Media Release
Credit Suisse Group announces 4Q16 and FY16 results
Strong asset inflows in 2016 with increased margins, highlighting the strength, diversification and scale of the Wealth Management platform. NNA of CHF 28.5 billion1 in 2016, with record AuM up 8% to CHF 734 billion1
IBCM delivers best fourth quarter revenue performance since 2012. Significant increase in transaction activity maintained across ECM and DCM in January 2017
Rightsizing of GM substantially completed with good momentum in 4Q16 and a strong start to the year in January 2017. GM franchise well positioned to capture future upside
Look-through CET1 ratio of 11.6% post-DOJ RMBS settlement (12.5%2 pre-settlement), an improvement of 140 bps compared to 3Q15 CET1 ratio of 10.2% reported at announcement of our new strategy in October 2015
Look-through CET1 leverage ratio of 3.3% post-DOJ RMBS settlement (3.5%3 pre-settlement), an improvement of 50 bps compared to 3Q15 CET1 leverage ratio of 2.8% reported at announcement of our new strategy in October 2015
Key business highlights
• 4Q16 reported PTL of CHF 1,903 million; FY16 reported PTL of CHF 1,966 million
• 4Q16 adjusted* PTI of CHF 171 million; FY16 adjusted* PTI of CHF 615 million
• 4Q16 and FY16 net loss attributable to shareholders of CHF 2,347 million and CHF 2,438 million, respectively
• FY16 net cost savings of CHF 1.9 billion4, resulting in adjusted* total operating expenses of CHF 19.4 billion measured at constant FX rates, or CHF 19.1 billion at actual FX rates; exceeded end-2016 target of below CHF 19.8 billion
• Substantial progress in reducing legacy assets within SRU, with RWA and leverage exposure both down 39%, in US dollars, at end-2016 compared to end-2015
Continued progress in core franchises
• Strong NNA of CHF 28.5 billion1, up 58% compared to FY15 at higher adjusted* gross margin of 114 bp, demonstrating the scale and diversification of our Wealth Management franchise. Record FY16 Wealth Management AuM of CHF 734 billion1, up 8% compared to FY15
• FY16 NNA comprised CHF 14.3 billion of assets from Emerging Europe, the Middle East and Africa (13% growth rate), CHF 14.6 billion from the APAC region (10% growth rate), including positive inflows of CHF 0.7 billion in 4Q16, and CHF 4.2 billion from Europe, including International Private Clients (4% growth rate). NNA in Switzerland and in Latin America were negative in 4Q16. This was primarily due to the proactive measures we took to reduce the number of EAMs we work with in Switzerland, and was also driven by outflows from regularization both in Latin America and Switzerland
• Our Wealth Management focused divisions of SUB, IWM and APAC have made good progress. Compared to FY15, adjusted* PTI in SUB rose 9% (excluding Swisscard5) and adjusted* PTI in IWM rose 9% in FY16. In APAC Wealth Management and connected activities6 pro-forma PTI increased 65% in FY16
• Strong IBCM performance; FY16 net revenues in US dollars up 8% year on year, with higher market share across key products7. 4Q16 adjusted* net revenues of USD 569 million represent our strongest fourth quarter since 2012; FY16 IBCM adjusted* PTI in US dollars increased 219% compared to FY15
• Rightsizing of GM substantially completed with FY16 adjusted* PTI of USD 284 million in a year of significant restructuring. Improved operating leverage with FY16 revenues of USD 5,575 million
Tidjane Thiam, Chief Executive Officer of Credit Suisse, stated: “2016 was the first full year of implementing our new strategy and it was a challenging and busy 12 months. Thanks to our strong client franchise and the dedication of our teams, we have made good progress on our key objectives.”
“We have significantly reduced our fixed operating cost base and increased our operating leverage. We have generated industry-leading net inflows at higher margins. We have achieved meaningful successes in advisory and underwriting, with strong increases in both market share and profitability.7 We have substantially completed the rightsizing of GM and the division was profitable for FY16, with good momentum in 4Q16.”
“We have reached an agreement with the US Department of Justice on the RMBS matter, thus removing a major source of uncertainty for our future.”
