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” is immaterial as of December 31, 2022, and predominantly consisted of a fixed deposit amounting to CHF 250.0 million at a bank with a good rating in prior year, 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.
