In the first quarter of 2025, UBS Group reported total revenues of USD 12.6 billion, a slight decrease from the same period last year. The net profit attributable to shareholders was USD 1.7 billion, reflecting a 4% decrease compared to the first quarter of 2024.

Key financial metrics showed mixed results, with a return on equity of 7.9% and a return on tangible equity of 8.5%.

The company plans to continue share repurchases and maintain a strong capital position, while navigating the uncertain macroeconomic environment with a cautious yet strategic approach.
