This Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q
(“Form

contains forward-looking statements which are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These statements may be identified by such forward-looking terminology as “may,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue” or variations of these words or similar expressions that are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. 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:
•
statements regarding the impact of the ongoing
COVID-19
pandemic and its effects on our operations, research and development and clinical trials and potential disruption in the operations and business of third-party manufacturers, contract research organizations, other service providers and collaborators with whom we conduct business;

our expectations regarding the timing or likelihood of regulatory filings and approvals, including with respect to our anticipated
re-submission
of a Biologics License Application for Viaskin

•
the initiation, timing, progress and results of our
pre-clinical
studies and clinical trials, and our research and development programs;
•
the sufficiency of existing capital resources;
•
our business model and our other strategic plans for our business, product candidates and technology;
•
our ability to manufacture clinical and commercial supplies of our product candidates and comply with regulatory requirements related to the manufacturing of our product candidates;

the rate and degree of market acceptance of Viaskin Peanut and/or our other product candidates, if approved, by physicians, patients, third-party payors and others in the medical community;
•
our ability to advance product candidates into, and successfully complete, clinical trials;
•
the scope of protection we are able to establish and maintain for intellectual property rights covering our product candidates and technology;

•
the potential benefits of strategic collaboration agreements and our ability to enter into strategic arrangements;
•
our ability to maintain and establish collaborations or obtain additional grant funding;

developments relating to our competitors and our industry, including competing therapies; and
•
other risks and uncertainties, including those listed under the caption “Risk Factors.” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.
Although we believe that we have a reasonable basis for each forward-looking statement contained in this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q,
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, 2020, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 17, 2021. 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.
In addition, any forward-looking statement in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q represents our views only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and should not be relied upon as representing our views as of any subsequent date. 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 17, 2021 (the “Annual Report”). The condensed consolidated statement of financial position at December 31, 2020 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, 2020.
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, 2021, 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.
Going concern
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 (
Cr
é
dit d
’
Imp
ô
t Recherche
or “CIR”). 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.
Following receipt of a Complete Response Letter (“CRL”) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) in connection with its Biologics License Application (“BLA”) for Viaskin
™
Peanut, beginning in August 2020, the Company scaled down its other clinical programs and
pre-clinical
spend to focus on Viaskin
™
Peanut. The Company also initiated a global restructuring plan in June 2020 to provide operational latitude to progress the clinical development and regulatory review of Viaskin
™
Peanut in the United States and European Union. Based on guidance received from the FDA in January 2021, the Company’s plans to implement such guidance, and expected cost savings from implementation of the global restructuring plan, the Company expects that its current balance of cash and cash equivalents
of $
125.5
million as of June 30, 2021 will be sufficient to fund its operations for at least the next 12 months.
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 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. As a result of disruptions to the global financial markets due to the ongoing
COVID-19
pandemic, 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. The ongoing
COVID-19
pandemic has already caused extreme volatility and disruptions in the capital and credit markets. 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.

