Zurich, October 21, 2010 Credit Suisse Group reported net income of CHF 609 million in 3Q10 compared to CHF 1,593 million in 2Q10. Core net revenues were CHF 6,284 million in 3Q10 compared to CHF 8,420 million in 2Q10. Underlying net income was CHF 960 million. The return on equity was 7.0% in 3Q10 with the underlying return on equity at 11.2%. Diluted earnings per share were CHF 0.48. The tier 1 ratio was 16.7% as of the end of 3Q10.
Brady W. Dougan, Chief Executive Officer, said: “Delivering underlying net income of one billion Swiss francs was a solid result in a quarter characterized by challenging conditions with low market volumes and subdued client activity. We are continuing to make disciplined investments in client-focused, capital- efficient, high-return businesses. These investments have expanded our market share in the targeted businesses and are producing strong net new assets. Our strategy had already anticipated the impact of tighter regulation, both in Investment Banking, where we have exited less capital-efficient businesses, and in Private Banking, where we have continued to build our global on and off-shore presence. We have built a business model, global platform and a strong market position which will enable us to deliver high returns and generate stro ng cash flow as markets improve.”
He added: “We saw an encouraging performance in Private Banking, which continued to attract strong net new assets with a particularly strong performance from Asia Pacific, where we saw annualized growth of over 20%. This underscores the trust clients have in Credit Suisse. Revenues have remained relatively subdued and this business is near a cyclical low characterized by the low interest rate environment and further impacted by low levels of client activity. However, we believe the prospects for growth remain very attractive and our Private Bank is poised to capitalize as markets improve thanks to our disciplined investment in our global platform. In Switzerland, our Corporate & Institutional Clients business, which is an important provider of financing and services to the Swiss economy, achieved another strong result and maintained a str ong pre-tax profit margin.”
With regard to Investment Banking, he said: “We are encouraged by our continued momentum in gaining market share. Fixed income and our underwriting and advisory businesses achieved a solid performance reflecting our improving competitive position. In equities the performance of our client-focused business was in line with industry volume. Equities has also shown lower overall revenue volatility year to date than the industry, underscoring our continued strong client-focused market positions.”
On the performance of Asset Management, he said “We are pleased with the strategic progress, the solid result and the strong net asset inflows. The announced acquisition of a noncontrolling interest in York Capital Management is an important next step in the continuing implementation of a strategy focused on high margin, capital-efficient businesses capable of leveraging our global platform.”
He concluded: “Our results for the first nine months, with a return on equity of 15.9%, underscore that our business model is able to produce strong returns over the cycle. We anticipated much of the regulatory change, both in terms of capital requirements and the new cross-border regime. This means that we are well placed to meet these new requirements and at the same time compete and deliver attractive returns to our shareholders.”

Segment Results
Private Banking
Private Banking, which comprises the Wealth Management Clients and Corporate & Institutional Clients businesses, reported income before taxes of CHF 836 million in 3Q10. This included non-credit related provisions from auction rate securities (ARS) of CHF 44 million. While this was a solid result in view of the subdued 3Q10 market environment, characterized by a seasonal slowdown, it was 4% below the 2Q10 level. This reflected a 6% decline in net revenues to CHF 2,826 million, mainly due to lower brokerage fees, while total operating expenses decreased 5%.
The Wealth Management Clients business reported income before taxes of CHF 612 million in 3Q10, down 3% from 2Q10. Net revenues were 5% lower than in 2Q10. Recurring revenues were down 4% reflecting a decrease in net interest income and lower recurring commissions and fees. Transaction-based revenues declined 9%, mainly related to significantly lower brokerage fees and foreign exchange income from client transactions, reflecting the seasonal slowdown and particularly low client activity. The gross margin was 118 basis points, down 2 basis points from 2Q10, reflecting mainly the decrease in net revenues and the 3.4% lower average assets under management. Despite the non-credit related provisions from ARS, operating expenses decreased 5% from reductions across most expense ca tegories, including IT costs and seasonally lower marketing and sales expenses as a major driver.
The Corporate & Institutional Clients business, which is an important provider of financing and services to the Swiss economy, reported income before taxes of CHF 224 million in 3Q10, down 7% from 2Q10. Net revenues declined 7% compared to 2Q10 reflecting a 5% decline in net interest income and 12% lower non-interest income. The decrease in net interest income mainly reflected lower loan margins on slightly lower average volumes and slightly lower deposit margins on stable average volumes. Non-interest income declined to CHF 153 million as fair value losses related to Clock Finance, a synthetic collateralized loan portfolio, totaled CHF 21 million compared to losses of CHF 1 million in 2Q10 . Excluding Clock Finance losses, underlying non-interest income remained stable. Despite the higher number of corporate insolvencies in Switzerland, further net releases of provision for credit losses of CHF 16 million were booked in 3Q10 after releases of CHF 13 million in 2Q10.

Investment Banking
Investment Banking reported income before taxes of CHF 395 million in 3Q10, down 50% compared to 2Q10, as the business was impacted by a decline in client volumes that was exacerbated by a seasonal slowdown. Net revenues of CHF 3,421 million were underpinned by solid fixed income sales and trading as well as underwriting and advisory business despite the challenging market conditions, with market share momentum maintained across most products. Compared to 2Q10, net revenues declined 17%, reflecting a particularly weak July, normal summer seasonality in August and some improvement in September. Investment Banking’s results reflected net fair value losses on Credit Suisse debt of CHF 57 million in 3Q10, compared to CHF 62 million in 2Q10. The results were also impacted by debt valuation adjustment (DVA) losses of CHF 172 million in 3Q10 comp ared to DVA gains of CHF 121 million in 2Q10, relating to structured note liabilities. The pre-tax income margin was 11.5% compared to 19.1% in 2Q10. The pre-tax return on average utilized economic capital was 8.5% in 3Q10, compared to 15.8% in 2Q10.
Fixed income sales and trading results were higher than in the prior quarter, driven by strong revenues in US residential mortgage backed securities (RMBS) trading and credit businesses with solid results in global rates and emerging markets. Equity sales and trading results reflected our client-focused business model which saw continued momentum in market share and was impacted by lower client volume. Underwriting and advisory results were solid and in line with industry-wide capital issuance levels and M&A activity. Debt underwriting revenues were strong, driven by higher industry-wide issuance levels, particularly in high yield while revenues in the equity underwriting and advisory businesses reflected continued weakness in equity issuance levels and completed M&A volumes compared to historical levels.
Compensation and benefits of CHF 1,872 million in 3Q10 were lower than 2Q10, primarily reflecting the foreign exchange translation impact. In US dollars, compensation and benefits increased slightly compared to 2Q10, reflecting a small increase in performance-related compensation and benefits largely offset by a decrease in social security taxes on share award deliveries. Total other operating expenses decreased 9% from 2Q10, primarily reflecting the foreign currency translation impact, a slight decrease in commission expenses and a decrease in general and administrative expenses across most expense categories.
Risk-weighted assets of USD 151 billion as of the end of 3Q10 rose from USD 142 billion in 2Q10, primarily related to higher lending commitments in leveraged finance and corporate banking, the foreign exchange translation impact on the operational risk component and increase in other client-related risk-weighted asset usage. Average one-day, 99% Value at Risk was CHF 118 million in 3Q10, compared to CHF 117 million in 2Q10.
Asset Management
Asset Management reported income before taxes of CHF 135 million in 3Q10 compared to CHF 22 million in 2Q10, with net revenues of CHF 582 million compared to CHF 502 million in 2Q10, primarily reflecting higher investment-related gains and increased fee-based revenues partially offset by lower income from equity participations and 2Q10 gains of CHF 36 million from the sale of securities purchased from Credit Suisse money market funds. Net revenues before investment-related gains and securities purchased from Credit Suisse money market funds were up 2%. The increase in fee-based revenues was driven by higher performance fees and carried interest, partially offset by lower asset management and placement, transaction and other fees.

Income from equity participations declined, reflecting a loss from the reduction in our ownership interest in Aberdeen to 21.0% from 21.9% due to an issuance of shares by Aberdeen. Total operating expenses were down 7% reflecting a decrease in compensation and benefits and lower commission expenses.
In 3Q10, Asset Management agreed to acquire a significant noncontrolling interest in York Capital Management (York), a leading global event-driven hedge fund manager, with the transaction expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2010. In addition, Asset Management expects to enter into arrangements to provide distribution services to York funds on a non-exclusive basis. The acquisition was part of the implementation of Credit Suisse’s strategy to focus on higher margin, capital-efficient businesses able to leverage our global platform.

Net New Assets
Private Banking recorded strong net new assets of CHF 12.6 billion in 3Q10. Wealth Management Clients contributed net new assets of CHF 12.4 billion benefiting from substantial inflows in the international businesses, including strong contributions from emerging markets. The annualized quarterly growth rate in net new assets in Wealth Management Clients was 6.2% in 3Q10. Corporate & Institutional Clients acquired net new assets of CHF 0.2 billion.
Asset Management reported net new assets of CHF 3.6 billion including net inflows of CHF 5.2 billion in alternative investments, primarily in real estate & commodities, emerging markets, exchange traded funds (ETFs) and index strategies, and outflows of CHF 1.5 billion in traditional investments, as outflows in the Swiss advisory business and fixed income & equities were partially offset by inflows in multi-asset class solutions.
The Group’s total assets under management were CHF 1,251.2 billion as of the end of 3Q10, up 0.7% from the end of 2Q10, primarily reflecting positive market performance and net new assets in Private Banking and Asset Management, partially offset by adverse foreign exchange-related movements.
