BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (Nasdaq: BMRN) today announced financial results for the first quarter of 2010. GAAP net income was $1.2 million ($0.01 per diluted share) for the first quarter of 2010, compared to GAAP net loss of $13.2 million ($0.13 per diluted share) for the first quarter of 2009. Non-GAAP net income was $8.8 million ($0.08 per diluted share) for the first quarter of 2010, compared to non-GAAP net income of $9.3 million ($0.09 per diluted share) for the first quarter of 2009. Non-GAAP net income excludes non-cash stock compensation expense, certain nonrecurring material items and the tax effect of the adjustments. The reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the GAAP net income is detailed in the table provided near the end of the press release.
As of March 31, 2010, BioMarin had cash, cash equivalents and short and long-term investments totaling $452.4 million.
"The year 2010 is off to a solid start, with several milestones already reached, including the recent launch of Firdapse in the EU and positive results from the Phase I/II trial for GALNS for the treatment of MPS IVA, with details in a separate press release issued this afternoon," said Jean-Jacques Bienaime, Chief Executive Officer of BioMarin. "In addition to the positive results from the Morquio Phase I/II trial released today, we also look forward to additional clinical milestones in 2010 including results from the Phase I trial of BMN-195 for DMD in the second quarter of 2010, results from the Phase II PEG-PAL trial in the third quarter of 2010, the IND filing for BMN-673 and the initiation of the Phase III trial for GALNS in the fourth quarter of 2010."
Net Product Revenue
Net product revenue from Naglazyme (galsulfase), an enzyme replacement therapy for mucopolysaccharidosis VI (MPS VI), was $48.6 million for the first quarter of 2010, an increase of 23.4 percent compared to Naglazyme net product revenue of $39.4 million for the first quarter of 2009. Naglazyme sales in the three months ended March 31, 2010 were not significantly impacted by changes in foreign currency rates, net of hedges.
Net sales of Aldurazyme (laronidase), an enzyme replacement therapy for mucopolysaccharidosis I (MPS I) recorded by Genzyme, were $39.9 million for the first quarter of 2010, an increase of 8.4 percent compared to net sales of Aldurazyme by Genzyme of $36.8 million for the first quarter of 2009. Changes in foreign currency rates caused an increase to Aldurazyme sales by Genzyme of $1.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010.
Net product revenue to BioMarin related to Aldurazyme was $14.2 million for the first quarter of 2010, compared to net product revenue to BioMarin of $17.0 million for the first quarter of 2009. During the first quarter of 2010, units shipped to third party customers by Genzyme exceeded BioMarin inventory transfers to Genzyme, which resulted in a decrease in BioMarin net product revenue from the royalty payable to BioMarin by Genzyme of $1.7 million. During the first quarter of 2009, BioMarin inventory transfers exceeded units shipped to third party customers by Genzyme, which resulted in an increase of $2.5 million in BioMarin net product revenue from the royalty payable to BioMarin by Genzyme.
Net product revenue from Kuvan (sapropterin dihydrochloride) Tablets, a product for the treatment of phenylketonuria (PKU), was $21.2 million for the first quarter of 2010, an increase of 36.8 percent compared to $15.5 million for the first quarter of 2009. The quantity of commercial tablets dispensed to patients in the U.S., increased 36.9 percent in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009 and decreased 7.2 percent in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the fourth quarter of 2009. Kuvan sales and patient referral trends improved in April, and the company continues to expect that 2010 Kuvan revenue will be in the range of $98 million to $108 million.

Firdapse Launch Update
BioMarin launched Firdapse for LEMS in the EU in mid-April, starting with Germany and the UK. Firdapse pricing has been filed in Germany at 23 Euros per 10mg tablet. Since dosages can range from 15 mg to 60 mg a day, the annual cost of therapy can vary widely from patient to patient. BioMarin estimates that the annual cost will range between 10,000 and 50,000 Euros per year.

Research and Development Programs
BioMarin continues to make significant investments in research and development to ensure continued growth of the company. The current pipeline includes programs which are in various stages of development and are focused on treating a range of unmet medical needs. BioMarin is also making significant investments in manufacturing and laboratory facilities to support the advancement of these programs. The company plans to host an R&D Day on October 19, 2010 to highlight ongoing R&D programs.
Advanced Programs
-- Firdapse: BioMarin launched Firdapse for LEMS in the EU, starting with
Germany and the UK earlier this month. The company expects to meet with
the FDA regarding the development strategy in the U.S. in the second
quarter of 2010.
-- GALNS for MPS IVA: BioMarin reported positive results from the Phase
I/II trial. Highlights include: (1) keratan sulfate levels fell within
a few weeks after the start of therapy and decreased further as the
study progressed, compared to baseline; (2) patients demonstrated a
clinically meaningful improvement in two different measures of endurance
and two different measures of pulmonary function as compared to baseline
and (3) the frequency and severity of infusion reactions appear
comparable to those observed with Naglazyme and Aldurazyme. BioMarin
expects to initiate a pivotal Phase III study in the fourth quarter of
2010.
-- Kuvan outcomes study/ Lifecycle development: BioMarin expects to
initiate a randomized, placebo-controlled, 13-week Kuvan outcomes study
in the third quarter of 2010. Endpoints include clinically validated
measures of neuropsychiatric symptoms. Several other programs are
underway to expand and protect the market and to improve the ability of
healthcare providers and patients to better manage PKU. These programs
include a state-of-the-art handheld device to measure blood Phe levels
in PKU patients. Human studies of this device are planned for 2010.
Regulatory approval and commercial availability of the handheld blood
Phe monitor are expected in the first half of 2011.
Mid-Stage Programs
-- PEG-PAL for PKU: The ongoing Phase II clinical trial is an open-label,
multi-center study to be conducted in approximately 35 patients in a
series of dose-escalating cohorts. The primary treatment period of
eight once weekly injections at a fixed dose will be followed by eight
weeks of dose and frequency optimization and an extension period.
Results from the Phase II PEG-PAL trial are expected in Q3 2010.
-- BMN-195 - Utrophin upregulator for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy: BioMarin
initiated the Phase I trial in healthy volunteers in the first quarter
of 2010 and expects to report results in the second quarter of 2010.
BMN-195 is an orally available small molecule which may upregulate
utrophin, a potential substitution for the missing dystrophin protein in
DMD patients.
Preclinical Programs
-- BMN-185 - IgA protease for IgA nephropathy: BioMarin is completing early
preclinical work. IgA proteases have been shown to cleave IgA
complexes, the deposition of which causes IgA nephropathy, an orphan
kidney disorder with few treatment alternatives.
-- BMN-673 (PARP inhibitor): The company expects to file an IND for
BMN-673 by the end of 2010 and initiate a Phase 1b trial in the first
quarter of 2011. BMN-673 has shown evidence of superiority over other
compounds in development in preclinical experiments.
-- Undisclosed programs: BioMarin is working on multiple early development
opportunities, of which two undisclosed biologics are advancing toward
IND-enabling decisions. The company plans to announce the next
candidate for IND-filing at the upcoming R&D Day on October 19, 2010.
Non-GAAP Financial Information and Reconciliation
The above results for the quarters ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009 and financial guidance for the year ending December 31, 2010 are presented both as determined in accordance with GAAP and on a non-GAAP basis. As used in this release, non-GAAP income is calculated in accordance with GAAP, but excludes non-cash stock compensation expense, certain nonrecurring material items and the tax effect of the adjustments. 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 and Aldurazyme 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.
Diluted Earnings Per Share Calculation
The calculation of both GAAP and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2010 and the first quarter of 2009 excludes the 26.3 million shares related to the outstanding convertible debt as their impact is considered anti-dilutive.
