Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(in CHF thousands, except share and per share amounts)

1.Corporate information

AC Immune SA was founded in 2003. The Company controls a fully-owned subsidiary, AC Immune USA, Inc. (“AC Immune USA” or “Subsidiary” and, together with AC Immune SA, “AC Immune,” “ACIU,” “Company,” “we,” “our,” “ours,” “us”), which was organized under the laws of Delaware, USA in June 2021. The Company and its Subsidiary form the Group.

AC Immune SA is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company leveraging our two proprietary technology platforms to discover, design and develop novel proprietary medicines and diagnostics for prevention and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases (NDD) associated with protein misfolding. Misfolded proteins are generally recognized as the leading cause of NDD, such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD), with common mechanisms and drug targets, such as amyloid beta (Abeta), Tau, alpha-synuclein (a-syn) and TDP-43. Our corporate strategy is founded upon a three-pillar approach that targets (i) AD, (ii) focused non-AD NDD including Parkinson’s disease, ALS and NeuroOrphan indications and (iii) diagnostics. We use our two unique proprietary platform technologies, SupraAntigen (conformation-specific biologics) and Morphomer (conformation-specific small molecules), to discover, design and develop novel medicines and diagnostics to target misfolded proteins.

The Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of AC Immune SA as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 were authorized for issuance by the Company’s Audit and Finance Committee on August 4, 2025.

2.Basis of preparation and changes to the Company’s accounting policies

Statement of compliance

These Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2025 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 (IAS 34), Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), and such financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements in AC Immune’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Critical judgments and accounting estimates

The preparation of the Company’s Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with IAS 34 requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes, and the related application of accounting policies as it relates to the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.

The areas where AC Immune has had to make judgments, estimates and assumptions relate to (i) revenue recognition on Licensing and Collaboration Agreements (LCAs), (ii) clinical development accruals, (iii) net employee defined benefit liability, (iv) share-based compensation, (v) right-of-use assets and lease liabilities and (vi) our IPR&D asset (intangible asset). Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

Fair value of financial assets and liabilities

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are composed of receivables, short-term financial assets, cash and cash equivalents, trade payables, and lease liabilities. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their respective carrying values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments, and are held at their amortized cost in accordance with IFRS 9, unless otherwise explicitly noted.

Accounting policies, new standards not yet effective, interpretations and amendments adopted by the Company

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (IFRS 18). The new standard on presentation and disclosure in the financial statements will change the structure of the statement of profit or loss, require disclosures for certain profit or loss performance measure that are reported outside of the financial statements, and will enhance principles on aggregation and disaggregation within the notes to the financial statements. This new standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning on January 1, 2027 and will require retroactive adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the new standard to determine how it will impact the presentation and disclosure in its financial statements.

Going concern

The Company believes that it will be able to meet all of its obligations as they fall due for at least 12 months from the filing date of this Form 6-K, after considering the Company’s cash position of CHF 25.7 million and short-term financial assets of CHF 101.4 million as of June 30, 2025. Hence, these unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis.

To date, the Company has financed its cash requirements primarily from its public offerings, share issuances, contract revenues from its LCAs and grants. The Company is a clinical stage company and is exposed to all the risks inherent to establishing a business. Inherent to the Company’s business are various risks and uncertainties, including the substantial uncertainty as to whether current projects will succeed and our ability to raise additional capital as needed. These risks may require us to take certain measures such as delaying, reducing or eliminating certain programs. 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 pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries, (iii) successfully move its product candidates through clinical development, (iv) attract and retain key personnel and (v) acquire capital to support its operations.

3.1Licensing and collaboration agreements

For a discussion of our licensing and collaboration agreements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, please refer to Note 14.1 “Licensing and Collaboration agreements” of our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed on March 13, 2025.

Anti-Abeta Active Immunotherapy in AD – 2024 agreement Takeda Pharmaceuticals, USA, Inc.

In May 2024, the Company entered into a worldwide option and license agreement with Takeda Pharmaceuticals, USA, Inc. (Takeda) for our active immunotherapies targeting Abeta, including ACI-24.060 for the treatment of AD. AC Immune will be responsible for completing the ABATE trial. Following option exercise, Takeda would conduct and fund all further clinical development and be responsible for all global regulatory activities as well as worldwide commercialization. Under the terms of the agreement, AC Immune received an upfront payment of USD 100.0 (CHF 92.3) million in May 2024 and is eligible to receive an option exercise fee in the low-to-mid nine-figure USD range and additional potential development, commercial and sales-based milestones of up to approximately USD 2.1 (CHF 1.7) billion if all related milestones are achieved over the course of the agreement. Upon commercialization, AC Immune will be entitled to receive tiered mid-to-high teens percentages royalties on worldwide net sales.

Under the terms of the agreement, Takeda may terminate the agreement at any time by providing 90 days’ notice to the Company. If not otherwise terminated, the agreement shall continue until Takeda decides not to exercise its license option or until the expiration of all royalty obligations as outlined in the contract.

AC Immune assessed this arrangement in accordance with IFRS 15 and concluded that Takeda is a customer. The Company identified the following performance obligations under the contract: (i) a license option and (ii) development, chemistry, manufacturing, and controls (“CMC”) and regulatory activities as outlined in the development and CMC plans, which are necessary to deliver the data package to Takeda. AC Immune concluded that the license option is considered a material right, as the value of the license exceeds the option exercise fee, thereby considering it a distinct performance obligation. The development, CMC, and regulatory activities are treated as one distinct performance obligation because the underlying activities are not distinguishable in the context of the contract and are inputs to an integrated development program that will generate valuable data and information for Takeda in determining whether to exercise the option.

At the agreement's execution, the transaction price included only the upfront and non-refundable consideration of USD 100.0 (CHF 92.3) million. At inception, none of the development milestones, which may occur prior to the Takeda option exercise, were included in the transaction price, as all milestone amounts were fully constrained. The Takeda

7

option exercise payment and any future development and commercial milestone payments, and royalties following the Takeda option exercise were excluded from the initial transaction price at contract inception. The option exercise fee is considered variable consideration as it depends on Takeda's decision to exercise. In assessing that future development or commercial milestones are fully constrained, the Company considered numerous factors, including that the receipt of these milestones is contingent upon success in future clinical trials and the licensee’s efforts, and thus not highly probable to obtain. Any consideration related to sales-based milestones (including royalties) will be recognized when the related sales occur, as they predominantly relate to the license that will be granted to Takeda upon exercise and therefore have also been excluded from the transaction price. The Company will re-evaluate the transaction price in each reporting period as uncertain events are resolved or other changes in circumstances occur.

The valuation of each performance obligation involves estimates and assumptions, with the timing of revenue recognition determined by either delivery or the provision of services. In line with the allocation objective under IFRS 15, the Company allocated the USD 100.0 (CHF 92.3) million upfront payment within the transaction price to the license option and development, CMC, and regulatory activities, using the relative stand-alone selling price method. For the standalone selling price of the license option, the Company utilized an income-based approach, which included key assumptions such as the post-option development timeline and costs, revenue forecasts, discount rates, and probabilities of development and regulatory success. The standalone selling price for the development, CMC and regulatory activities was calculated using a cost-plus margin approach based on the estimated development timeline. The Company allocated the transaction price based on the relative standalone selling prices, assigning USD 87.4 (CHF 80.7) million to the license option and USD 12.6 (CHF 11.6) million to development, CMC, and regulatory activities.

The Company has deferred revenue recognition for the license option and will recognize the entirety of the revenue either when the option is exercised and Takeda obtains the exclusive license, or when the option expires. The Company will recognize revenue related to the development, CMC and regulatory performance obligation over the estimated period of completion of these obligations, using an input method reflecting the costs incurred relative to the total costs expected to be incurred.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded contract revenue of CHF 1.3 million and CHF 2.3 million, respectively, reflecting its efforts under this agreement. As of June 30, 2025, the Company recorded CHF 87.3 million in deferred contract revenue related to the unsatisfied performance obligations under this agreement. The deferred contract revenue allocated to the license option is classified as short-term on the condensed consolidated balance sheets because, in accordance with IAS 1, the Company does not have the right to defer the settlement of that portion for at least twelve months after the reporting period. The deferred contract revenue allocated to development, CMC, and regulatory activities will be recognized over the remaining performance period and classified as either current or non-current on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, based on the expected timing of satisfaction of the performance obligations.

6.Right-of-use assets, long-term financial assets and lease liabilities

AC Immune recognized no additions for its right-of-use of leased assets for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Regarding lease liabilities, the amortization depends on the rate implicit in the contract or the incremental borrowing rate for the respective lease component. The weighted averages of the incremental borrowing rates are 3.5% for buildings, 3.3% for office equipment and 7.2% for IT equipment, respectively.

13.Finance result, net

For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the net finance result amounted to a loss of CHF 1.8 million in each period. The loss in both periods is primarily due to unfavorable foreign currency exchange differences related to movement in the CHF versus foreign currencies, predominantly the US Dollar. These losses are partially offset by the financial income due to interest received on net investments in short-term financial assets.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the net finance result amounted to CHF 1.5 million and a gain of CHF 0.4 million in net financial gains, respectively. The decrease in 2025 is primarily related to increased unfavorable exchange differences in the current period compared the prior year-to-date balance, driven by movement in the CHF versus foreign currencies, predominantly the US Dollar.

14.Subsequent events

Management has evaluated subsequent events after the balance sheet date, through the issuance of these Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, for appropriate accounting and disclosures. The Company has determined that there were no other such events that warrant disclosure or recognition in these Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Business Overview

Our goal is to continue leveraging our proprietary discovery platforms, SupraAntigen and Morphomer, to shift the treatment paradigm for neurodegenerative diseases towards Precision Medicine and disease prevention. We are executing a clear business strategy built on three pillars: (i) accelerate development of novel therapeutics in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) with our partners; (ii) expand our strategic focus in Parkinson’ disease (PD) and non-AD neurodegenerative diseases, including NeuroOrphan indications and limbic predominant age related TDP-43 encephalopathy (LATE); and (iii) a continued focus on diagnostics enabling Precision Medicine to be an ultimate differentiator for the Company.

Our three-pillar execution strategy reflects our unique Precision Medicine approach, which ultimately creates differentiation due to our ability to address the high levels of co-pathologies present in AD and other neurodegenerative diseases. Much like cancer, neurodegenerative diseases are heterogeneous and may require multiple therapeutic interventions tailored to patients’ specific disease drivers, to be used in combination in order to slow or stop the disease course. Ultimately, it is our belief that Precision Medicine will increase the chance of treatment success by enabling clinical trial participants to be better defined by their various proteinopathies, allowing for treatment with the right therapies at the right time.

Leveraging our dual proprietary technology platforms, SupraAntigen and Morphomer, we have built a comprehensive pipeline of first-in-class or best-in-class candidates spanning multiple treatment modalities and targeting both established and emerging neurodegenerative pathologies. We are currently advancing therapeutic and diagnostic programs, targeting five different types of misfolded pathological proteins related to AD, PD and other neurodegenerative disorders. Our pipeline assets are further validated by the multiple partnerships we have established with leading global pharmaceutical companies. We believe our clinically validated technology platforms and multi-target, multimodal approach position AC Immune to revolutionize the treatment paradigm for neurodegenerative disease by shifting it towards Precision Medicine and disease prevention.


Our clinical-stage product candidates include:

ACI-24.060 for AD and for AD in DS. ACI-24.060 is AC Immune’s anti-Abeta active immunotherapy being evaluated in patients with AD and in subjects with DS. ACI-24.060 contains Abeta unrelated T-helper cell epitopes to increase the magnitude and the boostability of the antibody response against pathological Abeta. It has demonstrated tolerability and immunogenicity in mouse and NHP studies. ACI-24.060 is currently being tested at 3 different incremental doses in the ABATE Phase 1b/2 trial (NCT05462106) and amyloid plaque reduction is being assessed using Abeta-PET imaging.

ABATE is a multicenter, adaptive, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study designed to assess the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, and pharmacodynamic effects of ACl-24.060 in subjects with prodromal AD and in adults with Down Syndrome (DS) with evidence of brain amyloid plaques at PET scan. The Clinical Trial Application (CTA) was approved by the UK Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) and Spanish Agency for Medicines and Health Products (AEMPS) with the first AD patient dosed in June 2022. In June 2023, AC Immune received Fast Track designation from the FDA for ACI-24.060, for the treatment of AD. This followed FDA clearance of the Investigational New Drug (IND) application in May 2023 enabling the ABATE study to include clinical trial sites to enroll participants with DS in the U.S. Based on the safety profile and induction of an anti-Abeta antibody response post-dosing of ACI-24.060 in patients with AD, dosing of the first individual with DS occurred in June 2023. ACI-24.060 has been shown to be generally well tolerated in individuals with AD and with Down syndrome, noting in particular that no case of Amyloid-Related Imaging Abnormalities-vasogenic edema (ARIA-E) has been reported at brain MRI in these two study populations. Based on data available as of June 2025, there has been no death. In subjects with AD, two serious adverse events are considered possibly related to the study treatment.

Preliminary insights from blinded cohorts AD1, AD2 and AD3 showed that ACI-24.060 induced immunogenicity at all tested doses in AD subjects, with higher doses showing increased anti-Abeta1-42 IgG titers and responder rates. Repeated immunizations led to a boosting effect across all dose levels and cohorts AD2 and AD3 showed a more durable and sustained immune response (Post, AD/PD 2025).

