                     release for a complete discussion
                     of the Company's Non-GAAP
                     financial information and
                     reconciliations to the comparable
                     information reported under
                     Generally Accepted Accounting
                     Principles in the United States
                     (US GAAP).

BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (NASDAQ: BMRN) (BioMarin or the Company) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018. The financial results that follow represent a comparison of the second quarter of 2018 to the second quarter of 2017. Total revenues were $372.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 compared to $317.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, an increase of 17%. GAAP Net Loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 was $16.8 million, or $0.09 loss per basic and diluted share compared to GAAP Net Loss of $36.8 million, or $0.21 loss per basic and diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 2017.

Net product sales for the second quarter of 2018 were $367.8 million, compared to $315.9 million in the second quarter of 2017. The increase in net product sales was attributed to the following:

    --  Vimizim: increased by $24.4 million, or 24%, due primarily to an
        increase in the number of commercial patients;
    --  Brineura: launched in the second quarter of 2017, and contributed $10.6
        million to increased net product revenues;
    --  Kuvan: increased $7.0 million, or 7%, driven by an increase in the
        number of commercial patients;
    --  Naglazyme: increased $5.4 million, or 6%, primarily due to government
        ordering patterns in certain countries and an increase in the number of
        commercial patients; and
    --  Aldurazyme: increased $4.1 million, or 21%, primarily as a result of
        increased volume.

The decrease in GAAP Net Loss was primarily due to the following:

    --  Increased gross profit primarily driven by increased Vimizim, Brineura
        and Kuvan net product revenues; and
    --  A gain on the sale of intangible assets totaling $20.0 million received
        from Pfizer Inc. (Pfizer) associated with the achievement of two
        regulatory milestones, triggered by the U.S. Food and Drug
        Administration (FDA) acceptance of the New Drug Application submission
        for talazoparib (which BioMarin sold to Medivation Inc. prior to
        Pfizer's acquisition of Medivation Inc.) and the European Medicines
        Agency acceptance of Pfizer's submission of a Marketing Authorization
        Application for talazoparib; partially offset by
    --  Higher research and development (R&D) expense for the expansion of our
        clinical programs related to tralesinidase alfa (formally referred to as
        BMN-250), vosoritide and valoctocogene roxaparvovec and higher selling,
        general and administrative (SG&A) expense in support of the preparation
        for the commercial launch of Palynziq (formerly known as pegvaliase) and
        the continued commercial expansion of Brineura.

Non-GAAP Income for the second quarter of 2018 was $19.9 million, compared to Non-GAAP Income of $26.6 million in the second quarter of 2017. The decrease in Non-GAAP income in the second quarter of 2018 is primarily attributed to higher R&D and SG&A expenses, partially offset by increased gross profit from revenues.

As of June 30, 2018, BioMarin had cash, cash equivalents and investments totaling approximately $1.6 billion, as compared to $1.8 billion on December 31, 2017. Our 0.75% senior subordinated convertible notes due 2018 are scheduled to mature in October 2018. Holders have the right to convert their notes at maturity, and with respect to any such conversions we have elected to settle in cash up to the principal amount of the notes, shares of our common stock in respect of conversion value in excess thereof, and cash in lieu of any fractional shares.

Commenting on second quarter results, Jean-Jacques Bienaimé, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of BioMarin, said, "In the quarter, BioMarin achieved numerous value-creating events on both the commercial and regulatory fronts. On May 24 we received standard FDA approval of Palynziq, an important new therapy that helps address a significant unmet need in adults with phenylketonuria (PKU) who have been unable to control their blood Phe levels with current treatment options. We are very happy with the pace of the initial commercial launch of Palynziq and look forward to providing an update on launch metrics in the third quarter of this year."

"In clinical development, we provided two years of clinical data with the 6e13 vg/kg dose of valoctocogene roxaparvovec gene therapy for severe Hemophilia A from the ongoing Phase 1/2 study in at the World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH) 2018 World Congress in Glasgow, Scotland. The updated data demonstrated the elimination of need for prophylaxis and no spontaneous bleeds in two years. In addition, we amended the protocol for the global GENEr8-1 (Phase 3) pivotal study to evaluate superiority compared to the current standard of care. The number of participants has been increased to 130 and we now anticipate completing enrollment during the first quarter of 2019."

Mr. Bienaimé continued, "With seven commercial products expected to generate approximately $1.5 billion in revenues this year, two potentially $1.0 billion plus late-stage clinical product opportunities, whose pivotal studies are expected to be fully enrolled later this year and in Q1 2019, I believe BioMarin's commercial prospects have never been better."

Key Program Highlights

    --  Palynziq for phenylketonuria:  On May 24, 2018, the Company announced
        that it had received standard approval from the FDA for Palynziq, an
        injection to reduce blood Phe concentrations in adult patients with
        phenylketonuria, who have uncontrolled blood Phe concentrations greater
        than 600 micromoles/L on existing management. Palynziq, a PEGylated
        recombinant phenylalanine ammonia lyase enzyme, is the first approved
        enzyme substitution therapy to target the underlying cause of PKU by
        helping the body to break down Phe.  In the U.S., Palynziq is only
        available through a restricted program under a Risk Evaluation and
        Mitigation Strategy (REMS) called the Palynziq REMS Program. Palynziq is
        BioMarin's second approved treatment for this important condition and
        its seventh commercialized product.  In March 2018, the European
        Medicines Agency accepted BioMarin's submission of a Marketing
        Authorization Application for Palynziq.















    --  Valoctocogene roxaparvovec gene therapy for hemophilia A:  On May 22,
        the Company provided an update to its previously reported results of an
        open-label Phase 1/2 study of valoctocogene roxaparvovec, an
        investigational gene therapy treatment for severe hemophilia A. The
        updated results were presented during an oral presentation at the WFH
        2018 World Congress in Glasgow, Scotland by Dr. John Pasi, M.B., Ch.B.,
        Ph.D., from Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry and
        primary investigator for this Phase 1/2 study.  The data presented at
        WFH is the most current data (April 16, 2018 cut off) and includes 104
        weeks of data for the 6e13 vg/kg cohort and 52 weeks of data for the
        4e13 vg/kg cohort. In the 6e13 vg/kg cohort, the data showed continued
        and substantial reductions in bleeding requiring Factor VIII infusions
        with a 97% reduction in mean Annualized Bleed Rate (ABR), with no
        spontaneous bleeds and elimination of all bleeds in target joints in the
        second year. 71% and 86% of participants had zero bleeds requiring
        Factor VIII infusions in years 1 and 2 respectively compared to 14%, who
        had zero bleeds requiring Factor VIII infusions for a year at baseline.
        There was a 96% reduction in mean FVIII usage through week 104.  Mean
        Factor VIII activity levels from week 20 through 104 were consistently
        within the normal or near normal range and no participant was above the
        upper limit of normal at week 104, expressed as a percentage of normal
        factor activity in blood. At 104 weeks post-infusion, mean Factor VIII
        activity level of the 6e13 vg/kg cohort was within the normal range at
        59%, and the median was near normal at 46%. Quality of life as measured
        by the six-domain Haemo-QoL-A instrument rapidly improved across all
        domains by up to 17.3 points in mean over baseline through the second
        year. This is well above the 5.2 point increase considered to be the
        minimal clinically important difference.  The next data update on the
        Phase 1/2 study with the 6e13 vg/kg cohort is expected to be at the end
        of year three, in the May 2019 timeframe.The 4e13 vg/kg cohort also
        showed a substantial reduction in bleeding requiring Factor VIII
        infusions with a 92% reduction in ABR. 83% of participants had zero
        bleeds requiring Factor VIII infusions following treatment for a year
        compared to 17%, who had zero bleeds requiring Factor VIII infusions for
        a year at baseline. Mean Factor VIII usage decreased by 98%. Consistent
        with the reduction in ABR and FVIII usage, quality of life showed mean
        improvement by 3.8 to 6.3 points.The global Phase 3 program includes two
        studies with valoctocogene roxaparvovec, one with the 6e13 vg/kg dose
        (GENEr8-1) and one with the 4e13 vg/kg dose (GENEr8-2).  Enrollment
        completion in the newly amended GENEr8-1 study is now expected in the
        first quarter of 2019.  GENEr8-2, the ongoing Phase 3 study with the
        4e13 vg/kg dose, remains unchanged with an N=40 and is expected to
        complete enrollment one to two quarters after GENEr8-1 in 2019.The
        Company updated the protocol for the GENEr8-1 study evaluating the 6e13
        vg/kg dose and has powered the study to evaluate superiority to the
        current standard of care, Factor VIII prophylaxis. The study will now
        include 130 participants (an increase of 90 from the original 40).During
        the quarter, the Company began a Phase 1/2 study with the 6e13kg/vg dose
        of valoctocogene roxaparvovec in up to approximately 10 participants
        with pre-existing AAV5 antibodies. In addition to that study and the
        ongoing global Phase 3 studies, GENEr8-1 and GENEr8-2, BioMarin has two
        additional clinical studies underway in its comprehensive gene therapy
        program for the treatment of severe hemophilia A.   One to study
        seroprevalence in people with severe hemophilia A and one
        non-interventional study to determine baseline characteristics in people
        with hemophilia A, are ongoing around the world. Also, participants in
        the Phase 1/2 dose escalation study updated in the quarter at WFH will
        continue to be monitored as part of the global program underway.






    --  Vosoritide for achondroplasia: On May 11, 2018, the FDA held an advisory
        committee meeting to discuss drug development for the treatment of
        children with achondroplasia, the most common form of disproportionate
        short stature in humans.  It was a joint meeting of the Pediatric
        Advisory Committee and Endocrinologic and Metabolic Drugs Advisory
        Committee.  The committees agreed that annualized growth velocity is the
        appropriate primary endpoint to use in clinical trials for the treatment
        of achondroplasia.  The committees also expressed support for evaluating
        secondary endpoints in drug development for achondroplasia including,
        quality of life, and effects on sleep apnea, hearing loss, and ear
        infection. BioMarin's Phase 3 product candidate, vosoritide, an analog
        of C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), is being studied in children with
        achondroplasia.  Vosoritide 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 a mean cumulative height increase of
        approximately 4 cm over what their baseline growth velocity would have
        predicted.  The Company's multi-pronged program was developed to
        demonstrate the ability to improve clinical outcomes in children with
        achondroplasia.  The program includes four distinct areas of focus to
        support global approval. Currently enrolling, the 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. The baseline study is fully enrolled and the Company
        expects to complete enrollment of the Phase 3 study in September or
        October of this year.  In addition, the Company expects to have over 5
        years of clinical data from the long-term, open-label Phase 2 program to
        corroborate maintenance of effect. Given the importance of early
        intervention in this indication, on June 14, 2018, the Company began an
        infant/toddler study in 0 to 5 year-old children and dosed the first
        participant in the global Phase 2 study. Finally, the Company has
        undertaken a Natural History program to augment clinical understanding
        of outcomes of untreated patients for comparison to treated patients.

Other Ongoing Clinical Development Programs:

    --  Tralesinidase alfa (formerly referred to as BMN 250) for MPS IIIB
        (Sanfilippo Syndrome, Type B): Earlier in the year, at the
        WORLDSymposium 2018, the Company updated preliminary results from the
        Phase 1/2 trial with tralesinidase alfa, 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). These data suggest
        that tralesinidase alfa, which is administered via
        intracerebroventricular (ICV) infusion, reaches the peripheral
        circulation and has activity in somatic organs. Development Quotient
        (DQ), a measure of cognitive function normalized to age, was also
        monitored. Preliminary data suggest stabilization of cognitive DQ at the
        high dose of tralesinidase alfa in some subjects. Patients with
        untreated Sanfilippo B syndrome usually show progressive decline in DQ.


    --  BMN 290 for Friedreich's Ataxia: In late 2017, BioMarin announced that
        it had selected as its next clinical drug development candidate, BMN
        290, a selective chromatin modulation therapy intended for treatment of
        Friedreich's ataxia. Friedreich's ataxia is a rare autosomal recessive
        disorder that results in disabling neurologic and cardiac progressive
        decline associated with a deficiency in frataxin. Prior to the lead
        compound being acquired by BioMarin from Repligen Corporation
        (Repligen), it demonstrated increases in frataxin in Friedreich's ataxia
        patients. In preclinical models conducted by BioMarin, BMN 290, a
        compound derived from the original Repligen compound, increases frataxin
        message expression in brain and cardiac tissues more than two-fold. 
        Currently, there are no approved disease modifying therapies for
        Friedreich's ataxia. The Company expects to complete IND-enabling
        evaluations with a view to submitting an IND application for BMN 290
        during the second half of 2018.
    --  Gene therapy product candidate for phenylketonuria (PKU): In April 2018,
        the Company announced that it expects to submit an investigational new
        drug (IND) application for a gene therapy product for  the treatment of
        PKU in 2019 (after BMN 290 for Friedreich's ataxia).  PKU is an
        autosomal recessive disorder in which phenylalanine hydroxylase, the
        enzyme that metabolizes the amino acid phenylalanine (Phe), is
        deficient. PKU leads to high levels of neurotoxic phenylalanine, which
        affects neurocognitive development and function, if left untreated. In
        preclinical models, BioMarin's PKU gene therapy product candidate
        demonstrated sustained, normalized Phe levels in an ongoing study and
        out to 60 weeks at the last observation.  The product candidate will be
        an AAV vector containing the DNA sequence that codes for the
        phenylalanine hydroxylase enzyme that is deficient in people with PKU.

    (1)              As of January 1, 2018, the

Non-GAAP Information

The results presented in this press release for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 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, in certain periods, certain other specified items, as detailed below when applicable. 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 Cost of Sales, Non-GAAP Research and Development expenses, Non-GAAP Selling, General and Administrative expense, Non-GAAP Intangible Asset Amortization and Contingent Consideration, Non-GAAP Gain on the Sale of Intangible Asset and Non-GAAP 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. BioMarin also uses Non-GAAP Income (Loss) 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 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:
