# Helvetia Baloise Books CHF 1 Billion Amortisation Expense in 2026

Helvetia Baloise Holding AG will incur an accelerated amortisation expense of CHF 1,000 million to CHF 1,100 million after tax for the 2026 financial year, following the adoption of a new unified brand identity. This accounting charge is related to the reduced useful life of the “Baloise” brand, which, under IFRS regulations, must be capitalised and amortised over time. The accelerated expense results from the shortened useful life of the brand in Switzerland and Germany to one year, and up to five years in Belgium and Luxembourg. The company expects annual amortisation expenses to decrease to between CHF 75 million and CHF 125 million after tax from 2027 to 2030, and to just under CHF 10 million per year until the brand is fully amortised in 2040. These charges do not impact the IFRS opening balance sheet, underlying earnings, solvency ratios, local accounting, or dividend capacity.
