14 Deconsolidation of medmix Poland

On May 16, 2022, the group announced a suspension of operations at its manufacturing site in Wroclaw, Poland, as a result of sanctions levied by the Polish government on the medmix local affiliate. The Polish government wrongly assumed that medmix’ minority shareholder, Viktor Vekselberg, would have control of medmix Poland, which is false. Viktor Vekselberg has no control or ownership of any medmix entities and is deprived of all his economic rights in medmix.

On May 23, 2022, the Polish Ministry of the Interior and Administration denied the group’s urgent request for removal from the Polish sanctions list. Therefore, the group started to build production capacity in other countries. Appeals against the decision by the Polish administration are continuing. medmix has received the full support of the Swiss government.

As of June 30, 2022, the group assessed whether it still controls medmix Poland and concluded that there is a temporary loss of control. However, it was then more likely than not that the group would regain control before the end of the year and therefore the group’s management decided to include the financial statements of medmix Poland in the consolidated interim financial statements as of June 30, 2022. As another consequence, the group reviewed the balance sheet of medmix Poland and assessed if indications for impairments of assets existed. No impairments were recognized as of June 30, 2022.

As of December 31, 2022, the group assessed whether it still controls medmix Poland and concluded that the group lost control at the end of April 2022, the date the sanctions were levied by the Polish government. As a result, the group stopped consolidation of medmix Poland retrospectively as of April 30, by derecognizing the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary including any components of other comprehensive income (OCI) attributable to the entity. Total net assets at the time of deconsolidation amounted to CHF 12.5 million and currency translation differences accumulated in OCI amounted to CHF 3.0 million, which resulted in a total loss from deconsolidation of CHF 15.4 million as stated below. The group also remeasured the investment in medmix Poland to its fair value, which was assessed to be zero at initial recognition and as of June 30, 2022.

On January 11, 2023, the group announced that it was seeking to sell its Polish entity, following its decision not to resume operations in Wroclaw, Poland.

On May 31, 2023, the group received an amount of CHF 2.0 million in the sale process of medmix Poland to a third party, resulting in a profit recognized in other operating income (note 5) and a cash flow in the amount of CHF 2.0 million. The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals.
