DBV Technologies Reports Second Quarter and Half-Year 2026 Financial Results and Business Update
| • | Continued productive engagement with the FDA in support of the BLA for the VIASKIN® Peanut Patch in children aged 4 through 7 years, with submission of the BLA anticipated in the third quarter of 2026 |
| • | Reported cash and cash equivalents of $174.9 million as of June 30, 2026, funding into third quarter of 2027 |
| • | DBV will host a conference call today, July 16, at 5:00pm ET |
DBV Technologies (Euronext: DBV – ISIN: FR0010417345 – Nasdaq Stock Market: DBVT – CUSIP: 23306J309), a late-stage biopharmaceutical company, today reported financial results for the Second Quarter and Half-Year of 2026. The quarterly and Half-Year financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on July 16, 2026.
“2026 is an important year for DBV as we continue to prepare to become a commercial company, if approved. I’m happy to report that we have made meaningful progress towards that goal in the first half of the year,” said Daniel Tassé, Chief Executive Officer of DBV Technologies. “Recently, we shared the regulatory progress we’ve made through collaborative engagement with the FDA. We have also made judicious investments in launch readiness, while we continue to execute clinical studies that we expect will add further understanding to the potentially transformative value of the VIASKIN® Peanut Patch.”
Half-Year 2026 Operational Highlights
Regulatory and Clinical Execution
| • | Continued advancing the BLA submission for the VIASKIN® Peanut Patch in children aged 4 through 7 years. |
| • | Engaged in detailed and iterative discussions with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to support a complete, efficient and timely review of the BLA, once submitted. The FDA has not requested additional data. |
| • | DBV is incorporating valuable, actionable feedback from the FDA specific to the organization, mapping and formatting of existing CMC and biostatistical data sets, and now anticipates submitting the BLA in the third quarter of 2026. |
| • | Recruitment was closed in the second quarter of 2026 for the COMFORT Toddlers supplemental safety study, an important operational milestone in the continued advancement of the VIASKIN® Peanut Patch in toddlers aged 1 through 3 years. |
| • | Initiated the THRIVE study evaluating the efficacy and safety of the VIASKIN® Peanut Patch in achieving ad lib consumption of dietary peanut in infants aged 6 through 12 months with peanut allergy after 3-4 years of treatment with the VIASKIN® Peanut Patch. |
Scientific Engagement
| • | Maintained active engagement with allergy, immunology, and patient advocacy communities through participation in leading scientific and medical congresses, including American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology (AAAAI) Annual Meeting and the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) Congress, where DBV presented positive subgroup analyses from the phase 3 VITESSE study. |
Corporate and Financial Position
| • | Funded into third quarter of 2027, to support operations and commercial preparedness, including investment across core functions required to potentially launch and support the long-term success of the VIASKIN® Peanut Patch brand, including Medical Affairs, Sales, Market Access, Marketing, Account Management, and Pharmacovigilance. |
| • | Enhanced visibility in the European investment community through inclusion in CAC Mid 60 and SBF 120, Euronext Tech leaders, and MSCI EMEA Small Cap indices. |
Food Allergy Prevalence Rates
| • | A recent epidemiologic assessment using a survey based, standardized methodology demonstrated prevalence of peanut allergy remains unchanged statistically relative to historical estimates, despite shifts in clinical practice toward earlier introduction of allergenic foods to diet and earlier diagnosis of peanut allergy. |
Financial Highlights for the Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2026
The Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, and the comparative period of June 30, 2025, are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and Europe (IFRS). Comments are provided on a U.S. GAAP basis. Differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRS condensed consolidated financial statements result mainly from the application of leases and pensions accounting standards.
Operating Income
Operating income amounted to $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, including $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared with $2.2 million and $1.5 million, respectively, for the corresponding periods in 2025.
The decrease reflects a lower accrual of French research tax credit income, consistent with the expected reduction in eligible experimental activities on a full-year basis as the Company continues to shift its focus from clinical development toward commercial readiness activities.
Operating Expenses
Research and Development Expenses
R&D expenses amounted to $64.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, including $31.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared with $55.2 million and $33.7 million, respectively, for the corresponding periods in 2025:
| • | Increased clinical trial activity from COMFORT Toddlers and THRIVE studies, and BLA submission preparation |
| • | Investment in Medical Affairs, Quality, Pharmacovigilance, and Regulatory functions in the United States. |
| • | Continued Pre-Commercial Inventory build-up in preparation for the launch of the VIASKIN® Peanut Patch for children aged 4 through 7 years in the U.S., if approved. |
Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) Expenses
SG&A expenses increased by $11.2 million and $20.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared with the corresponding periods in 2025. The Company is building its U.S. commercial infrastructure and conducting pre-marketing activities in preparation for the potential U.S. launch of VIASKIN® Peanut for children aged 4 through 7 years, if approved.
Financial Income (Expense)
Net financial income amounted to $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, including $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared with a net financial expense of $1.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively, for the corresponding periods in 2025. The improvement primarily reflects higher interest income generated from the investment of cash balances following the equity financing transactions, together with the effects of the Company’s foreign-exchange risk-management activities.
Income Tax
Income tax expense amounted to $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, including $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared with $0.1 million for the corresponding periods in 2025.
Net Loss and Net Loss Per Share
The Company recorded a net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2026, of $98.0 million, including $50.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared with $69.0 million and $41.9 million for the corresponding periods in 2025.
Net loss per share (based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding over the period) decreased from $(0.58) to $(0.23) for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and June 30, 2026, respectively. This improvement reflects a significantly strengthened equity base following recent financings.
Cash Position and Liquidity
These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $174.9 million. Following the revised timing of the anticipated BLA submission from the second to the third quarter of 2026, management updated the Company’s forecasts to reflect the revised timing of related expenditures and activities, including cost-containment measures. Based on its current operations, plans and assumptions, management estimates that the Company has sufficient funding to support its operations for at least twelve months from the date of issuance of these condensed financial statements (Form 10-Q & Half Year Report), into the third quarter of 2027.
These estimates are based on the Company’s current forecasts and exclude any additional expenditures related to programs other than the VIASKIN® Peanut Patch or resulting from the potential in licensing or acquisition of additional product candidates or technologies, or any associated development the Company may pursue. The Company may have based these estimates on assumptions that are incorrect, and the Company may end up using its resources sooner than anticipated.
The Company’s net cash used in operating & investing activities increased to $102.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $54.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, reflecting continued investments in clinical development activities, manufacturing & supply-chain readiness, commercial launch preparedness, and the expansion of the Company’s workforce in preparation for a potential launch of the VIASKIN® Peanut Patch, if approved. While the Company expects operating cash outflows to remain significant as it advances toward BLA submission and potential commercialization, the Company’s current forecasts incorporate measures intended to align spending with the revised regulatory timeline.
The timing and amount of the Company’s future cash requirements may vary materially from current expectations depending on, among other factors, the timing and scope of regulatory interactions, the pace of clinical enrollment, manufacturing-related commitments, commercial readiness activities, foreign exchange rate fluctuations and other factors. The Company may seek additional capital in the future through new or existing financing strategies to support its long-term corporate strategy.

About DBV Technologies
DBV Technologies is a late-stage biopharmaceutical company developing treatment options for food allergies and other immunologic conditions with significant unmet medical need. DBV Technologies is currently focused on investigating the use of its proprietary VIASKIN® patch technology 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® Peanut Patch 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 Technologies is committed to transforming the care of people with food allergies. The Company’s food allergy programs include ongoing clinical trials of VIASKIN® Peanut Patch in toddlers (1 through 3 years of age) and children (4 through 7 years of age) with peanut allergy.
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 (DBV, ISIN code: FR0010417345) and the Company’s ADSs (each representing five ordinary shares) are traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market (DBVT – CUSIP: 23306J309).
