List Of Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Significant Accounting Policies | 2 Significant Accounting Policies 2.1 Basis of Preparation General The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Financial Reporting Board (IASB). We prepare and publish our consolidated financial statements in Euros and round numbers to thousands or millions of Euros, respectively. 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. Rounding applied may differ from rounding published in different units in the previous years. Segment Information Decisions with respect to business operations and resource allocations are made by our Management Board, as the chief operating decision maker (CODM) based on BioNTech as a whole. Accordingly, we operate and make decisions as a single operating segment, which is also our reporting segment. 2.2 Basis of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of BioNTech SE and its controlled investees (subsidiaries). The Group controls an investee if, and only if, the Group has • power over the investee ( i.e. • exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and • the ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns. Generally, there is a presumption that a majority of voting rights results in control. Whether an investee is controlled is re-assessed The profit / (loss) and each component of other comprehensive income / (loss) for the period are attributed to the equity holders of the parent of the Group and to the non-controlling non-controlling A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. If control over a subsidiary is lost, the related assets (including goodwill), liabilities, non-controlling 2.3 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 2.3.1 Business Combinations and Goodwill Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, which is measured at acquisition date fair value, and the amount of any non-controlling Goodwill is initially measured at cost as the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognized for non-controlling Costs related to executing business combinations are recognized when they are incurred and are classified as general and administrative expenses. After initial recognition, goodwill is tested at least annually or when there is an indication for impairment. See Note 2.3.14. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units. Where goodwill has been allocated to a cash-generating unit (CGU) and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the disposed operation is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal. Goodwill disposed in these circumstances is measured based on the relative values of the disposed operation and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained. 2.3.2 Current versus Non-Current Assets and liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial position are presented based on current or non-current An asset is current when it is either: (i) expected to be realized or intended to be sold or consumed in the normal operating cycle, (ii) held primarily for the purpose of trading, (iii) expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period or (iv) cash or cash equivalents, unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current. A liability is current when it is either: (i) expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle, (ii) held primarily for the purpose of trading, (iii) due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or (iv) there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. The terms of the liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification. The Group classifies all other liabilities as non-current. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current 2.3.3 Fair Value Measurement Fair value is a market-based measurement. For some assets and liabilities, observable market transactions or market information is available. For other assets and liabilities, observable market transactions or market information might not be available. When a price for an identical asset or liability is not observable, another valuation technique is used. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, there are three levels of the fair value hierarchy: • Level 1 contains the use of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly. • Level 3 inputs are unobservable. Within this hierarchy, estimated values are made by management based on reasonable assumptions, including other fair value methods. For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements at fair value on a recurring basis, we determine whether transfers have occurred between levels in the fair value hierarchy by re-assessing For the purpose of fair value disclosures, classes of assets and liabilities have been determined on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy, as explained above. 2.3.4 Revenue from Contracts with Customers Revenue Identification of the Contract We generate revenues from collaboration and license agreements, which contain multiple elements, including licenses to use, research, develop, manufacture and commercialize candidates and products, research and development services as well as obligations to develop and manufacture preclinical and clinical material and products. We determined that those collaboration and license agreements qualify as contracts with customers. A contract is an agreement between two or more parties that establishes enforceable rights and obligations. Identification of Performance Obligations Our customer contracts often include bundles of licenses, goods and services. If the granting of a license is bundled together with delivering of goods and or the rendering of services, it is assessed whether these agreements are comprised of more than one performance obligation. A performance obligation is only accounted for as the grant of a license if the grant of a license is the sole or the predominant promise of the performance obligation. Determining Transaction Prices We apply judgement when determining the consideration that is expected to be received. If the consideration in an agreement includes a variable amount, we estimate the amount of consideration to which we will be entitled in exchange for transferring the goods to the customer. At contract inception, the variable consideration is estimated based on the most likely amount of consideration expected from the transaction and constrained until it is highly probable that a significant revenues reversal in the amount of cumulative revenues recognized will not occur when the associated uncertainty with respect to the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The estimated revenues are updated at each reporting date to reflect the current facts and circumstances. Allocation of Transaction Prices If a contract with a customer contains more than one performance obligation, the transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on relative standalone selling prices. We have established the following hierarchy to determine the standalone selling prices. • Where standalone selling prices for offered licenses, goods or services are observable and reasonably consistent across customers, our standalone selling price estimates are derived from our respective pricing history. However due to the limited number of customers and the limited company history this approach can rarely be used. • Where sales prices for an offering are not directly observable or highly variable across customers, we follow a cost-plus-margin approach. • For offerings that have highly variable pricing and lack substantial direct costs to estimate based on a cost-plus-margin approach, we allocate the transaction price by applying a residual approach. Judgment is required when estimating standalone selling prices. Recognition of Revenues For each separate performance obligation, it is evaluated whether control is transferred either at a point in time or over time. For performance obligations that are satisfied over time, revenues are recognized based on a measure of progress, which depicts the performance in transferring control to the customer. Under the terms of our licensing arrangements, we provide the licensee with a research and development license, which represents a right to access our intellectual property as it exists throughout the license period (as our intellectual property is still subject to further research). Therefore, the promise to grant a license is accounted for as a performance obligation satisfied over time as our customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits from our performance. Earnings based on the collaboration partners’ gross profit, which is shared under the respective collaboration agreements, are recognized based on the sales-based or usage-based royalty exemption; i.e. when, or as, the underlying sales occur, which is when the performance obligation has been satisfied. As described further in Note 3 certain judgment is applied when accounting for the collaboration agreements. Revenue arrangements that involve two or more partners who contribute to the provision of a specific good or service to a customer are assessed in terms of principal-agent considerations in order to determine the appropriate treatment for the transactions between us and the collaborator and the transactions between us and other third parties. The classification of transactions under such arrangements is determined based on the nature and contractual terms of the arrangement along with the nature of the operations of the participants. Any consideration related to activities in which we are considered the principal, which includes being in control of the good or service before such good or service is transferred to the customer, are accounted for as gross revenues. Any consideration related to activities in which we are considered the agent, are accounted for as net revenues. Revenues from the sale of pharmaceutical and medical products ( e.g COVID-19 For certain contracts, the finished product may temporarily be stored at our location under a bill-and-hold bill-and-hold Contract Balances Contract Assets A contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to the customer. If we transfer goods or services to a customer before the customer pays the respective consideration or before payment is due, a contract asset is recognized for the earned consideration that is conditional. Trade Receivables A receivable represents our right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional ( i.e Contract Liabilities A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which we have received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before we transfer goods or services to the customer, a contract liability is recognized when the payment is made or when the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue when we fulfill our performance obligations under the contract. Refund Liabilities A refund liability is a consideration which has been received but which will need to be refunded to the customer in the future as it represents an amount to which we are ultimately not entitled under the contract. A refund liability is measured at the amount of consideration received (or receivable) to which we do not expect to be entitled (i.e., amounts not included in the transaction price). We update our estimates of refund liabilities (and the corresponding change in the transaction price) at the end of each reporting period. 2.3.5 Government Grants Government grants are recognized where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attached conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognized as other income on a systematic basis over the periods that the related costs, for which the grant is intended to compensate, are expensed. When the grant relates to an asset, it is recognized as deferred income within the consolidated statements of financial position. Other income is subsequently recognized in our consolidated statements of profit or loss over the useful life of the underlying asset subject to funding. 2.3.6 Taxes Current Income Tax Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date in the countries where the Group operates and generates taxable income. In addition, current income taxes presented for the period include adjustments for uncertain tax payments or tax refunds for periods not yet finally assessed by tax authorities, excluding interest expenses and penalties on the underpayment of taxes. In the event that amounts included in the tax return are considered unlikely to be accepted by the tax authorities (uncertain tax positions), a provision for income taxes is recognized. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate. Deferred Tax Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except: • when the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or • in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint arrangements, when the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized, except: • when the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or • in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint arrangements, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year in which the asset is realized, or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are re-assessed Recognition of Taxes Current and deferred tax items are recognized similarly to the underlying transaction either in profit or loss, other comprehensive income or directly in equity. Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset if, and only if, we have a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and intend either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are only offset when we have a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets and current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either (i) the same taxable entity or (ii) different taxable entities, which intend either to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered. Sales Tax Expenses and assets are recognized net of sales tax, except when the sales tax incurred on a purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the taxation authority. The net amount of sales tax recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the consolidated statements of financial position. Future tax legislation Based on the Organisation for Economic Co-operation (so-called so-called The date of application of the national domestic law in Germany is scheduled for the fiscal year 2024. Subsequent, when the OECD Model Rules has entered into force in Germany, the Group will be obliged to file top-up so-called top-up so-called top-up 2.3.7 Foreign Currencies Our consolidated financial statements are presented in Euros, which is also our functional currency. For each entity, the Group determines the functional currency, and items included in the consolidated financial statements of such entities are measured using that functional currency. We use the direct method of consolidation and, on disposal of a foreign operation, the gain or loss that is reclassified to the consolidated statements of profit or loss reflects the amount that arises from using this method. Transactions and Balances Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Group’s entities at their respective functional currency spot rates at the date the transaction first qualifies for recognition. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency spot rates of exchange at the reporting date. Non-monetary In determining the spot exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income (or part of it) on the derecognition of a non-monetary non-monetary non-monetary non-monetary Foreign Currency Translation Foreign currency translation effects from the translation of operating activities include foreign exchange differences arising on operating items such as trade receivables and trade payables and are either shown as other operating income or expenses on a cumulative basis. Foreign currency translation effects presented within finance income and expenses include foreign exchange differences arising on financing items such as loans and borrowings as well as foreign exchange differences arising on cash and cash equivalents and are either shown as finance income or expenses on a cumulative basis. Foreign Currency Translation on Consolidation Upon consolidation, the assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Euros at the rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date and the transactions recorded in their consolidated statements of profit or loss are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. The exchange differences arising on translation for consolidation are recognized in other comprehensive income. On disposal of a foreign operation, the component of other comprehensive income relating to that particular foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss. Any goodwill arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation and any fair value adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities arising upon the acquisition are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the spot rate of exchange at the reporting date. 2.3.8 Cash Dividend We recognize a liability to pay a dividend when the distribution is authorized. As per the corporate laws of Germany, a distribution is authorized when it is approved by the general shareholder meeting. A corresponding amount is recognized directly in equity. 2.3.9 Property, Plant and Equipment Construction in progress is stated at cost. Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of the property, plant and equipment if the recognition criteria are met. All other repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows: Property, plant and equipment Useful life Buildings 10-33 Equipment, tools and installations 5 18 Operating and business equipment h An item of property, plant and equipment initially recognized is derecognized upon disposal ( i.e The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial year-end 2.3.10 Leases At the inception of a contract, we assess whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, we assess whether: • the contract involves the use of an identified asset—this may be specified explicitly or implicitly and should be physically distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a substantive substitution right, then the asset is not identified; • we have the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset throughout the period of use; and • we have the right to direct the use of the asset. We possess this right when we hold the decision-making rights that are most relevant to changing how and for what purpose the asset is used. In rare cases where the decision about how and for what purpose the asset is used is predetermined, the Group has the right to direct the use of the asset if either: • we have the right to operate the asset; or • we designed the asset in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose it will be used. At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the consideration in the contract is allocated to each lease component on the basis of their relative standalone prices. However, for leases of land and buildings in which it is a lessee, we have elected not to separate non-lease non-lease We recognize a right-of-use The right-of-use The right-of-use right-of-use right-of-use right-of-use The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the incremental borrowing interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the incremental borrowing rate is used as the discount rate. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following: • fixed payments, including in-substance • variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as of the commencement date; • amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and • the exercise price under a purchase option that is reasonably certain to be exercised, lease payments in an optional renewal period if it is reasonably certain that the extension option is exercised, and penalties for early termination of a lease unless it is reasonably certain that the contract is not terminate early. The lease liability is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if we change our assessment of whether we will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option. When the lease liability is remeasured, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use right-of-use Right-of-use Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets or shorter lease term, as follows: Right-of-use Useful life or shorter lease term (years) Buildings 2-25 Equipment, tools and installations 2-5 Production facilities 2-3 Automobiles 3-4 Short-Term Leases and Leases of Low-Value We have elected not to recognize right-of-use low-value 2.3.11 Intangible Assets Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is their fair value at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized generally on a straight-line basis over the useful life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at the end of each reporting period at the least. The amortization expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognized in the consolidated statements of profit or loss in the expense category that is consistent with the function of the intangible assets. A summary of the useful lives applied to the Group’s intangible assets is as follows: Intangible assets Useful life (years) Intellectual property rights 8-20 Licenses 3-20 Software 3-8 Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment at least annually, or when there is an indication for impairment, either individually or at the level of a cash-generating unit (see Note 2.3.14 for further details). The assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life continues to be supportable. If not, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis. We have classified advanced payments on intangible assets as intangible assets, which are not yet ready for use. Advanced payments on intangible assets are tested for impairment on an annual basis. An intangible asset is derecognized upon disposal ( i.e Research and Development Costs Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development expenditures on an individual project are recognized as an intangible asset if, and only if, all of the following six criteria can be demonstrated: • the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that the asset will be available for use or sale; • the intention to complete the project; • the ability and intention to use or sell the asset; • how the asset will generate future economic benefits; • the availability of resources to complete the asset; and • the ability to reliably measure the expenditure during development. Due to the inherent risk of failure in pharmaceutical development and the uncertainty of approval, management has determined that these criteria are not met in the biotech sector until regulatory approval has been obtained. The related expenditure is reflected in the consolidated statements of profit or loss in the period in which the expenditure is incurred. Following initial recognition of the development expenditure as an asset, the asset is carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortization of the asset begins when development is complete and the asset is available for use. It is amortized over the period of expected future benefit. Amortization is recorded in cost of sales. During the period of development, the asset is tested for impairment annually. 2.3.12 Financial Instruments A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. i) Financial Assets Initial Recognition and Measurement Financial assets mainly include trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, cash deposits with an original term of six months recognized as other financial assets as well as equity investments. Financial assets are initially measured at fair value and – depending on their classification – subsequently measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI) or fair value through profit or loss. Subsequent Measurement The measurement of financial assets depends on their classification, as described below. Financial Assets measured at Amortized Cost Financial assets at amortized cost include trade receivables. With respect to trade receivables, we applied the practical expedient which means that they are measured at the transaction price determined under IFRS 15. Refer to the accounting policies in Note 2.3.4. Other financial assets are measured at amortized costs since they are held to collect contractual cash flows, which are solely payments of principal and interest. Gains and losses are recognized in our consolidated statements of profit or loss when the financial asset is derecognized, modified or impaired. Financial Assets designated at Fair Value through OCI (Equity Instruments) Upon initial recognition, we can irrevocably elect to classify equity investments as equity instruments designated at fair value through OCI when they meet the definition of equity under IAS 32 and are not held for trading. The classification is determined on an instrument-by-instrument non-listed Financial Assets at Fair Value through Profit or Loss D erivatives not designated as hedging instruments are measured at fair value through profit or loss. A financial asset exists if the derivative has a positive fair valu e. Derecognition A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognized (i.e., removed from the consolidated statements of financial position) when the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired or have been transferred in terms of fulfilling the derecognition criteria. Impairment of Financial Assets An allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) is considered for all non-derivative For trade receivables and contract assets, the Group applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognizes a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. We have established an ECL-model ii) Financial Liabilities Financial liabilities are generally measured at amortized cost using the effective-interest method. Derivatives with negative fair values not designated as hedging instruments and liabilities for contingent consideration in business combinations are measured at fair value. All financial liabilities are recognized initially at |

Accounting Policies, Changes In Accounting Estimates And Errors [Abstract] | |
Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions | 3 Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, the accompanying disclosures and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods. Significant accounting judgement as well as key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are described below. We based our assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the 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 the control of the Group. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur. Revenues from Contracts with Customers We applied the following judgments, estimates and assumptions that significantly affect the determination of the amount and timing of revenues from contracts with customers: Identification and Determination of Performance Obligations We generate revenues from collaboration and license agreements, which contain multiple elements, including licenses to use, research, develop, manufacture and commercialize candidates and products, research and development services as well as obligations to develop and manufacture preclinical and clinical material and products. We determined that those collaboration and license agreements qualify as contracts with customers. A contract is an agreement between two or more parties that establishes enforceable rights and obligations. At inception of each agreement, we apply judgment when determining which promises represent distinct performance obligations. If promises are not distinct, they are combined until the bundle of promised goods and services is distinct. For some agreements, this results in accounting for goods and services promised in a collaboration and license agreement as a single performance obligation with a single measure of progress. For these combined performance obligations, we assess which of these promises is the predominant promise to determine the nature of the performance obligation. When licenses are granted, we determined that the grant of the license is the predominant promise within the combined performance obligations. It is assessed that we grant our customers a right to access or a right to use our intellectual property due to the collaboration and license agreements. Measurement of the Transaction Price Our collaboration and license agreements often include variable considerations, which are contingent on the occurrence or non-occurrence (i.e. As there are usually only two possible outcomes (i.e., milestone is reached or not), we have assessed that the method of the most likely amount is the best method to predict the amount of consideration to which we will be entitled. At contract inception, the most likely amount for milestone payments is estimated to be zero. We have assessed that the likelihood of achieving the respective milestone decreases depending on how far the expected date of achieving the milestone lies in the future. At each reporting date, we use judgment to determine when to include variable consideration in the transaction price, such that it is highly probable that a significant revenue reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the associated uncertainty with respect to the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. We have concluded that future milestone payments are fully constrained at the end of the current fiscal year. Future milestone payments would become unconstrained at the satisfaction of the milestone event, specifically a development event, a regulatory approval or achievement of a sales milestone. Allocation of the Transaction Price to Performance Obligations and Revenue Recognition as Performance Obligations are Satisfied We allocate the transaction price to performance obligations based on their relative standalone selling prices, which are generally based on our best estimates and interpretations of facts and circumstances of each contractual agreement and may require significant judgment to determine appropriate allocation. Upfront payments and reimbursement for expenses are initially deferred on our consolidated statements of financial position. We assessed that no significant financing component exists within our collaboration agreements since the overall business purpose of advanced payments is to support the payment structure other than to provide a significant benefit of financing. For performance obligations in which the costs vary based on progress, an input-based measure considering cost incurred depicts most reliably the progress of the related research activities. In other cases, revenue recognition on a straight-line basis may most reliably depict our performance toward complete satisfaction. If the contractual activities progress, the achievement of development milestones will be used to measure the progress toward complete satisfaction. We evaluate the measure of progress each reporting period and, if necessary, adjust the measure of performance and related revenue recognition. Any such adjustments are recorded on a cumulative catch-up Upon successfully commercializing a pharmaceutical product, the collaboration and license agreements also provide for additional profit-sharing or tiered royalties earned when customers recognize net sales of licensed products as well as sales milestone payments. Revenue is recognized based on the sales-based or usage-based royalty exemption; i.e. Principal-Agent Considerations Collaboration agreements that involve two or more partners who contribute to the provision of a specific good or service to a customer are assessed in terms of principal-agent considerations. Under our current collaboration agreements, the allocation of marketing and distribution rights defines territories in which the collaboration partner acts as a principal respectively. We recognize revenue net based on the collaboration partners’ gross profit in territories where the partner is responsible for supply and on a gross basis when directly supplying our customers in our territories when control has been transferred. Amounts paid to collaboration partners for their share of our profits earned where we are the principal in the transaction are recorded as cost of sales. Pfizer Agreement Characteristics With respect to our collaboration with Pfizer, commercial revenues are recognized based on our collaboration partners’ gross profit from COVID-19 Pfizer’s gross profit shares are calculated based on sales and include consideration of transfer prices. The latter includes manufacturing and shipping costs, which represent standard prices and include mark-ups Manufacturing cost variances include expenses from unused contract manufacturing capacities and overstock inventories finally scrapped. As only materialized costs – which means manufacturing capacities finally lapsed or inventories finally scrapped – are cash-effectively shared with the partner, the gross profit share impact is anticipated once assessed as highly probable to occur. Any changes to this assessment will be recognized prospectively. Pfizer’s determination of manufacturing and shipping costs also affects the transfer prices that have been charged to COVID-19 For the carrying amounts of the revenue recognition-related contract balances, see Note 6. Judgment is required in determining whether a right to consideration is unconditional and thus qualifies as a receivable. Provisions and Contingencies We are currently confronted with claims and legal proceedings. Those include claims from third parties demanding indemnification for purported infringement of third party’s patent or other intellectual proprietary rights as well as product liability claims. For these matters we assess whether provisions must be recorded and whether contingencies must be reported. Due to uncertainties relating to these matters, provisions and contingencies are based on the best information available. Significant judgment is required in the determination of whether and when a provision is to be recorded and what the appropriate amount for such provision should be. Notably, judgment is required in the following areas: • Determining whether an obligation exists • Determining the probability of outflow of economic benefits • Determining whether the amount of an obligation is reliably estimable • Estimating the amount of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation At the end of each reporting period, we reassess the potential obligations related to our pending claims and litigation and adjust our respective provisions and contingencies The expected timing or amounts of any outflows of economic benefits resulting from these lawsuits and claims are uncertain and difficult to estimate or even not estimable, as they generally depend on the duration of the legal proceedings and settlement negotiations required to resolve the litigation and claims and the unpredictability of the outcomes of legal disputes in several jurisdictions. Disclosures in respect of third-party claims and litigation for which no provisions have been recognized are made in the form of contingent liabilities, unless a potential outflow of resources is considered remote. It is not practicable to estimate the financial impact of contingent liabilities due to the uncertainties around lawsuits and claims as outlined above. For further disclosures and carrying amounts relating to provisions and contingencies, see Note 17 Research and Development Expenses The nature of our business and primary focus of our activities, including development of our platforms and manufacturing technologies, generate a significant amount of research and development expenses. Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development expenditures on an individual project are recognized as an intangible asset if, and only if, the capitalization criteria are met. We have entered into agreements under which third parties grant licenses to us. If those licenses grant access to technologies, both parties jointly perform research or development activities and both are exposed to significant risks and rewards of the activities, costs incurred with the agreements are not treated differently from costs related to own product candidates. If the agreements grant us rights to use certain patents and technologies that meet the definition of an identifiable asset, they are treated as acquired intangible assets. Based on our assessment we have concluded that, due to the inherent risk of failure in pharmaceutical development and the uncertainty of approval, these criteria are regularly not met before regulatory approval is achieved. The related expenditure is reflected in the consolidated statements of profit or loss in the period in which the expenditure is incurred. Sales-based milestone or royalty payments incurred under license agreements relating to self-developed intangibles after the approval date of the respective pharmaceutical product are recognized as expenses as incurred. Prior to initial regulatory approval, costs relating to production of pre-launch Share-Based Payments Determining the fair value of share-based payment transactions requires the most appropriate valuation for the specific program, which depends on the underlying terms and conditions. We used valuation models like a binomial or Monte-Carlo simulation model for the measurement of the cash- and equity-settled transactions’ fair value considering certain assumption relating to, e.g. A retention assumption is applied when estimating the number of equity instruments for which service conditions are expected to be satisfied and will be revised in case material differences arise. Ultimately, a true-up For further disclosures relating to share-based payments, see Note 16. Embedded Derivatives Defining the fair value of the embedded derivative which was bifurcated from the convertible note, as host contract, requires significant judgment. We used the Cox-Rubinstein B-rated For further disclosures relating to financial instruments, see Note 12. Income Taxes We are subject to income taxes in more than one tax jurisdiction. Due to the increasing complexity of tax laws and the corresponding uncertainty regarding the legal interpretation by the fiscal authorities, tax calculations are generally subject to an elevated amount of uncertainty. To the extent necessary, possible tax risks are taken into account in the form of provisions. We do not recognize or impair deferred tax assets when it is unlikely that a corresponding amount of future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, tax loss carry forwards and tax credits can be utilized. When determining whether sufficient future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, tax loss carry forwards and tax credits can be utilized, significant management judgment is required. This includes management’s assessment on the character and amounts of taxable future profits, the periods in which those profits are expected to occur, and the availability of tax planning opportunities. As a matter of policy, convincing evidence supporting the recognition of deferred tax assets is required if an entity has suffered a loss in either the current or the preceding periods. Our management continued to determine that deferred tax assets on tax losses carried forward that relate to subsidiaries which have a loss making history cannot be recognized. This includes the assessment that those subsidiaries neither have any taxable temporary difference nor any tax planning opportunities available that could support the recognition of deferred tax assets. For further disclosures relating to deferred taxes, see Note 8. |

Business Combinations | 5 Business Combinations Business Combinations during the year ended December 31, 2021 BioNTech R&D (Austria) GmbH, or BioNTech Austria (previously PhagoMed Biopharma GmbH) On October 1, 2021, BioNTech Austria, an Austrian biotechnology company, specialized in the development of a new class of antibacterials, was fully acquired to expand our infectious disease portfolio capabilities. The total consideration comprised an upfront consideration of €50.0 million (less acquired debt) of which €23.2 million are considered remuneration and will be recognized as personnel expense over a three-year period in which services are to be provided. An additional consideration of maximum €100.0 million is dependent the achievement of certain clinical development milestones. At the acquisition date, the contingent consideration was recognized with its fair value of €5.5 million and is presented as non-current The final fair values and values in accordance with IFRS 3 of the identifiable net assets of BioNTech Austria as of the date of acquisition were as follows: Fair value recognized on acquisition (in millions) Assets Intangible assets € 43.3 Other non-financial non-current 1.5 Total assets € 44.8 Liabilities Other non-financial non-current 15.4 Total liabilities € 15.4 Total identifiable net assets at fair value € 29.4 Bargain purchase (2.2 ) Consideration transferred € 27.2 Consideration Cash paid 21.7 Contingent consideration liability 5.5 Total consideration € 27.2 (in millions) BioNTech R&D Transaction costs of the acquisition (included in cash flows from operating activities) € (0.5 ) Net cash acquired (included in cash flows used in investing) 0.9 Cash paid (included in cash flow used in investing activities) (21.7 ) Net cash flow on acquisition € (21.3 ) The intangible assets comprise a pre-clinical PM-477 A bargain purchase of €2.2 million was recognized in other operating income. The consolidated statements of profit or loss include the results of BioNTech Austria since the acquisition date. From the date of acquisition through December 31, 2021, BioNTech Austria did not have any significant impact on the operating income or the revenues of the Group. The same applies if the transaction had occurred at the beginning of the reporting period. |

Income Tax | 8 Income Tax Income tax for the years ended December 31, 2022, December 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, comprised current income taxes, other taxes and deferred taxes. We are subject to corporate taxes, the solidarity surcharge and trade taxes. Our corporate tax rate in the reporting year remained unchanged (15.0%) as did the solidarity surcharge (5.5%) whereas the average trade tax rate changed resulting in a combined income tax rate of 27.25% in the year ended December 31, 2022 (during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020: 30.72% and 30.79%, respectively). Deferred taxes are calculated at a rate of 27.2%. Deferred taxes for Austria are calculated at a corporate tax rate of 25.0%. Austria’s decrease of its corporate tax rate down to 23.0% in 2024 will be recognized from 2023 onwards. BioNTech USA Holding, LLC is subject to Federal Corporate Income Tax (21.0%) as well as State Income Tax in various state jurisdictions (effective rate of 4.7%). The deferred tax rates calculations basis remained unchanged compared to the previous period. The following table illustrates the current and deferred taxes for the periods indicated: Years ended December 31, (in millions) 2022 2021 2020 Current income taxes € 3,629.6 € 4,535.0 € — Deferred taxes (109.9 ) 218.9 (161.0 ) Income taxes € 3,519.7 € 4,753.9 € (161.0 ) The following table reconciles the expected income taxes to the actual current income taxes and deferred taxes as presented in the table above. The expected income taxes were calculated using the combined income tax rate of BioNTech SE applicable to the Group and mentioned above which was applied to profit before taxes to calculate the expected income taxes. Years ended December 31, (in millions) 2022 2021 2020 (1) Profit / (Loss) before tax € 12,954.1 € 15,046.4 € (145.8 ) Expected tax credit / (benefit) € 3,529.7 € 4,622.5 € (44.9 ) Effects Deviation due to local tax basis 8.9 9.1 0.6 Deviation due to deviating income tax rate (Germany and foreign countries) 7.3 9.4 1.3 Change in valuation allowance 30.6 3.0 (26.2 ) Effects from tax losses 23.2 19.5 (90.4 ) Change in deferred taxes due to tax rate change (2.3 ) (7.5 ) — Non-deductible 2.5 90.5 0.8 Non tax-effective (87.9 ) (0.3 ) — Non tax-effective 8.7 15.5 9.8 Tax-effective — (1.2 ) (10.2 ) Adjustment prior year taxes (31.5 ) (2.9 ) 0.3 Non-tax — (0.7 ) (2.2 ) Other effects 30.5 (3.0 ) 0.1 Income taxes € 3,519.7 € 4,753.9 € (161.0 ) Effective tax rate 27.2 % 31.6 % n.m. (2) (1) Certain amounts have been combined in the prior period to conform with the current period presentation. (2) The information is not meaningful due to the loss before tax in the respective period. The non-tax million mainly contained the finance income effect of the final fair value measurement adjustments of the derivative embedded within the convertible note upon the early redemption of the convertible note as of March 1, 2022. On November 15, 2018, we established a share option program pursuant to which we were permitted to grant selected employees and our Management Board options to receive shares in the Company. The program is designed as an Employee Stock Ownership Plan, or ESOP. We offered the participants a certain number of rights, or option rights, subject to their explicit acceptance. Grants under the ESOP took place from November 2018 until December 2019. An exercise of option rights in accordance with the terms of the ESOP gives a participant the right to obtain shares against payment of the exercise price. By way of an updated decision of the Supervisory Board at the end of September 2022 compared to the initial settlement mechanism, an ESOP settlement may be made by delivery to the participant of such number of ADSs equal to the net value of the exercised option rights after deduction of (i) the exercise price and (ii) the applicable wage taxes (including solidarity surcharge thereon and church tax, if applicable) and social security contributions resulting from such exercise. The respective number of ADS shall be settled with ADS acquired in the course of the share repurchase program. The applicable wage taxes (including solidarity surcharge thereon and church tax, if applicable) and social security contributions resulting from such exercise are paid in cash directly to the respective authorities. Tax expenses on the settlement are only recognized once the option rights have been exercised. After considering the settlement in the three months ended December 31, 2022, a deferred tax asset remained in our consolidated statement of financial position of € The settlement mechanism of the LTI-plus , The current actual tax savings associated with the excess were directly recognized in equity in a total amount of million. Considering these tax amounts directly recognized in equity when calculating an effective tax rate, the tax rate would be decreased by about three percentage points.

The CGU immunotherapies focus on the development of therapies to address a range of rare and infectious diseases and include our broad pipeline that includes mRNA-based immune activators, antigen-targeting T cells and antibodies, and defined immunomodulators of various immune cell mechanisms. The recoverable amount of the CGU immunotherapies has been determined based on a fair value less cost of disposal (FVLCD) derived from our market capitalization as observable input parameter. As a result of the analysis, management did not identify an impairment for this CGU. We concluded that no reasonable possible change of the recoverable amount would cause the carrying amount of the CGU Immunotherapies to exceed its recoverable amount.

Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities | 12 Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities 12.1 Capital Risk Management Our capital management objectives are designed primarily to finance our growth strategy. Our treasury committee reviews the total amount of cash on a regular basis. As part of this review, the committee considers the total cash and cash equivalents, the cash outflow, currency translation differences and refinancing activities. We monitor cash using a burn rate. The cash burn rate is defined as the average monthly net cash flow from operating and investing activities during a financial year. (in millions) December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Cash at banks and on hand € 1,325.2 € 1,092.7 Cash equivalents 12,549.9 600.0 Bank deposits 9,401.0 600.0 Money market funds 3,148.9 — Total € 13,875.1 € 1,692.7 In general, the aim is to maximize the financial resources available for further research and development projects. Since December 1, 2021, we have an investment and asset management policy in place that contains policies and processes for managing cash, which requires that our investment portfolio shall be maintained in a manner that minimizes risk of the invested capital. These risks include mainly credit risk and concentration risk. The portfolio must provide liquidity in a timely manner to accommodate operational and capital needs. The portfolio is managed efficiently by the Treasury department. We are not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. Our capital management objectives were achieved in the reporting year. 12.2 Categories of Financial Instruments Financial Assets: Financial Assets at Amortized Cost and at Fair Value through OCI and Profit or Loss Set out below, is an overview of financial assets at amortized cost and at fair value through OCI and profit or loss, other than cash and cash equivalents, held by the Group as of the dates indicated: Financial assets (in millions) December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments Foreign exchange forward contracts € 183.7 € 5.7 Equity instruments designated at fair value through OCI Non-listed 57.1 19.5 Listed equity investments 20.0 — Financial assets at amortized cost Trade and other receivables 7,145.6 12,381.7 Cash deposit with an original term of six months — 375.2 Other financial assets 8.8 2.5 Total € 7,415.2 € 12,784.6 Total current 7,335.0 12,763.3 Total non-current 80.2 21.3 Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments relate to foreign exchange forward contracts that were entered into during the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, to manage some of our foreign currency exposures. The foreign exchange forward contracts are measured at fair value through profit or loss and are intended to reduce the exposure to foreign currency risk resulting from trade receivables denominated in U.S. dollar. Equity Instruments Designated at Fair Value through OCI In January 2022, we acquired 13.0% of the shares (fully diluted as of closing) of Crescendo Biologics Ltd., a private, clinical-stage immuno-oncology company developing novel, targeted T-cell In November 2022, we acquired 8.3% of the shares (fully diluted as of closing) leading to 7.1% of the voting rights, of Ryvu Therapeutics S.A., a listed clinical-stage drug discovery and development company focused on novel small-molecule therapies that address emerging targets in oncology headquartered in Krakow, Poland. The equity investment complements a multi-target research collaboration to develop multiple small molecule programs targeting immune modulation in cancer and potentially other disease areas. In accordance with IFRS 9, we elected to present changes in fair value of these equity investments in OCI to avoid fluctuation to be disclosed in our consolidated financial statements of profit or loss. In connection with the agreement announced in January 2023, under which we plan to acquire, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions and certain regulatory approvals, all remaining shares of InstaDeep Ltd., or InstaDeep, a leading global technology company in the field of artificial intelligence (“AI”) and machine learning. The fair value of our stake in InstaDeep which was initially acquired during the year ended December 31, 2021, was remeasured based on the preliminary estimate of the expected purchase price. Since the acquisition date, no material gains and losses on our equity investments in Crescendo Biologics Ltd. and Ryvu Therapeutics S.A. have occurred. Financial Assets at Amortized Cost Trade and other receivables remained outstanding as of December 31, 2022, mainly due to the contractual settlement of the gross profit share under our COVID-19 Financial Liabilities: Financial Liabilities at Amortized Cost and at Fair Value through Profit or Loss (including Loans and Borrowings and Other Financial Liabilities) Set out below, is an overview of financial liabilities, other financial liabilities and trade payables held by the Group as of the dates indicated: Lease liabilities, loans and borrowings (in millions) December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Lease liabilities € 210.1 € 181.6 Convertible note – host contract (1) — 99.7 Loans and borrowings 2.1 20.2 Total € 212.2 € 301.5 Total current 36.0 129.9 Total non-current 176.2 171.6 (1) The convertible note was fully redeemed by exercising our early redemption option as of March 1, 2022, the redemption date. Other financial liabilities (in millions) December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments Convertible note – embedded derivative (1) € — € 308.7 Foreign exchange forward contracts — 63.0 Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss Contingent consideration 6.1 6.1 Total financial liabilities at fair value € 6.1 € 377.8 Trade payables and other financial liabilities at amortized cost, other than loans and borrowings Trade payables 204.1 160.0 Other financial liabilities 785.1 818.7 Total trade payables and other financial liabilities at amortized cost, other than loans and borrowings € 989.2 € 978.7 Total other financial liabilities € 995.3 € 1,356.5 Total current 989.2 1,350.4 Total non-current 6.1 6.1 (1) The convertible note was fully redeemed by exercising our early redemption option as of March 1, 2022, the redemption date.

Ltd.), or Temasek, and another accredited investor participated in a private investment which we refer to as the June 2020 Private Placement. The private placement included an investment in a four-year mandatory convertible note and an investment in ordinary shares and closed as of August 28, 2020, following the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The private placement included an investment in ordinary shares (see Note 15) and a €100.0 million investment in a four-year Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instrument s Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments relate to foreign exchange forward contracts that were entered into during the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, to manage some of our foreign currency exposures. The foreign exchange forward contracts are measured at fair value through profit or loss and are intended to reduce the exposure to foreign currency risk resulting from trade receivables denominated in U.S. dollar. Other Financial Liabilities at Amortized Cost Other financial liabilities at amortized cost mainly include obligations derived from license agreements which are being incurred with respect to our COVID-19 12.3 Fair Values Fair values of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables and other current financial assets and liabilities approximated their carrying amounts as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The fair values of financial instruments measured at fair value were reassessed on a quarterly basis. The money market funds, or MMFs, which are recognized as cash and cash equivalents, are valued using quoted prices on the valuation date in active markets (Level 1). The change in the derivative’s fair value related to the equity investment of Pfizer (see Note 15) was derived from our share price development between contract signing and closing (Level 1). As described above, as of the redemption date, the fair value of the derivative embedded in our convertible note was finally assessed by applying the Cox-Ross-Rubinstein non-listed 12.4 Financial Instruments Risk Management Objectives and Policies Our financial liabilities comprise lease liabilities, loans and borrowings, trade and other payables as well as hedging liabilities. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to enable our operations. Our principal financial assets include mainly cash and trade receivables that derive directly from our operations. We are exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Our Management Board oversees the management of these risks. The treasury committee provides assurance to our Management Board that our financial risk activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with our policies and risk objectives. The Management Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarized below. 12.5 Market Risks Market risks address the risks that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market prices. Market risks comprise three types of risk: interest risks, foreign currency risks and other price risks. Financial instruments affected by market risks include financial assets like trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents as well as financial liabilities like trade payables and other financial liabilities. We do not consider interest risks as well as other price risks as material risks for us. The sensitivity analysis in the following sections is related to the position as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. There were no material changes in the way the risks were managed and valued during the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021. Because of the significantly higher cash balances the market risk exposure on counterparty risk has increased. Foreign Currency Risks Foreign currency risks address the risks that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. We are subject to currency risks, as our income and expenditures are denominated in Euro and the U.S. dollar. As such, we are exposed to exchange rate fluctuations between these currencies. Cash inflows denominated in U.S. dollar mainly result from generating proceeds under our collaboration agreements which significantly increased in the past year. Our commercial revenues are primarily collaboration revenues from earnings based on our partners’ gross profit, which is shared under the respective collaboration agreements and represents payments we receive in U.S. dollar. Cash outflows dominated in U.S. dollar mainly result from amounts spent on research and development activities as well as expanding our global footprint further. Especially when funds are required in Euros, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange risks. With the aim of preserving capital, surplus liquidity is invested carefully for example into foreign currency investments. Exchange rate fluctuations can reduce the value of our financial positions. We limit the effects of the identified risks by means of a coordinated and consistently implemented risk strategy. Besides applying natural hedging relationships where possible, a matter of principle, foreign exchange forward contracts are concluded as instruments to mitigate foreign currency exchange risk associated with foreign currency-denominated payments. However, the foreign exchange forward contracts which we entered were not designated as hedging instruments under IFRS. The carrying amount of the monetary assets and liabilities denominated in U.S. dollar at the dates indicated are as follows: (in millions) December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Cash and cash equivalents in U.S. dollar € 1,487.4 € 436.2 Monetary assets in U.S. dollar 7,098.5 11,895.5 Monetary liabilities and provisions in U.S. dollar 1,527.8 656.7 Total € 7,058.1 € 11,675.0 The following tables demonstrate the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in U.S. dollar exchange rates or U.S. dollar forward rates, with all other variables held constant. The impact on our profit before tax is due to changes in the fair value of monetary assets and liabilities. The exposure to foreign currency changes for all other currencies is not material. 1 € = Closing rate Average rate Currency Country 2022 2021 2022 2021 U.S. dollar United States 1.0666 1.1326 1.0530 1.1827 (in millions) Change in U.S. dollar rate Effect on profit / (loss) before tax Effect on pre- tax equity 2022 +5 % € (195.2 ) € (191.5 ) -5 % 215.7 211.7 2021 +5 % (329.5 ) (328.5 ) -5 % 364.3 363.0 12.6 Credit Risk Management Credit risks address the risks that a counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. We are exposed to credit risks from our operating activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions, foreign exchange transactions and trade and other receivables. Trade and Other Receivables Our exposure to credit risks of trade receivables is primarily related to transactions with corporate customers in the biopharma / biotech industry that operate in the United States or Germany as well as governments which are customers established in connection with fulfilling our commercial obligations in our territories as defined under our current COVID-19 As of December 31, 2022, the outstanding trade receivables were mainly due from our collaboration partner Pfizer. Besides well-established pharmaceutical companies and governmental institutions, to a smaller extent, our other customers are medical universities, other public institutions and peers in the biopharma industry, which all have very high credit ratings. Due to this customer portfolio, the credit risk on trade receivables is generally very low. We have not incurred bad debt expense and do not expect that this will change with respect to the trade receivables outstanding as of December 31, 2022. Generally, if overdue by more than 90 days and not subject to enforcement activity, trade receivables are considered for write-offs. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets disclosed in Note 12.2. The expected credit risk on trade receivables and other financial assets derived from applying the simplified approach in calculating expected credit losses was estimated to be not material as of December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021. We do not hold collateral as security. Cash and Cash Equivalents as well as Cash Deposits with an Original Term of Three Months and MMFs Credit risks from balances with banks and financial institutions are managed by our Treasury department in accordance with our investment and asset management policy. Credit risk stemming from cash and cash equivalents, cash deposits with an original term of three months as well as from MMFs is very low due to its demand feature and the high credit rating of the respective banks. The maximum exposure to credit risk for the components of the consolidated statements of financial position as of December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, are the carrying amounts as illustrated in Note 12.1 and Note 12.2. 12.7 Liquidity Risk We plan to invest heavily in R&D as we make a strong drive to build out our global development organization and diversify our therapeutic area footprint. Additionally, we plan to enhance capabilities through complementary acquisitions, technologies, infrastructure and manufacturing. Our liquidity management ensures the availability of cash and cash equivalents, short term financial instruments for operational activities and further investments through appropriate budget planning. In addition, a sufficient level of cash and cash equivalents, which is managed centrally, is always maintained to finance the operational activities. We monitor liquidity risks using a liquidity planning tool. Ultimately, the responsibility for liquidity risk management lies with our Management Board, which has established an appropriate approach to managing short-, medium- and long-term financing and liquidity requirements. We manage liquidity risks by holding appropriate reserves, as well as by monitoring forecasted and actual cash flows and reconciling the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. Risk Concentration Concentrations arise when the number of counterparties is small or when a larger number of counterparties is engaged in similar business activities, or activities in the same geographical region, or has economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be affected similarly by changes in economic, political or other conditions. Concentrations indicate the relative sensitivity of our performance to developments affecting a particular industry.

Issued Capital and Reserves | 15 Issued Capital and Reserves As of December 31, 2022 , , Second Tranche Share Repurchase Program In November 2022, our Management Board and Supervisory Board authorized the second tranche of our share repurchase program of ADSs, with a value of up to $0.5 billion, commencing on December 7, 2022. Capital Transactions During the Year Ended December 31, 2022 In January 2022, we announced a new research, development and commercialization collaboration with Pfizer to develop a potential first mRNA-based vaccine for the prevention of shingles (herpes zoster virus, or HZV). In connection with this collaboration, Pfizer agreed to make an equity investment in us, acquiring 497,727 ordinary shares paying a total amount of €110.6 million. The issuance of 497,727 ordinary shares with the nominal amount of €0.5 million was registered with the commercial register ( Handelsregister , In March 2022, we redeemed our convertible note by exercising our early redemption option (see Note 12) , Handelsregister In June 2022, at the Annual General Meeting, our shareholders approved the proposed special cash dividend of €2.00 per ordinary share (including those held in the form of ADSs), which led to an aggregate payment of €484.3 million. In March 2022, our Management Board and Supervisory Board authorized a share repurchase program of ADSs, pursuant to which we may repurchase ADSs in the amount of up to $1.5 billion over the next two years. On May 2, 2022, the first tranche of our share repurchase program of ADSs, with a value of up to $1.0 billion, commenced. In November 2022, our Management Board and Supervisory Board authorized the second tranche of our share repurchase program of ADSs, with a value of up to $0.5 billion, commencing on December 7, 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2022, ADSs were repurchased at an average price of $143.98, for total consideration of $1.0 billion (€986.4 million). Repurchased ADSs were used to satisfy settlement obligations under our share-based payment arrangements. In November and December 2022, the ESOP 2018 and LTI-plus ) Capital Transactions During the Year Ended December 31, 2021 In November 2020, we entered into a sales agreement, or the Sales Agreement, with Jefferies LLC and SVB Leerink LLC (now known as SVB Securities LLC), as sales agents, to establish an at-the-market at-the-market , |

Share-based Payment Arrangements [Abstract] | |
Share-Based Payments | 16 Share-Based Payments During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, our share-based payment arrangements led to the following expenses: Years ended December 31, (in millions) Note 2022 2021 2020 Expense arising from equity-settled share-based payment arrangements € 46.5 € 61.0 € 32.1 Employee Stock Ownership Plan 16.5 13.8 20.2 17.1 Chief Executive Officer Grant 16.4 3.1 5.9 11.3 Management Board Grant (1) 16.3 4.3 2.4 2.7 BioNTech 2020 Employee Equity Plan for Employees Based Outside North America 16.1 25.3 32.5 1.0 Expense arising from cash-settled share-based payment arrangements 61.5 32.7 0.7 Employee Stock Ownership Plan 16.5 53.4 6.3 — Management Board Grant (1) 16.2, — 3.6 0.7 BioNTech Restricted Stock Unit Plan for North America Employees 16.1 8.1 22.8 — Total € 108.0 € 93.7 € 32.8 Cost of sales 3.0 7.0 1.1 Research and development expenses 84.6 60.5 24.9 Sales and marketing expenses 0.8 0.5 0.1 General and administrative expenses 19.6 25.7 6.7 Total € 108.0 € 93.7 € 32.8 (1) In May 2021 and 2022, phantom options were granted under the Management Board Grant for the years 2021 and 2022 which led to a modification from equity-settled to cash-settled share-based payment arrangement and a reclassification of €1.1 million and €3.3 million between equity and non-current one-time During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, our share-based payment arrangements led to a cash outflow million and nil million, respectively. We expect to settle equity-settled share-based payment arrangements under the Chief Executive Officer Grant (see Note 16.4) and under the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (see Note 16.5) on a net basis by delivering to the participant a number of ADSs equal to the net value of the exercised option rights after deduction of (i) the exercise price and (ii) the applicable wage taxes (including solidarity surcharge thereon and church tax, if applicable) and social security contributions resulting from such exercise. This reduces the dilutive impact of the respective rights. If all of the rights outstanding as of December 31, 2022, will be exercised accordingly, the cash outflow to the tax authority in 2023 would amount to approximately €360.0 million (based on the share price as of December 31, 2022). 16.1 BioNTech Employee Equity Plan BioNTech 2020 Employee Equity Plan for Employees Based Outside North America (Equity-Settled) Description of Share-Based Payments In December 2020, we approved the BioNTech 2020 Employee Equity Plan for employees based outside North America, or the European Plan. Under the European Plan, Restricted Stock Units, or RSUs, are offered to our employees. As of the grant date in February 2021, the European Plan was implemented for the calendar year 2020 by entering into award agreements with our employees under the LTI 2020 program. In addition, further award agreements were entered into under the LTI-plus LTI-plus LTI-plus Measurement of Fair Values The fair values of the awards issued under the European Plan were based upon the price of our ADSs representing ordinary shares at grant date.

Under the North American Plan, RSUs are offered to our employees. These RSUs vest over four years, with 25 % vesting one year after the service commencement date and the remainder vesting in equal quarterly installments thereafter. The first awards under the North American Plan were granted in February 2021. The service date for these awards is the date as of which the employee became employed by BioNTech US. During the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, further awards were granted under the North American Plan, which included awards granted to new hire employees and ongoing recurring awards to existing employees on the approximate anniversary of each employee’s start date of employment with BioNTech US. As these RSUs are intended to be cash-settled upon vesting, the awards were defined as a cash-settled share-based payment arrangement. During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, the exercise of RSUs resulted in a cash outflow of € and nil , respectively As of December 31, 2022, the liability related to these awards amount ed 16.2 Management Board Grant – Short-Term Incentive (Cash-Settled) The service agreements with our Management Board provide for a short-term incentive compensation which is an annual performance-related bonus for the years of their respective service periods. 50% of those yearly awards are paid out one year after the achievement of the performance targets for the respective bonus year has been determined subject to an adjustment relative to the performance of the price of the American Depositary Shares representing our ordinary shares during that year (second installment). The second installments represent cash-settled share-based payment arrangements. The fair values of the liabilities are recognized over the awards’ vesting periods beginning when entering or renewing service agreements, i.e., being the service commencement date, until each separate determination date and are remeasured until settlement date. As of December 31, 2022, the liability related to these awards amounted 16.3 Management Board Grant Long-Term Incentive (Partly Equity-Settled, Partly Cash-Settled) Description of Share-Based Payments The service agreements with our Management Board provide for long-term incentive compensation (Management Board Grant - LTI) through an annual grant of options to acquire BioNTech shares during their respective service periods. The options granted each year will be subject to the terms and conditions of the respective authorizations of the Annual General Meeting creating our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) and the applicable option agreement thereunder. The options will vest annually in equal installments over four years commencing on the first anniversary of the allocation date and will be exercisable four years after the allocation date. The vested options can only be exercised if each of the following performance criteria has been achieved: (i) at the time of exercise, the current price is equal to or greater than the threshold amount (that is, the exercise price, provided that such amount increases by seven percentage points on each anniversary of the allocation date); (ii) at the time of exercise, the current price is at least equal to the target price (that is, (a) for the twelve-month period starting on the fourth anniversary of the allocation date, $8.5 billion divided by the total number of the ordinary shares outstanding immediately following the initial public offering (other than ordinary shares owned by BioNTech), and (b) for each twelve-month period starting on the fifth or subsequent anniversary of the allocation date, 107% of the target share price applicable for the prior twelve-month period); and (iii) the closing price for the fifth trading day prior to the start of the relevant exercise window is higher than the exercise price by at least the same percentage by which the Nasdaq Biotechnology Index or a comparable successor index as of such time is higher than such index was as of the last trading day before the allocation date. Following the expiry of the waiting period, option rights may be exercised during the exercise windows as set out in the ESOP agreement. The option rights can be exercised up to after the allocation date. If they have not been exercised by that date, they will be forfeited without compensation. The right to receive options generally represents an equity-settled share-based payment arrangement. The allocation of the number of issued options in 2020 occurred in February 2020. In May 2021 and May 2022, phantom options equivalent to the number of options the Management Board members would have been entitled to receive for 2021 and 2022 were granted under the Management Board Grant which led to a modification from equity-settled to cash-settled share-based payment arrangement and a reclassification of €1.1 million and €3.3 million between equity and non-current Measurement of Fair Values A Monte-Carlo simulation model has been used to measure the fair values at the (estimated) allocation dates of the Management Board Grant. This model incorporates the impact of the performance criteria regarding share price and index development described above. The parameters used for measuring the fair values as of the respective (estimated) allocation dates were as follows: Allocation date February 2020 Allocation date May 12, 2021 (1) Allocation date May 17, 2021 (1) Allocation date May 2022 (1) Weighted average fair value € 10.83 € 54.51 € 50.69 € 65.99 Weighted average share price € 28.20 € 174.51 € 185.92 € 153.16 Exercise price (2) € 28.32 € 173.66 € 175.16 € 142.60 Expected volatility (%) 36.6 % 46.5 % 46.5 % 44.4 % Expected life (years) 4.8 4.6 4.6 5.8 Risk-free interest rate (%) 1.6 % 3.8 % 3.8 % 3.9 % (1) Classified as cash-settled share-based payment arrangement; all other share-based payment arrangements are classified as equity-settled.

Under the exercise price cap the exercise price shall be adjusted to ensure that the current price of an ADS as of the exercise date does not exceed 800% of the exercise price. Under the maximum cap mechanism the maximum economic benefit receivable in respect of any exercised option, is capped at $ t p , after the allocation date. If they have not been exercised by that date, they will be forfeited without compensation. Measurement of Fair Values A Monte-Carlo simulation model has been used to measure the fair value at the grant date of the Chief Executive Officer Grant. This model incorporates the impact of the performance criteria regarding share price and index development described above in the calculation of the award’s fair value at grant the date. The inputs used in the measurement of the fair value at grant the date of the Chief Executive Officer Grant were as follows: Grant date October 9, 2019 Weighted average fair value € 5.63 Weighted average share price € 13.60 Exercise price € 13.60 Expected volatility (%) 41.4 % Expected life (years) 5.4 Risk-free interest rate (%) 1.5 % Expected volatility was based on an evaluation of the historical volatilities of comparable companies over the historical period commensurate with the expected term. The expected term was based on general option holder behavior for employee options. Reconciliation of Outstanding Share-Options During the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, no further options were granted or forfeited. As of December 31, 2022 As of December 31, 2022, the share options outstanding had a remaining weighted 16.5 Employee Stock Ownership Plan (Partly Equity-Settled, Partly Cash-Settled) Description of Share-Based Payments Based on an authorization of the general meeting on August 18, 2017, we established a share option program under which we granted selected employees options to receive our shares. The program is designed as an Employee Stock Ownership Plan, or ESOP. We offered the participants a certain number of rights by explicit acceptance by the participants. The exercise of the option rights in accordance with the agreement gives the participants the right to obtain shares against payment of the exercise price. With respect to the Management Board members, other than Ryan Richardson, who was not a Management Board member at the time the options were granted, the options are subject to the effective exercise price cap as well as the maximum cap mechanism. Under the exercise price cap the exercise price shall be adjusted to ensure that the current price of an ADS as of the exercise date does not exceed 800% of the exercise price. Under the maximum cap mechanism, the maximum economic benefit receivable in respect of any exercised option, is capped at $240. As a result, the effective exercise price will not increase above a Euro amount equivalent to $ . The option rights (other than Prof. Özlem Türeci’s, M.D., and Ryan Richardson’s options) generally fully vest after four years and can only be exercised if: (i) the waiting period of four years has elapsed; and (ii) at the time of exercise, the average closing price of the shares of the Company or the average closing price of the right or certificate to be converted into an amount per share on the previous ten trading days preceding the exercise of the option right exceeds the strike price by a minimum of %, with this percentage increasing by eight percentage points as of the fifth anniversary of the respective issue date and as of each subsequent anniversary date. Following the expiry of the waiting period, option rights may be exercised within a period of four weeks from the date of the Annual General Meeting or the publication of the annual financial statements, the semi-annual report or our most recent quarterly report or interim report (exercise windows). The option rights can be exercised up to eight years after the allocation date. If they have not been exercised by that date, they will be forfeited without compensation. By way of a shareholders’ resolution of the general meeting on August 19, 2019, the authorization to issue such option rights was amended such that, in order for the options to be exercisable, the average closing price of the Company’s shares or the average closing price of the right or certificate to be converted into an amount per share on the ten trading days immediately preceding the exercise must exceed the strike price by a minimum increasing by seven percentage points as of the fifth anniversary of the issue date and as of each subsequent anniversary date. Also, in addition to the aforementioned requirements, the exercise is only possible if the share price (calculated by reference to the price of the ordinary share underlying the ADS) has performed similar to or better than the Nasdaq Biotechnology Index. The changes made do not affect option rights already issued. Measurement of Fair Values The fair value of the ESOP has been measured using a binomial model. Service conditions attached to the arrangement were not taken into account in measuring the fair value. The share options can only be exercised by the grantee if the price of the share is equal or greater to the t a the The inputs used in the measurement of the fair values at th e Grant date November 15, 2018 Grant dates between February 21 and April 3, 2019 Grant dates between April 29 and May 31, 2019 Grant date December 1, 2019 Weighted average fair value € 7.41 € 6.93 € 7.04 € 9.49 Weighted average share price € 14.40 € 15.72 € 16.03 € 19.84 Exercise price (1) € 10.14 € 15.03 € 15.39 € 15.82 Expected volatility (%) 46.0 % 46.0 % 46.0 % 46.0 % Expected life (years) 5.8 6.0 6.0 5.5 Risk-free interest rate (%) 0.1 % 0.1 % 0.1 % 0.1 % (1) With respect to the Management Board members, other than Ryan Richardson who was not a Management Board member at the time the options were granted, the options are subject to the effective exercise price cap as well as the maximum cap mechanism. Expected volatility has been based on an evaluation of the historical and the implied volatilities of comparable companies over the historical period commensurate with the expected term. The expected term has been based on general option holder behavior for employee options. Reconciliation of Outstanding Share-Options (Equity-Settled) Set out below is an overview of changes to share options outstanding and number of ordinary shares underlying these options that occurred during the periods indicated: Share options outstanding Number of ordinary shares underlying options Weighted average exercise price (€) (1) As of January 1, 2021 645,892 11,626,056 10.23 Forfeited (3,885 ) (69,932 ) 10.14 As of December 31, 2021 642,007 11,556,124 10.23 As of January 1, 2022 642,007 11,556,124 10.23 Modified (2) (1,040 ) (18,720 ) 10.14 Exercised (3) (583,383 ) (10,500,890 ) 10.14 As of December 31, 2022 57,584 1,036,514 11.10 thereof vested 48,331 869,960 10.14 thereof un-vested 9,253 166,554 15.29 (1) With respect to the Management Board members, other than Ryan Richardson who was not a Management Board member at the time the options were granted, the options are subject to the effective exercise price cap as well as the maximum cap mechanism.

(3) The average closing price of an Deutsche Bundesbank) The Supervisory Board determined in September 2022 that the ESOP settlement in November and December 2022 would be made by delivery of shares (in the form of ADSs) equal to the net value of the exercised option rights after deduction of (i) the exercise price and (ii) the applicable wage taxes (including solidarity surcharge thereon and church tax, if applicable) and social security contributions resulting from such exercise.

Generally, the options’ exercise prices are €10.14. Contemporaneous phantom The average closing prices (10-day averages) of an American Depositary Share of BioNTech on Nasdaq weighted over the various settlement dates converted from USD to Euro using the exchange rate published by the German Central Bank (Deutsche Bundesbank) , , The liability is based on the fair value of the respective rights.

The related expenses were recognized in cost of sales in our consolidated statements of profit or loss. The change of € million compared to the previous period related to additions. Provisions for legal proceedings mainly related to purported obligations arising out of certain contractual disputes unrelated to the below mentioned patent proceedings (€ 177.9 359.1 As of December 31, 2022, our current provisions included € million in other obligations mainly comprising inventor remunerations as well as customs and duties ( € million as of December 31, 2021, mainly comprising inventor remunerations as well as customs and duties). The change o f € million compared to the previous period related mainly to additions. Contingencies Our contingencies include, but are not limited to, intellectual property disputes and product liability and other product-related litigation. From time to time, in the normal course and conduct of our business, we may be involved in discussions with third parties about considering, for example, the use and/or remuneration for use of such third party’s intellectual property. As of December 31, 2022, none of such intellectual property-related considerations that we have been notified of and for which potential claims could be brought against us or our subsidiaries in the future, fulfill the criteria for recording a provision. We are subject to an increasing number of product liability claims. Such claims often involve highly complex issues related to medical causation, correctness and completeness of product information (Summary of Product Characteristics/package leaflet) as well as label warnings and reliance thereon, scientific evidence and findings, actual and provable injury, and other matters. These complexities vary from matter to matter. As of December 31, 2022, none of these claims fulfill the criteria for recording a provision. Substantially all of our contingencies are subject to significant uncertainties and, therefore, determining the likelihood of a loss and/or the measurement of any loss can be complex. Consequently, we are unable to estimate the range of reasonably possible loss. Our assessments, which result from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties, are based on estimates and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by management, but that may prove to be incomplete or inaccurate, and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur that might cause us to change those estimates and assumptions. We currently do not believe that any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, and will continue to monitor the status of these and other claims that may arise. However, we could incur judgments, enter into settlements or revise our expectations regarding the outcome of matters, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and/or our cash flows in the period in which the amounts are accrued or paid. We will continue to evaluate whether, if circumstances were to change in the future, the recording of a provision may be needed and whether potential indemnification entitlements exist against any such claim. Certain pending matters to which we are a party are discussed below. Alnylam Proceedings In March 2022, Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc., or Alnylam, filed a lawsuit against Pfizer and Pharmacia & Upjohn Co. LLC in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware alleging that an existing patent owned by Alnylam, U.S. Patent No. 11,246,933, or the ‘933 Patent, is infringed by the cationic lipid used in Comirnaty We believe we have strong defenses against the allegations claimed relative to each of the patents and intend to vigorously defend ourselves in the proceedings mentioned above. However, our analysis of Alnylam’s claims is ongoing and complex, and we believe the outcome of the suit remains substantially uncertain. Taking into account discussions with our external lawyers, we do not consider the probability of an outflow of resources to be sufficient to recognize a provision at the balance sheet date. In our opinion, these matters constitute contingent liabilities as of the balance sheet date. However, it is currently impractical for us to estimate with sufficient reliability the respective contingent liabilities. CureVac Proceedings In July 2022, CureVac AG, or CureVac, filed a lawsuit against us and our wholly owned subsidiaries, BioNTech Manufacturing GmbH and BioNTech Manufacturing Marburg GmbH, in the Düsseldorf Regional Court, alleging Comirnaty non-infringement Comirnaty non-infringement We believe we have strong defenses against the allegations claimed relative to each of the patents and utility models and intend to vigorously defend ourselves in the proceedings mentioned above. However, our analysis of CureVac’s claims is ongoing and complex, and we believe the outcome of the suit remains substantially uncertain. Taking into account discussions with our external lawyers, we do not consider the probability of an outflow of resources to be sufficient to recognize a provision at the balance sheet date. In our opinion, these matters constitute contingent liabilities as of the balance sheet date. However, it is currently impractical for us to estimate with sufficient reliability the respective contingent liabilities. Moderna Proceedings In August 2022, ModernaTX, Inc., or Moderna, filed three patent infringement lawsuits against us and Pfizer related to Comirnaty Comirnaty asserting infringement of the EP’949 Patent and EP’565 Patent against us and our wholly owned subsidiaries, BioNTech Manufacturing GmbH, BioNTech Europe GmbH and BioNTech Manufacturing Marburg GmbH, Pfizer Limited, Pfizer Manufacturing Belgium NV and Pfizer Inc. in the Business and Property Courts of England and Wales. Additionally, Moderna filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts against us and our wholly owned subsidiaries BioNTech Manufacturing GmbH and BioNTech US Inc. and Pfizer Inc. alleging infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 10,898,574 10,702,600 10,933,127 Comirnaty We believe we have strong defenses against the allegations claimed relative to each of the patents and intend to vigorously defend ourselves in the proceedings mentioned above. However, our analysis of Moderna’s claims is ongoing and complex, and we believe the outcome of the suit remains substantially uncertain. Taking into account discussions with our external lawyers, we do not consider the probability of an outflow of resources to be sufficient to recognize a provision at the balance sheet date. In our opinion, these matters constitute contingent liabilities as of the balance sheet date.

List Of Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Preparation | 2.1 Basis of Preparation General The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Financial Reporting Board (IASB). We prepare and publish our consolidated financial statements in Euros and round numbers to thousands or millions of Euros, respectively. 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. Rounding applied may differ from rounding published in different units in the previous years. |
Segment Information | Segment Information Decisions with respect to business operations and resource allocations are made by our Management Board, as the chief operating decision maker (CODM) based on BioNTech as a whole. Accordingly, we operate and make decisions as a single operating segment, which is also our reporting segment. |
Basis of Consolidation | 2.2 Basis of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of BioNTech SE and its controlled investees (subsidiaries). The Group controls an investee if, and only if, the Group has • power over the investee ( i.e. • exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and • the ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns. Generally, there is a presumption that a majority of voting rights results in control. Whether an investee is controlled is re-assessed The profit / (loss) and each component of other comprehensive income / (loss) for the period are attributed to the equity holders of the parent of the Group and to the non-controlling non-controlling A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. If control over a subsidiary is lost, the related assets (including goodwill), liabilities, non-controlling |
Business Combinations and Goodwill | 2.3.1 Business Combinations and Goodwill Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, which is measured at acquisition date fair value, and the amount of any non-controlling Goodwill is initially measured at cost as the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognized for non-controlling Costs related to executing business combinations are recognized when they are incurred and are classified as general and administrative expenses. After initial recognition, goodwill is tested at least annually or when there is an indication for impairment. See Note 2.3.14. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units. Where goodwill has been allocated to a cash-generating unit (CGU) and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the disposed operation is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal. Goodwill disposed in these circumstances is measured based on the relative values of the disposed operation and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained. |
Current versus Non-Current Classifications | 2.3.2 Current versus Non-Current Assets and liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial position are presented based on current or non-current An asset is current when it is either: (i) expected to be realized or intended to be sold or consumed in the normal operating cycle, (ii) held primarily for the purpose of trading, (iii) expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period or (iv) cash or cash equivalents, unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current. A liability is current when it is either: (i) expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle, (ii) held primarily for the purpose of trading, (iii) due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or (iv) there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. The terms of the liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification. The Group classifies all other liabilities as non-current. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current |
Fair Value Measurement | 2.3.3 Fair Value Measurement Fair value is a market-based measurement. For some assets and liabilities, observable market transactions or market information is available. For other assets and liabilities, observable market transactions or market information might not be available. When a price for an identical asset or liability is not observable, another valuation technique is used. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, there are three levels of the fair value hierarchy: • Level 1 contains the use of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly. • Level 3 inputs are unobservable. Within this hierarchy, estimated values are made by management based on reasonable assumptions, including other fair value methods. For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements at fair value on a recurring basis, we determine whether transfers have occurred between levels in the fair value hierarchy by re-assessing For the purpose of fair value disclosures, classes of assets and liabilities have been determined on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy, as explained above. |
Revenue from Contracts with Customers | 2.3.4 Revenue from Contracts with Customers Revenue Identification of the Contract We generate revenues from collaboration and license agreements, which contain multiple elements, including licenses to use, research, develop, manufacture and commercialize candidates and products, research and development services as well as obligations to develop and manufacture preclinical and clinical material and products. We determined that those collaboration and license agreements qualify as contracts with customers. A contract is an agreement between two or more parties that establishes enforceable rights and obligations. Identification of Performance Obligations Our customer contracts often include bundles of licenses, goods and services. If the granting of a license is bundled together with delivering of goods and or the rendering of services, it is assessed whether these agreements are comprised of more than one performance obligation. A performance obligation is only accounted for as the grant of a license if the grant of a license is the sole or the predominant promise of the performance obligation. Determining Transaction Prices We apply judgement when determining the consideration that is expected to be received. If the consideration in an agreement includes a variable amount, we estimate the amount of consideration to which we will be entitled in exchange for transferring the goods to the customer. At contract inception, the variable consideration is estimated based on the most likely amount of consideration expected from the transaction and constrained until it is highly probable that a significant revenues reversal in the amount of cumulative revenues recognized will not occur when the associated uncertainty with respect to the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The estimated revenues are updated at each reporting date to reflect the current facts and circumstances. Allocation of Transaction Prices If a contract with a customer contains more than one performance obligation, the transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on relative standalone selling prices. We have established the following hierarchy to determine the standalone selling prices. • Where standalone selling prices for offered licenses, goods or services are observable and reasonably consistent across customers, our standalone selling price estimates are derived from our respective pricing history. However due to the limited number of customers and the limited company history this approach can rarely be used. • Where sales prices for an offering are not directly observable or highly variable across customers, we follow a cost-plus-margin approach. • For offerings that have highly variable pricing and lack substantial direct costs to estimate based on a cost-plus-margin approach, we allocate the transaction price by applying a residual approach. Judgment is required when estimating standalone selling prices. Recognition of Revenues For each separate performance obligation, it is evaluated whether control is transferred either at a point in time or over time. For performance obligations that are satisfied over time, revenues are recognized based on a measure of progress, which depicts the performance in transferring control to the customer. Under the terms of our licensing arrangements, we provide the licensee with a research and development license, which represents a right to access our intellectual property as it exists throughout the license period (as our intellectual property is still subject to further research). Therefore, the promise to grant a license is accounted for as a performance obligation satisfied over time as our customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits from our performance. Earnings based on the collaboration partners’ gross profit, which is shared under the respective collaboration agreements, are recognized based on the sales-based or usage-based royalty exemption; i.e. when, or as, the underlying sales occur, which is when the performance obligation has been satisfied. As described further in Note 3 certain judgment is applied when accounting for the collaboration agreements. Revenue arrangements that involve two or more partners who contribute to the provision of a specific good or service to a customer are assessed in terms of principal-agent considerations in order to determine the appropriate treatment for the transactions between us and the collaborator and the transactions between us and other third parties. The classification of transactions under such arrangements is determined based on the nature and contractual terms of the arrangement along with the nature of the operations of the participants. Any consideration related to activities in which we are considered the principal, which includes being in control of the good or service before such good or service is transferred to the customer, are accounted for as gross revenues. Any consideration related to activities in which we are considered the agent, are accounted for as net revenues. Revenues from the sale of pharmaceutical and medical products ( e.g COVID-19 For certain contracts, the finished product may temporarily be stored at our location under a bill-and-hold bill-and-hold Contract Balances Contract Assets A contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to the customer. If we transfer goods or services to a customer before the customer pays the respective consideration or before payment is due, a contract asset is recognized for the earned consideration that is conditional. Trade Receivables A receivable represents our right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional ( i.e Contract Liabilities A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which we have received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before we transfer goods or services to the customer, a contract liability is recognized when the payment is made or when the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue when we fulfill our performance obligations under the contract. Refund Liabilities A refund liability is a consideration which has been received but which will need to be refunded to the customer in the future as it represents an amount to which we are ultimately not entitled under the contract. A refund liability is measured at the amount of consideration received (or receivable) to which we do not expect to be entitled (i.e., amounts not included in the transaction price). We update our estimates of refund liabilities (and the corresponding change in the transaction price) at the end of each reporting period. |
Government Grants | 2.3.5 Government Grants Government grants are recognized where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attached conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognized as other income on a systematic basis over the periods that the related costs, for which the grant is intended to compensate, are expensed. When the grant relates to an asset, it is recognized as deferred income within the consolidated statements of financial position. Other income is subsequently recognized in our consolidated statements of profit or loss over the useful life of the underlying asset subject to funding. |
Taxes | 2.3.6 Taxes Current Income Tax Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date in the countries where the Group operates and generates taxable income. In addition, current income taxes presented for the period include adjustments for uncertain tax payments or tax refunds for periods not yet finally assessed by tax authorities, excluding interest expenses and penalties on the underpayment of taxes. In the event that amounts included in the tax return are considered unlikely to be accepted by the tax authorities (uncertain tax positions), a provision for income taxes is recognized. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate. Deferred Tax Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except: • when the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or • in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint arrangements, when the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized, except: • when the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or • in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint arrangements, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year in which the asset is realized, or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are re-assessed Recognition of Taxes Current and deferred tax items are recognized similarly to the underlying transaction either in profit or loss, other comprehensive income or directly in equity. Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset if, and only if, we have a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and intend either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are only offset when we have a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets and current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either (i) the same taxable entity or (ii) different taxable entities, which intend either to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered. Sales Tax Expenses and assets are recognized net of sales tax, except when the sales tax incurred on a purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the taxation authority. The net amount of sales tax recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the consolidated statements of financial position. Future tax legislation Based on the Organisation for Economic Co-operation (so-called so-called The date of application of the national domestic law in Germany is scheduled for the fiscal year 2024. Subsequent, when the OECD Model Rules has entered into force in Germany, the Group will be obliged to file top-up so-called top-up so-called top-up |
Foreign Currencies | 2.3.7 Foreign Currencies Our consolidated financial statements are presented in Euros, which is also our functional currency. For each entity, the Group determines the functional currency, and items included in the consolidated financial statements of such entities are measured using that functional currency. We use the direct method of consolidation and, on disposal of a foreign operation, the gain or loss that is reclassified to the consolidated statements of profit or loss reflects the amount that arises from using this method. Transactions and Balances Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Group’s entities at their respective functional currency spot rates at the date the transaction first qualifies for recognition. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency spot rates of exchange at the reporting date. Non-monetary In determining the spot exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income (or part of it) on the derecognition of a non-monetary non-monetary non-monetary non-monetary Foreign Currency Translation Foreign currency translation effects from the translation of operating activities include foreign exchange differences arising on operating items such as trade receivables and trade payables and are either shown as other operating income or expenses on a cumulative basis. Foreign currency translation effects presented within finance income and expenses include foreign exchange differences arising on financing items such as loans and borrowings as well as foreign exchange differences arising on cash and cash equivalents and are either shown as finance income or expenses on a cumulative basis. Foreign Currency Translation on Consolidation Upon consolidation, the assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Euros at the rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date and the transactions recorded in their consolidated statements of profit or loss are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. The exchange differences arising on translation for consolidation are recognized in other comprehensive income. On disposal of a foreign operation, the component of other comprehensive income relating to that particular foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss. Any goodwill arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation and any fair value adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities arising upon the acquisition are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the spot rate of exchange at the reporting date. |
