3. Notes to the Consolidated Statements of Operations

3.1 Revenue from contracts with customers

The Group recognized the following revenues:

	Three months ended March 31,
	2023	2024
	EUR k	EUR k
Belgium
GSK	6,473	8,895
Switzerland
CRISPR	209	3,478
Netherlands
Genmab	447	—
Total	7,129	12,373

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized revenues over-time (i) EUR 7,692k (March 31, 2023: EUR 4,148k) related to delivery of research and development services combined with an IP license (recognized from the upfront payments and achievement of certain milestones as further illustrated in the table below) and (ii) EUR 2,741k (March 31, 2023: EUR 2,849k) from those research and development services considered distinct within the agreements and recognized revenues at point-in-time (iii) EUR 1,940k (March 31, 2023: EUR 132k) related to delivery of products.

Of the total revenues recognized, in the three months ended March 31, 2024, EUR 8,895k in revenue was recognized under the collaboration agreements with GSK, entered into in July 2020, for the research, development, manufacturing and commercialization of mRNA-based vaccines and monoclonal antibodies targeting infectious disease pathogens (“GSK I”) and in April 2021 for research, development and manufacturing of next-generation mRNA vaccines targeting the original SARS-CoV-2 strain as well as emerging variants, including multivalent and monovalent approaches, such as the CureVac’s second-generation COVID-19 vaccine candidate, CV2CoV (“GSK II”). The upfront payment, attributable to research and development services combined with an IP license, and each development milestones reached, are recognized straight-line from the effective date of the collaboration agreement through to the agreed estimated submission date for authority approval, which represents the period of time during which CureVac is responsible for development as, subsequent to this period, GSK will be responsible for further development and commercialization. In the three months ended March 31, 2023, revenue consisted of EUR 6,473k primarily recognized from the upfront payments under both collaboration agreements with GSK.

The Group has received upfront and milestone payments which were initially deferred and are subsequently recognized as revenue as the Group renders services over the performance period. Below is a summary of such payments and the related revenues recognized:

		Upfront and	Upfront and	Revenue recognized from

3.2 Cost of sales

The cost of sales consists of the following:

	Three months ended March 31,
	2023	2024
	EUR k	EUR k
Personnel	(8,188)	(12,395)
Materials	(4,534)	(5,369)
Third-party services	(5,453)	(21,366)
Maintenance and lease	(580)	(1,198)
Amortization and depreciation	(1,170)	(1,028)
Other	(710)	(333)
Total	(20,634)	(41,690)

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, cost of sales increased in comparison to corresponding period in 2023. This increase was primarily attributable to the increase of the CMO provision (refer to Note 12 for further information) and higher personnel expenses related to the voluntary leaver program initiated in March 2024.

3.3 Selling and distribution expenses

Selling and distribution expenses consist of the following:

	Three months ended March 31,
	2023	2024
	EUR k	EUR k
Personnel	(716)	(850)
Amortization and depreciation	—	—
Other	(108)	(105)
Total	(824)	(955)

3.4 Research and development expenses

R&D expenses consists of the following:

	Three months ended March 31,
	2023	2024
	EUR k	EUR k
Materials	(3,489)	(5,561)

Amortization and depreciation	(1,725)	(1,840)
Patents and fees to register/protect a legal right	(857)	(4,459)
Third-party services	(4,692)	(4,684)
Maintenance and lease	(1,766)	(2,021)
Other	(684)	(201)
Total	(24,251)	(27,825)

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, research and development expenses increased in comparison to the same period of 2023 due to increased expenses related to the IP litigations.

The decrease in personnel expense quarter over quarter is primarily due to the reimbursement from GSK on the development costs incurred by CureVac related to CV2CoV, or GSK II. Since the first EUR 100,000k on development costs of GSK II was achieved in August 2023, CureVac recognized GSK’s reimbursement on GSK II as an offset against research and development expenses.

As of March 31, 2024, the Group had no development expenditures which met the requirements for capitalization and thus none have been capitalized.

3.5 General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses consist of the following:

	Three months ended March 31,
	2023	2024
	EUR k	EUR k
Personnel	(9,098)	(6,171)
Maintenance and lease	(1,301)	(1,044)

Legal and other professional services	(1,629)	(1,501)
Amortization and depreciation	(3,106)	(2,231)
Other	(1,152)	(553)
Total	(23,287)	(19,119)

Personnel expenses decreased due to (i) share-based payment expense was lower compared to prior year period (refer to Note 5 for further details) and (ii) lower workforce in the Board of Management as well as in the corporate service functions.

Others include mainly expenses for D&O insurance and allocations.

3.6 Other operating income

	Three months ended March 31,
	2023	2024

On the third anniversary after IPO i.e., on August 14, 2023, a fourth 10% portion of the (vested) virtual shares became exercisable because certain minimum trading volumes of the CureVac N.V. shares and liquidity levels were again reached. The beneficiaries declared the exercise of their then exercisable 786,746 virtual shares by March 22, 2024, and CureVac received 786,746 shares from the old shareholders on that day. On March 26, 2024, CureVac transferred 786,746 shares to the exercising beneficiaries.

6. Fixed Assets

6.1 Intangible assets

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Group acquired intangible assets of EUR 4,078k (three months ended March 31, 2023: EUR 134k). Acquired intangibles mainly related to licenses, software and prepayments made to acquire those.

6.2 Property, plant and equipment

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the increase in property, plant and equipment was attributable to the purchase of technical equipment and machines and other equipment of EUR 1,284k (March 31, 2023: EUR 3,206k) as well as additional amounts recognized as construction in progress of EUR 2,981k (March 31, 2023: EUR 12,631k) primarily related to the Company-owned GMP IV facility EUR 2,524k.

7. Assets held for sale

In 2022, Management decided to dispose of certain equipment which had been procured for CMO activities (CMO Equipment) but that was no longer planned to be used by the Company. An external service-provider was appointed on June 14, 2022 to organize the sale of the CMO Equipment. The CMO-Equipment identified for sale had a gross book value of EUR 9,130k, as of December 31, 2023, and was written down by EUR 6,711k (with the corresponding expense recognized in cost of sales) to EUR 2,419k, the fair value less anticipated costs to sell. Criteria for the determination of the fair value were defined based on certain sales scenarios considering different sales campaigns. The Company is actively working on selling the remaining equipment and as of March 31, 2024, assets held for sale with a net book value of EUR 523k were sold through an external service provider.

8. Inventories

The inventories include only raw materials and supplies amounting to EUR 26,207k (December 31, 2023: EUR 24,801k), which are recoverable under the Company’s agreements with its collaboration partners. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the increase in inventory of EUR 1,406k is primarily due to purchase of raw material.

9. Prepaid expenses and other assets (current)

Prepaid expenses and other current assets as of March 31, 2024 amounted to EUR 22,820k (December 31, 2023: 23,763k) and include prepayments for future service agreements and material in the amount of EUR 2,137k (December 31, 2023: EUR 1,075k), deferred charges of EUR 5,558k (December 31, 2023: EUR 5,463k) and receivables of EUR 8,312k (December 31, 2023: EUR 4,344k). As of March 31, 2024, we had tax receivables, mainly VAT refund claims, of EUR 6,813k in other current assets (December 31, 2023: EUR 12,881k).

10. Financial assets and financial liabilities

Fair values of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, and other current liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. Cash and cash equivalents compromise cash at banks and term deposits.

Cash and cash equivalents compromise cash at banks and term deposits. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and no transfers into or out of Level 3 fair value measurements during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

11. Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are all due within one year amounting to EUR 18,457k (December 31, 2023: EUR 48,033k). During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the decrease of EUR 29,576k in trade and other payables was primarily due payments to raw material suppliers for invoices received before December 31, 2023.

12. Other liabilities and provisions

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the increase of EUR 8,960k in other liabilities and provisions was primarily due to higher provisions partially offset by lower accruals for outstanding invoices.

In May 2024, the Company received the second ruling of its three CMO arbitrations. In 2022, Celonic Deutschland GmbH & Co. KG initiated arbitration proceedings according to the procedural rules of the German Arbitration Institute against the Company, following the termination of the agreement by CureVac after the withdrawal of the EMA dossier of CVnCoV, the Company's first generation SARS COV-2 vaccine candidate. The Company defended against Celonic’s claims in written submission and the oral hearings. In the final award, the arbitration tribunal awarded 65% of Celonic’s claims. The provision related to the Celonic arbitration therefore increased by EUR 17,000k.

13. Income tax

The increase of tax expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024, was primarily attributable to the deferred tax expense of CureVac Corporate Services GmbH.

Current tax assets of EUR 5,826k (December 31, 2023: 5,201k) consists of withholding tax receivables.

14. Disclosure of financial instruments and management of financial risks

As the Group requires significant liquid funds available for the financing of its research and development activities, during the three months ended March 31, 2024, it has maintained funds as cash and cash equivalents and not in less liquid financial instruments. The Group has distributed the cash amongst several banks and amongst the legal entities in the Group in order to avoid cluster risks.

Refer to note 15 to the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023, for additional information on the Group’s risk management activities. As of March 31, 2024, the Group held cash and cash equivalents of USD 37,602k and CHF 187k, which are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk. The Group intends to settle expenses arising in US dollars using these US dollar funds.

15. Earnings per share

Earnings per share is calculated pursuant to IAS 33 Earnings per Share by dividing the consolidated net loss in CureVac N.V. by the average weighted number of shares outstanding in the fiscal period.

The weighted number of shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2024, was 224,291,745 (March 31, 2023: 211,444,899). This has led to a basic loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, of EUR 0.31 and 0.27.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated using CureVac’s weighted-average outstanding common shares including the dilutive effect of share-based payment awards as determined under the treasury stock method. In periods when CureVac has a net loss, share-based payment awards are excluded from the calculation of earnings per share as their inclusion would have an antidilutive effect. Share options and RSUs of 1,413,112 and 1,055,985 as of March 31, 2024, and 2023 respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average number of shares because their effect would have been antidilutive.

16. Related party disclosures

Parent and ultimate controlling party

Dievini Hopp BioTech holding GmbH & Co. KG (dievini), which is an investment company dedicated to the support of companies in health and life sciences, was the largest shareholder of CureVac. Together with its related parties, dievini has held shares and voting rights in CureVac between approximately 37-43 % during the last twelve months. dievini is thus the de facto parent of the Group. Dietmar Hopp, Daniel Hopp and Oliver Hopp are the ultimate controlling persons (of the main shareholders) of dievini, and, therefore, control the voting and investment decisions of dievini.

Transfer of shares from the former major shareholders

As discussed in Note 5, a fourth 10% portion of the (vested) virtual shares became exercisable on the third anniversary after IPO i.e., on August 14, 2023, because certain minimum trading volumes of the CureVac N.V. shares and liquidity levels were again reached. The beneficiaries declared the exercise of their then exercisable 786,746 virtual shares by March 22, 2024, and CureVac received 786,746 shares from the old shareholders on that day. On March 26, 2024, CureVac transferred 786,746 shares to the exercising beneficiaries.

17. Subsequent events

In April 2024, the Company entered into a co-development and licensing agreement with The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center (MD Anderson) for the development of novel mRNA-based cancer vaccines. The collaboration creates strong synergies between CureVac’s unique end-to-end capabilities for cancer antigen discovery, mRNA design, and manufacturing and MD Anderson’s expertise in cancer antigen discovery and validation, translational drug development, and clinical research. The collaboration will focus on the development of differentiated cancer vaccine candidates in selected hematological and solid tumor indications with high unmet medical need. Both parties will contribute to the identification of differentiated cancer antigens based on whole genome sequencing, combined with long- and short-read RNA sequencing and cutting-edge bioinformatics followed by joint preclinical validation of the highest-quality cancer antigens and selection of the most promising clinical-lead candidates for conducting initial Phase 1/2 studies in appropriate clinical indications.

In April 2024, the Company announced the start of the Phase 1 part of a combined Phase 1/2 study of an investigational influenza A (H5N1) pre-pandemic vaccine candidate developed in collaboration with GSK. The H5N1 avian influenza virus is considered a potential future pandemic threat, able to cross species from its original bird host to humans. The monovalent vaccine candidate is based on CureVac’s proprietary second-generation mRNA backbone and encodes an influenza A H5-antigen. Avian influenza represents latest program progressing to clinical trials under broad infectious disease collaboration agreement with GSK. This event triggered a further development milestone and CureVac has invoiced an amount of EUR 5,000k to GSK.

Overview

We are a global biopharmaceutical company that is developing a new class of transformative medicines based on messenger ribonucleic acid, or mRNA, which has the potential to improve the lives of people. mRNA plays a central role in cellular biology in the production of proteins in every living cell. Our vision is to revolutionize medicine and open new avenues for developing therapies by enabling the body to make its own drugs. We are pioneers in successfully harnessing mRNAs designed to prevent infections and to treat diseases by mimicking human biology to synthesize the desired proteins. Our technology platform is based on a targeted approach to optimize mRNA constructs that encode functional proteins which either induce a desired immune response or replace defective or missing proteins using the cell’s intrinsic translation machinery. Our current product portfolio includes clinical and preclinical candidates across multiple disease indications in prophylactic vaccines, oncology, and molecular therapy.

Prophylactic Vaccines

In prophylactic vaccines, we are advancing our second-generation mRNA backbone against coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) and a range of infectious diseases, including influenza, in collaboration with GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals SA (“GSK”).

COVID-19 Program in collaboration with GSK (second-generation mRNA backbone)

The collaboration on COVID-19 vaccine candidates with GSK, initiated in April 2021, aims to research, develop and manufacture mRNA vaccines targeting relevant SARS-CoV-2 variants.

On January 5, 2024, CureVac announced positive data from a formal interim analysis in the ongoing Phase 2 clinical study assessing monovalent and bivalent modified COVID-19 vaccine candidates in direct comparison to a licensed bivalent mRNA-based COVID-19 comparator vaccine. The monovalent mRNA vaccine candidate, CV0601, encodes the Omicron BA.4-5 variant; the bivalent candidate, CV0701, encodes the Omicron BA.4-5 variant as well as the original SARS-CoV-2 virus. Both vaccine candidates apply CureVac’s proprietary second-generation mRNA backbone.

Initiation of the Phase 2 study with CV0601 and CV0701 was announced on August 1, 2023. The study is being conducted in Australia and is fully enrolled with 427 healthy adult participants, as announced on November 1, 2023. It assesses the safety and immunogenicity of different single booster doses of CV0601 and CV0701. While the monovalent candidate CV0601 was tested at a single medium dose level, the bivalent candidate CV0701 was tested at low, medium, and high dose levels. All tested dose levels were below those used in mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines licensed in the U.S. and EU.

Results from the formal interim analysis showed that both candidates exhibited a favorable reactogenicity profile across all tested doses and were generally well tolerated with a lower or similar proportion of participants reporting solicited adverse events when compared to comparator vaccine participants within seven days of dosing.

Both candidates produced meaningful immune responses beginning at the lowest tested dose. Interim immunogenicity data showed meaningful titers of neutralizing antibodies for both candidates, which matched or numerically exceeded the titers induced by the licensed comparator vaccine at all tested doses except for the low dose level of CV0701. At the medium dose level tested for CV0601, neutralizing antibody titers against the Omicron BA.4-5 variant on day 29 following the booster vaccination were 5.0 times the pre-boosting titers, numerically exceeding the 3.6-fold ratio generated by the licensed comparator vaccine. At the low, medium, and high dose levels tested for CV0701, neutralizing antibody titers against BA.4-5 on day 29 following the booster vaccination were 2.7-fold, 3.7-fold, and 4.6-fold the titers before the booster, compared to a 3.6-fold ratio for the comparator vaccine.

The Phase 2 study was based on a Phase 1 study with the modified COVID-19 mRNA construct CV0501 also applying our second-generation backbone and encoding the Omicron BA.1 variant. CV0501 was the first vaccine candidate in the COVID-19 program to apply modified mRNA. Vaccination of the first participant in the Phase 1 study with CV0501 was announced on August 18, 2022. The study was conducted at clinical sites in the United States, Australia, and the Philippines to evaluate the safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of a booster vaccination of

CV0501 in 180 participants. Positive preliminary data from the Phase 1 study were reported in January and April 2023 and led to the selection of modified mRNA as the preferred technology for further clinical development in the COVID-19 program. The study was completed in August 2023.

The first representative of our joint COVID-19 vaccine program with GSK based on our second-generation backbone was CV2CoV, an unmodified mRNA construct, encoding the original SARS-CoV-2 virus. A Phase 1 clinical study with CV2CoV was announced on March 30, 2022, to evaluate the safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of a booster vaccination of CV2CoV in 98 participants at clinical sites in the United States. The study was completed in March 2023.

Seasonal Flu Program in collaboration with GSK (second-generation mRNA backbone)

Seasonal flu was disclosed as the first indication from the initial collaboration we started with GSK in July 2020. The collaboration focuses on the development of new products for different targets in the field of infectious diseases, excluding COVID-19.

On April 4, 2024, we announced promising interim data from an ongoing Phase 2 part of the combined Phase 1/2 study of a seasonal influenza vaccine candidate. The multivalent candidate was designed for broad antigen coverage, encoding antigens matched to all four WHO-recommended flu strains. Results from the planned interim analysis showed that the multivalent vaccine candidate boosted antibody titers against all encoded flu strains and across all age groups and tested dose levels, including the lowest tested dose. The vaccine candidate was shown to have an acceptable safety and tolerability profile, with the majority of solicited adverse events reported as either mild or moderate. Among younger and older adults, geometric mean titers generated by the vaccine candidate against influenza A strains numerically exceeded the geometric mean titers of the licensed comparator vaccines consistently across all tested dose levels. For influenza B strains geometric mean titers were lower than those elicited by the licensed comparator vaccines across both age groups and tested dose levels, in line with expectations and other initial mRNA-based clinical flu development programs. Further optimizations to enhance immune responses against influenza B strains will be tested in an additional Phase 2 study.

Initiation of the combined Phase 1/2 for seasonal flu was announced on May 8, 2023. The initial Phase 1 part compared a comprehensive series of multivalent, modified mRNA seasonal flu vaccine candidates with up to eight separate mRNA constructs per candidate, addressing all four WHO-recommended flu strains. Candidates were tested at different dose levels in 270 healthy younger adults (age 18-50). Positive data from an interim analysis of the Phase 1 part was reported on September 12, 2023. Interim safety data showed no safety concerns across all tested dose levels for the multivalent candidates. Immunogenicity of all candidates was assessed in parallel with a licensed seasonal flu vaccine comparator vaccine. The humoral responses observed supported the selection of the preferred vaccine candidate, which is currently being tested in the Phase 2 part of the study.

The combined Phase 1/2 study is based on a Phase 1 study with a modified, monovalent influenza vaccine candidate, Flu-SV-mRNA, announced on August 18, 2022. The vaccine candidate expresses an H1N1 hemagglutinin antigen (subtype of influenza A). The Phase 1 dose-escalation study is being conducted in Canada, Spain, and Belgium to evaluate the safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of Flu-SV-mRNA in younger adults aged 18-45 and older adults aged 60-80. Preliminary safety and reactogenicity data in younger adults showed that the monovalent Flu-SV-mRNA candidate was generally well tolerated with no safety concerns observed to date across all tested dose levels. For older adults, a single dose of Flu-SV-mRNA (dose level undisclosed) was assessed for safety and reactogenicity and was also observed to be safe and well tolerated with no grade 3 adverse events in the 32 subjects who were administered the mRNA construct. Immunogenicity of Flu-SV-mRNA was assessed in parallel with a licensed seasonal flu vaccine comparator in both age groups. In younger adults, adjusted geometric mean hemagglutinin inhibition antibody titers elicited by Flu-SV-mRNA increased up to approximately 3.3 times those elicited by the licensed flu vaccine comparator in younger adults. In older adults, adjusted geometric mean hemagglutinin inhibition antibody titers elicited by Flu-SV-mRNA were approximately 2.3 times those elicited by the licensed flu vaccine comparator. In the same age group, the percentage of subjects achieving seroconversion was 89.7% for Flu-SV-mRNA and 56.2% for the licensed flu vaccine comparator.

The first vaccine candidate within the broader infectious disease program applying our second-generation backbone we tested in collaboration with GSK was the flu candidate, CVSQIV, a multivalent vaccine candidate featuring multiple unmodified mRNA constructs to induce immune responses against relevant targets of four different influenza strains. On February 10, 2022, we announced the start of a Phase 1 dose-escalation study in Panama evaluating the safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of CVSQIV. Preliminary safety data reported on April 28, 2022, showed a benign reactogenicity profile across the tested dose groups. The study was completed in September 2022.

Avian Influenza in collaboration with GSK (second-generation mRNA backbone)

Avian influenza was disclosed as the latest program progressing to clinical trials under the initial collaboration we started with GSK in July 2020. The collaboration focuses on the development of new products for different targets in the field of infectious diseases, excluding COVID-19.

On April 24, 2024, the start of the Phase 1 part of a combined Phase 1/2 study of an investigational influenza A (H5N1) pre-pandemic vaccine candidate was announced. The study assesses a monovalent vaccine candidate encoding an influenza A H5-antigen. The H5N1 avian flu virus is considered a potential future pandemic threat, able to sporadically cross species from its original bird host to other animal hosts to humans.

Oncology

In oncology, we plan to build a meaningful portfolio and create long-term value to accelerate growth beyond the recent progress in prophylactic vaccines. Within our oncology strategy, we follow two approaches: (1) the development of off-the-shelf cancer vaccines based on tumor antigens shared across different cancer indications and (2) the development of fully personalized cancer vaccines based on a patient’s individual tumor genomic profile. Developing new cancer vaccine candidates is characterized by similar medical challenges as in infectious diseases, including selection and accessibility of disease-relevant antigens, enhancing antigen-induced immune activation, and triggering immune responses led by a strong induction of tumor-killing T cells.

A key component to deliver on the development of new cancer vaccines is the build-up of a powerful antigen discovery engine. To complement existing in-house expertise to identify and validate promising antigens for mRNA cancer vaccine candidates and gain access to state-of-the-art antigen discovery technologies, we announced a partnership with Belgium-based company myNEO Therapeutics (“myNEO”) on May 25, 2022, and the acquisition of Netherlands-based Frame Cancer Therapeutics (“Frame”) on June 8, 2022.

Together with immunotherapy company myNEO, we aim to identify specific antigens found on the surface of tumors for the development of novel mRNA immunotherapies. myNEO utilizes a broad range of underlying genomic alterations to identify constantly emerging, novel classes of antigens of defined tumor types. Incorporating new ranking methodologies based on tumor cell antigen processing and presentation is expected to allow for selection of antigens with the highest confidence of success for potential clinical testing. On November 22, 2023, both companies announced that CureVac exercised two exclusive options on selected sets of potential cancer vaccine shared antigen targets. The shared antigen targets identified by my NEO within the collaboration demonstrated strong immunogenicity in undisclosed preclinical studies. The most promising targets will be considered for validation for the design of potential mRNA cancer vaccine candidates.

With the acquisition of Frame, a private company focused on advanced genomics and bioinformatics, we added sophisticated methods to identify unique neoantigens across different cancer types. The former Frame site was inaugurated as CureVac Netherlands and will further develop the proprietary technology platform, which has the potential to identify a broad panel of neoantigens and tumor-associated antigens that go beyond conventional approaches. This could strongly increase the likelihood of developing highly effective cancer vaccines that activate the human immune system against cancer.

The field of immunotherapy has advanced with the progression of available technologies, such as next-generation sequencing, to extract data from patient samples. Conventional approaches have so far focused on the exome, the protein-coding part of the genome, which represents only about 1.5% of the total genetic information. More recently,

breakthrough developments in sequencing capacity have enabled the extraction of vastly larger amounts of data that allows us to utilize the remaining 98.5% of genetic information.

The technologies brought in house with the acquisition of Frame are based on whole-genome-sequencing for every patient sample combined with short as well as long-range RNA sequencing to map the full inventory of genomic changes. More specifically, downstream of the sequencing, a software package integrates all the data to retrieve the exact changes in the DNA of the tumor cells compared to healthy cells. Correlation of this data with changes in the RNA transcription of the tumor results in entirely new and potentially antigenic tumor antigens that we plan to test as targets for a portfolio of new cancer vaccine candidates. These new antigens are not only entirely foreign to the body but are also uniquely expressed in the tumor and not in healthy tissue. In their foreignness, these constructs are expected to raise stronger immune responses than antigens derived from exome-based conventional approaches.

We recently extended our capabilities in oncology with a co-development and licensing agreement with The University of Texas MD Anderson (“M.D. Anderson”) Cancer Center, announced on April 16, 2024. The collaboration creates strong synergies between CureVac’s unique end-to-end capabilities for cancer antigen discovery, mRNA design, and manufacturing and M.D. Anderson’s expertise in cancer antigen discovery and validation, translational drug development, and clinical research. The focus of the collaboration is on the development of differentiated cancer vaccine candidates in selected hematological and solid tumor indications with high unmet medical need. Identification of differentiated cancer antigens via whole genome sequencing, combined with long- and short-read RNA-sequencing and cutting-edge bioinformatics will be followed by joint preclinical validation of the highest-quality cancer antigens and selection of the most promising clinical-lead candidates for conducting initial Phase 1/2 studies in appropriate clinical indications.

Under the collaboration agreement with M.D. Anderson, we are granted an exclusive, fee-bearing, sublicensable license under certain intellectual property to develop, manufacture and commercialize (i) products containing certain RNA-based cancer vaccine candidate(s) developed under the agreement, or M.D. Anderson Cancer Center (“MDACC”) Program Products, for any and all uses for cancer in humans throughout the world and (ii) certain other products that target one or more antigens identified under the agreement throughout the world and M.D. Anderson is granted an exclusive, fee-bearing, sublicensable license under certain intellectual property jointly created under the agreement to develop, manufacture and commercialize certain non-MDACC Program Products that target one or more antigens identified under the agreement throughout the world.

Further, we are solely responsible for the commercialization and commercial manufacturing of the MDACC Program Products for any and all uses related to cancer in humans worldwide. On a program-by-program basis upon completion of the first Phase I/II or Phase I clinical trial, as applicable, for a program, the parties agree to decide on a commercialization strategy through the joint steering committee, including whether such commercialization will be done by us or a third party via a partnership. On a program-by-program basis, each party will fund a specific percentage of all development costs incurred under the agreement. On a program-by-program basis, we will initially receive a percentage of the commercialization proceeds which is equal to our percentage of development costs, subject to certain assumptions and adjustments.

Investigational cancer vaccine CVGBM for surgically resected glioblastoma

To assess the safety and immunogenicity of our second-generation backbone in an oncology setting, we initiated a proof-of-principle Phase 1 study in patients with newly diagnosed surgically resected MGMT-unmethylated glioblastoma or astrocytoma with a molecular signature of glioblastoma on June 20, 2023. The open-label study evaluates the safety and tolerability of CVGBM, a cancer vaccine candidate featuring a single unmodified mRNA encoding eight epitopes derived from known tumor-associated antigens with demonstrated immunogenicity in glioblastoma. On April 24, 2024, we announced that the dose-escalation Part A of the study completed recruitment of all four dose levels. Following review of the safety data, the Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) confirmed no dose limiting toxicities and gave a dose recommendation for 100 µg for the dose-confirmation Part B of the study. Part B is expected to start enrollment mid-2024. A first study data readout is expected in the second half of 2024.

The multiepitope design of CVGBM was supported by preclinical studies assessing the potency of a multiepitope mRNA cancer vaccine construct targeting tumors in a murine melanoma model. The data was presented at the 11th International mRNA Health Conference, hosted by CureVac from October 31 to November 2, 2023, in Berlin, Germany.

The preclinical mRNA construct encoding ten epitopes derived from the murine B.16.F10 melanoma cell line was tested in mice. The study applied three 5 µg doses of LNP-formulated B.16 mRNA, administered intramuscularly at weekly intervals. Data obtained on day 21 confirmed prominent induction of CD8+ and CD4+ T cell responses recognizing epitopes across the full multiepitope construct. Median survival of the animals increased to 30.9 days for treated mice compared to 23.2 days for a group vaccinated with formulated control mRNA.

Strong T cell activation is particularly encouraging and relevant, as the B16-F10 tumor model is characterized as a cytokine deficient “cold” tumor model that exhibits very little immune cell infiltration and resistance to check-point inhibitors. The data suggest that single-agent application of the multiepitope B.16 mRNA construct generated robust T cell activation in the tumor microenvironment, thereby inhibiting tumor growth and extending survival in the applied preclinical model.

The RNA Printer^®

In addition to our GMP manufacturing facilities, we are developing a novel downsized, integrated, and automated process for manufacturing of mRNA vaccines and therapeutics, which we refer to as The RNA Printer^®. The RNA Printer^® is CureVac’s automated end-to-end manufacturing solution for GMP-grade mRNA vaccines and therapeutics and an integral part of our oncology strategy. The highly standardized system is expected to allow for rapid and highly flexible availability of mRNA to screen new targets and transition promising mRNA product candidates more efficiently into the clinic. Designed for small-scale quantities, the automated GMP-grade output of The RNA Printer^® is designed to open avenues for personalized mRNA-based cancer therapies. On November 14, 2023, we announced that the system has successfully achieved the first regulatory milestone by obtaining a manufacturing license from the regional authority in Baden-Württemberg for an mRNA in our cancer vaccine development program to support CureVac’s oncology strategy. The second regulatory milestone was achieved on December 12, 2023, when The RNA Printer^® received a drug substance framework manufacturing license from the regional authority in Baden-Württemberg. The regulatory review process is ongoing.

Molecular Therapies

Our development efforts for molecular therapy are based on delivering optimized mRNAs to trigger production of antibodies or therapeutic proteins. Using our technology, we can instruct human cells to produce or secrete specific proteins in the nucleus, cytoplasm, cellular organelles, cell membrane. Based on this “healthy” information delivered by mRNA, our cells can produce proteins, which are required to treat the disease caused by missing or inactive proteins.

Our mRNA optimization process, which is a core pillar of our RNA optimizer platform, is designed to increase protein expression with the aim to reach therapeutic levels. In preclinical studies in non-human primates, we have demonstrated that antibodies encoded by mRNA can be produced in hepatocytes very rapidly and can reach therapeutic levels in the blood stream. We are currently advancing undisclosed programs in preclinical studies across eye disorders as well as delivering therapeutic antibodies. Our work in eye disorders is carried out in collaboration with the Schepens Eye Research Institute. We expect to publish data from our collaboration in 2024.

Our approach seeks to mitigate clinical and developmental risk across multiple levels to advance and expand our broad product portfolio. We have made advances in utilizing the potential of our technology platform through rational disease selection. We consider a number of factors in our disease selection process including unmet medical need, immune response, duration of expression, dosing requirements, delivery, and targeted tissue types, among other factors. Our programs target the underlying modes of action of the disease that play a critical role in the pathology of the disease. We are initially targeting diseases that require an active immune response (such as prophylactic vaccines and cancer vaccines) and require transient expression of mRNA in tissue types that are more easily accessible. We believe these indications are amenable to localized delivery using a lipid nanoparticle, or LNP, delivery system. Following the encouraging results from our current prophylactic vaccines program in clinical studies and based on our advanced understanding of mRNA biology and immune stimulation control, we have expanded our product portfolio to also target

indications that require an immune silent approach (such as protein delivery), given the need for higher doses, repeated dosing and longer expression of the protein. These initial indications are using LNP delivery systems.

We consider our manufacturing process an important part of our strategy that allows us to match our flexible and versatile technology platform with equally flexible and versatile manufacturing setups. In house, we currently operate three GMP-certified suites, with the capacity to supply our clinical programs and support potential early commercialization activities. We are in the process of building a fourth GMP large-scale production facility at CureVac’s headquarters in Tübingen, which is being designed to cover all manufacturing steps from starting material to formulation.

Key Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations

We believe that the most significant factors affecting our results of operations include:

Research and Development Expenses

Our ability to successfully pioneer a robust mRNA technology platform and develop innovative product candidates will be the primary factor affecting our future growth and development. Our approach to the discovery and development of product candidates based on mRNA technology is still being demonstrated. As such, we do not know whether we will be able to successfully develop any products. Developing novel product candidates requires a significant investment of resources over a prolonged period of time, and a core part of our strategy is to continue making sustained investments in this area. We have chosen to leverage our platform to initially focus on advancing our product candidates in the areas of prophylactic vaccines, oncology and molecular therapy.

All of the product candidates are still in development, and we have incurred and will continue to incur significant research and development costs for preclinical studies and clinical trials. We expect that our research and development expenses will constitute the most substantial part of our expenses in future periods in line with the advance and expansion of the development of our product candidates. Due to our accelerated efforts to develop our first-generation backbone COVID-19 vaccine candidate, CVnCoV, we incurred research and development expenses that significantly exceeded our historical levels of research and developments expenses. Additionally, our October 2021 notification to the European Commission, or EC, of the withdrawal of our regulatory approval application for CVnCoV resulted in our recognition of several expenses, which have contributed to our increased expense levels, but which we do not expect to recur in future periods. In April 2021, we entered into a collaboration agreement with GSK for the development of a broad COVID-19 vaccine program based on our second-generation backbone. CV2CoV, a non-chemically modified mRNA, encoding the prefusion stabilized full-length spike protein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, and formulated within LNPs, is the first representative of our COVID-19 vaccine program based on the second-generation backbone and presently in the Phase 1 clinical trial, as announced on March 30, 2022. Within this COVID-19 vaccine program, we plan to extend our technology platform also to chemically modified mRNA constructs to allow for data-driven selection of the best candidate. We expect to incur significant expenses related to such second-generation backbone vaccine candidates. But, as we and GSK agreed to equally share the development costs for GSK COVID Products, our current level of research and development expenses will not continue to increase in the level as it did from 2020 to 2021. We expect research and development costs to increase significantly for the foreseeable future as our current development programs progress and new programs are added.

We have historically funded the research and development expenses primarily through public offerings of our common stock, private placements of equity securities, convertible loans, grants from government agencies and similar bodies and payments for collaborative research and development services with strategic partners. In addition, we signed an advance purchase agreement, or APA, with the EC that provided substantial support for our efforts to advance our first-generation backbone vaccine candidate, CVnCoV. In October 2021, we notified the European Commission of the withdrawal of our regulatory approval application for CVnCoV, which automatically terminated the APA.

Our and Our Collaborators’ Ability to Commercialize Our Product Candidates

Our ability to generate revenue from our product candidates depends on our and our collaborators’ ability to successfully advance clinical trials for our product candidates and receive regulatory approval, particularly in the United States, Europe, and other major markets.

We believe that our broad portfolio of product candidates with both novel and validated targets enhances the likelihood that our research and development efforts will yield successful product candidates. Nonetheless, we cannot be certain if any of our product candidates will receive regulatory approvals. Even if such approvals are granted, we will thereafter need to maintain manufacturing and supply arrangements and engage in extensive marketing prior to generating any revenue from such products, and the ultimate commercial success of our products will depend on their acceptance by patients, the medical community and third-party payors and their ability to compete effectively with other therapies on the market.

The competitive environment is also an important factor with the commercial success of our product candidates, and our ability to successfully commercialize a product candidate will depend on whether there are competing product candidates being developed or already marketed by other companies.

We currently do not have any product candidates that have received regulatory approval. As such, we have not incurred any material commercialization expenses in connection with an approved product candidate. In February 2021, we initiated a rolling submission for our first generation COVID-19 vaccine candidate, CVnCoV, with the EMA, which was designed to allow the EMA to assess CVnCoV’s compliance with standards for vaccine efficacy, safety and pharmaceutical quality as a prerequisite for a formal market authorization application. Later in 2021, EMA informed us that the EMA would not start reviewing our submission for CVnCoV before the beginning of 2022. As a result, we estimated that the earliest possible approval of CVnCoV would come in the second quarter of 2022. Data on the efficacy of CVnCoV was generated and published in June 2021. This efficacy data did not live up to our pre-trial expectations and fell behind the efficacy of competing COVID-19 vaccine products. The application for the marketing authorization for CVnCoV was withdrawn in early October 2021, as a necessary reaction to the efficacy data as well as the concerns and uncertainties resulting from such data on the granting of a marketing authorization and the expected concerns of prescribers and patients about using a COVID-19 vaccine with a lower efficacy compared to the vaccines already available on the market. After the withdrawal of the application for a marketing authorization for CVnCoV, we have focused our efforts on second-generation mRNA vaccines. The decision is aligned with the evolving dynamics of the pandemic response toward greater need for differentiated vaccines with the gradual transition from an acute pandemic to an endemic SARS-CoV-2 environment. In connection with the regulatory approval process, and in preparation for the commercialization of a second-generation COVID-19 vaccine, we expect our expenses related to commercialization to significantly decrease in the short-term due to our past commercialization efforts for CVnCoV. However, we expect that our expenses related to commercialization will significantly increase in the long term if a second-generation COVID-19 vaccine candidate reaches late clinical stages, but we expect that this increase in expenses will be mitigated by the GSK COVID Agreement, as described below. As part of the commercialization process of CVnCoV, we also entered into strategic partnerships with Bayer for the development, production and distribution of CVnCoV. In addition, pursuant to a preliminary agreement regarding the secondary manufacturing of CVnCoV we entered into with GSK, GSK would have supported the secondary manufacturing of up to 100 million doses of CVnCoV in 2021. Additionally, we also set up an integrated European manufacturing and supply network. After our decision to withdraw CVnCoV from the regulatory approval process, we have restructured this network to focus our efforts on the second-generation mRNA vaccine.

Our Collaborations, Related License Agreements and Advance Purchase Agreements

Our results of operations have been, and we expect them to continue to be, affected by our contractual collaborations with third parties for the development and commercialization of certain of our product candidates. In addition, our future results of operation may be affected by future advance purchase agreements for our COVID-19 vaccine candidates. To date, our revenues have been recognized pursuant to license and collaboration agreements, which include upfront payments for licenses or options to obtain licenses, milestone payments, payments for product sales and payments for research and development services. Grants from government agencies or similar bodies are recognized as other operating income or as a reduction to depreciation and amortization expense recognized from assets purchased under the associated arrangements.

We have entered into strategic collaborations and license agreements with third parties. In addition, on November 30, 2020, we entered into an advance purchase agreement, or APA, with the European Commission, or EC, which provided for the advance purchase by the commission of our first-generation vaccine candidate, CVnCoV. In October 2021, we notified the EC of the withdrawal of our regulatory approval application for CVnCoV, which automatically terminated the APA. As part of our business development strategy, we aim to increase the number of our strategic collaborations in order to derive further value from our platform and more fully exploit the potential of our collaboration and license agreements.

Certain key terms of our current material collaboration and license agreements are summarized below.

GlaxoSmithKline

In July 2020, we entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement with GSK, which we refer to as the 2020 GSK Agreement, pursuant to which we are collaborating with GSK to research, develop and commercialize prophylactic and therapeutic non-replicating mRNA-based vaccines and antibodies targeting infectious disease pathogens. The 2020 GSK Agreement was amended and restated in April 2021, September 2021, February 2022 and March 2022.

Under the 2020 GSK Agreement, we granted GSK an exclusive option to add additional products in the field of infectious diseases to the license granted under the 2020 GSK Agreement and, upon each exercise of such option, GSK is required to compensate us for certain development costs and pay any accrued milestone payments. Additionally, GSK has the right to replace products licensed under the 2020 GSK Agreement and, if the replacement product was already under development by us, GSK must compensate us for certain development costs and pay any accrued milestone payments. We are additionally eligible to receive tiered royalty payments ranging from single-digit to low-teens percentages on net sales, subject to certain customary reductions. GSK is required to compensate us for certain development and regulatory costs we may incur in connection with performing our obligations under the 2020 GSK Agreement, and we are eligible to receive up to €20,000 in reimbursements for expenses incurred by recording or registering the licenses granted under the 2020 GSK Agreement. We retain the right to commercialize products developed under the 2020 GSK Agreement in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, as GSK’s exclusive distributor in these markets. Under any such distribution agreement to be entered into between us and GSK, we will be required to purchase supply from GSK and pay GSK a low thirties percentage royalty on net sales. Pursuant to the amendment in September 2021, we and GSK are required to complete certain development activities set forth in updated development plans. We and GSK agree to decide whether the products required for clinical studies will be manufactured by us, GSK or jointly.

Additionally, in April 2021, we entered into a new collaboration agreement with GSK, which we refer to as the GSK COVID Agreement, pursuant to which we are collaborating with GSK to research, develop and manufacture next-generation mRNA vaccines targeting the original SARS-CoV-2 strain as well as emerging variants, including multivalent and monovalent approaches, such as our second-generation COVID 19 vaccine candidates, CV0601 and CV0701. These vaccine candidates may either be used to protect unvaccinated individuals or to serve as boosters in the event that SARS-CoV-2 immunity gained from an initial vaccination reduces over time. The GSK COVID Agreement was amended and restated in September 2021, February 2022 and March 2022, and further amended to update the research and development plan in August 2022. Pursuant to the amendment in September 2021, we and GSK are required to complete certain development activities with respect to the GSK COVID Products set forth in updated development plans. We and GSK agree to decide whether the GSK COVID Products required for clinical studies will be manufactured by us, GSK or jointly.

Under the GSK COVID Agreement, GSK paid us an upfront payment of €75 million. We and GSK agreed to equally share all development costs for GSK COVID Products, subject to certain exceptions. We and GSK will share all net profits generated from sales of GSK COVID Products, other than Combination Products (as defined therein), under profit sharing arrangements that in certain cases vary depending upon the GSK COVID Product in question, the time of sale, the number of doses sold and the party to whom the sale is made. We are eligible to receive tiered royalty payments

ranging from sub-teen to mid-teen percentages on net sales of Combination Products, subject to certain customary reductions. Under the GSK COVID Agreement we have the right to commercialize GSK COVID Products in Austria, Germany and Switzerland and if we exercise such right, our sales of GSK COVID Products, other than Combination Products will be subject to the profit share and we will be required to pay GSK a high-teen percentage royalty on net sales of all Combination Products in such countries.

Genmab

In December 2019, we entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement, which we refer to as the Genmab Agreement, with Genmab to research and develop up to four potential differentiated mRNA-based antibody products, to be selected by Genmab, based on the combination of our proprietary RNAntibody technology with Genmab’s proprietary antibody technology for the treatment of human diseases. We collaborated on research to identify an initial product candidate designed to express a certain Genmab proprietary antibody, and we contributed a portion of the overall costs for the development of such product candidate. In June 2023, Genmab notified us of its intent to terminate the Genmab First Program under the Genmab Agreement effective in September 2023. Such termination did not terminate the Genmab Agreement in its entirety, but rather only with respect to certain license and exclusivity provisions related to the Genmab First Program. Under the Genmab Agreement, we further grant Genmab a license for the preclinical development of up to four additional mRNA antibody product concepts and options to obtain commercial licenses under our mRNA technology to develop, manufacture and commercialize product candidates for up to three of such product concepts.

Under the terms of the Genmab Agreement, Genmab paid us a $10 million upfront fee and made a €20 million equity investment in March 2020. Genmab is additionally required to pay us up to $30 million in option exercise fees. If Genmab exercises any of its options to obtain commercial licenses for the additional mRNA antibody concepts, Genmab would fund all research and would develop and commercialize any resulting product candidates. We are additionally eligible to receive up to between $25 million and $43 million in development milestone payments, $100 million and $125 million in regulatory milestone payments and $150 million and $200 million in commercial milestone payments for each product, depending on the specific product concept. In addition, we are eligible to receive a mid single-digit to low teens percentage tiered royalty on aggregate net sales of licensed products, on a per-product basis and subject to certain customary reductions. We retain an option to participate in development and commercialization of one of the potential additional mRNA antibody product concepts under predefined terms and conditions. In the event we exercise such right, we must pay Genmab a one-time payment of $3 million and refund any option fee paid by Genmab with respect to such product. As of March 31, 2024, we have received $1 million in development cost reimbursements and we have not received any reservation, product selection, option exercise or sublicense fees or milestone or royalty payments.

Arcturus

In January 2018, we entered into a Development and Option Agreement, which we refer to as the Arcturus Agreement, with Arcturus, which provided us with access to Arcturus LNP formulation technology which we used in combination with our mRNA technology.

As of March 31, 2024, we made payments totaling $5.6 million to Arcturus reimbursing Arcturus for development costs and in connection with our FTE funding obligations.

Acuitas

In April 2016, we entered into a Development and Option Agreement, which as amended we refer to as the Acuitas Agreement, with Acuitas, which provides us with access to Acuitas LNP formulation technology that we use in combination with our mRNA technology. We are required to pay Acuitas annual target reservation and maintenance fees of up to $1.4 million if we reserve the maximum number of targets permitted under the Acuitas Agreement and to reimburse Acuitas for certain costs incurred in connection with development activities and certain FTE costs. We are additionally required to pay an option exercise fee ranging from $50,000 to $2 million upon each exercise of our option to obtain a license for further development and commercialization with respect to a selected target, subject to certain additional fees ranging from $10,000 to $200,000 for the exercise of our option for certain other vaccine targets. We paid Acuitas a $5 million upfront fee in connection with an amendment to the Acuitas Agreement dated July 2020 and, upon each exercise of our option to exchange a vaccine target licensed under any non-exclusive license, we are required

to pay an exchange fee of $3 million. We additionally paid Acuitas a $3 million upfront fee in connection with an amendment to the Acuitas Agreement dated December 2020 and paid two annual payments of an additional $250,000 per option to extend certain options. Under each license agreement in connection with our exercise of our option, we will additionally be required to make low single-digit percentage tiered royalty payments and must pay up to between $1.1 million and $9 million in development milestone payments, $1.3 million and $7 million in regulatory milestone payments and $1.3 million and $7 million in commercial milestone payments, depending on whether the license is exclusive or non-exclusive and the number of options exercised to date. As of March 31, 2024, we have exercised our option to obtain a non-exclusive license to 20 targets, subject to customary closing conditions. As of March 31, 2024, we have paid Acuitas $9.8 million in reservation and option exercise fees, $0.6 million in license maintenance fees and $1.75 million for certain options not yet exercised and have made payments totaling $9.1 million reimbursing Acuitas for development costs and LNP batches and in connection with our FTE funding obligations.

For each option that we have exercised under the Acuitas Agreement, we have entered into a non-exclusive license agreement with Acuitas with respect to such optioned target, all based on the same form agreement, which we refer to as the Acuitas License Agreements. We are required to pay Acuitas up to between $1.1 million and $1.6 million in development milestone payments, $1.3 million and $1.8 million in regulatory milestone payments and between $1.3 million and $1.8 million in commercial milestone payments under each Acuitas License Agreement.

Additionally, as of March 31, 2024, we have received payments from CRISPR Therapeutics for certain amounts under the agreement in connection with the second amendment, which confirmed the parties’ intention to stop work on two programs under the CRISPR Therapeutics Agreement and added three new programs.

Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation

In May 2014, we were awarded a contract from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation for the development of a vaccine for rotaviruses, as amended in November 2020, for up to $3.0 million in funding. As of March 31, 2024, we have received $3.0 million in funding under the agreement. In March 2015, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation made an equity investment of $40 million to support continued development of our RNA technology platform and the construction of an industrial-scale cGMP production facility. We entered into a Global Access Commitments Agreement with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in February 2015 pursuant to which we are required to take certain actions to support the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation mission. In connection with the investment by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, we are required to conduct development activities for up to three concurrent projects to be proposed by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The costs of such projects will be allocated on a project-by-project basis in proportion to the allocation of the expected benefits.

In November 2016, in connection with the Global Access Commitments Agreement, we were awarded a grant for up to $0.9 million in funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation for the development of a vaccine for picornaviruses. As of March 31, 2024, we have received $0.7 million in funding under the picornaviruses grant agreement. The term of the picornavirus grant expired in June 2022; however, our global access commitments survive. Following the completion of the project, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation requested a reimbursement for unspent funds. As of March 31, 2024, we have paid unspent funds of $0.2 million back to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. In November 2017, we were awarded two additional grants each for up to $1.9 million and $1.5 million in funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation for the development of a universal influenza and a malaria vaccine, respectively. By an amendment entered into November 2020, our grant for the development of a malaria vaccine was increased by an additional $0.8 million. As of March 31, 2024, we have received $1.9 million and $2.2 million, respectively, in funding under each grant agreement. The malaria grant agreement expired in December 2022 and the universal influenza grant agreement expired in March 2022; however, our global access commitments survive.

Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations

In February 2019, we entered into a framework partnership agreement, which as amended we refer to as the CEPI Agreement, with the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness, or CEPI, to develop our RNA Printer using certain intellectual property controlled by us covering the development and manufacture of mRNA products, as well as certain additional intellectual property licensed to us. In connection with the CEPI Agreement we have entered into work orders for the preclinical development of a Lassa virus vaccine, a yellow fever vaccine and our rabies virus vaccine. In addition, we entered into a work package for the preclinical development and a Phase 1 clinical trial for our first-generation COVID-19 vaccine candidate, CVnCoV. The CEPI Agreement terminated in February 2022, except with respect to certain ongoing projects, which are contemplated to be completed in March 2024. CEPI agreed to contribute up to $34 million in funding for projects undertaken under the CEPI Agreement and an additional $15.3 million in connection with development of CVnCoV. As of March 31, 2024, we have received €27.1 million in funding for projects undertaken under the CEPI Agreement. Following the completion of the CEPI Agreement, CEPI requested a partial reimbursement of $1.0 million for unspent funds and as of March 31, 2024, we have paid these unspent funds back to CEPI.

Tesla Automation

In November 2015, we entered into a development and intellectual property agreement with Tesla Automation, formerly trading under the name of Tesla Grohmann Automation, which we refer to as the Tesla Automation Agreement, pursuant to which Tesla Automation agreed to design, develop and manufacture certain automated manufacturing machines on our behalf. We are obligated to pay Tesla Automation a fee for each machine delivered by Tesla Automation and up to $50 million to $60 million in commercial milestone payments as well as certain development costs under each associated work order. As of March 31, 2024, we have paid Tesla Automation €22 million to €23 million in development costs under various work orders, and we have not paid any fees for machines provided under the Tesla Automation Agreement or made any milestone payments.

Research and Option Agreement with myNEO

On May 12, 2022, we entered into a Research and Option Agreement (“R&O”) with myNEO, pursuant to which, as amended in January 2023, we will both collaborate to identify specific antigens found on the surface of tumors for the development of novel mRNA immunotherapies. To achieve this goal, myNEO will leverage its biological datasets, its integrated machine learning and bioinformatics platform to identify and validate specific antigen targets predicted to elicit a strong immune response. Under the R&O, we aim to develop and commercialize at least two new medicinal products for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer and melanoma (the “Main Indications”) and potentially other indications. We are required to use commercially reasonable efforts to develop at least one product for each of the Main Indications, to file marketing approval applications for such products and commercialize such products in at least one of certain countries. Under the R&O, myNEO will own all intellectual property rights generated solely by myNEO or jointly with us during the first three phases of the R&D plan (the “R&D Project IP”). We receive a non-exclusive, royalty-free, non-assignable, sublicensable, worldwide license under certain patents and know-how owned by myNEO and R&D Project IP to the extent required to perform our research and development obligations under the agreement until the completion of a certain phase of the R&D plan. We were also granted an exclusive option to acquire all of myNEO’s rights under certain R&D Project IP relating to certain target lists, which we exercised on April 12, 2023. myNEO receives a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual license back to such IP to make, use or sell certain targets in the field of patient-specific vaccines. Under the R&O, myNEO agrees to work exclusively with us to develop and validate shared antigens for the Main Indications until the earlier of the date of the first phase I clinical trial for either Main Indication or 24 months after we exercised our option. On October 9, 2023, we notified myNEO that we reached a research and development milestone where we selected four antigens for further development, which we intend to use in a clinical candidate for the indication head and neck squamous-cell carcinoma, which is an indication other than the Main Indication.

Under the R&O, we paid myNEO an upfront one-time technology access fee of €138,000 and myNEO is eligible to receive up to €17.5 million in research and development milestone payments with respect to the Main Indications, up to €175,000 in research and development milestone payments with respect to indications other than the Main Indications, up to €30 million in commercial milestone payments with respect to the Main Indications and up to €7.5 million in commercial milestone payments with respect to indications other than the Main Indications, as well as low single-digit percentage royalties on the net sales of licensed products in the Main Indications and sub single-digit percentage royalties on the net sales of licensed products for indications other than the Main Indications. Our royalty obligations continue on a product-by-product and country-by-country basis until the earlier of the date when there are no valid patent claims covering such licensed product in such country and 10 years following the date of first commercial sale of such licensed product in such country.

Financial Operations Overview

Revenue

To date, our revenues have consisted of up-front licensing payments, milestone payments, product sales and compensation for research and development services, all of which relate to our license and collaboration agreements. Certain of these payments are initially recorded on our statement of financial position and are subsequently recognized as revenue in accordance with our accounting policy as described further in note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales consists primarily of personnel costs, costs for materials and third-party services, including any relating to written-off inventory, as well as maintenance and lease costs, and depreciation and amortization. Costs of sales includes costs of product sales, idle production costs and costs from set-up and quality assurance activities for our production processes, including those relating to pharmaceutical products which are under development in our collaboration agreements and for which we have not yet generated revenues. See “Research and Development Expenses” below for additional information on recognition of costs relating to pre-launch products.

Selling and Distribution Expenses

Selling and distribution expenses primarily consist of personnel expenses which include salary and salary-related expenses and expenses from share-based compensation.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses consist primarily of costs incurred for our research and preclinical and clinical development activities, including our product discovery efforts and certain activities relating to the design of GMP-manufacturing facilities. Research and development expenses contain wages and salaries, share-based compensation, fringe benefits and other personnel costs, the costs of clinical testing and the associated clinical production costs, research material production costs, fees for contractual partners, consultants and other third parties, fees to register legal rights, amortization of licensed software and intellectual property as well as costs for plant and facilities. Research and development expenses contain costs for independent research and development work as well as work carried out in the context of collaboration and licensing agreements; such expenses include all costs related to research and development services delivered under our collaboration arrangements. Additionally, prior to initial regulatory approval, if any, costs relating to production of products are expensed as research and development expenses in the period incurred. If pre-launch products are sold, the respective product gross margin may be higher compared to the expected recurring margin as the underlying costs will not be included in cost of sales as they will have been recognized in research and development expense in the period incurred.

We expense research and development expenses as incurred. We recognize costs for certain development activities, such as preclinical studies and clinical trials, based on an evaluation of the progress to completion of specific tasks. We use information provided to us by our vendors such as patient enrollment or clinical site activations for services received and efforts expended. We expect research and development costs to increase significantly for the foreseeable future as our current development programs progress and new programs are added.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses generally include wages and salaries, share-based compensation, fringe benefits and other personnel costs of our senior management and administrative personnel, costs for professional services, including legal, audit and consulting services and costs of facilities and office expenses.

We expect that our research and development expenses will constitute the most substantial part of our expenses in future periods in line with the advance and expansion of the development of our product candidates.

Considering that, our research and development expenses primarily relate to the following key programs:

· For SARS-CoV-2, we are developing our modified mRNA vaccine candidates CV0601 (monovalent) and CV0701 (bivalent) in collaboration with GSK. While CV0601, encodes the Omicron BA.4-5 variant; CV0701, encodes the Omicron BA.4-5 variant as well as the original SARS-CoV-2 virus. Both candidates are currently being tested in a Phase 2 study, comparing both candidates to a licensed bivalent mRNA-based COVID-19 comparator vaccine initiated on August 1, 2023. Positive data from a formal interim analysis were announced on January 5, 2024. Both vaccine candidates, CV0601 and CV0701, apply CureVac’s proprietary second-generation mRNA backbone. The decrease quarter over quarter is primarily due to the reimbursement from GSK on the development costs incurred by CureVac related to CV2CoV, or GSK II. Since the first €100.0 million on development costs of GSK II was achieved in August 2023, CureVac recognized GSK’s reimbursement on GSK II as an offset against research and development expense.

· In our oncology therapeutic area, we are working on novel cancer vaccine candidates based on differentiated antigen discovery technologies and bioinformatics to target antigens that are overexpressed in tumor tissues with no or little expression in healthy tissues. Within this strategy, we are following two approaches: (1) the development of off-the-shelf cancer vaccines based on tumor antigens shared across different cancer indications and (2) the development of fully personalized cancer vaccines based on a patient’s individual tumor genomic profile. We plan to advance new antigens for both approaches based on our second-generation mRNA backbone.

· Our oncology program, CVGBM, is a single mRNA construct based on our second-generation mRNA backbone, encoding eight epitopes from known tumor associated antigens with demonstrated relevance in glioblastoma. It is currently being tested in a Phase 1 study to assess safety and tolerability as a monotherapy in patients with newly diagnosed and surgically resected MGMT-unmethylated glioblastoma or astrocytoma with a molecular signature of glioblastoma. The study consists of two parts, a dose-escalation part (Part A) and a dose-expansion part (Part B). In the currently ongoing Part A, patients receive a total of seven intramuscular administrations of CVGBM at escalating doses in the range of 12µg to 100µg.

· Our oncology program, CV8102, has completed a Phase 1 dose escalating clinical trial for four types of solid tumors as a monotherapy and in combination with anti-PD-1 and an expansion of the Phase 1 study to confirm the safety, tolerability and efficacy of CV8102 at a 600μg dose. In the context of our strategic focus on the development of novel mRNA-based cancer vaccines, current and upcoming clinical developments will provide

the basis for any potential integration of CV8102 into this priority program as a strong immune-modulatory adjunct. Clinical development of CV8102 will only be considered in combination with a defined mRNA cancer vaccine.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses were €19.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, representing a decrease of €4.2 million, or 18%, from €23.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to (i) share-based payment expense was lower compared to prior year period and (ii) lower workforce in the Board of Management as well as in the corporate service functions.

Other operating income was €4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, representing an increase of €2.1 million, or 106%, from €2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to sale of materials to GSK.

Other Operating Expense

Other operating expense was €0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, representing a decrease of €0.3 million, or 53%, from €0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Other operating expense related primarily to compensation expense of our Supervisory Board.

Finance Income

Finance income was €3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, representing a decrease of €0.1 million, or 3%, from €3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and relates mainly to positive interest on cash investments.

Finance Expenses

Finance expenses were €0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, representing a decrease of €0.7 million, or 64%, from €1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to prior year period impacted by foreign exchange losses.

Income Tax (Expense)

An income tax expense of €666 thousand was generated for the three months ended March 31, 2024, representing an increase of €665.5 thousand, from an income tax expense of €0.5 thousand generated for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase to an expense was primarily attributable to deferred tax expenses by CureVac Corporate Services GmbH.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our financial condition and liquidity are and will continue to be influenced by a variety of factors, including:

· our ability to generate cash flows from our operations;

· future indebtedness and the interest we are obligated to pay on this indebtedness;

· the availability of public and private debt and equity financing;

· changes in exchange rates which will impact our generation of cash flows from operations when measured in euros; and

· our capital expenditure requirements.

Overview

Since inception, we have incurred significant operating losses. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2024, we incurred net losses of €57.4 million and €70.6 million, respectively. To date, we have financed our operations primarily through the IPO in August 2020, the public offering in February 2021, private placements of equity securities, issuance of convertible debt, grants from government agencies and similar bodies and payments for collaborative research and development services. Our cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2024 were €300.2 million. Our primary cash needs are to fund our non-clinical and clinical development programs, for working capital requirements and for capital expenditures. We believe our existing cash, cash equivalents, borrowings available to us, receipts from grants and short-term investments will enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements at least through the fourth quarter of 2025. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could exhaust our available capital resources sooner than we expect.

In February 2023, we sold an additional 27,027,028 common shares in an underwritten public offering at an offering price of $9.25 per share raising $234.2 million in net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by us.

In September 2021, we entered into a sales agreement, the Open Sale Agreement, with Jefferies LLC and SVB Securities LLC, as sales agents, to establish an at-the-market offering program (“ATM Program”), relating to the sale, from time to time, of our common shares. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we did not issue any common shares through the ATM Program.

Comparative Cash Flows

Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2024

The following table summarizes our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the periods indicated:

	For the Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2023	2024
	(in thousands of euros)
	(unaudited)
Net cash flow from (used in):

Investing activities	(13,162)	(5,088)
Financing activities	234,709	(1,124)
Effect of currency translation gains on cash and cash equivalents	(239)	466
Overall cash inflow	121,722	(102,300)

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was €96.6 million as compared to net cash used in operating activities of €99.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in net cash in operating activities was primarily attributable to less payments for third party services and raw material suppliers.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was €5.1 million as compared to net cash used in investing activities of €13.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The change in cash flows from investing activities was primarily attributable to decreased purchases of property, plant and equipment for manufacturing facilities and intangible assets.

Financing Activities

Net cash used by financing activities was €1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to cash provided by financing activities of €234.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in cash flow used by financing activities was mainly attributable to prior year impacted by the raising of cash in the follow-on underwritten public offering conducted in February 2023.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources, except for those noncancellable contractual obligations from certain of our arrangements with contract manufacturing organizations disclosed in “Liquidity and Capital Resources” and “Contractual Obligations and Commitments.”

Safe Harbor

See “Forward-Looking Statements.”

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, or the IFRS, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, or IASB. Some of the accounting methods and policies used in preparing the financial statements under IFRS are based on complex and subjective assessments by our management or on estimates based on past experience and assumptions deemed realistic and reasonable based on the circumstances concerned. The actual value of our assets, liabilities and shareholders’ equity and of our earnings could differ from the value derived from these estimates if conditions changed and these changes had an impact on the assumptions adopted.

Our significant accounting policies that we believe to be critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements are included in “note 2 — Significant accounting policies” and “note 10 — Share-based payments” to our consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

We have applied, in our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, new standards and amendments as issued by IASB and that are mandatory as of January 1, 2023. See note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report.

	EUR k	EUR k
Belgium
GSK	6,473	8,895
Switzerland
CRISPR	209	3,478
Netherlands
Genmab	447	—
Total	7,129	12,373

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized revenues over-time (i) EUR 7,692k (March 31, 2023: EUR 4,148k) related to delivery of research and development services combined with an IP license (recognized from the upfront payments and achievement of certain milestones as further illustrated in the table below) and (ii) EUR 2,741k (March 31, 2023: EUR 2,849k) from those research and development services considered distinct within the agreements and recognized revenues at point-in-time (iii) EUR 1,940k (March 31, 2023: EUR 132k) related to delivery of products.

Of the total revenues recognized, in the three months ended March 31, 2024, EUR 8,895k in revenue was recognized under the collaboration agreements with GSK, entered into in July 2020, for the research, development, manufacturing and commercialization of mRNA-based vaccines and monoclonal antibodies targeting infectious disease pathogens (“GSK I”) and in April 2021 for research, development and manufacturing of next-generation mRNA vaccines targeting the original SARS-CoV-2 strain as well as emerging variants, including multivalent and monovalent approaches, such as the CureVac’s second-generation COVID-19 vaccine candidate, CV2CoV (“GSK II”). The upfront payment, attributable to research and development services combined with an IP license, and each development milestones reached, are recognized straight-line from the effective date of the collaboration agreement through to the agreed estimated submission date for authority approval, which represents the period of time during which CureVac is responsible for development as, subsequent to this period, GSK will be responsible for further development and commercialization. In the three months ended March 31, 2023, revenue consisted of EUR 6,473k primarily recognized from the upfront payments under both collaboration agreements with GSK.

The Group has received upfront and milestone payments which were initially deferred and are subsequently recognized as revenue as the Group renders services over the performance period. Below is a summary of such payments and the related revenues recognized:

3.2 Cost of sales

The cost of sales consists of the following:

	Three months ended March 31,
	2023	2024
	EUR k	EUR k
Personnel	(8,188)	(12,395)

Amortization and depreciation	(1,170)	(1,028)
Other	(710)	(333)
Total	(20,634)	(41,690)

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, cost of sales increased in comparison to corresponding period in 2023. This increase was primarily attributable to the increase of the CMO provision (refer to Note 12 for further information) and higher personnel expenses related to the voluntary leaver program initiated in March 2024.

3.3 Selling and distribution expenses

Selling and distribution expenses consist of the following:

	Three months ended March 31,

3.4 Research and development expenses

R&D expenses consists of the following:

	Three months ended March 31,

Third-party services	(4,692)	(4,684)
Maintenance and lease	(1,766)	(2,021)
Other	(684)	(201)
Total	(24,251)	(27,825)

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, research and development expenses increased in comparison to the same period of 2023 due to increased expenses related to the IP litigations.

The decrease in personnel expense quarter over quarter is primarily due to the reimbursement from GSK on the development costs incurred by CureVac related to CV2CoV, or GSK II. Since the first EUR 100,000k on development costs of GSK II was achieved in August 2023, CureVac recognized GSK’s reimbursement on GSK II as an offset against research and development expenses.

As of March 31, 2024, the Group had no development expenditures which met the requirements for capitalization and thus none have been capitalized.

3.5 General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses consist of the following:

	Three months ended March 31,

Amortization and depreciation	(3,106)	(2,231)
Other	(1,152)	(553)

Personnel expenses decreased due to (i) share-based payment expense was lower compared to prior year period (refer to Note 5 for further details) and (ii) lower workforce in the Board of Management as well as in the corporate service functions.

Others include mainly expenses for D&O insurance and allocations.

Earnings per share

15. Earnings per share

Earnings per share is calculated pursuant to IAS 33 Earnings per Share by dividing the consolidated net loss in CureVac N.V. by the average weighted number of shares outstanding in the fiscal period.

The weighted number of shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2024, was 224,291,745 (March 31, 2023: 211,444,899). This has led to a basic loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, of EUR 0.31 and 0.27.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated using CureVac’s weighted-average outstanding common shares including the dilutive effect of share-based payment awards as determined under the treasury stock method. In periods when CureVac has a net loss, share-based payment awards are excluded from the calculation of earnings per share as their inclusion would have an antidilutive effect. Share options and RSUs of 1,413,112 and 1,055,985 as of March 31, 2024, and 2023 respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average number of shares because their effect would have been antidilutive.

The collaboration creates strong synergies between CureVac’s unique end-to-end capabilities for cancer antigen discovery, mRNA design, and manufacturing and MD Anderson’s expertise in cancer antigen discovery and validation, translational drug development, and clinical research. The collaboration will focus on the development of differentiated cancer vaccine candidates in selected hematological and solid tumor indications with high unmet medical need. Both parties will contribute to the identification of differentiated cancer antigens based on whole genome sequencing, combined with long- and short-read RNA sequencing and cutting-edge bioinformatics followed by joint preclinical validation of the highest-quality cancer antigens and selection of the most promising clinical-lead candidates for conducting initial Phase 1/2 studies in appropriate clinical indications.

In April 2024, the Company announced the start of the Phase 1 part of a combined Phase 1/2 study of an investigational influenza A (H5N1) pre-pandemic vaccine candidate developed in collaboration with GSK. The H5N1 avian influenza virus is considered a potential future pandemic threat, able to cross species from its original bird host to humans. The monovalent vaccine candidate is based on CureVac’s proprietary second-generation mRNA backbone and encodes an influenza A H5-antigen. Avian influenza represents latest program progressing to clinical trials under broad infectious disease collaboration agreement with GSK. This event triggered a further development milestone and CureVac has invoiced an amount of EUR 5,000k to GSK.
