2Basis of Preparation, Significant Accounting Policies and further Accounting Topics
Basis of Preparation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2022 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the consolidated financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 20-F as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021.
We prepare and present our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in Euros and round numbers to millions of Euros. Accordingly, numerical figures shown as totals in some tables may not be exact arithmetic aggregations of the figures that preceded them and figures presented in the explanatory notes may not add up to the rounded arithmetic aggregations.
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2022 include BioNTech SE and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements requires our management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and the accompanying disclosures. This includes but is not limited to the judgment described as "Pfizer Agreement Characteristics" in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021. In order to determine our share of the collaboration partner's gross profits, we used certain information from the collaboration partner, including revenues from the sale of products, some of which is based on preliminary data shared between the partners. These estimated figures may change in future periods as we receive final data from our collaboration partner. Those changes in our share of the collaboration partner's gross profit are recognized prospectively as a change in estimates. Our management continually evaluates judgments and estimates, including such related to the fair value measurement of derivatives, revenues and expenses. Management bases its judgments and estimates on parameters available when the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared. Existing
circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond our control. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.
Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, except for income taxes which are accounted for using the expected annual tax rate in our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements (see Note 5). Certain policies have been described further below due to the activities related to and the transactions occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Foreign Exchange Forward Contracts
Effects from foreign exchange forward contracts are either shown as other operating income or expenses on a cumulative basis and might switch between those two positions during the year-to-date reporting periods.
Standards Applied for the First Time
The IFRS standards applied for the first time as of January 1, 2022, as disclosed in the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, had no impact on our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Operational Impacts of COVID-19
As we advance our clinical programs, we are in close contact with our principal investigators and clinical sites, and are assessing the impact on the clinical trials, expected timelines and costs on an ongoing basis. We have modified the business practices in response to the spread of COVID-19, including restricting employee travel, developing social distancing plans for employees and cancelling physical participation in meetings, events and conferences. In addition, for certain programs, including BNT111, BNT113, BNT122, BNT141 and BNT142 (RiboMabs), BNT151 and BNT152 153 (RiboCytokines) and BNT161 (Influenza), delays in the commencement of trials were experienced, due to slowed patient enrollment and other delays as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. After several months of delay to focus efforts on our COVID-19 vaccine in 2020, in 2021 we started four Phase 2 clinical trials two for our FixVac product candidates BNT111 and BNT113, one each for our iNeST program BNT122 as well as for our bispecific antibody program BNT311. In addition, we have started multiple Phase 1 clinical trials that include product candidates for BNT211 (CARVac), BNT221 (NEO-PTC-01, a neoantigen-based T-cell therapy), BNT151 and BNT152+153 (RiboCytokines) and BNT141 (RiboMab). The delays, even though they were temporary, may negatively impact our operations and overall business by delaying further progress of these clinical trials and preclinical studies. Our operations, including research and manufacturing, could also be negatively impacted due to the potential impact of staff absences as a result of self-isolation procedures or extended illness. Such factors were evaluated and considered when preparing these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2022. We will continue to evaluate observed and potential effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
3Revenues from Contracts with Customers

| Share of collaboration partners' gross profit and sales milestones | 4,586.9 | 1,751.9 | ||||
| Other sales | 9.0 | 11.9 | ||||
| Total | 6,374.6 | 2,048.4 |
(1) Represents sales to our collaboration partners of products manufactured by us.
Research Development Revenues from Collaborations
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, research and development revenues were mainly derived from our collaborations with Genentech Inc., or Genentech. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2022, we entered into a new research, development and commercialization collaboration with Pfizer Inc., or Pfizer, to develop a potential first mRNA-based vaccine for the prevention of shingles (herpes zoster virus, or HZV). Under the terms of the agreement, an amount of 67.5 million was classified as upfront payment and recognized as contract liability in our unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of financial position. The amount is recognized as revenues upon advancement of research and development activities.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, commercial revenues were recognized from the supply and sales of our COVID-19 vaccine worldwide. We are the marketing authorization holder in the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Canada and other countries, and holder of emergency use authorizations or equivalents in the United States (jointly with Pfizer) and other countries submissions to pursue regulatory approvals on those countries where emergency use authorizations or equivalent were initially granted are ongoing. Pfizer has marketing and distribution rights worldwide with the exception of China, Germany and Turkey. Fosun Pharma has marketing and distribution rights in China, Hong Kong special administrative region, or SAR, Macau SAR and the region of Taiwan. The allocation of marketing and distribution rights defines territories in which the collaboration partners act as a principal.
Whenever responsibilities in the manufacturing and supply process of the COVID-19 vaccine shift and our COVID-19 vaccine is transferred, the vaccine is sold from one partner to the other. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we recognized 603.2 million and 63.9 million of revenues, respectively, from selling drug product batches manufactured by us to our partners.
By supplying our territories during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we recognized 1,163.1 million and 199.8 million of revenues, respectively, from direct COVID-19 vaccine sales in Germany and Turkey. The share of gross profit that we owe our collaboration partner Pfizer based on our sales is recognized as cost of sales.
Based on COVID-19 vaccine sales in the collaboration partners' territories, we are eligible to receive a share of their gross profit which represents a net figure and is recognized as collaboration revenues during the commercial phase together with sales milestones that are recorded once the underlying thresholds are met. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, 4,586.9 million gross profit share was recognized as revenues. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, 1,504.7 million gross profit share and 247.2 million of sales milestones were recognized as revenues. In order to determine our share of our collaboration partners' gross profits, we used certain information from the collaboration partners, some of which is based on preliminary data shared between the partners and might vary once final data is available. The true-up recognized prospectively during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, with respect to the previous period, was not material.

The fair value adjustments were derived from remeasuring the derivative embedded in our convertible note (see Note 6).
For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, income taxes were calculated based on the best estimate of the weighted average annual income tax rates expected for the full financial years (estimated annual effective income tax rates) on ordinary income before tax plus the tax effect of any discrete items. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, our effective income tax rate was approximately 26.3% and 31.3%, respectively, in part due to average trade tax rates in Mainz, Marburg and Idar-Oberstein decreasing from 2022 onward. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, current income taxes were recognized with respect to the German tax group. Deferred tax effects were recognized with respect to identified discrete items. In addition, the non-tax effective fair value measurement of the convertible note was considered as permanent difference. As of March 31, 2022, we continue to maintain a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets of our U.S. tax group as there is not sufficient probability in terms of IAS 12 that there will be future taxable profits available against which the unused tax losses and temporary differences can be utilized.

Equity Instruments Designated at Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income
Equity investments generally are made in conjunction with our existing commercial partnerships. In accordance with IFRS 9 we elected to present gains and losses on our equity investments in other comprehensive income to avoid fluctuation to be disclosed in our unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of profit or loss. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, no material gains and losses on our equity investments have occurred.
Financial Assets at Amortized Cost
Trade and other receivables mainly remained constant and predominantly comprise trade receivables from our COVID-19 collaboration with Pfizer as well as our direct product sales to customers in our territory. The contractual settlement of the gross profit share has a temporal offset of more than one calendar quarter. As Pfizer's fiscal quarter for subsidiaries outside the United States differs from ours, it creates an additional time lag between the recognition of revenues and the payment receipt. Consequently, as of March 31, 2022, our trade receivables included trade receivables which related to the gross profit share for the fourth quarter of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022. The payment settling our gross profit share for the fourth quarter of 2021 (as defined by the contract) was received from our collaboration partner in April 2022, subsequent to the end of the reporting period. Of our trade receivables outstanding as of March 31, 2022, we had collected 5,243.8 million in cash by April 14, 2022.
