BioNTech公布2025年第三季度财报

MAINZ, Germany, November 3, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BioNTech SE (Nasdaq: BNTX, “BioNTech” or “the Company”) today reported financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and provided an update on its corporate progress.

“In the third quarter, we made substantial progress in executing against our oncology strategy. We advanced our priority pan-tumor programs, mRNA cancer immunotherapies and pumitamig. Simultaneously, we further broadened these programs to include evaluation of novel combinations with the aim to deliver differentiated or best-in-class therapeutic profiles,” said Prof. Ugur Sahin, M.D., Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of BioNTech. “Our collaboration with Bristol Myers Squibb on pumitamig is already demonstrating the strength of this partnership, with multiple additional pivotal trials in preparation with pumitamig planned to start this and next year. This illustrates our commitment to delivering truly transformative options for patients in need.”

Financial Review for Third Quarter and Year-to-Date 2025

Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2025, were €1,518.9 million, compared to €1,244.8 million for the comparative prior year period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, revenues were €1,962.5 million, compared to €1,561.1 million for the comparative prior year period. The increases in both quarterly and year-to-date revenues compared to the prior year were primarily driven by revenues related to BioNTech’s collaboration with BMS that were recognized in the third quarter of 2025. This increase was partially offset by lower sales volumes of BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccines.

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses were €564.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to €550.3 million for the comparative prior year period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, R&D expenses were €1,599.5 million, compared to €1,642.4 million for the comparative prior year period. Year-to-date R&D expenses were mainly driven by the start of late-stage trials for immuno-oncology (“IO”) and antibody-drug conjugate (“ADC”) development programs and partly offset by cost savings resulting from active portfolio management.

Sales, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses, in total, amounted to €148.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to €150.5 million for the comparative prior year period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, SG&A expenses were €406.5 million, compared to €466.9 million for the comparative prior year period. The year-to-date and quarter-to-quarter decreases were mainly driven by lower external costs, partially compensated by an ongoing commercial build-up.

Other operating result amounted to negative €704.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to negative €354.6 million for the comparative prior year period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, other operating result amounted to negative €730.1 million compared to negative €616.9 million for the prior year period. The increase in other operating expenses compared to the third quarter of 2024 was primarily influenced by the settlement of a contractual dispute.

Net loss was €28.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to a net income of €198.1 million for the comparative prior year period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, net loss was €831.1 million, compared to a net loss of €924.8 million for the comparative prior year period.

Basic and diluted loss per share was €0.12 for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to a basic earnings per share of €0.82 and diluted earnings per share of €0.81 for the comparative prior year period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, basic and diluted loss per share was €3.45, compared to a basic and diluted loss per share of €3.83 for the comparative prior year period.

Cash and cash equivalents plus security investments as of September 30, 2025, reached €16,704.9 million, comprising €10,092.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, €4,275.6 million in current security investments and €2,336.4 million in non-current security investments.

Shares outstanding as of September 30, 2025, were 240,455,450, excluding 8,096,750 shares held in treasury.

“The receipt of $1.5 billion from our partnership with Bristol Myers Squibb further underscores the strategic value of our collaborations not only in the long but also in the short term,” said Ramón Zapata, Chief Financial Officer at BioNTech. “We are increasing our 2025 full year revenue guidance to €2.6-2.8 billion. At the same time, we continue to optimize our cost base to support a sustainable development trajectory and ensure operational efficiency.”

BioNTech has increased its previous revenue guidance and now expects its revenues for the full 2025 financial year to be in the range of €2,600 - €2,800 million. With regards to COVID-19 vaccine franchise, the guidance reflects the following assumptions: relatively stable COVID-19 vaccine pricing and market share as compared to 2024; inventory write-downs and other charges estimated to be approximately 15% of BioNTech’s share of gross profit from COVID-19 vaccine sales in Pfizer Inc.’s (“Pfizer”) territory; and anticipated revenues from a pandemic preparedness contract with the German government. Current and potential further developments in law, global public policy, international trade, and public sentiment as they continue to evolve could further impact the anticipated COVID-19 vaccine revenues and expenses. The revenue guidance also includes anticipated revenues from collaborations, and from the BioNTech Group service businesses.

Planned 2025 Financial Year Expenses and Capex:

BioNTech has lowered expense guidance ranges for R&D, SG&A and capital expenditures for operating activities for the 2025 financial year.

The Company expects to continuously 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 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.
