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 registered and is organized under the laws of Delaware, USA in June 2021. The Company and its Subsidiary form the Group (See "Note 2. Basis of preparation and changes to the Company's accounting policies").

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, 2022 were authorized for issuance by the Company's Audit and Finance Committee on July 27, 2022.

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, 2022 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, 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, 2021.

Basis of measurement

These Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

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

5

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, (ii) clinical development accruals, (iii) net employee defined benefit liability, (iv) income taxes, (v) share-based compensation, (vi) right-of-use assets and lease liabilities and (vii) our IPR&D 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 and long-term financial assets, cash and cash equivalents, trade and other payables, accrued expenses 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, 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, 2021.

The Company has not adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective. Such standards are not currently expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods, and on foreseeable future transactions.

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 June 30, 2022, after considering the Company's cash position of CHF 63.1 million and short-term financial assets of CHF 91.0 million as of June 30, 2022. Hence, the 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 license and collaboration agreements 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. 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.

In addition to the foregoing, based on the Company's current assessment, the Company does not expect any material impact on its long-term development timeline, its liquidity or ability to remain a going concern due to the worldwide spread of the Covid-19 virus. The Company continues to assess the effect on its operations by carefully monitoring the spread of Covid-19 and taking appropriate steps intended to offset any negative impacts from the Covid-19 virus.

3.	Contract revenues and other operating income

6.	Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities

AC Immune recognized no additions for its right-of-use of leased assets for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

The weighted averages of the incremental borrowing rates are 2.5% for buildings, 5.3% for office equipment and 2.6% for IT equipment, respectively.

The following table shows the movements in the net book values of right-of-use of leased assets for the six months ended June 30, 2022:

The Company also has deposits in escrow accounts totaling CHF 0.4 million for leases of the Company's premises as of both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. These deposits are presented in Long-term financial assets on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets.

7.	Net employee defined benefit liabilities

The Company used its independent actuaries to update the calculation of the defined benefit obligation and plan assets as of June 30, 2022. As of the June 30, 2022, the Company recognized a remeasurement gain of CHF 7.4 million on the Company's condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss) related to its net employee defined benefit liability. The primary component of the remeasurement gain as of and for the three and six months period ended June 30, 2022 relates to the increase in the discount rate by 195 basis points to 2.25% from 0.3% as of December 31, 2021.

The resulting impact as a result of the asset ceiling test is to record nil for the net employee defined benefit liability on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2022 compared to CHF 7.1 million as of December 31, 2021.
