Page 1/10 Ad hoc announcement pursuant to Art. 53 LR Communications P.O. Box, CH-8022 Zurich Telephone +41 58 631 00 00 communications@snb.ch Zurich, 31 July 2026 Interim results of the Swiss National Bank as at 30 June 2026 The Swiss National Bank reports a profit of CHF 25.2 billion for the first half of 2026. The profit on foreign currency positions amounted to CHF 31.7 billion. A valuation loss of CHF 6.4 billion was recorded on gold holdings. The profit on Swiss franc positions was CHF 0.1 billion. The SNB’s financial result depends largely on developments in the gold, foreign exchange and capital markets. Strong fluctuations are therefore to be expected, and only provisional conclusions are possible as regards the annual result. Profit on foreign currency positions The profit on foreign currency positions totalled CHF 31.7 billion. Interest and dividend income amounted to CHF 6.7 billion and CHF 1.7 billion respectively, while interest expenses stood at CHF 0.4 billion. Price losses of CHF 1.7 billion were recorded on interest-bearing paper and instruments, whereas price gains on equity securities and instruments amounted to CHF 22.9 billion. Exchange rate-related gains totalled CHF 2.5 billion. Valuation loss on gold holdings A valuation loss of CHF 6.4 billion was recorded on gold holdings, which remained unchanged in volume terms. Gold was trading at CHF 104,812 per kilogram at the end of June 2026 (end-2025: CHF 110,919).

Page 2/10 Ad hoc announcement pursuant to Art. 53 LR Zurich, 31 July 2026 Profit on Swiss franc positions The profit on Swiss franc positions totalled CHF 0.1 billion. This largely resulted from the remuneration of sight deposit account balances and from liquidity-absorbing operations. The SNB absorbs liquidity with repo transactions and SNB debt certificates. Provisions for currency reserves As at end-June 2026, the SNB recorded a profit of CHF 25.2 billion before the allocation to the provisions for currency reserves. In accordance with art. 30 para. 1 of the National Bank Act (NBA), the SNB is required to set aside provisions permitting it to maintain the currency reserves at the level necessary for monetary policy. The allocation for the current financial year is determined at the end of the year.

The associated liabilities are included in the balance sheet under foreign currency liabilities and result in a balance sheet expansion. 3 The Swiss franc portfolio will be reduced with minimal market impact over the coming quarters. In the past, Swiss franc securities were primarily held as potential collateral for liquidity-absorbing repo transactions. In the meantime, this function is performed by the SNB’s own holdings of SNB Bills. Purchases of Swiss franc bonds continue to be available as a monetary policy instrument, should the need arise (cf. ‘Guidelines of the Swiss National Bank on monetary policy instruments’).

Page 8/10 Ad hoc announcement pursuant to Art. 53 LR Zurich, 31 July 2026 Appendix Accounting and valuation principles The SNB is a special-statute joint-stock company with head offices in Berne and Zurich. These interim results have been drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the NBA and the Swiss Code of Obligations (CO) as well as the accounting principles detailed in the notes to the annual financial statements as at 31 December 2025. These results present a true and fair view of the financial position and the results of operations of the SNB. Unless otherwise stated, the accounting principles are based on the Swiss GAAP FER standards (Accounting and Reporting Recommendations). Departures from Swiss GAAP FER occur only if an accounting principle runs counter to the provisions of the NBA or if the special nature of the SNB needs to be taken into account. In a departure from Swiss GAAP FER, no cash flow statement is prepared. The structure and designation of the items in the balance sheet and the income statement take into consideration the special character of the business conducted at a central bank. There were no changes to the accounting and valuation principles compared with the annual financial statements as at 31 December 2025. The SNB interim results as at 30 June 2026 constitute an interim report in accordance with Swiss GAAP FER 31, with condensations in presentation and disclosures. Swiss GAAP FER 31 requires the presentation of earnings per share. This has no informative value in view of the special statutory provisions for the SNB. Shareholders’ rights are determined by the NBA. Their dividends, in particular, may not exceed 6% of share capital (with a nominal value of CHF 250 per share, a maximum of CHF 15); the Confederation is entitled to one-third and the cantons to two-thirds of the remaining distributable profit. Therefore, no presentation of earnings per share is made.