As announced on May 13, 2024, this program is the subject of an exclusive option and license agreement with Takeda Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. (Takeda). Under the terms of the agreement, AC Immune received an upfront payment of USD 100.0 (CHF 92.3) million from Takeda and is eligible to receive payments of up to approximately USD 2.1 (CHF 1.7) billion including an option exercise fee in the low-to-mid nine-figure USD range and potential development, commercial and sales-based milestone payments. Upon commercialization, AC Immune will be entitled to receive tiered mid-to-high teens percentages royalties on worldwide net sales. Further details related to the agreement are available on the Current Report on Form 6-K furnished by the Company on May 13, 2024 with the SEC.

ACI-7104.056. ACI-7104.056, our active immunotherapy targeting pathological a-syn, is currently being tested in a placebo-controlled, double-blind, adaptive, biomarker-based Phase 2 study (VacSYn; NCT06015841) in the EU and in the UK. This trial is evaluating the safety and immunogenicity of ACI-7104.056 against a-syn and pathological a-syn species in early PD. Additionally, disease-specific imaging and fluid biomarkers and progression of motor and non-motor symptoms of PD will be monitored. The VacSYn trial commenced in July 2023 with the dosing of the first patient and is progressing well with over 30 patients randomized in Part 1 of the study. Interim analyses have shown that ACI-7104.056 induces strong anti-a-synuclein antibody levels on average over 20-fold higher than placebo after 4 immunizations. ACI-7104.056 is well tolerated with no safety issues related to the study drug reported to date. Further interim results may be reported in H2 2025 including pharmacodynamic data. AC Immune may decide to initiate Part 2 of VacSYn with up to 150 patients.
ACI-35.030 (JNJ-64042056 also now referred to as JNJ-2056). AC Immune and Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Janssen), part of Johnson & Johnson, evaluated the anti-phosphorylated-Tau (anti-pTau) active immunotherapy ACI-35.030 in a Phase 1b/2a study in subjects with early AD (NCT04445831). Results showed that ACI-35.030 immunization generated a rapid antibody response (anti-pTau, anti-ePHF and anti-Tau IgG) after the first injection (at week 2) at the 3 tested doses. An apparent dose-effect was observed between low- and mid-doses but not between the mid- and high-doses. A boosting effect was observed after each injection especially against pathological Tau species (pTau and ePHF). The antibody response was strongly directed

2


against these pathological Tau species but not against non-phosphorylated Tau. Long-term maintenance of the anti-ePHF IgG titers against endogenous pathological Tau was observed at the mid- and high doses.

In the Phase 1b/2a clinical trial, ACI-35.030 showed a good safety and tolerability profile. The majority of adverse events (AEs) were of mild or moderate intensity. No death was reported. No AE led to study discontinuation or to study treatment discontinuation. Injection site reactions were the most frequently reported AEs in actively treated subjects. The frequency of serious adverse events (SAEs) observed in subjects treated with ACI-35.030 did not appear to have any particular relationship to the dose.

Consequently, ACI-35.030/JNJ-2056 is now being assessed in subjects with preclinical (i.e., pre-symptomatic) AD in the Phase 2b study ReTain (NCT06544616). The ongoing trial will randomize approximately 500 participants with confirmed early-stage Tau pathology, who will be treated over a four-year period. The trial will include interim biomarker analyses potentially allowing for acceleration towards a regulatory filing. JNJ-2056 was granted Fast Track designation by the FDA, for the treatment of AD in July 2024. In September 2024, AC Immune received a milestone payment triggered by the rapid rate of prescreening in the potentially registrational Phase 2b ReTain trial and the first patient was dosed in H2 2024.

PI-2620. PI-2620 is the Tau-PET imaging agent discovered during the collaboration of AC Immune and Life Molecular Imaging (LMI, recently acquired by Lantheus Holdings, Inc.). We are working with our partner, to advance PI-2620 as a highly differentiated, best-in-class Tau diagnostic for AD as well as non-AD tauopathies such as progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and corticobasal degeneration (CBD). Results have demonstrated PI-2620’s differentiated characteristics as a diagnostic tool for studying Tau-related diseases. Results on the longitudinal use of PI-2620 in 52 participants (7 with normal cognition, 28 with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and 17 with AD) from an investigator sponsored Phase 2 trial at the Asan Medical Center (NCT03903211) were presented at the 2022 AAIC and published in 2024 in the peer-reviewed Journal of Nuclear Medicine. Following these results, LMI moved PI-2620 into late-stage clinical development in AD and made a milestone payment to AC Immune. The first Alzheimer’s patient in ADvance, the pivotal Phase 3 histopathology study in AD (NCT05641688), was imaged in January 2023. In August 2024, partner LMI has received Fast Track Designation for the diagnostic 18F-PI-2620, from the U.S. FDA in three neurodegenerative conditions: AD, PSP, and CBD.

ACI-12589 and ACI-15916. Our Morphomer platform has delivered the first clinically validated a-syn-PET tracer which now can support the differential diagnosis of multiple system atrophy (MSA) from other neurodegenerative diseases and allow precision medicine approaches and biomarker-based clinical development in this indication. ACI-12589 preclinical and clinical data were published in October 2023 in Nature Communications. In addition, medicinal chemistry optimization strategies have allowed the identification of our next-generation clinical candidate, ACI-15916. Compared to ACI-12589, ACI-15916 shows significantly higher target occupancy in brain slices from idiopathic forms of PD and has therefore the potential to enable imaging of a-syn pathology in patients with PD. IND/CTA-enabling studies for ACI-15916 were completed in H2 2024 and the Phase 1 trial in PD was initiated in Q1 2025. The readout from this study is expected in H2 2025.
ACI-19626, TDP-43 imaging diagnostic. Our Morphomer platform has delivered the first-in-class TDP-43 PET tracer, 18F-ACI-19626 entering the FiH evaluation in healthy volunteers and in patients with TDP-43 proteinopathies. ACI-19626 shows optimal binding potential in frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD)-TDP brain tissue with no binding to physiological TDP-43, excellent selectivity over other aggregated proteins commonly present in neurodegenerative diseases and aging brain, excellent pharmacokinetic properties suitable for human brain imaging. This PET tracer is envisioned to enable early and differential diagnosis, improve the design and interpretation of clinical trials allowing for patient stratification, selection of optimal timing for therapeutic intervention and pharmacodynamic effect evaluation. This first-in-class molecule could have a high impact, opening new opportunities for therapeutic interventions in diseases with high unmet medical needs and huge societal burdens, such as ALS, FTD and AD. CTA enabling studies for ACI-19626 were completed in July 2024. The Phase 1 trial was initiated in Q1 2025 and the interim readout from this study is expected in H2 2025.
Morphomer Tau aggregation inhibitors. We are researching and developing small molecule Tau aggregation inhibitors with plans to evaluate candidates in AD. Continued candidate characterization across the research program has also identified new and highly differentiated candidates with excellent brain exposure and selectivity for pathological aggregated Tau.
Semorinemab. Semorinemab is an investigational monoclonal anti-Tau antibody that targets the N-terminal portion of the Tau protein and is designed to bind to Tau and slow its spread between neurons for the treatment of AD. AC Immune regained the global rights to semorinemab in February 2025. The Company will carefully review and evaluate available data sets, before decisions are made on potential further development and other opportunities.
Crenezumab. Crenezumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody, an investigational treatment designed to slow AD progression by neutralizing neurotoxic Abeta oligomers. AC Immune will carefully review and evaluate available data sets, before decisions are made on potential further development and other opportunities.

Q2 2025 Company highlights

Reported interim safety and positive immunogenicity data from the Phase 2 VacSYn clinical trial evaluating ACI-7104.056, AC Immune’s wholly owned anti-a-syn active immunotherapy candidate, for the treatment of patients with early PD.
oAs presented at AD/PD™ 2025, treatment with ACI-7104.056 induced an average 20-fold increase in anti-a-syn antibodies after four immunizations compared to placebo background level.
oBased on pharmacodynamic and biomarker interim results to be reported later this year, AC Immune may decide to initiate Part 2 of VacSYn, with the aim of establishing early proof-of-concept and identification of disease-specific biomarkers for rapid transition into a pivotal study.
AC Immune’s therapeutic and diagnostic programs were featured in multiple presentations at AD/PD™ 2025.
AC Immune hosted an industry symposium highlighting the company’s industry-leading pipeline of active immunotherapies for precision prevention of neurodegenerative diseases.

Research and development expenses

Research and development (R&D) activities are essential to our business and represent the majority of our costs incurred. Costs for certain development activities, such as clinical trials, are recognized based on an evaluation of the progress to completion of specific tasks using information from the clinical sites and our vendors. Our collaboration agreements have different arrangements to share costs for the development of our product candidates.

We have completed our co-development costs with Janssen for the Phase 1b/2a studies for our active immunotherapy, ACI-35.030 (JNJ-2056). From Phase 2b and onwards, Janssen will assume responsibility for the clinical development, manufacturing and commercialization of ACI-35.030 (JNJ-2056).

We intend to increase our R&D costs associated with the advancement of our active immunotherapies, ACI-24.060 targeting Abeta in AD and AD in DS and ACI-7104.056 targeting a-syn in PD, through mid- and late-stage clinical development, as well as through investments in our diagnostic programs.

Finally, we intend to further advance the characterization of our other clinical and preclinical candidates, such as our Morphomer Tau and NLRP3 inhibitor programs. In addition to the collaborative arrangements and proprietarily held assets, we expect that our total future R&D costs will remain at similar levels.

The table below provides a breakdown of our R&D costs, including direct R&D costs, manufacturing costs related to R&D and other R&D costs not allocated directly to programs for the periods covered by these Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The R&D costs not allocated to specific programs include employment costs, regulatory, quality assurance and intellectual property costs. We do not assign our internal costs, such as salary and benefits, share-based compensation expenses, laboratory supplies, and other direct expenses and infrastructure costs to

5


individual R&D projects, because the employees within our R&D groups are typically deployed across multiple R&D programs.

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, R&D expenses totaled CHF 16.8 million compared with CHF 17.1 million for the comparable period in 2024. This represents a decrease of CHF 0.3 million. The following table presents the R&D expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

For the three months ended June 30, 2025:

Discovery and preclinical expenses decreased by CHF 0.4 million. The changes were composed of:

reduced activities in early-stage programs such as our TDP-43 antibody and PET tracer programs, where the pre-clinical development activities were completed in prior periods, and reduced research activities on ACI-24.060. These changes were offset by higher cost associated with our Morphomer Inflammasome program.

Clinical expenses remained consistent period over period, changing less than CHF 0.1 million. The offsetting activity was composed of:

a decrease of CHF 1.1 million attributed lower manufacturing spend attributable to ACI-7104.056. This change was offset by increases in expenses on other clinical stage programs including costs associated with the ACI-24.060 ABATE study, and our PET tracer programs.

an increase of CHF 0.5 million in our ACI-24.060 active immunotherapy for expansion of the ABATE study offset by a decrease of CHF 1.3 million related to manufacturing activities for our Phase 2 VacSYn study evaluating ACI-7104.056 in early PD.

The variances in Group function expenses are related to regulatory and quality assurance, and intellectual property costs.

Other non-allocated expenses are related to infrastructure and functional expenses not allocated to direct R&D expenses.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses consist of salaries and related costs, including share-based compensation, professional fees such as legal and accounting related services, infrastructure expenses, and other operating expenses.

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the net finance result was largely consistent with the prior period overall. The small fluctuations in activity related to:

a loss of CHF 2.2 million explained by unfavorable foreign currency exchange differences related to movement in the CHF versus foreign currencies, predominantly the US Dollar. This fluctuation was down CHF 0.3 million from prior year losses.

This was partially offset by:

a decrease in financial income of CHF 0.3 million due to lower interest received on net investments in short-term financial assets, attributed to less deposits in 2025 compared to the prior period.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, net finance result was a CHF 1.5 million loss compared with a CHF 0.4 million gain for the comparable period in 2024. This represents a decrease of CHF 1.9 million. The following table presents the net finance result during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

To date, the Company has financed its cash requirements primarily from its public offerings, share issuances, contract revenues from option, license and collaboration agreements (OLCAs) and grants. The Company is a clinical stage company and is exposed to all the risks inherent to establishing a business. Inherent to the Company’s business are various risks and uncertainties, including the substantial uncertainty as to whether current projects will succeed and our ability to raise additional capital as needed. These risks may require us to take certain measures such as delaying, reducing or eliminating certain programs. 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 pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries, (iii) successfully move its product candidates through clinical development, (iv) attract and retain key personnel and (v) acquire capital to support its operations. As of June 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of CHF 25.7 million and short-term financial assets of CHF 101.4 million for a total liquidity balance of CHF 127.1 million.

Our primary uses of capital are, and we expect will continue to be, R&D expenses, compensation and related expenses and other operating expenses including rent. Cash and cash equivalents used to fund operating expenses are impacted by the timing of when we pay expenses, as reflected in the change in our outstanding trade and other payables and accrued expenses. We expect to incur substantial expenses in connection with our product candidates in various stages of clinical development. In December 2023, it was announced that Janssen has programmed the launch of a Phase 2b clinical study to evaluate ACI-35.030 (JNJ-2056) in patients with preclinical AD, those individuals not yet showing symptoms. AC Immune and Janssen will jointly share research and development costs until the completion of the first Phase 2b, however AC Immune’s contribution to the first Phase 2b trial is capped (and remaining costs for AC Immune are non-material). From Phase 2b and onwards, Janssen will assume responsibility for the clinical development, manufacturing and commercialization of ACI-35.030. We intend to increase our R&D costs associated with the advancement of the active immunotherapies, ACI-24.060 targeting Abeta in AD and AD in DS and ACI-7104.056 targeting a-syn in PD, through clinical development, as well as through investments in our diagnostic programs.

We plan to continue to fund our operating and capital funding needs through proceeds received from OLCAs and through equity or other forms of financing. For example, in Q3 2020 we entered into the Open Market Sale Agreement (Sale Agreement) with Jefferies LLC (Jefferies), which provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in the Sale Agreement, we may elect to issue and sell, from time to time, shares of our common shares having an aggregate offering price of up to USD 80.0 (CHF 64.5) million through Jefferies acting as our sales agent.

We first replaced this Sale Agreement in Q2 2021 to continue the ATM program and have subsequently replaced this Sale Agreement on August 6, 2024 to continue the ATM program under a new Registration Statement on Form F-3. Under each new Sale Agreement, Jefferies may sell the shares of common shares by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in privately negotiated transactions with our consent or in block transactions. Jefferies will use commercially reasonable efforts to sell the shares of common shares subject to the new Sales Agreement from time to time, consistent with its normal sales and trading practices, on mutually agreed terms.

We will pay Jefferies a commission of up to 3.0% of the gross sales proceeds of any common shares sold through Jefferies under the new Sales Agreement. We are not obligated to make any sales of common shares under the new Sales Agreement. As of June 30, 2025, no sales of our common shares had been made under the ATM program since the Sale Agreement was replaced on August 6, 2024.

We may also consider entering into additional LCAs and selectively partnering for clinical development and commercialization.

Operating activities

Net cash used in operating activities was CHF 34.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared with net cash provided by operating activities of CHF 74.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The change in cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was due to (i) the Company’s reporting a net loss of CHF 40.2 million for the period, compared with a net loss of CHF 40.6 million for the same period in 2024, (ii) an increase of CHF 91.6 million in deferred contract revenue, resulting from the receipt of the upfront payment from our agreement with Takeda in the prior period and (iii) the receipt of the CHF 14.8 million milestone payment from Janssen for the commencement of first Phase 2b clinical study in the prior period.

Investing activities

Net cash provided by investing activities was CHF 26.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared with net cash used in investing activities of CHF 99.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The change is primarily comprised of a net investment of CHF 99.0 million in short-term financial assets in the prior period compared to a net maturation of CHF 27.8 million in the current period.

Financing activities

Net cash used in financing activities was CHF 0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared with net cash used in financing activities of CHF 0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The change of CHF 0.3 million is primarily related to CHF 0.5 million paid for transaction in the prior period, offset by an increase of CHF 0.2 million paid related to principal payments of lease obligations.

Operating Capital Requirements and Plan of Operations

We do not expect to generate revenues from royalties based on product sales unless and until our partners or we obtain regulatory approval of, and successfully commercialize, our current or any future product candidates. As of June 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of CHF 25.7 million and short-term financial assets of CHF 101.4 million, resulting in CHF 127.1 million of liquidity. The decrease of CHF 38.4 million relative to December 31, 2024 was predominantly related to R&D spending on our major discovery and R&D programs, the strengthening of the Company’s infrastructure, systems and organization and other operating expenditures. We believe that our existing capital resources, assuming no other milestone payments, will be sufficient to meet our projected operating requirements into Q1 2027. There can be no certainty as to the exact timing of future milestone payments (including option exercise fees), or in fact, whether any of these will ever be made, given that they are contingent on clear milestones being reached.

We expect to generate losses for the foreseeable future, and these losses could increase as we continue product development until we successfully achieve regulatory approvals for our product candidates and begin to commercialize any approved products. We are subject to all the risks pertinent to the development of new products, and we may encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays and other unknown factors that may harm our business. We anticipate that we will need substantial additional funding in connection with our continuing operations. If we need to raise additional capital to fund our operations and complete our ongoing and planned clinical studies, funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all.

11


Our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including but not limited to the following:

The scope, rate of progress, results and cost of our preclinical and clinical studies and other related activities, according to our long-term strategic plan;
The cost of manufacturing clinical supplies and establishing commercial supplies of our product candidates and any other products we may develop;
The cost, timing and outcomes of regulatory approvals;
The costs and timing of establishing sales, marketing and distribution capabilities;
The terms and timing of any collaborative, licensing and other arrangements that we may establish, including any required milestone and royalty payments thereunder;
The emergence of competing technologies or other adverse market developments; and
The potential cost and timing of managing, protecting, defending, and enforcing our portfolio of intellectual property.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, there were no significant changes to our quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk described under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in the Annual Report on Form 20-F.

Three active immunotherapies for precision prevention of neurodegeneration progressing through Phase 2 clinical development
ACI-7104.056 anti-alpha-synuclein active immunotherapy in Parkinson’s disease produced strong immunogenicity and favorable safety profile in interim results from the ongoing Phase 2 VacSYn reported in April, with further data to come in H2 2025
Third Alzheimer’s disease cohort (AD3) in the Phase 2 ABATE trial of anti-Abeta ACI-24.060 to reach 12 months of treatment in December 2025, with interim results expected early 2026
Small molecule NLRP3 program now in IND-enabling studies, highlighting promise in early-stage pipeline
Cash resources of CHF 127.1 million (USD 157.6 million) as of June 30, 2025, provide funding into Q1 2027 excluding any potential milestone payments

Lausanne, Switzerland, August 5, 2025 -- AC Immune SA (NASDAQ: ACIU), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company pioneering precision therapeutics for neurodegenerative diseases, today reported results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, and provided a corporate update.

Dr. Andrea Pfeifer, CEO of AC Immune SA, commented:AC Immune is continuing to progress toward precision prevention of neurodegenerative diseases as we approach multiple value-inflection points through the rest of 2025 and beyond. Our industry symposium during the AD/PD™ conference focused on unlocking active immunotherapy for tailored prevention strategies highlighted the momentum of our three active immunotherapies in Phase 2 development. Interim results on ACI-7104.056, our wholly owned a-syn active immunotherapy, reinforced its best-in-class characteristics, showing strong immunogenicity and a favorable safety profile in early Parkinson’s disease. The two partnered programs, ACI-24.060 and ACI-35.030, are also progressing according to plan. In addition, our Morphomer® small molecule drugs targeting a-syn and tau and Morphomer®-antibody drug conjugates (morADC) were featured in several presentations at AD/PD™ 2025. In our exciting early-stage pipeline, ACI-19764, a novel Morphomer® small molecule inhibitor of NLRP3, has now entered studies to enable an Investigational New Drug (IND) filing.

“Our strong cash position provides funding into 2027, excluding potential milestone payments, and enables us to advance our robust pipeline focused on precision prevention of neurodegenerative diseases. Further interim results from Part 1 of the VacSYn trial of ACI-7104.056 are expected later this year, and the AD3 cohort in the ABATE trial of ACI-24.060 will reach 12 months of treatment around year end, with interim results thereafter. We also expect to file an IND for ACI-19764 this year.”


Q2 2025 and Subsequent Highlights:

Reported interim safety and positive immunogenicity data from the Phase 2 VacSYn clinical trial evaluating ACI-7104.056, AC Immune’s wholly owned anti-a-syn active immunotherapy candidate, for the treatment of patients with early PD.
oAs presented at AD/PD™ 2025, treatment with ACI-7104.056 induced an average 20-fold increase in anti-a-syn antibodies after four immunizations compared to placebo background level.
oBased on pharmacodynamic and biomarker interim results to be reported later this year, AC Immune may decide to initiate Part 2 of VacSYn, with the aim of establishing early proof-of-concept and identification of disease-specific biomarkers for rapid transition into a pivotal study.
AC Immune’s therapeutic and diagnostic programs were featured in multiple presentations at AD/PD™ 2025.
AC Immune hosted an industry symposium highlighting the company’s industry-leading pipeline of active immunotherapies for precision prevention of neurodegenerative diseases.

Analysis of Financial Statements for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2025

Cash Position: The Company had a total cash balance of CHF 127.1 million (CHF 165.5 million as of December 31, 2024), composed of CHF 25.7 million in cash and cash equivalents and CHF 101.4 million in short-term financial assets. The Company’s cash balance provides sufficient capital resources into Q1 2027, excluding potential milestone payments.
Contract Revenues: The Company recorded CHF 1.3 million in contract revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to CHF 0.7 million in the comparable prior period. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, our contract revenues of CHF 1.3 million were related to the efforts made under the agreement with Takeda.
R&D Expenditures: R&D expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2025, were CHF 16.8 million compared to CHF 17.1 million in the comparable period in 2024. The decrease was primarily due to reduced activity in early-stage discovery programs, as well as lower expenses incurred on ACI-7104.056. These reductions were offset by higher costs in the Morphomer Inflammasome program (ACI-19764).
G&A Expenditures: G&A expenses, in comparison to the comparable period in 2024, decreased by CHF 0.7 million to CHF 3.9 million for the 3 months ended June, 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in legal fees related to business development and licensing activities which were executed in the prior period.
IFRS Loss for the Period: The Company reported a net loss after taxes of CHF 21.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared with a net loss of CHF 22.8 million for the comparable period in 2024.
