CONSOLIDATED HALF-YEAR RESULTS
Credit Suisse Group announced a net profit of CHF 3.6 bn after taxes and
minority interests for the first half of 2000, thereby exceeding the very good
result of the first six months of 1999 by 35%. The new Credit Suisse Financial
Services business area posted a net profit of CHF 948 m (up 36%); net profit
at Credit Suisse Private Banking rose 61% to CHF 1.4 bn; Credit Suisse First
Boston posted a net profit of CHF 1.2 bn (up 22%); Credit Suisse Asset
Management reported cash earnings of CHF 161 m (up 39%). The Group’s
return on equity advanced from 19% to 21%.
The first-half 2000 results were characterised by strong performance and progress
against strategic goals by all business units. Credit Suisse First Boston further expand-
ed market share in its global business. Credit Suisse Private Banking showed good
growth and continued its leadership in e-commerce applications for private banking.
Another milestone was the formal establishment of the Credit Suisse Financial Services
business area in April 2000. Credit Suisse Group also continued its strong investment
and focus in e-commerce and e-enabled business models.
A supportive equity capital market, particularly in the first quarter, resulted in
strong growth in commissions and trading throughout the Group, particularly at
Credit Suisse First Boston and Credit Suisse Private Banking, while capital market
slowed to a more normal level in the second quarter.
The Group’s assets under management have risen to CHF 1,227 bn since the
end of 1999 – up CHF 45 bn or 3.8%. Net inflow of new funds was CHF 28 bn or
2.4%, to which Credit Suisse Private Banking contributed CHF 12 bn (first-half 1999:
CHF 8.9 bn), Credit Suisse Financial Services CHF 1.8 bn (first-half 1999:
CHF 4.8 bn) and Credit Suisse Asset Management CHF 14.6 bn (first-half 1999:
CHF 19.0 bn).
The Group’s revenue advanced 29% to CHF 17.8 bn against the first half
of 1999. Commission and service fee income rose by 51% to CHF 7.5 bn and trading
income by 49% to CHF 5.4 bn. Interest income fell by CHF 486 m or 17% to CHF
2.3 bn, primarily owing to narrower interest margins at Credit Suisse First Boston.
Income from insurance business grew by 22% to CHF 2.7 bn.
Operating expenses climbed 28% to CHF
11.7 bn, with personnel expenses advancing

achieved rate increases in many markets and good growth partially offset by higher
claims. In life business, an aggressive pricing environment in Switzerland – particularly
15%
13%
in single-premium sales – was partially offset by good growth in annual life premiums
and in other European markets. The annualised return on invested capital increased to
18.7%.
Credit Suisse generated a net profit of CHF 366 m, thereby exceeding the
30%
result for the first half of 1999 by CHF 165 m or 82%. While revenue climbed 16% to
42%
CHF 2.0 bn, driven particularly by high commissions from securities transaction vol-

Insurance
The Personal Financial Services Europe project has been operating success-
fully in Italy since May 1999 and will be launched in other European markets over the
next twelve months. Overall, the project reported a start-up pre-tax loss of CHF 56 m
in the first half of 2000, resulting from capital expenditure establishing the business,
including corresponding marketing activities. Credit Suisse (Italy) significantly expanded
its client base from 12,400 to 16,100 and assets under management reached
CHF 5 bn as at the end of June 2000, an increase of 25% since year-end 1999. The
Credit Suisse (Italy) finance portal was launched in April of this year. Within the next
few weeks, Credit Suisse Group will launch a pan-European e-commerce platform,

Credit Suisse Private Banking increased net profit by 61% compared with the
same period in 1999 to CHF 1.4 bn. Revenue climbed by 42% to CHF 3.2 bn, attrib-
utable primarily to a CHF 618 m increase in commission income to CHF 2.1 bn. Oper-

Credit Suisse First Boston further increased its key market shares and pro-
duced a net profit of CHF 1.2 bn (up 22%) or USD 761 bn (up 9%). Revenue rose by
30% to CHF 9.6 bn (or by 15% to USD 5.9 bn). The 38% increase in operating
expenses to CHF 7.2 bn (or a 23% rise to USD 4.4 bn) reflects investment in organic
growth in Equity business and Investment Banking as well as higher bonus provisions
resulting from increased earnings. The 34% (in USD: 42%) drop in earnings from
Fixed Income business to CHF 2.3 bn (USD 1.4 bn) was more than compensated for
by the 96% (in USD: 74%) increase in earnings from Equity business to CHF 4.8 bn

this is the combined effect of an increase of CHF 14.6 bn (first half of 1999: CHF
19.0 bn), or 4.5%, resulting from net new business, and a reduction of CHF 4.5 bn, or
1.4%, resulting from market movements including foreign exchange. Total assets under
management rose 4.4% to CHF 443 bn.
Outlook
Credit Suisse Group anticipates a good overall result for the year as a whole. It cannot
be assumed, however, that the favourable market conditions of the first six months will
continue in the second half of the year; investment in new business activities and tech-
nologies could also influence the annual result.

COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL SERVICES
For the first half year 2000, Credit Suisse Financial Services posted a total net
profit of CHF 948 m, a 36% increase compared to the same period in 1999.
Total assets under management grew by CHF 8.7 bn or 3%, to CHF 285.5 bn
and the annualised return on invested capital increased to 16.9%.
In April Credit Suisse Group announced the formation of the business area Credit Suisse Financial
Services by combining Credit Suisse, Winterthur and its Personal Financial Services Europe
initiative in order to more closely integrate banking, insurance and e-commerce. The new business
area consequently adapted its structure to reflect these objectives and on 1 July formed five
business units (Winterthur Insurance, Winterthur Life & Pensions, Credit Suisse Banking,
Credit Suisse Personal Finance and Credit Suisse e-Business) plus a Technology & Services unit.
Credit Suisse Financial Services serves close to 17 million clients with around 40,000 employees
and approximately 17,000 tied agents.
Credit Suisse Financial Services turned in a strong performance for the first half year.
All business units contributed to this result: Winterthur, comprising Winterthur Insurance and
Winterthur Life & Pensions in the new structure, produced a strong 24% growth in net profits to
CHF 625 m in a challenging market environment and Credit Suisse (Credit Suisse Banking in the
new structure) increased net profit by 82% to CHF 366 m benefiting from a combination of
strong revenue growth and continued expense control. The Personal Financial Services Europe
initiative, comprising Credit Suisse Personal Finance and part of Credit Suisse e-Business in the
new structure, is continuing its expansion; ongoing investments in technology and marketing led
to a reported loss of CHF 43 m.

INSURANCE FOR PRIVATE AND CORPORATE CUSTOMERS WORLDWIDE
In the first half of 2000, Winterthur, comprising Winterthur Insurance and
Winterthur Life & Pensions in the new structure, produced a robust 24%
growth in net profit to CHF 625 m. This result was achieved with strong
earnings development in both life and non-life businesses, continued moder-
ate realisations of capital gains resulting in a total investment return of a sus-
tainable 6.2%. Net premiums grew 4% overall, comprising a 13% increase in
non-life business, aided by rate increases in a number of challenging non-life
markets and a 2% decrease in life business due to aggressive pricing compe-
tition in Switzerland. Annualised return on invested capital increased to 18.7%.
Winterthur successfully managed the difficult conditions in most markets and even
continued major investments in operational improvements and new technologies. While
evidence of more rational pricing emerged in the UK and Spanish motor markets, poor
conditions elsewhere were met with an ongoing determination to achieve adequate
pricing and further a long-term reduction in costs.
Winterthur’s non-life businesses reported higher loss frequencies in Switzerland
and Germany, and material increases in the average costs of claims in Italy, France
and the US. Winterthur’s Spanish operations registered a major turnaround compared to
last year with a 6-point improvement in the half-year combined ratio. Conversely, the
results from the motor business in Italy worsened as unprecedented government
intervention has frozen the rates for third-party liability, removing insurers’ ability to adjust
rates in response to steep increases in claims costs. Webinsurance, Winterthur’s
proprietary European e-commerce channel, was expanded to Italy and Belgium in 2000,
enabling Winterthur to sell motor, home and accident insurance directly via the Internet
in eight European countries and in the
United States. NON-LIFE BUSINESS

Colonial Life UK, the British subsidiary of the Australian Colonial, Winterthur also reinforced its
position in the UK life market.
Major investment continued in Winterthur’s Euro Life e-commerce platform. The first unit-
linked product family was successfully launched in Germany in July.
Results from non-life business: Gross premiums in non-life business grew at a strong 15%,
benefiting from significant price increases in Spain, the UK, US and smaller European markets.
The combined ratio (sum of the claims and expense ratio) increased slightly from 107.2% to
108.8%, as a further improvement in the expense ratio, from 30.9% to 30.1% did not offset a
2.4 percentage point deterioration in the loss ratio to 78.7%. Net investment income increased by
25% to CHF 1.1 bn. Overall, the result (before tax and minority interests) totalled CHF 441 m,
a 24% increase over the comparable period last year.
Results from life business: Life premiums registered a 2% decline for the half-year. The
expense ratio increased slightly to 10.3% owing to continued investments in the European Life
e-platform and investments in new business. Claims incurred were up 31%, largely the result of
payouts from big single premium contracts. These also reduced the corresponding actuarial provi-
sions so that total outflow was 6% below last year’s sum. Net investment income was up 11%
to CHF 3.1 bn. Overall, Winterthur’s life operations posted a strong 27% gain in net profits to

CORPORATE AND PRIVATE CUSTOMERS IN SWITZERLAND
The first six months of 2000 were very successful for Credit Suisse (Credit
Suisse Banking in the new structure). Net profit rose by 82% year-on-year to
CHF 366 m. Return on equity climbed from 9.2% to 16.4%. Revenue advanced
16%, while operating expenses rose only 6%. The cost/income ratio improved
further from 66.4% to 61.5%.
Gross operating profit grew 34%, with all important income streams, particularly com-
missions from securities transactions, posting significant increases. Mortgage claims
rose by 2% or CHF 1.2 bn in the first half of the year, while in the investment sector
the bank improved its market share in fund sales. Assets under management climbed
to CHF 143 bn, up 1.4% or CHF 2 bn. Fund holdings advanced by over 9% to
CHF 35.2 bn.
Investment savings continued to prove popular among private customers, with a
further increase in average invested assets. Securities investments in the pension provi-
sion segment advanced sharply in the first six months to CHF 2.3 bn. Credit Suisse
launched the Flex Investment Account, an attractive account for specific savings tar-
gets. It has an interest rate which is geared to the money market and reset every three
months. Credit card business also continued to perform well. 340,000 cards from the
Eurocard portfolio were integrated successfully and the bank also succeeded in acquir-
ing about 60,000 new card customers.

the improved economic environment in Switzerland. Foreign exchange trading also

increased by 1% since 31 December 1999. Customer lending expanded by 1%
to CHF 91.9 bn. In the same period, customer assets contracted by 5% to
CHF 61.6 bn. Investment funds became increasingly popular among private customers.
In the corporate customer segment, fiduciary deposits posted a pleasing rise.
The 16% increase in revenue to CHF 1,952 m was generated mainly by non-
interest business. Commission and service fee income, primarily from securities trading,
rose by 31%. Trading income – income from trading in foreign exchange, foreign bank-
notes and precious metals on behalf of customers – jumped 65%. Interest business
posted a 6% improvement. Operating expenses grew at a modest 6%, resulting in a
34% increase in gross operating profit to CHF 778 m. This marked increase in
efficiency lead to a further improvement in the cost/income ratio (excl. amortisation of
goodwill) of 4.9 percentage points to 61.5%.
Valuation adjustments, provisions and losses came to CHF 283 m. This includes
credit risk costs of CHF 261 m for statistically expected losses and CHF 22 m for
other provisions. Actual valuation adjustments in credit business fell by 25% against the
first six months of 1999 and were CHF 66 m below the statistically expected figure.
The risk structure of the credit portfolio improved still further.
Net profit increased by 82% to CHF 366 m and the ROE improved to 16.4%.

PERSONAL FINANCIAL SERVICES EUROPE
Personal Financial Services Europe project (PFS): With the “Personal Financial Ser-
vices Europe” initiative which will be carried forward in the new structure of Credit Suisse
Personal Finance and Credit Suisse e-business, Credit Suisse Group aims to strengthen
its presence in selected European markets and to extend its leading position in
e-commerce in Switzerland to the rest of Europe. It offers a complete range of products
for wealth creation and protection, a targeted combination of personal advice and Internet-
based facilities and a comprehensive service to private clients who have upwards of
CHF 80,000 (EUR 50,000) to invest. In the first half of 2000, the initiative comprised the
pilot market, Italy (Credit Suisse (Italy)), the pan-European e-commerce platform project
and the online broker, youtrade.
Credit Suisse (Italy) continued to chart a successful course. Assets under manage-
ment increased by more than 25% to CHF 5 bn in the first half of 2000, while the num-
ber of clients rose from 12,400 to 16,100. This sound foundation will be strengthened
with the opening of new Investment Centres in major Italian cities and the vigorous exten-
sion of the range of products on offer. Expansion will be driven forward in other selected
markets – Germany, Spain and the UK – by means of organic growth and small-scale
acquisitions.
Progress on establishing the pan-European e-commerce platform also continues.
The Credit Suisse Italy finance portal – offering a broad range of financial and product
information – was launched in April of this year. In the next few weeks, Credit Suisse will
launch a Luxembourg-based online service which will offer investment funds from leading
fund management companies in addition to comprehensive financial information and
online brokerage on the world’s main stock exchanges. The service will be expanded
continuously – the next phase being localised services in specific markets.
With more than 20,000 clients as at 30 June, youtrade once again exceeded
expectations and broke even after just 14 months. Youtrade is Switzerland’s leading online
broker, with a market share of around 35%.
Overall, the Personal Financial Services Europe project (Credit Suisse (Italy),
youtrade and the pan-European e-commerce platform), reported a start-up loss (pre tax)
of CHF 56 m in the first half of 2000 as a result of capital expenditure on establishing the
business.

the prior year period. Assets under management grew by 3.8% to CHF 495 bn
over the end of 1999, with net new business accounting for CHF 12 bn.

ative services to its financial portal at www.cspb.com. Launched in March 2000,

During the first half, the volume of securities transactions surged to extraordinary levels
which was effectively handled by the systems and operations teams. Credit Suisse
Private Banking and Credit Suisse Group will be embarking on a project to reengineer
the securities operating platform to position the securities business for the volumes and
business developments of the future.
In a challenging market environment, particularly in the

second quarter, assets under management increased by CHF 18 bn or 3.8% compared
to year end 1999. Net new business accounted for CHF 12 bn, or 2.5%.
Total assets under management amounted to CHF 495 bn at the end of June 2000.
Total revenue rose by 42% to CHF 3,206 m, reflecting strong growth in income from
commission and service fees (up 41%), trading (up 46%) and net interest income (up
46%).
The 17% increase in operating expenses to CHF 1,261 m is due mainly to higher
personnel expenses, especially higher performance-related remuneration.
The number of staff increased by 173 to 8,544. Investment in new technologies con-
tinue to grow, and accounts for the majority of the 5% rise in other operating expenses
to CHF 387 m. Tax expenditure increased by 69% to CHF 411 m. There was a
marked improvement in the cost/income ratio from 49% for the half-year 1999 to 40%
for the six months ended on 30 June 2000, which was the result of the very rapid
revenue growth in the first quarter of 2000. Net profit grew by 61% to CHF 1,382 m.
Net profit in relation to average assets under management rose from 41 to 57 basis
points.

GLOBAL INVESTMENT BANKING
The first half of 2000, despite mixed markets, produced record six-month
results for Credit Suisse First Boston. Revenues, compared to the first half
of 1999, rose 15% to USD 5.9 bn (CHF 9.6 bn); net profit was a record USD
761 m (CHF 1,240 m) while the ROE was 23% versus the previous year’s 21%.
The consistent investment in building the equity business and investment
banking is continuing to show returns as evidenced by improved market
share, significant growth in revenue and improved margins in equity prod-
ucts.
Credit Suisse First Boston’s performance is measured not only against financial targets
but also in terms of market share across products and regions. Credit Suisse First
Boston continues to rank amongst the top 4 or 5 investment banks in the world as
determined by market share achievements. Significant progress has been made in the
past three years in strengthening its competitive position in: equity new issuance,
merger & acquisition advisory, debt new issuance, equity research rankings in third
party polls and secondary equity sales penetration.
At June 30, 2000, Credit Suisse First Boston had market share rankings in equity
new issuance of #5, #5 in M&A advisory, and #4 ranking in debt new issuance. Credit
Suisse First Boston’s rankings in IPO’s was #4 and particularly in tech IPO’s was #1.

and in non-Japan Asia #6 versus a #15 ranking one year ago.
During the past six months, Credit Suisse First Boston lead managed the demu-
tualization and IPO of MetLife with USD 5.2 bn of proceeds; advised on five of the ten
largest M&A deals globally including France Telecom on its USD 46 bn merger with
Orange; lead managed the largest industrial investment grade debt offering in the US
for International Paper with USD 3 bn of proceeds. Credit Suisse First Boston also
acquired Schroder’s Japanese equity business, which included approximately 100
people facilitating Credit Suisse First Boston’s re-entry into the Japanese cash equities
business. Credit Suisse First Boston had exited the Japanese cash market in 1994.
Revenues reflect a good balance across all areas of Credit
Results first half 2000:
Suisse First Boston’s global business with revenue split 48% to North America, 35% to
Europe and 17% to the rest of the world. The outstanding performance of the equity
division, with revenues over 70% greater than the first half of 1999, has more than
compensated for a decline in fixed income revenues of 42% versus the prior year peri-
od. Fixed income experienced difficult market conditions and substantially lower propri-
etary trading results. The latter as a result of the strategic decision taken by Credit
Suisse First Boston to reduce risk post 1998 events.
Competitive pay practices in the industry combined with the continued investment
in the customer businesses in equities and investment banking have resulted in the first
half compensation costs rising 28% versus the previous comparable period. Headcount
in investment banking is up 17% while equity headcount is up 28% versus June 1999;
total firm headcount is up 10% to 15,863. Non-compensation related expenses rose
8% versus 1999 reflecting growth in the businesses and IT expense. The firm con-
tinues to focus on the optimization of capital. Credit Suisse First Boston in the first half
of the year utilized 12% less regulatory capital in its businesses versus a year ago,
while maintaining a very healthy tier 1 ratio of 11.2%. The improvement in the tier 1
ratio is due to the implementation of historical simulation for measuring market risk.
The individual divisions performed as follows (percentages reflect dollar figures):
Revenues increased 41%, despite, as was the case for
Investment Banking (IBD):
the prior three years, a continued decrease in net interest income and fees from the
lending business. Equity capital markets revenue in 2000 is up 105% from the first half
of 1999. Meanwhile M&A revenue increased 44%. All other product areas within IBD
were relatively flat to slightly down versus their first half 1999 levels.

the discontinued Real Estate Investment group. Importantly, Credit Suisse First
Boston’s global debt capital markets underwriting position remained at #4 and market
share has continued to increase. The drop in revenue, vis-à-vis the prior year, is a
reflection of the difficult fixed income market which is hampered by rising interest rates,
widening credit spreads and declining high yield new issuance activity. The “customer
flow business” in the three major businesses (Rates, Credit Products, Emerging
Markets) remained solid, though slightly below levels of the same period in 1999.
Results from proprietary areas declined materially; this reflected the risk reduction
strategy pursued since the end of 1998 as well as poor results in option books and in
comparison to the very good results of the first half of 1999.
During the first half, the division made twelve investments.
Private Equity (PE):
PE signed contracts of sale on two transactions, which will close in the third quarter.
Funds under management approximate USD 3.7 bn.

During the first half of 2000, Credit Suisse Asset Management generated
revenues of CHF 733 m compared to CHF 462 m for the same period
last year. Discretionary assets under management increased by 3% to
CHF 334 bn and total assets under management, including advisory,
amounted to CHF 443 bn (up 4%) at 30 June 2000. Cash earnings were
CHF 161 m versus CHF 116 m for the first six months of 1999.
Discretionary assets under management totalled CHF 334 bn, an increase of
CHF 10.0 bn or 3.1% since the beginning of the year; the combined effect of
an increase of CHF 14.6 bn, or 4.5%, due to net new business and reduction of
CHF 4.5 bn, or 1.4%, due to market movements including foreign exchange. The
strongest net new business growth was in equity assets, which was also the asset
segment most affected by market movements. Particularly strong net new business
growth was achieved in Switzerland and in Australia. Mutual funds have grown by
10.7% since the start of the year to CHF 134 bn reflecting strong growth primarily
in the Luxembourg, Swiss and Australian domiciled mutual funds.
Results first half 2000: Total revenue growth of 59% was largely the result of higher
assets under management for the first half of 2000 compared to the first half of
1999. This growth in assets reflected both organic growth as well as the impact of the
acquisition of Warburg Pincus Asset Management in July 1999. Normalising for the
effect of this acquisition, revenues increased by 30%.

– At 30 June 2000 trading book risk was down 44% compared to 31 December
1999. Risks were down 68% compared to the 1999 high.
– The decrease in the reported risk arose from true risk reductions and methodology
changes.
– In the second quarter of 2000 CSFB’s new historical simulation value-at-risk model
was approved by the Swiss Federal Banking Commission; this reduced reported risk
by approximately 25%.
– When the prior figures are adjusted for the new methodology, at 30 June 2000 the
trading book “real” risk is down 26% compared to 31 December 1999 and down
58% compared to the 1999 high.
