We report openly and transparently on our business performance and business model.
We look back on an exciting year in which we continued to successfully drive forward our growth and focus strategy. We achieved a strong operating growth in both our business areas. Adjusted for the sale of the pen needle and the blood-glucose monitoring (BGM) business to the Italian company MTD and other one-time effects, we delivered operating sales growth of 38 % and increased our operating profit by almost half to CHF 140.5 million, in line with guidance.
Following the sale of the diabetes speciality retailer DiaExpert in Germany and the sale of the pen needle and BGM business, we have signed the agreement on the sale of Diabetes Care. This marks another important milestone on the way to a reorganised Ypsomed. We expect the transaction to be finalised in the second half of 2025.
We are convinced that two specialised companies will be more focused, more flexible, and therefore more successful. With a clear focus, we aim to concentrate in the future on the multiple opportunities in the subcutaneous self-injection market and on expanding our global manufacturing capacity. Our fundamental growth drivers – the increasing spread of self-medication and the growth in biologics and biosimilars – remain unchanged. Thanks to our automated and scalable processes, we are ideally positioned to participate decisively in this growth.

Gilbert Achermann, Chairman of the Board of Directors Simon Michel, Chief Executive Officer

In the injection systems business area, we once again achieved strong growth of 30% with existing and new customer products. In particular, our autoinjectors made an overproportional contribution with strong sales growth of 50 %. The operating result amounted to CHF 167.0 million.
In addition to the tremendous growth with the well-known GLP-1-based drugs to treat diabetes and obesity, we see significant growth potential in a wide range of indications. Many modern biologics used to treat autoimmune conditions, chronic inflammation, or for new therapies in neurology and for rare diseases are administered by autoinjectors. Biologics are highly complex molecules that are produced in elaborate biotechnological processes in living cells. They can modulate the immune system, reduce inflammation, or target tumour cells and must be injected. They now account for around 30 % of global pharmaceutical sales and this figure is set to rise in the coming years.
Ypsomed has the most comprehensive device portfolio on the market and, thanks to its flexible production lines, can collaborate with small biotech companies, large pharmaceutical companies and the growing number of biosimilar suppliers. Today, around 70 different drugs based on our platforms in 18 different disease areas are on the market worldwide. We are delighted that we were again able to expand into new indications in the past financial year and continue to successfully acquire new projects and customers.
We see a clear trend towards larger injection volumes, particularly with our larger YpsoMate 2.25 autoinjector. If more volume and therefore more active ingredient can be administered with a single injection, the effect can be improved or the frequency of injections reduced. With this in mind, we have optimised the YpsoMate 2.25 autoinjector platform to be compatible with BD Neopak XtraFlow, the pre-filled syringe from BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company). Featuring a shorter, 8-millimetre needle length and a thinner-walled (ultra-thin or extra-thin wall) cannula, the innovative syringe was designed to facilitate the subcutaneous delivery of drugs with higher viscosity (>15 cP).
Overall, we have acquired more than 230 customer projects in recent years, building a robust and diversified portfolio. Around 170 of these projects are new developments and further developments across the entire spectrum from early development to commercialisation and 69 are on the market. Most projects involve autoinjectors for treating autoimmune conditions and rare diseases, followed by pens and autoinjectors for the insulin and GLP-1 product families. Our strong market position is reflected in the collaboration with more than 130 different pharmaceutical and biotech customers. Based on this well-diversified project pipeline, we see tremendous growth opportunities in the field of injection systems over the medium and long term.
Our scalable, fully automated manufacturing processes and our highly integrated value chain underpin our current and future success. We leverage this advantage to meet rapidly growing customer needs. As part of our global investment program Ypsomed 2030, we are extending capacities at our existing sites in Switzerland as well as in Germany and are setting up new plants in China and North America.
At our production site in Schwerin, Germany, we inaugurated a new production hall in October 2024. In January 2025, construction work began on a second plant in Schwerin. The official groundbreaking ceremony was held in March 2025. Over the next two years, another 37 000 m2 will be added to the production area. Here, we attach a great deal of importance to sustainable construction. The new building has been designed in accordance with the internationally recognised LEED Gold standard (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) for green building. The roofs of the production buildings are covered entirely with photovoltaic systems. In addition, we have commissioned the installation of a wind turbine to generate our own electricity.
The new production facility in Changzhou, China, has been completed and the initial equipment installed. In June 2025, we will officially inaugurate the site. At the same time, we are narrowing down the potential sites for our own plant in North America. The diversification of sites and the proximity to our key markets increase supply chain security for our customers and contribute positively to shorter supply chains, helping us to achieve our sustainability goals. By relocating pen needle production after the sale to MTD and the termination of contract manufacturing, we are creating additional production capacity at the Solothurn site for the high-growth autoinjector business and are doubling capacity in toolmaking.
The demand for our mylife Loop automatic insulin delivery (AID) offering, which consists of the mylife YpsoPump and the mylife CamAPS FX app, remains strong. mylife Loop is a leading, hybrid closed-loop solution that enables users of the mylife YpsoPump to benefit from an adaptive algorithm that runs on a smartphone. The improvement in glycaemic control and, in turn, the health of pregnant women with type 1 diabetes and their babies is just one example of the therapeutic added value of our system. With the market leading patient satisfaction rate, we continue to receive very positive feedback from doctors and people with diabetes.
We continue to drive our expansion strategy. In November 2024, we received approval for mylife Loop in Canada and reimbursement approval for the important French market in February 2025. At the end of the financial year, we also launched the iOS version. Germany remains our largest market, and our market share continues to grow. At the end of the financial year, our market share was around 20 %. However, we saw the highest growth rates in the United Kingdom, followed by Spain and the Nordic countries. We were therefore able to increase commercial sales with the mylife YpsoPump by 81 % in the past year. In Burgdorf, we therefore installed a third production line. With more than 70 000 active users of the mylife YpsoPump, we were able to significantly improve our result over the previous year to CHF – 21.7 million.
The operating profit of the Diabetes Care Division was impacted by a one-time charge of CHF – 30.0 million from the sale of the pen needle business. We have agreed on a phased transition with the buyer to ensure the supply of pen needles to patients.
In 2024, Ypsomed once again ranked among Switzerland's most innovative companies in the category of chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and medical technology. We are delighted with this recognition of the hard work of our teams and will bolster our investments in research and development of our products in the coming years – always focused on our vision of making selfcare simpler and easier. Ypsomed was also once again singled out as one of Switzerland's best employers. This award reinforces our commitment to creating a future-oriented working environment. Flexible working models and versatile development opportunities are an integral part of our corporate culture.
At Ypsomed we help improving the life of people with chronic conditions worldwide. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our employees whose tireless efforts contribute to our success. On behalf of the Board of Directors, our thanks also go to our partners and shareholders for their support and their confidence in our company.

Chronic diseases are responsible for around three quarters of all deaths worldwide. The most common diseases include cancer, cardiovascular disease, chronic respiratory disease, and diabetes. More and more people are affected by chronic conditions – and with them their families. The burden on the community is also constantly increasing. The socio-economic costs associated with this development make prevention, control, and treatment of chronic diseases an important development task for the 21st century.1
The United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development recognises chronic diseases as a major challenge. The signatory states commit to developing national actions to reduce premature mortality due to so-called non-communicable diseases by one third by 2030 (SDG 3.4).
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), chronic diseases are usually long-lasting and the result of a combination between genetic, physiological, environmental, and behavioural factors. 2
Chronic diseases affect people of all ages, regions, and countries. Every year, approximately 17 million people worldwide under the age of 70 die from chronic conditions. In this context, genetic predisposition is a significant factor for many of these disease patterns. Nevertheless, certain lifestyle factors such as an unhealthy diet, a lack of exercise, smoking, and harmful alcohol consumption or air pollution can increase the risk of some chronic conditions or have an impact on their progression. In addition, global developments such as the ageing of the population and the worldwide spread of unhealthy lifestyles are contributing to the increase in certain chronic diseases.
With our innovative, simple-to-use and reliable products, we make a significant contribution to the success of a therapy and the best possible quality of life.
Our mission since 2003
The World Health Organization confirms that investment in the better management of chronic diseases is of crucial importance. This includes the early detection and treatment of these diseases.
As a leading developer and manufacturer of injection and infusion systems for the selfmedication of liquid drugs, we support treatment and optimisation of the therapeutic outcome.
Our competence is reflected in our name; "ipso" is the Latin root for oneself and "med" stands for medication. The company name symbolises our core mission: to offer products and services which enable people with chronic diseases to administer liquid medication to themselves in a safe and simple way. With our injection and infusion systems along with the associated services, we help millions of patients to achieve the best possible quality of life.
Ypsomed Delivery Systems provides a comprehensive range of technologies and services for reliable and user-friendly injection systems, as well as Digital Health solutions for self-medication. From the development, design, and manufacturing of injection systems all the way to the operation of digital solutions, we make a decisive contribution to the safety and market success of our pharmaceutical and biotech customers' products.
mylife Diabetescare is the portfolio of products and services for people with diabetes. It offers leading solutions for the automated and intelligent dosing and administration of insulin which combine digital innovations with established medical technology. Smartphone-based therapy management is the future of diabetes treatment by making selfcare simple and less complicated. The diabetes business was transferred to an independent stock corporation in the 2024/25 financial year and is in the process of being sold.
We foster an innovation-friendly corporate culture with honest and transparent communication. Since our foundation, our vision and mission have been shaped by the interests of our shareholders, employees, users, and customers as well as the authorities, society, and the environment. We strive for long-term trusting relationships with our customers and business partners which are characterised by openness and reliability. In doing so, we act in accordance with the applicable laws and respect the various cultural and social norms of each region we interact with.

As a leader in innovation and technology, we are a preferred partner of pharmaceutical and biotech companies for pens and autoinjectors designed for administering liquid medications along with our Digital Health solutions.
Our modular and proven platform technologies ensure rapid availability of the Ypsomed injection systems for clinical trials and market launch. Innovative and patented technologies offer our customers a variety of user-friendly injection systems. All our products are characterised by reliable and sophisticated technical concepts optimised for highly automated mass production.
Autoinjectors are medical devices designed for the administration of complex drug formulations. They are used for fixed- or single-dose applications and can also be used for drugs with higher viscosities and larger volumes. A variant of the autoinjector is the patch injector, which is a device affixed to the user's body.
Our pen platforms are highly-regarded medical devices for the administration of insulin and other peptide- or hormone-based therapies. Pen systems can be used for variableand multi-dose applications.
Ypsomed Digital Health seamlessly integrates the injection devices into our digital solutions to facilitate therapy management for patients. This concept makes therapy management easier for users while generating relevant insights for pharmaceutical companies.

Drugs which are produced in living cells using complex biotechnological processes (biologics) play a significant role in the therapy of many chronic diseases. Examples of such biologics are interferons, monoclonal antibodies, coagulation factors, insulins, and other hormones. Unlike traditional chemical drugs, they are highly complex and large molecules that are administered intravenously in liquid form or very often subcutaneously. Biologics make up a significant proportion of the pipeline of new drugs.
Biosimilars are often less expensive yet highly similar drugs of biotechnological drugs following patent expiry. In contrast to generics of chemical drugs, biosimilars are never completely identical to the original active ingredient owing to a different production process, however, they are still similar to the original.
Biosimilars offer more therapeutic alternatives and improved access to biotechnological products. In its resolution WHA67.21 of the World Health Assembly on the access to biopharmaceuticals in 2014, the WHO confirmed their global importance for improving medical care.
Our platform strategy permits short implementation dates for customer projects while minimising project risks and shortening time to market. We enable pharmaceutical and biotech companies worldwide to make their drugs available in self-injection systems for clinical studies in a timely manner and thus bring them to market more quickly. This is to ensure that we implement customer-specific requirements on industrialised and proven production processes.
As an independent manufacturer with flexible production, we are in a position to also cater for smaller customer orders or start-up companies in addition to large volume orders. Therefore, we make a significant contribution to the treatment of rare diseases with small patient numbers.

We are a recognised diabetes specialist with 40 years of experience. mylife Diabetescare is the name of the brand for Ypsomed's range of products and services for people with diabetes mellitus. We market our product portfolio directly to people with diabetes, medical professionals, pharmacies, and clinics.
With the mylife brand, Ypsomed offers products and services for people with diabetes. These solutions enable users to treat themselves easily, discreetly, and reliably – allowing them more freedom and flexibility in their daily lives.
The mylife YpsoPump insulin pump offers the essential functions for easy use. Thanks to its icon-based menu and the modern touchscreen, the mylife YpsoPump is simple and intuitive to operate. In addition, the compact and lightweight design make it a discreet companion in everyday life.
We offer a modular and customisable solution for a diabetes therapy management that is both flexible and expandable.
Smartphone-based therapy management is the future of diabetes treatment. It enables innovative digital therapy management for optimal clinical results and evidence-based treatment, while offering people with diabetes the discretion and flexibility they desire.
The mylife Loop solution consists of the mylife YpsoPump, the mylife CamAPS FX app, and a sensor for continuous glucose measurement (GCM). With mylife Loop, the user can choose between the Dexcom G6, the FreeStyle Libre 3 or the FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus. The algorithm of the mylife CamAPS FX app is intelligent and self-learning. It monitors and regulates glucose levels mostly automatically via the smartphone.

The mylife CamAPS FX app and a Dexcom G6 or Free-Style Libre 3/FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus sensor for continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) are required for automated insulin delivery with the mylife YpsoPump. The sensor sends glucose data to the mylife CamAPS FX app every five minutes (Dexcom G6) or every minute (FreeStyle Libre 3/FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus). Based on those readings, the app adjusts insulin delivery on the insulin pump every eight to twelve minutes to prevent low or high glucose levels.
The mylife CamAPS FX app is personalised and adaptive; it constantly learns and quickly adapts to the ever changing insulin needs of the user. The app is approved for people with type 1 diabetes aged one year and over, including pregnant women.

We are committed to acting responsibly towards our employees, our partners, and society.
As a company which thinks in a long-term and a responsible manner, sustainable action has always been one of our basic principles. We take this into account by making sustainability an integral part of our corporate strategy. We regularly review the focus of our integrated strategy and report on our objectives and performance in the key sustainability areas.
We take a holistic view of sustainability across all of our own business activities and units as well as along the value chain. For our reporting purposes, this means that we assign sustainability topics to the strategic pillars of our corporate strategy. As a result, we have been disclosing our strategy, the concepts pursued, measurable sustainability targets, our actions and their effectiveness, as well as our progress since the 2020/21 financial year. Here, we are guided by the principles of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations.

The materiality analysis was last conducted in the financial year 2023/24 and further developed to include the principle of double materiality. In keeping with the dual materiality approach, we report both on how sustainability issues affect our business (outside-in view) as well as on how our activities have an impact on society and the environment (inside-out view). We have implemented this process in four steps, working together with independent experts.
In the first step, a comprehensive analysis of sustainability frameworks, regulatory developments, our business model, our business relationships, industry expertise, and internal documents formed the basis for the identification of 24 potential relevant sustainability topics.
The existing and potential effects of our business activities on the identified 24 sustainability issues were assessed and prioritised by independent experts. These effects can be positive or negative and were assessed across our entire value chain. Whether Ypsomed can exert influence directly or indirectly was not taken into account. The materiality of the impacts was assessed in accordance with the GRI guidelines based on four categories: scale, scope, irremediability, and likelihood of occurrence.
To identify the opportunities and risks arising from the impact of sustainability issues on our own operating activities, we first collected qualitative and quantitative information as part of an in-house survey with 52 participants. The quantitative data were used to rank the topics. These were then analysed in depth in a comprehensive workshop with 19 internal experts from various areas of the company. A final ranking list was drawn up during an open discussion. Here, the risks as well as the opportunities arising from the impact of sustainability issues were considered to be relatively balanced for Ypsomed.
In the fourth step, the perspectives of our external stakeholders were collected in a survey. Based on 71 responses from customers, investors, suppliers, and representatives from politics as well as non-governmental organisations, the expectations with regard to Ypsomed in terms of sustainability issues were assessed. Most of the relevant topics from the outside perspective correlate with the relevant topics that we derived from the in-house materiality analysis. This encourages and confirms the results of our analysis. The external stakeholders assessed "water" and "pollution" as further relevant topics. However, as this assessment is based on the company's own sustainability goals these topics are considered to be of little relevance in the context of Ypsomed's activities, and we are therefore not adding these to our material topics.

In the corresponding sections, we describe the topics identified as being relevant for Ypsomed, the concepts pursued, the objectives we have defined, as well as the actions and control of the issues within our organisation.
Compared to the 2020 materiality analysis, innovative technologies and digitisation are no longer included in the list of key sustainability topics, primarily for methodological reasons. They continue to be important components of our integrated corporate strategy. The topics availability and affordability of healthcare as well as of patients' health and quality of life were summarised under the topic of access to healthcare. Long-term profitability is also no longer explicitly included in the list of topics. For Ypsomed, this remains an inherent prerequisite for the successful exploitation of opportunities and the minimisation of risks. The following issues, which were previously summarised under working conditions and employee satisfaction, are now listed as independent topics due to their importance: education and training, occupational health and safety, as well as equity, diversity and inclusion.
We apply an explicit management process to ensure the appropriate alignment of our sustainability strategy and its functional integration into our corporate strategy. We ensure that we have defined responsibilities, identified sustainability- and climate-related opportunities and risks, defined targets, and introduced actions for the key issues. We review implementation, effectiveness, and progress on an ongoing basis, whereby the topics are firmly embedded in our processes. In our sustainability report, we inform on our performance and explain how we promote sustainability throughout the company in line with our corporate strategy. As part of the integrated corporate strategy, the "Ambitions 2025/26" were formulated in the 2020/21 financial year and are disclosed in the individual chapters.
The Innovation & Sustainability Committee and the Audit & Risk Committee support the full Board of Directors in setting sustainability targets, in developing the strategy for adapting to climate change, and in assessing the environmental, community, and social impact of Ypsomed's business activities, in risk and compliance management, as well as reporting in the area of non-financial matters. Once a year, on the occasion of an ordinary meeting, the Board of Directors discusses the performance, actions, outlook, as well as the opportunities and risks in the area of sustainability, including climate issues. A central steering body for sustainability at Ypsomed is the Sustainability Executive Board, which consists of representatives of the Executive Board. This ensures implementation of the sustainability strategy and the integration of sustainability into the operational activities via the Sustainability Operations Board and topic-specific teams (Communities of Practice) at the operational level. The existing risk analysis process was expanded to include detailed climate-related opportunities and risks as part of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) reporting, in order to assess potential impacts and initiate measures (see "Our principles for sustainability reporting" in the "Notes to the sustainability report").

