Media Release
Strong and consistent performance in 1Q15 and progress on strategic initiatives
• Reported net income of CHF 1.1 billion, up 23% year-on-year
• Strong performance from Wealth Management Clients with improved margins and profits
• Consistent strategic returns in Investment Banking; sales and trading benefitted from increased market volatility
• Further significant leverage reduction; on track to meet targets
• Limited impact from changed currency and interest rate environment post SNB announcement due to mitigating actions and improved market activity
April 21, 2015 Credit Suisse delivered a strong and consistent performance in 1Q15. Private Banking & Wealth Management results benefitted from a particularly strong performance in Wealth Management Clients. Investment Banking results reflected increased sales and trading revenues, while underwriting and advisory businesses had a slow start to the year.
Brady W. Dougan, Chief Executive Officer, said: “We delivered another quarter of strong and consistent performance. Wealth Management Clients generated a particularly strong result, with improved margins, increased profitability and good net asset inflows from key growth regions. In our well-diversified Investment Banking franchise, we achieved consistent strategic results and reported a return on regulatory capital of 19%, despite further significant deleveraging.”
“Our swift and proactive response to the changed currency and interest rate environment post the Swiss National Bank’s announcement, combined with an improvement in market activity, mitigated the impact on our results and led to higher revenues in our Wealth Management Clients business.”
“Looking at the second quarter to date, the momentum in the businesses has carried over from the first quarter, with an improving trend in underwriting and advisory. We remain committed to our capital and leverage goals and expect to make further progress in executing our strategic initiatives over the balance of 2015.”

Improved reported results and further progress in winding down the non-strategic units
• Net income attributable to shareholders increased by 23% compared to 1Q14
For the first quarter, reported Core pre-tax income was CHF 1,538 million, representing a 10% increase compared to 1Q14, and return on equity was 10%. Net income attributable to shareholders was CHF 1,054 million, compared to CHF 859 million in 1Q14.
Reported Core net revenues increased slightly year-over-year, reflecting higher strategic net revenues in Investment Banking and in the Corporate Center, partially offset by slightly lower net revenues in Private Banking & Wealth Management. The non-strategic businesses reported net revenues of CHF 83 million, compared to negative net revenues of CHF 61 million in 1Q14.
Consistent and strong strategic results in both divisions
• Strategic results in Private Banking & Wealth Management with particularly strong contribution from Wealth Management Clients, including improved margins
• Investment Banking strategic results reflecting strength of diversified franchise with slightly higher revenues, despite significant deleveraging
• Continued strong growth in Asia Pacific across both divisions
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 our businesses perform when excluding the drag from the non-strategic results.
For the first quarter of 2015, strategic pre-tax income was CHF 1,822 million and strategic net income attributable to shareholders was CHF 1,235 million. This compares to strategic pre-tax income of CHF 1,944 million and strategic net income attributable to shareholders of CHF 1,404 million for 1Q14. Strategic return on equity for 1Q15 was 12%, compared to the 15% through-the-cycle Group target.
For further detail on the strategic results by division, see the Private Banking & Wealth Management and Investment Banking results descriptions below.
Key growth regions: Credit Suisse continues to leverage and expand its strong position in key growth regions. The Asia Pacific region continues to be a strong driver of growth in both Private Banking & Wealth Management and Investment Banking, contributing 16% to the overall revenues of Credit Suisse.

Private Banking & Wealth Management: Strategic businesses with improved profitability
• Strong Wealth Management Clients results with improved margins and profit
• Strong total net new assets of CHF 17.0 billion driven by inflows in key growth regions
• Launch of digital private banking platform and new mandates offering
In 1Q15, Private Banking & Wealth Management reported net revenues of CHF 2,972 million and pre-tax income of CHF 834 million. The strategic businesses of Private Banking & Wealth Management generated pre-tax income of CHF 938 million with higher client activity in Wealth Management Clients and lower revenues in Asset Management. The return on regulatory capital for the strategic businesses was 24%, reflecting solid revenues and continued progress in efficiency improvements. The return on capital decreased from prior quarters, reflecting a methodology change in 1Q15 given higher capital requirements amid the evolving regulatory environment.
Wealth Management Clients reported a net margin of 30 basis points. Year-on-year, the net margin increased by 1 basis point, reflecting higher revenues and lower expenses. Compared to 4Q14, the net margin improved by 3 basis points, benefitting from a decrease in average assets under management, largely due to the foreign exchange impact. In spite of the low interest rate environment, net interest income in Wealth Management Clients increased as a result of the mitigating actions taken and the cumulative benefit of our lending program.
Private Banking & Wealth Management recorded strategic net new assets of CHF 18.4 billion in 1Q15. Wealth Management Clients contributed net new assets of CHF 7.0 billion with strong inflows from Asia Pacific, the Americas and Switzerland. Total net new assets for Private Banking & Wealth Management were CHF 17.0 billion in 1Q15, including CHF 1.4 billion of outflows due to the ongoing regularization of our asset base.
In 1Q15, the non-strategic businesses of Private Banking and Wealth Management reached the end-2015 risk-weighted asset and leverage reduction targets, ahead of schedule. The non-strategic businesses reported a pre-tax loss of CHF 104 million, with lower revenues and operating expenses primarily reflecting the wind-down of operations.
Strategic initiatives: Private Banking & Wealth Management successfully executed on its growth initiatives during the quarter. In Switzerland and selected other markets, the bank launched its new advisory offering Credit Suisse Invest, focusing on improving flexibility and transparency for clients. This is part of its effort to further increase mandate penetration and during the first quarter there was strong sales momentum, which is expected to continue over time.
Since 2013, Credit Suisse has been expanding its lending program to ultra-high-net-worth clients. Loan volume increased by 39% with progress across all regions, despite muted growth in 1Q15.
Additionally, in light of the evolving digital landscape, Credit Suisse has created a state-of-the-art digital private banking platform, which has already been successfully launched in Singapore. With this platform, Credit Suisse aims to upgrade its service offering and make it even more accessible to clients.

Investment Banking: Consistent strategic results and significant leverage reduction
• High strategic return on regulatory capital of 19%, assuming a 3% average leverage exposure, underscoring consistency of diversified franchise
• Leverage exposure reduced by USD 97 billion in 1Q15 across strategic and non-strategic businesses
Investment Banking generated reported net revenues of CHF 3,583 million and pre-tax income of CHF 945 million, up 14% compared to 1Q14. Additionally, Credit Suisse made continued progress toward improving the capital efficiency of Investment Banking across strategic and non-strategic businesses. Compared to end-2014, the division reduced its leverage exposure by USD 97 billion to USD 697 billion, reflecting a positive impact from the transition to the new BCBS leverage framework, post-mitigating measures and consistent progress on planned reductions. In US dollars, risk-weighted assets increased slightly compared to the previous quarter, as an increase in risk-weighting calculations offset business reductions.
In the strategic businesses, pre-tax income was CHF 1,115 million, stable compared to 1Q14, on slightly higher revenues. Fixed income sales and trading revenues improved compared to 1Q14 due to increased client activity, particularly in global macro products and emerging markets. Equities sales and trading results were strong, reflecting a more favorable trading environment and sustained market shares. The strength in the sales and trading businesses offset a slowdown in underwriting and advisory, which had a difficult start to the year with a decrease in advisory market share. Compared to 1Q14, total operating expenses increased in Swiss francs but decreased in US dollars, reflecting the foreign exchange impact of the weakening of the Swiss franc on an average basis against the US dollar.
Investment Banking’s non-strategic businesses reported a pre-tax loss of CHF 170 million and negative net revenues of CHF 43 million in 1Q15. Negative net revenues were lower compared to 1Q14, primarily due to valuation gains in the legacy fixed income portfolio, proactive portfolio management initiatives and lower funding costs.

Further leverage reductions and continued strong capital generation
• Continued progress in reducing leverage exposure; on track to meet year-end target
• Look-through CET1 ratio of 10%
In recent years, there was a shift in regulatory focus toward 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.
As announced in February, Credit Suisse has revised the leverage exposure target for the Group to CHF 960–990 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 CHF 95 billion, largely driven by Investment Banking, where the reductions had a limited impact on revenues. The reductions also reflect the positive impact from the transition to the new BCBS leverage framework. At quarter end, the look-through Swiss leverage ratio was 4.2% and the look-through BIS tier 1 leverage ratio was 3.6%, of which the CET1 component was 2.6%.
Another important metric to measure the capital position of banks is the look-through CET1 ratio, which fully applies the requirements as of 2019. At the end of the first quarter, Credit Suisse’s look-through CET1 ratio stood at 10%, slightly lower than at year-end 2014, due to a combination of the foreign exchange impact, seasonal share purchases for employee compensation plans and the impact on risk-weighted assets from regulatory and mandated methodology changes.
Achieved ~CHF 3.6 billion in cost savings since 2011
• Cost reduction goal for end-2015 revised to between CHF 4.0–4.25 billion
As of the end of 1Q15, Credit Suisse achieved cost savings of approximately CHF 3.6 billion since the start of the expense reduction program in 2011. Further cost savings are expected to be delivered over the balance of the year, reaching CHF 4.0–4.25 billion by the end of 2015. However, headwinds from higher risk, compliance and regulatory costs across both divisions are anticipated. Credit Suisse also remains committed to achieving incremental cost savings of approximately CHF 200 million by the end of 2017 through a better alignment of the Swiss franc cost and revenue base within Private Banking & Wealth Management.

First Quarter 2015 Results Presentation to Investors April 21, 2015
Disclaimer 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" and in “Cautionary statement regarding forward-looking information” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 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 measures This 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 leverage As 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. This framework may also be referred to as the BCBS leverage ratio framework in this presentation. 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. We have revised previously reported estimates of BCBS leverage amounts for 4Q14 to take into account refinements in our calculation of BCBS leverage amounts. 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 1Q15. April 21, 2015 *
