What is the UBPR?

Published September 20, 2026.

UBPR: The Uniform Bank Performance Report is the FFIEC’s own set of derived ratios for a bank, computed from its call report and printed beside its peer group.

Where it comes from

The FFIEC publishes a UBPR for every filer a few weeks after the call report itself. It is the examiner grade calculation: return on assets, return on equity, net interest margin, the efficiency ratio and several hundred more, each shown with the peer group median and the bank’s percentile.

How to read it

The UBPR is the authority on how a ratio is defined, which is why BankingLens reconciles its headline ratios against it and shows the reconciliation status on every scorecard. Where a quarter’s UBPR has not been published yet, the figures are computed from the raw call report and labelled that way rather than quietly presented as matching.

The common mistake. Assuming a ratio you computed yourself will agree with it. The UBPR averages balances rather than using the period end and annualizes year to date income, so a period end calculation disagrees with it in every quarter except the fourth.

Knowing the definition is the easy half.

The hard half is whether a given bank’s number is good for the peer group it is actually measured in. That is what the scorecard does, for every bank that files a call report, updated with every FFIEC release.
