Exhibit 99.1

Pharvaris Reports Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results and Provides Business Update

 

   

Formal letters received from FDA relating to the previously announced hold on clinical studies of PHA121 in the U.S.

 

   

Top-line data anticipated in 4Q22 for RAPIDe-1, a global Phase 2 study of PHVS416 for the acute treatment of HAE attacks ongoing outside the U.S.

 

   

Executing from a strong financial position with cash and cash equivalents of €201 million as of June 30, 2022

Zug, Switzerland, September 12, 2022Pharvaris (Nasdaq: PHVS), a clinical-stage company developing novel, oral bradykinin-B2-receptor antagonists to treat and prevent hereditary angioedema (HAE) attacks, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022, and provided a business update.

“Pharvaris is dedicated to bringing therapeutic alternatives to people living with HAE and we maintain our belief in the potential of PHA121. Our team is committed to working with the FDA to resolve the hold on clinical trials involving PHA121 in the U.S. and we deeply appreciate the patience of the HAE community during this time,” said Berndt Modig, Chief Executive Officer of Pharvaris. “Having evaluated the impact of the clinical hold, we anticipate announcing top-line Phase 2 data for RAPIDe-1 in the fourth quarter of this year. As we work to address the FDA’s concerns and continue interactions with other regulatory authorities, we maintain a disciplined operational approach with our strong cash position expected to provide runway through the first quarter of 2024.”

Recent Business Updates

 

   

Pharvaris announced that it has received formal clinical hold letters from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This follows the previously announced verbal notification of a hold on the clinical trials of PHA121 in the U.S. under Investigational New Drug (IND) applications for the on-demand and prophylactic treatment of HAE attacks. The FDA requested that Pharvaris conduct an additional long-term rodent toxicology study and update the Investigator’s Brochure. The letters stated that the nonclinical observations are unlikely due to B2 receptor antagonism. Pharvaris plans to request a Type A meeting to discuss on-demand and prophylactic proposals to address the clinical holds.


   

RAPIDe-1, a global Phase 2 study of PHVS416 for the on-demand treatment of HAE, continues evaluating enrolled patients outside the U.S. with top-line data anticipated in 4Q22. The previously announced target enrollment of 72 people with HAE across 33 sites in Canada, Europe, Israel, the UK, and the U.S. was achieved. Subsequent to the clinical hold, the company continues to evaluate PHVS416 for HAE attacks in patients enrolled outside the U.S. The goal of RAPIDe-1 is to assess PHVS416 as an oral acute treatment of HAE attacks by comparing safety and symptom relief (skin pain, skin swelling, and abdominal pain) during HAE attacks across three doses and placebo. The primary endpoint of RAPIDe-1 is the change of the composite of the three measured symptoms (skin pain, skin swelling and abdominal pain) using a visual analogue scale (VAS-3) four hours after treatment. One of the measured symptoms must have a VAS score of 30 before treatment to be considered a qualified HAE attack. Other key secondary endpoints include the time to onset of symptom relief, as well as safety and tolerability. Given the current dataset of evaluable attacks, Pharvaris anticipates announcing top-line data in the fourth quarter of 2022.

 

   

Working with country-specific regulatory authorities regarding ongoing CHAPTER-1 Phase 2 study of PHVS416 for the prophylactic treatment of HAE attacks. Pharvaris has notified country-specific regulatory authorities in Canada, Europe, Israel, and the UK of the clinical hold in the U.S. When the company has more clarity regarding the impact of the U.S. clinical hold and additional feedback from global regulatory authorities, Pharvaris will provide guidance on the timing of announcing top-line data for the CHAPTER-1 trial. The study is designed to enroll 30 patients globally in CHAPTER-1 with a goal of evaluating proof of concept of PHVS416 for oral prophylaxis against HAE attacks. The safety and efficacy of two doses and placebo will be evaluated by comparing the number of investigator-confirmed attacks during participants’ 12-week treatment period. Data from this study is expected to inform design of an anticipated Phase 3 study utilizing PHVS719, an extended-release formulation of PHA121.

About PHVS416

PHVS416 is an investigational softgel capsule formulation containing PHA121, a highly potent, specific, and orally bioavailable competitive antagonist of the bradykinin B2 receptor. Pharvaris aims to develop this formulation to provide fast and reliable symptom relief, through rapid exposure of attack-mitigating therapy in a convenient, small oral dosage form. In healthy volunteers, a single dose of PHVS416 showed rapid exposure exceeding predicted therapeutically efficacious levels within 15 minutes. PHVS416 is currently in Phase 2 clinical development for the on-demand treatment of HAE.


About PHA121

PHA121 (PHA-022121) is a highly potent, specific, and orally bioavailable competitive antagonist of the bradykinin B2 receptor that has completed Phase 1 clinical development. PHA121 utilizes the same mechanism as icatibant, the leading therapy for on-demand treatment of HAE. Pharvaris is developing this novel small molecule for on-demand and prophylactic treatment of HAE and other bradykinin-mediated diseases through formulations optimized for each setting. Data from single- and multiple-ascending-dose Phase 1 studies in healthy volunteers demonstrate rapid exposure and linear pharmacokinetics at doses up to 50 mg. In a bradykinin-challenge study in healthy volunteers, PHA121 showed significant inhibition of bradykinin-induced hemodynamic changes with an average composite EC50 of 2.4 ng/mL and EC85 of 13.8 ng/mL, approximately four-fold more potent than historical data for icatibant. Quantitative modeling indicates that single oral doses of PHA121 will maintain pharmacological effectiveness for a substantially longer time than 30 mg of subcutaneous icatibant. In clinical studies, PHA121 has been observed to be well-tolerated at all doses studied to date.

About Pharvaris

Pharvaris is a clinical-stage company developing novel, oral bradykinin-B2-receptor antagonists to treat and prevent HAE attacks, building on its deep-seated roots in HAE. By directly targeting this clinically proven therapeutic target with novel small molecules, the Pharvaris team aspires to offer people with all sub-types of HAE effective and convenient alternatives to treat attacks, both on-demand and prophylactically. The company brings together the best talent in the industry with deep expertise in rare diseases and HAE. For more information, visit https://pharvaris.com/.

Overview

We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative therapies for rare diseases with significant unmet need, initially focused on angioedema and other bradykinin-mediated diseases. Our first molecule, PHA121, is a novel, small-molecule bradykinin B2-receptor antagonist for the treatment of hereditary angioedema, or HAE. Bradykinin-B2-receptor inhibition is a clinically validated mechanism for the treatment of HAE, as demonstrated by icatibant, which is a bradykinin B2-receptor antagonist approved in Europe in 2008 and in the United States in 2011 (as FIRAZYR®). We designed PHA121 to improve upon the therapeutic profile of existing therapies and, through oral delivery, to provide patients with quality of life and convenience that is superior to current standard-of-care HAE treatments, which are injectables. We believe PHA121 has the potential to provide a safe, effective and convenient option for both acute and prophylactic treatments of HAE, in the form of our PHVS416 on-demand rapid exposure product candidate, and for prophylaxis of HAE, in the form of our PHVS719 small daily dose extended-release product candidate. We believe that our product candidates may address a broader range of angioedema attacks than other available treatments since PHA121 blocks the actual signal that leads to angioedema (the interaction of bradykinin, or BK, with the bradykinin B2 receptor), rather than an upstream signal. By blocking the action of bradykinin, we can prevent its aberrant signaling regardless of the pathway that generates it.

In our completed Phase 1 trials to-date, we have observed that PHA121 was orally bioavailable and well tolerated at all doses studied, with approximately dose-proportional exposure. We also have demonstrated proof-of-mechanism through a clinical pharmacodynamics, or PD, assessment with the bradykinin challenge, which had been utilized as a validated surrogate assessment for dose selection in the icatibant development program. The data also allowed us to compare the projected therapeutic performance of PHA121 in comparison with that of icatibant, but we do not yet have data from a PHA121 Phase 2 study. We plan to progress PHA121 through clinical development for on-demand and prophylactic use with our on-demand product candidate, PHVS416, and extended-release product candidate, PHVS719, respectively.


We commenced our RAPIDe-1 Phase 2 clinical trial of PHVS416 in February 2021. We also commenced CHAPTER-1, a Phase 2 clinical trial for prophylaxis in 2021 using twice-daily dosing of the PHVS416 softgel capsules. Our primary objective with CHAPTER-1 is to assess the safety profile of PHVS416 dose regimens for prophylactic treatments in HAE patients. Please see “Recent Announcements” for an update regarding these clinical trials. We also initiated a Phase 1 clinical trial with PHVS719 in 2021 to assess pharmacokinetics of the extended-release formulation and reported results in the first quarter of 2022. In healthy volunteers, a single dose of PHVS719 was well tolerated with an extended-release profile supporting once-daily dosing.

A wide variety of events beyond our control, including natural or man-made disasters, power shortages, fires, extreme weather conditions, pandemics, epidemics or outbreaks of infectious diseases, political instability or other events could disrupt our business or operations or those of our development partners, manufacturers, regulators or other third parties with whom we conduct business now or in the future. These events may cause businesses and government agencies to be shut down, supply chains to be interrupted, slowed, or rendered inoperable, and individuals to become ill, quarantined, or otherwise unable to work and/or travel due to health reasons or governmental restrictions.

In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, the governments of many countries, states, cities and other geographic regions have taken preventative or protective actions, such as imposing restrictions on travel and business operations and advising or requiring individuals to limit or forego their time outside of their homes. We have also taken steps to identify and mitigate the adverse effects and risks to the Company as a result of the pandemic. We have modified our business practices, including implementing work from home arrangements for employees able to perform their duties remotely and practicing safe social distancing in our operations. We expect to continue to take actions as may be required or recommended by government authorities or in the best interests of our employees and business partners. While the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s operations and financial performance has so far been limited, the extent to which COVID-19 may impact our financial condition or results of operations in the future is uncertain. For instance, the ongoing spread of variants of the COVID-19 virus may continue to interrupt, or delay, our clinical trial activities, regulatory reviews, manufacturing activities and supply chain. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business will depend on future developments, which are uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and the actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, including among other things, the effectiveness and outreach of COVID-19 vaccines.

In addition, the invasion of Ukraine and the retaliatory measures that have been taken, or could be taken in the future, by the United States, NATO, and other countries have created global security concerns that could result in a regional conflict and also adversely affect our ability to conduct ongoing and future clinical trials of our product candidates. For example, our RAPIDe-1 study includes a significant number of patients in Germany, Poland, and Bulgaria. A further escalation of the conflict in Ukraine may potentially impact our ability to complete our ongoing and planned clinical trials in these countries on a timely basis, or at all. Clinical trials in these countries could be suspended or terminated, and we may be prevented from obtaining data on patients already enrolled at affected sites. Any of the foregoing could impede the execution of our clinical development plans.

Recent Announcements

On May 11, 2022, we announced the appointment of Joan Schmidt, J.D., to the newly created position of Chief Legal Officer, effective June 1, 2022.

On August 22, 2022, we announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) had verbally informed us that, based on its review of nonclinical data, it is placing a clinical hold on the clinical trials of PHA121 in the United States (the “clinical hold”). The FDA indicated it will provide a formal clinical hold letter to Pharvaris within approximately 30 days following the verbal notice.

On September 12, 2022, we announced that we have received formal clinical hold letters from the FDA. The FDA requested that we conduct an additional long-term rodent toxicology study and update the Investigator’s Brochure. The letters stated that the nonclinical observations are unlikely due to B2 receptor antagonism, the primary mechanism of action of our compound. We plan to request a Type A meeting with the FDA to discuss on-demand and prophylactic proposals to address the clinical holds. In the RAPIDe-1 study, subsequent to the clinical hold in the U.S., we continue to evaluate PHVS416 for HAE attacks in patients enrolled outside the U.S. Given the current dataset of evaluable attacks, we anticipate announcing top-line data for the RAPIDe-1 study in the fourth quarter of 2022. We are working with country-specific regulatory authorities regarding the ongoing CHAPTER-1 Phase 2 study of PHVS416 for the prophylactic treatment of HAE attacks. We have notified country-specific regulatory authorities in Canada, Europe, Israel, and the UK of the U.S. clinical hold. When we have more clarity regarding the impact of the U.S. clinical hold and additional feedback from global regulatory authorities, we will provide guidance on the timing of announcing top-line data for the CHAPTER-1 trial.

Financial Operations Overview

Revenues

We did not record any revenues during the period covered by the historical financial information included in this Report. We do not expect to recognize any revenues before we are able to commercialize our first product.

Research and development expenses

We are focused on the clinical development of PHA121. Since our inception, we have devoted substantially all our resources to research and development efforts relating to the development of PHA121 and our product candidates PHVS416 and PHVS719. We expect that we will continue to incur significant research and development expenses as we seek to complete the clinical development of, and achieve regulatory approval for, our product candidates PHVS416 and PHVS719, and in connection with discovery and development of any additional product candidates.

Research and development expenses consist of the following:

 

   

employee benefits expenses, which includes salaries, pensions, share-based compensation expenses, bonus plans and other related costs for research and development staff;

 

   

nonclinical expenses, which include costs of our outsourced discovery and nonclinical development studies;

 

   

clinical expenses, which includes costs of conducting and managing our sponsored clinical trials, including clinical investigator cost, costs of clinical sites, and costs for CRO’s assisting with our clinical development programs;

 

   

manufacturing expenses, which include costs related to manufacturing of active pharmaceutical ingredients and manufacturing of the products used in our clinical trials and research and development activities;

 

   

costs related to regulatory activities, including collecting data, preparing and submitting filings, communicating with regulatory authorities and reviewing the design and conduct of clinical trials for compliance with applicable requirements;

 

   

costs in connection with investigator-sponsored clinical trials and evaluations;

 

   

advisers’ fees, including discovery, nonclinical, clinical, chemistry, manufacturing, and controls- related and other consulting services;

 

   

intellectual property costs, which includes costs associated with obtaining and maintaining patents and other intellectual property; and

 

   

license costs.

We anticipate that our total research and development expenses will continue to increase as we continue to progress PHVS416 and PHVS719 through clinical development.

There is a risk that any clinical development or product discovery program may not result in commercial approval. To the extent that we fail to obtain approval to commercialize our product candidate in a timely manner, we would need to continue to conduct nonclinical studies or clinical trials over a longer period of time, and we anticipate that our research and development expenses may further increase.

Clinical development timelines and associated costs may vary significantly and the successful development of our product candidate is highly uncertain. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate the nature, timing and estimated costs of the efforts, including patient recruitment and selection that will be necessary to complete the development of, or the period, if any, in which material net cash inflows may commence from, our product candidates.

 

3


Moreover, we cannot assure that we will be able to successfully develop or commercialize our product candidates, if approved for marketing. This is due to numerous risks and uncertainties associated with developing drugs. See “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk factors” in our Annual Report for a discussion of these risks and uncertainties.

Selling and distribution expenses

Historically, we have not incurred any selling and distribution expenses. If our product candidates are approved for registration and marketing, we anticipate incurring substantial selling and distribution expenses in future periods in order to establish an infrastructure for marketing and distribution, obtain supplies of active pharmaceutical ingredients, and manufacture commercial quantities of our product candidate.

General and administrative expenses

We anticipate that we will continue to incur significant general and administrative expenses as we advance our research and development portfolio. General and administrative expenses consist of the following:

 

   

employee benefits, including salaries, pensions, share-based compensation expenses, bonus plans and other related costs for staff and independent contractors in executive and operational functions;

 

   

independent auditors’ and advisers’ fees, including accounting, tax, legal, and other consulting services;

 

   

rental expenses, facilities and IT expenses, and other general expenses relating to our operations; and

 

   

expenses related to the build-out of our commercial organization, including assessments of the HAE market landscape, pricing research, and congress attendance.

We anticipate that the continuing development of our business and the expense of maintaining directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, will contribute to future increase in general and administrative expenses. We also expect that general and administrative expenses will increase in the future as we incur additional costs associated with being a public company in the United States.

Share-based compensation expenses

In 2016, we implemented an Equity Incentive Plan, or the Plan, in order to advance the interests of our shareholders by enhancing our ability to attract, retain and motivate persons who are expected to make important contributions to us and by providing such persons with performance-based incentives that are intended to better align the interests of such persons with those of our shareholders. In order to incentivize our directors and employees, our Board adopted the Pharvaris N.V. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”) for employees, consultants and directors prior to the completion of our initial public offering (“IPO”). The 2021 Plan became effective upon our conversion from Pharvaris B.V. into Pharvaris N.V., which occurred prior to the consummation of our IPO. The 2021 Plan provides for the grant of options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, RSUs, performance stock awards, other stock-based awards, performance cash awards and substitute awards. The fair values of these instruments are recognized as personnel expenses in either research and development expenses or general and administrative expenses.

Research and development expenses increased from €8,060,599 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 to €13,721,637 for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in the research and development expenses is mainly driven by the progress made in the PHVS416 and PHVS719 development programs in the three months ended June 30, 2022. Clinical expenses increased by €3,679,322 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021 due to the progress on and expansion of the on-demand and prophylactic programs. Nonclinical expenses decreased by €164,867 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021 due to completion of certain nonclinical studies supporting the PHVS416 and PHVS719 clinical trial programs. Manufacturing costs relating to the API and pharmaceutical development of PHVS416 and PHVS719 increased by €817,163 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021 due to supply costs associated with both clinical programs, the post-Phase 3 nonclinical study package and preparations for commercial supply. In the personnel expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 an amount of €1,014,655 and €694,084, respectively, was included which related to share-based payments compensation arrangements. The increase in the share-based compensation is due to the new grants awarded in the three months ended June 30, 2022 and the cumulative charges of the awards granted up the three months ended March 31, 2022. The remaining increase in personnel expenses is driven by the growth of our organization resulting in additional employees hired, and yearly merit adjustments.

General and administrative expenses increased from €4,664,726 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 to €7,660,133 for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in general and administrative expenses was mainly driven by the growth of the Company following the completion of the IPO, which also led to additional expenses inherent to being a public company and increasing costs related to our commercial buildout. In the personnel expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 an amount of €2,128,184 and €1,078,654 respectively, was included which related to share-based compensation arrangements. The increase in the share-based compensation expenses is due to the new grants (options and RSUs) made in three months ended June 30, 2022 and the cumulative charges of the awards already granted in the three months ended March 31, 2022. The remaining increase in personnel expenses is driven by the growth of our organization resulting in additional employees hired, and yearly merit adjustments.

Finance income/(expense)

Finance income/(expense) for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were €11,501,804 and (€2,474,483) respectively, a change of €13,976,287. The amount mainly relates to unrealized foreign exchange income, which is the result of translating the Company’s bank balances held in USD to EUR. The foreign exchange rates changed in favor of the Company in the second quarter of 2022.

Income taxes

Income taxes are accounted for in line with IAS 34. The interim period is considered part of a larger financial year, where the income tax is recognized in each interim period based on the best estimate of the weighted average annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year. The estimated tax expenses are determined based on a full year basis and subsequently allocated using the expected full year effective tax rate. The one-off items are recognized in full in the interim period in which they emerge. In the total interim tax charge, no distinction is made between current and deferred tax expenses/income.

The total tax expense over the three months ended June 30, 2022 principally relates to the Dutch fiscal unity for the utilization of a deferred tax asset (“DTA”) on carry forward losses which previously was not recognized, and a current tax expense which is calculated over the six months ended June 30, 2022, mainly driven by foreign exchange gains.

Research and development expenses increased from €16,132,053 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to €27,236,126 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in the research and development expenses is mainly driven by the progress made in the PHVS416 and PHVS719 development programs in the first six months of 2022. Clinical expenses increased by €6,979,682 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021 due to the progress on and expansion of the on-demand and prophylactic programs. Nonclinical expenses decreased by €310,795 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021 due to completion of certain nonclinical studies supporting the PHVS416 and PHVS719 clinical trial programs. Manufacturing costs relating to the API and pharmaceutical development of PHVS416 and PHVS719 increased by €2,963,496 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021 due to supply costs for both clinical programs, the post-Phase 3 nonclinical study package and preparations for commercial supply. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 license costs reflected a milestone payment of €500,000 that was paid to Analyticon upon the start of the clinical Phase 2. In the personnel expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 an amount of €1,943,566 and €2,052,787, respectively, was included related to the share-based compensation arrangements. The decrease in the share-based compensation expenses is due to a remeasurement of the fair values of the stock options related to the performance periods 2021 and 2022 that occurred in the six months ended June 30, 2021 and the offset due to the new grants during the 6-month period, and the cumulative charges for the grants up to December 31, 2021. The remaining increase in personnel expenses was driven by the growth of our organization and yearly merit adjustments.

General and administrative expenses increased from €8,436,415 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to €13,525,138 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. This is mainly driven by the growth of our organization following the completion of the IPO, which also led to additional expenses related to the operations of a public company and increasing costs related to our commercial buildout. In the personnel expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 an amount of €3,146,211 and €1,816,561 respectively, was included which related to share-based compensation arrangements. The increase in the share-based compensation expenses is due to the grants made in the first six months of 2022. The remaining increase in personnel expenses is driven by the growth of our organization resulting in additional employees hired, and yearly merit adjustments.

Finance income/(expense)

Finance income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were €14,892,983 and €3,344,373 respectively, a change of €11,548,610. The amount mainly relates to unrealized foreign exchange income, which is the result of translating the group’s bank balances held in USD to EUR. The EUR/USD exchange rate has changed to our favor for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Income taxes

Income taxes are accounted for in line with IAS 34. The interim period is considered part of a larger financial year, where the income tax is recognized in each interim period based on the best estimate of the weighted average annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year. The estimated tax expenses are determined based on a full year basis and subsequently allocated using the expected full year effective tax rate. The one-off items are recognized in full in the interim period in which they emerge. In the total interim tax charge, no distinction is made between current and deferred tax expenses/income.

The total tax expense over the six months ended June 30, 2022 principally relates to the Dutch fiscal unity for the utilization of a DTA on carry forward losses which previously was not recognized, and a current tax expense which is calculated over the six months ended June 30, 2022, mainly driven by foreign exchange gains.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since inception, we have incurred significant operating losses. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 we incurred losses of €28,648,098 and €21,245,649 respectively. Since inception, we have not generated any revenues or net cash flows from sales. We will not receive any revenues or net cash flows from sales of our product candidate until it has been approved by regulatory authorities and we have commercialized it. There is no assurance that we will be able to do so.

To date, we have relied solely on the issuance of equity securities to finance our operations and internal growth. On March 1, 2022, we entered into a sales agreement with SVB Securities LLC, or SVB Securities, pursuant to which we may sell ordinary shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $75 million from time to time through SVB Securities. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we sold a total of 588,100 ordinary shares in two different transactions under the sales agreement generating total net proceeds of $9,698,504, after deducting $299,954 which was payable to SVB Securities as commission in respect of such sales. As of June 30, 2022 we had cash and cash equivalents of €201.4 million. Our cash and cash equivalents consist solely of cash at bank.

We do not expect positive operating cash flows in the foreseeable future and remain dependent on additional financing to fund our research and development expenses, general and administrative expenses and financing costs. We believe that the available cash balances are sufficient to execute our operating plan and strategies and to meet the anticipated working capital requirements and settle all expected liabilities for at least twelve months from the issuance date of our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

Our future viability is dependent on our ability to raise additional capital to finance operations. We will need to finance our operations through public or private securities offerings, debt financings or other sources, which may include licensing, collaborations or other strategic transactions or arrangements. Although we have been successful in raising capital in the past, there is no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining such additional financing on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we are unable to obtain funding, we could be forced to delay, reduce, or eliminate some or all of our research and development programs for product candidates, product portfolio expansion or commercialization efforts, which could adversely affect our business prospects, or we may be unable to continue operations.

Our contractual obligations and commitments as of June 30, 2022 amounted to €16 million, primarily related to research and development commitments.

The net cash inflow in 2021 was the result of the proceeds from the IPO net of underwriting discount and other transaction costs. The cash inflow in six months ended June 30, 2022 relates to the sale of the ordinary shares under the sales agreement with SVB Securities offset by cash flows related to financial lease and transaction costs.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies
2.1 Basis of preparation
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 (“last annual financial statements”). These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all the information required for a complete set of financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.
However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group’s financial position and performance since the last annual financial statements.

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis. Unless otherwise stated, the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in euros and all values are rounded to the nearest EUR (€), except per share amounts.
Revision of prior period loss per share
In the period ended June 30, 2022, the Company determined that it had incorrectly computed the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding used as denominator in calculating its basic and diluted loss per share in previously issued interim financial statements. This error had no impact to the Company’s operating expenses, or loss for the period, and had no impact to the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position, consolidated statements of changes in equity or consolidated statements of cash flows.
The Company assessed the materiality of these errors on the previously issued condensed consolidated interim financial statements and concluded that the errors were not material to any period presented. The impact of the revision of the previously issued interim financial statements is as follows:

2.2 Going concern
Pharvaris is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative therapies for rare diseases with significant unmet need, initially focused on angioedema and other bradykinin-mediated diseases. These therapies will need to go through clinical development trials to achieve regulatory approval for commercialization. Therefore, Pharvaris is incurring annual research and development and other operating costs and has no revenues to date (as is typical in the biotech industry for development stage and early commercial stage companies). As such, Pharvaris anticipates
on-going
negative operating cash flows for several years before the company has a product candidate ready for commercialization, if at all. This makes the Group dependent on external capital sources, debt capital and equity capital. The Group is currently fully financed by equity capital.
As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 the Group had cash of €201.4 million and €209.4 million, respectively. The Group incurred net losses of €28.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 and €21.2 million in the same period in 2021 and negative operating cash flows of €31.6 million and €22.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 and the six months ended June 30, 2021 respectively.
 
