Conference Call and Webcast Scheduled Today at 4:30 p.m. ET
SAN RAFAEL, Calif. , April 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (NASDAQ: BMRN ) today announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.
"During the quarter, execution across our business led to double digit revenue growth, on a constant currency basis, and an 18% increase in non-GAAP diluted earnings per share. At the same time, we made rapid progress on advancing our strategic priorities for the year, including accelerating and maximizing the VOXZOGO opportunity, focusing R&D on the most productive assets, and increasing profitability," said Alexander Hardy , President and Chief Executive Officer of BioMarin. "We were pleased with the outcome of our strategic R&D asset review, resulting in the acceleration and prioritization of the most potentially impactful medicines for patients. By advancing and focusing on these promising programs, we have taken decisive steps to drive value creation for all our stakeholders. This approach to delivering innovative therapies is an important part of BioMarin's operational transformation, and we look forward to sharing more details at Investor Day on September 4th ."
Mr. Hardy continued, "Quarterly results were driven by strong demand for VOXZOGO, the only approved treatment for children with achondroplasia, and solid contributions from our established enzyme products. During the quarter, we made significant progress executing on our top priority to maximize and accelerate the reach of VOXZOGO, in achondroplasia and beyond. Globally, the number of children treated with VOXZOGO increased by over 500 from the prior quarter, and totaled over 3,100 by quarter end. In our largest single market, the U.S., we are realizing the tremendous opportunity ahead and expect U.S. uptake trends to continue. Our registration-enabling plans with VOXZOGO in hypochondroplasia, and ongoing discussions with health authorities to align on development plans for idiopathic short stature and pathway conditions are on-track, with all three studies expected to begin enrollment this year."

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.