“We have significantly strengthened the Group’s capital ratio, increasing the look-through CET1 ratio by 140 bps8 to 11.6% post-DOJ RMBS settlement compared to the ratio reported when we announced our new strategy in October 2015. Our look-through CET1 ratio pre-settlement would have been 12.5%2.”
“Our teams have worked hard and made good progress during a challenging year: they achieved a positive finish to the year. Many of the positive trends that we observed in 4Q16 have continued into January 2017. We believe we are well positioned to continue to make progress with our restructuring program in 2017 and 2018, and to capture profitable growth opportunities across our franchises and geographies.”
“With global geopolitical uncertainty increasing, we believe that our Swiss heritage and identity will be an asset as we work hard to provide performance, stability and safety for our clients around the world.”

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 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.
Overview of Group Performance and Outlook
Material increase in operating leverage
In the first year of our three-year strategic plan, we significantly reduced our adjusted* fixed cost base with CHF 1.9 billion4 of net savings, exceeding our 2016 expense reduction target of CHF 1.4 billion. Our adjusted* total operating cost base has been reduced to CHF 19.4 billion measured at constant FX rates or CHF 19.1 billion measured at actual FX rates, placing us on track to deliver against our end-2018 target adjusted* operating cost base of below CHF 17 billion. Our focus on driving down costs, while maintaining investment in growth businesses and improving our control framework, has created positive operating leverage for our business going forward.
Profitable growth in Wealth Management
We have significantly strengthened our asset gathering capabilities and delivered profitable growth across our Wealth Management businesses. Net asset inflows increased 58% to CHF 28.5 billion1 in 2016 at improved margins. These results are largely the product of our focus on UHNWI and entrepreneur clients. AuM increased by CHF 53 billion in 2016, with balanced progress between mature markets and emerging markets. In 4Q16, we generated strong inflows of assets in the Middle East and Eastern Europe and Western Europe as well as in Asia Pacific. As a result of our continuing regularization efforts, we recorded 4Q16 outflows, mainly in Latin America and in Switzerland. We have also implemented selected exits among our EAMs in Switzerland, leading to outflows in addition to the usual end-of-year outflows in that market.
Strength in advisory and origination
IBCM delivered a strong performance, reflecting the quality of our advisory platform. FY16 net revenues in US dollars were up 8% year on year, with the Americas up 15% over that period, while the Street was down 7% and 3%7, respectively. Advisory revenues were up 11% year on year, significantly outperforming the Street7, which saw revenues decline 4%. Our teams advised on 6 of the 10 largest announced M&A transactions during the year.9
In 4Q16, IBCM delivered adjusted* PTI of USD 142 million and net revenues of USD 569 million, representing our strongest fourth quarter since 2012 and outperforming the Street7 in all of our key product areas. IBCM’s adjusted* return on regulatory capital10 for 4Q16 was 22%.
Benefits from GM restructuring starting to emerge
In a year of significant restructuring, GM remained profitable with adjusted* PTI of USD 284 million in FY16. In 4Q16, GM revenues were higher than in 4Q15, despite a 20% reduction in RWA in US dollars. With an annualized11 adjusted* cost base of less than USD 5.2 billion12 for 2016, we remain on track to reach our adjusted* target of less than USD 4.8 billion in costs and to generate an adjusted* return on regulatory capital10 of 10-15% by end-2018.
Our franchise in the Americas delivered an improved performance in 4Q16, underscoring the potential of our platform to capture future upside. The Credit franchise showed strong momentum with a 66% increase in net revenues in US dollars in 4Q16 compared to 4Q15. Our Cash Equities and Prime Services businesses in the Americas remained resilient, offset by continued muted client activity in EMEA, while revenues in Solutions were impacted by low levels of volatility in equity derivatives.
We believe we are well positioned to benefit from further collaboration opportunities across the bank and our improved operating leverage.
Continued progress in the SRU
Over the past 12 months, the SRU has made significant progress in disposing of legacy positions and de-risking, with RWA and leverage exposure down by USD 29 billion (39%) and USD 67 billion (39%), respectively. In FY16, adjusted* total operating expenses decreased by USD 1,093 million compared to FY15.
