The German biotechnology company reported lower earnings and revenue for the second quarter but said that it expects vaccine demand in important markets to pick up in the final quarter of the year. The shot, which is still pending regulatory approval, has been adapted for the Omicron variant of Covid-19. BioNTech reported profit of EUR1.67 billion in the second quarter, down from EUR2.79 billion the previous year, on revenue which fell to EUR3.2 billion from EUR5.31 billion in the same quarter a year prior.
