2Q22 results
In 2Q22, Credit Suisse reported a net loss attributable to shareholders of CHF 1,593 million compared to net income attributable to shareholders of CHF 253 million in 2Q21 and a net loss attributable to shareholders of CHF 273 million in 1Q22. In 2Q22, Credit Suisse reported a loss before taxes of CHF 1,173 million, compared to income before taxes of CHF 813 million in 2Q21 and a loss before taxes of CHF 428 million in 1Q22. Adjusted loss before taxes in 2Q22 was CHF 442 million compared to adjusted income before taxes of CHF 1,313 million in 2Q21 and CHF 300 million in 1Q22.
Net revenues
In 2Q22, we reported net revenues of CHF 3,645 million, which decreased 29% compared to 2Q21, primarily reflecting lower net revenues in the Investment Bank, Wealth Management and Asset Management. The decrease in the Investment Bank was driven by significantly reduced capital markets revenues, including mark-to-market losses in leveraged finance, and lower fixed income sales and trading revenues, partially offset by increased equity sales and trading revenues as 2Q21 included a loss of CHF 493 million related to Archegos Capital Management (Archegos) in prime services. The decrease in Wealth Management reflected lower other revenues, including a loss on the equity investment in Allfunds Group of CHF 168 million, lower recurring commissions and fees and lower transaction- and performance-based revenues, partially offset by higher net interest income. The decrease in Asset Management reflected lower performance, transaction and placement revenues and reduced management fees.
Compared to 1Q22, net revenues decreased 17%, primarily reflecting lower net revenues in the Investment Bank, mainly driven by reduced capital markets and sales and trading revenues due to challenging operating conditions, including high levels of volatility and a seasonal decrease in client activity.
Provision for credit losses
In 2Q22, provision for credit losses of CHF 64 million were mainly related to CHF 55 million in the Investment Bank and CHF 18 million in the Swiss Bank.
Total operating expenses
Compared to 2Q21, total operating expenses of CHF 4,754 million increased 10%, primarily reflecting a 26% increase in general and administrative expenses, mainly reflecting higher litigation provisions. The Group recorded net litigation provisions of CHF 497 million in 2Q22, primarily relating to developments in a number of previously disclosed legal matters, mainly in the Corporate Center and the Investment Bank. Compensation and benefits increased 2%, mainly due to higher salaries, partially offset by lower discretionary compensation expenses and lower deferred compensation awards. 2Q22 included restructuring expenses of CHF 80 million and a goodwill impairment of CHF 23 million. Adjusted total operating expenses in 2Q22 were CHF 4,198 million, an increase of 5% compared to CHF 4,008 million in 2Q21.
Compared to 1Q22, total operating expenses decreased 4%, mainly reflecting a 7% decrease in general and administrative expenses, primarily reflecting lower litigation provisions. Compensation and benefits decreased 3%, mainly driven by lower discretionary compensation expenses, partially offset by higher salaries. Adjusted total operating expenses were stable compared to 1Q22.
Income tax
We previously calculated the provision for income tax expense or benefit during interim reporting periods by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to the income/loss of the year to date reporting period. However, the historical method could sometimes create distortions in the effective tax rate for the period. Since small changes in the estimated income or loss for 2022 would result in significant changes in the estimated annual effective tax rate, we concluded the actual year to date effective tax rate to be the best estimate of the annual effective tax rate. We have therefore used a year to date effective tax rate (discrete method) to calculate income taxes for the period ended June 30, 2022.
In 2Q22, the income tax expense of CHF 419 million resulted in an effective tax rate of (35.7)% for the quarter. The main drivers of the effective tax rate were the impact of the change in estimate of the annual effective tax rate, valuation allowances relating to current period earnings, non-deductible litigation provisions, the non-deductible funding costs and shortfall tax charges on share-based compensation delivered in this period. This is partially offset by the impact of geographical mix of results. Overall, net deferred tax assets decreased CHF 435 million to CHF 2,824 million during 2Q22, primarily driven by the change in accounting estimate.
Regulatory capital
As of the end of 2Q22, our Bank for International Settlements (BIS) common equity tier 1 (CET1) ratio was 13.5% and our risk-weighted assets (RWA) were CHF 274.4 billion.
Investor Deep Dive
In June 2022, Credit Suisse held an Investor Deep Dive to inform investors about its key priorities and achievements across the Risk, Compliance and Technology & Operations functions as well as in the Wealth Management business.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine
In response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, many countries across the world imposed severe sanctions against Russia’s financial system and on Russian government officials and business leaders, and these sanctions have been expanded several times. The Group continues to assess the impact of the sanctions already imposed, and potential future escalations, on its exposures and client relationships. As of June 30, 2022, the Group had a net credit exposure to Russia, after specific allowances and provisions for credit losses and valuation adjustments, of CHF 244 million, primarily related to corporates, individuals and the sovereign. In addition, Russian subsidiaries had a net asset value of approximately CHF 0.3 billion as of June 30, 2022. In 2Q22, CHF 7.2 billion of assets under management were reclassified due to the imposed sanctions, and less than 3% of assets under management in our wealth management-related businesses are linked to Russian clients. The Group has further reduced Russia related exposures in 2Q22 as the market and counterparty situation evolved, and remaining exposures continue to be subject to ongoing monitoring and management. The Group notes that these developments may continue to affect its financial performance, including credit loss estimates and potential asset impairments. The Executive Board is notified of any material developments and escalations, in relation to the Russia crisis response.
Supply chain finance funds matter
As previously reported, in early March 2021, the boards of four supply chain finance funds (SCFF) managed by certain Group subsidiaries decided to suspend redemptions and subscriptions of those funds to protect the interests of the funds’ investors, to terminate the SCFF and to proceed to their liquidation. Credit Suisse Asset Management (Schweiz) AG (CSAM) acts as the portfolio manager of the SCFF.
In June 2022, CSAM reached an agreement with Bluestone Resources (Bluestone) and its shareholders for the payment of cash to noteholders, including the SCFF. This agreement includes, among other things: a two-year standstill period, during which no party may take, commence or initiate any action to exercise or enforce any claim in this context against any other party; recurring payments from Bluestone as well as recurring payments from its owners, Bluestone CEO James C. Justice III’s family, of up to USD 320 million to all noteholders; and the sharing by noteholders and the Justice family in the proceeds from any sale of the Bluestone entities, in which noteholders would receive the remaining portion of the USD 320 million not yet paid, plus 50% of the sale proceeds, up to a certain amount.
Beginning in 4Q21, we introduced a fee waiver program for clients impacted by this matter wherein certain commissions and fees arising from current and future business transactions may be reimbursed on a quarterly basis, provided certain conditions are met. We incurred negative revenues of CHF 26 million in 2Q22 relating to this fee waiver program, primarily in Wealth Management.
Significant negative consequences of the supply chain finance funds and Archegos matters
There can be no assurance that any additional losses, damages, costs and expenses, as well as any further regulatory and other investigations and actions or any further downgrade of our credit ratings, will not be material to us, including from any impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations, prospects, liquidity or capital position. For example, we have suffered and may continue to suffer reputational harm and reductions in certain areas of our business, such as a slowdown in net new asset generation in Asset Management and other divisions, attributable, at least in part, to these matters, and this harm and these reductions can continue to affect our business overall, including our ability to attract and retain customers, clients, investors and employees and to conduct business transactions with our counterparties. Furthermore, steps we have taken beginning in 2021, or plan to take, with respect to risk-reducing measures and capital surcharges, including in response to the Archegos and SCFF matters, have had and can also be expected to continue to have an adverse effect on our results of operations in certain areas of our business.

Performance measures
Credit Suisse measures firm-wide returns against total shareholders’ equity and tangible shareholders’ equity, a non-GAAP financial measure also known as tangible book value. Tangible shareholders' equity is calculated by deducting goodwill and other intangible assets from total shareholders' equity as presented in our balance sheet. In addition, Credit Suisse also measures the efficiency of the firm and its divisions with regard to the usage of regulatory capital. Regulatory capital is calculated as the average of 13.5% of RWA and 4.25% of leverage exposure and return on regulatory capital, a non-GAAP financial measure, is calculated using income/(loss) after tax and assumes a tax rate of 30% for periods prior to 2020 and 25% from 2020 onward. For the Investment Bank, return on regulatory capital is based on US dollar denominated numbers. Return on regulatory capital excluding certain items included in our reported results is calculated using results excluding such items, applying the same methodology. Adjusted return on regulatory capital excluding certain items included in our reported results is calculated using results excluding such items, applying the same methodology.
The Group’s economic profit is a non-GAAP financial measure, calculated using income/(loss) before tax applying a 25% tax rate less a capital charge. The capital charge is calculated based on the sum of (i) a cost of capital applied to the average regulatory capital of each of the four divisions; and (ii) a 10% cost of capital applied to the residual of the Group’s average tangible equity less the sum of the regulatory capital of the four divisions. The applied cost of capital for the divisions is 8% for Wealth Management, the Swiss Bank and Asset Management and 12% for the Investment Bank. Adjusted economic profit excluding certain items included in our reported results is calculated using results excluding such items, applying the same methodology.
Management believes that these metrics are meaningful as they are measures used and relied upon by industry analysts and investors to assess valuations and capital adequacy.

Reconciliation of adjustment items
Results excluding certain items included in our reported results are non-GAAP financial measures. Following the reorganization implemented at the beginning of 2022, we have amended the presentation of our adjusted results. Management believes that such results provide a useful presentation of our operating results for purposes of assessing our Group and divisional performance consistently over time, on a basis that excludes items that management does not consider representative of our underlying performance. Provided below is a reconciliation of our adjusted results to the most directly comparable US GAAP measures.

Results by region
A significant portion of our business requires inter-regional coordination in order to facilitate the needs of our clients. The methodology for allocating our results by region is dependent on management judgment. For Wealth Management, results are allocated based on the management reporting structure of our relationship manager organization. For the Investment Bank, trading results are allocated based on where the risk is primarily managed, while also reflecting certain revenue transfers to regions where the relevant sales teams and clients are domiciled.
For Swiss Bank, results are all generated within Switzerland. For Asset Management, results are allocated based on where the product or fund is primarily managed. Operating expenses for the Investment Bank and Asset Management follow the above assumptions, while direct non-compensation and corporate function expenses are allocated to the regions applying relative base salaries as a proxy. Regional results reflect the same adjustments as shown in our divisional results, some of which may be too small to be reflected in the “Results by region” table, which is presented in CHF billions.

In 2Q22, we reported a loss before taxes of CHF 96 million compared to income before taxes of CHF 770 million in 2Q21. Net revenues of CHF 1,266 million decreased 34% compared to 2Q21, primarily reflecting the impact from our equity investment in Allfunds Group.
2Q22 results
In 2Q22, we reported a loss before taxes of CHF 96 million, a decrease of CHF 866 million compared to 2Q21. Net revenues of CHF 1,266 million decreased 34%, mainly reflecting lower other revenues, lower recurring commissions and fees and lower transaction- and performance-based revenues, partially offset by higher net interest income. Other revenues in 2Q22 included a loss on the equity investment in Allfunds Group of CHF 168 million and a loss on the equity investment in SIX Swiss Exchange (SIX) of CHF 9 million. Other revenues in 2Q21 included a gain on the equity investment in Allfunds Group of CHF 317 million and an insurance claim refund of CHF 49 million relating to a major litigation case pertaining to the settled external asset manager matter. Year-to-date losses through the end of 2Q22 on the equity investment in Allfunds Group totalled CHF 521 million compared to gains of CHF 461 million in the same period last year. We recorded a release of provision for credit losses of CHF 11 million compared to a release of provision for credit losses of CHF 24 million in 2Q21. Total operating expenses of CHF 1,373 million increased 18%, mainly driven by higher general and administrative expenses and higher compensation and benefits.
Compared to 1Q22, income before taxes increased CHF 261 million. Net revenues increased 8%, mainly reflecting higher other revenues and higher net interest income, partially offset by lower transaction- and performance-based revenues and lower recurring commissions and fees. Other revenues in 2Q22 included the loss on the equity investment in Allfunds Group and the loss on the equity investment in SIX. Other revenues in 1Q22 included a loss on the equity investment in Allfunds Group of CHF 353 million. We recorded a release of provision for credit losses of CHF 11 million compared to a provision for credit losses of CHF 24 million in 1Q22. Total operating expenses decreased 9%, mainly reflecting lower general and administrative expenses, partially offset by higher compensation and benefits.
Capital and leverage metrics
As of the end of 2Q22, we reported RWA of CHF 62.2 billion, an increase of CHF 1.9 billion compared to the end of 1Q22, mainly due to the foreign exchange impact and movements in risk levels, primarily in credit risk. The increase in movements in risk levels reflected a change in allocations as a result of a transfer of certain businesses between Wealth Management and the Investment Bank, which more than offset a decrease in lending and equity exposures in Wealth Management. Leverage exposure of CHF 234.5 billion was CHF 1.1 billion higher compared to the end of 2Q21, reflecting the foreign exchange impact and higher business usage, largely offset by a decrease in high-quality liquid assets (HQLA).

1 Of which CHF 20 million is reflected in other revenues and CHF 5 million is reflected in transaction- and performance-based revenues. |
Net revenues
Compared to 2Q21, net revenues of CHF 1,266 million decreased 34%, reflecting lower other revenues, lower recurring commissions and fees and lower transaction- and performance-based revenues, partially offset by higher net interest income. Other revenues in 2Q22 included a loss on the equity investment in Allfunds Group of CHF 168 million and a loss on the equity investment in SIX of CHF 9 million. Other revenues in 2Q21 included a gain on the equity investment in Allfunds Group of CHF 317 million and an insurance claim refund of CHF 49 million relating to a major litigation case pertaining to the settled external asset manager matter. Recurring commissions and fees of CHF 408 million decreased 14%, reflecting lower revenues across all categories, including lower investment product fees, the negative impact from the SCFF fee waiver program and lower security account and custody services fees. Transaction- and performance-based revenues of CHF 478 million decreased 11%, mainly driven by lower brokerage and product issuing fees and lower corporate advisory fees from integrated solutions, partially offset by higher revenues from Global Trading Solutions (GTS). These revenues included mark-to-market losses on our fair valued portfolio in 2Q22 related to our APAC Financing Group. Net interest income of CHF 558 million increased 4%, mainly reflecting higher deposit margins, due to higher interest rates, on higher average deposit volumes, partially offset by higher loan margins on lower average loan volumes.

Total operating expenses
Compared to 2Q21, total operating expenses of CHF 1,373 million increased 18%, mainly driven by higher general and administrative expenses and higher compensation and benefits. General and administrative expenses of CHF 505 million increased 43%, mainly driven by higher allocated Group-wide technology, risk and compliance costs, a write-off of certain IT-related assets and higher litigation provisions, partially offset by lower professional services fees. Compensation and benefits of CHF 774 million increased 9%, mainly driven by higher allocated corporate function costs and higher salary expenses, primarily due to headcount-related growth investments.
Compared to 1Q22, total operating expenses decreased 9%, mainly reflecting lower general and administrative expenses, partially offset by higher compensation and benefits. General and administrative expenses decreased 24%, mainly reflecting lower litigation provisions, partially offset by the write-off of certain IT-related assets.

Margins
Our gross margin was 73 basis points in 2Q22, a decrease of 28 basis points compared to 2Q21, driven by lower other revenues, lower recurring commissions and fees and lower transaction- and performance-based revenues, partially offset by an 8% decrease in average assets under management and higher net interest income. Compared to 1Q22, our gross margin was eight basis points higher, reflecting higher other revenues, higher net interest income and a 4% decrease in average assets under management, partially offset by lower transaction- and performance-based revenues and lower recurring commissions and fees.
> Refer to “Assets under management” for further information.
Our net margin was negative six basis points in 2Q22, a decrease of 46 basis points compared to 2Q21, mainly reflecting lower net revenues, primarily from the impact from our equity investment in Allfunds Group, and higher total operating expenses, partially offset by the 8% decrease in average assets under management. Compared to 1Q22, our net margin was 14 basis points higher, reflecting lower total operating expenses and higher net revenues, mainly from the impact from our equity investment in Allfunds Group, and lower provisions for credit losses.
As of the end of 2Q22, assets under management of CHF 661.5 billion were CHF 45.5 billion lower compared to the end of 1Q22, driven by unfavorable market movements, structural effects, including de-risking measures related to the sanctions imposed in connection with the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and net asset outflows of CHF 1.4 billion, partially offset by favorable foreign exchange-related movements. Net asset outflows of CHF 1.4 billion reflected outflows mainly from the Middle East and European businesses, including client deleveraging, partially offset by inflows from the Asia Pacific and Latin American businesses.

In 2Q22, we reported a loss before taxes of CHF 1,116 million compared to CHF 16 million in 2Q21. Net revenues of CHF 1,109 million decreased 40% compared to 2Q21, reflecting significantly reduced capital markets revenues due to volatile market conditions, the impact of de-risking and reduced capital usage.
2Q22 results
In 2Q22, we reported a loss before taxes of CHF 1,116 million compared to CHF 16 million in 2Q21. Net revenues of CHF 1,109 million decreased 40% compared to 2Q21, driven by significantly reduced capital markets revenues, including mark-to-market losses of CHF 235 million in leveraged finance, and lower fixed income sales and trading revenues, partially offset by increased equity sales and trading revenues, as 2Q21 included a loss of CHF 493 million related to Archegos in prime services. Total operating expenses of CHF 2,170 million increased 18% compared to 2Q21, mainly reflecting higher general and administrative expenses, primarily relating to higher litigation provisions, as well as higher compensation and benefits. Adjusted operating expenses increased 5% compared to 2Q21.
Compared to 1Q22, income before taxes decreased CHF 1,240 million. Net revenues decreased 43%, reflecting reduced capital markets and sales and trading revenues due to challenging operating conditions, including high levels of volatility and a decrease in client activity. We recorded provision for credit losses of CHF 55 million compared to a release of provision for credit losses of CHF 156 million in 1Q22, which included a release of CHF 155 million pertaining to an assessment of the future recoverability of receivables related to Archegos. Total operating expenses increased 10%, mainly reflecting higher general and administrative expenses, primarily relating to higher litigation provisions. Adjusted operating expenses decreased 2% compared to 1Q22.
Capital and leverage metrics
As of the end of 2Q22, RWA of USD 85.5 billion decreased USD 7.1 billion compared to the end of 1Q22, driven by business reductions, including the impact of resizing our prime services franchise and the benefit from hedges. The decrease also reflected a change in credit risk allocations as a result of a transfer of certain businesses between Wealth Management and the Investment Bank. Internal model and parameter updates in market risk decreased primarily driven by time series updates as COVID-19 volatility rolled out of the two-year VaR window. Leverage exposure of USD 349.0 billion decreased USD 15.0 billion compared to the end of 1Q22, primarily due to business reductions, particularly in prime services.

Fixed income sales and trading
In 2Q22, fixed income revenues of CHF 600 million decreased 28% compared to 2Q21, reflecting lower revenues across emerging markets, securitized products and global credit products, partially offset by increased macro revenues. Market conditions were characterized by continued geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainties resulting in higher levels of volatility for equity and interest rates, widened credit spreads, high levels of inflation and increased energy prices. Emerging markets revenues decreased significantly, driven by lower trading and financing activity. Securitized products revenues decreased compared to a strong prior year, driven by reduced non-agency trading activity and lower asset finance revenues, partially offset by higher agency trading activity. In addition, global credit products revenues decreased, reflecting lower leveraged finance and investment grade trading revenues as lower primary issuance led to reduced trading volumes. These declines were partially offset by higher macro products revenues, driven by increased revenues in our foreign exchange and rates businesses due to increased client activity and high levels of volatility.
Compared to 1Q22, fixed income revenues decreased 19%, reflecting lower revenues across securitized products, global credit products and emerging markets and driven by a decrease in client activity. Securitized products revenues decreased, driven by reduced non-agency and agency trading activity. Global credit products revenues decreased, primarily due to lower leveraged finance trading activity driven by increased volatility. Emerging markets revenues decreased, driven by reduced financing activity across Latin America and Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), partially offset by increased trading activity in EMEA. In addition, macro revenues decreased slightly as higher revenues in our foreign exchange business due to increased volatility were more than offset by reduced rates revenues in Asia.
Equity sales and trading
In 2Q22, equity sales and trading revenues of CHF 330 million increased significantly compared to negative revenues in 2Q21 which included a loss of CHF 493 million related to Archegos in prime services. Excluding this loss, equity sales and trading revenues declined 29% compared to 2Q21, reflecting lower prime services and cash equities results, partially offset by higher equity derivatives revenues. Excluding the Archegos loss in 2Q21, prime services revenues decreased, consistent with a decline in client balances, in light of our strategy to resize our franchise. In addition, cash equities revenues decreased due to lower secondary trading revenues, particularly in Europe. These declines were partially offset by higher equity derivatives revenues, reflecting increased flow and structured equity derivatives trading activity due to high levels of volatility.
Compared to 1Q22, equity sales and trading revenues decreased 35%, reflecting lower revenues across equity derivatives, prime services and cash equities trading activity and driven by a decrease in client activity. Equity derivatives revenues decreased, primarily driven by lower structured equity derivatives trading revenues. Prime services revenues declined significantly, consistent with a decline in client balances in light of our strategy to resize our franchise. In addition, cash equities revenues slightly decreased, primarily driven by reduced trading activity in EMEA, partially offset by higher trading revenues in Asia Pacific and the Americas.
Capital markets
In 2Q22, capital markets revenues of CHF 38 million decreased 96% compared to 2Q21, reflecting significantly lower street fees across products and challenging market conditions, including high levels of volatility. Debt capital markets revenues significantly decreased, reflecting reduced issuance activity, particularly in leveraged finance, and mark-to-market losses of CHF 235 million in leveraged finance due to challenging market conditions. In addition, equity capital markets revenues decreased compared to a strong prior year, driven by significantly lower initial public offering (IPO) and follow-on issuance activity.
Compared to 1Q22, capital markets revenues decreased 91%, driven by significantly lower debt capital markets activity, reflecting reduced leveraged finance issuance activity and the mark-to-market losses. In addition, equity capital markets revenues decreased, driven by lower IPO issuance activity due to high levels of market volatility.
Advisory and other fees
In 2Q22, advisory revenues of CHF 183 million increased 44% compared to 2Q21, driven by higher revenues from completed mergers and acquisitions (M&A) transactions.
Compared to 1Q22, advisory revenues decreased 10%, reflecting lower revenues from completed M&A transactions.
Provision for credit losses
In 2Q22, we recorded provision for credit losses of CHF 55 million compared to CHF 19 million in 2Q21 and compared to a release of provision for credit losses of CHF 156 million in 1Q22. The provision for credit losses in 2Q22 included higher non-specific provisions for expected credit losses. The provision for credit losses in 2Q21 was driven by a charge of CHF 70 million, or USD 77 million, related to Archegos, partially offset by the release of non-specific provisions for expected credit losses. 1Q22 included a release of CHF 155 million pertaining to an assessment of the future recoverability of receivables related to Archegos.
Total operating expenses
In 2Q22, total operating expenses of CHF 2,170 million increased 18% compared to 2Q21, primarily reflecting higher general and administrative expenses as well as higher compensation and benefits. General and administrative expenses of CHF 878 million increased 31%, primarily driven by higher litigation provisions, mainly in connection with a previously disclosed matter concerning compliance with records preservation requirements relating to business communications sent over unapproved electronic messaging channels. Compensation and benefits of CHF 1,090 million increased 10%, reflecting the impact of deferred fixed cash compensation granted to certain employees in the Americas and Asia Pacific, and higher allocated Group-wide technology, risk and compliance costs, partially offset by lower deferred compensation expenses from prior year awards. In 2Q22, we incurred restructuring expenses of CHF 60 million.
Compared to 1Q22, total operating expenses increased 10%, primarily reflecting higher general and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased 27%, mainly due to the higher litigation provisions. Compensation and benefits were stable, as lower discretionary compensation expenses were offset by the impact of deferred fixed cash compensation granted to certain employees in the Americas and Asia Pacific.
In 2Q22, we reported income before taxes of CHF 402 million and net revenues of CHF 1,050 million. Income before taxes decreased 10% and 15% compared to 2Q21 and 1Q22, respectively.
2Q22 results
In 2Q22, income before taxes of CHF 402 million decreased 10% compared to 2Q21. Net revenues of CHF 1,050 million increased 3%, with increases across all major revenue categories. Other revenues in 2Q22 included gains on the sale of real estate of CHF 13 million and a loss on the equity investment in SIX of CHF 10 million. Provision for credit losses was CHF 18 million compared to a release of provision for credit losses of CHF 21 million in 2Q21. Total operating expenses of CHF 630 million increased 5%, mainly reflecting higher general and administrative expenses.
Compared to 1Q22, income before taxes decreased 15%. Net revenues decreased 5%, mainly driven by lower other revenues, partially offset by higher net interest income. Other revenues in 2Q22 included the gains on the sale of real estate and the loss on the equity investment in SIX. Other revenues in 1Q22 included gains on the sale of real estate of CHF 84 million. Provision for credit losses was CHF 18 million compared to CHF 23 million in 1Q22. Total operating expenses increased 2%, mainly reflecting higher general and administrative expenses, partially offset by lower compensation and benefits.
Capital and leverage metrics
As of the end of 2Q22, we reported RWA of CHF 71.6 billion, CHF 1.1 billion higher compared to the end of 1Q22, mainly related to internal model and parameter updates in credit risk as well as a foreign exchange impact. Leverage exposure of CHF 243.6 billion decreased CHF 4.1 billion compared to the end of 1Q22, primarily reflecting lower business usage.

Net revenues
Compared to 2Q21, net revenues of CHF 1,050 million increased 3%, with increases across all major revenue categories. Net interest income of CHF 595 million increased 3%, primarily driven by higher deposit margins on stable average deposit volumes, partially offset by significantly lower treasury revenues.

Total operating expenses
Compared to 2Q21, total operating expenses of CHF 630 million increased 5%, mainly reflecting higher general and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses of CHF 229 million increased 17%, mainly driven by higher allocated Group-wide technology, risk and compliance costs as well as higher advertising and marketing expenses.

Margins
Our gross margin was 74 basis points in 2Q22, an increase of three basis points compared to 2Q21, primarily reflecting higher net interest income, a 1.6% decrease in average assets under management and higher recurring commissions and fees. Compared to 1Q22, our gross margin was one basis point lower, mainly driven by lower other revenues, partially offset by a 3.2% decrease in average assets under management and higher net interest income.
> Refer to “Assets under management” for further information.
Our net margin was 28 basis points in 2Q22, a decrease of three basis points compared to 2Q21, driven by higher provision for credit losses and higher total operating expenses, partially offset by higher net revenues. Compared to 1Q22, our net margin was four basis points lower, mainly driven by lower net revenues.
As of the end of 2Q22, assets under management of CHF 544.5 billion were CHF 38.0 billion lower compared to the end of 1Q22, driven by unfavorable market movements and net asset outflows. Net asset outflows of CHF 1.6 billion were mainly driven by outflows in our institutional clients business.

In 2Q22, we reported income before taxes of CHF 30 million and net revenues of CHF 311 million. Income before taxes decreased 75% and 43% compared to 2Q21 and 1Q22, respectively.
2Q22 results
In 2Q22, we reported income before taxes of CHF 30 million, which decreased 75% compared to 2Q21, driven by reduced net revenues, partially offset by lower total operating expenses. Net revenues of CHF 311 million decreased 25% compared to 2Q21, driven in particular by lower performance, transaction and placement revenues and reduced management fees. Total operating expenses of CHF 279 million decreased 6% compared to 2Q21, reflecting reduced compensation and benefits, general and administrative expenses and commission expenses.
Compared to 1Q22, income before taxes decreased 43%, reflecting lower net revenues, partially offset by lower total operating expenses. Net revenues decreased 14%, driven primarily by lower performance, transaction and placement revenues and reduced management fees. Total operating expenses decreased 9%, reflecting reduced general and administrative expenses, compensation and benefits and commission expenses.
Capital and leverage metrics
As of the end of 2Q22, we reported RWA of CHF 8.6 billion, an increase of CHF 0.5 billion compared to the end of 1Q22. Leverage exposure of CHF 2.9 billion increased CHF 0.1 billion compared to the end of 1Q22.

Net revenues
Compared to 2Q21, net revenues of CHF 311 million decreased 25%, reflecting lower performance, transaction and placement revenues, management fees and investment and partnership income. Performance, transaction and placement revenues of CHF 5 million decreased 94%, mainly reflecting investment-related losses in 2Q22, and lower performance fees and placement fees. Performance fees in 2Q21 benefitted in particular from the sale of a private equity investment in a fund. Management fees of CHF 258 million decreased 9%, reflecting a combination of lower average assets under management and increased investor bias towards passive products. Investment and partnership income of CHF 48 million decreased 9%, mainly due to lower equity participation income, partially offset by increased investment related gains related to a single investment.
Compared to 1Q22, net revenues decreased 14% driven by lower performance, transaction and placement revenues and lower management fees, partially offset by increased investment and partnership income. Performance, transaction and placement revenues decreased 89%, primarily driven by higher investment-related losses and lower performance fees. Management fees decreased 5%, mainly reflecting lower average assets under management. Investment and partnership income increased 12%, mainly due to higher investment-related gains and equity participation income, partially offset by reduced performance fees.
Total operating expenses
Compared to 2Q21, total operating expenses of CHF 279 million decreased 6%, driven by lower compensation and benefits, general and administrative expenses and commission expenses. Compensation and benefits of CHF 158 million decreased 5%, reflecting higher salary expenses in 2Q21, primarily due to the departure of an alternative investment fund team and the sale of a private equity investment in a fund, partially offset by higher deferred compensation expenses from prior-year awards in 2Q22. General and administrative expenses of CHF 96 million decreased 4%, mainly driven by lower professional services fees, reflecting the release of certain expense provisions relating to the wind down and administration of the SCFF, partially offset by higher allocated Group-wide technology, risk and compliance costs.
Compared to 1Q22, total operating expenses decreased 9%, driven by reduced general and administrative expenses, compensation and benefits and commission expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased 16%, mainly driven by lower professional services fees, reflecting the release of certain expense provisions relating to the wind down and administration of the SCFF. Compensation and benefits decreased 4%, primarily driven by reduced discretionary compensation expenses, partially offset by increased deferred compensation expenses from prior-year awards.
As of the end of 2Q22, assets under management of CHF 427.0 billion were CHF 35.0 billion lower compared to the end of 1Q22, mainly reflecting unfavorable market movements. Net asset outflows of CHF 6.1 billion were driven by outflows from traditional investments, primarily related to outflows in fixed income and index solutions, and alternative investments, primarily related to outflows in credit and commodities, partially offset by inflows from investments and partnerships, primarily related to an emerging markets joint venture. We have suffered and may continue to suffer reputational harm attributable, at least in part, to recent events, which, together with the declining market environment, has contributed to a slowdown in net new asset generation and is expected to continue to negatively affect our ability to generate net new assets.

Corporate Center composition
Corporate Center includes parent company operations such as Group financing, expenses for projects sponsored by the Group, including costs associated with the evolution of our legal entity structure to meet developing and future regulatory requirements, and certain other expenses and revenues that have not been allocated to the segments. Corporate Center further includes consolidation and elimination adjustments required to eliminate intercompany revenues and expenses.
Treasury results include the impact of volatility in the valuations of certain central funding transactions such as structured notes issuances and swap transactions. Treasury results also include additional interest charges from transfer pricing to align funding costs to assets held in the Corporate Center and legacy funding costs. The Asset Resolution Unit is separately presented within our Corporate Center disclosures, including related asset funding costs. Certain activities not linked to the underlying portfolio, such as legacy funding costs, legacy litigation provisions, a specific client compliance function and noncontrolling interests without significant economic interest are recorded in the Corporate Center and are not reflected in the Asset Resolution Unit. Other revenues primarily include required elimination adjustments associated with trading in own shares, treasury commissions charged to divisions, the cost of certain hedging transactions executed in connection with the Group’s RWA and valuation hedging impacts from long-dated legacy deferred compensation and retirement programs mainly relating to former employees.
Compensation and benefits include fair value adjustments on certain deferred compensation plans not allocated to the segments and fair value adjustments on certain other long-dated legacy deferred compensation and retirement programs mainly relating to former employees.
2Q22 results
In 2Q22, we reported a loss before taxes of CHF 393 million compared to a loss before taxes of CHF 506 million in 2Q21 and CHF 719 million in 1Q22. Negative net revenues of CHF 91 million in 2Q22 were primarily driven by negative treasury results. Total operating expenses of CHF 302 million were primarily driven by litigation provisions of CHF 243 million.

Capital and leverage metrics
As of the end of 2Q22, we reported RWA of CHF 50.4 billion, an increase of CHF 1.6 billion compared to the end of 1Q22, primarily driven by the foreign exchange impact. Leverage exposure was CHF 48.3 billion as of the end of 2Q22, a decrease of CHF 10.1 billion compared to the end of 1Q22, mainly due to an accounting change and a decrease in our centrally held balance of HQLA.
Net revenues
In 2Q22, we reported negative net revenues of CHF 91 million compared to negative net revenues of CHF 94 million in 2Q21 and CHF 173 million in 1Q22.
Negative treasury results of CHF 155 million in 2Q22 primarily reflected losses of CHF 69 million relating to fair value money market instruments, losses of CHF 66 million with respect to structured notes volatility and losses of CHF 19 million relating to fair value option volatility on own debt. In 2Q21, negative treasury results of CHF 116 million primarily reflected losses of CHF 63 million relating to hedging volatility and losses of CHF 52 million with respect to structured notes volatility. In 1Q22, negative treasury results of CHF 254 million primarily reflected losses of CHF 77 million relating to hedging volatility, losses of CHF 58 million relating to fair value option volatility on own debt, losses of CHF 50 million with respect to structured notes volatility, losses of CHF 38 million relating to fair value money market instruments and losses of CHF 30 million relating to funding activities, excluding Asset Resolution Unit-related asset funding costs.
In the Asset Resolution Unit, we reported net revenues of CHF 22 million in 2Q22 compared to negative net revenues of CHF 43 million in 2Q21 and net revenues of CHF 39 million in 1Q22. Compared to 2Q21, the movement was driven by higher revenues from portfolio assets and lower asset funding costs. Compared to 1Q22, the movement was driven by lower revenues from portfolio assets and higher asset funding costs.
In 2Q22, other revenues of CHF 42 million decreased CHF 23 million compared to 2Q21, mainly reflecting the negative valuation impact from long-dated legacy deferred compensation and retirement programs, partially offset by the elimination of gains from trading in own shares. Compared to 1Q22 other revenues were stable.
Total operating expenses
Total operating expenses of CHF 302 million decreased CHF 110 million compared to 2Q21, mainly reflecting a decrease in compensation and benefits, partially offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses. Compensation and benefits decreased CHF 117 million, mainly driven by decreases in deferred compensation expenses from prior-year awards and expenses for long-dated legacy deferred compensation and retirement programs. General and administrative expenses of CHF 297 million increased CHF 28 million, reflecting higher litigation provisions. 2Q22 included litigation provisions of CHF 243 million, mainly related to legacy legal matters, compared to CHF 223 million in 2Q21.
Compared to 1Q22, total operating expenses decreased CHF 245 million, mainly reflecting decreases in general and administrative expenses and compensation and benefits. General and administrative expenses decreased CHF 189 million, mainly reflecting lower litigation provisions. 1Q22 included litigation provisions of CHF 435 million, mainly legacy litigation provisions in connection with mortgage-related matters. Compensation and benefits decreased CHF 50 million, mainly driven by decreases in deferred compensation expenses from prior-year awards and in discretionary compensation expenses.

2Q22 results
As of the end of 2Q22, assets under management of CHF 1,453.9 billion decreased CHF 101.0 billion compared to the end of 1Q22. The decrease was driven by unfavorable market movements, structural effects and net asset outflows of CHF 7.7 billion, partially offset by foreign exchange-related movements. Structural effects included certain de-risking measures, outflows and reclassifications of CHF 7.2 billion related to the sanctions imposed in connection with the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Net asset outflows of CHF 7.7 billion in 2Q22 mainly reflected outflows across the following businesses. Net asset outflows of CHF 6.1 billion in Asset Management were driven by outflows from traditional investments, primarily related to outflows in fixed income and index solutions, and alternative investments, primarily related to outflows in credit and commodities, partially offset by inflows from investments and partnerships, primarily related to an emerging markets joint venture. Net asset outflows of CHF 1.6 billion in Swiss Bank were mainly driven by outflows in the institutional clients business. Net asset outflows of CHF 1.4 billion in Wealth Management reflected outflows mainly from the Middle East and European businesses, including client deleveraging, partially offset by inflows from the Asia Pacific and Latin American businesses.

Additional financial metrics Balance sheet
As of the end of 2Q22, total assets of CHF 727.4 billion decreased 2% compared to 1Q22, reflecting lower operating activities, partially offset by a positive foreign exchange translation impact. Excluding the foreign exchange translation impact, total assets decreased CHF 20.8 billion.
Litigation
The Group’s estimate of the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses that are not covered by existing provisions for certain proceedings for which the Group believes an estimate is possible was zero to CHF 1.6 billion as of the end of 2Q22.
Total shareholders’ equity
Credit Suisse’s total shareholders’ equity was CHF 45.8 billion as of the end of 2Q22 compared to CHF 44.4 billion as of the end of 1Q22. Total shareholders’ equity’ was positively impacted by gains on fair value elected liabilities relating to credit risk, foreign exchange-related movements on cumulative translation adjustments and an increase in the share-based compensation obligation, partially offset by a net loss attributable to shareholders, dividends paid and losses in cash flow hedges.
Liquidity coverage ratio
Our average liquidity coverage ratio was 191% as of the end of 2Q22, a decrease compared to 196% at the end of 1Q22. The ratio reflects a continued conservative liquidity position, including ensuring that the Group’s branches and subsidiaries meet applicable local liquidity requirements.
Net Stable Funding Ratio
The net stable funding ratio was 132% as of the end of 2Q22 compared to 128% as of the end of 1Q22.
Capital metrics
The CET1 ratio was 13.5% as of the end of 2Q22 compared to 13.8% as of the end of 1Q22. The tier 1 ratio was 19.2% as of the end of 2Q22 compared to 19.5% as of the end of 1Q22. The total capital ratio was 19.4% as of the end of 2Q22 compared to 19.7% as of the end of 1Q22.
CET1 capital was CHF 37.0 billion as of the end of 2Q22, a 2% decrease compared to CHF 37.7 billion as of the end of 1Q22, mainly due to the net loss attributable to shareholders, partially offset by a positive foreign exchange impact and a regulatory adjustment of deferred tax assets on net operating losses. Additional tier 1 capital was CHF 15.7 billion as of the end of 2Q22, stable compared to the end of 1Q22. Total eligible capital was CHF 53.2 billion as of the end of 2Q22, stable compared to the end of 1Q22.
RWA were CHF 274.4 billion as of the end of 2Q22, stable compared the end of 1Q22, as the foreign exchange impact was offset by movements in risk levels and internal model and parameter updates, mainly in the Investment Bank.
Leverage metrics
The BIS tier 1 leverage ratio was 6.1% as of the end of 2Q22, with a BIS CET1 component of 4.3%.

Credit Suisse AG – parent company
Credit Suisse AG (Bank parent company)’s Swiss CET1 ratio decreased from 11.8% as of 1Q22 to 11.4% as of the end of 2Q22, primarily driven by net losses and an adverse foreign exchange impact, despite capital distributions from its UK participations.
In addition to the capital distributions already received in 2022, further significant capital distributions to the Bank parent company are expected from the US and UK participations by the end of 2022, subject to regulatory approval.

The Group has not finalized its 2Q22 Financial Report and the Group’s independent registered public accounting firm has not completed its review of the condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) for the period. Accordingly, the financial information contained in this Earnings Release is subject to completion of quarter-end procedures, which may result in changes to that information. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods to conform to the current presentation.
For purposes of this Earnings Release, unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “Credit Suisse”, “the Group”, “we”, “us” and “our” mean Credit Suisse Group AG and its consolidated subsidiaries. The business of Credit Suisse AG, the direct bank subsidiary of the Group, is substantially similar to the Group, and these terms are used to refer to both when the subject is the same or substantially similar. The term “the Bank” is used when referring to Credit Suisse AG and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Information referenced in this Earnings Release, whether via website links or otherwise, is not incorporated into this Earnings Release.
Credit Suisse is subject to the Basel framework, as implemented in Switzerland, as well as Swiss legislation and regulations for systemically important banks (Swiss Requirements) (in each case, subject to certain phase-in periods), which include capital, liquidity, leverage and large exposure requirements and rules for emergency plans designed to maintain systemically relevant functions in the event of threatened insolvency. Credit Suisse adopted the BIS leverage ratio framework, as issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and implemented in Switzerland by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority FINMA.
References to phase-in and look-through included herein refer to Basel requirements and Swiss Requirements. Phase-in reflects that for the years 2013 – 2021, there is a phase-out of certain capital instruments. Look-through assumes the full phase-out of certain capital instruments.
Unless otherwise noted, leverage exposure is based on the BIS leverage ratio framework and consists of period-end balance sheet assets and prescribed regulatory adjustments. The tier 1 leverage ratio and CET1 leverage ratio are calculated as BIS tier 1 capital and CET1 capital, respectively, divided by period-end leverage exposure. Swiss leverage ratios are measured on the same period-end basis as the leverage exposure for the BIS leverage ratio.
We may not achieve all of the expected benefits of our strategic initiatives. Factors beyond our control, including but not limited to the market and economic conditions (including macroeconomic and other challenges and uncertainties, for example, resulting from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine), changes in laws, rules or regulations and other challenges discussed in our public filings, could limit our ability to achieve some or all of the expected benefits of these initiatives.
The Group’s estimate of the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses that are not covered by existing provisions which is discussed above relates only to those proceedings for which the Group believes an estimate is possible and which are discussed in the litigation note to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Group’s Annual Report on Form 20-F and updated in its quarterly reports (including the Group 2Q22 Financial Report that is scheduled to be released on July 29, 2022). It is inherently difficult to determine whether a loss is probable or even reasonably possible or to estimate the amount of any loss or loss range for many of the Group’s legal proceedings. The Group’s aggregate litigation provisions include estimates of losses, additional losses or ranges of loss for proceedings for which such losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. The Group does not believe that it can estimate an aggregate range of reasonably possible losses for certain of its proceedings because of their complexity, the novelty of some of the claims, the early stage of the proceedings, the limited amount of discovery that has occurred and/or other factors. For additional details, see the litigation note to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Group’s Annual Report on Form 20-F and in each of its quarterly Financial Reports.

1 Diversification benefit represents the reduction in risk that occurs when combining different, not perfectly correlated risk types in the same portfolio and is measured as the difference between the sum of the individual risk types and the risk calculated on the combined portfolio. |
2 As the maximum and minimum occur on different days for different risk types, it is not meaningful to calculate a portfolio diversification benefit. |
