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™Viaskin
. The Company’s therapeutic approach is based on epicutaneous immunotherapy, or EPIT™EPIT
, a proprietary method of delivering biologically active compounds to the immune system through intact skin using Viaskin™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 U.S. dollars. 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 9, 20222, 2023 (the “Annual Report”). The condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 20212022 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, 2021.2022.
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, 2022,2023, 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 - assets—operating lease, (4) impairment of
right-of-use
assets related to leases and property, plant and equipment, (5) recoverability of the Company'sCompany’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.contingencies and (8) estimate of employee benefits obligations.
Accounting Pronouncements adopted in 20222023
The Company has not adopted any new accounting pronouncements in 2022 to date.
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 impactAdoption of the guidance on its Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company does not expect this new standard willdid not have a material impact on itsthe consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Pronouncements issued not yet adopted
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
Viaskin
TM
Peanut for children ages 4-11 in the United States Regulatory History and Current Status
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 Complete Response Letter received in August 2020.Letter. The FDA agreed with its 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 1/1000 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 patch, FDA requested an assessment comparing the uptake of allergen (peanut protein) between the patches in peanut allergic children ages 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 a modified Viaskin Peanut patch in the intended patient population. 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 (“mVP”(which the Company calls “mVP”).
 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:
Phase 1 clinical trials in healthy adult volunteers:
 a.
PREQUAL, a Phase I1 study with adult healthy volunteers to optimize the allergen sample collection methodologies and validate the assays the Company intendswe intend to use in EQUAL
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 study1 trial 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 Phase 1 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 thepatches. The Company completed CHAMP 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 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 inon October 14, 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, in December 2021, the Company decided not to pursue the stepwisesequential approach to the development plans for Viaskin Peanut as requested by the FDA in the October 2021 letter.feedback. The Company estimated that the FDA’s newly proposed stepwisesequential 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, the Company announced its plan to initiate a pivotal Phase III3 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). The Company considers this approach the most straightforward to potentially demonstrate effectiveness, safety, and improved in vivo adhesion of the modified Viaskin Peanut system. The FDA confirmed the Company’s change in strategy is agreeable via oral and written exchanges.

On September 21, 2022, the Company announced it received feedback from the U.S. FDA in the form of a partial clinical hold on its VITESSE Phase 3 clinical study.. In the partial clinical hold letter, the FDA specifiesspecified changes to elements of the VITESSE protocol, withacknowledging the intent for the trial to support a future BLA submission. In the following months, we engaged with the FDA to address the feedback provided in the partial clinical hold letter and to finalize the VITESSE protocol. In addition, we continued internal preparations for VITESSE and conducted certain site assessment and
start-up
activities for prompt study launch once the partial clinical hold was lifted.
On December 23, 2022, the Company announced the FDA lifted the partial clinical hold and confirmed we satisfactorily addressed all clinical hold issues. The modifications noted withinFDA stated that VITESSE may proceed with the FDA’s communication address design elements, includingrevised trial protocol.

On March 2, 2023, the statistical analysisCompany announced the completion of EVOLVE, a 12-week caregiver and patient user experience study of the mVP patch in 50 peanut allergic children ages 4–11-years old. The objective of EVOLVE was to evaluate the Instructions for Use (IFU) and ease of use for the mVP patch. The study concluded that the updated IFU supported correct patch application, which included no lifting of the patch edges or detachment directly after application. Furthermore, EVOLVE concluded that the majority of parents/caregivers reported a positive ease of use experience with the mVP patch. In EVOLVE, DBV also tested the functionality of an electronic patient diary (eDiary) to collect information on activities of daily living and patch adhesion minimum daily wear time and technical alignmentsscores. EVOLVE verified that the eDiary tool can be used by caregivers in methodsVITESSE to capture the adhesion data in support of categorizing data, to meet study objectives as well asa potential BLA.

On August 2, 2021, the Company announced its receiptreceived from the EMAEuropean Medicines Agency (EMA) of the Day 180 list of outstanding issues, which is an established part of the prescribed EMA review process. It is a letter that is 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.
InOn December 20, 2021, the Company announced it had withdrawn the Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) for Viaskin Peanut and formally notified the EMA of 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 view of EMA Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) that the data available to date from a single pivotal studyclinical trial were not sufficient to preclude a Major Objection at Day 180 in the review cycle. The Company believes data from a second Viaskin Peanut pivotal studyclinical trial 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 available.

In June 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 Pgµg 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 2022.2021.
In June 2022, the Company announced that its pivotal Phase III trialpositive topline results from Part B of EPITOPE, assessing the safety and efficacy of Viaskin™ Peanut 250 µg for the treatment of peanut-allergic toddlerswhich enrolled 362 subjects ages 1 to 3 years, met its primary endpoint. Viaskin Peanut demonstrated a statistically significant treatment effect (p<0.001), with 67.0% of subjectswhich 244 and 118 were in the Viaskin Peanut arm meetingactive and placebo arms respectively. Enrollment was balance for age and baseline disease characteristics between the active and placebo treatment responder criteria after 12 months, as compared to 33.5% of subjects in the placebo arm (difference in response rates = 33.4 %, 95 % CI = 22.4% - 44.5 %).arms.

In February 2023 the Company submitted a pre-BLA Meeting request to FDA and the Agency granted DBV’s request as a written response only. In the written responses received, the Agency confirmed that the Company’s Phase 3 EPITOPE study met the pre-specified criteria for success for the primary endpoint. The FDA did not request an additional efficacy study to support a future BLA but requires that DBV conduct an additional safety study in 1 – 3-year-olds using the original Viaskin Peanut patch to augment the safety data collected from the Phase 3 years, givenEPITOPE study. The new safety study is intended to bring the high unmet needsafety database in 1–3-year-olds close to 600 patients on active treatment which is consistent with FDA’s position in support of the Company’s dossier in 4–7-year-olds. The safety study will not require a food challenge for study participation, will generate patch adhesion data, and absence of approved treatmentswill include updated instructions for this vulnerable population.use.

The Company has assessed the
pre-funded
warrants for appropriate equity or liability classification. During this assessment, the Company determined the
pre-funded
warrants are freestanding instruments that do not meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480 and do not meet the definition of a derivative pursuant to ASC 815.
The 2022 Warrants are classified as a component of permanent equity because they are freestanding financial instruments that are legally detachable and separately exercisable from the shares of common stock with which they were issued, are immediately exercisable, do not embody an obligation for the Company to repurchase its shares, and permit the holders to receive a fixed number of shares of common stock upon exercise. In addition, the 2022 Warrants do not provide any guarantee of value or return.
Accordingly, the
pre-funded
warrants are classified as equity and accounted for as a component of additional
paid-in
capital at the time of issuance.
The changes in number of outstanding prefunded warrants are as follows:

Note 14: 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, 2023 and nine months periods ended September 30, 2022, and 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 and six months ended September 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022 and 2021 indicated in number of potential shares:

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 EPIT

TM
, our proprietary method of delivering biologically active compounds to the immune system through intact skin using Viaskin.Viaskin, an epicutaneous patch (i.e., a skin patch). We have generated significant data demonstrating that Viaskin’s mechanism of action is novel and differentiated, as itdifferentiated. Viaskin 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. We believe Viaskin may offer convenient, self-administered, non-invasive immunotherapy to patients. patients, if approved.

Our most advanced clinical program is Viaskin Peanut.

Peanut, which has been evaluated as a potential therapy for children ages 4-11with peanut allergy in the United States
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 Complete Response Letter received in August 2020. The FDA agreed with its 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 patchnine clinical trials, including four Phase 2 trials and the peanut protein dose of 250 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 patch, FDA requested an assessment comparing the uptake of allergen (peanut protein) between the patches in peanut allergic children ages 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 a modified Viaskin Peanut patch in the intended patient population. 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 (“mVP”).
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 the Company intends 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 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.
After careful review of the FDA’s information requests, 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 letter. The Company estimated that the FDA’s newly proposed stepwise 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, the Company announced its plan to initiate a pivotal Phase III 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). The Company considers this approach the most straightforward to potentially demonstrate effectiveness, safety, and improved in vivo adhesion of the modified Viaskin Peanut system. The FDA confirmed the Company’s change in strategy is agreeable via oral and written exchanges.
The new Phase 3 pivotal study for modified Viaskin Peanut has been named VITESSE (Viaskin Peanut Immunotherapy Trial to Evaluate Safety, Simplicity and Efficacy), which means “speed” in French.
In May 2022, the Company announced that the FDA granted ittrials. We recently completed a Type C meeting to align on the protocol and the study protocol was submitted to the FDA as part of the Type C meeting briefing package.
On September 9, 2022, the Company announced the initiation of the Phase 3 study, using the modified Viaskin™ Peanut Patch, in peanut-allergic children ages 4 to 7 years.
On September 21, 2022, the Company announced it received feedback from the U.S. FDA in the form of a partial clinical hold on its VITESSE Phase 3 clinical study. In the partial clinical hold letter, the FDA specifies changes to elements of the VITESSE protocol with the intent for the trial to support a future BLA submission. The modifications noted within the FDA’s communication address design elements, including the statistical analysis of adhesion, minimum daily wear time and technical alignments in methods of categorizing data, to meet study objectives as well as the total number of trial participants on active treatment. The Company has not yet begun the screening or recruitment of subjects in the VITESSE study. The partial clinical hold is specific to VITESSE and does not impact any other ongoing its clinical studies. The Company expects to provide additional updates following consultation with the FDA.

Viaskin Peanut for children ages 4-11 - European Union Regulatory History and Current Status
In August 2021, the Company announced its receipt from the EMA of the Day 180 list of outstanding issues, which is an established part of the prescribed EMA review process. It is a letter that is 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 had withdrawn the Marketing Authorization Application for Viaskin Peanut and formally notified the EMA of 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 view of EMA Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) that the data available to date from a single pivotal study were not sufficient to preclude a Major Objection at Day 180 in the review cycle. The Company believes data from a second Viaskin Peanut pivotal study will support a more robust path for licensure of Viaskin Peanut in the EU. The Company intendschildren ages one to resubmit the MAA when that data set is available.

In June 2020,four to seven with peanut allergy.

On March 7, 2023, 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 investigationscreening of the 250 Pg dosefirst patient in this age group, which is the dose being studied in Part BVITESSE. Screening of the study. Enrollment for Part B of EPITOPE was completedlast patient is anticipated in the first quarter of 2022.

In June 2022, The Company announced that its pivotal Phase III trial EPITOPE, assessing the safetyhalf in 2024 and efficacy of Viaskin™ Peanut 250 µg for the treatment of peanut-allergic toddlers ages 1 to 3 years, met its primary endpoint. Viaskin Peanut demonstrated a statistically significant treatment effect (p<0.001), with 67.0% of subjectstopline results in the Viaskin Peanut arm meetingfirst half in 2025.

On April 19, 2023, the treatment responder criteria after 12 months, as compared to 33.5% of subjects inCompany outlined the placebo arm (difference in response rates = 33.4 %, 95 % CI = 22.4% - 44.5 %).

DBV intends to further analyze the data from EPITOPE and explore regulatory pathwayspath for Viaskin Peanut in children ages 11-3 years old after the FDA confirmed that the Company’s Phase 3 EPITOPE study meets the pre-specified criteria for success for the primary endpoint, not requesting any additional efficacy study. The FDA requires additional safety data to 3 years, givenaugment the high unmet needsafety data collected from EPITOPE in support of a BLA. This new safety study will also generate patch adhesion data and absence of approved treatmentswill include updated instructions for this vulnerable population.use.

Our operating income is primarily generated from the French research tax credit (

Crédit d’Iimpôd’Impôt Recherche
, or “CIR”), and by the revenue recognized under our collaboration agreement with Nestlé Health Science. We generated operating income of $2.1$2.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 compared to $ 1.32.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021.March 31, 2022. The increasedecrease in operating income is primarily attributable to the revenue recognized under the Nestlé’s collaboration agreement, as we updated the measurement of progress of the Phase II2 clinical trial conducted as part of the agreement. During the three months ended September 30, 2021 negative revenue was recognized under the Nestlé’s collaboration agreement due to delays in new patient enrollment. The decreaseincrease in research tax credit is attributable to the decreaseincrease in eligible costs in connection with Research and Development costs.

Operating Expenses

Our operating income was primarily generated from the French research tax credit (
Crédit d’Impôt Recherche
or “CIR”) and from revenue recognized under our collaboration agreement with Nestlé Health Science. We generated operating income of $6.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $2.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
The increase in operating income is primarily attributable to the revenue recognized under the Nestlé’s collaboration agreement, as we updated the measurement of progress of the Phase II clinical trial conducted as part of the agreement. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 negative revenue was recognized under the Nestlé’s collaboration agreement due to delays in new patient enrollment. The decrease in research tax credit is attributable to the decline in eligible expenses in connection with Research and Development costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Financial Condition

On September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had $212.7$192.3 million in cash and cash equivalents compared to $77.3$209.2 million of cash and cash equivalents on December 31, 2021.2022. Based on its current operations, plans and assumptions, the Company expects that its balance of cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund its operations for at least the next 12 months. We have incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception. Net cash used for operating activities was $31.8$20.8 and $89.5$1.5 million for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022, and 2021, respectively. For the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we recorded a net loss of $57$20.6 million. Our net cash flows provided by financing activities increased to $194.4 millionwas nil during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022 fromMarch 31, 2023 compared to $(0.1) million during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2021. Financing activities consisted mainly of our global offering in the second quarter ofMarch 31, 2022.

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. 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 of Liquidity and Material Cash Requirements

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.

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Annual Report.

Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on its evaluation as of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, 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) 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'sSEC’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'smanagement’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.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

See “Note 2: Significant Events and Transactions – Legal Proceedings” in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Except as

Our business is subject to risks and events that, if they occur, could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and trading price of our securities. In addition to the other information set forth below, therein this Quarterly Report, you should carefully consider the factors described in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report. There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in the Annual Report.

Future sales of ordinary shares or ADSs by existing shareholders could depress the market price of the ADSs.
As of December 31, 2021, 55,095,762 Ordinary Shares were issued and outstanding. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our Ordinary Shares or ADSs in the public market, or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price of our securities and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. A substantial number of our shares are now generally freely tradable, subject, in the case of sales by our affiliates, to the volume limitations and other provisions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. If holders of these shares sell, or indicate an intent to sell, substantial amounts of our securities in the public market, the trading price of our securities could decline significantly.
In June 2022, we completed a $194 million PIPE financing from the sale of (i) 32,855,669 Ordinary Shares, nominal value €0.10 per share at a price per Ordinary Share of €3.00 (corresponding to $3.22 on the basis of an exchange rate of $1.0739 = €1.00 published by the European Central Bank on June 8, 2022), and (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase an aggregate of 28,276,331 Ordinary Shares (the “Warrant Shares”) at a pre-funded price per pre-funded warrant of €2.90 (corresponding to $3.11), which equals the per share price of the Ordinary Shares less the exercise price of €0.10 per pre-funded warrant. Each pre-funded warrant has an exercise price of €0.10 per Warrant Share. Pursuant to a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the investors, the Company filed a registration statement with the SEC registering the resale of 59,269,629 ordinary shares issued in the PIPE financing, including ordinary shares underlying the pre-funded warrants. The Company also filed a registration statement with the SEC registering the resale of 11,593,170 ordinary shares by Entities affiliated with Baker Bros. Advisors, issued in the PIPE financing, including ordinary shares underlying the pre-funded warrants. As a result, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations contained in the pre-funded warrants, these shares are freely tradable, without restriction, in the public market. In addition, the exercise of some or all of the pre-funded warrants will increase the number of our outstanding ordinary shares, which may dilute the ownership percentage or voting power of our shareholders.
In addition, we have filed a registration statement with the SEC to register the Ordinary Shares that may be issued under our equity incentive plans. The Ordinary Shares subject to outstanding options under our equity incentive plans, Ordinary Shares reserved for future issuance under our equity incentive plans and Ordinary Shares subject to outstanding warrants will become eligible for sale in the public market in the future, subject to certain legal and contractual limitations. Sales of a large number of the shares issued under these plans in the public market could have an adverse effect on the market price of our securities.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we issued the following unregistered securities:

On March 23, 2022, the issuance of an aggregate of 775 ordinary shares to a non-U.S. employee upon settlement of RSUs;
On May 19, 2022, the issuance of an aggregate of 5,000 ordinary shares to a non-U.S. employee upon settlement of RSUs;
On May 24, 2022, the issuance of an aggregate of 26,135 ordinary shares to a non-U.S. employee upon settlement of RSUs;
Pursuant to the authorization granted by the General Meeting of the Shareholders held on May 12, 2022, the Company offered the opportunity to subscribe for warrants to purchase ordinary shares on May 12, 2022, and on June 9, 2022, the Chief Executive Officer authorized a capital increase for an amount of €3,285,566.90 through the issue of (i) 32,855,669 New Shares with a per value of €0.10 each and (ii) the issuance of 28,276,331 prefunded warrants, with cancellation of shareholders' preferential subscription rights in favor of Braidwell LP, funds advised by Baker Bros. Advisors LP and BpiFrance Participations SA, existing shareholders of the Company and Venrock Healthcare Capital Partners.
On June 8, 2022, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional and accredited investors pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell to the investors i) 32,855,669 ordinary shares, nominal value €0.10 per share, at a price per ordinary share of €3.00 (corresponding to $3.22 on the basis of an exchange rate of $1.0739 = €1.00 published by the European Central Bank on June 8, 2022), and (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase an aggregate of 28,276,331 ordinary shares (the “Warrant
34

 
Shares”) at a pre-funded price per pre-funded warrant

On March 23, 2023, the issuance of €2.90 (corresponding to $3.11), which equals the per share pricean aggregate of the10,174 ordinary shares less the exercise priceto US and non-U.S. employees upon settlement of €0.10 per Pre-Funded Warrant. Each Pre-Funded Warrant has an exercise price of €0.10 per Warrant Share. The Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable at any time after their original issuance and will expire ten years following their issuance. The exercise price and number of shares of ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances, including stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications and the like. The pre-funded warrants issued in the PIPE provide that the holder of the pre-funded warrants will not have the right to exercise any portion of its pre-funded warrants if such holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the number of ordinary shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). The holder may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, provided, however, that the holder may only increase the Beneficial Ownership Limitation by (i) obtaining authorization from the French Ministry of Economy in the event the Beneficial Ownership Limitation is being raised above 9.99%, and (ii) by providing 61 days’ notice to the Company, except that in no event will the Beneficial Ownership Limitation exceed 19.99%. The securities issued by us pursuant to the securities purchase agreement and to be issued upon exercise of the warrants were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission registering the resale of 59,269,629 ordinary shares issued in the PIPE financing, including ordinary shares underlying the pre-funded warrants.RSUs;

On June 10, 2022, the issuance of 3,100 ordinary shares to a non-U.S. employee upon exercise of 3,100 SO at an exercise price of 4.16 euros per SO, for aggregate proceeds to the Company of 12,896 euros.

On September 23, 2022, the issuance of an aggregate of 249 ordinary shares to a non-U.S. employee upon settlement of RSUs.

None of the foregoing transactions involved any underwriters, underwriting discounts or commissions, or any public offering. We believe these transactions were exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act or Regulation S promulgated under Section 5 of the Securities Act, as transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering or as offerings made to non-U.S. resident employees pursuant to an employee benefit plan established and administered in accordance with the law of a country other than the United States (namely, the Republic of France) and in accordance with that country’s practices and documentation. All recipients had adequate access, through their relationships with us, to information about us. The sales of these securities were made without any general solicitation or advertising.
