The Company
Note 1: The Company
Incorporated in 2002 under the laws of France, DBV Technologies S.A. (“DBV Technologies” or the “Company”) 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 7, 2024 (the “ Annual Report”). The condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2023 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, 2023.
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, 2024, 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 wind-down activities resulting from the termination 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.
Going Concern
These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The going concern assumption contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern exists.
Since its inception, the Company has primarily funded its operations with equity financings, and, to a lesser extent, public assistance aimed at supporting innovation and payments associated with research tax credits (Crédit d’Impôt Recherche). The Company does not generate product revenue and continues to prepare for the potential launch of its first product in the United States and in the European Union, if approved.
The Company has incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception. As of the date of the filing, our available cash and cash equivalents are not projected to be sufficient to support our operating plan for at least the next 12 months. As such, there is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.
Based on our current operations, as well as our plans and assumptions, we expect that our balance of cash and cash equivalents of $66.2 million as of June 30, 2024 will be sufficient to fund our operations into the first quarter 2025.
The Company intends to seek additional capital as it prepares for the launch of Viaskin Peanut, if approved, and continues other research and development efforts. The Company will require substantial additional capital to fund its research and development and ongoing operating expenses. These capital requirements are expected to be funded through debt and equity offerings. The Company may seek to finance its 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.
The Company cannot guarantee that it will be able to obtain the necessary financing to meet its needs or to obtain funds at attractive terms and conditions, including as a result of disruptions to the global financial markets due to any future pandemics, epidemics or global health crises and conflict in Ukraine or other global political or military crises. A severe or prolonged economic downturn could result in a variety of risks to the Company, including reduced ability to raise additional capital when needed or on acceptable terms, if at all.
 
If the Company is not successful in its financing objectives, the Company could have to scale back its operations, notably by delaying or reducing the scope of its research and development efforts or obtain financing through arrangements with collaborators or others that may require the Company to relinquish rights to its product candidates that the Company might otherwise seek to develop or commercialize independently.
These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying amounts and classification of assets, liabilities, and reported expenses that may be necessary if the Company was unable to continue as a going concern.
