DBV Technologies Reports Third Quarter Financial Results and Business Update

• DBV closes Q3 with a cash balance of $213M

• DBV continues to practice budget discipline measures; cash used in operating activities decreased more than 35% between the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2022

• DBV continues to engage with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding the partial clinical hold on the VITESSE Phase 3 clinical study

DBV Technologies (Euronext: DBV – ISIN: FR0010417345 – Nasdaq Stock Market: DBVT), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, today reported financial results for the third quarter of 2022. The quarterly financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on November 3, 2022. The Company also announced recent business updates concerning the VITESSE (Viaskin Peanut Immunotherapy Trial to Effectuate Safety, Simplicity and Efficacy) Phase 3 study.

DBV continues to engage with the U.S. FDA to address the feedback provided in the partial clinical hold letter and to finalize the VITESSE Phase 3 study protocol in children ages 4 to 7 years with a confirmed peanut allergy. The Company reports that progress has been made to address key elements of the partial clinical hold letter, but it will not meet the targeted first patient screened by year-end 2022. In parallel, DBV continues internal preparations for VITESSE and is conducting certain site assessment and start-up activities for prompt study launch once the partial clinical hold is lifted.

It is currently premature to assess the impact of the partial clinical hold letter on other previously announced milestones related to the VITESSE Phase 3 study. DBV will communicate additional updates publicly as appropriate, including once the partial clinical hold has been lifted. The Company plans to host a conference call following that announcement.

VITESSE is a Phase 3, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study to assess the efficacy and safety of epicutaneous immunotherapy with the modified Viaskin^™ Peanut 250 µg patch in peanut-allergic children ages 4 to 7 years.

Financial Highlights for the Third Quarter and the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022¹

Cash and Cash Equivalents

	Nine months ended September 30,
($ in thousands)	2022			2021
Net (decrease) / increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	135,369		$	(98,157	)
Net cash flow used in operating activities	$	(31,781	)		(89,452	)
Net cash flows used in investing activities		(66	)		41
Net cash flows provided by financing activities		194,403			(103	)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents		(27,186	)		(8,643	)
Net cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period	$	212,670		$	98,195

Cash and cash equivalents were $212.7 million, as of September 30, 2022, compared to $77.3 million as of December 31, 2021, and $98.2 million as of September 30, 2021. The net increase of $135.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was mostly comprised of a $194.7 million net cash flow received from the ATM Offering in May 2022 for $14.1 million; net of transaction costs and PIPE Offering in June 2022 for $180.6 million; net of transaction costs as well as a $26.4 million cash flow received following the reimbursement of the 2019, 2020 and 2021 Research Tax Credit (French Crédit Impôt Recherche, or CIR) offset by a $(58.2) million cash utilization in operating activities; and the effect of exchange rates on cash and cash equivalents for $(27.2) million.

Excluding the effect of reimbursement of the Research Tax Credit, the cash used in operating activities decreased by 35% between the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2022, respectively, reflecting the Company’s continued implementation of budget discipline measures.

Operating Income is primarily generated from DBV’s Research Tax Credit (French Crédit Impôt Recherche, or CIR) and from revenue recognized by DBV under its collaboration agreement with Nestlé Health Science.

¹  The Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”).

Operating income was $6.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The variation in operating income is primarily attributable to the revision of the revenue recognized under Nestlé’s collaboration agreement conducted as part of the existing contract, as the Company updated the measurement of progress of its Phase 2 APTITUDE milk-diagnostic tool clinical study.
