Business segment result

Under the Corporate Center, the LLB Group reports the structural contribution from interest business, the valuation of interest rate hedging instruments and income from financial investments. Operating income rose by CHF 2.3 million to CHF 30.1 million. The increase was mainly attributable to the higher structural contribution in interest business, as well as the increased income from financial investments. In contrast, income from trading decreased as a result of the lower valuation of interest rate hedging instruments measured on the reporting date. Operating expenses increased to CHF 33.9 million. In the previous year, the Segment had benefitted from one-time effects such as the adjustment of the conversion rate for the LLB pension fund and the release of provisions for a legal case.
