Notes to the Consolidated interim Financial Statements
1 Segment information
The Group Executive Board is the Groupʼs chief operating decision maker. Bellevue Group is exclusively focused on the asset management business and therefore reports only one reportable segment as of June 30, 2026. Until September 30, 2025, the reportable segment comprised the operating business units Bellevue Asset Management and Bellevue Private Markets, which were aggregated due to their similar economic characteristics. Accordingly, the results of both business units were monitored by the Group Executive Board both on a consolidated basis and separately. On September 30, 2025, a significant subsidiary of the Bellevue Private Markets business unit was disposed of. As a result, the relevance of the remaining activities of the Bellevue Private Markets business unit decreased significantly. Since then, the Group Executive Board and the Board of Directors no longer regularly review the Bellevue Private Markets business on a separate basis; in particular, no separate financial reporting is prepared.

- Regulated funds: after the end of the calendar year

No transfer between levels of the fair value hierarchy took place in the first half of 2026 or in the comparable period of the previous year.
Level 1 instruments
If a financial instrument is traded in an active market, its fair value is based on listed market prices. In the fair value hierarchy prescribed in IFRS 13, this type of financial instrument is classified as a level 1 instrument. The fair value of these positions corresponds to the current price (e.g. settlement price or closing price) multiplied by the number of units of the financial instruments held.
Level 2 instruments
If there is no active market, the fair value is determined on the basis of valuation models or other generally accepted valuation methods. The instruments categorised as Level 2 are regulated investment funds. These funds publish a daily net asset value (NAV), but there is no active market for the trading of fund units in these investment funds. The valuation of the single fund units is based on the published NAVs. The valuation of these published NAVs is mainly determined by the listed investments held by the investment funds and therefore by parameters that are directly or indirectly observable on the market.
Level 3 instruments
If at least one significant input cannot be observed directly or indirectly in the market, the instrument is classified as a level 3 instrument. These instruments include private-equity funds and contingent consideration.
The fair value of private equity funds is determined based on the last available net asset values, taking into account any value adjustments according to own assessment.
The fair value of contingent consideration arising from the disposal of subsidiaries is determined using a discounted cash flow model. The valuation is based on expected future cash flows, which are discounted using a risk-adjusted discount rate.

Bellevue Group generally tests goodwill for impairment annually, based on the estimated recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit or group of cash-generating units to which the goodwill is allocated. If events or changes in circumstances indicate a possible impairment, the impairment test is performed more frequently. Further information on the determination of the recoverable amounts is disclosed in note 3.6 to the 2025 Annual Report. As of June 30, 2026 Bellevue Group did not identify any indications of impairment of goodwill.
The goodwill as of June 30, 2026 is fully attributable to the CGU group Bellevue Asset Management (Bellevue Asset Management AG, CHF 23.8 million and Bellevue Asset Management (Deutschland) GmbH, CHF 10.6 million).

4 Significant estimates, assumptions and judgments
4.1 Estimates, assumptions and the exercising of discretion by management
The preparation of the consolidated interim financial statements requires management to make assumptions and estimates that have an impact on the balance sheet values and items of the income statement in the current financial period. In certain circumstances, the actual values may diverge from these estimates. The main assumptions and estimates made in drawing up the condensed consolidated interim financial statements conformed to Group-wide accounting principles and were based on the assumptions applied on December 31, 2025.
5 Risk management and risk control
Bellevue Group’s activity is subject to multiple financial risks including market, credit, forex, liquidity and refinancing risks. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include the full information on the above mentioned risks, which the consolidated financial statements are required to present. These interim financial statements should therefore be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in the 2025 Annual Report.
6 Guarantees and contingent liabilities

7 Events after the balance sheet date
No events have occurred since the balance sheet date that would have a material impact on the information provided in the interim consolidated financial statements as at June 30, 2026 and would therefore need to be disclosed.

10 Accounting principles
10.1 Basis of presentation
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Bellevue Group AG, Zürich, have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 «Interim Financial Reporting». As they do not contain all of the information and disclosures required in the consolidated annual report these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated annual financial statement for the year ended December 31, 2025. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the consolidated annual financial statements.
10.2 New standards and interpretations
The following new or revised standards and interpretations did not have any material effects on Bellevue Group when first applied on January 1, 2026, or were of no relevance to Bellevue Group:
