SAN RAFAEL, Calif., April 25, 2013 – BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (Nasdaq: BMRN) today announced financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2013. GAAP net loss was $39.8 million ($0.31 per share) for the first quarter of 2013, compared to GAAP net loss of $24.0 million ($0.21 per share) for the first quarter of 2012. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $8.0 million for the first quarter of 2013, compared to non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA loss of $0.1 million for the first quarter of 2012. The increased GAAP net loss and the increased non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA loss for the first quarter of 2013 compared to the first quarter of 2012 was primarily due to increased net product revenue offset by a larger increase in research and development expenses.
As of March 31, 2013, BioMarin had cash, cash equivalents and short and long-term investments totaling $525.7 million, as compared to $566.7 million on December 31, 2012.
“In the first quarter, we continued to execute on our development goals as we head into another potentially transformative year for the company,” said Jean-Jacques Bienaimé, Chief Executive Officer of BioMarin. “We made good progress on a number of important fronts including commercial, R&D, regulatory and business development. Highlights included positive results for the Phase 1/2 trial for BMN-701 for Pompe disease, submission of the BLA for Vimizim in the U.S. and the MAA for Vimizim in the EU, the acquisition of Zacharon Pharmaceuticals and the licensing of the Factor VIII program for Hemophilia A. We hit all of our stated milestones for the quarter and remain on track to meet our upcoming goals for the remainder of the year.”

There were no abnormal ordering patterns in the first quarter of 2013. In the first quarter of 2012, there was a delayed order from the fourth quarter of 2011. There was a 10.2 percent increase in Naglazyme revenue in the first quarter of 2013 over the fourth quarter of 2012 and an 11.0 percent increase in patients on therapy as compared to the first quarter of 2012, which is consistent with that of previous quarters. |

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
| • | Vimizim for MPS IVA: The company submitted the BLA for Vimizim at the end of the first quarter of 2013 and the market authorization application filing in the EU earlier this week. Vimizim has received accelerated review status from the EMA. |
Mid-Stage Clinical Programs
| • | PEG-PAL for PKU: The company plans to initiate a pivotal Phase 3 study in the second quarter of 2013. The Phase 3 design includes (1) an open-label study to evaluate safety and blood Phe levels in naïve patients and (2) a randomized controlled study of the Phase 2 extension study patients and patients from the open label trial to evaluate blood Phe levels and neurocognitive endpoints. The FDA indicated the possibility for an accelerated approval based on demonstrating sustained reduction in Phe levels, though full approval may require demonstration of neurocognitive improvement. |
Early-Stage Clinical Programs
| • | BMN-701 for Pompe Disease: The company plans to initiate a Phase 2/3 switching trial by the end of 2013 in late-onset Pompe patients who have previously been treated with alglucosidase alfa. Subject to discussions with health authorities, the proposed study design is a single arm trial, with treatment at 20 mg/kg administered every other week for 24 weeks. The company intends to use the respiratory parameter MIP as the primary endpoint. Secondary objectives include MEP and six-minute walk test, as well as safety. The study will be conducted with full scale material from a revised manufacturing process, which has improved process robustness and increased productivity. |
| • | BMN-673 (PARP inhibitor): An update on the Phase 1/2 study in solid tumors is expected at the ASCO Annual Meeting in June 2013. |
| • | BMN-111 for Achondroplasia: The company plans to initiate a Phase 2 trial in patients in mid 2013. The primary objective of the clinical proof of concept study in pediatric patients will be to evaluate the safety and tolerability of daily subcutaneous (sc) injections of BMN-111 administered for six months. Secondary objectives of the study will be to assess changes in annualized growth velocity, changes in absolute growth and changes in body proportions. Other exploratory objectives will also be assessed. |
| • | BMN-190 for LINCL (Batten disease): BioMarin filed a CTA in the first quarter of 2013 and expects to begin enrolling the study in mid 2013. Orphan drug designation has been granted in both the U.S. and EU. |
Preclinical Programs
| • | Other early stage programs: BioMarin is working on multiple additional early development opportunities, including two new lead optimization programs gained through the acquisition of Zacharon Pharmaceuticals: inhibition of heparan sulfate synthesis for MPS III and inhibition of ganglioside synthesis for diseases such as Tay Sachs and Sandhoff. The company also has an ongoing Factor VIII gene therapy research program for Hemophilia A from University College London and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. |
Non-GAAP Financial Information and Reconciliation
The results for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012 are all determined in accordance with GAAP except for non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA which is determined on a non-GAAP basis. As used in this release, non-GAAP
3
adjusted EBITDA is based on GAAP earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and further adjusted to also exclude certain non-cash stock compensation expense, non-cash contingent consideration expense and certain other 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.
