We believe that UBSs decision to radically shrink the capital consumption of its value-destructive IB division by a further 57%, and cut IB headcount by some 7,000 will more than double the Groups capadjusted Return on Basel 3 Equity (RoB3E) from 11.2% in 2012 to 26.0% in 2015. With the capital released we expect dividends of at least CHF1.10 by 2015 implying a sustainable yield of 7.4% with special dividends taking the 2015-17e average yield to 11.9%. We believe that the effect of all this remains markedly underappreciated by the market. BUY with a price target of CHF18. By contrast, CS remains committed to its low-RoE IB division which by 2015 we estimate will still consume c60% of group capital whilst earning returns of just 5.2% - well below the cost of equity. An ongoing risk of cross-division subsidisation will depress the rating. On this basis we believe that CS trades at around fair value. HOLD but watch for any hint of shrinking and capital rationing at the IB, in which case there is the possibility of an immediate 8-15% upside.
Dramatic cost reduction for UBS, less so at CS: By 2015e we expect UBS will have cut operating expenses
by CHF3bn (13%) via a 15% reduction in headcount. CS will have reduced costs by a more mundane 4%, CHF0.9bn, with a 4% decline in head count.
Rapidly improving capital positions for both UBS and CS: By YE14e UBS will have a Basel 3 core equity
tier 1 of 13.6% (vs 3Q12: 9.3%), well in excess of its self imposed capital target. CS will have reached a less impressive 11.0% (3Q12: 7.5%), but ahead of fully implemented regulatory requirements.
Stable/falling RWAs by 2014/15 imply both UBS and CS will be strongly cash generative: By YE 15e UBS
will achieve returns of 26% (capital & regulation adj.) on RWAs of CHF200bn. Declining RWAs and improving capital ratios can allow for significant distributions eg. A potential dividend of CHF1.75 in 2015 (11.7% yield). Similar logic implies a 7.7% yield for CS (although it is likely to deploy much of this cash in its IB in our view).
UBS has CHF24.6bn of unrecognised potential deferred tax assets (UPDTAs) due to historic losses. We
estimate an NPV for these of CHF 7.5bn (13% mkt cap, or CHF2.0/share) which bolsters our valuation case.
Valuation: We use a SoTPs valuation approach taking account of UBSs superior capital position and UPDTAs
as well as the higher regulatory drag CS is likely to experience from coming regulatory changes. For a variety of reasons we apply a higher multiple to UBS WM business. We suggest 18% relative upside for UBS vs. CS.

Both UBS and CS are reducing costs to address a weaker revenue environment. However UBS plans a considerably more aggressive 57% shrinkage in IB RWAs, vs 3Q12 level, via radical restructuring. By contrast CS still maintains committed to its IB division which will consume 63% of Group Capital by YE15e while generating returns on Basel 3 equity of only 5.2% (post Basel 3/ Dodd Frank/cost savings). As a result by 2015, UBS will have a capital and regulation adjusted RoB3E of 26.0% vs. only 13.3% for CS a divergence not yet fully discounted in our view. Over time we expect UBS share price outperformance may encourage CS to follow suit boosting fair value by 8-16% UBS and CS face a sluggish revenue environment. We estimate by 2015 revenues will be c 13-15% below 2010 levels. However both UBS and CS have credible plans to reduce costs (figure 15) to counter subdued revenue outlook. We estimate cost income ratios for both banks of 72-74% by 2015e from 2012e levels of 78-81%.

2012-15e: UBS RoB3E will more than double; limited improvement for CS Despite both banks making significant improvements in attributable income, UBS will deliver a stronger increase in Cap&Reg adjusted RoB3E 2012-15e, rising from 11.2% to 26.0% compared to CSs more subdued rise from 9.8% to 13.3% for CS. This divergence explains much of expected TSR outperformance we expect for UBS.

For UBS the underlying RoB3E will more than double from 20122015e vs. a much more muted 32% rise for CS mainly due to differences in divergence in capital consumption but also due to more rapid earnings growth due to business mix changes
Comparing Return on Basel 3 equity (RoB3E) is more meaningful than RoTCE due to differences in composition of TCE for both banks: As figure 8 illustrates due to items such as unrealised losses from cash flow hedges, TCE per share is 73% higher than Basel 3 equity regulatory capital for UBS vs. only 42% for CS which misleadingly depresses UBSs relative RoTCE. Since Basel 3 equity capital determines capital adequacy, RoB3E is a more meaningful

10 January 2013
Analysis of composition of TCE shows that a relatively large proportion of UBSs tangible book value is not eligible Basel 3 equity capital which tends to misleadingly understate relative returns on equity vs. CS.

Alternatively solving for a steady 13.6% Basel 3 equity ratio (the YE13e level)
implies an average annual 11.9% yield over 2015-17.
The maximum sustainable underlying yield over the same period assuming 5%
annual growth would be 7.9% (assuming 5% normalised RWA growth) implying a 4% annual special dividend from 2015-17e (i.e. 7.9%+4.0%=11.9%) as the business transitions.

UBS: Obvious future risk of substantial cash generation leading to complacency/ valuedilutive M&A; manageable risk in our view with the right management incentives
Given UBSs significant cash generation, we see downside risk from potentially
value destroying acquisitions. It remains to be seen whether management will distribute the maximum appropriate level of capital to shareholders.

Both UBS and CS undertaking significant cost save initiatives through 2015e likely to significantly improve PBT
For UBS we assume CHF3bn of cost reduction 2015e vs. 2012e
UBS cost reduction plan, 2013-2015e Limited efficiency gains in 2012e: On an underlying basis UBS will increase costs by CHF0.5bn in 2012 to CHF 22.5bn vs. 2011 adversely impacted by a CHF0.6bn adverse FX move.
Mgmt target CHF4bn of cost saves by 2015e: From the 2012e cost run-rate of
CHF22.5bn, Management have committed to a further CHF4bn reduction by 2015 to cCHF18.5bn in 2015e, or CHF2.5bn net of CHF1.5bn of investment spend.
Our 2015e CS cost income ratio of 74% is below an estimated Bloomberg consensus 76%
On a revenue adjusted basis where changes in costs are adjusted for changes
in revenues assuming a marginal 75% cost income ratio, we forecast CS will eliminate CHF1.0bn in costs by 2015e equivalent to 5% of total costs. This looks feasible given

By YE15e UBS will have only 16% more staff than CS down from 30% currently
By 2015E UBS plans to have reduced head count by 15% to 54,000 down from
the 3Q12 level of 63,700 mainly within the IB division where we estimate staff reduction from 16,500 to 9,500 by YE15e.
By contrast Credit Suisse has publicly committed to staff cuts of only 2,000 from
the 2Q11 levels, which were already largely complete by 3Q12 with a total staff level of 48,400.
We estimate that Credit Suisse will cut a further 2,000 jobs by YE15e implying
total headcount of 46,400 (although CS has not given staffing level guidance-
12
www.liberumcapital.com
10 January 2013
apparently for legal reasons according to IR). We expect 1,500 of these cuts are likely to be in the IB division (front and back-office)
By YE15e UBS will have only 16% more staff than CS down from 63% at YE08
and 30% at 3Q12e.
UBSs headcount is trending towards that of CS: by 2015e UBS will have just 16% more staff down from 130% at 3Q12
Focusing on the change 2015 vs. 2012 shows a dramatic shrinkage in the IB head count for UBS down 42% to 9,500 and down 7% for CS to 19,100.
UBS will IB staff by 42% by 2015 vs current levels. We expect only 7% cuts for CS
Our divisional cost forecasts imply relatively stable revenues and costs per employee As the tables below illustrate our forecasts imply a modest 6% uptick in revenues per employee in 2015e vs. 2012e, for both UBS and CS to CHF0.57m and 0.55m respectively with costs/employee essentially flat at CHF 0.36m and CHF0.41m respectively. Staff costs/employee are up modestly (5% for UBS, 1% for CS) respectively.
Our assumed costs per employee are relatively stable 2015 vs. 2012 with most of the savings from headcount reduction

IB division revenue and costs per FTE are relatively stable Looking at the IB divisions in more detail, we expect cost per FTE will decline by 2% for UBS to CHF0.47m and decline by 1% for CS to CHF0.51m. IB Revenues per FTE are expected to rise by 6% for UBS to CHF0.57m as less profitable areas are exited and by 1% for CS to CHF0.65m.
In 2012 CS IB staff are 20% more productive than UBSs in revenue terms but also 7% more expensive in total cost terms and 4% more expensive in terms of average compensation

Relatively poor disclosure on staff costs and RWAs from CS for the Corporate and Institutional division compared with UBSs for the Retail and Corporate division
Relatively poor cost and RWA disclosure for CS In analysing the differences in costs and revenues between CS and UBS, its notable that CS doesnt provide staff costs (or RWA detail) for the WM and CIC divisions within private banking. We have estimated the numbers to facilitate the analysis.
The IB divisions of both CS and UBS destroy economic value after fully loading divisions for cost savings, central costs, below the line items, and regulation
In terms of presentation, both UBS and particularly CS flatter their divisional
results by accumulating significant costs at the corporate centre and below the PBT line. Any meaningful sum of the parts (SoTP) valuation methodology has to allocate these centralised costs which are often at least partially ignored.
Both UBS and CS flatter their divisional RoB3Es by shifting expenses and RWAs to the corporate centre and by having expenses below the line such as preference share dividends and earnings for unvested equity.
Shutting UBSs IB entirely would be value accretive by about CHF0.9 per share
As figure 26 illustrates, for UBS the capital adjusted Group return on Basel 3 equity (RoB3E) improves slightly to 22.4% on a fully loaded basis (due to cost savings) from 20.4% unloaded, however the divisional RoB3Es decline. The investment bank RoB3E declines to 5.5% (from 8.9%). On these numbers, shutting the UBS IB division entirely would be value accretive for UBS (about CHF3.3bn of fair value CHF0.9 per share before shutdown costs). However, arguably, profitability in the wealth management and R&C divisions probably depend to some extent on the IB depending on transfer pricing although UBS maintains all inter divisional transactions are arms-length implying UBS could realistically close its IB without impacting the earnings of its other divisions.

On a fully attributed basis and after including future costs for regulatory changes and also future efficiency savings the implied IB RoB3E for UBS and CS are 5.5% and 5.2% respectively.
For CS, the loaded IB RoB3E of 5.2% implies the IB is destroying economic value. On these estimates, shutting Credit Suisses IB division would boost Group fair value by cCHF9.7bn (CHF6.1 per share). Net of shutdown costs we estimate restructuring or closing the IB could generate value in the range CHF 1.9-3.0 /share (8-15% of current share price)
Basel 3 capital calculation YE13 (for valuation purposes): small surplus for both UBS and CS
Libor risk: Our CS and UBS capital calculation used for valuation applies a
CHF1.5bn capital deduction to reflect potential LIBOR fines (for CS, UBS has already incurred CHF1.4bn in fines and disgorgement) and litigation risk (both UBS and CS) although CS is on only 3 Libor setting panels (USD, CHF and EUR) and therefore is arguably less exposed than for example BARC which is on at least 10 of the major LIBOR panels.
Our capital calculation implies a YE13e CHF2.5bn surplus for UBS and
CHF0.5bn for CS relative to our assumed 10% imposed capital ratio target used for valuation.
Although UBS will in reality will operate with a Basel 3 equity tier 1 in excess of
13.0%, our valuation methodology assumes that the excess capital relative to
18 www.liberumcapital.com
10 January 2013
peers will be manifested in a lower cost of equity essentially viewing UBS as operating with excess capital equivalent of c3% of RWAs or approximately CHF6bn.

We make a further adjustment to the fully loaded Basel 3 capital ratio of CHF1.5bn for both UBS and CS to reflect incremental costs related to Libor rigging both fines and litigation risk.
CSs ongoing IB ambitions imply a 12% PE multiple discount to 12.5x (vs. UBS
14.0x) for the Wealth Management and Asset Management divisions given the likelihood/risk that free cash flow is diverted to the IB.
Figure 29 shows the capital and regulation adjusted sum of the parts valuation
for UBS. The Attributable earnings are taken from figure 26 while the YE13e capital position is from Figure 28. The YE13e value per share is calculated and then discounted to the present (10 months). We also add the 2012e announced dividend paid in May 2013 as well as the announced 2013e dividend since its deducted from the YE13e capital position. All central and below the line earnings are allocated by division as well as capital held in the central division.

In contrast to Credit Suisse, UBS has committed to radically downsizing its FICC business with cuts in IB RWAs of 57% and cuts in IB headcount of 42%. A dividend yield of 9.5-11.9% looks feasible 2015-17e. Our Sum of the Parts implies 20% upside, with the WM businesses on a PE of 14.0x vs. WM peers on 15x. BUY.

UBS
Valuing UBS is relatively complex given that i) the group has a diverse group of businesses ii) is currently undergoing a radical restructuring iii) has hidden value due to Unrecognised Potential Deferred Tax Assets (UPDTAs).
We address the business mix via a sum of the parts approach see main section
Figure 29. i) The restructuring is outlined below followed by ii) our estimate of the present value of the UPDTAs iii) some comment on the 4Q12 profit warning related to the libor rigging fines and iv) some brief commentary on the divisional outlooks.
i) Summary of UBS restructuring plans: shrinking balance sheet, capital consumption and headcount
UBS has committed to closing many of its least profit IB businesses thereby boosting economic profit for Shareholders and more than doubling returns on regulatory equity capital
By way of background context, UBS plans to Shrink its group funded balance sheet by 30% to CHF600bn by YE15e. Reduce Basel 3 RWAs by 1/3
: from CHF301bn to below CHF 250bn by YE13e and below CHF 200bn by YE17
rd
in the investment bank division. We estimate investment bank headcount will decline from 16,500 at YE12e to 9,500 by YE15e (-42%).
Reduce operating costs by a further CHF4bn from the 9M12 annualised
run rate, CHF2.5bn net of CHF1.5bn in planned increased investment. Our own forecasts assume net cost cuts of CHF3.0bn by YE15e to CHF19.5bn, a 13% decline, forecasting curtailed investment due to weaker than expected revenues- we are CHF1.1bn below consensus on 2015e revenues and 9% below consensus EPS.
Exit FICC businesses within credit and rates which are unlikely to beat

their cost of capital under the new Basel 3 regulatory framework. As a consequence of this restructuring, UBS guides that the reported Group RoE will be in the 3-7% range in 2013 and 2014e implying annual 1-off restructuring costs of CHF3.5bn (assuming a c 5% reported RoE) relating to redundancy payments, losses on asset disposals etc. We factor this into our valuation (2013e impact included in YE13e capital and 2014/15 impact included in SoTPs separately net of tax). Smaller UBS balance sheet implies lower regulatory risk for UBS: The planned shrinkage of UBS funded balance sheet from CHF900bn to CHF600bn by 2015e will significantly reduce the valuation impact of any increase in RWA/Asset due to revised regulatory guidance on RWA calculation e.g. moving to standardised RWAs. This represents a key advantage vs. Credit Suisse in our view which will operate with CHF300bn of RWAs (vs. UBSs CHF200bn). UBS Cap-adjusted RoB3E rises to 26.0% by 2015e: As a consequence of these changes we estimate that by 2015e, adjusted for regulation and after allocating

capital at 10% of Basel 3 RWAs, UBS will achieve an underlying return on Basel 3 equity capital (RoB3E) of 26.0% up from 11.2% in 2012e; rising further to 30.3% in 2017e due to further capital shrinkage under conservative operational leverage assumptions within the wealth management businesses. Of course on an actual reported basis returns will be more lacklustre due to the groups intention to operate at a 13% Basel 3 equity capital ratio, or higher, rather than the 10% gearing discussed above. In addition looking at profitability in terms of RoTCE further depresses returns due to several items included within equity (see figure 8). So the underlying RoTCE without adjusting for capital will increase only modestly from 8.7% in 2012e to 11.6% in 2017e.
In our base case, by 2017e, UBS will have a Basel 3 equity capital ratio of
15.8%, implying a CHF11.2bn capital surplus vs. our 10% requirement.
Critical to our BUY investment case, is the assumption that equity investors will
take account of UBSs excess capital in the valuation and will assess its capital position relative to international norms (we assume a 10% target) rather than relative to UBSs own 13% target capital run rate.
The primary risk to our Buy case is the risk that UBS loses capital discipline once
it becomes highly cash-flow positive. We anticipate the tendency to expand the business via M&A or via RWAs credit growth will be considerable which could jeopardise our attractive dividend projections.

Due to large historical losses UBS has more potential deferred tax assets than it can recognise under conservative accounting standards. We estimate a PV of CHF7.5bn for the off balance potential deferred tax assets
Under the IAS 12 accounting standards, deferred tax assets (DTAs) can only be recognised against probable future profits. UBS uses a 5 year time horizon for recognition. Without unrecognised DTAs, UBS would have a normalised tax rate in the range 20-25%. Our Sum of the parts assumes a 22% tax rate and then adds the CHF7.5bn present value of the UPDTAs. Over 2010 and 2011, recognising more DTAs enabled UBS to pay an average tax rate of only 6.1% resulting in a per annum boost to attributable earnings of c CHF1bn.

iii) 4Q12 profit warning related to the Libor Rigging fines offset by higher than expected RWA shrinkage
On 19Dec12, UBS announced an agreement to pay CHF1.4bn in fines and
disgorgement (of illegal profits) to US, UK and Swiss authorities. We estimate reported 4Q12 PBT of minus CHF2bn, as a result of this fine (not tax deductible) as well as other litigation provisions of CHF0.7bn, restructuring costs of CHF0.5bn as well as fair value own debt losses CHF0.4bn (due to tightening credit spreads).

We highlight the following features: i) 32% increase in shares outstanding in 2013 on conversion of the CHF3.8bn of mandatory convertibles ii) discuss managements calculation approach for the Group RoE and IB RoE iii) The Fully Loaded IB division RoB3E is only 5.2% implying scope to create value by shrinking division iv) Briefly discuss divisional trends. Taking each of these in turn:
While Credit Suisse pays a relatively attractive dividend yield of 3.1% in 2013e this will be entirely funded via scrip. As a consequence of scrip dividends, the CHF3.8bn mandatory convertible, as well as significant transfer of equity to employees, we estimate that by YE13e CS shares outstanding will increase to 1,598m by shares a 31% increase vs. YE11. BY contrast for UBS the outstanding shares are likely to be essentially unchanged.
CS arguably overstates its RoE by c1% on average. To calculate its RoE CS takes ts so-called Net income attributable to shareholders and divides by average shareholders equity. However the EPS calculation which arguably better reflects true attributable earnings has 2 further deductions for (Claudius) preference share dividends and earnings available for unvested share based-payments. On average these additional deductions dilute attributable earnings by c16%. To see this more clearly as Figure 45 illustrates, using CSs own reported numbers from its reported financial highlights summary (page1), dividing 2Q12 basic EPS by the average stated book value per share and annualizing implies a 2Q12 RoE of 7.0%. However CSs states its RoE calculation is 9.2%, with the difference mainly due to CHF 114m of preferred securities dividends.

iii) Fully Loaded 2013e IB division RoB3E is only 5.2% implying scope to create value by shrinking division

Looking on a historic basis, our estimated IB RoB3E is below those of CS: IB RoE for 9m12: CS reports its IB RoB3E as 11% on a normalised basis for 9M12. After allocating central costs, below the line items (equity minorities, earnings for unvested shares) as well as the impact of Dodd Frank and other regulation the 9M12 annualised RoB3E is much lower at 5.3%.

Some possibility of reaching cost of equity hurdle via cost cutting: The
above 2013e IB RoB3E already assumes CHF0.5bn of IB cost reduction vs the 2012e run rate. Of course additional potential IB cost cutting of CHF1.2bn would boost the RoB3E above 10%. However we are sceptical whether this incremental 12% decrease would be feasible without impacting revenues.
In addition there is potential further downside risk to the IB RoB3E if regulators require banks to adopt a more conservative RWA calculation methodology
Potential incremental downside risk for CSs IB division RoE if Basel 3 RWA methodology changes materially If the Basel capital requirement for securitisations under Basel 3 increases as suggested by the recent (18Dec) Basel consultation paper3, it would adversely impact CSs CHF37bn of Securitisation RWAs.

the low side (given the implied ratio of invested assets to RWAs in WM for CS of 33x vs. 46x for UBS) results in a RoB3E for CIC of only 13.2% in 2012e a relatively low level of profitability compared to the 32% return of UBSs equivalent R&C division.
