to focus on those assets that we believe offer a fast path to market and the highest potential to generate value for patients and shareholders.

2024 Financial Year Guidance3

The Company expects its revenues for the full 2024 financial year to be at the low end of the guidance range provided in its outlook:

Total revenues for the 2024 financial year

low end of €2.5 billion - €3.1 billion

The range reflects certain assumptions and expectations, including, but not limited to: COVID-19 vaccine uptake and price levels, including seasonal variations; inventory write-downs and other charges by BioNTech’s collaboration partner Pfizer Inc. (“Pfizer”) that negatively influence BioNTech’s revenues; anticipated revenues from a pandemic preparedness contract with the German government; and revenues from the BioNTech Group service businesses, namely InstaDeep Ltd (“InstaDeep”), JPT Peptide Technologies GmbH, and BioNTech Innovative Manufacturing Services GmbH. Generally, the Company continues to remain largely dependent on revenues generated in its collaboration partner’s territories in 2024.

2024 Financial Year Expenses and Capex

The Company has reduced its previous guidance for expected SG&A expenses and capital expenditures for operating activities for the 2024 financial year:




Guidance March 2024

Operational Review of the Third Quarter 2024, Key Post Period-End Events and Outlook

Variant-adapted COVID-19 Vaccines

In the third quarter of 2024, BioNTech and Pfizer executed the commercial launch of their variant-adapted COVID-19 vaccines for the 2024/2025 vaccination season.
On July 3, 2024, BioNTech and Pfizer’s Omicron JN.1-adapted COVID-19 vaccine was approved by the European Commission (“EC”). Shortly following approval, the updated vaccines were made available to European Union (“EU”) member states. The EC approved the co-administration of the companies’ COVID-19 vaccine with approved seasonal influenza vaccines in individuals 12 years of age and older and also authorized glass pre-filled syringes, a new presentation of the vaccine that allows for refrigerated storage conditions. On September 24, 2024, the EC approved BioNTech and Pfizer’s Omicron KP.2-adapted COVID-19 vaccine. The companies began shipments of their KP.2-adapted COVID-19 vaccine to EU member states that ordered this formulation.
On August 22, 2024, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved the companies’ KP.2-adapted COVID-19 vaccine. The vaccines were shipped immediately following approval and made available in pharmacies, hospitals, and clinics across the U.S.
On July 24, 2024, the United Kingdom’s Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”) approved the companies’ JN.1-adapted vaccine and post period, on October 10, 2024, approved the companies’ KP.2-adapted COVID-19 vaccine.
BioNTech and Pfizer will continue to monitor the evolving epidemiology of COVID-19 and remain prepared to develop modified vaccine formulas as the data support and as regulatory agencies recommend.

COVID-19 – Influenza Combination Vaccine Program

An mRNA-based combination vaccine candidate (BNT162b2 + BNT161) against COVID-19 and influenza is in development in collaboration with Pfizer.
In August 2024, BioNTech and Pfizer provided topline results from the Phase 3 trial (NCT06178991) evaluating the companies’ mRNA combination vaccine candidate in healthy individuals 18-64 years of age. The vaccine candidate was compared to the co-administration of a licensed influenza vaccine with the companies’ licensed COVID-19 vaccine. The primary immunogenicity objectives were non-inferiority of the antibody responses to influenza (hemagglutination inhibition) and to SARS-CoV-2 (neutralizing titer) elicited by the combination vaccine candidate as compared to standard of care. The trial showed higher influenza A responses and comparable COVID-19 responses versus the comparator vaccines but did not meet one of its primary immunogenicity objectives of non-inferiority against the influenza B strain. No safety signals with the combination vaccine candidate have been identified in an ongoing safety data review. BioNTech and Pfizer are evaluating adjustments to the candidate and will discuss next steps with health authorities.

Next-Generation Immune Checkpoint Immunomodulator Programs

BNT327/PM8002 is a bispecific antibody candidate combining Programmed Cell Death Ligand-1 (“PD-L1”) checkpoint inhibition with Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A (“VEGF-A”) neutralization and is being developed in collaboration with Biotheus Inc. (“Biotheus”).
In October 2024, the first patient was dosed in a multi-site, open-label Phase 2 clinical trial (NCT06449222) to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of BNT327/PM8002 at two dose levels in combination with chemotherapy in the first- and second-line treatment of
4


https://cdn.kscope.io/9a9f1c89eaf880f5a34faba2174ccf87-image_0a.jpg
patients with locally advanced/metastatic triple negative breast cancer (“TNBC”). These data will inform a Phase 3 clinical trial in first-line TNBC that is expected to start in 2025.
In September 2024, the first patient was dosed in a multi-site, open-label Phase 2 clinical trial (NCT06449209) to evaluate BNT327/PM8002 in combination with chemotherapy in patients with untreated extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (“ES-SCLC”), and in patients with SCLC that progressed after first- or second-line treatment. These data will inform a Phase 3 clinical trial in first-line SCLC that is expected to start in 2024.
A Phase 2/3 clinical trial in first-line non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”) is expected to start in 2024.
In June 2024, evaluation of BNT327/PM8002 in combination with BNT325/DB-1305, a Trophoblast Cell-Surface Antigen 2 (“TROP2”)-targeted antibody-drug conjugate (“ADC”) candidate, was initiated as part of an ongoing Phase 1/2 clinical trial (NCT05438329). The clinical trial evaluates the safety and tolerability of BNT325/DB-1305 alone and in combination with BNT327/PM8002 in various solid tumor indications. Additional trials of novel BNT327/PM8002 combinations with proprietary ADCs are planned to start in 2024.
In September 2024, data were presented from three clinical trials evaluating BNT327/PM8002 in patients with advanced TNBC, Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (“EGFR”)-mutated NSCLC and renal cell carcinoma (“RCC”) at the 2024 Congress of the European Society for Medical Oncology (“ESMO”):
Data from an ongoing open-label, single-arm Phase 1/2 clinical trial (NCT05918133) evaluating BNT327/PM8002 in combination with chemotherapy as first-line treatment in patients with advanced or metastatic TNBC showed clinically meaningful anti-tumor activity regardless of PD-L1 status and a manageable safety profile with no new safety signals observed beyond those typically described for anti-PD-(L)1 therapies, anti-VEGF therapies, and chemotherapy.
Data from a Phase 2 clinical trial (NCT05756972) evaluating BNT327/PM8002 in combination with chemotherapy in patients with advanced EGFR-mutated NSCLC who progressed after EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor treatment showed encouraging anti-tumor activity regardless of PD-L1 status and a generally manageable safety profile.
Data from an open-label multi-cohort Phase 1/2 clinical trial (NCT05918445) evaluating BNT327/PM8002 monotherapy showed encouraging anti-tumor activity and a manageable safety profile in patients with previously untreated advanced non clear cell RCC or treated advanced clear cell RCC.
Data in first-line TNBC are planned to be presented at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium, taking place from December 10 to December 13 in San Antonio, Texas, U.S. Additional data are expected to be presented in 2025.

BNT316/ONC-392 (gotistobart) is an anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte Associated Protein 4 (“CTLA-4”) monoclonal antibody candidate being developed in collaboration with OncoC4, Inc. (“OncoC4”).
In October 2024, the FDA placed a partial clinical hold on the Phase 3 trial (PRESERVE-003; NCT05671510) due to varying results between patient populations. The trial assesses the efficacy and safety of BNT316/ONC-392 as monotherapy in patients with metastatic NSCLC that progressed under previous PD-(L)1-inhibitor treatment. Enrollment of new patients has been paused while patients already enrolled in the trial will continue to receive treatment. Trials evaluating BNT316/ONC-392 in other indications remain unaffected.
In September 2024, preliminary data from the Phase 2 (PRESERVE-004; NCT05446298) clinical trial evaluating BNT316/ONC-392 in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer were presented at ESMO. The data suggest encouraging preliminary clinical activity and a manageable tolerability profile with no new safety signals detected for the combination.

mRNA Cancer Vaccine Programs

BNT111, BNT113 and autogene cevumeran (BNT122/RO7198457) are investigational vaccines for the treatment of cancer based on BioNTech’s systemically administered uridine mRNA-lipoplex technology.

BNT111 is based on BioNTech’s wholly owned, off-the-shelf FixVac platform, and encodes shared melanoma associated antigens.
A randomized Phase 2 clinical trial (BNT111-01; NCT04526899) is being conducted in collaboration with Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Regeneron”) to evaluate BNT111 in combination with cemiplimab in patients with anti-PD-(L)1 refractory/relapsed, unresectable stage III or IV melanoma.
In July 2024, BioNTech announced that the trial met its primary efficacy outcome measure, demonstrating a statistically significant improvement in overall response rate (“ORR”) in patients treated with BNT111 in combination with cemiplimab, as compared to an historical control in this indication and treatment setting. The ORR in the cemiplimab monotherapy arm was in line with the historical control of anti-PD-(L)1 or anti-CTLA-4 treatments in this patient group. The treatment was generally well tolerated and the safety profile of BNT111 in combination with cemiplimab in this trial was consistent with previous clinical trials assessing BNT111 in combination with anti-PD-(L)1-containing treatments. The Phase 2 trial will continue as planned to further assess the secondary endpoints which were not mature at the time of the primary analysis.
BioNTech plans to present data from this trial at an upcoming medical conference in 2025.

BNT113 is based on BioNTech’s FixVac platform encoding Human Papilloma Virus 16 (“HPV16”) antigens.
A global, randomized Phase 2 clinical trial (AHEAD-MERIT; NCT04534205) is being conducted to evaluate BNT113 in combination with pembrolizumab versus pembrolizumab monotherapy as a first-line treatment in patients with unresectable, recurrent or metastatic, PD-L1+, HPV16+ head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
In September 2024, an exploratory analysis of antitumor activity (15 patients) and immunogenicity (3 patients) from the safety run-in of AHEAD-MERIT was presented at ESMO. The data support the tolerability of BNT113 and clinical activity in combination with pembrolizumab was observed. In addition, BNT113 was found to induce de novo T-cell responses against HPV16 antigens.
Also at ESMO, results were presented from an investigator-sponsored Phase 1/2 dose escalation clinical trial (HARE-40; NCT03418480) evaluating BNT113 alone in the post-adjuvant and metastatic settings in patients with HPV16+ head and neck and other cancers. BNT113 was shown to induce immune responses in patients in the adjuvant and end-stage clinical settings and to be overall well tolerated with a manageable safety profile.

Autogene cevumeran (BNT122/RO7198457) is an mRNA cancer vaccine candidate for individualized neoantigen-specific immunotherapy (“iNeST”) being developed in collaboration with Genentech, Inc. (“Genentech”), a member of the Roche Group (“Roche”).
A randomized, double-blind, multi-site Phase 2 clinical trial (IMCODE-004; NCT06534983) evaluating autogene cevumeran as an adjuvant treatment with nivolumab in patients with high-risk muscle-invasive urothelial cancer (“MIUC”) is enrolling patients. The trial aims to evaluate the efficacy of autogene cevumeran in combination with nivolumab compared to nivolumab alone in approximately 360 patients. The primary endpoint for the study is investigator-assessed disease-free survival (“DFS”). Secondary objectives include overall survival (“OS”) and safety.

https://cdn.kscope.io/9a9f1c89eaf880f5a34faba2174ccf87-image_0a.jpg
Autogene cevumeran is also being evaluated in ongoing Phase 2 trials in adjuvant resected pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (“PDAC”) (NCT05968326), adjuvant colorectal cancer (“CRC”) (NCT04486378) and first-line advanced melanoma (NCT03815058).
BioNTech plans to disclose interim data from the Phase 2 clinical trial (NCT04486378) in stage II (high-risk) and III circulating tumor DNA+ (“ctDNA”) adjuvant CRC, which is projected for late 2025 or 2026.

ADC Programs

BNT323/DB-1303 (trastuzumab pamirtecan) is an ADC candidate targeting Human Epidermal Growth Factor 2 (“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. A potentially registrational cohort of patients with HER2-expressing (IHC3+, 2+, 1+ or ISH-positive) advanced/recurrent endometrial carcinoma has completed enrollment. Data from this cohort are expected in 2025.
A confirmatory Phase 3 trial (NCT06340568) in patients with advanced endometrial cancer is in planning.
A pivotal Phase 3 trial (DYNASTY-Breast02; NCT06018337) is being conducted in patients with Hormone Receptor-positive (“HR+”) and HER2-low metastatic breast cancer that progressed on hormone therapy and/or Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 4/6 (“CDK4/6”) inhibition. In September 2024, a Trial-in-Progress poster was presented at ESMO.
Topline data from the ongoing Phase 3 trial in HR+ and HER2-low metastatic breast cancer that have progressed on hormone therapy and/or CDK4/6 inhibition are expected in 2026.

BNT324/DB-1311 is an ADC candidate targeting B7H3 that is being developed in collaboration with DualityBio.
A first-in-human, open-label Phase 1/2 clinical trial (NCT05914116) in patients with advanced solid tumors is ongoing.
In July 2024, the FDA granted Orphan Drug designation to BNT324/DB-1311 for the treatment of advanced or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
The first preliminary data update from this trial is expected to be presented at the ESMO Asia Congress (December 6-8, 2024 in Singapore).

BNT326/YL202 is an ADC candidate targeting Human Epidermal Growth Factor 3 (“HER3”) that is being developed in collaboration with MediLink Therapeutics (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. (“MediLink”).
A multi-site, international, open-label, first-in-human Phase 1 clinical trial (NCT05653752) sponsored by MediLink evaluating BNT326/YL202 as a later-line treatment in patients with locally advanced or metastatic EGFR-mutated NSCLC or HR+/HER2-negative breast cancer is ongoing. On August 15, 2024, the FDA lifted the partial clinical hold that was placed on this trial, initially announced on June 17, 2024. Trial recruitment has been reinitiated with a focus on dose levels no higher than 3 mg/kg, where the safety profile was manageable and encouraging clinical activity was observed.

Cell Therapy Programs

BNT211 consists of a chimeric antigen receptor (“CAR”)-T cell product candidate targeting Claudin-6 (“CLDN6”)-positive solid tumors in combination with a CAR-T cell-amplifying RNA vaccine (“CARVac”) encoding CLDN6.
A first-in-human, open-label, multi-site Phase 1 dose escalation and dose expansion basket trial (NCT04503278) is being conducted to evaluate BNT211 in patients with CLDN6-positive relapsed or refractory solid tumors, including ovarian cancers and testicular germ cell tumors.

In September 2024, data from the ongoing trial presented at ESMO showed signs of antitumor activity across indications. CARVac was shown to improve CAR-T persistence in some patients. The data also suggested that the safety profile of CLDN6 CAR T cells with and without CARVac is consistent with the previously published effects of CAR T therapies and that repeated CARVac administration does not significantly increase toxicity.
A pivotal Phase 2 trial in patients with testicular germ cell tumors is expected to start in 2025 based on encouraging activity observed in this patient group.
