Dear Shareholders

Despite a turbulent start to the year, BB Biotech delivered a resilient second quarter: share price and NAV outpaced the Nasdaq Biotech Index (NBI), and several portfolio companies achieved major milestones. This performance came as the macro economic backdrop stabilized but remained complex. The US Federal Reserve, held policy rates at 4.25% to 4.50%, and cooling inflation spurred expectations for a Q3 rate cut. Risk assets rallied – technology rebounded most – while healthcare lagged under gathering policy clouds.

Drug-pricing uncertainty re-intensified in Washington. Debate over a Most-Favored-Nation (MFN) framework – capping Medicare prices at overseas levels – collided with draft guidance for the second round of Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) negotiations, set to expand the list from ten to roughly fifteen drugs. Proposed pharmaceutical tariffs after April's Liberation Day address and a softer US dollar in Q2 (USD vs. CHF -10.2%) compounded investor caution. Meanwhile, leadership churn at the FDA further obscured the near‑term regulatory timetable.

Amid these uncertainties, strategic acquirers continue to bid for innovation. In June, Sanofi agreed to buy our new holding Blueprint Medicines for up to USD 9.5 bn, followed in July by Merck's USD 10 bn offer for Verona Pharma, and back in Q1 by Johnson & Johnson's USD 14.6 bn purchase of our long‑standing holding Intra‑Cellular Therapies. These deals show that innovative science commands premiums even when sentiment is fragile. Thanks to our investment company structure, we can lean into such valuation dislocations and unlock long-term value through time-arbitrage.

The M&A deals in the first half of the year show that innovative science commands premiums even when sentiment is fragile.

Navigating Q2 2025 performance: from draw-down to catch-up

After a bruising first quarter, Q2 split into two distinct acts: April and May extended the Q1 slide as macro economic angst – plus a weakening US dollar – drove our Net Asset Value (NAV) to year-to-date lows in Swiss francs. June then staged an equally sharp snapback, powered by strong clinical read-outs and Sanofi's bid for Blueprint Medicines. Sentiment flipped from restraint to cautious optimism, as bad news stopped accelerating, and fundamentals finally had some room to breathe.

  • An ≈10% slide in the US dollar versus the Swiss franc masked the underlying NAV progress. NAV rose 5.8% in USD – beating the NBI by 5.9 points – but translated into -5.1% in CHF / -2.8% in EUR. Consequently, Q2 reported a net loss of CHF 100 mn, vs. Q2 2024's CHF ‑87 mn. NAV currency impact:
  • BB Biotech outperformed the Nasdaq Biotechnology Index (NBI) in Q2 in every currency. Share price resilience:
  • Improving sentiment tightened our share-price discount to NAV from 14.1% at end-Q1 to 10.5% at end-Q2. Discount narrows:
Performance Q2 2025 Q2 2024
Currency CHF EUR USD CHF EUR USD
BB Biotech share price -1.1% 0.8% 10.2% -12.0% -11.3% -11.7%
BB Biotech NAV -5.1% -2.8% 5.8% -3.5% -2.6% -3.3%
NBI Index -10.3% -8.2% -0.2% 2.5% 3.6% 2.8%
Net loss -100 mn -87 mn

Solid clinical and regulatory wins across our mid-caps – and the Blueprint Medicines takeout – powered June's rebound. In contrast, several NBI heavyweights (Regeneron, Amgen, Gilead, AstraZeneca, Sarepta) remained under pressure, explaining much of the benchmark's drag. With conviction positions intact and ample exposure to US-centric innovation, we believe the portfolio is well positioned for the second half.

Portfolio highlights: innovation driving progress in Q2

Q2 2025 brought a number of important milestones across our portfolio, underscoring our conviction that scientific innovation is the most enduring driver of long-term value creation. Our holdings made meaningful progress on regulatory, commercial, and clinical fronts. Some highlights include:

Regulatory and commercial execution

  • FDA approval for Vyvgart Hytrulo subcutaneous pre-filled syringe; improves convenience, driving adoption in myasthenia gravis and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP). Argenx:
  • European approval of Amvuttra for transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR‑CM), materially enlarging its addressable market beyond the rarer polyneuropathy form (ATTR‑PN). Alnylam Pharmaceuticals:
  • FDA cleared next-generation COVID-19 vaccine (mNEXSPIKE) and expanded respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine (mRESVIA) label, positioning them both for the 2025-26 respiratory-virus season. Separately, Moderna's influenza vaccine showed ~30% relative efficacy versus a licensed comparator; enables launches of stand‑alone influenza vaccine and influenza/COVID-19 combination in 2026. Moderna:

Clinical breakthroughs and translational momentum

  • Donidalorsen reduced the attack rate in hereditary angioedema by 96% over three years, significantly de-risking FDA decision. Olezarsen showed robust triglyceride reduction in Phase II; pivotal Phase III results in severe hypertriglyceridemia expected Q3. Ionis Pharmaceuticals:
  • VX-880 stem-cell-derived islet therapy demonstrated durable insulin independence in 10 of 12 patients, underscoring curative potential for type 1 diabetes. Vertex Pharmaceuticals:
  • Zoldonrasib (KRAS-G12D) showed 61% response rate in early clinical data for NSCLC; daraxonrasib (KRAS-Multi) received breakthrough therapy designation for pancreatic cancer, supported by USD 2 bn financing. Revolution Medicines:
  • Early mutant-CALR antibody data in essential thrombocythaemia showed diseasemodifying potential for broader myeloproliferative neoplasms. Incyte:
  • Apitegromab preserved lean mass alongside GLP-1 therapy in obesity, confirming muscle-sparing potential with strong safety. Scholar Rock:
  • Phase II M-ACCEL met its primary endpoint for reduction of liver fat in metabolically associated steatohepatitis (MASH) and drove fat-selective weight loss via mitochondrial uncoupling while sparing lean mass. Rivus Pharmaceuticals:
  • EDG-7500 improved cardiac biomarkers in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy without competitor safety concerns, though unexpected atrial fibrillation signals require further clarification. The FDA declined Edgewise's request for accelerated approval in Becker muscular dystrophy for EDG-5506, refocusing investor attention on EDG‑7500's cardiac program. Edgewise Therapeutics:
  • RLY-2608 (PI3K-α) showed ~11-month median PFS in second-line HR⁺/HER2⁻ breast cancer, enabling the imminent pivotal Phase III start. Relay Therapeutics:

Together, these achievements highlight share‑price‑relevant progress across our portfolio and illustrate how our mid‑cap focus converts science into shareholder value.

Sharpening the portfolio: active rotation and strategic focus

Disciplined capital allocation and rotation remains a core component of our strategy, ensuring that we focus the portfolio on companies with the strongest science, clearest value creation pathways, and most attractive risk/reward profiles.

During Q2 2025, two notable portfolio actions illustrated this approach and kept our total number of holdings stable at 23:

  • We fully exited our position in Esperion Therapeutics following a reassessment of its outlook. While the company has demonstrated commercial traction in LDL-cholesterol lowering, increasing reimbursement pressures and high capital requirements weakened the overall investment thesis. We redeployed the proceeds from this sale into higher-conviction ideas that better fit our criteria, including stronger balance sheets and more robust long-term upside potential. Exit: Esperion Therapeutics.
  • In early Q2, we initiated a position in Blueprint Medicines based on our conviction in its lead asset Ayvakit (for advanced systemic mastocytosis) and its next-generation wild-type KIT inhibitor BLU-808 (targeting conditions like mast cell activation syndrome). Just weeks later, Sanofi announced a USD 9.5 bn bid for Blueprint Medicines – roughly 33% premium to the pre-announcement share price. We will also receive one non-tradeable contingent value right (CVR) entitling us to milestone payments of up to USD 6 per CVR tied to future development and regulatory approval of BLU-808. The speed and scale of this outcome validated our thesis and underscored how differentiated science and strategic relevance can unlock value. New Investment: Blueprint Medicines.
  • : We increased positions in Immunocore, Akero Therapeutics, Scholar Rock, and Edgewise Therapeutics, where risk-reward profiles and balance sheets are most compelling, and modestly added to other select positions. Deploying cash reserves

Disciplined capital allocation and rotation remains a core component of our strategy, ensuring that we focus the portfolio on companies with the strongest science, clearest value creation pathways, and most attractive risk/reward profiles.

Advancing our strategy: executing with discipline, evolving with insight, deepening shareholder alignment

The second quarter reinforced our belief that sustainable long-term value in biotech comes from a combination of patient conviction, rigorous discipline, and continuous adaptation. BB Biotech's strategic framework remains grounded in four core principles:

  • We maintain a focused portfolio of currently 23 companies that we are looking to build out to the upper end of our 20-35 position range over time, backing the most compelling innovation platforms with meaningful capital. Our investment company structure lets us convert volatility into opportunity: by committing capital on multi-year horizons, we invest with a longer clock than the market – a form of time-arbitrage. Q2's outperformance – driven by mid-cap names such as Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Akero Therapeutics, Alnylam Pharmaceuticals and Blueprint Medicines – highlights the payoff from holding companies that combine breakthrough science with visible clinical or commercial inflection points. High-conviction concentration:
  • Our S-curve investment model emphasizes rebalancing toward companies that are transitioning from R&D into commercialization, where valuation upside is often greatest. This quarter we trimmed exposure to certain large caps with more limited upside and exited names where the risk/reward profile deteriorated (as demonstrated by the Esperion Therapeutics exit). Such discipline protects the integrity of the portfolio while keeping us agile in responding to new developments and opportunities. Dynamic capital allocation:
  • For years now our in-house data-science team has been quietly laying the digital rails for a new generation of adaptive, agentic-AI tools. Early pilots already absorb millions of scientific, clinical, regulatory and market data points, flagging weak signals and stress-testing investment theses in real time. By automating the heavy analytic lift, these systems increasingly free our investment analysts to focus on judgment and portfolio construction. Initial results are encouraging; the next step is a measured, platform-wide scale-up enabling to sharpen decisions today and surface tomorrow's opportunities sooner – ultimately compounding value for shareholders over the long term. Process evolution and agentic AI integration:
  • In addition to these investment principles, we maintain a clear focus on shareholder alignment. Our dividend policy continues to provide shareholders with predictable income. Just as importantly, we engage directly with investors across all Shareholder focus:

channels to explain our portfolio positioning, our process, and our purpose. To further strengthen this commitment, we are pleased to announce that Rachael Burri will be joining as Head Investor Relations as of August 1. Rachael brings extensive experience in investor relations and corporate communications from the financial services industry, having held senior roles at institutions such as Helvetia and SwissRe. Her appointment reflects our commitment to clear, consistent, and professional shareholder engagement, helping ensure that BB Biotech is well-understood and appropriately valued.

BB Biotech's S-curve model

Outlook: innovation as the catalyst, stability as the foundation

As we look ahead to the second half of 2025, we maintain a posture of constructive realism. The macroeconomic backdrop has stabilized yet remains uneven in its support. Policy rates sit near 4.25% to 4.50%; inflation is moderating, and expectations for easing interest rates – potentially before year‑end – are building.

Capital, however, is still costly, and healthcare policy uncertainty weighs on sentiment. The threat of pharmaceutical tariffs, evolving Most‑Favored‑Nation pricing benchmarks, and the long‑term roll‑out of Medicare negotiations under the Inflation Reduction Act all introduce risks. In parallel, leadership changes at the FDA and other health agencies have blurred regulatory timelines and approval consistency, further testing investor confidence in the sector.

Even in this unsettled landscape, scientific innovation is gaining speed. Our portfolio companies are on pace to deliver nearly a dozen commercial launches this year.

Four key launches remain in the pipeline for the second half:

  • Apitegromab (Scholar Rock) spinal muscular atrophy
  • Donidalorsen (Ionis Pharmaceuticals) hereditary angioedema
  • Mitapivat (Agios Pharmaceuticals) α/β-thalassemia
  • Troriluzole (Biohaven) spinocerebellar ataxia

We also anticipate the following pivotal readouts that could be material inflection points:

  • Olezarsen (Ionis Pharmaceuticals) Phase III data in severe hypertriglyceridemia
  • Mitapivat (Agios Pharmaceuticals) Phase III results in sickle cell disease
  • mRNA-1647 (Moderna) Phase III cytomegalovirus (CMV) vaccine efficacy data

Key clinical proof-of-concept catalysts on deck for H2 2025 include:

  • (Wave Life Sciences)– Phase I/II data RNA editing in alpha-1-antitrypsindeficiency (AATD) WVE-006
  • NBI-'770 (Neurocrine Biosciences) Phase II results in major depressive disorder
  • INCB160058 (Incyte) Phase I/II data for JAK2 V617F in myeloproliferative neoplasms
  • RLY-2608 (Relay Therapeutics) Phase I/II PI3Kα triplet data in first-line breast cancer

Collectively, these commercial, pivotal, and early-stage milestones illustrate why we stay focused on well-capitalized mid-cap innovators with clear paths to first- or best-in-class market positions. Our concentrated mid-cap portfolio uniquely positions us to capitalize on both valuation dislocations and accelerating innovation cycles.

We remain optimistic; patience is beginning to pay off, and the ability to invest several years out remains scarce capital. After a period of drawdowns and policy turbulence, the opportunity set is clarifying; innovation is accelerating, valuations are compelling, and capital discipline is starting to matter again. Many small- and mid-cap innovators now trade at – or even below – their net cash, a dislocation last seen after the dotcom bust. At the same time, we are integrating a once-in-a-generation transformation into our process: agentic AI augmenting judgment, sharpening insight, and deepening analytical rigor. Building on our data-science foundation, we will steadily expand our capabilities and computational reach in the months and years ahead, bringing these systems fully online and scaling their impact across the platform. This evolving human-machine partnership is already refining decisions and helping us navigate increasingly complex landscapes.

As this transformation deepens, we believe the convergence of breakthrough science, intelligent infrastructure and disciplined time-arbitrage equip BB Biotech with a renewed edge in pursuing long-term value creation. We move forward with confidence – guided by conviction, powered by patience, enhanced by technology, and rooted in purpose.

Thank you for your continued trust and partnership.

In certain circumstances, the actual values may diverge from these estimates.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the consolidated annual financial statements.

The following amended standard, valid since January 1, 2025, has been applied in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements:

IAS 21 (amended, effective January 1, 2025) – Lack of Exchangeability

The following new and amended standards were approved, but will only be applicable for the Group prospectively and were not early adopted in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements:

Report on the review of condensed consolidated interim financial statements

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of BB Biotech AG as of June 30, 2025 and the related condensed consolidated statements of income, changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month period then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes. The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 «Interim Financial Reporting» and article 14 of the Directive on Financial Reporting of the SIX Swiss Exchange. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with the Swiss Auditing Standard 910 (SAS 910) «Engagements to Review Financial Statements» and the International Standard on Review Engagements (ISRE) 2410 «Review of interim financial information performed by the independent auditor of the entity». A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial information for the six months ended June 30, 2025 are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting and article 14 of the Directive on Financial Reporting of the SIX Swiss Exchange.

Company profile

Excellence in Biotech Investments

The access to fast growing biotechnology companies

BB Biotech invests in companies in the fast growing market of biotechnology and is one of the world's largest investors in this sector with more than 30 years of experience. The shares of BB Biotech are listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. Its investments are focused on listed companies that are developing and commercializing novel drugs that offer sound value for the healthcare system.

The competent Board of Directors with its long-standing experience set the investment strategy and guidelines. Investment decisions are taken by the experienced investment management team of Bellevue Asset Management AG based on their extensive investment research.

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.

Investment strategy

BB Biotech invests in fast-growing biotechnology companies that are developing and marketing innovative drugs. It focuses on biotech companies whose products address areas of significant unmet medical needs and thus have above-average sales and profit-growth potential.

Besides profitable large cap companies, BB Biotech is building up its investments in promising small and mid cap companies.

The team of investment experts is concentrating not only on established target areas such as oncology, orphan diseases and neurological indications, but also on the technologies of tomorrow that could lead to novel treatment methods with attractive therapeutic profiles and substantial economic rewards. These future technologies include RNA platforms and cell and gene therapies. An overall weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of at least 15% is applied to the discounted cash flow models of our portfolio, aligned with our mid-to long term investment objectives.

The asset classes available to BB Biotech are direct investments in the shares of listed companies, equity interests in unlisted companies, corporate bonds, and options on a range of underlying assets. BB Biotech invests almost exclusively in stocks for liquidity and risk/ return reasons. At least 90% of its shareholdings must be in listed companies, while always holding more than 50% of its assets in equity investments. Corporate bonds are an alternative primarily when stock market trends are negative. Options on the stocks of portfolio companies can be bought and sold at opportune times and as a means of hedging currency exposure.

We are focussing on the technologies of tomorrow.

Multi-stage due diligence process based on bottom-up fundamental analysis

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.

BB Biotech relies on the long-standing experience of its distinguished Board of Directors and on the fundamental analysis of the experienced Investment Management Team of Bellevue Asset Management AG when making its investment decisions. It can also turn to an extensive international network of physicians and specialists in individual sub-segments of the biotech industry for further support and advice.

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.

High conviction portfolio consisting of a maximum of 35 positions

BB Biotech's 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 BB Biotech's 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.

New investments in small and mid cap companies will have a weighting of between 0.5% and a maximum of 4% to ensure that both upside potential and R&D risks are adequately addressed. Because it is a holding company, has the flexibility to increase portfolio weightings considerably over time as a position increases in value. 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

Investment process

During the investment selection process, BB Biotech relies on the well established experience of its Board of Directors and the fundamental analyses by the experienced management team of Bellevue Asset Management AG, with access to a network of physicians and specialists for the sectors in question.

Investment process

Using a multi-stage process, the universe of around 1000 companies is systematically analyzed and evaluated. The use of artificial intelligence is being explored to deepen our knowledge and understanding. A detailed financial model is created for each investment, which must convincingly demonstrate the potential to double in value over a four-year period. This potential to double in value is based on innovative strength, new products for serious diseases and outstanding management. 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.

With all of BB Biotech´s investments focusing on biotechnology as a subsector of the healthcare industry, the UN's Sustainable Development Goal number 3: «Good Health and Well-being», is at the core of investment strategy and our portfolio companies. The investments of BB Biotech AG provide companies with capital in order to allow for drug development to ensure and improve healthy lives and well-being. Therapies to address high unmet medical needs such as for patients suffering from rare disorders, cancer, neurological diseases and chronic cardiovascular and metabolic disorders etc. are key investment selection criteria.

Our investment process fully implements Bellevue Asset Management's formal ESG investment guidelines and therewith all BB Biotech investments are systematically reviewed for sustainability risks and breaches of elementary human rights (as defined, for example, by UN Global Compact principles). 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 price development. ESG ratings compiled by the global leading ESG research provider MSCI ESG Research are referenced in this process, all the while exercising the necessary prudence and, in some cases, questioning the ESG score.

Before making a positive investment decision, intensive contact is established with the target company's management, since we are convinced that a superior performance can only be achieved with well managed companies.

After being incorporated into BB Biotech's portfolio, intense personal contact is maintained with members of the management of the relevant holdings. This closely knit monitoring of the portfolio companies enables BB Biotech to utilize all strategic options on a timely basis, including the early disposal of an equity interest should the fundamental situation significantly deteriorate.
