Level 1 – The fair value measurement of same financial instruments is based on quoted prices in active markets.

 

Level 2 – The fair value measurement of same financial instruments is based on observable market data, other than quoted prices in Level 1.

 

Level 3 – Valuation technique using non-observable data.
For the category “amortized costs” it is expected that the carrying amounts are a reasonable approximation of the respective fair values, except for the position “bonds”.

Excluding prepayments and current tax assets.

Since the position “marketable securities and short-term financial assets” as of December 31, 2021, predominantly consists of a fixed deposit (CHF 250.0 million) at a bank with a good rating (in prior year CHF 250.0 million), the risk for impairment is considered negligible and therefore no expected loss allowance is provided for this position.

The position “other receivables” mainly represents indirect tax receivables such as VAT, receivables against insurances or other authorities, thus the impairment risk for this position is as well assessed as immaterial.