8

The Group does not expect positive operating cash flows in the foreseeable future and remains dependent on additional financing to fund its research and development expenses, general and administrative expenses and financing costs. The Group believes that the available cash balances are sufficient to execute the Group’s operating plan and strategies and to meet the anticipated working capital requirements and settle all expected liabilities for at least twelve months from the issuance date of these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The future viability of the Group is dependent on its ability to raise additional capital to finance its operations. The Group will need to finance its operations through public or private securities offerings, debt financings or other sources, which may include licensing, collaborations or other strategic transactions or arrangements. Although the Group has been successful in raising capital in the past, there is no assurance that it will be successful in obtaining such additional financing on terms acceptable to the Group, if at all. If the Group is unable to obtain funding, the Group could be forced to delay, reduce, or eliminate some or all of its research and development programs for product candidates, product portfolio expansion or commercialization efforts, which could adversely affect its business prospects, or the Group may be unable to continue operations.
Impact of
COVID-19
The Group has taken steps to identify and mitigate the adverse effects and risks to it as a result of the pandemic. The Group has modified its business practices, including implementing work from home arrangements for employees able to perform their duties remotely and practicing safe social distancing in our operations. The Group expects to continue to take actions as may be required or recommended by government authorities or in the best interests of its employees and business partners. While the impact of
COVID-19
on the Group’s operations and financial performance has so far been limited, the extent to which
COVID-19
may impact its financial condition or results of operations in the future is uncertain. For instance, the ongoing spread of variants of the
COVID-19
virus may continue to interrupt, or delay, the Group’s clinical trial activities, regulatory reviews, manufacturing activities and supply chain.
The
COVID-19
outbreak delayed, and may continue to delay, enrollment in the Group’s clinical trials due to prioritization of hospital resources towards the outbreak or other factors, and some patients may be unwilling to enroll in our trials or be unable to comply with clinical trial protocols if quarantines impede patient movement or interrupt healthcare services, which would delay our ability to conduct clinical trials or release clinical trial results and could delay our ability to obtain regulatory approvals and commercialize our product candidates. In addition, even with the Group’s distributed operations, employee vaccinations and its observation of social distancing measures, there remains the possibility that key personnel may become ill or are otherwise unable to work, which could affect the Group’s operations.
Furthermore, the spread of the virus may affect the operations of key governmental agencies, such as the FDA, which may delay the development of the Company’s product candidates. The spread of an infectious disease, including
COVID-19
may also result in the inability of the Group’s suppliers to deliver components or raw materials, and the inability of the Group’s CDMOs to provide supplies of our product candidates for the Group’s planned clinical trials, on a timely basis or at all. Further, an infectious disease. including
COVID-19
may also impact the ability of the Group’s CROs, including nonclinical CROs, to provide services to support the Group’s clinical program. In addition, hospitals may reduce staffing and reduce or postpone certain treatments in response to the spread of an infectious disease. Such events may result in a period of business disruption, and in reduced operations, or doctors and medical providers may be unwilling to participate in the Group’s clinical trials, any of which could materially affect the Group’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
The extent to which the
COVID-19
pandemic impacts the Group’s business will depend on future developments, which are uncertain and cannot be predicted, including amongst other things, new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the
COVID-19
pandemic and the actions to contain
COVID-19
or treat its impact, including among other things the effectiveness and outreach of
COVID-19
vaccines. If the Group is unable to meet its milestones it might jeopardize our funding opportunities.
2.3 Use of judgements and estimates
In preparing these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, management has made judgements and estimates that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
 
9

The significant judgements made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those described in the last annual financial statements.
2.4 Change in significant accounting policies
The accounting policies applied in these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Development expenses are currently not capitalized but are recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income because the recognition criteria for capitalization are not met.
Clinical expenses include costs of conducting and managing our sponsored clinical trials, including clinical investigator cost, costs of clinical sites, and costs for CRO’s assisting with our clinical development programs.
Nonclinical expenses include costs of our outsourced discovery, preclinical and nonclinical development studies.
Manufacturing expenses include costs related to manufacturing of active pharmaceutical ingredients and manufacturing of the products used in our clinical trials and research and development activities
License costs during the period ended June 30, 2021 consist of a milestone payment of €500,000 which was paid to AnalytiCon upon commencement of Phase 2 development.

7. Income taxes
Income taxes are accounted for in line with IAS 34. The interim period is considered part of a larger financial year, where the income tax is recognized in each interim period based on the best estimate of the weighted average annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year. The estimated tax expenses are determined based on a full year basis and subsequently allocated using the expected full year effective tax rate. The discrete items are recognized in full in the interim period in which they emerge. In the total interim tax charge, no distinction is made between current and deferred tax expenses/income.

