Any forward-looking statement involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statement. Forward-looking statements include statements, other than statements of historical fact, about, among other things:

other risks and uncertainties, including those listed under the caption “Risk Factors.”

Although we believe that we have a reasonable basis for each forward-looking statement contained in this Quarterly Report, these statements are based on our estimates or projections of the future that are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, level of activity, performance, experience or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by any forward-looking statement. These risks, uncertainties and other factors are described in greater detail under the caption “Risk Factors” in Part I. Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC on March 2, 2023.

In addition, any forward-looking statement in this Quarterly Report, including statements that “we believe” and similar statements, reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject and represents our views only as of the date of this Quarterly Report and should not be relied upon as representing our views as of any subsequent date. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this Quarterly Report and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain and you are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments may cause our views to change. Although we may elect to update these forward-looking statements publicly at some point in the future, we specifically disclaim any obligation to do so, except as required by applicable law.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED 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 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 2, 2023 (the “Annual Report”). The condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2022 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, 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, 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—operating lease, (4) impairment of
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, (7) estimate of contingencies, and (8) estimate of employee benefits obligations.
Accounting Pronouncements adopted in 2023
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. Adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU
2021-08,
which amends ASC 805 to require acquiring entities to apply Topic 606 to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination. This amendment is effective for public business entities for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Adoption of this new standard has no impact on the 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
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 receipt of the Complete Response 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 (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 Phase 1 clinical trials in healthy adult volunteers:
 
  a.
PREQUAL, a Phase 1 study 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 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 Phase 1 trial in healthy adult volunteers to evaluate the adhesion of five modified Viaskin Peanut patches. The Company 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 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 on 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 sequential 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. As such, in December 2021, the Company announced its 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 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.

In 2022, the Company announced the new Phase 3 pivotal study for modified Viaskin Peanut (mVP) patch would be in younger
(4-7
years old) and more sensitive children with peanut allergy.
On September 7, 2022, the Company announced the initiation of VITESSE, a new Phase 3 pivotal study of the modified Viaskin Peanut (mVP) patch in children ages
4-7
years with peanut allergy. We defined initiation as the submission of the trial protocol to selected study sites for subsequent Institution
al
Review Board (IRB)/Ethics Committee (EC) approval.
On September 21, 2022, the Company announced it received feedback from the U.S. FDA in the form of a partial clinical hold on VITESSE. In the partial clinical hold letter, the FDA specified changes to elements of the VITESSE protocol, acknowledging 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 FDA stated that VITESSE may proceed with the revised trial protocol.
On March 2, 2023, the Company 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 scores. EVOLVE verified that the eDiary tool can be used by caregivers in VITESSE to capture the adhesion data in support of a potential BLA.
On March 7, 2023, the Company announced that the first patient was screened in the VITESSE study. Screening of the last patient is anticipated in the first half in 2024 and topline results in the first half in 2025.
On April 19, 2023, the Company outlined
the
regulatory path for Viaskin Peanut in children
1-3
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 augment the safety data collected from EPITOPE in support of a BLA. This new safety study will also generate patch adhesion data and will include updated instructions for use.
Viaskin Peanut for children ages
4-11—European
Union Regulatory History and Current Status
On August 2, 2021, the Company announced it received from the European 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.
On 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 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 clinical 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 clinical 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.
Viaskin Peanut for children ages
1-3
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 µg 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.
 
9

In June 2022, the Company announced positive topline results from Part B of EPITOPE, which enrolled 362 subjects ages 1 to 3 years, of which 244 and 118 were in the active and placebo arms respectively. Enrollment was balance for age and baseline disease characteristics between the active and placebo treatment arms.
On April 19, 2023,
the Company announced it will begin a new safety study after it received confirmation from the FDA that the EPITOPE study meets the
 
