In the second quarter, we maintained a strong capital position with a CET1 capital ratio of 14.4% and a CET1 leverage ratio of 4.4%. Both are in excess of our guidance of ~14% and >4.0%, respectively, and provide a solid capital buffer to requirements during the integration, while allowing us to self-fund strategic investments and return capital to shareholders.
Commitment to capital returns
In the second quarter, we continued to accrue for a double-digit increase in the ordinary dividend per share, to be paid out in 2026 and completed
We will communicate on our 2026 capital returns ambitions with our fourth quarter and full-year financial results for 2025.
Investing for long-term growth
We remain focused on strengthening our global capabilities by investing into our businesses and technology to capture long-term growth opportunities.
We are also well underway on our technology integration journey in 2025, reducing complexity and costs through infrastructure and application decommissioning. With 1,154 apps decommissioned to date, or ~40% of total in scope, we have surpassed the 1,000 business applications decommissioned milestone. We have also turned off over half of the servers in scope (60,000) and worked through 28PB of data.
We are unlocking the transformational potential of Gen AI. In the second quarter, we have further rolled out AI-powered tools to employees, including coding tools for our developers to enable faster, more secure and scalable delivery of solutions with a targeted 15% efficiency gain. After finishing the implementation of 55,000 M365 Copilot licenses earlier this year we are planning to roll-out additional licenses to ensure all of our employees across the firm have access to the tool.
Additionally, our in-house AI assistant, Red, which gives users intelligent access to
We are also progressing on the execution of our large-scale, transformational AI initiatives designed to have firm-wide impact and strengthen our foundations, enhancing client service and increasing productivity across the Group. In addition, we are continually assessing and building further opportunities with over 280 AI use cases now live, up ~10% from 1Q25.
To support in the adoption of our AI capabilities and foster a culture of continuous learning across the organization, we are building a strong ecosystem across the firm including over 500 AI Champions and 100 AI Ambassadors.
Later this year around 250 of our senior leaders, including the Group Executive Board, will participate in an AI Senior Leadership Journey at the
Outlook
The third quarter started with strong market performance in risk assets, particularly international equities, combined with a weak US dollar. Investor sentiment remains broadly constructive, tempered by persistent macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties. Against this backdrop, our client conversations and deal pipelines indicate a high level of readiness among investors and corporates to deploy capital, as conviction around the macro outlook strengthens.
For the third quarter, we expect Global Wealth Management’s net interest income (NII) and Personal & Corporate Banking’s NII in Swiss francs to be broadly stable. In US dollar terms, this translates to a sequential low single-digit percentage increase.
We also expect trading and transactional activity to reflect more normalized seasonal patterns and activity levels compared to the same quarter a year ago, particularly in Global Wealth Management’s transaction-based revenues and the Investment Bank’s Global Markets performance. Pull-to-par revenues3 are expected to be around
We remain focused on actively engaging with our clients, helping them to navigate a complex environment while executing on our growth and integration plans. We are confident in our ability to deliver on our 2025 and 2026 financial targets, leveraging the power of our diversified business model.
