First quarter 2017 results

28 April 2017

Speeches by Sergio P. Ermotti, Group Chief Executive Officer and Kirt Gardner, Group Chief Financial Officer

Numbers for slides refer to the first quarter 2017 results presentation.

Sergio P. Ermotti

Slide 2 – 1Q17 net profit up 79% to 1.3bn

Thank you Caroline, and good morning everyone.

We started 2017 on a high note, with 1.3 billion in net profit, an adjusted return on tangible equity of almost 13%, and profit before tax up in all business divisions. We also saw further improvement in our strong capital ratios.

Client activity levels in wealth management were the highest we've seen for some time, and this helped our global wealth management business to deliver pre-tax profits of 1.1 billion, up 19% from the first quarter of last year, and one of the strongest results since the crisis.

Personal & Corporate Banking had a strong quarter, and generated its best annualized net new business volume growth, and first quarter net new client acquisition, in ten years, underlining our leading position in a mature market.

Asset Management had a solid quarter, with profits up 12%, and very strong net new money, primarily in indexed equities, highlighting our competitiveness in the passive space.

The Investment Bank had a very strong quarter and delivered a very high 24% return on attributed equity, even though market conditions were sub-optimal in certain areas.

Slide 3 – Global WM – Superior, sustainable profit growth

UBS is the world's largest and only truly global wealth manager, with 2.2 trillion in invested assets. We've grown invested assets by almost half-a-trillion francs in 4 years, with around 40% of the increase from net new money. But most importantly, over the past 4 years, we've grown profit before tax by 8% per annum, despite significant headwinds from low interest rates, low client activity levels and the effects of over 50 billion in cross-border outflows.

Our focus on lending and mandates has helped to drive higher quality recurring revenues, which constitute 80% of total operating income.

Our number one objective for global wealth management – and for all of our businesses - is to grow profitably and sustainably over the cycle. That’s why we’ve said many times that gross margin and net new money, while important, aren’t the critical measures of our success on a quarter to quarter basis. And here's the proof: in the face of a 9 basis point reduction in gross margin over the past 4 years, we've grown net margin by 1 basis point.

At the same time, we have improved our cost income ratio from 78% to 75%, a testament to the success of our actions on revenues and costs.

Slide 4 – The only truly global wealth manager

There are four key features that differentiate UBS from its peers, and I believe these factors will continue to drive and define our long-term success.

First, UBS is the only truly global wealth manager. We are a leader in the largest market – the Americas – and we are a dominant player in every other region.

Slide 5 – Global WM unique and diversified footprint

We have a unique, globally diversified footprint. And we benefit not only from scale, with over 1 trillion francs in invested assets in the US and over 1 trillion in the rest of the world, but also, increasingly, from the synergies we derive from managing our total invested asset base of over 2.2 trillion collaboratively, creating further benefits for our clients and shareholders. Being global today is critical for clients, especially the wealthiest, as we can provide a uniquely global perspective, offer genuine diversification of assets, and operate global booking capabilities.

31

Slide 6 – Global UHNW – Fueling growth

The second key differentiator is our dominance in the Ultra-High Net Worth segment.

UBS is the world's largest wealth manager for UHNW clients globally, with 1 trillion francs in assets.

Over the past 4 years, we have grown these assets by 12% per annum, and today, they comprise almost half of our invested assets.

Ultra clients have also driven approximately 70% of the growth in our combined wealth management profits over the last four years.

As a scale player, this business has very attractive economics. Its cost-income ratio is lower than other client segments, and net margins are attractive.

Industry estimates suggest that the segment will grow at 10% per annum over the next three years, the fastest of any segment, and a source of sustainable growth for our business.

That said, the high net worth and high-end affluent segments are also important, particularly in regions where the creation of new millionaires is exponential. We are working on a number of new channels to attract these clients in a cost-efficient way, leveraging our global brand, technology and investment expertise.

32

Slide 7 – APAC – Fueling growth

The third critical differentiator of our business today, but also in the future, is our leading franchise in APAC.

In a region where scale matters, UBS is the largest wealth manager with over 300 billion in invested assets, almost a third larger than our nearest competitor.

We have grown invested assets at 10% per annum for the past 4 years, more than the entire invested asset base of our 4th largest competitor.

Scale and longevity set us apart from our peers, contributing to 21% in profit growth, per annum, over four years, double the rate of invested asset growth, highlighting the business's operating leverage.

Within the region, our business is well-diversified between on and offshore, with a unique presence in China. It is also dominated by ultra-high net worth clients, who contribute almost 80% of our invested assets. This means we have exposure to both cyclical economic growth trends and the rapid growth of wealthy clients in the region.

We have operated in the region for over 50 years – in good and bad times, and often for decades longer than our peers – a commitment which is important to our clients and stakeholders in the region.

APAC is not a business where success can be measured in quarters or even years; it’s a business we are building for the next generation and our progress here is unlikely to be linear.

Today in China, there are around 1 million millionaires. Even with GDP growth at a conservative 5%, the size of the Chinese economy will double in the next 15 years. This means that the number of millionaires and billionaires will grow, making the Chinese market even more attractive. Of course, we will not grow by trying to compete with local players in local products. Our aim is to provide global expertise in investments and wealth planning to private and institutional investors, which should benefit not only our Wealth Management business, but also the Investment Bank and Asset Management. We're already in the best starting position, and will continue to invest. Succeeding in this market is a key and critical objective, and one that will provide compelling growth going forward, but, like the rest of APAC, it's a journey that we see more as a marathon than a sprint.

Slide 8 – Strong, profitable IB key to Global WM success

The strength and focus of our Investment Bank is the fourth critical ingredient for the success of our global wealth management business. Our scale, leading position in APAC, and dominance in ultra-high net worth means that we could not succeed without a strong and successful Investment Bank.

The IB continues to be world-class in the areas where we have chosen to compete. And it’s the quality of our capabilities – in research, FX, Equities, and advisory - which are most important to sophisticated wealth management clients. The strength of our Investment Bank's institutional and corporate client franchise, and its track record of strong and sustainable performance, are critical requirements to serve our wealth management clients.

33

Slide 9 – UBS Global Wealth Management

So to close on wealth management. We have a unique global business, successful in the world's largest and fastest growing regions, and dominant in the UHNW space, working with a world class Investment Bank.

Cyclical growth trends should support our long-term success, but more importantly our track record of delivering attractive growth while transforming our businesses gives me great confidence in the future.

Thank you, and now Kirt will take you through our quarterly results.

34

Kirt Gardner

Thank you, Sergio. Good morning everyone.

Slide 10 – UBS Group AG results (consolidated)

For the first quarter, our results were adjusted for 244 million francs in net restructuring expenses.

My comments and the slides will compare year-on-year and reference adjusted results unless otherwise stated.

Slide 11 – Global WM performance

Global wealth management had an excellent quarter with PBT up 19%. We delivered 4% positive operating leverage, as income growth outpaced expenses. Net margin was up 2 basis points and we improved our cost/income ratio by 3 percentage points. Our results demonstrate the value of our global franchise, the inherent leverage in our model, and the execution of our strategic priorities.

Revenues increased by 5% to almost 4 billion, driven by improvements in all income lines. Transaction-based revenues increased by 15%, reflecting higher client activity, notably in Asia where we saw a 32% increase, as clients became more positive after 6 quarters of risk aversion. The US was the second-biggest driver with transaction revenues up 10%, reflecting more positive market conditions and the higher degree of optimism generated by the election.

Net interest income benefited from higher short-term dollar rates and year-on-year increase in loans and deposits, partly offset by increased funding costs, reflecting the changes in equity attribution and continued build-up of TLAC instruments.

Invested asset and mandate growth were the key drivers of recurring fee income, offsetting the cumulative impact of cross-border outflows, the shift to retro-free products, and client moves into passive and less risky investments.

Costs increased by just under 40 million, compared to revenues up over 200 million. The cost increase was driven by higher FA compensation, mostly offset by lower allocated costs and actions taken by our Wealth Management business last year.

We see net margin and efficiency, as well as growth in invested assets, loans, and mandates as the key drivers of our earnings. All of these metrics have had a positive year-on-year trajectory, reflecting our strategic execution, and the power of our global diversified franchise, with some offset from market performance and client activity levels, which differed across regions. Efficiency improved 3 percentage points to 74% and net margin increased by 2 basis points to 20, despite a reduction in gross margin. Invested assets increased 13%, or 244 billion, from the prior year, the equivalent of acquiring a medium-sized competitor. Over 85% of the growth came from market, interest, dividends, and FX factors. Mandate penetration improved by 100 basis points with assets under mandate increasing by just under 100 billion. And loans grew by almost 7 billion, driven by WMA during 2016, with loan growth turning positive in Wealth Management during Q1.

Net new money was over 20 billion, almost 19 billion of which was in Wealth Management, with net inflows in all regions, but particularly strong in Europe. This quarter included 1.4 billion of cross-border outflows, and as previously guided, we expect this year's cross-border outflows to be roughly in line with 2016, with a typical peak in the fourth quarter, and a substantial reduction thereafter.

