AEVIS VICTORIA (AEVIS) continued to implement its philosophy of "Investing for a better life". In the healthcare sector, the revolutionary model of integrated care in Switzerland was strengthened, while in the hospitality sector unique guest experiences were created. The Group′s real estate was developed according to sustainable criteria.
Focusing investments on three core segments has also paid off financially, with AEVIS′s main holdings consolidating their market positions and achieving good operating results. At the same time, AEVIS′s business model, which combines operational excellence with capital gains on M&A transactions, proved its worth. During the year, a 3.7% stake in Swiss Medical Network Holding SA was successfully sold at a gain of CHF 45 million on consolidated level, as part of the acquisition of Spital Zofingen AG from Kantonsspital Aarau AG, alongside the disposal of the 40% minority stake in TCS Swiss Ambulance Rescue SA.
It has been clear to Swiss Medical Network for several years that a paradigm shift is needed in the Swiss healthcare system, to break out of the ever-increasing cost spiral. The strategic solution is to move towards a true healthcare system and away from the current sick care system, towards integrated care with a focus on prevention and away from unnecessary interventions. In the year under review, Swiss Medical Network strengthened this important strategic direction and made significant progress in its ambitious project.
With the Réseau de l′Arc – a 35% subsidiary of Swiss Medical Network SA – and the VIVA health plan, the first truly integrated care region in the Jura Arc began operations at the beginning of the reporting period. It was well received by the population, and membership doubled within a year. For the 2025 insurance year, VIVA was the only model not to increase its premiums. This first milestone was followed on 1 January 2025 by the addition of a second care region in Ticino, Rete Sant′Anna. The acquisition of CentroMedico, operating 10 medical centers in Ticino, is an important piece of the puzzle for the integrated network in the southern canton.
In general, Swiss Medical Network continued to invest in outpatient centers to strengthen the development of integrated care regions. These investments had a temporary impact on the consolidated result, reducing it by approximately CHF 13 million.
The acquisition of Spital Zofingen and the simultaneous strategic investment of 3.7% in Swiss Medical Network Holding SA by Kantonsspital Aarau AG (the former owner of Spital Zofingen AG) in December 2024 not only created a second true public-private partnership, but also laid the foundations for a third healthcare network in central Switzerland (the Mittelland region). This transaction confirmed the net value of Swiss Medical Network Holding, in line with the valuation of CHF 1.4 billion applied at the time of the capital increase with Visana Beteiligungen in July 2023. In addition, the integration of Spital Zofingen is expected to increase the Group′s consolidated revenues by approximately CHF 100 million in 2025, underlining the significant financial impact of this acquisition.
Swiss Medical Network will invest in the publicprivate partnership, accepting a short-term impact on overall profitability. This strategic buy-and-build approach has proven successful in numerous integrations into Swiss Medical Network over the past 15 years, as evidenced by the 16.6% EBITDAR achieved in the year under review. This profitability level is significantly higher than that of its competitors, allowing Swiss Medical Network to make essential investments for the future development of its operations.
Overall, Swiss Medical Network Holding SA generated revenues of CHF 812.1 million in the year under review, 5.6% more than in the previous year. Organic growth was 4.5%, supported by the expansion of medical services and the integration of new medical centers. Net revenues (excluding medical fees) amounted to CHF 684.9 million.
The Genolier Innovation Hub, representing a total investment of more than CHF 100 million by Swiss Medical Network, Infracore and third parties, was inaugurated in September 2024. The Hub will play an important role in the industry as an interface between research, development and clinical application.
MRH Switzerland SA, the Group′s hotel subsidiary, exceeded last year′s record performance. Strong domestic and international demand resulted in an occupancy rate of 54.1% and an increase in average room rates from CHF 559 to CHF 580. With 352′032 overnight stays, the Group′s hotels were more in demand than ever, resulting in a 10.5% increase in revenues to CHF 188.4 million. Organic growth accelerated from 6.4% in the previous year to 10.1%. Performance was particularly strong in MRH Switzerland′s main destinations – Davos, Interlaken, Zermatt and Zurich – and led to new annual revenue records for the hotels in these destinations.
The consolidated real estate portfolio of Swiss Hotel Properties, the hotel real estate subsidiary, remained unchanged in the reporting year and was valued at CHF 881.2 million at the end of 2024. This represents an increase of almost 3% compared to the previous year, mainly due to fair value adjustments. The net asset value (NAV) at the end of the period was CHF 385.5 million. As expected, rental income increased by 27.4% from CHF 24.2 million to CHF 30.9 millions (of which CHF 25.0 million intercompany), due to the integration of several buildings in Zermatt at the end of 2023.
Revenues of Infracore, AEVIS′s 30% minority interest (directly and indirectly) in healthcare infrastructure, remained stable at CHF 60.5 million. The value of the portfolio, which comprises a total of 47 high-quality properties, increased slightly from CHF 1.30 billion in the previous year to CHF 1.33 billion in the reporting period. The portfolio is conservatively valued with an average value of CHF 6′356/m2 and has no investment backlog. The NAV at the end of the period was CHF 600.0 million. The CHF 100 million bond held by Baloise was repaid in full.
AEVIS′s consolidated revenues increased by 10.9% from CHF 953.0 million to CHF 1′057.2 million due to intensified activities as well as gains from the sale of subsidiaries. Organic growth was 5.4%, driven by expansion in the hospitality and healthcare sectors. The growth in total revenues, including one-off effects, made a significant contribution to the operating profit, as EBITDA reached CHF 89.2 million, up 120.8% on the previous year, representing a margin of 9.6%. After depreciation of fixed assets, which was much higher than in the previous year due to the high level of investment in recent years, as well as amortization, financial expenses and tax expenses, a loss of CHF 8.3 million was recorded, significantly lower than in the previous year (CHF –41.9 million). Cash flow from operating activities increased slightly to CHF 46.5 million (2023: CHF 42.7 million).
At the statutory level (holding company, nonconsolidated) revenue amounted to CHF 57.9 million. The balance sheet remained very strong with an equity of 573.4 million, representing an equity ratio of 70.1% compared to CHF 549.3 million and 68.3% a year ago. The Board of Directors will not propose an ordinary distribution to the Annual General Meeting. The total market capitalization as of 31 December 2024 was CHF 1.26 billion compared to CHF 1.42 billion a year ago.
AEVIS is operationally managed by Fabrice Zumbrunnen, who took over as CEO of the Group on 1 May 2024, Michel Keusch, CFO, and Séverine Vanderschueren, CAO, since 1 June 2024. As previously announced, Chairman Christian Wenger will not stand for re-election at the next Annual General Meeting on 21 May 2025. The Board of Directors will propose Antoine Hubert, currently Delegate of the Board of Directors, as new executive Chairman.
AEVIS will continue its development strategy by consolidating its hospital activities, optimizing its hotel portfolio and strengthening the management of its real estate assets. At the same time, the Group remains committed to sustainable and profitable growth.
The start into the new financial year was promising, with an estimated organic growth of 4% at Swiss Medical Network and a strong winter season in the hospitality sector. Due to the diversity of its investments and the current macroeconomic challenges, AEVIS is refraining from issuing consolidated revenue or margin targets for the financial year 2025.
We would especially like to thank all our employees and physicians for their flexibility and high level of commitment under volatile and changing conditions in the past year. We would also like to thank our customers and partners for their good cooperation, and our shareholders for their trust.
Christian Wenger Antoine Hubert
Chairman of the Board Delegate of the Board
After 13 years, Christian Wenger will not be standing for re-election as Chairman of the Board of Directors of AEVIS VICTORIA at the next Annual General Meeting. Together with his successor Antoine Hubert, he looks back on the past eventful and successful years.

