Dear shareholders |
For the second quarter 2012, we reported pre-tax income of CHF 1.1 billion, net income attributable to shareholders of CHF 0.8 billion and return on equity of 9%, evidencing the resilience of our business model. We achieved our year-end 2013 cost-savings target of CHF 2.0 billion 18 months early and have increased the target by an additional CHF 1.0 billion by the end of 2013. Together with our results, we also announced that we are increasing our capital by CHF 15.3 billion through a set of targeted capital measures. These measures will significantly strengthen the Group’s capital base in preparation for the Basel III regulatory framework. Through these measures, we expect to raise our year-end 2012 Look-through Swiss Core Capital Ratio to 9.4%*, compared to the year-end 2018 Swiss requirement of 10%. Even with this significantly strengthened capital base, we are reconfirming our previously announced return on equity target of 15% or above over the cycle. |
Our performance in the second quarter and the first half of 2012 |
Our result for the second quarter underscores the positive impact of the changes we have made to adapt to the new environment. The first quarter showed that we can produce high returns despite moderate markets, and the second quarter provides evidence that our approach is resilient under more challenging conditions. Improved profitability in Private Banking, resilient results in Investment Banking and solid results in Asset Management demonstrate the balance and strength of the evolved business model. |
In Private Banking, we reported net revenues of CHF 2,704 million, down CHF 50 million from the second quarter of 2011, reflecting low client activity and low transaction volumes. Wealth Management Clients reported net new assets of CHF 8.9 billion, driven by inflows mainly from its ultra-high-net-worth individual client segment and from emerging markets, before the impact of outflows of CHF 3.4 billion relating to the integration of Clariden Leu. The integration of Clariden Leu is now substantially complete, with a pre-tax income benefit to the Group of CHF 125 million to be realized in 2013. |
In Investment Banking, we reported net revenues of CHF 2,909 million, up from CHF 2,817 million in the second quarter of 2011. During the second quarter of 2012, we made significant progress in executing our refined strategy, resulting in a more consistent performance and continued market share momentum. Investment Banking further reduced Basel III risk-weighted assets by USD 4 billion to USD 206 billion during the quarter. |
In Asset Management, we had net revenues of CHF 550 million, down from CHF 654 million in the second quarter of 2011. A partial sale of our investment in Aberdeen Asset Management was completed, leading to a gain of CHF 66 million in the second quarter of 2012. In July 2012, we completed the sale of our residual stake in Aberdeen for a gain of approximately CHF 140 million, which will be recognized in the third quarter. |
For the first half of 2012, we reported normalized** net income attributable to shareholders of CHF 2.1 billion with a normalized** after-tax return on equity of 12%. Both the second quarter and the first half performance demonstrate that our business model is working and delivering good results, even under challenging conditions. |
Good progress on cost savings and risk reduction |
Expense reductions and capital discipline also help us ensure the effectiveness of our model going forward. In the first half of 2012, we achieved our CHF 2.0 billion cost reduction target 18 months early, and we have further increased the year-end 2013 target to CHF 3.0 billion. Roughly half of the additional CHF 1.0 billion in cost savings will come from the Shared Services functions. Our significantly reduced cost base provides us with considerable operating flexibility. |
The progress we have made towards full Basel III compliance – including the reduction of CHF 65 billion in risk-weighted assets from the third quarter of 2011 – positions us favorably in the industry’s inevitable transition to the new environment. This allows us to serve our clients consistently and helps us to generate more stable returns. |
Capital measures to solidify our position as one of the stronger capitalized and funded global banks |
Capital strength is of paramount importance to the Group. Given the current environment, we decided to accelerate the implementation of our capital plans in a manner, which fully addresses any questions raised by the Swiss National Bank’s (SNB) 2012 Financial Stability Report. |
A Look-through Swiss Core Capital Ratio of 9.4%* by the end of this year, along with our leading total capital and funding structure, confirms our place among the stronger banks globally. |
Even before the capital measures we have announced, we were well in excess of the capital requirements by the Swiss regulator, FINMA, with a Basel II.5 tier 1 capital ratio of 16.5%. Our FINMA leverage ratio stood at 4.7% as of the end of the second quarter. |
Using a methodology broadly comparable to that used in the SNB Financial Stability Report, we expect that our Look-through Swiss Total Capital Ratio will immediately move to 8.5%* and to 10.8*% by year-end, almost double the 5.9% as of the end of the first quarter, as stated in the SNB report. |
The capital measures include the issuance of CHF 3.8 billion mandatory and contingent convertible securities. Among the strategic investors that have fully underwritten this issuance are some of our existing long-term shareholders, who are extremely important to our broad and well diversified shareholder base, as well as some new high quality investors. Their vote of confidence in our strategy, the Group and this transaction is a very significant statement. |
The set of measures we announced to further build our common equity is robust and well-balanced. Close to 80% of the measures are non- dilutive to the ownership of existing shareholders subscribing for their rights to the mandatory and contingent convertible securities. Over the years and prior to these measures, our shareholders have incurred minimal dilution. While the Group is strongly capitalized under the existing Swiss regulations, the announced measures accelerate our transition to the new Basel III regulatory requirements. We continue to believe that our business model will generate a best-in-class return on equity, at or above 15% over the cycle, even with the significant strengthening of our capital base due to our cost-saving initiatives. With a business that has demonstrated resilience in a changing economic climate, we are confident that Credit Suisse will further enhance its ability to best serve our clients and provide industry leading returns to our shareholders. |
Sincerely |
Urs Rohner Brady W. Dougan |

* The definitions for regulatory capital and respective ratios used refer to the regulations under the Swiss too-big-to-fail regime as determined by FINMA. Ratio calculations based on these capital definitions use projected Basel III year-end 2012 risk-weighted assets. The expected year-end 2012 ratios are based on a pro-forma calculation assuming successful completion of the announced capital actions and using Bloomberg consensus earnings estimates and Credit Suisse Basel III risk-weighted assets estimates. As Basel III will not be implemented before January 1, 2013, our Basel III risk-weighted assets were calculated for purposes of this release in accordance with the currently proposed requirements and our current interpretation of such requirements, including relevant assumptions. Changes in the requirements upon implementation of Basel III would result in different numbers from those used in the release. |
**Normalized results are non-GAAP financial measures. The table includes a reconciliation of the measures mentioned above. |

Operating environment |
Global economic development was strained in 2Q12. The US reported a modest increase in GDP, with growth mixed in Europe and slowing in China. Central banks continued to maintain loose monetary policies. European leaders agreed on further measures to address eurozone issues. Equity markets were mixed and generally closed lower. Major currencies, including the Swiss Franc, weakened against the US dollar, while the Japanese yen strengthened. |
Economic environment |
Global economic growth slowed in 2Q12, reflecting lower consumer confidence and business sentiment. In Europe, gross domestic product expanded in Germany and Switzerland, was flat in France and declined in the UK, Spain and Italy. Growth was reported for the US, Japan and Australia. Growth slowed in China and India. Inflation in major developed countries continued to decline as energy prices decreased. |
Central banks around the world maintained loose monetary policies. Australia cut rates by 75 basis points, with China and Brazil also lowering rates. The US Federal Reserve continued to shift its short-term US Treasury holdings towards longer-term securities. |
The eurozone sovereign debt crisis remained a key theme in 2Q12. Greek elections in May did not result in a parliamentary majority and only renewed elections in June resulted in the formation of a coalition seeking continued participation of the country in the eurozone. In late June, Spain asked for a EUR 100 billion bailout package to recapitalize Spanish banks. European leaders agreed on further proposals to stabilize the eurozone, including a single banking supervisory mechanism run by the European Central Bank and authorizing the European Stability Mechanism to inject funds into banks directly. |
In 2Q12 global equity markets were down 5%, with losses in April and May partly offset by gains in June. Eurozone sovereign debt issues were the main driver of market volatility. Volatility increased from the low levels of 1Q12 (refer to the charts "Equity markets"). |
In fixed income markets, long-dated government bonds from top-rated countries recorded the strongest returns, benefiting from safe-haven flows (refer to charts "Yield curves"). In contrast, sovereign bonds from most troubled eurozone countries posted negative returns in 2Q12. Yields on Spanish government bonds reached record levels, while yields on German, US and UK government bonds further dropped to very low levels. In general, European corporate credits underperformed their US counterparts (refer to chart "Credit spreads"). European sovereign debt concerns particularly weighed on financials and the utility sector in Europe. High yield bond spreads widened during the quarter, with European issuers most negatively affected. Emerging market sovereign spreads were generally more resilient, though more volatile issuers such as Argentina posted negative performance. |
Tensions in the sovereign debt market in the eurozone and softening growth indicators were drivers in foreign exchange markets. Major currencies, including the euro and the Swiss franc, weakened against the US dollar, except the Japanese yen, which showed the strongest performance of all major currencies. The Swiss franc remained slightly above the minimum exchange rate of CHF 1.20 per euro previously declared by the Swiss National Bank, which intervened in currency markets in 2Q12 to defend the floor. Currencies of commodity rich countries such as Australia weakened as commodity prices fell in the quarter. |
Commodity markets saw sharp price declines during 2Q12 after significant gains during the quarter. Concerns regarding the global economic slowdown, a stronger US dollar and the ongoing eurozone sovereign debt issues triggered pronounced selling pressure across most markets. Gold prices decreased by 4%, particularly impacted by the stronger US dollar. Oil prices fell to levels last seen in 4Q11. The Credit Suisse Commodity Benchmark lost more than 10%. |

Sector environment |
European bank stocks reversed their 1Q12 outperformance and were down 10% in 2Q12, while the broader equity market as measured by the MSCI World Index was down 5% (refer to the charts "Equity markets"). Capital market funding for banks remained challenging in 2Q12. Moody’s downgraded the ratings of 15 banks and securities firms with global capital markets operations. Banks took further steps to boost capital and adjust business models to reflect the sector's changing regulatory framework, especially in investment banking. With continued low activity levels, cost pressures remained high in the banking industry, with many institutions continuing to focus on cost-cutting initiatives. |
The private banking sector continued to be impacted by ongoing client risk aversion, resulting in subdued activity. The sector continued to adapt to industry-specific regulatory changes, including cross-border business activity and investor protection requirements. The Swiss mortgage market saw sustained strong demand, supported by historically low interest rates. Concerns about the real estate market overheating in certain areas of Switzerland remained pronounced. |
In the investment banking sector, global equity trading volumes declined 9% year on year but increased by 3% quarter on quarter. Global announced mergers and acquisitions (M&A) fell 12%, while global completed M&A declined 26% year on year. Global equity underwriting volumes declined substantially from 1Q12 and 2Q11, particularly in Europe, and were about half of prior year levels, driven primarily by reduced follow-on activity and subdued initial public offering (IPO) volume. Global debt underwriting volumes also declined significantly quarter on quarter and year on year. |
In the asset management sector, the Dow Jones Credit Suisse Hedge Fund Index lost 1.8% as of the end June 2012. In the uncertain environment, hedge funds further reduced leverage, and their exposure to equities and the energy and precious metals sector. US data for mutual fund flows showed net outflows from equity funds in 2Q12. In contrast, bond funds benefited from risk adverse retail investors. In the private equity industry, the distressed debt cycle continued, with selected opportunities remaining. In Europe, slow growth, refinancing needs and bank deleveraging set the stage for distressed investments. Buyout funds attracted the highest levels of capital during the quarter. |

1 Based on tangible shareholders' equity attributable to shareholders, a non-GAAP financial measure, which is calculated by deducting goodwill and other intangible assets from total shareholders' equity attributable to shareholders. Management believes that the return on tangible shareholders' equity attributable to shareholders is meaningful as it allows consistent measurement of the performance of businesses without regard to whether the businesses were acquired. |

Core Results |
In 2Q12, we recorded net income attributable to shareholders of CHF 788 million. Net revenues were CHF 6,241 million and total operating expenses were CHF 5,105 million. |
Results in 2Q12 included fair value gains of CHF 39 million before tax from movements in credit spreads, compared to fair value losses of CHF 1,554 million in 1Q12. |
We continue to make progress on the implementation of our strategy, including the integration of Clariden Leu and reflecting a substantially repositioned fixed income business with resilient results in a difficult market environment. In 2Q12, we incurred realignment costs of CHF 183 million in the quarter and losses of CHF 139 million from fixed income businesses we are exiting in Investment Banking. We reduced Basel III risk-weighted assets in Investment Banking by USD 4 billion compared to 1Q12. |
We recorded net new assets of CHF 4.4 billion, with net new assets of CHF 3.4 billion in Private Banking, mainly driven by inflows in our ultra-high-net-worth individual (UHNWI) client segment and emerging markets, and net asset inflows of CHF 0.4 billion in Asset Management. |
Our Basel II.5 tier 1 ratio was 16.5% as of the end of 2Q12 compared to 15.6% as of the end of 1Q12. Our core tier 1 ratio improved to 12.5% from 11.8% as of the end of 1Q12. |

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 Private Banking, results are allocated based on the management reporting structure of our relationship managers and the region where the transaction is recorded. 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. For Asset Management, results are allocated based on the location of the investment advisors and sales teams. |
Impact from movements in credit spreads |
Our Core Results revenues are impacted by changes in credit spreads on fair-valued Credit Suisse long-term vanilla debt and DVA relating to certain structured notes liabilities carried at fair value. For segment reporting purposes through the end of 2011, the cumulative fair value gains of CHF 1.5 billion on Credit Suisse long-term vanilla debt as of the opening 1Q10 balance sheet was charged to the segments on a straight-line amortization basis, and the difference between this amortization and the fair valuation on this Credit Suisse debt from changes in credit spreads was included in the Corporate Center. |
Beginning in 1Q12, we fully reflect the fair value impact from movements in credit spreads on our long-term vanilla debt and DVA on certain structured notes liabilities in the Corporate Center and discontinued the amortization in the segments of the past fair value gains on long-term vanilla debt. DVA on certain structured notes liabilities was previously recorded in the Investment Banking segment and is now recorded in the Corporate Center in order to aggregate all credit-spread impacts on our funding instruments and to reflect that these impacts are driven by the creditworthiness of the Group rather than our Investment Banking segment or the issuer. Prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation and such reclassifications had no impact on the Group’s net income/(loss) or total shareholders’ equity. |
Our Core Results are also impacted by fair valuation gains/(losses) on stand-alone derivatives relating to certain of our funding liabilities. These fair valuation gains/(losses) on the stand-alone derivatives are recorded in the Corporate Center, 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). |

InPrivate Banking, net revenues of CHF 2,704 million increased CHF 100 million from 1Q12, reflecting slightly higher net interest income and recurring commissions and fees, which included semi-annual performance fees. Transaction-based revenues were negatively impacted by ongoing low client activity, which was more than offset by gains from the integration of Clariden Leu, of which CHF 41 million related to the sale of a non-core business. Compared to 2Q11, which included gains of CHF 72 million from the sale of real estate, net revenues declined 2%. Recurring commissions and fees declined 6% compared to 2Q11 due to lower revenues across most revenue categories, particularly due to lower investment product management fees. Compared to 2Q11, transaction-based revenues were 4% lower, mainly driven by substantially lower brokerage and product issuing fees, reflecting significantly lower client activity and lower transaction volumes across most product lines. Net interest income increased 3%, mainly reflecting higher average deposit and loan volumes, notwithstanding lower deposit margins as a result of the ongoing low interest rate environment, while loan margins increased slightly. |
InInvestment Banking, net revenues of CHF 2,909 million were up 3% from 2Q11. In 2Q12, consistent with the execution of our refined strategy, we further reduced Basel III risk-weighted assets by USD 4 billion to USD 206 billion. Fixed income sales and trading revenues were resilient and more balanced amid a difficult market environment, reflecting a substantially repositioned business with significantly reduced inventory levels. Relative to 2Q11, revenues increased 96%, led by a marked improvement in securitized products and higher results in corporate lending, global rates, emerging markets and global credit products. Revenues declined from a strong 1Q12, reflecting challenging trading conditions, particularly in global rates, and subdued client flow. Equity sales and trading revenues decreased in 2Q12 compared to 1Q12 and 2Q11, reflecting reduced client volumes across key businesses such as cash equities and derivatives. Prime services results remained strong as solid market share, particularly in Europe, more than offset lower industry activity and lower client balances due to reduced market values. Underwriting and advisory results were lower in the quarter relative to 1Q12 and 2Q11, driven by weak underwriting revenues as global issuance volumes remained subdued. |
InAsset Management, net revenues of CHF 550 million were down 16% compared to 2Q11. In the quarter, we completed additional partial sales of our investment in Aberdeen Asset Management, recognizing a gain of CHF 66 million and improving our capital position. In 1Q12 we recognized a gain of CHF 178 million from an earlier sale. Excluding the gains from these sales in the first two quarters of 2012, income before taxes was CHF 67 million in 2Q12 and CHF 76 million in 1Q12, compared to CHF 210 million in 2Q11. Investment-related gains of CHF 27 million were significantly lower than the CHF 101 million in 1Q12 and CHF 156 million in 2Q11, mainly due to adverse market conditions. Compared to 2Q11, fee-based revenues of CHF 478 million were down 3%, with higher performance fees, offset by lower equity participations income resulting from the sale of Aberdeen and lower placement fees. Our fee-based margin was 53 basis points compared to 51 basis points in 2Q11. |

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. In addition, the Corporate Center includes consolidation and elimination adjustments required to eliminate intercompany revenues and expenses. In 2Q12, losses before taxes were CHF 180 million, including fair value gains on our long-term vanilla debt of CHF 109 million, fair value losses on stand-alone derivatives of CHF 52 million and DVA losses on certain structured notes liabilities of CHF 18 million, resulting in overall net gains on such items of CHF 39 million in the quarter. The fair value gains on own vanilla debt reflected the widening of credit spreads on senior and subordinated debt across most currencies. 2Q12 results also included realignment costs of CHF 183 million consisting primarily of severance and other compensation expenses relating to the Group-wide cost efficiency initiatives. |
> Refer to “Impact from movements in credit spreads” for further information. |
Provision for credit losses were net provisions of CHF 25 million in 2Q12, with net provisions of CHF 39 million in Private Banking and releases of CHF 14 million in Investment Banking. |
Total operating expensesof CHF 5,105 million were down 2% compared to 2Q11, primarily reflecting 3% lower compensation and benefits. The decrease in compensation and benefits was mainly due to lower discretionary performance-related compensation expense. The lower operating expenses also reflected our expense reduction initiative. General and administrative expenses were CHF 1,664 million, up 1% compared to 2Q11. Total operating expenses in 6M12, excluding the deferred compensation expense of CHF 534 million related to 2011 Partner Asset Facility (PAF2) awards in 1Q12 and CHF 251 million of business realignment costs in 6M12, were down CHF 1,298 million, or 11%, compared to 6M11. |
Income tax expense of CHF 311 million in 2Q12 mainly reflected the geographical mix of the results, an increase in valuation allowances against deferred tax assets resulting from current quarter losses in the UK and Asia Pacific, partially offset by the impact of an advanced pricing agreement with tax authorities and a release of contingency reserves for uncertain tax positions. Deferred tax assets on net operating losses increased by CHF 153 million to CHF 3,541 million as of the end of 2Q12. Overall, net deferred tax assets increased by CHF 334 million to CHF 8,625 million during 2Q12. The Core Results effective tax rate was 28.0% in 2Q12, compared to (40.0)% in 1Q12. |

Assets under management were CHF 1,213.1 billion, up CHF 8.3 billion, or 0.7% compared to the end of 1Q12, mainly reflecting favorable foreign exchange-related movements and net new assets, partially offset by negative market performance. Private Banking recorded net new assets of CHF 3.4 billion in 2Q12, including CHF 8.9 billion from Wealth Management Clients with inflows in particular from its UHNWI client segment and emerging markets (excluding the impact of outflows of CHF 3.4 billion related to the integration of Clariden Leu). Asset management recorded net asset inflows of CHF 0.4 billion in 2Q12, with inflows in alternative investments, partly offset by outflows in traditional investments. |

1 Source: Bloomberg. Total shareholder return is calculated as equal to the appreciation or depreciation of a particular share, plus any dividends, over a given period, expressed as a percentage of the share's value at the beginning of the period. 2 The peer group for this comparison comprises Bank of America, Barclays, BNP Paribas, Citigroup, Deutsche Bank, HSBC, JPMorgan Chase, Société Générale and UBS. The total shareholder return of this peer group is calculated as a simple, unweighted average of the return reported by Bloomberg for each of the members of the peer group. |
Information and developments |
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. |
The definitions of regulatory capital and capital ratios mentioned below and in II - Treasury refer to the Swiss “Too Big to Fail” legislation adopted in September 2011 as determined by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA). Ratio calculations based on these capital definitions use projected Basel III year-end 2012 risk-weighted assets (RWA). The expected year-end 2012 ratios are based on a pro-forma calculation assuming successful completion of the announced capital actions, and using Bloomberg consensus estimates earnings and our Basel III RWA estimates. |
As the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) Basel III framework (Basel III) will not be implemented before January 1, 2013, we have calculated our Basel III risk-weighted assets and capital for purposes of this report in accordance with the currently proposed requirements and our current interpretation of such requirements, including relevant assumptions. Changes in the actual implementation of Basel III would result in different numbers from those shown in this report. |
Capital measures |
On July 18, 2012, we announced a number of measures described below to accelerate the strengthening of our capital position in light of the current regulatory and market environment by adding an expected CHF 15.3 billion of capital by year-end 2012. An immediate set of actions will be implemented to add CHF 8.7 billion of capital by the end of July 2012. Additional capital actions and earnings-related impacts are expected to add CHF 6.6 billion of capital by year-end 2012. |
The measures will result in an expected year-end 2012 Look-through Swiss Core Capital ratio of 9.4%, compared to the 2018 requirement of 10%. Look-through Swiss Core Capital includes Basel III common equity tier 1 (CET1) and existing tier 1 participation securities that qualify as part of the Swiss equity requirement in excess of the 8.5% Basel III Global Systemically Important Bank (G-SIB) CET1 ratio. |
> Refer to “Capital ratio simulations” in II – Treasury, risk, balance sheet and off-balance sheet – Treasury management for further information. |
Accelerated hybrids exchange |
In July 2012, we reached an agreement with an investor for the immediate exchange of its existing tier 1 capital notes issued in 2008 (hybrids) into tier 1 buffer capital notes (BCNs), thereby accelerating an exchange initially scheduled for October 2013. The BCNs will qualify for Swiss Total Capital, adding CHF 1.7 billion of such capital. The conversion floor price of the high trigger BCNs delivered in the exchange (as well as the remaining BCNs scheduled to be delivered in 2013) has been adjusted to the conversion price of the mandatory and contingent convertible securities described below. |
Mandatory and contingent convertible securities (MACCS) |
In July 2012, we offered CHF 3.8 billion MACCS that are mandatorily convertible into 233.5 million shares at a conversion price of CHF 16.29 per share on March 29, 2013 (subject to early conversion upon certain contingency and viability events). CHF 1.9 billion of MACCS will be purchased directly by strategic and institutional investors, and CHF 1.9 billion MACCS are being offered to shareholders of the Group by way of an offering of preferential subscription rights. Strategic and institutional investors have entered into definitive agreements to purchase any MACCS not taken up by shareholders, thereby ensuring placement of the entire CHF 3.8 billion of MACCS. Among the shares to be issued upon conversion are 33.5 million shares in respect of our 2Q12 purchase of the residual minority stake in Hedging-Griffo Investimentos S.A. (Hedging-Griffo). |
Tier 1 participation securities recognition |
In 2008 and 2010, the Bank issued tier 1 participation securities to “Claudius”, a third-party special purpose entity which, in turn, issued perpetual, non-cumulative, secured notes to investors, of which USD 1.5 billion bear interest at 8.25% and the other USD 1.5 billion bear interest at 7.875%. FINMA ruled that under the Swiss “Too Big to Fail” regime, the existing USD 3 billion in tier 1 participation securities (with a haircut of 20%) will qualify as part of the Swiss equity requirement in excess of the 8.5% Basel III G-SIB CET1 ratio. Effectively, this contributes an additional CHF 2.3 billion of capital and 0.8% to the Swiss core capital ratio until 2018 on a non-reducing basis. |
Sale of residual stake in Aberdeen Asset Management |
We completed the sale of our residual stake in Aberdeen Asset Management on July 2, 2012 for a capital benefit of CHF 0.2 billion. |
Adjustable Performance Plan awards exchange: voluntary exchange offer to employees |
We have launched a voluntary exchange offer, under which employees can elect to convert any future cash payments from deferred compensation awards under the Adjustable Performance Plan awards for shares at the same price as the conversion price under the MACCS. Such an exchange would be immediately accretive to Credit Suisse’s capital. Delivery of the shares will be consistent with the Adjustable Performance Plan awards deferred payment schedule, which provides for payments from 2013 to 2015. Adjustable Performance Plan awards is a cash-based deferred compensation plan awarded in respect of 2009 and 2010, where the award value is linked to the financial performance of the employees’ business areas and the Group’s return on equity. Assuming a 2012 year-end obligation of CHF 1.3 billion, the initial exchange offer benefit to capital is targeted to be approximately CHF 0.75 billion (assuming a 58% acceptance level). The actual amount of the capital benefit depends on the acceptance level of the exchange offer and the Group’s financial performance during the second half of 2012. |
Strategic divestments |
In line with the accelerated implementation of our strategy toward a more liquid alternatives business and given the residual uncertainty regarding the implementation of the “Volcker Rule”, we intend to sell certain illiquid private equity businesses within Asset Management, adding CHF 1.1 billion of capital. The targeted businesses have limited synergies with other businesses of the Group. At the same time, we intend to grow liquid alternative strategies as they are more capital efficient, consistent with regulatory developments and more synergistic with other businesses of the Group. |
Real Estate Sales |
We are also in advanced negotiations for outright sales covering two major real-estate sites and a number of smaller buildings. Additionally, we intend to enter into a sale-and-lease-back transaction agreement relating to an office building we currently own and occupy. These sales are expected to add CHF 0.5 billion of capital. |
Earnings-related effects |
In addition, positive earnings for the second half of 2012 are expected to have a positive impact on our capital position. Using, analysts’ consensus net income as published by Bloomberg, adjusted for our actual results in the first half of the year, additional expected business realignment costs, capital plan transaction fees, the capital effect of share-based compensation awards and deferred tax assets on net operating losses, together with the effect of the tender offer described below, we expect these earning-related effects to add CHF 1.95 billion of additional capital. |
Lower capital deductions |
As a result of the capital measures described above, regulatory capital deductions are expected to be reduced by CHF 3.0 billion, primarily from lower deferred tax assets and lower regulatory threshold deductions. |
Tender offer to repurchase certain outstanding public capital and senior funding instruments |
In addition to the capital measures announced July 18, 2012, we announced a tender offer to repurchase certain outstanding public capital and senior funding instruments. The offer targets 11 capital instruments denominated in US dollars, euros and British pounds and five additional senior bonds denominated in US dollars. The offers allow the Group’s bond investors to sell holdings in capital and senior funding securities. This transaction follows a similar transaction completed in April 2012. |
Cost saving measures |
In 2011, we began implementing a number of cost efficiency initiatives with the goal of achieving CHF 2.0 billion in total cost savings by the end of 2013. We are increasing our year-end 2013 cost savings target to a total of CHF 3.0 billion. The additional cost savings of CHF 1.0 billion include savings of CHF 0.45 billion in Private Banking and CHF 0.55 billion in Investment Banking with approximately 50% of these savings being generated from shared infrastructure and support services across the Group. Remaining realignment costs are expected to be approximately CHF 525 million, of which CHF 225 million are expected to be incurred in the second half of 2012. |
Capital target |
As part of our capital measures announced on July 18, 2012, we communicated a capital ratio target of 10% based on our estimate of the Look-Through Swiss Core Capital Ratio. |
Changes in reporting |
The legal merger of Clariden Leu into the Bank was completed on April 2, 2012. While the integration of Clariden Leu did not impact the consolidated Group’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, the integration did impact the financial statements of the Bank. While the majority of Clariden Leu’s activities were integrated into our Private Banking division, some activities are now managed as part of our Investment Banking and Asset Management divisions, thereby affecting results of all three divisions and assets under management for both Private Banking and Asset Management. |
In 2Q12, we also implemented the previously announced integration of our Private Banking and Investment Banking operations into a single function within Shared Services. |
In addition, our Swiss advisory business and its respective assets under management are now managed as part of our Private Banking division rather than Asset Management. |
We performed a review of our policies regarding the measurement of assets under management and net new assets. As a result of this review we have adopted a more restrictive definition of these metrics, leading to a decrease in assets under management of CHF 45 billion for the Group. |
As a result of these matters, prior period results of the Bank and its divisions and assets under management for the Group have been restated to conform to the current presentation in order to show meaningful trends. The restatement for the three divisions had limited impact on their revenues, expenses and pre-tax income. Assets under management from our Swiss advisory business were shifted from Asset Management to Corporate & Institutional Clients within Private Banking and assets from selected Clariden Leu products were shifted from Wealth Management Clients within Private Banking to Asset Management. |
> Refer to “Capital ratio simulations” in II – Treasury, risk, balance sheet and off-balance sheet – Treasury management for further information. |
Progress on strategy implementation |
We continued to adapt our client-focused, capital-efficient strategy to optimize our use of capital and improve our cost structure. |
In Private Banking, we made further progress in implementing the initiatives announced to optimize Private Banking’s business portfolio and enhance profitability. We completed the merger with Clariden Leu on April 2, 2012. |
In Investment Banking, we further reduced Basel III risk-weighted assets by USD 4 billion to USD 206 billion and lowered our expense base. |
> Refer to “Strategy” in I – Information on the company in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2011 for further information. |
Share Issuances |
In April 2012, the Annual General Meeting approved a distribution against reserves instead of a dividend paid from net income for the year 2011 in the form of shares (scrip dividend) or cash. In May, shareholders made their election and, as a result, 24.2 million new Group shares were issued out of authorized capital, representing approximately 2% of our share capital upon issuance. |
In 2Q12, we issued 37.9 million new Group shares in connection with the settlement of vested share-based compensation awards, representing approximately 3.0% of our share capital upon issuance. |
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. |
> Refer to “Compensation and benefits” in II – Operating and financial review – Core Results in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2011 for further information. |
Board of Directors and Management changes |
At our Annual General Meeting in April 2012, shareholders approved the election of two new members to the Board of Directors, Iris Bohnet, Academic Dean and Professor of Public Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School, and Jean-Daniel Gerber, former Director of the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) in the Federal Department of Economic Affairs, and the re-election of Walter B. Kielholz, Andreas N. Koopmann, Urs Rohner, Richard E. Thornburgh and John Tiner. Peter F. Weibel stepped down from the Board of Directors. |
Effective April 30, 2012, Karl Landert stepped down from the Executive Board and his position as Chief Information Officer. David Mathers, Chief Financial Officer and a member of the Executive Board, assumed responsibility for the IT organization in addition to his current role. |
Effective May 31, 2012, Antonio Quintella was appointed as Chairman of Hedging-Griffo and stepped down from the Executive Board and his position as Chief Executive Officer Americas. Rob Shafir assumed the role as Chief Executive Officer Americas in addition to his current role as Chief Executive Officer Asset Management. |
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. |
On June 1, 2012, the Swiss Federal Council adopted implementing ordinances under the “Too Big to Fail” legislation and with regard to the implementation of Basel III into Swiss law. Effective immediately is a supplemental countercyclical buffer of up to 2.5% of risk-weighted assets which can be activated during periods of excess credit growth and subsequently deactivated by the Federal Council upon request of the Swiss National Bank after consultation with FINMA. Also effective immediately are increased lending standards for residential mortgage lending. The remaining ordinance requirements are expected to become effective January 1, 2013, with some being phased in through the end of 2018. Requirements particular to systemically relevant banks, including specific capital, leverage and Recovery and Resolution Plan requirements, will require approval by Parliament, which is expected to vote in September 2012. A final, liquidity-related implementing ordinance is expected to be completed in 2013. |
On June 15, 2012, the Swiss Parliament approved the bilateral tax agreements between Switzerland and Germany, the UK and Austria. The agreements each remain subject to parliamentary approval by the other contracting country to become effective. |
On June 29, 2012, the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) issued proposed guidance on the cross-border application of its derivatives reforms under the US Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank) and a proposed exemption delaying the effectiveness of certain CFTC rules promulgated under Dodd-Frank for up to a year. The proposed guidance includes a broad definition of a “US person” and, if adopted, would expand the range of activity by Credit Suisse’s non-US subsidiaries that will be subject to the CFTC rules, particularly with respect to certain counterparties that are collective investment vehicles with US investors. The proposed guidance also includes an interpretation of when a non-US entity may be required to register with the CFTC as a swap dealer or major swap participant, and a policy statement regarding how such an entity would be required to comply with the CFTC rules, including some limits on the scope of transactions subject to the CFTC rules. The final guidance and exemption are expected to become effective later in the year. In addition, on July 9 and 10, 2012, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the CFTC approved final rules defining key terms under Dodd-Frank. Those final rules are expected to become effective later in the year, and their effectiveness will trigger the application of several other CFTC rules, including the requirement that Credit Suisse entities engaged in US swap dealing activity register with the CFTC. We are currently evaluating how the proposed guidance, proposed exemption and final rules may affect our existing plans for implementation of Dodd-Frank. |

Allocations and funding |
Responsibility for each product is allocated to a segment, which records all related revenues and expenses. Revenue-sharing and service level agreements, which aim to reflect the pricing structure of unrelated third-party transactions, govern the compensation received by one segment for generating revenue or providing services on behalf of another. Corporate services and business support are provided by the Shared Services area and these costs are allocated to the segments and Corporate Center based on their requirements and other relevant measures. |
We centrally manage our funding activities, with new securities for funding and capital purposes issued primarily by the Bank which lends funds to our operating subsidiaries and affiliates. Capital is distributed to the segments considering factors such as regulatory capital requirements, utilized economic capital and the historic and future potential return on capital. Transfer pricing, using market rates, is used to record net revenues and expenses relating to this funding in each of the segments, and our businesses are also credited to the extent they provide long-term stable funding. |
> Refer to “Allocations and funding” in II – Operating and financial review – Core Results in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2011 for further information. |
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. |
The Financial Report 2Q12, including additional disclosures on fair value of financial instruments, will be published on our website and filed with the SEC on or about August 7, 2012. |
> Refer to “Note 1 – Summary of significant accounting policies” and “Note 26 – Financial instruments” in III – Condensed consolidated financial statements – unaudited for further information. |
Personnel |
Headcount at the end of 2Q12 was 48,200, down 500 from 1Q12 and down 2,500 from 2Q11. The decrease in 2Q12 reflected reductions in headcount in connection with our cost efficiency initiatives, primarily in Investment Banking. |

Private Banking |
In 2Q12, we reported income before taxes of CHF 775 million and net revenues of CHF 2,704 million. |
Net revenues increased CHF 100 million from 1Q12, reflecting slightly higher net interest income and recurring commissions and fees, which included semi-annual performance fees. Transaction-based revenues were negatively impacted by ongoing low client activity, which was more than offset by gains from the integration of Clariden Leu, of which CHF 41 million related to the sale of a non-core business. Compared to 2Q11, which included gains of CHF 72 million from the sale of real estate, net revenues declined 2%. |
Total operating expenses were slightly lower compared to 1Q12 and 2Q11. Compensation and benefits decreased 7%, or CHF 87 million compared to 1Q12, which included PAF2 awards which were granted and expensed in 1Q12. |
Provision for credit losses were CHF 39 million on a net loan portfolio of CHF 202 billion. |
Headcount was 1,100 lower compared to 2Q11, in line with our efficiency measures. |
In 2Q12, we attracted net new assets of CHF 8.9 billion in Wealth Management Clients excluding outflows of CHF 3.4 billion related to the integration of Clariden Leu. Inflows were mainly driven by our UHNWI client segment and emerging markets. |

Results detail |
The following provides a comparison of our 2Q12 results versus 2Q11 (YoY) and versus 1Q12 (QoQ) and reflects the changes in reporting as discussed in “Core Results – Information and developments – Changes in reporting”. |
Net revenues |
Recurring revenues arise from net interest income, recurring commissions and fees, including performance-based fees, related to assets under management and custody assets, as well as fees for general banking products and services. Net interest income includes a term spread credit on stable deposit funding and a term spread charge on loans. Transaction-based revenues arise primarily from brokerage and product issuing fees, foreign exchange income from client transactions and other transaction-based income. |
YoY: Down 2% from CHF 2,754 million to CHF 2,704 million |
The decrease in net revenues was driven by lower recurring commissions and fees and lower transaction-based revenues. Recurring commissions and fees declined 6% due to lower revenues across most revenue categories, particularly due to lower investment product management fees. Transaction-based revenues were 4% lower, mainly driven by substantially lower brokerage and product issuing fees, reflecting significantly lower client activity and lower transaction volumes across most product lines. 2Q12 included gains from the integration of Clariden Leu, of which CHF 41 million related to the sale of a non-core business. 2Q11 included gains of CHF 72 million from the sale of real estate. Net interest income increased 3%, mainly reflecting higher average deposit and loan volumes, notwithstanding lower deposit margins as a result of the ongoing low interest rate environment, while loan margins increased slightly. |
QoQ: Up 4% from CHF 2,604 million to CHF 2,704 million |
The increase in net revenues was driven by higher net interest income, recurring commissions and fees and transaction-based revenues. Net interest income increased 3%, reflecting slightly higher average loan volumes with slightly higher margins. Recurring commissions and fees were 3% higher, primarily due to semi-annual performance fees. Transaction-based revenues increased 5%, reflecting gains from the integration of Clariden Leu, partially offset by substantially lower brokerage and product issuing 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 and institutional loan portfolio has relatively low concentrations and is mainly secured by mortgages, securities and other financial collateral. |
YoY: Up from CHF (2) million to CHF 39 million |
Wealth Management Clients recorded net provisions of CHF 28 million and Corporate & Institutional Clients recorded net provisions of CHF 11 million. Provision for credit losses reflected higher new provisions, resulting from isolated cases in both Wealth Management Clients and Corporate & Institutional Clients. |
QoQ: Down 3% from CHF 40 million to CHF 39 million |
Provision for credit losses were slightly lower. In 1Q12, Wealth Management Clients recorded net provisions of CHF 21 million and Corporate & Institutional Clients recorded net provisions of CHF 19 million. |
Operating expenses |
Compensation and benefits |
YoY: Stable at CHF 1,107 million compared to CHF 1,111 million |
Compensation and benefits were stable as measures from our cost efficiency initiatives were offset by increased IT personnel investments. Discretionary performance-related compensation accruals decreased, reflecting lower business performance. |
QoQ: Down 7% from CHF 1,194 million to CHF 1,107 million |
The decrease primarily reflected deferred compensation expense of CHF 67 million from the PAF2 awards, which were granted and expensed in 1Q12. |
General and administrative expenses |
YoY: Down 4% from CHF 66 0 million to CHF 635 million |
The decrease reflected lower costs across most categories, including travel and entertainment as well as advertising and marketing expenses. |
QoQ: Up 3% from CHF 619 million to CHF 635 million |
General and administrative expenses increased slightly due to a seasonal increase in advertising and marketing expenses as well as higher travel and entertainment expenses, partially offset by lower costs in connection with our cost initiatives. |

Assets under management |
Assets under management continued to reflect a risk-averse asset mix, with investments in less complex, lower-margin products, also within managed investment products, and a significant portion of assets in cash and money market products. |
Assets under management of CHF 987.9 billion were CHF 4.4 billion higher compared to the end of 1Q12, as a favorable foreign exchange impact and net new assets were partially offset by negative market movements. Wealth Management Clients contributed net new assets of CHF 8.9 billion, particularly from our UHNWI client segment and emerging markets excluding outflows of CHF 3.4 billion related to the integration of Clariden Leu. Corporate & Institutional Clients in Switzerland reported outflows of CHF 2.1 billion, driven by a small number of large Swiss institutional clients reducing their asset share by rebalancing their investment strategy. Average assets under management of Wealth Management Clients increased 1.2% compared to 1Q12. |
Assets under management were CHF 44.9 billion higher compared to the end of 2Q11, driven by a favorable foreign exchange impact and net new assets, partially offset by negative market movements. Average assets under management in Wealth Management Clients increased 1.0% compared to 2Q11. |

Progress on strategy implementation |
We made further progress in implementing the initiatives announced in November 2011 to optimize Private Banking’s business portfolio and enhance profitability. |
We completed the merger with Clariden Leu on April 2, 2012. The integration of Clariden Leu, including its banking platform and systems infrastructure, is well on track and is expected to be completed by the end of 2012. |
We advanced our international growth strategy with the June 2012 closing of our acquisition of HSBC’s private banking business in Japan, where we are now the second largest foreign wealth manager. |
Wealth Management Clients |
Net revenues |
Net interest income |
YoY: Up 3% from CHF 831 million to CHF 86 0 million |
Higher net interest income reflected higher average loan and deposit volumes notwithstanding slightly lower deposit margins. Higher average deposit volumes reflected a higher average US dollar exchange rate against the Swiss franc and a continued risk-averse client asset mix. |
QoQ: Up 4% from CHF 828 million to CHF 86 0 million |
Higher net interest income reflected stable deposit and loan margins on slightly higher average deposit and loan volumes. |
Recurring commissions and fees |
YoY: Down 7% from CHF 871 million to CHF 809 million |
Recurring commissions and fees decreased primarily due to lower investment product management fees, partly reflecting a conservative client asset mix. |
QoQ: Up 4% from CHF 778 million to CHF 809 million |
The increase in recurring commissions and fees was driven by semi-annual performance fees and higher investment account and services fees, partly offset by lower banking services fees. |
Transaction-based |
YoY: Down 3% from CHF 565 million to CHF 548 million |
The decline was mainly driven by substantially lower brokerage and product issuing fees, reflecting significantly lower client activity and lower transaction volumes across most product lines. 2Q12 included gains from the integration of Clariden Leu, of which CHF 41 million related to the sale of a non-core business. 2Q11 included gains of CHF 72 million from the sale of real estate. |
QoQ: Up 5% from CHF 521 million to CHF 548 million |
The increase was mainly due to gains from the integration of Clariden Leu, partially offset by substantially lower brokerage and product issuing fees, reflecting continued low client activity and lower transaction volumes in equities, bonds and mutual funds. |
Gross margin |
Our gross margin was 115 basis points in 2Q12, four basis points lower compared to 2Q11. Compared to 1Q12, the gross margin increased four basis points. Excluding the sale of the non-core business, the gross margin was 113 basis points. |

Investment Banking |
We reported income before taxes of CHF 383 million and net revenues of CHF 2,909 million. |
In 2Q12, consistent with the execution of our refined strategy, we further reduced Basel III risk-weighted assets by USD 4 billion to USD 206 billion. |
Fixed income sales and trading revenues were resilient and more balanced amid a difficult market environment, reflecting a substantially repositioned business with significantly reduced inventory levels. Relative to 2Q11, revenues increased 96%, led by a marked improvement in securitized products and higher results in corporate lending, global rates, emerging markets and global credit products. Revenues declined from a strong 1Q12, reflecting challenging trading conditions, particularly in global rates, and subdued client flow. |
Equity sales and trading revenues decreased compared to 1Q12 and 2Q11, reflecting reduced client volumes across key businesses such as cash equities and derivatives. Prime services results remained strong as solid market share, particularly in Europe, more than offset lower industry activity and lower client balances due to reduced market values. |
Underwriting and advisory results were also lower in the quarter relative to 1Q12 and 2Q11, driven by weak underwriting revenues as global issuance volumes remained subdued. |
Compensation and benefits declined from 1Q12, reflecting lower deferred compensation expense, as 1Q12 included CHF 418 million of expense related to the PAF2 awards, and lower discretionary performance-related compensation expense. Total operating expenses in 6M12, excluding the deferred compensation expense of CHF 418 million related to PAF2 in 1Q12, were down CHF 928 million, or 15%, compared 6M11. |
Results in 2Q12 were impacted by the strengthening of the average rate of the US dollar against the Swiss franc compared to 2Q11, which favorably impacted revenues and adversely affected expenses. In Swiss francs, net revenues increased 3% and total operating expenses declined 2%. In US dollars, net revenues were down 6% and total operating expenses declined 11% from 2Q11. |

1 In June 2011, we made significant changes to our VaR methodology. Risk management VaR for periods prior to implementation has been restated in order to show meaningful trends. 2 Refer to "BIS statistics (Basel II.5)" in II – Treasury, risk, balance sheet and off-balance sheet – Treasury management for information on the currently applicable Basel II.5 framework. 3 As Basel III will not be implemented before January 1, 2013, we have calculated our Basel III risk-weighted assets and capital for purposes of this report in accordance with the currently proposed requirements and our current interpretation of such requirements, including relevant assumptions. Changes in the actual implementation of Basel III would result in different numbers from those shown in this report. |
Results detail |
The following provides a comparison of our 2Q12 results versus 2Q11 (YoY) and versus 1Q12 (QoQ) and reflects the changes in reporting as discussed in “Core Results – Information and developments – Changes in reporting”. |
Net revenues |
Debt underwriting |
YoY: Down 22% from CHF 399 million to CHF 312 million |
The decrease was driven by lower results in investment grade as global issuance volumes remained subdued and lower revenues from structured lending in emerging markets. We also had lower results in leveraged finance, reflecting significantly reduced industry-wide high yield issuance volumes and lower market share. |
QoQ: Down 27% from CHF 428 million to CHF 312 million |
The decrease was primarily due to lower results in leveraged finance, reflecting significantly lower industry-wide high yield issuance activity and lower market share. We also had lower results in investment grade as industry-wide global issuance volumes declined. |
Equity underwriting |
YoY: Down 67% from CHF 294 million to CHF 97 million |
The decrease was driven by lower revenues from follow-on offerings and IPOs, reflecting significantly lower levels of industry-wide equity issuance volumes and lower market share. |
QoQ: Down 19% from CHF 120 million to CHF 97 million |
The decrease was primarily due to lower revenues from follow-on offerings, reflecting reduced global industry-wide issuance activity and lower market share. |
Advisory and other fees |
YoY: Down 14% from CHF 272 million to CHF 235 million |
The decrease reflected lower M&A and other advisory fees, as a decline in global industry-wide completed M&A activity was only partly offset by an increase in completed M&A market share. |
QoQ: Up 10% from CHF 213 million to CHF 235 million |
The increase was due to higher M&A advisory fees, reflecting an improvement in our completed M&A market share and also higher levels of global industry-wide M&A activity relative to 1Q12. |
Fixed income sales and trading |
YoY: Up 96% from CHF 607 million to CHF 1,190 million |
The increase was primarily driven by a substantial improvement in securitized products and higher revenues in corporate lending, global rates, emerging markets and global credit products. These results were achieved following a substantial repositioning of our fixed income franchise, resulting in a more balanced business portfolio with increased revenue diversification and reduced inventory levels. In 2Q11, securitized products were impacted by a steep decline in mortgage bond prices, which led to significant valuation reductions on client flow inventory, losses from sales of inventory as we reduced risk and unfavorable market movements on related hedges. Our global rates and credit results also incurred losses on inventory positions in 2Q11 due to increased volatility and reduced liquidity in the markets. In 2Q12, we incurred losses of CHF 139 million from businesses we are exiting, compared to CHF 126 million in 2Q11. Fixed income Basel III risk-weighted assets totaled USD 139 billion, a reduction of 48% from a year ago, while revenues increased 96%. |
QoQ: Down 41% from CHF 2,033 million to CHF 1,190 million |
The decrease was primarily driven by lower results in global rates, reflecting unfavorable trading conditions as macroeconomic concerns persisted and subdued client flows. We also had lower revenues in global credit products and securitized products following a strong 1Q12, driven by more challenging market conditions and subdued client activity resulting from the ongoing economic crisis in Europe. In addition, we had lower results in emerging markets and foreign exchange. In the quarter, we incurred losses of CHF 139 million from businesses we are exiting, compared to losses of CHF 261 million in 1Q12. Fixed income Basel III risk-weighted assets were reduced by 5% from 1Q12. |
Equity sales and trading |
YoY: Down 8% from CHF 1,251 million to CHF 1,150 million |
The decrease was driven by lower revenues in cash equities, reflecting reduced client trading volumes amid continued market uncertainty. We also had lower revenues in fund-linked products. Prime services revenues increased and remained resilient, reflecting continued strong market share. |
QoQ: Down 18% from CHF 1,411 million to CHF 1,150 million |
The decrease was primarily driven by weaker results in derivatives, reflecting sustained macroeconomic concerns and our conservative risk positioning, as well as subdued client activity in Asia, offset by stronger client activity in the US. In addition, we had lower revenues in cash equities despite an increase in market share as client trading volumes moderately declined. We also had lower revenues in our fund-linked products, convertibles and global arbitrage trading businesses. These results were partly offset by higher prime services revenues as solid market share, particularly in Europe, more than offset lower industry activity and lower client balances due to reduced market values. |
Provision for credit losses |
YoY: From CHF 15 million to CHF (14) million |
The change reflected lower provisions and higher recoveries. |
QoQ: From CHF (6) million to CHF (14) million |
The change reflected higher recoveries. |
Operating expenses |
Compensation and benefits |
YoY: Stable at CHF 1,457 million |
Compensation and benefits were stable, reflecting the foreign exchange translation impact. In US dollars, compensation and benefits declined 9% as lower deferred compensation expense from prior year awards was partially offset by higher discretionary performance-related compensation expense, reflecting the higher results. |
QoQ: Down 30% from CHF 2,076 million to CHF 1,457 million |
The decrease was primarily driven by lower deferred compensation expense, as 1Q12 included CHF 418 million of expenses related to PAF2 awards, and lower discretionary performance-related compensation expense, reflecting the lower results. |
General and administrative expenses |
YoY: Stable at CHF 839 million |
Expenses were stable, reflecting the foreign exchange translation impact. In US dollars, expenses decreased 8%, driven mainly by lower infrastructure processing costs and legal fees. These were partly offset by a CHF 36 million accrual for the UK bank levy, which was enacted in 3Q11. |
QoQ: Stable at CHF 839 million |
Expenses were stable, reflecting the foreign exchange translation impact. In US dollars, expenses decreased 4%, driven by a decrease in litigation expense provisions. |

Market share momentum |
– Credit Suisse retained its #1 rankings in US Equity Trading, US Electronic Trading and US Program Trading for the third consecutive year, according to the latestGreenwich Associatessurvey. |
– In a recent fixed income trading survey for North America byGreenwich Associates, we increased or maintained market share in several key businesses and significantly improved our market share in investment grade trading. |
Progress on strategy implementation |
To date, we have made significant progress in executing our refined strategy announced in November 2011. In 2Q12, we further reduced Basel III risk-weighted assets by USD 4 billion to USD 206 billion, bringing the cumulative reduction in Basel III risk-weighted assets to USD 125 billion since 2Q11. This was primarily achieved within our fixed income businesses, including a reduction in trades and positions in our wind-down portfolio and securitized products, and through other mitigation measures. Our Investment Banking Basel III risk-weighted assets target for year-end 2012 is at or below current levels and reflects current foreign exchange rates and estimates for Basel III treatment. |
In addition, we have increased our operating efficiency through a lower expense base, which we expect will contribute to higher returns on capital. This was driven by a reduction in headcount and a reduction in non-compensation expense, including lower IT and infrastructure processing costs. We now expect to achieve additional cost savings of CHF 0.55 billion by year-end 2013. |
Asset Management |
In 2Q12, we reported income before taxes of CHF 133 million and net revenues of CHF 550 million. |
In the quarter, we completed additional partial sales of our investment in Aberdeen Asset Management, recognizing a gain of CHF 66 million and improving our capital position. In 1Q12 we recognized a gain of CHF 178 million from an earlier sale. Excluding the gains from these sales in the first two quarters of 2012, income before taxes was CHF 67 million in 2Q12 and CHF 76 million in 1Q12, compared to CHF 210 million in 2Q11. |
Investment-related gains of CHF 27 million were significantly lower than the CHF 101 million in 1Q12 and CHF 156 million in 2Q11 mainly due to adverse market conditions. Compared to 2Q11, fee-based revenues of CHF 478 million were down 3%, with higher performance fees, offset by lower equity participations income resulting from the sale of Aberdeen and lower placement fees. Our fee-based margin was 53 basis points compared to 51 basis points in 2Q11. |
Operating expenses of CHF 417 million were down 2% compared to 1Q12, which included deferred compensation expenses from the PAF2 awards, which were granted and expensed in 1Q12, and were down 6% compared to 2Q11. Total operating expenses in 6M12, excluding the deferred compensation expense of CHF 46 million related to PAF2 awards in 1Q12, were down CHF 83 million, or 9%, compared to 6M11. |
In 2Q12, assets under management remained stable. We had net asset inflows of CHF 0.4 billion in 2Q12 with inflows in alternative investments offset by outflows in traditional investments. |
In July 2012, we sold our remaining holding of 7.0% in Aberdeen, resulting in a gain of approximately CHF 140 million to be recognized in 3Q12. |

Results detail |
The following provides a comparison of our 2Q12 results versus 2Q11 (YoY) and versus 1Q12 (QoQ) and reflects the changes in reporting as discussed in “Core Results – Information and developments – Changes in reporting”. |
Net revenues |
Asset management fees |
YoY: Down 2% from CHF 332 million to CHF 326 million |
Lower fees in traditional investments were partially offset by higher fees in alternative investments. Lower fees in traditional investments primarily reflected the decrease in average assets under management and outflows of assets from mandates transferred into Asset Management in connection with the integration of Clariden Leu. Higher fees in alternative investments reflected the final closing of a secondary fund in 1Q12 and higher average assets under management in index solutions, partially offset by the closure and restructuring of certain product lines in 2011. Average assets under management decreased 6.3%. |
QoQ: Stable at CHF 326 million |
Both alternative investments and traditional investments management fees were stable. |
Placement, transaction and other fees |
YoY: Down 20% from CHF 64 million to CHF 51 million |
The decrease primarily reflected lower private equity placement fees. |
QoQ: Up 16% from CHF 44 million to CHF 51 million |
The increase primarily reflected higher private equity placement fees, partially offset by lower transaction fees. |
Performance fees and carried interest |
YoY: Up 23% from CHF 60 million to CHF 74 million |
The increase reflected higher performance fees from Hedging-Griffo and credit strategies, partially offset by lower carried interest from realized private equity gains. |
QoQ: Up 118% from CHF 34 million to CHF 74 million |
The increase was mainly due to semi-annual performance fees from Hedging-Griffo, partially offset by lower carried interest from realized private equity gains and lower performance fees in diversified investments relating to the management of the 2008 Partner Asset Facility (PAF). |
Equity participations income |
YoY: Down 25% from CHF 36 million to CHF 27 million |
The decrease was primarily due to lower revenues in diversified investments due to our partial sale of Aberdeen, partially offset by higher equity income from private equity participations. As a result of the partial sale of our investment in Aberdeen in February, we discontinued accounting for this investment under the equity method of accounting and in 1Q12 classified our remaining holdings as available-for-sale securities. This change contributed to lower equity participations income in diversified investments in 2Q12. |
QoQ: Up 35% from CHF 20 million to CHF 27 million |
The increase was mainly due to higher equity participations income in emerging markets, private equity and single-manager hedge funds in alternative investments. The increase was partly offset by lower equity participations income in diversified investments resulting from the change in the accounting treatment in 1Q12 for our investment in Aberdeen. |
Investment-related gains/(losses) |
YoY: Down 83% from CHF 156 million to CHF 27 million |
In 2Q12, the gains of CHF 27 million reflected gains in private equity investments mainly in the commodities and financial sectors, offset in part by losses in the energy sector. In 2Q11, the gains of CHF 156 million reflected gains in private equity investments, mainly in the healthcare, energy, retail and commodity sectors, partially offset by losses in the technology sector. |
QoQ: Down 73% from CHF 101 million to CHF 27 million |
In 2Q12, the gains of CHF 27 million reflected gains in private equity investments mainly in the commodities and financial sectors, offset in part by losses in the energy sector. In 1Q12, the gains of CHF 101 million reflected gains in hedge fund investments and in the energy and healthcare sectors. |
Equity participations and other gains/(losses) |
YoY: Up from zero to CHF 69 million |
The gain in 2Q12 resulted from the sale of 32.2 million shares of our ownership interest in Aberdeen, reducing our interest in Aberdeen from 9.8% to 7.0%, and a small gain on the partial sale of a joint venture investment. |
QoQ: Down 59% from CHF 170 million to CHF 69 million |
The gain in 1Q12 reflected the sale of 113.8 million shares of our ownership interest in Aberdeen, partially offset by an impairment of CHF 8 million on investments held by Asset Management Finance LLC. The gain in 2Q12 primarily resulted from the partial sale of our ownership interest in Aberdeen. |
Operating expenses |
Compensation and benefits |
YoY: Stable at CHF 256 million |
Lower discretionary performance-related compensation in 2Q12 was offset by higher deferred compensation expense and higher social security taxes on share award settlements. |
QoQ: Down 5% from CHF 270 million to CHF 256 million |
The decrease was primarily due to lower deferred compensation expense, which in 1Q12 included an expense of CHF 46 million related to the PAF2 awards, which were granted and expensed in 1Q12, partly offset by higher discretionary performance-related compensation expense and higher social security taxes on share award settlements. |
General and administrative expenses |
YoY: Down 19% from CHF 149 million to CHF 121 million |
The decrease mainly reflected lower legal and consulting fees and the release of expense provisions, partly offset by higher occupancy-related expenses and higher outsourced services. |
QoQ: Stable at CHF 121 million |
The release of expense provisions offset higher advertising, market data and occupancy-related expenses. |

Assets under management |
Assets under management as of the end of 2Q12 were CHF 360.5 billion, stable compared with 1Q12. We had net asset inflows of CHF 0.4 billion in 2Q12 with inflows of CHF 0.9 billion in alternative investments, primarily from emerging markets and credit strategies. Outflows of CHF 0.5 billion in traditional investments reflected outflows in multi-asset class solutions, largely from mandates transferred into Asset Management in connection with the integration of Clariden Leu, partially offset by inflows in fixed income and equity, including inflows into former Clariden Leu funds. Favorable foreign exchange-related movements and the net asset inflows were offset by negative market performance. Average assets under management at CHF 361.5 billion were 1.5% lower than 1Q12. |
Compared to 2Q11, assets under management were down 4.9%. The decrease primarily reflected net asset outflows partially offset by positive foreign exchange-related movements. Average assets under management decreased 6.3%. |

Assets under management |
We had net asset inflows of CHF 4.4 billion during 2Q12 and assets under management of CHF 1,213.1 billion as of the end of 2Q12. |
Assets under management |
Assets under management reflect the changes in reporting as discussed in “Core Results – Information and developments – Changes in reporting”. |
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 customer fully transfers the discretionary power to a Credit Suisse entity with a management mandate. Discretionary assets are reported in the segment in which the advice is provided as well as in the segment in which the investment decisions take place. Assets managed by Asset Management for Private Banking clients are reported in both segments and eliminated at Group 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. |
As of the end of 2Q12, assets under management were CHF 1,213.1 billion, up CHF 8.3 billion, or 0.7%, compared to the end of 1Q12, mainly reflecting favorable foreign exchange-related movements and net new assets, partially offset by negative market performance. |
Compared to the end of 2Q11, assets under management were up CHF 26.8 billion, or 2.3%. Favorable foreign exchange-related movements and net new assets were partly offset by negative market performance. |
In Private Banking, assets under management were CHF 987.9 billion, up CHF 4.4 billion, or 0.4%, compared to the end of 1Q12, and up CHF 44.9 billion, or 4.8%, compared to the end of 2Q11. In Asset Management, assets under management were CHF 360.5 billion, down CHF 0.3 billion, stable compared to the end of 1Q12, and down CHF 18.7 billion, or 4.9%, compared to the end of 2Q11. |

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. |
Private Banking recorded net new assets of CHF 3.4 billion in 2Q12, including CHF 5.5 billion from Wealth Management Clients, with inflows particularly from its UHNWI client segment and emerging markets. Asset Management recorded net asset inflows of CHF 0.4 billion in 2Q12, with inflows in alternative investments, partly offset by outflows in traditional investments. |
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. |

Balance sheet and off-balance sheet |
Treasury management |
During 2Q12, we continued to maintain a strong liquidity and funding position with an estimated Basel III net stable funding ratio of over 100% as of the end of the quarter. Our proactive approach to capital management resulted in an increase in our Basel II.5 core tier 1 ratio to 12.5% as of the end of 2Q12 compared to 11.8% as of the end of 1Q12. |
Liquidity and funding management |
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 as agreed with FINMA has been subject to review and monitoring by FINMA, other regulators and rating agencies for many years. Moreover, our liquidity risk management principles and framework are in line with the Basel III liquidity framework. |
> Refer to “Treasury management” in III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2011 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 buffer that covers unexpected outflows in the event of severe market and idiosyncratic stress. The assets included in the liquidity buffer consist primarily of cash placed with central banks and high-quality sovereign bonds obtained through outright purchase or reverse repurchase transactions. Our liquidity risk parameters reflect various liquidity stress assumptions, which we believe are conservative. We manage our liquidity profile at a sufficient level such that, in the event that 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. |
The BCBS has issued the Basel III international framework for liquidity risk measurement, standards and monitoring. The framework includes a liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) and a net stable funding ratio (NSFR). The LCR, which is expected to be introduced January 1, 2015 following an observation period which began in 2011, addresses liquidity risk over a 30-day period. The NSFR, which is expected to be introduced 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 BCBS has stated that it will review the effect of these liquidity standards on financial markets, credit extension and economic growth to address unintended consequences. |
The LCR aims to ensure that banks have a stock of unencumbered high-quality liquid assets available to meet liquidity needs for a 30-day time horizon 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. The ratio of liquid assets over net cash outflows should always be at least 100%. |
The NSFR is intended to ensure banks maintain a structurally sound long-term funding profile beyond one year and is a complementary measure to the LCR. The NSFR is structured to ensure that illiquid assets are funded with an appropriate amount of stable long-term funds. The standard 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 are now using the NSFR as the primary tool (while continuing to also model alternative scenarios) to monitor our structural liquidity position, to plan funding and as the basis for our funds transfer pricing policy. We estimate that our NSFR is over 100% as of the end of 2Q12, which is our target for the end of 2013. Where requirements are unclear or left to be determined by national regulators, we have made our own interpretation to arrive at the current result. |
> Refer to “Debt issuances and redemptions” for further information on our liability management activities. |
Funding sources and uses |
We primarily fund our balance sheet through core customer deposits, long-term debt and shareholders’ equity. 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 is 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, which fluctuate and are generally liquid. These liquid assets are available to settle short-term liabilities. These assets include our buffer of CHF 146 billion of cash, securities accepted under central bank facilities and other highly liquid unencumbered securities, which can be monetized in a time frame consistent with our short-term stress assumptions. During the quarter, we slightly increased our short-term liabilities, which is reflected in an increase of our liquidity buffer, including central bank balances, from CHF 142 billion in 1Q12. 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 2Q12, up from 21% in 1Q12. We fund other illiquid assets, including real estate, private equity and other long-term investments and a haircut for the illiquid portion of securities, with long-term debt and equity, where we try to maintain a substantial funding buffer. |
Our core customer deposits totaled CHF 285 billion as of the end of 2Q12, compared to CHF 275 billion as of the end of 1Q12. The increase reflected both a growth in the customer deposit base and a strengthening of the US dollar against the Swiss franc. 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 deposits. 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” for further information. |

Debt issuances and redemptions |
Our capital markets debt includes senior and subordinated debt issued in US-registered offerings and medium-term note programs, euro market medium-term note programs, Australian dollar domestic medium-term note programs, a Samurai shelf registration statement in Japan and covered bond programs. As a global bank, we have access to multiple markets worldwide and our major funding centers are Zurich, New York, London 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. |
The percentage of unsecured funding from long-term debt, excluding non-recourse debt associated with the consolidation of variable interest entities (VIEs), was 25% as of the end of 2Q12, compared to 26% as of the end of 1Q12. |
In 2Q12, the Bank issued CHF 261 million of domestic covered bonds. Senior debt of CHF 3.3 billion and subordinated debt of CHF 100 million and domestic covered bonds of CHF 200 million matured in 2Q12. As of June 30, 2012, we had CHF 14.8 billion of domestic and international covered bonds outstanding. |
The weighted average maturity of long-term debt was 6.5 years (including certificates of deposits 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). |
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 1.6 billion, CHF 3.6 billion and CHF 4.2 billion, respectively, as of 2Q12, 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. The Moody’s ratings downgrade announced on June 21, 2012 had an impact of less than CHF 100 million on our collateral requirement. |
As of the end of 2Q12, we were compliant with the requirements related to maintaining a specific credit rating under these derivative instruments. |
> Refer to “Credit ratings” in III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet – Treasury management – Liquidity and funding management in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2011 for further information. |
Capital management |
Capital management framework |
Our capital management framework is intended to ensure that there is sufficient capital to support our underlying risks and to achieve management’s regulatory and credit rating objectives. |
In January 2011, as required by FINMA, Credit Suisse implemented BCBS’s “Revisions to the Basel II market risk framework” (Basel II.5), for FINMA regulatory capital purposes, with some additional requirements for large Swiss banks known as “Swiss Finish”. |
> Refer to “Capital management” in III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet – Treasury management in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2011 for further information on Credit Suisse’s capital management framework, regulatory capital and risk-weighted assets (RWA). |
![]() |
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 the balance sheet and the 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. 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 positions that determines the RWA. |
Risk measurement models |
Within the Basel II.5 framework for FINMA regulatory capital purposes, we implemented new risk measurement models, including an incremental risk charge and stressed Value-at-Risk (VaR). The incremental risk charge is a regulatory capital charge for default and migration risk on positions in the trading books and is intended to complement additional standards being applied to the VaR modeling framework, including stressed VaR. Stressed VaR replicates a VaR calculation on the Group’s current portfolio taking into account a one-year observation period relating to significant financial stress and helps reduce the pro-cyclicality of the minimum capital requirements for market risk. |
FINMA, in line with the Bank for International Settlements (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. For the purposes of this measurement, backtesting exceptions are calculated using a subset of actual daily trading revenues that includes only the impact of daily movements in financial market variables such as interest rates, equity prices and foreign exchange rates on the previous night’s positions. In 2Q12, the market risk capital multiplier remained at FINMA and BIS minimum levels and we did not experience an increase in market risk capital. |
> Refer to “Market risk” in Risk management for further information on Credit Suisse’s risk measurement models and backtesting exceptions. |

Leverage ratios |
Both the Group and the Bank must maintain, for FINMA regulatory capital purposes, a minimum leverage ratio of tier 1 capital to total adjusted average assets (on a non-risk-weighted basis) of 3% at the Group and Bank consolidated level and 4% at the Bank on an unconsolidated basis by 2013. |
The leverage ratios for the Group and Bank were 4.7% and 4.3%, respectively, as of the end of 2Q12, stable compared to the end of 1Q12. |
The stable leverage ratios compared to 1Q12 reflected higher tier 1 capital offset by higher adjusted average assets. The adjusted average assets primarily reflected foreign exchange translation impacts. |
Regulatory capital – Group |
Our tier 1 ratio was 16.5% as of the end of 2Q12 compared to 15.6% as of the end of 1Q12, reflecting stable RWA and increased tier 1 capital. Our core tier 1 ratio was 12.5% as of the end of 2Q12 compared to 11.8% as of the end of 1Q12, reflecting stable RWA and higher core tier 1 capital. Our total capital ratio was 20.2% as of the end of 2Q12 compared to 19.2% as of the end of 1Q12. |
Tier 1 capital was CHF 38.5 billion as of the end of 2Q12 compared to CHF 36.7 billion as of the end of 1Q12, reflecting a positive foreign exchange translation impact, net income (excluding the impact of fair value gains/(losses) on Credit Suisse debt, net of tax), a release of the 1Q12 dividend accrual due to the assumption of a 100% scrip dividend to be distributed in shares in 2013, a decrease in the capital deductions 50% from tier 1 and tier 2 relating to low rated securitization tranches and the net effect of share-based compensation. These increases were offset by a reduction in qualifying noncontrolling interests due to the purchase of the minority share in Hedging-Griffo. Tier 2 capital was CHF 8.7 billion as of the end of 2Q12 compared to CHF 8.3 billion as of the end of 1Q12, primarily reflecting the positive foreign exchange translation impact and the decrease in the 50% regulatory capital deductions relating to low rated securitization tranches, partially offset by the regulatory amortization of lower tier 2 instruments. Total eligible capital as of the end of 2Q12 was CHF 47.2 billion compared to CHF 45.0 billion as of the end of 1Q12. |

RWA decreased to CHF 233.7 billion as of the end of 2Q12 compared to CHF 234.4 billion as of the end of 1Q12 primarily reflecting a significant decrease in market risk offset by an increase in operational risk and a foreign exchange translation impact, mainly in credit and market risk. The decrease in market risk was primarily driven by reductions in stressed VaR, mainly due to risk reductions within equities and foreign exchange products, and reductions in incremental risk charge, mainly due to risk reductions across emerging markets and credit products businesses. |
![]() |
The increase in credit risk was primarily related to the foreign exchange translation impact. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in Investment Banking credit risk, primarily driven by a decrease in counterparty risk. Operational risk increased to reflect anticipated changes to our model. The increase is of a similar size as reflected in 1Q12 and has been agreed with our regulators for capital purposes and represents the second part of a 10% regulatory uplift on operational risk RWA. |

Total shareholders’ equity |
Our total shareholders’ equity increased to CHF 34.8 billion as of the end of 2Q12 compared to CHF 33.6 billion as of the end of 1Q12. Total shareholders’ equity was impacted by the issuance of common shares used to settle the scrip dividend and share-based compensation, the impact of foreign exchange-related movements on cumulative translation adjustments and net income. These increases were offset by the dividend payment, the effect of share-based compensation and treasury share purchases and sales. |

Regulatory capital developments and proposals |
The BCBS issued the Basel III framework, with higher minimum capital requirements and new conservation and countercyclical buffers, revised risk-based capital measures, a leverage ratio and liquidity standards. Prior to its issuance, the proposed BCBS framework was endorsed by the Group of Twenty Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors (G-20) in November 2010. Each G-20 nation will need to implement the rules, and stricter or different requirements may be adopted by any G-20 nation. The framework was designed to strengthen the resilience of the banking sector. The new capital standards and capital buffers will require banks to hold more capital, mainly in the form of common equity. The new capital standards will be phased in from January 1, 2013 through January 1, 2019. |
The Swiss “Too Big to Fail” legislation relating to big banks became effective March 1, 2012. The legislation includes capital and liquidity requirements and rules regarding risk diversification and emergency plans designed to maintain systemically important functions even in the event of threatened insolvency. The legislation on capital requirements builds on Basel III, but goes beyond its minimum standards, requiring the Group and the Bank to have common equity of at least 10% of RWA and contingent capital or other qualifying capital of another 9% of RWA by January 1, 2019. |
On June 1, 2012, the Swiss Federal Council adopted implementing ordinances under the “Too Big to Fail” legislation and with regard to the implementation of Basel III into Swiss law. Effective immediately is a supplemental countercyclical buffer of up to 2.5% of RWA which can be activated during periods of excess credit growth and subsequently deactivated by the Federal Council upon request of the Swiss National Bank after consultation with FINMA. Also effective immediately are increased lending standards for new residential mortgages. The remaining ordinance requirements are expected to become effective January 1, 2013, with some being phased in through the end of 2018. Requirements particular to systemically relevant banks, including specific capital, leverage and Recovery and Resolution Plan requirements, will require approval by Parliament, which is expected to vote in September 2012. A final, liquidity-related implementing ordinance under “Too Big to Fail” is expected to be completed in 2013. |
Credit Suisse believes that it can meet the new requirements within the prescribed time frames. |

Capital ratio simulations |
The definitions of regulatory capital and capital ratios mentioned below refer to the Swiss “Too Big to Fail” legislation as determined by FINMA. Ratio calculations based on these capital definitions use projected Basel III year-end 2012 RWA. The expected year-end 2012 ratios are based on a pro-forma calculation assuming successful completion of the announced capital measures and using Bloomberg consensus net income estimate and our Basel III RWA estimates. |
As Basel III will not be implemented before January 1, 2013, we have calculated our Basel III RWA and capital for purposes of this report in accordance with the currently proposed requirements and our current interpretation of such requirements, including relevant assumptions. Changes in the actual implementation of Basel III would result in different numbers from those shown in this report. |
Accordingly, our calculations are based on our current expectations and forecasts about future events, including our ability to utilize net deferred tax assets on net operating losses, our assumption of successful completion of capital measures, analyst consensus forecasts in the case of earnings, and an assumption that dividends will remain constant from the amount paid in respect of 2011 and that the total amount of the dividend to be paid in respect of 2012 will be paid in shares, as well as our current interpretation of proposed requirements. As a result, information with regard to the simulated capital ratios is subject to uncertainties that could cause our actual capital ratios to differ. |
> Refer to “Capital measures” in I – Credit Suisse results – Core Results – Information and developments for further information on capital measures and earnings-related effects announced on July 18, 2012. |
Basel III common equity tier 1 (CET1) ratio simulation |
We updated our earlier simulation to reflect recent developments, including the capital measures announced on July 18, 2012. With regard to Basel III RWA, we increased our earlier guidance for year-end 2012 from CHF 280 billion to CHF 300 billion, which reflects current foreign exchange rates and estimates for Basel III treatment. Compared to Basel II.5 RWA, we now estimate the RWA increase due to Basel III on January 1, 2013 to be CHF 71 billion. We expect substantially all of the Basel III RWA increase to be in the securitized products, global rates, foreign exchange, global credit products and equity derivatives businesses in Investment Banking. We expect to reduce Basel III RWA by January 1, 2013 by approximately CHF 5 billion, primarily in Investment Banking. The RWA reduction reflects our evolving strategy, including the RWA reduction in fixed income. |
> Refer to “Progress on strategy implementation” in I – Credit Suisse results – Core Results – Information and developments. |
As of January 1, 2013, we expect a Basel III CET1 ratio of approximately 13.9%, up from approximately 13.1% as per our 1Q12 simulation. The following presentation is consistent with the phase-in requirements of Basel III. |

Actual net income may differ significantly. 3 As announced on July 18, 2012. Includes CHF 3.8 billion of mandatory and contingent convertible securities, CHF 1.1 billion of strategic divestments, CHF 0.75 billion from the exchange of Adjustable Performance Plan awards, CHF 0.5 billion from real estate sales and CHF 0.2 billion from the sale of the residual stake in Aberdeen Asset Management. Based on a pro-forma calculation assuming successful completion of announced capital actions. Actual results may differ. 4 Under our strategic business plan, business growth will require reallocation of capital, because we are targeting no gross increase in risk-weighted assets. Assumed year-end 2012 goal of CHF 300 billion reflects current foreign exchange rates and estimates for Basel III treatment. Includes Basel III risk-weighted assets (in US dollars) in Investment Banking at or below current levels. |
For the years 2014 – 2018, there will be a five-year (20% per annum) phase in of goodwill and other intangibles and other Basel III capital deductions (e.g., deferred tax assets and participations in financial institutions). Considering the impact of the capital measures announced on July 18, 2012 and assuming fully phased-in goodwill and intangible assets and other capital deductions, the CET1 ratio is estimated to be 8.6% as of January 1, 2013. |

Risk management |
In 2Q12, our utilized economic capital increased 5%, overall position risk increased 8%, average risk management VaR in US dollars decreased 14% and impaired loans increased slightly to CHF 1.8 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 2Q12, there were no changes to the economic capital methodology. |

Key position risk trends |
Position risk for risk management purposes as of the end of 2Q12 increased 8% compared to the end of 1Q12. Excluding the US dollar translation impact, position risk increased 4%, mainly due to increased exposure in Eastern Europe and Asia in emerging markets country event risk, new loans and reduced hedges in Investment Banking in international lending & counterparty exposures and increased mortgage exposures and commercial loans in private banking corporate & retail lending. These increases were partially offset by reduced private equity risk due to asset sales and decreased market value of investments and lower equity derivative exposures in equity trading & investments and lower foreign exchange and credit spread exposures in fixed income trading. |
Compared to the end of 2Q11, position risk for risk management purposes increased 3%. Excluding the US dollar translation impact, position risk decreased 6%, primarily due to lower residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) exposure following sales in real estate & structured assets, lower counterparty risk in Investment Banking in international lending & counterparty exposures, lower private equity and cash equities exposures in equity trading & investments and lower credit spread exposures in fixed income trading. These reductions were partially offset by increased exposures in Latin America and Eastern Europe in emerging markets country event risk and increased mortgage exposures and commercial loans in private banking corporate & retail lending. |
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 portfolio they were designated to hedge.

Utilized economic capital trends |
In 2Q12, our utilized economic capital increased 5%, mainly due to increased position risk. Excluding the US dollar translation impact, utilized economic capital increased 2%. |
For Private Banking, utilized economic capital increased 9%, mainly due to higher emerging markets country event position risk, higher private banking corporate & retail lending position risk and higher owned real estate risk in other risks reflecting updated real estate valuations. |
For Investment Banking, utilized economic capital increased 5%. Excluding the US dollar translation impact, utilized economic capital increased 1%, largely due to increased position risk in fixed income trading, emerging markets country event risk and international lending & counterparty exposures. The increase was partially offset by lower interest rate risk on treasury positions in other risks. |
For Asset Management, utilized economic capital increased 1%. Excluding the US dollar translation impact, utilized economic capital decreased 3%, primarily due to decreased position risk in private equity in equity trading & investments due to asset sales and decreased market value of investments. |
For Corporate Center, lower utilized economic capital reflected 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. The other divisions also engage in trading activities, but to a much lesser extent. 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. As part of this process, we updated our asset class methodology in May 2012 to better capture complex risks for exotic rate products. |
For regulatory capital purposes, we operate under the Basel II.5 market risk framework which includes an incremental risk charge and stressed VaR. |

1 As the maximum and minimum occur on different days for different risk types, it is not meaningful to calculate a portfolio diversification benefit. |
We measure VaR in US dollars, as substantially all market risk relates to Investment Banking. |
Average risk management VaR decreased 14% to USD 64 million from 1Q12. The decrease reflected lower risk across fixed income due to lower market volatility and reduced interest rate exposures. Compared to 2Q11, average risk management VaR decreased 21%, primarily reflecting lower risk across fixed income due to lower market volatility and net sales of RMBS client inventory mainly in 3Q11 and 4Q11. |
Period-end risk management VaR decreased 6% to USD 64 million from 1Q12, mainly reflecting lower market volatility and reduced interest rate exposures. Compared to 2Q11, period-end risk management VaR decreased 25%, also mainly reflecting lower market volatility. |
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 2Q12. |
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 “Capital management” in Treasury management 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 2Q12 with those for 1Q12 and 2Q11. The dispersion of trading revenues indicates the day-to-day volatility in our trading activities. In 2Q12, we had two days of trading losses, compared to no trading loss days in 1Q12. |

Banking portfolios |
We assume non-trading interest rate risk through interest rate-sensitive positions originated by Private Banking 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 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. |
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 8.0 million as of the end of 2Q12, compared to a valuation increase of CHF 7.7 million as of the end of 1Q12. |
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 Private Banking and Investment Banking. 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 creditworthiness of clients and counterparties does not depend on the accounting treatment of the asset or commitment. Adverse changes in the creditworthiness of counterparties of loans held at fair value are reflected in valuation changes reported 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 2011 for further information on credit risk. |
> Refer to “Note 26 – Financial instruments” in III – Condensed consolidated financial statements – unaudited for further information on counterparty credit risk. |
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. |
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 is presented on a risk-based view. 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 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 credit default swaps (CDS) and other hedges, guarantees, insurance and collateral (primarily cash, securities and, to a lesser extent, real estate, mainly for Private Banking 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 exposurerepresents gross credit risk exposure net of risk mitigation. |
– Inventoryrepresents 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 over-the-counter (OTC) contracts (e.g., CDS and total return swaps). |
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. |

On a gross basis, before taking into account risk mitigation, our risk-based sovereign credit risk exposure to Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain as of the end of 2Q12 was EUR 3.9 billion, down from EUR 4.4 billion as of the end of 1Q12. Our net exposure to these sovereigns was EUR 0.4 billion, down from EUR 1.1 billion as of the end of 1Q12. Our non-sovereign risk-based credit risk exposure in these countries as of the end of 2Q12 included net exposure to financial institutions of EUR 2.3 billion and to corporates and other counterparties of EUR 2.6 billion, up from EUR 2.0 billion and EUR 2.4 billion, respectively, as of the end of 1Q12. A significant majority of the purchased credit protection is transacted with banks outside of the disclosed countries; otherwise such credit risk is reflected in the gross and net exposure to each relevant country. |
In 2Q12, the long-term sovereign debt ratings of the countries listed in the table were affected as follows: Standard & Poor’s lowered the rating for Spain by two notches to BBB+ from A and for Greece by two notches to CCC from B–. Fitch lowered Greece’s rating to CCC from B– and Spain’s to BBB from A. Moody’s downgraded Spain to Baa3 from A3. The rating changes did not have a significant impact on the Group’s financial condition, result of operations, liquidity or capital resources. |

Loan exposure |
Compared to the end of 1Q12, gross loans increased CHF 7.5 billion to CHF 240.2 billion. In Private Banking, gross loans were CHF 203.3 billion, slightly up from 1Q12, mainly reflecting increases in commercial and industrial loans, residential mortgages and consumer finance and the US dollar translation impact across the loan portfolio. Gross loans in Investment Banking increased 7% to CHF 36.8 billion, mainly reflecting the US dollar translation impact and increases in loans to financial institutions and governments and public institutions. |
Gross impaired loans increased slightly to CHF 1.8 billion as of the end of 2Q12, mainly due to an increase in potential problem loans in Private Banking and increases in restructured loans and non-performing loans in Investment Banking. In Private Banking, an increase in non-interest-earning loans was due to reclassifications from non-performing loans. A portion of the impaired loans is economically hedged by insurance and other risk mitigation, including CDS. |
We recorded a net provision for credit losses of CHF 25 million in 2Q12, compared to a net provision of CHF 34 million in 1Q12, with a net provision of CHF 39 million in Private Banking and a net release of CHF 14 million in Investment Banking. |
> Refer to “Private Banking” and “Investment Banking” in I – Credit Suisse results for further information. |
Compared to the end of 2Q11, gross loans increased 9%. An increase in Private Banking was primarily due to higher commercial and industrial loans, residential mortgages and loans to the real estate sector and the US dollar translation impact. In Investment Banking, the increase was mainly related to the US dollar translation impact and increased loans to governments and public institutions, partially offset by a decrease in loans to the real estate sector and lower commercial and industrial loans. Gross impaired loans increased 8%, as increases in potential problem loans and non-performing loans in Private Banking were offset by decreases across most impaired loan categories in Investment Banking. |

Balance sheet and off-balance sheet |
Total assets were CHF 1,043.5 billion, total liabilities were CHF 1,001.4 billion and total equity was CHF 42.1 billion. Both total assets and total liabilities were up 4% for the quarter, driven in both cases by the foreign exchange translation impact and an increase from operating activities. 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 1,043.5 billion as of the end of 2Q12, up CHF 43.4 billion, or 4%, from the end of 1Q12, driven by the foreign exchange translation impact and an increase from operating activities. Excluding the foreign exchange translation impact, total assets increased CHF 10.6 billion. |
Compared to the end of 1Q12, central bank funds sold, securities purchased under resale agreements and securities borrowing transactions increased CHF 34.8 billion, or 18%, primarily driven by increases in resale and stock borrowing positions. Cash and due from banks increased CHF 9.6 billion, or 11%, mainly driven by increases in central bank holdings. Brokerage receivables increased CHF 7.6 billion, or 18%, mainly reflecting increased client-flow business and open trades. Net loans increased CHF 7.5 billion, or 3%, primarily from higher commercial and industrial loans and residential mortgages in Private Banking and higher loans to financial institutions in Investment Banking. Trading assets decreased CHF 16.5 billion, or 6%, driven by decreases in equity securities across most businesses. All other assets were stable at CHF 143.9 billion, as an increase in other assets was offset by a decrease in securities received as collateral. |
Total liabilities were CHF 1,001.4 billion as of the end of 2Q12, up CHF 42.2 billion, or 4%, from the end of 1Q12, driven by the foreign exchange translation impact and an increase from operating activities. Excluding the foreign exchange translation impact, total liabilities increased CHF 9.0 billion. |
Compared to the end of 1Q12, central bank funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions increased CHF 21.8 billion, or 13%, mainly driven by increases in repurchase agreements. Brokerage payables increased CHF 8.3 billion, or 12%, mainly due to increases in margin lending and open trades. Customer deposits increased CHF 7.7 billion, or 3%, primarily due to the foreign exchange translation impact and a growth in the customer deposit base. Due to banks increased CHF 2.3 billion, or 6%, primarily driven by an increase in demand deposits from commercial banks. Trading liabilities increased CHF 1.3 billion, or 1%, primarily due to the foreign exchange translation impact, partially offset by a decrease in short trading positions. Long-term debt decreased CHF 0.8 billion, or 1%, mainly reflecting decreases in senior debt. All other liabilities increased CHF 1.6 billion, or 1%, including increases of CHF 2.9 billion in short-term borrowings and CHF 2.3 billion in other liabilities and a decrease of CHF 3.6 billion in obligations to return securities received as collateral. |

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements – unaudited |
Note 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, 2011, included in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2011. |
> Refer to “Note 1 – Summary of significant accounting policies” in V – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2011 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, except with respect to the additional disclosures on fair value of financial instruments, loans, allowance for loan losses and credit quality, derivatives and hedging activities, investment securities, guarantees and commitments, assets pledged or assigned, and transfers of financial assets and VIEs. These disclosures will be included in the Financial Report 2Q12 to be published on the Group’s website and filed with the SEC on or about August 7, 2012. The presentation of the 1Q12 consolidated statements of operations and consolidated balance sheet, the 2Q12, 1Q12 and 2Q11 consolidated statements of changes in equity and the 2Q11 consolidated balance sheet 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. |
Note 2 Recently issued accounting standards |
Recently adopted 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 2011 for a description of accounting standards adopted in 2011. |
ASC Topic 220 – Comprehensive Income |
In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-12, “Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05” (ASU 2011-12), an update to Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 220 – Comprehensive Income. The amendment delays the effective date of those changes in ASU 2011-05 that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments. ASU 2011-12 was effective upon issuance and its adoption did not impact the Group’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. |
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (ASU 2011-05), an update to ASC Topic 220 – Comprehensive Income. ASU 2011-05 provides the entity with an option to present total comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 on January 1, 2012 did not impact the Group’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. |
ASC Topic 350 – Intangibles – Goodwill and Other |
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, “Testing Goodwill for Impairment” (ASU 2011-08), an update to ASC Topic 350 – Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. The amendments in ASU 2011-08 permit an entity to qualitatively assess whether the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying amount. Based on the qualitative assessment, if an entity determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying amount, then the entity must perform step one of the goodwill impairment test by calculating the fair value of the reporting unit and comparing the fair value to the carrying amount of the reporting unit. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then the entity is required to perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any. The adoption of ASU 2011-08 on January 1, 2012 did not have a material impact on the Group’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. |
ASC Topic 820 – Fair Value Measurement |
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs” (ASU 2011-04), an update to ASC Topic 820 – Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in ASU 2011-04 include clarifications about the application of existing fair value measurement requirements and changes to principles for measuring fair value. ASU 2011-04 also requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. The adoption of ASU 2011-04 on January 1, 2012 did not have a material impact on the Group’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. |
ASC Topic 860 – Transfers and Servicing |
In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-03, “Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements” (ASU 2011-03), an update to ASC Topic 860 – Transfers and Servicing. Current guidance prescribes when an entity may or may not recognize a sale upon the transfer of financial assets subject to repurchase agreements. That determination is based, in part, on whether the entity has maintained effective control over the transferred financial assets. ASU 2011-03 removes from the assessment of effective control the criterion requiring the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets. The adoption of ASU 2011-03 on January 1, 2012 did not have a material impact on the Group’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. |
Standards to be adopted in future periods |
ASC Topic 210 – Balance Sheet |
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (ASU 2011-11), an update to ASC Topic 210 – Balance Sheet. ASU 2011-11 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. An entity should provide the required disclosures retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. ASU 2011-11 is an update for presentation and as such will not impact the Group’s financial position, results of operation or cash flows. |
ASC Topic 360 – Property, Plant and Equipment |
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-10, “Derecognition of in Substance Real Estate – a Scope Clarification, a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force” (ASU 2011-10), an update to ASC Topic 360 – Property, Plant and Equipment. ASU 2011-10 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after June 15, 2012. The Group is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2011-10 on the Group’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. |
Note 3 Business developments and subsequent events |
In June 2012, the Group announced the completion of its acquisition of HSBC’s private banking business in Japan, which includes expanded coverage through additional offices in Osaka and Nagoya. |
On July 18, 2012, we announced a number of measures to accelerate the strengthening of the Group’s capital position in light of the current regulatory and market environment These measures include the placement of CHF 3.8 billion in Subordinated Mandatory and Contingent Convertible Securities (“MACCS”) due March 29, 2013, issued at a fixed conversion price of CHF 16.29 per share. The MACCS will be accounted for as debt until conversion, when they will be reclassified to equity, utilizing authorized capital. |
Additionally, Credit Suisse and an investor agreed to bring forward to July 31, 2012, the exchange date for CHF 1.7 billion of their holdings of hybrid tier 1 instruments to be exchanged into tier 1 BCNs. This acceleration will not have any impact on reported balance sheet balances, as BCNs have been recognized on the balance sheet since the BCN commitment agreement in February 2011. Also announced on July 18, 2012, the Group launched a voluntary exchange offer, under which employees can elect to convert any future cash payments from the Adjustable Performance Plan awards for shares at a fixed conversion price of CHF 16.29. |
The Group acquired the remaining equity interests in Hedging-Griffo Investimentos S.A. as contemplated under the existing option arrangements previously disclosed. The costs associated with the acquisition will be covered by the issuance of mandatory convertible securities as announced on July 18, 2012. |
In July 2012, the Group sold its remaining holding of 7.0% in Aberdeen, resulting in an approximate gain of CHF 140 million to be recognized in 3Q12. |
Note 4 Discontinued operations |
The Group did not discontinue any material operations in 2Q12. |

