Outlook

Stimulus measures and easing of monetary policy by central banks may help to mitigate slowing global economic growth over the medium term. Geopolitical tensions and trade disputes continue to impact investor confidence. Positive momentum toward resolving these issues would likely improve confidence and the economic outlook.

Low and persistent negative interest rates and expectations of further monetary easing will adversely affect net interest income compared with last year. Our regional and business diversification, along with actions that we are taking, will help to mitigate these headwinds. Recurring revenues should also benefit from higher invested assets.

As we execute on our strategy, we are balancing investments for growth while managing for efficiency. We remain committed to delivering on our capital return objectives and creating sustainable long-term value for our shareholders.

Effective , the definition of the numerator for return on tangible equity has been revised to align with numerators for return on equity and return on common equity tier 1 capital; i.e., we no longer adjust for amortization and impairment of goodwill and intangible assets. Prior periods have been restated. 5 Calculated as net profit attributable to shareholders (annualized as applicable) divided by average common equity tier 1 capital. 6 Calculated as operating income before credit loss expense or recovery (annualized as applicable) divided by average risk-weighted assets and average leverage ratio denominator, respectively. 7 Calculated as operating expenses divided by operating income before credit loss expense or recovery. 8 Calculated as adjusted operating expenses divided by adjusted operating income before credit loss expense or recovery. 9 Calculated as change in net profit attributable to shareholders from continuing operations between current and comparison periods divided by net profit attributable to shareholders from continuing operations of comparison period. 10 Based on the Swiss systemically relevant bank framework as of . Refer to the “Capital management” section of the UBS Group third quarter 2019 report for more information. 11 Refer to the “Balance sheet, liquidity and funding management” section of the UBS Group third quarter 2019 report for more information. 12 Includes invested assets for Global Wealth Management, Asset Management and Personal & Corporate Banking. 13 Refer to “UBS shares” in the “Capital management” section of the UBS Group third quarter 2019 report for more information. 14 Beginning with our Annual Report 2018, the calculation of market capitalization has been amended to reflect total shares outstanding multiplied by the share price at the end of the period. The calculation was previously based on total shares issued multiplied by the share price at the end of the period. Market capitalization has been reduced by as of and by as of as a result. 15 Total book value per share and tangible book value per share in Swiss francs are calculated based on a translation of equity under our US dollar presentation currency. As a consequence of the restatement to a US dollar presentation currency, amounts may differ from those originally published in our quarterly and annual reports.1 January 20191 January 202031 December 201830 September 2018USD 2.1 billionUSD 2.0 billion