Christian Wenger (CW) and Antoine Hubert (AH) in conversation.
Christian Wenger (CW): The company has developed dynamically over the past few years. I believe that now is the right time to hand over the reins to a successor. With the appointment of Fabrice Zumbrunnen as CEO, Antoine Hubert, the founder of our company, now has the opportunity to take a step back from the operational side and lead the company forward as a committed executive Chairman of the Board.
"Now is the right time to hand over the reins to a successor."
CW: I will be retiring completely. I don′t like a gradual withdrawal. I like to do things right or not at all.
Antoine Hubert (AH): I will continue to play an active role as an executive Chairman, but this will be limited to strategic projects such as the Genolier Innovation Hub or strategic investment activities. I will no longer be involved in the day-to-day business. But of course, I will continue to contribute my ideas for the development of the company. Once an entrepreneur, always an entrepreneur – there′s no stopping it.
CW: No. In a company built and run by two thoroughbred entrepreneurs, the rules are different from those in large companies run by managers. It is therefore the right decision – also in the interests of continuity and stability – that one of the founders of our company should now be elected as Chairman of the Board, after Fabrice Zumbrunnen took over operational control of AEVIS as CEO in 2024.
AH: With the appointment of Fabrice Zumbrunnen as CEO of AEVIS VICTORIA and myself as executive Chairman, the role of delegate as a link between the Board of Directors and senior management is no longer necessary.
AH: The Board of Directors of AEVIS VICTORIA is an experienced, effective team. There are therefore no plans to immediately elect a replacement to the Board, which will consist of five members after the Annual General Meeting. Of course, we remain open to considering additional members who align with and can significantly contribute to the company′s strategic goals and vision.
AH: We have made sure that the Board has all the relevant expertise for our business. This is the case and there is no gender bias. On the contrary, my colleagues and I enjoy working with women. For example, the proportion of women in the management of our operating units is above average, and quite a few of our hospitals are run by women.
"We have made sure that the Board has all the relevant expertise for our business."
CW: At the time, I was Delegate of the Board of the main shareholder of Privatklinik Lindberg in Winterthur. AEVIS acquired a minority stake in 2011, followed by full integration in 2012. This is how we got to know and appreciate each other, and how AEVIS then proposed me for election to the Board of Directors.
CW: AEVIS has developed very dynamically. On the one hand, the hospital business has been expanded and strengthened, and on the other hand, the acquisition of the Victoria-Jungfrau Collection in 2014 marked the beginning of our entry into the luxury hotel business, which we operate successfully today.
At the end of 2012, the company had a turnover of CHF 344 million and a market capitalization of CHF 357 million. Today, the Group has a turnover of over CHF 1 billion and a market capitalization of more than CHF 1.2 billion. An investment in AEVIS has paid off!
AH: Yes, and the results speak for themselves! The buy-and-build strategy has been consistently implemented and the company has developed innovative approaches that also serve the common good. Examples include the integrated care initiative with the VIVA health plan implemented in three regions later this year, the Genolier Innovation Hub as a link between cuttingedge medical research and clinical application, and the hospitality philosophy of La Réserve, which takes the luxury hotel sector to a new level.
CW: Lively and always characterized by mutual trust. The culture of our company is strongly entrepreneurial, defined by fast decision-making and flexibility. We are driven by innovation, a thirst for knowledge and a desire to make a positive difference.
"The culture of our company is strongly entrepreneurial, defined by fast decision-making and flexibility."
AH: Of course it will. On the one hand, the Board of Directors has been working stably and efficiently for years, and on the other hand, all decision-makers have always been of the opinion that AEVIS can be a pioneer in its focus areas. The most recent example is the integrated care offering which will be available in a third region as of 1 January 2026, a visionary project that not many people believed in 10 years ago. But we did!
"We were able to successfully implement the buy-andbuild strategy."
CW: We were able to successfully complete a number of transactions and thus successfully implement the buy-and-build strategy. As a result, the Group now has three strong and resilient pillars: healthcare, hospitality and high-quality real estate.
AH: Gladly! We have worked well together, we complemented each other over the years and Christian steered the company well through challenging times like the COVID years and political turmoil in Europe. We are indebted to Christian Wenger for his tireless efforts on behalf of the company. And it′s nice that, although he′s leaving the Board, he will remain loyal to us as he is also representing a company that is an important shareholder of AEVIS VICTORIA. And almost more importantly, our personal friendship will continue beyond the business day.
CW: The best side effect of my work has been the friendships that have developed. These will, of course, remain an important part of my social life after I leave.
"The best side effect of my work has been the friendships that have developed."
CW: I will remain active, whether as a lawyer or as a promoter of start-ups or projects in the university sector. And I am grateful to have more time for my grandchildren and for extended travels.
The AEVIS portfolio is diversified across three focus sectors – Healthcare, Hospitality and Infrastructure – with different earnings trends and risk/return profiles, but all with a common mission to serve people. The business model combines the operating businesses of the individual investments with dividends from minority interests and capital gains on the sale of investments or parts thereof.
During the year under review, all three core businesses achieved encouraging operating results and completed major flagship projects such as the launch of Viva Health, the first integrated care organization, and the construction of the Genolier Innovation Hub. At the same time, AEVIS sold its minority stake in TCS Swiss Ambulance Rescue SA at a profit, resulting in a capital gain in the consolidated financial statements.

Market value unconsolidated Infracore portfolio in CHF million


Swiss Medical Network′s business returned to normal after the challenges of the previous year and delivered good results. The market environment was characterized by stable prices in the basic insurance market and price pressure in the supplementary insurance sector. It can be assumed that this development will continue, but at the same time, healthcare providers with efficient structures, such as Swiss Medical Network, should be able to develop or expand their competitive advantage.
Overall, Swiss Medical Network generated consolidated revenues of CHF 812.1 million, compared to CHF 768.7 million in the previous year, an increase of 5.6%. Organic growth of 4.5% was supported by the expansion of medical services, improvements in operational processes and the targeted integration of new health centers. Net revenues (excluding medical fees) increased by 5.6% to CHF 684.9 million.
4.5%
Cost optimization initiatives, in particular operational efficiencies, contributed CHF 6 million to margin improvement, while energy costs remained elevated due to contracts entered into in prior periods. These measures, combined with organic growth, resulted in a robust EBITDAR margin of 16.6%. Overall, EBITDAR increased from CHF 106.8 million to CHF 113.9 million. Swiss Medical Network continued to make targeted investments in digitization and IT projects to ensure that it is efficiently positioned and well equipped for the future.
Swiss Medical Network′s segment reporting has been further refined. For the first time, separate figures are reported for the inpatient (Hospitals Group) and outpatient (Ambulatory Group) segments, reflecting the different nature of the business.
In the Hospitals Group, the activity level of Privatklinik Villa im Park, Privatklinik Obach, and Privatklinik Siloah was particularly noteworthy. At Clinique de Genolier, activity returned to normal following the completion of the Genolier Innovation Hub, with increased demand for radiotherapy and nuclear medicine in particular. Klinik Pyramide am See in Zurich relocated to the Privatklinik Bethanien campus in Zurich and, as part of this move, merged its operations with Privatklinik Bethanien as of 1 November 2024. This will save more than CHF 2 million per year in rental costs and create administrative and operational synergies, which will have a strong impact on margins. A third operating theater was opened at Rosenklinik in Rapperswil, and the sports medicine department was expanded at Clinique Montchoisi in Lausanne. At Clinique Générale Beaulieu in Geneva, the newly established nuclear medicine department proved a success, and at Hôpital de La Providence in Neuchâtel, the public hospital took over the emergency services. In the year under review, the Group generated revenues of CHF 737.4 million and EBITDAR of CHF 118.0 million, representing a solid operating margin of 19.0%.
737.4
In the ambulatory sector, market consolidation is underway, and the inclusion of additional general practitioners remains a challenge. While the trend toward outpatient care will continue, it is clear that current reimbursement structures are not sufficient to support this change in an economically viable manner. Margins are significantly lower than in the inpatient sector and many providers are unable to generate sufficient free cash flow to finance the necessary investments. Swiss Medical Network performed well under these difficult conditions, generating revenues of CHF 65.6 million and an operating loss of CHF 3.0 million from outpatient services, compared to a slightly positive result in the previous year.
Réseau de l′Arc, the first truly integrated care organization in Switzerland – a 35% subsidiary of Swiss Medical Network – launched its own health insurance product, VIVA, at the beginning of 2024 and is off to a promising start. The organization includes Hôpital de Moutier and Hôpital de Saint-Imier, several Medicenters and an extensive psychiatric network. By closely linking all the players in the healthcare system, it has been possible to ensure high-quality and cost-effective healthcare.
The experience with this prevention-oriented healthcare model has been remarkable and is proof of the successful collaboration between the Canton of Berne, Visana and Swiss Medical Network, the three shareholders of Réseau de l′Arc. The success story continues in 2025: VIVA is the only basic insurance product on the market that did not have to announce a premium increase for the new year.
Following the successful launch of Réseau de l′Arc, the concept was also introduced in the Canton of Ticino with Rete Sant′Anna at the beginning of 2025. This was also enabled by the acquisition of CentroMedico, which will be consolidated as of January 2025. This transaction added 10 medical centers throughout the Canton of Ticino, forming an important pillar of the integrated care network.
The new financial year 2025 got off to an encouraging start, with a further increase in revenues. Cost savings from ongoing efficiency programs and lower expected energy costs should have a positive impact on margins. On the other hand, Swiss Medical Network expects that the investments associated with the integration of Spital Zofingen and the creation of a third integrated care region will have a negative short-term impact on the operating result.

