BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (NASDAQ: BMRN) (BioMarin or the Company) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2018. The financial results that follow represent a comparison of the third quarter of 2018 to the third quarter of 2017. Total revenues were $391.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 compared to $334.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, an increase of 17%. GAAP Net Loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 was $12.6 million, or $0.07 loss per basic and diluted share compared to GAAP Net Loss of $12.5 million, or $0.07 loss per basic and diluted share for the quarter ended September 30, 2017.

Net product revenues for the third quarter of 2018 were $386.3 million, compared to $298.8 million in the third quarter of 2017. The increase in net product revenues was attributed to the following:

    --  Vimizim: increased by $33.0 million, or 37%, due primarily to government
        ordering patterns in certain countries and an increase in the number of
        commercial patients;


    --  Brineura: contributed $6.8 million to increased net product revenues,
        primarily attributed to new patients initiating therapy as the product
        launched in mid-2017;


    --  Kuvan: increased $7.5 million, or 7%, primarily driven by an increase in
        the number of commercial patients in North America;


    --  Naglazyme: increased $31.0 million, or 43%, primarily due to government
        ordering patterns in certain countries and new patients initiating
        therapy in Europe;


    --  Palynziq: received approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
        in May 2018, with commercial sales launching in the third quarter of
        2018. Palynziq sales in the third quarter of 2018 were primarily
        attributed to conversion of clinical patients in the U.S.; and
    --  Aldurazyme: increased $5.2 million, or 23%, primarily as a result of
        increased volume.

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

    --  Higher research and development (R&D) expense for the expansion of our
        clinical programs related to vosoritide and valoctocogene roxaparvovec
        and higher selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense in support
        of the U.S. commercial launch of Palynziq and European pre-launch
        activities, the continued commercial expansion of Kuvan and patient
        advocacy activities related to our valoctocogene roxaparvovec product
        candidate and continued commercial expansion of Brineura, partially
        offset by:
    --  Increased gross profit primarily driven by increased net product
        revenues across all of our commercial products other than Firdapse.

Non-GAAP Income for the third quarter of 2018 was $60.7 million, compared to Non-GAAP Income of $7.8 million in the third quarter of 2017. The increase in Non-GAAP income in the third quarter of 2018 is primarily attributed to increased gross profit from revenues, offset by higher R&D and SG&A expenses.

As of September 30, 2018, BioMarin had cash, cash equivalents and investments totaling approximately $1.6 billion, as compared to $1.8 billion on December 31, 2017. On October 15, 2018, our 0.75% senior subordinated convertible notes matured and were settled with a combination of $375.0 million in cash for the full principal amount, issuance of common stock for the conversion value in excess of the principal, and cash in lieu of any fractional shares.

Commenting on third quarter results, Jean-Jacques Bienaimé, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of BioMarin, said, "BioMarin's achievements this year give us potential for significant growth in 2019. In the second quarter we received 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 also filed for approval of Palynziq in Europe and expect to hear the status of that application in the first half of 2019. The market opportunity with Palynziq is significant and we have been very encouraged by the level of enthusiasm from the PKU community since product launch in July. At the end of the third quarter, 124 U.S. commercial patients were being treated with Palynziq and we are on track to have 250 to 300 U.S. commercial patients by year-end."

"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 during the second quarter. The updated data demonstrated the elimination of need for prophylaxis and no spontaneous bleeds for 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 second quarter of 2019. Another significant development in the year was the publication of draft guidance from the FDA for hemophilia products. We are encouraged by the considerations included in the guidance document, particularly in relation to the potential for an accelerated approval, and believe it may be pertinent to valoctocogene roxaparvovec if our program results are supportive."

Mr. Bienaimé continued, "Our annual Research and Development Day will be held in New York City on November 7, 2018 where we look forward to showcasing our capabilities from pre-clinical work through manufacturing. Specifically, we look forward to providing a 42-month update on vosoritide for the treatment of achondroplasia as well as preclinical data with our next gene therapy product candidate, BMN 307, for the treatment of phenylketonuria. With approximately $1.5 billion in revenues anticipated for the full year 2018, two potentially $1.0 billion-plus late-stage clinical product opportunities, and a growing early-stage pipeline, BioMarin is poised for significant growth."