We distinguish ourselves by developing and industrialising innovative technologies. Our platform strategy enables us to provide customised pens and autoinjectors for clinical studies in a very short period of time and to even manufacture large quantities due to a scalable fully automated production. We set up the necessary production capacity in good time, thus ensuring that we can meet the required delivery volumes for our customers and users at all times. Due to our focus on proprietary products and crisis-proof supply chains, we can always reliably supply our customers with products.
10
platforms foster economies of scale and enable a fast customisation
"Platforms & Operational Excellence" stands for our platform approach as well as for the claim to continuously optimise our processes in order to further expand our cost leadership while continuing to maintain a high level of quality. As an experienced developer and manufacturer of injection and infusion systems, we offer our customers significant advantages in the development, project, and commercialisation phases: our proven platform strategy enables us to achieve short implementation times for customer projects. We enable pharmaceutical and biotech companies worldwide to make their drugs available in self-injection systems for clinical studies in a timely manner and thus bring them to market more quickly. The reason being, that we base the customerspecific requirements on production processes which have already been established, industrialised, and proven.
As an independent manufacturer, we are also able to serve smaller customer orders or start-up companies due to our flexibility in production. In this way, we make a significant contribution to the treatment of rare diseases with small patient numbers. We are continuously expanding our offering through strategic partnerships. In 2024, for example, we entered into a partnership with ten23 health, an expert in drug development as well as the filling and assembly of combination products, with which we aim to advance the commercialisation of the YpsoDose patch injector.
We continuously optimise our work processes and strive to further expand our cost leadership in this way. To achieve this, we operate according to the principles of lean management. This means that we continuously review all process steps to determine whether they add value and offer customer benefits. If this is not the case, we replace them with more efficient processes or eliminate them completely. Due to our high level of productivity and our reliable quality, we are able to further develop our workplaces in Switzerland and Germany. We create qualified jobs locally, and this makes us successful in the face of international competition.
In our growth strategy, we rely on our production capacities, which we are expanding continuously. In Switzerland, we are continuing to expand our capacities for our own injection systems at the Solothurn site. In Schwerin, we are continuously expanding our production capacities, particularly for autoinjectors. The new production hall D in Schwerin was officially inaugurated in autumn 2024. Construction of the new Schwerin 2 production plant began in January 2025. In China, we will be inaugurating another production plant in June of this year. Thanks to a modular master plan, we are well prepared for further, seamless expansion in the coming years.

1 The selection of KPIs was updated and shortened due to the revised materiality analysis in 2023/24. In line with established sustainability frameworks, "long-term profitability" is no longer an explicit sustainability topic for methodological reasons (see Section "Our Commitment").

Our growth strategy benefits both our company and society. This is because products for self-medication and services for improving the success of therapy optimise the therapies of people with chronic conditions and thus significantly relieve the burden on the healthcare system. Our products also facilitate treatment because they are easy and safe to use.
Quality of life and product quality
8.8 million
people use our solutions
"Access & Expansion" is our credo: we want to enable people to have access to selfmedication and medical care. The high quality of our products and their ease of use play a major role in ensuring that the application of our solutions brings both benefits and relief. Successful self-medication requires that our products are safe and reliable, easy and intuitive to use, and that erroneous manipulation is impossible. This is why we place great emphasis on design, haptics, ergonomics, and usability during development. In this process, we incorporate the insights we gain from focus group testing and interviews during both the concept and development phases.
Restrictions in the fulfilment of product safety can lead to reputational damage and liability due to far-reaching national and international regulatory requirements. Product quality and safe application are key for us in delivering our vision. For this reason, we have a comprehensive system of processes to continuously improve and ensure quality and safety.
Our management system complies with the worldwide regulations for medical devices according to US 21 CFR 820 and is certified according to ISO 13485:2016 (EU and Canada) and MDR (EU) 2017/745 and therefore also according to the Medical Device Single Audit Program (MDSAP). At Ypsomed, compliance with these regulations and standards not only means implementing a quality system, but also ensuring that qualityoriented thinking is a core component of our corporate philosophy.
Our quality system is reviewed systematically every year during numerous audits by customers and regulatory authorities. There were no product recalls in the financial year 2024/25.
We want to enable more people to access healthcare, and are pursuing this ambition through our growth strategy, which enables us to reach more people with our injection and infusion systems for safe and simple self-medication. The reason being that self-medication fundamentally facilitates and improves the possibilities of medical care. In the segment of Ypsomed Delivery Systems, our pharmaceutical customers distribute our products worldwide. We market our Diabetes Care products directly through subsidiaries and distributors in over 40 countries.
Excellent service and top quality are key competitive factors for us. Any impairment of the corresponding value proposition can lead to a loss of trust and therefore also of customers.
The formulation of innovative medicinal products for subcutaneous injection, instead of intravenous infusion, allows for self-treatment in more and more indications. And the use of generic versions of expensive originator drugs or so-called biosimilars makes therapy more cost-effective and thus accessible to a larger group of patients. In this way, we are helping to reduce discrimination against groups. We want to serve as many medical indications as possible in order to make life easier for those affected. This means that also society as a whole benefits from our growth strategy.

Data for reporting year 2024/25 audited by PwC Switzerland (see "Notes to the sustainability report").
The data include Ypsomed AG and its subsidiaries, namely Ypsomed AG in Switzerland, Ypsomed Produktion GmbH, Germany, and the global sales subsidiaries.

As a value-based company we feel committed to society. That is why we take responsibility for the environmental, social, and societal impact of our actions. We are committed to a long-term and sustainable development. And in doing so, we are open, fair, and respectful towards customers, partners and employees.
By "Responsibility & Engagement" we mean our social responsibility towards the environment, the promotion and development of employees, as well as the responsible behaviour as individuals and as a company.
An environment management system according to the ISO 14001 standard helps to continuously improve the environmental performance of an organisation and to cover the ecological dimension of sustainable corporate management. The environment management system of Ypsomed AG with its production sites in Switzerland and Ypsomed Produktion GmbH in Schwerin, Germany, were certified according to ISO 14001 in the financial year 2022/23. ISO 14001 forms the basis for a systematic focus on relevant environmental issues and defines globally applicable criteria for efficient and effective environmental management systems. In its comprehensive approach, the standard requires products and services to be considered over their entire life cycle and thus lays the foundation for viable circular solutions and an improved environmental performance. Ypsomed applies the systematics of ISO 14001 not only to environmental issues, but also to the management of relevant sustainability topics.
Both renewable and non-renewable resources are fundamentally limited. It is therefore important that resources are utilised efficiently. As a result, we anticipate an increase in the requirements and expectations of our customers and users, as well as the introduction of new regulatory measures or the tightening of existing ones. To protect the environment and conserve resources, we are guided by the principles of product stewardship and the circular economy. We take on product responsibility by minimising the undesirable effects of our products and services on health, safety, and the environment throughout the entire product life cycle. To this end, we continuously optimise our entire value chain – from development, procurement, and production to packaging, to use by users, as well as for disposal and recycling.
In doing so, we rely on the principle of the circular economy, by developing products which minimise waste and emissions, which use fully or partially recyclable and renewable raw materials, and which protect the climate. Furthermore, we make efficient use of the energy used. The highest premise remains the standard of medical technology and patient safety, which we ensure through outstanding product quality and a high level of user-friendliness.
Greenhouse gas emissions caused by humans, such as carbon dioxide or methane, lead to an increase in the natural "greenhouse effect" in the atmosphere. Climate change is one of the great global challenges of our time. Rapid and far-reaching emission reductions are important to halve emissions before 2030 and reach net-zero before 2050 according to the Paris Climate Agreement. As a socially responsible company, Ypsomed aims to make its contribution to reducing global warming. For this reason, we are committed to net-zero emissions along the entire value chain.
To combat the consequences of climate change, we follow the internationally recognised definition of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. This divides CO2 emissions into Scope 1 (direct emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels and production processes), Scope 2 (indirect emissions caused by purchased energy) and Scope 3 (all other indirect to other upstream and downstream indirect CO2 emissions).
Our own Scopes 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions amounted to 2 % of total emissions in 2024. Emissions from heat consumption are the most relevant here. We already obtain 100 % of our electricity from renewable energy sources. This means that 98 % of our emissions come from upstream and downstream Scope 3 emissions.

The data include Ypsomed AG and its subsidiaries, namely Ypsomed AG in Switzerland, Ypsomed Produktion GmbH, Germany, Ypsomed Software S.L.U., Spain, Ypsomed Manufacturing Co., Ltd, China, and the global sales subsidiaries. For detailed information, see table on page 39.

In our climate programme, we take into account scientific and established guidelines according to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). After signing the SBTi declaration of intent in May 2021, we defined specific short- and long-term CO2 reduction targets along the entire value chain in 2022. At the end of 2023, SBTi approved our shortterm climate targets until 2030 and our long-term net-zero targets for 2040.
Our climate targets according to SBTi
Starting from a base year 2020
Starting from a base year 2020
Starting from a base year 2020, to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across the entire value chain by 2040.
To achieve our ambitious climate targets, we must first and foremost substantially reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across the value chain, Scopes 1, 2 and 3. Nonetheless, we cannot avoid GHG emissions altogether and will continue to rely on offsetting a portion of our remaining emissions to achieve net-zero. Since 2021, we have been supporting a select number of high-quality, global climate protection projects. For example, projects supported to date include a reforestation project in Tanzania, as well as forest protection measures in Brazil and Kenya. In the 2024/25 financial year, we offset carbon credits amounting to around 13000 tonnes for the products manufactured in the NetZero Program and for the greenhouse gas emissions resulting from new buildings in 2024.
Our commitment to the net-zero target means that we must quickly and substantially reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by 2040. Only a substantial reduction makes us and our CO2 reduction targets credible and meets the requirements of our customers and stakeholders. To achieve this goal, we are counting on a comprehensive and collaborative climate programme – our NetZero Program. In combination with the SBTi targets, Ypsomed is pursuing an ambitious plan to reduce emissions by 2040 – a full ten years ahead of Switzerland's national 2050 target. The effectiveness of the actions taken by Ypsomed with regard to climate concerns is assessed on an ongoing basis.


The distinction awarded by the renowned Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) rating organisation is an endorsement of our ongoing commitment to climate protection. In 2024, we have improved from a C to a B rating. CDP assesses companies worldwide in terms of their transparency and actions to combat climate change. Our B rating acknowledges that we have already made significant progress while simultaneously continuing to work on reducing our carbon footprint and on sustainable solutions. The climate reporting in this financial year takes into account the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) for the first time, see "Report on climaterelated opportunities and risks in accordance with TCFD" (as of page 54).

Our carbon footprint confirms the materials we procure, such as plastic granulate and transport containers, are responsible for the major part of our CO2 footprint. We have therefore initiated the development of NetZero products and are driving the decarbonisation of individual product platforms forward.
Since 2023, the YpsoMate 1.0 and 2.25 autoinjectors have been commercially available in our NetZero Program as a result of using bioplastics and an optimised packaging concept with transport containers made from recycled PET. Last year, we already delivered the CO2-reduced autoinjector YpsoMate 1.0 to the first customers under the NetZero Program. A CO2-reduced version of our UnoPen platform is also expected to be available to our customers in the new financial year.
In parallel, our product innovation and development experts are working tirelessly on the next generation of products, which will be optimised according to Ecodesign. These upcoming product innovations will be crucial to achieving the high CO2 reductions mandated by the SBTi.
Our partners and suppliers, with whom we cooperate closely to implement our NetZero Program, also play a crucial role in this success.
By choosing more sustainable materials for our products, we can significantly reduce our footprint. We engage our suppliers, develop and empower them for our joint journey to net-zero.
We promote awareness, dialogue and the mutual exchange of experience on key reduction actions with all partners.
We initiate and maintain partnerships to promote global climate action.
An important emission category of our carbon footprint is investments in capital goods, such as injection moulding equipment and buildings (Scope 3.2). In terms of operational emissions (Scopes 1 and 2), our stated goal is to reduce emissions at our locations by 90 % by the year 2030. For example, the actions include:
We have been reducing the energy consumption and CO2 emissions of our plants and production sites continuously for years. To achieve this, we have committed ourselves to binding targets the federal government. The Energy Agency for Industry (EnAW) checks the implementation of the actions and their effectiveness. The heat pump installed in Solothurn makes a significant contribution here to saving energy. By utilising the waste heat from production, the proportion of renewable heat is over 80 %. In addition, we only purchase the latest generation of injection moulding machines, which consume an average of 36 % less energy than conventional injection moulding machines. Ypsomed AG's 2024 energy consumption data highlights the effectiveness of our efforts: while production measured in machine hours increased by 16 % compared to the previous year, electricity consumption only increased by 14 %. In addition, fossil heat consumption was reduced by 22 %. The reduced energy consumption helps to slightly mitigate the sharp rise in energy costs.
Besides reducing energy consumption, the promotion of renewable energies is a declared goal at Ypsomed. We have been sourcing our electricity from 100 % renewable energy since 2021. Furthermore, we are increasingly generating our own renewable electricity directly at our sites with the help of photovoltaic systems. In the 2024/25 financial year, large solar installations were put into operation at our sites in Schwerin, Solothurn and Burgdorf. This reduces the proportion of purchased renewable electricity and increases the level of self-sufficiency in renewable electricity. All plants together supplied approximately 1.2 GWh of renewable electricity in 2024. The remaining demand for renewable electricity is covered by guarantees of origin for renewable electricity.
We also focus on energy efficiency in the transport sector. We are constantly working on making our fleet of vehicles more environmentally friendly. This includes the purchase of electric cars as well as the use of a new software to analyse and optimise utilisation of the vehicle fleet. In the past financial year, Ypsomed used eight electric cars in its fleet. We provide our employees with charging stations at all our locations, with a total of around 30 charging ports. We promote environment-friendly bicycle transport with e-bike charging stations. There are currently already 35 charging stations installed and available for our employees in Switzerland, Germany, and China. Bicycles are available for our employees to use free of charge at all locations. We also promote the use of public transport with an eco-bonus for all employees in Switzerland as well as free all-season tickets for our apprentices. Due to our FlexWork initiative and the option of location-independent working, the number of commuter movements of our employees is reduced. By the same token, virtual meetings have become established for customer visits and further training over the last years.
In the current phase of high building activity by Ypsomed, particular attention is being paid to the issue of sustainable construction. Thus, the new production plants in China and Schwerin were planned according to the LEED standard. The LEED standard (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is an internationally recognised certification system for environmentally friendly construction, with sustainability criteria such as energy efficiency and more sustainable materials. The new production site in China, scheduled to open in June 2025, uses renewable energy from its own geothermal and solar plants on site. The new production hall in Schwerin also sets new standards in terms of energy and resource efficiency: the roofs of the production buildings at the Schwerin site are fully equipped with photovoltaic systems to cover as much of the energy demand as possible with solar energy. Furthermore, the installation of a wind turbine for the company's own electricity needs as well as the use of rainwater is planned. The use of waste heat from the production process and the intelligent linking of refrigeration and heat consumers make it possible to dispense entirely with fossil fuels for heating and hot water. In addition to energy efficiency during operation, attention is also paid to the reduction of CO2 emissions during construction of the building shell itself: lightweight steel trusses instead of a steel-concrete structure in the production hall and CO2-reduced recycled concrete for the new administration building significantly reduce the carbon footprint of the new building.

40 %
less CO2 emissions per transport container made of recycled PET
Regulatory requirements and our high demands on quality require extensive test runs, which inevitably generate rejects in our plants. We are continuously working to minimise waste and rejects and to steadily increase the proportion of recycled waste at our production sites. However, the current ramp-up of production capacities and the associated qualification runs are hampering these efforts. The recycling rate is currently 30 % and the target of 40 % is unlikely to be achieved in the near future. In the meantime, our production employees continue to be sensitised to the need to recycle waste materials in a targeted manner in order to increase our recycling rate.
We strive to apply the principles of circular economy to the operational waste we generate as well as to the life cycle of our products. The Ecodesign Guideline implemented since 2021 and continuously further developed, promotes environment-friendly product and packaging design at Ypsomed. In addition to product optimisation, our Ecodesign projects also include packaging. With the transport container for the YpsoMate platform made of recycled PET (rPET), the CO2 emissions per container are reduced by some 40 %, and resources are kept in the cycle. In 2024, several platforms have already been successfully switched to rPET. It is planned to switch all platforms to rPET over the next two years. In addition, a comprehensive evaluation of trays, pallets, and outer packaging was started in 2024 with the "Sustainable Packaging" project. Both alternative plastic materials as well as materials from renewable raw materials are taken into account with the aim of evaluating the variants in terms of manufacturing processes, costs, and carbon footprint. The identified favourites are now entering the test phase with our new YpsoMate 5.5 platform.
We aim to achieve further CO2 savings by reusing the transport packaging. To this purpose, a pilot project is ongoing in cooperation with selected customers and the Alliance to Zero. In addition, we are pursuing the vision and ambition of establishing a return and recycling system for our autoinjectors together with our customers and other partners. For example, a feasibility study was initiated in the past financial year to test the technical suitability of recycled material from our own plastic waste in test runs. The extensive tests will be continued in the coming year and should provide Ypsomed with valuable insights with regard to material characteristics and manufacturing processes in terms of a circular economy.
Together with our customers and other partners, we continue to pave the way for the circular economy and are accepting the exciting challenges in the areas of Ecodesign, recyclability, take-back, and recycling systems.

