CureVac N.V. (CVAC) - Ansoff Matrix: Market Penetration

Market Penetration for CureVac N.V. (CVAC) centers on maximizing revenue from its existing assets and partnerships within current markets, particularly in the prophylactic vaccine space, despite the strategic shift toward oncology.

Increase market share for existing COVID-19 or flu vaccine candidates through aggressive pricing.

• The previous first-generation COVID-19 vaccine candidate (CVnCoV) secured an Advance Purchase Agreement (APA) with the European Commission for up to 405 million doses.
• CureVac received an upfront payment of €450 million under this EU Commission APA for development and commercial supply activities.
• The company's second-generation mRNA backbone supported candidates for seasonal influenza and a COVID-19 combination vaccine, which are now under the full control of GSK following the July 2024 licensing agreement.

Expand current commercial partnerships, like the one with GSK, to cover more European territories.

• The August 2025 first amendment to the GSK license agreement resulted in $50.0 million recognized revenue for CureVac in the third quarter of 2025.
• Under the new licensing agreement structure, GSK holds worldwide commercialization rights for the influenza and COVID-19 programs.
• Revenues recognized with GSK for the first six months of 2025 were €0.5 million, a significant decrease from €17.6 million in the prior-year period, reflecting the shift from a collaboration to a licensing model.

Target higher vaccination rates in existing markets by funding public awareness campaigns.

Negotiate favorable reimbursement rates with national health systems to improve access.

Focus sales efforts on securing large-volume government procurement contracts.

• The European vaccine market is estimated to represent 25.80% of the projected $81.9 Billion global vaccine market revenue for 2025.
• The company maintains a strong cash position of €416.1 million as of September 30, 2025, with an expected cash runway extending into 2028, providing financial flexibility to support strategic initiatives.
• CureVac expects to deliver two or more clinical candidates by the end of 2025, aligning with its refocused strategy post-restructuring.

Here's the quick math on the financial position as of mid-2025:

Metric	Value (as of June 30, 2025)	Period
Cash and Cash Equivalents	€392.7 million	End of Q2 2025
GSK Revenue Recognized	€0.5 million	First Six Months of 2025
GSK License Amendment Payment	$50.0 million	Q3 2025
EU Commission APA Upfront Payment	€450 million	Recognized in 2020/2021
Projected Global Vaccine Market Size	$81.9 Billion	End of 2025 Estimate

The company is definitely focused on pipeline advancement now, but these legacy contract numbers show past penetration success.

Finance: draft 13-week cash view by Friday.

CureVac N.V. (CVAC) - Ansoff Matrix: Market Development

Market Development for CureVac N.V. involves expanding the reach of its existing mRNA platform and clinical-stage products into new territories and patient segments.

The company's financial position as of September 30, 2025, showed cash and cash equivalents totaling €416.1 million, with an expected cash runway extending into 2028.

The progress in the United States market, moving beyond the initial European focus, is evidenced by key regulatory and clinical milestones:

Product/Program	Market/Region	Regulatory/Clinical Status	Date/Timeline
CVHNLC (sqNSCLC immunotherapy)	United States (US)	Investigational New Drug (IND) application cleared by U.S. FDA	April 7, 2025
CVHNLC (sqNSCLC immunotherapy)	United States (US)	Phase 1 clinical study initiation anticipated	H2 2025
CVHNLC (sqNSCLC immunotherapy)	Europe	Clinical Trial Application (CTA) clearance received from EMA	Prior to August 15, 2025
CVGBM (glioblastoma)	United States (US)	Phase 1 Part B enrollment completed	Q1 2025
CVGBM (glioblastoma)	United States (US)	Go/no-go decision for Phase 2 planned	H2 2025
First UTI vaccine candidate	United States (US)	U.S. IND filing planned	H2 2025

The company's Q3 2025 revenues were €54.1 million, representing an 89% year-over-year decrease from Q3 2024, largely due to the absence of a one-time revenue event from a licensing agreement in the prior year period. Revenue from BioNTech for the first nine months of 2025 was €11.1 million.

Regarding expansion into new geographic regions and technology licensing, the following strategic developments are noted, though specific partnership details for emerging markets are not detailed:

• Enter high-growth emerging markets through local manufacturing partnerships: No specific 2025 agreement data is available for Southeast Asia or Latin America.
• License existing mRNA platform technology to new geographic regions for non-core applications: No specific 2025 licensing agreement data is available.
• Establish a direct sales presence in key new markets like Japan and Australia: No specific 2025 direct sales presence data is available.
• Repurpose existing vaccine candidates for new, related patient populations (e.g., pediatric use): The pipeline advancement includes oncology candidates like CVHNLC and CVGBM, and a prophylactic vaccine for urinary tract infection, but no specific pediatric repurposing data is available.

A significant development impacting future market structure is the planned acquisition by BioNTech SE, which is expected to unite the two companies:

• BioNTech entered a definitive Purchase Agreement to acquire all outstanding CureVac N.V. shares.
• CureVac shareholders approved matters relating to the exchange offer with over 99.16% of votes cast in favor on November 25, 2025.
• The offer is set to expire at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on December 3, 2025.
• The exchange ratio is 0.05363 of a BioNTech American Depositary Share (ADS) for each CureVac share.

Finance: draft 13-week cash view by Friday.

CureVac N.V. (CVAC) - Ansoff Matrix: Product Development

You're looking at the core of CureVac N.V.'s future value, which rests entirely on successfully executing this product development roadmap. Honestly, the pivot away from the first-generation COVID-19 vaccine effort has sharpened the focus, and the numbers from the first nine months of 2025 reflect that R&D allocation, with cash and cash equivalents standing at €416.1 million as of September 30, 2025, supporting an expected cash runway into 2028.

Accelerate the development of the next-generation mRNA backbone for improved stability and efficacy.

The proprietary second-generation mRNA backbone has been a key focus, showing strong validation. Interim Phase 2 data for COVID-19 vaccine candidates in early 2024 showed that this backbone produced meaningful immune responses and favorable reactogenicity profiles across all tested doses, including the lowest tested dose. This same backbone is the foundation for the seasonal influenza vaccine program, which demonstrated positive immune responses against influenza A and B strains compared to current standards in Phase 2. The company is also leveraging mRNA design, which includes target-optimized mRNA design for precision.

Introduce a combination vaccine (e.g., COVID-19 and flu) to existing markets, simplifying immunization.

The move toward combination products is tangible. CureVac N.V. and its partner GSK initiated the Phase 1 part of a combined Phase 1/2 study for a seasonal influenza/COVID-19 combination vaccine candidate (NCT06680375) in November 2024. This initiation triggered a €10 million milestone payment for CureVac N.V. in the fourth quarter of 2024. This strategy aims to simplify immunization schedules for existing prophylactic vaccine markets.

Advance the oncology pipeline, moving personalized cancer vaccines into late-stage clinical trials.

The oncology pipeline is seeing significant movement, applying the platform to high-unmet-need tumors using both off-the-shelf and fully personalized approaches. Here's a quick look at the key candidates advancing through the clinic as of mid-2025:

Oncology Candidate	Indication	Key 2025 Milestone Achieved/Expected	Next Step/Status
CVHNLC	Squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (sqNSCLC)	Received EMA CTA clearance and U.S. FDA IND clearance	Patient treatment anticipated to start in the second half of 2025
CVGBM	Glioblastoma	Part B enrollment completed in Q1 2025	Go/no-go decision for Phase 2 planned for H2 2025

The company is applying the ability of mRNA to precisely and safely guide the immune system to one or more tumor antigens. Further discovery work aims to select a second clinical candidate in the oncology therapeutic area in 2026.

Invest in new delivery systems to expand the platform into non-vaccine therapeutic areas like protein replacement.

CureVac N.V. is actively leveraging its end-to-end mRNA capabilities beyond vaccines. This includes developing programs that enable the human body to produce its own therapeutic proteins, which is a core part of the expansion into non-vaccine therapeutic areas. The platform development includes proprietary indication-specific next-generation lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) as part of its Advanced Delivery Systems. Cash used in operations in the first half of 2025 was allocated to further develop CureVac N.V.'s mRNA technology.

Develop a thermostable formulation of current candidates, reducing cold-chain logistics costs.

While specific cost savings from a thermostable formulation aren't quantified yet, the focus on platform optimization is clear. The second-generation backbone is noted for achieving strong immune responses at low doses. Lowering the required dose can inherently reduce the overall volume of material needed per patient, which indirectly lessens the burden on cold-chain logistics, a defintely significant factor in global distribution costs. The company is also advancing a prophylactic vaccine for UPEC, with an IND filing planned for H2 2025 for a Phase 1 study to start in H1 2026.

• Cash used in operations in H1 2025 was mainly for ongoing R&D activities.
• Operating loss for Q1 2025 was €54.7 million, an improvement from €73.3 million in Q1 2024 due to restructuring cost reductions.
• Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, were €56.3 million, a decrease of 89% year-over-year from €520.7 million in the prior period.
• The company is moving forward with its proprietary UPEC program, expecting an IND submission in the second half of 2025.

Finance: finalize the Q4 2025 R&D expense forecast by end of January 2026.

CureVac N.V. (CVAC) - Ansoff Matrix: Diversification

You're looking at how CureVac N.V. can move beyond its core mRNA focus in human vaccines and oncology, which is a smart move when core revenue is shifting. The recent financial data shows just how much the business is being reshaped by strategic realignments, particularly the restructuring of the GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) agreement.

To establish a new business unit focused on non-human applications, like veterinary vaccines or agricultural biotech, you'd be looking at the current scale of the core business to gauge the required investment. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, CureVac N.V. recorded total revenues of €56.3 million, a significant drop from €520.7 million in the same period in 2024. This revenue shift is largely due to the absence of the one-time revenue from the GSK licensing agreement closed in 2024. Any new unit would need to be funded from the existing balance sheet, which held €416.1 million in cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2025.

Acquiring a small-molecule drug company to integrate a complementary, non-mRNA therapeutic modality would be a major capital deployment. The company's cash position of €416.1 million at the end of the third quarter of 2025 provides the financial flexibility for such a move, especially given the reaffirmed cash runway extends into 2028. This contrasts with the operating loss reported for the first nine months of 2025, which stood at €193.7 million, though this was an improvement from €221.4 million in the prior-year period.

Partnering with a diagnostics firm to create a combined mRNA therapeutic and companion diagnostic product leverages existing platform strengths. Revenue from the BioNTech U.S. License Agreement was €11.1 million for the first nine months of 2025, showing an existing revenue stream from a related entity that isn't the primary GSK collaboration. This type of partnership diversifies revenue sources away from the large, one-time payments seen in 2024.

Entering the gene-editing space by adapting the mRNA platform for in vivo delivery of CRISPR components is already partially reflected in partnership revenue. For the nine months ending September 30, 2025, CureVac N.V. recognized €1.8 million in revenue from CRISPR Therapeutics, compared to €12.4 million in the prior-year period. This shows an existing, albeit reduced, financial tie to a technology adjacent to gene editing.

Launching a Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO) service for other biotech firms is a path CureVac N.V. has experience with, though it has been strategically realigned. The prior year period, 2024, was impacted by extraordinary expenses related to an arbitration ruling for Contract Manufacturing Organization (CMO) activities for the first-generation COVID-19 vaccine. Following the strategic restructuring initiated in July 2024, manufacturing-related costs are now recognized as Research and Development (R&D) expenses rather than cost of sales, which affects the direct revenue reporting for such services.

Here's a quick look at the recent financial reality, which informs the scale of any diversification effort:

Financial Metric (EUR)	9 Months Ended Sep 30, 2025	9 Months Ended Sep 30, 2024
Total Revenue	€56.3 million	€520.7 million
Revenue from GSK	€43.3 million	€508.3 million
Revenue from BioNTech	€11.1 million	€0 million
Operating Profit	€193.7 million	€221.4 million
Cash & Equivalents (Period End)	€416.1 million (as of Sep 30, 2025)	€481.7 million (as of Dec 31, 2024)

The current pipeline focus, which represents the core business CureVac N.V. is investing in, is heavily weighted toward oncology and prophylactic vaccines. This existing focus dictates where resources are currently being deployed:

• Advancing CVGBM (glioblastoma) with Phase 1 Part B data expected in H2 2025.
• Advancing CVHNLC (squamous non-small cell lung cancer) with U.S. Phase 1 initiation anticipated in H2 2025.
• Progressing prophylactic vaccine efforts, including a focus on urinary tract infections (UPEC).
• The EMA granted CTA clearance for the off-the-shelf cancer immunotherapy candidate.

To be defintely clear, the BioNTech public exchange offer, announced October 22, 2025, proposes exchanging each CureVac ordinary share for approximately $5.46 in BioNTech American Depository Shares (ADSs), with the offer expiring December 3, 2025. This potential acquisition fundamentally alters the diversification landscape, as the company may soon be integrated into BioNTech.

Finance: finalize the impact analysis of the BioNTech offer on the 2028 cash runway projection by next Tuesday.
