First Quarter 2025 Total Revenues of $745 million (+15% Y/Y and +17% at Constant Currency Y/Y) First Quarter 2025 GAAP Diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS) of $0.95 (+107% Y/Y) First Quarter 2025 Non-GAAP Diluted EPS of $1.13 (+59% Y/Y) Conference Call and Webcast Scheduled Today at 4:30 p.m. ET SAN RAFAEL, Calif., May 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (NASDAQ: BMRN) today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025. "During the first quarter, we saw continued high demand for our innovative medicines resulting in strong revenue growth and profitability," said Alexander Hardy, President and Chief Executive Officer of BioMarin. "Products in our pipeline also advanced according to plan. In April, we shared positive top-line results from the Phase 3 PALYNZIQ® study for the treatment of adolescents with phenylketonuria between the ages of 12 and 17. Also in April, we were pleased to conclude enrollment in the pivotal study in hypochondroplasia with VOXZOGO, keeping us on track to launch in 2027, should data be supportive." Mr. Hardy continued, "For the remainder of 2025, we look forward to continued momentum in our global expansion of VOXZOGO® for achondroplasia. Across our Enzyme Therapies, we plan to build upon strong PALYNZIQ performance in the quarter, as well as initiatives to drive uptake of our other therapies to reach an even greater number of patients around the world. In addition to our strong financial outlook, we expect to advance multiple new indications with VOXZOGO in our CANOPY clinical program, share early clinical results from both BMN 351 for Duchenne Muscular dystrophy and BMN 333, our long-acting C-type natriuretic peptide, as well as execute on our business development strategy. We are delivering strong growth and profitability while we continue to implement BioMarin's new strategy and operating model. We look forward to seeing the benefits of this transformation flow through our results in the coming quarters and beyond." First Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights Total Revenues for the first quarter of 2025 were $745 million, an increase of 15% compared to the same period in 2024, driven by strong 40% year-over-year VOXZOGO revenue growth from new patients initiating therapy across all regions. In the quarter, revenues from BioMarin's Enzyme Therapies (ALDURAZYME®, BRINEURA®, NAGLAZYME®, PALYNZIQ and VIMIZIM®) increased 8% compared to the first quarter of 2024, driven by a combination of increased patient demand and the timing of large government orders in all regions. The increase was partially offset by lower KUVAN® product revenues attributed to continued generic competition as a result of the loss of market exclusivity. GAAP Net Incom e increased by $97 million to $186 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, an increase of 109%, primarily attributed to higher gross profit driven by the factors noted above. The increase was also attributed to lower operating expenses following the termination of certain early stage development programs following the company's 2024 strategic portfolio review and focused ROCTAVIAN strategy announced in the second half of 2024. These increases were partially offset by higher tax provision primarily due to increase in taxable income. Non-GAAP Income increased by $81 million to $221 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, representing 58% growth. The increase in Non-GAAP Income was primarily due to the factors noted above. First Quarter 2025 Business Highlights Innovation Skeletal Conditions: In March 2025, BioMarin presented new data demonstrating favorable safety and strong adherence in real-world clinical practice with VOXZOGO in children with achondroplasia under the age of 3 years old at the 2025 American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) Annual Meeting. No treatment-related adverse events nor any dose interruptions were reported among 63 children followed for up to 23.7 months. These real-world findings further validate VOXZOGO's established safety profile and reinforce the therapeutic benefit seen in clinical studies. The study's safety results, including in infants as young as 1 month old, add to the growing body of evidence supporting early treatment initiation with VOXZOGO, consistent with new international treatment guidelines published in the journal Nature Reviews Endocrinology earlier this year. In April 2025, BioMarin completed enrollment in its pivotal Phase 3 study with VOXZOGO in hypochondroplasia and the company is on track to share topline data in 2026, with a potential launch in 2027. BioMarin plans to leverage its multiyear track record treating children with achondroplasia, a related condition, to raise awareness and treat children with hypochondroplasia across the globe. The CANOPY clinical program is continuing to advance VOXZOGO in additional new indications, including idiopathic short stature, Noonan syndrome, Turner syndrome, and SHOX deficiency. With BMN 333, BioMarin's long-acting C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), the company enrolled multiple cohorts of healthy volunteers in its first-in-human study, with initial pharmacokinetic (PK) data expected by year-end. Detailed data from this study is expected to be presented at a scientific forum in the first half of 2026. Pre-clinical data with BMN 333 demonstrated sustained 100 pM concentrations for free CNP, representing an approximate 2-3 fold increase versus published data in an analogous pre-clinical model for other long-acting CNP analogs. Additionally, BioMarin recently met with FDA and reached agreement on an overall clinical development plan for BMN 333 in achondroplasia. Assuming the Phase 1 data are supportive, the company plans to initiate a registration-enabling study in 2026, supporting a previously disclosed target for 2030 approval. BioMarin plans to seek similar agreements with additional global regulators in the coming months. The company announced in April that its pivotal study with PALYNZIQ for the treatment of adolescents between the ages of 12 and 17 met its primary efficacy endpoint, demonstrating a statistically significant lowering in blood Phe levels. These data will support the planned submission of applications in the second half of 2025 to expand PALYNZIQ age eligibility in the United States and Europe. Other Clinical Pipeline Programs: BMN 351, BioMarin's next generation oligonucleotide for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, and BMN 349, an oral therapeutic for Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD)-associated liver disease, continue to advance. Initial data for BMN 351 is anticipated to be presented at a scientific congress in the second half of 2025 (including muscle dystrophin levels from the 6 mg/kg cohort after 25 weeks of dosing). During a recent strategic portfolio assessment of R&D programs, BioMarin determined that the evolving profile for BMN 370, a pre-clinical candidate for the treatment of von Willebrand disease, did not meet its threshold for further development and commercialization. The program has been discontinued and impacted employees have been redeployed within BioMarin. Growth Total VOXZOGO revenue in the first quarter increased 40% compared to the same period in 2024, representing continued strong global demand since its commercial launch in 2021. As of the end of the quarter, children with achondroplasia in 49 countries around the world were being treated with VOXZOGO. In the U.S., BioMarin is investing in focused initiatives to drive continued expansion. These efforts include increasing field personnel to broaden the prescriber base and adding awareness platforms to drive adoption of VOXZOGO treatment. This is expected to begin increasing the rate of U.S. expansion in the second half of the year. Outside of the U.S. (OUS), from where the majority of VOXZOGO revenue is generated, uneven ordering patterns, consistent with BioMarin's other brands, were observed. This OUS dynamic is expected to result in VOXZOGO full-year revenues being more weighted towards the second half of 2025. Enzyme Therapies revenues grew 8% in the first quarter Y/Y, driven by strong continued demand for PALYNZIQ. Strong PALYNZIQ performance as well as solid growth from BioMarin's other enzyme treatments are expected to continue throughout 2025. Value Commitment In the first quarter of 2025, BioMarin delivered strong results across the business. Total revenues for the first quarter grew 15% Y/Y. First quarter GAAP Operating Margin of 30.0% expanded 16.4 percentage points Y/Y while GAAP Diluted EPS of $0.95 increased 107% Y/Y. First quarter Non-GAAP Operating Margin of 35.7% expanded 11.9 percentage points Y/Y while Non-GAAP Diluted EPS of $1.13 increased 59% Y/Y. These measures of profitability increased at rates faster than revenue growth, representing the company's focus on operational efficiency. During the quarter, BioMarin continued to realize the benefits of cost transformation initiatives implemented in 2024, resulting in a decrease in GAAP and Non-GAAP R&D and SG&A expenses Y/Y. Throughout the remainder of 2025, BioMarin expects to increase investments in VOXZOGO indication expansion, clinical pipeline development, and commercialization initiatives supporting the company's Skeletal Conditions and Enzyme Therapies business units. The company generated operating cash flows totaling $174 million in first quarter 2025, an increase of 271% compared to first quarter 2024. Total cash and investments at the end of the first quarter were approximately $1.8 billion, and with anticipated increasing profitability, BioMarin is positioned to generate increasing operating cash flow into the future. Today, the company reaffirmed its previously communicated 2025 full-year financial guidance, which reflects the impact of tariffs that have already been enacted but does not reflect the impact of potential future pharmaceutical tariffs. BioMarin has immaterial exposure to U.S. tariffs for China, Mexico and Canada across its global supply chain operations and product sales. Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Financial Information BioMarin does not provide guidance for GAAP reported financial measures (other than revenue) or a reconciliation of forward-looking Non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP reported financial measures because the company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the financial impact of changes resulting from its strategic portfolio and business operating model reviews; potential future asset impairments; gains and losses on investments; and other unusual gains and losses without unreasonable effort. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on GAAP reported results for the guidance period. As such, any reconciliations provided would imply a degree of precision that could be confusing or misleading to investors. 2025 Full-Year Financial Guidance (in millions, except % and EPS amounts) BioMarin will host a conference call and webcast to discuss first quarter 2025 financial results today, Thursday, May 1, 2025, at 4:30 p.m. ET.

