Conference Call and Webcast Scheduled Today at
"During the quarter, execution across our business led to double digit revenue growth, on a constant currency basis, and an 18% increase in non-GAAP diluted earnings per share. At the same time, we made rapid progress on advancing our strategic priorities for the year, including accelerating and maximizing the VOXZOGO opportunity, focusing R&D on the most productive assets, and increasing profitability," said
Financial Highlights:
-
Total Revenues for the first quarter of 2024 were
$648.8 million , an increase of 9% compared to the same period in 2023. The increase in Total Revenues was primarily attributed to higher VOXZOGO sales volume driven by new patients initiating therapy across all regions. The increase was also due to higher PALYNZIQ product revenues primarily driven by sales volume growth in theU.S. The increase was partially offset by lower NAGLAZYME product revenues due to timing of orders in countries that place large government orders, particularly in theMiddle East , as well as lower KUVAN product revenues attributed to continued generic competition as a result of the loss of market exclusivity. -
GAAP Net Income increased by
$37.8 million to$88.7 million in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher gross profit driven by increased VOXZOGO sales volume and a decrease in Other income (expense), net, related to an impairment charge in the first quarter of 2023, which did not recur in the first quarter of 2024. The increases were partially offset by higher spend in research and development (R&D) programs to support both early-stage research and clinical activities, including new indications with VOXZOGO, and higher spend in Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) due to the continued support of global VOXZOGO market expansion and incremental administrative expenses in the quarter. -
Non-GAAP Income increased by
$23.9 million to$139.7 million in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. The increased Non-GAAP Income was primarily due to higher gross profit driven by increased VOXZOGO revenues, partially offset by higher R&D expenses (as noted above).
1Q Update on 2024 Strategic Priorities
In the first quarter,
Accelerate and maximize the VOXZOGO opportunity
- During the first quarter, the number of children being treated with VOXZOGO for achondroplasia accelerated. In the period, more than 500 additional children began treatment with VOXZOGO, as compared to an increase of approximately 300 new treatment starts in the fourth quarter of 2023. Over 3,100 children were benefiting from VOXZOGO treatment across 43 active markets, as of the end of the first quarter. This represents a 102% increase in the number of children being treated with VOXZOGO, year-over-year.
- In the largest single market, the
U.S. , more families with children under the age of 5 years sought treatment with VOXZOGO. This trend is expected to continue as real-world evidence, supported by VOXZOGO's extensive safety and efficacy profile, drives awareness and confidence for those families interested in treatment. With VOXZOGO now approved for children from infancy in most regions, families have the opportunity to benefit from longer treatment and potentially greater benefit. - Enrollment in the pivotal program with VOXZOGO for the treatment of children with hypochondroplasia continued. The observational run-in study is expected to complete enrollment by year-end, and the 52-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase of the 80-participant clinical trial, is expected to start mid-year and is expected to complete enrollment in the first half of 2025.
- During the quarter,
BioMarin had productive engagement with theFood and Drug Administration to align on development programs in idiopathic short stature (ISS) and multiple genetic short stature pathway conditions (PC), and expects both studies to begin enrollment in the second half of 2024.
Establish ROCTAVIAN opportunity
- During the quarter, reimbursement and market access challenges continued to impact the ability of interested patients to receive ROCTAVIAN treatment. For the remainder of 2024,
BioMarin's global commercial team will continue to focus on key elements critical to supporting ROCTAVIAN uptake in theU.S. ,Italy andGermany . In April,BioMarin treated the first patient inItaly with ROCTAVIAN following the January price approval by theItalian Medicines Agency .
Focus R&D on the most productive assets
- During the quarter,
BioMarin completed a strategic portfolio assessment of R&D programs to determine which have the most transformative potential for patients and value creation for shareholders. With the combined focus on patient impact and commercial opportunity, three programs will be accelerated. - The programs, BMN 333, long-acting CNP for multiple growth-disorders, BMN 349, a first-in-class, oral therapeutic for AATD-associated liver disease, and BMN 351,
BioMarin's next-generation oligonucleotide for DMD, all met the highest bar for advancement. - As a result of its prioritized portfolio, four programs will be discontinued, including BMN 331, BMN 255, BMN 355 and BMN 365. None of the programs were discontinued due to safety signals.
- The additional programs in
BioMarin's pipeline will move forward within the revised evaluation framework that provides a high bar for consistent and ongoing assessment to determine if they fit in the company's focused portfolio.
Accelerate EPS growth and expand margins
- Strong performance in the first quarter underscored
BioMarin's execution of its financial strategy to drive year-over-year Non-GAAP Operating Margin expansion and Non-GAAP EPS growth twice as fast as revenues. - The company reaffirmed full-year 2024 Total Revenue guidance, and raised Non-GAAP Operating Margin and Non-GAAP Diluted EPS guidance. The improved profitability guidance is a result of the planned reduction in operating expenses for the discontinued early-stage R&D programs, in the range of
$50 million and$60 million . The planned reductions in R&D expense were partially off-set by planned increases in operating expenses for the accelerated programs, resulting in planned net reductions to 2024 operating expenses of$35 million to$40 million , driving the updated guidance.BioMarin's updated full-year 2024 guidance does not reflect the impact of potential additional future business decisions that may result from its ongoing strategic business review.

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 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 diluted shares outstanding. 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.
Non-GAAP Income and its components 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
