Report of the statutory auditor to the General Meeting of Oculis Holding AG, Zug
Report on the audit of the consolidated financial statements
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Oculis Holding AG and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at December 31, 2025, and the consolidated statement of loss, the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including material accounting policy information.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2025 and of its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards and comply with Swiss law.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Swiss law, International Standards on Auditing (ISA) 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 that are relevant to audits of the financial statements of public interest entities, as well as the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA Code), as applicable to audits of financial statements of public interest entities. We have also 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.

Our audit approach
|
|
Overview Overall group materiality: CHF 4,900 thousand The entities addressed by our full scope audit work as well as specific scope audit contribute to more than 9o% of the Group’s total operating expenses. As key audit matter the following area of focus has been identified: Research and development expenses and accruals related to product development related expenses
|
|
Materiality
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.
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.

|
|
Rationale for the materiality benchmark applied |
We chose loss before tax as the benchmark, to be aligned with the common practice in the U.S. for clinical stage life science companies. In addition, in our view, the applied benchmark is aligned with investors and Audit Committee expectations. |
|
|
Report of the statutory auditor to the General Meeting of Oculis Holding AG, Zug |

We agreed with the Audit Committee that we would report to them misstatements above CHF 490 thousand identified during our audit as well as any misstatements below that amount which, in our view, warranted reporting for qualitative reasons.
Audit scope
We designed our audit by determining materiality and assessing the risks of material misstatement in the consolidated 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.
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.
Key audit matters
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.
Research and development expenses and accruals related to product development related expenses
|
|
Key audit matter |
How our audit addressed the key audit matter |
|
|
As described in Notes 3(M), 7.(B) and 16 to the consolidated financial statements, research expenditures are recognized in expense in the year in which they are incurred. Research and development expenses consist mainly of personnel expenses (payroll and related expenses and share-based compensation expense), external service providers and other operating expenses. Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 were CHF 57.1 million, the majority of which related to external service providers. As disclosed by management, the Company conducts product research and development programs through third party vendors that include contract research organizations “CROs” and clinical research sites. The Company records accruals for estimated costs incurred or prepayments depending on the stage of completion of the product development and clinical research. Within accrued expenses, total accrued product development |
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the research and development expenses process. These procedures also included, among others, (i) testing accuracy and completeness of the report prepared by management to calculate the clinical accruals by obtaining and inspecting source documents, such as contracts, purchase orders and invoices, (ii) testing, on a sample basis, the completeness and accuracy of costs incurred for services that have been performed and for which the Company has been invoiced by comparing amounts to CRO contracts and invoices, and (iii) testing, on a sample basis, classification of research and development expenses. |
Report of the statutory auditor to the General Meeting of Oculis Holding AG, Zug |
4
related expenses as of December 31, 2025 amounted to CHF 13.2 million. The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to research and development expenses and accruals related to product development related expenses is a key audit matter are a high degree of auditor effort in performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence related to the Company’s research and development expenses and accruals. |

Other information
The Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, which has partially been made available to us with the 6-K and 20-F filings, (but does not include the financial statements and the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s reports thereon), which we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, and the full annual report, which is expected to be made available to us after that date.
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.
Board of Directors’ responsibilities for the consolidated financial statements
The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements, that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards 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.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements
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
Report of the statutory auditor to the General Meeting of Oculis Holding AG, Zug |
5
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, ISA 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.
As part of an audit in accordance with Swiss law, ISA and SA-CH, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
We communicate with the Board of Directors or its relevant committee regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the Board of Directors or its relevant committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them regarding all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.
From the matters communicated with the Board of Directors or its relevant committee, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period
Report of the statutory auditor to the General Meeting of Oculis Holding AG, Zug |
6
and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Report on other legal and regulatory requirements
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.

Oculis Holding AG
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
(All amounts presented in CHF thousands, except share numbers, unless otherwise noted)
Oculis Holding AG (“Oculis” or the “Company”) is a stock corporation (“Aktiengesellschaft”) with its registered office at Bahnhofstrasse 20, CH-6300, Zug, Switzerland. It was incorporated under the laws of Switzerland on October 31, 2022.
The Company controls seven wholly-owned subsidiaries: Oculis Operations Sàrl (“Oculis Operations”) with its registered office in Lausanne, Switzerland, which was incorporated in Zug, Switzerland on December 27, 2022, Oculis ehf (“Oculis Iceland”), which was incorporated in Reykjavik, Iceland on October 28, 2003, Oculis France Sàrl (“Oculis France”) which was incorporated in Paris, France on March 27, 2020, Oculis US, Inc. with its registered office in Newton MA, USA, which was incorporated in Delaware, USA, on May 26, 2020, Oculis HK, Limited (“Oculis HK”) which was incorporated in Hong Kong, China on June 1, 2021, Neurocol IP Sàrl (“Neurocol IP”), which was incorporated in Lausanne, Switzerland on December 4, 2025, and Neurocol Operations Sàrl (“Neurocol Operations”), which was incorporated in Lausanne, Switzerland on December 4, 2025. The Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries form the Oculis Group (the “Group”).
Oculis is a global late clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company with substantial expertise in therapeutics for the treatment of ophthalmic and neuro-ophthalmic diseases. Oculis is engaged in developing innovative drug candidates with the potential to address significant unmet medical needs for many eye-related and neuro-ophthalmic conditions. The Company’s mission is to save sight and improve eye care for patients worldwide and it intends to become a global leader in ophthalmic and neuro-ophthalmic therapeutics to realize this mission.
The consolidated financial statements of Oculis as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, were approved and authorized for issue by the Company’s Board of Directors on March 4, 2026.
The Group’s accounts are prepared on a going concern basis. To date, the Group has financed its cash requirements primarily from share issuances, as well as government research and development grants. The November and February 2025 offerings, as well as prior financing transactions raised funding to secure business continuity as explained under Note 5. The Board of Directors believes that the Group has the ability to meet its financial obligations for at least the next 12 months.
The Company is a late clinical stage company and is exposed to all the risks inherent to establishing a business, including the substantial uncertainty as to whether current projects will succeed. The Company’s success may depend in part upon its ability to (i) establish and maintain a strong patent position and protection; (ii) enter into collaborations with partners in the biotech and pharmaceutical industry; (iii) successfully move its product candidates through preclinical and clinical development; (iv) successfully obtain regulatory approval and commercialize its products; and (v) attract and retain key personnel. The Company’s success is subject to its ability to raise capital to support its current and future operations. To date, the Company has financed its cash requirements primarily through the sale of its preferred and ordinary shares and issuance of shares from warrants exercises. The Company will continue to evaluate additional funding through public or private financings, debt financing or collaboration agreements. The Company cannot be certain that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital when required or on acceptable terms, it may have to (i) significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development of one or more of its product candidates; (ii) seek collaborators for product candidates at an earlier stage than otherwise would be desirable and on terms that are less favorable than might otherwise be available; or (iii) relinquish or otherwise dispose of rights to product candidates that the Company would otherwise seek to develop itself, on unfavorable terms.
The consolidated financial statements of Oculis are prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

The policies set out below are consistently applied to all the years presented. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, unless stated otherwise in the accounting policies in Note 3.
The totals are calculated with the original unit amounts, which could lead to rounding differences. These differences in thousands of units are not changed in order to keep the accuracy of the original data.
The consolidated financial statements of the Group are expressed in Swiss Francs (“CHF”), which is the Company’s functional and the Group’s presentation currency. The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries is the local currency except for Oculis Iceland whose functional currency is CHF.
Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into CHF at the rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date and their statements of profit or loss are translated at average monthly exchange rates. The exchange differences arising on translation for consolidation are recognized in other comprehensive income.
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. The policies set out below are consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
The Company presents assets and liabilities on the balance sheet based on current/non-current classification. The Company classifies all amounts to be realized or settled within 12 months after the reporting period to be current and all other amounts to be non-current. Liabilities are classified as non-current if the Company has the unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency, CHF, using prevailing exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into CHF at rates of exchange prevailing at reporting date. Any gains or losses from these translations are included in the statements of loss in the period in which they arise.
The Company has seven wholly owned subsidiaries, including Oculis Operations, Oculis Iceland, Oculis France, Oculis U.S., Oculis HK, Neurocol IP and Neurocol Operations. The Company’s consolidated financial statements present the aggregate of the eight Group entities, after elimination of intra-group transactions, balances, investments and capital.
The Company is managed and operated as one business. A single management team that reports to the Chief Executive Officer comprehensively manages the entire business and accordingly, has one reporting segment.
The Company has locations in five countries: Switzerland, Iceland, France, U.S. and Hong Kong. An analysis of non-current assets by geographic region is presented in Note 6.
All leases are accounted for by recognizing a right-of-use asset and a lease liability except for leases of low value assets and leases with a duration of 12 months or less.
Lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the expected contractual payments due to the lessor over the lease term, with the discount rate determined by reference to the rate inherent in the lease unless this is not readily determinable, in which case the Group’s incremental borrowing rate on commencement date of the lease is used. Variable lease payments are only included in the measurement of the lease liability if they depend on an index or rate and remain unchanged throughout the lease term. Other variable lease payments are expensed.
14
On initial recognition, the carrying value of the lease liability also includes amounts expected to be payable under any residual value guarantee, and the exercise price of any purchase option granted in favor of the group if it is reasonably certain to assess that option. Right-of-use assets are initially measured at the amount of the lease liability, reduced for any lease incentives received, and increased for lease payments made at or before commencement of the lease and initial direct costs incurred.
Subsequent to the initial measurement, lease liabilities increase as a result of interest charged at a constant rate on the balance outstanding and are reduced for lease payments made. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the remaining expected term of the lease or over the remaining economic life of the asset if this is judged to be shorter than the lease term.
When the Company revises its estimate of the term of any lease, it adjusts the carrying amount of the lease liability to reflect the expected payments over the revised term, which are discounted using a revised discount rate. The carrying value of lease liabilities is similarly revised if the variable future lease payments dependent on a rate or index is revised. In both cases, an equivalent adjustment is made to the carrying value of the right-of-use asset, with the revised carrying amount being amortized over the remaining lease term. If the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is adjusted to zero, any further reduction is recognized in profit or loss.
Grant income is recognized where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attaching conditions will be complied with, and in the year when the related expenses are incurred.
Taxes reported in the consolidated statements of loss include current and deferred taxes on profit. Taxes on income are accrued in the same periods as the revenues and expenses to which they relate.
Deferred tax is the tax attributable to the temporary differences that appear when taxation authorities recognize and measure assets and liabilities with rules that differ from those of the consolidated accounts. Deferred income tax is calculated using the liability method and determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized, or the deferred income tax liability is settled. Any changes to the tax rates are recognized in the consolidated statements of loss unless related to items directly recognized in equity or other comprehensive loss.
Deferred income tax is recognized on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences or the unused tax losses can be utilized. Deferred income tax assets from tax credit carry forwards are recognized to the extent that the national tax authority confirms the eligibility of such a claim and that the realization of the related tax benefit through future taxable profits is probable. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.
The Company presents basic loss per share for each period in the financial statements. The loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss of the period by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share, applicable in case of positive result, reflect the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities such as warrants or share options were exercised into common shares.
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of less than 3 months at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value.
15
Short-term financial assets consist of fixed term bank deposits with original maturities between three and six months. Short-term financial assets are held in order to collect contractual cash flows made of payments of principal and interests.
Short-term financial assets are measured at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are subsequently measured using the effective interest method. This method allocates interest income over the relevant period by applying the effective interest rate to the carrying amount of the asset. Gains and losses are recognized in the consolidated statements of loss when the asset is derecognized, modified or impaired.
The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis, including warrants. Fair value is the price the Company would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with a market participant at the measurement date. The Company uses a three-level hierarchy that prioritizes fair value measurements based on the types of inputs used, as follows:
There was no change in the valuation techniques applied to financial instruments during all periods presented. There were no transfers between levels 1, 2 or 3 for recurring fair value measurements during the year. The Group recognizes transfers into and out of fair value hierarchy levels at the end of the reporting period.
All property and equipment are shown at cost, less subsequent depreciation and impairment. Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the useful life, according to the following schedule:
Category |
Useful life in years |
Laboratory equipment |
5 - 7 |
Laboratory fixtures and fittings |
10 |
Office equipment and hardware |
2 - 3 |
Leasehold improvements |
5 |
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date. An asset’s carrying amount is impaired immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposal or retirement of tangible fixed assets are determined by comparing the net proceeds received with the carrying amounts and are included in the consolidated statements of loss.
The Company recognizes the warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjusts the instruments to fair value at each reporting period (refer to Note 17). Any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of loss. Warrants are classified as short-term liabilities as the Company cannot defer the settlement beyond 12 months.
The Amended BlackRock Warrant, as defined in Note 5, issued in conjunction with the Amended Loan Agreement is classified as a liability since its exercise price is fixed in USD, which is not the functional currency of the Company and therefore it does not meet the requirements to be classified as equity under IFRS. An instrument that will be settled in the Company’s own equity shares is an equity instrument only if the issuer has to deliver a
16
fixed number of its own shares for a fixed amount (fixed for fixed requirement, IAS 32.16). The fair value of the BlackRock Warrant is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This valuation model as well as parameters used such as expected volatility and expected term are partially based on management’s estimates. The expected volatility is estimated using historical stock volatilities of comparable peer public companies within the Company’s industry. The expected term represents the period that the warrant is expected to be outstanding. The BlackRock Warrant is included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Refer to Note 17 - Warrant Liabilities.
The fair value of the BCA Public Warrants, as defined in Note 5, traded in active markets is based on the quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period for such warrants. For the BCA Private Warrants, which have identical terms to the BCA Public Warrants, the Company determined that the fair value of each BCA Private Warrant is equivalent to that of each BCA Public Warrant. BCA Public Warrants are included in Level 1 and BCA Private Warrants in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Refer to Note 17 - Warrant Liabilities.
Research expenditures are recognized in expense in the year in which they are incurred. Internal development expenditures are capitalized only if they meet the recognition criteria of IAS 38 “Intangible Assets.” Given the inherent regulatory and other uncertainties, these criteria are generally not met before obtaining approval from the relevant regulatory authority. As a result, development expenditures are typically recognized as expenses in the consolidated statements of loss. However, when capitalization criteria are satisfied, development costs are recorded as intangible assets and amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Amortization of capitalized licenses begins upon receipt of market approval. The Company records accruals for estimated costs incurred or prepayments depending on the stage of completion of the product development and clinical research.
Acquired licenses and related development milestones are capitalized as intangible assets at historical cost and amortized over their estimated useful lives. The amortization period is determined based on the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits and begins only after the necessary regulatory and marketing approvals have been obtained. Capitalized licenses are assessed for impairment annually in the last quarter of each financial period or earlier if indicators of impairment arise. Amortization expense related to capitalized licenses is recognized within research and development expenses.
Impairment losses on capitalized licenses are recognized within research and development expenses.
Assets that are subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use.
For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generate cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets (“cash-generating units”). Impairment losses are recognized in the consolidated statements of loss. Prior impairments of non-financial assets are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.
The principal financial instruments used by the Company are as follows:
17
These financial instruments are carried at amortized cost, except warrant liabilities which are adjusted to fair value at period end.
Due to their short-term nature, the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, short-term financial assets, other current assets, excluding prepaid expenses, accrued income, lease liabilities, trade payables, accrued expenses and other payables approximates their fair value. For details of the fair value hierarchy and valuation techniques, refer to Note 20.
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. These investments are readily convertible to known amounts of cash.
Short-term financial assets consist of fixed term bank deposits with original maturities between three and six months. Short-term financial assets are held in order to collect contractual cash flows made of payments of principal and interests.
The carrying amount of other receivables/current assets is reduced through the use of an allowance account, and the amount of the loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of loss. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to the consolidated statements of loss.
Grant income reflects reimbursement of research and development expenses and income from certain research projects managed by Icelandic governmental institutions. Certain expenses qualify for incentives from the Icelandic government in the form of tax credits or cash reimbursements.
Trade payables are amounts due to third parties in the ordinary course of business. Trade payables are non-interest bearing and are normally settled on 45-day terms.
Accrued expenses and other payables are amounts provided for / due to third parties in the ordinary course of business. Accrued expenses and other payables are non-interest bearing.
Lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the expected contractual payments due to the lessor over the lease term, with the discount rate determined by reference to the rate inherent in the lease unless this is not readily determinable, in which case the Group’s incremental borrowing rate on commencement date of the lease is used.
18
The Company operates a defined benefit pension plan for its Swiss-based employees, which is held in a multi-employer fund. The pension plan is funded by payments from employees and from the Company. The Company’s contributions to the defined benefit pension plan are charged to the consolidated statements of loss in the year to which they relate.
The liability recognized in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plan is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets and the possible effect of the asset ceiling, together with adjustments for unrecognized past-service costs. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method.
When the Company has a surplus in the defined benefit pension plan, it measures the net defined benefit asset at the lower of the surplus in the defined benefit pension plan, or the asset ceiling (being the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan), determined using the discount rate.
The Company does not expect any refunds or contribution reductions in case of a surplus in the defined benefit pension plan calculated per IAS 19, therefore no assets would be recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.
The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related pension liability.
Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to equity in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise.
Past-service costs are recognized immediately in income, unless the changes to the pension plan are conditional on the employees remaining in service for a specified period of time (the vesting period). In this case, the past-service costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
The Company operates an equity-settled, share-based compensation plan, under which the entity receives services from employees as consideration for equity instruments (e.g. options) of the Company. The fair value of the awards granted in exchange of the employee services received is recognized as an expense.
Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to vest. The total expense is recognized over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of each reporting period, the entity revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-market vesting conditions. It recognizes the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in the consolidated statements of loss, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. When options are exercised, the Company issues new shares. The proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs are credited to share capital (nominal value) and share premium when the options are exercised.
The Company recognized the earnout consideration under the BCA as a share-based contingent consideration within the scope of IFRS 2, and therefore equity classified as the earnout consideration ultimately settles in ordinary shares. The Company determined that the fair value of the earnout shares is accounted for as a component of the deemed cost of the listing services upon consummation of the Business Combination. The fair value of total consideration transferred was included in the calculation of the IFRS 2 share listing service expense and will not be subsequently adjusted regardless of whether the price target is achieved or not. The earnout options granted to employees were determined to be compensation for the dilution to their previously held Legacy Oculis equity
19
instruments. No subsequent compensation charge has been recognized under IFRS 2 because no additional fair value has been granted as a result of the earnout options.
The Company capitalizes transaction costs incurred in connection with its ATM program within other current assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet because those costs are directly attributable to new equity issuances and management estimates that a future financing is probably of occurring. If and when the Company completes a transaction, capitalized transaction costs will be offset against the proceeds and will be recorded as a reduction of share premium within the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. If the Company determines that it is not highly probable that a transaction will be completed, the Company will write-off capitalized transaction costs incurred during that respective quarter in the consolidated statement of loss.
Transaction costs incurred in connection with underwritten offerings are recorded as a reduction of share premium within the Company’s balance sheet during the period in which the transaction closes.
Effective January 1, 2025, the Company revised its accounting policy regarding the classification of interest paid and interest received in the statement of cash flows. Interest paid was reclassified from “net cash flows used in operating activities” to “net cash flows used in financing activities,” and interest received was reclassified from “net cash flows used in operating activities” to “net cash flows used in investing activities.” The Company assessed the change in accounting policy under IAS 8, in accordance with the guidance regarding a voluntary change in accounting policy.
The reclassification of interest paid was elected to provide a more cohesive presentation of payments related to the Company’s office leases. Prior to the change in accounting policy, interest paid on lease liabilities was classified as operating cash flows, while payments of the principal portion of lease liabilities were classified as financing cash flows. The change aligns the interest paid with the associated financial liability giving rise to the interest.
In addition, the Company reclassified interest received to investing activities, as the majority of interest received relates to interest earned on cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. The Company believes the updated classification better reflects the nature and source of the cash inflows.
The Company applied the change in accounting policy retrospectively and has recast prior periods’ comparative information within the statement of cash flows to ensure consistency and comparability with the current period presentation. As part of the retrospective application, net cash outflow from operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 increased by CHF 1.4 million, net cash outflow from investing activities decreased by CHF 1.5 million, and net cash flow inflow from financing activities decreased by CHF 54 thousand. As part of the retrospective application, net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2023 increased by CHF 1.2 million, net cash flow used in investing activities decreased by CHF 1.2 million, and net cash flow inflow from financing activities decreased by CHF 46 thousand.
There are no new IFRS Accounting Standards, amendments to standards or interpretations that are mandatory for the financial year beginning on January 1, 2025 that have a material impact to the Company. In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements, which provides requirements for the presentation and disclosure of information in general purpose financial statements. The standard is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027. The Company is in the process of evaluating whether IFRS 18 will have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. New standards, amendments to standards and interpretations that are not yet effective, which have been deemed by the Company as currently not relevant, are not listed here.
The Group’s principal accounting policies are set out in Note 3 of the Group’s consolidated financial statements and conform to IFRS Accounting Standards. Significant judgments and estimates are used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements which, to the extent that actual outcomes and results may differ from these assumptions and estimates, could affect the accounting in the areas described in this section.
20
The Group assesses whether there are any indicators of impairment for all licenses at each reporting date, which refers exclusively to the licenses of two specific product candidates: Licaminlimab (OCS-02) and Privosegtor (OCS-05). Given the stage and advancement of Oculis’ development activities and the importance of both products in Oculis’ portfolio, the impairment test is performed first on the basis of a fair value model for the entire Company using a market approach, and second on the basis of the continued development feasibility of the relevant product candidate. Refer to Note 9.
Deferred income tax assets are recognized for all unused tax losses and deductible temporary differences, including those related to intangible assets, only to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which the losses and temporary differences can be utilized. Judgment is required from management to determine the amount of tax asset that can be recognized, based on forecasts and tax planning strategies. Refer to Note 7 (D).
The present value of the pension obligations depends on several factors that are determined on an actuarial basis using a number of assumptions. The assumptions used in determining the net cost or income for pensions include the discount rate. Any changes in these assumptions will impact the carrying amount of pension obligations. The independent actuary of the Group uses statistic-based assumptions covering future withdrawals of participants from the plan and estimates on life expectancy. The actuarial assumptions used may differ materially from actual results due to changes in market and economic conditions, higher or lower withdrawal rates or longer or shorter life spans of participants. These differences could have a significant impact on the amount of pension income or expenses recognized in future periods.
The Group determines the appropriate discount rate at the end of each year. This is the interest rate used to determine the present value of estimated future cash outflows expected to be required to settle the pension obligations. In determining the appropriate discount rate, the Group considers the interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related pension liability. Other key assumptions for pension obligations are based in part on current market conditions. Refer to Note 12.
Stock options granted are valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model (see Note 13). This valuation model as well as inputs such as expected volatility and expected term of the stock options are partially based on management’s estimates. The expected volatility is estimated using historical stock volatilities of comparable peer public companies within the Company’s industry. The expected term represents the period that share-based awards are expected to be outstanding. The Company classifies its share-based payments as equity-classified awards as they are settled in ordinary shares. The Company measures equity-classified awards at their grant date fair value using a Black-Scholes option pricing model and does not subsequently remeasure them. Compensation costs related to equity-classified awards are equal to the fair value of the award at the date of grant amortized over the vesting period of the award using the graded method. If awards are granted with performance conditions, the Company evaluates the probability of achievement. Expense is only recorded for awards with vesting criteria linked to performance conditions that are deemed probable of achievement. The Company reclassifies a portion of vested awards to reserve for share-based payment as the awards vest. The proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs are credited to share capital (nominal value) and share premium when the options are exercised.
In relation to the 2023 Business Combination, the following critical estimates and judgments were made:
Despite EBAC being the legal acquirer, Legacy Oculis was determined to be the accounting acquirer for financial reporting purposes. This determination is primarily based on the fact that subsequent to the Business Combination, i) the shareholders of Legacy Oculis have a majority of the voting interest in the combined company; ii) Legacy
21
Oculis’ operations comprise all of the ongoing operations of the combined company; and iii) Legacy Oculis’ management comprise all of the senior management of the combined company.
EBAC was a Special Purpose Acquisition Company and therefore does not meet the definition of a business under IFRS 3 as it has no operations and the related BCA cannot be treated as a business combination. The Business Combination was accounted for as a continuation of Legacy Oculis financial statements with a deemed issuance of shares by the Company accompanied by a recapitalization of the Company’s equity. The excess of fair value of the shares deemed issued by the Company over EBAC’s identifiable net assets has been recorded as share-based payment expense in accordance with IFRS 2 and represents a public listing service received by the Company.
Legacy Oculis and EBAC incurred costs such as legal, accounting, auditing, printer fees and other professional fees directly related to the Business Combination (“Transaction Costs”). Transaction costs directly associated with equity issuance qualify for capitalization and are accounted for as a deduction of share premium. To capture costs associated with the new equity, the Company allocated capitalizable transaction costs to the various transaction components (equity issuance and listing) at the percentages of 38.0% and 62.0% for new shares and old shares, respectively.
Business combination with European Biotech Acquisition Corp. (“EBAC”)
On March 2, 2023, the Company consummated the Business Combination pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement (“BCA”) between Legacy Oculis and EBAC dated as of October 17, 2022. The Company received gross proceeds of CHF 97.6 million or $103.7 million, comprising CHF 12.0 million or $12.8 million of cash held in EBAC’s trust account and CHF 85.6 million or $90.9 million from private placement (the “PIPE Financing”) investments and conversion of notes issued by Legacy Oculis under convertible loan agreements (“CLA”) into Oculis’ ordinary shares. As a result of the transaction, each issued and outstanding EBAC public warrant (“BCA Public Warrants”) and EBAC private placement warrant (“BCA Private Warrants”) ceased to be a warrant with respect to EBAC ordinary shares and were assumed by Oculis as warrants with respect to ordinary shares on substantially the same terms (“BCA Warrants”). In connection with the Business Combination, Oculis was listed on the United States Nasdaq Global Market with the ticker symbol “OCS” for its ordinary shares and “OCSAW” for its public warrants.
During the third quarter of 2023, the Company gave effect in its financial statements to the dissolution of Merger Sub 2, a legal entity formed under the terms of the BCA. As a result, the cumulative translation adjustments related to Merger Sub 2 previously reported as equity and recognized in other comprehensive income, were reclassified from equity to the Consolidated Statement of Loss for the year ended December 31, 2023. The resulting foreign exchange impact of such reclassification amounted to CHF 5.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Merger and listing expense
The Business Combination was accounted for as a capital re-organization in the first quarter of 2023 within the scope of IFRS 2 Share-based Payment, as EBAC did not meet the definition of a business in accordance with IFRS 3 Business Combinations. Any excess of the fair value of the Company’s shares issued over the fair value of EBAC’s identifiable net assets acquired represented compensation for the service of a stock exchange listing. This expense was incurred in the first quarter of 2023 and amounted to CHF 34.9 million, which was expensed to the statement of loss as operating expenses, “Merger and listing expense.”
Earnout consideration
As a result of the BCA, Legacy Oculis preferred, ordinary and option holders (collectively “equity holders”) received consideration in the form of 3,793,995 earnout shares and 369,737 earnout options with an exercise price of CHF 0.01.
22
The earnout consideration is subject to forfeiture in the event of a failure to achieve the price targets during the earnout period defined as follows: (i) 1,500,000, (ii) 1,500,000 and (iii) 1,000,000 earned based on the achievement of post acquisition-closing volume weighted average share price targets of Oculis of $15.00, $20.00 and $25.00, respectively, in each case, for any 20 trading days within any consecutive 30 trading day period commencing after the acquisition closing date and ending on or prior to March 2, 2028 (the “Earnout Period”). A given share price target described above will also be deemed to be achieved if the Company enters into a change of control transaction, as defined in the BCA, during the Earnout Period. The price targets of $15.00, $20.00 and $25.00 were met in November 2024, February 2025 and February 2026, respectively resulting in an aggregate of 2,845,446 earnout shares vested and 159,453 earnout options outstanding and exercisable as of December 31, 2025, and an additional 948,549 earnout shares vested and 55,487 earnout options becoming exercisable in February 2026.
Registered Direct Offering and Nasdaq Iceland Main Market listing
On April 22, 2024, the Company closed its registered direct offering with gross proceeds of CHF 53.5 million or $58.8 million through the issuance and sale of 5,000,000 of our ordinary shares, at a purchase price of CHF 10.70 or $11.75 per share to investors (the “Registered Direct Offering”), and commenced trading of its ordinary shares on the Nasdaq Iceland Main Market under the ticker symbol “OCS” on April 23, 2024. In connection with the Registered Direct Offering and Nasdaq Iceland Main Market listing, the Company incurred CHF 2.5 million of transaction related costs during the year ended December 31, 2024, of which CHF 1.9 million were recorded as a reduction of share premium in equity.
Loan facility
In May 2024, the Company and Kreos Capital VII (UK) Limited, which are funds and accounts managed by BlackRock, Inc. (the “Lender”), entered into a loan facility of up to CHF 50.0 million in borrowing capacity (which may be increased to up to CHF 65.0 million) and a related warrant agreement for up to 361,011 of the Company’s ordinary shares at a price per ordinary share equal to $12.17. On July 31, 2025, the Company entered into an amended and restated agreement for its existing loan facility (the “Amended Loan Agreement”) with the Lender. The Amended Loan Agreement replaces the prior loan agreement between the Company and the Lender dated May 29, 2024, with an upsized structure to provide the EUR equivalent of up to CHF 75.0 million in borrowing capacity (which may be increased to up to CHF 100.0 million) (the “Loan”), comprising tranches 1, 2 and 3, in the amounts of the EUR equivalents of CHF 25.0 million each, as well as an additional loan of the EUR equivalent of up to CHF 25.0 million, which may be made available by the Lender to the Company if mutually agreed in writing by the Lender and the Company. No amounts were drawn under the Amended Loan Agreement during the year ended December 31, 2025.
Loan 1 will be available for drawdown from closing until November 15, 2026, which period may be shortened upon the occurrence of a development milestone. Loans 2 and 3 will be available for drawdown prior to November 15, 2026 and December 31, 2026, respectively, in each case subject to satisfaction of certain pre-specified conditions. The availability of any funds under a drawdown of Loans 1, Loan 2 or Loan 3 is conditional upon, together with other conditions, the Company having a debt-to-market cap ratio (where debt includes the amount of all amounts drawn down to date and the proposed drawdown) equal to or less than 15% at the time of each draw down. Pursuant to the Amended Loan Agreement, the Company is subject to a non-utilization fee of 0.75% per annum of any undrawn amount under tranches 1 and 2. Additionally, to the extent Loan 1 has not been drawn prior to its expiry date, an additional one-time fee of the EUR equivalent of CHF 2.6 million shall be payable, subject to certain conditions.
As additional consideration for the Loan, Kreos Capital VII Aggregator SCSp, an affiliate of the Lender (the “Holder”) and the Company entered into an amended warrant (the “Amended BlackRock Warrant”) to purchase up to 494,259 of the Company’s ordinary shares, subject to vesting, at a price per ordinary share equal to $12.17 (CHF 9.65) with respect to 361,011 shares from the prior warrant agreement, and $18.64 (CHF 14.78) with respect to the remaining 133,248 shares reflecting the upsized facility, subject to adjustment. The Amended BlackRock Warrant amends the prior warrant issued to Holder on May 29, 2024. As of the signing date, the Amended BlackRock Warrant is exercisable for 59,310 ordinary shares, of which 43,321 shares were previously granted. Following the drawdown of each of Loans 1, 2 and 3, the Amended BlackRock Warrant will become exercisable for additional amounts of ordinary shares ratably based on the amounts of Loans 1, 2 and 3 that are drawn. Each tranche of the Amended BlackRock Warrant in connection with Loans 1, 2 and 3, will be exercisable for a period of up to seven years from the date of vesting and the Amended BlackRock Warrant will terminate at the earliest of (i) December 31, 2033, (ii) such earlier date on which the Amended BlackRock Warrant is no longer exercisable for any warrant shares in accordance with its terms and (iii) the acceptance by the shareholders of the Company
23
of a third-party bona fide offer for all outstanding shares of the Company (subject to any prior exercise by the Holder, if applicable). The Amended BlackRock Warrant had not been exercised in part or in full as of December 31, 2025.
In connection with this transaction, the Company incurred CHF 0.7 million and CHF 0.8 million of transaction related costs during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which were capitalized as a prepayment for liquidity services and recorded within other current assets.
At-the-Market Offering Program
On May 8, 2024, the Company entered into a sales agreement with Leerink Partners, LLC (“Leerink Partners”) with respect to an at-the-market offering program (the “ATM Offering Program”) under which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time at its sole discretion, ordinary shares of the Company having an aggregate offering price of up to $100.0 million (CHF 79.3 million) through Leerink Partners as its sales agent. Any such sales, made through the sales agent, can be made by any method that is deemed an “at-the-market offering” as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or in other transactions pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form F-3. The Company agreed to pay Leerink Partners a commission of up to 3.0% of the gross proceeds of any sales of ordinary shares sold pursuant to the sales agreement. Following the execution of the agreement, the Company issued 1,000,000 ordinary shares during the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2,500,000 ordinary shares during the year ended December 31, 2025 out of its existing capital band, each with a nominal value of CHF 0.01 to be held as treasury shares. In connection with this transaction the Company incurred approximately CHF 0.3 million of transaction related costs during the year ended December 31, 2024, which were capitalized within other current assets.
On October 29, 2025, in conjunction with the November 2025 Offerings, the Company suspended the ATM Offering Program. The sales agreement with Leerink Partners remains in full force and effect. As of the date hereof, we have not sold any ordinary shares under the ATM Offering Program. Of the ordinary shares held as treasury shares, 2,796,297 were issued in connection with the November 2025 Offerings discussed below.

(1) Merger and listing expense is presented separately from research and development or general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of loss. The item relates to the BCA and is non-recurring in nature, representing a share-based payment made in exchange for a listing service.
Total operating expenses increased CHF 9.0 million from December 31, 2024 to December 31, 2025. The increase was driven by a CHF 5.0 million increase in research and development expense and a CHF 4.0 million increase in general and administrative expense year over year.
The increase in research and development expenses was primarily due to advancements in our late-stage development portfolio, including Privosegtor development activities and the DIAMOND clinical program. The cost increases were partially offset by a decline in Licaminlimab development costs due to the completion of RELIEF Phase 2 trial in 2024 and commencement of PREDICT registrational trial in late 2025.
The increase in general and administrative costs was primarily driven by personnel costs, specifically share-based compensation expense due to increased headcount and increased grant value for awards granted during the year ended December 31, 2025.

The Group’s expected tax expense for each year is based on the applicable tax rate in each individual jurisdiction, which ranged between 8.3% and 25.0% for 2025, 2024 and 2023 in the tax jurisdictions in which the Group operates. The weighted average tax rates applicable to the profits of the consolidated entities were 12.8%, 13.7% and 12.7% for the years 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease in 2025 primarily reflects changes in the composition of taxable results.
The tax on the Group’s profit / (loss) before tax differs from the statutory amount that would arise using the weighted average applicable tax rate as follows:

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Group changed its corporate structure and completed an intra-group sale of an intangible asset between two wholly-owned Swiss legal entities, generating an intra-group taxable profit of CHF 210.4 million. The intra-group sale of intangible asset combined with regular operational losses resulted in the use of CHF 160.6 million unrecognized tax losses to offset the taxable income in the transferring Swiss entity, resulting in a reconciling effect of use of unrecognized tax losses of CHF 22.5 million.
The transaction created future temporary difference of CHF 210.4 million in the receiving Swiss entity due to the differences between the statutory and the IFRS carrying values of the transferred intangible asset. The amortization of the transferred intangible asset will commence when the market approval for the underlying asset is obtained. Given the uncertainty in the realization of future taxable profits, no deferred tax asset on these future temporary differences has been recognized as of December 31, 2025.
As of December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Group has accumulated tax losses, primarily in Switzerland. These losses may be carried forward to offset future taxable profits of the Company until expiration. However, no deferred tax assets have been recognized related to these losses as of December 31, 2025 as the realization of sufficient future taxable profits is not considered probable. Additionally, as certain tax losses have not yet been validated by the tax authorities, they remain subject to potential adjustments. The combined effect of unrecognized tax losses and intangible asset temporary differences amounted to CHF 33.5 million. This does not affect management’s assumption on the going concern hypothesis of the Group. Below is the maturity of the Group reportable losses:

Intangible assets as of both December 31, 2025 and 2024 were CHF 13.3 million, and represented licenses purchased under license agreements with Novartis and Accure. The Novartis license agreement was dated as of December 19, 2018 between Legacy Oculis and Novartis and relates to a novel topical anti-TNFα antibody, renamed Licaminlimab, for ophthalmic indications. The license agreement between Legacy Oculis and Accure, dated as of January 29, 2022, relates to the exclusive global licensing of its Privosegtor (formerly ACT-01) technology. This license agreement contained an upfront payment of CHF 3.0 million and reimbursement of development related costs of CHF 0.5 million. During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company completed the Phase 2 ACUITY trial of Privosegtor in ON and received clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for its investigational new drug (“IND”). These events triggered milestone payments to Accure totaling CHF 1.1 million which were capitalized, increasing the value of the intangible asset. The next clinical and regulatory milestone under the Accure Agreement will trigger a payment of CHF 2.1 million ($2.6 million) that the Company expects to pay in 2026.
28
The products candidates related to the capitalized intangible assets are not yet available for use. The amortization of the licenses will start when the market approval is obtained.
Oculis performs an assessment of its licenses in the context of its annual impairment test. Given the stage of Oculis’ development activities and the importance of the relevant product candidates, Licaminlimab and Privosegtor, in Oculis’ portfolio, the impairment test is performed first on the basis of a fair value model for the entire Company using a market approach and second on the basis of the continued development feasibility of both candidates.
Oculis performs its annual impairment tests on its entire portfolio of research and development assets, by deriving the fair value from an observable valuation for the entire Company determined via its stock market price quoted in Nasdaq as per the reporting date. The fair value of the asset portfolio is derived by deducting the carrying value of tangible assets and the remaining assets, which consist primarily of short-term financial assets and cash and cash equivalents, from the Company valuation.
Licaminlimab and Privosegtor, are additionally tested for impairment by assessing their probability of success. Assessments include reviews of the following indicators, and if the candidate fails any of these indicators the entire balance is written off:
In 2025, 2024 and 2023, reviews of all these indicators for Licaminlimab and Privosegtor were positive. No impairment losses were recognized in 2025, 2024 or 2023.

The decrease in prepaid clinical and technical development expenses as of December 31, 2025 compared to prior year relates primarily to advancements of clinical trials. Specifically, the OCS-01 DIAMOND-1 and DIAMOND-2 trials in DME which started in December 2023 and February 2024, respectively, with enrollments completed in April 2025. The increase in prepaid general and administrative expenses is primarily due to capitalized transaction costs associated with the Company’s ATM Offering Program and Amended Loan Agreement.

Accrued income is generated by incentives for research and development offered by the Icelandic government in the form of tax credits for innovation companies. These tax credits are either used to reduce the company’s income tax liability or, if the credits exceed the tax due, they are paid out in cash. The tax credit is subject to companies having a research project approved as eligible for tax credit by the Icelandic Centre for Research (Rannís).
The Company’s Swiss pension plan is classified as a defined benefit plan under IFRS Accounting Standards. Employees of the Icelandic, French, Hong Kong and American subsidiaries are covered by local post-retirement contribution plans. Besides the Swiss plan, all other pension plans are not material to the Company’s consolidated financial position or results.
30
Switzerland pension plan
The Company’s Swiss entity is affiliated to a collective foundation administrating the pension plans of various unrelated employers that qualifies as defined benefit plan under IAS 19. For employees in Switzerland, the pension fund provides post-employment, death-in-service and disability benefits in accordance with the Swiss Federal Law on Occupational Retirement, Survivor’s and Disability Pension Plans which specifies the minimum benefits that are to be provided.
The pension plan of the Company’s Swiss entity is fully segregated from the ones of other participating employers. The collective foundation has reinsured all risks with an insurance company. The most senior governing body of the collective foundation is the Board of Trustees. All governing and administration bodies have an obligation to act in the interests of the plan beneficiaries.
The retirement benefits are based on the accumulated retirement capital, which is made of the yearly contributions towards the old age risk by both employer and employee and the interest thereon until retirement. The employee contributions are determined based on the insured salary, depending on the age, staff level and saving amount of the beneficiary. The interest rate is determined annually by the governing body of the collective plan in accordance with the legal framework, which defines the minimum interest rates.
If an employee leaves the pension plan before reaching retirement age, the law provides for the transfer of the vested benefits to a new pension plan. These vested benefits comprise the employee and the employer contributions plus interest, the money originally brought into the pension plan by the beneficiary and an additional legally stipulated amount. On reaching retirement age, the plan beneficiary may decide whether to withdraw the benefits in the form of an annuity or (entirely or partly) as a lump-sum payment. The annuity is calculated by multiplying the balance of the retirement capital with the applicable conversion rate.
All actuarial risks of the plan, e.g. old age, invalidity and death-in-service or investment, are fully covered by insurance. However, the collective foundation is able to withdraw from the contract with the Company at any time, in which case the Company would be required to join another pension plan. In addition, the risk premiums may be adjusted by the insurance company periodically.
The Company’s Swiss pension plan is fully reinsured with Swiss Life, therefore the plan assets are 100% covered by an insurance contract. The insurance company bearing the investment risk is also making these investments on behalf of the collective foundation. As a result, the assets of the plan consist of a receivable from the insurance police.
The assets are invested by the pension plan, to which many companies contribute, in a diversified portfolio that respects the requirements of the Swiss Law. The insurance policy has been treated as a qualifying insurance policy and therefore the pension assets are presented as one asset and are not desegregated and presented in classes that distinguish the nature and risks of those assets.

The Group expects to contribute CHF 0.7 million to its defined benefit pension plan in 2026. The average duration of the plan was 14.3 years and 14.6 years as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The principal assumptions used in determining pension benefit obligations for the Group’s plan are shown below:

In regard to the underlying estimates for the calculation of the defined benefit pension liabilities the Company updated, among other minor updates, the discount rate assumption to 1.30% and 1.00% and the future salary increase assumption from 1.00% to 0.75% as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. All the actuarial assumption changes resulted in an actuarial gain of defined benefit pension liabilities of CHF 0.6 million. The net result is a decrease of defined benefit pension liabilities from CHF 1.9 million as of December 31, 2024 to CHF 1.3 million as of December 31, 2025. Other assumptions for defined benefit pension liabilities remain unchanged.
In 2025, the guaranteed interest to be credited to employees’ savings remains consistent with 2024 at 1.10%. The rate for converting mandatory savings to an annuity remains stable at 5.40% for males and 5.57% for females in 2026 and increases to 5.71% for females in 2027. The rate for converting supplementary savings to an annuity remains stable at 4.49% for males and 4.67% for females in 2026 and increases to 4.82% in 2027.

The sensitivity analysis above is subject to limitations and has been determined based on a method that extrapolates the impact on net defined benefit obligation as a result of reasonable changes in key assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period.
On March 2, 2023, the Company adopted the Stock Option and Incentive Plan Regulation 2023 (the “2023 Plan”) which allows for the grant of equity incentives, including share-based options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and other awards. The 2023 Plan lays out the details for the equity incentives for talent acquisition and retention purposes.
Each grant of share-based options made under the 2023 Plan entitles the grantee to acquire ordinary shares from the Company with payment of the exercise price in cash. In the case of SARs, the intention of the Company is settling in equity. For each grant of share-based options or SARs, the Company issues a grant notice, which details the terms of the options or SARs, including number of shares, exercise price, vesting conditions and expiration date. Options granted under the 2023 Plan vest over periods ranging from one to four years and expire one day before the tenth anniversary of the grant date. The specific terms of each grant are set by the Board of Directors.
The 2023 Plan reflects the revised capital structure of the Company following completion of the Business Combination in March 2023. As a result, all option holders holding options under the prior Stock Option and Incentive Plan Regulation 2018 (the“2018 Plan”) prior to the close of the Business Combination exchanged their options held in Legacy Oculis for newly issued options to purchase ordinary shares of Oculis (“Converted Options”) and additional earnout options. The Converted Options continue to be subject to substantially the same terms and conditions except that the number of ordinary shares of Oculis issuable and related exercise prices were adjusted by the Exchange Ratio with all other terms remaining unchanged. The comparative fair value calculation of options using the Black-Scholes model before and after the merger concluded that there was no significant change in value. The exchange of equity awards under the prior 2018 Plan for equity awards under the 2023 Plan was determined to be a modification in accordance with IFRS 2 – Share-based payment. The Group has and will continue to record the related expense per the original valuation and vesting period without incremental charges.
Option awards and SARs
Each share-based option or SAR granted under the 2023 Plan entitles the grantee to acquire common shares from the Company with cash payment of the exercise price. For each grant of share-based options or SARs, the Company provides a grant notice which details the terms of the option, including exercise price, vesting conditions and expiration date. The terms of each grant are set by the Board of Directors.
The fair value of option awards and SARs is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the year ended December 31, 2025 was CHF 11.77 or $14.17 per share. The weighted average grant date fair value of options and SARs granted during the year ended December 31, 2024 was CHF 7.80 or $8.85 per share. The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the year ended December 31, 2023 was CHF 5.24 or $5.83 per share.
33
The Black-Scholes fair value of SARs was determined using assumptions that were not materially different from those used to value options. The following assumptions were used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for determining the fair value of options and SARs granted during the years indicated:

Restricted stock units
Each RSU granted under the 2023 Plan entitles the grantee to one ordinary share upon vesting of the RSU. The Company intends to settle all outstanding RSUs in equity. The fair value of RSUs is determined by the closing stock price on the date of grant and the related compensation cost is amortized over the vesting period of the award using the graded method. RSU’s have time-based vesting conditions ranging from one to four years. Certain RSU’s also include a performance condition, for which the Company has evaluated the probability of achievement. Expense is only recorded for awards with vesting criteria linked to performance conditions that are deemed probable of achievement. The following table summarizes the Company’s RSU activity under the 2023 Plan for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:

Restricted share awards
Each restricted share award (“RSA”) granted under the 2018 Plan was immediately exercised and the expense was recorded at fair value on the grant date in full. The Company held call options to repurchase shares diminishing ratably on a monthly basis over three years from grant date, the last of which expired during 2024. As of December 31, 2023, 98,094 RSA’s were subject to repurchase. No RSA’s were subject to repurchase at December 31, 2024 or 2025. For each grant of restricted shares, the Company issued a grant notice, which detailed the terms of the grant, including the number of awards, repurchase right start date and expiration date. The terms of each grant were set by the Board of Directors. No RSAs were granted under the 2023 Plan since plan adoption. No expense was recognized during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 or 2023 related to restricted stock awards.

The fair value of the public BCA Warrants, which are traded on Nasdaq, is based on the quoted Nasdaq market prices at the end of the reporting period for such warrants. Since the private placement BCA Warrants have identical terms to the public BCA Warrants, the Company determined that the fair value of each private placement BCA Warrant is equivalent to that of each public BCA Warrant. The public BCA Warrants are included in Level 1 and the private placement BCA Warrants in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The BCA Warrants are classified as short-term liabilities given that the Company cannot defer the settlement for at least 12 months.
37
The BlackRock Warrant, described in Note 5, is classified as a liability because its exercise price is fixed in USD, which is not the functional currency of the Company and therefore it does not meet the requirements to be classified as equity under IFRS. The fair value of the BlackRock Warrant is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and is included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The following assumptions were used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for determining the fair value of the BlackRock Warrant as of initial issuance date, December 31, 2024, Amended BlackRock Warrant issuance date and December 31, 2025 as indicated:

(1) The expected volatility was derived from the historical stock volatilities of comparable peer public companies within the Company’s industry.
(2) The expected term represents the period that the BlackRock Warrant is expected to be outstanding.
(4) The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the measurement date with maturities approximately equal to the expected terms.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized a fair value loss of CHF 12.3 million, primarily due to increase of the warrant share price. There were exercises of 1,929,467 warrant shares during the year ended December 31, 2025 at a price of CHF 9.55 or $11.50 per share, which resulted in a reduction of CHF 17.8 million to the warrant liability, an additional CHF 19.8 million of cash and an increase of CHF 37.8 million in shareholders’ equity. The warrant exercises, partially offset by the fair value loss resulted in a decrease of the warrant liability to CHF 14.5 million as of December 31, 2025. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized a fair value loss of CHF 15.5 million, leading to an increase of the warrant liability to CHF 19.9 million as of December 31, 2024. The exercise of 279,033 public warrants at a price of CHF 10.13 or $11.50 per share during the year ended December 31, 2024 resulted in a reduction of CHF 1.3 million to the warrant liability, an additional CHF 2.7 million of cash and an increase of CHF 4.1 million in shareholders’ equity.
In the event of an exercise, warrant liabilities are reduced by the fair value on the date of exercise. The resulting fair value adjustment and cash received are recorded to share premium within the statements of changes in equity. The movement of the warrant liabilities during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 is illustrated below:

If all remaining predefined milestones are reached, Oculis will be obligated to pay a total of CHF 87.9 million or $110.9 million. The next clinical and regulatory milestone under the Accure Agreement will trigger a payment of CHF 2.1 million ($2.6 million) that the Company expects to pay in 2026. In case of a commercialization, sublicense revenues will be subject to further royalty payments.
Commitments related to Rennes University Collaboration Research agreement
On January 31, 2022, the Company entered into a collaboration research agreement with the Rennes University and CNRS in France.

Fair values
Due to their short-term nature, the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, short-term financial assets, other current assets, excluding prepaid expenses, accrued income, trade payables and accrued expenses and other payables approximates their fair value.
The warrant liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, refer to Note 3.
Risk assessment
The Company maintains an internal control system that includes an annual financial reporting risk assessment. The ultimate responsibility of the risk management is of the Board of Directors and a yearly review takes place during one of the Board of Directors meetings.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.
As of December 31, 2025, if the listed price of the warrants had moved by 5.0% with all other variables held constant, the net loss for the period would have been lower/higher by CHF 0.7 million. As of December 31, 2024, the change would have been CHF 1.0 million.
Foreign currency risks
Since 2020, Oculis has established a presence in the U.S., France and Hong Kong with local currencies in U.S. Dollar (USD), Euro (EUR) and Hong Kong Dollar (HKD), respectively. In 2025, foreign currency risks primarily relate to cash and cash equivalents, short term financial assets, prepaid expenses, trade payables and accrued expenses denominated in U.S. Dollar and Euro, with immaterial amounts recorded in ISK and HKD.

The following table demonstrates the impact of a possible change in USD and EUR against CHF in regard to monetary assets and liabilities denominated in local functional currencies, as well as the impact of foreign currency risk on the Company’s consolidated net loss:

Interest rate risk
The financial instruments of the Group are not bearing interest and are therefore not subject to interest rate risk.
Hedging activities
There are no hedging activities within the Group.
Credit risk
As of December 31, 2025, the maximum exposure is the carrying amount of the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and short-term financial assets are mainly held with two financial institutions, each with a high credit rating of A+ assigned by international credit-rating agencies. Management focuses on diversification strategies and monitors counterparties’ ratings to minimize exposure.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. Liquidity management is performed by Group finance based on cash flow forecasts which are prepared on a rolling basis and focuses mainly on ensuring that the Group has sufficient cash to meet its operational needs. The Group’s liquidity needs have been historically satisfied through the issuance of preferred shares, the Business Combination, PIPE and CLA financings, and share offerings, discussed further in Note 5.
All of the Company’s financial instruments, except for the long-term portion of lease liabilities, are due within one year. The following table shows the total future obligations related to these financial instruments:

22. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
As a result of the BCA, Legacy Oculis equity holders received consideration in the form of 3,793,995 earnout shares and 369,737 earnout options with an exercise price of CHF 0.01. The earnout consideration is subject to forfeiture in the event of a failure to achieve the price targets during the earnout period defined as follows: (i) 1,500,000, (ii) 1,500,000 and (iii) 1,000,000 earned based on the achievement of post acquisition-closing VWAP targets of Oculis of $15.00, $20.00 and $25.00, respectively, in each case, for any 20 trading days within any consecutive 30 trading day period during the earnout period. In February 2026, the third price target of $25.00 was met, resulting in 55,487 earnout options becoming exercisable and the immediate vesting of 948,549 earnout shares.

Statutory Financial Statements
Oculis Holding AG
for the period ending December 31, 2025

Report of the statutory auditor to the General Meeting of Oculis Holding AG, Zug
Report on the audit of the financial statements
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Oculis Holding AG (the Company), which comprise the balance sheet as at December 31, 2025, and the profit and loss statement for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements comply with Swiss law and the Company’s articles of incorporation.
Basis for opinion
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 that are relevant to audits of the financial statements of public interest entities. We have also 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.
Our audit approach
Materiality
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 5,200 thousand |
|
|
Benchmark applied |
Total assets |
|
|
Rationale for the materiality benchmark applied |
We chose total assets as the benchmark, because, in our view, it is the benchmark against which the performance of the Company, which has limited operating activities and which mainly holds investments in subsidiaries and intra-group loans, is most commonly measured, and it is a generally accepted benchmark for holding companies. |
|
|
We agreed with the Audit Committee that we would report to them misstatements above CHF 520 thousand identified during our audit as well as any misstatements below that amount which, in our view, warranted reporting for qualitative reasons.
Audit scope
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.
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.
Key audit matters
We have determined that there are no key audit matters to communicate in our report.
Other information
The Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, which has partially been made available to us with the 6-K and 20-F filings, (but does not include the financial statements and the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s reports thereon), which we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, and the full annual report, which is expected to be made available to us after that date.
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.
2 Report of the statutory auditor to the General Meeting of Oculis Holding AG, Zug
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.
Board of Directors’ responsibilities for the financial statements
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.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
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.
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:
3 Report of the statutory auditor to the General Meeting of Oculis Holding AG, Zug
We communicate with the Board of Directors or its relevant committee regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the Board of Directors or its relevant committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them regarding all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.
From the matters communicated with the Board of Directors or its relevant committee, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Report on other legal and regulatory requirements
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' proposal complies with Swiss law and the Company’s articles of incorporation. We recommend that the financial statements submitted to you be approved.

3. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation
The statutory Financial Statements of Oculis, with registered office in Zug, Switzerland, were prepared according to the principles of the Swiss Law on Accounting and Financial Reporting (32nd title of the Swiss Code of Obligations). Where not prescribed by law, the significant accounting and valuation principles applied are described below.
Oculis is presenting its Consolidated Financial Statements according to IFRS (“IFRS Accounting Standards”). As a result, Oculis has applied the exemption included in art. 961d of the Swiss Code of Obligations and has not included additional disclosures and a cash flow statement in its Statutory Financial Statements.
Going concern
Oculis accounts are prepared on a going concern basis. To date, the Group has financed its cash requirements primarily from share issuances, as well as government research and development grants. The recent Registered Direct Offering and listing on the NASDAQ Iceland Main Market in April 2024, as well as the February and November 2025 follow-on offerings discussed in Note 2 raised funding to secure business continuity. The Board of Directors believes that cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of December 31, 2025, will be sufficient to fund the Group’s operations and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are valued at nominal value.
Investments
Investments are initially recognized at cost, assessed annually for impairment triggers, and adjusted to their recoverable amount as needed.
Loans to group subsidiaries
Short and long term loans to Oculis Group subsidiaries are valued at nominal value under consideration of any impairment if needed.
Foreign currency
The Company's books are expressed in Swiss Francs (CHF). During the year, transactions denominated in foreign currencies are converted into Swiss Francs at the rate in effect at the transaction date. At year-end, assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are converted into Swiss Francs using the year-end exchange rates. Realized and unrealized exchange gains and losses are recorded net as financial income or financial expenses.
Warrants
Liabilities related to warrants are recorded at nominal value. Given warrants have no nominal or intrinsic value, these are not recognized in the statutory Financial Statements. The exercise of warrants by their holders does not lead to any cash outflows from the Company.
Earnout consideration
In accordance with the BCA (note 2), Legacy Oculis preferred, ordinary and option holders (collectively “equity holders”) received consideration in the form of 3,793,995 earnout shares and 369,737 earnout options with an exercise price of CHF 0.01. The earnout consideration is subject to forfeiture in the event of a failure to achieve the price targets during the earnout period defined as follows: (i) 1,500,000, (ii) 1,500,000 and (iii) 1,000,000 earned based on the achievement of post-acquisition volume weighted average share price targets (“VWAP”) of Oculis of CHF 11.89 or $15.00, CHF 15.86 or $20.00 and CHF 19.82 or $25.00, respectively, in each case, for any 20 trading days within any consecutive 30 trading day period commencing after the acquisition closing date and ending on or prior to March 2, 2028. A given share price target described above will also be deemed to be achieved if there is a change of control transaction, as defined in the BCA.
The earnout shares have been registered in the Registry of Commerce of the Canton of Zug and are included in the number of outstanding shares as of December 31, 2025. The earnout shares are recorded at nominal value. Upon meeting the criteria, Oculis would not further increase its reserve from capital contribution. The price targets of $15.00 or CHF 11.89, $20.00 or CHF 15.86 and $25.00 or CHF 19.82 were met in November 2024, February 2025 and February 2026, respectively, resulting in an aggregate of 2,845,446 earnout shares
5
vested and 159,453 earnout options outstanding and exercisable as of December 31, 2025, and an additional 948,549 earnout shares vested and 55,487 earnout options becoming exercisable in February 2026.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded CHF 20.5 million of other operating expenses, as compared to CHF 11.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase is primarily related to professional fees incurred related to the February 2025 and November 2025 Offerings.

For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had approximately CHF 7.4 million and CHF 4.0 million, respectively, of interest income from the intercompany loan, as described in Notes 6 and 7. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the foreign currency exchange loss of CHF 19.0 million is primarily related to overall weakening of the U.S. dollar against the Swiss Franc on intra-group loans denominated in U.S. dollars.

6. OTHER RECEIVABLES
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had other current receivables of CHF 10.7 million, compared to CHF 2.9 million as of December 31, 2024. The increase is primarily related to higher loan interest on both USD and CHF loans due to higher loan balances, refer to Note 5.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had recognized accrued income from the intercompany loan interest (as described in Note 5). The interest had not been billed to the Oculis Operations subsidiary as it related to the CHF 146.0 million subordinated portion of the intercompany loan at December 31, 2024, as per the subordination agreement then in effect signed between both entities. As of December 31, 2025 no subordination was in effect, and accordingly no interest income was accrued on the intercompany loan.
