Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2025 were €907.4 million, compared to €1,190.0 million for the comparative prior year period. For the year ended December 31, 2025, revenues were €2,869.9 million, compared to €2,751.1 million for the comparative prior year period. The quarterly year-on-year decrease was primarily driven by lower sales of the Company's COVID-19 vaccines due to reduced market demand. The full year revenue increase was primarily driven by revenues related to BioNTech's collaboration with Bristol Myers Squibb Company ("BMS") that were recognized in the third quarter of 2025.

Research and development ("R&D") expenses were €505.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to €611.8 million for the comparative prior year period. For the year ended December 31, 2025, R&D expenses were €2,104.9 million, compared to €2,254.2 million for the comparative prior year period. Both quarterly and full year year-on-year decreases were mainly driven by cost savings resulting from active portfolio management and positive effects resulting from our pumitamig cost sharing with BMS, partly offset by the acceleration of late-stage trials for immuno-oncology ("IO") and antibody-drug conjugate ("ADC") development programs.

Adjusted R&D expenses were €505.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to €530.3 million for the comparative prior year period. For the year ended December 31, 2025, adjusted R&D expenses were €2,019.5 million, compared to €2,172.7 million for the comparative prior year period. For 2025 and 2024, the Company's adjusted R&D expenses exclude impairments.

Sales, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses⁷ were €217.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to €132.1 million for the comparative prior year period. For the year ended December 31, 2025, SG&A expenses were €624.4 million, compared to €599.0 million for the comparative prior year period. Both quarterly and full year year-on-year increases were mainly driven by our ongoing commercial build-up, partly offset by lower costs for external services.

Other operating result was negative €173.6 million during the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to negative €54.0 million for the comparative prior year period. For the year ended December 31, 2025, other operating result was negative €903.7 million compared to negative €670.9 million for the prior year period. Both quarterly and full year year-on-year decreases were primarily driven by expenses from settlements of contractual disputes, expenses in connection with our pipeline prioritization and foreign exchange differences.

Adjusted other operating result was €21.4 million during the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to negative €1.6 million for the comparative prior year period. For the year ended December 31, 2025, other operating result was negative €0.6 million compared to negative €13.5 million for the prior year period. For fiscal years 2025 and 2024, our quarterly and full year adjusted other operating results exclude expenses in connection with the settlements of legal proceedings. In addition, our quarterly and full year adjusted other operating results during fiscal year 2025 exclude employee-related costs in connection with our pipeline prioritization and a bargain purchase.

Net loss was €305.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to a net income of €259.5 million for the comparative prior year period. For the year ended December 31, 2025, net loss was €1,136.1 million, compared to a net loss of €665.3 million for the comparative prior year period.

Adjusted net loss was €79.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to an adjusted net profit of €432.4 million for the comparative prior year period. For the year ended December 31, 2025, adjusted net loss was €117.1 million, compared to an adjusted net profit of €121.7 million for the comparative prior year period.

Diluted loss per share was €1.25 for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to diluted earnings per share of €1.08 for the comparative prior year period. For the year ended December 31, 2025, diluted loss per share was €4.70, compared to diluted loss per share of €2.77 for the comparative prior year period.

Adjusted diluted loss per share was €0.33 for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to adjusted diluted earnings per share of €1.79 for the comparative prior year period. For the year ended December 31, 2025, adjusted diluted loss per share was €0.48, compared to adjusted diluted earnings per share of €0.50 for the comparative prior year period.

Cash, cash equivalents and security investments as of December 31, 2025 were €17,235.6 million, comprising €7,675.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, €7,158.5 million in current security investments disclosed as financial assets and €2,401.7 million in non-current security investments disclosed as financial assets.

Shares outstanding as of December 31, 2025 were 251,325,340, excluding 7,702,147 shares held in treasury.

2026 Financial Year Guidance⁶:

Revenues for the 2026 financial year

€2,000 - €2,300 m

In 2026, BioNTech anticipates lower COVID-19 vaccine revenues compared to 2025, driven by declines in both the European and United States markets. The United States continues to be a competitive and dynamic market, where as a result, lower revenues are expected. In Europe, we expect lower revenues as we defend our market share and begin managing the transition of multi-year contracts. In Germany, specifically, BioNTech recognizes direct sales of its COVID-19 vaccines as revenue. Hence, the anticipated declines in the Company's sales of COVID-19 vaccines in the country will have a direct impact on its topline, whereas revenues outside of Germany only affect the Company's topline as part of the 50% gross profit split with our partner Pfizer Inc. ("Pfizer"). Per the outlined partnership terms, revenues from the collaboration with BMS in 2026 are expected to be broadly in line with 2025. Revenues from the pandemic preparedness contract with the German government and service businesses are expected to remain stable.

Planned 2026 Financial Year Adjusted Expenses⁶:

Adjusted R&D expenses		€2,200 - €2,500 m
Adjusted SG&A expenses		€700 - €800 m

BioNTech will continue to focus investments on R&D and scaling the business for late-stage development and commercial readiness in oncology, while remaining cost-disciplined. Strategic capital allocation will continue to foster innovation and be 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 creating future value.

The full audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, can be found in BioNTech's Annual Report on Form 20-F filed today with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and available at www.sec.gov.
