Conference Call and Webcast Scheduled Today at 4:30 p.m. ET
SAN RAFAEL, Calif. , Aug. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (NASDAQ: BMRN ) today announced financial results for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024.
"Strong execution across our business resulted in record double-digit revenue growth in the second quarter and first half of 2024. These top-line results, along with a focus on operational efficiency, resulted in a 78% year-over-year improvement in quarterly non-GAAP earnings per share," said Alexander Hardy , President and Chief Executive Officer of BioMarin. "Strong global demand for VOXZOGO led to nearly 900 new patient starts in the first half of 2024, the highest in VOXZOGO's history. Record VOXZOGO contributions in the quarter, driven by patient growth in all geographies, combined with double-digit growth from our enzyme therapies drove today's increased 2024 full-year guidance."
Mr. Hardy added, "During the quarter, global demand for VOXZOGO continued to increase as more families sought treatment with the only approved and genetically-targeted medicine for achondroplasia. Approximately 3,500 children were receiving VOXZOGO by the end of the second quarter, with more than half of new treatment starts in the United States for children under the age of 5. We are seeing strong interest from families in the United States seeking VOXZOGO treatment for their children and we expect this market to continue to drive significant expansion over the coming quarters." Mr. Hardy continued, "With VOXZOGO's safety and efficacy well-established, based on nearly 6,000 patient years of demonstrated and durable evidence, we are confident in our rapidly expanding leadership. Enrollment in our pivotal study with VOXZOGO for the treatment of hypochondroplasia is proceeding well, and enrollment in our separate studies for idiopathic short stature, Noonan Syndrome, Turner Syndrome and SHOX deficiency are advancing this year as planned, following alignment with health authorities."

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 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 tables present the reconciliation of GAAP reported to Non-GAAP adjusted financial information:
