability position. Certain of the derivative contracts also provide for termination of the contract, generally upon a downgrade of either the Group or the counterparty, at the existing mark-to-market replacement value of the derivative contract.
The following table provides the Group’s current net exposure from contingent credit risk relating to derivative contracts with bilateral counterparties and SPEs that include credit support agreements, the related collateral posted and the additional collateral required in a one-notch and a two-notch downgrade event, respectively. The table also includes derivative contracts with contingent credit risk features without credit support agreements that have accelerated termination event conditions. The current net exposure for derivative contracts with bilateral counterparties and contracts with accelerated termination event conditions is the aggregate fair value of derivative instruments that were in a net liability position. For SPEs, the current net exposure is the contractual amount that is used to determine the collateral payable in the event of a downgrade. The contractual amount could include both the NRV and a percentage of the notional value of the derivative.

Credit derivatives
> Refer to “Note 31 – Derivatives and hedging activities” in V – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2013 for further information on credit derivatives.

Credit protection sold/purchased
The following tables do not include all credit derivatives and differ from the credit derivatives in the “Fair value of derivative instruments” tables. This is due to the exclusion of certain credit derivative instruments under US GAAP, which defines a credit derivative as a derivative instrument (a) in which one or more of its underlyings are related to the credit risk of a specified entity (or a group of entities) or an index based on the credit risk of a group of entities and (b) that exposes the seller to potential loss from credit risk-related events specified in the contract.
Certain cash collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) and other derivative instruments were excluded as they do not fall within the scope of US GAAP rules. TRS of CHF 9.4 billion and CHF 7.4 billion as of the end of 1Q14 and 4Q13, respectively, were also excluded because a TRS does not expose the seller to potential loss from credit risk-related events specified in the contract. A TRS only provides protection against a loss in asset value and not against additional amounts as a result of specific credit events.

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

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

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

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

25 Guarantees and commitments
Guarantees
In the ordinary course of business, guarantees are provided that contingently obligate Credit Suisse to make payments to third parties if the counterparty fails to fulfill its obligation under a borrowing or other contractual arrangement. The total gross amount disclosed within the Guarantees table reflects the maximum potential payment under the guarantees. The carrying value represents the higher of the initial fair value (generally the related fee received or receivable) less cumulative amortization and the Group’s current best estimate of payments that will be required under existing guarantee arrangements.
Guarantees provided by the Group are classified as follows: credit guarantees and similar instruments, performance guarantees and similar instruments, securities lending indemnifications, derivatives and other guarantees.
> Refer to “Guarantees” in V – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group – Note 32 – Guarantees and commitments in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2013 for a detailed description of guarantees.

Deposit-taking banks and securities dealers in Switzerland and certain other European countries are required to ensure the payout of privileged deposits in case of specified restrictions or compulsory liquidation of a deposit-taking bank. In Switzerland, deposit-taking banks and securities dealers jointly guarantee an amount of up to CHF 6 billion. Upon occurrence of a payout event triggered by a specified restriction of business imposed by FINMA or by the compulsory liquidation of another deposit-taking bank, the Group’s contribution will be calculated based on its share of privileged deposits in proportion to total privileged deposits. Based on FINMA’s estimate for the Group’s banking subsidiaries in Switzerland, the Group’s share in the deposit insurance guarantee program for the period July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014 is CHF 0.6 billion. These deposit insurance guarantees were reflected in other guarantees.

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

breached, the Group may be required to repurchase the related loans or indemnify the investors to make them whole for losses. Whether the Group will incur a loss in connection with repurchases and make whole payments depends on: the extent to which claims are made; the validity of such claims (including the likelihood and ability to enforce claims); whether the Group can successfully claim against parties that sold loans to the Group and made representations and warranties to the Group; the residential real estate market, including the number of defaults; and whether the obligations of the securitization vehicles were guaranteed or insured by third parties.
With respect to its outstanding repurchase claims, the Group is unable to estimate reasonably possible losses in excess of the amounts accrued because of the heterogeneity of its portfolio, the complexity of legal and factual determinations related to each claim, the limited amount of discovery and/or other factors.
The following tables present the total amount of residential mortgage loans sold during the period from January 1, 2004 to March 31, 2014 by counterparty type and the development of outstanding repurchase claims and provisions for outstanding repurchase claims in 1Q14, 4Q13 and 1Q13, including realized losses from the repurchase of residential mortgage loans sold.

Representations and warranties relating to residential mortgage loans sold to non-agency securitization vehicles are more limited in scope than those relating to residential mortgage loans sold to GSEs, and it can be more difficult to establish causation and standing in making a repurchase claim for breach of representations and warranties on residential mortgage loans sold in non-agency securitizations. The Group is involved in litigation relating to representations and warranties on residential mortgage loans sold.
> Refer to “Note 29 – Litigation” for further information.

Repurchase claims on residential mortgage loans sold that are subject to arbitration or litigation proceedings, or become so during the reporting period, are not included in the Guarantees and commitments disclosure of repurchase claims and related loss contingencies and provisions but are addressed in litigation and related loss contingencies and provisions.
Repurchase claims relating to residential mortgage loans sold may increase in the future based on the large number of defaults in residential mortgages, including those sold or securitized by the Group.

Disposal-related contingencies and other indemnifications
The Group has certain guarantees for which its maximum contingent liability cannot be quantified. These guarantees include disposal-related contingencies in connection with the sale of assets or businesses, and other indemnifications. These guarantees are not reflected in the “Guarantees” table.
> Refer to “Disposal-related contingencies and other indemnifications” in V – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group – Note 32 – Guarantees and commitments in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2013 for a description of these guarantees.

Other commitments
Other commitments of the Group are classified as follows: irrevocable commitments under documentary credits, irrevocable loan commitments, forward reverse repurchase agreements and other commitments.
> Refer to “Other commitments” in V – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group – Note 32 – Guarantees and commitments in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2013 for a description of these commitments.

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


Transfers of financial assets
Securitizations
The majority of the Group’s securitization activities involve mortgages and mortgage-related securities and are predominantly transacted using SPEs. In a typical securitization, the SPE purchases assets financed by proceeds received from the SPE’s issuance of debt and equity instruments, certificates, commercial paper (CP) and other notes of indebtedness. These assets and liabilities are recorded on the balance sheet of the SPE and not reflected on the Group’s consolidated balance sheet, unless either the Group sold the assets to the entity and the accounting requirements for sale were not met or the Group consolidates the SPE.
The Group purchases commercial and residential mortgages for the purpose of securitization and sells these mortgage loans to SPEs. These SPEs issue commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), RMBS and asset-backed securities (ABS) that are collateralized by the assets transferred to the SPE and that pay a return based on the returns on those assets. Investors in these mortgage-backed securities or ABS typically have recourse to the assets in the SPEs, unless a third-party guarantee has been received to further enhance the creditworthiness of the assets. The investors and the SPEs have no recourse to the Group’s assets. The Group is typically an underwriter of, and makes a market in, these securities.
The Group also transacts in re-securitizations of previously issued RMBS securities. Typically, certificates issued out of an existing securitization vehicle are sold into a newly created and separate securitization vehicle. Often, these re-securitizations are initiated in order to repackage an existing security to give the investor a higher rated tranche.
The Group also uses SPEs for other asset-backed financings relating to client-driven activity and for Group tax or regulatory purposes. Types of structures included in this category include CDOs, leveraged finance, repack and other types of transactions, including life insurance structures, emerging market structures set up for financing, loan participation or loan origination purposes, and other alternative structures created for the purpose of investing in venture capital-like investments. CDOs are collateralized by the assets transferred to the CDO vehicle and pay a return based on the returns on those assets. Leveraged finance structures are used to assist in the syndication of certain loans held by the Group, while repack structures are designed to give a client collateralized exposure to specific cash flows or credit risk backed by collateral purchased from the Group. In these asset-backed financing structures investors typically only have recourse to the collateral of the SPE and do not have recourse to the Group’s assets.
When the Group transfers assets into an SPE, it must assess whether that transfer is accounted for as a sale of the assets. Transfers of assets may not meet sale requirements if the assets have not been legally isolated from the Group and/or if the Group’s continuing involvement is deemed to give it effective control over the assets. If the transfer is not deemed a sale, it is instead accounted for as a secured borrowing, with the transferred assets as collateral.
Gains and losses on securitization transactions depend, in part, on the carrying values of mortgages and CDOs involved in the transfer and are allocated between the assets sold and any beneficial interests retained according to the relative fair values at the date of sale.
The Group does not retain material servicing responsibilities from securitization activities.

117



The following table provides the gains or losses and proceeds from the transfer of assets relating to 1Q14 and 1Q13 securitizations of financial assets that qualify for sale accounting and subsequent derecognition, along with the cash flows between the Group and the SPEs used in any securitizations in which the Group still has continuing involvement, regardless of when the securitization occurred.

Continuing involvement in transferred financial assets
The Group may have continuing involvement in the financial assets that are transferred to an SPE which may take several forms, including, but not limited to, servicing, recourse and guarantee arrangements, agreements to purchase or redeem transferred assets, derivative instruments, pledges of collateral and beneficial interests in the transferred assets.
> Refer to “Transfer of financial assets” in V – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group – Note 33 – Transfer of financial assets and variable interest entities in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2013 for a detailed description of continuing involvement in transferred financial assets.

The following table provides the outstanding principal balance of assets to which the Group continued to be exposed after the transfer of the financial assets to any SPE and the total assets of the SPE as of the end of 1Q14 and 4Q13, regardless of when the transfer of assets occurred.

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

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

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

Variable interest entities
As a normal part of its business, the Group engages in various transactions that include entities that are considered VIEs and are grouped into three primary categories: CDOs, CP conduits and financial intermediation.
> Refer to “Variable interest entities” in V – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group – Note 33 – Transfer of financial assets and variable interest entities in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2013 for a detailed description of VIEs, CDOs, CP conduit or financial intermediation.

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

Commercial paper conduit
The Group continues to act as the administrator and provider of liquidity and credit enhancement facilities for one asset-backed CP conduit, Alpine, a client-focused multi-seller conduit vehicle. Alpine publishes portfolio and asset data and submits its portfolio to a rating agency for public ratings based on the cash flows of the portfolio taken as a whole. This CP conduit purchases assets, primarily loans and receivables, from clients and finances such purchases through the issuance of CP backed by these assets. For an asset to qualify for acquisition by the CP conduit, it must be rated at least investment grade after giving effect to the related asset-specific credit enhancement primarily provided by the client seller of the asset. The clients provide credit support to investors of the CP conduit in the form of over-collateralization and other asset-specific enhancements. Further, an unaffiliated investor retains a limited first-loss position in Alpine’s entire portfolio. Alpine is a separate legal entity that is wholly owned by the Group. However, its assets are available to satisfy only the claims of its creditors. In addition, the Group, as administrator and liquidity and credit enhancement facilities provider, has significant exposure to and power over the activities of Alpine. Alpine is considered a VIE for accounting purposes and the Group is deemed the primary beneficiary and consolidates this entity.
The overall average maturity of the conduit’s outstanding CP was approximately 50 days and 19 days as of 1Q14 and 4Q13, respectively. As of 1Q14 and 4Q13, Alpine had the highest short-term ratings from Moody’s and Dominion Bond Rating Service and was rated A-1 by Standard & Poor’s and F-1 by Fitch. The majority of Alpine’s purchased assets were highly rated loans or receivables in the consumer sector, including residential mortgages, financial services, auto and equipment loans or leases and advance financing receivables. As of 1Q14 and 4Q13, those assets had an average rating of AA, based on the lowest of each asset’s external or internal rating, and an average maturity of 1.9 years and 2.1 years as of 1Q14 and 4Q13, respectively.

Financial intermediation
The Group has significant involvement with VIEs in its role as a financial intermediary on behalf of clients.
Financial intermediation consists of securitizations, funds, loans and other vehicles.

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

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

Concentration of credit risk;
Fair value measurement (including fair value hierarchy, transfers between levels; level 3 reconciliation; qualitative and quantitative disclosures of valuation techniques and nonrecurring fair value changes)
Fair value option; and
Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments not carried at fair value.


Concentrations of credit risk
Credit risk concentrations arise when a number of counterparties are engaged in similar business activities, are located in the same geographic region or when there are similar economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly impacted by changes in economic conditions.
> Refer to “Note 34 – Financial instruments” in V – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2013 for further information on the Group’s concentrations of credit risk.

Fair value measurement
A significant portion of the Group’s financial instruments are carried at fair value. Deterioration of financial markets could significantly impact the fair value of these financial instruments and the results of operations.
The fair value of the majority of the Group’s financial instruments is based on quoted prices in active markets or observable inputs. These instruments include government and agency securities, certain CP, most investment grade corporate debt, certain high yield debt securities, exchange-traded and certain OTC derivative instruments and most listed equity securities.
In addition, the Group holds financial instruments for which no prices are available and which have little or no observable inputs. For these instruments, the determination of fair value requires subjective assessment and judgment, depending on liquidity, pricing assumptions, the current economic and competitive environment and the risks affecting the specific instrument. In such circumstances, valuation is determined based on management’s own judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. These instruments include certain OTC derivatives, including equity and credit derivatives, certain corporate equity-linked securities, mortgage-related and CDO securities, private equity investments, certain loans and credit products, including leveraged finance, certain syndicated loans and certain high yield bonds, and life finance instruments.
The fair value of financial assets and liabilities is impacted by factors such as benchmark interest rates, prices of financial instruments issued by third parties, commodity prices, foreign exchange rates and index prices or rates. In addition, valuation adjustments are an integral part of the valuation process when market prices are not indicative of the credit quality of a counterparty, and are applied to both OTC derivatives and debt instruments. The impact of changes in a counterparty’s credit spreads (known as CVA) is considered when measuring the fair value of assets and the impact of changes in the Group’s own credit spreads (known as DVA) is considered when measuring the fair value of its liabilities. For OTC derivatives, the impact of changes in both the Group’s and the counterparty’s credit standing is considered when measuring their fair value, based on current CDS prices. The adjustments also take into account contractual factors designed to reduce the Group’s credit exposure to a counterparty, such as collateral held and master netting agreements. For hybrid debt instruments with embedded derivative features, the impact of changes in the Group’s credit standing is considered when measuring their fair value, based on current funded debt spreads.
ASU 2011-04 permits a reporting entity to measure the fair value of a group of financial assets and financial liabilities on the basis of the price that would be received to sell a net long position or paid to transfer a net short position for a particular risk exposure in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. This change to the fair value measurement guidance is consistent with industry practice. As such, the Group continues to apply bid and offer adjustments to net portfolios of cash securities and/or derivative instruments to adjust the value of the net position from a mid-market price to the appropriate bid or offer level that would be realized under normal market conditions for the net long or net short position for a specific market risk. In addition, the Group reflects the net exposure to credit risk for its derivative instruments where the Group has legally enforceable agreements with its counterparties that mitigate credit risk exposure in the event of default. Valuation adjustments are recorded in a reasonable and consistent manner that results in an allocation to the relevant disclosures in the notes to the financial statements as if the valuation adjustment had been allocated to the individual unit of account.

Fair value hierarchy
The levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Group has the ability to access. This level of the fair value hierarchy provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and is used to measure fair value whenever available.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs include: (i) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; (ii) quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, that is, markets in which there are few transactions for the asset or liability, the prices are not current or price quotations vary substantially either over time or among market makers, or in which little information is publicly available; (iii) inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; or (iv) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3: Inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect the Group’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (including assumptions about risk). These inputs are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances, which include the Group’s own data. The Group’s own data used to develop unobservable inputs is adjusted if information indicates that market participants would use different assumptions.

Transfers between level 1 and level 2
All transfers between level 1 and level 2 are reported through the last day of the reporting period.
In 1Q14, transfers to level 1 out of level 2 were from trading assets and trading liabilities. The transfers were primarily in debt and equity as pricing inputs became more observable. Transfers out of level 1 to level 2 were primarily from trading assets. The transfers were primarily in equity as suitable closing prices were unobtainable as of the end of 1Q14.

Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair value of positions that have been classified within level 3. As a result, the unrealized gains and losses for assets and liabilities within level 3 presented in the table above may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable and unobservable inputs.
The Group employs various economic hedging techniques in order to manage risks, including risks in level 3 positions. Such techniques may include the purchase or sale of financial instruments that are classified in levels 1 and/or 2. The realized and unrealized gains and losses for assets and liabilities in level 3 presented in the table above do not reflect the related realized or unrealized gains and losses arising on economic hedging instruments classified in levels 1 and/or 2.

Transfers in and out of level 3
Transfers into level 3 assets during 1Q14 were CHF 1,631 million, primarily from loans held-for-sale and trading assets. The transfers were primarily in the corporate credit and alternative investment businesses due to limited observability of pricing data and reduced pricing information from external providers. Transfers out of level 3 assets during 1Q14 were CHF 2,355 million, primarily in trading assets and loans held-for-sale. The transfers out of level 3 assets were primarily in the corporate credit and prime services businesses due to improved observability of pricing data and increased availability of pricing information from external providers.

Qualitative disclosures of valuation techniques
Overview
The Group has implemented and maintains a valuation control framework, which is supported by policies and procedures that define the principles for controlling the valuation of the Group’s financial instruments. Product Control and Risk Management create, review and approve significant valuation policies and procedures. The framework includes three main internal processes: (i) valuation governance; (ii) independent price verification and significant unobservable inputs review; and (iii) a cross-functional pricing model review. Through this framework, the Group determines the reasonableness of the fair value of its financial instruments.
On a monthly basis, meetings are held for each business line with senior representatives of the Front Office and Product Control to discuss independent price verification results, valuation adjustments, and other significant valuation issues. On a quarterly basis, a review of significant changes in the fair value of financial instruments is undertaken by Product Control and conclusions are reached regarding the reasonableness of those changes. Additionally, on a quarterly basis, meetings are held for each business line with senior representatives of the Front Office, Product Control, Risk Management, and Financial Accounting to discuss independent price verification results, valuation issues, business and market updates, as well as a review of significant changes in fair value from the prior quarter, significant unobservable inputs and prices used in valuation techniques, and valuation adjustments.
The results of these meetings are aggregated for presentation to the Valuation and Risk Management Committee (VARMC) and the Audit Committee. The VARMC, which is comprised of Executive Board members and the heads of the business and control functions, meets to review and ratify valuation review conclusions, and to resolve significant valuation issues for the Group. Oversight of the valuation control framework is through specific and regular reporting on valuation directly to the Group’s Executive Board through the VARMC.
One of the key components of the governance process is the segregation of duties between the Front Office and Product Control. The Front Office is responsible for measuring inventory at fair value on a daily basis, while Product Control is responsible for independently reviewing and validating those valuations on a periodic basis. The Front Office values the inventory using, wherever possible, observable market data which may include executed transactions, dealer quotes, or broker quotes for the same or similar instruments. Product Control validates this inventory using independently sourced data that also includes executed transactions, dealer quotes, and broker quotes.
Product Control utilizes independent pricing service data as part of their review process. Independent pricing service data is analyzed to ensure that it is representative of fair value including confirming that the data corresponds to executed transactions or executable broker quotes, review and assessment of contributors to ensure they are active market participants, review of statistical data and utilization of pricing challenges. The analysis also includes understanding the sources of the pricing service data and any models or assumptions used in determining the results. The

132



purpose of the review is to judge the quality and reliability of the data for fair value measurement purposes and its appropriate level of usage within the Product Control independent valuation review.
For certain financial instruments the fair value is estimated in full or in part using valuation techniques based on assumptions that are not supported by market observable prices, rates, or other inputs. In addition, there may be uncertainty about a valuation, which results from the choice of valuation technique or model used, the assumptions embedded in those models, the extent to which inputs are not market observable, or as a consequence of other elements affecting the valuation technique or model. Model calibration is performed when significant new market information becomes available or at a minimum on a quarterly basis as part of the business review of significant unobservable inputs for level 3 instruments. For models that have been deemed to be significant to the overall fair value of the financial instrument, model validation is performed as part of the periodic review of the related model.
The Group performs a sensitivity analysis of its significant level 3 financial instruments. This sensitivity analysis estimates a fair value range by changing the related significant unobservable inputs value. This sensitivity analysis is an internal mechanism to monitor the impact of reasonable alternative inputs or prices for level 3 financial instruments. Where a model-based technique is used to determine the fair value of the level 3 financial instrument, an alternative input value is utilized to derive an estimated fair value range. Where a price-based technique is used to determine the fair value of the level 3 financial instruments, Front Office professional judgment is used to estimate a fair value range.
The following information on the valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs of the various financial instruments, and the sensitivity of fair value measurements to changes in significant unobservable inputs, should be read in conjunction with the tables “Quantitative information about level 3 assets at fair value” and “Quantitative information about level 3 liabilities at fair value”.

Central bank funds sold, securities purchased under resale agreements and securities borrowing transactions
Securities purchased under resale agreements and securities sold under repurchase agreements are measured at fair value using discounted cash flow analysis. Future cash flows are discounted using observable market interest rate repurchase/resale curves for the applicable maturity and underlying collateral of the instruments. As such, the significant majority of both securities purchased under resale agreements and securities sold under repurchase agreements are included in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Structured resale and repurchase agreements include embedded derivatives, which are measured using the same techniques as described below for stand-alone derivative contracts held for trading purposes or used in hedge accounting relationships. If the value of the embedded derivative is determined using significant unobservable inputs, those structured resale and repurchase agreements are classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Significant unobservable input is funding spread.
Securities purchased under resale agreements are usually fully collateralized or over collateralized by government securities, money market instruments, corporate bonds, or other debt instruments. In the event of counterparty default, the collateral service agreement provides the Group with the right to liquidate the collateral held.

Debt securities
Foreign governments and corporates
Government debt securities typically have quoted prices in active markets and are categorized as level 1 instruments. For debt securities for which market prices are not available, valuations are based on yields reflecting credit rating, historical performance, delinquencies, loss severity, the maturity of the security, recent transactions in the market or other modeling techniques, which may involve judgment. Those securities where the price or model inputs are observable in the market are categorized as level 2 instruments, while those securities where prices are not observable and significant model inputs are unobservable are categorized as level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Corporate bonds are priced to reflect current market levels either through recent market transactions or broker or dealer quotes. Where a market price for the particular security is not directly available, valuations are obtained based on yields reflected by other instruments in the specific or similar entity’s capital structure and adjusting for differences in seniority and maturity, benchmarking to a comparable security where market data is available (taking into consideration differences in credit, liquidity and maturity), or through the application of cash flow modeling techniques utilizing observable inputs, such as current interest rate curves and observable CDS spreads. Significant unobservable inputs may include price, buyback probability, correlation and credit spread. For securities using market comparable price, the differentiation between level 2 and level 3 is based upon the relative significance of any yield adjustments as well as the accuracy of the comparison characteristics (i.e., the observable comparable security may be in the same country but a different industry and may have a different seniority level – the lower the comparability the more likely the security will be level 3).

CMBS, RMBS and CDO securities
Fair values of RMBS, CMBS and CDO may be available through quoted prices, which are often based on the prices at which similarly structured and collateralized securities trade between dealers and to and from customers. Fair values of RMBS, CMBS and CDO for which there are significant unobservable inputs are valued using capitalization rate and discount rate. Price may not be observable for fair value measurement purposes for many reasons, such as the length of time since the last executed transaction for the related security, use of a price from a similar instrument, or use of a price from an indicative quote. Fair values determined by market comparable price may include discounted cash flow models using the inputs prepayment rates, default rates, loss severity

133



and discount rates. Prices from similar observable instruments are used to calculate implied inputs which are then used to value unobservable instruments using discounted cash flow. The discounted cash flow price is then compared to the unobservable prices and assessed for reasonableness.
For most structured debt securities, determination of fair value requires subjective assessment depending on liquidity, ownership concentration, and the current economic and competitive environment. Valuation is determined based on the Front Office’s own assumptions about how market participants would price the asset. Collateralized bond and loan obligations are split into various structured tranches and each tranche is valued based upon its individual rating and the underlying collateral supporting the structure. Valuation models are used to value both cash and synthetic CDOs.

Equity securities
The majority of the Group’s positions in equity securities are traded on public stock exchanges for which quoted prices are readily and regularly available and are therefore categorized as level 1 instruments. Level 2 and level 3 equities include fund-linked products, convertible bonds or equity securities with restrictions that are not traded in active markets. Significant unobservable inputs may include earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) multiple, discount rate and capitalization rate.

Derivatives
Derivatives held for trading purposes or used in hedge accounting relationships include both OTC and exchange-traded derivatives. The fair values of exchange-traded derivatives measured using observable exchange prices are included in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. For exchange-traded derivatives where the volume of trading is low, the observable exchange prices may not be considered executable at the reporting date. These derivatives are valued in the same manner as similar observable OTC derivatives and are included in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. If the similar OTC derivative used for valuing the exchange-traded derivative is not observable, than the exchange-traded derivative is included in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The fair values of OTC derivatives are determined on the basis of either industry standard models or internally developed proprietary models. Both model types use various observable and unobservable inputs in order to determine fair value. The inputs include those characteristics of the derivative that have a bearing on the economics of the instrument. The determination of the fair value of many derivatives involves only a limited degree of subjectivity because the required inputs are observable in the marketplace, while more complex derivatives may use unobservable inputs that rely on specific proprietary modeling assumptions. Where observable inputs (prices from exchanges, dealers, brokers or market consensus data providers) are not available, attempts are made to infer values from observable prices through model calibration (spot and forward rates, mean reversion, benchmark interest rate curves and volatility inputs for commonly traded option products). For inputs that cannot be derived from other sources, estimates from historical data may be made. OTC derivatives where the majority of the value is derived from market observable inputs are categorized as level 2 instruments, while those where the majority of the value is derived from unobservable inputs are categorized as level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Our valuation of derivatives does not include an adjustment for the cost of funding uncollateralized OTC derivatives due to a lack of clear observability in the marketplace.

Interest rate derivatives
OTC vanilla interest rate products, such as interest rate swaps, swaptions, and caps and floors are valued by discounting the anticipated future cash flows. The future cash flows and discounting are derived from market standard yield curves and industry standard volatility inputs. Where applicable, exchange-traded prices are also used to value exchange-traded futures and options and can be used in yield curve construction. For more complex products, inputs include, but are not limited to correlation, volatility, volatility skew, prepayment rate, credit spread, basis spread and mean reversion.

Foreign exchange derivatives
Foreign exchange derivatives include vanilla products such as spot, forward and option contracts where the anticipated discounted future cash flows are determined from foreign exchange forward curves and industry standard optionality modeling techniques. Where applicable, exchange-traded prices are also used for futures and option prices. For more complex products inputs include, but are not limited to prepayment rate and correlation.

Equity and index-related derivatives
Equity derivatives include vanilla options and swaps in addition to different types of exotic options. Inputs for equity derivatives can include correlation, volatility, skew and buyback probability.
Generally, the interrelationship between the volatility and correlation is positively correlated.

Credit derivatives
Credit derivatives include index and single name CDS in addition to more complex structured credit products. Vanilla products are valued using industry standard models and inputs that are generally market observable including credit spread and recovery rate.
Complex structured credit derivatives are valued using proprietary models requiring unobservable inputs such as recovery rate, credit spread, correlation and price. These inputs are generally implied from available market observable data. Fair values determined by price may include discounted cash flow models using the inputs prepayment rate, default rate, loss severity and discount rate.

Other trading assets
Other trading assets primarily include RMBS loans and life settlement and premium finance instruments. Life settlement and premium finance instruments are valued using proprietary models with

134



several inputs. The significant unobservable inputs of the fair value for life settlement and premium finance instruments is the estimate of market implied life expectancy, while for RMBS loans it is market comparable price.
For life settlement and premium finance instruments, individual life expectancy rates are typically obtained by multiplying a base mortality curve for the general insured population provided by a professional actuarial organization together with an individual-specific multiplier. Individual-specific multipliers are determined based on data from third-party life expectancy data providers, which examine the insured individual’s medical conditions, family history and other factors to arrive at a life expectancy estimate.
For RMBS loans, the use of market comparable price varies depending upon each specific loan. For some loans, similar to unobservable RMBS securities, prices from similar observable instruments are used to calculate implied inputs which are then used to value unobservable instruments using discounted cash flow. The discounted cash flow price is then compared to the unobservable prices and assessed for reasonableness. For other RMBS loans, the loans are categorized by specific characteristics, such as loan-to-value ratio, average account balance, loan type (single or multi-family), lien, seasoning, coupon, FICO score, locality, delinquency status, cash flow velocity, roll rates, loan purpose, occupancy, servicers advance agreement type, modification status, Federal Housing Administration insurance, property value and documentation quality. Loans with unobservable prices are put into consistent buckets which are then compared to market observable comparable prices in order to assess the reasonableness of those unobservable prices.

Other investments
Private equity, hedge funds and other equity investments
Other equity investments principally includes equity investments in the form of a) direct investments in third-party hedge funds, private equity funds and funds of funds, b) equity-method investments where the Group has the ability to significantly influence the operating and financial policies of the investee, and c) direct investments in non-marketable equity securities.
Direct investments in third-party hedge funds, private equity funds and funds of funds are measured at fair value based on their published net asset values (NAVs). Most of these investments are classified as level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, as there are restrictions imposed upon the redemption of the funds at their NAV in the near term. In some cases, NAVs may be adjusted where there is sufficient evidence that the NAV published by the investment manager is not current with observed market movements, it is probable that these investments will be sold for an amount other than NAV or there exist other circumstances that would require an adjustment to the published NAV. Although rarely adjusted, significant judgment is involved in making any adjustments to the published NAVs.
Direct investments in non-marketable equity securities consist of both real estate investments and non-real estate investments. Equity-method investments and direct investments in non-marketable equity securities are initially measured at their transaction price, as this is the best estimate of fair value. Thereafter, these investments are individually measured at fair value based upon a number of factors that include any recent rounds of financing involving third-party investors, comparable company transactions, multiple analyses of cash flows or book values, or discounted cash flow analyses. Unobservable inputs may include credit spread, contingent probability and EBITDA multiple. The availability of information used in these modeling techniques is often limited and involves significant judgment in evaluating these different factors over time. As a result, these investments are included in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Life finance instruments
Life finance instruments include Single Premium Immediate Annuities (SPIA) and other premium finance instruments. Life finance instruments are valued in a similar manner as described for life settlement and premium finance instruments under the other trading assets section above.

Loans
The Group’s loan portfolio which is measured at fair value primarily consists of commercial and industrial loans and loans to financial institutions. Within these categories, loans measured at fair value include commercial loans, real estate loans, corporate loans, leverage finance loans and emerging market loans. Fair value is based on recent transactions and quoted prices, where available. Where recent transactions and quoted prices are not available, fair value may be determined by relative value benchmarking (which includes pricing based upon another position in the same capital structure, other comparable loan issues, generic industry credit spreads, implied credit spreads derived from CDS for the specific borrower, and enterprise valuations) or calculated based on the exit price of the collateral, based on current market conditions.
Both the funded and unfunded portion of revolving credit lines on the corporate lending portfolio are valued using a CDS pricing model, which requires estimates of significant inputs including credit spreads, recovery rates, credit conversion factors, and weighted average life of the loan. Significant unobservable inputs may include credit spread and price.
The Group’s other assets and liabilities include mortgage loans held in conjunction with securitization activities and assets and liabilities of VIEs and mortgage securitizations that do not meet the criteria for sale treatment under US GAAP. The fair value of mortgage loans held in conjunction with securitization activities is determined on a whole-loan basis and is consistent with the valuation of RMBS loans discussed in “Other trading assets” above. Whole-loan valuations are calculated based on the exit price reflecting the current market conditions. The fair value of assets and liabilities of VIEs and mortgage securitizations that do not meet the criteria for sale treatment under US GAAP are determined based on the quoted prices for securitized bonds, where available, or on cash flow analyses for securitized bonds, when quoted prices are not available.

Accrual based Private Banking & Wealth Management loans, for which an estimated fair value is disclosed in the table “Carrying value and fair value of financial instruments not carried at fair value” below, include consumer loans relating to mortgages, loans collateralized by securities or consumer finance, as well as corporate and institutional loans relating to real estate, commercial and industrial loans, and loans to financial institutions, governments and public institutions. Fair values for these loans are determined by using a discounted cash flow model. Future cash flows are discounted using risk-adjusted discount rates which are derived from observable market interest rates for the applicable maturity and currency and from counterparty-related credit spreads.

Deposits
Accrual based deposits with a stated maturity, for which an estimated fair value is disclosed in the table “Carrying value and fair value of financial instruments not carried at fair value” below, are generally fair valued by using a discounted cash flow model incorporating the Group’s credit spreads. The estimated fair value of accrual accounted deposits without a stated maturity approximates the carrying amount; however, the value does not include an estimate of the value attributed to the long-term relationships with its customers that in the aggregate adds significant value to the Group’s stable deposit base.

Short-term borrowings and long-term debt
The Group’s short-term borrowings and long-term debt include structured notes (hybrid financial instruments that are both bifurcatable and non-bifurcatable) and vanilla debt. The fair value of structured notes is based on quoted prices, where available. When quoted prices are not available, fair value is determined by using a discounted cash flow model incorporating the Group’s credit spreads, the value of derivatives embedded in the debt and the residual term of the issuance based on call options. Derivatives structured into the issued debt are valued consistently with the Group’s stand-alone derivative contracts held for trading purposes or used in hedge accounting relationships as discussed above. The fair value of structured debt is heavily influenced by the combined call options and performance of the underlying derivative returns. Significant unobservable inputs for long-term debt include buyback probability, gap risk, correlation, volatility and price.
Generally, the interrelationships between volatility, skew, correlation, gap risk and credit spreads inputs are positively correlated.

Other liabilities
Failed sales
These liabilities represent the financing of assets that did not achieve sale accounting treatment under US GAAP. Failed sales are valued in a manner consistent with the related underlying financial instruments.

Short-term financial instruments
Certain short-term financial instruments are not carried at fair value on the balance sheet, but a fair value has been disclosed in the table “Carrying value and fair value of financial instruments not carried at fair value” below. These instruments include: cash and due from banks, cash collateral receivables and payables and other receivables and payables arising in the ordinary course of business. For these financial instruments, the carrying value approximates the fair value due to the relatively short period of time between their origination and expected realization, as well as the minimal credit risk inherent in these instruments.

Sensitivity of fair value measurements to changes in significant unobservable inputs
For level 3 assets with a significant unobservable input of buyback probability, EBITDA multiple, market implied life expectancy (for life finance instruments), correlation, price, volatility, volatility skew, funding spread and contingent probability, in general, an increase in the significant unobservable input would increase the fair value. For level 3 assets with a significant unobservable input of market implied life expectancy (for life settlement and premium finance instruments), capitalization rate, discount rate, prepayment rate, recovery rate and credit spread, in general, an increase in the significant unobservable input would decrease the fair value.
For level 3 liabilities, an increase in the related significant unobservable inputs would have the inverse impact on fair value. An increase in the significant unobservable input gap risk would increase the fair value. An increase in the significant unobservable inputs basis spread, mean reversion and skew would decrease the fair value.

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

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

Qualitative discussion of the ranges of significant unobservable inputs
The following sections provide further information about the ranges of significant unobservable inputs included in the tables above. The level of aggregation and diversity within the financial instruments disclosed in the tables above result in certain ranges of significant inputs being wide and unevenly distributed across asset and liability categories.

Discount rate
The discount rate is the rate of interest used to calculate the present value of the expected cash flows of a financial instrument. There are multiple factors that will impact the discount rate for any

142



given financial instrument including the coupon on the instrument, the term and the underlying risk of the expected cash flows. Two instruments of similar term and expected cash flows may have significantly different discount rates because the coupons on the instruments are different.

Default rate and loss severity
For financial instruments backed by residential real estate or other assets, diversity in the portfolio is reflected in a wide range for loss severity due to varying levels of default. The lower end of the range represents high performing or government guaranteed collateral with a low probability of default or guaranteed timely payment of principal and interest, while the higher end of the range relates collateral with a greater risk of default.

Credit spread and recovery rate
For financial instruments where credit spread is the significant unobservable input, the wide range represents positions with varying levels of risk. The lower end of the credit spread range typically represents shorter-dated instruments and/or those with better perceived credit risk. The higher end of the range typically comprises longer-dated financial instruments or those referencing non-performing, distressed or impaired reference credits. Similarly, the spread between the reference credit and an index can vary significantly based on the risk of the instrument. The spread will be positive for instruments that have a higher risk of default than the index (which is based on a weighted average of its components) and negative for instruments that have a lower risk of default than the index.
Similarly, recovery rates can vary significantly depending upon the specific assets and terms of each transaction. Transactions with higher seniority or more valuable collateral will have higher recovery rates, while those transactions which are more subordinated or with less valuable collateral will have lower recovery rates.

Correlation
There are many different types of correlation inputs, including credit correlation, cross-asset correlation (such as equity-interest rate correlation), and same-asset correlation (such as interest rate-interest rate correlation). Correlation inputs are generally used to value hybrid and exotic instruments. Generally, same-asset correlation inputs have a narrower range than cross-asset correlation inputs. However, due to the complex and unique nature of these instruments, the ranges for correlation inputs can vary widely across portfolios.

Prepayment rate
Prepayment rates may vary from collateral pool to collateral pool, and are driven by a variety of collateral-specific factors, including the type and location of the underlying borrower, the remaining tenor of the obligation and the level and type (e.g., fixed or floating) of interest rate being paid by the borrower.

Volatility and skew
Volatility and skew are impacted by the underlying risk, term and strike price of the derivative. In the case of interest rate derivatives, volatility rates may vary significantly between different underlying currencies and expiration dates on the options. Similarly, equity derivatives’ volatility may vary greatly depending upon the underlying reference name on the derivative.

Market implied life expectancy
Market implied life expectancy is the primary significant unobservable input on such products as life settlement, premium finance and SPIA, and represents the estimated mortality rate for the underlying insured for each contract. This estimate may vary depending upon multiple factors including the age and specific health characteristics of each insured.

Fair value measurements of investments in certain entities that calculate NAV per share
Investments in funds held in trading assets and liabilities primarily include positions held in equity funds of funds as an economic hedge for structured notes and derivatives issued to clients that reference the same underlying risk and liquidity terms of the fund. A majority of these funds have limitations imposed on the amount of withdrawals from the fund during the redemption period due to illiquidity of the investments. In other instances, the withdrawal amounts may vary depending on the redemption notice period and are usually larger for the longer redemption notice periods. In addition, penalties may apply if redemption is within a certain time period from initial investment.
Investment in funds held in other investments principally involves private securities and, to a lesser extent, publicly traded securities and fund of funds. Several of these investments have redemption restrictions subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors of the fund and/or redemption is permitted without restriction, but is limited to a certain percentage of total assets or only after a certain date.
Furthermore, for those investments held in both trading assets and other investments that are nonredeemable, the underlying assets of such funds are expected to be liquidated over the life of the fund, which are generally up to ten years.
The following table pertains to investments in certain entities that calculate NAV per share or its equivalent, primarily private equity and hedge funds. These investments do not have a readily determinable fair value and are measured at fair value using NAV.

Nonrecurring fair value changes
Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, they are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, for example, when there is evidence of impairment. The Group typically uses nonfinancial assets measured at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis in a manner that reflects their highest and best use.

Fair value option
The Group has availed itself of the simplification in accounting offered under the fair value option, primarily in Investment Banking and Private Banking & Wealth Management’s Asset Management business. This has been accomplished generally by electing the fair value option, both at initial adoption and for subsequent transactions, on items impacted by the hedge accounting requirements of US GAAP. That is, for instruments for which there was an inability to achieve hedge accounting and for which the Group is economically hedged, the Group has elected the fair value option. Similarly, where the Group manages an activity on a fair value basis but previously has been unable to achieve fair value accounting, the Group has utilized the fair value option to align its risk management reporting to its financial accounting.
> Refer to “Note 34 – Financial instruments” in V – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2013 for further information on the Group’s election of the fair value option for certain of its financial statement captions.

Changes in fair value related to credit risk are due to the change in the Group's own credit spreads. Other changes in fair value are attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, as well as movements in the reference price or index for structured notes. Changes in fair value on Credit Suisse vanilla debt and on debit valuation adjustments on structured notes related to credit risk were CHF (92) million and CHF 27 million in 1Q14, respectively, and CHF (37) million and CHF (29) million in 1Q13, respectively.

29 Litigation
The Group is involved in a number of judicial, regulatory and arbitration proceedings concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of its businesses. The Group’s material proceedings, related provisions and estimate of the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses that are not covered by existing provisions are described in Note 38 – Litigation in V – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2013 and updated in subsequent quarterly reports (including those discussed below). Some of these proceedings have been brought on behalf of various classes of claimants and seek damages of material and/or indeterminate amounts.
The Group accrues loss contingency litigation provisions and takes a charge to income in connection with certain proceedings when losses, additional losses or ranges of loss are probable and reasonably estimable. The Group also accrues litigation provisions for the estimated fees and expenses of external lawyers and other service providers in relation to such proceedings, including in cases for which it has not accrued a loss contingency provision. The Group accrues these fee and expense litigation provisions and takes a charge to income in connection therewith when such fees and expenses are probable and reasonably estimable. The Group reviews its legal proceedings each quarter to determine the adequacy of its litigation provisions and may increase or release provisions based on management’s judgment and the advice of counsel. The establishment of additional provisions or releases of litigation provisions may be necessary in the future as developments in such proceedings warrant.
The specific matters described include (a) proceedings where the Group has accrued a loss contingency provision, given that it is probable that a loss may be incurred and such loss is reasonably estimable; and (b) proceedings where the Group has not accrued such a loss contingency provision for various reasons, including, but not limited to, the fact that any related losses are not reasonably estimable. The description of certain of the matters includes a statement that the Group has established a loss contingency provision and discloses the amount of such provision; for the other matters no such statement is made. With respect to the matters for which no such statement is made, either (a) the Group has not established a loss contingency provision, in which case the matter is treated as a contingent liability under the applicable accounting standard, or (b) the Group has established such a provision but believes that disclosure of that fact would violate confidentiality obligations to which the Group is subject or otherwise compromise attorney-client privilege, work product protection or other protections against disclosure or compromise the Group’s management of the matter. The future outflow of funds in respect of any matter for which the Group has accrued loss contingency provisions cannot be determined with certainty based on currently available information, and accordingly may ultimately prove to be substantially greater (or may be less) than the provision that is reflected on the Group’s balance sheet.
It is inherently difficult to determine whether a loss is probable or even reasonably possible or to estimate the amount of any loss or loss range for many of the Group’s legal proceedings. Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgment and currently available information and involve a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the type and nature of the proceeding, the progress of the matter, the advice of counsel, the Group’s defenses and its experience in similar matters, as well as its assessment of matters, including settlements, involving other defendants in similar or

148



related cases or proceedings. Factual and legal determinations, many of which are complex, must be made before a loss, additional losses or ranges of loss can be reasonably estimated for any proceeding.
Most matters pending against the Group seek damages of an indeterminate amount. While certain matters specify the damages claimed, such claimed amount may not represent the Group’s reasonably possible losses. For certain of the proceedings discussed the Group has disclosed the amount of damages claimed and certain other quantifiable information that is publicly available.
The Group’s aggregate litigation provisions include estimates of losses, additional losses or ranges of loss for proceedings for which such losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. The Group does not believe that it can estimate an aggregate range of reasonably possible losses for certain of its proceedings because of their complexity, the novelty of some of the claims, the early stage of the proceedings, the limited amount of discovery that has occurred and/or other factors. The Group’s estimate of the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses that are not covered by existing provisions for the proceedings discussed in Note 38 referenced above and updated in quarterly reports (including below) for which the Group believes an estimate is possible is zero to CHF 2.4 billion.
In 1Q14, the Group recorded net litigation provisions of CHF 107 million. After taking into account its litigation provisions, the Group believes, based on currently available information and advice of counsel, that the results of its legal proceedings, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Group’s financial condition. However, in light of the inherent uncertainties of such proceedings, including those brought by regulators or other governmental authorities, the ultimate cost to the Group of resolving such proceedings may exceed current litigation provisions and any excess may be material to its operating results for any particular period, depending, in part, upon the operating results for such period.

Mortgage-related matters
The amounts disclosed below do not reflect actual realized plaintiff losses to date or anticipated future litigation exposure. Rather, unless otherwise stated, these amounts reflect the original unpaid principal balance amounts as alleged in these actions and do not include any reduction in principal amounts since issuance.

Individual investor actions
On April 3, 2014, CMFG Life Insurance Company and affiliated entities filed an action against Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (CSS LLC) in the US District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin relating to approximately USD 70 million of RMBS.  On April 3, 2014, Texas County and District Retirement System filed an action against CSS LLC and other financial institutions in Texas state court relating to an unstated amount of RMBS at issue. On April 11, 2014, following a settlement, the Minnesota state court presiding in the action brought by Minnesota Life Insurance Company and affiliated entities against CSS LLC and its affiliates entered an order of dismissal, discontinuing all claims against CSS LLC and its affiliates, relating to approximately USD 43 million of RMBS. On April 14, 2014, Allstate Insurance Company and CSS LLC and its affiliates filed a partial stipulation of dismissal with the Supreme Court for the State of New York, New York County to discontinue certain claims against CSS LLC and its affiliates, reducing the RMBS at issue for CSS LLC and its affiliates from approximately USD 187 million to approximately USD 169 million. On April 29, 2014, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) entered into an agreement with First Horizon National Corporation and its affiliates and employees to settle all claims in the last remaining action filed by the FHFA against CSS LLC, relating to approximately USD 230 million of RMBS at issue against CSS LLC.

30 Subsidiary guarantee information
Certain wholly-owned finance subsidiaries of the Group, including Credit Suisse Group (Guernsey) I Limited and Credit Suisse Group (Guernsey) III Limited, each of which is a Guernsey incorporated non-cellular company limited by shares, may issue contingent convertible securities fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Group. There are various legal and regulatory requirements, including the satisfaction of a solvency test under Guernsey law, applicable to some of the Group’s subsidiaries that limit their ability to pay dividends or distributions and make loans and advances to the Group.
On March 26, 2007, the Group and the Bank issued full, unconditional and several guarantees of Credit Suisse (USA), Inc.’s outstanding SEC-registered debt securities. In accordance with the guarantees, if Credit Suisse (USA), Inc. fails to make any timely payment under the agreements governing such debt securities, the holders of the debt securities may demand payment from either the Group or the Bank, without first proceeding against Credit Suisse (USA), Inc. The guarantee from the Group is subordinated to senior liabilities. Credit Suisse (USA), Inc. is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of the Group.
In 4Q13, as part of an announced program to evolve the Group’s legal entity structure to meet developing and future regulatory requirements and Fed regulation on establishing Intermediate Holding Companies in the US for non-US banks, several existing legal entities were re-parented as subsidiaries of Credit Suisse (USA), Inc. In the tables below, prior periods have been restated to conform to the current presentation to reflect the impact of these transactions.

Cautionary statement regarding forward-looking information

This report contains statements that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In addition, in the future we, and others on our behalf, may make statements that constitute forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements may include, without limitation, statements relating to the following:

our plans, objectives 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 “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 except as may be required by applicable securities laws.
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, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions expressed in such forward-looking statements. These factors include:

the ability to maintain sufficient liquidity and access capital markets;
market and interest rate fluctuations and interest rate levels;
the strength of the global economy in general and the strength of the economies of the countries in which we conduct our operations, in particular the risk of continued slow economic recovery or downturn in the US or other developed countries in 2014 and beyond;
the direct and indirect impacts of deterioration or slow recovery in residential and commercial real estate markets;
adverse rating actions by credit rating agencies in respect of sovereign issuers, structured credit products or other credit-related exposures;
the ability to achieve our strategic objectives, including improved performance, reduced risks, lower costs and more efficient use of capital;
the ability of counterparties to meet their obligations to us;
the effects of, and changes in, fiscal, monetary, trade and tax policies, and currency fluctuations;
political and social developments, including war, civil unrest or terrorist activity;
the possibility of foreign exchange controls, expropriation, nationalization or confiscation of assets in countries in which we conduct our operations;
operational factors such as systems failure, human error, or the failure to implement procedures properly;
actions taken by regulators with respect to our business and practices in one or more of the countries in which we conduct our operations;
the effects of changes in laws, regulations or accounting policies or practices;
competition in geographic and business areas in which we conduct our operations;
the ability to retain and recruit qualified personnel;
the ability to maintain our reputation and promote our brand;
the ability to increase market share and control expenses;
technological changes;
the timely development and acceptance of our new products and services and the perceived overall value of these products and services by users;
acquisitions, including the ability to integrate acquired businesses successfully, and divestitures, including the ability to sell non-core assets;
the adverse resolution of litigation and other contingencies;
the ability to achieve our cost efficiency goals and cost targets; and
our success at managing 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 2013.
