MAINZ, Germany, August 5, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BioNTech SE (Nasdaq: BNTX, “BioNTech” or “the Company”) today reported financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, and provided an update on its corporate progress.
“The year to date has been marked by significant data updates across our oncology portfolio. These readouts reinforce the potential of our platform technologies including our individualized and off-the-shelf mRNA vaccine platforms, iNeST and FixVac. We have also advanced our strategy by initiating clinical trials evaluating novel combinations of synergistic drug candidates. Notably, we dosed the first patient in a trial evaluating the combination of the TROP2 antibody-drug conjugate BNT325/DB-1305 and the PD-L1-VEGF-A bispecific BNT327/PM8002, aiming to harness the potent anti-tumor activity of antibody drug conjugates along with the sustained benefit of immunomodulators,” said Prof. Ugur Sahin, M.D., CEO and Co-Founder of BioNTech. “In addition, we have started commercializing variant-adapted COVID-19 vaccines for the upcoming season, while accelerating our clinical development efforts to realize the full potential of our technologies. We are making progress towards our goal of becoming a company with marketed medicines for cancer and infectious diseases.”
Financial Review for Second Quarter and First Half of 2024

in millions €, except per share data | | | Second Quarter 2024 | | | Second Quarter 2023 | | | First Half 2024 | | | First Half 2023 |
Revenues | | | 128.7 | | | 167.7 | | | 316.3 | | | 1,444.7 |
Net Profit / (Loss) | | | (807.8) | | | (190.4) | | | (1,122.9) | | | 311.8 |
(Loss) / Diluted Earnings per Share | | | (3.36) | | | (0.79) | | | (4.67) | | | 1.28 |
Revenues reported were €128.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to €167.7 million for the comparative prior year period. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, revenues were €316.3 million, compared to €1,444.7 million for the comparative prior year period. The year-over-year change was mainly due to lower revenues from the sales of the Company’s COVID-19 vaccines worldwide resulting from the continued shift in demand from a pandemic to a seasonal endemic COVID-19 vaccine market.
Cost of sales were €59.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to €162.9 million for the comparative prior year period. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, cost of sales were €118.9 million, compared to €258.9 million for the comparative prior year period. The change was mainly due to COVID-19 vaccine production in line with demand.
Research and development (“R&D”) expenses were €584.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to €373.4 million for the comparative prior year period. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, R&D expenses were €1,092.1 million, compared to €707.4 million for the comparative prior year period. R&D expenses were mainly influenced by progressing clinical studies for the Company’s late-stage oncology pipeline candidates. Further contributions to the increase came from wages, benefits and social security expenses resulting from an increase in headcount.
Sales, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses2, in total, amounted to €183.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to €137.9 million for the comparative prior year period. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, SG&A expenses were €316.4 million, compared to €261.9 million for the comparative prior year period. SG&A expenses were primarily driven by increased expenses for IT environment and wages, benefits, and social security expenses resulting from an increase in headcount.
Other operating result amounted to €266.7 million negative operating result during the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to €56.8 million negative operating result for the comparative prior year period. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, other operating result amounted to €262.3 million negative operating result compared with €125.4 million negative operating result for the prior year period. This change was primarily due to the recording of a provision related to a contractual dispute.
Income taxes were accrued with an amount of €2.0 million of tax expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to €221.8 million of realized tax income for the comparative prior year period. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, income taxes were realized with an amount of €14.7 million of tax income for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to €16.3 million of realized tax income for the comparative prior year period. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024, was approximately 1.3%.
Net loss was €807.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to €190.4 million loss for the comparative prior year period. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, loss was €1,122.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to a profit of €311.8 million for the comparative prior year period.
Cash and cash equivalents plus security investments as of June 30, 2024, reached €18,485.1 million, comprising €10,376.7 million cash and cash equivalents, €6,916.7 million current security investments and €1,191.7 million non-current security investments. This position increased during the second quarter of 2024 largely attributable to a cash payment received from BioNTech’s collaboration partner Pfizer Inc. (“Pfizer”).
Loss per share was €3.36 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to €0.79 for the comparative prior year period. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, loss per share was €4.67, compared to diluted earnings per share of €1.28 for the comparative prior year period.
Shares outstanding as of June 30, 2024 were 237,766,235, excluding 10,785,965 shares held in treasury.
“Our second quarter revenues correspond to the current demand of a seasonal endemic COVID-19 vaccine market,” said Jens Holstein, CFO of BioNTech. “Supported by our strong financial position,
we will continue to focus on our long-term growth strategy throughout the remainder of the year. This includes our clinical pipeline for individualized therapies, the build-out of our manufacturing capacities and capabilities to support additional late-stage trials as well as our commercialization activities. These investments build the foundation for the next stage of growth and the transformation of BioNTech into a multi-product company.”
2024 Financial Year Guidance3 Reiterated
The Company reiterates its prior outlook for the financial year:
| | | | | | | | |
Total revenues for the 2024 financial year | | €2.5 billion - €3.1 billion |
BioNTech expects revenues for the full 2024 financial year to be in the range of €2.5 to €3.1 billion. The range reflects certain assumptions and expectations, including, but not limited to: the timing and granting of regulatory approvals and recommendations; COVID-19 vaccine uptake and price levels; inventory write-downs by BioNTech’s collaboration partner Pfizer that would negatively influence BioNTech’s revenues; seasonal variations in SARS-CoV-2 circulation and vaccination uptake, which are expected to lead to demand peaks in the autumn and winter compared to other seasons; and revenues from a pandemic preparedness contract with the German government as well as revenues from the BioNTech Group service businesses, namely InstaDeep Ltd., JPT Peptide Technologies GmbH, and in Idar-Oberstein at BioNTech Innovative Manufacturing Services GmbH. Generally, the Company continues to remain largely dependent on revenues generated in its collaboration partner’s territories in 2024.
Planned 2024 Financial Year Expenses and Capex:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
R&D expenses4 | | | €2.4 billion - €2.6 billion | |
SG&A expenses | | | €700 million - €800 million | |
Capital expenditures for operating activities | | | €400 million - €500 million | |
The full interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements can be found in BioNTech’s Report on Form 6-K for the period ended June 30, 2024, filed today with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and available at https://www.sec.gov/.

Operational Review of the Second Quarter 2024, Key Post Period-End Events and Outlook
Variant-adapted Monovalent COVID-19 Vaccines (COMIRNATY®)
•In April 2024, the World Health Organization (“WHO”), the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) and, subsequently, other health authorities, provided guidance highlighting that updated vaccines targeting Omicron JN.1 or JN.1 sublineages may contribute to maintaining protection against COVID-19 during the upcoming fall and winter seasons.
•On June 27, 2024, BioNTech and Pfizer announced that the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (“CHMP”) of the EMA recommended marketing authorization for the companies’ Omicron JN.1-adapted monovalent COVID-19 vaccine (COMIRNATY® JN.1) for active immunization to prevent COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 in individuals six months of age and older. On July 3, 2024, the European Commission (“EC”) adopted a decision following the CHMP’s recommendation. Shortly following the EC decision, the updated vaccine was made available to ship to EU member states.
•On June 6, 2024, the U.S. FDA’s Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee (“VRBPAC”) issued guidance recommending the manufacturing of a JN.1-adapted monovalent COVID-19 vaccine for the 2024/2025 fall and winter seasons. On June 13, 2024, the U.S. FDA announced the KP.2 strain as the preferred JN.1-lineage for COVID-19 vaccines (2024-2025 Formula). In June 2024, BioNTech and Pfizer submitted regulatory applications to the U.S. FDA for the companies’ Omicron JN.1-adapted monovalent vaccine, and initiated a rolling sBLA for an Omicron KP.2-adapted monovalent vaccine. The companies plan to prepare shipments in the United States of KP.2-adapted monovalent COVID-19 vaccines for fast delivery following potential regulatory approval, currently expected in September 2024.
•On July 24, 2024, the United Kingdom’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”) approved the companies’ Omicron JN.1-adapted vaccine.
COVID-19 – Influenza Combination Vaccine Program
BNT162b2 + BNT161 is an mRNA-based combination vaccine program against COVID-19 and influenza being developed in collaboration with Pfizer.
•Top-line data from the Phase 1/2 trial (NCT05596734) demonstrated robust immune responses to influenza A, influenza B, and SARS-CoV-2 strains and that the safety profile of the candidates was consistent with the profile of the companies’ COVID-19 vaccine.
•A Phase 3 clinical trial (NCT06178991) is fully enrolled and data are expected later this year.
Select Oncology Pipeline Highlights
Cancer Vaccine Programs
BNT111 is based on BioNTech’s FixVac platform, and is a wholly owned, systemically administered, off-the-shelf uridine mRNA-lipoplex based cancer vaccine candidate encoding shared melanoma associated antigens.
•A randomized Phase 2 clinical trial (NCT04526899) being conducted in collaboration with Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Regeneron”) is ongoing to evaluate BNT111 in combination with cemiplimab, BNT111 alone, or cemiplimab alone in anti-PD-1-/anti-PD-L1 refractory/relapsed, unresectable stage III or IV melanoma.
•In July 2024, BioNTech announced that the study met its primary efficacy outcome measure, demonstrating a statistically significant improvement in overall response rate (“ORR”) in patients treated with BNT111 in combination with the anti-PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor, cemiplimab, as compared to a 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-L1 or anti-CTLA-4 treatments in this patient group. The treatment was 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-L1-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.
BNT113 is a cancer vaccine candidate based on FixVac’s platform encoding for shared antigens associated with Human Papilloma Virus (“HPV16+”) head and neck cancer.
•A global, randomized Phase 2 clinical trial (NCT04534205) evaluating BNT113 in combination with pembrolizumab versus pembrolizumab monotherapy as a first-line treatment in patients with unresectable recurrent or metastatic HPV16+ head and neck squamous cell carcinoma expressing PD-L1 is ongoing.
•Data updates are expected to be presented at the 2024 Congress of the European Society of Medical Oncology (“ESMO”) taking place from September 13-17, 2024 in Barcelona, Spain.

Autogene cevumeran (BNT122) is a uridine mRNA-lipoplex based cancer vaccine candidate for individualized neoantigen-specific immunotherapy (“iNeST”) being developed in collaboration with Genentech, Inc. (“Genentech”), a member of the Roche Group (“Roche”).
•Autogene cevumeran is being evaluated in ongoing Phase 2 trials in adjuvant resected pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (“PDAC”) (NCT05968326), first-line melanoma (NCT03815058) and adjuvant colorectal cancer (“CRC”) (NCT04486378). A Phase 2 clinical trial in an additional indication is planned.
•In June 2024, epidemiologic data were presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (“ASCO”) Annual Meeting, including data on post-operative circulating tumor DNA (“ctDNA”) prevalence and prognostic value in disease-free survival, from an observational study (NCT04813627) in patients with resected high-risk stage II/III CRC. These epidemiological and prognostic data are supportive of the ongoing interventional Phase 2 clinical trial (NCT04486378).
•Also in June 2024, at the 2024 European Society for Medical Oncology Gastrointestinal Cancers (“ESMO-GI”) Congress, immunogenicity data were presented from the biomarker cohort of the ongoing Phase 2 (NCT04486378) that enrolled patients irrespective of post-surgical ctDNA status. The data indicate that autogene cevumeran is highly immunogenic and induces de novo polyepitopic, ex vivo detectable T-cell responses in all evaluable patients with resected stage II (high risk) or III CRC after completion of adjuvant chemotherapy. Among patients included in the immunogenicity analysis, all (12/12) were disease-free at data cut off.
•Preliminary data from the ongoing Phase 2 clinical trial (NCT04486378) in stage II (high risk) and III ctDNA+ adjuvant CRC is expected in late 2025 or 2026.
Next-Generation Immune Checkpoint Immunomodulator Programs
BNT327/PM8002 is a bispecific antibody candidate combining PD-L1 checkpoint inhibition with VEGF-A neutralization and is being developed in collaboration with Biotheus Inc. (“Biotheus”).
•BNT327/PM8002 is currently being evaluated in multiple Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical trials in China to assess the efficacy and safety of the candidate as monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy in various indications.
•In June 2024, at the 2024 ASCO Annual Meeting, monotherapy data were presented from an ongoing Phase 1/2 clinical trial (NCT05918445) for cohorts of patients with advanced cervical cancer (“CC”), platinum-resistant recurrent ovarian cancer (“PROC”), and advanced non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”).
◦Data on 48 patients with advanced CC showed an ORR of 42.2% (52.4% in patients with PD-L1-positive tumors), a disease control rate (“DCR”) of 93.3%, and a median progression-free survival (“mPFS”) of 8.3 months. Data on 39 patients with PROC showed an ORR of 20.6%, a DCR of 67.7%, and a mPFS of 5.5 months. Treatment related adverse events (“TRAEs”) occurred in 95.4% of patients (83/87) with ≥ Grade 3 TRAEs in 36.8% (32/87) and 14.9% (13/87) of patients discontinued BNT327/PM8002 treatment due to TRAEs. Median follow-up time in patients with CC and PROC was 13.8 months and 14.8 months, respectively.
◦Data on 61 patients with non-squamous NSCLC were also presented. Data on 17 evaluable patients with untreated NSCLC wild-type and PD-L1-positive showed an ORR of 47.1%, a DCR of 100% and a mPFS of 13.6 months at a median follow-up of 11.3 months. Data on 36 evaluable patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (“EGFR”)-mutant NSCLC after progression on prior EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor treatment showed an ORR of 19.4%, a DCR of 69.4% and a mPFS of 5.5 months at a median follow-up of 12.6 months. Data from 8 evaluable patients with EGFR/anaplastic lymphoma kinase (“ALK”) wild-type NSCLC that progressed after anti-PD-1/L1 therapy and platinum-based chemotherapy showed an ORR of 12.5%, a DCR of 62.5%, and a mPFS of 5.8 months at a median follow-up of 5.8 months. TRAEs occurred in 85.2% of patients (52/61) with ≥Grade 3 TRAEs in 19.7% (12/61), serious adverse events were observed in 24.6% (15/61) of patients, 8.2% (5/61) of patients discontinued BNT327/PM8002 treatment due to TRAEs.
•In June 2024, the first patient was dosed in the Phase 1/2 clinical trial (NCT05438329) evaluating the combination of BNT327/PM8002 with BNT325/DB-1305, an antibody-drug conjugate (“ADC”) candidate targeting TROP-2. Additional trials with novel BNT327 and other ADC combinations are planned to begin this year.
•Two Phase 2 dose optimization studies are expected to start soon.
◦A 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 patients with locally advanced/metastatic triple negative breast cancer (“TNBC”).
◦A Phase 2 clinical trial (NCT06449209) to evaluate BNT327/PM8002 in combination with chemotherapy in patients with untreated extended-stage small-cell lung cancer (“ES-SCLC”) or small-cell lung cancer (“SCLC”) progressed on first- or second-line treatment.
◦Data from these studies are expected as early as 2025.

•In July 2024, the U.S. FDA granted Orphan Drug designation to BNT324/DB-1311 for the treatment of patients with advanced or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
BNT326/YL202 is an ADC candidate targeting HER3 that is being developed in collaboration with MediLink Therapeutics (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. (“MediLink”).
•A multicenter, 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+ and HER2-negative BC is on
partial clinical hold by the U.S. FDA, as announced on June 17, 2024. BioNTech and MediLink are working to address the U.S. FDA’s requirements and resolve the partial clinical hold.
•Preliminary data from this study were presented at the 2024 ASCO Annual Meeting. BNT326/YL202 demonstrated encouraging activity in heavily pretreated locally advanced/metastatic NSCLC and BC with an ORR of 42.3% (22 out of 52 evaluable patients) and a DCR of 94.2% (49/52), with responses seen from the first dose level at 0.5 mg/kg. The safety profile of BNT326/YL202 was consistent with its mechanism of action and dose-dependent. The most common TRAEs were due to hematologic toxicity and gastrointestinal disorders. 7.3% (4/55) of patients discontinued treatment due to TRAEs, and there were 3 treatment-related Grade 5 events (deaths) at higher doses. Further clinical development is expected to focus on dose levels below 4.0 mg/kg, where the safety profile was manageable and encouraging clinical activity was observed.
Cell Therapy Programs
BNT211 consists of two investigational medicinal products: a 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-center Phase 1 dose escalation and dose expansion basket trial (NCT04503278) evaluating CLDN6 CAR-T cells as monotherapy or in combination with CLDN6 CARVac in patients with CLDN6-positive relapsed or refractory solid tumors, including ovarian cancers and testicular germ cell tumors, is ongoing.
•A data update is expected to be presented at the 2024 ESMO Congress.
Abstract Title: Updated results from BNT211-01 (NCT04503278), an ongoing, first-in-human, Phase 1 study evaluating safety and efficacy of CLDN6 CAR T cells and a CLDN6-encoding mRNA vaccine in patients with relapsed/refractory CLDN6+ solid tumors

Author: J. B. Haanen
•A pivotal Phase 2 trial in patients with testicular germ cell tumors is expected to start in 2025 based on encouraging data in this patient group observed in the Phase 1 trial.
•BioNTech presented an analysis of real-world evidence investigating overall survival and treatment patterns of patients with testicular germ cell tumors receiving palliative chemotherapy at the 2024 ASCO Annual Meeting. This analysis will inform the design of the Company’s planned pivotal clinical trial to evaluate BNT211 in patients with germ cell tumors.
Corporate Update for the Second Quarter 2024 and Key Post Period-End Events
•In May 2024, BioNTech expanded its strategic partnership with the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (“CEPI”) to contribute to building a sustainable and resilient end-to-end African vaccine ecosystem. CEPI is committing up to US $145 million to support BioNTech in broadening the scope of the manufacturing facility in Kigali, Rwanda. These capabilities will contribute to BioNTech and CEPI’s efforts to better prepare for potential future epidemic and pandemic threats in Africa.
•On July 1, 2024, Annemarie Hanekamp joined the Company’s Management Board as Chief Commercial Officer and James Ryan, Ph.D., Chief Legal Officer, also assumed the role of Chief Business Officer.
