DBV Technologies Reports Interim Financial Results for the third quarter of 2015
DBV Technologies, (Euronext: DBV – ISIN: FR0010417345 – Nasdaq Stock Market: DBVT), a clinical-stage specialty biopharmaceutical company, today announced its topline financial results, as well as its cash and cash equivalents, for the third quarter of 2015.
Topline Financial Results for the third quarter of 2015
Operating income was €3.9 million and €4.9 million for the third quarter of 2014 and 2015, respectively. This increase of 25.8% primarily resulted from an increase in our research tax credits amounting to €4.6 million over the 2015 period, compared to €3.6 million a year earlier. Sales of Diallertest Milk® amounted to €107,520 in the third quarter of 2015 compared with €210,759 a year earlier. We do not anticipate material future revenues from this diagnostic product and remain focused on the development of our product candidates that employ the Viaskin® platform.
Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2015
Following the closing of the underwritten public offering of 4,140,000 ordinary shares in the form of 8,280,000 American Depositary Shares, or ADSs, at a price to the public of $34.00 per ADS on July 20, 2015, our cash and cash equivalents amounted to €332.2 million at September 30, 2015, as compared with €104.5 million at June 30, 2015. Our research tax credits for 2014 of €4.3 million had not yet been paid as of September 30, 2015.
Number of outstanding shares at September 30, 2015
We had 24,123,249 ordinary shares outstanding at September 30, 2015.
