Media Release
Improved profits in Private Banking & Wealth Management with continued progress on leverage reduction in Investment Banking
• Reported net income of CHF 1.1 billion, stable quarter-on-quarter and 17% higher than a year ago on a consistent basis1
• Strong performance in Asia Pacific across both divisions
• Increased net interest income, margins and client activity in Private Banking & Wealth Management; net new assets of CHF 14.2 billion
• Investment Banking revenues driven by higher performance in equities and advisory, offset by weaker fixed income; higher expenses primarily due to investment in risk, regulatory and compliance infrastructure
• Further significant leverage reduction in Investment Banking; on track to meet targets
July 23, 2015 Credit Suisse delivered improved profits in 2Q15 with solid revenues across both divisions.
Tidjane Thiam, Chief Executive Officer, said: “Credit Suisse reported improved profits in the second quarter. Asia Pacific delivered a strong performance. Effective collaboration and alignment between our Private Banking and Investment Banking franchises have led to excellent growth in profits in Asia Pacific. Overall, our wealth management activities produced an improved performance and generated a good return on regulatory capital as a few initiatives are bearing fruit, particularly in Asia Pacific and in Switzerland. During the quarter, we launched our new advisory offering, Credit Suisse Invest, in Switzerland, following the Asia Pacific launch of the digital private banking platform in the first quarter. In our investment banking activities, profits declined in spite of a better performance in equities and advisory due to an increase in costs. We reduced our leverage exposure in the investment bank during the quarter and that process must continue.”
He added: “The management team and I have begun to evaluate how to best evolve the bank through an in-depth strategic review. Before the end of the year, we will set out a strategy and business model that will allow us to achieve profitable and sustainable growth. Our strategy and business model should ensure that our performance is less volatile and that the performance of our chosen portfolio of businesses is resilient, even in the most challenging environment. The new strategy should address some of the pressures apparent in our 2Q results. We will look to optimize our portfolio of businesses to make it less capital intensive and ensure that we generate excess capital and maximize value for our shareholders through an economic cycle.”
David Mathers, Chief Financial Officer, said: “Credit Suisse delivered improved pre-tax income of CHF 1,646 million in the quarter. We saw strong growth in Asia Pacific across both divisions. In Wealth Management Clients, we attracted CHF 9.0 billion of net new assets and reported an 18% increase in pre-tax profit, driven by improved net interest income and higher client activity.”
He added: “We saw continued progress on capital and leverage. Our look-through CET1 ratio stood at 10.3% at the end of the quarter, up from 10.1% at the end of 2014. In 2Q, we benefited from solid quarterly profitability and higher take-up than assumed for the 2014 scrip dividend. We achieved USD 81 billion in leverage reduction in Investment Banking in the first half of the year, with our look-through BIS tier 1 leverage ratio increasing to 3.7%, and we remain on track to meet our year-end targets.”
On the outlook, he said: “So far in the third quarter, we have seen continued momentum in Asia Pacific, Wealth Management Clients and Equities. However, the weaker trends in the fixed income markets that we saw in June have continued into July, and the third quarter normally sees some seasonal weakness.”

Improved reported results and further progress on winding down the non-strategic units
• Net income attributable to shareholders of CHF 1.1 billion
In the second quarter, Credit Suisse reported Core pre-tax income of CHF 1,646 million. Net income attributable to shareholders was CHF 1,051 million, compared to a loss in 2Q14, which included the CHF 1.6 billion litigation charge related to the settlements with US authorities regarding US cross-border matters. On a consistent basis, i.e. excluding the litigation charge and impact of fair value adjustments due to the movements in own credit spreads, pre-tax income was up 15% year-on-year. Return on equity was 10%, stable compared to the previous quarter.
Reported Core net revenues increased year-on-year, reflecting higher strategic net revenues in Investment Banking, Private Banking & Wealth Management and the Corporate Center. Reported operating expenses declined significantly compared to 2Q14, which was adversely impacted by the litigation charge. In the non-strategic businesses, the loss before taxes narrowed to CHF 166 million.
Since the end of 2013, Credit Suisse has separately disclosed its strategic and non-strategic results in addition to its reported results. The strategic results encompass the businesses that Credit Suisse plans to focus on going forward, while the non-strategic results include the ones that it intends to wind down or exit. This additional disclosure allows investors to see how the businesses perform when excluding the drag from the non-strategic results.

Consistent and strong strategic results in both divisions
• Strategic results in Private Banking & Wealth Management benefited from a strong contribution from Wealth Management Clients and Corporate & Institutional Clients
• Investment Banking strategic results supported by higher equities and advisory revenues
• Continued strong growth in Asia Pacific across both divisions
For the second quarter of 2015, strategic pre-tax income was CHF 1,812 million, slightly up compared to the same period a year ago. Strategic net income attributable to shareholders was CHF 1,418 million, an increase of 10% compared to CHF 1,288 million in 2Q14. Strategic return on equity for 2Q15 was 14%, compared to the 15% through-the-cycle Group target.
Key growth regions: Credit Suisse continues to leverage and expand its position in key growth regions. Asia Pacific remains a significant driver of growth in both Private Banking & Wealth Management and Investment Banking. Pre-tax income in the region in the first half of 2015 more than doubled compared to the same period a year ago. Within Private Banking & Wealth Management, net new assets in Asia Pacific increased by 13% in the first half of 2015 compared to a year earlier.

Private Banking & Wealth Management: Improved margins and profitability
• Continued revenue momentum in Wealth Management Clients and Corporate & Institutional Clients
• Total net new assets of CHF 14.2 billion driven by inflows in key growth regions
In 2Q15, Private Banking & Wealth Management reported net revenues of CHF 3,152 million and pre-tax income of CHF 937 million. The strategic businesses of Private Banking & Wealth Management generated pre-tax income of CHF 1,001 million with a strong contribution from Wealth Management Clients and Corporate & Institutional Clients, partially offset by lower Asset Management results due to the sale and restructuring measures taken in the fourth quarter of 2014. The return on regulatory capital for the strategic businesses was 26% and the cost/income ratio improved to 67%.
Private Banking & Wealth Management recorded strategic net new assets of CHF 15.4 billion in 2Q15. Wealth Management Clients contributed net new assets of CHF 9.0 billion with continued strong inflows from Asia Pacific, driven by Greater China, and a solid contribution from Switzerland and Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA). Net asset inflows in Switzerland benefited from good momentum in the ultra-high-net-worth individual (UHNWI) client segment. Total net new assets for Private Banking & Wealth Management were CHF 14.2 billion in 2Q15, including CHF 1.6 billion of outflows from the Corporate & Institutional Clients business in Switzerland resulting from the low interest rate environment and related pricing changes on cash deposits.
Wealth Management Clients reported a net margin of 31 basis points. The net margin increased year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter by 3 basis points and 1 basis point, respectively. Net interest income in Wealth Management Clients improved, largely driven by higher loan margins on higher average loan volumes.
Private Banking & Wealth Management further reduced its risk-weighted assets by CHF 3.2 billion and its leverage exposure by CHF 9.7 billion. As of the end of 2Q15, the non-strategic businesses of Private Banking & Wealth Management reported risk-weighted assets of CHF 4.5 billion and leverage exposure of CHF 3.9 billion, ahead of the end-2015 targets.
The non-strategic businesses reported a pre-tax loss of CHF 64 million on lower revenues compared to 2Q14. Operating expenses were CHF 112 million, primarily reflecting the continued winding-down of operations and costs of CHF 66 million to meet requirements related to the settlements with US authorities regarding US cross-border matters.
Strategic initiatives: During the quarter, Private Banking & Wealth Management continued to successfully execute on its growth initiatives. In addition to updating its discretionary mandate suite, on April 1, 2015, Credit Suisse launched its new advisory offering, Credit Suisse Invest, which focuses on improving flexibility and transparency for clients in Switzerland and other selected markets. As of the end of 2Q15, mandates penetration increased to 20% from 17% as of the end of 2014 and the strong sales momentum is expected to continue.
In addition, Credit Suisse continues to expand its lending program to UHNWIs. Since the launch of the UHNWI lending program in 2013, loan volume has increased by 43% to CHF 40 billion. In 2Q15, net new lending to UHNWIs was CHF 1.3 billion, resulting in a total of CHF 8.5 billion since the launch of the program, in line with the commitment to expand the lending program to this important client segment.
Developing Credit Suisse’s digital capabilities has become an important focus point, as clients become increasingly reliant on real-time mobile banking. Credit Suisse updated its private banking mobile app in the Swiss home market, where Credit Suisse has already enjoyed a strong online banking presence. This followed the launch of the digital client platform in Asia Pacific. The technology gives clients access to comprehensive portfolio information and market and research insights specific to their investments goals, whenever and wherever they choose. It also facilitates a more direct collaboration between clients and relationship managers, as well as between clients and Credit Suisse’s experts across the globe. Credit Suisse intends to continue to upgrade its digital offering, adding new features in both regions this and next year, and to extend the technology to clients in the Americas and EMEA in 2016.

Investment Banking: Strong strategic revenues
• Revenues driven by higher performance in equities and advisory offset by lower fixed income results
• Profits declined year-on-year; revenue growth offset by higher expenses, mostly from investment in risk, regulatory and compliance infrastructure
• Continued reduction in leverage exposure across strategic and non-strategic businesses
In 2Q15, Investment Banking generated reported net revenues of CHF 3,381 million and pre-tax income of CHF 615 million. During the quarter, results in Investment Banking were impacted by the weakening of the average exchange rate of the Swiss franc against the US dollar. This positively impacted revenues but negatively impacted expenses. Compared to 2Q14, revenues increased slightly in Swiss francs, reflecting strong results in equities, particularly in Asia Pacific, and advisory. Compared to 2Q14, total operating expenses increased by 6% in Swiss francs and by 1% in US dollars, driven primarily by investments in risk, regulatory and compliance infrastructure.
During the first half of 2015, there was a significant improvement in leverage exposure across strategic and non-strategic businesses, with a reduction in leverage exposure of USD 81 billion. In 2Q15, leverage exposure was reduced by USD 22 billion to USD 675 billion as compared to the end-2015 divisional target of USD 600-620 billion. In US dollars, risk-weighted assets increased slightly compared to the previous quarter, due to methodology changes and the foreign exchange impact.
In the strategic businesses, pre-tax income was CHF 910 million, down 13% compared to 2Q14, as higher operating expenses – as explained above – offset higher revenues. Fixed income sales and trading revenues declined compared to a strong 2Q14, as weaker market conditions in June resulted in a risk-averse operating environment. Equity sales and trading results were higher, primarily driven by increased activity in Asia Pacific. Underwriting and advisory results were stable compared to 2Q14 as higher advisory fees offset lower debt underwriting revenues. Compared to the previous quarter, underwriting and advisory revenues increased, reflecting improved client activity across M&A and debt and equity underwriting.
Investment Banking’s non-strategic businesses reported a pre-tax loss of CHF 295 million and negative net revenues of CHF 168 million in 2Q15. Compared to 2Q14, negative net revenues were higher but total operating expenses decreased due to lower litigation provisions.

Further leverage reductions
• Continued progress on reducing leverage exposure; on track to meet year-end targets
• Look-through CET1 ratio of 10.3%
Regulators have in recent years focused increasingly on the unweighted view of capital in the form of more restrictive leverage requirements. In order to comply with these stricter requirements, Credit Suisse has laid out a plan to significantly reduce its leverage exposure.
Credit Suisse targets a leverage exposure of CHF 940-960 billion by the end of 2015, on a foreign exchange adjusted basis. Credit Suisse is targeting a look-through Swiss leverage ratio of 4.5% and a look-through BIS tier 1 leverage ratio of approximately 4.0% by the end of 2015, of which the CET1 component is approximately 3.0%.
During the quarter, Credit Suisse further reduced its leverage exposure by 4% to CHF 1,067 billion. At quarter-end, the look-through Swiss leverage ratio was 4.3% and the look-through BIS tier 1 leverage ratio was 3.7%, of which the CET1 component was 2.7%.
Another important metric to measure banks’ capital position is the look-through CET1 ratio, which fully applies the requirements as of 2019. At the end of 2Q15, Credit Suisse’s look-through CET1 ratio stood at 10.3%, up from 10.1% as of end-2014.
Achieved ~CHF 3.5 billion in cost savings since 2011
• Continue to target cost reductions of approximately CHF 4.0 billion by end-2015
By the end of 2Q15, Credit Suisse had achieved cost savings of approximately CHF 3.5 billion since the start of the expense reduction program in 2011. In Private Banking & Wealth Management and in the infrastructure cost program, Credit Suisse is on track to meet its year-end target. However, Investment Banking has faced headwinds resulting in higher direct costs due to increased indirect tax expense and revenue-related expenses. Credit Suisse continues to work towards delivering further cost savings over the balance of the year, reaching an aggregate of approximately CHF 4.0 billion by the end of 2015.
Management is currently in the process of thoroughly assessing the strategy, the results of which Credit Suisse intends to announce before year-end. When this process is concluded, it is possible that the cost savings plans and targets described above will change.

Second Quarter 2015 Results Presentation to Investors July 23, 2015
Disclaimer Cautionary statement regarding forward-looking statementsThis presentation contains forward-looking statements that involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and we might not be able to achieve the predictions, forecasts, projections and other outcomes we describe or imply in forward-looking statements. A number of important factors could cause results to differ materially from the plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions we express in these forward-looking statements, including those we identify in "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 and in "Cautionary statement regarding forward-looking information" in our second quarter earnings release 2015 filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, and in other public filings and press releases. We do not intend to update these forward-looking statements except as may be required by applicable law.Statement regarding non-GAAP financial measuresThis presentation also contains non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted cost run-rates. Information needed to reconcile such non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable measures under US GAAP can be found in this presentation, which is available on our website at credit-suisse.com.Statement regarding capital, liquidity and leverageAs of January 1, 2013, Basel 3 was implemented in Switzerland along with the Swiss “Too Big to Fail” legislation and regulations thereunder. As of January 1, 2015, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) leverage ratio framework, as issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS), was implemented in Switzerland by FINMA. Our related disclosures are in accordance with our interpretation of such requirements, including relevant assumptions. Changes in the interpretation of these requirements in Switzerland or in any of our assumptions or estimates could result in different numbers from those shown in this presentation. Capital and ratio numbers for periods prior to 2013 are based on estimates, which are calculated as if the Basel 3 framework had been in place in Switzerland during such periods. 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. Leverage amounts for 4Q14, which are presented in order to show meaningful comparative information, are based on estimates which are calculated as if the BIS leverage ratio framework had been implemented in Switzerland at such time. Beginning in 2015, the Swiss leverage ratio is calculated as Swiss total capital, divided by period-end leverage exposure. The look-through BIS tier 1 leverage ratio and CET1 leverage ratio are calculated as look-through BIS tier 1 capital and CET1 capital, respectively, divided by end-period leverage exposure. Leverage exposure target assumes constant USD/CHF and EUR/CHF exchange rates equal to those at the end of 2Q15. July 23, 2015 *
