DBV Technologies Reports Third Quarter 2024
Financial Results

DBV closes Q3 2024 with a cash balance of $46.4 million; cash runway
into Q1 2025


DBV Technologies (Euronext: DBV – ISIN: FR0010417345 – Nasdaq Stock Market:
DBVT – CUSIP: 23306J200), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, today
reported financial results for the third quarter of 2024. The quarterly and nine
months financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on
November 6, 2024.


Financial Highlights for the third quarter Ended September 30, 2024


The Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine
months ended September 30, 2024, are prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).


Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents amounted to $46.4 million as of September 30, 2024,
compared to $141.4 million as of December 31, 2023, a net decrease of $95.0 million.
This decrease includes $92.2 million in operating activities, mainly in external clinical
trial related expenses, notably progress on patient enrollment in VITESSE Phase 3
clinical trial, as well as Regulatory and Manufacturing activities to support ongoing
clinical trials.


The Company has incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from
operations since inception. As of the date of the filling, DBV’s available cash and cash
equivalents will not be sufficient to support our operating plan for at least the next
12 months. As such, there is substantial doubt regarding its ability to continue as a
going concern.
Based on its current operations, plans and assumptions, the Company expects that
its balance of cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund its operations into
Q1 2025.


The Company intends to seek additional capital as it continues research and
development efforts and prepares for the launch of Viaskin Peanut, if approved.
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 or fluctuations of the global financial markets
due to various factors outside the Company's control. 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.

that may be necessary if the Company was unable to continue as a going concern.


Operating Income
Until the end of 2023, our operating income was composed of both the French
Research Tax Credit scheme (Crédit d’Impôt Recherche, or “CIR”) and the revenue
recognized under the Collaboration Agreement with NESTEC. Following the
termination of the Collaboration Agreement on October 30, 2023, our operating
income is now exclusively generated by the French Research Tax Credit.


Operating income amounted to $3.6 million for the 9 months ended September 30,
2024, compared with $6.9 million for the same period in 2023. This decrease by
$3.2 million is composed of (1) $1.9 million following the termination of the
Collaboration Agreement with NESTEC, and (2) a lower Research Tax Credit
entitlement as a greater proportion of studies activities are carried out in North
America by $1.3 million

Operating Expenses
Operating expenses amounted to $96.4 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2024, compared with $71.4 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2023, an increase by $25.0 million. This increase is primarily driven by
Research & Development for $23.0 million resulting from (1) patient enrollment in
VITESSE Phase 3 clinical trial, (2) preparatory activities for the COMFORT studies in
anticipation of initiation after FDA alignment, (3) Regulatory and Manufacturing
activities to support ongoing clinical trials.
General and Administrative expenses increased by $1.4 million during the nine
months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 2023, mainly due to one-time costs associated with (1) office moves
in France and the U.S., (2) financing activities and (3) trademark and patent activities.

About DBV Technologies
DBV Technologies is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing treatment
options for food allergies and other immunologic conditions with significant unmet medical
need. DBV is currently focused on investigating the use of its proprietary technology
platform, Viaskin, to address food allergies, which are caused by a hypersensitive immune
reaction and characterized by a range of symptoms varying in severity from mild to life-
threatening anaphylaxis. Millions of people live with food allergies, including young children.
Through epicutaneous immunotherapy (EPIT™), the Viaskin platform is designed to
introduce microgram amounts of a biologically active compound to the immune system
through intact skin. EPIT is a new class of non-invasive treatment that seeks to modify an
individual’s underlying allergy by re-educating the immune system to become desensitized
to allergen by leveraging the skin’s immune tolerizing properties. DBV is committed to
transforming the care of food allergic people. The Company’s food allergy programs include
ongoing clinical trials of Viaskin Peanut in peanut allergic toddlers (1 through 3 years of age)
and children (4 through 7 years of age).


DBV Technologies is headquartered in Châtillon, France, with North American operations in
Warren, NJ. The Company’s ordinary shares are traded on segment B of Euronext Paris
(Ticker: DBV, ISIN code: FR0010417345) and the Company’s ADSs (each representing one
ordinary share) are traded on the Nasdaq Capital Select Market (Ticker: DBVT – CUSIP:
23306J200).
