SAN RAFAEL, Calif. , Oct. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (NASDAQ: BMRN) today announced financial results for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

"The strategic and operational decisions we have made over the last nine months are driving strong performance, reflected in year-over-year revenue growth in the third quarter of 28% and accelerated profitability," said Alexander Hardy, President and Chief Executive Officer of BioMarin. "We are executing on our new corporate strategy, focused on Innovation, Growth, and Value Commitment, as demonstrated by another quarter of strong financial performance and clinical progress as we advance potential new medicines for the patients we serve."

Mr. Hardy added, "Strong global demand for VOXZOGO led to over 3,800 infants and children receiving treatment as of the end of the third quarter. In the U.S., the majority of new patient starts in the third quarter were for children under 5 years of age, reflecting strong adoption from families seeking VOXZOGO therapy for their infants and young children. Our Enzyme Therapies portfolio also delivered impressive results, with third quarter revenue growth of 27% year-over-year, evidence of the continued growth potential of this portfolio," added Mr. Hardy. "Additionally, we made good progress advancing all of our innovative therapies under development. Within our CANOPY clinical program, we advanced our studies in five new indications with VOXZOGO. For hypochondroplasia, we are on track to complete enrollment in the Phase 3 registration-enabling study in the first half of 2025."

Financial Highlights:

  • Total Revenues for the third quarter of 2024 were $746 million, an increase of 28%, compared to the same period in 2023, driven by strong VOXZOGO contributions from new patient starts in all regions. In the quarter, revenues from BioMarin's Enzyme Therapies (VIMIZIM®, NAGLAZYME®, ALDURAZYME®, BRINEURA® and PALYNZIQ®) increased 27% compared to the third quarter of 2023. The increase was driven by a combination of the timing of order fulfillment to Sanofi as the company recognizes ALDURAZYME revenues when the product is released and control is transferred to Sanofi, increased patient demand, and the timing of large government orders in certain regions outside the U.S. Partially offsetting the increase were lower KUVAN® product revenues attributed to continued generic competition as a result of the loss of market exclusivity in 2022.

  • GAAP Net Income increased by $66 million to $106 million in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher gross profit driven by the factors noted above. The increase was partially offset by higher spend in Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A), primarily due to severance and other restructuring costs associated with organizational redesign efforts executed during the third quarter of 2024, higher income tax expense and the impact of ROCTAVIAN® inventory reserves on Cost of Sales.
  • Non-GAAP Income increased by $89 million to $178 million in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. The increase in Non-GAAP Income was primarily due to higher gross profit and lower SG&A expenses primarily related to sales and marketing activities for ROCTAVIAN outside of the U.S., Germany and Italy as the company executes on its updated strategy to focus commercial launch efforts on those three countries. The increase was partially offset by higher income tax expense and the impact of ROCTAVIAN inventory reserves on Cost of Sales.

3Q'24 Execution on New Corporate Strategy: Innovation, Growth, and Value Commitment

Innovation

  • Skeletal Conditions: During the quarter, BioMarin advanced development across its CANOPY clinical program with VOXZOGO (vosoritide) in idiopathic short stature, Noonan syndrome, Turner syndrome, and SHOX deficiency, with the pivotal study in hypochondroplasia expected to complete enrollment in the first half of 2025. BioMarin's long-acting C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), BMN 333, remains on track for initiation of the first-in-human study in early 2025.

At the 16th International Skeletal Dysplasia Society meeting (ISDS) in September, BioMarin and its external research partners contributed to eight presentations (including four orals) discussing the value of vosoritide and the burden of illness in achondroplasia and related disorders. These data included showing that children with achondroplasia treated with VOXZOGO experienced meaningful improvements in addition to height, such as gains in health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and increased bone length while maintaining bone strength. Researchers also presented encouraging data from ongoing investigator-led studies of treatment in children with other genetic skeletal conditions, including hypochondroplasia and Noonan syndrome, as well as those with genetic variants often associated with idiopathic short stature such as aggrecan (ACAN) deficiency and heterozygous NPR2 mutations.

  • Other Clinical Pipeline Programs: With BMN 351, BioMarin's next generation oligonucleotide for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, the program has completed enrollment into the first dose cohort and initial proof-of-concept data is expected in 2025 (including muscle dystrophin levels after 25 weeks of dosing). With BMN 349, an oral therapeutic for Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD)-associated liver disease, the program completed the single-ascending dose (SAD) phase of the first-in-human study and is expected to start dosing the multiple-ascending dose (MAD) phase of the study by end of the year. Enrollment is complete in the phase 3 study with PALYNZIQ in adolescents ages 12-17, and the study is on track for data readout in 2025 to support a potential U.S. Supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) in the second half of the year.
  • Pre-clinical Programs: With BMN 390, a compound for phenylketonuria which may lower hypersensitivity and enhance exposure, an IND is expected to be submitted in the second half of 2025. With BMN 370, a targeted nanobody for the prevention of bleeding in patients with low levels of von Willebrand factor levels, the company is progressing with pre-clinical work and targeting a potential IND submission for the second half of 2025.

Growth

  • As of the end of the third quarter, over 3,800 children globally, many from infancy, were receiving VOXZOGO for the treatment of achondroplasia. VOXZOGO's broad label has been especially important to those families pursuing maximum therapeutic benefit by beginning therapy at an early age.
  • In the U.S., the largest single market opportunity, the majority of new patient starts in the quarter were for children under the age of 5 years. VOXZOGO's extensive safety and efficacy profile led more families to begin therapeutic intervention early to potentially impact craniofacial volume, foramen magnum area, body proportionality and quality of life, in addition to durable increases in growth velocity.
  • Achondroplasia represents a global 24,000 total addressable patient population (TAPP). While the U.S. is the largest single market opportunity, markets outside of the U.S. represent approximately 90% of eligible patients. BioMarin is in the process of pursuing VOXZOGO access into more than 20 additional countries by 2027, providing the opportunity for even more children of all ages to benefit from the only approved medicine for the treatment of achondroplasia.
  • Enzyme Therapies continue to be a significant driver of growth, with revenues increasing 13% year-to-date, compared to the same period in 2023. As outlined at Investor Day, BioMarin is implementing new initiatives to drive sustained growth of the Enzyme Therapies across the approximately 80 countries where these medicines are available.

Value Commitment

  • During the quarter, the company made significant progress executing its financial strategy to deliver on its value commitment to stakeholders. Year-to-date, BioMarin's GAAP Operating Margin of 15.3% expanded 6.4 percentage points Y/Y and Non-GAAP Operating Margin of 27.7% expanded 7.6 percentage points Y/Y while GAAP Diluted EPS of $1.56 increased 103% Y/Y and Non-GAAP Diluted EPS of $2.60 increased 63% Y/Y. These measures of profitability increased at rates faster than revenue growth, representing the company's focus on operational efficiency.
  • During the quarter, the company continued to benefit from its ongoing $500 million cost transformation program announced at Investor Day through the impact of prioritized program decisions and ongoing execution of the enterprise-wide reorganization.
  • The company generated operating cash flows totaling $221 million in the third quarter, an increase of 63% compared to the same period last year. Total cash and investments at the end of the third quarter were approximately $1.5 billion, and with its increasing profitability, BioMarin is positioned to generate increasing operating cash flow into the future. In addition, BioMarin settled $495 million of convertible debt in cash during the quarter as planned, resulting in the retirement of approximately four million potentially dilutive shares. This was the first time that BioMarin retired a convertible note without issuing a new convertible instrument, thereby returning value to shareholders.
  • Today, BioMarin increased full-year 2024 guidance for Total Revenues, Non-GAAP Operating Margin, and Non-GAAP Diluted EPS. The updated guidance highlights the sustained strong demand for VOXZOGO and growth trajectory of Enzyme Therapies, as well as BioMarin's commitment to expand profitability while investing in innovation.
  • During the quarter, BioMarin reaffirmed long-term guidance and outlook previously provided at Investor Day on September 4, 2024, targeting:
    • Approximately $4 billion in Total Revenues in 2027;
    • 40% Non-GAAP Operating Margin(1) starting in 2026 and growing to the low- to mid-40% range over time;
    • More than $1.25 billion operating cash flow per year starting in 2027;
    • Mid-teen compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for total revenues through 2034; and
    • Treatments for Skeletal Conditions to represent a greater than $5 billion revenue opportunity over time.

Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Financial Information

BioMarin does not provide guidance for GAAP reported financial measures (other than revenue) or a reconciliation of forward-looking Non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP reported financial measures because the company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the financial impact of changes resulting from its strategic portfolio and business operating model reviews; potential future asset impairments; gains and losses on investments; and other unusual gains and losses without unreasonable effort. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on GAAP reported results for the guidance period. As such, any reconciliations provided would imply a degree of precision that could be confusing or misleading to investors.

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 Weighted-Average Diluted Shares Outstanding. Non-GAAP Weighted-Average Diluted Shares Outstanding is defined by the company as GAAP Weighted-Average Diluted Shares Outstanding, adjusted to include any common shares issuable under the company's equity plans and convertible debt in periods when they are dilutive under Non-GAAP. 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.

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, Non-GAAP Operating Margin percentage, Non-GAAP Diluted EPS, Non-GAAP Weighted-Average Diluted Shares Outstanding and Constant Currency 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 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:
