Abstract: LONDON (Standard&Poor's) Feb. 10, 2009--Standard&Poor's Ratings Services said today that its ratings and outlook on Swiss bank UBS AG (A+/Stable/A-1) were unaffected by today's announcement of a Swiss francs (CHF) 26.1 billion pretax operating loss for the 2008 financial year, of which CHF9.7 billion came in the fourth quarter. This very weak performance was in line with the result we expected when we downgraded UBS on Dec. 19, 2008 (see "UBS AG Ratings Lowered To 'A+/A-1'; Off Watch; Outlook Stable; Hybrids Lowered To 'BBB+'", published on RatingsDirect). The ratings continue to reflect our view of both UBS' stand-alone credit profile and the significant support provided to it by the Swiss government and central bank (the SNB).
