Second Quarter Financial Results (Unaudited)

Savara’s net loss attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended June 30, 2021, was $10.9 million, or $(0.07) per share, compared with a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $9.4 million, or $(0.16) per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Research and development expenses increased by $1.2 million, or 19.3%, to $7.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, from $6.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was largely attributable to a $3.6 million increase in costs associated with advancement of the molgramostim in aPAP development program and was partially offset by a decrease in Chemistry Manufacturing and Controls (CMC) and clinical operations activities associated with the wind down of the vancomycin hydrochloride inhalation powder development program.

General and administrative expenses were consistent with a slight increase of approximately 1.2%, to $3.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, from $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

As of June 30, 2021, Savara had cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of approximately $181 million and debt of approximately $25 million.
