BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (NASDAQ: BMRN) (BioMarin or the Company) today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020.

Total Revenues increased 25% to $502.1 million. The increase in Total Revenues was primarily attributed to increased Net Product Revenues which were $489.0 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared to $394.5 million for the first quarter of 2019. The increase in Net Product Revenues was attributed to the following:

    --  Naglazyme Net Product Revenues increased by $27.4 million, or 32%,
        primarily due to orders from Russia and Brazil;


    --  Palynziq Net Product Revenues increased by $22.3 million or 181%, driven
        by combination of revenue from U.S. patients achieving maintenance
        dosing and new patients initiating therapy;


    --  Kuvan Net Product Revenues increased by $15.1 million, or 14%, primarily
        driven by patient growth in North America;


    --  Brineura Net Product Revenues increased by $11.8 million, or 97%, due in
        large part to global patient growth;


    --  Vimizim Net Product Revenues increased by $11.4 million, or 9%, driven
        primarily due to orders from Brazil; and
    --  Aldurazyme Net Product Revenues increased $10.4 million, or 23%, due to
        higher sales volume to Sanofi Genzyme.

The increase in GAAP Net Income for the first quarter of 2020, compared to GAAP Net Loss for the same period in 2019 was primarily due to the following:

    --  increased gross profits of $79.1 million primarily driven by increased
        product sales;


    --  a net gain on the sale of nonfinancial assets of $59.5 million due to
        the divestiture and sale of the Firdapse business; and


    --  decreased research and development (R&D) expenses; partially offset by
    --  higher selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense related to
        pre-commercialization activities for valoctocogene roxaparvovec,
        commercialization activities in support of the EU commercial launch and
        continued U.S. expansion of Palynziq, and foreign currency exchange
        losses.

Non-GAAP Income for the first quarter of 2020 increased to $116.5 million, compared to Non-GAAP Income of $24.8 million for the same period in 2019. The increase in Non-GAAP Income for the quarter, compared to the same period in 2019, was attributed to higher gross profit and decreased R&D expense, partially offset by higher SG&A expense.

As of March 31, 2020, BioMarin had cash, cash equivalents and investments totaling approximately $1.1 billion, as compared to $1.2 billion on December 31, 2019.

Commenting on first quarter 2020 results, Jean-Jacques Bienaimé, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of BioMarin, said, "With the arrival of COVID-19 to the many regions where we do business, BioMarin employees performed in unprecedented ways to ensure the continued supply of our critically-important medicines to the people we serve. I am proud of the commitment and dedication demonstrated by our colleagues in these challenging times. Our strong financial results in the first quarter underscore both the essential-nature of our products to patients and the extraordinary efforts made to maintain supply around the world. In the face of the many challenges of COVID-19, our regulatory team further progressed our next two potential commercial products. The Biologics License Application (BLA) for valoctocogene roxaparvovec for severe hemophilia A was accepted for Priority Review from the FDA with an action date of August 21, 2020. This milestone represents a tremendous achievement for BioMarin, but the potential approval of the first gene therapy in any type of hemophilia is an even greater triumph for the hemophilia community. They have been waiting decades for this groundbreaking advancement and we are honored to be on this journey together. With an approval decision for valoctocogene roxaparvovec expected later this year, our commercial team prepares eagerly to launch what we believe is the most innovative product yet for people with bleeding disorders."

Mr. Bienaimé continued, "Based on positive interactions with U.S. and European regulatory authorities in the quarter, we plan to submit marketing applications in both regions for vosoritide to treat children with achondroplasia in the third quarter of this year. Our multi-pronged dossier of data encompasses long-term clinical results in 5 to 18 year-olds, natural history data, the ongoing study of newborns through 5 years, and highly statistically significant placebo-controlled Phase 3 results. The positive and significant results from our vosoritide clinical programs have led us to believe that this potential drug could be the first pharmacological treatment for the underlying cause of achondroplasia. Interest in our clinical studies with vosoritide has been extremely robust, demonstrating that families are keen to seek early treatment for their children."