pre-specified
 
criteria for success for the primary endpoint, with no additional efficacy study requested. This safety study will increase the safety data collected from EPITOPE in support of a BLA. It will also generate patch adhesion data and will include updated instructions for use.
On May 10, 2023, the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) published results that demonstrated epicutaneous immunotherapy (EPIT) with VP was statistically superior to placebo in desensitizing children to peanut
exposure
by increasing the peanut dose that triggers allergic symptoms. As stated in an accompanying editorial piece, these data are seen as “very good news” for toddlers with peanut allergy, as there are currently no approved treatment options for peanut-allergic children under the age of 4 years. Following this publication, the Company confirmed it is advancing regulatory efforts for VP in toddlers ages
1-3
years old with a confirmed peanut allergy.
Viaskin Peanut for Children ages
4-7
On September 7, 2022, the Company announced the initiation of VITESSE, a new Phase 3 pivotal study of the modified Viaskin Peanut (mVP) patch in children ages
4-7
years with peanut allergy. We defined initiation as the submission of the trial protocol to selected study sites for subsequent Institutional Review Board (IRB)/Ethics Committee (EC) approval.
On September 21, 2022, the Company announced we had received feedback from the FDA in the form of a partial clinical hold on VITESSE. In the partial clinical hold letter, the FDA specified changes to elements of the VITESSE protocol, acknowledging 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 FDA stated that VITESSE may proceed with the revised trial protocol.
On March 7, 2023, the Company announced that the first patient was screened in the VITESSE trial. Screening of the last patient is anticipated in the first half in 2024 and topline results in the first half in 2025.

The Company does not hold any plan assets related to long-term employee benefit for any of the periods presented. There have been no significant changes in assumptions for the estimation of the retirement commitments from those disclosed in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report.
In 2022 and during the first six months of 2023, the Company updated its measurement of progress of the Phase 2 clinical trial (“PII”) conducted as part of the collaboration and license agreement with Nestlé Health Sciences and updated the cumulative income recognized. The Company recognized a reversal of $1.1 million of the loss for completion recorded in the amount of the excess between the Company’s current best estimates of costs yet to be incurred and income yet to be recognized for the completion of the PII.
The other contingencies mainly consisted of a provision for refurbishment amounting to the best estimate of costs to be incurred in case the Montrouge office lease agreement is not renewed at its July 2024 term.

The increase in operating income was primarily due to the increase in the research and development costs eligible to research tax credit in France.
The Company recognizes as other operating income accrued revenues based on its updated measurement of progress of the Phase 2 clinical trial conducted as part of the collaboration agreement with Nestlé. Moreover, the loss for completion recorded in the amount of the difference between the Company’s current best estimates of costs yet to be incurred and revenues yet to be recognized for the completion of the Phase 2 clinical trial was updated accordingly as of June 30, 2023 (see note 9 related to contingencies).
Note 11: Allocation of Personnel Expenses
The Company had an average of 88 employees during the six months ended June 30, 2023, in comparison with an average of 87 employees during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

The increase in personnel expenses was mainly due to recruitment of US employees partially offset by the departure of
non-US
employees, and the increase of charges related to share-base payments.
Note 12: Commitments
There were no significant changes in other commitments from those disclosed in Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report.

Note 13: Relationships with Related Parties
The Company’s related parties exclusively consisted of the members of the Board of Directors and the members of the Executive Committee. As of June 30, 2023, the total amount of remuneration granted to the members of the Board of Directors and Executive Committee has not significantly changed since December 31, 2022.
There were no new significant related-party transactions during the period nor any changes in the nature of the transactions from those described in Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report.
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- and
six-month
periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, 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 June 30, 2023 and 2022 indicated in number of potential shares:

Item 2. 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, 2022, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 2, 2023, 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, our proprietary method of delivering biologically active compounds to the immune system through intact skin using 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, 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 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, if approved.

Our most advanced clinical program is Viaskin Peanut, which has been evaluated as a potential therapy for children with peanut allergy in nine clinical trials, including four Phase 2 trials and three completed Phase 3 trials. We recently completed a Phase 3 trial of Viaskin Peanut in children ages one to three with peanut allergy and we also have an ongoing Phase 3 trial of Viaskin Peanut in children ages four to seven with peanut allergy.

On March 7, 2023, the Company announced screening of the first patient in VITESSE. Screening of the last patient is anticipated in the first half in 2024 and topline results in the first half in 2025.

On April 19, 2023, the Company outlined the regulatory path for Viaskin Peanut in children 1-3 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 augment the safety data collected from EPITOPE in support of a BLA. This new safety study will also generate patch adhesion data and will include updated instructions for use.

On May 10, 2023, the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) published results that demonstrated epicutaneous immunotherapy (EPIT) with VP was statistically superior to placebo in desensitizing children to peanut exposure by increasing the peanut dose that triggers allergic symptoms. As stated in an accompanying editorial piece, these data are seen as “very good news” for toddlers with peanut allergy, as there are currently no approved treatment options for peanut-allergic children under the age of 4 years. Following this publication, the Company confirmed it is advancing regulatory efforts for VP in toddlers ages 1-3 years old with a confirmed peanut allergy.

