Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this report. In addition to historical information, this discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including but not limited to those identified under Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in this report.

Overview

Savara Inc. (together with its subsidiaries “Savara,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on rare respiratory diseases. Our lead program, molgramostim nebulizer solution (“molgramostim”), is an inhaled granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor in Phase 3 development for autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (“aPAP”). Previously, our pipeline included molgramostim for nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) lung infection in both non-cystic fibrosis (“CF”) and CF patients, vancomycin hydrochloride inhalation powder (“vancomycin”) for persistent methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (“MRSA”) lung infection in people living with CF and inhaled liposomal ciprofloxacin (“Apulmiq”) for non-CF bronchiectasis. Savara, together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, which includes Aravas Inc., Savara ApS, Drugrecure A/S, and Savara Australia Pty. Limited, operate in one segment with its principal office in Austin, Texas.

Since inception, we have devoted substantially all of our efforts and resources to identifying and developing our product candidates, recruiting personnel, and raising capital. We have incurred operating losses and negative cash flow from operations and have no product revenue from inception to date. From inception to December 31, 2021, we have raised net cash proceeds of approximately $392.9 million, primarily from public offerings of our common stock, private placements of convertible preferred stock, and debt financings.

We have never been profitable and have incurred operating losses in each year since inception. Our net losses were $43.0 million and $49.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, we had an accumulated deficit of $300.5 million. Substantially all of our operating losses resulted from expenses incurred in connection with our research and development programs and from general and administrative costs associated with our operations.

We have chosen to operate by outsourcing our manufacturing and most of our clinical operations. We expect to incur significant additional expenses and continue to incur operating losses for at least the next several years as we initiate and continue the clinical development of, and seek regulatory approval for, our product candidate. We expect that our operating losses will fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year due to timing of clinical development programs and efforts to achieve regulatory approval.

As of December 31, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $34.0 million and short-term investments of $127.2 million. We will continue to require substantial additional capital to continue our clinical development and potential commercialization activities. Accordingly, we will need to raise substantial additional capital to continue to fund our operations. The amount and timing of our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including the pace and results of our clinical development efforts. Failure to raise capital as and when needed, on favorable terms or at all, would have a negative impact on our financial condition and our ability to develop our product candidate.

Recent Events

COVID-19

The continuing COVID-19 global pandemic poses risks to our business. As we commence enrollment of our additional Phase 3 trial for the use of molgramostim for the treatment of aPAP, there remains a general uncertainty regarding the impact of COVID-19 on the aPAP patient population and physicians. Patients suffering from aPAP lung disease are prone to underlying lung conditions and are often treated by infectious disease specialists and pulmonologists. These treating physicians are on the front lines in addressing this global pandemic and must now, understandably, focus their attention on COVID-19. Further, if an aPAP patient enrolled in the study were to contract COVID-19, they may need to discontinue their participation.

Additionally, we are unable to quantify the impact this situation will have on our future financial performance, but the public health actions being undertaken to reduce the spread of the virus have created, and may continue to create, challenges and disruptions to our operations. Management, on an on-going basis, is evaluating our liquidity position, communicating with and monitoring the actions of our service providers, manufacturers, and suppliers and reviewing our near-term financial performance as we manage Savara through the uncertainty related to COVID-19.

As of the date of this report:

•

management monitors local conditions and establishes appropriate policies to help ensure the health and safety of our employees;

•

our third-party service providers, manufacturers, and suppliers may experience similar circumstances which could negatively impact our supply chain and progress of our development pipeline; and

•

COVID-19 and related safety concerns have and could delay recruitment of our clinical trials.

The COVID-19 pandemic remains extremely fluid and we are continuing to re-assess the impact on our operations by monitoring the spread of COVID-19, emerging COVID-19 variants, and the actions implemented to combat the virus in various regions throughout the world. Where appropriate, we are making necessary operational and strategic decisions where possible, in an attempt to mitigate the negative impact of the virus on our operations.

Income Taxes

The CARES Act

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many governments are taking measures to provide aid and economic stimulus. These measures include deferring the due dates of tax payments or other changes to their income and non-income-based tax laws. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act”), which was enacted on March 27, 2020 in the U.S., includes many measures to assist companies, including temporary changes to income and non-income-based tax laws.

Additionally, the CARES Act provides for non-income tax provisions, such as allowing payments of the employer share of Social Security payroll taxes that would otherwise be due from the date of enactment through December 31, 2020 to be paid over the following two years. Other provisions will allow eligible employers subject to closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic to receive a 50% credit on qualified wages against their employment taxes each quarter with any excess credits eligible for refunds.

On August 8, 2020, former President Trump issued a COVID-19 relief executive order (“EO”) intending to help alleviate the hardships experienced by American workers as a result of the pandemic. The EO focuses on four key areas of relief including the deferral of payroll tax obligations for certain workers.

The Consolidated Appropriations Act extended and expanded the availability of the CARES Employee Retention credit through June 30, 2021. Subsequently, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (“ARP”), enacted on March 11, 2021, extended and expanded the availability of the CARES Employee Retention credit through December 31, 2021; however, certain provisions apply only after December 31, 2020.

We have assessed the provisions of the CARES Act, EO, and ARP and do not believe the measures mentioned above materially impact us or are relevant to our tax reporting. However, we are continuing to assess these and other provisions of the CARES Act and ARP and any potential additional federal stimulus packages with regards to their impact on our tax reporting as well as any provisions which may benefit us or our employees.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate these estimates and judgments. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates and assumptions form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recording of expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates. We believe that the accounting policies discussed below are critical to understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies relate to the more significant areas involving management’s judgments and estimates. Refer to Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the notes to our consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report for additional discussion.

Accrued Research and Development Expenses

We record the costs associated with research, nonclinical and clinical trials, and manufacturing development as incurred. These costs are a significant component of our research and development expenses, with a substantial portion of our on-going research and development activities conducted by third party service providers, including contract research and manufacturing organizations.

We accrue for expenses resulting from obligations under agreements with CROs, CMOs, and other outside service providers for which payment flows do not match the periods over which materials or services are provided to us. Accruals are recorded based on estimates of services received and efforts expended pursuant to agreements established with CROs, CMOs, and other outside service providers. These estimates are typically based on contracted amounts applied to the proportion of work performed and determined through analysis with internal personnel and external service providers as to the progress or stage of completion of the services. We make significant judgments and estimates in determining the accrual balance in each reporting period. In the event advance payments are made to a CRO, CMO, or outside service provider, the payments will be recorded as a prepaid asset which will be amortized or expensed as the contracted services are performed. As actual costs become known, we adjust our prepaids and accruals. Inputs, such as the services performed, the number of patients enrolled, or the trial duration, may vary from our estimates, resulting in adjustments to research and development expense in future periods. Changes in these estimates that result in material changes to our accruals could materially affect our results of operations. To date, we have not experienced any material deviations between accrued and actual research and development expenses.

Business Combinations

We account for business combinations in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations, and as further defined by Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805), which requires the purchase price to be measured at fair value. When the purchase consideration consists entirely of shares of our common stock, we calculate the purchase price by determining the fair value, as of the acquisition date, of shares issued in connection with the closing of the acquisition and, if the transaction involves contingent consideration based on achievement of milestones or earn-out events, the probability-weighted fair value, as of the acquisition date, of shares issuable upon the occurrence of future events or conditions pursuant to the terms of the agreement governing the business combination. If the transaction involves such contingent consideration, our calculation of the purchase price involves probability inputs that are highly judgmental due to the inherent unpredictability of drug development, particularly by development-stage companies such as ours. We recognize estimated fair values of the tangible assets and intangible assets acquired, including IPR&D, and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date, and we record as goodwill any amount of the purchase price of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in excess of the fair value.

Goodwill and Acquired In-Process Research and Development

In accordance with ASC Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, our IPR&D and goodwill, when applicable, is determined to have indefinite lives and, therefore, is not amortized. Instead, it is tested for impairment annually and between annual tests if we become aware of an event or a change in circumstances that would indicate the carrying value may be impaired. For instance, based upon the ultimate scope and scale of the COVID-19 global pandemic, there may be materially negative impacts to the assumptions made with respect to our IPR&D assets that could result in an impairment of such assets.

With respect to the impairment testing of acquired IPR&D, ASU 2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment, and ASU 2012-02, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment, provide us a two-step impairment process with the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads us to determine that it is more-likely-than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50%) that our acquired IPR&D is impaired. If we choose to first assess qualitative factors and we determine that it is more-likely-than not acquired IPR&D is not impaired, we are not required to take further action to test for impairment.

ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, outlines an impairment model providing us the option to implement a one-step method for determining impairment of goodwill, thereby simplifying the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 (quantitative calculation of measuring a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill) from the goodwill impairment test. Under the amendments in this guidance, an entity should perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax-deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable.

When we perform a quantitative assessment of acquired IPR&D, we compare its carrying value to its estimated fair value to determine whether an impairment exists. In previous years, due to a lack of Level 1 or Level 2 inputs, the Multi-Period Excess Earnings Method (“MPEEM”), which is a form of the income approach, was used to estimate the fair value of acquired IPR&D when performing a quantitative assessment. Under the MPEEM, the fair value of an intangible asset is

equal to the present value of the asset’s projected incremental after-tax cash flows (excess earnings) remaining after deducting the market rates of return on the estimated value of contributory assets (contributory charge) over its remaining useful life. We evaluate potential impairment of our acquired IPR&D annually on September 30, utilizing a qualitative approach and determining if it was more-likely-than not that the fair value was impaired. We evaluate potential impairment of our acquired goodwill, if any, annually on June 30, performing the quantitative analysis based upon market capitalization.

Our determinations as to whether, and if so, the extent to which goodwill and acquired IPR&D become impaired are highly judgmental and, in the case of applying the MPEEM approach to estimate fair value, are based on significant assumptions regarding our projected future financial condition and operating results, changes in the manner of our use of the acquired assets, development of our acquired assets or our overall business strategy, and regulatory, market, and economic environment and trends.

If the associated research and development effort is abandoned, the related asset will be written-off, and we will record a non-cash impairment loss on our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. For those products that reach commercialization, the IPR&D asset will be amortized over its estimated useful life.

Product Revenue

We record revenue based on a five-step model in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. To date, we have not generated any product revenue from our product candidates.

Milestone Revenue

With respect to the license agreement related to molgramostim, which includes certain milestone payments to be remunerated to us by the licensee, we identify the performance obligations, determine the transaction price, allocate the contract transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognize the revenue when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied. We identify the performance obligations included within the license agreement and evaluate which performance obligations are distinct.

The milestone payments are a form of variable consideration as the payments are contingent upon achievement of a substantive event. The milestone payments are estimated and included in the transaction price when we determine, under the variable consideration constraint, that it is probable that there will not be a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized in future periods. The transaction price is then allocated to each performance obligation on a relative stand-alone selling price basis, for which we recognize revenue as or when the performance obligations under the contract are satisfied. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, we re-evaluate the probability of achievement of such milestones and any related constraint, and if necessary, adjust the estimate of the overall transaction price.

Share-based Compensation Expenses

We recognize the cost of stock-based awards granted to employees based on the estimated grant-date fair value of the awards. The value of the award is recognized as expense ratably over the requisite service period. We recognize the compensation costs for awards that vest over several years on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Forfeitures are recognized when they occur, which may result in the reversal of compensation costs in subsequent periods as the forfeitures arise. In addition, we account for any modifications to stock-based awards in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation.

We estimate the grant-date fair value of a stock option award using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model (“Black-Scholes model”). In determining the grant-date fair value of a stock option award under the Black-Scholes model, we must make a number of assumptions, including the term of the award, the volatility of the price of our common stock over the term of the award, and the risk-free interest rate. Changes in these or other assumptions could have a material impact on the compensation expense we recognize.

Income Taxes

We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities will be recognized in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is established against the deferred tax assets to reduce their carrying value to an amount that is more-likely-than not to be realized.

Financial Operations Overview

Research and Development Expenses

We recognize research and development expenses as they are incurred. These expenses consist primarily of the following:

•

expenses incurred under agreements with CROs, consultants, and clinical trial sites that conduct research and development activities on our behalf;

•

laboratory and vendor expenses related to the execution of our clinical trials;

•

contract manufacturing expenses, primarily for the production of clinical supplies; and

•

internal costs that are associated with activities performed by our research and development organization, which primarily consists of:

•

personnel costs, which include salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation expense;

•

facilities and other expenses, which include expenses for maintenance of facilities and depreciation expense; and

•

regulatory expenses and technology license fees related to development activities.

The largest component of our operating expenses has historically been our investment in research and development activities. The following table shows our research and development expenses by product candidate for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020:

Year ended December 31,

(in thousands)

Product candidates:

Total research and development expenses $ 28,991 $ 35,038

We expect research and development expenses will remain significant in the future as we advance our molgramostim product candidate into and through clinical trials and pursue regulatory approvals, which will require a significant increased investment in regulatory support and contract manufacturing and inventory build-up related costs.

The process of conducting clinical trials necessary to obtain regulatory approval is costly and time consuming. We may never succeed in timely developing and achieving regulatory approval for our product candidates. The probability of success of our product candidates may be affected by numerous factors, including clinical data, competition, intellectual property rights, manufacturing capability and commercial viability. As a result, we are unable to accurately determine the duration and completion costs of our development projects or when and to what extent we will generate revenue from the commercialization and sale of molgramostim.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits, and related costs for personnel in executive, finance and accounting, legal, and investor relations; as well as professional and consulting fees for accounting, legal, investor relations, business development, human resources, and information technology services. Other G&A expenses include facility lease and insurance costs.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income (expense) includes amortization expense related to capitalized debt issuance costs and debt discount under our amended loan agreement with Silicon Valley Bank. Interest expense is typically reported net of interest income which includes interest earned on our cash, cash equivalent, and short-term investment balances. Other income (expense) also includes net unrealized and realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions, foreign exchange derivatives not designated as hedging, refundable tax credits generated by some of our foreign subsidiaries, and securities subject to fair value accounting as well as any other non-operating gains and losses.

Year ended December 31, Dollar

(in thousands)

Milestone revenue $ — $ 257 $ (257 )

Operating expenses:

Milestone Revenue

We recognized $0.3 million in revenue during the year ended December 31, 2020 related to the prior achievement and receipt of a milestone payment in October 2018 pursuant to a license agreement. The license agreement was terminated during the third quarter of 2020 causing all performance obligations to have been satisfied, which resulted in the recognition of revenue. There was no such revenue recorded during the year ended December 31, 2021.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses decreased $6.0 million, or 17.3%, to $29.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 from $35.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease is largely attributable to $5.4 million of acquisition costs for the acquisition of an inhaled liposomal ciprofloxacin product candidate (the “Licensed Product”) in March 2020 and a $6.9 million decrease in CMC and clinical operations activities associated with the wind down of our vancomycin study. This is partially offset by a $6.4 million increase in costs associated with molgramostim for the treatment of aPAP related to the startup and progression of the IMPALA-2 trial.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses decreased $1.9 million, or 13.4%, to $12.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 from $14.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease is primarily due to the recognition of a one-time non-recurring charge of $0.8 million for non-cash stock-based compensation and approximately $1.5 million of paid and accrued severance payments to former members of executive management during the year ended December 31, 2020.

Other Expense, Net

Other expense, net, increased $1.2 million to $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 from $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The change is primarily related to a reduction in investment income of approximately $0.8 million, which is included in the Interest expense, net line item on the consolidated statement of operations in this Annual Report. This reduction is primarily due to lower interest rates. Additionally, Foreign currency exchange (loss) gain decreased to a loss by $0.3 million due to a change in foreign currency exchange rates.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

As of December 31, 2021, we had $34.0 million in cash, $127.2 million in short-term investments, and an accumulated deficit of $300.5 million. Since inception through December 31, 2021, our operations have been financed primarily by net cash proceeds of approximately $392.9 million, primarily from public offerings of common stock, private placements, and debt financings.

We have used and intend to use the net proceeds from these offerings for working capital and general corporate purposes, which include, but are not limited to, the funding of clinical development of and pursuing regulatory approval for our product candidate and general and administrative expenses. Given the uncertainty created by the COVID-19 global pandemic, we will continue to monitor our liquidity and capital requirements.

Debt Facility

As discussed in Note 7. Debt Facility in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report, we entered into a loan and security agreement with Silicon Valley Bank during the year ended December 31, 2017, which was amended a fourth time in March 2021, under which we have drawn a total of $25 million.

Common Stock Sales Agreement

Wainwright Sales Agreement

On July 2, 2021, the Company delivered written notice to Wainwright that it was terminating the Wainwright Sales Agreement effective July 12, 2021.

Evercore Sales Agreement

On July 6, 2021, the Company entered into a Common Stock Sales Agreement with Evercore Group L.L.C., (“Evercore”), as sales agent (the “Sales Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, through Evercore, shares of Savara’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”), having an aggregate offering price of not more than $60 million. The Agreement was effective on July 16, 2021 (“New Registration Statement”), the date the Company’s shelf registration agreement on Form S-3, as filed with the SEC on July 6, 2021, was declared effective by the SEC. The Shares will be offered and sold pursuant to the New Registration Statement. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, Evercore will use commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Shares from time to time, based upon the Company’s instructions. The Company has provided Evercore with customary indemnification rights, and Evercore will be entitled to a commission at a fixed commission rate equal to 3% of the gross proceeds per Share sold. Sales of the Shares, if any, under the Sales Agreement may be made in transactions that are deemed to be “at the market offerings” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company has no obligation to sell any of the Shares and may at any time suspend sales under the Sales Agreement or terminate the Sales Agreement.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, we did not sell any shares of common stock under either the Wainwright Sales Agreement or the Evercore Sales Agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we sold 942,825 shares of common stock under the Wainwright Sales Agreement for net proceeds of approximately $2.3 million.

Recent Public Offering

On March 11, 2021, we completed a public issuance of our common stock and pre-funded warrants for gross proceeds of approximately $130 million and net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses, of approximately $122.2 million as discussed in Note 10. Stockholders’ Equity in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report. Since 2017, we have completed four public offerings with combined net proceeds, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses, of approximately $257.6 million.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods indicated:

Year ended December 31,

(in thousands)

Cash used in operating activities $ (40,081 ) $ (39,836 )

Cash (used in) provided by investing activities (69,456 ) 9,053

Cash provided by financing activities 120,806 3,689

Effect of exchange rate changes (137 ) 170

Cash flows from operating activities

Cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $40.1 million, consisting of a net loss of $43.0 million, a $1.8 million decrease in Accounts payable and Accrued expenses and other current liabilities mostly relating to the wind down or completion of our non-aPAP trials during 2020, and a $1.0 million increase in Prepaid and

other current assets associated with prepaid research and development costs for our IMPALA-2 trial. This was partially offset by approximately $5.8 million of non-cash charges (comprised primarily of depreciation and amortization including right-of-use assets, amortization on premium to short-term investments, amortization of debt issuance costs and stock-based compensation).

Cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $39.8 million, consisting of a net loss of $49.6 million, which was partially offset by (1) non-cash, share-based compensation expense of $5.1 million and (2) other non-cash charges related to amortization and depreciation of $0.7 million. In addition, the net loss was impacted by the write-off of acquired in-process research and development of $5.4 million related to the asset acquisition in the first quarter of 2020 of Apulmiq. The cash paid for the acquisition is reflected in cash flows from investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Cash flows from investing activities

Cash used in or provided by investing activities for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was primarily the result of net sale and maturities of short-term investments. In addition, we paid $3.2 million in the first quarter of 2020 related to the acquisition of Apulmiq.

Cash flows from financing activities

Cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $120.8 million, which was primarily related to $122.2 million in net proceeds from the public issuance of common stock and pre-funded warrants and $2.5 million in net proceeds from the exercise of warrants. This was partially offset by the payment of $3.9 million to repurchase outstanding warrants, as discussed in Note 10. Stockholders’ Equity in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report.

Cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $3.7 million, which was primarily related to net proceeds of $2.3 million related to the sales of our common stock through “at the market offerings” under the Sales Agreement and $1.8 million of net proceeds related to the exercise of certain milestone warrants issued in a private placement offering of our common stock in December 2019. These proceeds were partially offset by the payment of $0.5 million related to the end of period charge following the Third Amendment of our debt facility with Silicon Valley Bank in January 2020.

Future Funding Requirements

We have not generated any revenue from product sales. We do not know when, or if, we will generate any revenue from product sales. We do not expect to generate any revenue from product sales unless and until we obtain regulatory approval for and commercialize our product candidate. At the same time, we expect our expenses to increase in connection with our ongoing development and manufacturing activities, particularly as we continue the research, development, manufacture, and clinical trials of, and seeking regulatory approval for, our product candidate. In addition, subject to obtaining regulatory approval of our product candidate, we anticipate we may need additional funding in connection with our continuing operations.

As of December 31, 2021, we had cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of $161.2 million. Although we have sufficient capital to fund our planned activities, including those discussed in Note 11. Commitments - Manufacturing and Other of the consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report, we may need to raise additional capital to further fund the development of, and seek regulatory approvals for, our product candidate and to begin commercialization of any approved product. The amount and timing of our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including the pace and results of our clinical development efforts. Failure to raise capital as and when needed, on favorable terms or at all, would have a negative impact on our financial condition and our ability to develop our product candidate.

Although we are well capitalized, until we can generate a sufficient amount of product revenue to finance our cash requirements, we may finance our future cash needs primarily through the issuance of additional equity securities and potentially through borrowings, grants, and strategic alliances with partner companies. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce, or terminate our product development or commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market product candidate to third parties that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves.

Manufacturing and Other Commitments and Contingencies

We are subject to various manufacturing royalties and payments and other commitments related to molgramostim.

For a summary of the contingent milestone payments and commitments, refer to Note 11. Commitments - Manufacturing and Other, of the consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report.

Other Contracts

We enter into contracts in the normal course of business with various third parties for research studies, clinical trials, testing, and other services. These contracts generally provide for termination upon notice, and therefore we believe that our non-cancelable obligations under these agreements are not material.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Recent Accounting Pronouncements, of the consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report milestone for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements and their effect, if any, on us.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We have market risk exposure related to our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investment securities. Such interest-earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk; however, we have not been exposed to nor do we anticipate being exposed to material risks due to changes in interest rates. A hypothetical 1% change in interest rates during any of the periods presented would not have had a material impact on our audited consolidated financial statements. Additionally, our investment securities are fixed income instruments denominated and payable in U.S. dollars and have short-term maturities, typically less than twelve months, and typically carry credit ratings of “A” at a minimum by two of three nationally recognized statistical rating organizations, specifically Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s or Fitch. As such, we do not believe that our cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investment securities have significant risk of default or illiquidity.

We have ongoing operations in Denmark and pay those vendors in local currency (Danish Krone) or Euros. We seek to limit the impact of foreign currency fluctuations through the use of derivative instruments, and short-term foreign currency forward exchange contracts not designated as hedging instruments. We did not recognize any significant exchange rate losses during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. A 10% change in the Krone-to-dollar or Euro-to-dollar exchange rate on December 31, 2021 would not have had a material effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

We also have interest rate exposure as a result of our Loan Agreement, as amended, with Silicon Valley Bank. As of December 31, 2021, the outstanding gross principal amount of the secured term loan was $25.0 million. The loan bears interest at the prime rate reported in The Wall Street Journal, plus a spread of 3.00%. Changes in the prime rate may therefore affect our interest expense associated with our secured term loan. If a 10% change in interest rates from the interest rates on December 31, 2021 were to have occurred, this change would not have had a material effect on the value of our investment portfolio or on our interest expense obligations with respect to outstanding borrowed amounts.

Inflation generally affects us by increasing our cost of labor and clinical trial costs. We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our results of operations during the periods presented.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management has evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2021, pursuant to and as required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief

Financial Officer have concluded that, as of December 31, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined by Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act, were effective and designed to ensure that (i) information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and (ii) information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). As a result of that assessment, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2021 based on criteria in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.

As a smaller reporting company, we were not required to obtain an audit on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during Savara’s quarter ended December 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Savara Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Savara Inc and its subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements (collectively, the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assses the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Accrued Research and Development Costs

As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company records expenses of research and development activities, including nonclinical studies, and third-party contract services for clinical trials and manufacturing development. Clinical trials and contract manufacturing activities performed by third parties are expensed based upon estimates of work completed with respective contract research organizations (“CROs”) or contract manufacturing organizations (“CMOs”) and other third-party vendors. Though expenses are based on signed agreements, the complexity involved in determining expenses arises from agreements containing multiple milestones that require management’s careful analysis with external parties to determine period expenses and potential contractual milestone expenses based on the progress made against benchmarks including but not limited to patients enrolled, services performed and equipment purchased.

During 2021, the Company incurred $29.0 million of research and development expenses. The Company recorded an accrued liability of $1.6 million for expenses incurred, but not yet invoiced, and a prepaid expense of $1.9 million for

F-2

payments made to vendors in excess of costs incurred.

Given the significant judgments and estimates in accounting for accrued research and development costs, we have determined this area a critical audit matter.

Our audit procedures related to the Company’s accrued research and development costs included the following among others:

•

We obtained an understanding, and evaluated the design and implementation, of controls relating to accrued or prepaid research and development costs, including controls over thereview of contracts, and the accumulation of information from external service providers on actual costs incurred.

•

We evaluated, on a sample basis, the reasonableness of management’s methods and assumptions used in developing the accrued or prepaid research and development costs by:

–

Agreeing key milestones and completion terms, activities, timing and costs per management-provided schedules to signed and executed CMO and CRO contracts

–

Obtaining evidence from third parties of the research and development activities performed for significant clinical trials and contract manufacturing services

–

Inquiring of financial and clinical personnel on the status of the clinical trials, progress to completion of clinical trials, method of allocating contractual charges to specific tasks performed during the clinical trials and the status of change orders

–

Retrospective review of quarterly analysis to assess the historical accuracy of management’s analysis

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

Savara Inc. (together with its subsidiaries “Savara,” the “Company,” “we” or “us”) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on rare respiratory diseases. The Company’s lead program, molgramostim nebulizer solution (“molgramostim”), is an inhaled granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor in Phase 3 development for autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (“aPAP”). Previously, the Company’s pipeline included molgramostim for nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) lung infection in both non-cystic fibrosis (“CF”) and CF patients, vancomycin hydrochloride inhalation powder (“vancomycin”) for persistent methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (“MRSA”) lung infection in people living with CF and inhaled liposomal ciprofloxacin (“Apulmiq”) for non-CF bronchiectasis. The Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries operate in one segment with its principal office in Austin, Texas.

Since inception, Savara has devoted substantially all of its efforts and resources to identifying and developing its product candidates, recruiting personnel, and raising capital. Savara has incurred operating losses and negative cash flow from operations and has no product revenue from inception to date. The Company has not yet commenced commercial operations.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”). Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of the Company are stated in U.S. dollars. These financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The financial statements of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries are recorded in their functional currency and translated into the reporting currency. The cumulative effect of changes in exchange rates between the foreign entity’s functional currency and the reporting currency is reported in Accumulated other comprehensive income. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

Liquidity

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $300.5 million. The Company used cash from operations of approximately $40.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The cost to further develop and obtain regulatory approval for any drug is substantial and, as noted below, the Company may have to take certain steps to maintain a positive cash position. Although the Company has sufficient capital to fund many of its planned activities, it may need to continue to raise additional capital to further fund the development of, and seek regulatory approvals for, its product candidate and begin to commercialize any approved product.

The Company is currently focused on the development of molgramostim for the treatment of aPAP and believes such activities will result in the continued incurrence of significant research and development and other expenses related to this program. If the clinical trial for the Company’s product candidate fails or produces unsuccessful results and the product candidate does not gain regulatory approval or, if approved, fails to achieve market acceptance, the Company may never become profitable. Even if the Company achieves profitability in the future, it may not be able to sustain profitability in subsequent periods. The Company intends to cover its future operating expenses through cash and cash equivalents on hand, short-term investments, and through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, government or other third-party funding, and other collaborations and strategic alliances with partner companies. The Company cannot be sure that additional financing will be available when needed or that, if available, financing will be obtained on terms favorable to the Company or its stockholders.

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $34.0 million and short-term investments of $127.2 million as of December 31, 2021, which is sufficient to fund the Company's operations for the twelve months subsequent to the issuance date of its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company may continue to raise additional capital as needed through the issuance of additional equity securities and potentially through borrowings and strategic alliances with partner companies. However, if such additional financing is not available timely

F-8

and at adequate levels, the Company may need to reevaluate its long-term operating plans. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Management’s estimates include those related to the accrual of research and development and general and administrative costs, certain financial instruments recorded at fair value, stock-based compensation, and the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other market-specific and relevant assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Accordingly, actual results could be materially different from those estimates.

Risks and Uncertainties

The product candidate being developed by the Company require approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) or foreign regulatory agencies prior to commercial sales. There can be no assurance that the Company’s product candidate will receive the necessary approvals. If the Company is denied regulatory approval of its product candidate, or if approval is delayed, it will have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial position.

The Company is subject to a number of risks similar to other life science companies, including, but not limited to, risks related to the successful discovery and development of drug candidates, raising additional capital, development of competing drugs and therapies, protection of proprietary technology, and market acceptance of the Company’s products. As a result of these and other factors and the related uncertainties, there can be no assurance of the Company’s future success.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and institutional bank money market accounts with original maturities of three months or less when acquired and are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.

Short-term Investments

The Company has classified its investments in debt securities with readily determinable fair value as available-for-sale securities. These securities are carried at estimated fair value with the aggregate unrealized gains and losses related to these investments reflected as a part of Accumulated other comprehensive income within stockholders’ equity.

The fair value of the investments is based on the specific quoted market price of the securities or comparable securities at the balance sheet dates. Investments in debt securities are considered to be impaired when a decline in fair value is judged to be other than temporary because the Company either intends to sell or it is more-likely-than not that it will have to sell the impaired security before recovery. Once a decline in fair value is determined to be other than temporary, an impairment charge is recorded and a new cost basis in the investment is established. Refer to Note 5. Short-term Investmentsfor additional discussion.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments held in money market accounts. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents and money market accounts with a limited number of financial institutions and at times may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits.

Accrued Research and Development Costs

The Company records the costs associated with research, nonclinical and clinical trials, and manufacturing development as incurred. These costs are a significant component of the Company’s research and development expenses, with a substantial portion of the Company’s on-going research and development activities conducted by third party service providers, including contract research and manufacturing organizations.

The Company accrues for expenses resulting from obligations under agreements with contract research organizations (“CROs”), contract manufacturing organizations (“CMOs”), and other outside service providers for which payment flows do not match the periods over which materials or services are provided to the Company. Accruals are recorded based on estimates of services received and efforts expended pursuant to agreements established with CROs, CMOs, and other outside service providers. These estimates are typically based on contracted amounts applied to the proportion of work performed and determined through analysis with internal personnel and external service providers as to the progress or stage of completion of the services. The Company makes significant judgments and estimates in determining the accrual

F-9

balance in each reporting period. In the event advance payments are made to a CRO, CMO, or outside service provider, the payments will be recorded as a prepaid asset which will be amortized or expensed as the contracted services are performed. As actual costs become known, the Company adjusts its prepaids and accruals. Inputs, such as the services performed, the number of patients enrolled, or the trial duration, may vary from the Company’s estimates, resulting in adjustments to research and development expense in future periods. Changes in these estimates that result in material changes to the Company’s accruals could materially affect the Company’s results of operations. To date, the Company has not experienced any material deviations between accrued and actual research and development expenses. Refer to Note 4. Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilitiesfor additional discussion.

Business Combinations

The Company accounts for business combinations in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations, and as further defined by Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805), which requires the purchase price to be measured at fair value. When the purchase consideration consists entirely of shares of our common stock, the Company calculates the purchase price by determining the fair value, as of the acquisition date, of shares issued in connection with the closing of the acquisition and, if the transaction involves contingent consideration based on achievement of milestones or earn-out events, the probability-weighted fair value, as of the acquisition date, of shares issuable upon the occurrence of future events or conditions pursuant to the terms of the agreement governing the business combination. If the transaction involves such contingent consideration, our calculation of the purchase price involves probability inputs that are highly judgmental due to the inherent unpredictability of drug development, particularly by development-stage companies. The Company recognizes estimated fair values of the tangible assets and intangible assets acquired, including in process research and development (“IPR&D”), and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date, and we record as goodwill any amount of the purchase price of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in excess of the fair value.

License and Collaboration Agreements

The Company entered into a license and collaboration agreement and may continue to enter into license and collaboration agreements with third parties whereby the Company purchases the rights to develop, market, sell and/or distribute the underlying pharmaceutical products or drug candidates. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company is generally required to make up-front payments, milestone payments contingent upon the achievement of certain pre-determined criteria, royalty payments based on specified sales levels of the underlying products and/or certain other payments. Up-front payments are either expensed immediately as research and development or capitalized. The determination to capitalize amounts related to licenses is based on management’s judgments with respect to stage of development, the nature of the rights acquired, alternative future uses, developmental and regulatory issues and challenges, the net realizable value of such amounts based on projected sales of the underlying products, the commercial status of the underlying products, and/or various other competitive factors. Milestone payments made prior to regulatory approval are generally expensed as incurred and milestone payments made subsequent to regulatory approval are generally capitalized as an intangible asset. Royalty payments are expensed as incurred. Other payments made pursuant to license and collaboration agreements, which are generally related to research and development activities, are expensed as incurred. Refer to Note 8. License Agreementfor additional discussion.

Goodwill and Acquired In-Process Research and Development

In accordance with ASC Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, the Company's acquired IPR&D and goodwill, when applicable, is determined to have indefinite lives and, therefore, is not amortized. Instead, it is tested for impairment annually and between annual tests if the Company becomes aware of an event or a change in circumstances that would indicate the carrying value may be impaired. For instance, based upon the ultimate scope and scale of the COVID-19 global pandemic, there may be materially negative impacts to the assumptions made with respect to our IPR&D assets that could result in an impairment of such assets.

With respect to the impairment testing of acquired IPR&D, ASU 2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment, and ASU 2012-02, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment, provides for a two-step impairment process with the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to the determination that it is more-likely-than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50%) that acquired IPR&D is impaired. If the Company chooses to first assess qualitative factors and it determines that it is more-likely-than not acquired IPR&D is not impaired, the Company is not required to take further action to test for impairment.

goodwill) from the goodwill impairment test. Under the amendments in this guidance, an entity should perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax-deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable.

When the Company performs a quantitative assessment of acquired IPR&D, it compares its carrying value to its estimated fair value to determine whether an impairment exists. Due to a lack of Level 1 or Level 2 inputs, the Multi-Period Excess Earnings Method (“MPEEM”), which is a form of the income approach, was used to estimate the fair value of acquired IPR&D when performing a quantitative assessment. Under the MPEEM, the fair value of an intangible asset is equal to the present value of the asset’s projected incremental after-tax cash flows (excess earnings) remaining after deducting the market rates of return on the estimated value of contributory assets (contributory charge) over its remaining useful life. The Company evaluates potential impairment of its acquired IPR&D annually on September 30, utilizing a qualitative approach and determining if it was more-likely-than not that the fair value was impaired. We evaluate potential impairment of our acquired goodwill, if any, annually on or around June 30, performing the quantitative analysis based upon market capitalization.

If the associated research and development effort is abandoned, the related asset will be written-off, and the Company will record a non-cash impairment loss on its consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. For those products that reach commercialization, the IPR&D asset will be amortized over its estimated useful life. Refer to Note 9. Fair Value Measurements—Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis for additional discussion.

Leases

The Company accounts for a contract as a lease when it has the right to control the asset for a period of time while obtaining substantially all of the asset's economic benefits. Lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are initially recorded on the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The present value of lease payments is determined by using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate is readily determinable; otherwise, the Company uses its estimated secured incremental borrowing rate for that lease term. Leases may include renewal, purchase or termination options that can extend or shorten the term of the lease. The exercise of those options is at the Company's sole discretion and is evaluated at inception and throughout the contract to determine if a modification of the lease term is required.

In addition to rent, the leases may require the Company to pay additional amounts for taxes, insurance, maintenance, and other expenses, which are generally referred to as non-lease components. The Company has elected to not separate lease and non-lease components. Only the fixed costs for lease components and their associated non-lease components are accounted for as a single lease component and recognized as part of a right-of-use asset and liability. Rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the reasonably assured lease term based on the total lease payments and is included in operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

The Company has made an accounting policy election providing that leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded as a lease right-of-use asset liability; those lease payments are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Refer to Note 11. Commitments—Operating Leases for additional discussion.

Segment Reporting

Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in making decisions on how to allocate resources and assess performance. Our chief operating decision maker is the chief executive officer. We have one operating segment, specialty pharmaceuticals within the respiratory system.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is determined on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to five years. Repairs and maintenance that do

F-11

not improve or extend the useful life of the respective asset are charged to expense as incurred. Refer to Note 6. Property and Equipment, netfor additional discussion.

Patents and Intellectual Property

As the Company’s products are currently under research and development and are not currently approved for market, costs incurred in connection with patent applications are expensed as incurred due to the uncertainty of the future economic benefits of the underlying patents and intellectual property.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The accounting standard for fair value measurements provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, based on the Company’s principal or, in absence of a principal, most advantageous market for the specific asset or liability.

The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy to classify and disclose all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, in periods subsequent to their initial measurement. The hierarchy requires the Company to use observable inputs when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs, when determining fair value.

The three tiers are defined as follows:

•

Level 1 – Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;

•

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly in the marketplace for identical or similar assets and liabilities; and

•

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market data, which require the Company to develop its own assumptions.

Financial instruments carried at fair value include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and foreign exchange derivatives not designated as hedging instruments.

Financial instruments not carried at fair value include accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate fair value due to the highly liquid nature of these short-term instruments. Refer to Note 9. Fair Value Measurements for additional discussion.

Revenue Recognition

The Company records revenue based on a five-step model in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. To date, the Company has not generated any product revenue. The Company’s ability to generate product revenues, which the Company does not expect will occur in the next several years, if ever, will depend heavily on the successful development, regulatory approval, and eventual commercialization of the Company’s product candidates.

Milestone Revenue

The Company entered into a license agreement related to its molgramostim product candidate, which includes certain milestone payments to be remunerated by the licensee to Savara. In exchange, the Company granted the licensee an exclusive right to import, market, sell, distribute and promote molgramostim in Japan for the treatment of aPAP. Pursuant to the license agreement, the Company identifies the performance obligations, determines the transaction price, allocates the contract transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognizes the revenue when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company identifies the performance obligations included within the license agreement and evaluates which performance obligations are distinct.

The milestone payments are a form of variable consideration as the payments are contingent upon achievement of a substantive event. The milestone payments are estimated and included in the transaction price when the Company determines, under the variable consideration constraint, that it is probable that there will not be a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized in future periods. The transaction price is then allocated to each performance obligation on a relative stand-alone selling price basis, for which the Company recognizes revenue as or when the performance obligations under the contract are satisfied. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, the Company re-evaluates the probability of achievement of such milestones and any related constraint, and if necessary, adjusts the estimate of the overall transaction price.

F-12

In October 2018, the Company achieved a milestone payment pursuant to this license agreement resulting in the receipt of $0.2 million from the licensee which was recorded as deferred revenue in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. On February 21, 2020, the Company received notification from the licensee of its intent to terminate this license agreement. Accordingly, this license agreement terminated on August 21, 2020, upon which the Company recognized revenue related to this $0.3 million milestone payment, which increased from $0.2 million due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, as the Company has determined that all of the performance obligations under this license agreement have been met.

Net Loss per Share

Basic net loss attributable to common stockholders per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and pre-funded warrants outstanding during the period without consideration of common stock equivalents. Since the Company was in a loss position for all periods presented, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share for all periods presented as the inclusion of all potential dilutive securities would have been antidilutive. Refer to Note 15. Net Loss per Share for additional discussion.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes the cost of stock-based awards granted to employees based on the estimated grant-date fair value of the awards. The value of the portion of the award is recognized as expense ratably over the requisite service period. The Company recognizes the compensation costs for awards that vest over several years on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Forfeitures are recognized when they occur, which may result in the reversal of compensation costs in subsequent periods as the forfeitures arise. In addition, the Company accounts for any modifications to stock-based awards in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Refer to Note 13. Stock-Based Compensation for additional discussion.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities will be recognized in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is established against the deferred tax assets to reduce their carrying value to an amount that is more-likely-than not to be realized. Refer to Note 14. Income Taxesfor additional discussion.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes which applies to all entities and aims to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods therein. ASU No. 2019-12 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) which reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock to simplify the accounting for convertible instruments and reduce the complexity. ASU 2020-06 also made targeted improvements to the disclosures for convertible instruments and earnings per share guidance. ASU 2020-06 was early adopted on January 1, 2021 and did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

7. Debt Facility

On April 28, 2017, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement with Silicon Valley Bank, as amended by the First Amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement on October 31, 2017, the Second Amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement on December 4, 2018, and the Third Amendment on January 31, 2020 (the “Loan Agreement”), pursuant to which Silicon Valley Bank provided a term loan to the Company in the principal amount of $25 million. The Company executed a fourth amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”) to the Loan Agreement on March 30, 2021.

The Fourth Amendment provided that if by June 30, 2021, the Company did not yet have an ongoing Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating its molgramostim product for the treatment of aPAP in which the first patient has been identified and dosed (the “Trial Requirement”), the interest-only period under the Loan Agreement would expire and principal plus interest would be due in equal monthly installments over 24 months. The first payment due on July 1, 2021 would include three principal payments. If the Trial Requirement is met, the first payment of principal plus interest would be due on July 1, 2022. Prior to the effective time of the Fourth Amendment, the interest-only period would expire if the Trial Requirement had not been met by March 31, 2021. Additionally, the Fourth Amendment increased the final payment percentage from 6.0% to 6.2%.

On June 30, 2021, the Company announced, in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC, that the Trial Requirement had been met. As a result, the interest only-period will continue until June 30, 2022, as set forth in the Fourth Amendment.

Silicon Valley Bank has been granted a perfected first priority lien in all of the Company's assets with a negative pledge on intellectual property. The Loan Agreement, as amended, contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including among others, covenants limiting the Company's ability and its subsidiaries’ ability to dispose of assets, permit a change in control, merge or consolidate, make acquisitions, incur indebtedness, grant liens, make investments, make certain restricted payments, and enter into transactions with affiliates, in each case subject to certain exceptions. Additionally, the Loan Agreement, as amended, contains an affirmative covenant requiring us to deliver evidence by June 30, 2021 of the receipt of gross cash proceeds of at least $25 million from the exercise of currently outstanding warrants or the issuance of other equity securities, which was satisfied upon completion of the Public Offering, as defined and discussed in Note 10.Stockholders’ Equity.

The loan bears interest at the greater of (i) the prime rate reported in The Wall Street Journal, plus a spread of 3.0% or (ii) 7.75%. The Loan Agreement, as amended, also requires a prepayment fee (2.0% of funded amounts in months 13-24, and 1.0% thereafter), and an end of term charge equal to 6.2% of the amount of principal borrowed.

The Company paid minimal legal costs directly attributable to the original issuance of the debt instrument underlying the Loan Agreement and subsequent amendments. Such charges were accounted for as debt issuance costs and are being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method through the scheduled maturity date.

Summary of Carrying Value

The following table summarizes the components of the long-term debt carrying value, which approximates the fair value (in thousands):

Future minimum payments due during the year ended December 31,

8. License Agreement

Effective March 31, 2020, the Company entered into a license and collaboration agreement (the “License”) that provided Savara an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing license to develop and sell or otherwise commercialize pharmaceutical preparations containing a type of inhaled liposomal ciprofloxacin (“Licensed Product”), as described in more detail in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 2, 2020.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company paid the licensor (i) an upfront cash payment of approximately $3.3 million and (ii) an upfront payment of one million shares of the Company’s common stock valued at approximately

F-16

$2.1 million on the date of issuance upon effectiveness of the License, which was immediately recognized as research and development expense since the Licensed Product had not yet achieved regulatory approval and there is deemed to be no alternative future use.

9. Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures and reports certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis and evaluates its financial instruments subject to fair value measurements on a recurring and nonrecurring basis to determine the appropriate level in which to classify them in each reporting period.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The Company determined that certain investments in debt securities classified as available-for-sale securities were Level 1 financial instruments.

Additional investments in corporate debt securities, commercial paper, and asset-backed securities are considered Level 2 financial instruments because the Company has access to quoted prices but does not have visibility to the volume and frequency of trading for all of these investments. For the Company’s investments, a market approach is used for recurring fair value measurements and the valuation techniques use inputs that are observable, or can be corroborated by observable data, in an active marketplace.

The fair value of these instruments as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 was as follows (in thousands):

Cash equivalents:

U.S. Treasury money market funds $ 30,853 $ — $ — $ 30,853

Short-term investments:

Cash equivalents:

U.S. Treasury money market funds $ 21,872 $ — $ — $ 21,872

Short-term investments:

The Company did not transfer any assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis to or from Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis, but are subject to fair value adjustments annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable. These assets and liabilities can include acquired IPR&D and other long-lived assets that are written down to fair value if they are impaired.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had IPR&D of approximately $11.3 million. At December 31, 2021, the Company performed an impairment analysis and concluded that the impact of COVID-19 or other factors did not trigger any impairment indicators. As of December 31, 2020, the Company considered whether a triggering event had occurred due to the Company’s market cap being below carrying value. The Company completed a qualitative and quantitative impairment testing of its IPR&D and concluded that there was no impairment.

For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company experienced a decrease of approximately $0.9 million and an increase of approximately $1.1 million, respectively, in the carrying value of IPR&D, which was due to foreign currency translation.

10. Stockholders’ Equity

Private Placement

On December 24, 2019, the Company completed a private placement in a public entity (the “Private Placement” or “PIPE”) under a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional and accredited investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which we issued and sold to the Investors 9,569,430 shares of our common stock at a price of $1.745 per share and pre-funded warrants (“Pre-Funded PIPE Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 5,780,537 shares of common stock at $1.744 per share (or $1.745 minus par value of $.001). The net proceeds after deducting placement fees and offering expenses were approximately $25.2 million. We also issued accompanying warrants (the “Milestone Warrants”), with an exercise price of $1.48 per share, to purchase an aggregate of up to 32,577,209 additional shares of common stock and may receive up to approximately $48.2 million from the exercise of the Milestone Warrants prior to their expiration, totaling potential aggregate gross proceeds of up to approximately $75.0 million from the PIPE before deducting placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses. The Milestone Warrants are exercisable at any time prior to the earlier of thirty days following the achievement of a defined clinical milestone or two years after the closing date of the Private Placement. The Pre-Funded PIPE Warrants are exercisable at any time after their original issuance and will not expire.

We intend to use the net proceeds from the Private Placement to fund a new clinical trial of molgramostim for the treatment of aPAP and for other general corporate purposes.

The net proceeds from the Private Placement were allocated among the instruments based upon their relative fair values at December 24, 2019 resulting in carry values of the respective instruments as follows (in thousands):

Financial instruments Relative Fair Value

Common stock and Pre-Funded PIPE Warrants $ 11,713

Total Net Proceeds from Private Placement $ 25,247

Milestone Warrants

Immediately prior to the March 15, 2021 Public Offering, discussed below, the Company entered into separate, privately-negotiated warrant repurchase agreements with certain holders of its outstanding Milestone Warrants. The Company paid $3.9 million ($0.15 per share of Common Stock underlying each milestone warrant) to repurchase milestone warrants with 26,061,769 shares of Common Stock underlying such warrants, and the warrants were terminated. The warrant repurchase was accounted for as an equity transaction and resulted in a reduction to Additional paid-in capital in the consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity.

On August 13, 2021, thirty days following the achievement of a defined clinical milestone, the remaining 3,474,902 milestone warrants expired and therefore such milestone warrants were terminated and no longer outstanding or exercisable.

Public Offering of Common Stock

On March 15, 2021, the Company sold (i) an aggregate of 57,479,978 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) for $1.45 per share, of which 11,694,150 shares were issued pursuant to the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares, and (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase an aggregate of 32,175,172 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.001 per share (the “2021 Pre-Funded Warrants”) for $1.449 per warrant (collectively, the “Public Offering”).

The Company determined that the securities issued in the Public Offering were free-standing and that the 2021 Pre-Funded Warrants did not contain any settlement obligations that would result in liability classification under ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and ASC 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity. The shares encompassed in the 2021 Pre-Funded Warrants were sold at the same price as the underlying common stock, less $0.001 (which represents the exercise price of the warrants).

The Public Offering resulted in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $122.2 million, after deducting final underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses, as follows (in thousands):

Wainwright Common Stock Sales Agreement

On April 28, 2017, the Company entered into a Common Stock Sales Agreement with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“Wainwright”), as sales agent, which was amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Common Stock Agreement (the “Amendment”) on June 29, 2018 (the “Wainwright Sales Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, through Wainwright, shares of Savara’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”), having an aggregate offering price of not more than $60.0 million, in addition to the $2.3 million in shares sold prior to the Amendment. The Amendment was effective on July 13, 2018, the date the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 29, 2018, was declared effective (“2018 Registration Statement”) by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Shares were offered and sold pursuant to the 2018 Registration Statement. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Wainwright Sales Agreement, Wainwright used its commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Shares from time to time, based upon the Company’s instructions. The Company has provided Wainwright with customary indemnification rights, and Wainwright was entitled to a commission at a fixed commission rate equal to 3.0% of the gross proceeds per Share sold. Sales of the Shares, if any, under the Wainwright Sales Agreement may be made in transactions that are deemed to be “at the market offerings” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company has no obligation to sell any of the Shares and may at any time suspend sales under the Wainwright Sales Agreement or terminate the Wainwright Sales Agreement.

On July 2, 2021, the Company delivered written notice to Wainwright that it was terminating the Wainwright Sales Agreement effective July 12, 2021.

Evercore Common Stock Sales Agreement

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company did not sell any shares of common stock under either the Wainwright Sales Agreement or the Evercore Sales Agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company sold 942,825 shares of common stock under the Wainwright Sales Agreement for net proceeds of approximately $2.3 million.

Common Stock

The Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended in June 2021, authorizes the Company to issue 301 million shares of capital stock, consisting of 300 million shares of common stock with $0.001 par value per share and one million shares of preferred stock with $0.001 par value per share.

Operating Leases

The Company has entered into operating leases for real estate in multiple locations. The Company’s leases have lease terms that include options to extend (in some cases, for up to 36 months). The exercise of lease renewal and termination options are at the Company’s sole discretion. For purposes of calculating operating lease liabilities, the Company’s leases are deemed not to include an option to extend the lease term until it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. The Company has operating lease agreements with lease and non-lease components that are accounted for as a single lease component.

The Company previously subleased office space pursuant to a sublease that expired at the end of July 2021. On June 3, 2021, the Company entered into a lease agreement (the “TX Lease”) with the same landlord for a different office suite located in the same building and relocated its headquarters to this location. The TX Lease commencement date was August 1, 2021 and will continue through December 31, 2022. On commencement of the TX Lease, the Company recorded an operating lease liability and corresponding right-of-use asset of approximately $0.1 million.

F-20

On July 7, 2021, the Company entered into a lease agreement (the “PA Lease”) for an office space in Langhorne, Pennsylvania. The PA Lease commencement date was October 1, 2021 and will continue through September 30, 2024. On commencement of the PA Lease, the Company recorded an operating lease liability and corresponding right-of-use asset of approximately $0.2 million.

The Company also terminated a lease agreement during the fourth quarter of 2021. As a result of the termination, the Company paid a fee of approximately $20,000 that would have otherwise been payable as part of the property's annual base rent. This termination resulted in a reduction of right-of-use operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities of approximately $0.1 million.

The following is a maturity analysis of the annual undiscounted cash flows reconciled to the carrying value of the operating lease liabilities as of December 31, 2021 (in thousands):
