EQS-Adhoc: UBS Group AG: UBS reports 2Q26 net profit of USD 2.8bn and USD 5.8bn for 1H26 with robust momentum across businesses; Group invested assets at USD 7.3trn

Ad hoc announcement pursuant to Article 53 of the SIX Exchange Regulation Listing Rules

UBS reports 2Q26 net profit of USD 2.8bn and USD 5.8bn for 1H26 with robust momentum across businesses; Group invested assets at USD 7.3trn

“Almost three years ago, we presented our first set of consolidated results. From the beginning, I made it clear that the acquisition of Credit Suisse was not a gift that we received, but rather a prize that we would all have to fight to win. As expected, the journey was not a straight line. It required a lot of hard work from my colleagues and painful decisions. Now these efforts are paying off and the extraordinary patience and support of our shareholders is starting to be rewarded. Strong results in the second quarter and healthy capital generation have further fortified our balance sheet for all seasons and allow us to continue deploying financial resources towards profitable growth opportunities to support clients and deliver on our capital return ambitions. We are well positioned to outperform our 2026 exit-rate return target and achieve our exit-rate cost/income ratio target. We remain firmly focused on staying close to our clients, completing the integration, executing our growth plans and managing risk with discipline – all while remaining a trusted partner in the communities where we live and work.” Sergio P. Ermotti, Group CEO

Second quarter 2026 performance overview

Strong financial performance driven by franchise strength and robust client momentum across our businesses

In 2Q26, we reported a profit before tax (PBT) of USD 3,594m and USD 3,887m on an underlying basis, up 64% YoY and 45% YoY, respectively. Our strong second quarter results underscore our earnings power, with broad-based growth across each of our core businesses, led by Global Wealth Management and the Investment Bank. This balanced performance reflects continued client momentum, the breadth of our capabilities, and the durable benefits of the integration.

Reported revenues were USD 13,700m, up 13% YoY. On an underlying basis, revenues increased by 16% to USD 13,348m, driven by a 14% YoY increase in revenues in our core businesses. Global Wealth Management (GWM) underlying revenues increased 14% YoY to USD 6,997m with double-digit YoY growth across all revenue lines. The Investment Bank (IB) delivered excellent results, generating record second quarter revenues. Global Markets also delivered a record second quarter, with underlying revenues of USD 3,008m, up 31% YoY, driven by our best quarter on record in Equities, Execution Services and Financing, with strong regional contributions from APAC and the Americas. Global Banking underlying revenues increased by 33% YoY to USD 693m, driven by standout performance in Capital Markets with notable strength in LCM, where revenues more than doubled YoY, alongside strong performances in both ECM and DCM.

Group invested assets reached a record USD 7.3trn at the end of the quarter. GWM net new assets (NNA) for the quarter totaled USD 36bn, representing a 3% annualized growth rate and contributing to a 6% increase in invested assets QoQ, led by robust flows in Switzerland, EMEA and APAC. In the Americas, strong same-store performance drove NNA of USD 1bn despite approximately USD 10bn of seasonal tax-related outflows. GWM net new fee generating assets for the quarter reached USD 13bn with strong demand for our CIO-led solutions. Net new money (NNM) for the quarter in Asset Management (AM) was USD 6bn, driven by our separately managed account (SMA) and ETF offerings as well as Unified Global Alternatives.

We also continued to support businesses and households in Switzerland with our global reach, advice and expertise. We granted or renewed CHF ~40bn of loans to Swiss businesses and households in 2Q26 as we remain a leading provider of credit to the Swiss economy.

Integration on track to be substantially completed by the end of this year

With the completion of the global migration of former Credit Suisse client accounts to UBS infrastructure in March 2026, we entered the final phase of the integration. We delivered another USD 1.1bn of gross cost reductions in 2Q26, bringing the cumulative gross cost savings since the end of 2022 to USD 12.6bn. This represents over 90% of our total gross cost savings ambition and keeps us firmly on track to achieve our USD ~13.5bn ambition by the end of 2026.

As of 30 June 2026, more than 90% of legacy Credit Suisse IT applications in scope for decommissioning were no longer in use and around 70% of such applications had already been fully decommissioned. 

We are on track to substantially complete the integration by the end of the year and we are well positioned to outperform our 2026 exit rate return on CET1 capital target of ~15% and achieve our 2026 exit rate cost/income ratio target of <70% with potential for incremental improvement.

Maintained strong capital position and balance sheet for all seasons

Our financial performance in the first half of 2026 has resulted in strong capital generation, further fortifying our capital position with a CET1 capital ratio of 14.4% and a CET1 leverage ratio of 4.4%, both above our guidance of ~14% and >4.0%, respectively.

Our strong capital position allows us to continue deploying resources towards profitable growth opportunities to support clients and deliver on our capital return ambitions. This includes accruing for mid-teens percentage growth in our dividend in the second quarter. We also completed our latest share repurchase program in July. We are continuing with another share repurchase program under which we intend to repurchase USD 3bn of shares at the latest by the end of the second quarter of 2027, and for which a reserve for the full amount is reflected in our CET1 capital as of 30 June 2026.

We plan to repurchase at least USD 1bn of shares over the next three months. The amount and pace of share repurchases will remain subject to our short-term financial performance and outlook, maintaining a CET1 capital ratio of around 14% and further visibility on the deliberations by the Swiss Parliament on the capitalization of foreign subsidiaries.

Strategically investing in our franchise to drive long-term growth and position UBS for the future

We remain focused on investing in technology, including AI, as well as our capabilities and talent, to position UBS for the future as we enhance our client experience, further strengthen our infrastructure and increase efficiency.

We continue to progress our 9 large-scale, end-to-end transformational AI initiatives and build on our 560 live AI use cases in production (92% YoY increase, with another 920+ applications in development).

We also continue to provide our employees with the AI tools necessary to successfully deliver tangible outcomes for our clients and our business on a daily basis. Today, around 18,000 of our software developers are leveraging AI across the software development lifecycle, from code generation, explanation, test automation and requirement management. Over one quarter of AI-generated suggestions are being directly used in production code, enhancing productivity and speeding up development. In addition, all UBS employees now have the ability to create their own AI agents, accelerating our ability to deploy AI safely and at scale across the firm while enabling our people to spend more time on judgement, collaboration, and delivering value for clients.

To further support AI literacy and practical adoption, we recently launched AI Power Hour, an initiative that reserves one hour each week for employees to build their AI skills with a focus on continuous improvement within their day-to-day work and enhancing outcomes for our clients.

At the same time, we are deepening our partnership with leading hyperscalers, frontier AI developers, FinTechs, data and platform providers as well as academia to drive innovation and develop transformative capabilities faster and more effectively.

During the quarter we saw the official launch of the Oxford-UBS Centre for Applied Artificial Intelligence, a landmark partnership with the University of Oxford that reflects our commitment to innovation and responsible AI.

The Centre brings together leading academic researchers and UBS practitioners to accelerate the practical application of AI while advancing understanding of its impact on businesses, economies and society. Through a combination of independent research and collaborative industry projects, the partnership will help translate cutting-edge AI advancements into real-world solutions and insights.

The investments we are making to deliver differentiated, AI-driven solutions for clients continue to be recognized. Our IB Global Research team recently received the Celent 2026 Model Sell Side Award for GenAI Automation. This recognition reflects the successful deployment of generative AI across multiple workflows and the research value chain, resulting in enhanced productivity, new product development, and improved client engagement. In addition, our US flagship platform for AI-generated insights received the Celent 2026 award for Model Wealth Manager for Data, Analytics and AI.

We also continue to take a client-led approach to digital assets. Our ambition is to be a trusted, regulated gateway for clients to access on-chain money, assets and markets. We are working with peers and partners across our industry to build out capabilities, core infrastructure and targeted offerings for tokenized real-world assets and digital money. In April, we joined an initiative aimed at testing selected use cases for a Swiss franc stablecoin in a secure digital live environment in Switzerland. Most recently, we successfully executed our first cross-border stablecoin-based payments for corporate clients under real-world conditions.

Consistent with our focus on innovation and leveraging data and technology to improve the client experience, we recently announced a strategic partnership between our Unified Global Alternatives unit and MSCI focused on advancing transparency and standardization across private markets. The collaboration combines UBS’s expertise and insights as a leading Limited Partner in Alternatives with MSCI’s capabilities in independent data, analytics, models and AI-powered technology. Together, UBS and MSCI aim to address longstanding industry challenges, including fragmented data and limited transparency, while helping transform the private markets investment decision-making process for clients. UBS will also serve as an early adopter of MSCI’s AI-powered platform and collaborate with MSCI to support broader market adoption and standardization across private markets.

 

Outlook

As we enter the third quarter, market conditions remain broadly constructive, supported by healthy client engagement, the continued broadening of market leadership and historically elevated equity dispersion.

At the same time, ongoing geopolitical developments and volatile energy prices lead to high levels of uncertainty around the inflation and interest rate outlook. This could contribute to changes in macroeconomic conditions, periods of elevated volatility and more measured investor sentiment.

For the third quarter, in addition to seasonal factors, we expect Global Wealth Management net interest income to increase modestly, broadly in line with the sequential uptick recorded in the second quarter of 2026. In Personal & Corporate Banking, we expect net interest income to be flat to slightly higher sequentially.

We are focused on maintaining a high level of engagement with our clients as we execute on the final stages of the integration and as we continue to strategically invest in our franchise to drive long-term growth.

UBS’s sustainability and impact highlights

During the quarter, we continued to advance our sustainability and impact agenda, as acknowledged by external recognition of our progress and significant integration milestones. UBS maintained its position in the Dow Jones Best in Class Indices, while the merger of the former Credit Suisse umbrella foundations in Switzerland into the UBS Philanthropy Foundation strengthened our philanthropic platform, and broadened our capacity to support impactful philanthropy and positive social outcomes in Switzerland.

Climate Week Zurich

UBS was a platinum sponsor of the inaugural Climate Week Zurich in May 2026, supporting the launch of a high-profile business-driven climate and sustainability platform in Europe. Through our own flagship events, we convened clients, employees and partners, and brought together policymakers, scientists, financial institutions, corporates, entrepreneurs and civil-society leaders to discuss ways to advance credible climate action in Switzerland and beyond. The program highlighted UBS’s ability to connect expertise, capital and partnerships across sectors, with the aim of seeking practical solutions for the transition to a low-carbon economy.