35

Last year, we introduced a new operating model in WMA, and we now focus more on increasing retention and productivity, and are de-emphasizing recruiting. As a consequence, overall net new money was lower, but we're pleased with the significant increase in same store contribution. Next quarter, we expect to see seasonal outflows related to tax payments in the US, which were 3 to 4 billion in each of the last two years.

As we've said in the past, profitable growth over the longer term is more important to us than quarterly net new money trends. As an example, we've recently announced the introduction of fees charged for concentrations in euro deposits in Wealth Management, while other direct competitors continue to pay for these deposits. This and other measures to improve profitability will lead to outflows of low margin and unprofitable assets, which over time will benefit our results.

Slide 12 – Personal & Corporate Banking

Personal and Corporate's PBT of 437 million increased by 4%, despite increasing net interest income headwinds.

Operating income decreased on lower NII, driven by higher allocations of TLAC-related costs, mostly as a result of our new equity attribution framework, and the impact of negative rates. Increases in corporate finance fees and fees paid by Wealth Management for client shifts and referrals helped boost transaction income. We also had a one-time gain of 20 million in other income on the sale of a real estate loan portfolio.

Operating expenses decreased by 4% to 521 million, partly due to seasonally lower allocations from Corporate Center.

Our personal banking business reported a new record for annualized net new business volume growth of 6.7%, reflecting higher net new loans, and seasonal client asset inflows.

Last quarter, we provided some guidance on net interest income drivers. As a reminder, and compared with 2016, we anticipate a full-year drag of roughly 160 million based on implied negative forward rates and from higher TLAC funding costs. As a result, first-quarter NII was close to 40 million lower year-on-year.

In the current interest rate environment, and even factoring in effective management actions, we expect profits in our Swiss business to decrease from current levels. Therefore, in the short to medium term, we expect P&C's average quarterly PBT to be in the region of 350 million.

Slide 13 – Personal & Corporate Banking

Our mobile and e-banking platforms are award-winning and market-leading in Switzerland. Our clients highly value these services, as is evident in stronger client satisfaction, greater loyalty and increased business volume growth among active customers. Financially speaking, these clients tend to also be more attractive for us.

We continue to invest in our digital platforms to maintain our leading position and further improve our value proposition. Considering the relatively low digital banking penetration in Switzerland compared to many other markets, and given the trends we observe, we believe that this is an important growth opportunity for our business.

36

Slide 14 – Asset Management

In the asset management industry, the trend from active to passive investing accelerated, and we expect these structural changes to continue. In spite of this, AM generated 123 million in PBT, up 12%, with operating expenses 9% lower, driven by actions taken during 2016.

In addition, we had nearly 20 billion of net new money excluding money market flows, mostly in indexed equities. Our ability to capture flows like this underlines our credibility in the passive space, which represents over a third of our AuM. At 236 billion, this makes us a top-10 player globally and the #4 ETF player in Europe, and we have a substantial platform and world-class capabilities to build on. We continue to add resources to capture demand, particularly in fast-growing areas such as alternative indices, which should help us to mitigate industry headwinds.

Slide 15 – Investment Bank

The Investment Bank posted very strong PBT of 558 million, up 51% year-on-year, with over 24% return on attributed equity.

The top line improved 12% to 2.1 billion, driven by a recovery in CCS compared with a difficult first quarter in 2016. CCS performance benefited from improved activity levels, as well as targeted investments we made in the US last year.

ICS revenues decreased marginally against a backdrop of substantially lower volatility and uneven client activity across asset classes. Equities revenues increased 2%, or 5% excluding the TLAC funding cost increase. Prime brokerage had its best first-quarter performance in 5 years, while Cash was down, reflecting particularly low volatility levels.

FRC was down marginally from a strong Q1 2016, as unusually low volatility levels impacted our FX Flow and Options businesses. Together, FX and Rates dominate our FRC revenue mix, and this combined Macro segment was down overall. Market conditions were particularly favorable to Credit, where revenues increased over 60% year-on-year, but consistent with our strategy, our footprint is much smaller in this space.

Costs excluding variable compensation accruals were down 8% year-on-year, reflecting actions taken early in 2016. While we remain disciplined on costs, we're making strategic investments; for example, in our Research business, Evidence Lab is central to how we distinguish ourselves from competitors, as also reflected in our global ranking improvement from #6 in Institutional Investor to #2 in the last two years as we've built up this offering.

Our PBT performance and disciplined resource management drove a strong 24% return on attributed equity under our new allocation framework. Just for reference, under the old framework, this would have been over 30%.

37

Slide 16 – Corporate Center

The Corporate Center loss before tax was 234 million.

Corporate Center – Services costs before allocations were down, reflecting our cost reduction program. Personnel costs excluding variable compensation were down 4%.

Group ALM's profit before tax was 63 million, mostly due to gains on accounting asymmetries related to economic hedges. Total risk management net income after allocations was positive 42 million this quarter, compared with our guidance of around negative 50 million per quarter. This was driven by tightening of the spreads on a portfolio of hedged government bonds, which generated 80 million of mark-to-market gains. These gains are likely to unwind over the coming quarters.

Non-core and Legacy Portfolio posted a loss of 91 million, its lowest loss since inception, mainly due to lower expenses for litigation provisions. LRD was down 3 billion QoQ to below 20 billion, mostly as a result of unwind activity, maturing trades and market moves.

The P&L drag from Corporate Center was comparatively lower this quarter, but we do not see this as a reliable indication of future performance in the short to medium term, given the profit in Group ALM and lower losses in NCL.

Slide 17 – Cost reduction

During the quarter, we increased our net cost reduction run-rate to 1.7 billion, as a result of both Corporate Center and business division cost reductions. We remain confident that we'll achieve the full 2.1 billion by year-end. As we complete our cost program, we expect restructuring costs to be around 1 billion for the remainder of this year, and then to taper in 2018.

Slide 18 – Higher funding cost allocations to business divisions

As discussed last quarter, we modified our equity attribution framework to reflect regulatory changes. We now allocate the equity directly associated with activity that Group ALM manages on behalf of the business divisions. This, together with other changes, translated into a 55% increase in total equity attributed to business divisions. Together with our TLAC requirements under the Swiss capital regime, which are among the highest globally, this implies a total TLAC allocation to our business divisions that equates to ratios well above 30% of their RWA and around 8% of their LRD. For example, the IB has implied TLAC of nearly 22 billion.

We expect to see a net reduction in Net interest income allocated to the business divisions of around 350 million in 2017 versus 2016, principally affecting P&C, WM, and the IB. The increase of 50 million compared to the headwinds described in our previous guidance reflects a more comprehensive view of all our liquidity and funding economics, not just TLAC funding costs, the investment of equity, and the impact of implied forwards.

38

Slide 19 – Capital and leverage ratios (fully applied)

Our capital position remains strong, with a fully applied CET1 capital ratio of 14.1% and CET1 leverage ratio of 3.55%.

We continued to make progress towards achieving our fully applied total leverage ratio well in advance of the 2020 deadline. We issued 6.8 billion in TLAC-eligible bonds during Q1, improving our TLAC leverage ratio to 8.4%. With this, our total loss-absorbing capacity increased to 74 billion, or nearly 11% of our non-HQLA LRD.

I will now pass back to Sergio for closing statements.

Closing remarks

Thank you Kirt.

In closing I would like to say a few words on the shorter-term outlook. We’ve clearly seen improved investor sentiment in the first quarter, particularly in the US, but this hasn’t yet translated into a sustained increase in activity levels globally, and may not, given macro and geopolitical uncertainties. Net interest income continues to face headwinds, from low and negative interest rates in Europe and from rising funding costs. But as we saw this quarter, we are well positioned to mitigate these effects, as only a small improvement in market conditions will support continued sustainable profit growth.

That’s why, as the world's only global wealth manager, we're positive about the future. Our world class Investment Bank is a perfect complement. We are the undisputed market leader in Switzerland and our Asset Management business is taking the necessary steps to adapt to an industry experiencing rapid change. These businesses are working together to benefit both our clients and our shareholders. Finally, it goes without saying that we remain committed to our strategy and our returns policy, while continuing to build capital organically.

Thank you for your attention and we can now open for questions.

(xiv) UBS’s ability to implement new technologies and business methods, including digital services and technologies and ability to successfully compete with both existing and new financial service providers, some of which may not be regulated to the same extent; (xv) limitations on the effectiveness of UBS’s internal processes for risk management, risk control, measurement and modeling, and of financial models generally; (xvi) the occurrence of operational failures, such as fraud, misconduct, unauthorized trading, financial crime, cyberattacks, and systems failures; (xvii) restrictions on the ability of UBS Group AG to make payments or distributions, including due to restrictions on the ability of its subsidiaries to make loans or distributions, directly or indirectly, or, in the case of financial difficulties, due to the exercise by FINMA or the regulators of UBS’s operations in other countries of their broad statutory powers in relation to protective measures, restructuring and liquidation proceedings; (xviii) the degree to which changes in regulation, capital or legal structure, financial results or other factors, including methodology, assumptions and stress scenarios, may affect UBS’s ability to maintain its stated capital return objective;
