Management highlights
BioNTech has three priorities in 2026: accelerate late-stage development of oncology assets, build momentum in combination therapy centered around Pumitamic, and shift to tumor-centric clinical development. Highlights in lung cancer: phase 1 B2A data of Pumitamic monotherapy in advanced NSCLC, collaboration with Boehringer Ingelheim for small cell lung cancer, and progress of Gotistobat in squamous NSCLC. In gynecologic cancers, updated data of TPAM in endometrial cancer. mRNA immunotherapies: data from autogen-savumaran and FIGSVAC trials
Guidance
Reaffirms 2026 financial guidance: total revenues expected in range of $2 to $2.3 billion, adjusted R&D expenses $2.2 to $2.5 billion, adjusted SG&A expenses $700 to $800 million. Plans $1 billion share repurchase program and manufacturing network consolidation for cost savings
Segment performance
First quarter 2026 revenues were €118 million, down from €183 million in the same period last year. R&D expenses were €557 million compared to €526 million in the prior year period, driven by higher spending on oncology and ADC programs. SD&A expenses were €151 million compared to €121 million in the prior year period, mainly due to commercial buildup and post-acquisition inclusion of operations from BioNTech China and CureVac
Risks & headwinds
Forward-looking statements subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including regulatory, market, and clinical trial outcomes