Mr. Bienaimé concluded, "2020 is expected to be a transformational year for BioMarin, despite impact from COVID-19 in the near-term. The agility demonstrated by BioMarin employees in the face of this global pandemic has enabled the continued supply of our essential medicines to the patients who need them. And while we expect minor financial impact in the near-term, our business is well-positioned to weather such challenges. Our first quarter revenue growth and improvement in profitability support our belief that 2020 continues to look poised to be one of our most significant value-creating years to date."

              (1)              Updated Revenue guidance reflects
                                  BioMarin's projected impact of the
                                  COVID-19 pandemic on its global
                                  revenue sources, mostly in the
                                  form of demand interruptions such
                                  as missed patient infusions and

                                  patients. The updated revenue
                                  guidance assumes stabilization of

        is on-track with a PDUFA action date of August 21, 2020. On December 23,
        2019, the Company announced that the European Medicines Agency (EMA)
        validated the Company's Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) for
        valoctocogene roxaparvovec which has been in review under accelerated
        assessment since January.  Although the MAA remains under accelerated
        assessment at this time, the Company expects the review procedure to be
        extended by at least 3 months due to COVID-19 delays.  Further, the
        Company believes there is a high possibility that the MAA will revert to
        the standard review procedure, as is the case with most filings that
        initially receive accelerated assessment.  Because of the combination of
        these events, the Company expects an opinion from the CHMP in late
        2020/early 2021.The Company recently received EMA licensure of its gene
        therapy manufacturing facility for the production of  valoctocogene
        roxaparvovec, an important step in obtaining regulatory approval of the
        product in the EU. The Health Products Regulatory Authority (HPRA) of
        Ireland conducted, on behalf of EMA, a pre-approval inspection in the
        first quarter and issued a cGMP certification in the second quarter. The
        inspection of the facility by FDA is expected to be complete during the
        second quarter, which would allow for potential licensure of the
        facility in the U.S. consistent with the August 21st PDUFA date.The
        marketing applications are based on the Phase 3 interim analysis and the
        updated three-year Phase 1/2 data from patients treated with
        valoctocogene roxaparvovec. The Company believes that both submissions
        represent the first time a gene therapy product for any type of
        hemophilia indication is under review for marketing authorization by
        health authorities. BioMarin has dosed 134 study participants in the
        full GENEr8-1 Phase 3 study with 52-week results expected in the first
        quarter of 2021. Although the trial is open label, BioMarin has
        implemented a data access plan designed to substantially mirror a
        blinded trial. This plan restricts the release of any ongoing data to a
        small group of medical personnel monitoring and managing the trial, and
        then, only to the extent necessary to perform their monitoring
        responsibilities.BioMarin intends to provide a four-year update with the
        6e13 vg/kg dose subjects and a three-year update with the 4e13 vg/kg
        dose subjects from the ongoing Phase 2 study in mid-2020.








    --  Vosoritide for children with achondroplasia: On April 6, 2020, the
        Company announced that based on recent meetings with health authorities
        in the U.S. and Europe, it plans to submit marketing applications to the
        FDA and EMA in the third quarter of 2020. The marketing applications are
        based on positive final results from its randomized, double-blind,
        placebo-controlled Phase 3 study evaluating the efficacy and safety of
        vosoritide. The placebo-adjusted increased change from baseline in
        growth velocity after one year of treatment with vosoritide, the primary
        endpoint, was 1.6 cm/yr (p<0.0001). Vosoritide is an investigational,
        once daily injection analog of C-type Natriuretic Peptide (CNP). The
        study enrolled 121 children aged 5 to 14 with achondroplasia, the most
        common form of disproportionate short stature. The results were
        consistent across the broad patient population studied. Vosoritide was
        generally well tolerated with no clinically significant blood pressure
        decreases. On November 14, 2019, the Company provided an update on the
        ongoing Phase 2 study of vosoritide which demonstrated over 54 months
        that children in cohort 3 (N=10) of the study, at a dose of 15
        µg/kg/day, achieved a statistically significant (p< 0.005) cumulative
        mean additional height gain of 9.0 cm compared to children, matched for
        age and gender, in a new comprehensive natural history achondroplasia
        dataset (N=619). 2.2 cm of this additional increase occurred in the last
        12 months of treatment further informing our understanding of
        vosoritide's ongoing treatment impact. These data are expected to
        corroborate maintenance of effect at the time of anticipated marketing
        application submissions later this year.The vosoritide development
        program includes four distinct areas of focus to support global
        approval. In addition to the completed Phase 3 study and ongoing Phase 2
        study in children ages 5-14 years, the global program includes a large
        contemporaneous natural history study which is underway.The fourth
        component of the Company's global development program with vosoritide,
        includes a large Phase 2 study in infants and young children (newborn to
        60 months old) with achondroplasia, to determine the impact of treatment
        in this age group. Cohorts 1 and 2 include children from ages 6 months
        through 5 years of age, and has completed enrollment. Completion of
        enrollment of cohort 3, which includes children ages 0 to 6 months old,
        is expected to be somewhat delayed due to impact from COVID-19.






    --  BMN 307 gene therapy product candidate for phenylketonuria (PKU): On
        January 13, 2020 the Company announced that both the FDA and the
        Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in the U.K.
        have granted the Company Investigational New Drug (IND) status and
        approved its Clinical Trial Application (CTA), respectively, for BMN
        307.The impact of COVID-19 has created uncertainty about when it will be
        safe for patients to be dosed in PHEARLESS, our Phase 1/2 study of BMN
        307. The Company currently estimates that dosing will begin in the
        second half of 2020. In the meantime, new sites are currently being
        prepared to open and enroll patients. All subjects participating in the
        PHEARLESS study will receive product made at commercial scale from
        BioMarin's award-winning gene therapy manufacturing facility. Both the
        FDA and EMA have granted BMN 307 Orphan Drug Status.Preclinical data
        with BMN 307 demonstrated a lifetime Phe correction sustained at 80
        weeks in mouse models. BMN 307 is an AAV vector containing the DNA
        sequence that codes for the phenylalanine hydroxylase enzyme that is
        deficient in people with PKU.


    --  BMN 331 gene therapy product candidate for Hereditary Angioedema (HAE):
        On November 14, 2019, the Company announced its third gene therapy
        candidate, BMN 331, for the treatment of Hereditary Angioedema (HAE).
        BioMarin plans to build on its ever wider and deeper expertise in
        developing gene therapies for severe hemophilia A and PKU to improve
        efficiencies in the development process, and to optimize capsid and
        transgene design. The Company is monitoring developments surrounding
        COVID-19 but expects to begin IND-enabling studies in mid-2020.


    --  Vosoritide for the treatment of Dominantly Inherited Short Stature
        (DISS): On November 14, 2019, the Company announced that vosoritide will
        be studied in broader genetic statural abnormalities starting with
        dominantly inherited short stature (DISS), as part of a research
        collaboration with Children's National Hospital. The Company plans to
        build on its learnings with vosoritide in achondroplasia and look for
        efficiencies in the development process, particularly around
        pre-clinical research and manufacturing. The Company is monitoring
        developments surrounding COVID-19 but currently expects the trial with
        vosoritide for DISS to begin in the second half of 2020.
    --  Gene Therapy manufacturing productivity increases capacity: On January
        13, 2020, the Company announced that significant improvements in
        productivity in the gene therapy facility had increased capacity for up
        to 10,000 patients per year, depending on dose and product mix.

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 is defined by the Company as GAAP Net Income/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 Income/Loss for each of the periods presented. In this regard, Non-GAAP Income 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 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 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 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 Income (Loss) to Non-GAAP Income:
