Clinical Stage Vaccine Candidates

LYME DISEASE VACCINE CANDIDATE – VLA15
Acceleration of Pediatric Development

Valneva is developing VLA15, a vaccine candidate targeting Borrelia, the bacterium that causes Lyme disease. VLA15 is a multivalent recombinant protein vaccine that targets six serotypes of Borrelia representing the most common strains found in the United States and Europe. VLA15 is currently the only vaccine undergoing clinical trials against Lyme disease.

Valneva has previously announced a collaboration with Pfizer for late phase development and, if approved, commercialization of VLA151. Valneva has reported positive initial results for two Phase 2 clinical trials of VLA15 in over 800 healthy adults.

To accelerate VLA15’s pediatric development, Valneva and Pfizer initiated an additional Phase 2 trial in March 2021, VLA15-221. In July 2021, Pfizer and Valneva announced recruitment completion for VLA15-221 with a total of 625 participants, 5 to 65 years of age, randomized in the trial. The objective of the trial is to show safety and immunogenicity down to 5 years of age and to evaluate the optimal vaccination schedule for use in Phase 3. Topline results for VLA15-221 are expected in the first half of 2022.

CHIKUNGUNYA VACCINE CANDIDATE – VLA1553
Positive Phase 3 Results reported

VLA1553 is a live-attenuated, single-dose vaccine candidate against the chikungunya virus, a mosquito-borne virus that has spread to more than 100 countries with the potential to rapidly expand further. There are currently no preventive vaccines or effective treatments for the chikungunya virus available and, to Valneva’s knowledge, VLA1553 is the only chikungunya vaccine candidate in Phase 3 clinical trials worldwide.

At the beginning of August 2021, Valneva announced positive topline results for the Phase 3 pivotal trial of VLA1553. The trial, involving 4,115 adults, aged 18 years and above, across 44 sites in the U.S., met its primary endpoint inducing protective CHIKV neutralizing antibody titers in 98.5% of participants 28 days after receiving a single shot (264 of 268 subjects from the per-protocol subgroup tested for immunogenicity, 95%CI: 96.2-99.6). The seroprotection rate result of 98.5% exceeded the 70% threshold (for non-acceptance) agreed with the FDA. The seroprotective titer was agreed with the FDA to serve as a surrogate of protection that can be utilized in a potential FDA submission of VLA1553 under the accelerated approval pathway. The vaccine candidate was highly immunogenic with a Geometric Mean Titer of approximately 3,270, confirming the immunogenicity profile seen in the Phase 1 trial.

Additionally, VLA1553 was also highly immunogenic in elderly study participants, who achieved equally high seroprotection rates and neutralizing antibody titers as younger adults, as well as an equally good safety profile.

VLA1553 was generally well tolerated among the 3,082 subjects evaluated for safety. An independent Data Safety Monitoring Board continuously monitored the study and identified no safety concerns. The safety profile is consistent with results from the Phase 1 clinical trial. The majority of solicited adverse events were mild or moderate and resolved within 3 days. 1.6% of study participants reported severe solicited adverse events, most commonly fever. Approximately 50% of study participants experienced solicited systemic adverse events, most commonly headache, fatigue and myalgia (seen in more than 20% of subjects). The local tolerability profile showed that approximately 15% of participants experienced solicited local adverse events. The trial will continue towards final analysis including the six-month safety data. Final trial results are expected within the next six months.

Valneva’s chikungunya program was awarded Breakthrough Therapy Designation by the FDA in July 2021. This new milestone came in addition to the FDA Fast Track designation and the European Medicines Agency (EMA)’s PRIME designation which the Company received in December 2018 and in October 2020, respectively. The sponsor of the first chikungunya vaccine approved in the U.S. will be eligible to receive a Priority Review Voucher (PRV).

To make VLA1553 more accessible to Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMIC), Valneva and Instituto Butantan in Brazil signed an agreement in January 2021 for the development, manufacturing and marketing of VLA15532. The collaboration falls within the framework of the funding agreement between Valneva and the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) signed in July 20193, which provides funding of up to $23.4 million with support from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 program.

SARS-CoV-2 VACCINE CANDIDATE – VLA2001

Recruitment Completed for Pivotal Phase 3 Trial

VLA2001 is currently the only whole virus, inactivated, adjuvanted vaccine candidate in clinical trials against COVID-19 in Europe. It is produced using Valneva’s established Vero-cell platform, leveraging the manufacturing technology for Valneva’s licensed Japanese encephalitis vaccine, IXIARO®.

At the beginning of June 2021, Valneva announced that recruitment had been completed for VLA2001’s pivotal Phase 3 trial “Cov-Compare” (VLA2001-301) with over 4,000 randomized participants. In the Phase 1/2 clinical trial, VLA2001 showed high immunogenicity and was generally well tolerated, with no safety concerns identified4. Cov-Compare phase 3 topline data are expected early in the fourth quarter of 2021. Valneva expects to commence rolling submission with the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency in the coming weeks and, subject to the Phase 3 data, believes that initial approval may be granted by the end of 2021.

In parallel to the Cov-Compare trial, Valneva is studying COVID-19 variants to be in a position to manufacture variant-based vaccines. Valneva is also participating in a UK Government-funded clinical trial looking at different COVID-19 “booster” vaccines. The COV-Boost trial, led by University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust, looks at seven different COVID-19 vaccines, including VLA2001, as potential boosters, and is also evaluating dosage levels. It will be the first trial in the world to provide vital data on how effective a booster of each vaccine is in protecting individuals from the virus. The COV-Boost trial is fully recruited. Valneva has also commenced production of VLA2001 at its facilities in Scotland and Sweden in order to optimize the timeline for potential deliveries of the vaccine.

Although vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 have already been approved, given the potential advantages often associated with inactivated whole virus vaccines, Valneva believes its vaccine candidate could play a role in the overall portfolio of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines that will address the global need during the pandemic and in the future.

In September 2020, Valneva announced a collaboration with the UK Government, which has the option to purchase up to 190 million doses through 20255. So far, the UK Government has ordered 100 million doses for supply in 2021 and 2022.

Commercial Vaccines

JAPANESE ENCEPHALITIS VACCINE (IXIARO®/JESPECT®)
IXIARO® is the only Japanese encephalitis vaccine licensed and available in the United States, Canada and Europe.

Sales of IXIARO® were €25.4 million in the first half of 2021 compared to €28.4 million in the first half of 2020. While the COVID-19 pandemic is continuing to adversely impact the travel industry and vaccine sales to the private market, the impact on IXIARO® sales during the first half of 2021 was mitigated by the Company’s contract with the U.S. Government’s Department of Defense (DoD).

CHOLERA / ETEC6-DIARRHEA VACCINE (DUKORAL®)

DUKORAL® is an oral vaccine for the prevention of diarrhea caused by Vibrio cholerae and/or heat-labile toxin producing ETEC, the leading cause of travelers’ diarrhea. DUKORAL® is authorized for use in the European Union and Australia to protect against cholera and in Canada, Switzerland, New Zealand and Thailand to protect against cholera and ETEC5.

DUKORAL® recorded sales of €0.4 million in the first half of 2021 compared to €12.1 million in the first half of 2020. First half 2021 sales continued to be significantly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on the travel industry.

First Half 2021 Financial Review
(Unaudited, consolidated under IFRS)

Revenues
Valneva’s total revenues were €47.5 million in the first half of 2021 compared to €47.9 million in the first half of 2020. Product sales declined by 22.4% to €31.8 million in the first half of 2021 compared to €40.9 million in the first half of 2020. On a constant exchange rate (CER) basis, product sales declined by 18.6% in the first half of 2021 compared to the first half of 2020 due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the travel industry. IXIARO®/JESPECT® sales declined by 10.6% (3.5% at CER) to €25.4 million and DUKORAL® sales by 96.5% (96.6% at CER) to
€0.4 million in the first half of 2021 compared to €28.4 million and €12.1 million respectively in the first half of 2020. Third Party product sales grew to €5.9 million in the first half of 2021 from €0.4 million in the first half of 2020. The increase in Third Party product sales was driven by incremental sales related to Valneva’s distribution agreement with Bavarian Nordic for the sales of Rabipur®/RabAvert® and Encepur® in certain territories that commenced in 2021.
Other Revenues, including revenues from collaborations, licensing and services, amounted to €15.7 million in the first half of 2021 compared to €7.0 million in the first half of 2020. This increase was attributable to higher revenues related to the Lyme R&D collaboration agreement with Pfizer, incremental revenues related to the collaboration with Instituto Butantan for providing VLA1553 in LMICs as well as higher revenues generated in the CTM Manufacturing unit in Sweden.

Operating Result and EBITDA
Costs of goods and services sold (COGS) were €34.8 million in the first half of 2021. Gross margin on product sales was 39.2% compared to 55.7% in the first half of 2020. The decline was mainly related to idle capacity costs combined with compressed product sales, both impacting gross margin as a percentage of sales. COGS of €11.7 million were related to IXIARO®/JESPECT® sales, yielding a product gross margin of 54.1%. COGS of €3.6 million were related to DUKORAL® sales, causing a negative product gross margin. Of the remaining COGS in the first half of 2021,
€4.1 million were related to the Third-Party product distribution business, €4.2 million to start-up costs of the COVID-19 business and €11.3 million to cost of services. In the first half of 2020, overall COGS were €22.5 million, of which €18.1 million related to cost of goods and €4.4 million related to cost of services.
Research and development investments continued to increase in the first half of 2021, growing to €78.7 million compared to €33.1 million in the first half of 2020. This was mainly driven by investments in Valneva’s COVID-19 vaccine candidate VLA2001 as well as Phase 3 clinical study costs for Valneva’s chikungunya vaccine program VLA1553. Excluding COVID-19, research and development investments amounted to €32.6 million in the first half of 2021 compared to
€31.5 million in the first half of 2020. Marketing and distribution expenses in the first half of 2021 amounted to €9.6 million compared to €10.0 million in the first half of 2020. The decrease was the result of lower marketing and distribution spend across all Valneva’s direct markets due to reduced sales activity as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Marketing and distribution expenses in the first half of 2021 notably included €2.0 million of expenses related to the launch preparation costs of the chikungunya vaccine candidate (compared to none in the first half of 2020). In the first half of 2021, general and administrative expenses increased to €20.9 million from €10.6 million in the first half of 2020, mainly driven by increased costs to support corporate transactions and projects including increased resources in support of incremental COVID activities.
Other income, net of other expenses, increased to €10.4 million in the first half of 2021 from
€6.5 million in the first half of 2020. This increase was mainly driven by increased R&D tax credits directly resulting from increased R&D spending.
Valneva recorded an operating loss of €86.2 million in the first half of 2021 compared to an operating loss of €21.9 million in the first half of 2020. EBITDA loss in the first half of 2021 was €80.1 million compared to an EBITDA loss of €17.2 million in the first half of 2020.

Net Result
In the first half of 2021, Valneva generated a net loss amounting to €86.4 million compared to a net loss of €25.6 million in the first half of 2020.
Finance costs and currency effects in the first half of 2021 resulted in a net finance income of €0.5 million, compared to a net finance expense of €5.6 million in the first half of 2020. This was mainly a result of foreign exchange gains amounting to €8.7 million in the first half of 2021 primarily driven by revaluation gains of non-Euro denominated balance sheet positions compared to a net foreign exchange loss (net of gains on derivative financial instruments) of €1.7 million in the first half of 2020. Interest charges increased to €8.4 million in the first half of 2021 compared to €3.9 million in the same period of 2020. This growth was driven by increased interest charges related to refund liabilities as well as increased interest charges related to the financing agreement with U.S. healthcare funds Deerfield & OrbiMed entered into in 2020.

Cash Flow and Liquidity
Net cash generated by operating activities amounted to €84.2 million in the first half of 2021 compared to €113.2 million in the first half of 2020 mainly derived by milestone payments related to the COVID supply agreement concluded with the UK Government in September 2020. The net cash generated by operating activities in the first half of 2020 mainly derived from the $130 million upfront payment received from Pfizer related to the Lyme R&D collaboration agreement.
Cash outflows from investing activities amounted to €39.9 million in the first half of 2021 compared to €1.8 million in the first half of 2020 mainly as a result of purchases of equipment related to the site expansion activities for COVID vaccine manufacturing in both Scotland and Sweden.
Net cash generated from financing activities amounted to €78.7 million in the first half of 2021 which was mainly a result of proceeds from issuance of new shares in the U.S. initial public offering and European private placement (Global Offering). Cash inflows in the first half of 2020 amounted to €24.5 million and mainly consisted of net proceeds from the financing arrangement with U.S. healthcare funds Deerfield and OrbiMed, offset by €20.0 million of repayments of borrowings to the European Investment Bank.
Liquid funds increased to €329.8 million as of June 30, 2021 compared to €204.4 million as of December 31, 2020. The main changes related to payments made by the UK Government within the framework of the UK COVID-19 partnership as well as the proceeds from the Global Offering in May 2021.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

Management uses and presents IFRS results as well as the non-IFRS measure of EBITDA to evaluate and communicate its performance. While non-IFRS measures should not be construed as alternatives to IFRS measures, management believes non-IFRS measures are useful as an aid to further understand Valneva’s current performance, performance trends, and financial condition.

EBITDA is a common supplemental measure of performance used by investors and financial analysts. Management believes this measure provide additional analytical tools. EBITDA is defined as earnings (loss) from continuing operations before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization.

A reconciliation of EBITDA to operating loss, the most directly comparable IFRS measure, is set forth below:

€ in million 6 months ending June 30
  2021 2020
Operating Loss (86.2) (21.9)
Add:    
Amortization 3.1 3.0
Depreciation 3.0 1.7
EBITDA (80.1) (17.2)

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 476,000 people in the United States 2 are diagnosed with Lyme disease each year with at least a further 200,000 cases 1 Stanek et al. 2012, The Lancet 379:461 – 473 2 As estimated by the CDC https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/21/9/15 - 0417_article AUGUST 10, 2021 4

 
 

VALNEVA SE H1 2 0 21 occurring annually in Europe 3 . Research suggests that Lyme disease cases may rise 92 % by 2100 in the U . S . due to climate change . Although most patients recover from Lyme disease, 10 - 20 % have persistent symptoms, which for some are chronic and disabling . Studies indicate that Lyme disease costs up to approximately $ 1 . 3 billion each year in direct medical costs in the U . S . alone . The global market for a Lyme disease vaccine is estimated to reach $ 1 billion by 2030 . The transmission of Lyme disease infection is well understood and documented . Borrelia bacteria colonize in the salivary glands of ticks . When a tick attaches for feeding, it injects its saliva into the human or animal host, bringing along with it antihistamines, cytokine blockers and anticoagulants and, in the case of an infected tick, Borrelia bacteria as well . Early symptoms of Lyme disease can often be overlooked or misinterpreted as they are often associated with other, often less severe, illnesses . These symptoms include fever, chills, headache, fatigue, muscle and joint aches, as well as swollen lymph nodes . In 70 - 80 % of cases, a gradually expanding rash called “erythema migrans” forms . As this rash enlarges, it appears as a target or bulls - eye, three to thirty days after infection . Left untreated, the disease can disseminate beyond this initial area into the circulation, the joints, the heart, the brain and the rest of the central nervous system . If not treated, once the infection has progressed it can cause serious complications, including arthritis with severe joint paint, heart palpitations or irregular heartbeat, and inflammation of the brain and spinal cord . When diagnosed sufficiently early, Lyme disease can be successfully treated with a two - week to four - week course of oral antibiotics . However, given that the disease is often misdiagnosed in its early stages, patients often miss this therapeutic window . Additionally, chronic symptoms can commonly persist beyond antibiotic treatment, a set of conditions referred to as Post - Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome, or PTLDS . There are no proven treatments for PTLDS, which often resolves over time but unfortunately may take many months . There is therefore a strong emphasis on prophylactic approaches to preventing the disease through avoiding areas where ticks are prevalent, wearing clothing which minimizes tick exposure, using insect repellants and physically removing ticks that have attached . However, even with education and behavior modification, Lyme disease remains a serious and prevalent disease in the regions where it is endemic . VLA 15 Vaccine Candidate Valneva is advancing a late - stage multivalent vaccine candidate, VLA 15 , which is currently the only vaccine undergoing clinical trials against Lyme disease . VLA 15 is designed to prevent Lyme disease by generating antibodies that target the OspA protein on the surface of Borrelia , killing the bacteria before it can be transmitted from the infected tick to the human host . The program was granted Fast Track designation by the U . S . Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in July 2017 4 and, in April 2020 , Valneva announced a collaboration with Pfizer for late clinical development and commercialization of VLA 15 . If approved, Pfizer will commercialize VLA 15 and Valneva will be eligible to receive substantial milestone and royalty payments 5 . Valneva has reported topline results for two Phase 2 clinical trials of VLA 15 in over 800 healthy adults, in which VLA 15 generated high levels of antibodies against all six Borrelia strains . Valneva and Pfizer announced in December 2020 that they had accelerated the development of VLA 15 for pediatric use with an additional Phase 2 clinical trial, VLA 15 - 221 , initiated in March 2021 . The trial builds on previous positive Phase 2 trials and includes both adult and pediatric participants with the aim to support acceleration of the 3 As estimated from available national data.

VALNEVA SE H1 2 0 21 vaccine candidate’s pediatric program . In July 2021 , Pfizer and Valneva announced recruitment completion for VLA 15 - 221 with a total of 625 participants, 5 to 65 years of age, randomized in the trial . The objective of the trial is to show safety and immunogenicity down to 5 years of age and to evaluate the optimal vaccination schedule for use in Phase 3 . Topline results for VLA 15 - 221 are expected in the first half of 2022 . Chikungunya Vaccine Candidate – VLA 1553 Overview of the Chikungunya Virus Chikungunya is a mosquito - borne virus posing a serious public health problem in tropical and sub - tropical regions . Chikungunya virus often causes sudden large outbreaks with high attack rates, affecting one - third to three - quarters of the population in areas where the virus is circulating and can cause a significant economic impact . There have been more than three million reported cases in the Americas since the virus first arrived there in 2013 . In 2020 , there were approximately 95 , 000 suspected cases reported in the Americas and well as approximately 32 , 000 suspected cases in India and 11 , 000 in Thailand . The true incidence of chikungunya is likely to be much higher due to the level of under - reporting, with available studies suggesting an under - reporting factor of five times due to difficulty in diagnosing the symptoms, which can be similar to those of dengue and Zika, and due to lack of access to good medical care in certain areas where outbreaks are prevalent . Chikungunya infection is characterized by an acute onset of fever, rash, myalgia and sometimes debilitating arthritic pain in multiple joints . Chikungunya causes symptomatic infection in 72 - 92 % of infected humans around four to seven days after infection . Mortality of chikungunya is low (< 1 % ) but the chronicity of its joint pain (arthralgia) and inflammatory symptoms represent a significant burden of disease with potential long - term debilitating impact . In addition to having significant impact on patients who become infected, chikungunya is highly transmissible and prior outbreaks have led to significant spread of the virus . No vaccine to prevent chikungunya infection has been approved . The current standard of care to treat individuals who have become infected with chikungunya is the application of non - steroidal anti - inflammatory drugs to relieve symptoms . To date, preventive measures rely on avoiding mosquito bites . Effective mosquito control has proven challenging, even in higher income countries . VLA 1553 Vaccine Candidate Valneva has developed VLA 1553 , a live - attenuated single dose vaccine candidate against the chikungunya virus . It has been designed by deleting specific segments of the virus, thereby weakening, or attenuating, the virus . To Valneva’s knowledge, VLA 1553 is currently the only chikungunya vaccine candidate in Phase 3 clinical trials that targets long - term protection following the administration of a single dose . Valneva intends to commercialize VLA 1553 , if approved, as part of its travel vaccine portfolio through leveraging its existing manufacturing and commercial operations . The global market for vaccines against chikungunya is estimated to exceed $ 500 million annually by 2032 . At the beginning of August 2021 , Valneva reported positive topline results for the Phase 3 pivotal trial of VLA 1553 . The trial, involving 4 , 115 adults, aged 18 years and above, across 44 sites in the U . S . , met its primary endpoint inducing protective CHIKV neutralizing antibody titers in 98 . 5 % of participants 28 days after receiving a single shot ( 264 of 268 subjects from the per - protocol subgroup tested for immunogenicity, 95 % CI : 96 . 2 - 99 . 6 ) . The seroprotection rate result of 98 . 5 % exceeded the 70 % threshold (for non - acceptance) agreed with the FDA . The seroprotective titer was agreed with the FDA to serve as a surrogate of protection that can be utilized in a potential FDA submission of VLA 1553 under the accelerated approval AUGUST 10, 2021 6

 
 

VALNEVA SE H1 2 0 21 pathway . The vaccine candidate was highly immunogenic with a GMT of approximately 3 , 270 , confirming the immunogenicity profile seen in the Phase 1 trial . Additionally, VLA 1553 was also highly immunogenic in elderly Phase 3 study participants, who achieved equally high seroprotection rates and neutralizing antibody titers as younger adults, as well as an equally good safety profile . VLA 1553 was generally well tolerated among the 3 , 082 subjects evaluated for safety . An independent Data Safety Monitoring Board continuously monitored the study and identified no safety concerns . The safety profile is consistent with results from the Phase 1 clinical trial . The majority of solicited adverse events were mild or moderate and resolved within 3 days . 1 . 6 % of study participants reported severe solicited adverse events, most commonly fever . Approximately 50 % of study participants experienced solicited systemic adverse events, most commonly headache, fatigue and myalgia (seen in more than 20 % of subjects) . The local tolerability profile showed that approximately 15 % of participants experienced solicited local adverse events . The trial will continue towards final analysis including the six - month safety data . Final trial results are expected within the next six months . Valneva’s chikungunya program was awarded Breakthrough Therapy Designation by the FDA in July 2021 . This new milestone came in addition to the FDA Fast Track designation and the European Medicines Agency (EMA)’s PRIME designation which the Company received in December 2018 and in October 2020 , respectively . The sponsor of the first chikungunya vaccine approved in the U . S . will be eligible to receive a Priority Review Voucher (PRV) . To make VLA 1553 more accessible to Low - and Middle - Income Countries (LMIC), Valneva and Instituto Butantan in Brazil signed an agreement in January 2021 for the development, manufacturing and marketing of VLA 1553 . The collaboration falls within the framework of the funding agreement between Valneva and the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) signed in July 2019 , which provides funding of up to $ 23 . 4 million with support from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 program . SARS - CoV - 2 Vaccine Candidate – VLA 2001 Overview of COVID - 19 COVID - 19 is a disease caused by infection with SARS - CoV - 2 , a strain of coronavirus . Respiratory illness is the most common symptom associated with COVID - 19 with a severity ranging from mild disease to life - threatening acute respiratory distress syndrome . Patients with advanced age, comorbidities such as obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease, or an immunocompromised state are at increased risk for poor outcomes . COVID - 19 has been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) . As of July 15 , 2021 , more than 190 million people have been infected and COVID - 19 has caused more than 4 million deaths worldwide 6 . While a number of vaccines against COVID - 19 have already been approved for use and multiple candidates remain in late - stage development, VLA 2001 currently is the only inactivated, whole virus vaccine candidate in clinical trials in Europe . Valneva believes VLA 2001 , if approved, could potentially offer clear benefits compared to other vaccines that obtain initial regulatory approvals in terms of safety, cost, ease of 6 COVID Live Update: Worldometer (worldometers.info) AUGUST 10, 2021 7

 
 

VALNEVA SE H1 2 0 21 manufacture and distribution, and could also be rapidly adapted to offer protection against mutations of the virus . VLA 2001 may also be suited for boosting, as repeat booster vaccinations have been shown to work well with whole virus inactivated vaccines . VLA 2001 Vaccine Candidate VLA 2001 is an inactivated, adjuvanted, whole - virus vaccine candidate produced on Valneva’s established Vero - cell platform, leveraging the manufacturing technology for Valneva’s licensed Japanese encephalitis vaccine, IXIARO ® . VLA 2001 consists of inactivated whole virus particles of SARS - CoV - 2 with high S - protein density, in combination with two adjuvants, alum and CpG 1018 . This adjuvant combination has consistently induced higher antibody levels in preclinical experiments than alum - only formulations and shown a shift of the immune response towards Th 1 . CpG 1018 adjuvant, supplied by Dynavax Technologies Corporation (Nasdaq : DVAX), is a component of the U . S . FDA - and EMA - approved HEPLISAV - B ® vaccine . The manufacturing process for VLA 2001 includes chemical inactivation with Betapropiolactone (BPL) to preserve the native structure of the S - protein . VLA 2001 is expected to conform with standard cold chain requirements ( 2 degrees to 8 degrees Celsius) . In September 2020 , Valneva announced a collaboration with the UK government, which has the option to purchase up to 190 million doses through 2025 7 . So far, the UK government has ordered 100 million doses for supply in 2021 and 2022 . Valneva is also in discussions with the European Commission . At the beginning of June 2021 , Valneva announced that recruitment had been completed for VLA 2001 ’s pivotal Phase 3 trial “Cov - Compare” (VLA 2001 - 301 ) with over 4 , 000 randomized participants . In the Phase 1 / 2 clinical trial, VLA 2001 showed high immunogenicity and was generally well tolerated, with no safety concerns identified 8 . Cov - Compare phase 3 topline data are expected early in the fourth quarter of 2021 . Valneva expects to commence rolling submission with the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency in the coming weeks and, subject to the Phase 3 data, believes that initial approval may be granted by the end of 2021 . In parallel to the Cov - Compare trial, Valneva has developed viral seed banks to be in a position to manufacture variant - based vaccines . Valneva is also participating in a UK government - funded clinical trial looking at different COVID - 19 ‘booster’ vaccines . The COV - Boost trial, led by University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust, looks at seven different COVID - 19 vaccines, including VLA 2001 , as potential boosters . It will be the first trial in the world to provide vital data on how effective a booster of each vaccine is in protecting individuals from the virus . The COV - Boost trial is now fully recruited and initial results are expected in September 2021 . Valneva has also commenced production of VLA 2001 at its facilities in Scotland and Sweden in order to optimize the timeline for potential deliveries of the vaccine . 1 . 2 . 2 Commercial products Valneva commercializes two fully owned travel vaccines, IXIARO ® /JESPECT ® and DUKORAL ® . Sales from these two products are complemented by sales from the distribution of third - party products in markets where Valneva operates its own marketing and sales infrastructure (US, Canada, Nordic countries, UK, Austria and France) . Sales in the first half of 2021 have been adversely affected by the COVID - 19 pandemic’s impact on the travel industry and amounted to € 31 . 8 million compared to € 40 . 9 million in the first half of 2020 . 7 Valneva Confirms Participation in UK Government COVID - 19 Vaccine Response Program 8 Valneva Reports Positive Phase 1/2 Data for Its Inactivated, Adjuvanted COVID - 19 Vaccine Candidate, VLA2001 AUGUST 10, 2021 8

 
 

VALNEVA SE H1 2 0 21 Japanese encephalitis vaccine (IXIARO ® /JESPECT ® ) Valneva’s Japanese encephalitis vaccine is the only approved and available vaccine for European and American travelers visiting endemic areas and for U . S . military personnel being deployed to those areas . It is licensed in more than thirty - five countries and marketed under the trade names IXIARO ® in North America, Europe, Hong Kong, Singapore and Israel, and under the trade name JESPECT ® in Australia and New Zealand . Since the approval of IXIARO ® /JESPECT ® in 2009 , the vaccine label has been extended by the EMA and the FDA for use in children from the age of two months . In addition, an accelerated, alternative vaccination schedule (seven days apart) for adult travelers ( 18 - 65 years) was approved by the EMA in 2015 as well as Health Canada and the FDA in 2018 . In March 2020 , the FDA approved the extension of IXIARO ® ’s shelf life from 24 months to 36 months 9 , an important achievement supporting supply management flexibility . For the past ten years, the Company, together with its marketing & distribution partners, has successfully increased penetration until the COVID - 19 pandemic significantly impacted sales due to the decline in travel . Valneva distributes IXIARO ® directly to the U . S . Government’s Department of Defense (DoD) . In September 2020 , the Defense Logistics Agency, or DLA, awarded Valneva a new contract for the supply of IXIARO ® . The terms of the agreement contemplate an initial base year followed by two option years, each with a range of minimum and maximum potential dose orders . The current base year has a minimum value of approximately $ 53 million for 370 , 000 doses, and the option years have minimum values of $ 46 million for 320 , 000 doses and $ 36 million for 250 , 000 doses, respectively, if DLA exercises those options . In the first half of 2021 , revenues from IXIARO ® /JESPECT ® product sales were € 25 . 4 million compared to € 28 . 4 million in the first half of 2020 . Sales continued to be affected by the impact of the COVID - 19 outbreak on the travel market . Cholera / ETEC 10 vaccine (DUKORAL ® ) Valneva’s cholera vaccine DUKORAL ® is an oral vaccine for the prevention of diarrhea caused by Vibrio cholera and/or heat labile toxin producing ETEC the leading cause of travelers’ diarrhea . It is authorized for use in the EU and Australia to protect against cholera and in Canada, Switzerland, New Zealand and Thailand to protect against cholera and ETEC . DUKORAL ® is indicated for adults and children from 2 years of age who will be visiting endemic areas . DUKORAL ® was first granted authorization for use in Sweden in 1991 . In 2004 , DUKORAL ® was granted a marketing authorization by the European Commission for European Union members (including Norway and Iceland) and was prequalified by the WHO . In the first half of 2021 , revenues from DUKORAL ® sales reached € 0 . 4 million compared to € 12 . 1 million in the first half of 2020 . DUKORAL ® sales were adversely impacted by the COVID - 19 outbreak on the travel market . 1.2.3 Other additional sources of revenues 9 Valneva Announces FDA Approval of IXIARO ® Shelf Life Extension to 36 Months ; New US Military RFP Issued 10 Indications differ by country - Please refer to Product / Prescribing Information (PI) / Medication Guide approved in your respective countries for complete information, incl . dosing, safety and age groups in which this vaccine is licensed, ETEC = Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (E .

VALNEVA SE H1 2 0 21 Third - party distribution To further leverage its commercial infrastructure, Valneva distributes certain third - party vaccines in countries where it operates its own marketing and sales infrastructure . In June 2020 , the Company entered into a distribution agreement with Bavarian Nordic, pursuant to which it agreed to commercialize Bavarian Nordic’s marketed vaccines for rabies and tick - borne encephalitis, leveraging its commercial infrastructure in Canada, the United Kingdom, France and Austria . In the first half of 2021 , total revenues from third party distribution were € 5 . 9 million compared to € 0 . 4 million in the first half of 2020 . Collaborations, Licensing and Services Valneva derives revenues from collaboration and partnership agreements . The Company’s primary source of collaboration revenues is currently through its research collaboration and license agreement with Pfizer Inc . , entered into in April 2020 , to co - develop and commercialize the Company’s Lyme vaccine candidate, VLA 15 . As partial consideration for the license grant under the agreement, in June 2020 Pfizer paid Valneva a one - time upfront payment of $ 130 million . Under the terms of the agreement, Valneva and Pfizer will each contribute towards development costs, and Pfizer is obligated to pay Valneva up to $ 178 million in development milestones and low double - digit tiered royalties starting at 19 % on net sales of licensed products, subject to specified offsets and reductions . In September 2020 , Valneva also entered into a collaboration with the government of the UK, pursuant to which the government ordered 60 million doses of VLA 2001 , Valneva’s COVID - 19 vaccine candidate, for delivery in the second half of 2021 and in 2022 . In January 2021 , the UK government exercised its option to order 40 million doses of VLA 2001 for supply in 2022 . The UK government retains options over a further 90 million doses for supply between 2023 and 2025 . Valneva also derives revenues from its technologies and services . Services revenues consist of research and development services Valneva provides to third parties, including process and assay development, production and testing of clinical trial material . Revenues from technologies consist of license revenues from its EB 66 ® cell line, which is derived from duck embryonic stem cells and provides an alternative to the use of chicken eggs for large scale manufacturing of human and veterinary vaccines, and its IC 31 ® vaccine adjuvant, which is a synthetic adjuvant targeting antigens to improve immune response and has been licensed to several pharmaceutical companies .

VALNEVA SE H1 2 0 21 1.3 Financial Review FIRST HALF 2021 FINANCIAL REVIEW (unaudited, consolidated under IFRS) Revenues Valneva’s total revenues were € 47 . 5 million in the first half of 2021 compared to € 47 . 9 million in the first half of 2020 . Product sales declined by 22 . 4 % to € 31 . 8 million in the first half of 2021 compared to € 40 . 9 million in the first half of 2020 . On a CER basis 11 , product sales declined by 18 . 6 % in the first half of 2021 compared to the first half of 2020 due to the impact of the COVID - 19 pandemic on the travel industry . IXIARO ® /JESPECT ® sales declined by 10 . 6 % ( 3 . 5 % at CER) to € 25 . 4 million and DUKORAL ® sales by 96 . 5 % ( 96 . 6 % at CER) to € 0 . 4 million in the first half of 2021 compared to € 28 . 4 million and € 12 . 1 million respectively in the first half of 2020 . Third Party product sales grew to € 5 . 9 million in the first half of 2021 from € 0 . 4 million in the first half of 2020 . The increase in Third Party product sales was driven by incremental sales related to Valneva’s distribution agreement with Bavarian Nordic for the sales of Rabipur ® /RabAvert ® and Encepur ® in certain territories that commenced in 2021 . Other Revenues, including revenues from collaborations, licensing and services, amounted to € 15 . 7 million in the first half of 2021 compared to € 7 . 0 million in the first half of 2020 . This increase was attributable to higher revenues related to the Lyme R&D collaboration agreement with Pfizer, incremental revenues related to the collaboration with Instituto Butantan for providing VLA 1553 in LMICs as well as higher revenues generated in the CTM Manufacturing unit in Sweden . Operating Result and EBITDA Costs of goods and services sold (COGS) were € 34 . 8 million in the first half of 2021 . Gross margin on product sales was 39 . 2 % compared to 55 . 7 % in the first half of 2020 . The decline was mainly related to idle capacity costs combined with compressed product sales, both impacting gross margin as a percentage of sales . COGS of € 11 . 7 million were related to IXIARO ® /JESPECT ® sales, yielding a product gross margin of 54 . 1 % . COGS of € 3 . 6 million were related to DUKORAL ® sales, causing a negative product gross margin . Of the remaining COGS in the first half of 2021 , € 4 . 1 million were related to the Third - Party product distribution business, € 4 . 2 million to start - up costs of the COVID - 19 business and € 11 . 3 million to cost of services . In the first half of 2020 , overall COGS were € 22 . 5 million, of which € 18 . 1 million related to cost of goods and € 4 . 4 million related to cost of services . Research and development investments continued to increase in the first half of 2021 , growing to € 78 . 7 million compared to € 33 . 1 million in the first half of 2020 . This was mainly driven by investments in Valneva’s COVID - 19 vaccine candidate VLA 2001 as well as Phase 3 clinical study costs for Valneva’s chikungunya vaccine program VLA 1553 . Excluding VLA 2001 , research and development investments amounted to € 32 . 6 million in the first half of 2021 compared to € 31 . 5 million in the first half of 2020 . Marketing and distribution expenses in the first half of 2021 amounted to € 9 . 6 million compared to € 10 . 0 million in the first half of 2020 . The decrease was the result of lower marketing and distribution spend across all Valneva’s direct markets due to reduced sales activity as a result of the COVID - 19 pandemic . 11 CER: Constant Exchange Rate; First half 2020 actuals restated to first half 2021 average exchange rates AUGUST 10, 2021 12

 
 

VALNEVA SE H1 2 0 21 Marketing and distribution expenses in the first half of 2021 notably included € 2 . 0 million of expenses related to the launch preparation costs of the chikungunya vaccine candidate (compared to none in the first half of 2020 ) . In the first half of 2021 , general and administrative expenses increased to € 20 . 9 million from € 10 . 6 million in the first half of 2020 , mainly driven by increased costs to support corporate transactions and projects including increased resources in support of incremental COVID activities . Other income, net of other expenses, increased to € 10 . 4 million in the first half of 2021 from € 6 . 5 million in the first half of 2020 . This increase was mainly driven by increased R&D tax credits directly resulting from increased R&D spending . Valneva recorded an operating loss of € 86 . 2 million in the first half of 2021 compared to an operating loss of € 21 . 9 million in the first half of 2020 . EBITDA loss in the first half of 2021 was € 80 . 1 million compared to an EBITDA loss of € 17 . 2 million in the first half of 2020 . Net Result In the first half of 2021, Valneva generated a net loss amounting to €86.4 million compared to a net loss of €25.6 million in the first half of 2020. Finance costs and currency effects in the first half of 2021 resulted in a net finance income of € 0 . 5 million, compared to a net finance expense of € 5 . 6 million in the first half of 2020 . This was mainly a result of foreign exchange gains amounting to € 8 . 7 million in the first half of 2021 primarily driven by revaluation gains of non - Euro denominated balance sheet positions compared to a net foreign exchange loss (net of gains on derivative financial instruments) of € 1 . 7 million in the first half of 2020 . Interest charges increased to € 8 . 4 million in the first half of 2021 compared to € 3 . 9 million in the same period of 2020 . This growth was driven by increased interest charges related to refund liabilities as well as increased interest charges related to the financing agreement with U . S . healthcare funds Deerfield & OrbiMed entered into in 2020 . Cash Flow and Liquidity Net cash generated by operating activities amounted to € 84 . 2 million in the first half of 2021 compared to € 113 . 2 million in the first half of 2020 mainly derived by milestone payments related to the COVID supply agreement concluded with the UK government in September 2020 . The net cash generated by operating activities in the first half of 2020 mainly derived from the $ 130 million upfront payment received from Pfizer related to the Lyme R&D collaboration agreement . Cash outflows from investing activities amounted to € 39 . 9 million in the first half of 2021 compared to € 1 . 8 million in the first half of 2020 mainly as a result of purchases of equipment related to the site expansion activities for COVID vaccine manufacturing in both Scotland and Sweden . Net cash generated from financing activities amounted to € 78 . 7 million in the first half of 2021 which was mainly a result of proceeds from issuance of new shares in the U . S . initial public offering and European private placement (Global Offering) . Cash inflows in the first half of 2020 amounted to € 24 . 5 million and mainly consisted of net proceeds from the financing arrangement with U . S . healthcare funds Deerfield and OrbiMed, offset by € 20 . 0 million of repayments of borrowings to the European Investment Bank . Liquid funds increased to € 329 . 8 million as of June 30 , 2021 compared to € 204 . 4 million as of December 31 , 2020 . The main changes related to payments made by the UK government within the framework of the UK COVID - 19 partnership as well as the proceeds from the Global Offering in May 2021 .

VALNEVA SE H1 2 0 21 Non - IFRS Financial Measures Management uses and presents IFRS results as well as the non - IFRS measure of EBITDA to evaluate and communicate its performance . While non - IFRS measures should not be construed as alternatives to IFRS measures, management believes non - IFRS measures are useful as an aid to further understand Valneva’s current performance, performance trends, and financial condition . EBITDA is a common supplemental measure of performance used by investors and financial analysts . Management believes this measure provide additional analytical tools . EBITDA is defined as earnings (loss) from continuing operations before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization . A reconciliation of EBITDA to operating loss, the most directly comparable IFRS measure, is set forth below : AUGUST 10, 2021 14 € in million 6 months ending June 30 2021 2020 Operating Loss (86.2) (21.9) Add: Amortization 3.1 3.0 Depreciation 3.0 1.7 EBITDA (80.1) (17.2) 1.4 Operational and Strategic Outlook 2021 Noting the impact of the COVID - 19 pandemic on Valneva’s travel vaccines sales in the first half of the year and the revenue recognition of the Pfizer and UK government deals, Valneva reconfirms its 2021 guidance range for : • • Total revenues, excluding VLA2001, of €80 million to €105 million R&D expenses, excluding VLA2001, of €65 million to €75 million Strategically, Valneva will continue to utilize its proven product development capabilities to advance its clinical programs to regulatory approval and commercialization . As the Company advances its late - stage portfolio, it also remains committed to investing in its research and development pipeline in order to develop a balanced pipeline . This will include earlier stage R&D assets as well as new targets and indications where it believes it can make a significant difference . To execute this strategy, Valneva is pursuing the following near - term goals :  Advance VLA 15 for the prevention of Lyme disease, in collaboration with Pfizer .  Complete development and seek regulatory approval for VLA1553 as a prophylactic vaccine candidate against chikungunya virus.  Complete development, s eek regulatory approval for and commercialize VLA2001 as a prophylactic vaccine candidate for the prevention of COVID - 19.  Continue to fund its research and development pipeline and manufacturing platform.  Pursue partnerships to maximize full potential of clinical and commercial portfolio.

 
 

VALNEVA SE H1 2 0 21  Deepen its pipeline of pre - clinical and clinical programs to develop new vaccines addressing diseases with significant unmet need. 1 . 5 Risk Factors The Company considers that the risk factors discussed below are the main risks and uncertainties that the Company may face in the remaining six months of 2021 . These risk factors track those in section 1 . 5 of the Company’s universal registration document ( document d’enregistrement universel ) submitted to the French Financial Markets Authority ( Autorité des Marchés Financiers or AMF), on April 9 , 2021 (AMF number D . 21 - 0286 ) . These are not the only risks and uncertainties facing the Company and may also occur in future years . The Company invites investors to review its universal registration document and other public disclosure for additional information . The development of innovative products includes the inherent risk of failure and the Company is therefore exposed to significant industry - specific risks . Valneva is subject to additional risks because (a) its COVID - 19 vaccine is still being developed and (b) most of its other revenues, excluding grants, arise from two commercialized vaccines only, namely DUKORAL ® and IXIARO ® /JESPECT ® , and these belong to the market segment of travel vaccines which has been severely affected by the COVID - 19 pandemic and is now expected to recover slowly . Management has established a risk management system in order to monitor and mitigate the risks associated with its business . However, the Company remains exposed to significant risks, including the following : Failure to develop Valneva’s COVID - 19 vaccine candidate . Valneva’s COVID - 19 vaccine candidate, VLA 2001 , is currently in Phase 3 clinical trials in the UK, and the Company expects to announce topline results of this trial early in the fourth quarter of 2021 . Valneva expects to commence rolling submission with the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency in the coming weeks and, subject to the Phase 3 data, believes that initial approval may be granted by the end of 2021 . Additionally, VLA 2001 is one of the vaccines being tested in a booster trial sponsored by the UK government, and topline results from this study are expected in September 2021 . If the results of the ongoing trials are not as expected, this could prevent or significantly delay regulatory approval and commercialization of VLA 2001 . Numerous other factors could also delay or prevent development and commercialization of VLA 2001 , including but not limited to technical or scientific failures, inability to enter into agreements with key suppliers, inability or unwillingness of key suppliers to provide equipment or materials on time, competition to recruit patients for clinical trials, difficulties in developing or reproducing biological manufacturing processes, rejection by health authorities of clinical trial or marketing applications, changes in customer priorities (for example, preference for a vaccine based on a particular strain of the virus or for a vaccine based on a particular technology), lower levels of efficacy of the current formulation of VLA 2001 against additional variants of the virus, or termination of a key customer agreement (such as the agreement with the UK government) or supplier agreement (such as the agreement with Dynavax) . A failure to develop this vaccine candidate may result in financial losses due to restructuring costs and development expenses . Further, Valneva’s stock price and market capitalization, including through the Company’s Nasdaq listing in May, have significantly increased since Valneva announced its COVID - 19 program . The trading price of Valneva’s shares listed on Euronext Paris and its American Depositary Shares listed on Nasdaq as well as Valneva’s overall market capitalization and ability to raise financing in the future may be severely affected if Valneva experiences significant setbacks in the development or commercialization of VLA 2001 or stops development altogether . AUGUST 10, 2021 15

 
 

VALNEVA SE H1 2 0 21 Slow recovery of product sales . In the context of the COVID - 19 pandemic, Valneva plans for product sales recovery based on resumption of travel as expected by the travel industry, notably airlines . The evolving nature of the pandemic, particularly the emergence and impact of new variants of the virus, makes it difficult to predict when, where, and at what rate the travel industry will recover . If international travel does not resume as quickly or as much as planned, Valneva’s revenues will be severely affected, and the Company may have to seek additional financing to complete (or contribute to) the development of its vaccine candidates . Such additional financing may then be very difficult to get under those circumstances . Additionally, the need of the U . S . DoD for IXIARO ® depends on the frequency of troop rotation, among other things, and it is possible that the DoD will not exercise its option years under the existing agreement in full or at all . Further factors may also affect the level of product sales in future, including recommendations by global and local health organizations, a potential review of approved indications by health authorities (notably for DUKORAL ® ), the ability of customers to pay for treatment costs and stronger competition . While the Company makes every effort to support review processes in the best interest of travelers, it cannot be ruled out that existing vaccination recommendations or indications may change in the future . Manufacturing and procurement risks . The Company's manufacturing facilities in Livingston, Scotland, and Solna, Sweden, are, and will continue to be, significant factors in growing revenues from product sales and maintaining control over production costs . The manufacturing of biological materials is a complex undertaking and technical problems may occur . Valneva may experience delays (including relating to the construction of additional manufacturing facilities at its Livingston site), be unsuccessful in manufacturing or face difficulties in the ability to manufacture its products according to market demands or in meeting regulatory requirements . Biological manufacturing is subject to government regulation and regular inspection . It is not possible to predict the changes that regulatory authorities may require during the life cycle of a novel vaccine, including any of the Company’s vaccine candidates . Such changes may be costly and may affect the Company's sales and marketing and product revenue expectations . The failure to comply with regulatory requirements, including current Good Manufacturing Practices, or a deficiency in quality control could give rise to regulatory actions or suspensions, revocations of manufacturing licenses, supply failures, and/or product recalls . The risk of suspension or revocation of a license also applies to third parties with whom the Company has entered into manufacturing, supply, distribution or services agreements . The Company's manufacturing facility in Livingston, Scotland, is the sole source of drug substances for IXIARO ® and the chikungunya vaccine candidate . The Company's manufacturing facility in Solna, Sweden, is the sole source of commercial quantities of the DUKORAL ® vaccine and will perform finishing operations on the COVID - 19 vaccine candidate . The destruction of either of these facilities by fire or other catastrophic events would prevent the Company from manufacturing the relevant products and supplying its customers or its clinical trial centers, any of which would cause considerable losses . In addition, the Company’s business requires the use of hazardous materials, which increases the Company's exposure to dangerous and costly accidents that may result in accidental contamination or injury to people or the environment . In addition, the business is subject to stringent environmental health and safety and other laws, regulations and standards, which result in costs related to compliance and remediation efforts that may adversely affect the Company's performance and financial condition . Finally, the Company depends upon third - party manufacturers and contractors for the manufacture and supply of its commercial vaccines and product candidates, including the COVID - 19 vaccine candidate . If such a third party could no longer provide services, the Company may not be able to supply one or more of its vaccines for several months, and consequently would face considerable losses . Should these third parties fail to meet requirements, the development and commercialization of the Company’s product and product candidates may be limited or delayed, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, and results of operations . AUGUST 10, 2021 16

 
 

VALNEVA SE H1 2 0 21 Product development and approval risks . The Company's R&D activities, and in particular the clinical development of its Lyme, chikungunya and COVID - 19 vaccine candidates, are expensive and time - consuming . The result of these R&D activities is inherently uncertain, and the Company may experience delays or failures . In order to continue to develop and commercialize its product candidates, the Company will require regulatory approvals from regulatory agencies, which may be delayed or denied if the Company cannot establish the safety and efficacy of its product candidates, primarily through clinical trial data . The Company expects to report data from clinical trials of all of its vaccine candidates during the second half of 2021 and anticipates applying for initial regulatory approvals of its COVID - 19 vaccine candidate during the same period . Failure to demonstrate efficacy or safety in clinical trials, delays or failures in development, changes in regulatory requirements, or other adverse events may force the Company to stop development of its product candidates, prevent regulatory approval of its product candidates, or impact its existing products, any of which could materially harm its business . Risk relating to vaccine partnerships . The Company’s strategic partnership with Pfizer to develop and commercialize Valneva’s Lyme disease vaccine candidate and the Company’s cooperation with the UK Vaccines Task Force to develop and manufacture Valneva’s COVID - 19 vaccine candidate are of critical importance to the Company . If either of these partnerships fails or is terminated for any reason, the Company may be unable to find another partner . In such a case, Valneva will not have sufficient financial resources to complete Phase 3 development of the Lyme disease vaccine candidate alone, and Valneva may be unable to complete development of its COVID - 19 vaccine candidate as anticipated or at all . Listing on Nasdaq . The Company completed an initial public offering of American Depositary Shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on May 11 , 2021 . As a company listed in the U . S . , Valneva must now comply with U . S . regulations relating to public disclosure and accounting, among other areas . Compliance with these new regulations is complex, requires additional time and expense, and may divert the attention of management from other matters, which could negatively impact the Company’s business . Additionally, there is a higher risk of shareholder litigation associated with companies listed in the U . S . , and such risk may make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified candidates for Valneva’s Supervisory Board or management . Such litigation could also divert time, attention, and resources away from the Company’s business . Failing to comply with applicable U . S . regulations or involvement in lawsuits with U . S . investors could have significant consequences for the Company and could materially impact the Company’s business and results of operations . Risks relating to the ongoing pandemic . In addition to the other risks of the ongoing COVID - 19 pandemic described above, the Company may face further or additional operational challenges due to government restrictions imposed and/or illness at any of Valneva’s sites . This risk may become greater if new variants of the virus prove more contagious and/or if existing vaccines prove less effective against such variants . Litigation . Risks associated with litigation are set out in note 25 to the H 1 financial statements (section 3 of this report) . Further risk factors are set out in Valneva’s universal registration document filed with the AMF on April 9 , 2021 under number D . 21 - 0286 . 1.6 Related Parties’ Transactions In the first six months of 2021 and 2020 , there was no transaction or change in transactions between related parties which materially affected Valneva’s financial position or performance .

VALNEVA SE H1 2 0 21 2. STATUTORY AUDITORS’ REVIEW REPORT ON THE HALF YEAR FINANCIAL INFORMATION (PERIOD FROM JANUARY 1 TO JUNE 30, 2021) AUGUST 10, 2021 18 This is a free translation into English of the Statutory Auditors’ review report issued in French and is provided solely for the convenience of English speaking readers . This report includes information relating to the specific verification of information given in the Group’s half - yearly management report . This report should be read in conjunction with, and construed in accordance with, French law and professional standards applicable in France . To the Shareholders, In compliance with the assignment entrusted to us by your annual general meetings and in accordance with the requirements of article L . 451 - 1 - 2 III of the French Monetary and Financial Code (“ Code monétaire et financier” ), we hereby report to you on :  the review of the accompanying condensed half - yearly consolidated financial statements of Valneva, for the period from January 1 to June 30, 2021;  the verification of the information presented in the half - yearly management report. Due to the global crisis related to the Covid - 19 pandemic, the condensed half - yearly consolidated financial statements of this period have been prepared and reviewed under specific conditions . Indeed, this crisis and the exceptional measures taken in the context of the state of sanitary emergency have had numerous consequences for companies, particularly on their operations and their financing, and have led to greater uncertainties on their future prospects . Those measures, such as travel restrictions and remote working, have also had an impact on the companies' internal organization and the performance of our procedures . These condensed half - yearly consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Management Board . Our role is to express a conclusion on these financial statements based on our review . 1 . Conclusion on the financial statements We conducted our review in accordance with professional standards applicable in France . A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures . A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards applicable in France and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit . Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion . Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed half - yearly consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 - standard of the IFRSs as adopted by the European Union applicable to interim financial information .

 
 

VALNEVA SE H1 2 0 21 2 .

VALNEVA SE H1 2 0 21 SELECTED NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT 1 . Basis of preparation The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Valneva SE (“the Company”) together with its subsidiaries (the “Group” or “Valneva”) as of June 30 , 2021 and for the six months ended June 30 , 2021 and June 30 , 2020 , have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the European Union authorizing the presentation of selected explanatory notes . In consequence, these consolidated financial statements must be read in conjunction with the consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended December 31 , 2020 included in the Company’s Universal Registration Document . Since December 31 , 2020 , no separate line for “amortization and impairment of fixed assets/intangibles” in the consolidated income statement is shown, but those amounts are included in the lines “Cost of goods and services” and “Research and development expenses” . This split was made to improve the profit and loss disclosure per function . For the six months ended June 30 , 2020 , the amount of € 1 , 440 thousand of amortization and impairment of fixed assets/intangible was reclassified to “Cost of goods and services” in the amount of € 1 , 406 thousand and to “Research and development expenses” in the amount of € 34 thousand . In addition the presentation of equity changed to a more detailed presentation to provide additional information on the balance sheets as well as on the statements of changes in equity . The comparable period was adjusted accordingly to maintain comparability . The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company were approved by the Management Board and authorized for issuance by the Supervisory Board on August 9 , 2021 . The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31 , 2020 . Standards, amendments to existing standards and interpretations adopted by the European Union whose application has been mandatory since January 1 , 2021 A number of amended standards became applicable for the current reporting period . The Group did not have to change its accounting policies or make retrospective adjustments as a result of adopting these amended standards . Standards, amendments to existing standards and interpretations adopted by the European Union whose application is not yet mandatory No standards, amendments to existing standards, or interpretations published that were not yet applicable as of June 30 , 2021 , are expected to significantly impact the Company’s financial statements . No standards or interpretations were adopted early if they are not mandatory to apply in 2021 . For ease of presentation, numbers have been rounded and, where indicated, are presented in thousands of Euros . Calculations, however, are based on exact figures . Therefore, the sum of the numbers in a column of a table may not conform to the total figure displayed in the column .

VALNEVA SE H1 2 0 21 SIGNIFICANT EVENTS OF THE PERIOD COVID - 19 The Group has been and could continue to be materially adversely affected by the current COVID - 19 pandemic in regions where Valneva has significant manufacturing facilities, concentrations of clinical trial sites, or other business operations . COVID - 19 has adversely impacted sales of travel vaccines to the general public, with travel to endemic areas significantly reduced compared to 2019 . DUKORAL and IXIARO are aimed at diseases that primarily threaten travelers to particular regions . As a result, sales of these vaccines have decreased significantly, adversely impacting the Company’s financial results . The Group expects to remain impacted by the significant reduction in international travel following the onset of the global COVID - 19 pandemic . In its July 2021 report, the United Nations World Tourism Organization, or UNWTO, noted that international travel, as measured by international arrivals, is slowly picking up, though the recovery remains fragile and uneven . Rising concerns over the Delta variant of the virus have led several countries to re - impose restrictive measures . In addition, the volatility and lack of clear information on entry requirements could continue to affect the resumption of international travel during the Northern Hemisphere’s summer season . However, vaccination programs worldwide, together with softer restrictions for vaccinated travelers and the use of digital tools such as the EU Digital COVID Certificate, contribute to the gradual normalization of travel . The recovery of international travel is forecasted by leading international travel organizations, such as the International Air Transport Association and the UNWTO, to begin in 2021 and to recover to 2019 demand levels between mid - 2023 to end of 2024 . If international travel does not resume as quickly or as much as expected, the Company’s revenues will continue to be severely affected, and Valneva may not be able to complete the development of its vaccine candidates without additional financing . Valneva continues to closely monitor how the pandemic and related response measures are affecting the Company’s business . Valneva reported cash and cash equivalents of € 329 . 8 million as of June 30 , 2021 . Valneva is prepared to take further cost management measures if required and has implemented a cost reduction of non - mission critical projects and expenses . Although it is difficult to predict future liquidity requirements, the Group believes that the existing cash and cash equivalents as of June 30 , 2021 will be sufficient to fund its operations for at least the next 12 months from the authorization of publication of these consolidated financial statements . For details on liquidity risk see Note 23 . Impact from COVID - 19 is described in following notes as of June 30 , 2021 : AUGUST 10, 2021 26 Impact from COVID - 19 Note COVID - 19 R&D program 1 Agreement with the UK Government to provide up to 190 million doses of the Group’s SARS - CoV - 2 vaccine candidate - €60.1 million expenses (of which €46.1 million were for research and development) included in first six months of 2021, €94.9 million included in inventories (of which €82.8 million were for raw material), €46.9 million prepayments included in other current assets, €349.7 million included in contract and refund liabilities, as of June 30, 2021.

The collaboration falls within the framework of the $ 23 . 4 million funding agreement Valneva signed with the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (“CEPI”) in July 2019 (see Note 6 ) . Under the collaboration, Valneva will transfer its chikungunya vaccine technology to Butantan, who will develop, manufacture and commercialize the vaccine in LMICs .

Segment reporting The Company’s Management Board, as its chief decision maker, considers the business from a product rather than geographic perspective and has identified four reportable segments. As of January 1, 2021, the following changes were implemented into the Group’s segment reporting structure. - Given the expected materiality of the Group’s COVID - 19 business, a separate segment was introduced covering all activities related to the development, manufacturing, and distribution of the SARS - CoV - 2 vaccine candidates . - With the transfer of the license of Valneva’s VLA 15 Lyme vaccine candidate to Pfizer in December 2020 , all related revenues and costs were moved from the “Vaccine candidates” segment to the “Technologies and services” segment . The individual segments consist of the following : - “Commercialized products” (marketed vaccines, currently the Group’s vaccines IXIARO and DUKORAL as well as third - party products ) - “COVID” (development, manufacturing, and distribution related to Valneva’s SARS - CoV - 2 vaccine candidates) - “Vaccine candidates” (proprietary research and development programs aiming to generate new approvable products in order to generate future cash flows from product sales or from commercialization through partnering with pharmaceutical companies, excluding COVID vaccine candidates, which is presented separately ) - “Technologies and services” (services and inventions at the commercialization stage, i . e . revenue generating through collaborations, service, and licensing agreements ) As of January 1 , 2021 , the Group changed its internal reporting process and amended the following allocation rule : general and administrative (G&A) costs were allocated to the four operational segments based on three key criteria (each equally weighted) : 1 ) Revenues, 2 ) R&D spend and 3 ) FTE’s . The allocation of local G&A spend is based on the above criteria measured on local level, whereas the allocation Name Count r y of inco r po r ation Consolidation method June 3 0 , 2021 Dec e m b er 3 1 , 2020 BliNK Biomedical SAS FR Equity method 48.9% 48.9% Vaccines Holdings Sweden AB SE Consolidation 100% 100% Valneva Austria GmbH AT Consolidation 100% 100% Valneva Canada Inc.

The agreement includes R&D and service performance obligations for which revenue is recognized over time as well as a license performance obligation for which revenue was recognized in the year 2020 , when Pfizer benefited and

 
 

VALNEVA SE H1 2 0 21 started to use the license without further involvement of Valneva . The transaction has been allocated to various performance obligations in proportion to their standalone selling price . In the first half of 2021 , € 5 . 6 million were recognized as Revenues from collaboration, licensing and services . € 3 . 0 million of costs to obtain a contract are included in other assets (see Note 15 ) and € 0 . 9 million are included in contract liabilities (see Note 19 ) as of June 30 , 2021 . In June 2020 , Valneva and Bavarian Nordic A/S (OMX : BAVA) announced a marketing and distribution partnership for the marketing and distribution of their commercial products . Valneva is acting as principal according to IFRS and will commercialize Bavarian Nordic’s marketed vaccines leveraging its commercial infrastructure in Canada, the UK, France and Austria . Valneva will also take responsibility for Belgium and the Netherlands . The partnership includes vaccines that protect against rabies, Japanese encephalitis, tick - borne encephalitis and cholera . Revenues are recognized at a point in time when products are delivered to the customer . In the first half of 2021 , Valneva recognized € 4 . 7 million of revenue with Bavarian Nordic’s vaccines . This partnership also caused an increase in purchased goods (third party products) (see Note 13 ) . In September 2020 , the US Defense Logistics Agency (“DLA”) awarded Valneva a new contract for the supply of IXIARO . The terms of the agreement contemplate an initial base year followed by two option years, each with a range of minimum and maximum potential dose orders . The current base year has a minimum value of approximately $ 54 million for 370 , 000 doses, and the option years have minimum values of $ 46 million for 320 , 000 doses and $ 36 million for 250 , 000 doses, respectively, if DLA exercises those options . In September 2020 , Valneva announced a vaccine partnership with the UK Government for Valneva’s inactivated COVID - 19 vaccine, VLA 2001 . Under the agreement, if the vaccine development is successful, Valneva will provide the UK Government with 60 million doses of VLA 2001 beginning in the second half of 2021 . The UK Government then has options over 40 million additional doses in 2022 and a further 90 million doses, in aggregate, from 2023 to 2025 . If VLA 2001 is approved and the options are exercised in full, the contract has the potential to generate aggregate revenue of up to € 1 . 4 billion . The UK Government is also investing up - front in the manufacturing scale up and development of the vaccine, with the investment being recouped against the vaccine supply under the collaboration . The COVID - 19 vaccine candidate will be manufactured at Valneva’s facilities in Livingston, Scotland and fill - finishing activities will take place at Valneva’s facilities in Solna, Sweden .

In June 2021 , none of these performance obligations were satisfied, therefore no revenue was recognized in this period . In December 2020 , the option period to order 40 million doses was extended from December 31 , 2020 , to January 31 , 2021 . In January 2021 , the UK Government has exercised its option to order 40 million doses .

While there are no material intangible assets held for DUKORAL the carrying value of Property, plant and equipment and Right of use assets as well as working capital (net book value of € 15 . 4 million as of June 30 , 2021 ) was tested . The Company’s long range business model, including assumptions on market size/market share, product sales and resulting profitability over a 5 . 5 year period as well as a Terminal Value for the period beyond 5 . 5 years, has been used as a basis to calculate the value in use . For DUKORAL, sales recovery to pre - COVID levels is expected to progress more slowly over the next 2 years . This is additionally driven by the expected entry of a competitor product in some European markets within the coming years . The uncertainty of whether sales can return to pre - COVID levels has been taken into account in the impairment test . The calculation uses post - tax risk - adjusted cash flow projections and a discount rate of 6 . 93 % . The discount rate of 6 . 93 % is based on 0 . 31 % risk - free rate, 6 . 87 % market risk premium, minus 0 . 37 % country risk premium, 0 . 61 % currency risk, a levered beta of 1 . 02 and a peer group related equity - capital ratio . The impairment test for DUKORAL has resulted in no impairment losses . 2. Sensitivity to changes in assumptions The net present value calculations are most sensitive to the following assumptions : AUGUST 10, 2021 36

 
 

VALNEVA SE H1 2 0 21 ▪ discount rate ▪ reduction of expected revenues/royalties . At the date of the impairment test for DUKORAL, the net present value calculation for DUKORAL uses a discount rate of 6 . 93 % . An increase in the discount rate of 418 basis points from 6 . 93 % to 11 . 11 % would trigger an impairment loss . The net present value calculations are based upon assumptions regarding market size, market share, and expected sales volumes resulting in sales value expectations . An additional reduction in revenues of 10 . 0 % over the planning period of 5 . 5 years would result in no impairment loss in 2021 . 12 . Financial Instruments For the majority of the borrowings and other loans, the fair values are not materially different from their carrying amounts since the interest payable on those borrowings is either close to current market rates or the borrowings are of a short - term nature . As of June 30 , 2021 , material differences are identified only for guaranteed other loans . Based on an estimated arms’ length interest rate of 9 . 73 % , the fair value is € 3 . 6 million (carrying amount is € 4 . 0 million) . The fair values of all other financial instruments equal their book values as of June 30 , 2021 . AUGUST 10, 2021 37 13 .

The net realizable value of the COVID - 19 related inventories is expected to exceed the net book value as a result of the contractual terms of the COVID - 19 agreement with UK government (see Note 4 . 2 ) . In addition payments to cover those costs have been received already and are non - refundable . The increase in Purchased goods (third party products) is mainly caused by the partnership with Bavarian Nordic (see Note 4 . 2 ) . Given the expected reductions in product sales related to Valneva’s commercial stage vaccines IXIARO and DUKORAL due to the current COVID - 19 pandemic, the Company has performed a review of both commercial and raw material inventories and has included write - downs in the COGS as of June 30 , 2020 , December 31 , 2020 , and June 30 , 2021 . Commercial inventories not carrying a minimum residual shelf - life at the expected time of sale on the basis of the most current sales expectations have been written down . The write - down of € 9 . 2 million relates € 5 . 5 million to finished goods, € 3 . 0 million to work in progress (of which nil to faulty products), € 0 . 7 million to raw materials and nil to purchased goods .

B orr o w i n g s In February 2020 , Valneva Austria GmbH signed a debt financing agreement with US Healthcare Funds Deerfield and OrbiMed for an amount of up to $ 85 . 0 million . Amortization payments will start in 3 years, while the loan will mature in 6 years . The intended use of proceeds was to repay existing borrowings from the European Investment Bank and allow the Group to continue to advance its primary Lyme and chikungunya development programs in the short term . As of June 30 , 2021 , $ 60 . 0 million (€ 54 . 1 million) had been drawn down in two tranches . The interest rate is 9 . 95 % on a quarterly basis (equivalent to 10 . 09 % on an annual basis) . The loan is secured by substantially all of Valneva’s assets, including its intellectual property, and is guaranteed by Valneva SE and certain of its subsidiaries . Furthermore, the loan agreement contains covenants, including a minimum liquidity in the amount of € 35 . 0 million and minimum consolidated net revenue in the amount of € 115 . 0 million on a consecutive twelve month basis . To avoid a breach of covenants due to the decline in revenues caused by the COVID - 19 pandemic, the initial agreement was amended in July 2020 to postpone the application of the minimum revenue covenant until December 31 , 2020 (inclusive) in exchange for a minimum liquidity covenant of € 75 . 0 million (instead of € 35 . 0 million) during that period . On January 15 , 2021 , a new amendment was executed to (i) bring the minimum liquidity covenant to the amount of € 50 . 0 million from 2021 onward and to € 35 . 0 million from 2023 onward and (ii) 13 Regulated non - distributable reserve relating to the merger with Intercell AG AUGUST 10, 2021 41

 
 

VALNEVA SE H1 2 0 21 modify the minimum revenue covenant to include a quarterly minimum consolidated net revenue covenant (excluding grants) representing an annual total of € 64 . 0 million in 2021 , € 103 . 8 million in 2022 and € 115 . 0 million thereafter . If the Group’s consolidated liquidity or net revenues were to fall below the covenant minimum values, Valneva would not be able to comply with the financial covenants in the financing agreement with Deerfield and OrbiMed, which could result in additional costs (up to an additional 10 % of interest over the duration of the default) and an early repayment obligation (payment of the principal increased by 8 % and of an indemnity representing the interests expected until March 2023 ) . The Group does not expect these limitations to affect its ability to meet its cash obligations . As of June 30 , 2021 , the liability relating to this financing agreement was € 48 . 2 million, of which € 5 . 1 million is reported as current (December 31 , 2020 : € 46 . 2 million, of which € 4 . 9 million is reported as current) . As of June 30 , 2021 , other loans included in borrowings related to financing of Research and Development expenses and CIR (R&D tax credit in France) of € 4 . 0 million (December 31 , 2020 : € 5 . 9 million) which are guaranteed by governmental parties and the CEPI loan in the amount of € 2 . 3 million (December 31 , 2020 : € 1 . 3 million), which relates to advanced payments received which are expected to be paid back in the future .

VALNEVA SE H1 2 0 21 Valneva shares used in the merger . The Company has been discussing potential settlement agreements . The Company therefore holds a provision of € 2 . 1 million of settlement costs and additional costs in connection with such potential settlements (December 31 , 2020 : € 1 . 9 million) . € 0 . 3 million of additional expenses related to this litigation is included in “other expenses” in the period ended June 30 , 2021 . In July 2016 , a claim for additional payment was raised and litigation was filed in December 2016 , in connection with the 2009 acquisition of Humalys SAS, from which the Company had acquired a technology, which was later combined with other antibody discovery technologies and spun off to BliNK Biomedical SAS in early 2015 . Former shareholders of Humalys claimed additional consideration as a result of the spin - off transaction . A first instance decision in the Humalys case is now expected in the first half of 2022 . After consultation with its external advisors the Company believes that this claim is unsubstantiated and the filed litigation is not likely to succeed in court . Detailed information on the potential specific financial consequences, which might result from a successful claim could adversely affect the Company’s ability to defend its interests in this case and therefore is not provided, in accordance with IAS 37 . 92 . 26.