Cash Dividend | 2.3.8 Cash Dividend We recognize a liability to pay a dividend when the distribution is authorized. As per the corporate laws of Germany, a distribution is authorized when it is approved by the general shareholder meeting. A corresponding amount is recognized directly in equity. |
Property, Plant and Equipment | 2.3.9 Property, Plant and Equipment Construction in progress is stated at cost. Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of the property, plant and equipment if the recognition criteria are met. All other repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows: Property, plant and equipment Useful life Buildings 10-33 Equipment, tools and installations 5 18 Operating and business equipment h An item of property, plant and equipment initially recognized is derecognized upon disposal ( i.e The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial year-end |
Leases | 2.3.10 Leases At the inception of a contract, we assess whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, we assess whether: • the contract involves the use of an identified asset—this may be specified explicitly or implicitly and should be physically distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a substantive substitution right, then the asset is not identified; • we have the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset throughout the period of use; and • we have the right to direct the use of the asset. We possess this right when we hold the decision-making rights that are most relevant to changing how and for what purpose the asset is used. In rare cases where the decision about how and for what purpose the asset is used is predetermined, the Group has the right to direct the use of the asset if either: • we have the right to operate the asset; or • we designed the asset in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose it will be used. At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the consideration in the contract is allocated to each lease component on the basis of their relative standalone prices. However, for leases of land and buildings in which it is a lessee, we have elected not to separate non-lease non-lease We recognize a right-of-use The right-of-use The right-of-use right-of-use right-of-use right-of-use The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the incremental borrowing interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the incremental borrowing rate is used as the discount rate. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following: • fixed payments, including in-substance • variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as of the commencement date; • amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and • the exercise price under a purchase option that is reasonably certain to be exercised, lease payments in an optional renewal period if it is reasonably certain that the extension option is exercised, and penalties for early termination of a lease unless it is reasonably certain that the contract is not terminate early. The lease liability is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if we change our assessment of whether we will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option. When the lease liability is remeasured, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use right-of-use Right-of-use Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets or shorter lease term, as follows: Right-of-use Useful life or shorter lease term (years) Buildings 2-25 Equipment, tools and installations 2-5 Production facilities 2-3 Automobiles 3-4 Short-Term Leases and Leases of Low-Value We have elected not to recognize right-of-use low-value |
Intangible Assets | 2.3.11 Intangible Assets Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is their fair value at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized generally on a straight-line basis over the useful life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at the end of each reporting period at the least. The amortization expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognized in the consolidated statements of profit or loss in the expense category that is consistent with the function of the intangible assets. A summary of the useful lives applied to the Group’s intangible assets is as follows: Intangible assets Useful life (years) Intellectual property rights 8-20 Licenses 3-20 Software 3-8 Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment at least annually, or when there is an indication for impairment, either individually or at the level of a cash-generating unit (see Note 2.3.14 for further details). The assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life continues to be supportable. If not, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis. We have classified advanced payments on intangible assets as intangible assets, which are not yet ready for use. Advanced payments on intangible assets are tested for impairment on an annual basis. An intangible asset is derecognized upon disposal ( i.e Research and Development Costs Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development expenditures on an individual project are recognized as an intangible asset if, and only if, all of the following six criteria can be demonstrated: • the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that the asset will be available for use or sale; • the intention to complete the project; • the ability and intention to use or sell the asset; • how the asset will generate future economic benefits; • the availability of resources to complete the asset; and • the ability to reliably measure the expenditure during development. Due to the inherent risk of failure in pharmaceutical development and the uncertainty of approval, management has determined that these criteria are not met in the biotech sector until regulatory approval has been obtained. The related expenditure is reflected in the consolidated statements of profit or loss in the period in which the expenditure is incurred. Following initial recognition of the development expenditure as an asset, the asset is carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortization of the asset begins when development is complete and the asset is available for use. It is amortized over the period of expected future benefit. Amortization is recorded in cost of sales. During the period of development, the asset is tested for impairment annually. |
Financial Instruments | 2.3.12 Financial Instruments A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. i) Financial Assets Initial Recognition and Measurement Financial assets mainly include trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, cash deposits with an original term of six months recognized as other financial assets as well as equity investments. Financial assets are initially measured at fair value and – depending on their classification – subsequently measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI) or fair value through profit or loss. Subsequent Measurement The measurement of financial assets depends on their classification, as described below. Financial Assets measured at Amortized Cost Financial assets at amortized cost include trade receivables. With respect to trade receivables, we applied the practical expedient which means that they are measured at the transaction price determined under IFRS 15. Refer to the accounting policies in Note 2.3.4. Other financial assets are measured at amortized costs since they are held to collect contractual cash flows, which are solely payments of principal and interest. Gains and losses are recognized in our consolidated statements of profit or loss when the financial asset is derecognized, modified or impaired. Financial Assets designated at Fair Value through OCI (Equity Instruments) Upon initial recognition, we can irrevocably elect to classify equity investments as equity instruments designated at fair value through OCI when they meet the definition of equity under IAS 32 and are not held for trading. The classification is determined on an instrument-by-instrument non-listed Financial Assets at Fair Value through Profit or Loss D erivatives not designated as hedging instruments are measured at fair value through profit or loss. A financial asset exists if the derivative has a positive fair valu e. Derecognition A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognized (i.e., removed from the consolidated statements of financial position) when the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired or have been transferred in terms of fulfilling the derecognition criteria. Impairment of Financial Assets An allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) is considered for all non-derivative For trade receivables and contract assets, the Group applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognizes a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. We have established an ECL-model ii) Financial Liabilities Financial liabilities are generally measured at amortized cost using the effective-interest method. Derivatives with negative fair values not designated as hedging instruments and liabilities for contingent consideration in business combinations are measured at fair value. All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs. Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost, include loans and borrowings, trade payables and other financial liabilities. They are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Gains and losses are recognized in the consolidated statements of profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the EIR amortization process. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included as finance costs in the consolidated statements of profit or loss. Derecognition A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the consolidated statements of profit or loss. iii) Expenses and Income from Exchange Forward Contracts Effects from foreign exchange forward contracts, which are measured at fair value through profit or loss, 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 |
Inventories | 2.3.13 Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition are accounted for as follows: • raw materials and supplies: purchase cost on a first-in first-out • unfinished goods and finished goods: cost of direct materials and labor, including both internal manufacturing and third-party contract manufacturing organizations, or CMOs, and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on the normal operating capacity, but excluding borrowing costs. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Write-offs are recorded if inventories are expected to be unsaleable, do not fulfill the specification defined by our quality standards or if its shelf-life has expired. For inventories subject to the collaboration partners’ gross profit share mechanism, we consider the contractual compensation payments in the estimate of the net realizable value. |
Impairment of Non-Financial Assets | 2.3.14 Impairment of Non-Financial At each reporting date, we assess whether there is an indication that a non-financial non-current In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax If a value in use is determined it is based on detailed budgets and forecast calculations, which are prepared separately for each of our cash-generating units to which the individual assets are allocated. These budgets and forecast calculations generally cover a period of at least five years. A long-term growth rate is calculated and applied to project future cash flows after the last year of the detailed planning period. Impairment losses are recognized in the consolidated statements of profit or loss in expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset. For assets excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date to determine whether there is an indication that previously recognized impairment losses no longer exist or have decreased. If such indication exists, the asset’s or cash-generating unit’s recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the consolidated statements of profit or loss. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | 2.3.15 Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term investments we consider to be highly liquid (including deposits and money market funds) with an original maturity of three months or less, that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Deposits with an original maturity of more than three months are recognized as other financial assets. |
Provisions | 2.3.16 Provisions Provisions are recognized when there is a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. When we expect some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example, under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. A provision is also recognized for certain contracts with suppliers for which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations exceed the economic benefits expected to be received. The economic benefits considered in the assessment comprise the future benefits we are directly entitled to under the contract as well as the anticipated future benefits that are the economic consequence of the contract if these benefits can be reliably determined. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the consolidated statements of profit or loss net of any reimbursement. |
Share-Based Payments | 2.3.17 Share-Based Payments Employees (and others providing similar services) receive remuneration in the form of share-based payments, which are settled in equity instruments (equity-settled transactions) or in cash (cash-settled transactions). In accordance with IFRS 2, share-based payments are generally divided into cash-settled and equity-settled. Both types of payment transactions are measured initially at their fair value as of the grant date. The fair value is determined using an appropriate valuation model, further details of which are given in Note 16. Rights granted under cash-settled transactions are remeasured at fair value at the end of each reporting period until the settlement date. The cost of share-based payment awards is recognized over the relevant service period, applying either the straight-line method or the graded vesting method, where applicable. These costs are recognized in cost of sales, research and development expenses, sales and marketing expenses or general and administrative expenses, together with a corresponding increase in equity (other reserves) or other liabilities, over the period in which the service is provided (the vesting period). The cumulative expense recognized for cash- and equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired, and also reflects the best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. If we have a choice of settling either in cash or by providing equity instruments, the rights granted are accounted for as an equity-settled transaction, unless there is a present obligation to settle in cash. If, due to local tax regulations, an amount is withheld for the employee’s tax obligations and paid directly to the tax authorities in cash on the employee’s behalf, the entire share-based payment program remains an equity-settled plan based on the IFRS 2 classification. Accordingly the amount withheld for the employee’s tax obligations expected to be paid directly to the tax authorities is reclassified from Other reserves to Other non-financial |
Treasury Shares | 2.3.18 Treasury Shares We apply the par value method to our repurchases of outstanding American Depositary Shares, or ADSs. Accordingly, the nominal value of acquired treasury shares is deducted from equity shown in a separate category, Treasury Shares. Any premium paid in excess of the nominal value of a repurchased ADS is deducted from capital reserves. On the trade date, we recognize a liability and on the settlement date, we settle in cash. We recognize the foreign exchange differences that may occur between trade and settlement date as profit or loss. |
