David Schilansky, COO of DBV Technologies SA – ADR (DBVT), says the revenue side of the company is very simple. DBVT is a loss-making company and does not generate any significant revenues.

“We do benefit from what we call credit tax research, which is really a tax inflow from the French government related to the spend to the R&D expenditures, but this is the only source of revenue that we have, and it’s about 4 million euro per year, so it’s really nonsignificant at this stage,” he says.

Schilansky says the company burned roughly 3.5 to 4 million euro per month last year and this year to date. He says that burn rate will accelerate in the future as DBVT intensifies the number of clinical studies it is running.

“We’re also setting up a commercial infrastructure in the U.S., but we’re not giving precise numbers,” he says. “What we have said about our current cash position is that close to 300 million euro will finance DBV until the launch of the product in the U.S.”