Resolution of key legal issue
In January 2017, we announced that we had reached a final settlement with the DOJ related to our legacy RMBS business – a business conducted through 2007. It was a key strategic objective to put this matter behind us. In 4Q16, we recorded a provision of approximately USD 2 billion in addition to our existing provisions of USD 550 million in connection with this matter, which were recorded in prior periods.
Strengthening our capital position
As of December 31, 2016, we reported a look-through CET1 ratio of 11.6%, up 140 bps compared to the 3Q15 CET1 ratio of 10.2% reported when we announced our new strategy in October 2015. Without taking into account the impact of the settlement with the DOJ regarding our legacy RMBS business, we would have reached our highest-ever look-through CET 1 ratio of 12.5%2. The RMBS settlement removed a major source of uncertainty for the bank.
Current trading and outlook
In January 2017, we have seen positive inflows across each of our Wealth Management businesses. In GM, the momentum from 4Q16 has continued into January with continued client activity levels across capital markets and trading, particularly in our Credit and Securitized Products businesses with revenues for the month up over 100% compared to January 2016, somewhat offset by lower trading volumes and volatility levels in equities. In IBCM, we have seen a busy calendar of transaction pricing across both ECM and DCM, with IBCM net revenues for the month of January up 90% compared to January 2016.
We believe we are well positioned to seize opportunities to grow our business profitability. We have delivered against a number of our key strategic objectives and remain focused on executing with discipline. We believe that we will create significant value for our shareholders over time.
Swiss Universal Bank (SUB)
In 4Q16, SUB delivered year-on-year growth in adjusted* PTI for the fourth consecutive quarter – a good performance in a challenging Swiss market with negative interest rates. Adjusted* PTI of CHF 378 million increased 13% compared to 4Q15. Net revenues reflected stable NII and recurring commissions and fees, partially offset by lower transaction-based revenues compared to 4Q15, which included an extraordinary dividend from our ownership in SIX Group. Efficiency measures allowed us to generate savings and mitigate the costs of investing in regulatory, compliance and digitalization initiatives across the division. Adjusted* total operating expenses (excluding Swisscard5) decreased 4% compared to FY15. Credit provisions decreased by CHF 9 million and CHF 59 million compared to 4Q15 and FY15, respectively, reflecting the quality of our loan portfolio, an important characteristic of SUB. Adjusted* PTI (excluding Swisscard5) totaled CHF 1,738 million in FY16, up 9% from FY15. Adjusted* return on regulatory capital10 was 14% for FY16.
Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG successfully started operations in November 2016, marking the delivery of a major project and the delivery of a central commitment to our regulator FINMA. Our preparations are on track for the planned partial IPO of Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG13 in the second half of 2017, market conditions permitting and subject to the approval of the Board of Directors.
In Wealth Management, mandates penetration increased to 30% in 4Q16, an increase of 4 percentage points compared to 4Q15, driven by Credit Suisse Invest. Net asset outflows of CHF 3.5 billion in 4Q16 compared to outflows of CHF 2.9 billion in 4Q15, partly reflecting proactive measures to continuously improve our EAM network, leading to selected EAM exits. We also continued our efforts related to regularization. For FY16, asset inflows were CHF 2.1 billion, offset by further outflows from selected EAM exits and regularization of CHF 3.8 billion. AuM remained solid at CHF 242.9 billion, up 1% compared to FY15.
Our market-leading Corporate & Institutional Banking business delivered a strong quarter and a strong year. We retained our number one position in terms of announced M&A transactions14 and DCM15 deals in 2016. Total AuM in Corporate & Institutional Banking were CHF 288.6 billion, up 5% versus FY15. Our pipeline of business is strong and includes our advisory role in Johnson & Johnson’s announced USD 30 billion acquisition of the Swiss biotech firm Actelion Pharmaceuticals Ltd. Euromoney named us the ‘Best Investment Bank in Switzerland 2016’16 and International Financing Review the ‘Swiss Franc Bond House of the Year’17.
International Wealth Management (IWM)
IWM delivered a strong performance with 9% growth in adjusted* PTI to CHF 1,109 million in FY16, an increase in net revenues and record NNA in Wealth Management. IWM showed good momentum during the year and had a strong finish with 4Q16 adjusted* PTI of CHF 300 million. This 31% increase reflected higher NII, improved client activity and higher performance revenues compared to 4Q15. FY16 adjusted* total operating expenses remained stable, reflecting IWM’s success in self-funding investments in growth and in compliance and risk functions as a result of disciplined cost management. Adjusted* return on regulatory capital10 for the division improved to 23% for FY16.
In Wealth Management, we delivered a strong performance in 4Q16 with adjusted* net revenues of CHF 864 million, an increase of 8% compared to 4Q15. Adjusted* net revenues increased by CHF 104 million or 3% in 2016, with higher NII and, in 4Q16, higher client activity. AuM increased 12% to CHF 323.2 billion in FY16 with NNA of CHF 15.6 billion across emerging markets and Europe at a growth rate of 5%, or 7% before regularization outflows of CHF 5.7 billion, as a result of our proactive stance. Wealth Management was able to grow both AuM and the adjusted* gross margin, which improved by 3 bps to 110 bps in FY16. Adjusted* PTI was stable in 4Q16 and FY16, with higher expenses, mainly due to investments, offsetting higher revenues. Adjusted* PTI was up 15% compared to 4Q15 excluding an extraordinary dividend from SIX Group in 4Q15.
Asset Management reported strong adjusted* PTI of CHF 108 million and CHF 287 million in 4Q16 and FY16, up 177% and 54% compared to 4Q15 and FY15, respectively. Adjusted* total operating expenses decreased 9% in FY16, reflecting solid cost control during the year, while performance and placement revenues rose 27% and management fees increased 2%. NNA totaled CHF 5.6 billion in FY16, with net asset outflows in 4Q16, primarily reflecting emerging market money market outflows of CHF 3.5 billion.
Asia Pacific (APAC)
APAC delivered a strong performance in Wealth Management and connected activities6 in FY16 with pro-forma PTI of CHF 513 million, an increase of 65% year on year, and pro-forma return on regulatory capital10 of 23% in 2016.
We have an integrated approach to serving our clientele with our APAC Wealth Management business, our APAC underwriting and advisory business and our APAC Financing Group, all working closely together. We believe this approach was an important driver of the progress achieved in Wealth Management and connected activities6 in 2016.
Wealth Management generated record net revenues and record average AuM of CHF 171.6 billion in 4Q16, reflecting inflows of CHF 14.6 billion for FY16 and an annualized NNA growth rate of 10%. NNA were positive during 4Q16 at CHF 0.7 billion, despite the adverse impact of outflows due to regularization in 4Q16. Adjusted* gross margin improved by 15 bps compared to 4Q15 due to higher NII, recurring commissions and fees and transaction-based revenues, while adjusted* net margin increased by 8 bps. Credit Suisse was named the ‘Best Private Bank in Asia’ for the second year in succession and the third time overall by Asian Private Banker18.
Underwriting and advisory revenues increased 34% in US dollars compared to FY15 as a result of increased client activity. Credit Suisse is ranked number one in terms of share of wallet in Asia Pacific ex-Japan among international banks7.
The APAC Financing Group, set up in 2016, has been a key enabler to deliver an integrated approach to our core lending activities, resulting in a notable increase in deal flow across our key client segments in APAC.
Equity sales and trading revenues decreased 31% in FY16 compared to FY15 as they were adversely impacted by decreased client activity in Greater China. Fixed income sales and trading revenues remained resilient in FY16 despite significant declines in 4Q16.
APAC achieved adjusted* PTI of CHF 122 million in 4Q16 and of CHF 778 million in FY16. Adjusted* return on regulatory capital10 was 15% for FY16. Our Wealth Management and connected activities6 have had a very strong year and a very strong final quarter of 2016. Our focus on UHNWI and entrepreneurs has allowed us to grow both assets and margins in a challenging environment.
Investment Banking & Capital Markets (IBCM)
IBCM delivered a strong performance in FY16, reflecting excellent execution of our strategy presented in 2015, as evidenced by improved share of wallet across all key products and covered client segments7. Adjusted* PTI for FY16 was USD 297 million, up 219% compared to the prior year. Net revenues rose 8% year on year, driven by strong advisory and debt underwriting revenues, outperforming the Street7. Adjusted* total operating expenses decreased 5% compared to FY15, driven by cost discipline and the self-funding of growth investments.
In 4Q16, adjusted* PTI was USD 142 million and net revenues rose 36% compared to 4Q15 to USD 569 million, representing the strongest fourth quarter since 2012 and outperforming the Street7. Adjusted* return on regulatory capital10 increased to 12% in FY16.
Global advisory and underwriting19 revenues rose 9% compared to FY15, outperforming the industry-wide fee pool, which decreased 5%7. We have grown our market share of completed M&A transactions and have also achieved global top-5 market positions in Leverage Finance7 and ECM7 for 2016.
Global Markets (GM)
GM was profitable in a restructuring year with FY16 adjusted* PTI of USD 284 million, driven by a substantial reduction in costs and our ability to maintain leading market positions across our core franchises as we rightsized our business model. Adjusted* total operating expenses declined by USD 682 million compared to FY15.
In 4Q16, adjusted* PTI improved compared to 4Q15, reflecting more favorable market conditions and continued cost and capital discipline, highlighting the potential of the rightsized GM platform to capture future upside. Revenues improved across US leveraged finance trading and underwriting, securitized products and emerging markets businesses. In addition, excluding SMG, Equities revenues were resilient, as solid performance in Americas Cash Equities and Prime Services was offset by continued muted client activity in EMEA, and revenues in Solutions were impacted by low levels of volatility in equity derivatives.
GM ended 4Q16 with an annualized11 adjusted* operating cost base of less than USD 5.2 billion12, compared to USD 6.0 billion at end-2015. We are on track to achieve our end-2018 targets of less than USD 4.8 billion in costs and to generate an adjusted* return on regulatory capital10 of 10-15%. With increased capital efficiency and a reduced risk profile, we are operating at below our end-2016 RWA target of USD 60 billion and our USD 290 billion leverage exposure target.
Strategic Resolution Unit (SRU)
In 4Q16, the SRU continued to make significant progress in disposing of and de-risking legacy positions, with RWA and leverage exposure down by USD 11 billion and USD 16 billion, respectively, compared to 3Q16. RWA for derivative, loan and financing portfolios were reduced by 38% compared to 3Q16, through a broad range of transactions, including the sale of loan portfolios, and a large number of unwinds and compressions across macro and credit derivative products. Compared to FY15, RWA and leverage exposure both decreased by 39%, in US dollars, while the number of bilateral derivatives trades was reduced by 191,000 or 57%.
Compared to FY15, adjusted* total operating expenses decreased by USD 1,093 million or 41%, driven primarily by the exit from our US Private Banking onshore business and a reduced footprint in legacy investment banking businesses.
Adjusted* PTL of USD 516 million improved by USD 396 million compared to 4Q15. Exit costs were approximately 0.5% of RWA in 4Q16, which is below our revised long-term guidance of less than 3%. In 4Q16, we recorded a litigation provision of approximately USD 2 billion due to the settlement with the DOJ related to our legacy RMBS business. We aim to reduce the adjusted* full year PTI drag to approximately USD 800 million by end-2019.

10 Regulatory capital reflects the worst of 10% of RWA and 3.5% of leverage exposure. Return on regulatory capital is based on (adjusted) returns after tax assuming a tax rate of 30% for all periods and capital allocated based on the worst of 10% of average RWA and 3.5% of average leverage exposure. For GM and IBCM, return on regulatory capital is based on US dollars denominated numbers.
11 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.

Important information about the Swiss Universal Bank
The data presented in this media release relating to the Swiss Universal Bank refers to the division of Credit Suisse Group as the same is currently managed within Credit Suisse Group.
The scope, revenues and expenses of the Swiss Universal Bank vary from the planned scope of Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG and its subsidiaries, for which a partial IPO is planned, market conditions permitting. Any such IPO would involve the sale of a minority stake and would be subject to, among other things, all necessary approvals.
It is therefore not possible to make a like-for-like comparison of the Swiss Universal Bank as a division of Credit Suisse Group on the one hand and Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG as a potential IPO vehicle on the other hand.
Important information about this Media Release

“Adjusted operating expenses at constant FX rates” include 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 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 1.0000, 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. 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.
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 “Illustrative”, “Ambition”, “Outlook” and “Goal” are not intended to be viewed as targets or projections, nor are they considered to be Key Performance Indicators. All such illustrations, ambitions and goals are subject to a large number of inherent risks, assumptions and uncertainties, many of which are completely outside of our control. Accordingly, this information should not be relied on for any purpose. We do not intend to update these illustrations, ambitions or goals.
In preparing this media release, management has made estimates and assumptions that affect the numbers presented. Actual results may differ. Figures throughout this media release may also be subject to rounding adjustments. In particular, pro forma figures for Wealth Management and connected activities within APAC are based on preliminary estimates.
This presentation contains certain unaudited interim financial information for the year-to-date 2017, the date of our last published quarterly financial statements. This information has been derived from management accounts, is preliminary in nature, does not reflect the complete results of the first quarter of 2017 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 2017. 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 2017 will be included in our 1Q17 Financial Report. These interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved for the remainder of 1Q17 or the full first quarter of 2017.
As of January 1, 2013, Basel 3 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 prescribed regulatory adjustments. 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.
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.
When we refer to Wealth Management focused divisions throughout this Media Release, we mean APAC, IWM and SUB. References to the “Wealth Management” businesses in APAC, IWM and SUB refer to those divisions’ Private Banking businesses.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2016 Results Presentation to Investors and Analysts February 14, 2017
Disclaimer (1/2) The data presented in this presentation relating to the Swiss Universal Bank refers to the division of Credit Suisse Group as the same is currently managed within Credit Suisse Group. The scope, revenues and expenses of the Swiss Universal Bank vary from the planned scope of Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG and its subsidiaries, for which a partial initial public offering (IPO) is planned, market conditions permitting. Any such IPO would involve the sale of a minority stake and would be subject to, among other things, all necessary approvals.It is therefore not possible to make a like-for-like comparison of the Swiss Universal Bank as a division of Credit Suisse Group on the one hand and Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG as a potential IPO vehicle on the other hand.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, 2015 and in “Cautionary statement regarding forward-looking information" in our fourth quarter earnings release 2016 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. In particular, the terms “Illustrative”, “Ambition”, “Outlook” and “Goal” are not intended to be viewed as targets or projections, nor are they considered to be Key Performance Indicators. All such illustrations, ambitions and goals are subject to a large number of inherent risks, assumptions and uncertainties, many of which are completely outside of our control. Accordingly, this information should not be relied on for any purpose. We do not intend to update these illustrations, ambitions 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. Figures throughout presentation may also be subject to rounding adjustments. In particular, pro forma figures from Wealth Management and connected activities within APAC are based on preliminary estimates.Cautionary Statements Relating to Interim Financial InformationThis presentation contains certain unaudited interim financial information for the year-to-date 2017, the date of our last published quarterly financial statements. This information has been derived from management accounts, is preliminary in nature, does not reflect the complete results of the first quarter of 2017 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 2017. 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 2017 will be included in our 1Q17 Financial Report. These interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved for the remainder of 1Q17 or the full first quarter of 2017.
Disclaimer (2/2) 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 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. Capital and ratio numbers for periods prior to 2013 are based on estimates, which are calculated as if the Basel III 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. 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.Selling restrictionsThis document, and the information contained herein, is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of offers to purchase or subscribe for securities of Credit Suisse Group AG or Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG in Switzerland, the United States or any other jurisdiction. This document is not a prospectus within the meaning of article 652a of the Swiss Code of Obligations, nor is it a listing prospectus as defined in the listing rules of the SIX Swiss Exchange AG or any other exchange or regulated trading facility in Switzerland or a prospectus or offering document under any other applicable laws.
