Introduction and basis for preparation
Scope of Basel III Pillar 3 disclosures
The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (the BCBS) Basel III capital adequacy framework consists of three complementary pillars. Pillar 1 provides a framework for measuring minimum capital requirements for the credit, market, operational and non-counterparty-related risks faced by banks. Pillar 2 addresses the principles of the supervisory review process, emphasizing the need for a qualitative approach to supervising banks. Pillar 3 requires banks to publish a range of disclosures, mainly covering risk, capital, leverage, liquidity and remuneration.
This report provides Pillar 3 disclosures for the UBS Group and prudential key figures and regulatory information for UBS AG standalone, UBS Switzerland AG standalone, UBS Europe SE consolidated and UBS Americas Holding LLC consolidated in the respective sections under “Significant regulated subsidiaries and sub-groups.”
This Pillar 3 Report has been prepared in accordance with Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) Pillar 3 disclosure requirements (FINMA Circular 2016/1 “Disclosure – banks”) as revised on 8 December 2021, the underlying BCBS guidance “Revised Pillar 3 disclosure requirements” issued in January 2015, the “Frequently asked questions on the revised Pillar 3 disclosure requirements” issued in August 2016, the “Pillar 3 disclosure requirements – consolidated and enhanced framework” issued in March 2017 and the subsequent “Technical Amendment – Pillar 3 disclosure requirements – regulatory treatment of accounting provisions” issued in August 2018.
As UBS is considered a systemically relevant bank (an SRB) under Swiss banking law, UBS Group AG and UBS AG are required to comply with regulations based on the Basel III framework as applicable to Swiss SRBs on a consolidated basis.
Local regulators may also require the publication of Pillar 3 information at a subsidiary or sub-group level. Where applicable, these local disclosures are provided under “Holding company and significant regulated subsidiaries and sub-groups” at ubs.com/investors.
› Refer to the “Capital management” section of our first quarter 2023 report, available under “Quarterly reporting” at ubs.com/investors, for more information about capital and other regulatory information as of 31 March 2023 for UBS Group AG consolidated, and to the “Capital management” section of the UBS AG first quarter 2023 report, available under “Quarterly reporting” at ubs.com/investors, for more information about capital and other regulatory information for UBS AG consolidated
Significant regulatory developments, disclosure requirements and other changes
The BCBS has published new frequently asked questions and a consultation on technical amendments
On 30 March 2023, the BCBS published several proposals for technical amendments to the finalized Basel III rules to help promote the consistent interpretation of the Basel Framework. The amendments relate to, among other matters, the standardized approach to operational risk, the disclosure standards for credit valuation adjustment risk and the calculation of indicator scores for global systemically important banks. Comments on the proposed amendments are asked to be submitted by 15 May 2023. In addition, the BCBS finalized five frequently asked questions, covering operational risk-related topics relevant for the finalized Basel III rules and liquidity coverage ratio- and net stable funding-related topics relevant for the currently applicable Basel Framework.
Other developments
Acquisition of Credit Suisse
Following discussions jointly initiated by the Swiss Federal Department of Finance (the FDF), FINMA and the Swiss National Bank (the SNB), UBS Group AG and Credit Suisse Group AG entered into a merger agreement on 19 March 2023 that provides for the acquisition of Credit Suisse Group AG by UBS Group AG.

Capital returns
At the Annual General Meeting (the AGM) on 5 April 2023, the shareholders approved a dividend of USD 0.55 per share. The dividend was paid on 14 April 2023 to shareholders of record on 13 April 2023.
Shares acquired under our 2022 share repurchase program totaled 299m as of 31 March 2023 for a total acquisition cost of USD 5,245m (CHF 5,010m). A new two-year share repurchase program of up to USD 6bn was approved by shareholders at the AGM. However, we have temporarily suspended repurchases under the share repurchase programs due to the anticipated acquisition of Credit Suisse.
› Refer to the “Share information and earnings per share” section of our first quarter 2023 report, available under “Quarterly reporting” at ubs.com/investors, for more information
Material model updates
We began to phase in a risk-weighted asset (RWA) increase for a change in relation to the loss given default (LGD) model for private equity and hedge fund financing trades in the fourth quarter of 2022. This RWA increase is being phased in over four quarters and is expected to be fully implemented by the third quarter of 2023. In the first quarter of 2023, credit risk RWA increased by USD 0.8bn due to the aforementioned change.
Furthermore, the first quarter of 2023 included an increase of USD 0.5bn related to an update to the LGD model for corporate clients and financial institutions.
Frequency and comparability of Pillar 3 disclosures
FINMA has specified the reporting frequency for each disclosure, as outlined in the “Introduction and basis for preparation” section of our 31 December 2022 Pillar 3 Report, available under “Pillar 3 disclosures” at ubs.com/investors.
In line with the FINMA-specified disclosure frequency and requirements for disclosure with regard to comparative periods, we provide quantitative comparative information as of 31 December 2022 for disclosures required on a quarterly basis. Where specifically required by FINMA and / or the BCBS, we disclose comparative information for additional reporting dates.

Key metrics of the first quarter of 2023
The KM1 and KM2 tables below are based on Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) Basel III rules. The KM2 table includes a reference to the total loss-absorbing capacity (TLAC) term sheet, published by the Financial Stability Board (the FSB). The FSB provides this term sheet at fsb.org/2015/11/total-loss-absorbing-capacity-tlac-principles-and-term-sheet.
Our capital ratios decreased, reflecting a decrease in the common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital and an increase in the risk-weighted assets (RWA), while our leverage ratios increased slightly, reflecting a decrease in the leverage ratio denominator, largely offset by a decrease in the tier 1 capital. Our CET1 capital decreased by USD 0.9bn to USD 44.6bn, mainly as operating profit before tax of USD 1.5bn, with associated current tax expenses of USD 0.5bn, was more than offset by share repurchases of USD 1.3bn and dividend accruals of USD 0.4bn.
Our tier 1 capital decreased by USD 0.6bn to USD 57.7bn, mainly reflecting the aforementioned decrease in the CET1 capital.
The TLAC available as of 31 March 2023 included CET1 capital, additional tier 1 (AT1) and tier 2 capital instruments eligible under the TLAC framework, and non-regulatory capital elements of TLAC. Under the Swiss systemically relevant bank framework, including transitional arrangements, TLAC excludes 45% of the gross unrealized gains on debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income for accounting purposes, which for regulatory capital purposes are measured at the lower of cost or market value. This amount was negligible as of 31 March 2023 but is included as available TLAC in the KM2 table in this section.
Our available TLAC increased by USD 5.0bn to USD 110.3bn, mainly reflecting a USD 5.6bn increase in TLAC-eligible senior unsecured debt, partly offset by the aforementioned decrease in our tier 1 capital. The increase of USD 5.6bn in TLAC-eligible senior unsecured debt was mainly due to 13 new issuances of TLAC-eligible senior unsecured debt, denominated in euro, US dollars, Australian dollars and yen, amounting to an equivalent of USD 8.6bn. This was partly offset by a USD 3.0bn decrease in gone concern capital following the announcement on 22 March 2023 of a tender offer to repurchase two TLAC-eligible senior unsecured debt instruments at their respective re-offer prices (ISIN CH1255915006, with an initial nominal amount of EUR 1.5bn, and ISIN CH1255915014, with an initial nominal amount of EUR 1.25bn, both issued on 17 March 2023). Due to the tender offer, which was made shortly after the instruments’ issue date in light of the anticipated acquisition of Credit Suisse announced on 19 March 2023, the aforementioned instruments were not eligible as gone concern capital as of 31 March 2023. The nominal amounts of the two instruments bought back under the tender offer until 4 April 2023, which was the tender offer’s final expiration deadline, totaled an equivalent of USD 0.8bn. The nominal amounts of instruments not bought back, an equivalent of USD 2.2bn, were eligible again as gone concern capital following the expiration of the tender offer on 4 April 2023.
RWA increased by USD 2.1bn to USD 321.7bn, mainly driven by increases of USD 2.3bn in credit risk and USD 1.6bn in market risk RWA, partly offset by a decrease of USD 1.9bn in counterparty credit risk RWA. The overall increase of USD 2.1bn included an increase of USD 1.0bn related to currency effects.
Leverage ratio exposure decreased by USD 14.0bn to USD 1,014.4bn, mainly driven by lower central bank balances and securities financing transactions, partly offset by increases in trading portfolio and lending assets.
The quarterly average liquidity coverage ratio (the LCR) of UBS Group decreased 1.8 percentage points to 161.9%, remaining above the prudential requirement communicated by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA). The movement in the average LCR was driven by an USD 8.4bn reduction in high-quality liquid assets (HQLA) to USD 230.2bn mainly due to higher net funding needs driven by higher trading portfolio assets, increased loans to customers and lower net cash collateral payables on derivative instruments, partly offset by lower receivables from securities financing transactions and higher debt issued designated at fair value. The decrease in HQLA was largely offset by a USD 3.8bn reduction in net cash outflows to USD 142.2bn, mainly due to lower outflows from customer deposits, partly offset by higher outflows from maturing debt issued.
As of 31 March 2023, the net stable funding ratio (the NSFR) of UBS Group decreased 2.1 percentage points to 117.7%, remaining above the prudential requirement communicated by FINMA. The movement in the NSFR was driven by USD 4.2bn higher required stable funding, mainly due to an increase in trading portfolio assets, and USD 5.2bn lower available stable funding, mainly due to a decrease in customer deposits, partly offset by increased debt securities issued.

Overview of RWA and capital requirements
The OV1 table below provides an overview of our risk-weighted assets (RWA) and the related minimum capital requirements by risk type. The table presented is based on the respective Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) template and empty rows indicate current non-applicability to UBS.
During the first quarter of 2023, our RWA increased by USD 2.1bn to USD 321.7bn, mainly driven by increases of USD 2.3bn in credit risk and USD 1.6bn in market risk RWA, partly offset by a decrease of USD 1.9bn in counterparty credit risk RWA.
Credit risk RWA increased by USD 2.3bn, driven by increases of USD 1.3bn related to model updates, USD 0.9bn related to currency effects, and USD 0.1bn related to asset size and other movements. Model updates resulted in an RWA increase of USD 1.3bn, primarily driven by a USD 0.8bn quarterly phase-in impact related to updates to the loss-given-default (LGD) model for private equity and hedge fund financing trades, and a USD 0.5bn increase related to an update to the LGD model for corporate clients and financial institutions. Asset size and other movements increased by USD 0.1bn, mainly as higher RWA from loans in Personal & Corporate Banking and higher RWA from nostro accounts and the high-quality liquid asset (HQLA) portfolio in Group Functions were almost entirely offset by lower RWA from loans and other commitments in Global Wealth Management.
Market risk RWA increased by USD 1.6bn, mainly driven by an increase in asset size and other movements in the Investment Bank’s Global Markets business. This was partially offset by a decrease related to ongoing parameter updates of our value-at-risk (VaR) model. We are in discussions with FINMA regarding the integration of time decay into the regulatory VaR, which would replace the current add-on.
Counterparty credit risk (CCR) RWA decreased by USD 1.9bn, mainly due to lower RWA on securities financing transactions in the Investment Bank.
The flow tables for credit risk, CCR and market risk RWA in the respective sections of this report provide further details regarding the movements in RWA in the first quarter of 2023.

The split between the sub-components of counterparty credit risk refers to the calculation of the exposure measure. 3 Not applicable until the implementation of the final rules on the minimum capital requirements for market risk (the Fundamental Review of the Trading Book). 4 Includes items subject to threshold deduction treatment that do not exceed their respective threshold and are risk-weighted at 250%. Items subject to threshold deduction treatment include significant investments in common shares of non-consolidated financial institutions (banks, insurance and other financial entities) and deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences. 5 No floor effect, as 80% of our Basel I RWA, including the RWA equivalent of the Basel I capital deductions, does not exceed our Basel III RWA, including the RWA equivalent of the Basel III capital deductions. | ||||||
RWA flow statements of credit risk exposures under IRB
The CR8 table below provides a breakdown of the credit risk RWA movements in the first quarter of 2023 across movement categories defined by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (the BCBS). These categories are described in the “Credit risk” section of our 31 December 2022 Pillar 3 Report, available under “Pillar 3 disclosures” at ubs.com/investors.
Credit risk RWA under the advanced internal ratings-based (A-IRB) approach increased by USD 0.5bn to USD 121.4bn during the first quarter of 2023.
Movements in asset size decreased RWA by USD 4.9bn, mainly due to reductions in Lombard loans and, to a lesser extent, lower balances with central banks.
Movements in asset quality, including changes in risk density across the overall portfolio, increased RWA by USD 3.3bn, mainly due to shifts in the composition of asset classes in the Investment Bank and Personal & Corporate Banking and shifts within the high-quality liquid asset (HQLA) portfolio from cash into securities in Group Functions, partly offset by rating improvements in the Lombard portfolio in Global Wealth Management.
Model updates resulted in an increase of USD 1.3bn, primarily driven by a USD 0.8bn quarterly phase-in impact related to the LGD model for private equity and hedge fund financing trades, and a USD 0.5bn increase related to the LGD model for corporate clients and financial institutions.

RWA flow statements of counterparty credit risk exposures under the internal model method and VaR
The CCR7 table below presents a flow statement explaining changes in CCR RWA determined under the internal model method (IMM) for derivatives and the VaR approach for securities financing transactions (SFTs).
CCR RWA on derivatives under the IMM decreased by USD 0.5bn to USD 15.9bn during the first quarter of 2023, reflecting slight decreases across asset size, asset quality (including changes in risk density across the overall derivatives portfolio) and model updates.
CCR RWA on SFTs under the VaR approach decreased by USD 2.0bn to USD 7.4bn during the first quarter of 2023. Asset size movements contributed to a decrease of USD 1.1bn, mainly due to lower volatility reflected in the VaR model. Asset quality movements, including changes in risk density across the overall SFT portfolio, decreased RWA by USD 1.0bn, mainly due to an improvement in the risk profile in the Investment Bank.

RWA flow statements of market risk exposures under an internal models approach
The three main components that contribute to market risk RWA are VaR, stressed VaR (SVaR) and incremental risk charge. The VaR and SVaR components include the RWA charge for risks not in VaR (RniV).
The MR2 table below provides a breakdown of the movement in market risk RWA in the first quarter of 2023 under an internal models approach across those components, pursuant to the movement categories defined by the BCBS. These categories are described in the “Market risk” section of our 31 December 2022 Pillar 3 Report, available under “Pillar 3 disclosures” at ubs.com/investors.
Market risk RWA increased by USD 1.7bn to USD 14.7bn in the first quarter of 2023, driven by an increase from asset size and other movements in the Investment Bank’s Global Markets business. This was partially offset by a decrease related to ongoing parameter updates of our VaR model. We are in discussions with FINMA regarding the integration of time decay into the regulatory VaR, which would replace the current add-on.
The FINMA VaR multiplier derived from backtesting exceptions for market risk RWA was unchanged compared with the prior quarter, at 3.0.

1 Includes applicable add-ons of 1.44% for risk-weighted assets (RWA) and 0.50% for leverage ratio denominator (LRD). 2 Our minimum CET1 leverage ratio requirement of 3.5% consists of a 1.5% base requirement, a 1.5% base buffer capital requirement, a 0.25% LRD add-on requirement and a 0.25% market share add-on requirement based on our Swiss credit business. 3 Includes outstanding low-trigger loss-absorbing additional tier 1 capital instruments, which are available under the Swiss systemically relevant bank framework to meet the going concern requirements until their first call date. As of their first call date, these instruments are eligible to meet the gone concern requirements. 4 A maximum of 25% of the gone concern requirements can be met with instruments that have a remaining maturity of between one and two years. Once at least 75% of the minimum gone concern requirement has been met with instruments that have a remaining maturity of greater than two years, all instruments that have a remaining maturity of between one and two years remain eligible to be included in the total gone concern capital. 5 The gone concern requirement after the application of the reduction for the use of higher-quality capital instruments is floored at 10% and 3.75% for the RWA- and LRD-based requirements, respectively. This means that the combined reduction may not exceed 4.3 percentage points for the RWA-based requirement of 14.3% and 1.25 percentage points for the LRD-based requirement of 5.0%. 6 From 1 January 2023, the resolvability discount on the gone concern capital requirements for systemically important banks (SIBs) has been replaced with reduced base gone concern capital requirements equivalent to 75% of the total going concern requirements (excluding countercyclical buffer requirements). 7 Includes applicable add-ons of 1.08% for RWA and 0.38% for LRD. 8 As of July 2024, the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) will have the authority to impose a surcharge of up to 25% of the total going concern capital requirement should obstacles to a SIB’s resolvability be identified in future resolvability assessments. | ||||||

Basel III leverage ratio
The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (the BCBS) leverage ratio, as summarized in the “KM1: Key metrics“ table in section 2 of this report, is calculated by dividing the period-end tier 1 capital by the period-end leverage ratio denominator (the LRD).
The LRD consists of on-balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet items based on International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Derivative exposures are adjusted for a number of items, including replacement values and eligible cash variation margin netting, the current exposure method add-on for potential future exposure and net notional amounts for written credit derivatives. The LRD also includes an additional charge for counterparty credit risk related to securities financing transactions (SFTs).
The table below shows the difference between total IFRS assets per IFRS consolidation scope and the BCBS total on-balance sheet exposures. Those exposures are the starting point for calculating the BCBS LRD, as shown in the LR2 table in this section. The difference is due to the application of the regulatory scope of consolidation for the purpose of the BCBS calculation. In addition, carrying amounts for derivative financial instruments and SFTs are deducted from IFRS total assets. They are measured differently under BCBS leverage ratio rules and are therefore added back in separate exposure line items in the LR2 table.
Difference between the Swiss SRB and BCBS leverage ratio
The LRD is the same under Swiss systemically relevant bank (SRB) and BCBS rules. However, there is a difference in the capital numerator between the two frameworks. Under BCBS rules only common equity tier 1 and additional tier 1 capital are included in the numerator. Under Swiss SRB rules UBS is required to meet going and gone concern leverage ratio requirements. Therefore, depending on the requirement, the numerator includes tier 1 capital instruments, tier 2 capital instruments and / or total loss-absorbing capacity-eligible senior unsecured debt.

31 March 2023 Pillar 3 Report | UBS Group | Leverage ratio | 12 |
During the first quarter of 2023, the LRD decreased by USD 14.0bn to USD 1,014.4bn. On-balance sheet exposures (excluding derivatives and SFTs) decreased by USD 12.0bn, mainly driven by lower central bank balances, partly offset by increases in trading portfolio and lending assets. Derivative exposures increased by USD 1.3bn, primarily in the Investment Bank, reflecting lower netting and higher trading volumes, largely offset by market-driven decreases and lower margin requirements. SFTs decreased by USD 1.8bn, mainly driven by trade roll-offs and lower collateral sourcing activities, partly offset by an increase in brokerage receivables and higher client activity levels. Off-balance sheet items decreased by USD 1.5bn, mainly due to lower forward starting reverse repurchase agreements.

High-quality liquid assets
HQLA must be easily and immediately convertible into cash at little or no loss of value, especially during a period of stress. HQLA are assets that are of low risk and are unencumbered. Other characteristics of HQLA are ease and certainty of valuation, low correlation with risky assets, listing of the assets on a developed and recognized exchange, existence of an active and sizable market for the assets, and low volatility. Our HQLA predominantly consist of assets that qualify as Level 1 in the LCR framework, including cash, central bank reserves and government bonds.

LCR development during the first quarter of 2023
The quarterly average LCR of UBS Group decreased 1.8 percentage points to 161.9%, remaining above the prudential requirement communicated by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA). The movement in the average LCR was driven by an USD 8.4bn reduction in HQLA to USD 230.2bn mainly due to higher net funding needs driven by higher trading portfolio assets, increased loans to customers and lower net cash collateral payables on derivative instruments, partly offset by lower receivables from securities financing transactions and higher debt issued designated at fair value. The decrease in HQLA was largely offset by a USD 3.8bn reduction in net cash outflows to USD 142.2bn, mainly due to lower outflows from customer deposits, partly offset by higher outflows from maturing debt issued.

UBS AG standalone
Key metrics of the first quarter of 2023
The table below is based on Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) Basel III rules.
During the first quarter of 2023, common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital decreased by USD 0.5bn to USD 53.5bn, mainly as operating profit before tax was more than offset by additional accruals for capital returns to UBS Group AG. Tier 1 capital was stable at USD 65.8bn, reflecting the aforementioned decrease in CET1 capital, offset by a USD 0.5bn increase in additional tier 1 (AT1) capital. The increase in AT1 capital was mainly driven by two loss-absorbing AT1 capital instruments on-lent by UBS Group AG to UBS AG, denominated in US dollars and Swiss francs amounting to USD 0.3bn equivalent.
Phase-in risk-weighted assets (RWA) increased by USD 15.4bn to USD 348.2bn during the first quarter of 2023, primarily driven by increases in participation RWA, due to the phased increase of risk weights for investments in Swiss- and foreign-domiciled subsidiaries in accordance with the relevant Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) decree, and, to a lesser extent, by credit risk and counterparty credit risk, as well as market risk RWA.
Leverage ratio exposure increased by USD 13.9bn to USD 589.3bn, mainly driven by higher lending and trading portfolio assets, as well as increases in securities financing transactions and derivative exposures, partly offset by lower central bank balances.
Correspondingly, the CET1 capital ratio of UBS AG decreased to 15.4% from 16.2%, mainly reflecting the increase in RWA. The firm’s Basel III leverage ratio decreased to 11.2% from 11.4%, mainly reflecting the higher leverage ratio exposure.
In the first quarter of 2023, the quarterly average liquidity coverage ratio (the LCR) of UBS AG decreased 2.1 percentage points to 189.1%, remaining above the prudential requirement communicated by FINMA. The average LCR decrease was driven by a USD 2.8bn decrease in high-quality liquid assets (HQLA) to USD 98.8bn, mainly due to higher net funding needs driven by higher trading portfolio assets, partly offset by increased receivables from securities financing transactions and debt issued designated at fair value. The effect of the reduction in HQLA was partly offset by a decrease in net cash outflows of USD 1.2bn to USD 52.4bn due to higher inflows from intercompany loans and lower outflows from third-party customer deposits, offset by higher cash outflows from maturing debt issued.
As of 31 March 2023, the net stable funding ratio (the NSFR) decreased by 2.6 percentage points to 88.2%, remaining above the prudential requirement communicated by FINMA. The movement in the NSFR was driven by an increase in required stable funding of USD 8.8bn to USD 289.0bn, mainly due to higher lending and trading portfolio assets. Available stable funding remained almost stable at USD 255.0bn.

Swiss SRB going and gone concern requirements and information
The tables below provide details of the Swiss systemically relevant bank RWA- and leverage ratio denominator-based going and gone concern requirements and information as required by FINMA. Details regarding eligible gone concern instruments are provided below.
Following the amendments to the Banking Act and the Banking Ordinance, which entered into force as of 1 January 2023, UBS AG standalone is subject to a gone concern capital requirement based on the sum of: (i) the nominal value of the gone concern instruments issued by UBS entities and held by the parent firm; (ii) 75% of the capital requirements resulting from third-party exposure on a standalone basis; and (iii) a buffer requirement equal to 30% of the Group’s gone concern capital requirement on UBS AG’s consolidated exposure. A transitional period until 2024 has been granted for the buffer requirement. The gone concern capital coverage ratio reflects how much gone concern capital is available to meet the gone concern requirement. Outstanding high- and low-trigger loss-absorbing tier 2 capital instruments, non-Basel III-compliant tier 2 capital instruments and total loss-absorbing capacity-eligible senior unsecured debt instruments are eligible to meet gone concern requirements until one year before maturity.
More information about the going and gone concern requirements and information is provided in the “UBS AG standalone” section of our 31 December 2022 Pillar 3 Report, available under “Pillar 3 disclosures” at ubs.com/investors.

Key metrics of the first quarter of 2023
The table below is based on Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) Basel III rules and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
During the first quarter of 2023, common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital decreased by CHF 0.2bn to CHF 12.4bn, mainly as operating profit was more than offset by additional accruals for dividends.
Total risk-weighted assets (RWA) increased by CHF 0.9bn to CHF 108.1bn, mainly due to RWA increases from corporate loans.
Leverage ratio exposure decreased by CHF 1.9bn to CHF 330.4bn, mainly driven by lower central bank balances, partly offset by higher lending assets.
The quarterly average liquidity coverage ratio (the LCR) of UBS Switzerland AG decreased by 0.5 percentage points to 141.9%, remaining above the prudential requirement communicated by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA). The movement in the average LCR was driven by a reduction in high-quality liquid assets (HQLA) of CHF 3.6bn to CHF 85.3bn mainly due to lower cash held at the Swiss National Bank, predominantly resulting from lower customer deposits and partly offset by increased funding from UBS AG. The effect of the reduction in HQLA was largely offset by a reduction in net cash outflows of CHF 2.3bn to CHF 60.2bn, driven by lower outflows from decreased customer deposits.
As of 31 March 2023, the net stable funding ratio (the NSFR) decreased by 2.9 percentage points to 133.7%, remaining above the prudential requirement communicated by FINMA. The movement in the NSFR was driven by an increase in required stable funding of CHF 2.8bn to CHF 165.2bn, mainly due to higher lending assets, and a decrease in available stable funding of CHF 0.9bn to CHF 220.8bn, mainly driven by lower customer deposits.

Calculated based on an average of 64 data points in the first quarter of 2023 and 63 data points in the fourth quarter of 2022. For the prior-quarter data points, refer to the respective Pillar 3 Report, available under “Pillar 3 disclosures” at ubs.com/investors, for more information. 6 UBS Switzerland AG is required to maintain a minimum NSFR of at least 100% on an ongoing basis as defined by Art. 17h para. 1 of the Liquidity Ordinance. A portion of the excess funding is needed to fulfill the NSFR requirement of UBS AG. | |||||||

31 March 2023 Pillar 3 Report | Significant regulated subsidiaries and sub-groups | UBS Switzerland AG standalone | 27 |
The table below provides information about the regulatory capital components, capital ratios, leverage ratio and liquidity of UBS Europe SE consolidated based on Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) Pillar 1 requirements and in accordance with EU regulatory rules and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
During the first quarter of 2023, common equity tier 1 capital was stable at EUR 2.4bn and total capital remained stable at EUR 3.0bn. Risk-weighted assets remained stable at EUR 10.7bn. Leverage ratio exposure increased by EUR 6.0bn to EUR 47.8bn, mainly reflecting an increase in securities financing transactions.
The average liquidity coverage ratio was broadly stable at 155.0% (compared with 158.7% in the fourth quarter of 2022), with a EUR 0.2bn decrease in high-quality liquid assets and a EUR 0.1bn increase in total net cash outflows. The net stable funding ratio (the NSFR) remained well above the regulatory requirements of 100%, at 155.4% (compared with 174.6% in the fourth quarter of 2022). The decrease in the NSFR was driven by a EUR 0.6bn increase in required stable funding, which was partly due to clients increasing their Asian market exposure, and a EUR 0.5bn decrease in available stable funding, which was mainly due to clients shifting cash into funds and securities.

UBS Americas Holding LLC consolidated
The table below provides information about the regulatory capital components and capital, liquidity and leverage ratios of UBS Americas Holding LLC consolidated, based on the Pillar 1 requirements and in accordance with US Basel III rules.
Effective 1 October 2022, and through 30 September 2023, UBS Americas Holding LLC is subject to a stress capital buffer (an SCB) of 4.8%, in addition to the minimum capital requirements. The SCB was determined by the Federal Reserve Board following the completion of the 2022 Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (the CCAR) based on Dodd–Frank Act Stress Test (DFAST) results and planned future dividends. The SCB, which replaces the static capital conservation buffer of 2.5%, is subject to change on an annual basis or as otherwise determined by the Federal Reserve Board.
During the first quarter of 2023, common equity tier 1 (CET1) was stable, as operating profit was mostly offset by the payment of a dividend to UBS AG. Risk-weighted assets (RWA) increased by USD 1.6bn to USD 71.9bn, driven by an increase in credit risk partially offset by a decrease in market risk. Leverage ratio exposure, calculated on an average basis, decreased by USD 5.5bn to USD 188.3bn, primarily due to decreased cash at Federal Reserve Banks.
The average liquidity coverage ratio (the LCR) increased 9.4 percentage points, mostly driven by lower deposits generating a USD 2.0bn decrease in net cash outflows.