Key Program Highlights

    --  Palynziq for phenylketonuria: With the approval in May 2018 of Palynziq
        in the United States, an injection to reduce blood Phe concentrations in
        adult patients with phenylketonuria, BioMarin added the seventh
        commercial product to its portfolio. 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. The Company expects to learn the status of
        its Marketing Authorization Application for Palynziq in Europe in the
        first half of 2019.Upon approval of Palynziq in May 2018, the Company
        said it would report two key metrics related to the U.S. commercial
        launch beginning in the third quarter of 2018. The first metric provides
        the number of clinics that have prescribed Palynziq. At the end of the
        third quarter, 50 unique clinics had prescribed Palynziq. The second
        metric, the number of naïve and clinical trial patients who are
        receiving reimbursed, commercial treatment with Palynziq totaled 124 at
        the end of the third quarter. Of the 124 patients, 81 were from the
        clinical trial study and 43 were formerly naïve to treatment. In
        addition, the Company anticipates between 250 to 300 adult PKU patients
        will be on treatment with Palynziq by year-end 2018, including 153
        subjects from the clinical studies.





    --  Valoctocogene roxaparvovec gene therapy for hemophilia A:  In May 2018,
        the Company updated the protocol for the Phase 3 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 Phase 3 GENEr8-1 study will now include 130 participants (an
        increase of 90 from the original 40) and is expected to be fully
        enrolled in the second quarter of 2019.Based on recent draft guidelines
        published by the FDA on the development of gene therapy products for the
        treatment of hemophilia, BioMarin believes that an accelerated approval
        path forward may be an option with valoctocogene roxaparvovec. In
        addition, if the Company pursues an accelerated approval, it will inform
        investors of that decision in the second half of 2019.


    --  Vosoritide for achondroplasia: On November 7, 2018, the Company intends
        to provide a 42-month update at R&D Day on vosoritide, an analog of
        C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP). It is being studied 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. 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.
    --  Tralesinidase alfa (formerly referred to as BMN 250) for MPS IIIB
        (Sanfilippo Syndrome, Type B): In September 2018, the Company provided
        an update at the Society for the Study of Inborn Errors of Metabolism
        (SSIEM) meeting from the Phase 1/2 trial with tralesinidase alfa.  Of
        the seven subjects who have been treated with the 300 mg/kg weekly dose,
        heparan sulfate levels were normalized in the brain fluid. All subjects
        also experienced normalization of the enlargement of their liver and
        spleen. Development Quotient (DQ), a measure of cognitive function
        normalized to age, was also monitored. Five of the seven subjects have
        experienced encouraging trends in brain function based on DQ measures.

Other Ongoing Clinical Development Programs:

    --  BMN 290 for Friedreich's Ataxia: In 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. Currently, there are no approved disease modifying
        therapies for Friedreich's ataxia. The Company is currently conducting
        additional pre-clinical work on BMN 290 and could potentially file an
        investigational new drug (IND) application in the first half of 2019
        based on the outcome of those data.
    --  Gene therapy product candidate for phenylketonuria (PKU): As previously
        announced, the Company expects to submit an investigational new drug
        (IND) application for a gene therapy product for the treatment of PKU in
        the second half of 2019. 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 is an AAV vector containing the DNA sequence that
        codes for the phenylalanine hydroxylase enzyme that is deficient in
        people with PKU.

BioMarin will host a conference call and webcast to discuss third quarter 2018 financial results today, Thursday, October 25, 2018 at 4:30 p.m. ET. This event can be accessed on the investor section of the BioMarin website at www.biomarin.com.

              (1)              As of January 1, 2018, the
                                  Company adopted the requirements
                                  of ASC 606 using the modified
                                  retrospective method, and as a
                                  result, there is a lack of
                                  comparability of certain amounts
                                  to the prior periods presented.

Non-GAAP Information

The results presented in this press release 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:
