2. Summary of significant accounting policies

2.1 Basis of preparation

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 (“last annual financial statements”). These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all the information required for a complete set 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.

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 proven successful. 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 September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 the Group had cash of €218.6 million and €98.6 million, respectively. The Group incurred net losses of €30.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and €15.4 million in the same period in 2020 and negative operating cash flows of €32.1 million and €12.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and the nine months ended September 30, 2020 respectively.

The Group does not expect positive operating cash flows in the foreseeable future and remains dependent on additional financings to fund its research and development expenses, general and administrative expenses and financing costs. However, 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 a period of at least twelve months after the signing date of these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements. Accordingly, unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

Impact of COVID-19

The outbreak of a novel strain of the coronavirus, specifically identified as “COVID-19”, has spread globally. COVID-19 is a virus causing potentially deadly respiratory tract infections and has impacted the global economy. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic.

The Group has taken appropriate measures to protect the safety of the employees and continuously monitors and evaluates the situation regarding COVID-19. The COVID-19 outbreak has delayed, and may continue to delay, enrollment in our clinical trials. The Group previously experienced an approximate two-month delay in starting the enrollment of our now completed Phase 1 multiple ascending dose study of PHA121 in healthy volunteers as a result of COVID-19.

The spread of an infectious disease, including COVID-19, may also result in the inability of our suppliers to deliver components or raw materials, and the inability of our CDMOs to provide supplies of our product candidates for our planned clinical trials, on a timely basis or at all. Further, it may impact the ability of our CROs, including non-clinical CROs, to provide services to support our clinical program. 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, among others. If we are unable to meet our milestones it might jeopardize our funding opportunities.

In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has already caused, and is likely to result in further, significant disruptions and uncertainties in global financial markets, which may reduce our ability to access capital on favorable terms or at all. A recession, depression or other sustained adverse market event resulting from the spread of COVID-19 could also materially and adversely affect our business and the value of our ordinary shares.

The Group continuously monitors the situation regarding COVID-19, and the possible impact on the CROs, contract manufacturing organizations and clinical sites performing research and development activities for the Group. All efforts are made to develop alternatives to limit the impact of COVID-19 going forward.

The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is uncertain and subject to change. Management does not expect that COVID-19 will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or liquidity of the Company.

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.

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, except for the share options granted, refer to note 18.

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, 2020, except for:

IFRS 16 Leases

Lease policies and disclosure are related to leases entered into in the second quarter of 2021.

All leases are accounted for by recognizing a right-of-use asset and a lease liability except for:

 

leases of low value assets; and

 

leases with a duration of 12 months or less.

 

Lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the contractual payments due to the lessor over the lease term, with the Group’s incremental borrowing rate on commencement of the lease used.

On initial recognition, the carrying value of the lease liability also includes:

 

any penalties payable for terminating the lease, if the term of the lease has been estimated on the basis of termination option being exercised.

 

Right of use assets are initially measured at the amount of the lease liability, reduced for any lease incentives received, and increased for:

 

lease payments made at or before commencement of the lease;

 

initial direct costs incurred; and

9


 

 

 

the amount of any provision recognized where the Group is contractually required to dismantle, remove or restore the leased asset.

 

Subsequent to initial measurement lease liabilities increase as a result of interest charged at a constant rate on the balance outstanding and are reduced for lease payments made. Right-of-use assets are amortised on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the lease.

 

When the Group revises its estimate of the term of any lease, it adjusts the carrying amount of the lease liability to reflect the payments to make over the revised term, which are discounted using a revised discount rate.
