Rhea-AI Summary

BioMarin Pharmaceutical reported third-quarter 2021 revenues of $408.7 million, down 14% from $476.8 million in Q3 2020. Net product revenues fell 12% to $369.5 million, with Kuvan revenues plummeting 45%. GAAP net loss reached $36.5 million, contrasting sharply with a $784.8 million gain in Q3 2020, primarily due to a one-time tax benefit. However, the company anticipates revenue growth in Q4 2021 and a strong 2022, driven by Voxzogo's recent EU approval and upcoming U.S. application. Full-year revenue guidance was revised to $1.820-$1.880 billion.

Positive
  • Anticipated growth in 2022 following Voxzogo's approval in Europe.
  • GAAP net loss improved guidance for full-year 2021, indicating potential profitability next year.
  • Strong demand signals for Voxzogo may enhance revenue.
Negative
  • Total revenues decreased by 14% year-over-year.
  • Kuvan product revenues dropped 45% due to generic competition.
  • GAAP net loss increased sharply from the previous year.

Net Product Revenues Marketed by BioMarin is the sum of revenues from Vimizim, Naglazyme, Kuvan, Palynziq, Brineura and Voxzogo (formerly known as vosoritide) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and includes Firdapse for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, each calculated in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP). Sanofi Genzyme (Genzyme) is BioMarin's sole customer for Aldurazyme and is responsible for marketing and selling Aldurazyme to third parties. Refer to page 10 for a table showing Net Product Revenues by product. In January 2020, BioMarin divested the Firdapse assets to a third party in a sale transaction. The sale is reflected in the Company's consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2020; as a result of the transaction BioMarin no longer recognizes Net Product Revenues from Firdapse.

Non-GAAP Income is defined by the Company as reported GAAP Net Income/Loss, excluding net interest expense, provision for (benefit from) income taxes, depreciation expense, amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, contingent consideration expense and, in certain periods, certain other specified items. Refer to Non-GAAP Information beginning on page 11 of this press release for a complete discussion of the Company's Non-GAAP financial information and reconciliations to the comparable information reported under U.S. GAAP.

BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (NASDAQ: BMRN) (BioMarin or the Company) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021.

"As we begin the last quarter of 2021, we are very pleased to be improving both top and bottom-line financial guidance for the full-year," said Jean-Jacques Bienaimé, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of BioMarin. "Uneven ordering patterns are a consistent element of our dynamic global commercial business, making full-year results the key indicator of product demand. The essential nature of our medicines to the people who rely on them, gives us confidence in the growth prospects ahead. We plan to finish 2021 strong and expect meaningful growth in revenues in 2022 leading to anticipated GAAP profitability next year. We look forward to providing full guidance for 2022 early next year, especially given early demand signals for Voxzogo, for the treatment of achondroplasia, in Europe, and the potential for Voxzogo to be approved in the U.S.  next month."

Mr. Bienaimé continued, "Foundational milestones are tracking to plan, starting with the European approval and launch of Voxzogo in the quarter. The level of interest in Voxzogo following approval has exceeded our expectations. If Voxzogo is approved in the U.S. next month, we expect the global Voxzogo launch to contribute meaningfully to our commercial business. Our next significant read-out, the two-year data from the 134-participant Phase 3 study with valoctocogene roxaparvovec gene therapy for the treatment of severe hemophilia A, will be shared in early 2022. We anticipate resubmitting the U.S. application in the second quarter of 2022, and we continue to anticipate the European opinion in the second quarter of 2022, should data be supportive. The cascade of these potential new product approvals, including global approvals of valoctocogene roxaparvovec and U.S. approval of Voxzogo, sets us up for significant potential growth beginning in 2022."

Financial Highlights:

  • Total Revenues for the third quarter of 2021 decreased to $408.7 million, compared to $476.8 million for the same period in 2020. The decrease in Total Revenues was primarily attributed to the following:
    • Lower Kuvan product revenues primarily due to generic competition due to the loss of exclusivity in the U.S., which was consistent with expectations.
    • Lower Aldurazyme product revenues due to timing of product fulfillment to Genzyme. BioMarin Aldurazyme revenues are driven by the timing of when the product is released and control is transferred to Genzyme to be marketed. Revenues for the third quarter of 2021 were comparatively lower than 2020 due to such timing. Based on data provided to us by Genzyme, patients receiving commercial Aldurazyme increased by approximately 10%, year-over-year. Aldurazyme 2021 revenues are expected to grow in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to the fourth quarter of 2020.
    • Lower Vimizim and Naglazyme product revenues primarily driven by timing of orders from Europe and the Middle East. High patient compliance rates during the quarter and year-over-year patient growth of approximately 10% for both Naglazyme and Vimizim reflected strong underlying demand. 
       
      These factors were partially offset by the following:
       
    • Higher Palynziq product revenues primarily due to a combination of revenues from more patients in the U.S. achieving maintenance dosing and new patients initiating therapy, which increased approximately 20% year-over-year. We expect the number of U.S. Palynziq patients to grow as U.S. PKU clinics re-open over the coming months. The commercial launch of Palynziq in BioMarin's European, Middle East and African (EMEA) region continues to progress through individual country level pricing and reimbursement negotiations.
    • Higher Brineura product revenues due to new patients initiating therapy driven by growth in EMEA and North America.  Strong patient compliance during the quarter and year-over-year patient growth of approximately 20% reflected strong underlying demand.
  • Total Net Product Revenues Marketed by BioMarin, excluding Kuvan, increased in the third quarter 2021 compared to the third quarter 2020.
  • GAAP Net Loss increased to $36.5 million for the third quarter of 2021 compared to GAAP Net Income of $784.8 million for the same period in 2020.  GAAP Net Income in the third quarter of 2020 was primarily related to the $835.1 million benefit from income taxes related to the intra-entity transfer of certain intellectual property rights to an Irish subsidiary, and there was no similar transaction in the third quarter of 2021.
  • Non-GAAP Net Income for the third quarter of 2021 decreased to $33.5 million compared to Non-GAAP Income of $98.7 million for the same period in 2020. The decrease in Non-GAAP Income for the quarter, compared to the same period in 2020, was primarily attributable to lower net product revenues.

Late-stage Regulatory Portfolio (Voxzogo and valoctocogene roxaparvovec)

  • During the quarter, the European Commission approved Voxzogo for the treatment of children, ages 2 years and older. The commercial launch of Voxzogo is underway, with revenues for the remainder of 2021 expected from France, Germany and select early-access countries. Marketing authorization reviews are in process in Japan, Brazil and Australia, with potential approvals in those countries in 2022.
  • The FDA is reviewing the Voxzogo New Drug Application (NDA) with the PDUFA target action date of November 20, 2021.
  • The European Medicines Agency (EMA) validated BioMarin's MAA for valoctocogene roxaparvovec resulting in an anticipated CHMP opinion in the first half of 2022, assuming favorable results from the two-year follow-up safety and efficacy data from the GENEr8-1 study.
  • BioMarin is targeting a BLA resubmission for valoctocogene roxaparvovec in the second quarter of 2022, also assuming favorable results from the two-year follow-up safety and efficacy data from the GENEr8-1 study, followed by an expected 6-month review procedure by the FDA.

Earlier-stage Development Portfolio (BMN 307, BMN 255, BMN 331, BMN 351, DiNA-001, Allen Institute Collaboration, Deep Genomics)

  • Details for BioMarin's virtual R&D Day on November 30, 2021 will be made available over the coming weeks. The Company plans to share an in-depth review of multiple early-stage pipeline programs showcasing next potential IND candidates.
  • BMN 307 gene therapy product candidate for PKU: The FDA placed a clinical hold on PHEarless, the Phase 1/2 study evaluating BMN 307, an investigational AAV5-phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene therapy, in adults with phenylketonuria (PKU). The hold was based on pre-clinical study findings from a model designed to understand the durability of BMN 307 activity in mice bearing two germline mutations, one rendering the mice immunodeficient. The clinical significance of these findings is being evaluated to assure safe and appropriate use of BMN 307. To date, findings appear specific to mice and have no known translatability to humans or other gene therapy vectors. BioMarin is working with health authorities to address the clinical hold and resume study investigations, as appropriate.
  • BMN 255 for a subset of chronic renal disease: The Investigational New Drug application (IND) for BMN 255 is active and the Company is dosing subjects. Kidney damage can progress to end stage renal disease, and the availability of a potent, orally bioavailable, small molecule like BMN 255, may be able to significantly reduce disease and treatment burden in certain people with chronic renal disease.
  • BMN 331 gene therapy product candidate for Hereditary Angioedema (HAE): BioMarin is leveraging its broad expertise in gene therapy to improve efficiencies in the development process of BMN 331. The IND for BMN 331 has been allowed by FDA and the first patient is expected to be enrolled around the end of 2021. Patients with HAE may experience benefit from the constitutive expression and stable C1-INH protein levels potentially provided by gene therapy, thus reducing the frequency and severity of attacks and reducing the burden associated with current standard of care.
  • BMN 351 for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD): IND-enabling studies continue with BMN 351, an antisense oligonucleotide therapy for individuals with 51-skip-amenable DMD. BMN 351 was developed using familiar chemistry and superior biology, by targeting a novel, upstream, splice enhancer site demonstrating improved binding affinity and metabolic stability in preclinical models. Preclinical data suggest that restored expression of near-full-length dystrophin protein at previously achieved levels of up to 40% will convert phenotypes from rapid loss to durable preservation of strength and ambulation. BioMarin anticipates filing an IND for BMN 351 in the first half of 2022.
  • DiNA-001 for MYBPC3 hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM): Pre-clinical studies are underway with DiNA-001 following a collaboration announced in 2020 with DiNAQOR, a gene therapy platform company, to develop novel gene therapies to treat rare genetic cardiomyopathies. Mutations in MYBPC3 are the most common cause of inherited HCM. Early investigations suggest that gene therapy-mediated gene transfer can lead to widespread expression of the gene product, cardiac myosin-binding protein C (MyBP-C), in cardiac tissue, which can normalize relaxation kinetics and potentially ameliorate the disease phenotype in individuals suffering from cardiomyopathy.
  • BioMarin and the Allen Institute are collaborating to create new gene therapies aimed at rare genetic diseases of the central nervous system (CNS). The goal is to combine the Allen Institute's leadership in large-scale genomic science in the CNS therapeutic area with BioMarin's expertise in developing transformational therapies for complex conditions, such as Brineura for CLN2. The phenotypes associated with some of these conditions have the potential to demonstrate profound recoverability and transformational outcomes, particularly when treated early. This partnership expands and fortifies BioMarin's capabilities and expertise in the CNS therapeutic area.
  • Deep Genomics and BioMarin recently entered into a collaborative agreement to develop oligonucleotide drug candidates in four rare disease indications. Through this collaboration, BioMarin will advance lead compounds identified and validated using Deep Genomics' artificial intelligence (AI) drug discovery platform into preclinical and clinical development. As part of this collaboration, BioMarin receives an exclusive option to each of the four disease programs for development and commercialization. By using a combination of Deep Genomics' advanced analytics and BioMarin's expertise in rare disease drug development, the collaboration could efficiently unlock a path to identify molecular disease targets for novel therapeutics.

In January 2020, BioMarin divested the Firdapse assets to a third party in a sale transaction. The sale is reflected in the Company's consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2020; and as a result of the transaction BioMarin no longer generates Net Product Revenues from Firdapse.

Non-GAAP Information

The results presented in this press release include both GAAP information and Non-GAAP information. As used in this release, Non-GAAP Income is defined by the Company as GAAP Net Income/Loss excluding net interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation expense, amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, contingent consideration expense and, in certain periods, certain other specified items, as detailed below when applicable. In addition, BioMarin includes in this press release the effects of these adjustments on certain components of GAAP Net Income/Loss for each of the periods presented. In this regard, Non-GAAP Income and its components, including Non-GAAP Cost of Sales, Non-GAAP Research and Development expenses, Non-GAAP Selling, General and Administrative expense, Non-GAAP Intangible Asset Amortization and Contingent Consideration, Non-GAAP Gain on the Sale of Intangible Asset and Non-GAAP Benefit From Income Taxes are statement of operations line items prepared on the same basis as, and therefore components of, the overall Non-GAAP measures.

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 and its components 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, 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 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 measures; likewise, the Company may in the future cease to exclude items that it has historically excluded for purposes of its Non-GAAP measures. Because of the non-standardized definitions, the Non-GAAP 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.