The total tax expenses over the six months ended June 30, 2022
principally
relates to the Dutch fiscal unity in the Netherlands, which reported an estimated tax expense of €2.7
 million
during the period. During the period, the Dutch fiscal unity reported a taxable income of approximately €17.4
 million
which was mainly driven by foreign exchange gains. Of the total taxable income, an amount of
7.0
 
million
was set off by the utilization of the accumulated losses carried forward (which were previously not recognized), resulting in a net taxable profit of €10.4
 million
.
Reconciliation of income tax benefit at statutory tax rate and the income tax expense as reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income is as follows:

Income tax expense

Income tax expense is recognized based on management’s estimate of the weighted average effective annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year, bearing in mind the impact of
non-discrete
and discrete items. Non-discrete items in the income tax expense are recognized based on management’s estimate of the weighted average effective annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year. Discrete items in the income tax expense are recognized for the applicable statutory tax rate.
The (estimated) average annual tax rate used for the six months ended June 30, 2022
 
is
10.7
%
compared to
 
0.1
%
for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The estimated effective tax rate includes significant discrete tax effects relating to the tax impact (after utilization of DTAs previously not recognized) on foreign exchange gains. As foreign exchange results cannot be reliably forecasted, the effective tax rate at year end may deviate from the currently reflected estimated effective tax rate.
The Current
period
losses for which no deferred tax asset has been recognized consists of the expense related to the losses in Switzerland, offset by the benefit from the utilization of previously unrecognized losses carried forward in the Netherlands.
 
12

The differences in the overseas tax rates are due to the lower tax rate in Switzerland and the higher tax rate in the USA compared to the statutory income tax rate in the Netherlands.
Pharvaris N.V. is the head of the fiscal unity including Pharvaris Netherlands B.V. and Pharvaris Holdings B.V.
Deferred tax
Deferred taxes have been recognized to the extent that management concludes that there is sufficient probability as per IAS 12 that there will be future taxable profits available in the foreseeable future against which the unused tax losses can be utilized.
Deferred tax assets relating to losses carried forward have not been recognized, and deferred tax assets on deductible temporary differences in excess of deferred tax liabilities on taxable temporary differences have neither been recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income nor in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of financial position.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Group recognized €5,089,777 of share-based payment expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income or loss and other comprehensive income (six months ended June 30, 2021: €3,869,347). For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Group recognized €3,142,839 of share-based payment expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income or loss and other comprehensive income (three months ended June 30: €1,772,738).
As of June 30, 2022, a total number of 1,287,099 stock options are exercisable (June 30, 2021: 337,667).
The inputs and outputs used in the measurement of the fair value per option at each grant/ measurement date using the Black-Scholes formula (including the related number of options and the fair value of the options) were as follows:

Expected volatility is based on an evaluation of the historical volatilities of comparable listed biotech-companies over the most recent historical period that commensurate with the expected option life. The expected life is based on Management’s best estimate of when the options will be exercised. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield on US Government bonds, with tenure equal to the expected life. The expected dividend yield is zero considering the stage of the Group.
19. Basic and diluted loss per share
Basic and diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of issued and outstanding ordinary shares during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021.
All of the Company’s potential dilutive securities have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to ordinary stockholders as the effect of including them would be antidilutive.

22. Events after the reporting period
On August 22, 2022, the Company announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”)
had
verbally informed it that, based on its review of nonclinical data, the agency is placing a clinical hold on the clinical trials of PHA121 in the United States (the “clinical hold”). The FDA indicated it will provide a formal clinical hold letter to Pharvaris within approximately 30 days following the verbal notice.
On September 12, 2022, the Company announced that it has received formal clinical hold letters from the FDA. The FDA requested that the Company conduct an additional long-term rodent toxicology study and update the Investigator’s Brochure. The letters stated that the nonclinical observations are unlikely due to B2 receptor antagonism, the primary mechanism of action of PHA121. The Company plans to request a Type A meeting with the FDA to discuss on-demand and prophylactic proposals to address the clinical holds. In the RAPIDe-1 study, subsequent to the clinical hold in the U.S., the Company continues to evaluate PHVS416 for HAE attacks in patients enrolled outside the U.S. Given the current dataset of evaluable attacks, the Company anticipates announcing top-line data for the RAPIDe-1 study in the fourth quarter of 2022. The Company is working with country-specific regulatory authorities regarding the ongoing CHAPTER-1 Phase 2 study of PHVS416 for the prophylactic treatment of HAE attacks. The Company has notified country-specific regulatory authorities in Canada, Europe, Israel, and the UK of the U.S. clinical hold. When the Company has more clarity regarding the impact of the U.S. clinical hold and additional feedback from global regulatory authorities, the Company will provide guidance on the timing of announcing top-line data for the CHAPTER-1 trial.
