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, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC on March 9, 2022. Additional information is also included on our Current Report on Form
8-K,
filed with the SEC on June 13, 2022. As a result of the risks and uncertainties, the results or events indicated by the forward-looking statements may not occur. Undue reliance should not be placed on any forward-looking statement. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.
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. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or investments we may make.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Note 1: The Company
Incorporated in 2002 under the laws of France, DBV Technologies S.A. (“DBV Technologies,” or the “Company”, or the “group”) is a clinical-stage specialty biopharmaceutical company focused on changing the field of immunotherapy by developing a novel technology platform called Viaskin
. The Company’s therapeutic approach is based on epicutaneous immunotherapy, or EPIT
, a proprietary method of delivering biologically active compounds to the immune system through intact skin using Viaskin
.
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and are presented in 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, 2022 (the “Annual Report”). The condensed consolidated statement of financial position at December 31, 2021 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.
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, 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, and (7) estimate of contingencies.
Accounting Pronouncements adopted in 2022
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 impact of the guidance on its Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company does not expect this new standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
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.

Viaskin
TM
Peanut for children ages
4-11
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 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 studies:
 
  a.
PREQUAL, a Phase I study with adult healthy volunteers to optimize the allergen sample collection methodologies and validate the assays we intend to use in EQUAL
 
  b.
‘EQUAL in adults’—a second Phase I study with adult healthy volunteers to compare the allergen uptake of cVP and Mvp;
In March 2021, the Company commenced CHAMP (Comparison of adHesion Among Modified Patches), a trial in healthy adult volunteers to evaluate the adhesion of five modified Viaskin Peanut patches, to identify the one or two best-performing patches, which the Company completed in the second quarter of 2021. Based on the adhesion parameters studied, the Company selected the modified patch to advance to further clinical testing in the intended patient population. All modified Viaskin Peanut patches demonstrated better adhesion performance as compared to the then-current Viaskin Peanut patch, and the Company then selected two modified patches that performed best out of the five modified patches studied for further development. The Company then selected the circular patch for further development, which is 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 it a Type C meeting to align on the protocol and the study protocol was submitted to the FDA as part of the the Type C meeting briefing package.
 
DBV continues to engage in productive dialogue with the FDA on the key elements of the VITESSE protocol. As previously disclosed, the Company will communicate key elements of the VITESSE trial design and projected timelines once this process has concluded.

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 has 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 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 Pg 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.
In June 2022, the Company announced that its pivotal Phase III trial EPITOPE, assessing the safety 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 subjects in the Viaskin Peanut arm meeting the 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 %).
DBV intends to further analyze the data from EPITOPE and explore regulatory pathways for Viaskin Peanut in children ages 1 to 3 years, given the high unmet need and absence of approved treatments for this vulnerable population.
Financing
In May 2022, the Company announced that pursuant to the Company’s
At-The-Market
program established in May 2022 (the “ATM Program”), it had issued and completed sales of new ordinary shares (the “Ordinary Shares”) in form of American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), for a total gross amount of $15.3 million. In this context, 6,036,238 new Ordinary Shares in form of ADS have been 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 dollar per ADS (i.e., a subscription price per Ordinary Share of 2.41 euro based on the USD/EUR exchange rate of 1.0531 dollar for 1 euro, as published by the European Central Bank on May 4, 2022) and each ADS giving the right to receive
one-half
of one ordinary share of the Company).
In June 2022, the Company announced an aggregate $194 million private investment in public equity (PIPE) financing (corresponding to €181 million on the basis of an exchange rate of $1.0739 = €1.00 published by the European Central Bank on June 8, 2022) from the sale of 32,855,669 ordinary shares, as well as
pre-funded
warrants to purchase up to 28,276,331 ordinary shares. The ordinary shares were sold to the purchasers at a price per ordinary share of €3.00 (corresponding to $3.22), and the
pre-funded
warrants were sold to the purchasers at a
pre-funded
price of €2.90 (corresponding to $3.11) per
pre-funded
warrant, which equals the per share price for the ordinary shares less the remaining €0.10 exercise price for each such
pre-funded
warrant. Gross proceeds from the PIPE financing total approximately $194 million (corresponding to €181 million), before deducting private placement expenses.
The ordinary shares, including the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of
the pre-funded warrants
from the PIPE financing, have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. The Company has agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission registering the resale of the ordinary shares, including the ordinary shares underlying
the pre-funded warrants.

Following the financing operations carried out in the first half of 2022, the Company has cash and cash equivalent to support the Company’s operations several months beyond the projected completion of VITESSE, the planned Phase 3 clinical study of the modified Viaskin
Peanut patch in peanut allergic children ages 4 years and older.
COVID-19
Pandemic
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared
COVID-19
a pandemic. This global health crisis led many countries to impose national containment measures and travel bans. In view of this exceptional situation, the Company decided to take all measures aimed primarily at guaranteeing the safety of its employees and the continuation of ongoing clinical trials, in compliance with the directives of the authorities in each country. The Company has experienced a decrease in new patients enrolling in the ongoing clinical studies and it has had to adapt the protocols of its clinical trials because patients remain subject to travel restrictions.
The Company has assessed the impact of the uncertainties created by the pandemic. As of June 30, 2022, those uncertainties were taken into account in the assumptions underlying the estimates and judgments used by the Company. The Company continues to update these estimates and assumptions as the situation evolves. The effects of the
COVID-19
pandemic are presented in the relevant line items of the condensed consolidated statement of financial position and the condensed consolidated statement of operations according to the function or nature of the income or expense.

Legal Proceedings
A class action complaint was filed on January 15, 2019 in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, entitled Travis
Ito-Stone
v. DBV Technologies, et al., Case No.
2:19-cv-00525.
The complaint alleged that the Company and its former Chief Executive Officer, its current Chief Executive Officer, and its former Deputy Chief Executive Officer violated certain federal securities laws, specifically under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, and Rule
10b-5
promulgated thereunder. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages on behalf of a purported class of purchasers of the Company’s securities between February 14, 2018 and August 4, 2020 and also held the Company’s securities on December 20, 2018 and/or March 16, 2020 and/or August 4, 2020.
A hearing was held on July 29, 2021 in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey where the Court entered an order granting the Company’s Motion to Dismiss the Second Amended Class Action Complaint without prejudice. As the dismissal was without prejudice, the Plaintiffs replead their case by filing a Third Amended Class Action Complaint on September 30, 2021 in the same Court. The company moved to dismiss third amended complaint on December 10, 2021.
On July 29, 2022 the Court entered an order granting the Company’s Motion to Dismiss the Plaintiff’s Third Amended Complaint with prejudice. The Court indicated that the Third Amended Complaint was deficient in a number of ways, failing to allege a violation of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and ordered the matter closed. Per court procedural rules, the Plaintiffs have 30 days to appeal the dismissal of the Third Amended.
The Company believes that the allegations contained in the amended complaint are without merit and will continue to defend the case vigorously. The Company believes this complaint will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

of authority granted by the Board of Directors of the Company on June 8, 2022, after receiving the favorable opinion of the Pricing Committee established by the Board of Directors, has, on June 9, 2022 :
 
   
decided, making use of the 18
th
resolution of the Board General Meeting, to proceed with a capital increase in cash with cancellation of preferential subscription rights reserved for categories of investors, in accordance with the Article L.

decided to set the maximum nominal amount of the capital increase resulting from the full exercise of the prefunded warrants at € 2,827,633.10, by issuing a maximum of 28,276,331 ordinary shares, with a value of € 0.10 to be subscribed in cash at the price of € 0.10 euro (without share premium), and to be fully paid up at the time of subscription, i.e. a capital increase of a maximum nominal amount of € 2,827,633.10 (and a share premium corresponding to the amount of the
pre-financed
price released in advance at the time of the subscription of the prefunded warrants ), being specified that this amount does not take into account the nominal value of the ordinary shares to be issued in order to preserve the rights of the holders of securities giving access to the capital issued or to be issued, in accordance with the legal and regulatory provisions and the contractual stipulations providing for other cases of adjustment if necessary;
 
   
determined the list of beneficiaries (designated within each of the categories of persons defined in the 18
th
resolution of the Board General Meeting) and the number of New Ordinary Shares and warrants allocated to each of them under the conditions defined in the 18th resolution of the Board General Meeting beneficiaries under the conditions defined in section 5 of the offering circular relating to the Issu
e
.
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

The decrease in personnel expenses is mainly due to a decrease in headcount following the full implementation of the new organization.
Note 12: Commitments
There have been no significant changes in other commitments from those disclosed in Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report.
Note 13: Relationships with Related Parties
The Company’s related parties consist exclusively of the members of the Board of Directors and the members of the Executive Committee. As of June 30, 2022, the total amount of remuneration granted to the members of the Board of Directors and Executive Committee has not changed significantly since December 31, 2021.
There were no new significant related-party transactions during the period nor any change in the nature of the transactions from those described in Note 19 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, 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.

Note 15: Events after the Close of the Period
As previously disclosed, a class action complaint was filed in January 2019 in the U.S. District Court, District of New Jersey, alleging that the Company and certain current and former executive officers violated certain U.S. federal securities laws. Plaintiffs filed a Third Amended Complaint on September 30, 2021. On July 29, 2022 the Court entered an order granting the Company’s Motion to Dismiss the Plaintiff’s Third Amended Complaint with prejudice. The Court indicated that the Third Amended Complaint was deficient in a number of ways, failing to allege a violation of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and ordered the matter closed. Per court procedural rules, the Plaintiffs have 30 days to appeal the dismissal of the Third Amended Complaint. The Company believes that the allegations contained in the complaint are without merit and will continue to defend the case vigorously. The Company evaluated no other subsequent events that occurred after June 30, 2022, through the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued after their approval by the Board of Directors on July 29, 2022 and determined that there are no significant events that require adjustments or disclosure in such condensed consolidated financial statements.

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, 2021, included in our Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 9, 2022, or the Annual Report. This discussion and other parts of this Report contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause such differences are discussed in the section of this Report titled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Annual Report.
Overview
We are a clinical-stage specialty biopharmaceutical company focused on changing the field of immunotherapy by developing a novel technology platform called Viaskin. Our therapeutic approach is based on epicutaneous immunotherapy, or EPIT
TM
, our proprietary method of delivering biologically active compounds to the immune system through intact skin using Viaskin. We have generated significant data demonstrating that Viaskin’s mechanism of action is novel and differentiated, as it targets specific antigen-presenting immune cells in the skin, called Langerhans cells, that capture the antigen and migrate to the lymph node in order to activate the immune system without passage of the antigen into the bloodstream, minimizing systemic exposure in the body. We are advancing this unique technology to treat patients, including infants and children, suffering from food allergies, for whom safety is paramount, since the introduction of the offending allergen into their bloodstream can cause severe or life-threatening allergic reactions, such as anaphylactic shock. We believe Viaskin may offer convenient, self-administered,
non-invasive
immunotherapy to patients. Our most advanced clinical program is Viaskin Peanut.

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 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:
 
  4.
Identify a modified Viaskin patch (which the Company calls mVP).
 
  5.
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.
 
  6.
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:
 
  c.
PREQUAL, a Phase I study with adult healthy volunteers to optimize the allergen sample collection methodologies and validate the assays we intend to use in EQUAL
 
  d.
‘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.

Table of Contents
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 it a Type C meeting to align on the protocol and the study protocol was submitted to the FDA as part of the the Type C meeting briefing package.
 
DBV continues to engage in productive dialogue with the FDA on the key elements of the VITESSE protocol. As previously disclosed, the Company will communicate key elements of the VITESSE trial design and projected timelines once this process has concluded.

- 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 has 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 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 Pg 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.
In June 2022, The Company announced that its pivotal Phase III trial EPITOPE, assessing the safety 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 subjects in the Viaskin Peanut arm meeting the 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 %).
DBV intends to further analyze the data from EPITOPE and explore regulatory pathways for Viaskin Peanut in children ages 1 to 3 years, given the high unmet need and absence of approved treatments for this vulnerable population.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the revenue, costs and expenses recognized during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
There have been no new policies or significant changes to our critical accounting policies as disclosed in the critical accounting policies described in the Annual Report. Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of our Annual Report.

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

dit
d
Iimp
ô
t
Recherche
, or “CIR”), and by the revenue recognized under our collaboration agreement with Nestlé Health Science. We generated operating income of $1.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $(1.5) million during the three months ended June 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 three months ended June 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 of eligible expenses in connection with Research and Development costs.

Research and Development expenses decreased by $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to an increase in external clinical-related expenses following the launch of work on VITESSE protocol. We have also continued to practice financial discipline and implemented further cost containment strategies.
Employee-related costs, excluding share-based payment expenses, decreased by $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021 due to the workforce reduction following full implementation of the new organization.
The decrease in depreciation, amortization and other costs was primarily due to the loss at completion recorded on the Phase II clinical trial conducted as part of the Nestlé agreement.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Financial Condition
On June 30, 2022, we had $248 million in cash and cash equivalents compared to $77.3 million of cash and cash equivalents on December 31, 2021. We have incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception. Net cash used for operating activities was $12.3 and $66.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of June 30, 2022, we recorded a net loss of $23 million.Our net cash flows provided by financing activities increased to $195.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 from $1.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021. Financing activities consisted mainly of our underwritten global offering in the second quarter of 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.
As of the date of the filing, our available cash is projected to be sufficient to support our operating plan for at least the next 12 months.
In May 2022, the Company announced that pursuant to the Company’s ATM program, it had issued and completed sales of new Ordinary Shares in the form of ADSs, for a total gross amount of $15.3 million.
In June 2022, the Company announced an aggregate $194 million PIPE financing (corresponding to €181 million on the basis of an exchange rate of $1.0739 = €1.00 published by the European Central Bank on June 8, 2022) from the sale of 32,855,669 Ordinary Shares, as well as
pre-funded
warrants to purchase up to 28,276,331 Ordinary Shares.
We cannot guarantee that we will be able to obtain the necessary financing to meet our needs or to obtain funds at attractive terms and conditions, including as a result of disruptions to the global financial markets due to the ongoing
COVID-19
pandemic. 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.

Future events could cause actual payments to differ from these estimates.
Conditional advances
In 2014, BpiFrance Financement granted an interest-free Innovation loan to DBV Technologies to help finance the pharmaceutical development of Viaskin
Milk. This amount was received in a single disbursement on November 27, 2014. In 2020, due to the
COVID-19
pandemic, Bpifrance postponed the repayments for a
6-month
period. Repayment will end during the third quarter of 2022.
Operating leases
Our corporate headquarters are located in Montrouge, France. Our principal offices occupy a 4,470 square meter facility, pursuant to a lease agreement dated March 3, 2015 and represents a $3.5 million cash requirement as of June 30, 2022 which expires March 8, 2024.
We also have facilities in North America that were initially intended to support our U.S. subsidiary as well as future commercialization needs. We lease 3,780 square feet of office space in Tower 49, New York, New York. This lease is for a period of 65 months and expires on February 25, 2023. In light of our global restructuring, the current stage of regulatory interactions regarding Viaskin Peanut, and the ongoing
COVID-19
pandemic, we entered into a sublease agreement of this office space in June 2021. The NYC office represents a $0.3 million cash requirement as of June 30, 2022 until the first quarter of 2023.
On March 28, 2022, the Company entered into a binding office lease agreement in New Jersey for a lease term of 3 years and 2 months. The lease commencement was based upon delivery of possession of the premises by the Landlord and occurred on April 1, 2022. The principal offices occupy a 5,799 square meter facility, and represents a $0.4 million cash requirement as of June 30, 2022 which expires May 1, 2025.
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. Expenses associated with the ongoing trials amounted globally to $105.5 million. As of June 30, 2022, the amount we are still obligated to pay in connection with these contracts through 2024 is $30.6 million.

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
Our market risks have not changed materially from those disclosed in the Annual Report.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based on its evaluation as of June 30, 2022, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule
13a-15(e)
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 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 set forth below, 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. We entered into a registration rights agreement with the investors pursuant to which we agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC registering the resale of the 32,855,669 Ordinary shares and the 28,276,331 Ordinary shares underlying the
pre-funded
warrants issued in the PIPE. Upon the effectiveness of this registration statement and subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations contained in the
pre-funded
warrants, these shares will be 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 six months ended June 30, 2022, 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 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.
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.
 
   
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.
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.