Accounting Pronouncements adopted in 2021
Effective January 1, 2021, the Company adopted ASU
2019-12, Income
Taxes (Topic 740)—Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify accounting for income taxes. It removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. The adoption of ASU
2019-12
did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
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.
Note 2: Significant Events and Transactions
Clinical programs
Viaskin
TM
Peanut for children ages
4-11
in the United States
In January 2020, the Company announced positive topline results of the three-year, open-label extension of its Phase III PEPITES trial, or PEOPLE trial, evaluating the long-term efficacy and safety of investigational Viaskin Peanut in peanut-allergic children ages 4 to 11 years. The results demonstrated long-term clinical benefit as shown by an increase in eliciting dose (“ED”), which may decrease the chance of reacting to an accidental peanut exposure. After three years, the Company observed that
75.9
% (
107
/
141
) of patients had increased their ED from baseline, and
51.8
% (
73
/
141
) of patients reached an ED of at least 1,000 mg peanut protein by year three. The safety profile of Viaskin Peanut was consistent with that observed in the clinical program to date in over
1,000
patients. During the PEOPLE trial, the most common adverse events were mild to moderate skin reactions localized to the administration site, and there was no epinephrine use deemed related to treatment. No treatment related serious adverse events were reported. One patient experienced one case of mild anaphylaxis that was determined by the investigator to be possibly related to treatment and resolved without anti-anaphylactic treatment. Treatment compliance remained high throughout the study at a mean of
98
% over three years of treatment. Low discontinuations due to adverse events were observed.
In February 2020, the FDA announced an Allergenic Products Advisory Committee meeting to be held on May 15, 2020 to discuss the Biologics License Application (BLA) for Viaskin Peanut. On March 16, 2020, the Company announced that the FDA had informed the Company that during its ongoing review of the Company’s BLA for Viaskin Peanut, it had identified questions regarding efficacy, including the impact of patch-site adhesion. Therefore, the Advisory Committee meeting to discuss the BLA originally scheduled on May 15, 2020 was cancelled.
On August 4, 2020, the Company announced that the FDA has issued a Complete Response Letter, or CRL, in which the FDA indicated it could not approve the Viaskin Peanut BLA in its current form. The FDA identified concerns regarding the impact of patch-site adhesion on efficacy and indicated the need for patch modifications, and subsequently a new human factor study. The FDA also indicated that supplementary clinical data would need to be generated to support the modified patch. In addition, the FDA requested additional Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls, or CMC, data. The FDA did not raise any safety concerns related to Viaskin Peanut.
On January 13, 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 CRL. The Company believes the FDA feedback provides a well-defined regulatory path forward. In exchanges with the FDA, the Company proposed potential resolutions to two main concerns identified by the FDA in the CRL: the impact of patch adhesion and the need for patch modifications. The FDA agreed with the Company’s 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 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 modified patches, the FDA has requested an assessment comparing the uptake of allergen (peanut protein) between the patches in peanut allergic children ages 4 to 11 years. The FDA also recommended conducting a
6
-month,
well-controlled safety and adhesion trial to assess the modified Viaskin Peanut patch in the intended patient population.
In the second quarter of 2021, the Company completed CHAMP (Comparison of adHesion Among Modified Patches), a trial in healthy adult volunteers to evaluate the adhesion of five modified Viaskin Peanut patches in order to identify the top performers. Based on the adhesion parameters studied, the Company was pleased to learn that all modified Viaskin Peanut patches demonstrated better adhesion performance as compared to the current Viaskin Peanut patch. The Company then selected two modified patches that performed best out of the five modified patches studied for further development.
The difference between the two selected patches is their shape—one is circular and the other is rectangular with rounded corners. They are both approximately 50% larger than the current patch but maintain the same structure of the occlusion chamber (i.e., foam ring and backing). The Company also conducted advisory boards with patient caregivers and key opinion leaders to obtain qualitative feedback on the consumer experience with both patches.
The Company submitted the protocol for STAMP (Safety, Tolerability and Adhesion of Modified Patches), the 6-month adhesion and safety study of the modified patch, to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the second quarter of 2021 and is currently awaiting feedback.
Earlier this quarter, the Company initiated PREQUAL, a Phase 1 study in healthy adult volunteers to optimize the allergen sample collection methodologies and validate the assays DBV intends to use in EQUAL (EQuivalence in the Uptake of ALlergen). The Company continues to work closely with FDA on how to best demonstrate the protein transport comparability of the modified patch (mVP) to the reference patch (cVP).
Viaskin
TM
Peanut for children ages 4-11 in Europe
On November 2, 2020, the Company announced that its Marketi
n
g
Authorization Application, or MAA, for Viaskin Peanut had been validated by the European Medicines Agency, or EMA. The validation of the MAA confirmed that the submission was sufficiently complete to begin the formal review process for Viaskin Peanut to treat peanut allergies in children ages
4
to
11
years. The Company received the first set of questions from the EMA, during the first quarter of 2021, which were consistent with the Company’s expectations
7
Table of Contents
and prefiling conversations with the EMA. The Company did not receive questions about the impact of adhesion on efficacy. The EMA’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use will provide a recommendation to the European Commission, or EC, on whether to grant a marketing authorization when its review of the Viaskin Peanut MAA is complete.
In July 2021, the Company received from the EMA Day 180 list of outstanding issues. The review of the Viaskin Peanut MAA is progressing according to established EMA processes and ongoing conversations with the EMA.
Many of EMA’s Objections and Major Objections have been answered; One Major Objection remains. The Company will provide a response to address the outstanding issues, including the mentioned Major Objection.
Based on the average length of an EMA evaluation of an MAA, the Company estimates the EMA could issue its decision on potential marketing authorization for Viaskin Peanut in the fourth quarter of 2021 or the first quarter of 2022.
Viaskin Peanut for children ages
1-3
On June 26, 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.
Financing
On February 4, 2020, the Company announced the closing of an underwritten global offering of an aggregate of
7,500,000
ordinary shares in (i) a public offering of
4,535,581
ordinary shares in the form of
9,071,162
American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) in the United States, Canada and certain countries outside Europe at a public offering price of $
10.25
per ADS (on the basis of an exchange rate of $
1.0999
= €1.00), and (ii) an offering exclusively addressed to qualified investors in Europe (including France) of
2,964,419
ordinary shares at an offering price of €
18.63
per ordinary share (together, the “Global Offering”).
On March 2, 2020, the Company announced that the underwriters partially exercised their option to purchase
338,687
additional ordinary shares in the form of
677,374
ADSs at an offering price of $
10.25
per ADS, before deducting commissions and estimated offering expenses (the “Option”). The Option closed on March 4, 2020.
Consequently, following partial exercise of the Option, the total number of ordinary shares sold in the global offering was
7,838,687
ordinary shares, including
4,874,268
ordinary shares in the form of
9,748,536
ADSs, bringing the total gross proceeds from the global offering to $
160.7
million and net proceeds of $
150.0
million.
Restructuring
The Company initiated a global restructuring plan in June 2020 to provide operational latitude to progress in the clinical development and regulatory review of investigational Viaskin Peanut in the United States and European Union. The Company expects full implementation of the organization-wide costs reduction measures to be completed
in
the second half of 2021.
The following table summarizes restructuring activities as of June 30, 2021 included in current contingencies and other current liabilities in the statement of financial position:

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, 2021, 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 March 16, 2020.
On July 29, 2021, immediately after a hearing with the court, the U.S. District Court, District of New Jersey entered an order granting the Company’s Motion to Dismiss the Second Amended Class Action Complaint without prejudice. The Court indicated that the Second Amended Complaint was deficient in a number of ways and granted Plaintiffs until September 30 to amend the complaint to try to cure the deficiencies.
The Company believes that the allegations contained in the amended complaint are without merit and will 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.

In 2020 and during the first six months of 2021, the ongoing
COVID-19
pandemic impacted the Company’s current clinical trials, including the Phase II clinical trial conducted as part of the development activities pursuant to the collaboration and license agreement with Nestlé Health Science. The Company experienced difficulties in enrolling new patients in this Phase II clinical trial, or PII, and modified the protocols of the clinical trial. As a result of the accumulation of recruitment delays, the Company expects to incur additional clinical and production costs related to the Phase II clinical trial.
As of June 30, 2021, the Company recorded its collaboration agreements’s revenue based on its updated measurement of progress of the Phase II clinical trial conducted as part of the agreement. The accrual 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 II clinical trial has been updated accordingly.
Other contingencies are primarily composed of the estimated expenses to be incurred as part of the employee-related costs related to restructuring, as well as estimated cost of refurbishing lease premises (Refer to Note 2, “Significant Events and Transactions—Restructuring”).
There have been no significant changes in assumptions for the estimation of the retirement commitments from those disclosed in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report.

There were
no
other new significant related-party transactions during the period nor any change in the nature of the transactions from those described in Note 20 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report.
Note 12: 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, 2021 and 2020, 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 ordinary share equivalents at June 30, 2021 and 2020 excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share for the three months and six months ended June 31, 2021 and 2020 (in number of potential shares) are set forth here below:

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, 2020, included in our Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 17, 2021, 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.
Viaskin Peanut in the United States
On January 13, 2021, we received written responses from the FDA to questions provided in the Type A meeting request, we submitted in October 2020 following the CRL. We believe the FDA feedback provides a well-defined regulatory path forward. In exchanges with the FDA, we proposed potential resolutions to two main concerns identified by the FDA in the CRL: the impact of patch adhesion and the need for patch modifications. The FDA agreed with our 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 a 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 modified patches, the FDA has requested an assessment comparing the uptake of allergen (peanut protein) between the patches in peanut allergic children ages 4 to 11 years. The FDA also recommended conducting a 6-month, well-controlled safety and adhesion trial to assess the modified Viaskin Peanut patch in the intended patient population.
In the second quarter of 2021, we completed CHAMP (Comparison of adHesion Among Modified Patches), a trial in healthy adult volunteers to evaluate the adhesion of five modified Viaskin Peanut patches in order to identify the top performers. Based on the adhesion parameters studied, we were pleased to learn that all modified Viaskin Peanut patches demonstrated better adhesion performance as compared to the current Viaskin Peanut patch. We then selected two modified patches that performed best out of the five modified patches studied for further development.
The difference between the two selected patches is their shape—one is circular and the other is rectangular with rounded corners. They are both approximately 50% larger than the current patch but maintain the same structure of the occlusion chamber (i.e., foam ring and backing). We also conducted advisory boards with patient caregivers and key opinion leaders to obtain qualitative feedback on the consumer experience with both patches.
We submitted the protocol for STAMP (Safety, Tolerability and Adhesion of Modified Patches), the 6-month adhesion and safety study of the modified patch, to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the second quarter of 2021 and are currently awaiting feedback.
Earlier this quarter, we initiated PREQUAL, a Phase 1 study in healthy adult volunteers to optimize the allergen sample collection methodologies and validate the assays DBV intends to use in EQUAL (EQuivalence in the Uptake of ALlergen). We continue to work closely with the FDA on how to best demonstrate the protein transport comparability of the modified patch (mVP) to the reference patch (cVP).
ViaskinTM Peanut in Europe
During the first quarter of 2021, we received the first set of questions from the European Medicines Agency, or EMA, regarding the Marketing Authorization Application, or MAA, for Viaskin Peanut as a treatment for peanut allergy in children ages 4-11.. The questions were consistent with our expectations and prefiling conversations with the EMA. We did not receive questions about the impact of adhesion on efficacy. The EMA’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use will provide a recommendation to the European Commission, or EC, on whether to grant a marketing authorization when its review of the Viaskin Peanut MAA is complete.
The European Medicines Agency (EMA) review of the Viaskin Peanut Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) is progressing according to established EMA processes and ongoing conversations with the EMA.
In July 2021, we received from the EMA Day 180 list of outstanding issues. The review of the Viaskin Peanut MAA is progressing according to established EMA processes and ongoing conversations with the EMA.
Many of EMA’s Objections and Major Objections have been answered; One Major Objection remains. We will provide a response to address the outstanding issues, including the mentioned Major Objection.
Based on the average length of an EMA evaluation of an MAA, we estimate the EMA could issue its decision on potential marketing authorization for Viaskin Peanut in the fourth quarter of 2021 or the first quarter of 2022.
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 (
Crédit d’Iimpôt 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, 2021 compared to $3.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in operating income is primarily attributable to the change in 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 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 $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to a decrease in external clinical-related expenses as a result of budget discipline measures . Employee-related costs, excluding share-based payment expenses, decreased by $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020 directly related to the workforce reduction we implemented as part of our 2020 global restructuring plan.
The shared-based payment income recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was triggered by the reversal of share-based payment expenses due to employees’ departures in the context of our restructuring plan.
The increase of depreciation, amortization and other expenses relates primarily to the change in the second quarter of 2021 in the accrual recorded in the amount of the difference between our current best estimates of costs yet to be incurred and revenues yet to be recognized for the completion of the Phase II clinical trial conducted as part of the Nestlé agreement.

Sales and marketing expenses amounted to $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $(0.8) million for the three months ended June 30, 2020.
The shared-based payment income recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was triggered by the reversal of share-based payment expense due to employees’ departures in the context of our 2020 global restructuring plan.
The increase in share-based payment expense for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020 was partly offset by the decrease in employee-related costs, directly related to the workforce reduction implemented as part of our restructuring plan. The decrease in external professional services for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020 is directly related to budget discipline measures taken.

General and Administrative expenses decreased by $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020 primarly due to cost containment measures and decreased external professional fees.
The share-based payment income recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was triggered by the reversal of share-based payment expense due to employees’ departures in the context of our 2020 global restructuring plan.
The decrease in employee-related costs, excluding share-based payments expenses, was directly related to the workforce reduction we implemented as part of our restructuring plan.
Restructuring
We initiated a global restructuring plan in June 2020 to provide operational latitude to progress in the clinical development and regulatory review of investigational Viaskin
™
Peanut in the United States and European Union. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, our average headcount was 99, compared to 306 for the three months ended June 30, 2020.
As of June 30, 2021, we had 97 employees. We expect full implementation of the organization-wide cost reduction measures to be completed in the second half of 2021.
The restructuring costs were mainly comprised of payroll expenses, restructuring-related consulting and legal fees, as well as impairment of facilities and right of use assets following resizing of facilities.
There were no restructuring costs for three months ended June 30, 2021.
Financial income (expense)
Our financial income was approximately $46,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to a financial expense of $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. This item mainly includes foreign exchange income and expenses.
Income tax
Our income tax profit was $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. This profit mainly resulted from U.S. tax refunds.
Net loss
Net loss was $30.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $48.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Net loss per share (based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding over the period) was $0.56 and $0.88 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Our operating income was primarily generated from the French research tax credit (
Crédit d’Impôt Recherche
or “CIR”) and from revenue recognized under our collaboration agreement with Nestlé Health Science. We generated operating income of $1.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $8.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in operating income is primarily attributable to the change in 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 due to delays in new patient enrollment.
The decrease in research tax credit is attributable to the decline in eligible expenses in connection with Research and Development costs.

Research and Development expenses decreased by $7.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020 primarly due to a decrease in external clinical-related expenses as a result of budget discipline measures . Employee-related costs, excluding share-based payments expenses, decreased by $5.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020 directly related to the workforce reduction we implemented as part of our 2020 global restructuring plan.
The shared-based payment income recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was triggered by the reversal of share-based payment expenses due to employees’ departures in the context of our restructuring plan.
The increase in depreciation, amortization and other expenses relates primarily to the change in the second quarter of 2021 in the accrual recorded in the amount of the difference between our current best estimates of costs yet to be incurred and revenues yet to be recognized for the completion of the Phase II clinical trial conducted as part of the Nestlé agreement.

Restructuring
We initiated a global restructuring plan in June 2020 to provide operational latitude to progress the clinical development and regulatory review of investigational Viaskin
™
Peanut in the United States and European Union. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, our average headcount was 111 compared to 311 for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
As of June 30, 2021, we had 97 employees. We expect full implementation of the organization-wide costs reduction measures to be completed in the second half of 2021.
The restructuring costs were mainly comprised of payroll expenses, restructuring-related consulting and legal fees, as well as impairment of facilities and right of use assets following resizing of facilities.
There were no restructuring costs for six months ended June 30, 2021.
Financial income (expense)
Our financial income was $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to a financial expense of $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. This item mainly includes foreign exchange income (expense).
Income tax
Our income tax profit was $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. This income tax profit mainly resulted from US tax refunds.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Our market risks have not changed materially from those disclosed in Item 7A of the Annual Report.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based on its evaluation as of June 30, 2021, 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 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we granted 20,000 restricted stock units to employees in France.
During the three months ended June 30, 2021, pursuant to the authorization granted by the General Meeting of our Shareholders held on May 19, 2021, we offered our directors the opportunity to subscribe for warrants to purchase ordinary shares on May 19, 2021, and on June 3, 2021, the directors subscribed for warrants to purchase an aggregate of 39,185 ordinary shares .

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.
