2 Based on market capitalization
In the third quarter of 2024, stock markets remained volatile, with several major equity indices reaching new all-time highs. A key event during this period was the US Federal Reserve's decision in September to lower interest rates by 50 bps, marking its first rate cut in four years. This shift signals a potential further easing of monetary policy heading into 2025, with markets anticipating rates to gradually decrease to around 3.5% by the end of 2025. Historically, lower interest rates have been correlated with increased capital flows into sectors such as biotech, as investors seek growth opportunities. This dynamic positions the biotech industry for potential capital inflows as market conditions improve.
The Nasdaq Biotech Index increased by 5.1% in USD during the third quarter. As in the second quarter of 2024 the healthcare sector generally did not keep up with broader equity indices in the third quarter.
For BB Biotech AG, the share price return in the third quarter of 2024 was –9.2% in CHF and – 6.7% in EUR. Its third-quarter performance was driven by a widening of BB Biotech's Net Asset Value discount, from a high single-digit to a low double-digit percentage discount at the end of the third quarter, and by the negative development of the underlying stocks in the portfolio during the same time frame. The portfolio's total return was –6.6% in CHF, –4.4% in EUR, and –0.6% in USD. The company's net loss for the third quarter of 2024 amounted to CHF 157 mn and a net profit of CHF 16 mn was generated in the first nine months of 2024, in contrast to a net loss of CHF 48 mn during the third quarter in 2023 and a net loss of CHF 316 mn in the first nine months of 2023.
For the first nine months of 2024, the total return for BB Biotech's shares was –11.1% in CHF and –11.0% in EUR. The portfolio performance was +0.3% in CHF, –1.0% in EUR, and –0.2% in USD. All results reported for the first nine months of 2024 include the dividend payment of CHF 2.00 per share in late March 2024.
In the third quarter, portfolio adjustments focused on capitalizing on gains from larger, longterm holdings in line with BB Biotech's S-curve investment strategy. This allowed us to reallocate capital into selectively identified companies with strong growth trajectories, further advancing our continuous portfolio rejuvenation. By rotating investments strategically, we aim to enhance exposure to promising novel assets while staying aligned with our long-term objectives.


At the end of Q3 2024, BB Biotech's portfolio consisted of 31 positions.
As the third quarter concluded, our investment level decreased slightly but remained near the upper limit of our target range at 112.3%. This sustained high level of investment reflects the management team's continued confidence, with an increasing proportion of holdings featuring de-risked business models and attractive valuations.
Biotechnology markets remained volatile, with notable fluctuations across our investments. Several portfolio companies, including Edgewise Therapeutics, Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Rivus Pharmaceuticals, Relay Therapeutics, Wave Life Sciences, and Vertex Pharmaceuticals, delivered positive news, while Exelixis and Neurocrine Biosciences experienced at least market-perceived setbacks. Below, we summarize key milestones from Q3:
In the third quarter, several biotech companies raised capital following positive pipeline developments, including Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Relay Therapeutics, and Wave Life Sciences. We typically directly support our portfolio companies in such transactions with capital injections, participating in Relay Therapeutics's offerings due to key data that aligned with our investment thesis. Ionis Pharmaceuticals's capital increase was perceived as unexpected, as the company was already well capitalized. While Wave Life Sciences's DMD program showed promise, our focus remains on its AIMers RNA editing platform and A1ATD program, with ongoing updates expected. M&A activity has significantly slowed in 2024 compared to 2023 but may rebound after the U.S. presidential election in November.
In September, the US Federal Reserve implemented its first interest rate cut in four years, signaling a shift that could benefit growth sectors like biotech by easing funding conditions. This change, coupled with potential policy shifts, will be important to monitor throughout the remainder of 2024.
The US presidential election and possible shifts in the control of Congress may influence healthcare policy and drug pricing. While healthcare has not been central to campaign discussions, medical costs – particularly drug pricing – remain a key concern for voters. Despite being politically supported by the Biden Administration, the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) negotiations have had limited impact on cost savings thus far. Key challenges remain, including eligibility timelines for small molecules and biologics, and the orphan drug exemptions. Addressing these issues will likely require bipartisan cooperation. Additionally, as of 2025, Medicare Part D's USD 2 000 out-of-pocket cap could improve drug adherence and compliance, benefiting the broader healthcare system.
Many of our portfolio companies have strengthened their financial positions, and we are confident that they are positioned for positive clinical news, upcoming approvals, and launches in the months ahead. This view is reinforced by improving capital markets and a gradually reawakening IPO market, signaling renewed investor interest. Within the small and mid-cap space, we have seen multiple positive clinical milestones across the industry and within our portfolio, leading to notable share price inflections, enabling companies to secure funding and move onto new growth trajectories.
BB Biotech remains optimistic about the sector's prospects. Major patent cliffs are looming for big pharma through the end of the decade and beyond; this will likely drive further M&A activity as organic pipelines struggle to replace lost revenues, generating ongoing consolidation. With our strengthened fundamentals, upcoming clinical milestones, and supportive market dynamics, we are well-positioned to capitalize on opportunities and navigate challenges through the remainder of 2024.
We thank you for your continued trust. As we work through a challenging market environment, we remain committed to executing our strategy and delivering long-term value for our shareholders.

Biotechnology is one of the most attractive of any sector today with estimated long-term annual growth in the double-digits. Mega trends such as increasing life expectancy and a Westernized diet and lifestyle are powerful growth drivers. These mega trends have led to a tremendous increase in healthcare costs, which, in turn, only amplifies the need for more efficient and effective drugs.

Exhaustive, multi-stage due diligence precedes the selection of individual investments. We must have a thorough understanding of every company we invest in. Before an investment is made, the team analyzes a company's financial statements in detail and assesses its competitive environment, R&D pipeline, and patent portfolio as well as its customers' perceptions of its products and services.
Close contact with company executives is of high importance to us in this due diligence process, but also afterwards, as we believe that it takes strong leaders to achieve strong results.

The Investment Management Team creates detailed financial models for all portfolio holdings and they must provide compelling arguments that these holdings have the potential to double in value over a four-year time frame. The team is guided by its convictions, not by benchmark considerations. Upside potential is driven in most cases by the power of innovation, the launch of new products for serious or significant illnesses, and successful company management. Each investment case is constantly monitored and evaluated within the scope of our stringent and disciplined risk management process and corrective action will be taken if and when necessary.
We follow our own conviction, not a benchmark.
investment portfolio will usually consist of between 20 to 35 biotechnology companies. There are estblished large cap companies as well as small and mid cap companies in the portfolio. Smaller positions will be taken in innovative biotech companies with promising R&D pipelines. From a regional perspective, the US biotech sector has displayed a high level of innovation and so this regional bias is also reflected in portfolio. The predominance of the US biotech industry can be traced to the country's stellar research clusters, industry-friendly regulatory frameworks and myriad financing options, among other factors.

Smaller positions may become a top holding as their business develops and milestones such as positive Phase III outcomes, drug approvals, the successful marketing of products, and a sustainable flow of profits are achieved. All positions and their valuations are continually monitored, taking into account their growth potential and other aspects, and will be reduced if and when appropriate. BB Biotech

Each investment is systematically reviewed for sustainability risks and breaches of elementary human rights. Bellevue Asset Management AG is a signatory of UN Principles for Responsible Investment. Besides upholding strict exclusion criteria – such as serious controversies that violate universal norms regarding the environment, human rights or good corporate governance – environmental, social and governance factors are integrated into the fundamental analysis of every company through an ESG integration process in which the associated financial risks or opportunities are evaluated with respect to future stock market performance. The Investment Management Team strive to have an active and constructive dialogue with the management or other relevant stakeholders of the portfolio companies regarding environmental, social and governance aspects – and via proxy voting we use our voting rights actively at the general meetings. 1 000