Following the record results of 2023, MRH Switzerland AG, the Group′s hotel subsidiary, continued its excellent performance in the year under review with a further improvement of its results. Revenues increased by 10.5% from CHF 170.5 million to a new record of CHF 188.4 million. Almost the entire growth, 10.1%, is organic.
The winter season in Zermatt was exceptional, thanks to good snow conditions and good weather. The hotels in Davos and Interlaken achieved double-digit growth, well above the industry average. The Alpengold Hotel Davos benefited from an excellent performance during and outside the World Economic Forum. The Hotel Bellevue Palace in Berne still faces greater challenges due to the lower number of conferences and events compared to the period before the 2020 health crisis.
This good start to 2024 continued throughout the rest of the year, despite weather-related challenges in May and June. MRH Switzerland′s key destinations such as Zermatt, Interlaken, Davos and Zurich achieved new record results for the full year. While the proportion of local guests declined slightly, this effect was more than offset by international guests.
On an annualized basis, the company increased average occupancy rate from 50.7% to 54.1% while recording a total of 352′032 overnight stays. At the same time, very strong demand allowed the company to increase average room rates from CHF 559 to CHF 580. Overall, this led not only to high revenues, but also to a noteworthy increase in operating income at EBITDAR level of 25.8%, thanks to efficient processes. In absolute terms, this resulted in an operating profit of CHF 43.5 million, corresponding to an EBITDAR margin of 23.1%.
With Nico Braunwalder at the Victoria-Jungfrau & Spa in Interlaken, and soon with the appointment of an internationally experienced specialist at La Réserve Eden au Lac in Zurich, new managing directors will be responsible for the hotels′ fortunes. Both managers are proven experts and very familiar with the values and objectives of MRH Switzerland.
23.1%
The start of the current financial year is encouraging and MRH Switzerland expects the hotels to remain well booked and to deliver good results in 2025.

The fully consolidated real estate portfolio of Swiss Hotel Properties, a hotel infrastructure company, remained unchanged over the last 12 months and consists of 27 buildings in seven top locations, including one in London, with a total rental surface of 131′020 m2 as at 31 December 2024. As expected, the portfolio generated significantly more rental income (mainly intercompany rents paid by the Group′s hotels) in 2024 thanks to the acquisitions in Zermatt at the end of 2023. As a result, revenues increased by 27.4% to CHF 30.9 million compared to CHF 24.2 million in the previous year. The EBITDAR margin remained high at 88.9% or CHF 27.4 million in absolute terms. The company continues to be conservatively financed, and the LTV remains below 50%.
Almost all properties are fully let, with long-term leases mainly with the various hotels of the hospitality business of AEVIS VICTORIA under the management of MRH Switzerland. At the end of the period under review, the market value amounted to CHF 881.2 million compared to CHF 857.5 million a year ago. This increase was mainly due to positive fair value adjustments. At the end of the period, the NAV (net asset value) amounted to CHF 385.5 million.
881.2
During the year under review, the management of Swiss Hotel Properties, in collaboration with the operator of the Group′s hotels, MRH Switzerland, placed a strong emphasis on energy efficiency initiatives. Energy resources represent the largest environmental impact in the hotel business, in addition to being a significant cost for the properties. The aim is to assess and then reduce the carbon footprint by carefully monitoring energy and water consumption and implementing alternative solutions.
385.5
In the future, the Hotel Mont Cervin in Zermatt, one of Zermatt′s hospitality icons, will undergo a comprehensive renovation process led by a renowned Paris-based design studio. The first steps are scheduled for 2025, with the hotel closing for the 2026 summer season and reopening in December 2026 under the La Réserve brand.
Rental income of approximately CHF 34 million is expected for the current financial year. In addition, 20 apartments in a centrally located building in Zermatt will be sold as condominiums. This will free up a substantial amount of cash and lead to an extraordinary gain.
Infracore′s healthcare real estate portfolio, in which AEVIS directly and indirectly holds a 30% stake, achieved encouraging results in 2024. The most important milestone in the period under review was the opening of the Genolier Innovation Hub on the Genolier campus. Revenues excluding revaluations amounted to CHF 60.5 million, slightly above the high level of the previous year and benefiting from additional rental income at Genolier. EBITDA was CHF 59.5 million or 90.4% of revenue including result from revaluation. A key highlight was the full repayment of a CHF 100 million bond, significantly reducing the Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio from 48.0% to 43.3%.
60.5
The project to relocate the Klinik Pyramide am See to the Bethanien campus on the Zürichberg, which had been planned for some time, was successfully completed in 2024. In addition to the consolidation of the two locations, the two buildings on the Bethanien campus will be expanded to create additional space. At Clinica Ars Medica in Gravesano, new operating theaters will be ready for occupancy in spring 2025, and a staff center has been completed at Clinique Valmont. Infracore invested a total of CHF 22.6 million in the period under review.
The space provided by Infracore, the majority of which is rented to Swiss Medical Network facilities, was nearly fully leased during the year. In total, the portfolio consisted of 47 properties with a rentable area of over 206′000 m2 and a market value of CHF 1.33 billion at the end of the reporting period (2023: CHF 1.30 billion). The Infracore portfolio is conservatively valued with an average value of CHF 6′356 per m2 . The NAV (net asset value) before deferred taxes amounted to CHF 718.4 million.
1.33
Sustainability is a high priority for Infracore, as evidenced by the various measures taken to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. A pilot carbon footprint project carried out on the Genolier campus in 2024 confirms that more than 80% of a hospital′s environmental impact comes from heating and cooling, catering, electricity, pharmaceutical products and mobility. At the same time, the hospitals′ decarbonization program has continued, with major works carried out at the Genolier campus in Genolier, Clinique Valmont in Glion-sur-Montreux, Clinica Sant′Anna in Lugano and Clinica Ars Medica in Gravesano. The aim is to decarbonize 17 hospitals over time (replacing fossil fuels with heat pumps, geothermal heating or district heating) and to install photovoltaic panels on the roofs of all hospitals.
Infracore expects a strong increase in rental income in 2025, supported by the delivery of ongoing projects. In addition, the company plans to integrate new properties valued at nearly CHF 100 million. (This expansion is backed by a capital increase fully subscribed by existing shareholders, reaffirming their long-term commitment to Infracore′s strategy).
The construction of the Genolier Innovation Hub (GIH) on the Genolier campus – AEVIS′s most prestigious project with a total cost of more than CHF 100 million, of which AEVIS contributed CHF 20 million – was inaugurated with a grand opening ceremony on 27 September 2024.
The main objective of the GIH is to bring together key players in the medtech, pharma and life sciences sectors. This will foster strategic interactions between scientists and physicians, accelerating the transfer of innovative solutions from bench to bedside. The Hub offers a range of workspaces, all equipped with the latest technology to support new discoveries and creative advances. These include 8′000 m2 of offices and laboratories, a 2′500 m2 conference center and a state-of-the-art 300-seat auditorium.
The opening of the GIH will also contribute to the growth of the rental income of Infracore, the non-consolidated real estate subsidiary in which AEVIS VICTORIA directly and indirectly holds a 30% stake. In addition, the Genolier campus is now much more attractive to medical staff and researchers, making it a flagship location within the Swiss Medical Network.
Batgroup, a minority and unconsolidated subsidiary of AEVIS specializing in on-demand home cleaning services, increased its revenues and profitability in a highly competitive market. The company remains the undisputed leader in its sector in Switzerland and operate in several promising markets in Europe.
Steriparc SA, a minority holding of AEVIS and a joint venture with Swiss Post and other healthcare partners, made significant progress last year and will be operational in spring 2025. Based in Yverdon-les-Bains, the company will offer an outsourced sterilization services platform for medical service providers such as hospitals and outpatient clinics in French-speaking Switzerland.
Investments in Well Gesundheit AG and AD Swiss Net AG, two minority investments in digital health platforms, are showing promising developments. Well, the leading health app in Switzerland, saw a strong, 40% increase in users in 2024. The digital solutions offered by AD Swiss Net are being used to establish integrated healthcare regions.
In June 2024, TCS Swiss Ambulance Rescue (TCS SAR) expanded its network with two acquisitions in the cantons of Berne and Vaud. TCS SAR now also operates in Biel and, following the acquisition of ASV Ambulances, based in Rennaz, TCS SAR now has five sites in the canton of Vaud. Effective 31 December 2024, AEVIS VICTORIA sold its 40% minority stake to TCS SAR, giving TCS SAR full control over the company. TCS SAR will thus take the next steps in its development as an independent company and further consolidate its position as a leading player in the field of rescue and patient transport in Switzerland. AEVIS realized a profit on the sale of its stake of CHF 1.4 million.

All information on the compensation of the Company′s Board of Directors and Senior Management is provided in the separate Remuneration Report.
All shareholders recorded in the share register with voting rights are entitled to attend and vote at the General Meetings. Each share recorded in the share register with a right to vote entitles the holder to one vote at General Meetings.

The Board of Directors specifies the process and conditions for issuing authorizations and instructions to the independent proxy. Shareholders may issue voting instructions both for proposals relating to agenda items set out in the invitation to the General Meeting and for undisclosed new proposals.
If new proposals or amendments to proposals are made at the General Meeting by a shareholder or the Board of Directors, shareholders can instruct the independent proxy to vote in accordance with the proposal of the Board of Directors, to vote against such new proposals or to abstain from voting. Shareholders also have the option to issue proxies and instructions to the independent proxy electronically via the online platform provided by Computershare Schweiz AG.
The Board of Directors sets the requirements for the exercise and recognition of voting rights.
Pursuant to article 703 Swiss Code of Obligations, the General Meeting passes resolutions and makes elections, if not otherwise required by law (article 704 Swiss Code of Obligations), with an absolute majority of the votes represented at the meeting.
In accordance with articles 13 and 14 of the Articles of Association, the General Meeting is convened once a year within six months of the end of the financial year. The Board of Directors, the auditor, the liquidator or one or a number of shareholders together representing at least 5% of the share capital or the votes may request that a General Meeting be convened.
Invitations to the General Meeting are issued at least 20 days before the date set for the meeting, by being published in the Swiss Official Gazette of Commerce (SOGC). Besides the date, time, form and location of the General Meeting, the invitation must set out all agenda items together with the proposals of the Board of Directors and the shareholders having requested that the General Meeting be convened or that an item be included in the agenda, with a short explanation, as well as the name and address of the independent proxy.

The AEVIS VICTORIA Remuneration Report has been prepared in compliance with the articles 732 et seq. of the Swiss Code of Obligations and the SIX Swiss Exchange directive on Information relating to Corporate Governance (DCG).
The Remuneration Report will be submitted to the advisory vote of the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting of 2025. Article 23 ter to quinquies of the Articles of Association relate to the remuneration of Board Members and Senior Management.
The Board of Directors has the overall responsibility of defining the compensation principles used within the Group, based on a proposal of the Nomination and Compensation Committee. The Board of Directors deals with compensation matters once a year, without consulting external advisors. The Board of Directors approves the compensation of its Chairman, its Members and the Senior Management. The compensation of Board Members and Senior Management is subject to approval by the Annual General Meeting. The Nomination and Compensation Committee is chaired by a non-executive Board Member and is composed of at least two Board Members. The Nomination and Compensation Committee Members are elected individually by the Annual General Meeting for a term of office until completion of the next Annual General Meeting. Members of the Nomination and Compensation Committee whose term of office has expired are immediately eligible for re-election.
On 31.12.2024, the Nomination and Compensation Committee was composed of Cédric A. George (Chairman) and Antoine Kohler. The Nomination and Compensation Committee assists the Board of Directors in the establishment and the periodic revision of the compensation strategy and directives. The Committee prepares the proposals of the Board of Directors to the Annual General Meeting regarding the compensation of the Board Members and the Senior Management. It determines the principles for remuneration of the Board Members and the Senior Management and submits them to the Board of Directors for approval. It oversees and discusses the overall remuneration policy and the remuneration principles of the company and the Group and keeps the Board updated. The Committee determines the employee participation schemes, including an allocation of shares, share options or other financial instruments to the Board Members, the Senior Management and other beneficiaries and submits them to the Board for approval.
The Nomination and Compensation Committee also establishes the principles for the selection of candidates to the Board, selects candidates for election or re-election and submits them to the Board. The Board of Directors may assign additional tasks to the Nomination and Compensation Committee.
A Nomination and Compensation Committee Charter governs the Nomination and Compensation Committee.
According to article 23 quinquies of the Articles of Association, non-executive Board Members receive a fixed compensation, which considers the position and level of responsibility of the beneficiary. At least 20% and up to 50% of their compensation must be converted in AEVIS VICTORIA shares, with a two-year vesting period. The number of AEVIS VICTORIA shares is determined by taking the 60 days VWAP of the share on the SIX Swiss Exchange at the date of allocation.
The payment in cash and the conversion in shares are executed yearly before the end of the term of office. From the date of allocation, the shares have both voting and dividend rights. The remuneration is accounted for using the accrual principle.
The Annual General Meeting approves the proposal of the Board of Directors in relation to the maximum aggregate amount of the compensation of the Board of Directors for the period until the next Annual General Meeting. The Board of Directors can submit different or additional proposals covering the same period or different periods to the approval of the Annual General Meeting. In the event the Annual General Meeting does not approve a proposal of the Board, the Board determines, considering all pertinent criteria, the total (maximum) amount or the partial respective (maximum) amounts and submits the(se) amount(s) thus determined to the approval of an Annual General Meeting.
Notwithstanding the previously stated information, the Company or companies controlled by it can pay remunerations prior to the approval of the Annual General Meeting, subject to the approval by the Annual General Meeting.

As at 31 December 2024, the Company did not yet comply with the legal requirement of article 734f of the Swiss Code of Obligations regarding the representation of both genders in the Board of Directors. During the transition period until 01.01.2026, the Board of Directors will consider appointing female members to fill any vacancies.
Geneva, April 3, 2025
We have audited the remuneration report of AEVIS VICTORIA SA (the Company) for the year ended December 31, 2024. The audit was limited to the information pursuant to Art. 734a-734f of the Swiss Code of Obligations (CO) in sections 2.2 to 2.4, sections 3.2 to 3.5 and section 5 of the Remuneration Report.
In our opinion, the information pursuant to Art. 734a-734f CO in the accompanying remuneration report complies with Swiss law and the Company's articles of incorporation.
We conducted our audit in accordance with Swiss law and Swiss Standards on Auditing (SA-CH). Our responsibilities under those provisions and standards are further described in the "Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Remuneration Report" section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the provisions of Swiss law and the requirements of the Swiss audit profession, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
The Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, but does not include the sections 2.2 to 2.4, sections 3.2 to 3.5 and section 5 of the Remuneration Report, the consolidated financial statements, the stand-alone financial statements and our auditor's reports thereon.
Our opinion on the Remuneration Report does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the Remuneration Report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the audited financial information in the Remuneration Report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of a Remuneration Report in accordance with the provisions of Swiss law and the Company's articles of incorporation, and for such internal control as the Board of Directors determines is necessary to enable the preparation of a Remuneration Report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The Board of Directors is also responsible for designing the remuneration system and defining individual remuneration packages.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the information pursuant to Art. 734a-734f CO is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Swiss law and SA-CH will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this Remuneration Report.
As part of an audit in accordance with Swiss law and SA-CH, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
We communicate with the Board of Directors and/or its relevant committee regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
Page 2/3
We also provide the Board of Directors and/or its relevant committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.

Environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues are of key importance to AEVIS VICTORIA SA (AEVIS) and its investments. During the past financial year, we focused in particular on the implementation of the new Art. 964a et seq. of the Swiss Code of Obligations. At the same time, our main holdings, namely Swiss Medical Network Holding SA, MRH Switzerland AG and Swiss Hotel Properties AG, have made various efforts to reduce the impact of their activities on the environment and to reduce their carbon footprint.
Climate change and the loss of biodiversity are among the world′s greatest challenges. We have therefore been integrating environmentally friendly practices for several years, including energy optimization, waste management and soft mobility for employees.
The Group′s most significant sustainable value creation project relates to the Swiss healthcare framework and the goal of moving from a disease management system to a health management system. By establishing the first integrated care offering in the Jura Arc and confirming the creation of a second integrated care region in the Canton of Ticino, Swiss Medical Network is making a strategic and sustainable contribution to a more efficient and cost-effective healthcare system in Switzerland. In these pioneering offerings, called Réseau de l′Arc and Rete Sant′Anna, healthcare providers are not paid on a fee-for-service basis, but have a global budget based on the population they serve. This principle is known as full capitation. The aim is to keep people healthy by focusing on prevention and regular medical follow-up, rather than intervening downstream when they become ill. Together with its partners, Swiss Medical Network will continue to promote this paradigm shift and intends to introduce this model in other regions of Switzerland.
Together with the health insurance company Visana, the VIVA health plan is being offered, focusing on being healthy and staying healthy. This reduces costs and leads to fair health insurance prices. In the Jura Arc, for example, premiums for 2025 have not increased compared with 2024, contrary to the general trend in Switzerland.
In terms of human capital, AEVIS has over 4′000 employees in total, the vast majority of whom are women. The central administration is lean, the workplaces are flexible, and the training and development of employees is highly valued. Combined with an appreciative culture based on openness and mutual respect, this results in a low turnover rate and a high level of commitment.
We are continuing our journey to integrate additional ESG principles into our major investments and have taken steps to embed them in our business purpose and strategy, as evidenced by the Chief Sustainability Officer role at Swiss Medical Network, our largest investment in terms of sales and employees, and the creation of a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Manager position at MRH Switzerland.
This report provides an overview of how AEVIS and its three main subsidiaries are working to protect the environment, our employees and society as a whole.
Christian Wenger Chairman of the Board
This report on non-financial matters has been prepared in accordance with Art. 964a et seq. of the Swiss Code of Obligations. As AEVIS is an investment company with no operations of its own other than investment management and central functions such as finance and accounting management, the report focuses on environmental, social, labor, human rights and anti-bribery performance indicators of AEVIS′s three main subsidiaries.
This report is based on current Swiss law. AEVIS and its independently managed subsidiaries closely monitor legislative and jurisprudential developments in order to continually adapt their governance control systems and operational processes.
This report provides an overview of AEVIS VICTORIA′s investment activities and the results of the Group and its three segments, while the core report focuses on the impact of activities on non-financial matters. Where appropriate, the report refers to the 2024 Annual Report.
This non-financial report will be submitted to shareholders for approval at the 2025 Annual General Meeting.
AEVIS VICTORIA is an investment company established in 2006. In line with its mission to invest for a better life, the company pursues an investment strategy focused on three sectors with high added value and strong growth potential: healthcare, hospitality and infrastructure.
AEVIS VICTORIA′s main participations are Swiss Medical Network Holding SA (76.3%, direct and indirect), the only Swiss private hospital network present in the country′s three main language regions; MRH Switzerland AG, a luxury hotel group managing eleven luxury hotels in Switzerland and abroad; and Swiss Hotel Properties AG, a hospitality real estate division. The most significant non-consolidated participation is Infracore SA (30%, directly and indirectly), a real estate company specializing in healthcare infrastructure and long-term rental contracts, mainly with the various hospitals of Swiss Medical Network.
Swiss Medical Network is a group of hospitals and medical centers represented in all three main linguistic regions of Switzerland. Patients are offered personalized medical services, high quality care and first-class service. Today, the network consists of 21 hospitals, 30 medical centers, 9 emergency centers, a network of 22 ophthalmology centers, and competence centers.
The philosophy of Swiss Medical Network, its employees and its affiliated doctors is to put the patient first, at the center of healthcare. This vision has become an even clearer reality with the implementation of an integrated care system, exclusive to Switzerland, which was launched in the Jura Arc in 2023 and will be launched in Ticino in 2025.
AEVIS VICTORIA entered the hospitality & lifestyle sector in 2014 with the public tender offer for the luxury hotel group Victoria-Jungfrau Collection. By the end of 2024, AEVIS VICTORIA had added the Mont Cervin Palace, Le Petit Cervin, the Monte Rosa Hotel and the Schweizerhof in Zermatt, the AlpenGold in Davos, the Hotel Adula in Flims and the L′Oscar Hotel in London to its portfolio. Through its operating subsidiaries, AEVIS VICTORIA now operates eleven luxury hotels under the "Michel Reybier Hospitality" brand.
AEVIS VICTORIA owns a unique mix of high-quality real estate assets, including healthcare and hospitality properties. The Group′s real estate portfolio consists of direct and indirect investments in Swiss Hotel Properties AG (100%) and Infracore SA (30%). Swiss Hotel Properties is a hospitality infrastructure company based in Switzerland. Its portfolio consists of 27 properties in seven prime locations in Switzerland and London with a total area of 131′020 m2 and a market value of CHF 881.2 million.
Infracore SA is a healthcare infrastructure company based in Switzerland. Its portfolio consists of 47 high-quality properties in 19 prime locations throughout Switzerland, with a total rentable area over 206′000 m2 and a market value estimated at CHF 1.33 billion.
AEVIS VICTORIA recorded financial and non-financial results with total income of CHF 1′057.17 million. The strength of the Group was underlined by an operating profit at EBITDAR level of CHF 172.0 million.
At the segment level, Swiss Medical Network SA generated consolidated revenues of CHF 812.1 million in the period under review. The Hospitality division generated revenues of CHF 188.4 million, an increase of 10.5%. In the Real Estate division, the portfolio value of Swiss Hotel Properties increased to CHF 881.2 million and that of Infracore to CHF 1.33 billion on the reporting date.
The total direct economic contribution for 2024 includes payments for salaries and benefits for over 4′000 employees and doctors, as well as payments to suppliers, taxes and voluntary projects in Switzerland.
More detailed figures can be found in the 2024 Annual Report on pages 4 to 17.
Swiss Medical Network accounts for 80.7% of the Group′s total turnover and employs 70.0% of all of AEVIS VICTORIA′s employees. The reporting on non-financial matters therefore focuses on the activities and measures taken in the hospital segment, including its buildings (which are mainly owned by Infracore). The hospitality activities are combined for the operating company and the associated hotel property business. Human rights and anti-corruption reporting is provided for all operating segments.
Swiss Medical Network has developed a formal sustainable development strategy based on the three common CSR pillars:
This strategy is being implemented by means of a roadmap based on the new legal requirements (including targets for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions) and on the creation of a carbon footprint for each hospital (2024–2025).
The Chief Sustainability Officer is in charge of supervising the governance structure, based on the following objectives:
Based on a feasibility study and in collaboration with the technology company Siemens, the process of decarbonizing 17 hospitals has been initiated. The aim is to reduce CO2 emissions (heating and cooling) by 65% by 2030. Swiss Medical Network and Infracore are also working on implementing an energy efficiency program for their hospital buildings. A pilot carbon footprint project carried out on the Genolier campus in 2024 confirms that more than 80% of a hospital′s environmental impact is based on just five elements: heating and cooling, catering, electricity, pharmaceutical products and mobility.
The hospital decarbonization program launched in 2023 has resulted in major works at the Genolier campus in Genolier, Clinique Valmont in Glion-sur-Montreux, Clinica Sant′Anna in Lugano and Clinica Ars Medica in Gravesano.
The overall objectives are the following:
Decarbonization of 17 hospitals (replacing fossil fuels with heat pumps, geothermal energy or district heating)
Installation of photovoltaic panels on the roofs of all hospitals, starting with Clinique de Genolier (completed), followed by Clinique Valmont in Glion-sur-Montreux, Clinica Sant′Anna in Lugano and Clinica Ars Medica in Gravesano
Gradual development of an Asset Performance Advisor platform (monitoring of technical installations and optimizing energy performance)
Improvement of buildings′ energy performance
Conclusion of cantonal or federal agreements to include each hospital in a government program to control energy consumption
Overall reduction of electricity consumption (LEDs, presence detectors, ventilation activation program, etc.)
Reduction of water consumption (in particular by installing flow regulators for showers)
Significant investment in the latest state-of-the-art low-consumption medical equipment in all hospitals to optimize energy and water consumption
Contributing to the preservation of biodiversity (BeeSustainable): The installation of three beehives near each hospital has been completed in 2024. The first annual harvest in the summer of 2024 will allow demonstrations, conferences and, above all, the distribution of honey to staff and patients
Measures to promote mobility (financial contributions to public transport, electric charging points, car-pooling) have been launched with investments at Clinique de Genolier, Clinique de Montchoisi, Privatklinik Villa im Park and Privatklinik Bethanien
In an effort to move towards a circular economy and zero waste initiatives, Swiss Medical Network has eliminated plastic cutlery in all its hospitals. Paper cups for staff are gradually being replaced with sustainable cups. The hospital network is also exploring responsible procurement and supplier partnerships, as well as sustainable medical equipment solutions. To support these efforts, a dashboard to monitor and optimize the logistics of all hospital waste is being explored.
The latest and most environmentally friendly technologies (wooden construction elements, etc.) are being used in all development projects on the various hospital sites, such as the new radiotherapy unit at the Clinique Générale Beaulieu, the new building at the Privatklinik Villa im Park and the state-of-the-art Genolier Innovation Hub, designed to promote innovation in the healthcare sector.
A recent assessment carried out in all the hospitals shows that the impact of the implementation of sustainable management and the launch of numerous measures and improvement projects will lead to a significant overall improvement of 54% between mid-2023 and the end of 2024 in the following areas:
The Genolier Innovation Hub, inaugurated in 2024, is committed to sustainability:
Swiss Medical Network covers all three major linguistic/cultural regions of Switzerland. Hospitals and medical centers traditionally have a high degree of autonomy and their own historical culture. More than 72 nationalities are represented within Swiss Medical Network:
| 50.5% |
|---|
| 24.0% |
| 8.5% |
| 5.0% |
| 3.5% |
| 6.0% |
| 2.5% |
The proportion of women at Swiss Medical Network is over 74%, and more than 50% of management positions are held by women. Encouraging diversity, regardless of constraints or quotas, and creating the right conditions and working models for working mothers and fathers is what characterizes Swiss Medical Network and remains one of the Group′s key concerns. 47% of employees work part-time, most of them in the care sector (>63%).
| Management | 50.0% |
|---|---|
| Administration | 84.0% |
| Care | 82.5% |
| Medical technology | 70.5% |
| Logistics | 42.5% |

The age structure of the workforce is well balanced:
| 15–24 years | 8.0% |
|---|---|
| 25–34 years | 24.5% |
| 35–44 years | 23.0% |
| 45–54 years | 25.0% |
| 55–64 years | 17.5% |
| Over 65 | 2.0% |
The professional and personal development of employees, fairness and equality, and inclusion are top priorities for Swiss Medical Network. At a time when there is a shortage of qualified staff, it is all the more important to be able to offer a caring working environment and attractive development prospects. All employees can take advantage of a wide range of career opportunities and develop within the Group.
The main occupational groups, covering a total of 425 professions within the Swiss Medical Network:
| 57.0% |
|---|
| 11.0% |
| 14.0% |
| 3.0% |
| 15.0% |
Between 1 July 2020 and 30 June 2021, PricewaterhouseCoopers conducted the legally required equal pay analysis in all our hospitals. The results show that women and men receive the same pay for work of equal value. No hospital has a significant pay gap.
The H+ sector solution has been introduced in most of our facilities. This system helps hospitals throughout Switzerland to implement the legal requirements that employers must apply to protect the health and safety of their employees in the workplace. The main objective is to develop and continuously improve the company′s safety system to ensure health and safety at work.
In each of the medical centers and hospitals, an employee has been appointed to ensure that the guidelines are applied, and regional representatives have also been appointed to improve coordination between the various Swiss Medical Network sites. All STPS referral staff receive initial and ongoing training on the subject.
Excellence in quality management is the basis of the daily work of the entire Swiss Medical Network Group and thus of each individual employee. The quality and safety of care, risk management, staff training and development, and sustainability are at the heart of our concerns. In order to ensure their application, quality management is based in particular on the DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 standard and Deming′s PDCA wheel (Plan, Do, Check, Act).
Quality management focuses on the following areas:
At Swiss Medical Network we are committed to maintaining high standards of professional and ethical behavior. Our success as a company depends on the integrity of our people and our commitment to transparency, loyalty and respect. The Code of Conduct sets out the fundamental principles that guide our actions every day.
At Swiss Medical Network, we are committed to providing a work environment that is free from harassment, discrimination and intimidation. Harassment in any form, including sexual harassment, intimidation and any other form of offensive behavior, is strictly prohibited. Violations of this policy may result in disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal.
– Training and information: All employees will be informed of our anti-harassment policy as soon as they are hired. This information will include the definition of harassment, examples of inappropriate behavior, the consequences of breaches and reporting procedures. Regular training sessions will be organized to maintain awareness and inform employees of the latest developments in harassment prevention. This will also help to reinforce the company′s culture of mutual respect.
In the healthcare sector, value is created for the benefit of society in three main areas:
Switzerland′s first integrated healthcare organization was launched in the Jura Arc in 2023. It brings together all the regional healthcare players: hospitals, medical centers, therapy centers and other service providers to offer innovative and comprehensive healthcare throughout the Jura Arc. The Réseau de l′Arc is a joint initiative of the Swiss Medical Network, the Visana health insurance group and the Canton of Berne. The successful principle of integrated care is based on the transformation of an illness-focused system into a true health system with a focus on prevention. From the beginning of 2025, integrated care will be offered in the canton of Ticino, following the creation of the Rete Sant′Anna.
The Swiss healthcare system is currently at a dead end. Misguided incentives encourage unnecessary treatment and cause costs to rise inexorably. In fact, it can be said that today′s healthcare system is largely disintegrated. Key players pursue their own specific, often conflicting, interests. There is a lack of coordination.
The aim must be to meet these challenges without exploding costs and without compromising quality, through the efficient and targeted use of available resources and technologies. Access to health services for the entire population must be ensured in the long term. A paradigm shift is required. This is where Réseau de l′Arc and Rete Sant′Anna come in, with their VIVA health plan and their primary mission to protect the health of their members and prevent accidents and illnesses. Moreover, in this system, healthcare providers are not paid on a fee-for-service basis, but share a global budget based on the number of people they care for. This principle, known as full capitation, keeps costs down by prioritizing quality over quantity.
In the Réseau de l′Arc and the Rete Sant′Anna, all medical services, from primary care and hospital services to Spitex and elderly care, can be provided from a single source. Patient care and human resources are coordinated and managed holistically by our healthcare organization. This improves the quality of medical care and significantly reduces costs. Financial incentives to provide unnecessary services are eliminated, and everyone involved is motivated to ensure the flow of information in favor of more efficient and therefore more sustainable personalized care.
The Genolier Innovation Hub stands for value-based medicine and offers an integrated approach to innovation. The main objective of the Genolier Innovation Hub is to bring together the main players in the medtech, pharma and bioscience sectors. Their programs are in the late stages of experimental development and their drugs or devices are ready to be tested in a clinical setting. The aim is to foster strategic interactions between scientists and physicians and to accelerate the transfer of innovative solutions from bench to bedside. The Genolier Innovation Hub is ideally located halfway between the two major cities of Geneva and Lausanne, with stunning views of Lake Geneva and the Alps.
The Hub is integrated into the Genolier Healthcare Campus, together with the Clinique de Genolier, the Clinique Nescens and the Genolier Cancer Centre.
Everything is designed to facilitate interaction and synergy between all the players in the Hub: the building offers different types of workspaces, all equipped with the most advanced technologies to support new discoveries and creative advances, including 8′000 m2 of offices and laboratories, 1′000 m2 of meeting rooms and an auditorium with a capacity of 300 people. Thanks to its dynamic and collaborative environment, the Hub strongly supports its stakeholders in consolidating their research and development processes.
Founded in 1986 at the Clinique de Genolier, the Genolier Foundation′s mission is to help patients in need, suffering from serious, disabling or chronic illnesses, so that they can benefit from the best possible treatment, care and monitoring in the Swiss Medical Network′s facilities and return to an active life.
Specifically, the Genolier Foundation provides support in the following areas:
To date, the Genolier Foundation has helped more than 700 patients and donated medical equipment worth more than CHF 1.5 million.
With its medical focus, the Genolier Foundation places particular emphasis on supporting specific training and clinical research projects (carried out by medical specialists at Swiss Medical Network facilities), where the latter have a direct and positive impact on the therapeutic options and patients′ quality of life.
The Genolier Foundation is also active abroad, because there are still too many regions in the world where children and adults die every day because local medical care is either inaccessible or completely lacking. In favor of a sustainable approach, the Genolier Foundation focuses on humanitarian medical aid projects that contribute directly to improving local healthcare and educating the local population. These include
In the hospitality segment of MRH Switzerland, the sustainability strategy was pursued throughout the year, moving from the environmental spectrum to the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) spectrum. This broader scope combines social, societal and environmental aspects and has led to the creation of a new position within the company: a CSR manager.
The CSR team looks for environmentally friendly behavior, solutions and alternatives on a daily basis. Ultimately, it′s the commitment of the operations that makes a real difference and contributes to a truly positive impact: MRH employees are continuously educated to choose the right path for the planet.
In the hospitality industry, energy resources represent the largest environmental impact, as well as being a significant cost for properties. MRH assesses and reduces its carbon footprint by carefully monitoring its energy and water performance and implementing alternative solutions.
To complete the resource conservation strategy in 2023 (BMS, LED, ventilation on demand etc.), properties will be selected to undergo an energy audit. This will allow us to identify additional ways to make our buildings more efficient: installation of solar panels, replacement of current unsustainable heating systems (i.e. fuel oil), reduction of our temperature set point (heating and cooling) and finally a review of the thermal envelope as a whole. These audits will allow us to implement such solutions throughout the perimeter, based on measured data and evidence.
A pilot project for the Green Globe label has been launched at the Bellevue Palace Hotel in Berne. This CSR label will help to clearly define our CSR strategy while implementing new sustainable resource-saving solutions.
Finally, Green Boards have been installed in the back offices of all properties to reinforce the daily promotion of eco-friendly gestures: switching off lights, closing doors and windows, proper ventilation, switching off idling vents, properly unplugging electrical appliances, turning off taps and responsible printing are encouraged.
MRH reaffirmed its commitment to reducing the amount of waste it produces. The 3Rs program – reduce, reuse, recycle – is ongoing and has become an integral part of every property. A 3Rs chart is completed each month by the Green Committees.
To help the properties achieve their target, MRH has supported them by eliminating single-use plastics in all areas:
MRH′s new "Clutter-Free Meeting Practices" policy has been developed to enable properties to reduce waste when hosting meetings.
KPIs for waste collection reduction have been implemented in 2024 for 2025.
MRH is responsible not only for its own actions, but also for its entire supply chain, and only works with responsible suppliers and partners.
In 2024, 100% of our new suppliers signed the "Supplier Code of Conduct", demonstrating their social and environmental commitment.
In addition, MRH has developed a new F&B Charter for 2025, requiring that at least 30% of F&B products be sourced from the country of the property and an additional 30% of F&B products be sourced from limitrophe countries.
In 2024 there was a new focus on carbon footprint and biodiversity.
MRH has evaluated several solutions to assess its carbon footprint. Initial results will be available in 2025.
Biodiversity is at the heart of the hotels′ immediate concerns. In 2024 MRH hotels will donate more than CHF 18′000 to Elephant Family (https://elephant-family.org) for the conservation of elephants and their habitat. In addition, every member of the general management and every hotel manager has attended a Climate Fresk workshop.
Under the umbrella of Michel Reybier Hospitality, each employee is the perfect host, doing everything possible to ensure that our guests are satisfied and want to return. Every service and every product must meet or exceed the guest′s expectations and be provided with pleasure and pride.
Michel Reybier Hospitality′s (MRH) operations are managed by a dynamic quality management system. The company is committed to operating in an environmentally responsible manner. Michel Reybier Hospitality′s core values take these objectives into account:
Michel Reybier Hospitality values a pleasant working environment where employees feel valued. In 2024, 40.8% of the total workforce were women and 59.2% were men. The staff turnover rate is less than 7%, excluding seasonal staff and internal transfers.
Employees are offered the following internal training:
In 2024, 32 training sessions were held and 230 people were trained, resulting in 7.9% internal promotion. Other trainings such as first aid and fire procedures were also held on the properties to ensure the safety of employees and guests.
All Group employees have a right to the protection of their personal integrity in the workplace. Michel Reybier Hospitality strives to ensure a climate of mutual respect and trust. The company has a detailed policy on sexual harassment and intimidation. An MRH Code of Conduct and a Sexual Harassment Policy were developed in 2024, to be integrated and signed by each employee.
In hotels, the most important value that can be created is a satisfied and happy customer, and customer satisfaction and its measurement are therefore crucial.
In 2024, MRH was able to collect more guest satisfaction data, with each hotel on board. More than 9′000 reviews were collected, both in person and online, resulting in a global guest satisfaction score of 93%.
Very good results were also achieved in terms of satisfaction per service. Cleanliness, hotel location, reservation service and reception were the top performers with ratings above 95%.
In addition to customer satisfaction, Michel Reybier Hospitality supports a number of charities, such as Elephant Family for animal protection and Room to Read for literacy and girls′ education, as well as making regular contributions to the Genolier Foundation (see also page 60).
Respect for human rights is of paramount importance to AEVIS VICTORIA and its subsidiaries, which operate only in Switzerland, with the exception of the L′Oscar Hotel in central London. No (material) human rights issues were identified in 2024. This includes the absence of forced labor, substandard working conditions or threats to the personal freedom of employees, threats of harassment of employees and slavery. A reporting system is in place to allow employees or independent practitioners, as well as external partners or stakeholders, to raise concerns about potential human rights violations they may have observed. No such incidents were reported in 2024.
Swiss Medical Network′s Human Rights Policy includes several key elements to ensure the protection and promotion of the fundamental rights of each individual. Swiss Medical Network is committed to respecting fundamental human rights as set out in international human rights instruments. This policy aims to integrate these principles into all our activities and operations.
AEVIS VICTORIA and its three main subsidiaries operate exclusively in Switzerland, with the exception of the L′Oscar Hotel in central London. AEVIS is therefore not covered by the OECD Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions.
Swiss Medical Network, which accounts for 80.7% of AEVIS VICTORIA′s turnover, operates in a highly regulated system, the Swiss healthcare market. Interactions with patients, policyholders and service providers are transparent and governed by clear rules and regulations.
A system is in place for whistleblowers to report any bribery or corruption-related matters to the Human Resources department. No such reports were observed in 2024.
The Board of Directors of AEVIS VICTORIA SA approved the 2024 non-financial report on 1 April 2025.

AEVIS VICTORIA SA (hereafter "The Company") has its registered offices at 1700 Fribourg, Switzerland. The Company′s purpose consists of holding interests in financial, commercial and industrial enterprises in Switzerland and abroad, in areas such as medical treatment, healthcare and hotels.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis in accordance with Swiss GAAP FER. They comply with the requirements of the Swiss law and the listing rules of SIX Swiss Exchange. The Swiss GAAP FER apply to all companies included in the scope of consolidation. The principle of individual valuation has been applied to assets and liabilities.
The consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on 1 April 2025. Final approval is subject to acceptance by the Annual General Meeting on 21 May 2025.
First-time application of revised Swiss GAAP FER 30 "Consolidated Financial Statements" The revised Swiss GAAP FER 30 "Consolidated Financial Statements" came into force on 1 January 2024.
As mentioned in the notes on the first-time application of the revised standard, the new FER 30 rules, from paragraphs 14 to 23 will be applied to acquisitions/divestments in reporting periods from 1 January 2024.
The first-time application of the revised Swiss GAAP FER 30 resulted in a minor change in the presentation of the consolidated cash flow statement. In the past, changes in minority interests were recognized in the cash flow from financing activities. According to the revised standard, these changes now have to be recognized in the cash flow from investing activities. The prior year has been adjusted accordingly.
In accordance with the revised standard, the note regarding the theoretical activation of goodwill does now also include the theoretical recognition of negative goodwill as a liability. For a better understanding of the note, the previous year has been adjusted accordingly (see note 30).
The first-time application of the revised Swiss GAAP FER 30 has no other material impacts on the consolidated financial statements of the Group.
The revised Swiss GAAP FER 28 "Government Grants" came into force on 1 January 2024. The new standard corresponds to the accounting practice already applied by the Group and therefore has no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Due to the first-time application of the revised Swiss GAAP FER 30 as of 1 January 2024, the consolidation principles have been adjusted and are described below:
The consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2024 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries ("the Group") as well as interests in associates.
The assets and liabilities of newly acquired companies are recognized at fair value at the date of acquisition. Entities controlled by the Group are consolidated by applying the purchase method.
Subsidiaries are companies controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of a company with the objective of obtaining benefits from its activities. Subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date control effectively commences until the date control ceases. The net assets of a newly acquired company are measured at fair values at the date of acquisition. Any difference between purchase price and net assets is offset with equity. In an acquisition achieved in stages (step acquisition), the difference between purchase price and net assets is determined on each separate transaction at the corresponding acquisition date. The full consolidation method is used, whereby all assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements.
A joint venture is a contractual agreement whereby two or more parties undertake an economic activity that is subject to joint control. Joint control means that the strategic financial and operating decisions relating to the activity require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing the control and the capital. The Group′s share of each of the assets, liabilities, income and expense is shown on each item of the consolidated financial statements on a pro rata basis in accordance with the Group′s share in capital in the joint venture.
Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but no control over the financial and operating policies. Significant influence is usually assumed when the Group owns 20% to 50% of the voting rights in the Company. Associates are accounted for using the equity method (equity accounted investees). The consolidated financial statements include the Group′s share of the profit or loss of equity accounted investees, from the date that significant influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases.
When the Group′s share of losses exceeds its interest in an equity accounted investee, the carrying amount of that interest (including any long-term investments) is reduced to nil and the recognition of further losses is discontinued, except to the extent that the Group has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the investee.
The assets and liabilities of consolidated and associated companies included in the consolidation for the first time are valued at current values which do include a purchase price allocation. The positive or negative goodwill arising from this revaluation is offset against equity. In the event of a step-acquisition, positive or negative goodwill is determined separately for each individual acquisition step.
If minority interests in a fully consolidated subsidiary are acquired, the difference between the purchase price and the proportionate carrying amount of the minority interests is recognized as goodwill or negative goodwill and offset against equity. In case of a reduction in ownership without a loss of control, the difference between the sales price and the proportionate carrying amount including the proportionate goodwill or negative goodwill is recognized in the consolidated income statement.
Companies and businesses sold during the year are excluded from the consolidated financial statements from the date of the sale. Where interests in fully consolidated companies or companies accounted for using the equity method are sold, the positive or negative goodwill which was offset against equity is recognized in the consolidated income statement at original cost for the purpose of calculating the gain or loss resulting from the sale.
In case of partial sale/disposal of a fully consolidated subsidiary or a company accounted for using the equity method, the proportionate corresponding goodwill or negative goodwill is booked out in the note for the theoretical activation of goodwill using the FIFO method (first in-first out).
Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. Unrealized gains and losses arising from transactions with associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group′s interest in the associate. Unrealized losses are only eliminated to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Swiss francs (CHF). Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currency of Group companies at exchange rates at the transaction dates. Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognized in the income statement. Financial statements of subsidiaries reporting in foreign currencies are translated into Swiss francs (CHF) during consolidation process using year-end rates for balance sheet items, historical rates for equity and average rates of the year for income and cash flow statements. The translation differences are recognized in equity. Exchange differences arising from long-term intercompany loans with an equity character are booked to equity.
Revenue is recognized at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts, losses on accounts receivables and changes in allowances for doubtful accounts. Revenue from services rendered is recognized in profit or loss in proportion to the stage of completion of the services at the reporting date. The stage of completion is assessed by reference to surveys of work performed. Other revenue does include gain from disposal of assets, the profit resulting from the sale of subsidiaries, the gain resulting from the revaluation of investments in formerly associated companies due to the change in consolidation method and own work capitalized.
Payments made under operating leases are recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Minimum lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between the finance expense and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance expense is allocated to each period during the lease term, in order to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
Income taxes comprise current and deferred taxes. Current taxes are the expected tax payables on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustments to tax payables in respect of previous years.
Deferred taxes are recognized using the balance sheet liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred taxes are measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.
Cash and cash equivalents include cash at bank and in hand.
Listed securities (incl. OTC securities with a market price) are valued at the market values prevailing on the balance sheet date. All realized and unrealized gains and losses resulting from variations in market values are recorded in the income statement.
Receivables are carried at nominal value, less allowance for doubtful receivables. The allowance is based on the aging of trade receivables, specific risks and historical loss experience.
Inventories are measured at the lower of acquisition costs and net realizable value. The cost of inventories is based on the weighted average cost principle. Inventories are regularly adjusted to their net realizable value by the systematic elimination of out-of-date items. Cash discounts are accounted for as a reduction of the acquisition value.
Building position includes the building structure (roof, building facade, structure and basic installation such as heating) while all interior elements are included in leasehold improvements. Lands are not depreciated. Tangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Costs include expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalized as part of that equipment. The cost of replacing part of an item of tangible assets is recognized in the carrying amount of the item, if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably. The costs of day-to-day servicing of tangible assets are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
Depreciation is recognized in income statement on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of tangible assets. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reassessed at the reporting date.
Leases in terms of which the Group substantially assumes all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified at inception as finance leases. Upon initial recognition, the leased asset is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset. Assets under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives (4 to 10 years).
Leases where substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are effectively retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases.
Intangible assets include IT software, websites, trademarks and other intangible assets. Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives (3 to 15 years). Amortization is recognized in income statement on a straight-line basis.
The Group has investments in equity securities that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured. These securities are initially recognized at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. The related long-term loans are recognized at nominal value less impairment losses.
Assets are reviewed at each reporting date, to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell.
Trade and other payables are recognized at nominal value.
Financial liabilities and other borrowings are recognized at nominal value. Transaction costs are recognized in the income statement over the fixed period of the loans or borrowings. Financial liabilities and other borrowings are classified as short-term liabilities when payable within 12 months.
A provision is recognized when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and when it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation.
Contingent liabilities are valued on the balance sheet date based on the agreements in place and other supporting documents. A provision is created, if an outflow of funds is likely.
The preparation of financial information requires Group management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. These estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates. If in future, such assumptions and estimates deviate from the actual circumstances, the original assumptions and estimates will be modified as appropriate in the period during which the circumstances change.

Geneva, April 3, 2025
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of AEVIS VICTORIA SA and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2024, the consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated cash flow statement for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements (pages 77 to 106) give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2024 and of its consolidated results of operations and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Swiss GAAP FER and comply with Swiss law.
We conducted our audit in accordance with Swiss law and Swiss Standards on Auditing (SA-CH). Our responsibilities under those provisions and standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the provisions of Swiss law and the requirements of the Swiss audit profession, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matter
We identified the valuation and existence of tangible assets as a key audit matter due to their significant amount of CHF 1'341'273 reported in the Group's consolidated balance sheet and representing 67% of total assets.
Tangible assets include land and buildings, leasehold improvements, machinery and equipment, fixed assets under construction and other tangible assets.
Tangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Land is not depreciated. Depreciation is recognised in the consolidated income statement on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives and with no residual value.
The valuation of tangible assets depends on the appropriateness of their initial recognition and the estimated useful lives selected, as well as on management's assessment of any impairment risk as of the reporting date.
For further information on tangible assets, please refer to accounting policies and note 15 – Tangible assets.
We performed the following audit procedures:
We obtained sufficient audit evidence to address the risk of valuation and existence of tangible assets.

The Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, but does not include the consolidated financial statements, the stand-alone financial statements, the remuneration report and our auditor's reports thereon.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements which give a true and fair view in accordance with Swiss GAAP FER and the provisions of Swiss law, and for such internal control as the Board of Directors determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern, and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Swiss law and SA-CH will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
Page 3/5
As part of an audit in accordance with Swiss law and SA-CH, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
We communicate with the Board of Directors or its relevant committee regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
Page 4/5
We also provide the Board of Directors or its relevant committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.
From the matters communicated with the Board of Directors or its relevant committee, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
In accordance with article 728a paragraph 1 item 3 CO and SA-CH 890, we confirm that an internal control system exists, which has been designed for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements according to the instructions of the Board of Directors.
We recommend that the consolidated financial statements submitted to you be approved.

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of AEVIS VICTORIA SA (the Company), which comprise the balance sheet as at 31 December 2024, the income statement for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the financial statements (pages 112 to 120) comply with Swiss law and the Company's articles of incorporation.
We conducted our audit in accordance with Swiss law and Swiss Standards on Auditing (SA-CH). Our responsibilities under those provisions and standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the provisions of Swiss law and the requirements of the Swiss audit profession, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. We have determined that there are no key audit matters to communicate in our report.

The Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, but does not include the consolidated financial statements, the stand-alone financial statements, the remuneration report and our auditor's reports thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

As part of an audit in accordance with Swiss law and SA-CH, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also :
We communicate with the Board of Directors or its relevant committee regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the Board of Directors or its relevant committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.
Page 3/4
From the matters communicated with the Board of Directors or its relevant committee, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report, unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
In accordance with article 728a paragraph 1 item 3 CO and SA-CH 890, we confirm that an internal control system exists, which has been designed for the preparation of the financial statements according to the instructions of the Board of Directors.
We further confirm that the proposed appropriation of available retained earnings and the proposed distribution from capital contribution reserve comply with Swiss law and the Company's articles of incorporation.
We recommend that the financial statements submitted to you be approved.
