In 2024, we made significant progress towards our vision through important oncology pipeline advancements, including the initiation of global Phase 3 clinical trials for our anti-PD-L1/VEGF-A bispecific antibody candidate BNT327 and key data updates from our mRNA cancer immunotherapy programs,” said Prof. Ugur Sahin, M.D., CEO and Co-Founder of BioNTech. “We expect 2025 to be a data-rich year with multiple important updates from our priority programs, which we believe have disruptive potential and could improve the standard of care, if successfully developed and approved.” Financial Review for Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Financial Results in millions €, except per share data Fourth Quarter 2024 Fourth Quarter 2023 Full Year 2024 Full Year2023 Total revenues 1,190.0 1,479.0 2,751.1 3,819.0 Net profit / (loss) 259.5 457.9 (665.3) 930.3 Diluted earnings / (loss) per share 1.08 1.88 (2.77) 3.83 Total revenues reported were €1,190.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to €1,479.0 million for the comparative prior year period. For the year ended December 31, 2024, revenues were €2,751.1 million, compared to €3,819.0 million for the comparative prior year period. The decrease in revenues was primarily driven by lower sales of the Company’s COVID-19 vaccines due to reduced market demand. In addition, write-downs by BioNTech’s collaboration partner Pfizer Inc. (“Pfizer”) significantly reduced the Company’s gross profit share which negatively influenced its revenues. Cost of sales were €243.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to €179.1 million for the comparative prior year period. For the year ended December 31, 2024, cost of sales were €541.3 million, compared to €599.8 million for the comparative prior year period. Cost of sales were influenced by COVID-19 vaccine sales and inventory write-downs and scrapping. Research and development (“R&D”) expenses were €611.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to €577.8 million for the comparative prior year period. For the year ended December 31, 2024, R&D expenses were €2,254.2 million, compared to €1,783.1 million for the comparative prior year period. R&D expenses were mainly influenced by advancing clinical studies for the Company’s late-stage oncology product candidates. Further contributions to the increase came from higher personnel expenses resulting from an increase in headcount. Sales, general and administrative (“SG&A”)3 expenses, in total, amounted to €132.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to €142.3 million for the comparative prior year period. For the year ended December 31, 2024, SG&A expenses were €599.0 million, compared to €557.7 million for the comparative prior year period. SG&A expenses were mainly influenced by the setup and enhancement of commercial IT platforms and personnel expenses resulting from an increase in headcount. Other operating results amounted to negative €54.0 million during the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to negative €53.6 million for the comparative prior year period. For the year ended December 31, 2024, other operating result amounted to negative €670.9 million compared to negative €188.0 million for the prior year period. The decrease was mainly due to the settlement of contractual disputes and related expenses to such disputes and other litigations. The amounts for contractual disputes are net of the related reimbursements expected to be received. Income taxes were accrued with an amount of €41.7 million in tax expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to €205.3 million in accrued tax expenses for the comparative prior year period. For the year ended December 31, 2024, income taxes were realized with an amount of €12.4 million in tax income for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to €255.8 million of accrued tax expenses for the comparative prior year period. Net profit was €259.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to €457.9 million net profit for the comparative prior year period. For the year ended December 31, 2024, net loss was €665.3 million, compared to a net profit of €930.3 million for the comparative prior year period. Cash and cash equivalents plus security investments2 as of December 31, 2024, reached €17,359.2 million, comprising of €9,761.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, €6,536.2 million in current security investments and €1,061.1 million in non-current security investments. Diluted earnings per share was €1.08 for the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to €1.88 for the comparative prior year period. For the year ended December 31, 2024, diluted loss per share was €2.77, compared to diluted earnings per share of €3.83 for the comparative prior year period.Shares outstanding as of December 31, 2024, were 239,970,804, excluding 8,581,396 shares held in treasury. “Through strategic investments in our priority programs like our next-generation immunomodulator candidate BNT327, we strive to meaningfully improve treatments for patients,” said Jens Holstein, CFO of BioNTech. “Our strong financial position enables us to fuel our R&D activities and to prepare for multiple product launches in the coming years. With our targeted investments we aim to create long-term value for the benefit of BioNTech’s stakeholders.” 2025 Financial Year Guidance4 Total revenues for the 2025 financial year €1,700 million - €2,200 million BioNTech expects its revenues for the full 2025 financial year to be in the range of €1,700 - €2,200 million and revenue phasing similar to 2024, primarily concentrated in the last three to four months, driving the full year revenue figure. The revenue guidance assumes: relatively stable vaccination rates, pricing levels and market share compared to 2024; estimated inventory write-downs and other charges by BioNTech’s collaboration partner Pfizer that negatively influence BioNTech’s revenues; anticipated revenues from a pandemic preparedness contract with the German government; and anticipated revenues from the BioNTech Group service businesses. Planned 2025 Financial Year Expenses and Capex R&D expenses €2,600 million - €2,800 million SG&A expenses €650 million - €750 million Capital expenditures for operating activities €250 million - €350 million BioNTech expects to continue to focus investments on R&D and scaling the business for late-stage development and commercial readiness in oncology, while continuing to be cost disciplined. Strategic capital allocation will remain a key driver of the Company’s trajectory. As part of BioNTech’s strategy, the Company may continue to evaluate appropriate corporate development opportunities with the aim of driving sustainable long-term growth and create future value.

Operational Review for the Fourth Quarter 2024, Key Post Period-End Events and 2025 Outlook Selected Oncology Pipeline UpdatesIn 2024, the Company’s pipeline continued to mature towards later stages of clinical development with a focus on two priority programs: our investigational next-generation immunomodulator candidate BNT327 and mRNA cancer immunotherapies. BioNTech’s oncology pipeline currently contains over 20 ongoing Phase 2 and 3 clinical trials. In 2025, the Company plans to continue progressing its pipeline towards commercialization, with its first oncology launch expected in 2026. Next-Generation Immunomodulators BNT327 is a bispecific antibody candidate combining PD-L1 checkpoint inhibition with VEGF-A neutralization. In December 2024, BioNTech initiated a global randomized Phase 3 clinical trial (NCT06712355) evaluating BNT327 plus chemotherapy compared to atezolizumab plus chemotherapy in first-line extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (“ES-SCLC”). In December 2024, BioNTech initiated a global randomized Phase 2/3 clinical trial (NCT06712316) evaluating BNT327 plus chemotherapy compared to pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy in first-line non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”). In December 2024, at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (“SABCS”), interim data were presented from the Phase 1/2 clinical trial (NCT05918133) evaluating BNT327 in combination with chemotherapy in a cohort of patients with locally advanced, previously untreated triple-negative breast cancer (“TNBC”). In 42 patients, first-line treatment with BNT327 combined with nab-paclitaxel chemotherapy showed encouraging antitumor activity and survival outcomes regardless of PD-L1 status, together with a manageable safety profile. A global randomized Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating BNT327 in first-line TNBC is on track to start in 2025. Data from the ongoing global Phase 2 dose optimization clinical trials evaluating BNT327 in combination with chemotherapy in first-line small cell lung cancer (“SCLC”) (BNT327-01, NCT06449209) and TNBC (BNT327-02, NCT06449222) are planned to be published in 2025. Data from two Phase 2 clinical trials conducted in China in first- and second-line SCLC (NCT05844150, NCT05879068, respectively) are expected to be presented at the European Lung Cancer Congress (“ELCC”) taking place March 26-29, 2025 in Paris, France. Title: Phase 2 study of the efficacy and safety of BNT327 plus systemic chemotherapy as first-line therapy for ES-SCLCPresentation Date: March 28, 2025Poster Number: 302PAuthor: Y. Cheng Title: Updated Phase 2 efficacy and safety results of BNT327 combined with paclitaxel as second-line therapy in SCLCPresentation Date: March 28, 2025Poster Number: 332PAuthor: Y. Cheng First clinical data from the ongoing global Phase 1/2 expansion cohorts (NCT05438329) evaluating the combination of BNT327 and BNT325/DB-1305, a TROP2-targeted antibody-drug conjugate (“ADC”) candidate, are planned to be published in 2025. Additional clinical trials exploring novel combinations of BNT327 with the ADC candidates BNT323/DB-1303 (trastuzumab pamirtecan) targeting HER2, BNT324/DB-1311 targeting B7-H3 or BNT326/YL202 targeting HER3 are planned to start in 2025. BNT316/ONC-392 (gotistobart) is an anti-CTLA-4 monoclonal antibody candidate being developed in collaboration with OncoC4, Inc. (“OncoC4”). In December 2024, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) lifted the partial clinical hold on the OncoC4-sponsored Phase 3 clinical trial (PRESERVE-003; NCT05671510) evaluating the efficacy and safety of BNT316/ONC-392 as monotherapy in patients with metastatic NSCLC that progressed under previous PD-(L)1-inhibitor treatment. Based on the available clinical trial data and upon alignment with the FDA, the companies will solely continue enrollment of patients with squamous NSCLC. mRNA Cancer Immunotherapies Autogene cevumeran (BNT122/RO7198457) and BNT111 are investigational immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer based on BioNTech’s systemically administered uridine mRNA-lipoplex technology. Autogene cevumeran is an individualized neoantigen-specific mRNA cancer immunotherapy candidate being developed in collaboration with Genentech, Inc. (“Genentech”), a member of the Roche Group (“Roche”). In December 2024, the first patient was treated in a global randomized Phase 2 clinical trial (IMCODE004; NCT06534983) evaluating autogene cevumeran in combination with nivolumab compared to nivolumab alone as an adjuvant treatment in high-risk muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma (“MIUC”). In January 2025, a manuscript summarizing the results of a Phase 1 clinical trial (NCT03289962) evaluating autogene cevumeran in combination with atezolizumab in patients with advanced solid tumors was published in Nature Medicine (Lopez et al., 2025). In February 2025, a manuscript denoting follow up data from an investigator-initiated Phase 1 clinical trial (NCT04161755, Rojas et al., 2023) evaluating autogene cevumeran in combination with atezolizumab in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (“PDAC”) in an adjuvant treatment setting was published in Nature (Sethna et al., 2025). First data from the ongoing global randomized Phase 2 clinical trial (NCT04486378) evaluating autogene cevumeran as an adjuvant treatment compared to watchful waiting after standard of care chemotherapy in resected circulating tumor DNA+ (“ctDNA”) stage II (high-risk) and III colorectal cancer (“CRC”) are anticipated in late 2025 or early 2026. BNT111 is based on BioNTech’s fully owned, off-the-shelf FixVac platform, and encodes four melanoma-associated antigens. BioNTech plans to present data from the ongoing Phase 2 clinical trial (BNT111-01; NCT04526899) at a medical conference in 2025. In 2024, an initial topline readout was provided noting that the clinical trial had met its primary efficacy outcome measure, demonstrating a statistically significant improvement in overall response rate (“ORR”) in patients with anti-PD-(L)1 refractory/relapsed, unresectable stage III or IV melanoma treated with BNT111 in combination with cemiplimab as compared to historical control in this treatment setting. Antibody-Drug Conjugates BNT323/DB-1303 (trastuzumab pamirtecan) is an ADC candidate targeting HER2 that is being developed in collaboration with Duality Biologics (Suzhou) Co. Ltd. (“DualityBio”). BNT323/DB-1303 is being evaluated in a Phase 1/2 clinical trial (NCT05150691) in patients with advanced/unresectable, recurrent or metastatic HER2-expressing solid tumors. Data from patients with HER2-expressing (IHC3+, 2+, 1+ or ISH-positive) advanced endometrial carcinoma are expected in 2025. A confirmatory Phase 3 clinical trial (NCT06340568) is planned to start in 2025. Preparation of a potential Biologics License Application (“BLA”) submission for BNT323/DB-1303 as a second line or subsequent therapy in HER2-expressing advanced endometrial cancer in 2025. BNT324/DB-1311 is an ADC candidate targeting B7-H3 that is being developed in collaboration with DualityBio. The program has received Fast Track designation from the FDA for the treatment of patients with advanced castration-resistant prostate cancer (“CRPC”) who have progressed on or after standard systemic regimens and Orphan Drug designation for the treatment of patients with advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. In December 2024, preliminary data from the first-in-human, open-label Phase 1/2 clinical trial (NCT05914116) were presented at the 2024 European Society for Medical Oncology (“ESMO”) Asia Congress, demonstrating encouraging efficacy and a manageable safety profile across a range of advanced solid tumors. Cell Therapies BNT211 consists of a CAR-T cell product candidate targeting CLDN6-positive solid tumors in combination with a CAR-T cell-amplifying RNA cancer immunotherapy encoding CLDN6. In January 2025, the FDA granted Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (“RMAT”) designation for BNT211. The RMAT designation is designed to expedite the development and review process for promising pipeline products, including cell therapies. A pivotal Phase 2 clinical trial in patients with testicular germ cell tumors is expected to start in 2025 based on encouraging clinical activity observed in this patient population in the ongoing Phase 1 clinical trial (NCT04503278). The Phase 1 clinical trial is ongoing to evaluate BNT211 in other CLDN6+ cancer types, including NSCLC and gynecologic cancers.