Data for the reporting year 2024 audited by PwC Switzerland (see "Notes to the sustainability report").
The data include Ypsomed AG in Switzerland and Ypsomed Produktion GmbH in Germany.
At Ypsomed, we have 2753 qualified employees, 1807 of them in Switzerland. This makes us one of the five largest employers in the medical technology sector in Switzerland. In a highly innovative, heavily regulated, and dynamic industry, employees play a key role in Ypsomed's success. We have a vested interest in ensuring that our employees are satisfied and can identify themselves with Ypsomed. The fact that we are successful in this is demonstrated by the large number of long-serving employees as well as various national awards. We make the job content and working conditions as attractive as possible for our employees. Cooperative human resources management based on personal empowerment, along with excellent prospects for development, are key factors for employee satisfaction that make Ypsomed stand out as an attractive employer.
Team spirit – our employees appreciate the open communication as well as the supportive and cooperative working relationship

Our employees are our most important asset and play a key role in shaping Ypsomed's success.
The integration and continuous training of employees is of crucial importance to Ypsomed, especially in a phase of strong growth. Only competent and motivated employees are capable of developing innovative solutions, increasing efficiency, and improving the quality of work. In a rapidly changing business world, the professional integration and continuous training of employees is not an advantage, but a necessity. For these reasons, Ypsomed supports lifelong learning with a diverse portfolio of training offers.
A well-structured onboarding programme is the first building block of consistent personnel development. Employee onboarding was developed further during the reporting year. Onboarding at Ypsomed consists of an online component as well as two face-to-face modules. On their first day of work, Ypsomed welcomes its new employees at a newly arranged Welcome Day. As part of the "Insight Ypsomed" programme, all new employees receive in-depth insights into the Ypsomed Group after a few months.
The Leading for Future (L4F) training programme offers managers the opportunity to receive further training in various subject areas and thus develop their leadership skills in line with requirements. It specifically strengthens managers as key individuals in shaping the future of Ypsomed on three levels: people, organisation, and culture. The L4F programme was also introduced at Ypsomed Produktion GmbH in Germany in the reporting year.
Ypsomed provides a comprehensive in-house training and education programme. This is published in the online learning platform library. The expansion of this learning platform, will progressively provide a wide range of learning opportunities. Employees can use the programme according to their own needs and in consultation with their manager.
Ypsomed supports its employees both financially and in terms of working hours with generous training provisions. Depending on the company's needs, this covers up to 75 % of the costs as well as the time, in special cases up to 100 %. This way, employees are significantly encouraged and supported in their further development.
Ypsomed promotes networking and intentionally organises cooperation across departmental boundaries by setting up interdisciplinary working and project groups. On the one hand, this broadens the personal horizon of knowledge and experience and, on the other, promotes career development of employees within Ypsomed.

The best possible quality of life also enhances our employees' health. Healthy and satisfied employees are one of our basic prerequisites. After all, this is the only way to achieve our goals. A lack of social security and fairness can have a negative impact on our attractiveness as an employer and on the motivation and loyalty of our employees.
Ypsomed is a solid, family-run company enjoying sustained growth. This offers current and future employees security. We foster open and informal interaction among each other and provide our employees with an environment that offers the best possible support. With flexible working models (work anytime, work anywhere), a healthy team spirit, and opportunities for organising tasks and careers, Ypsomed offers a motivating corporate culture.
We support the resilience of our employees in a dynamic growth environment. This includes courses on how to deal correctly with stress, offers for reconciling work and family life, as well as our flexible working models. Ypsomed enables flexible working through consistent cultural (corporate culture), structural (decentralisation of responsibility), infrastructural (modern workplaces), and technological (cloud technology) elements.
Ypsomed offers its employees occupational social counselling in cooperation with an external partner. This service enables employees and managers to obtain free counselling on personal issues from almost all areas of life as well as on company issues.
We go to great lengths to offer our employees a corporate culture that is as familyfriendly as possible. This includes flexible working hours featuring flexitime and annual working hours, part-time work, parental leave, and contributions to child care.
Remuneration of Ypsomed AG employees is regularly analysed both internally and externally and adjusted if necessary. This includes participating in remuneration benchmarks and reviewing equal pay between the genders.
The employee survey is conducted every two years as a matter of principle. The last survey in the 2023/24 financial year confirmed that Ypsomed was able to maintain its leading position in the benchmark comparison with its competitors. Although the criteria satisfaction, identification and loyalty showed a slight decline, this could be ascribed to the growth and reorganisation phase at the time. The next employee survey will be conducted in autumn 2025.
Ypsomed has once again been ranked as one of the best employers in Switzerland. This recognition strengthens our commitment to creating an inspiring and future-oriented working environment in which our employees feel comfortable and can develop. Flexible working models, attractive benefits, and a wide range of development opportunities all form an integral part of our corporate culture. The "Top Employers 2025" list honours companies that received particularly positive ratings in an independent online survey conducted by the "Handelszeitung" and "PME-Magazine". More than 1000 employees took part in the vote. Of more than 1500 companies with over 200 employees, the best 250 are among the winners. In the "Electronic and medical devices" industry, Ypsomed is ranked third this year.
Failure to observe the principles of equality harbours the risk of loss of trust among employees and customers, reputational damage, and even legal sanctions. The promotion of employee diversity as well as the inclusion of different groups of people (age, gender, nationality, etc.) are important cornerstones of our personnel policy. The proportion of women is currently approximately 34 %. Ypsomed AG currently boasts almost 50 different nationalities. We promote the exchange and expression of ideas in one's own language through the use of state-of-the-art tools. We employ staff in all age categories: ranging from apprentices to employees who work beyond the standard retirement age.
For many years now, Ypsomed has offered various employment models – from part-time and shift work to the option of pursuing a reduced load career at an advanced age or combining partial retirement with a part-time workload. In the reporting year, employees were employed equally across all age groups. When recruiting, we specifically consider profiles that promote diverse and mixed teams.
We promote young talent and are valued as a training company by apprentices and their parents alike. At Ypsomed, we train over 80 apprentices in twelve different professions. Many of these are new and aligned with state-ofthe-art technologies. On average, two out of three apprentices are offered a permanent position at Ypsomed after completing their training. We have set our sights on employing over 150 apprentices in 2027 worldwide.
That said, investment in the development of young talent is not merely limited to basic vocational training. The first development programme at university level for junior staff was launched in 2024. This programme is aimed specifically at university graduates and strengthens cooperation between Ypsomed and universities.
Ypsomed assures equal pay for all genders. This objective has now been achieved for several years. For example, the legally stipulated compliance with equal pay was formally checked and confirmed for the first time in 2021 at Ypsomed AG, Switzerland, by an external auditing company (PwC). Ypsomed is also the proud holder of the ADVANCED independent fair-pay label, which additionally confirms equal pay between the genders.
By applying Logib, the standard analysis tool for equal pay analyses in Switzerland, employers are able to check their remuneration practices themselves. As of 01 January 2024, the optional target value for equal pay analyses with Logib outside the context of public procurement was reduced from 5 % to 2.5 %. Therefore, in 2024, Ypsomed carried out a random wage equality analysis specifically for this purpose and found that the unexplained deviation in wages was even significantly below the federal government's reduced target value of 2.5 % as of 01 January 2024. In 2025, we will again conduct a complete equal pay analysis including external plausibility checks and audits.
For us, equal pay is a matter of course

Neglecting comprehensive occupational health and safety measures harbours direct risks for the life and health of our employees as well as liability risks for our company. Ypsomed offers optimal working conditions to protect the safety and health of its employees. All plants, buildings, and work processes are equipped with protection and safety concepts and are subject to strict inspection and control protocols. The organisation is prepared for emergencies, both operationally and organisationally. For example, an evacuation drill is held annually at each site. The resulting findings are integrated into the training courses. EHS training sessions on specific topics are held at regular intervals. In 2024, the focus was on familiarising new employees with the correct "lifting, pushing and carrying" techniques. Due to the sharp increase in the number of employees, more attention had to be paid to safety training in the workplace. To this purpose, the safety assistants are instructed to correct misbehaviour immediately and to make employees more aware of risks. In addition, training is provided for supervisors with regard to their responsibility in matters of occupational safety. Offers and information at work and for leisure promote health and well-being. We offer low-cost or free use of fitness centres and indoor swimming pools near our main sites and throughout Switzerland.

Integrity is a central component of our corporate success. It not only characterises our conduct towards customers, business partners, and shareholders, but also our cooperation within the company. Beyond the compliance with legal requirements, we actively promote our values – responsibility, honesty, and openness – throughout our entire company and along the entire supply chain. This commitment strengthens Ypsomed's ecological, social, and economic sustainability and enables us to respond flexibly to a dynamic environment while meeting the needs of our stakeholders. We take our responsibility to our customers, colleagues, shareholders, society, and the environment very seriously and stand by our actions.
Being a part of Corporate Governance, compliance contributes to responsible and transparent company management. With our instructions regarding the Compliance Management System (CMS), we set the framework for implementing the Code of Conduct and the organisational regulations. The objective is to ensure that Ypsomed and its employees conduct their business activities in accordance with applicable laws and internal guidelines. The directive defines the principles and responsibilities for the Compliance Management System within the Ypsomed Group and, in addition to the principles of good corporate governance, is based on the principles of proportionality, integrity, transparency, accountability, and sustainability.
The CMS forms a structured framework for assuring and promoting compliant behaviour in all compliance topics and aims to minimise compliance risks throughout the Group. It includes the core elements of promoting a compliance culture, compliance objectives and risks, the compliance programme, the compliance organisation, as well as communication, monitoring, and improvement. The CMS protects the company in accordance with the principles of "Prevent", "Detect" and "Respond".
Ypsomed's Code of Conduct and our corporate values form the basis for our business conduct. It serves as guideline for conducting our activities responsibly and in compliance with local and international laws. The Code of Conduct is regularly reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors and is binding for all employees of the Ypsomed Group. To ensure that our employees understand the Code of Conduct, it has been translated into 13 languages.
The Code of Conduct covers the major aspects of Ypsomed's operating activities, including compliance with laws and regulations. We are committed to conducting our business responsibly and in a socially and environmentally sustainable manner which promotes the wellbeing of our employees, customers, and society and which minimises a negative impact on the environment. We are committed to respecting human rights, promoting equal rights, equal opportunities, equal pay, and diversity in our companies. Mutual appreciation and respect are the basis of our dealings with each other. Our international orientation has increased cultural diversity in our company – a key success factor that we make targeted use of to shape our future with competent and qualified employees.
In the reporting year, the Code of Conduct was revised and approved by the Board of Directors. The aim of the update was to anchor the corporate values even more firmly and to promote our corporate culture in a targeted manner. All employees worldwide receive annual training on the principles of our Code of Conduct. The training participation rate was 99 % among the Ypsomed Group employees (see data basis on page 59). Training includes instructions on how to deal with the most relevant compliance issues, such as the interaction with healthcare professionals, conflicts of interest, anti-corruption, harassment, discrimination, and data protection. Furthermore, we provide information about our whistleblowing system and how potential violations can be reported. The aim is to further raise awareness of compliant behaviour.
We strictly address violations of the Code of Conduct, applicable law, and internal guidelines with appropriate corrective actions and sanctions against offending employees (see "Reporting procedure for violations", page 50).
Companies like Ypsomed with a global presence and an extensive network of business partners are exposed to the risks of corruption. Cases of corruption – whether within the company or along the supply chain – can have significant financial, legal, and reputational consequences. We condemn all forms of active and passive corruption and support combatting such practices in our dayto-day business. Our internal guidelines formulate clear expectations of our employees: donations must under no circumstances be used to influence decisions or behaviour in an improper manner. It is also not permissible to accept or be promised unjustified benefits.
Our employees receive appropriate training within the context of training on the Code of Conduct. When dealing with medical professionals and institutions, we strictly adhere to applicable laws and industry guidelines, including the "Swiss Medtech Code of Ethical Business Conduct".
To evaluate the effectiveness of our anti-corruption actions, we collect data on the number of training sessions conducted on the Code of Conduct as a key performance indicator.
With innovative, user-friendly and reliable products as well as state-of-the-art treatment concepts, Ypsomed wants to make a major contribution to successful therapy for patients and make self-treatment become self-evident.
The dialogue between Ypsomed and medical professionals as well as institutions plays a central role in the further development of medical technologies and innovative devices. This collaboration enables us to expand our expertise and promote high-quality patient care. We therefore support medical institutions with targeted training, instruction, and services.
Ypsomed is committed to ensuring that the independent decision-making of medical professionals is not jeopardised by such interactions. In accordance with Swiss Med-Tech's transparency guidelines, we disclose all educational grants and publish them annually on our website1
In line with our corporate values, the Code of Conduct and the Supplier Code of Conduct, we are committed to respecting human rights within Ypsomed as well as throughout the value creation chain. By doing so, we minimise significant risks that could arise from cases of discrimination, data protection violations, or inhumane working conditions in the supply chain.
When dealing with our business partners, we adhere to the principles of our Code of Conduct. We expect our business partners to comply with all applicable laws and also to assume their responsibilities towards employees, society, and the environment. This includes respecting human rights, taking into account the relevance of sales, and complying with other corporate due diligence requirements. This comprises refraining from any form of forced and compulsory labour, treating employees with respect, as well as providing fair remuneration in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
The Ypsomed Group is committed to a respectful and inclusive working environment. Any form of discrimination or harassment will not be tolerated. We do not tolerate any form of exclusion or unequal treatment based on gender, origin, language, religion, sexual identity, age, or other personal characteristics, as this contravenes our values and principles. Our policy on "Protection against Harassment & Discrimination" explains what is meant by discrimination and harassment and whom employees can turn to if they feel that their personal integrity has been violated or they have observed inappropriate behaviour.
We promote responsible behaviour not only within Ypsomed – integrity is also of crucial importance to us across the entire supply chain.
In terms of materials for our products, we consider suppliers who have a quality management system which enables them to demonstrate compliance with the law and our requirements. In addition, we require all our suppliers to live up to their social responsibility. In particular, we require that they respect internationally recognised human rights and treat their employees with dignity and respect. This includes rejecting child labour, refraining from any kind of forced or compulsory labour, and paying their employees fair remuneration.
In the reporting year, we implemented a new supplier management digital platform for Ypsomed AG. This enables a systematic and data-based risk assessment of our suppliers. The suppliers registered there are subject to an automated risk analysis. A targeted risk-based audit is also conducted, taking into account the issues of human rights, child labour, anti-corruption, and environmental protection. Furthermore, all available certificates and sustainability attestations are taken into account. Based on this in-depth analysis, targeted actions are taken to minimise potential risks and to ensure sustainable collaboration.
One of these actions is the requirement that suppliers act ethically and responsibly in accordance with our Supplier Code of Conduct, which was revised in the second half of the reporting year. Our Supplier Code of Conduct is based on the conventions of the International Labour Organisation (ILO), the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, as well as the principles of the UN Global Compact.
The revised Supplier Code of Conduct was sent to all product-relevant suppliers of Ypsomed AG in order to formalise the requirements for responsible and sustainable cooperation. By the end of the financial year 2024/25, 81 % of suppliers had accepted our new Supplier Code of Conduct. These represent 87 % of the procurement volume of Ypsomed AG. The roll-out of the Supplier Code of Conduct and the dialogue with suppliers on their ESG performance will be continued in the coming financial year.
Ypsomed has fulfilled its audit obligations with regard to due diligence and transparency regarding minerals and metals from conflict areas and child labour (in accordance with Art. 964j–l of the Swiss Code of Obligations (CO) and the corresponding DDTrO ordinance). On the basis of the conducted audit, there is no reasonable suspicion that Ypsomed suppliers provide products and services involving child labour as defined in Art. 2 (1) lit. f DDTrO.
The products manufactured by the Ypsomed Group contain small quantities of minerals and metals according to the list in Appendix 1 DDTrO. However, the quantities processed lie far below the threshold values in accordance with Appendix 1 DDTrO. Ypsomed is therefore exempt from the due diligence and reporting obligations for minerals and metals from conflict areas in accordance with Art. 964j CO.
In addition to this compliance and risk approach, suppliers are also evaluated in terms of their social and ecological performance. Last year, a specific questionnaire was developed and addressed to suppliers via the digital platform. This enables the targeted identification of potential for improving environmental and social standards in the supply chain as well as for deriving appropriate actions. The evaluation of suppliers' ecological and social performance will be further intensified in the coming financial year.
Data protection, information security, and cybersecurity As a globally operating company, we organise ourselves in such a manner that we comply with the applicable data protection laws and their requirements. Our data protection programme comprises a defined organisation across all companies, with a Data Protection Officer at the Group level and local data protection officers. The Data Protection Officer is responsible for the processes to ensure compliance with the data protection laws. Relevant employees receive training when they join the company and annually thereafter. These training courses cover the essential principles and requirements of the applicable data protection laws.
Our efforts and actions are analysed and assessed annually in a data protection report by an external service provider. The report prepared for this financial year confirms Ypsomed's good overall progress in the area of data protection.
We use electronic means of communication responsibly and conscientiously, and we protect our infrastructure against cyberattacks. In all processes where information and telecommunication technology is used, Ypsomed aims for a high level of integrity, availability, and confidentiality of business data and systems in keeping with the current state-of-the-art standards. We regularly have the effectiveness of the implemented technical actions checked by internal and external audits and adjust them wherever necessary. The IT services provided centrally from Switzerland for the Ypsomed Group have been ISO 27001 certified since April 2024. All information security activities are coordinated by the Corporate Information Security Officer at Group level.
Ypsomed employees have access to directives and internal guidelines regarding the secure use of information and communication media. The Information Security Policy describes the principles for ensuring IT and cybersecurity and sets out the responsibilities. This forms the basis for the ensuing processes.
All employees are regularly required to complete mandatory information security and cybersecurity online training. This training is supplemented by various specific training courses on topics such as phishing and social engineering.
99%
of the Ypsomed Group's employees have been trained regarding our Code of Conduct
We encourage our employees to report any observed potential violations of legal or internal company regulations. To this end, our Ypsomed Integrity Line whistleblowing system is available to them. Reports can be submitted on a confidential basis and also anonymously via the electronic online platform in a number of different languages. In addition, there is the option of reporting concerns directly to managers, the HR manager, or Compliance.
The internal directive on the Integrity Line as well as the new process created in the reporting year inform employees about the procedure for submitting a report and create transparency regarding the handling of reports as well as the process of an internal investigation.
The whistleblowing system is continuously being developed further and is available not only to employees, but also to customers, business partners, and other stakeholders to report misconduct within the Ypsomed Group as well as among our business partners.
In the 2024/25 financial year, the compliance department received a total of twelve reports. All received reports are checked and processed internally in accordance with a defined process and, if necessary, addressed with appropriate actions.

