2 BASIS OF PREPARATION AND MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
2.1 BASIS OF PREPARATION
These unaudited financial statements are the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Tecan Group Ltd. and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the ‘Group’) for the six-month period ending June 30, 2025. The financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’ and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements 2024 as they provide an update of previously reported information. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue on August 8, 2025.
The preparation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities, and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements. If in the future such assumptions and estimates deviate from the actual circumstances, the original assumptions and estimates will be modified as appropriate in the period in which the circumstances change.
The Group operates in industries where significant seasonal or cyclical variations in total sales are not experienced during the financial year. Income tax expense is recognized based on the best estimate of the weighted average annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year.
2.2 INTRODUCTION OF NEW AND REVISED/AMENDED STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS
The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements 2024, except for the adoption of the following amended standard, effective as from January 1, 2025:
Standard1 |
IAS 21 ‘The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates’ – Lack of exchangeability |

The adoption of the amended standards did not result in material changes to the Group’s accounting policies.
