In the past, Swisscom recognised provisions for regulatory and antitrust proceedings on the basis of legal assessments. As a result of the reassessment of these proceedings, provisions of CHF 92 million were released in the first nine months of 2025. Swisscom conducted a risk assessment with respect to certain commercial contracts and recognised other provisions in the amount of CHF 60 million in the third quarter of 2025.
Contingent liabilities for regulatory and competition law proceedings
With regard to the contingent liabilities reported in the 2024 consolidated financial statements in connection with regulatory and antitrust proceedings, Swisscom is of the opinion that an outflow of resources is unlikely and, as before, has therefore not recognised any provisions for this in the consolidated financial statements as at 30 September 2025.
