* Naglazyme net product revenue for the second quarter of 2012 compared to the second quarter of 2011 was negatively impacted by $1.0 million (or 2.5% of sales) due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, net of hedges, and was also affected by the timing of government ordering patterns. Naglazyme net product revenue for the first half of 2012 has increased by approximately 9% compared to the first half of 2011, which is proportionate to the number of new patients that initiated commercial therapy over the last year.

Novato, Calif., August 1, 2012 – BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (Nasdaq: BMRN) today announced financial results for the second quarter of 2012. GAAP net loss was $32.0 million ($0.27 per share) for the second quarter of 2012, compared to GAAP net loss of $5.1 million ($0.05 per share) for the second quarter of 2011. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $7.3 million for the second quarter of 2012, compared to non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA gain of $13.9 million for the second quarter of 2011. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA excludes depreciation and amortization, contingent consideration expense, interest income and expense, income taxes, stock compensation expense and material non-recurring items. The reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the comparable GAAP measure is detailed in the table provided near the end of the press release.

GAAP net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $56.0 million ($0.48 per share), compared to GAAP net loss of $9.4 million ($0.09 per share) for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $7.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA gain of $32.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

As of June 30, 2012, BioMarin had cash, cash equivalents and short and long-term investments totaling $524.6 million, as compared to $287.7 million on March 31, 2012. During the second quarter of 2012, BioMarin completed a public offering of common stock with net proceeds of approximately $235 million.

“Our commercial portfolio continued to perform well in the second quarter, and revenue generated from our products is helping to fund a large portion of our pipeline programs,” said Jean-Jacques Bienaimé, Chief Executive Officer of BioMarin. “The successful and timely execution of our R&D pipeline remains our top priority as we look forward to several key clinical program readouts in the coming months. In addition to the results of the Phase 3 GALNS trial, we also expect to have results from three Phase 2 programs—PEG-PAL for PKU, BMN-701 for Pompe disease, and BMN-673 for solid tumors.”

Research and Development Programs

BioMarin continues to make significant investments in research and development to ensure a strong and profitable pipeline for the company. The current pipeline includes programs in various stages of development that focus on treating a range of rare and serious unmet medical needs.

Advanced Clinical Programs

 

   

GALNS for MPS IVA: The company is on track to report top-line results in the fourth quarter of 2012. Additionally, the company has begun three ancillary studies, in part to support future reimbursement discussions: a clinical trial for patients under five years of age and a cardiopulmonary study to more completely document the health benefits of GALNS are both enrolling, and a study in patients with limited ambulation is expected to start enrolling patients imminently.

Mid-Stage Clinical Programs

 

   

PEG-PAL for PKU: In the ongoing Phase II study, the rate of discontinuation due to adverse events remains low and virtually all patients who are able to achieve a therapeutic dose have their blood Phe levels lowered to less than 600 µmol/L, the target of therapeutic efficacy. The company is conducting Part D of the Phase II trial to characterize the safety of a shorter weekly induction regimen prior to switching over to the daily maintenance dose. Results are expected at the end of this quarter.

 

   

Kuvan Outcomes Study: PKU-016, a randomized, placebo-controlled, 13-week Kuvan outcomes study is now fully enrolled. Endpoints include clinically validated measures of neuropsychiatric symptoms and, if successful, may enable a label amendment. The company expects to report top-line results in the second quarter of 2013.

Early-Stage Clinical Programs

 

   

BMN-701 for Pompe Disease: The company has continued dosing patients in the 20 mg/kg cohort of the Phase I/II trial using the new material from the 12,000L process. The company expects to complete enrollment of 15 patients in the 20 mg/kg cohort by early August. BMN-701 has been generally well-tolerated with a safety profile consistent with other enzyme replacement therapies. Top-line results for the Phase I/II trial are expected in the first quarter of 2013.

 

   

BMN-673 (PARP inhibitor): Over 20 patients have been dosed in the Phase I/II open-label trial on once daily, orally administered BMN-673 for advanced or recurrent solid tumors, and the company has not yet determined the maximum tolerated dose. Top-line results for this study are expected in the fourth quarter of 2012.

 

   

BMN-111 for Achondroplasia: BMN-111 is an analog of C-type Natriuretic Peptide (CNP), a small cyclic peptide that is a positive regulator of bone growth. The company expects to report results for the Phase I study in the third quarter of 2012.

 

3


Preclinical Programs

 

   

BMN-190 for LINCL (Batten disease): BioMarin expects to file the IND for BMN-190 in the first half of 2013. Recent meetings with regulatory authorities have been encouraging and suggest a possible aggressive clinical and regulatory path to approval.

 

   

Other early stage programs: BioMarin is working on multiple additional early development opportunities.

Non-GAAP Financial Information and Reconciliation

The above results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011 and financial guidance for the year ending December 31, 2012 are presented both as determined in accordance with GAAP and on a non-GAAP basis. As used in this release, non-GAAP income is based on GAAP Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) adjusted to exclude non-cash stock compensation expense, contingent consideration expense and certain nonrecurring material items (Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA).

The following table presents the reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP financial metrics:

BioMarin believes that this non-GAAP information is useful to investors, taken in conjunction with BioMarin’s GAAP information because it provides additional information regarding the performance of BioMarin’s core ongoing business, Naglazyme, Kuvan, Aldurazyme and Firdapse and development of its pipeline. By providing information about both the overall GAAP financial performance and the non-GAAP measures that focus on continuing operations, the company believes that the additional information enhances investors’ overall understanding of the company’s business and prospects for the future. Further, the company uses both the GAAP and the non-GAAP results and expectations internally for its operating, budgeting and financial planning purposes and uses the Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA methodology in establishing corporate goals for internal compensation programs.
