Zurich, October 25, 2012 Credit Suisse Group reports 3Q12 and 9M12 results and provides an update on the implementation of the previously announced capital measures.

Brady W. Dougan, Chief Executive Officer, said: “We are successfully executing on the strategic measures we began last year, while maintaining strong momentum with our clients. We have realigned our business to better meet the demands of a changed regulatory and market environment and, in doing so, have substantially reduced risks. At the same time, we have significantly cut costs and improved efficiencies across the bank. Additionally, we have further strengthened our capital base and have improved our balance sheet structure to meet future regulatory requirements. Despite this, we have built a very strong platform to provide the best advice and service to our clients.”

He continued: “In the third quarter of 2012, our businesses produced solid earnings, while at the same time improving the efficiency of their operations. We expect to deliver savings in excess of the CHF 3.0 billion previously announced for full year 2013 and we are committed to deliver additional cost savings in subsequent years. The implementation of the capital actions we announced in July 2012 is well underway. By the end of the third quarter, our Look-through Swiss Core Capital ratio stood at 8.2% and we are confident that, through the completion of the capital measures we announced and the further risk reduction in Investment Banking, we will be at around 9.3% on a pro-forma basis by end-2012 and are on track to achieve our target and the Swiss end-2018 requirement of 10% by mid-2013.”

He concluded: “Year to date, we have generated an underlying* return on equity of 10% in what we consider to be a very volatile environment with low levels of client activity. We are confident that the full implementation of the strategic, capital and cost-savings measures that we began in 2011 will enable us to reach our target return on equity of 15% or more over the cycle as well as the other stated targets for the bank.”

3Q12 Results Summary
Credit Suisse Group reported 3Q12 core pre-tax income of CHF 359 million, net income attributable to shareholders of CHF 254 million, a return on equity of 2.9% and net new assets of CHF 5.3 billion. 3Q12 results reflected fair value losses on own debt of CHF 1,048 million before taxes, reflecting a significant tightening in own credit spreads.

Underlying* core pre-tax income for 3Q12 was CHF 1,203 million, underlying* net income attributable to shareholders was CHF 891 million and underlying* return on equity was 9.6%. This represents an improvement compared to underlying* core pre-tax income of CHF 1,148 million in 2Q12 and an underlying* core pre-tax loss of CHF 34 million in 3Q11.

Cost saving measures
After successfully delivering CHF 2.0 billion of cost reductions in 6M12 versus adjusted* annualized 6M11 run rate and increasing the full year 2013 cost savings target to CHF 3.0 billion in July 2012, Credit Suisse announced today that it intends to further increase its savings target by CHF 0.5 billion, to be achieved during 2014, and by another CHF 0.5 billion to be achieved during 2015, thereby targeting a total of CHF 4.0 billion in cost savings versus the adjusted* annualized cost run rate of 6M11. In 3Q12, related business realignment costs of CHF 144 million were recognized in the Corporate Center.

Capital and funding
In July 2012, Credit Suisse announced a number of measures to strengthen its capital by CHF 15.3 billion in light of the current regulatory and market environment.

As of the end of 3Q12, CHF 12.8 billion of the previously announced total of CHF 15.3 billion of additional capital until end-2012 has already been achieved. The Look-through Swiss Core Capital ratio as of the end of 3Q12 stands at 8.2% and Credit Suisse is confident it will be at around 9.3% by end-2012 on a pro-forma basis, will achieve the Swiss end-2018 requirement of 10% in mid-2013 and will approach 12% by year-end 2013.

As of the end of 3Q12, Credit Suisse reported a Basel II.5 core tier 1 ratio of 14.7% and a Basel II.5 tier 1 ratio of 18.5%, up 2.2 percentage points and 2.0 percentage points, respectively, versus 2Q12. As of the end of 3Q12, Credit Suisse reported a total capital ratio of 21.2%.

Credit Suisse today announced it will further reduce risk-weighted assets in Investment Banking to USD 180 billion by end-2013 from USD 204 billion in 3Q12.

Credit Suisse today also announced targeted measures to reduce total balance sheet assets by CHF 130 billion or 13% by end-2013 on a foreign-exchange neutral basis. These measures are expected to have a limited impact on the bank’s earnings and will increase its leverage ratio. As of the end of 3Q12, Credit Suisse’s FINMA leverage ratio stood at 5.2%, well in excess of current requirements.

Credit Suisse is continuing to conservatively manage its liquidity, with an estimated Net Stable Funding Ratio under the current FINMA framework in excess of 100% as of the end of 3Q12.

Segment Results Detail

Private Banking
Private Banking, which comprises the global Wealth Management Clients business and the Swiss Corporate & Institutional Clients business, reported net revenues of CHF 2,591 million and income before taxes of CHF 689 million in 3Q12. The results reflected margin pressure in an operating environment with low client activity and increasing costs of doing business, partially mitigated by the continuing implementation of our strategic initiatives. Net revenues were stable compared to 3Q11. In comparison to 2Q12, net revenues were 4% lower, reflecting a decrease in all major revenue categories. Total operating expenses were stable compared to 3Q11and 2Q12, when adjusting for litigation provisions of CHF 478 million in 3Q11 in connection with US and German tax matters.

The Wealth Management Clients business reported net revenues of CHF 2,117 million, stable compared to 3Q11, with higher net interest income, stable recurring commissions and fees and lower transaction-based revenues. Compared to 2Q12 net revenues were 5% lower, reflecting a decrease in all major revenue categories. Net interest income decreased slightly in a challenging interest rate environment. The decrease in transaction-based revenues compared to the prior quarter was mainly due to gains recognized in 2Q12 from the integration of Clariden Leu, of which CHF 41 million related to the sale of a non-core business. This was partially offset by higher brokerage and product issuing fees in 3Q12. Recurring commissions and fees were lower, primarily due to semi-annual performance fees in the previous quarter. Income before taxes was CHF 483 million in 3Q12. This compares to a loss before taxes of CHF 9 million in 3Q11, which included litigation provisions of CHF 478 million, and income before taxes of CHF 551 million in 2Q12, which included the gains from the integration of Clariden Leu. Total operating expenses of CHF 1,608 million were slightly lower compared to 3Q11, excluding the 3Q11 litigation provisions. Compared to 2Q12, total operating expenses were slightly lower, with lower compensation and benefits partially offset by higher general and administrative expenses, primarily driven by higher regulatory costs. Provision for credit losses was CHF 26 million on a loan portfolio of CHF 145 billion. The gross margin of 107 basis points decreased significantly compared to both 3Q11 and 2Q12, reflecting the 2Q12 gain from the integration of Clariden Leu, the conservative client asset mix, low levels of client activity, the continued adverse interest rate environment and an increase in assets under management. By the end of 3Q12 Wealth Management assets under management were CHF 803.3 billion, up from CHF 774.1 billion in 2Q12 and CHF 721.8 billion in 3Q11.

The Corporate & Institutional Clients business, which provides comprehensive coverage for all the financial service needs of corporate and institutional clients in Switzerland and for banks worldwide, reported net revenues of CHF 474 million, stable compared to 3Q11 and slightly lower compared to 2Q12. In 3Q12 income before taxes of CHF 206 million was 5% lower compared to 3Q11, reflecting higher provision for credit losses and slightly higher total operating expenses. Compared to 2Q12, income before taxes was 8% lower, mainly driven by lower net revenues and higher operating expenses.

Investment Banking
In 3Q12, Investment Banking reported net revenues of CHF 3,296 million and income before taxes of CHF 508 million.

Investment Banking’s normalized* after-tax return on Basel III allocated capital in its ongoing businesses increased from 6% in 9M11 to 16% in 9M12, reflecting a more balanced business mix, continued market share momentum, significant Basel III risk-weighted asset reduction and increased operating leverage.

In the third quarter, Investment Banking results demonstrated strong franchise momentum and the continued execution of the strategy to increase operating and capital efficiencies.

Fixed income sales and trading revenues of CHF 1,496 million reflected solid client flow and favorable trading conditions. Relative to 3Q11, results were 178% higher, driven by a substantial increase in securitized products and global credit products revenues, due to a more favorable market environment with greater client demand for higher yielding instruments, and improved results in emerging markets. Results benefitted from a more balanced business portfolio with reduced revenue volatility, reflecting the significant decline in inventory levels as part of our refined strategy. Revenues also increased 26% compared to 2Q12 due to stronger performance in securitized products and global credit products, higher revenues from corporate lending and lower losses from the businesses that Credit Suisse is exiting.
Equity sales and trading revenues of CHF 1,026 million increased 15% compared to 3Q11, reflecting favorable capital market conditions, despite lower secondary market volumes. Compared to 2Q12, revenues were 11% lower, reflecting weaker derivatives revenues due to conservative risk positioning in Asia and a seasonal decline in prime services revenues.
Underwriting and advisory revenues of CHF 868 million were 43% and 35% higher relative to 3Q11 and 2Q12, respectively, driven by strong debt underwriting revenues due to robust high yield and investment grade issuance volumes. Equity underwriting results also improved, reflecting higher revenues from global follow-on and convertibles offerings. In addition, mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and advisory revenues increased, driven by higher M&A advisory and private placement fees.
Compensation and benefits increased CHF 63 million, or 4%, from 2Q12, primarily reflecting higher deferred compensation expense from prior-year awards. Total operating expenses in 9M12, excluding the deferred compensation expense of CHF 418 million related to PAF2 in 1Q12 and certain significant litigation matters of CHF 136 million in 3Q12, were down by CHF 932 million, or 10%, compared to 9M11.
General and administrative expenses of CHF 1,027 million in 3Q12 increased 14% relative to 3Q11and 22% relative to 2Q12. The increase was driven by certain significant Investment Banking litigation provisions of CHF 136 million, primarily concerning mortgage-related matters.

Asset Management
Asset Management reported net revenues of CHF 607 million and income before taxes of CHF 222 million.

The sale of Credit Suisse’s remaining holding in Aberdeen Asset Management in July 2012 resulted in a gain of CHF 140 million. In 2Q12 and 3Q11, gains of CHF 66 million and CHF 15 million, respectively, were recognized from earlier sales. In addition to the gain on Aberdeen, equity participations and other gains included an impairment of CHF 38 million related to Asset Management Finance LLC. Excluding the

gains from these sales and the impairment, income before taxes was CHF 120 million in 3Q12, CHF 67 million in 2Q12 and CHF 82 million in 3Q11.

Fee-based revenues of CHF 438 million decreased 14% and 8% compared to 3Q11and 2Q12 respectively, with lower performance fees and carried interest and lower equity participations income. The fee-based margin was 48 basis points compared to 56 basis points in 3Q11.

Investment-related gains of CHF 101 million in 3Q12 compared to a CHF 17 million loss in 3Q11 and gains of CHF 27 million in 2Q12.

Total operating expenses of CHF 385 million were down 3% compared to 3Q11 and down 8% compared to 2Q12. Total operating expenses for 9M12 were down CHF 48 million, or 4%, compared to 9M11, despite the adverse foreign exchange translation impact.

Capital and liquidity disclosures
The definitions of regulatory capital and capital ratios used in this press release refer to the regulations under the Swiss “Too-Big-to-Fail” regime as determined by FINMA. Ratio calculations based on these capital definitions use projected Basel III year-end 2012 risk-weighted assets. The expected end-2012 ratios are based on a pro-forma calculation assuming successful completion of the capital measures announced in July 2012 and using Bloomberg consensus net income estimates (adjusted for actual 9M12 net income and fair value losses on own debt in 3Q12) and Credit Suisse Basel III risk-weighted assets estimates. The calculation of net stable funding ratio (NSFR) is based on the current FINMA framework. As Basel III will not be implemented before January 1, 2013, our Basel III risk-weighted assets, capital and NSFR were calculated in accordance with the currently proposed requirements and our current interpretation of such requirements, including relevant assumptions. Changes in the actual implementation of Basel III, FINMA rules and regulations or any of our assumptions or estimates would result in different numbers from those used in the release.

Disclaimer Cautionary statement regarding forward-looking statements This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements 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, 2011 and in "Cautionary statement regarding forward-looking information" in our third quarter report 2012 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 laws. Statement regarding non-GAAP financial measures This presentation also contains non-GAAP financial measures. Information needed to reconcile such non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable measures under GAAP can be found in this presentation and in our third quarter report 2012. Statement regarding Basel 3 disclosures As Basel 3 will not be implemented before January 1, 2013, we have calculated our Basel 3 risk-weighted assets, capital and net stable funding ratio (NSFR) for purposes of this presentation in accordance with the currently proposed requirements and our current interpretation of such requirements, including relevant assumptions. We have calculated year-end 2012 capital ratios on a pro-forma basis, assuming successful completion of the capital measures announced in July 2012 and we have calculated NSFR based on the current FINMA framework. Changes in the actual implementation of Basel 3, FINMA rules and regulations or any of our assumptions or estimates would result in different numbers from those shown in this presentation.

Libor matter October 25, 2012 Regulatory authorities in a number of jurisdictions have for an extended period of time been investigating the setting of LIBOR and other reference rates. Credit Suisse, which is a member of only three rate-setting LIBOR panels (US Dollar LIBOR, Swiss Franc LIBOR and Euro LIBOR), is cooperating fully with these investigations. Credit Suisse has done a significant amount of work over the last two years to respond to regulatory inquiries. Based on our work to date, we do not currently believe that Credit Suisse is likely to have material issues in relation to LIBOR and we have shared these findings with the relevant regulators; of course, our review in response to ongoing regulatory inquiries is continuing. In addition Credit Suisse has been named in various civil lawsuits filed in the United States relating to LIBOR. These lawsuits are factually and legally meritless with respect to Credit Suisse and we will vigorously defend ourselves against them. *
 
 
 

 
US tax matter October 25, 2012 The matter is a complex situation that Credit Suisse takes very seriously, and we are cooperating with the US and Swiss authorities. At this point we cannot give you any information on timing as the matter is complex and obviously directly dependent on the discussions between the US and the Swiss governments. The cross-border business with US clients was comparatively small in relation to our overall wealth management business as we significantly exited the US offshore business beginning back in 2008. We continue to build our US onshore franchise and we have made significant progress over the last years as the US remains a significant wealth management market that we want to be present in. We do not see a direct impact from this matter on our ability to generate asset inflows; however, we will incur legal and other expenses related to resolving this matter We reserved USD 325 mn for this matter in 3Q11. *