The Group is a global financial services company domiciled in Switzerland. The Group’s business consists of three segments: Private Banking, Investment Banking and Asset Management. The three segments are complemented by Shared Services, which provides support in the areas of finance, operations, human resources, legal and compliance, risk management and IT. Corporate Center includes parent company operations such as Group financing, expenses for projects sponsored by the Group and certain expenses that have not been allocated to the segments. In addition, Corporate Center includes consolidation and elimination adjustments required to eliminate intercompany revenues and expenses. |
Beginning in 1Q12, the Group fully reflects the fair value impact from movements in credit spreads on its long-term vanilla debt and DVA on certain structured notes liabilities in the Corporate Center and discontinued the amortization in the segments of the past fair value gains on long-term vanilla debt, primarily in Investment Banking. DVA on certain structured notes liabilities was previously recorded in the Investment Banking segment and is now recorded in the Corporate Center in order to aggregate all credit-spread impacts on the Group’s funding instruments and to reflect that these impacts are driven by the creditworthiness of the Group rather than the Investment Banking segment or the issuer. Prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation and such reclassifications had no impact on the Group’s net income/(loss) or total shareholders’ equity. |

The required disclosures for investment securities will be included in the Financial Report 2Q12, which will be published on the Group’s website and filed with the SEC on or about August 7, 2012. |
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. |
Note 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 and Investment Banking, that 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 2011 for further information on loans, allowance for loan losses, credit quality and impaired loans. |
The required disclosures on loan purchases, reclassifications and sales, credit quality and impaired loans will be included in the Financial Report 2Q12, which will be published on the Group’s website and filed with the SEC on or about August 7, 2012. |

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. |

Note 20 Tax |
The tax charge of CHF 311 million recorded in 2Q12 mainly reflected the impact of the geographical mix of results, an increase in valuation allowances against deferred tax assets resulting from current quarter losses in the UK and in Asia Pacific, partially offset by the impact of an advanced pricing agreement with tax authorities and a release of contingency reserves of CHF 16 million for uncertain tax positions, mainly as a result of the expiration of relevant statutes of limitations. |
Overall, net deferred tax assets increased CHF 334 million to CHF 8,625 million as of the end of 2Q12 compared to 1Q12. The increase in net deferred tax assets primarily related to foreign exchange translation gains of CHF 365 million. |
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 June 30, 2012, the Group had accumulated undistributed earnings from foreign subsidiaries of CHF 8.7 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 and inquiries with the tax authorities in a number of jurisdictions, including the US, the UK and Switzerland. Although the timing of the completion of these audits is uncertain, it is reasonably possible that some of these audits and inquiries will be resolved within 12 months of the reporting date. It is reasonably possible that there will be a decrease between zero and CHF 16 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 – 2008; the UK – 2006; the US – 2006; Japan – 2005; and the Netherlands – 2005. |

1 Total net amount is computed as the gross amount less any participations. 2 Excludes derivative contracts with certain active commercial and investment banks and certain other counterparties, as such contracts can be cash settled and the Group had no basis to conclude it was probable that the counterparties held, at inception, the underlying instruments. 3 Collateral for derivatives accounted for as guarantees is not significant. |
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, 2011 to June 30, 2012 was CHF 0.7 billion. These deposit insurance guarantees were reflected in other guarantees. For the period July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2013, the Group’s share in the deposit insurance guarantee program based on FINMA’s estimate will be stable at CHF 0.7 billion. |
PAF2 transaction |
The Group’s results are impacted by the risk of counterparty defaults and the potential for changes in counterparty credit spreads related to derivative trading activities of the Group. In 1Q12, the Group entered into the PAF2 transaction to hedge the counterparty credit risk of a referenced portfolio of derivatives and their credit spread volatility. The hedge covers approximately USD 12 billion notional amount of expected positive exposure from counterparties of the Group, and is addressed in three layers: (i) first loss (USD 0.5 billion), (ii) mezzanine (USD 0.8 billion) and (iii) senior (USD 11 billion). The first loss element is retained by the Group and actively managed through normal credit procedures. The mezzanine layer was hedged by transferring the risk of default and counterparty credit spread movements to eligible employees in the form of PAF2 awards, as part of their deferred compensation granted in the annual compensation process. |
The Group has purchased protection on the senior layer to hedge against the potential for future counterparty credit spread volatility. This was executed through a CDS, accounted for at fair value, with a third-party entity. The Group also has a credit support facility with this entity that requires the Group to provide funding to it in certain circumstances. Under the facility, the Group may be required to fund payments or costs related to amounts due by the entity under the CDS, and any funded amount may be settled by the assignment of the rights and obligations of the CDS to the Group. The credit support facility is accounted for on an accrual basis and is reflected in credit guarantees and similar instruments in the “Guarantees” table. The transaction overall is a four-year transaction, but can be extended to nine years. The Group has the right to terminate the third-party transaction for certain reasons, including certain regulatory developments. |
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. |
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 28 – Litigation” for further information. |
Repurchase claims on residential mortgage loans sold that are, or become during the reporting period, subject to arbitration or litigation proceedings, 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. |
Additional information on representations and warranties on residential mortgage loans sold will be included in the Financial Report 2Q12, which will be published on the Group’s website and filed with the SEC on or about August 7, 2012. |
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 31 – Guarantees and commitments in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2011 for a description of these guarantees. |

Note 25 Transfers of financial assets and variable interest entities |
The required disclosures for transfers of financial assets and VIEs will be included in the Financial Report 2Q12, which will be published on the Group’s website and filed with the SEC on or about August 7, 2012. |
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 are 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) and RMBS 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 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 collateralized debt obligations (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. |
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 32 – Transfer of financial assets and variable interest entities in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2011 for a detailed description of continuing involvement in transferred financial assets. |
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 “Transfer of financial assets” in V – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group – Note 32 – Transfer of financial assets and variable interest entities in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2011 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. Effective January 1, 2010, the Group was deemed the primary beneficiary of Alpine and consolidated it in accordance with new guidance. |
The overall average maturity of the conduit’s outstanding CP was approximately 25 days and 18 days as of 2Q12 and 4Q11, respectively. As of 2Q12 and 4Q11, Alpine had the highest short-term ratings from Moody’s and Dominion Bond Rating Service and was rated A-1 by Standard & Poors and F-1 by Fitch. The majority of Alpine’s purchased assets were highly rated loans or receivables in the consumer sector, including auto loans or leases, student loans and credit card receivables. As of 2Q12 and 4Q11, 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 2.6 years and 2.5 years as of 2Q12 and 4Q11, 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. |
Note 26 Financial instruments |
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 33 – Financial instruments” in V – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2011 for further information on the Group’s concentrations of credit risk. |
Fair value measurement |
The required disclosures for the fair value of financial instruments will be included in the Financial Report 2Q12, which will be published on the Group’s website and filed with the SEC on or about August 7, 2012. |
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 credit valuation adjustments) 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. |
Note 27 Assets pledged or assigned |
The required disclosures for assets pledged or assigned will be included in the Financial Report 2Q12, which will be published on the Group’s website and filed with the SEC on or about August 7, 2012. |
The Group received collateral in connection with resale agreements, securities lending and loans, derivative transactions and margined broker loans. A substantial portion of the collateral received by the Group was sold or repledged in connection with repurchase agreements, securities sold not yet purchased, securities borrowings and loans, pledges to clearing organizations, segregation requirements under securities laws and regulations, derivative transactions and bank loans. |
Note 28 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 judicial, regulatory and arbitration proceedings, related provisions and estimate of the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses that are not covered by existing provisions are described inNote 37 – Litigation in V – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2011 and updated in quarterly reports and 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 litigation provisions (including fees and expenses of external lawyers and other service providers) in connection with certain judicial, regulatory and arbitration proceedings when losses, additional losses or ranges of loss are probable and reasonably estimable. The Group reviews its judicial, regulatory and arbitration 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. Further increases or releases of litigation provisions may be necessary in the future as developments in such litigations, claims or proceedings warrant. |
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 these matters. In presenting the condensed consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates regarding the outcome of these matters, records a provision and takes a charge to income when losses with respect to such matters are probable and can be reasonably estimated. 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 litigation, claim or proceeding, the progress of the matter, the advice of legal counsel, the Group’s defenses and its experience in similar cases or proceedings, as well as its assessment of matters, including settlements, involving other defendants in similar or related cases or proceedings. Factual and legal determinations must be made before a loss, additional losses or ranges of loss can be reasonably estimated for any proceeding or matter. |
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 reasonably possible losses. 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 the complexity of the proceedings, the novelty of some of the claims, the early stage of the proceedings and 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 is zero to CHF 2.7 billion. |
In 2Q12, the Group recorded net litigation provisions of CHF 29 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 proceedings, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Group’s financial condition. However, in light of the uncertainties involved in such proceedings, including those proceedings brought by regulators or other governmental authorities, the ultimate resolution of such proceedings may exceed current litigation provisions and any excess may be material to 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, 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. |
Class action litigations |
On June 29, 2012, the US District Court for the Southern District of New York (SDNY) granted plaintiff’s motion for class certification in Tsereteli v. Residential Asset Securitization Trust 2006-A8, in which Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (CSS LLC) is the sole underwriter defendant related to a USD 632 million IndyMac RMBS offering, of which CSS LLC underwrote USD 603 million of certificates. |
Individual investor actions |
In actions brought in connection with being an RMBS issuer, underwriter and/or other participant, CSS LLC, and in some instances certain of its affiliates, have been named as defendants, along with other financial institutions in: two actions brought by Landesbank Baden-Württemberg and affiliated entities, on March 8, 2012 and June 11, 2012, in the Supreme Court for the State of New York, New York County (SCNY), in which claims against CSS LLC relate to approximately USD 200 million of RMBS at issue (100% of the total amount at issue against all banks); one action brought by Watertown Savings Bank on April 27, 2012 in the SCNY, in which claims against CSS LLC and its affiliates relate to an unstated amount of RMBS at issue; one action brought by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), as receiver for Citizens National Bank and Strategic Capital Bank on May 18, 2012 in the SDNY, in which claims against CSS LLC and its affiliates relate to approximately USD 28 million of RMBS at issue (approximately 20% of the USD 141 million at issue against all banks); and one action brought by Phoenix Light SF Ltd. and affiliated entities on May 22, 2012 in the SCNY, in which claims against CSS LLC and its affiliates relate to approximately USD 466 million of RMBS at issue (approximately 15% of the USD 3.2 billion at issue against all banks). On May 16, 2012 and May 30, 2012, HSH Nordbank AG and affiliated entities and Sealink Funding Limited respectively filed a notice of discontinuance to discontinue their respective claims against CSS LLC and its applicable affiliates and certain other banks. On June 28, 2012, Asset Management Fund and affiliated entities filed a notice of discontinuance to discontinue their claims in one of their two actions against CSS LLC and its affiliates and certain other banks, reducing the RMBS at issue relating to claims against CSS LLC and its affiliates by USD 145 million to approximately USD 93 million. On June 28, 2012, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), as conservator for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, in an amended complaint to one of its five actions against CSS LLC relating to an aggregate of approximately USD 5.5 billion of RMBS at issue, reduced the RMBS at issue by approximately USD 230 million; the five actions together now relate to approximately USD 5.2 billion. On July 2, 2012, IKB Deutsche Industriebank AG and affiliated entities filed a consolidated complaint relating to their claims against CSS LLC and its affiliates, reducing the RMBS at issue by approximately USD 143 million to approximately USD 97 million. |
Repurchase litigations |
On July 3, 2012, the FHFA, as conservator for Freddie Mac, on behalf of the Trustee of Home Equity Asset Trust 2006-5, filed an action against DLJ Mortgage Capital, Inc. (DLJ) in the SCNY. The action alleges that DLJ breached representations and warranties in respect of certain mortgage loans and failed to repurchase such mortgage loans as required under the applicable agreements. No damages amount is alleged. |
LIBOR-related matters |
Regulatory authorities in a number of jurisdictions, including the US, UK, EU and Switzerland, have for an extended period of time been conducting investigations into the setting of LIBOR and other reference rates with respect to a number of currencies, as well as the pricing of certain related derivatives. These ongoing investigations have included information requests from regulators regarding LIBOR-setting practices and reviews of the activities of various financial institutions, including the Group. The Group, which is a member of three LIBOR rate-setting panels (US Dollar LIBOR, Swiss Franc LIBOR and Euro LIBOR), is cooperating fully with these investigations. |
In particular, it has been reported that regulators are investigating whether financial institutions engaged in an effort to manipulate LIBOR, either individually or in concert with other institutions, in order to improve market perception of these institutions’ financial health and/or to increase the value of their proprietary trading positions. In response to regulatory inquiries, Credit Suisse commissioned a review of these issues. To date, Credit Suisse has seen no evidence to suggest that it is likely to have any material exposure in connection with these issues. |
In addition, members of the US Dollar LIBOR panel, including Credit Suisse, have been named in various civil lawsuits filed in the US. |
Note 29 Subsidiary guarantee information |
Five wholly-owned finance subsidiaries of the Group, 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. |

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 2012 and beyond; |
– the direct and indirect impacts of continuing 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, as well as the information set forth in “Risk factors” in the Appendix of our Annual Report 2011. |
