Group highlights
• FY17 Group adjusted* net revenues of CHF 20.9 billion, up 5% year on year (4Q17: CHF 5.2 billion)
• FY17 adjusted* operating cost base of CHF 17.7 billion at actual FX rates2, down 7% year on year (4Q17: CHF 4.5 billion)
• FY17 Group reported pre-tax income of CHF 1.8 billion, compared to pre-tax loss of CHF 2.3 billion in FY16 (4Q17: pre-tax income of CHF 141 million)
• FY17 Group adjusted* pre-tax income of CHF 2.8 billion, up 349% year on year (4Q17: CHF 569 million)
• FY17 net loss attributable to shareholders of CHF 983 million, including income tax expenses of CHF 2,741 million primarily related to the re-assessment of deferred taxes resulting from the US tax reform (4Q17: net loss attributable to shareholders of CHF 2,126 million)
• The US Department of the Treasury is expected to issue guidance to clarify the application of the base erosion and anti-abuse tax (BEAT). On the basis of the current analysis of the BEAT alternative tax regime, we regard it as more likely than not that the Group will not be subject to this regime in 2018
Tidjane Thiam, Chief Executive Officer of Credit Suisse, stated: “2017 was a crucial year of delivery in our three-year restructuring plan, after 2016, which was a year of deep and radical reorganization and restructuring. It was key for us to demonstrate that our new structure is effective and that the strategy formulated in 2015 is working.
We believe that the 2017 results we are presenting today contain tangible evidence of the positive impact our restructuring efforts are having on the Group’s performance. In the second full year of our restructuring plan, we remained focused on execution.
We generated profitable growth9 and continued to drive positive operating leverage through both revenue growth and cost reductions. We increased the return on capital10 in every division. In particular, we saw accelerated momentum in our Wealth Management businesses11, which delivered higher profits9, higher combined NNA3 and higher margins12, demonstrating the power of our business model and the effectiveness of our focus on UHNWI clients.
We can look back on a number of notable achievements in 2017:
• Positive operating leverage accelerated across the Group; net revenues13 were up 5% and costs14 down 6%.
• Strong progress towards our 2018 profitability targets in Wealth Management. With adjusted* pre-tax income of CHF 4.2 billion11, we are 85% of the way to our CHF 4.95 billion11 target level with one year to go.
• At CHF 37.2 billion, Wealth Management NNA3 grew 27% year on year.
• Record Wealth Management AuM3 of CHF 772 billion, up 13% year on year, at higher margins12.
• Adjusted* operating cost base of CHF 17.7 billion at actual FX rates2 or CHF 18 billion at constant FX rates*; this equates to total net cost savings of CHF 3.2 billion at constant FX rates* (CHF 3.6 billion at actual FX rates2) since the cost program began two years ago.
• Each of our five operating divisions increased their return on capital10 year on year.
• Our APAC Wealth Management & Connected business exceeded its previous FY18 adjusted* pre-tax income target15 one year ahead of schedule. We won around 120 industry awards16 and, for the first time, we were named Best Private Bank17 and Best Corporate & Institutional Bank18 in the APAC region in the same year.
• International Trading Solutions (ITS) – a partnership established across GM, IWM and SUB to better service the needs of our UHNWI clients – has had a strong start to 2018.
Our 2017 results show that our strategy is working. In 2018, we will remain focused on disciplined execution and on delivering value for our clients and shareholders for the final year of our restructuring plan.”

Current Trading and Outlook
We have focused relentlessly for two years now on reducing our fixed cost base to increase our resilience in unsupportive markets and increase our leverage in constructive markets. As a result of these efforts, we believe we are in a significantly improved position to benefit when market conditions improve. In the first six weeks of the year, we have seen evidence that this approach is paying off.
Our market-dependent activities19 had a strong start to the year. In the first six weeks of 2018, estimated net revenues were up by more than 10%8 in Global Markets and more than 15%8 in APAC Markets year on year, with significant outperformance in equity derivatives and securitized products as well as ITS. In addition, operating expenses across the two divisions have been reduced since we started our restructuring back in 2016, directly benefiting our bottom line, with a positive effect on profitability8.
That said, our market-dependent activities19 remain exposed to a number of uncertainties, from geopolitical developments to the path and speed of interest rate changes in major economies as quantitative easing is unwound and markets adjust. In the first six weeks of 2018, we have seen a significant pick-up in market volatility, which on the one hand had a positive impact on our secondary activities, and on the other hand, negatively impacted our primary calendar as clients wait for calmer markets in order to transact.
We are adopting a cautious short-term outlook in this period of heightened volatility. Overall, we have made significant progress in strengthening our capital position and de-risking our Markets businesses19 since 2015. Our outlook on the world economy remains positive and we believe that our strategy of being a leading wealth manager with strong investment banking capabilities as well as our efforts to cut fixed costs and lower our breakeven point leave us well positioned to create significant value for both our clients and our shareholders.
Changes to the Board of Directors
The Board of Directors of Credit Suisse Group AG is proposing Michael Klein and Ana Paula Pessoa for election as new non-executive members of the Board of Directors at the Annual General Meeting on April 27, 2018. Richard E. Thornburgh, upon reaching the relevant tenure limit, will not stand for re-election. All other members of the Board of Directors will stand for re-election for a further term of office of one year.
Regarding the nominations of Michael Klein and Ana Paula Pessoa, Urs Rohner, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Credit Suisse Group, stated: "Michael Klein, former Chairman and Co-CEO Markets & Banking at Citigroup, is a recognized international banking professional and expert with over thirty years of experience in banking and financial services. Ana Paula Pessoa has wide-ranging experience in finance and strategy spanning more than two decades. She currently serves as an independent Board member of News Corporation, New York, and Vinci Group, Paris. Michael Klein and Ana Paula Pessoa both bring enormous expertise and long experience in their respective areas to complement the strengths of the Board of Directors."
Regarding the end of Richard Thornburgh’s tenure as a member of the Board of Directors, Urs Rohner commented: "Richard E. Thornburgh will not stand for re-election to the Board of Directors upon reaching the relevant tenure limit. Credit Suisse is very grateful to him for his exceptional leadership and longstanding contribution to the bank over four decades. This includes his time as a Credit Suisse executive and as a Board of Directors member for the last 12 years, serving as Chairman of the Risk Committee since 2009 and as Vice-Chair of the Board of Directors since 2014. He currently also holds the position of non-executive Chairman of our major US subsidiaries. It has been a privilege to work with him on the Board of Directors during a crucial period for Credit Suisse. I wish him the very best in his future endeavors.”

Dividend
As previously announced, Credit Suisse has revised its dividend policy. For the financial year 2017, it is discontinuing the proposal of a scrip alternative at the option of shareholders and instead proposing to pay an all-cash dividend per share at a level similar to the cash component (as opposed to the stock component) per share of the total dividend that shareholders elected in recent years. This is subject to the approval of our shareholders. The Board of Directors will therefore propose to shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on April 27, 2018, that a distribution of CHF 0.25 per share be paid out of capital contribution reserves for the financial year 2017. The distribution will be free of Swiss withholding tax and will not be subject to income tax for Swiss resident individuals holding the shares as a private investment. The distribution will be payable in cash.
Divisional summaries
Swiss Universal Bank (SUB) performed strongly in 2017, producing its eighth consecutive quarter of year-on-year adjusted* pre-tax income growth in 4Q17. At CHF 1.9 billion, adjusted* pre-tax income for FY17 was up 8% from the prior year and up 17% (excluding Swisscard20) from when we started our new plan at the end of 2015. SUB ended 2017 with CHF 563 billion of assets under management, an increase of 6% year on year. Adjusted* return on regulatory capital was 15%. In Private Clients, a 10% increase in FY17 adjusted* pre-tax income to CHF 860 million was mainly driven by strong cost discipline. Net new assets totaled CHF 4.7 billion, representing a record annual performance, with strong contributions from our UHNWI clients and entrepreneurs. In Corporate & Institutional Clients, FY17 adjusted* pre-tax income rose 6% to CHF 1.0 billion, mainly driven by continued strong cost discipline. Our Swiss investment banking business maintained its leading position21 in the country in M&A, DCM and ECM and we expect positive momentum to continue in 2018. SUB will focus on continuing to produce positive operating leverage in 2018, with higher revenues and lower costs. The division had a positive and encouraging start to 2018.
International Wealth Management (IWM) had a strong FY17 with adjusted* pre-tax income up 35% to CHF 1.5 billion, a unique performance for a business of this scale. Strong adjusted* revenue growth across all major revenue categories and cost discipline were the main drivers of this increase. Adjusted* return on regulatory capital reached 29% for FY17. Asset gathering gained momentum, with net new assets rising 69% to CHF 35.9 billion for the year. In Private Banking, FY17 adjusted* pre-tax income was up 36% to CHF 1.1 billion year on year with higher net interest income and recurring commissions and fees as well as improved levels of client activity and stable adjusted* operating expenses. FY17 adjusted* net margin was strong at 32 basis points, up 5 basis points year on year. Underscoring our successful house view performance, net mandate sales reached CHF 15.3 billion and mandates penetration rose 3 percentage points to 31%. FY17 net new assets matched last year’s record level of CHF 15.6 billion, resulting in an annualized growth rate of 5%, with solid inflows from emerging markets and Europe. In Asset Management, FY17 adjusted* pre-tax income grew by 33% to CHF 381 million year on year, driven by a double-digit increase in management fees and performance and placement revenues at resilient margins, partly offset by an 11% increase in adjusted* operating expenses. Net new assets for the year almost quadrupled to CHF 20.3 billion at an annualized growth rate of 6%.
Asia Pacific (APAC) generated adjusted* pre-tax income of CHF 792 million in FY17 and delivered a solid adjusted* return on regulatory capital of 15% while carrying out the significant repositioning of Markets. In APAC Wealth Management & Connected (WM&C), the adjusted* return on regulatory capital was 30% for FY17. Strong overall cost discipline in APAC resulted in a further decrease in FY17 adjusted* operating expenses year on year, including a 14% reduction in Markets (measured in USD). APAC WM&C delivered its best quarterly results to date with adjusted* pre-tax income of CHF 239 million, driven by net revenues of CHF 626 million. It also ended the year with record assets under management of CHF 196.8 billion and net new assets of CHF 16.9 billion, corresponding to an annualized growth rate of 10%. For FY17, WM&C grew its adjusted* pre-tax income by 63% to CHF 820 million. FY17 advisory, underwriting and financing net revenues grew 35%, driven primarily by

an increase in debt and equity capital markets mandates, and stronger performance in financing. FY17 Private Banking net revenues rose 17%, reflecting record transaction-based revenues and recurring commissions and fees. In APAC Markets, we are on track to meet our end-2018 adjusted* operating expenses ambition of USD 1.2 billion. APAC Markets has had a good start in the first six weeks of 1Q18 with net revenues8 up more than 15% compared to the same period of last year, reflecting higher volumes in equities, and stronger performance in fixed income sales and trading supported by primary activity and performance in FX. Demonstrating the strength of our client-focused strategy, APAC received exceptional industry recognition in 2017, including Best Private Bank17 in Asia and Best Corporate & Institutional Bank18, as well as Loan House of the Year22. We also ranked #1 in the All-Asia Sales and Trading Team polls23 and our advisory and underwriting business ranked top 2 in FY17 in terms of share of wallet24.
Investment Banking & Capital Markets (IBCM) delivered year-on-year growth in net revenues and profitability9 and gained further market share in both Americas and EMEA25 in FY17. We achieved top five rankings26 in IPOs, follow-ons and leveraged finance in 4Q17. Adjusted* pre-tax income rose 41% year on year to USD 419 million in FY17, including 4Q17 adjusted* pre-tax income of USD 122 million. Our adjusted* return on regulatory capital for FY17 was 15%, meeting our end-2018 target adjusted* return on regulatory capital of 15-20%. Net revenues in FY17 rose 9% year on year, driven by improved performance in debt and equity underwriting. In 4Q17, equity underwriting revenues increased 14% year on year, with IPO revenues reaching their highest level in the last 12 quarters. Debt underwriting revenues were up 12% year on year, and our teams were involved in 7 of the top 10 leveraged finance deals in 4Q17. FY17 adjusted* operating expenses increased 3% year on year, as we made targeted investments in business growth and in compliance. We grew our global advisory and underwriting revenues by 10% in 2017, outperforming27 industry-wide Street fees.
Global Markets (GM) delivered significantly improved profitability and positive operating leverage in 2017. Adjusted* pre-tax income increased 118% to USD 620 million in FY17, reflecting the consistent execution of our strategy. Our adjusted* return on regulatory capital increased to 4% for FY17. During the year, we delivered a substantial reduction in adjusted* operating expenses, while maintaining leading market positions across our core franchises. Adjusted net revenues5 of USD 5.6 billion in FY17 increased 5% year on year, reflecting substantially higher securitized products and increased debt and equity underwriting revenues, partially offset by persistently low trading volumes and a low volatility environment, which negatively impacted ITS, particularly in our macro products and equity derivatives businesses. Adjusted* operating expenses decreased 5% in 2017, demonstrating our strong cost discipline. We believe we are on track to achieve our 2018 ambition of adjusted* operating expenses below USD 4.8 billion. We continue to take a disciplined approach to investing in our franchise and to increasing cross-divisional collaboration. As a result, we believe we are well positioned to achieve our 2018 net revenue ambition of over USD 6 billion. In 4Q17, we saw a resilient performance in a challenging quarter with adjusted net revenues5 of USD 1.2 billion, a decrease of 5% year on year, as higher debt and equity underwriting activity and continued momentum in securitized products were offset by challenging trading conditions in ITS due to persistently low volumes and volatility. We saw a strong start to 1Q18, with net revenues9 up more than 10% compared to the same period of last year, reflecting strength in equity derivatives due to higher volatility and increased collaboration through the ITS partnership, as well as continued momentum in securitized products.

The results of Credit Suisse Group comprise the results of our six reporting segments, including the Strategic Resolution Unit, and the Corporate Center. Core results exclude revenues and expenses from our Strategic Resolution Unit.
As we move ahead with the implementation of our strategy, it is important to measure the progress achieved by our underlying business performance in a consistent manner. To achieve this, we will focus our analyses on adjusted results.
Adjusted results referred to in this Media Release are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude goodwill impairment and certain other revenues and expenses included in our reported results. Management believes that adjusted results provide a useful presentation of our operating results for the 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. We will report quarterly on the same adjusted* basis for the Group, Core and divisional results until end-2018 to allow investors to monitor our progress in implementing our strategy, given the material restructuring charges we are likely to incur and other items which are not reflective of our underlying performance but are to be borne in the interim period. Tables in the Appendix of this Media Release provide the detailed reconciliation between reported and adjusted results for the Group, Core businesses and the individual divisions.

The complete 4Q17 Earnings Release and Results Presentation Slides are not incorporated by reference into this Media Release.
Credit Suisse has not finalized its 2017 Annual Report and the Credit Suisse’s independent registered public accounting firm has not completed its audit of the consolidated financial statements for the period. Accordingly, the financial information contained in this Media Release is subject to completion of year-end procedures, which may result in changes to that information.
Information referenced in this Media Release, whether via website links or otherwise, is not incorporated into this Media Release.
Our cost savings program is measured using adjusted operating cost base at constant FX rates. “Adjusted operating cost base at constant FX rates” includes adjustments as made in all our disclosures for restructuring expenses, major litigation expenses and a goodwill impairment taken in 4Q15 as well as adjustments for certain accounting changes (which had not been in place at the launch of the cost savings program), debit valuation adjustments (DVA) related volatility and for FX, applying the following main currency exchange rates for 1Q15: USD/CHF 0.9465, EUR/CHF 1.0482, GBP/CHF 1.4296, 2Q15: USD/CHF 0.9383, EUR/CHF 1.0418, GBP/CHF 1.4497, 3Q15: USD/CHF 0.9684, EUR/CHF 1.0787, GBP/CHF 1.4891, 4Q15: USD/CHF 1.0010, EUR/CHF 1.0851, GBP/CHF 1.5123, 1Q16: USD/CHF 0.9928, EUR/CHF 1.0941, GBP/CHF 1.4060, 2Q16: USD/CHF 0.9756, EUR/CHF 1.0956, GBP/CHF 1.3845, 3Q16: USD/CHF 0.9728, EUR/CHF 1.0882, GBP/CHF 1.2764, 4Q16: USD/CHF 1.0101, EUR/CHF 1.0798, GBP/CHF 1.2451, 1Q17: USD/CHF 0.9963, EUR/CHF 1.0670, GBP/CHF 1.2464, 2Q17: USD/CHF 0.9736, EUR/CHF 1.0881, GBP/CHF 1.2603, 3Q17: USD/CHF 0.9645, EUR/CHF 1.1413, GBP/CHF 1.2695, 4Q17: USD/CHF 0.9853, EUR/CHF 1.1667, GBP/CHF 1.3230. These currency exchange rates are unweighted, i.e. a straight line average of monthly rates. We apply this calculation consistently for the periods under review.
Regulatory capital is calculated as the worst of 10% of RWA and 3.5% of leverage exposure. Return on regulatory capital is calculated using (adjusted) income / (loss) after tax and assumes a tax rate of 30% and capital allocated based on the worst of 10% of average RWA and 3.5% of average leverage exposure. For the Markets business within the APAC division and for the Global Markets and Investment Banking & Capital Markets divisions, return on regulatory capital is based on US dollar denominated numbers. Adjusted return on regulatory capital is calculated using adjusted results, applying the same methodology to calculate return on regulatory capital.
Return on tangible equity attributable to shareholders, a non-GAAP financial measure, is based on tangible shareholders’ equity attributable to shareholders, which is calculated by deducting goodwill and other intangible assets from total shareholders’ equity attributable to shareholders as presented in our balance sheet. Management believes that the return on tangible shareholders’ equity attributable to shareholders is meaningful as it allows consistent measurement of the performance of businesses without regard to whether the businesses were acquired.
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, 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.
In particular, the terms “Estimate”, “Illustrative”, “Ambition”, “Objective”, “Outlook” and “Goal” are not intended to be viewed as targets or projections, nor are they considered to be Key Performance Indicators. All such estimates, illustrations, ambitions, objectives, outlooks and goals are subject to a large number of inherent risks, assumptions and uncertainties, many of which are completely outside of our control. These risks, assumptions and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, general market conditions, market volatility, interest rate volatility and levels, global and regional economic conditions, political uncertainty, changes in tax policies, regulatory changes, changes in levels of client activity as a result of any of the foregoing and other factors. Accordingly, this information should not be relied on for any purpose. We do not intend to update these estimates, illustrations, ambitions, objectives, outlooks or goals.
In preparing this media release, management has made estimates and assumptions that affect the numbers presented. Actual results may differ. Annualized numbers do not take account variations in operating results, seasonality and other factors and may not be indicative of actual, full-year results. Figures throughout this media release may also be subject to rounding adjustments. All opinions and views constitute judgments as of the date of writing without regard to the date on which the reader may receive or access the information. This information is subject to change at any time without notice and we do not intend to update this information.
This document contains certain unaudited interim financial information for 2018. This information has been derived from management accounts, is preliminary in nature, does not reflect the complete results of the first quarter of 2018 and is subject to change, including as a result of any normal quarterly adjustments in relation to the financial statements for the first quarter of 2018. This information has not been subject to any review by our independent registered public accounting firm. There can be no assurance that the final results for these periods will not differ from these preliminary results, and any such differences could be material. Quarterly financial results for the first quarter of 2018 will be included in our 1Q18 Financial Report. These interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved for the remainder of 1Q18 or the full first quarter of 2018.
As of January 1, 2013, Basel III was implemented in Switzerland along with the Swiss “Too Big to Fail” legislation and regulations thereunder (in each case, subject to certain phase-in periods). 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 media release.
Unless otherwise noted, leverage exposure is based on the BIS leverage ratio framework and consists of period-end balance sheet assets and pre- scribed regulatory adjustments. The look-through tier 1 leverage ratio and CET1 leverage ratio are calculated as look-through 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.
Mandates penetration means advisory and discretionary mandates in private banking businesses as a percentage of the related AuM, excluding those from the external asset manager business.

Margin calculations for APAC are aligned with the performance metrics of the Private Banking business and its related assets under management within the Wealth Management & Connected business in APAC. Assets under management and net new assets for APAC relate to the Private Banking business within the Wealth Management & Connected business.
Net margin is calculated by dividing income before taxes by average assets under management. Adjusted net margins is calculated using adjusted results, applying the same methodology to calculate net margin.
When we refer to operating divisions throughout this Media Release, we mean SUB, IWM, APAC, IBCM and GM.

Adjusted results are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude goodwill impairment and certain other revenues and expenses included in our reported results. Management believes that adjusted results provide a useful presentation of our operating results for purposes of assessing our Group and divisional performance over time, on a basis that excludes items that management does not consider representative of our underlying performance. Refer to ”Reconciliation of adjusted results” for a reconciliation to the most directly comparable US GAAP measures.

Accordingly, the financial information contained in this presentation is subject to completion of year-end procedures, which may result in changes to that information.Cautionary statement regarding forward-looking statements This 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, 2016 and in the “Cautionary statement regarding forward-looking information" in our 4Q17 Earnings Release, published on February 14, 2018 and 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. In particular, the terms “Estimate”, “Illustrative”, “Ambition”, “Objective”, “Outlook” and “Goal” are not intended to be viewed as targets or projections, nor are they considered to be Key Performance Indicators. All such estimates, illustrations, ambitions, objectives, outlooks and goals are subject to a large number of inherent risks, assumptions and uncertainties, many of which are completely outside of our control. These risks, assumptions and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, general market conditions, market volatility, interest rate volatility and levels, global and regional economic conditions, political uncertainty, changes in tax policies, regulatory changes, changes in levels of client activity as a result of any of the foregoing and other factors. Accordingly, this information should not be relied on for any purpose. We do not intend to update these estimates, illustrations, ambitions, objectives, outlooks or goals. We may not achieve the benefits of our strategic initiativesWe 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, 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. Estimates and assumptionsIn preparing this presentation, management has made estimates and assumptions that affect the numbers presented. Actual results may differ. Annualized numbers do not take account of variations in operating results, seasonality and other factors and may not be indicative of actual, full-year results. Figures throughout this presentation may also be subject to rounding adjustments. All opinions and views constitute judgments as of the date of writing without regard to the date on which the reader may receive or access the information. This information is subject to change at any time without notice and we do not intend to update this information. Cautionary Statements Relating to Interim Financial Information This presentation contains certain unaudited interim financial information for 2018. This information has been derived from management accounts, is preliminary in nature, does not reflect the complete results of the first quarter of 2018 and is subject to change, including as a result of any normal quarterly adjustments in relation to the financial statements for the first quarter of 2018. This information has not been subject to any review by our independent registered public accounting firm. There can be no assurance that the final results for these periods will not differ from these preliminary results, and any such differences could be material. Quarterly financial results for the first quarter of 2018 will be included in our 1Q18 Financial Report. These interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved for the remainder of 1Q18 or the full first quarter of 2018.Statement regarding non-GAAP financial measuresThis presentation also contains non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted results. Information needed to reconcile such non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable measures under US GAAP can be found in this presentation in the Appendix, which is available on our website at www.credit-suisse.com.Statement regarding capital, liquidity and leverageAs of January 1, 2013, Basel III was implemented in Switzerland along with the Swiss “Too Big to Fail” legislation and regulations thereunder (in each case, subject to certain phase-in periods). 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. 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 look-through tier 1 leverage ratio and CET1 leverage ratio are calculated as look-through 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.SourcesCertain material in this presentation has been prepared by Credit Suisse on the basis of publicly available information, internally developed data and other third-party sources believed to be reliable. Credit Suisse has not sought to independently verify information obtained from public and third-party sources and makes no representations or warranties as to accuracy, completeness or reliability of such information.

We apply this calculation consistently for the periods under review. Adjusted non-compensation operating cost base is the adjusted operating cost base excluding compensation and benefits. To calculate the adjusted non-compensation cost base at constant FX rates, we subtract compensation and benefits (adjusted at constant FX rates in the manner described above) from the adjusted operating cost base at constant FX rates.† Regulatory capital is calculated as the worst of 10% of RWA and 3.5% of leverage exposure. Return on regulatory capital is calculated using (adjusted) income / (loss) after tax and assumes a tax rate of 30% and capital allocated based on the worst of 10% of average RWA and 3.5% of average leverage exposure. For the Markets business within the APAC division and for the Global Markets and Investment Banking & Capital Markets divisions, return on regulatory capital is based on US dollar denominated numbers. Adjusted return on regulatory capital is calculated using adjusted results, applying the same methodology to calculate return on regulatory capital.