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 unaudited 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 unaudited 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 unaudited condensed 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 the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of our Annual Report.

Our operating income is primarily generated from the French research tax credit (Crédit d’Impôt Recherche, or “CIR”), and revenues recognized as part of our collaboration agreement with Nestlé Health Science. We generated operating income of $2.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $1.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022.

The increase in operating income was primarily due to the increase by $0.5 million in French research tax credit as the eligible employee-related costs increased to support research and development activities (1) after the initiation of the VITESSE trial with the first patient screened in March 2023, and (2) as part of the new safety study for toddlers after the FDA confirmed additional safety data is required for BLA.

In addition, other operating income increased by $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022, after we updated the measurement of progress of the Phase 2 clinical trial conducted as part of the Nestlé’s collaboration agreement.

Research and Development expenses decreased by $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to the reversal of $1.1 million of the loss at completion recorded as other costs on the Phase 2 clinical trial conducted as part of the collaboration agreement with Nestlé. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the loss at completion was impacted by additional clinical and production costs following increasing timing to achieve upcoming milestones. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, there were no changes to the timing to completion.

In addition external clinical expenses decreased by $0.2 million as a result of differences in phasing of on-going clinical trials between the three months ended June 30, 2022 and the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Decreases in impacts of the loss at completion and in external clinical-related expenses were partially offset by the increase by $0.7 million in employee-related costs (excl. share-based payments) to support research and development activities (1) after the initiation of the VITESSE trial with the first patient screened in March 2023, and (2) as part of the new safety study for toddlers after the FDA confirmed additional safety data is required for BLA.

Sales and marketing expenses decreased by $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022, due to a decrease of external professional services and employee-related costs.

General and Administrative expenses

General and Administrative expenses increased by $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022, mainly due to one-time costs associated with financing activities, organizational planning, market research and planning activities. In addition, we recorded a provision amounting to $0.7 million as of June 30, 2023, as our best estimate of costs to be incurred if the Montrouge office lease agreement is not renewed at its July 2024 terms.

Our operating income consisted of the French research tax credit (Crédit d’Impôt Recherche, or “CIR”), and revenues recognized as part of our collaboration agreement with Nestlé Health Science. We generated operating income of $4.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $4.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

The increase in operating income was due to the increase by $0.7 million in the French research tax credit as both eligible employee-related costs and eligible external clinical-related expenses increased to support research and development activities (1) after the initiation of the VITESSE trial with the first patient screened in March 2023, and (2) as part of the new safety study for toddlers after the FDA confirmed additional safety data is required for BLA.

Table of Contents

The increase in research tax credit was partially offset by the decrease by $0.3 million in other operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022, after we updated the measurement of progress of the Phase 2 clinical trial conducted as part of the Nestlé’s collaboration agreement.

Research and Development expenses increased by $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to the increase by $2.9 million and by $1.5 million in external clinical-related expenses and in employee-related costs (excl. share-based payments) respectively, to support research and development activities (1) after the initiation of the VITESSE trial with the first patient screened in March 2023, and (2) as part of the new safety study for toddlers after the FDA confirmed additional safety data is required for BLA.

Increases in both external clinical-related expenses and employee-related costs were partially offset by the reversal of $1.1 million of the loss at completion recorded as other costs on the Phase 2 clinical trial conducted as part of the collaboration agreement with Nestlé. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the loss at completion was impacted by additional clinical and production costs following increasing timing to achieve upcoming milestones. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, there were no changes to the timing to completion.

Table of Contents

General and Administrative expenses increased by $3.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022, mainly due to one-time costs associated with financing activities, organizational planning, market research and planning activities. In addition, we recorded a provision amounting to $0.7 million as of June 30, 2023, as our best estimate of costs to be incurred if the Montrouge office lease agreement is not renewed at its July 2024 terms.

Financial income (expense)

Our financial income was $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to a financial income of $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. This item mainly includes financial income on our financial assets.

Income tax

Our income tax expense was nil for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022.

Net loss

Net loss was $ 44.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $39.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Net loss per share (based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding over the period) was $0.48 and $0.66 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Financial Condition

On June 30, 2023, we had $174 million in cash and cash equivalents compared to $209.2 million of cash and cash equivalents on December 31, 2022. We have incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception. Net cash used for operating activities was $ 46.4 million and $11.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, we recorded a net loss of $ 44.8 million. Our net cash flows provided by financing activities decreased to $7.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $195.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 due to more important financing operations in first semester of 2022 (May 2022 ATM and June 2022 PIPE) compared to 2023 (June 2023 ATM).

Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis assuming that based on our current operations, as well as our plans and assumptions, we expect that our balance of cash and cash equivalents at closing date will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months. As such, no adjustments have been made to the condensed consolidated 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.

Payments associated with Research tax credits (Crédit d’Impôt Recherche) contribute to fund our short-term cash requirements. 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.

In May 2022, we established an At-The-Market (“ATM”) program to offer and sell, including with unsolicited investors who have expressed an interest, a total gross amount of up to $100 million of American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), each ADS representing one-half of one ordinary share of the Company. The ATM program is intended to be effective through the expiration of the Company’s existing registration statement registering the ADSs to be issued under the ATM program, i.e. until July 16, 2024, unless terminated prior to such date in accordance with the sales agreement or the maximum amount of the program has been reached. The Company’s intent is to use the net proceeds, if any, of sales of ADSs issued under the program, together with its existing cash and cash equivalents, primarily for activities associated with potential approval and launch of Viaskin Peanut, as well as to advance the development of the Company’s product candidates using its Viaskin Peanut platform and for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

Pursuant to the ATM program, the Company issued and completed sales of new Ordinary Shares in the form of ADSs for a total gross amount of $15.3 million on May 4, 2022, and of $7.8 million on June 14, 2023. Respectively, 6,036,238 and 2,052,450 new Ordinary Shares in the form of ADSs were issued through a capital increase without preferential subscription rights of the shareholders reserved to specific categories of persons fulfilling certain characteristics (the “ATM issuance”), at a unit subscription price of $1.27 and $1.90 per ADS, each ADS giving the right to receive one-half of one ordinary share of the Company.

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. 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.

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 $0.8 million cash requirement as of June 30, 2023 which expires July 31, 2024.

Our primary U.S. office is located in Basking Ridge, New Jersey. In March 2022, we entered into a lease agreement, commencing on April 1, 2022 and effective for 38 months, for an office of 5,799 square feet in Basking Ridge, New Jersey. The Basking Ridge office represent a $0.1 million cash requirement as of June 30, 2023 which expires June 1, 2025.

There have been no material changes in our operating leases from those disclosed in the Annual Report.

Purchase obligations - Obligations Under the Terms of CRO Agreements

In connection with the launch of our clinical trials for Viaskin Peanut and Viaskin Milk, we signed agreements with several contract research organizations.

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

Operating Activities

Our net cash flows used in operating activities increased by $ 34.7 million, mainly due to the repayment in 2022 of the research tax credit receivable relating to fiscal years 2019 to 2021 for €24.8 million (corresponding to $28.1 million on the basis of 2021 closing exchange rate). The increase is also explained by the change in trade payables during the six months period ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months period ended June 30, 2022.

Investing Activities

Our net cash flows used in investing activities were $0.3 million and $0.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

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 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the 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 June 30, 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’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.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

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 in 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.

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

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we issued the following unregistered securities:

 

   

On March 23, 2023, the issuance of an aggregate of 10,174 ordinary shares to U.S. and non-U.S. employees upon settlement of RSUs;

 

   

On May 19, 2023, the issuance of an aggregate of 2,500 ordinary shares to a non-U.S. employee upon settlement of RSUs;

 

   

On May 22, 2023, the issuance of an aggregate of 14,364 ordinary shares to non-U.S. employees upon settlement of RSUs; and

 

   

On May 24, 2023, the issuance of an aggregate of 34,321 ordinary shares to U.S. and non-U.S. employees 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.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
The Company
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 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 2, 2023 (the “Annual Report”). The condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2022 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, 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, 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—operating lease, (4) impairment of
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, (7) estimate of contingencies, and (8) estimate of employee benefits obligations.
Accounting Pronouncements adopted in 2023
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. Adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU
2021-08,
which amends ASC 805 to require acquiring entities to apply Topic 606 to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination. This amendment is effective for public business entities for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Adoption of this new standard has no impact on the 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.

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 receipt of the Complete Response 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 (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 Phase 1 clinical trials in healthy adult volunteers:
 
  a.
PREQUAL, a Phase 1 study 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 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 Phase 1 trial in healthy adult volunteers to evaluate the adhesion of five modified Viaskin Peanut patches. The Company 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 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 on 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 sequential 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. As such, in December 2021, the Company announced its 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 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.
 
In 2022, the Company announced the new Phase 3 pivotal study for modified Viaskin Peanut (mVP) patch would be in younger
(4-7
years old) and more sensitive children with peanut allergy.
On September 7, 2022, the Company announced the initiation of VITESSE, a new Phase 3 pivotal study of the modified Viaskin Peanut (mVP) patch in children ages
4-7
years with peanut allergy. We defined initiation as the submission of the trial protocol to selected study sites for subsequent Institution
al
Review Board (IRB)/Ethics Committee (EC) approval.
On September 21, 2022, the Company announced it received feedback from the U.S. FDA in the form of a partial clinical hold on VITESSE. In the partial clinical hold letter, the FDA specified changes to elements of the VITESSE protocol, acknowledging 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 FDA stated that VITESSE may proceed with the revised trial protocol.
On March 2, 2023, the Company 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 scores. EVOLVE verified that the eDiary tool can be used by caregivers in VITESSE to capture the adhesion data in support of a potential BLA.
On March 7, 2023, the Company announced that the first patient was screened in the VITESSE study. Screening of the last patient is anticipated in the first half in 2024 and topline results in the first half in 2025.
On April 19, 2023, the Company outlined
the
regulatory path for Viaskin Peanut in children
1-3
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 augment the safety data collected from EPITOPE in support of a BLA. This new safety study will also generate patch adhesion data and will include updated instructions for use.
Viaskin Peanut for children ages
4-11—European
Union Regulatory History and Current Status
On August 2, 2021, the Company announced it received from the European 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.
On 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 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 clinical 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 clinical 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.
Viaskin Peanut for children ages
1-3
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 µg 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.
 
In June 2022, the Company announced positive topline results from Part B of EPITOPE, which enrolled 362 subjects ages 1 to 3 years, of which 244 and 118 were in the active and placebo arms respectively. Enrollment was balance for age and baseline disease characteristics between the active and placebo treatment arms.
On April 19, 2023,
the Company announced it will begin a new safety study after it received confirmation from the FDA that the EPITOPE study meets the
 
pre-specified
 
criteria for success for the primary endpoint, with no additional efficacy study requested. This safety study will increase the safety data collected from EPITOPE in support of a BLA. It will also generate patch adhesion data and will include updated instructions for use.
On May 10, 2023, the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) published results that demonstrated epicutaneous immunotherapy (EPIT) with VP was statistically superior to placebo in desensitizing children to peanut
exposure
by increasing the peanut dose that triggers allergic symptoms. As stated in an accompanying editorial piece, these data are seen as “very good news” for toddlers with peanut allergy, as there are currently no approved treatment options for peanut-allergic children under the age of 4 years. Following this publication, the Company confirmed it is advancing regulatory efforts for VP in toddlers ages
1-3
years old with a confirmed peanut allergy.
Viaskin Peanut for Children ages

In 2022 and during the first six months of 2023, the Company updated its measurement of progress of the Phase 2 clinical trial (“PII”) conducted as part of the collaboration and license agreement with Nestlé Health Sciences and updated the cumulative income recognized. The Company recognized a reversal of $1.1 million of the loss for completion recorded in the amount of the excess between the Company’s current best estimates of costs yet to be incurred and income yet to be recognized for the completion of the PII.
The other contingencies mainly consisted of a provision for refurbishment amounting to the best estimate of costs to be incurred in case the Montrouge office lease agreement is not renewed at its July 2024 term.

The increase in operating income was primarily due to the increase in the research and development costs eligible to research tax credit in France.
The Company recognizes as other operating income accrued revenues based on its updated measurement of progress of the Phase 2 clinical trial conducted as part of the collaboration agreement with Nestlé. Moreover, the loss for completion recorded in the amount of the difference between the Company’s current best estimates of costs yet to be incurred and revenues yet to be recognized for the completion of the Phase 2 clinical trial was updated accordingly as of June 30, 2023 (see note 9 related to contingencies).

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
Loss Per Share
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- and
six-month
periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, 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 June 30, 2023 and 2022 indicated in number of potential shares:

The Company (Policies)

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation
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 2, 2023 (the “Annual Report”). The condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2022 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, 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, 2023, or any other future period.
Use of estimates
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 of
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, (7) estimate of contingencies, and (8) estimate of employee benefits obligations.
Accounting Pronouncements adopted in 2023
Accounting Pronouncements adopted in 2023
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. Adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU
2021-08,
which amends ASC 805 to require acquiring entities to apply Topic 606 to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination. This amendment is effective for public business entities for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Adoption of this new standard has no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Pronouncements issued not yet adopted
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.
