Welcome to our dedicated page for Biomarin Pharmaceutical news (Ticker: BMRN), a resource for investors and traders seeking the latest updates and insights on Biomarin Pharmaceutical stock.
BioMarin Pharmaceuticals Inc. (symbol: BMRN) is a global biotechnology firm dedicated to the development and commercialization of first-in-class and best-in-class therapeutics. Founded in 1997, the company's mission is to transform the lives of patients suffering from serious and life-threatening rare genetic diseases, particularly those affecting children. BioMarin targets rare conditions that are often inherited, difficult to diagnose, progressively debilitating, and lack effective treatment options.
BioMarin's diverse product portfolio includes independently marketed therapies such as Naglazyme, Vimizim, and Brineura, as well as Kuvan and Palynziq for treating phenylketonuria (PKU). The company also collaborates with Genzyme to market Aldurazyme. In 2021, BioMarin's Voxzogo (vosoritide) was approved for the treatment of achondroplasia, a rare genetic disorder affecting bone growth. Following this, in 2022, Roctavian (valoctocogene roxaparvovec-rvox), a gene therapy for hemophilia A, received approval in Europe and in the U.S. in 2023.
BioMarin places significant emphasis on research, development, manufacturing, and commercialization speed, aiming to deliver important therapies promptly. The company's capabilities have led to numerous transformational therapies addressing unmet medical needs, providing substantial benefits over existing treatments.
Notable recent developments include the expanded FDA approval for Voxzogo to increase linear growth in pediatric patients of all ages with achondroplasia with open epiphyses, and the substantial revenue growth contributed by global demand for Voxzogo. BioMarin also focuses on hypochondroplasia, launching a pivotal clinical trial program and presenting positive early results from a Phase 2 study.
Financially, BioMarin has demonstrated robust growth, with increased revenue driven by high demand for its products. The company has secured agreements with U.S. and European health authorities to expand patient access to Roctavian and other treatments. Strategic initiatives include corporate governance enhancements and collaborations with major investors to maximize long-term value creation.

BioMarin Pharmaceutical reported a 15% increase in total revenues for Q1 2023, reaching $596.4 million, driven by strong sales of VOXZOGO. This product saw revenue growth of 346%, indicating robust market uptake in Japan and Brazil. The company's enzyme product revenues also contributed positively, with ALDURAZYME showing a notable increase.
However, GAAP net income decreased to $50.9 million from $120.8 million in Q1 2022 due to the absence of a previous one-time gain. The company adjusted its revenue guidance for ROCTAVIAN, lowering expectations to between $50 million and $150 million, while reaffirming overall revenue guidance for 2023 between $2.375 billion and $2.5 billion.
BioMarin's operational focus includes preparations for ROCTAVIAN's launch in the U.S., with a PDUFA target action date set for June 30, 2023.
