Notes to the consolidated financial statements | 3. Notes to the consolidated financial statements 3.1 Revenue from contract with customers The Group recognized the following revenues: Nine months ended September 30 2021 2022 EUR k EUR k Belgium GSK 49,621 52,746 Germany Boehringer Ingelheim 9,990 — Switzerland CRISPR 831 1,646 Netherlands Genmab 1,323 1,339 Total 61,765 55,731 Of these revenues, all of which were recognized over time as part of collaboration agreements, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 EUR 40,278k (September 30, 2021: EUR 49,878k) related to (i) delivery of research services combined with an IP license (recognized from the upfront payments as further illustrated in the table below) and the reaching of a milestone, (ii) EUR 1,413k (September 30, 2021: EUR 1,400k) related to delivery of products and (iii) EUR 14,040k (September 30, 2021: EUR 10,489k) were recognized from those research and development services considered distinct within the agreements. Of the total revenues recognized, in the nine months ended September 30, 2022, EUR 52,746k in revenue was recognized under the collaboration agreements with GSK, entered into in July 2020, for the research, development, manufacturing and commercialization of mRNA-based vaccines and monoclonal antibodies targeting infectious disease pathogens (“GSK I”) and in April 2021 for research, development and manufacturing of next-generation mRNA vaccines targeting the original SARS-CoV-2 strain as well as emerging variants, including multivalent and monovalent approaches, such as CureVac’s second-generation COVID-19 vaccine candidate, CV2CoV (“GSK II”). In the first quarter of 2022, the Company reached a development milestone of EUR 10,000k under the GSK I collaboration. Therefore, revenue for the nine months ending September 30, 2022, also includes recognition of EUR 5,789k of the milestone amount. The remaining EUR 4,211k of the milestone amount is deferred as contract liability and will be recognized into revenue through the estimated completion date of Phase 1 clinical trials, which represents the period of time during which CureVac is responsible for development as, subsequent to this period, GSK will be responsible for further development and commercialization. In the nine months ended September 30, 2021, revenue from the collaborations with GSK consisted of EUR 49,621k primarily recognized from the amortization of upfront and milestone payments. The Group has received upfront payments which were initially deferred and are subsequently recognized as revenue as the Group renders services over the performance period. Below is a summary of such payments and the related revenues recognized: Upfront and Upfront and Revenue recognized from milestones payments included milestones payments included upfront and milestones payments Upfront and milestone in contract in contract for nine months ended payments liabilities at liabilities at September 30, Customer September 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 September 30, 2022 2021 2022 (EUR k) (EUR k) (EUR k) GSK EUR 205,000k (EUR 10,000k milestone payment included) 135,494 106,788 38,315 38,705 CRISPR USD 3,000k (EUR 2,524k)* 1,239 1,007 232 232 Boehringer Ingelheim EUR 30,000k — — 9,990 — Genmab USD 10,000k (EUR 8,937k)* 5,362 4,022 1,341 1,341 Total 142,095 111,817 49,878 40,278 * Translated at the currency exchange rate prevailing on the transaction date.

The contract liabilities contain upfront payments and milestone payments from Collaboration agreements. 3.2 Cost of sales The cost of sales consists of the following: Nine months ended September 30, 2021 2022 EUR k EUR k Personnel (14,897) (19,076) Materials (13,945) (48,962) Third-party services (130,795) (24,030) Maintenance and lease (3,227) (1,479) Amortization and depreciation (2,944) (9,757) Other (2,369) (688) Total (168,177) (103,992) During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, cost of sales mainly decreased compared to the same period of 2021 due to Third-Party Services having been higher last year for set-up activities for the CVnCoV production process. This decrease was partially offset by increased write-offs for raw materials amounting to EUR 41,295k, which were procured for manufacturing of products to sell to GSK that are now no longer expected to be purchased. 3.3 Selling and distribution expenses Selling and distribution expenses consist of the following: Nine months ended September 30, 2021 2022 EUR k EUR k Personnel (943) (1,467) Amortization and depreciation (65) (38) Other (224) (320) Total (1,232) (1,825) Personnel expenses mainly include salary and salary-related expenses, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 of EUR 1,315k (September 30, 2021: 777k) and share-based payment expense of EUR 152k (September 30, 2021: 166k). 3.4 Research and development expenses R&D expenses consists of the following: Nine months ended September 30, 2021 2022 EUR k EUR k Materials (5,893) (29,618) Personnel (25,209) (24,326) Amortization and depreciation (3,051) (3,866) Patents and fees to register a legal right (2,372) (2,536) Third-party services (246,185) 28,525 Maintenance and lease (291) (789) Other (1,727) (2,324) Total (284,728) (34,934) During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, research and development expenses decreased significantly in comparison to the same period of 2021, as the prior period was largely impacted by the Group´s CVnCoV program in 2021. In the prior year, these expenses consist primarily of cost incurred to CROs involved in the CVnCoV development as well as materials used in the administration of clinical trials. As a result of more participants leaving the clinical trials, prior to completion, than originally estimated and of renegotiations of contracts with CROs, in the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the estimated outstanding costs for the CVnCoV studies decreased, due primarily to re-negotiations of contracts, and resulted in the reversal of provision for onerous contracts in the amount of EUR 36,769k. Additionally, a net gain for a change of estimate in the contract termination provisions resulted primarily from GSK taking over, from the Group, committed capacity at Novartis (see Note 3.6 for additional information). The net effect of these two events resulted in an overall gain within the Third-party services category. Further, in the nine months ended on September 30, 2022, the balance was impacted by an increase in material consumed in research and development. As of September 30, 2022, the Group had no development expenditures which met the requirements for capitalization and thus none have been capitalized. In 2021, according to the terms and conditions of the grant from BMBF, the Group earned income (recognized in other operating income) for certain eligible expenses incurred for the COVID-19 vaccine development; refer to Note 3.6 for more information on amounts recognized from this grant in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Personnel expenses mainly include salary and salary-related expenses, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 of EUR 23,846k (September 30, 2021: EUR 24,637k) and share-based payment expense of EUR 480k (September 30, 2021: 572k). 3.5 General and administrative expenses General and administrative expenses consist of the following: Nine months ended September 30, 2021 2022 EUR k EUR k Personnel (30,039) (27,971) Maintenance and lease (2,106) (4,614) Third-party services (28,699) (19,607) Legal and other professional services (6,394) (7,215) Amortization and depreciation (5,575) (9,444) Other (7,974) (9,168) Total (80,787) (78,019) Personnel expenses mainly include salary and salary-related expenses, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, of EUR 21,621k (September 30, 2021: EUR 19,492k) and share-based payment expense of EUR 5,823k (September 30, 2021: EUR 10,547k). During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, third-party services expenses decreased, compared to the same period of 2021, mainly due to less consulting services. The “Other” mainly results from insurance costs related to the D&O insurance EUR 4,150k, (September 30, 2021: EUR 4,073k). 3.6 Other operating income Nine months ended September 30, 2021 2022 EUR k EUR k Compensation for CMO/Material transfer — 34,379 Reimbursement claim — 610 Sale of equipment — 310 Grants and other cost reimbursements from government agencies and similar bodies 64,307 377 Other 2,439 225 Total 66,746 35,901 In March 2022, CureVac AG and GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals SA amended and restated the 2020 GSK agreement and the GSK COVID Agreement in connection with GSK entering into a direct agreement with Novartis for use of Novartis as a CMO at the same time as CureVac exited its CMO agreement with Novartis. Additionally, under the restated agreement, CureVac is entitled to further compensation by GSK. The compensations mainly consist of a consideration for set-up activities undertaken by CureVac (EUR 20,500k) and for reimbursement of prepayments (EUR 12,000k), which were recognized in other operating income in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. As an additional result of this agreement, certain reserved capacity at Novartis was also taken over from the Group by GSK, which resulted in the reversal of provisions of EUR 25,059k which had been recognized as of December 31, 2021, and the recognition of a corresponding gain in research and development expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 (see Note 3.4). During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, income from grants with government agencies and similar bodies resulted from the following: German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) In 2020, the Company received a grant from BMBF to support the development of its COVID-19 vaccine candidate for which it was determined that the arrangement contained two components: a grant component (in the scope of IAS 20) and a supply component (in the scope of IFRS 15). The grant was terminated in 2021. With regard to the grant component, during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Group has recognized grant income in the amount of EUR 64,031k (September 30, 2022: EUR 0). Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) In January 2020, CureVac and CEPI entered into a collaboration to develop a vaccine against the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. The aim of the cooperation is to safely advance vaccine candidates into clinical testing as quickly as possible. The agreement builds upon the existing partnership between CureVac and CEPI to develop a rapid-response vaccine platform and included additional initial funding of up to USD 8,300k. In May 2020, CEPI increased its grant award to the Group for SARS-CoV-2 vaccine development to up to USD 15,300k. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, CureVac recognized the reimbursement by CEPI of approved expenses of EUR 26k (September 30, 2021: EUR 30k) as “other operating income”. As of September 30, 2022, EUR 1,263k in grant funds received have been deferred and are presented within other liabilities (December 31, 2021: EUR 1,288k). Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, CureVac recognized EUR 132k (September 30, 2021: EUR 246k) from the amortization of the grants on a straight-line basis into other operating income. As of September 30, 2022, EUR 1,747k in grant funds received have been deferred and presented within other liabilities (December 31, 2021: EUR 1,879k). |