Our principles for sustainability reporting
The Ypsomed sustainability report is part of the Ypsomed Group's integrated annual report and provides our stakeholders with information about our approach to sustainability and our performance. The sustainability report provides information on how Ypsomed manages, organises, and implements key sustainability issues in practice and presents key performance indicators as well as the progress made towards important sustainability goals.
The sustainability report follows the Ypsomed financial year from 01 April to 31 March, with the exception of the environmental data in the "Responsibility & Engagement" section (see designated reporting period, e.g. "2024" instead of "2024/25").
This report was approved by the Board of Directors on 20 May 2025 and published on 21 May 2025. The sustainability report is subject to approval by the Annual General Meeting on 02 July 2025, whereby the approval covers the information required in accordance with Art. 964b of the Swiss Code of Obligations.
The Ypsomed Annual and sustainability report is prepared in accordance with the 2021 standards of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. The report is supplemented by further calculation guidelines for the sustainability performance indicators defined by Ypsomed.
This report takes into account the legal requirements of Art. 964a–c and 964j–l of the Swiss Code of Obligations (CO) and the related regulations. For the first time, the climate report takes into account the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). See "Report on climate-related opportunities and risks in accordance with TCFD" (as of page 54).
Further information can be found in our GRI Index (on the Ypsomed website under "Company", "Sustainability").
The sustainability report was prepared with due regard to the principle of double materiality in relation to the relevant topics and expectations of the various stakeholders.
In principle, Ypsomed's integrated and sustainable corporate strategy encompasses all companies in the Ypsomed Holding AG (Our Commitment pages 22–25; Corporate Governance: Group Structure page 115). The most relevant company for sustainability reporting is Ypsomed AG with its Swiss production sites in Burgdorf (also HQ) and Solothurn. The Ypsomed AG (Group) also includes the following foreign subsidiaries: Ypsomed Produktion GmbH in Schwerin (Germany), a new production site in operation since 2019 which is constantly being expanded, the new production plant in China, which is currently under construction and is scheduled to begin production in June 2025, as well as the foreign distribution companies of YDC. The scope applied in sustainability reporting is noted in the respective tables "Performance, KPI" of the annual report.
As part of the reporting process for the current financial year, Ypsomed also reviews the sustainability data reported in previous years. If these deviate by more than 5 % from the previously communicated values due to an improved database, changed calculation methods, or reorganisation measures, the corrections are adopted for the previous years and annotated accordingly. The adjustments ensure transparency, consistency and comparability between the reporting years.
Ypsomed's sustainability reporting was partially subject to an external audit with limited assurance by the external auditors PricewaterhouseCoopers AG, Bern (PwC Switzerland). The scope of the audit included selected sustainability information from the key sustainability areas of "Product Quality & Safety", "Environment", "Employees" and "Integrity" (see "Report of the independent auditor" pages 60–61). The key performance indicators verified by PwC Switzerland are marked with a in the report.
Ypsomed calculates and publishes its carbon footprint in CO2 equivalents (CO2eq) based on the GWP100 approach (Global Warming Potential over 100 years) to assess the climate impact of greenhouse gases. For this purpose, all greenhouse gases covered by the Kyoto Protocol across all material categories are taken into account in accordance with the requirements of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.
Reporting is done at the level of Ypsomed AG (Group), namely Ypsomed AG, Switzerland, Ypsomed Produktion GmbH, Germany, Ypsomed Manufacturing Co., Ltd, China, Ypsomed Software S.L.U., Spain, and the worldwide YDC distribution companies. The reporting period covers the calendar year January to December, due to data availability.
The direct emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels for our own facilities and vehicles as well as emissions from refrigerants (Scope 1) are recorded and reported. In addition, the indirect emissions from purchased electricity and heat (Scope 2) that can be attributed to the operation of production facilities and office buildings are disclosed. Furthermore, the indirect emissions of the upstream and downstream value chain (Scope 3), which are beyond Ypsomed's direct control and result mainly from purchased goods and services, capital goods, transport, and other categories, are disclosed. The detailed emission data at group level and the corresponding reduction measures formulated as part of the Ypsomed NetZero Program can be found on the previous pages.
Ypsomed continuously improves the data quality of its carbon footprint and regularly adjusts the emission factors as well as making retrospective corrections to ensure comparability and further improve data quality.
The most important methodological principles for calculating Ypsomed's carbon footprint are summarised in the following table.
| Scope and category according to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol1 |
Brief description of emissions and data collection methodology at Ypsomed | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Direct emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels or processes |
Emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels (in particular natural gas and fuels) for own processes and company vehicles as well as the loss of refrigerants from cooling systems at the production sites and distribution companies. The energy consumption data are based on the invoices of the production and distribution companies. |
||||
| 2 | Indirect emissions from purchased electricity, steam, heating, or cooling |
Emissions from purchased electricity. These emissions are zero for Ypsomed, as we use 100 % renewable energy (verified by certificates of origin for all sites). The data on electricity consumption are based on the invoices of the production sites. For distribution locations, the data on electricity consumption are based in part on assumptions and extrapolations (proportion of electricity consumption less than 1 %). |
| 3.1 | Purchased goods and services |
Goods and services for the manufacture of products, mainly plastic granulates, medical auxiliaries, and electronic products. The data on the ordered goods and services are categorised into different material groups. Emissions are calculated using either a weight-based or a monetary (spend-based) method. |
|---|---|---|
| 3.2 | Capital goods | Construction of manufacturing and office facilities and machinery acquisition. The data for the ordered capital goods are subdivided into different categories. Emissions are calculated using a monetary (spend-based) method. If life cycle assessment (LCA) data are available, these data are preferred. For the carbon footprint in 2024, this particularly applies to the construction of the new production site in Changzhou (China). |
| 3.3 | Fuel- and energy-related activities (not included in Scopes 1 and 2) |
Includes indirect greenhouse gas emissions resulting from upstream processes and grid losses associated with energy and fuel supply. |
| 3.4 | Upstream transportation and distribution |
Transport of the purchased goods. Emissions are determined using the distance-based method, with a distinction being made between air, sea and road transport. Deviating from the GHG Protocol, the calculation of upstream transport is based on the value chain methodology (inbound). Limited data availability with regard to the means of transport – especially for transport services carried out by third parties – leads to an increased data uncertainty in this category. |
| 3.5 | Waste generated in operations |
Waste from operational activities. The collection of waste data is based on invoices and the classification of specific disposal or recycling methods (incineration, recycling, etc.). |
| 3.6 | Business travel | Employee business travel and related overnight stays. The following means of transport are differentiated: air travel, public transport, car hire. Emissions are calculated using the monetary method. |
| 3.7 | Employee commuting |
The commuting distances of employees between their homes and workplaces, using a distance-based methodology. A share for working from home is taken into account. The following modes of transport are differentiated: car, train, bus, bicycle, pedestrian. |
| 3.9 | Downstream transportation and distribution |
Transportation of the sold products. Emissions are determined using the distance-based method, with a distinction being made between air, sea and road transport. Deviating from the GHG Protocol, the calculation of downstream transport is based on the value chain methodology (outbound). Limited data availability with regard to the means of transport – especially for transport services carried out by third parties – leads to an increased data uncertainty in this category. |
| 3.10 | Processing of sold products |
Further processing by end customers of Ypsomed. The data on the number of products sold are based on the sales volumes, while energy consumption is based on specific calculations by the Ypsomed production sites (per individual product sold). |
| 3.12 | End-of-life treatment of sold products |
Disposal of the product by the end consumer. Depending on the category, the data are calculated based on the quantities ordered, consumed or sold. The classification into incineration or landfill is determined by the European waste disposal mix. |

Report on climate-related opportunities and risks in accordance with TCFD
Reporting meets the current Swiss requirements according to Art. 964a–c of the Swiss Code of Obligations (CO) as well as the associated Ordinance on Climate Disclosures, which has been in force since 2024, and takes into account the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). The information on climate-related governance, the strategic actions to reduce emissions, the identification and management of climate-related risks, as well as the relevant key figures and targets, are integrated into the annual report in different sections. The aim is to establish sustainable business practices that recognise climate change as both a long-term challenge as well as an opportunity. The integration of climate-related actions into the corporate strategy contributes to ensuring long-term resilience while at the same time safeguarding Ypsomed's economic success.
Our sustainability strategy is firmly integrated into our corporate strategy through clear responsibilities, defined goals, and targeted actions. The governance structure comprises the Sustainability Executive Board, which steers operational implementation, as well as the Innovation & Sustainability Committee and the Audit & Risk Committee. These committees support the Board of Directors in setting sustainability targets and in assessing climate-related opportunities and risks. This applies to the governance of sustainability issues in general (see section "Our sustainability governance", page 24) and also specifically to climate-related governance.
Ypsomed began identifying climate-related opportunities and risks in 2022 as part of the development of the NetZero Program and the SBTi commitments (see "NetZero Program"). The analysis, which was continued and intensified in 2024/25, focused on a qualitative risk assessment of physical climate risks as well as the opportunities and risks of the transition to a low-emission economy. In particular, their potential impact on Ypsomed's business development and strategy was addressed. In the coming years, this analysis is to be gradually extended to the entire supply chain and the quantitative assessment, including potential financial impacts.
According to TCFD, a differentiation is made between transitional risks, physical risks – which can either be acute (extreme weather events) or chronic (long-term changes) – as well as climate-related opportunities. The climate-related opportunities and risks that are potentially relevant for Ypsomed are described in the following.
Ypsomed has undergone an externally conducted climate risk assessment with a scenario analysis for all its production sites. This provides a deeper understanding of the potential impacts of climate change on operations, suppliers, and logistics, and thus makes it possible to strengthen overall operational resilience. Various Shared Socioeconomic Pathway (SSP) scenarios from the AR6 (Sixth Assessment Report) report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) were used for the physical risk assessments. These scenarios link qualitative societal developments with quantitative climate data to simulate the physical consequences of climate change under both low-emission as well as high-emission development paths.
In the course of the analysis, various physical climate risks were assessed, their current relevance was examined, and future developments for 2030 and 2050 were forecast under the two mentioned SSP climate scenarios.
The analysis shows that Ypsomed's operating activities are potentially most affected by flooding, tropical storms, wildfires, and heat waves, as shown in the results explained in the following.
The analysis was prepared on the basis of the scientific climate models mentioned above. Their potential effects were analysed with regard to opportunities and risks, and actions were identified, which have already been implemented at Ypsomed.
In the context of company-wide enterprise risk management, it is apparent that the remaining risk can be categorised as low, particularly from a financial point of view.
| Potential impact | Most relevant risk types and Ypsomed locations |
Risks | Opportunities | Actions implemented at Ypsomed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Physical climate risks (acute) | ||||
| Extreme weather events could affect production sites and/or the supply chain |
Flooding: Switzerland, China Tropical storms: China Wildfires: Germany |
Negative impact on production Damage to property, infrastructure, and inventory |
Investments in resilient construction methods strengthen the company's resilience Optimisation of emergency and crisis plans increases operational flexibility and efficiency |
Early warning systems Protective precautions at buildings and sites Business continuity strategy Diversification of the supplier portfolio Insurance coverage |
| Physical climate risks (chronic) Extreme weather conditions could have a negative impact on the health and productivity of employees |
Heat waves: China | Increased adjustment costs (e.g. for cooling) Availability or reduced productivity of employees |
Investments in energy efficient buildings can reduce operating costs and the carbon footprint in the long term |
Building and site adaptation measures Flexible, location independent working models, where operationally feasible (see Ypsomed FlexWork Initiative) Business continuity strategy |
Transition risks, or climate-related transition risks, are risks that arise from the change to a low-emission economy. According to TCFD, a distinction is made here between the areas of technology, market price, regulations, and reputational risks.
On the other hand, climate-related opportunities arise from adapting to climate change or switching to sustainable business models, e.g. through energy-efficient technologies, new markets for climate-friendly products, or increased resource efficiency.
The gradual transition to a low-carbon economy is largely determined by political developments and processes over which the individual companies only have limited influence. The actions needed to reduce CO2 through sustainable products and responsibly designed supply chains in the face of advancing climate change requires us to adapt our processes at an early stage. We are therefore working closely with our customers and suppliers to identify more environment-friendly materials and to minimise our carbon footprint across the entire value chain.
As part of the Ypsomed 2024 materiality analysis, around 50 in-house experts from various departments within the company were interviewed in a survey, which was managed and evaluated externally, on potential challenges and opportunities associated with the transition to a low-emission economy. This methodology allows for a practical assessment of the relevant risks and supports strategic planning in line with the company's sustainability goals.
The following climate-related transition opportunities and risks were identified as being potentially relevant for Ypsomed, with their expected impacts in the medium to long term.
The actions already implemented, in particular as part of the NetZero Program, reduce potential impacts and reduce these to an acceptable residual risk.

The general risk management process at Ypsomed is described in detail in the sections "Risk assessment" (page 74) and "Corporate Governance – internal organisation" (pages 123–125). Complementing this, the specific process for identifying and managing climate-related risks in the context of the TCFD requirements is explained in the following.
In line with company-wide risk management and financial planning, Ypsomed differentiates between the following risk and opportunity horizons: short-term (1 to 3 years), medium-term (3 to 8 years), long-term (8 to 20 years).
The process for the risk management of climate-related risks is as follows:
Climate risks in risk management: climate risks can exacerbate existing risk categories such as operational risks, supply chain risks, and legal risks. Therefore, these climate risks and their impacts are integrated into the existing risk management system and the business continuity strategy.
Risk identification: the risk identification processes are described in the sections "Physical climate risks" (pages 54–55) and "Climate-related transition opportunities and risks" (page 56).
Risk analysis and assessment: the risk analysis assesses potential risks as well as their causes and impact on the company (business impact analysis). Internal and external actions that have already been implemented contribute significantly to minimising risk and are factored into the assessment. All implemented and realised actions are systematically documented in a register.
Risk management: if further action is required after a risk has been identified, analysed, and evaluated, the responsibility lies with the Executive Board, the management teams of the business areas or the business units. They examine suitable further actions to minimise both the probability of occurrence as well as the potential extent of damage.
Risk control: the implementation of these actions is monitored as part of the continuous risk management process and is incorporated into the annual risk assessment.
The defined climate targets, current progress in their implementation, as well as the relevant emissions data are presented in detail in section "Responsibility & Engagement" (cf. pages 32–39) and disclosed in accordance with the TCFD requirements.

Accounting principles for further sustainability indicators
The data basis for selected sustainability indicators defined by Ypsomed itself is explained in more detail in the following. This supplementary information is, among other things, intended for the limited assurance audit by PwC Switzerland (marked in the report with ).
The data collection on product recalls covers all Ypsomed AG products. A product recall is triggered if safety issues or product defects are identified that could endanger the consumer or expose the manufacturer or seller to the risk of legal action. In addition to actual product recalls, the survey also includes product withdrawals in accordance with MDR 2017/745 and 21 CFD part 820. The Ypsomed Quality Management System ensures compliance with quality regulations at the Ypsomed Group level. Internal reporting is conducted quarterly and presented in the sustainability report for the financial year (01 April to 31 March).
The collection of waste data includes Ypsomed AG in Switzerland as well as Ypsomed Produktion GmbH in Germany as of 2023. Here, the reporting period covers the calendar year (01 January to 31 December) instead of the financial year owing to data availability. The calculated key performance indicators are based on the data provided by the contracted disposal companies on waste quantities, waste categories, and disposal processes. The total amount of waste refers to the total amount of waste generated by the above-mentioned sites. The recycling rate is calculated based on the amount of materially recycled operational waste in comparison to the total amount of waste.
The employee survey is generally conducted every two years, with the last survey being held in 2023/24 and the next planned survey scheduled for 2025/26. The survey is conducted anonymously by an independent external partner and covers all employees of Ypsomed Holding AG (at the time of the last survey in 2023/24, excluding Ypsomed Manufacturing Co., Ltd, China), and excludes external or temporary employees.
In the questionnaire, employees rate the statements on a scale of 1 to 10 (1 = "Strongly disagree" to 10 = "Strongly agree"). The ratings are consolidated into a mean value for "Satisfaction" ("All in all, I am satisfied with my work situation"), "Identification" ("I have a strong sense of belonging to this company") and "Solidarity" ("I care about the future of this company").
The reported key performance indicators for occupational accidents are based on the reporting of the Swiss accident insurer SUVA for the previous calendar year (01 January to 31 December) and cover the Ypsomed AG locations in Switzerland. SUVA reports on occupational accidents with lost work time, whereby the number of lost days refers to the compensated days from the third day of absence (excluding an unpaid grace period). If an accident causes further days of absence in the following year, these days of absence are attributed to the year of the accident. Furthermore, it is possible to report accidents retrospectively, which may result in retrospective adjustments to the reported values.
The calculated key performance indicators show the respective proportion of employees who have completed training on the Ypsomed Code of Conduct and on information security. The data for the "Code of Conduct" and "Information Security" training courses include all employees of the Ypsomed Group, with the exception of those who are absent for a prolonged period, those who leave, as well as those who join during the financial year. Employees take part in the online training courses every year. The learning management system is used to analyse the participation rate. Automatic system notifications and regular reviews by managers ensure a high training rate.

on Selected Key Indicators 2024/2025 in the Sustainability Report 2024/2025 to the Management of Ypsomed Holding AG, Burgdorf
We have been engaged by Management to perform assurance procedures to provide limited assurance on the selected key indicators marked with symbol "V", in the Sustainability Report 2024/2025 in the Annual Report 2024/2025 of Ypsomed Holding AG and its consolidated subsidiaries ("Ypsomed") for the period from 1. April 2024
The selected key indicators marked with symbol " " in the Sustainability Report 2024/2025 were subject to our limited assurance engagement:
Other comparative figures from previous years and forwardlooking information were not subject of our assurance engagement.
The selected key indicators in the Sustainability Report 2024/2025 were prepared by Ypsomed's management based on The Greenhouse Gas Protocol, A Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard (Revised Edition) and Ypsomed reporting criteria on pages 52, 53 and 59 and its specific application (hereinafter "suitable criteria"), as described in the section "Our principles for sustainability reporting" on page 51 of the Sustainability Report 2024/2025.
The accuracy and completeness of the data and information in the Sustainability Report 2024/2025 are inherently subject to limitations resulting from the way the data is collected, calculated and estimated. Furthermore, the quantification of this data and information in the Sustainability Report 2024/2025 is subject to inherent uncertainty due to incomplete scientific knowledge used to determine factors related to the determination and calculation of environmental information and the values required for the combination
Our assurance report should therefore be read in conjunction with the criteria presented by Ypsomed Holding AG
The Management of Ypsomed Holding AG is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the information in the Sustainability Report 2024/2025 in the Annual Report 2024/2025 in accordance with appropriate criteria. This responsibility includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and presentation of information in the Sustainability Report 2024/2025 that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Furthermore, management is responsible for selecting and applying the section "Our principles for sustainability reporting" and the appropriate record keep-
We are independent from Ypsomed Holding AG in accordance with the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including the International Independence Standards) issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA Code). These requirements establish fundamental principles of professional conduct regarding integrity, objectivity, professional competence, due care, confidentiality, and professional conduct
PricewaterhouseCoopers AG applies International Standard on Quality Management 1 which requires the firm to design, implement and operate a system of quality management including policies or procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards, and applicable legal and regulatory requirements
Our responsibility is to perform an assurance limited engagement and to express a conclusion on the selected key indicators marked with symbol "V" in the Sustainability report 2024/2025. We conducted our engagement in accordance with the International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000 (Revised) 'Assurance engagements other than audits or reviews of historical financial information' and the International Standard on Assurance Engagements 3410, Assurance Engagements on Greenhouse Gas Statements ('ISAE 3410'), issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board. Those standards require that we plan and perform our procedures to obtain limited assurance whether anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the selected key indicators marked with symbol " of " in the Sustainability Report 2024/2025 were not prepared, in all material aspects, in accordance with the suitable Criteria
Taking risk and materiality considerations into account, we performed audit procedures to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence. The selection of audit procedures depends on the independent auditor's professional judgment. In a

limited assurance engagement, the audit procedures performed are less extensive than in a reasonable assurance engagement, and therefore less assurance is obtained.
Our limited assurance procedures included, but were not limited to the following work:
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our conclusions
Based on the work we performed, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that selected key indicators marked with symbol "" in the Sustainability Report 2024/2025 in the Annual Report 2024/2025 of Ypsomed Holding AG for the period from 1. April 2024 to 31. March 2025 have not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the appropriate criteria
The other information includes all information in the Sustainability Report 2024/2025, with the exception of the selected key indicators marked with the symbol "V" in the Sustainability Report 2024/2025 in the Annual Report 2024/2025 and our assurance report. Management is responsible for the other information. This other information was not considered in our assurance procedures; therefore, we do not express an opinion on it.
This report is intended solely for the management of Ypsomed Holding AG and has been prepared solely to inform them about the selected key indicators marked with the symbol " "in the Sustainability report 2024/2025 in the Annual Report 2024/2025, and for no other purpose. By expressing our conclusion, we accept and assume no responsibility (legal or otherwise) or liability for the use of our report, including the conclusion, for any other purpose or towards any other person to whom our report is presented or into whose hands it may come, and no other person may rely on our conclusion.
We permit distribution of our report only in its entirety and together with the complete Sustainability Report 2024/2025, so that management can demonstrate that it has fulfilled its responsibility to commission an independent assurance report on the selected key figures marked with the symbol " imply any responsibility or liability to any other party.

'The maintenance and integrity of Ypsomed Holding AG's website and its content are the responsibility of the Management; the work carried out by us as the assurance practitioner does not involve consideration of the maintenance and integrity of the Ypsomed Holding AG's website, accordingly, we accept no responsibility for any changes that may have occurred to the reported selected key indicators in the Sustainability Report 2024/2025 in the Annual Report or Criteria since they were initially presented on the website.



The operating result (EBIT) amounted to CHF 112.9 million and the net profit to CHF 87.5 million.
In the financial year 2024/25, we generated consolidated sales of CHF 748.9 million (previous year: CHF 548.5 million). With the sale agreement on 21 April 2025 and the exit from the insulin pump business, contract development for the patch pump will also be terminated. The entire Ypsomed Diabetes Care segment will therefore be recognised as a discontinued operation. It was also decided to classify the Ypsotec division (reported under "Other" in the segment reporting) as a discontinued operation. Reported sales and reported EBIT therefore include significant effects from discontinued operations that are no longer part of Ypsomed's core business. Adjusted for third-party sales in the Diabetes Care business (mylife YpsoPump, blood glucose monitoring devices, pen needles, patch pump development activities and associated activities CHF 236.9 million) and the Ypsotec business unit (CHF 10.9 million), which is also being discontinued, third-party sales from continuing operations amount to CHF 501.1 million (previous year: CHF 385.2 million). This corresponds to growth of around 30 % in the continuing operations.
The Ypsomed Delivery Systems segment grew by 30.4 % or CHF 117.1 million in the 2024/25 financial year. Segment sales for the reporting period amount to CHF 502.3 million (previous year: CHF 385.2 million).
In the Ypsomed Diabetes Care segment, sales of CHF 236.9 million (previous year: CHF 151.0 million) were recorded in the 2024/25 financial year. Of this, CHF 28.3 million in sales (previous year: CHF 39.4 million) was attributable to the pen needles and blood glucose monitoring devices business, which was sold at the end of July 2024. The insulin pump business (mylife YpsoPump) achieved commercial sales of CHF 175.3 million (previous year: CHF 97.0 million) and thus a growth of 80.8 %. This segment also includes the contract development for the patch pump. With the execution of the sale agreement of the Ypsomed Diabetes Care business segment dated 21 April 2025, the patch pump development activities will also be discontinued. The entire segment is therefore to be regarded as a discontinued operation. The following elements have driven the sales growth of the mylife YpsoPump:
Reported EBIT amounts to CHF 112.9 million (previous year: CHF 86.2 million). The following key elements are attributable to discontinued operations and are therefore not part of the profitability of the continuing core business:
The operating result (EBIT) from continued operations (injection business) thus amounted to CHF 167.0 million. This corresponds to an EBIT margin of 33.3 % and a ROCE (return on capital employed) of approximately 20 %. The return on capital employed in the core business is significantly higher than the cost of capital. The injection business therefore generated significant shareholder value in the 2024/25 financial year. Increased sales and higher production capacity utilisation were the drivers of the good result for pens and autoinjectors.
Equity amounted to CHF 679.7 million as at 31 March 2025 (previous year: CHF 617.7 million), which corresponds to an equity ratio of 51.1% (previous year: 56.5 %). Net financial liabilities totalled CHF 330.5 million (previous year: CHF 182.0 million). This increase is mainly due to growth investments. Net debt in relation to EBITDA (from continued operations) of the last 12 months remains at a low level (1.4x). In addition, Ypsomed expects a cash inflow of around CHF 300 million from the sale of Ypsomed Diabetes Care business in the second half of 2025. Ypsomed therefore has a very solid balance sheet and is well positioned to finance the upcoming organic growth in its capital-intensive core business from its own resources.
At CHF –267.3 million, cash flow from investing activities was significantly higher than in the previous year (previous year: CHF –195.1 million) due to growth investments. Of this amount, CHF –205.6 million (previous year: CHF –116.4 million) was invested in property, plant and equipment, in particular in the further expansion of capacities for autoinjectors and pens at the Swiss sites, in Schwerin (Germany) and in Changzhou (China). Investments in intangible assets amounting to CHF –71.5 million (previous year: CHF –78.9 million) were made in the further development of platforms for pen and autoinjector systems, the further development of the YpsoPump and in digital services in the area of digital health.
In July 2024, we were able to distribute CHF 27.3 million (previous year: CHF 17.7 million) in dividends to our shareholders in line with our consistent dividend policy. Half of the dividend was paid from balance sheet profits and half from tax-privileged capital contribution reserves. The Board of Directors will propose to the Annual General Meeting that CHF 2.20 per share (previous year: CHF 2.00) be distributed in dividends for the financial year 2024/25, half of which from capital contribution reserves and the other half from balance sheet profits.
The Annual General Meeting of Ypsomed Holding AG will take place on 02 July 2025 in Burgdorf.

1 The cumulative currency translation differences and goodwill are derecognised from equity and form part of the gain or loss on disposal, which is reported in other operating expenses.

Ypsomed Holding AG is a limited company (Aktiengesellschaft) established on 29 December 2003 under Swiss law with registered offices in Burgdorf (canton of Bern, Switzerland).
Operating in the field of medical technology, the Ypsomed Group is a leading independent manufacturer of injection pens for pharmaceutical and biotech companies, and of products for people with diabetes, such as insulin pumps. Ypsomed's core manufacturing business consists of developing and marketing products and services allowing patients to administer their own medication. The group operates production sites in Burgdorf, Solothurn, Grenchen (all CH), Tábor (CZ), Schwerin (DE, in expansion) and Changzhou (CN, under construction), and has a global sales and distribution network. The shares of Ypsomed Holding AG have been traded on SIX Swiss Exchange since 2004.
The consolidated financial statements were approved for issue by the Board of Directors on 20 May 2025 and recommended for acceptance to the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders in Burgdorf on 02 July 2025.
Until now, all research and development expenses were reported in the cost of goods and services sold. However, these costs include both customer-specific and noncustomer-specific costs. Non-customer-specific costs do not qualify as acquisition or production costs of the goods and services sold. For this reason, the Ypsomed Group has decided to report non-customer-specific costs below gross profit. This adjustment was made retrospectively as of 01 April 2023.
The Ypsomed Group decided in the 2022/23 financial year to adopt the new accounting standard Swiss GAAP FER 28 (Government Grants) early. At that time, a gross presentation of government grants in the balance sheet seemed appropriate. However, from today's perspective, a net presentation appears more suitable and easier to understand for readers of the financial statements. Additionally, an increase in government grants is expected in the future, meaning that a gross presentation would have a dilutive effect on selected key figures. For these reasons, the Ypsomed Group has decided to adjust its accounting policies regarding government grants accordingly and transition to a net presentation. This adjustment is applied retrospectively as of 01 April 2023.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Swiss accounting and reporting recommendations of Swiss GAAP FER according to the principle of "true and fair view". They are based on the financial statements of the company prepared for the same reporting period using consistent accounting policies. The group's reporting currency is the Swiss Franc (CHF). The period under review comprises twelve months and ends 31 March.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are published in German and English. The German version is legally binding.
All figures included in these financial statements and notes to the financial statements are rounded to CHF 1 000 except where otherwise indicated.
Subsidiaries: Subsidiaries are all entities over which the group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or tradable can also determine whether the group controls another entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is obtained. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.
Subsidiaries are recognised using the purchase method. The consideration encompasses the compensation transferred in exchange for obtaining control over the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the company acquired. The compensation encompasses cash payments as well as the fair market value of both the transferred assets, the incurred or assumed liabilities and, in addition, the equity instruments as of the trade date that have been issued by the group. The net assets acquired, comprising of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities, are recognised at their fair value. Goodwill is recognised as of the acquisition date and is measured as the excess of the consideration transferred above the fair value of the identified net assets. If the group does not acquire 100% of the shares of a company, the minority interest in equity is to be disclosed separately under equity.
Transactions, balances and gains on transactions between subsidiaries are eliminated. Losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset.
In the event of a company being sold, the goodwill previously recorded under equity will be recycled and recorded in the income statement as part of the proceeds from the disposal.
Associates: Associated companies are those companies that are significantly influenced but not controlled by the group. This normally applies to investments in which the group owns between 20% and 50%. Investments in affiliated companies are accounted for using the equity method. The group's investment in associates includes goodwill identified on acquisition. Currently, Ypsomed does not have any investments in associated companies.
Foreign currency transactions are translated to the functional currency using the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised as financial income or expenses (individual financial statements).
In the consolidated financial statement, assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are converted into Swiss Francs at year-end exchange rates. Equity is converted with historical exchange rates. The income statement and the statement of cash flows are translated at annual average exchange rates. The effects of this conversion as well as foreign exchange gains and losses arising from the translation of equity like loans are to be recognised in the equity, with no effect on the income statement. In the sale of a foreign subsidiary, the previously recognised cumulative translation differences in equity are recycled and recorded in the income statement as part of the proceeds from the disposal.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise of cash on hand, demand deposits and time deposits with a residual term to maturity from the balance sheet date of 90 days at the most. This is the basis of the consolidated statement of cash flows.
Trade receivables, other receivables as well as long-term receivables are valued at the nominal amount less impairment, if any. An allowance is created if objective indications show that receivables cannot be collected. Allowances are based on individual valuations.
Raw materials and merchandise purchased are recognised at cost, semi-finished and finished goods at their production cost. Manufacturing costs include the associated direct production costs and production overheads. If the acquisition or manufacturing costs are higher than the net market value, an impairment loss is recorded in the income statement in the current period to write off the inventories to the net market value (lower of cost or market principle). Net market value is equivalent to the current market price less the usual sales deductions, marketing costs and administrative costs yet to be incurred. Inventories that cannot be sold are written off in full. The costs of inventories are determined by using the FIFO method.
Ypsomed receives prepayments from pharma partners in order to acquire production machinery for these pharma partners. Ypsomed coordinates the manufacturing of the machinery with suppliers and makes contractual advance payments to the suppliers. After installation and successful test runs, the machinery is accepted by Ypsomed. From a legal and commercial viewpoint, once the machinery has been accepted by Ypsomed, the ownership is transferred to the pharma partners. The advance and final payments made by Ypsomed to suppliers are disclosed in the consolidated balance sheet as current assets until acceptance of the machinery. The prepayments from customers are recognised in current liabilities. Once the machinery is accepted, the advance and final payments from Ypsomed are settled with the prepayments.
Fixed assets are recognised at historical acquisition or manufacturing cost, with depreciation calculated using the straight-line method based on the following estimated useful lives:
| Land | no depreciation |
|---|---|
| New buildings | 30 to 40 years |
| Special buildings | 20 to 30 years |
| High voltage current, sanitary, lifts | 20 years |
| Heating/ventilation/ | |
| air-conditioning, floors | 10 to 15 years |
| Production machinery | 8 to 12 years |
| Measuring and inspection equipment | 3 to 8 years |
| Software and hardware | 3 to 5 years |
| Furniture, vehicles | 5 to 8 years |
Depreciation is included in the following income statement categories: manufacturing costs of goods sold, marketing and distribution costs, administration costs and other operating expenses. Should an asset be impaired as a result of impairment testing, the corresponding impairment charge is included in depreciation and reported separately as an impairment loss. Value-enhancing expenditures are capitalised if the market value or the value in use increases as a result. Long-term leasing contracts, which are, in substance, equivalent to the purchase of assets with long-term financing (financial lease), are recognised at the beginning of the lease as an asset and measured at net market value/acquisition cost or, if lower, at the present cost of the leasing payments. The asset is depreciated in line with its useful economic life. Investment properties are reported at cost of acquirement minus depreciation. The period of depreciation is calculated according to the category of asset.
Goodwill: Net assets taken over in an acquisition are to be valued at actual values and any surplus of acquisition cost over the revalued net assets is to be designated as goodwill (purchase price allocation). The goodwill is offset against equity, whereas negative goodwill (badwill) increases equity at the date of acquisition. The effects of a theoretical capitalisation are to be disclosed in the notes, please refer to note 12.
Development costs: Development costs are capitalised if an intangible asset can be identified, finished, marketed or used internally, if it is controlled by the Ypsomed Group, if it is expected to provide the Ypsomed Group with an economic benefit over several years and if its costs can be reliably determined.
Capitalised development costs are amortised straightline over their useful economic life after the beginning of commercialisation. The amortisation is included in the manufacturing costs of products and services sold. Costs accrued for development projects are tested for impairment on an annual basis.
tion: Intangible assets, such as brand names or customer relationships that were acquired through a business combination and can be identified separately, are reported if they fulfil the definition of an intangible asset. The acquisition costs of such intangible assets correspond to their fair value at the time of acquisition. The value thereafter is measured at acquisition cost minus accumulated amortisation and impairment. Amortisation is included in marketing and marketing and sales costs.
Software: is capitalised on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire the software and bring the software to use. These costs are amortised over the estimated useful life. Amortisation is mainly included in marketing&sales and administration expenses.
Other intangible assets: Patents are valued at acquisition cost and amortised over their estimated useful lives. Amortisation is included in the costs of research and development that are integrated in the manufacturing costs of products and services sold.
Intangible assets are amortised using the straight-line method based on following estimated useful lives:
Government grants are offset against the respective subsidised assets and reduce depreciation/amortisation over their useful lives accordingly. The inflow of asset-related grants is recognised in the cash flow statement under cash flow from investing activities.
Government grants are only recognized when there is reasonable assurance that Ypsomed complies with the attached conditions and that the value can reliably be estimated.
In the case of leasing transactions, a distinction is made between financial lease and operational lease. Financial lease exists when substantially all risks and rewards incidental to the ownership of an asset are transferred. Assets and liabilities from financial lease are shown in the balance sheet. Leasing liabilities from operational lease that cannot be terminated within one year are shown in note 25 to the consolidated financial statement.
Financial assets are recognised at acquisition cost less impairment, if any. Impairment is recorded in profit or loss for the current period.
All assets are reviewed as of each balance sheet date for indications of impairment. If there are indications that an asset may be impaired, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined and the impairment loss is estimated. Should the estimated recoverable amount of the asset, which is equivalent to the higher of net market value and the value in use of the asset, be lower than the asset's book value, an adjustment is made to the income statement to reduce the book value of the asset to the estimated recoverable amount in the same period in which the impairment was discovered. Net market value is the price obtainable between independent third parties less the associated selling expenses. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset, including any possible cash flow at the end of the useful life, discounted using an appropriate long-term interest rate.
Financial liabilities are measured at their nominal amount.
Pharmaceutical partners reserve production capacities for the pen and autoinjector platforms by means of contractually agreed advance payments. These are accrued on an accrual basis. The terms of the contracts are between three and ten years. Sales are recognised over this period. The current portion of CHF 10.1 million (previous year: CHF 7.6 million; sales within twelve months after the balance sheet date) is presented under "Accrued expenses and deferred income", the non-current portion of CHF 43.9 million (previous year: CHF 24.3 million) under "Other long-term liabilities".
Provisions are established when a legal or de facto obligation arising from previous events exists that will likely result in a cash outflow and this cash outflow can be reliably estimated. The provisions established represent the best possible estimate of the final obligation. Longterm provisions are discounted to their present values, provided that the impact is material. The split into shortterm and long-term provisions is based on whether utilisation is assumed to be probable within one year or at a later time.
Possible obligations requiring confirmation by future events or obligations whose amount cannot be reliably estimated are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements as contingent liabilities.
There is a long-term incentive plan (LTIP) for the Board of Directors, the Executive Management and other managers. Plan participants receive a defined number of performance share units (PSUs) at the beginning of a vesting period of three years. The fair value of the PSUs at the time the LTIP is issued is measured by an external company that is specialised in the valuation of option and share plans. The following procedures are used for the subsequent measurement of the two performance conditions:
"Total Shareholder Return": this is a so-called "market condition". By applying the Monte Carlo valuation to the fair value measurement at the time of issuance, the future development is already included in the fair value calculation at the grant date. No reassessment is therefore required during the vesting period. The expense is generally recognised on a straight-line basis, provided there have been no changes in the participants of the plan.
"Cumulative absolute EBIT in CHF": this is a non-market condition. During the vesting period, a reassessment of EBIT target achievement is required on each balance sheet date. The pro rata expense is calculated and recognised accordingly.
A corresponding reserve for the LTIP is accumulated in the capital reserves (equity). If a plan participant terminates her/his employment during the vesting period, the entitlement expires, and the previously recognised reserve is released to the income statement. Under certain circumstances (e.g. retirement, death etc.), early vesting may occur. In this case, the corresponding expense is recognised immediately. In the event of changes to the exercise or participation conditions, the necessary adjustments are evaluated and accordingly recognised. At the end of the three-year vesting period, the plan participants receive the corresponding number of shares for each PSU granted. The number of shares allocated depends on the performance factor, which in turn is based on the two performance conditions mentioned above (each weighted at 50 %).
The pension benefit obligations of the group companies in respect of old age, death and disability comply with the statutory provisions and regulations in the respective countries. The employees of the Swiss companies have a legally independent pension fund for retirement, death and disability. The pension funds are financed by employer and employee contributions (defined contribution plan). The actual economic impact of pension plans on the company is calculated as of the balance sheet date. An economic benefit is capitalised, provided it will be available to reduce the company's future pension expenses. An economic obligation is recognised as a liability if the conditions for establishing a provision are met. Any unconditionally available employer contribution reserves are recognised as assets. The economic impacts of surpluses or deficits in the pension funds on the group as well as a change in any employer contribution reserves are recognised as profit or loss and reported as personnel expenses in addition to the contributions deferred to the reporting period.
Income taxes are calculated based on reported profits and in conformity with the tax laws prevailing in the individual countries and recognised in profit or loss of the current period.
Deferred taxes are taken into account on temporary differences between tax bases and the carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements and are calculated using the liability method based on effective or expected local tax rates. Deferred tax assets are recognised for loss carry-forwards where it is highly probable that they can be offset against future taxable income. The changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised in the consolidated income statement. Taxes on transactions that are reported in equity are also recognised in equity.
Net sales: Sales consist of all sales proceeds attained from the delivery of goods and the provision of services to third parties after deducting discounts, rebates, cash discounts and value-added taxes. Sales proceeds are generally recorded in the income statement as soon as the delivery of the goods has taken place and benefit and risk have been transferred to the buyer or the service has been rendered. Net sales also comprise of income from the provision of research, development, industrialisation and marketing services.
Other operating income: Other operating income primarily includes rental income arising from the leasing of properties owned by the Ypsomed Group and proceeds from the disposal of fixed and intangible assets as well as investments.
Long-term contracts: Development and industrialisation projects are accounted for according to the percentageof-completion method (POCM) if the respective criteria are met. Services and costs are correspondingly considered according to the degree of completion (cost-to-cost method) so that any profit is taken into consideration proportionally. The degree of completion for the services provided is calculated by determining the difference between the costs incurred and the costs expected for the whole order. If the criteria for the application of POCM are not met, the respective revenue is disclosed according to the amount of the realisable cost (without recognising any profit). However, respective losses and nonrecoverable costs are debited directly and reduces the profit of the financial year. The long-term contracted projects according to POCM are disclosed within the reporting lines inventories, trade receivables and prepayments from customers.
Research and development costs with a specific reference to a customer order are routinely included in the manufacturing costs of the products and services sold.
Research and development costs are capitalised if an intangible asset can be identified, finished, marketed or used internally, if it is controlled by the Ypsomed Group, if it is expected to provide the Ypsomed Group with an economic benefit over several years and if the costs can be reliably determined.
Non-customer-specific research and development, such as costs for innovation projects, are reported in the separate item "research and development costs".
Borrowing costs are charged directly to the income statement.
Derivative financial instruments are entered into for hedging purposes and carried at market value. The adjustment of the changes in market value is recorded in the same way as for the underlying transaction.
The management of the Ypsomed Group carries out a comprehensive risk assessment at least once a year. This standardised process is based on a risk inventory that encompasses the relevant risk categories such as strategic risks, management risks, general risks in the operating business, legal risks, systemic risks, financial risks (including market, credit and liquidity risks) and event risks (including political, regulatory, fiscal, climate-related and and external risks). The fundamental risks are assessed with regard to probability of occurrence and impact and both management and the Board of Directors decide on measures to be taken and monitor their implementation according to predetermined criteria.
The Ypsomed Group develops innovative platform technologies, produces customer-friendly medical devices, sells and supplies these to various customers in numerous countries and protects the technologies developed by Ypsomed in several countries. Ypsomed's business activities are exposed to numerous legal risks that could have a negative effect on the course of business, the financial situation or the competitiveness of the group.
Competitive pressure in the pharmaceutical sector has increased significantly with the emergence of new drug forms (generics, biosimilars), the medical device sector in general and infusion and injection systems in particular have also been affected. Regular legal disputes regarding the validity and alleged or actual infringement of intellectual property rights by drugs or medical devices, tightening of the regulatory environment, uncertainties and delays in the approval of new drugs and medical devices, cost-saving measures in the health sector, in particular reimbursements from health insurance funds, as well as risks in connection with product liability and data liability cohesive with infringement of individual-related data inclusive health data are risks to which Ypsomed is also exposed, in particular with its platform technology products. Furthermore, possible terminations of existing contracts of important suppliers or important customers and disputes in the context of the settlement of contractual relationships could impair Ypsomed's business development.
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles assumes that management makes certain estimates and assumptions which have an impact on the reported carrying amounts of assets and liabilities shown in the balance sheet on the balance sheet date and income and expenses accounted for in the period under review. These estimates and assumptions are based on future expectations and are held reasonable at the time of preparation of the financial statements. The actual amounts can deviate from these assumptions. The most important influential factors on positions based on estimates and assumptions are expressed as follows:
The development expenses are capitalised when the requirements for the capitalisation are met. Ypsomed's estimation of future economic benefits is based on management's assumptions with regard to the economic conditions, expected prospective cash flows and the expected period of time in which economic benefits are targeted. Capitalised development expenses as of 31 March 2025 amount to CHF 282.0 million (previous year: CHF 250.6 million).
When determining the provisions for warranties, management takes into account currently marketed own products and calculates the provisions necessary to cover all callable claims based on the maturity and characteristics of the products as well as experience. As of 31 March 2025, Ypsomed discloses provisions for warranties of CHF 9.1 million (previous year: CHF 7.7 million).
When accruals for income taxes are made for a period, uncertainties regarding final tax payments remain. Estimates that vary from the definitive tax amount have an impact on current and deferred income taxes. With the capitalisation of deferred tax assets from losses carried forward, the value of these tax loss carryforwards and the tax rates to be applied must be estimated. Deferred income tax assets related to tax loss carryforwards as of 31 March 2025 amount to CHF 14.0 million (previous year: CHF 14.4 million).
The war between Ukraine and Russia shows a significant impact on the economies of both countries and beyond. While deliveries to pharmaceutical and biotech companies in Russia are not affected by sanctions at the reporting date, this may change over time. Ypsomed meets its obligations in a logistically challenging environment and supplies pharmaceutical companies with life-saving insulin pens. Future negative effects on Ypsomed, for example as a result of possible payment restrictions, cannot be excluded.

Ypsomed's annual report in accordance with Swiss GAAP FER is enhanced by additional key financial figures that are not defined in Swiss GAAP FER. These are mainly EBIT, EBITDA, ROCE and net debt.
Ypsomed's EBITDA equals operating profit before amortisation, depreciation and impairment of tangible and intangible assets, whereas EBIT stands for operating profit. Ypsomed feels confident that both EBIT and EBITDA represent substantial financial ratios that allow for a comparison with other corporations with regard to different Capitalisation – or legal set-ups and therefore different interest- and tax rates. In addition, the ratios enable drawing comparisons to enterprises with differently occurring amortisation, depreciation and impairment of both tangible and intangible assets.
ROCE (Return on Capital Employed) measures the profitability and efficiency with which the capital employed is utilized. It is calculated as operating profit (EBIT) in relation to the average capital employed (Long-term assets + net working capital).
Net debt represents the total amount of interest-bearing financial liabilities minus cash and cash equivalents.

The pen needle and blood glucose monitoring (BGM) business segments were sold to the Italian company Medical Technology and Devices S.p.A (MTD) on 31 July 2024 (closing).
In addition to the agreed fixed purchase price, which Ypsomed has received after closing, two variable purchase price components (earn-outs) have been agreed. These variable purchase price components are dependent on the achievement of future sales targets and can range between CHF 0 and 10 million. A non-current receivable of CHF 2 million was recognised on the basis of a cautiously realistic estimate of this potential cash inflow. This estimate is reviewed on each balance sheet date and adjusted via other operating expenses if necessary. The variable purchase price components will be paid out in the first half of 2027.
The result on disposal includes costs amounting to CHF 7.8 million relating transaction costs (in particular legal and consulting costs) as well as value adjustments and provisions associated with the transaction. The latter are reassessed on each balance sheet date and, if an adjustment is necessary, are corrected via other operating expenses.
As per closing date, the goodwill offset against equity in the amount of CHF 10.2 million was recycled, which had a corresponding negative impact on the result of the transaction.
During a transition phase, Ypsomed will continue to produce pen needles as a contract manufacturer and provide other services for MTD in order to enable a seamless transfer and smooth process for customers. This transition phase is governed by a Transitional Manufacturing and Supply Agreement (TMSA) for contract manufacturing and a Transitional Services Agreement (TSA) for services. Sales of CHF 14.6 million have been realised as part of contract manufacturing since the closing.

Ypsomed has decided to change the accounting principles for research and development costs. Research and development expenses are now divided into customerspecific and non-customer-specific costs. Customerspecific costs are included in the cost of goods and services sold. Non-customer-specific costs are reported under research and development expenses below gross profit.
This change in accounting policy must be applied retrospectively as at 01 April 2023 and therefore results in a restatement of the previous year. This is purely a reclassification of the income statement. The balance sheet, cash flow statement and statement of changes in equity are not effected. The following table shows the impact on the affected items in the income statement.

Ypsomed has decided to change the accounting principles for government grants. Government grants are now offset against the subsidised assets and accordingly reduce depreciation over the entire useful life. This change in accounting policy must be applied retrospectively to 01 April 2023 and therefore results in a restatement of the previous year.
The restatement only affects the balance sheet. The income statement, the cash flow statement and the statement of changes in equity are not affected. The following table shows the impact on the balance sheet:

In the current fiscal year, as part of the sale process for the Ypsomed Diabetes Care business area, the existing YpsoPod contract was revalued by independent third parties (see also Note 26 – Related Party Transactions), as an exit from this contract became likely. This resulted in the capitalisation at CHF 18.5 million, which was recognised as a prepaid expense.

There are no pledges to secure loans. In the reporting period, investments were mainly made in the expansion of our production capacities in Germany and China. Related with the restatement regarding government grants the opening balances at 01 April 2023 have been restated by CHF – 9.2 million for acquisition costs and CHF 1.2 million for accumulated depreciation (see note 3). In the reporting year, Ypsomed received government grants for property, plant and equipment in the amount of CHF 0.5 million (previous year: CHF 0.5 million), of which a total of CHF 0.4 million was for photovoltaic systems in Switzerland.
1 The change in scope of consolidation is related to the sale of the Pen Needle and Blood Glucose Monitoring (BGM) business segments (see note 1).
2 Based on an impairment test, the fixed assets of the group companies Ypsotec AG and Ypsotec s.r.o. have been fully impaired by CHF 14.0 million as per 31 March 2025.

Capitalised development costs include products in the development phase amounting to CHF 171.2 million (previous year: CHF 185.1 million), products in the industrialisation phase amounting to CHF 32.1 million (previous year: CHF 11.4 million) and products in the marketing phase amounting to CHF 78.7 million (previous year: CHF 54.1 million). In the reporting year, Ypsomed received government grants in the amount of CHF 0.6 million for land use rights in China, which were capitalised in the category "Other" in the previous year. The accounting policy on government grants was adjusted retrospectively as per 01 April 2023 (see note 3).
1 The change in scope of consolidation is related to the sale of the Pen Needle and Blood Glucose Monitoring (BGM) business segments (see note 1).
2 The capitalised development costs for an individual project were fully impaired as of 31 March 2025, as the originally planned customer projects were not realised. The business case on which the project was based is therefore no longer recoverable, which is why an impairment loss of CHF 11.3 million was recognised. The intangible assets of the subsidiaries Ypsotec AG and Ypsotec s.r.o. were fully impaired by CHF 0.1 million as at 31 March 2025 based on an impairment test.
Acquired goodwill – the difference between acquisition costs and the recalculated current value of all net assets acquired – is offset directly against equity at the time of acquisition of a participation or business.
A theoretical capitalisation of goodwill and amortisation over five years would lead to the following values:

Regarding short-term financial liabilities, these consist of fixed advances from banks granted for a term of up to twelve months. As of 31 March 2025, there is a maximum credit line of CHF 450 million available for these fixed advances (previous year: CHF 370 million). In fiscal year 2024/25, interest payments amounting to CHF –6.6 million (previous year: CHF – 4.8 million) were made on these fixed advances. The average interest rate was 1.99 % (previous year: 2.35 %).
During the reporting period, a promissory note loan in the amount of CHF 100 million was issued, with maturities of three years (CHF 95 million) and five years (CHF 5 million). The funds were received in March 2025. The average interest rate for this promissory note loan was 1.57 % during the reporting period. There are standard market covenants for the fixed advances and the promissory note loan. These were complied with as at 31 March 2025 and 31 March 2024.

In connection with the establishment of Ypsomed Diabetes Care AG, tax loss carryforwards were activated. After offsetting, no net deferred income tax liabilities remain.
There is a risk that medical products developed, distributed and produced by Ypsomed could have material defects or product faults, resulting in legal liabilities and product liabilities in particular as well as other liabilities, such as the withdrawal or recall of products. Provisions are recorded based on management's best estimate and relate to warranties and also to replacement costs for withdrawn products. The company's management bases these provisions on the estimated potential warranty claim for each product.
Ypsomed holds insurance policies with third parties to cover material damages, interruption of operation, product liability and other risks, with worldwide coverage. Ypsomed believes that its insurance cover and provisions with regard to business activities and the associated operative risks involved are appropriate and sensible. However, events can arise that are not covered or only partly covered by insurance policies or provisions made by Ypsomed. The closing of an insurance contract, covering product liability, depends on the development of the insurance market and, in particular, on the general development of the pharmaceutical industry, in which high claims for compensation are typical. Although no such losses are currently expected by Ypsomed, there is no guarantee that the company might not be subjected to damage claims in the future that are in excess of the cover available.
Provisions for warranties cover any warranty claims that may occur for products on the market. The provisions extend for the average life of the products, which is between one and five years, depending on the product, and are also determined by the best possible assessment of the risk of a claim for each product category.
In connection with the retroactive Italian "Payback" decree from the years 2015–2018, there was a provision of CHF 2.9 million as of 31 March 2023. In fiscal year 2023/24, Ypsomed accepted, in most regions, a settlement offer from the Italian authorities, resulting in a reversal of CHF 1.5 million and the utilization of CHF 0.9 million. As of 31 March 2025, a provision of CHF 0.3 million remains.
The remaining items are based on estimates and mainly include provisions for employee service gifts amounting to CHF 4.0 million as of 31 March 2025 (previous year: CHF 3.2 million).
Provisions arising from the sale of the business segment for pen needles and blood glucose monitoring devices (BGM) stand at CHF 1.1 million (previous year: CHF 0.0 million; see note 1).

Employees of Ypsomed AG and of Ypsomed Diabetes Care AG were able to purchase shares of Ypsomed Holding AG at preferential conditions. All employees in an employment relationship without notice at the time of the offer were entitled to acquire shares in Ypsomed Holding AG amounting to 90% of one month's salary.
The purchase price offered on 02 December 2024 corresponded to the average of all daily share prices for the months of September, October and November 2024 minus a discount of 20%. Partly due to tax considerations, the acquired shares cannot be sold during a blocking period of 3 years.
Ypsomed employees acquired a total of 2 830 Ypsomed Holding AG shares (previous year: 5 370 Ypsomed Holding AG shares) at the special price of CHF 322.18 (previous year: CHF 211.40). The nominal discount per share on the grant date (date of origination of purchase agreement between Ypsomed and the employee, 09 December 2024) amounts to CHF 44.32 (previous year: CHF 88.60). CHF – 0.1 million is therefore reported under "Wages and salaries" (previous year: CHF – 0.5 million).
As of 31 March 2025, Ypsomed Group's workforce amounts to 2 644 full-time equivalents (prior year: 2 296).
In financial year 2023/24, a Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) was introduced for the Board of Directors, the Executive Management and other managers. Plan participants receive a defined number of performance share units (PSUs) at the beginning of a vesting period of three years. At the end of the three-year vesting period, participants will be allocated a certain number of shares of Ypsomed Holding AG for each allocated PSU, depending on the corresponding goal achievement.
The vesting of the LTIP allocation from this reporting year will take place in 2027 (previous year: 2026). For each PSU between 0 and 2 shares could be allocated (performance factor). The plan sets a target for both the growth of "Total Shareholder Return" (weighted at 50 %) and the "cumulative absolute EBIT in CHF" (weighted at 50 %).
After vesting, plan participants can freely dispose of the allocated shares as they are not subject to any lock-up period. It is a real equity-based compensation, accordingly the booking is done through personnel expenses directly in equity (capital reserves).

Within the group, there are various employee pension plans, of which most employees are members. For the companies abroad and one company in Switzerland, there are pension plans for which the obligation to provide benefits such as retirement, death or invalidity benefits lies with a state institution and/or an insurance company. For the pension plan of Ypsomed AG and Ypsomed Diabetes Care AG representing a proportion of 63% of the group's workforce as at 31 March 2025, there is a separate pension scheme set up in accordance with the Swiss Federal Act on Occupational Retirement, Survivors' and Disability Pension Plans (BVG) and independent of the group. As at 31 March 2025, the pension scheme held a value fluctuation reserve of CHF 47.7 million (previous year: CHF 35.9 million). As in the previous year, there were no non committed funds as per 31 March 2025. In the reporting period, the calculated coverage ratio was 114.1% within the meaning of art. 44 of the Ordinance on Occupational Retirement, Survivors' and Disability Pension Plans (BVV2), based on a technical interest rate of 1.0% and BVG 2020 (previous year: 111.7%, technical interest rate 1.0% and BVG 2020). Pension costs as part of personnel expense correspond to the standard contribution payments by the group companies involved.

Prior-Year Special Effects in Deferred Taxes 2023/24 The revaluation of deferred tax assets at a tax rate of 15 % resulted in a deferred tax benefit of CHF 2.5 million in the prior-year period.

Deferred income tax assets from unused tax loss carryforwards are only capitalised if it is highly probable that future taxable profits will be generated. For newly incurred losses, deferred income tax assets amounting to CHF 2.4 million (previous year: CHF 4.7 million) were recognised. CHF 1.2 million (previous year: CHF 2.0 million) of the deferred tax assets from loss carryforwards were used by offsetting profits.
The remaining change compared to the previous year is attributable to foreign currency translation effects as well as to loss carryforwards no longer deemed recoverable (CHF 1.4 million), based on impairment assessments at Ypsotec AG and Ypsotec s.r.o.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised on 81 % (previous year: 72 %) of the total loss carryforwards of CHF 67.0 million (previous year: CHF 76.2 million).
Ypsomed discloses net sales from the perspective of sales structures, according to Ypsomed Delivery Systems (YDS: injection systems) and Ypsomed Diabetes Care (YDC: insulin pumps, infusion sets and other accessories as well as pen needles and blood clucose monitoring systems). The YDS division provides pharmaceutical and biotech customers with injection systems and related services. This is a B2B business which is handled directly from the headquarters in Burgdorf. In the YDC area, the products are sold directly to hospitals, doctors, pharmacies and patients via Ypsomed subsidiaries and distributors. The segment Others comprises Ypsotec and properties not used for operational purposes. In the reporting year, net sales from intersegment transactions resulting from contract manufacturing from Ypsomed AG to Ypsomed Diabetes Care AG is also reported under Other.
Due to possible competitive disadvantages, segment results are not disclosed in accordance with Swiss GAAP FER 31/8. Compared to relevant competitors in the field of injection systems and insulin pumps, this results in significantly higher transparency with regard to the cost and margin structure, and Ypsomed would be the only company to provide detailed segment profitability information. Most of the relevant competitors are companies without publicly available financial information (Owen Mumford and SHL Group), or large companies with large reporting segments and diluted comparative information (Roche and Medtronic). Accordingly, disclosure of such information would result in a significant competitive disadvantage compared to competitors. In addition, such information can have a negative impact on the negotiating position towards customers and suppliers.

Ypsomed has indefinite contingent liabilities (mainly guarantees) from current business activities with regard to third parties to the amount of CHF 12.2 million (previous year: CHF 7.7 million). Ypsomed is of the opinion that it is unlikely that these contingent liabilities will be utilised.
The maturities of the group's fixed operational lease/rental liabilities that cannot be terminated within 12 months are as follows (undiscounted):

The above overview includes a lease agreement concluded between Ypsomed AG and Techpharma Management AG, a company controlled by Willy Michel. The rent is based on an independent rental valuation, and starting from 01 June 2020 it amounts to CHF 0.8 million per year plus VAT and is linked to the national consumer price index. The contract ends on 31 December 2029. The total obligation until expiry of the contract amounts to CHF 4.0 million (previous year: CHF 4.8 million).

The increase in obligations for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment is mainly due to the planned expansion of production capacity in Switzerland, Germany and China. Commitments for other procurements mainly include contractual obligations for the purchase of customer machinery.
Related parties are Techpharma Management AG, Tec-Med AG and the employee pension funds. On the balance sheet date, trade receivables and advance payments to related parties amounted to CHF 1.6 million (previous year: CHF 0.8 million).
As in the previous year, there were no liabilities at the reporting date. The reporting year includes the following significant transactions with related parties:

Since 01 January 2006, Techpharma Management AG, which is controlled by Willy Michel, has rented the commercial property at Buchmattstrasse in Burgdorf to Ypsomed. The parties have signed this lease contract that stipulates i.e. an index-linked lease at arms' length; the determination of the lease has been reviewed and agreed by an independent assessor. The lease contract could be terminated on 31 December 2029 conditional upon a 24 months' notice, and after this date on any month (see note 25). During the entire lease period, there is an unlimited purchase option for the lessee, which definitely will end after 25 years after the beginning of the lease. In addition, the lease contract stipulates that moderate and usual maintenance work amounting up to 2% of the annual lease per calendar year shall be borne by the lessee. More extensive maintenance expenses in order to preserve the substance of the building shall be borne by the lessor. Realised and with the hirer agreed modifications of the building shall be reimbursed upon the termination of the contract.
Further contractual relations Techpharma Management AG, which is controlled by Willy Michel, and Ypsomed have concluded a framework service contract that can be terminated by either side at any time. This contract allows Techpharma Management AG for providing service as of needed basis to Ypsomed Group (e.g. hotel, catering) as well as selected management support services (including temporary labour leasing) and, for its part, for Ypsomed Group to offer occasional services Techpharma Management AG (e.g. management – and IT support, including temporary labour leasing). The required services are being invoiced at a prevailing market rate. This service contract was discussed and agreed by the Board of Directors who have obtained the opinion that the contracts is at arm's length.
As of 01 January 2021, Ypsomed sold the development project YpsoPod (patch-pump technology) to a related party. This sale enabled Ypsomed to enhance the entrepreneurial freedom and to invest the resources by focusing on all activities, which contribute to profitability faster. Ypsomed has a preemption right if TecMed AG prospectively sells the YpsoPod in future. If Ypsomed is opting out the preemption right, then it could claim 20% earn-out. In addition, Ypsomed can repurchase the product at the respective stage of development.
As stipulated in a service contract, the related party has mandated Ypsomed AG to enhance YpsoPod. Ypsomed charges occurring expenditures and processing services with a mark-up of 5 %. The risks of the enhancement and industrialisation are borne by the related party. If the related party outsources the production of YpsoPod, Ypsomed AG has the right to submit an offer.
In the current fiscal year, as part of the sales process for the Ypsomed Diabetes Care business unit, the existing YpsoPod contract was revalued by independent third parties, as an exit from this contract became likely. This resulted in the capitalisation of the contract at CHF 18.5 million (see note 7).
The earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profits by the monthly weighted number of outstanding shares during the period. Here, the average number of treasury shares held by the group companies is subtracted from the issued shares.
In the prior year 2023/24, a Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTI) was introduced for the Board of Directors, the Executive Board, and other managers, which may lead to a potentially dilutive effect.

In November 2024, the Board of Directors of Ypsomed decided to initiate the sale for the Ypsomed Diabetes Care division. The business Ypsomed Diabetes Care comprises the business with various items for diabetes care, such as infusion pumps and infusion sets. The table below shows the net sales and the operating result of the Ypsomed Diabetes Care segment excluding the part from the sale of the Pen Needle and Blood Glucose Monitoring (BGM) business segments (see note 1) as well es the revaluation of the existing YpsoPod contract (see note 26) .

|---|---|---|
| Net sales | 190099 | 111624 |
| Operating result | –21651 | –44571 |
In February 2025, the Board of Directors of Ypsomed Holding AG decided to discontinue the precision turned parts business unit and, for this reason, to sell Ypsotec AG along with its subsidiary Ypsotec s.r.o.. The sales process has been initiated.
| Net sales and operating result | 2024/25 | 2023/24 |
|---|---|---|
| Net sales | 10856 | 12255 |
| Operating result | –20282 | –3355 |
On 21 April 2025 Ypsomed and TecMed AG, with headquarters in Burgdorf, entered into an agreement for the sale of Ypsomed Diabetes Care AG for up to CHF 420 million inclusive earn-out and rights to the patch pump development activities. Ypsomed is selling Ypsomed Diabetes Care AG, including the relevant subsidiaries (see note 4), the patch pump development activities and related rights to TecMed AG. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2025, subject to regulatory approvals of the ongoing carve-out.
During a transition phase, Ypsomed will continue to produce certain parts and provide services as a contract manufacturer to enable a seamless transfer. The net proceeds and the earnings contribution of the discontinued businesses can be found in note 28. Net assets worth CHF 54 million will be sold.
The other future financial effects cannot be reliably estimated at this point in time.

to the General Meeting of Ypsomed Holding AG, Burgdorf
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Ypsomed Holding AG and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprise the consolidated income statement for the financial year ended 31 March 2025, the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 March 2025, consolidated statement of cash flows and consolidated statement of changes in equity for the financial year then ended, the basis for the consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements (pages 66 to 75 and 77 to 96) give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 March 2025 and of its consolidated financial performance 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.

Overall group materiality: CHF 5'900'000
We concluded full scope audit work at 5 components in 2 countries. Our audit scope addressed over 84% of the Group's sales of goods and services.
As key audit matter the following area of focus has been identified:
Impairment of capitalized development costs
The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. Our audit opinion aims to provide reasonable assurance that the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the consolidated financial statements.
PricewaterhouseCoopers AG, Bahnhofplatz 10, 3011 Bern Telefon: +41 58 792 75 00, www.pwc.ch

Based on our professional judgement, we determined certain quantitative thresholds for materiality, including the overall Group materiality for the consolidated financial statements as a whole as set out in the table below. These, together with qualitative considerations, helped us to determine the scope of our audit and the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements, both individually and in aggregate, on the consolidated financial statements as a whole.
| Overall group materiality | CHF 5'900'000 |
|---|---|
| Benchmark applied | Sales of goods and services |
| Rationale for the materiality benchmark applied | We chose sales of goods and services as the benchmark because, in our view, it is one of the benchmarks against which the performance of the group is most commonly measured, and it is a generally accepted benchmark for materiality considerations. |
We agreed with the Audit & Risk Committee that we would report to them misstatements above CHF 590'000 identified during our audit as well as any misstatements below that amount which, in our view, warranted reporting for qualitative reasons.
We tailored the scope of our audit in order to perform sufficient work to enable us to provide an opinion on the consolidated financial statements as a whole, taking into account the structure of the Group, the accounting processes and controls, and the industry in which the Group operates.
The Group comprises three business divisions (Ypsomed Delivery Systems, Ypsomed Diabetes Care, Others) and it is active in four regions, 'Switzerland', 'Europe', 'North America' and 'Rest of the World' . The Group financial statements are a consolidation of 28 reporting units, comprising the Group's operating businesses and centralised service and corporate functions. The Group audit strategy was determined taking into account the work performed by the Group auditor as well as by the component auditors in the PwC network. In relying on the component auditors, we have ensured that their work provides sufficient appropriate audit evidence on the components' financial information as a basis for the Group audit opinion. This involvement of the Group auditor in the work of the component auditors was based on audit instructions and pre-structured reporting. It also included the assessment of the risk assessments and reporting of the component auditors as well as various telephone conferences with them.
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.
profitability analysis with data sources of the group.

Capitalized development costs include products in the development phase in the amount of CHF 171.2 million (prior year: CHF 185.1 million), products in the industrialization phase of CHF 32.1 million (prior year: CHF 11.4 million) and products in the marketing phase of CHF 78.7 million (prior year: CHF 54.1 million).
In order to test the development costs for impairment. management assesses the probability of any expected future economic benefits.
We consider the impairment of capitalized development costs as a key audit matter, as the profitability analysis used for this purpose is substantially based on management estimates.
We consider the profitability analysis applied by management to be an appropriate basis for the assessment of the impairment of capitalized development cost.
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 financial statements, the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements, that 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.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements is located on EXPERTsuisse's website: http://www.expertsuisse.ch/en/audit-report. This description forms an integral part of our report.

In accordance with article 728a para. 1 item 3 CO and PS-CH 890, we confirm the existence of an internal control system that has been designed, pursuant to the instructions of the Board of Directors, for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
We recommend that the consolidated financial statements submitted to you be approved.

to the General Meeting of Ypsomed Holding AG, Burgdorf
We have audited the financial statements of Ypsomed Holding AG (the Company), which comprise the balance sheet as at 31 March 2025, and the income statement for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant valuation principles and accounting policies.
In our opinion, the financial statements (pages 101 to 107) 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.

Overall materiality: CHF 9'000'000
We tailored the scope of our audit in order to perform sufficient work to enable us to provide an opinion on the financial statements as a whole, taking into account the structure of the Company, the accounting processes and controls, and the industry in which the Company operates.
As key audit matter the following area of focus has been identified:
Impairment of investments and long-term receivables group companies
The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. Our audit opinion aims to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement. Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements.
Based on our professional judgement, we determined certain quantitative thresholds for materiality, including the overall materiality for the financial statements as a whole as set out in the table below. These, together with qualitative considerations, helped us to determine the scope of our audit and the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements, both individually and in aggregate, on the financial statements as a whole.

| Overall materiality | CHF 9'000'000 |
|---|---|
| Benchmark applied | total assets |
| Rationale for the materiality benchmark applied | We chose total assets as the benchmark because, in our view, it is a relevant benchmark against which a holding company can be assessed, and it is a generally accepted benchmark for materiality considerations. |
We agreed with the Audit Committee that we would report to them misstatements above CHF 590'000 identified during our audit as well as any misstatements below that amount which, in our view, warranted reporting for qualitative reasons
We designed our audit by determining materiality and assessing the risks of material misstatement in the financial statements. In particular, we considered where subjective judgements were made; for example, in respect of significant accounting estimates that involved making assumptions and considering future events that are inherently uncertain. As in all of our audits, we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including among other matters consideration of whether there was evidence of bias that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
As at 31 March 2025, Ypsomed Holding AG holds investments and long-term receivables group companies in the amount of kCHF 1'088'819 (prior year: kCHF 979'075).
To test the investments and long-term receivables group companies positions for impairment, management prepares medium-term plans. These medium-term plans form the basis for testing the impairment of investments and long-term receivables group companies' positions. These medium-term plans are substantially based on management estimates.
We consider the impairment of investments and longterm receivables group companies as a key audit matter due to their relevance to the financial position of Ypsomed Holding AG.
This matter is presented in the statutory financial statements in the notes to the statutory financial statements in the valuation principles to «long-term receivables group companies» and «direct investments».
In order to test the appropriateness of the impairment assessment undertaken by management, we performed the following audit procedures:
We consider the assessment procedures used by management to be an appropriate and adequate basis for the impairment testing of investments and long-term receivables group companies.

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 financial statements, the consolidated 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.
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 financial statements 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 financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Company'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 Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 financial statements.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on EXPERTsuisse's website: http://www.expertsuisse.ch/en/audit-report. This description forms an integral part of our report.
In accordance with article 728a para. 1 item 3 CO and PS-CH 890, we confirm the existence of an internal control system that has been designed, pursuant to the instructions of the Board of Directors, for the preparation of the financial statements.
Based on our audit according to article 728a para. 1 item 2 CO, we confirm that the Board of Directors' proposals comply with Swiss law and the Company's articles of incorporation. We recommend that the financial statements submitted to you be approved.

Here, it receives the written reports of the CEO, the Business Areas Ypsomed Delivery Systems and Ypsomed Diabetes Care and subsequently of the CEO of Ypsomed Diabetes Care AG, which was founded in the reporting year, as well as of the Corporate Areas Finance, Operations and Corporate Services and the corresponding verbal explanations. The Board of Directors confers and decides on the proposals from the CEO as well as from the committees. The comprehensive report of the auditors is discussed at the May Board of Directors meeting. The Board of Directors meets regularly on one additional occasion per year for a strategy meeting with Executive Board. Occasionally, the Board of Directors also passes resolutions by means of circular letter. The items to be included in the agenda on a regular or periodic basis are defined in the Organisational Regulations, whereby each member of the Board of Directors may request that items be included in the agenda. The final agenda is determined by the Chairman. The members, as well as the CEO and CFO and the officers responsible for internal audit and risk management generally receive the agenda and the necessary documentation for decision making seven to ten days before the meeting. Any member of the Board of Directors may request information about any aspect of the Ypsomed Group's affairs. Votes and elections within the Board of Directors are passed by majority of the votes. In the event of a tied vote, the Chairman has the casting vote, in his absence, the vice chairman shall have the casting vote. Votes may not be taken by proxy. The CEO and the CFO as well as the office holders responsible for internal audit and risk management and, on a case-by-case basis, other members of Executive Board or employees with an advisory role are present at the meetings. As a rule, external consultants are not called in.
In the reporting year, the Board of Directors met six times. Three meetings of the Board of Directors, each lasting 7 hours, were held in person; three meetings were hybrid events, with one meeting lasting 6.5 hours and two meetings each lasting just under an hour. In addition, the Board of Directors convened for one day in March 2025 as part of the strategy meeting with Executive Board. All members of the Board of Directors attended all meetings of the Board of Directors and the strategy meeting in March 2025. Paul Fonteyne was excused for the General Meeting of Shareholders in June 2024; the other members of the Board of Directors were present at the General Meeting of Shareholders in 2024.
The chairperson of the respective committee invites the participants of the meeting in good time. He/she informs the full Board of Directors in an appropriate form about the activities and the results of the committee.
The NCC held three meetings, of which two were hybrid and one attended in person. The ARC met four times, three times in hybrid form and once in person. The ISC met once in hybrid form, once online and once in person. The meetings lasted between 1.5 and 4 hours.

The full Board of Directors decided on the motions put forward by the committees.
The Board of Directors is entrusted to perform the nontransferable and inalienable tasks to which it is entitled by law: it has the highest decisionmaking power in the company, under restriction of those matters on which shareholders must decide in accordance with the law. In particular, it defines company policy, the mission statement – consisting of a mission and a vision – and the strategic direction of the Ypsomed Group, sets its targets and priorities and allocates the resources for achieving the targets set. The Board of Directors defines the organisation of the Ypsomed Group, supervises operating activities, controls the finance and accounting divisions and is responsible for appointments and dismissals as well as the supervision of the individuals entrusted with management duties. It is responsible for the Annual Report and the Remuneration Report, issues the Code of Conduct, approves the budget and the mid-term planning for Executive Board and also monitors the business activities of the Group companies and it periodically assesses strategic, operational and financial risks. The Board of Directors approves individual business affairs. In particular, this includes decisions on the purchase or sale of companies and participations in companies as well as legal transactions concluded with individual members of the Board of Directors, the Executive Board or persons related with them, with the main shareholder or with members of the Michel shareholder group. The competences of the Board of Directors and of the other decisionmakers within the Ypsomed Group are defined within the Organisational Regulations. The Organisational Regulations can be viewed on the company's website, www. ypsomed.com (www.ypsomed.com/regulatorypolicy). In all other respects, the Board of Directors has delegated the management of the business to the Executive Board under the direction of the CEO.
The Ypsomed Group's information and control tools, which are at the disposal of the Board of Directors, consist of a quarterly written management report (management review, quarterly reports), and a financial report. The Chairman of the Board of Directors and the CEO have direct access at all times to the management information system (MIS).
Furthermore, the Board of Directors uses strategic plan ning documents as management tools for steering the company. Responsibility for risk management and moni toring rests with Executive Board, which reports on these matters periodically to the full Board of Directors, but at least once a year. In addition to these documents, further selected financial figures are available to Executive Board on a monthly basis.
Risk assessment is based on a risk inventory that en compasses the relevant risk categories such as strategic risks, management risks, general risks in the operating business, legal risks, systemic risks, financial risks, inclu ding market, credit and liquidity risks and event risks, including political, regulatory, fiscal, climate-induced and external risks, and assesses these with regard to proba bility of occurrence and impact.
The "Internal Auditing" function, for which the Board of Directors is directly responsible, is commissioned with the constant expansion of the documented, internal con trol system. The auditing plans are based on a risk-orien ted procedure that relates to business processes and are geared towards the following goals and tasks: reviewing the ful filment of business goals and objectives; evaluati on of the effectiveness of risk management, control and corporate management processes; optimisation of busi ness processes; improvement of controls and processes with regard to the information systems; veri fication of controls and processes for accounting systems and finan cial reporting; con firmation and guarantee of authorised business transactions; safeguarding and protection of assets; support with regard to complying with legal and regulatory requirements; reviewing signi ficant or special business cases and transactions. The Board of Directors can determine additional areas to be reviewed. The per son responsible for "Internal auditing" provides the audi tors several times per year with appropriate documenta tion on his/her internal auditing activities and coordinates these with the auditing to be carried out by the auditors within the framework of the interim and year-end audits.

We disclose the remuneration of the Board of Directors and the Executive Board in accordance with the legal and statutory requirements.

The Remuneration Report for Ypsomed Holding AG for the financial year 2024/2025 sets out the remuneration principles, the remuneration system as well as the actual remuneration for the Board of Directors and Executive Board in accordance with legal provisions and those of the Articles of Association (www.ypsomed.com/articlesofassociation).
The overall responsibility for the definition of the remuneration principles is held by the Board of Directors. The Nomination & Compensation Committee (NCC) supports the Board of Directors in determining and reviewing the remuneration principles, in drafting the Remuneration Report and in preparing the proposals for the Annual General Meeting with regard to the remuneration of the Board of Directors and Executive Board. The members of the Board of Directors and the members of the Executive Board present at the relevant meeting of the Board of Directors have the right of participation and the right to comment if their remuneration is being decided by the committee responsible.
At the Annual General Meeting on 28 June 2023, the Annual General Meeting approved the introduction of a share-based long-term remuneration element, the Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP). The LTIP provides for an annual allocation of performance share units (PSUs), which are subject to a three-year performance period (vesting period). The number of allocated PSUs per annum is calculated on the basis of an allocation amount individually determined by the Board of Directors divided by the price per PSU; the price per PSU corresponds to the volume-weighted average of the daily closing prices of the share over 20 trading days prior to the start of the vesting period. The performance and service conditions defined for the respective vesting period determine the realisation of the PSUs.
The performance conditions for the LTIP include:
The targets for each performance condition are defined annually by the Board of Directors for the respective threeyear vesting period. Depending on the target achievement, the PSUs will be converted into shares after the three-year vesting period in a possible ratio of 0.0 to 2.0, rounded up to the nearest whole share in each case; in case of a target achievement of 100 %, the conversion will be one-to-one, i.e. each PSU will be converted into one share. In this context, future share price volatility will affect the equivalent value that the entitled persons will receive. The shares are not blocked.
The service condition is reflected by the requirement of an existing employment or mandate relationship at the end of the respective vesting period. In the event of termination of the employment relationship or mandate due to death, disability, permanent incapacity to work or retirement, as well as by mutual agreement, an early vesting takes place. In all other cases, the PSUs granted forfeit.
On 13 May 2025, the Board of Directors decided to include return on capital employed (ROCE) as a new, third performance condition for the LTIP to promote sustainable return on capital and decided that the three performance conditions Total Shareholder Return, cumulative EBIT and ROCE should each be weighted at 1/3. The performance conditions adjusted in this way will be applied for the first time for the period from July 2025.
At the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of Ypsomed Holding AG of 02 July 2025, the General Meeting of Shareholders shall decide with binding effect and in separate votes on the maximum total amount of fixed remuneration and the maximum total amount of sharebased long-term remuneration for the members of the Board of Directors for the period until the next ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders in 2026. In addition, the Annual General Meeting will vote on the maximum total amount of performance-related remuneration for the members of the Executive Board for the financial year preceding the Annual General Meeting, ending on 31 March 2025. Furthermore, the Annual General Meeting on 02 July 2025 will decide on the maximum total amount of fixed remuneration and the maximum total amount of sharebased long-term remuneration for members of the Executive Board for the period from 01 July 2025 to 30 June 2026.
The respective total amounts shall include employer contributions to the social security, insofar as such contributions are granted. No credits, loans or insurance benefits apart from those from the employee benefit insurance were granted to the members of the Board of Directors and the Executive Board.
Fees and expenses that are paid in compliance with the regulations approved by the authorities are not deemed to be remuneration subject to authorisation.
The principles and elements of the Board of Directors' remuneration, consisting of a fixed remuneration and further benefits as well as a performance-related, sharebased long-term remuneration, are discussed and examinated annually by the NCC and presented to the full Board of Directors for a decision. The full Board of Directors reviews the remuneration annually and determines any adjustments at its own discretion and without consulting external advisors.
The fixed remuneration in the period from the Annual General Meeting 2024 to the Annual General Meeting 2025 is KCHF 180.0 (previous year: KCHF 180.0) for the Chairman of the Board of Directors and KCHF 110.0 (previous year: KCHF 110.0) for each non-executive member of the Board of Directors. These amounts include KCHF 20.0 for each committee chair and KCHF 10.0 respectively for each committee member. Participation in the meetings of the Board of Directors and the committees as well as participation in the strategy meeting and the Annual General Meeting are not remunerated separately.
The allocation amount for the share-based long-term remuneration of the four non-executive members of the Board of Directors for the financial year 2024/25 is KCHF 156.6 (previous year: KCHF 40.6) and results in an allocation of 384 PSUs (previous year: 584 PSU) for the four non-executive members of the Board of Directors. The allocation is usually made after the General Meeting of Shareholders.

The NCC assesses the performance and the remuneration of the members of Executive Board every year and recommends any adjustments to the Board of Directors to decide on at its own discretion and without consulting external advisors.
The fixed remuneration is dependent on the function, the skills, the professional experience and the performance of the relevant person. The performance-related, shortterm remuneration for the CEO amounts to between 0 % and a maximum of 60 % and for the other members of the Executive Board between 0 % and a maximum of 30 % of the annual fixed remuneration (gross) of the individual member of the Executive Board. According to the remuneration principles, the performance-related, shortterm remuneration depends on the targets achieved visà-vis the set targets, based two-thirds on the consolidated EBIT margin and one-third on consolidated sales. The amount of the performance-related, short-term remuneration for the CEO in the reporting year amounted to approximately KCHF 286.0 resp. 44 % (previous year: KCHF 247.0 resp. 38 %) of the fixed remuneration, based on a target achievement level of 110 % (previous year: 95 %). The amount of the performance-related, shortterm remuneration for the other members of the Executive Board in the reporting year amounted to KCHF 532.3 resp. 22 % (previous year: KCHF 440.1 resp. 20 %) of the fixed remuneration, based on a target achievement level of 110 % (previous year: 95 %).
The allocation amount for the share-based long-term remuneration to the CEO in the reporting year is KCHF 206.0 (previous year: KCHF 52.6) resulting in an allocation of 497 PSU (previous year: 757 PSU) to the CEO. The allocation amount for the share-based long-term remuneration to the other members of the Executive Board in the reporting year is KCHF 390.1 (previous year: KCHF 92.7) and results in an allocation of 941 PSU (previous year: 1 335 PSU) to the other members of the Executive Board.
The Board of Directors is entitled to pay all types of permissible remuneration from the fixed remuneration amounts authorised by the Annual General Meeting or the additional amounts. Members of Executive Board are granted insurance benefits from the employee benefit insurance within the framework of the statutory provisions and the provisions according to the regulations including extra-mandatory benefits and in the case of illness or accident their remuneration continues to be paid and/or is paid as insurance and bridging benefits within the framework of the statutory provisions and the provisions according to the regulations.
No severance pay and no notice periods of more than six months have been agreed with any member of Executive Board. In the reporting year, no severance pay was paid to former members of executive bodies. In addition, no initial remuneration were paid to new members of the Executive Board. Information on the actual remuneration paid directly and indirectly to members of the Executive Board in the financial year 2024/25 is given in the table on page 140. In the reporting year, no remuneration was paid to former members of the Executive Board in connection with their former activities as members of the company's governing body. In addition, no remuneration not consistent with customary market conditions was paid to persons related to current or former members of the Executive Board. The PSUs allocated to Niklaus Ramseier during his membership of the Executive Board and in his function as CFO in financial year 2023/24 were vested early due to his retirement. This corresponds to the currently applicable regulations governing the Long-Term Incentive Plan.

1 The share-based remuneration is allocated after the General Meeting of Shareholders. The reported remuneration is therefore congruent with the allocation proposed at the General Meeting of Shareholders. The value of the allocation is calculated by multiplying the number of allocated PSU by the fair value at grant date of CHF 381.38 (according to the valuation of HCM International Ltd.).
2 As the performance-related remuneration of the Executive Board is approved retrospectively by the General Meeting, the amount remunerated for the financial year 2023/24 is shown for this component accordingly.
No loans or credits were granted to current or former members of the Board of Directors and the Executive Board or persons close to them during the reporting year. No such loans or credits were outstanding as of 31 March 2025.
The General Meeting of Shareholders on 26 June 2024 approved amendments to the Articles of Association. The Articles of Association of Ypsomed Holding AG provide for the following remuneration principles since the General Meeting of Shareholders on 26 June 2024:
Subject to the provisions of the Code of Obligations, the Board of Directors is entitled to pay all types of remuneration from the approved remuneration amounts.
Remuneration may be paid in cash, in contributions in kind and in rights to acquire equity securitites as well in rights to the allocation of equity securities. In particular, the Board of Directors determines the subscription as well as allocation conditions, vesting conditions, exercise conditions and periods, any vesting periods and fortfeiture conditions.
Pursuant to Art. 734e of the Swiss Code of Obligations, the table below states the comparable positions of the members of the Board of Directors and the Executive Board in other undertakings with commercial objectives. Mandates in undertakings that are controlled either directly or indirectly by Ypsomed Holding AG are not listed.

to the General Meeting of Ypsomed Holding AG, Burgdorf
We have audited the remuneration report of Ypsomed Holding AG (the Company) for the year ended 31 March 2025. The audit was limited to the information pursuant to article 734a-734f of the Swiss Code of Obligations (CO) in the tables marked 'audited' on pages 139 bis 144 of the remuneration report.
In our opinion, the information pursuant to article 734a-734f CO in the remuneration report (pages 139 bis 144) 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 tables marked 'audited' in the remuneration report, the consolidated financial statements, the 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. It is also charged with structuring the remuneration principles and specifying the individual remuneration components
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the information pursuant to article 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
