( CureVac or CV or the Company ) is the parent company of CureVac Group ( Group ) and, along with its subsidiaries, is a global biopharmaceutical company developing a new class of transformative medicines based on the messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) that has the potential to improve the lives of people.
The Company is incorporated in the Netherlands and is registered in the commercial register at the Netherlands Chamber of Commerce under 77798031. The Company's registered headquarters is Friedrich-Miescher-Strasse 15, 72076 Tuebingen, Germany. During 2021 until now, Dievini Hopp BioTech holding GmbH & Co. KG (dievini), which is an investment company dedicated to the support of companies in health and life sciences, is the largest shareholder of CureVac. Together with its related parties, dievini has held shares and voting rights in CureVac between appr. 45 49 % during that period. dievini is thus considered to be the de facto parent of the Group. Dietmar Hopp, Daniel Hopp and Oliver Hopp are the ultimate controlling persons (of the main shareholders) of dievini, and, therefore, control the voting and investment decisions of dievini.
2. Basis of preparation
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and for the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements were authorized by the Management Board for presentation to the Supervisory Board on November 16, 2022. The Group's interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in Euros ( EUR ). Unless otherwise stated, amounts are rounded to thousands of Euros, except per share amounts.
New standards, interpretations and amendments adopted by the Group
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. The new and amended standards and interpretations applied for the first time as of January 1, 2022, as disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021, had no impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.
Impact of COVID-19 and the Russia-Ukraine Conflict
As the Group is currently devoting significant resources to the development of COVID vaccines, such development may impair the ability to timely progress other product candidates in clinical trials or into clinical trials from their current preclinical stage. In addition, enrollment in other programs may be delayed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and our focus on developing a COVID vaccine could have a negative impact on our progress on and associated revenue recognition from our non-COVID-19 collaborations. The partial disruption, even temporary, may negatively impact the Company's operations and overall business by delaying the progress of its clinical trials and preclinical studies. The Group's operations, including research and manufacturing, could also be disrupted due to the potential of the impact of staff absences as a result of self-isolation procedures or extended illness. However, the Group has taken a series of actions aimed at safeguarding its employees and business associates, including implementing a work-from-home policy for employees except for those related to its laboratory and production operations. The Group is running COVID antigen tests on a weekly basis for employees on the premises.
The ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine has not and is not expected to have a material direct or indirect effect on the Group's operations or financial condition: however, the Group is currently operating in a period of economic uncertainty and capital markets disruption, which has been significantly impacted by geopolitical instability due to the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine. As a result of this instability and responding actions taken by the United States, Russia, EU, and other Foreign Governments, this may limit or prevent filing, prosecuting, and maintaining of patient applications in Russia. Government actions may also prevent maintenance of issued patents in Russia. These actions could result in abandonment or lapse of our patents or patent applications in Russia, resulting in partial or complete loss of patent rights in Russia. In addition, a decree was adopted by the Russian government in March 2022, allowing Russian companies and individuals to exploit, without consent or compensation, inventions owned by patentees that have citizenship or nationality in, are registered in, or have predominately primary place of business or profit-making activities in countries that Russia has deemed unfriendly. Consequently, we would not be able to prevent third parties from using our inventions in Russia or from selling or importing products made using our inventions in and into Russia. Accordingly, our competitive position may be impaired, and our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be materially adversely affected.
3. Notes to the consolidated financial statements
3.1 Revenue from contract with customers
The Group recognized the following revenues:

Total 61,765 55,731
Of these revenues, all of which were recognized over time as part of collaboration agreements, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 EUR 40,278k (September 30, 2021: EUR 49,878k) related to (i) delivery of research services combined with an IP license (recognized from the upfront payments as further illustrated in the table below) and the reaching of a milestone, (ii) EUR 1,413k (September 30, 2021: EUR 1,400k) related to delivery of products and (iii) EUR 14,040k (September 30, 2021: EUR 10,489k) were recognized from those research and development services considered distinct within the agreements.
Of the total revenues recognized, in the nine months ended September 30, 2022, EUR 52,746k in revenue was recognized under the collaboration agreements with GSK, entered into in July 2020, for the research, development, manufacturing and commercialization of mRNA-based vaccines and monoclonal antibodies targeting infectious disease pathogens ( GSK I ) and in April 2021 for research, development and manufacturing of next-generation mRNA vaccines targeting the original SARS-CoV-2 strain as well as emerging variants, including multivalent and monovalent approaches, such as CureVac's second-generation COVID-19 vaccine candidate, CV2CoV ( GSK II ). In the first quarter of 2022, the Company reached a development milestone of EUR 10,000k under the GSK I collaboration. Therefore, revenue for the nine months ending September 30, 2022, also includes recognition of EUR 5,789k of the milestone amount. The remaining EUR 4,211k of the milestone amount is deferred as contract liability and will be recognized into revenue through the estimated completion date of Phase 1 clinical trials, which represents the period of time during which CureVac is responsible for development as, subsequent to this period, GSK will be responsible for further development and commercialization. In the nine months ended September 30, 2021, revenue from the collaborations with GSK consisted of EUR 49,621k primarily recognized from the amortization of upfront and milestone payments.
The Group has received upfront payments which were initially deferred and are subsequently recognized as revenue as the Group renders services over the performance period. Below is a summary of such payments and the related revenues recognized:

The cost of sales consists of the following:
Nine months ended September 30,

EUR k EUR k
Personnel ( 14,897 ) ( 19,076 )

Other ( 2,369 ) ( 688 )
Total ( 168,177 ) ( 103,992 )
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, cost of sales mainly decreased compared to the same period of 2021 due to Third-Party Services having been higher last year for set-up activities for the CVnCoV production process. This decrease was partially offset by increased write-offs for raw materials amounting to EUR 41,295k, which were procured for manufacturing of products to sell to GSK that are now no longer expected to be purchased.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, research and development expenses decreased significantly in comparison to the same period of 2021, as the prior period was largely impacted by the Group s CVnCoV program in 2021. In the prior year, these expenses consist primarily of cost incurred to CROs involved in the CVnCoV development as well as materials used in the administration of clinical trials. As a result of more participants leaving the clinical trials, prior to completion, than originally estimated and of renegotiations of contracts with CROs, in the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the estimated outstanding costs for the CVnCoV studies decreased, due primarily to re-negotiations of contracts, and resulted in the reversal of provision for onerous contracts in the amount of EUR 36,769k. Additionally, a net gain for a change of estimate in the contract termination provisions resulted primarily from GSK taking over, from the Group, committed capacity at Novartis (see Note 3.6 for additional information). The net effect of these two events resulted in an overall gain within the Third-party services category.
Further, in the nine months ended on September 30, 2022, the balance was impacted by an increase in material consumed in research and development. As of September 30, 2022, the Group had no development expenditures which met the requirements for capitalization and thus none have been capitalized. In 2021, according to the terms and conditions of the grant from BMBF, the Group earned income (recognized in other operating income) for certain eligible expenses incurred for the COVID-19 vaccine development; refer to Note 3.6 for more information on amounts recognized from this grant in the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Personnel expenses mainly include salary and salary-related expenses, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 of EUR 23,846k (September 30, 2021: EUR 24,637k) and share-based payment expense of EUR 480k (September 30, 2021: 572k).

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, third-party services expenses decreased, compared to the same period of 2021, mainly due to less consulting services. The Other mainly results from insurance costs related to the D&O insurance EUR 4,150k, (September 30, 2021: EUR 4,073k).

In March 2022, CureVac AG and GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals SA amended and restated the 2020 GSK agreement and the GSK COVID Agreement in connection with GSK entering into a direct agreement with Novartis for use of Novartis as a CMO at the same time as CureVac exited its CMO agreement with Novartis. Additionally, under the restated agreement, CureVac is entitled to further compensation by GSK. The compensations mainly consist of a consideration for set-up activities undertaken by CureVac (EUR 20,500k) and for reimbursement of prepayments (EUR 12,000k), which were recognized in other operating income in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. As an additional result of this agreement, certain reserved capacity at Novartis was also taken over from the Group by GSK, which resulted in the reversal of provisions of EUR 25,059k which had been recognized as of December 31, 2021, and the recognition of a corresponding gain in research and development expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 (see Note 3.4).
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, income from grants with government agencies and similar bodies resulted from the following:
German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF)
In 2020, the Company received a grant from BMBF to support the development of its COVID-19 vaccine candidate for which it was determined that the arrangement contained two components: a grant component (in the scope of IAS 20) and a supply component (in the scope of IFRS 15). The grant was terminated in 2021. With regard to the grant component, during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Group has recognized grant income in the amount of EUR 64,031k (September 30, 2022: EUR 0).
Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI)
In January 2020, CureVac and CEPI entered into a collaboration to develop a vaccine against the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. The aim of the cooperation is to safely advance vaccine candidates into clinical testing as quickly as possible. The agreement builds upon the existing partnership between CureVac and CEPI to develop a rapid-response vaccine platform and included additional initial funding of up to USD 8,300k. In May 2020, CEPI increased its grant award to the Group for SARS-CoV-2 vaccine development to up to USD 15,300k.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, CureVac recognized the reimbursement by CEPI of approved expenses of EUR 26k (September 30, 2021: EUR 30k) as other operating income . As of September 30, 2022, EUR 1,263k in grant funds received have been deferred and are presented within other liabilities (December 31, 2021: EUR 1,288k).
Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF)
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, CureVac recognized EUR 132k (September 30, 2021: EUR 246k) from the amortization of the grants on a straight-line basis into other operating income. As of September 30, 2022, EUR 1,747k in grant funds received have been deferred and presented within other liabilities (December 31, 2021: EUR 1,879k).

As of September 30, 2022, no preferred shares had been issued and all issued common shares issued and outstanding were fully paid.
All payments received from shareholders in excess of the nominal value of the shares issued and net of transaction costs are recognized in capital reserves.
