NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1: The Company

Incorporated in 2002 under the laws of France, DBV Technologies S.A. (“DBV Technologies,” or the “Company”, or the “group”) is a
clinical-stage
specialty biopharmaceutical company focused on changing the field of immunotherapy by developing a novel technology platform called Viaskin
. The Company’s therapeutic approach is based on epicutaneous immunotherapy, or EPIT
, a proprietary method of delivering biologically active compounds to the immune system through intact skin using Viaskin
.

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its
wholly-owned
subsidiaries are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and are presented in thousands of U.S. dollars.Dollars, except for share and per share data and as otherwise noted. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated on consolidation.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K
filed with the SEC on March 17, 20219, 2022 (the “Annual Report”). The condensed consolidated statement of financial position at December 31, 20202021 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The Company’s critical accounting policies are detailed in the Annual Report. The Company’s critical accounting policies have not changed materially since December 31, 2020.

2021.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted from these interim financial statements. However, these condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly state the results of the interim period. These interim financial results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2021,2022, or any other future period.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements requires the use of estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of income and expenses during the period. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience and other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. The actual results may differ from these estimates.

On an
on-going
basis, management evaluates its estimates, primarily those related to: (1) evaluation of costs and measure of progress of the development activities conducted as part of the collaboration agreement with Nestlé Health Science, (2) research tax credits, (3) assumptions used in the valuation of right of use assets - operating lease, (4) impairment ofright-of-use
right
of
use
assets related to leases and property, plant and equipment, (5) recoverability of the Company’s net deferred tax assets and related valuation allowance, (6) assumptions used in the valuation model to determine the fair value and vesting conditions of share-based compensation plan and, (7) estimate of contingencies.

Going concern

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The going concern assumption contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern exists.
Since its inception, the Company has primarily funded its operations with equity financings, and, to a lesser extent, public assistance aimed at supporting innovation and payments associated with research tax credits (Cré
Crédit dImpôd’Impôt Recherche
). The Company does not generate product revenue and continues to prepare for the potential launch of its first product in the United States and in the European Union, if approved.

Following receipt of a Complete Response Letter (“CRL”) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in connection with its Biologics License Application (“BLA”) for Viaskin
Peanut, beginning in August 2020, the Company scaled down its other clinical programs and
pre-clinical
spend to focus on Viaskin
Peanut. TheIn response, the Company also initiatedimplemented a global restructuring plan in June 2020 to provide operational latitude to progress the clinical development and regulatory review of Viaskin
Peanut in the United States and European Union. Based on guidanceThis restructuring plan was completed in the second half of 2021.
In January 2021, the Company received written responses from the FDA to questions provided in the Type A meeting request the Company submitted in October 2020 following the CRL. In order to respond to the FDA’s requests and recommendations, the Company defined parallel workstreams primarily in order to generate the
6-month
safety and adhesion clinical data to assess a modified Viaskin Peanut patch and demonstrate the equivalence in allergen uptake between the current and modified patches in the intended patient population.
Following the submission of the adhesion study’s protocol to the FDA, the Company received an Advice/Information Request letter from the FDA in JanuaryOctober 2021, requesting a stepwise approach to the modified Viaskin patch development program and provided partial feedback on this protocol. In December 2021, the Company’sCompany decided not to pursue the stepwise approach to the development plans for Viaskin Peanut as requested by the FDA in the October 2021 feedback and announced its plan to implement such guidance,initiate a pivotal Phase 3 clinical study for a modified Viaskin Peanut patch (mVP) in children ages 4-11. The Company considers this trial as the most straightforward approach to demonstrate effectiveness, safety, and expected cost savings from implementationimproved adhesion of the global restructuringmodified Viaskin Peanut system. After receiving agreement from the FDA for its change in strategy, the protocol for the new Phase 3 pivotal study of the modified Viaskin Peanut (“mVP”) patch was completed at the end of February 2022 
and was submitted to the FDA in April 2022.
The
C
ompany has been granted a Type C meeting by the FDA
, which is expected to be held
in the second quarter of 2022
,
to align on the new Phase
3
study protocol.
The Company has incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception. As of the date of the filing, the Company’s available cash and cash equivalents are not projected to be sufficient to support its operating plan for at least the next 12 months. As such, there is substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
5

Based on its current operations, as well as its plans and assumptions as revised pursuant to its change of strategy, announced in December 2021, the Company expects that its current balance of cash and cash equivalents of $152.5$74.1 million as of March 31, 20212022 will be sufficient to fund its operations for at leastinto the next 12 months.

first quarter of 2023.

The Company intends to seek additional capital as it prepares for the new pivotal study and launch of Viaskin Peanut, if approved, and continues other research and development efforts. The Company may seek to finance its future cash needs through a combination of public or private equity or debt financings, collaborations, license and development agreements and other forms of
non-dilutive
financings. As a result of disruptions to the global financial markets as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the
The Company cannot guarantee that it will be able to obtain the necessary financing to meet its needs or to obtain funds at attractive terms and conditions. The ongoing
COVID-19
pandemic has already caused extreme volatility and disruptions in the capital and credit markets. A severe or prolonged economic downturn could result in a variety of risks to the Company, including reduced ability to raise additional capital when needed or on acceptable terms, if at all.

If the Company is not successful in its financing objectives, the Company could have to scale back its operations, notably by delaying or reducing the scope of its research and development efforts or obtain financing through arrangements with collaborators or others that may require the Company to relinquish rights to its product candidates that the Company might otherwise seek to develop or commercialize independently.
These Consolidated Financial Statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying amounts and classification of assets, liabilities, and reported expenses that may be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern

Accounting Pronouncements issued not yet adopted

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-13 - Financial Instruments - Credit losses, which replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology for financial instruments in current U.S. GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The FASB has issued ASU
2019-10
which has resulted in the postponement of the effective date of the new guidance for eligible smaller reporting companies to the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2023. The guidance must be adopted using a modified-retrospective approach and a prospective transition approach is required for debt securities for which an
other-than-temporary
impairment had been recognized before the effective date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the guidance on its Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company does not expect this new standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which modifies the goodwill impairment test and requires an entity to write down the carrying value of goodwill for the amount by which the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. The FASB has issued ASU 2019-10 which has resulted in the postponement of the effective date of the new guidance for eligible smaller reporting companies to the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2023. The Company does not expect this new standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements upon adoption.

Note 2: Significant Events and Transactions

Clinical programs

ViaskinTM Peanut for children ages 4-11

- United States Regulatory History and Current Status

In January 2020, the Company announced positive topline results of the three-year, open-label extension of its Phase III PEPITES trial, or PEOPLE trial, evaluating the long-term efficacy and safety of investigational Viaskin Peanut in peanut-allergic children ages 4 to 11 years. The results demonstrated long-term clinical benefit as shown by an increase in eliciting dose (“ED”), which may decrease the chance of reacting to an accidental peanut exposure. After three years, the Company observed that 75.9% (107/141) of patients had increased their ED from baseline, and 51.8% (73/141) of patients reached an ED of at least 1,000 mg peanut protein by year three. The safety profile of Viaskin Peanut was consistent with that observed in the clinical program to date in over 1,000 patients. During the PEOPLE trial, the most common adverse events were mild to moderate skin reactions localized to the administration site, and there was no epinephrine use deemed related to treatment. No treatment related serious adverse events were reported. One patient experienced one case of mild anaphylaxis that was determined by the investigator to be possibly related to treatment and resolved without anti-anaphylactic treatment. Treatment compliance remained high throughout the study at a mean of 98% over three years of treatment. Low discontinuations due to adverse events were observed.

In February 2020, the FDA announced an Allergenic Products Advisory Committee meeting to be held on May 15, 2020 to discuss the Biologics License Application (BLA) for Viaskin Peanut. On March 16, 2020, the Company announced that the FDA had informed us that during its ongoing review of the Company’s BLA for Viaskin Peanut, it had identified questions regarding efficacy, including the impact of patch-site adhesion. Therefore, the Advisory Committee meeting to discuss the BLA originally scheduled on May 15, 2020 was cancelled.

On August 4, 2020, the Company announced that FDA has issued a Complete Response Letter in which the FDA indicated it could not approve the Viaskin Peanut BLA in its current form. The FDA identified concerns regarding the impact of patch-site adhesion on efficacy and indicated the need for patch modifications, and subsequently a new human factor study. The FDA also indicated that supplementary clinical data would need to be generated to support the modified patch. In addition, the FDA requested additional Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls, or CMC, data. The FDA did not raise any safety concerns related to Viaskin Peanut.

On January 13, 2021, the Company received written responses from the FDA to questions provided in the Type A meeting request the Company submitted in October 2020 following the CRL. The Company believes the FDA feedback provides a well-defined regulatory path forward. In exchanges with the FDA, the Company proposed potential resolutions to two main concerns identified by the FDA in the CRL: the impact of patch adhesion and the need for patch modifications. The FDA agreed with the Company’sits position that a modified Viaskin Peanut patch should not be considered as a new product entity provided the occlusion chamber of the current Viaskin Peanut patch and the peanut protein dose of 250 µg (approximately

µg
(approximately 1/1000 of one peanut) remains unchanged and performs in the same way it has performed previously. In order to confirm the consistency of efficacy data between the existing and a modified patches, thepatch, FDA has

requested an assessment comparing the uptake of allergen (peanut protein) between the patches in peanut allergic children ages 4 to 11 years.

4-11.
The Company named that assessment EQUAL, which stands for Equivalence in Uptake of ALlergen. The FDA also recommended conducting a
6-month,
well-controlled safety and adhesion trial to assess thea modified Viaskin Peanut patch in the intended patient population.

On November 2, 2020, The Company later named this study STAMP, which stands for Safety, Tolerability, and Adhesion of Modified Patches

Based on the January 2021 FDA feedback, the Company defined three parallel workstreams:
1. Identify a modified Viaskin patch (which the Company calls mVP).
6

2. Generate the
6-month
safety and adhesion clinical data FDA requested via STAMP, which the Company expected to be the longest component of the mVP clinical plan. The Company prioritized the STAMP protocol submission so the Company could begin the study as soon as possible.
3. Demonstrate the equivalence in allergen uptake between the current and modified patches in the intended patient population via EQUAL. The complexity of EQUAL hinged on the lack of established clinical and regulatory criteria to characterize allergen uptake via an epicutaneous patch. To support those exchanges, the Company outlined its proposed approach to demonstrate allergen uptake equivalence between the two patches, and allotted time to generate informative data through two additional studies:
a.
PREQUAL, a Phase I study with adult healthy volunteers to optimize the allergen sample collection methodologies and validate the assays we intend to use in EQUAL
b.
‘EQUAL in adults’—a second Phase I study with adult healthy volunteers to compare the allergen uptake of cVP and Mvp;
In March 2021, the Company commenced CHAMP (Comparison of adHesion Among Modified Patches), a trial in healthy adult volunteers to evaluate the adhesion of five modified Viaskin Peanut patches, to identify the one or two best-performing patches, which the Company completed in the second quarter of 2021. Based on the adhesion parameters studied, the Company selected the modified patch to advance to further clinical testing in the intended patient population. All modified Viaskin Peanut patches demonstrated better adhesion performance as compared to the then-current Viaskin Peanut patch, and the Company then selected two modified patches that performed best out of the five modified patches studied for further development. The Company then selected the circular patch for further development, which is approximately 50% larger in size relative to the current patch and circular in shape.
In May 2021, the Company submitted its proposed STAMP protocol to the FDA, and
in
October 2021, the Company received an Advice/Information Request letter from the FDA. In this letter, the FDA requested a stepwise approach to the modified Viaskin patch development program and provided partial feedback on the STAMP protocol. Specifically, the FDA requested that the Company conduct allergen uptake comparison studies (i.e., ‘EQUAL in Adults’, EQUAL), and submit the allergen uptake comparison data for FDA review and feedback prior to starting the STAMP study. The FDA’s explanation was that the results from the allergen uptake studies might affect the design of the STAMP study.
After careful review of the FDA’s information requests and consideration of all other options, in December 2021, the Company decided not to pursue the stepwise approach to the development plans for Viaskin Peanut as requested by the FDA in the October 2021 feedback. The Company estimated that the FDA’s newly proposed sequential approach would require at least five rounds of exchanges that necessitate FDA alignment prior to initiating STAMP, the
6-month
safety and adhesion study. The Company does not believe this approach to be in the best interest of patients due to the significant time delays associated with FDA review of a resource dependent
(non-PDUFA)
product. As such, in December 2021, the Company announced it plans to initiate a pivotal Phase
3
—placebo-controlled efficacy trial for a modified Viaskin Peanut patch (mVP) in children ages 4-11. The study will also include updates to the Instructions for Use (IFU). The Company considers this trial the most straightforward to demonstrate effectiveness, safety, and improved adhesion of the modified Viaskin Peanut system. The FDA has confirmed the Company’s change in strategy is agreeable via oral and written exchanges. The protocol for the new Phase 3 pivotal study of the modified Viaskin Peanut (“mVP”) patch was completed at the end of February 2022
 and was submitted to the FDA in April 2022. The Company
has been granted a Type C meeting by the FDA in the second quarter of 2022 to align on the new Phase
3
study protocol.
Viaskin Peanut for children ages 4-11 - European Union Regulatory History and Current Status
In August 2021, the Company announced it has received from the EMA the Day 180 list of outstanding issues, which is an established part of the prescribed EMA review process. It is a letter that itsis meant to include any remaining questions or objections at that stage in the process. The EMA indicated many of their objections and major objections from the Day 120 list of questions had been answered. One major objection remained at Day 180. The Major Objection questioned the limitations of the data, for example, the clinical relevance and effect size supported by a single pivotal study.
In December 2021, the Company announced it has withdrawn the Marketing Authorization Application or MAA, for Viaskin Peanut had been validated by the European Medicines Agency, or EMA. The validation of the MAA confirmed that the submission was sufficiently complete to begin the formal review process for Viaskin Peanut to treat peanut allergies in children ages 4 to 11 years. The Company received the first set of questions fromand formally notified the EMA duringof our decision. The initial filing was supported by positive data from a single, placebo-controlled Phase 3 pivotal trial known as PEPITES
(V712-301).
The decision to withdraw was based on the first quarterview of 2021, which were consistent with the Company’s expectations and prefiling conversations with the EMA. The Company did not receive questions about the impact of adhesion on efficacy. The EMA’sEMA Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use will provide(CHMP) that the data available to date from a recommendationsingle pivotal study were not sufficient to preclude a Major Objection at Day 180 in the European Commission, or EC, on whether to grantreview cycle. The Company believes data from a marketing authorization when its review of thesecond Viaskin Peanut pivotal study will support a more robust path for licensure of Viaskin Peanut in the EU. The Company intends to resubmit the MAA when that data set is complete.

available.

Viaskin Peanut for children ages
1-3

On June 26, 2020, the Company announced that in Part A, patients in both treatment arms showed consistent treatment effects after 12 months of therapy, as assessed by a double-blind placebo-controlled food challenge and biomarker results. Part A subjects were not included in Part B and the efficacy analyses from Part A were not statistically powered to demonstrate superiority of either dose versus placebo. These results validate the ongoing investigation of the 250 mgPg dose in this age group, which is the dose being studied in Part B of the study. Enrollment for Part B of EPITOPE was completed in the first quarter of 2021.

Financing

On February 4, 2020,2021 and

top-line
results are expected by the Company announced the closing of an underwritten global offering of an aggregate of 7,500,000 ordinary shares in (i) a public offering of 4,535,581 ordinary shares in the form of 9,071,162 American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) in the United States, Canada and certain countries outside Europe at a public offering price of $10.25 per ADS (on the basis of an exchange rate of $1.0999 = €1.00), and (ii) an offering exclusively addressed to qualified investors in Europe (including France) of 2,964,419 ordinary shares at an offering price of €18.63 per ordinary share (together, the “Global Offering”).

On March 2, 2020, the Company announced that the underwriters partially exercised their option to purchase 338,687 additional ordinary shares in the form of 677,374 ADSs at an offering price of $10.25 per ADS, before deducting commissions and estimated offering expenses (the “Option”). The Option closed on March 4, 2020.

Consequently, following partial exerciseend of the Option, the total numbersecond quarter of ordinary shares sold in the global offering was 7,838,687 ordinary shares, including 4,874,268 ordinary shares in the form of 9,748,536 ADSs, bringing the total gross proceeds from the global offering to $160.7 million and net proceeds of $150.0 million.

Restructuring

COVID-19
Pandemic

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared
COVID-19
a pandemic. This global health crisis led many countries to impose national containment measures and travel bans. In view of this exceptional situation, the Company decided to take all measures

aimed primarily at guaranteeing the safety of its employees and the continuation of ongoing clinical trials, in compliance with the directives of the authorities in each country. The Company has experienced a decrease in new patients enrolling in the ongoing clinical studies and it has had to adapt the protocols of its clinical trials because patients remain subject to travel restrictions.

The Company has assessed the impact of the uncertainties created by the pandemic. As of March 31, 2021,2022, those uncertainties were taken into account in the assumptions underlying the estimates and judgments used by the Company. The Company continues to update these estimates and assumptions as the situation evolves. The effects of the
COVID-19
pandemic are presented in the relevant line items of the condensed consolidated statement of financial position and the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss according to the function or nature of the income or expense.

Legal Proceedings

A class action complaint was filed on January 15, 2019 in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, entitled Travis
Ito-Stone
v. DBV Technologies, et al., Case No.
2:19-cv-00525.
The complaint alleged that the Company and its former Chief Executive Officer, its current Chief Executive Officer, and its former Deputy Chief Executive Officer violated certain federal securities laws, specifically under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, and Rule
10b-5
promulgated thereunder. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages on behalf of a purported class of purchasers of the Company’s securities between February 14, 2018 and August 4, 2020 and also held the Company’s securities on December 20, 2018 and/or March 16, 2020 and/or August 4, 2020.

A hearing was held on July 29, 2021 in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey where the Court entered an order granting the Company’s Motion to Dismiss the Second Amended Class Action Complaint without prejudice. As the dismissal was without prejudice, the Plaintiffs replead their case by filing a Third Amended Class Action Complaint on September 30, 2021 in the same Court. The company moved to dismiss third amended complaint on December 10, 2021.
The Company believes that the allegations contained in the amended complaint are without merit and will continue to defend the case vigorously.The Company believes this complaint will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Note 11:13 Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to the shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. As the Company was in a loss position for each of the three months ended March 31, 20212022 and 2020,2021, the diluted loss per share is equal to basic loss per share because the effects of potentially dilutive shares were
anti-dilutive
as a result of the Company’s net loss.

The following is a summary of the ordinary share equivalents that were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share for each of the three months ended March 31, 20212022 and 20202021 indicated in number of potential shares:

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Part 1, Item 1 of this Report and with our audited financial statements and related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2020,2021, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020,2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 17, 2021,9, 2022, or the Annual Report. This discussion and other parts of this Report contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause such differences are discussed in the section of this Report titled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Annual Report.

Overview

We are a clinical-stage specialty biopharmaceutical company focused on changing the field of immunotherapy by developing a novel technology platform called Viaskin. Our therapeutic approach is based on epicutaneous immunotherapy, or EPITTM,EPITTM, our proprietary method of delivering biologically active compounds to the immune system through intact skin using Viaskin. We have generated significant data demonstrating that Viaskin’s mechanism of action is novel and differentiated, as it targets specific
antigen-presenting
immune cells in the skin, called Langerhans cells, that capture the antigen and migrate to the lymph node in order to activate the immune system without passage of the antigen into the bloodstream, minimizing systemic exposure in the body. We are advancing this unique technology to treat patients, including infants and children, suffering from food allergies, for whom safety is paramount, since the introduction of the offending allergen into their bloodstream can cause severe or
life-threatening
allergic reactions, such as anaphylactic shock.

On We believe Viaskin may offer convenient, self-administered,

non-invasive
immunotherapy to patients.
Following receipt of a CRL from the FDA in connection with our BLA for Viaskin Peanut, beginning in August 2020, we scaled down our other clinical programs and pre-clinical spend to focus on Viaskin Peanut. We also initiated a global restructuring plan in June 2020 to provide operational latitude to progress the clinical development and regulatory review of Viaskin Peanut in the United States and European Union.
In January 13, 2021, the Companywe received written responses from the FDA to questions provided in the Type A meeting request the Companywe submitted in October 2020 following the CRL. We believe the FDA feedback provides a well-defined regulatory path forward. In exchanges with the FDA, we proposed potential resolutions to two main concerns identified by the FDA in the CRL: the impact of patch adhesion and the need for patch modifications. The FDA agreed with our position that a modified Viaskin Peanut patch should not be considered as a new product entity provided the occlusion chamber of the current Viaskin Peanut patch and the peanut protein dose of 250 µg (approximately 1/10001,000 of aone peanut) remains unchanged and performs in the same way it has performed previously. In order to confirm the consistency of efficacy data between the existing and a modified patches, thepatch, FDA has requested an assessment comparing the uptake of allergen (peanut protein) between the patches in peanut allergic children ages 4 to 11 years.
4-11.
We named that assessment EQUAL, which stands for Equivalence in Uptake of Allergen. The FDA also recommended conducting a
6-month,
well-controlled safety and adhesion trial to assess thea modified Viaskin Peanut patch in the intended patient population. We later named this clinical trial STAMP, which stands for Safety, Tolerability, and Adhesion of Modified Patches.
Based on the January 2021 FDA feedback, we defined three parallel workstreams:
1.
Identify a modified Viaskin patch (which we call mVP).
2.
Generate the
6-month
safety and adhesion clinical data FDA requested via STAMP, which we expected to be the longest component of the mVP clinical plan. We prioritized the STAMP protocol submission so we could begin the clinical trial as soon as possible.
3.
Demonstrate the equivalence in allergen uptake between the current and modified patches in the intended patient population via EQUAL. The complexity of EQUAL hinged on the lack of established clinical and regulatory criteria to characterize allergen uptake via an epicutaneous patch. To support those exchanges, we outlined our proposed approach to demonstrate allergen uptake equivalence between the two patches, and allotted time to generate informative data through two additional Phase I clinical trials in healthy adult volunteers:
a.
PREQUAL, a Phase I trial with adult healthy volunteers to optimize the allergen sample collection methodologies and validate the assays we intend to use in EQUAL. The data collection phase of the trial is complete, and the data analysis phase is ongoing.
b.
‘EQUAL in adults,’ a second Phase I trial with adult healthy volunteers to compare the allergen uptake of cVP and mVP.
In March 2021, we commenced CHAMP (Comparison of adHesion Among Modified Patches), a Phase I trial in healthy adult volunteers to evaluate the adhesion of five modified Viaskin Peanut patches. We completed CHAMP in the second quarter of 2021. All modified Viaskin Peanut patches demonstrated better adhesion performance as compared to the then-current Viaskin Peanut patch, and based on the results of CHAMP, we then selected two modified patches that performed best out of the five modified patches studied for further development. We then selected the circular patch for further development, which is approximately 50% larger in size relative to the current patch and circular in shape.
In May 2021, we submitted our proposed STAMP protocol to the FDA, and on October 14, 2021, we received an Advice/Information Request letter from the FDA. In this letter, the FDA requested a stepwise approach to the modified Viaskin patch development program and provided partial feedback on the STAMP protocol. Specifically, the FDA requested that we conduct allergen uptake comparison trials (i.e., ‘EQUAL in Adults,’ EQUAL), and submit the protocolsallergen uptake comparison data for FDA review and feedback prior to starting the STAMP study. The FDA’s explanation was that the results from the allergen uptake trials might affect the design of the STAMP study.
After careful review of the FDA’s information requests, in December 2021, we decided not to pursue the sequential approach to the development plans for Viaskin Peanut as requested by the FDA in the October 2021 feedback. We estimated that the FDA’s newly proposed sequential approach would require at least five rounds of exchanges that necessitate FDA alignment prior to initiating STAMP, the
6-month
safety and adhesion study. As such, in December 2021, we announced we plan to initiate a pivotal Phase 3 placebo-controlled efficacy trial for a modified Viaskin Peanut patch (mVP) in children in the intended patient population. The clinical trial will also include updates to the Instructions for Use (IFU). We consider this approach the most straightforward to potentially demonstrate effectiveness, safety, and improved in vivo adhesion of the modified Viaskin Peanut system. The FDA has confirmed (“mVP”) change in strategy is agreeable via oral and written exchanges. The protocol for the new Phase 3 pivotal study of the modified Viaskin Peanut (mVP) patch was completed at the end of February 2022 and the allergen uptake studywas submitted to the FDA for review and comments before initiating the trials. We will address details aboutin April 2022. The Company has been granted a new human factor, or HF, validation study and additional CMC data in subsequent interactions withType C meeting by the FDA

During , which is expected to be held in the second quarter of 2022, to align on the new Phase 3 study protocol.

Operating Income
We generated operating income of $2.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $2.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021, a decrease of 13.4%. This income was mainly generated from the French research tax credit (
crédit d’impôt recherche)
, or CIR, and by revenue recognized under our collaboration agreement with Nestlé Health Science.

The decrease in operating income is primarily attributable to the decrease of the CIR, as eligible expenses have declined in correlation with Research and Development costs.
As of March 31, 2022, we recorded our collaboration contract income based on our updated measurement of progress of the Phase II clinical trial conducted as part of the collaboration and license agreement with Nestlé Health Science. The accrual recorded in the amount of the difference between our current best estimates of costs yet to be incurred and income yet to be recognized for the completion of the Phase II clinical has been updated accordingly.

Research and development expenses decreased by $9.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021, primarily due to a decrease of $5.5 million in external clinical-related expenses as main component of the work on clinical studies such as REALISE and EPITOPE has been finalized during the year 2021. We have also continued to practice financial diligence and implemented further cost containment strategies.
Employee-related costs, excluding share-based payment expenses, decreased by $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021, due to the workforce reduction following full implementation of the new organization.
The decrease in depreciation, amortization and other costs was primarily due to the reversal of loss at completion recorded on the Phase II clinical trial conducted as part of the Nestlé agreement.

Financial income
Our financial income was $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. This item mainly includes foreign exchange income.
Net loss
Net loss was $16.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $29.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Net loss per share (based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding over the period) was $0.30 and $0.54 for three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Financial Condition
On March 31, 2022, we had $74.1 million in cash and cash equivalents compared to $77.3 million of cash and cash equivalents on December 31, 2021. We have incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception. Net cash used for operating activities was $1.5 and $36.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of March 31, 2022, we recorded a net loss of $16.7 million.
Based on our current operations, as well as our plans and assumptions as revised pursuant to our change of strategy announced in December 2021, we expect that our balance of cash and cash equivalents of $74.1 million as of March 31, 2022 will be sufficient to fund our operations into the first quarter of 2023. As of the date of the filing, our available cash is not projected to be sufficient to support our operating plan for at least the next 12 months. As such, there is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.
We intend to seek additional capital as we prepare for the launch of Viaskin Peanut, if approved, and continue other research and development efforts. We may seek to finance our future cash needs through a combination of public or private equity or debt financings, collaborations, license and development agreements and other forms of non-dilutive financings. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to obtain the necessary financing to meet our needs or to obtain funds at attractive terms and conditions, including as a result of disruptions to the global financial markets due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has already caused extreme volatility and disruptions in the capital and credit markets. A severe or prolonged economic downturn could result in a variety of risks to us, including reduced ability to raise additional capital when needed or on acceptable terms, if at all.
If we are not successful in our financing objectives, we could have to scale back our operations, notably by delaying or reducing the scope of our research and development efforts or obtain financing through arrangements with collaborators or others that may require us to relinquish rights to our product candidates that we might otherwise seek to develop or commercialize independently.
Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis assuming that we will be successful in our financing objectives. As such, no adjustments have been made to the financial statements relating to the recoverability and classification of the asset carrying amounts or classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we not be able to continue as a going concern.
Sources and Material Cash Requirements

We fund short-term cash requirements primarily from payments associated with research tax credits (
Crédit d’Impôt Recherche
).
We have incurred net losses each year since our inception. Substantially all of our net losses resulted from costs incurred in connection with our development programs and from general and administrative expenses associated with our operations. We have not incurred any bank debt.
As of the European Medicines Agency,date of the filing, our available cash is not projected to be sufficient to support our operating plan for at least the next 12 months. As such, there is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. We intend to seek additional capital as we prepare for the launch of Viaskin Peanut, if approved, and continue other research and development efforts.

Conditional advances
In 2014, BpiFrance Financement granted an interest-free Innovation loan to DBV Technologies to help financing the pharmaceutical development of Viaskin
Milk. This amount was received in a single disbursement on November 27, 2014. In 2020, due to the
COVID-19
pandemic, Bpifrance postponed the repayments for a
6-month
period. Repayment will end during the third quarter of 2022.
Operating leases
Our corporate headquarters are located in Montrouge, France. Our principal offices occupy a 4,470 square meter facility, pursuant to a lease agreement dated March 3, 2015 and represents a $3.9 million cash requirement as of March 31, 2022 which expires March 8, 2024.
We also have facilities in North America that were initially intended to support our U.S. subsidiary as well as future commercialization needs. We lease 3,780 square feet of office space in Tower 49, New York, New York. This lease is for a period of 65 months and expires on February 25, 2023. In light of our global restructuring, the current stage of regulatory interactions regarding Viaskin Peanut, and the Marketing Authorization Application, or MAA,ongoing
COVID-19
pandemic, we entered into a sublease agreement of this office space in June 2021. The NYC office represents a $0.3 million cash requirement as of March 31, 2022 until the first quarter of 2023.
On March 28, 2022, the Company entered into a binding office lease agreement in New Jersey for a lease term of 3 years and 2 months. The lease commencement was based upon delivery of possession of the premises by the Landlord and occurred on April 1, 2022. Right of use and related lease debt will be recorded starting April 1, 2022.
Purchase obligations - Obligations Under the Terms of CRO Agreements
In connection with the launch of our clinical trials for Viaskin Peanut as a treatment for peanut allergy in children ages 4-11.. The questions were consistentand Viaskin Milk, we signed agreements with our expectations and prefiling conversationsseveral contract research organizations. Expenses associated with the EMA. We did not receive questions aboutongoing trials amounted globally to $105.5 million. As of March 31, 2022, the impactamount we are still obligated to pay in connection with these contracts through 2024 is $33.1 million.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the revenue, costs and expenses recognized during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

There have been no new policies or significant changes to our critical accounting policies as disclosed in the critical accounting policies described in the Annual Report. Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Report.

The following table summarizes our results of operations, derived from our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and presented in thousands of U.S. DollarsAnnual Report on Form 10-K for the three monthsyear ended MarchDecember 31, 2021, filed with the Securities and 2020:

Operating Income

We generated operating income of $2.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $4.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020, a decrease of 37.7%. This income was mainly generated from the French research tax credit (crédit d’impôt recherche), or CIR, and by revenue recognized under our collaboration agreement with Nestlé Health Science.

The decrease in operating income is primarily attributable to the decrease of the CIR, as eligible expenses have declined in correlation with Research and Development costs.

As of March 31, 2021, we recorded our collaboration contract income based on our updated measurement of progress of the Phase II clinical trial conducted as part of the collaboration and license agreement with Nestlé Health Science. The accrual recorded in the amount of the difference between our current best estimates of costs yet to be incurred and income yet to be recognized for the completion of the Phase II clinical has been updated accordingly.

Operating Expense

Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $32.6 million compared to $45.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The $13.4 million decrease in operating expenses is mainly attributable to a decrease in personnel expenses directly related to the workforce reduction we implemented as part of our 2020 global restructuring plan. Personnel expenses decreased by $9.7 million, or 52%, to $9.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 from $18.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Average headcount decreased 61% between the two periods, from 311 FTEs for the three months ended March 31, 2020 to and 121 FTEs for the three months ended March 31, 2021. By function, the personnel expenses, including share-based payment expenses, decreased as follows:

The decrease in other operating expenses was primarily due to the budget discipline measures taken by DBV. In particular, sales and marketing consulting fees dropped by 96.8% or $2.6 million, from $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 to $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and general and administrative fees decreased by 43.5% or $1.7 million, from $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 to $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

As a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we also experienced a decrease in other expenses, in particular tradeshows and travel expenses.

Restructuring

We initiated a global restructuring plan in June 2020 to provide operational latitude to progress in the clinical development and regulatory review of investigational Viaskin Peanut in the United States and European Union.

We expect full implementation of the restructuring plan to result in a reduction of more than 200 jobs, resulting in a remaining global team of 90 individuals dedicated to the pursuit of innovation and scientific development of novel therapies.

As of March 31, 2021, we had 104 employees. We expect full implementation of the organization-wide costs reduction measures to be completed by the second half of 2021.

The restructuring costs, which were $23.6 million as of December 31, 2020, were mainly comprised of payroll expenses, restructuring-related consulting and legal fees, as well as impairment of facilities and right of use assets following resizing of facilities.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the restructuring liability evolved as presented below:

Financial income

Our financial income was $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. This item mainly includes foreign exchange income.

Net loss

Net loss was $29.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $40.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Net loss per share (based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding over the period) was $0.54 and $0.79 for three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Operating Activities

Our net cash flows used in operating activities were $36.2 million and $49.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Our net cash flows used in operating activities decreased by $13.5 million, or 27.2%, mainly due to the budget discipline measures we took, in particular the decrease in personnel expenses, which was directly related to the workforce reduction we implemented as part of our global restructuring plan. Cash flows used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 included $4.9 million in restructuring amounts paid.

Investing Activities

Our net cash flows used in investing activities were $0.2 million and $0.9 million during the three months ended March 21, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Those investments were mainly for our industrial machinery and equipment, which are commissioned in order to support the commercialization of Viaskin Peanut, if approved.

Financing Activities

Our net cash flows provided by financing activities decreased to $0.4 million during the three months ended March 21, 2021 from $150.6 million during the three months ended March 21, 2020. Financing activities consisted mainly of our underwritten global offering in the first quarter of 2020.

Based on our current assumptions, we expect that our current cash and cash equivalents will support our operations until the second half of 2022

Contractual Obligations and Other Commitments

There have been no material changes in our contractual obligations and commitments from those disclosed in the Annual Report.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements and do not have variable interests in variable interest entities.

Smaller Reporting Company Status

We are a smaller reporting company as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We may, and intend to, take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies and will be able to take advantage of these scaled disclosures for so long as we are a smaller reporting company. We may be a smaller reporting company in any year in which (i) the market value of our voting and
non-voting
ordinary shares held by
non-affiliates
is less than $250.0 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter or (ii) (a) our annual revenue is less than $100.0 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and (b) the market value of our voting and
non-voting
ordinary shares held by non-affiliates is less than $700.0 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on their evaluation as of March 31, 2021,2022, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule
13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective to provide reasonable assurance that (i) the information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to Rules
13a-15(d)
or
15d-15(d)
of the Exchange Act during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitation on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and

procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies and procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error of fraud may occur and not be detected.
