Novato, Calif., July 28, 2011 – BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (Nasdaq: BMRN) today announced financial results for the second quarter of 2011.

Research and Development Programs

BioMarin continues to make significant investments in research and development to ensure persistent growth of the company. The current pipeline includes programs in various stages of development that are focused on treating a range of serious unmet medical needs.

Advanced Clinical Programs

 

 

GALNS for MPS IVA: BioMarin is enrolling patients in the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase III study with primary endpoint of six-minute walk distance, 24 weeks in treatment duration and treatment doses of two mg/kg/week and two mg/kg/every other week. The company expects to enroll approximately 160 patients across 40 centers worldwide and to report top-line results in the second half of 2012.

 

 

Kuvan Outcomes Study: PKU-016, a randomized, placebo-controlled, 13-week Kuvan outcomes study is ongoing. 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 half of 2012.

 

 

Hand-Held Blood Phe Monitor: Several programs are underway to expand and protect the market and to improve the ability of healthcare providers and patients to better manage PKU. Regulatory clearance and commercial availability of the handheld blood Phe monitor are expected between the first quarter of 2013 and the third quarter of 2013.

 

 

Firdapse: BioMarin initiated a Phase III trial for LEMS in the U.S. in the second quarter of 2011.

Mid-Stage Clinical Programs

 

 

PEG-PAL for PKU: Top-line results for the Phase II study, including a formulation study and the ongoing daily dosing study are expected in the third or fourth quarter of 2011. The company expects to initiate a Phase III trial in the first or second quarter of 2012.

Early-Stage Clinical Programs

 

 

BMN-701 for Pompe Disease: BioMarin initiated a Phase I/II trial in Pompe patients in the first quarter of 2011. The trial is an open-label study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamic and clinical activity of BMN-701 administered as an intravenous infusion every two weeks at doses of 5 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg and 20 mg/kg. The company expects to enroll up to 30 patients between the ages of 13 and 65 years old with late-onset Pompe disease for a treatment period of 24 weeks. The primary objective of the study is to establish the maximum tolerated dose of every other week administration of BMN-701 and to treat an expanded cohort of patients at the maximum tolerated dose. The company has cleared a safety review after dosing the 5 mg/kg cohort and has authorization to start enrolling patients at 10 mg/kg. Top-line results are expected in the second half of 2012.

 

 

BMN-673 (PARP inhibitor): BioMarin has two ongoing trials for BMN-673. In the first quarter of 2011, the company initiated a Phase I/II open-label trial of once daily, orally administered BMN-673 for advanced or recurrent solid tumors. In July 2011, the company initiated a Phase I, two-arm, open-label, dose escalation study for BMN-673 for the treatment of patients with advanced hematological malignancies. The primary objective of the studies is to establish the maximum tolerated dose of daily oral BMN-673 and to obtain preliminary efficacy data in an expanded cohort of patients with genetically-defined tumors.

 

3


Preclinical Programs

 

 

BMN-111 for Achondroplasia: Regulatory interactions are underway, and BioMarin expects to initiate a Phase I trial by the first quarter of 2012. BMN-111 is an analog of C-type Natriuretic Peptide (CNP), a small cyclic peptide that is a positive regulator of bone growth, for achondroplasia, the most common form of dwarfism. There are approximately 18,000 to 24,000 patients in the U.S. and Europe, an estimated 25 percent of which could be candidates for treatment with a product like BMN-111.

 

 

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

Non-GAAP Financial Information and Reconciliation

The above results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 and financial guidance for the year ending December 31, 2011 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 (adjusted EBITDA).

The following tables detail 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 adjusted EBITDA methodology in establishing corporate goals for internal compensation programs.

Diluted Earnings Per Share Calculation

The calculation of GAAP diluted earnings per share for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 excludes 19.1 million and 26.3 million shares, respectively, related to the outstanding convertible debt as their impact is considered antidilutive. Additionally, all other potentially issuable shares were considered antidilutive under the Treasury method, including stock options, restricted stock, potential future ESPP shares and shares in the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan.

The calculation of non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 excludes 172,000 shares related to common stock issued to the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan, and 3.2 million shares related to a portion of the outstanding convertible debt for just the three months ended June 30, 2011 as their impact is considered antidilutive. No potentially dilutive shares were excluded in the calculation of the non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010.
