REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Plan Participants and the Plan Administrator of the UBS Financial Services Incorporated of Puerto Rico Savings Plus Plan

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the UBS Financial Services Incorporated of Puerto Rico Savings Plus Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2017, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2017, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Plan’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Plan in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Supplemental Schedule

The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2017, has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Plan’s financial statements. The information in the supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental schedule.

In forming our opinion on the information, we evaluated whether such information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2017 and 2016

NOTE 1 DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

The following description of the UBS Financial Services Incorporated of Puerto Rico Savings Plus Plan (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Summary Plan Description for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions and detailed definitions of several terms of the Plan.

General

The Plan, a defined contribution plan, covers employees of UBS Financial Services Incorporated of Puerto Rico (the Company or Plan sponsor) and any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, which have adopted the Plan, and are residents of and work in Puerto Rico. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of UBS Financial Services Inc. (UBS Financial Services), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of UBS Americas Inc., which, in turn, is a subsidiary of UBS Americas Holding LLC which is a wholly owned subsidiary of UBS Group AG (UBS). The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), as amended.

The Plan is administered by the Company’s Plan administrator (Head of Benefits Americas Region). Northern Trust (the Custodian) is the custodian of the assets and the UBS Trust Company of Puerto Rico (the Trustee) is the trustee.

Aon Hewitt is the Plan’s record-keeper and Mercer serves as the Plan’s investment advisor.

An employee is eligible to participate in the Plan on the first day of service performed for the Company.

The Plan is established under the laws of Puerto Rico and is subject to Puerto Rico’s contribution limits. All other features of the Plan are similar to those of the UBS 401(k) Plan.

The Plan invests in mutual funds, common collective trust funds, money market funds, the UBS Company Stock Fund (UBS Stock Fund) and short-term investments. In addition to these investment options, the Plan allows participants to maintain Self-Directed Brokerage Accounts.

Plan Amendments

The Plan was amended effective January 1, 2017 to include auto enrollment of 3% of eligible compensation. Participants have up to 90 days (from date of employment) to enroll in the plan or opt out and not contribute. If the participant does not opt out or enroll within 90 days of employment they will be automatically set up to contribute 3% of their eligible compensation via payroll deductions. The funds will be invested in the age appropriate Target Retirement Fund (the Plans Qualified Default Investment Alternative). In addition, the match formula was changed to $1 for $1 up to 6% of eligible contributions with an annual cap of $3,000 per participant.

Effective December 1, 2015 the Plan was amended and restated effective January 1, 2016 for the following:

• The Company’s Plan administrator (Head of Benefits Americas Region) has the authority to make any amendment to the Plan which (i) makes changes as required by applicable law; (ii) adopts technical or clarifying amendments; or (iii) does not in any significant respect increase benefits or cost to the Company

• To impose a 20% cap on the amount of employee and employer contributions that may be allocated to the Common Stock Fund (as defined in the Plan) and to impose a 20% cap on the amount of any reallocation/transfer that may be allocated to the Common Stock Fund (as defined in the Plan)

Administrative Expenses

The Plan’s administrative expenses are paid by the Plan or the Company, as provided by the Plan’s provisions. Administrative expenses that may be paid by the Plan include recordkeeping, trustee, legal, audit, and investment consulting. Administrative fees (recordkeeping fees) associated with Self-directed mutual fund window are paid by the plan participants that invest in the Self-directed window. Expenses relating to the Plan’s investments (investment management fees and commissions) are charged to the specific investment fund to which the expense relates. For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 the Plan administration fees (including fees associated with the self-directed window) were charged to participants’ accounts after one full calendar year of being a terminated employee, beneficiaries or alternate payees.

NOTE 1 DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (continued)

Participant Contributions

A participant’s contributions can consist of “pre-tax contributions,” which reduce the participant’s taxable compensation and “after-tax contributions,” which do not reduce a participant’s taxable compensation, and “rollovers,” which are transfers from other Puerto Rico tax-qualified retirement plans.

For each plan year, a participant is eligible to make pre-tax contributions through payroll deductions, up to 85% of his/her eligible compensation. The dollar amount of a participant’s contributions cannot exceed certain Plan limits and those imposed under the Internal Revenue Code for a New Puerto Rico (the Code). Eligible compensation is defined as 499-R-2/W-2 Puerto Rico earnings (subject to certain adjustments), not to exceed $270,000 for 2017. Pre-tax contributions are limited by the Code to $15,000 for 2017. Participants who have attained age 50 on or before December 31, 2016, were limited to pre-tax contributions of $16,500 for 2017. These limits are subject to change in future years to be consistent with limitations imposed by the Code.

Participants are also permitted to make after-tax contributions of up to 10% of their eligible compensation provided that the maximum combined rate of a participant’s pre- and after-tax contributions does not exceed 85% of his/her eligible compensation for 2017. After-tax contributions may be considered in determining the Company’s matching contribution.

Additionally, participants may make rollover contributions to the Plan, which are transfers from another Puerto Rico tax-qualified retirement plan. The amount rolled over will be credited to a participant’s account and will be treated similar to appreciation on pre-tax contributions for Plan accounting and Puerto Rico income tax purposes.

Company Contributions

Each year, the Company uses pre- and after-tax contributions in determining the amount of the Company’s matching contribution for each participant. For Plan years prior to January 1, 2017 the Company’s match is calculated by multiplying each participant’s pre-tax and after-tax contributions (up to 4% of eligible compensation) by 75%, and is limited to $3,000. For Plan Year beginning January 1, 2017 the Company Match is calculated by multiplying each participant's pre-tax, and after-tax contributions (up to 6% of eligible compensation) by 100% and, is limited on an annual basis, to $3,000. Company Match contributions are contributed on a payroll basis based on the participants contributions and year to date annual eligible retirement earnings.

Company match contributions and earnings are invested according to the participant’s investment elections in effect for Company contributions, which can be different or similar to their pre-tax and after-tax contribution elections. For plan year 2016, all participants regardless of their earnings were eligible to receive the Company match.

The Company also provides a retirement contribution (basic profit-sharing contribution) equal to a percentage of the participant’s eligible compensation based on the participant’s years of service with the Company as of the beginning of the plan year. The retirement contribution is invested according to the participant’s investment elections in effect for Company contributions, which can be different or similar to their pre- and after-tax contributions.

The Qualified Deferred Payment (QDP) feature is a supplemental profit-sharing contribution provided to participants who satisfy certain eligibility requirements. The contribution amount is based on a participant’s age at the beginning of the plan year. QDP contributions and earnings are invested according to the participant’s investment elections in effect for Company contributions, which can be different or similar to their pre- and after-tax contribution elections.

If a participant has not selected his or her investment elections, the Company Contributions are invested in the age-appropriate Vanguard Target Date Retirement Fund, the default investment option.

The determination of the Target Date Fund is based on the participant's year of birth.

Participant Accounts

Under the Plan, each participant has two accounts—an employee account (Employee Account) and a company account (Company Account). The Company Account is funded; per payroll for the Company Match, annually for the Company Retirement Contribution and, per specific payrolls for the QDP. The participant can change their investment elections for Company Contributions (Company Match, Company Retirement Contribution, and QDP) as well as their own contributions (pre-tax and After-tax) at any time. In addition they can make different investment elections for their Company Contributions, before-tax contributions, and after-tax contribution. The participant’s Employee Account reflects all of the participant’s contributions in addition to income, gains, losses, withdrawals, distributions, loans, and expenses attributable to these contributions.

NOTE 1 DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (continued)

Participant Accounts (continued)

The participant’s Company Account reflects his/her share of the Company’s contributions from the Company match, the Company retirement contribution, and the QDP for each plan year and income, gains, losses, withdrawals, distributions, and expenses attributable to these Company contributions.

Vesting

Participants are immediately vested in their Employee Account. A participant is fully vested in the Company match, retirement and QDP contributions and earnings thereon after attaining either three years of service, reaching age 65, becoming totally and permanently disabled, or upon death.

Forfeited Accounts

Forfeited balances of terminated participants’ unvested Company Accounts are used to reduce the Company’s contributions to the Plan. For the year ended December 31, 2017, total forfeitures of $0 were used to reduce the Company contributions. Unallocated forfeited balances as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 were $2,126 and $7,273 respectively.

Distributions and Withdrawals

After-tax contributions, including any income and loss thereon, may be withdrawn by participants at any time in accordance with the Plan’s provisions. Withdrawals of pre-tax contributions or vested Company contributions are permitted, subject to certain limitations as set forth in the Code. All withdrawals or a portion thereof are subject to taxation as set forth in the Code.

Upon termination of service, a participant may elect to receive a distribution of the vested portion of his/her account in a lump-sum amount or in installments over a period of up to 10 years. Distributions consist of common stock or cash from the UBS Stock Fund and cash from all other funds.

Notes Receivable from Participants

Notes receivable from participants represent participant loans which are permitted under the Plan. The minimum amount that may be borrowed is $1,000 and the maximum amount is limited to the lesser of 50% of the value of a participant’s vested account balance, or $50,000, reduced by the participant’s highest outstanding loan balance over the previous 12 months. The interest rates ranged from 5.25% to 10.25% for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

Loans are payable in equal installments, representing a combination of interest and principal by withholding from the participant’s paychecks. The outstanding principal amount of any loan can be repaid on any business day. In the event a participant has a loan outstanding under the Plan, various limitations exist on such participant’s right to receive additional loans under the Plan. If a loan is not repaid within 90 days, it will automatically be treated as a distribution to the participant.

Plan Termination

While the Company has not expressed any intent to terminate the Plan, it is free to do so at any time subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event the Plan is wholly or partially terminated, or upon the complete discontinuance of contributions under the Plan by any entity of the Company, each participant affected shall become fully vested in his/her Company Account. Any unallocated assets of the Plan then held by the Custodian shall be allocated among the appropriate Company Accounts and Employee Accounts of the participants and will be distributed in a manner determined by the Company.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Accounting

The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP).

Payments of Benefits

Benefits to participants are recorded when paid.

Notes Receivable from Participants

Notes receivable from participants represent participant loans that are recorded at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Interest income on loans receivable from participants is recorded when it is earned. Related fees are recorded as administrative expenses and are expensed when they are incurred. No allowance for credit losses has been recorded as of December 31, 2017 or 2016. If a participant does not make loan repayments for more than 90 days, the Plan administrator will deem the participant loan to be a distribution and the participant loan balance is reduced and a benefit payment is recorded.

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net appreciation/depreciation includes the Plan’s gains and losses on investments bought, sold and held during the year.

Investments held by the Trust are stated at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. (See Note 3 for a discussion of fair value measurement).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes and supplemental schedule. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

New Accounting Pronouncement

In February 2017, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-06, Plan Accounting: Defined Benefit Pension Plans (Topic 960), Defined Contribution Pension Plans (Topic 962), Health and Welfare Benefit Plans (Topic 965): Employee Benefit Plan Master Trust Reporting. ASU 2017-06 relates primarily to the reporting by an employee benefit plan for its interest in a master trust and is not applicable for the Plan.

NOTE 3 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT (continued)

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2017 and 2016.

Mutual funds: Funds that are actively traded on an exchange are priced at the net asset value (NAV) of shares held by the Plan at year end. Funds that are not actively traded on an exchange are priced at NAV using inputs that corroborate the NAV with observable (i.e., ongoing redemption and/or subscription activity) market-based data.

Common and collective trust funds: Funds that are actively traded on an exchange are priced at the NAV of shares held by the Plan at year end. Funds that are not actively traded on an exchange are priced at NAV using inputs that corroborate the NAV with observable (i.e., ongoing redemption and/or subscription activity) market-based data.

Money market funds: Records its corresponding value at $1 NAV. Investments are valued at amortized cost unless this would not represent fair value.

UBS Stock Fund: Actively traded securities are valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded.

Common Stock: Actively traded securities are valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded.

Self Directed Brokerage Accounts: Mutual funds and money market funds valued at the list price at NAV of shares held by the Plan at the valuation date.

The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not indicate net realizable value or reflect future fair values. Furthermore, while the Plan believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

There were no transfers between levels in 2017 and 2016.

At December 31, 2017, the investments held by the Plan within the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

	Investments at Fair Value as of December 31, 2017
	Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)	Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)	Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)	Total
Mutual funds	$20,152,351	—	—	$20,152,351
Self-directed brokerage accounts	14,435,887	—	—	14,435,887
UBS Stock Fund	2,717,454			2,717,454
Common Stock	953,832	—	—	953,832
	$38,259,524	$ —	$ —	$38,259,524
Investments measured at NAV:
Money market funds^(a)				$6,631,291
Total investments at fair value				$44,890,815

At December 31, 2016, the investments held by the Plan within the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

	Investments at Fair Value as of December 31, 2016
	Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)	Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)	Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)	Total
Mutual funds	$18,065,074	—	—	$18,065,074
Self-directed brokerage accounts	12,531,722	—	—	12,531,722
UBS Stock Fund	2,883,092	—	—	2,883,092
	$33,479,888	$ —	$ —	$33,479,888
Investments measured at NAV:
Money market funds^(a)				$7,505,755
Total investments at fair value				$40,985,643

NOTE 3 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT (continued)

a) Money market funds are designed to protect capital with low-risk investments and include cash, bank notes, corporate notes, government bills, and various short-term debt instruments.

NOTE 4 RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Plan invests in various investment instruments that are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits.

NOTE 5 RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Plan invests in the common stock of UBS Group AG. In addition, certain Plan investments are shares/units of mutual funds and short-term investments managed by the Custodian. These transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions; however, they are exempt from the prohibited transactions rules under ERISA. The Plan received a common stock dividend payment of $109,044 from UBS Group AG for 2017.

Certain officers and employees of the Plan’s sponsor (who may also be participants in the Plan) perform administrative services related to the Plan’s operation, record keeping and financial reporting. The Plan’s sponsor pays these individuals’ salaries and also pays certain other administrative expenses on the Plan’s behalf. The foregoing transactions are not deemed prohibited party-in-interest transactions, because they are covered by statutory and administrative exemptions from the Code and ERISA’s rules on prohibited transactions.

The UBS mutual funds’ investment advisor, administrator, and distributor is UBS Asset Management (Americas) LP, a wholly owned subsidiary of UBS Americas Inc. UBS AM earns management fees from the UBS AM Funds offered in the self-directed window which is offered in one of the core funds. These fees were paid by the participants.

NOTE 6 TAX STATUS

The Plan has received a favorable determination letter from the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico Department of Treasury (the Treasury) dated August 24, 2001, stating that the Plan is qualified under Sections 1165(a) and 1165(e) of the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code of 1994 (PRIRC-94) and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. The PRIRC-94 was replaced January 31, 2011, by the Internal Revenue Code for a New Puerto Rico (the Puerto Rico Code), and the retirement plan rules are now enacted as Puerto Rico Code Section 108.01. Subsequent to this determination by the Treasury, the Plan was amended and restated effective January 1, 2011, to include all separate and subsequent amendments (through 2013) and conform to the qualification requirements of the Puerto Rico Code. On April 10, 2014, UBS filed for qualified plan status approval with the Treasury. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Puerto Rico Code to maintain its qualification. On August 25, 2015, the Plan received a favorable determination letter from the Puerto Rico department of Treasury. Treasury confirmed in a letter dated February 26, 2018 that amendments to the Plan do not adversely affect the Plan’s qualified status.

The Plan administrator believes the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Puerto Rico Code and therefore believes that the Plan, as amended, is qualified and the related trust is tax-exempt. The Plan has not been qualified nor is intended to be qualified under Sections 401(a) or 401(k) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States require plan management to evaluate uncertain tax positions taken by the Plan. The financial statement effects of a tax position are recognized when the position is more-likely-than-not, based on the technical merits, to be sustained upon examination by the IRS. The Plan administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2017, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken. The Plan has recognized no interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.

Note 7 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management has evaluated its subsequent event disclosure through the date the Plan's financial statements are available to be issued.

The Plan was amended with respect to Before-Tax Contributions and After-Tax Contributions made on or after January 1, 2018, Matching Contributions will be limited as follows (regardless of the level of Company or Affiliated Employer profit in the applicable Plan Year) for any Participant who is eligible for Matching Contributions in the applicable Plan Year: (i) for the Plan Year ending December 31, 2018, Matching Contributions will be limited to $4,500; (ii) for the Plan Year ending December 31, 2019, Matching Contributions will be limited to $5,850; and (iii) for the Plan Year ending December 31, 2020, and each Plan Year thereafter, Matching Contributions will be limited to $8,000. In addition, Matching Contributions for any such Participant with respect to a Plan Year shall not exceed 100% of such Participant’s Before-Tax Contributions and After-Tax Contributions up to 6% of Compensation.”

In addition, effective with respect to Compensation paid in Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2018, each individual who is eligible for a Retirement Contribution under Section 5.4 for a Plan Year shall receive a Retirement Contribution for each applicable Plan Year in accordance with the following applicable schedule, based upon the individual’s Compensation paid solely during the portion of the Plan Year in which such individual was an Eligible Employee (both for purposes of determining whether the Eligible Employee has Compensation greater than $200,000 in the Plan Year, and the percentage of Compensation to be contributed on his behalf) and the individual’s attained Period of Service as of the first day of the applicable Plan Year:

SCHEDULE A: ELIGIBLE PARTICIPANTS WITH COMPENSATION NO MORE THAN $200,000 IN PLAN YEAR
Number of Years in the Period of Service As of the First Day of the Plan Year		Percentage of Compensation to be Contributed as Retirement Contribution
Less than 10		2.0
10, but less than 15		3.0
15 or more		3.5

SCHEDULE B: ELIGIBLE PARTICIPANTS WITH COMPENSATION GREATER THAN $200,000 IN PLAN YEAR
Number of Years in the Period of Service As of the First Day of the Plan Year	Percentage of Compensation to be Contributed as Retirement Contribution in 2018 Plan Year	Percentage of Compensation to be Contributed as Retirement Contribution in 2019 Plan Year	Percentage of Compensation to be Contributed as Retirement Contribution in 2020 Plan Year and thereafter
Less than 10	2.0	2.0	2.0