All other brand names and service marks, trademarks and other trade names appearing in this release are the property of their respective owners. Non-GAAP Information The results presented in this press release include both GAAP information and Non-GAAP information. Non-GAAP Income is defined by the company as GAAP Net Income excluding amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense and, in certain periods, certain other specified items, as detailed below when applicable. The company also includes a Non-GAAP adjustment for the estimated tax impact of the reconciling items. Non-GAAP R&D expenses and Non-GAAP SG&A expenses are defined by the company as GAAP R&D expenses and GAAP SG&A expenses, respectively, excluding stock-based compensation expense and, in certain periods, certain other specified items, as detailed below when applicable. Non-GAAP Operating Margin percentage is defined by the company as GAAP Income from Operations, excluding amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense and, in certain periods, certain other specified items, divided by GAAP Total Revenues. Non-GAAP Diluted EPS is defined by the company as Non-GAAP Income divided by Non-GAAP Weighted-Average Diluted Shares Outstanding. Non-GAAP Weighted-Average Diluted Shares Outstanding is defined by the company as GAAP Weighted-Average Diluted Shares Outstanding, adjusted to include any common shares issuable under the company's equity plans and convertible debt in periods when they are dilutive under Non-GAAP. The company's presentation of percentage changes in total revenues at Constant Currency rates, which is computed using current period local currency sales at the prior period's foreign exchange rates, is also a Non-GAAP financial measure. This measure provides information about growth (or declines) in the company's total revenue as if foreign currency exchange rates had not changed between the prior period and the current period. BioMarin regularly uses both GAAP and Non-GAAP results and expectations internally to assess its financial operating performance and evaluate key business decisions related to its principal business activities: the discovery, development, manufacture, marketing and sale of innovative biologic therapies. Because Non-GAAP Income, Non-GAAP R&D expenses, Non-GAAP SG&A expenses, Non-GAAP Operating Margin percentage, Non-GAAP Diluted EPS, Non-GAAP Weighted-Average Diluted Shares Outstanding and Constant Currency are important internal measurements for BioMarin, the company believes that providing this information in conjunction with BioMarin's GAAP information enhances investors' and analysts' ability to meaningfully compare the company's results from period to period and to its forward-looking guidance, and to identify operating trends in the company's principal business. BioMarin also uses Non-GAAP Income internally to understand, manage and evaluate its business and to make operating decisions, and compensation of executives is based in part on this measure. Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to comparable GAAP measures and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors should note that the Non-GAAP information is not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and does not reflect all of the amounts associated with the company's results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. Investors should also note that these Non-GAAP financial measures have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and, therefore, have limits in their usefulness to investors. In addition, from time to time in the future there may be other items that the company may exclude for purposes of its Non-GAAP financial measures; likewise, the company may in the future cease to exclude items that it has historically excluded for purposes of its Non-GAAP financial measures. Because of the non-standardized definitions, the Non-GAAP financial measure as used by BioMarin in this press release and the accompanying tables may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be directly comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.
