                     detailed below. Refer to Non-GAAP
                     Information beginning on page 9 of
                     this press release for a complete
                     discussion of the Company's Non-
                     GAAP financial information and
                     reconciliations to the comparable
                     GAAP reported information.

BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (NASDAQ: BMRN) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2017. For the quarter ended September 30, 2017, GAAP Net Loss was $(12.5) million, or $(0.07) per basic and diluted share, compared to GAAP Net Loss of $(37.4) million, or $(0.22) per basic and diluted share for the quarter ended September 30, 2016. The reduction in GAAP Net Loss year over year was primarily due to the $31.5 million net upfront license payment received as a result of the License and Settlement Agreements entered into with Sarepta Therapeutics Inc. in July 2017. The decreased GAAP Net Loss was also driven by increased net product revenues for Kuvan and Vimizim, partially offset by a decrease in the Benefit From Income Taxes, and increased Selling, General and Administrative expenses for Kuvan, Brineura and Vimizim. BioMarin also announced today that full year GAAP net loss guidance is being reduced to between ($110) million and ($130) million.

Non-GAAP Income for the third quarter ended September 30, 2017 was $7.8 million, compared to Non-GAAP Income of $2.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2016. BioMarin also announced today that full year Non-GAAP Income guidance is being increased to between $60 million and $80 million.

Total Revenues were $334.1 million for the third quarter of 2017, and were $955.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of 19% and 17% respectively compared to the same periods in 2016. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, Kuvan net product revenues increased 16% year over year. Growth was driven by a 9% increase in the number of commercial patients on Kuvan therapy in the U.S and the continued growth in the ex-North American territories acquired in 2016. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, Naglazyme net product revenues increased by 8% year over year, due primarily to an increase of 7% in the number of Naglazyme commercial patients. Vimizim net product revenues increased 15% year over year during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The number of Vimizim commercial patients increased 23% year over year.

On October 18, 2017, the Company commented on its Total Revenue and Non-GAAP Income (Loss) trends for the third quarter and full-year 2017. In terms of the overall commercial business, BioMarin stated that sales of products in markets throughout most of the world are performing at or above internal expectations. However, the Company said the one exception is Brazil, where a slowdown in federal purchasing orders had extended into the third quarter of this year. As a result, third quarter revenues were negatively impacted. Since October 18, the Brazilian Ministry of Health has initiated their purchasing process which is expected to result in net product revenue from Brazil in the fourth quarter. Based on this order Total Revenues for full-year 2017 are confirmed to be within prior guidance.

As of September 30, 2017, BioMarin had cash, cash equivalents and investments totaling approximately $1.7 billion, as compared to $1.4 billion on December 31, 2016.

Commenting on the quarter, Jean-Jacques Bienaimé, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of BioMarin, said, "We achieved a number of important strategic milestones so far this year, including record Total Revenues in the third quarter and the go ahead from both U.S. and U.K. health authorities to begin Phase 3 studies with valoctocogene roxaparvovec (formerly referred to as BMN 270) gene therapy program for severe hemophilia A by year-end." Mr. Bienaimé continued, "We had many significant updates at our recent R&D Day, including the announcement of our next IND candidate BMN 290 for Freidriech's Ataxia, a rare neurologic disorder that affects nearly 15,000 people worldwide. We were also pleased to share that vosoritide for achondroplasia demonstrated a sustained increase in annualized growth rate at 30 months of treatment. For pegvaliase, we anticipate FDA action on our Biologics License Application in the first half of 2018, as well as our planned submission of the Marketing Authorization Application in Europe in the first quarter of 2018. With these programs all advancing, supported by our strong base commercial business, we have reduced our GAAP Net Loss guidance and increased our Non-GAAP Income guidance for the full-year 2017."

Key Program Updates at R&D Day October 18, 2017

    --  BMN 290 for Freidriech's Ataxia (FA): BioMarin announced that it has
        selected as its next drug development candidate, BMN 290, a selective
        chromatin modulation therapy intended for treatment of FA. FA is a rare
        autosomal recessive disorder with worldwide prevalence of approximately
        15,000, which results in disabling neurologic and cardiac progressive
        decline. Currently there are no approved disease modifying therapies for
        FA. In preclinical models, BMN 290 increases frataxin expression in
        affected tissues more than two-fold. BMN 290 is a second-generation
        compound derived from a compound the Company acquired from Repligen
        Corporation (Repligen) that had human clinical data demonstrating
        increases in frataxin in FA patients. The Company selected BMN 290 for
        its favorable penetration into the central nervous system and cardiac
        target tissues, and its preservation of the selectivity of the original
        Repligen compound. The Company expects to submit the IND application for
        BMN 290 in the second half of 2018.









    --  Valoctocogene roxaparvovec (formerly referred to as BMN 270) gene
        therapy for hemophilia A: BioMarin announced today that it had been
        granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation from the U.S. Food and Drug
        Administration (FDA) for valoctocogene roxaparvovec. The designation is
        intended to expedite the development and review of medicines to treat a
        serious disease and preliminary clinical evidence indicates that the
        drug may demonstrate substantial improvement over existing therapies.
        The Company also announced that the 6e13 vg/kg dose and 4e13 vg/kg dose
        had been cleared by both U.S. and U.K. health authorities to begin Phase
        3 studies. The protocol for each Phase 3 study, one using the 6e13 vg/kg
        dose and one using the 4e13 vg/kg dose, will likely include
        approximately 40 patients for a duration of 52 weeks per study. The
        Company expects to file for approval of valoctocogene roxaparvovec with
        52-week data from the Phase 3 studies. BioMarin expects to initiate the
        global Phase 3 program in the fourth quarter of 2017, complete
        enrollment of the last patient by the end of 2018 and provide top-line
        Phase 3 data by the end of 2019.At R&D Day, the Company provided an
        update on the ongoing open-label Phase 1/2 study of the 4e13 vg/kg dose
        at up to 36 weeks of observation at the September 14, 2017 data cut.
        Since the last data update provided during the second quarter earnings
        call on August 2, 2017, five of the six patients at the 4e13 vg/kg dose
        tracked to the low range of normal, and the sixth is in the mild range
        for Factor VIII levels. Median annualized bleed and factor VIII use
        rates for 4e13 and 6e13 vg/kg were zero after Week 4.The World Health
        Organization (WHO) has approved, and BioMarin was issued, the
        International Nonproprietary Name (INN) "valoctocogene roxaparvovec" for
        the Company's gene therapy to treat hemophilia A. INNs identify
        pharmaceutical substances or active pharmaceutical ingredients. Each INN
        is a unique name that is globally recognized and is public property. A
        nonproprietary name is also known as a generic name.BioMarin has
        commissioned its gene therapy manufacturing facility, located in Novato,
        California. Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) production of
        valoctocogene roxaparvovec has commenced and is intended to support
        clinical development activities and anticipated commercial demand, upon
        product approval. This facility is capable of supporting the
        manufacturing of product for approximately 2,000 patients per year, and
        the production process was developed in accordance with International
        Conference on Harmonisation guidance for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use
        facilitating worldwide registration with health authorities.

    --  Pegvaliase for phenylketonuria (PKU): BioMarin announced that the
        pegvaliase Biologics License Application (BLA) remains on track for FDA
        action during the first half of 2018. The Company plans to submit a
        Marketing Authorization Application to the European Medicines Agency in
        the first quarter of 2018. Pegvaliase is a PEGylated recombinant
        phenylalanine ammonia lyase enzyme product that reduces blood
        phenylalanine (Phe) levels in adult patients with PKU who have
        uncontrolled blood Phe levels on existing management.









    --  Vosoritide for achondroplasia: BioMarin provided an update on its
        open-label Phase 2 study of vosoritide, an analog of C-type Natriuretic
        Peptide (CNP), in children with achondroplasia, the most common form of
        disproportionate short stature in humans.Vosoritide for achondroplasia
        has demonstrated sustained increase in average growth velocity over 30
        months of treatment in 10 children, who completed 30 months of daily
        dosing at 15 µg/kg/day. Over this period of time, patients experienced
        mean absolute growth increase of approximately 4 cm over what their
        baseline growth velocity would have predicted.The sustained increase in
        annualized growth velocity was accompanied by sustained improvements
        over time in height compared to age- and gender-matched unaffected
        children as measure by z-scores. In addition, treatment with vosoritide
        shows continued improvement over time in proportionality as measured by
        a ratio of the upper and lower body measurements, or U/L ratio. The
        ongoing, global Phase 3 study is a randomized, placebo-controlled study
        of vosoritide in approximately 110 children with achondroplasia ages
        5-14 for 52 weeks. The study will be followed by a subsequent open-label
        extension. Children in this study will have completed a minimum
        six-month baseline study to determine their respective baseline growth
        velocity prior to entering the Phase 3 study. Vosoritide is being tested
        in children in the age range where their growth plates are still open.
        This is approximately 25 percent of people with achondroplasia. The
        Company expects to complete enrollment of the Phase 3 study in mid-2018
        and provide top-line data in the second half of 2019.Given the
        importance of early intervention in this indication, at R&D Day, the
        Company announced that it will begin an infant/toddler study in the
        first half of 2018 in children ages 0-5 years old.




    --  BMN 250 for MPS IIIB (Sanfilippo Syndrome, Type B): The Company
        discussed preliminary results from the Phase 1/2 trial with BMN 250 that
        demonstrated reduced heparan sulfate (HS) levels, a biomarker in the
        cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), in the brains of affected children. BMN 250,
        is an investigational enzyme replacement therapy using a novel fusion of
        recombinant human alpha-N-acetylglucosaminidase (NAGLU) with a peptide
        derived from insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2), for the treatment of
        Sanfilippo B syndrome or mucopolysaccharidosis IIIB (MPS IIIB).
        Discovered by BioMarin, BMN 250 is being studied in a multicenter,
        international clinical trial evaluating safety and tolerability, as well
        as cognitive function of patients with Sanfilippo B receiving BMN 250.
        Designed to restore functional NAGLU activity in the brain, BMN 250 is
        administered via intracerebroventricular (ICV) infusion.In the completed
        dose escalation portion of the study (Part 1), which was primarily
        designed to determine safety and pharmacodynamic activity of BMN 250,
        three patients received escalating doses (30mg, 100mg, 300mg) of BMN 250
        over 9 to12 months. CSF HS levels, which were markedly elevated at
        baseline, were reduced to the non-affected or normal range in all three
        patients, whether assessed as total or disease-specific HS. Sanfilippo B
        patients are missing one of four enzymes for HS degradation.In those
        same patients, abdominal MRI scans showed significantly enlarged liver
        size at baseline followed by rapid decreases in liver size into the
        normal range for age with BMN 250 treatment, suggesting that
        ICV-administered BMN 250 reaches the peripheral circulation and may have
        activity in somatic organs. In contrast, most Sanfilippo B patients
        enrolled in BioMarin's concurrently-running observational study
        (250-901) had increased liver size at baseline and experienced further
        increases in liver size over time. Two of the three treated patients
        from the dose escalation arm showed stabilization or some improvement
        compared to their pre-dose baselines in cognitive Development Quotient
        (DQ), a measure of cognitive function normalized to age. Patients with
        untreated Sanfilippo B usually show progressive decline in DQ.

Non-GAAP Information

The results presented in this press release for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 include both GAAP information and Non-GAAP information. As used in this release, Non-GAAP Income (Loss) is defined by the Company as GAAP Net Loss excluding net interest expense, provision for (benefit from) income taxes, depreciation expense, amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, contingent consideration expense and certain other specified items, as detailed below. In addition, BioMarin includes in this press release the effects of these adjustments on certain components of GAAP Net Loss for each of the periods presented. In this regard, Non-GAAP income (loss) and its components, including Non-GAAP Royalty and Other Revenues, Non-GAAP Cost of Sales, Non-GAAP Research and Development expenses, Non-GAAP Selling, General and Administrative expense, Non-GAAP Intangible Asset Amortization and Contingent Consideration and Non-GAAP Provision for (Benefit From) Income Taxes are statement of operations line items prepared on the same basis as, and therefore components of, the overall Non-GAAP measures.

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 (Loss) and its components 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.

Non-GAAP Income (Loss) and its components are not meant to be considered in isolation, 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 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 measures; likewise, the Company may in the future cease to exclude items that it has historically excluded for purposes of its Non-GAAP measures. Because of the non-standardized definitions, the Non-GAAP 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.

The following table presents the reconciliation of GAAP Net Loss to Non-GAAP Income (Loss):
