UBS Group AG has filed its audited standalone financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025, showing a sharp rise in net profit to USD 13.07 billion from USD 2.99 billion a year earlier, driven primarily by a surge in dividend income from subsidiaries and higher financial income. The balance sheet highlights substantial financial assets of USD 116.3 billion and investments in subsidiaries of USD 73.3 billion, alongside long-term interest-bearing liabilities of USD 120.6 billion, underscoring the holding company’s central role in funding and capital structure.

The report confirms UBS’s position as issuer of key loss-absorbing instruments that support the group’s Basel III capital and TLAC requirements, with distributable items for AT1 purposes rising to USD 70.2 billion as of end-2025. In 2025, UBS also executed the cancellation of more than 120 million shares repurchased under its 2022 buyback program, reducing share capital and certain reserves without affecting total equity, signaling continued balance sheet optimization and potential implications for capital return to shareholders.
