Positive Sentiment: Commercial momentum in Q1 included total revenues of $766M, enzyme therapies up 6% YoY, Voxzogo patient count growing >20% YoY with a majority of new U.S. starts under age 2, and early uptake from the U.S. adolescent launch of Palynziq. Negative Sentiment: A $31 million cost‑of‑sales charge from an unsuccessful Naglazyme process qualification reduced Q1 margins and, together with pre‑close Amicus costs, lowered non‑GAAP EPS by about $0.20 (the company says the Naglazyme charge will be offset in full‑year 2026 non‑GAAP EPS guidance). Positive Sentiment: Multiple near‑term R&D catalysts could drive upside—top‑line pivotal readouts expected in Q2 for Voxzogo in hypochondroplasia and for BMN‑401 (ENPP1), ongoing BMN‑333 registrational‑enabling enrollment, and encouraging early BMN‑351 (DMD) dystrophin and functional data.

Please go ahead. Traci McCartyGroup VP of Investor Relations at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:00:07Thank you, operator. To remind you, this non-confidential presentation contains forward-looking statements about the business prospects of BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc., including expectations regarding BioMarin's financial performance, commercial products, and potential future products in different areas of therapeutic research and development. Results may differ materially depending on the progress of BioMarin's product programs, actions of regulatory authorities, availability of capital, future actions in the pharmaceutical market, and developments by competitors, and those factors detailed in BioMarin's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission such as 10-Q, 10-K, and 8-K reports. In addition, we will use non-GAAP financial measures as defined in Regulation G during the call today. Traci McCartyGroup VP of Investor Relations at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:00:51These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation from, as substitutes for, or superior to financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and you can find the related reconciliations to U.S. GAAP in the earnings release and earnings presentation, both of which are now available in the investor relations section of our website. Please note that our commentary on today's call will focus on non-GAAP financial measures, unless otherwise indicated. Beginning on slide three in introducing BioMarin's management team, joining today's call are Alexander Hardy, Chief Executive Officer, Brian Mueller, Chief Financial Officer, Cristin Hubbard, Chief Commercial Officer, and Greg Freiberg, Chief R&D Officer. I will now turn the call over to BioMarin's President and CEO, Alexander Hardy. Alexander HardyPresident and CEO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:01:39Thank you, Traci, and thank you all for joining us today. I am so pleased that we completed the Amicus acquisition last week, starting a new and exciting chapter for BioMarin with the addition of two innovative therapies, Galafold for Fabry disease and Pombiliti and Opfolda for Pompe disease. The acquisition accelerates our anticipated year-over-year 2026 revenue growth to 20% at the midpoint of today's updated guidance. This strengthening trajectory is just the beginning of BioMarin's enhanced longer-term financial outlook, supported by our larger, more diversified commercial portfolio. Since announcing our plans to acquire Amicus late last year, we have been preparing for rapid integration beginning on day one, with the goal of increasing the peak potential of these newly added products. Alexander HardyPresident and CEO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:02:36Following the recent close of the transaction, we initiated our targeted integration plan focused on leveraging BioMarin's operating scale and capabilities to drive diagnosis and treatment rates for patients with Fabry disease and late-onset Pompe disease. Next quarter, we plan to share this roadmap, as well as more detail on BioMarin's growth acceleration with the addition of Galafold and Pombiliti and Opfolda to our commercial portfolio and DMX-200 for FSGS in phase III to our late-stage pipeline. Turning briefly to first quarter results and outlook for the remainder of this year and starting with enzyme therapies, I am pleased with the strong interest we are seeing from the PKU community following the recent Palynziq adolescent label expansion in the U.S., which Cristin will discuss in more detail. Alexander HardyPresident and CEO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:03:32We expect enzyme therapies will deliver robust growth in 2026, further supported by the addition of Galafold and Pombiliti and Opfolda to the portfolio. Moving to our skeletal conditions business unit, we saw strong patient demand for Voxzogo, with new patient starts increasing across all regions in the 1st quarter. In the U.S., the majority of new patient starts were from the under age two cohort. These results reflect our focused investments in increasing adoption of Voxzogo, particularly among younger patients. Building on our leadership in achondroplasia, we are pleased to have submitted the sNDA for approval of Voxzogo. We expect to hear the timing of our review in the coming months. I want to congratulate our regulatory team for the outstanding work that went into this comprehensive submission package. Alexander HardyPresident and CEO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:04:29We also look forward to pivotal results for Voxzogo in hypochondroplasia and BMN 401 for ENPP1 deficiency both later in Q2. In summary, we expect 2026 to be a momentous year for BioMarin. Our immediate focus remains on the seamless and rapid integration of Amicus to accelerate our growth trajectory this year and beyond and pursuing regulatory next steps following the two upcoming pivotal data readouts. The addition of Galafold and Pombiliti and Opfolda to BioMarin's portfolio of innovative medicines provides an opportunity to reach more patients around the world, creating significant value for all of our stakeholders in the near and longer term. As we enter this next chapter, I would like to express my appreciation to the employees of both BioMarin and Amicus, whose dedication forms the foundation of our shared mission to serve patients. Alexander HardyPresident and CEO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:05:34Thank you for your attention. I will now turn the call over to Brian to provide additional financial updates. Brian? Brian MuellerEVP and CFO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:05:41Thank you, Alexander. Please refer to today's press release for detailed first quarter 2026 results, including reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures. All first quarter results will be available in our upcoming Form 10-Q, which we expect to file in the coming days. Brian MuellerEVP and CFO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:06:01Moving to slide seven. Total revenues in the first quarter were $766 million and increased year-over-year, supported by increased patient demand across both enzyme therapies and Voxzogo. As expected, those organic growth drivers were partly offset by order timing dynamics as well as lower revenue from Roctavian, Kuvan, and royalties. Enzyme therapies revenue increased 6% year-over-year, led by growth in Vimizim, Naglazyme, and Brineura. Palynziq's first quarter revenues were impacted by U.S. order timing, which resulted in elevated stocking levels in the fourth quarter of 2025, as discussed last quarter. We expect this stocking dynamic to normalize and anticipate year-over-year revenue growth for Palynziq in full year 2026 as growth in new patient starts in the under 18-year-old population gains momentum and patients continue to titrate to their maintenance dose. Brian MuellerEVP and CFO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:07:09Voxzogo revenue was supported by new patient starts across all regions and in line with the expectations that we shared on our prior quarter earnings call. Looking ahead, due to anticipated order timing and consistent with 2025, we expect Voxzogo revenue to be higher in the second half of 2026 compared to the first half. Cristin will provide more color on commercial dynamics in a moment. Turning now to slide 8. Cost of sales increased year-over-year in the first quarter, primarily due to a $31 million charge associated with an unsuccessful process qualification campaign to extend Naglazyme manufacturing capabilities. Importantly, this did not impact commercial supply. While this event decreased margins and earnings per share in the first quarter, we expect this charge to be offset in full year 2026 non-GAAP diluted earnings per share guidance. Brian MuellerEVP and CFO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:08:11Q1 non-GAAP R&D expense increased year-over-year, primarily due to spend to support BMN 401, our phase III clinical program acquired in the enzyme transaction in the second half of 2025. Development activities for Voxzogo for hypochondroplasia, BMN 333 for achondroplasia, and BMN 351 for Duchenne muscular dystrophy also contributed to higher year-over-year R&D expense. Non-GAAP SG&A expense also increased, partially driven by investments to support commercial expansion across enzyme therapies and Voxzogo, and partially driven by pre-close costs associated with the Amicus acquisition. First quarter non-GAAP diluted earnings per share was $0.76 and was significantly impacted by the drivers of increased operating expense that I just mentioned, as well as the impact of Q1 revenue, which we believe will be our lowest quarter of the year. Brian MuellerEVP and CFO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:09:16The impact of the cost of sales charge and pre-close costs associated with the Amicus acquisition resulted in a $0.20 earnings per share impact to our non-GAAP earnings per share result. Looking past those elements helps to measure BioMarin's underlying business performance, as well as how this Q1 result fits into our full-year earnings per share guidance, which remains unchanged for the historical BioMarin business before layering on the Amicus business. Moving to slide nine and our updated full-year 2026 guidance, which now includes the Amicus financial outlook starting last week. We are raising enzyme therapies revenue guidance to a range of $2.725 billion-$2.775 billion for the full-year 2026, inclusive of meaningful contributions from Galafold and Pombiliti and Opfolda, resulting in approximately 30% growth at the midpoint. Brian MuellerEVP and CFO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:10:22Adding these high-growth products to our enzyme therapies portfolio increases our full-year total revenue guidance to a range of $3.825 billion to $3.925 billion, with the midpoint representing approximately 20% year-over-year growth in 2026. For Voxzogo, we are maintaining our revenue guidance of $975 million to $1.025 billion, which continues to reflect high single-digit growth at the midpoint. On non-GAAP diluted earnings per share guidance, we are updating the guidance range to $4.85 to $5.05. As previously communicated, the acquisition of Amicus will be slightly diluted for the full year 2026. We continue to expect the acquisition to be accretive to non-GAAP diluted earnings per share in the first 12 months after close and substantially accretive beginning in 2027. Brian MuellerEVP and CFO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:11:27The Amicus P&L will be incorporated into BioMarin's financial results as of last week's closing of the transaction. In 2026, we expect to include the base Amicus operating expenses less initial cost synergies anticipated in 2026. As Alexander touched on, now that the transaction is closed, we have engaged more deeply with the Amicus business and plan to share our outlook on both commercial revenues and cost synergies on our next quarterly earnings call. To give some perspective on timing of the updated guidance. We expect order timing for the historical BioMarin products and 2 full quarters of Galafold and Pombiliti and Opfolda revenues in the second half of the year to drive significantly higher revenues as compared to the first half of 2026. To provide context, we expect more than 55% of total 2026 revenues to be recognized in the second half of the year. Brian MuellerEVP and CFO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:12:32Likewise, on the expected timing of our profitability, we expect Q2 non-GAAP diluted earnings per share to be just modestly higher than Q1, partially due to pre-close Amicus costs incurred in April, plus a higher amount of the 2026 Amicus dilution being weighted to the second quarter. Further, the revenue timing weighted to the second half of the year results in most of our expected profitability occurring in Q3 and Q4. These earnings timing dynamics drive approximately two-thirds of our 2026 earnings per share expected in the second half of the year. Briefly, on evolving geopolitical uncertainties, we are watching the situation in the Middle East very closely and note that today's guidance reflects an allowance for a modest amount of disruption in that region in 2026. Brian MuellerEVP and CFO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:13:29Looking ahead, we look forward to sharing with you our expanded financial outlook, enhanced by the addition of Galafold and Pombiliti and Opfolda, setting the stage for accelerated near and midterm growth. Thank you for your attention. I will now turn it over to Cristin for a commercial update. Cristin? Cristin HubbardEVP and Chief Commercial Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:13:50Thank you, Brian. We were encouraged by the commercial execution across our portfolio so far this year, with strong patient demand across enzyme therapies and Voxzogo. We look forward to providing a more detailed commercial update on our plans to maximize the potential of both Galafold and Pombiliti and Opfolda next quarter. Our initial priorities therein are focused on driving diagnosis in Fabry and switch in Pompe. This will support increased penetration in countries where Galafold and Pombiliti and Opfolda are marketed, while we can currently work on geographic expansion plans for both products. We look forward to updating you on our Q2 call. Now, moving to Slide 11. I'll begin with an update on first quarter 2026 performance, starting with enzyme therapies. As Brian outlined, enzyme therapies delivered 6% year-over-year growth in Q1, led by Vimizim, Naglazyme, and Brineura. Cristin HubbardEVP and Chief Commercial Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:14:45Across the enzyme therapies portfolio, we continue to see strong patient demand and adherence. Turning to Palynziq. In the first quarter, we continued to expand the underlying patient base, and physician engagement remained strong. Importantly, following the FDA approval of Palynziq's age label expansion to those 12 years and older in February, we have successfully launched in this age group and are seeing encouraging early momentum. We have observed broad interest and engagement from caregivers and healthcare providers treating adolescents during this critical stage of their development. Since approval, we have observed meaningful enrollments and new patient starts in people under the age of 18. From a prescribing standpoint, adolescent uptake is being driven by both physicians with significant experience prescribing Palynziq, as well as by clinicians who are newer to the therapy. Cristin HubbardEVP and Chief Commercial Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:15:35Recall that it can take a patient many months to titrate up to their maintenance dose of Palynziq. We would expect to see the results of positive early prescribing over the coming quarters. Palynziq continues to stand alone in its ability to enable people with PKU to reach physiologic Phe levels while reducing dietary restrictions, regardless of severity. With the U.S. adolescent launch underway and European approval expected later this year, we are excited about the impact Palynziq can have for additional families over time. Turning now to Voxzogo on Slide 12. As discussed, first quarter results reflected expected order timing dynamics following a strong Q-four, particularly in international markets. Importantly, we observed strong growth in patient additions globally, with the number of children being treated with Voxzogo increasing by more than 20% year-over-year. Cristin HubbardEVP and Chief Commercial Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:16:27With the competitor having recently entered the U.S. market, our focus has remained on executing our strategy. We continue to see strong momentum. During the first quarter, Voxzogo progress continued, supported by ongoing patient additions across all regions and ages, strong adherence and persistence globally, and continued expansion of the prescriber base. Our teams are focused on driving new patient starts across all ages, with an emphasis on children under two years of age, where international consensus guidelines for achondroplasia recommend early diagnosis and treatment with Voxzogo as soon as possible. In the United States, we are encouraged to see that our efforts educating and engaging with caregivers and HCPs are having an impact in the under two year-old age segment. In Q1, over half of new patient starts were from children under age two, a greater proportion compared to last quarter. Cristin HubbardEVP and Chief Commercial Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:17:21Additionally, we have seen an approximate 10% decrease in the average age of children initiating Voxzogo treatment in the under two segment, narrowing the window between diagnosis and treatment starts. Internationally, building on our global expansion into 55 countries to date, our strategy remains focused on reaching more patients in regions that have further opportunity and treating infants in countries that already have high penetration rates. With our sNDA for full approval now submitted, we believe the depth and durability of Voxzogo's clinical evidence can be further reinforced, strengthening its role in treatment decisions for infants and children with achondroplasia. At the same time, we're making progress in preparations for potential expansion of Voxzogo into hypochondroplasia. As we get closer to the phase III data and potential launch, our pre-commercialization activities continue to accelerate. Our initiatives in the U.S. are making a difference. Cristin HubbardEVP and Chief Commercial Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:18:18More people are being diagnosed at a younger age, diagnosis rates are rising, and more doctors are requesting diagnostic tests. We look forward to the phase III top-line results in the 2nd quarter of 2026, and submitting to global health authorities in the 2nd half of this year, with potential approval in 2027. In summary, we are pleased with the strong patient demand observed across the portfolio with continued momentum in our core business units and a compelling set of near-term opportunities to accelerate growth. With that, I'll turn it over to Greg for an R&D update. Greg? Greg FribergEVP, Chief Research and Development Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:18:54Thank you, Cristin. As expected, 2026 is shaping up to be an active year for R&D, and we're looking forward to delivering multiple meaningful milestones. Moving to slide 14, we've built a comprehensive Voxzogo evidence package that goes well beyond describing annualized growth velocity, highlighting long-term durability and clinically meaningful health outcomes for children with achondroplasia. Recently, at the Pediatric Endocrine Society annual meeting, we shared data from three ongoing long-term extension studies that illustrate these sustained benefits of Voxzogo over time. Consistent and cumulative improvements in arm span Z-scores were observed across all age groups over the six to eight years of follow-up, as depicted on the left of slide 14. On the right side, you again see consistent and cumulative gains in height and height Z-scores with durable results out to eight years of follow-up. Greg FribergEVP, Chief Research and Development Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:19:52In addition to anatomic measures of benefit, we also presented data demonstrating Voxzogo's favorable impacts on quality-of-life measures. Importantly, these sustained efficacy findings are supported by a robust safety database now comprising more than 10,000 patient years of exposure, reinforcing Voxzogo's well-established long-term safety profile. Taken together, this extensive body of evidence reinforces Voxzogo's differentiated profile with no other achondroplasia therapy supported by this level of long-term data with regard to safety, efficacy, and functional outcomes. Importantly, this data spans the full pediatric age population, and Voxzogo remains the only therapy approved for use immediately from infancy. This allows for early treatment initiation and enables a long window to positively influence endochondral bone formation and all the potential downstream benefits to health outcomes. Greg FribergEVP, Chief Research and Development Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:20:52Together, these data formed a strong foundation for our full approval submission intended to fulfill our post-marketing requirement, which was submitted to the FDA in April and will afford us the opportunity to share direct evidence of Voxzogo's long-term value with the community via peer-reviewed publications and presentations later this year. Now moving to slide 15, the remainder of 2026 includes several anticipated pipeline updates, including two particularly important pivotal data readouts expected in the second quarter. Starting with hypochondroplasia, we believe the healthcare provider community is looking forward to a targeted therapy that addresses this skeletal condition, and we are confident in the scientific rationale for Voxzogo in this indication. That confidence is grounded in the strong proof of concept and durability demonstrated in Dr. Dauber's investigator-sponsored study and in the rapid enrollment we observed in our own phase III pivotal trial. Greg FribergEVP, Chief Research and Development Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:21:50We look forward to sharing these phase III top-line results in the second quarter. Enrollment is progressing very well in our phase II study in children under the age of three, highlighting early interest in Voxzogo as a potential option from infancy in hypochondroplasia. We also expect phase III top-line data for BMN 401 in the second quarter of this year. As a reminder, ENPP1 deficiency is a rare, serious, and progressive genetic condition affecting vascular, skeletal, and soft tissue systems. BMN 401 has the potential to be the first disease-targeted therapy for ENPP1 deficiency. The ENERGY-3 study in children aged 1 to 12 includes two co-primary endpoints. The first is change from baseline and plasma measures of inorganic pyrophosphate through week 52. The second is change in the RGIC, or Radiographic Global Impression of Change, after 52 weeks of treatment, assessing improvement in skeletal health. Greg FribergEVP, Chief Research and Development Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:22:52Clinical experience with BMN 401 in older patients has shown that normalization of pyrophosphate is accompanied by improvements in bone mineral biomarkers, functional performance, and patient and physician-reported outcomes. In addition to these pivotal readouts, I'd also like to highlight progress with BMN 333, our long-acting CNP therapy. We are pleased to share that enrollment is underway in our global registrational enabling phase II/III study. We are rapidly progressing this program with the goal of establishing BMN 333 as a potential next-generation standard of care for achondroplasia and potentially for other skeletal conditions. Before closing, I'd also like to touch on BMN 351 for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. At the Muscular Dystrophy Association Congress in March, we presented initial data demonstrating dose-dependent increases in dystrophin at week 25 in both the 6 and 9 milligram per kilogram dose cohorts. Greg FribergEVP, Chief Research and Development Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:23:51These findings were accompanied by notable decreases in creatine kinase, a biomarker of muscle injury, and the prevention of functional decline as measured by the North Star Ambulatory Assessment and the six-minute walk test when compared to historically matched controls. We are encouraged by both the dystrophin expression levels and the functional improvements observed in our development program. Enrollment in the 12 milligram per kilogram cohort is ongoing, and we look forward to providing an additional update by year-end as this program continues to advance. Finally, we would like to thank the patients, families, and caregivers whose commitment continues to make this progress possible. Thank you for your attention today. We will now open the call to your questions. Operator? Operator00:24:37Thank you. We will now begin the question and answer session. If you have dialed in and would like to ask a question, please press star one on your telephone keypad to raise your hand and join the queue. If you would like to withdraw your question, simply Press star one again. We'll go first to Sean Layman at Morgan Stanley. Analyst at Morgan Stanley00:24:58Hi, this is Mike on for Sean. Thank you for taking our questions. I guess wanted to touch on two things. First, looking at the recent data at the Pediatric Endocrine Society, can you help to contextualize the benefits you saw on bone mineral content and hypochondroplasia, and how does that maybe inform or influence your expectations heading into the top line? Greg FribergEVP, Chief Research and Development Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:25:21Yep. Thanks for the question, Mike. This is Greg Freiberg. Yeah, in addition to measuring growth velocity across both Achondroplasia historically and Hypochondroplasia, of course, we're measuring a variety of factors of health and well-being, including bone biology and bone health. The DEXA scans that were presented in that cumulative data suggests again that in addition to growing bone length and stimulating endochondral bone formation, that yes, that bone is of healthy and, you know, a strength that we would like to see, and again, reiterates what we've seen in the other FGFR3 related mutation condition of Achondroplasia as well. Going into the card flip for the phase III study, we're certainly excited to see that data. Greg FribergEVP, Chief Research and Development Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:26:15The event is going to occur before the midway point of this year. We mentioned that it's in the second quarter. We're eager to see those results. Again, I think the data at Pediatric Endocrine Society highlights the fact that hypochondroplasia, while a unique and individual indication, as compared to achondroplasia, the related biology suggests again that the hypothesis is a strong one. We've seen in Andrew Dauber's data from Children's National Hospital, again, we've seen the kind of growth that certainly would meet the criteria for a statistically significant improvement that our study is developed to measure. With regard to that safety profile, we're not anticipating any unexpected events there as well. Fingers crossed. We'll be updating you all when that data is available. Analyst at Morgan Stanley00:27:08Thank you so much. That's really helpful. Just maybe circling back onto the intro comments. Regarding the integration of Amicus, you alluded maybe there's like a roadmap for future growth acceleration. We were just wondering if you could help to comment, I mean specifically for Pombiliti or Opfolda, what levers do you see for driving increased switch rates in that market? Thank you. Cristin HubbardEVP and Chief Commercial Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:27:30Yeah. Thank you so much. This is Cristin Hubbard here. Just having closed last week, I can say we are really, really excited about the commercial potential of both of these products, both being high-growth products to add to our portfolio. As we've mentioned before, but I'll expand a little bit, for Galafold specifically, we really do think that the biggest growth lever is in and around diagnosis. We know that a large proportion of the amenable patient population remains undiagnosed, and driving diagnosis is exactly where, you know, Amicus has really started to build momentum. We feel that using BioMarin's capability in this regard, we can really continue to drive that forward. Cristin HubbardEVP and Chief Commercial Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:28:09On the Pombiliti and Opfolda side, that's more about a switching opportunity, we really do think that there's gonna be a sizable opportunity here to build over the next few years as patients on their existing therapies begin to progress. We're really working on initiatives that again, Amicus has started, and that is around kind of starting new therapy, looking at patients that have identified their own progression and understanding what progression looks like. That's an area that we're really focused on, not to mention the continued generation of evidence to show the benefits of a switch. Again, these are areas that we feel confident in our capability at BioMarin and are very excited about the future trajectory. We'll share more on that on our Q2 call. Operator00:28:56We'll move to our next question from Salveen Richter at Goldman Sachs. Analyst at Goldman Sachs00:29:01Thanks for taking our question. This is Tommy on for Salveen. Just a quick one on Voxzogo. Wondering if you've seen any early signals of different behavior from competitor entry, whether it be switching or in new patient adds. Thank you. Cristin HubbardEVP and Chief Commercial Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:29:17Yeah. Thank you for the question. This is Cristin again. As you heard in our prepared comments, our demand in the first quarter really does remain strong. Our enrollments, in fact, in Q1, exceeded that in the average of second half last year, and that trend continued into April. As we see it now, we're really excited. As you know, we're very much focused on the 0 to 2 population based on the consensus guidelines, and we're seeing real momentum there. Not only were our new patient starts weighted and more than half of them being in that 0 to 2 population in the first quarter, but we're also seeing a reduction in the time we have from diagnosis to treatment in that population. That is reduced by 10% already. Cristin HubbardEVP and Chief Commercial Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:30:03We know that that real focus therein is working. In addition, we're focused on the patients that are already on treatment and making sure that, you know, those patients for whom they're doing well on treatment, we wanna make sure that they understand the totality of the evidence that exists for Voxzogo and continue to have a positive experience in terms of the benefit. We're very pleased with how Q1 went and look forward to continuing on that trajectory. Operator00:30:34We'll go next to Paul Matteis at Stifel. Paul MatteisManaging Director and Head of Biotech Research at Stifel00:30:40Great. Thanks so much for taking my question. Just kind of previewing your update next quarter as it relates to the Amicus integration. I was wondering if you could set the stage for us on just what you might be providing as it relates to the duration of the revenue outlook. Would you talk about peak sales at all, or update those views or anything else? Secondarily, anything you can do on setting the stage on our expectations related to accretion, cost synergies, and again, the duration of profitability outlook as well. Thank you. Brian MuellerEVP and CFO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:31:12Hi, Paul. Thanks. Appreciate the question. Yeah, we wanted to highlight today having, you know, just closed the transaction a week ago. You know, brief update on the integration to date, which a weekend is going well and you saw the update of our revenue guidance today, adding our expected range of the 8 months of Amicus revenues, resulting in a $500 million midpoint and the updated guidance, which is 20% year-over-year. We also wanted to set the stage for the Q2 update. From the transaction announcement, we've discussed how the strategic fit between these two businesses was very strong. Brian MuellerEVP and CFO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:32:03That because of the both global and commercial and medical capabilities that BioMarin built over time in our existing portfolio, that these two medicines should truly have more potential within BioMarin. That was a key rationale underlying the transaction, and we've been making plans up to this point of closing. Now that we've closed, we're just digging in and engaging more deeply with the Amicus business. That's why we're gonna wait until Q2 to give this additional update. It will include a number of details and metrics about the long-term potential, including our views on peak revenue. Brian MuellerEVP and CFO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:32:49Just a reminder, based on our due diligence at the time of announcement of the transaction, we reiterated what Amicus had shared with respect to peak revenue potential of roughly $1 billion each for Galafold and Pombiliti and Opfolda. But as we developed the long-term business plans and strategies to expand both of these medicines, we think that has some potential to be higher. That's what we'll share. It'll be important for us to share some of the key metrics and, you know, tactics in terms of how we expect to achieve that long-term potential. Stay tuned, and we'll look forward to sharing more in Q2. By the way, that will include some of the other financial elements as well, such as synergies, long-term profitability, accretion, et cetera. Brian MuellerEVP and CFO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:33:41I will share that for today, we are reaffirming our previous expectation that while, as you saw in the EPS guide today, the Amicus acquisition is slightly dilutive to calendar 26, but accretive for the first 12 months following closing and then substantially accretive for beginning full year 27. We'll look forward to sharing more, but we're off to a strong start. Operator00:34:11We'll move next to Ellie Merle at Barclays. Analyst at Barclays00:34:16Hi, this is Jasmine on for Ellie. Thank you so much for taking our question. Just for Voxzogo and hypochondroplasia, what's the latest on what you're thinking will be good data and what you're looking to see on AGV? How are you thinking about the contribution to Voxzogo revenues from hypochondroplasia next year? What do you think the cadence of uptake will be in this population? Can you talk a little bit about your commercial preparations? Thanks. Greg FribergEVP, Chief Research and Development Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:34:47Thanks, Jasmine. This is Greg Freiberg. Maybe I'll take the first part and then hand it off to my colleague. With regard to the CANOPY-HCH-3 study we're turning over, of course, we'll be looking at the data in the second quarter of this year. Absolutely looking forward to that. Of course, the success is a statistically significant improvement in growth as compared to the control arm. You know, in this world, of course, we're measuring a variety of other measures. We're looking of course at other anthropomorphic measures, as well as of course the safety profile and really any statistically positive improvement in growth. We think that that's a win for these patients. Greg FribergEVP, Chief Research and Development Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:35:28I'll just add that, you know, we've seen pretty dramatic, I think accelerations of recruitment, both for the older children as well as, I mentioned in the pre-prepared remarks, the infants, on our hypochondroplasia study, really suggesting that this is a market that's hungry for a disease-targeted therapy. Again, the biology is significantly similar to that of achondroplasia with regard to the mutation that drives this condition. From that standpoint, and of course built upon the data that Andrew Dauber has seen, we're quite excited to see what those end results will be. I think there was a question also about the marketplace, and I'm gonna hand that one off to Cristin. Cristin HubbardEVP and Chief Commercial Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:36:13Yeah. Thank you. Overall, our goal of course is to continue the growth of Voxzogo into the midterm, and hypochondroplasia provides an important component of that. Really where we're focused today on our pre-launch activities is in and around diagnosis. We have shared before that the total addressable patient population globally is at 14,000, and that assumes that we can continue to drive diagnosis and awareness of this condition. Our goal at this point in time prior to launch really is around increasing the number of hypochondroplasia patients that have been identified, that we're getting physicians to understand the genetic testing and make sure that they're putting in orders for that. Really, the idea being that patients get diagnosed at a much earlier age. Cristin HubbardEVP and Chief Commercial Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:37:02Our goal today is to improve upon that and make sure that we have identified patients at the time of a potential launch. Greg FribergEVP, Chief Research and Development Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:37:09Jasmine, if I could just add one other factor from the medical affairs standpoint. We're obviously actively working in the community even prior to seeing our data to really try to accelerate the number of patients that are diagnosed with this condition. You know, there's probably three prongs to that. Of course, getting patients to be able to be referred sooner to be evaluated. Of course, more testing, as well as we're doing work on the genetic side to reclassify so-called VUSs, variants of uncertain significance. In that world, we're anticipating again that there will be patients available and ready for this therapy should it become available. Cristin HubbardEVP and Chief Commercial Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:37:47Just to throw out a few components if I could quickly. On the success we've had already, when looking at the diagnosis program that we're running to date and these kind of non-promotional pre-launch activities, we're already seeing a 90% increase in the number of hypochondroplasia patients that we've identified, as well as a 70% reduction in the age. Those are precisely the types of numbers that we're driving for and wanna continue throughout our launch period. Operator00:38:16Excuse me. We'll move to our next question from Cory Kasimov at Evercore. Analyst at Evercore ISI00:38:21Hi, this is Eddie on for Corey. Thanks for taking the question. I had a question on the guidance increase. The $500 million from midpoint increase in guidance, can you frame that? You know, the contribution from Galafold power up, is that conservative relative to the $600 million revenue they generated in FY 2025? What are the key assumptions for, you know, adding these two assets into the guidance? Brian MuellerEVP and CFO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:38:58Hi, Eddie. This is Brian. Thanks a lot for the question. I appreciate the opportunity to provide a bit more color on this important element of today's update. Yeah, I'll frame it up for you. First of all, you know, the $500 million represents a midpoint of a range that fits within the range of our existing enzyme therapies guide for 2026, I'll speak to the midpoint. From a timing standpoint, just a reminder that with the transaction closing last week, that $500 million midpoint represents mostly the eight months remaining from May to December for this year. I will share in terms of, you know, your question around conservatism, I would say it's neither conservative nor aggressive. We think it's realistic. Brian MuellerEVP and CFO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:39:50I'll share that, you know, we've analyzed the unreported period of Amicus product revenue from January through April. When we looked at that versus consensus, January through April performance, while not reported, was ahead of consensus. You know, both Galafold and Pombiliti together are off to a strong start in 2026. With that being said, again, it's, this is the transaction closed just a week ago. We'll come back next quarter with additional color, including the long-term potential. I'll also share that, since you commented on the $600 million reported for 2025, the range that's underlying today's update, from an Amicus, you know, organic year-over-year growth rate standpoint ranges from the high teens to the low 20s. Brian MuellerEVP and CFO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:40:53We think it's a really healthy growth, and we're excited that these assets are now part of our portfolio. Again, you see this 30% increase year-over-year as a result of lay-layering this onto the BioMarin enzyme therapies and total revenue 20% at the midpoint. We're feeling good about it, and we'll share more going forward. Analyst at Evercore ISI00:41:18Thank you. Operator00:41:18We'll go next to Jessica Fye at JPMorgan. Analyst at JPMorgan00:41:22Hi, this is Jose on for Jess. Thanks for taking our questions. How should we think about the adoption of Voxzogo in hypochondroplasia relative to achondroplasia? What do you see as the similarities and differences between these markets? Second, can you help us bridge the disconnect between the 20% year-over-year patient growth in 1Q versus a 3% revenue growth? Is it entirely explained by larger orders in the fourth quarter last year? Thank you. Cristin HubbardEVP and Chief Commercial Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:41:52Yeah. I'll address the first part of the question in terms of how we see it, in terms of uptake going in. I think we can consider it being similar to that of achondroplasia. I think, as I'd mentioned kinda earlier, what is most important to us is ensuring that the amount of disease awareness, the urgency to treat, and the diagnosis are really what we're focused on because we believe this is what accelerates that adoption curve. Our intention has been to drive as much of that so that we have patients identified at the time of our potential launch in the beginning of 2027. Importantly, that we continue on with that momentum because that ultimately is going to be what drives the shape of the adoption curve. Greg FribergEVP, Chief Research and Development Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:42:35Cristin, from a medical standpoint, if I could just comment. Hypochondroplasia, children are not born with the same growth deficit that the achondroplasia patients may be born with. As a result, they often are diagnosed a bit later. They're referred and diagnosed. Greg FribergEVP, Chief Research and Development Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:42:54That data point that we referred to earlier, which was one of our goals to try to shrink that number in terms of age of diagnosis, is something that we see as a real positive sign that the work that we're doing to get these children in the hands of the right physicians, who again, can know what to do for them, that seems like a real early success, and we're looking forward to continuing to help shape that community and make these therapies should they become available actually in the hands of the physicians who treat the patients. Brian MuellerEVP and CFO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:43:26Thanks, Greg Freiberg and Cristin Hubbard. I'll take that revenue timing or fluctuation question. I appreciate you pointing that out because it is important to emphasize that the disconnect between that underlying patient demand growth and reported revenues is entirely order timing. There's a couple of different layers to that. one, both of which we discussed last quarter, by the way. one was, you know, large international orders that were processed in Q4 that just didn't recur in Q1. The two was something that was somewhat unique to our business when looking back over the years, which was a modest amount of U.S. stocking impact from Q4 to Q1. This affected both Palynziq and Voxzogo. Brian MuellerEVP and CFO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:44:13It wasn't significant, just, you know, about an extra week of inventory, but it was enough to show up as a variance in the quarter-over-quarter revenue. This is why we wanted to emphasize the underlying patient demand growth. There's no significant price drivers in there, by the way. It is entirely order timing dynamics. Operator00:44:38We'll move next to Phil Nadeau at TD Cowen. Phil NadeauManaging Director and Senior Research Analyst at TD Cowen00:44:43Good afternoon. Thanks for taking our questions.two from us. First, could you give an update on the ITC hearing? In particular, we're curious to get your thoughts on the ITC pretrial brief that was recently posted online. That's first. Second, in the press release, there's a note that there's gonna be some data from BMN 333's phase II, III trial in 2027. Could you provide a little bit more details around what data will be released at that time? Thanks. Alexander HardyPresident and CEO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:45:14Thanks very much, Phil. It's Alexander. I'll take the first part of your question, then hand it over to Greg for the second part. With regard to the ITC, I mean, you know, overall, you know, we believe that pursuing an exclusion order at the ITC, enforcing our IP is the most expeditious way to protect our IP in the U.S. As you mentioned, we recently completed the ITC evidentiary hearing, and post-hearing briefs are now being submitted to the presiding chief administrative law judge. What happens next is we expect to receive a decision on whether Ascendis's product infringes our patent on or about August 21st. At that point, if the full commission decides to review the decision, the final decision is expected on or about December 21st. Alexander HardyPresident and CEO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:46:10This is a little bit of, you know, where we are and what can we expect going forward. I will also add that, you know, on completion of the ITC process, we would expect to also enforce our patent in the federal district court, where, of course, monetary damages are available. I'll now hand it over to Greg. Greg FribergEVP, Chief Research and Development Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:46:34Thanks for the question, Phil Nadeau, about BMN 333. As a reminder, for those on the call, this is our long-acting CNP analog, again, designed to release continuous, potentially higher AUC exposures of CNP, when administered on a weekly basis. Again, as a reminder, in our phase I, we saw over 10x increases in the AUC levels that we were able to achieve safely in the healthy volunteers. We've recently initiated our phase II/III study in children with achondroplasia. This is a multi-regional clinical trial. It's currently open in a variety of countries around the world. We're enrolling as we speak. Our goal is to run the phase II portion where one of three doses of BMN 333 will be administered to the children. Greg FribergEVP, Chief Research and Development Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:47:31There'll be one arm that has Voxzogo as well. There's no placebo on this study. What we will ultimately report out in 2027 is that we will be able to measure the annualized growth velocity at the six month time point, and we'll be using that data along with other measures, anthropomorphic measures, other measures of safety and well-being, to make a decision based on a Bayesian analysis of which dose we should bring forward into a phase III to run head-to-head against Voxzogo. Again, looking for a superiority profile when it comes to AGV, with the presumption that more AGV will drive more in the measurements of health and wellness that we're all familiar with. Operator00:48:17We'll go next to Chris Raymond at Raymond James. Chris RaymondManaging Director, Equity Research at Raymond James00:48:23Thanks. Just a question on the pivotal trial for BMN 333. I know this has come up before, but I guess I wanna just ask maybe in a more pointed way on the decision to go with a superiority trial versus non-inferiority. Chris RaymondManaging Director, Equity Research at Raymond James00:48:40I think I've heard what you guys have said around BMN 333 providing 2 to 3x free CNP and that should translate into higher efficacy. Maybe just strategically, if a non-inferiority trial could show that data, why take the risk and run a superiority study? Thanks. Greg FribergEVP, Chief Research and Development Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:49:02Thanks for the question. This is Greg Freiberg. You know, our goal with BMN 333 is to evolve this space, not just make a more convenient version of Voxzogo. I'll just highlight that that 3x target was an at least 3x. We're actually testing a 3x, a 5x, and greater than 7x AUC exposure. From that standpoint, we believe strongly that BMN 333 is the right reagent to test this hypothesis. I'll also add that, you know, from a non-inferiority standpoint, it's a natural question to ask, wouldn't this be easier? From a pure mathematical standpoint, it's actually much harder, and the study would be upwards of 10x the size in order to show non-inferiority versus, you know, a drug like Voxzogo. Greg FribergEVP, Chief Research and Development Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:49:52From that standpoint, there's a practicality of designing the study, but I do want to reassure you that we will have an opportunity to look at the data after our phase II portion. If there need to be adjustments, if the Bayesian model gives us an update that tells us we should be reevaluating, those would be potential opportunities. That being said, we are very clear with what we want out of this molecule. We want a superior CNP product that can be the cornerstone for future therapies for achondroplasia. Alexander HardyPresident and CEO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:50:23I would just add, absolutely, as Greg Freiberg said, this is Alexander Hardy. You know, we think the opportunity and the need here is really around superiority, in terms of efficacy, AGV, and all the benefits beyond linear growth. But also, you know, by this design of a study, we actually have an active control with Voxzogo. The size of the study is smaller than it would be if it was a non-inferiority design, as Greg Freiberg has already covered. We also think the proposition to both caregivers and physicians means that, you know, this should be a study that's very attractive to potential patients to sign up to be included, and therefore, you know, speed of recruitment, which is extremely important. Alexander HardyPresident and CEO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:51:12We think that superiority profile we're aiming for from an efficacy standpoint, together with rapid trial recruitment and milestones being achieved is really a compelling proposition. Greg FribergEVP, Chief Research and Development Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:51:24Yeah, placebo-controlled studies, when there are active, safe and effective therapies, are no longer really, you know, possible to run. It's not the right thing to do either. Operator00:51:38We'll take our next question from Mohit Bansal at Wells Fargo. Chen XuAnalyst at Wells Fargo00:51:44Great. This is Chen Xu, sound for Mohit Bansal. Thank you for taking our question. I just wanna double-click on the BMN 333 a little bit. I think you guys discussed that BMN 333 targeting, you know, improvement in achondroplasia. Just wondering with a competitor that is also advancing their weekly CNP analog together with the growth hormone and potentially reporting a higher AGV. Just how should we think about BioMarin's view of this, you know, evolving treatment landscape and the role that 333 could potentially play in over time? Thank you. Greg FribergEVP, Chief Research and Development Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:52:24Thanks for the question. This is Greg Freiberg again. It is true, I think the data in combination with growth hormone, of which we've seen about 12 months of data, does show in, you know, in the early studies that there is potentially additional growth to be had by adding in a second agent. I want to caution you that it is early days for the combination. Growth hormone has been around for quite a while, in achondroplasia, it's only approved in one market that I'm aware of, that's Japan. The reason for that is that, growth that can be stimulated with growth hormone, ultimately has not historically resulted in increases in final adult height. It's growth that gets uncorked, but at the expense of potentially closing the growth plates earlier. That remains an open question. Greg FribergEVP, Chief Research and Development Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:53:16I think we do need to see data two, three years or more, not only to see the safety, of course. Growth hormone, while it has a manageable safety profile, does have its own set of challenges that need to be monitored by a physician. We need to see whether or not those gains are long-standing. I want to reassure you that this is something that we're watching very closely. If there are opportunities and levers that can help CNP do its job better, so to speak, we will evaluate those at the right time and place. We don't feel that that is the correct time right now, and we're certainly interested in seeing additional data before the paradigm shifts. This is consistent with what we've heard from many of our stakeholders as well. Operator00:54:02We'll move to our next question from Joseph Schwartz at Leerink Partners. Joseph SchwartzDirector, Biotechnology at Leerink Partners00:54:08Great. Thanks very much. I was wondering if we could get some more perspective on your guidance raise for the enzyme therapies business. We see it increased by $500 million, and we estimate that Amicus has generated around $450 million in revenue for Galafold and Pombiliti in the comparable 8 months last year. That implies low double-digit growth, around 11%, I think. I heard you reference a high double-digit percent growth, Brian. I'm just wondering if you can help us reconcile that difference. Thanks Brian MuellerEVP and CFO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:54:52Thanks, Joe. Appreciate the question and your math there. I'd probably attribute the reconciliation difference that you're trying to get at with two elements. One, by doing a pro rata eight months of 2025, you know, there's, you know, some missing variables there and a lack of precision that we couldn't do a strict apples to apples comparison. Secondly, you know, on a full year basis, again, I pointed to that strong performance for the first four months of the year for both Galafold and Pombiliti and Opfolda. You know, again, not reported. This is internal management data. Brian MuellerEVP and CFO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:55:42We're not disclosing it because it didn't go through the usual, you know, external reporting process like a regular quarter does. We thought it was important to add color to that full year. I'd say it's more important, and this goes to our own business as well when we think about some of these quarterly timing dynamics. I think it's most important to compare the full year annual cycle year-over-year, and that's where when we piece together the range that's implied today over that, you know, full year $634 million that Amicus reported for 2025, we have a range of high teens to low 20s. I'd encourage you to anchor to that rather than trying to calculate some intra-quarter math. Operator00:56:31We'll move next to Jason Gerberry at Bank of America. Jason GerberryManaging Director at Bank of America00:56:36Hey, guys. Thanks for taking my questions. Alex, just to follow up on the ITC question, I'm trying to just get my head around, do you have any knowledge of the Ascendis ability to do manufacturing workaround? Just help us think through scenarios if you get a positive ruling, like could a decision be stayed pending any sort of appeals? Then just as a follow-up, just on Palm Op, I believe, you've inherited the asset basically launched into 15 country markets and I think the goal is to get it into 80 country markets. How should we think about the phasing of that now that you've got the asset either 2026 or 2027? Thanks. Alexander HardyPresident and CEO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:57:19Thanks very much for the questions. I'm, unfortunately, I'm not going to give any further details of the ITC, the potential, you know, scenarios around it. I hope you can understand that we don't want to get into too many specifics, especially whilst the case is very much pending. I'll hand it over now to Cristin for the second part. Cristin HubbardEVP and Chief Commercial Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:57:43Yeah. Thank you very much for the question around Pombiliti and Opfolda. You're absolutely correct in that there are currently we are reimbursed in 15 countries. What we've been doing, you know, before the transaction was closed, we've been doing significant and deep dive, you know, discovery sessions, really looking at the business in each market for both Galafold and Pombiliti and Opfolda, really understanding what the dynamics are therein. Importantly looking at, as you've mentioned, our 80-country footprint and saying, "Where would the potential and the opportunity be?" We're identifying opportunities for both Galafold as well as Pombiliti and Opfolda. Given that Pombiliti and Opfolda is much earlier in its launch trajectory, you can imagine that there'll be a larger number of countries to look at therein. Cristin HubbardEVP and Chief Commercial Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:58:26It's important to note that we're not necessarily going to put it into our entire 80-country footprint, but importantly look at where we believe the potential opportunities are and then have a cadence to that that we'll share more of in the Q2 call. Operator00:58:42That concludes the Q&A session. I will now turn the conference back over to BioMarin CEO, Alexander Hardy, for closing remarks. Alexander HardyPresident and CEO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:58:51Thank you, operator, and thank you all for joining us today. This quarter, as you can tell, marks a really important inflection point for BioMarin. With the recent close of the Amicus acquisition expanding our commercial re-reach, strengthening our 2026 revenue growth outlook to 20% and enhancing our ability to serve more patients globally. We're encouraged by the robust patient demand observed across our portfolio. In enzyme therapies, we anticipate that the momentum from the Palynziq launch in adolescence will continue to build. With Voxzogo, a consistent rise in new patient initiations, more than 20% year-over-year in Q1, especially among younger children, demonstrates confidence in its long-term safety and efficacy and highlights the importance of starting treatment as early as possible. Alexander HardyPresident and CEO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:59:45With the integration of Amicus now well underway, several near-term catalysts ahead, pipeline readouts, we are focused on translating this momentum into accelerated growth, broader patient impact, meaningful value creation. We appreciate your continued support and look forward to updating you next quarter. Thank you. Operator01:00:09This concludes today's Conference Call. Thank you for your participation. You may now disconnect.Read moreParticipantsExecutivesAlexander HardyPresident and CEOBrian MuellerEVP and CFOCristin HubbardEVP and Chief Commercial OfficerGreg FribergEVP, Chief Research and Development OfficerTraci McCartyGroup VP of Investor RelationsAnalystsChen XuAnalyst at Wells FargoChris RaymondManaging Director, Equity Research at Raymond JamesJason GerberryManaging Director at Bank of AmericaJoseph SchwartzDirector, Biotechnology at Leerink PartnersPaul MatteisManaging Director and Head of Biotech Research at StifelPhil NadeauManaging Director and Senior Research Analyst at TD CowenAnalyst at BarclaysAnalyst at Evercore ISIAnalyst at Goldman SachsAnalyst at JPMorganAnalyst at Morgan StanleyPowered by Earnings DocumentsSlide DeckPress Release(8-K)Quarterly report(10-Q) BioMarin Pharmaceutical Earnings HeadlinesBioMarin Pharmaceutical (NASDAQ:BMRN) Price Target Lowered to $111.00 at Canaccord Genuity GroupMay 23 at 3:51 AM | americanbankingnews.comAnalysts Offer Insights on Healthcare Companies: Vaxcyte (PCVX) and BioMarin Pharmaceutical (BMRN)May 22 at 10:14 PM | theglobeandmail.comOne page of the SpaceX S-1 will move this stock overnightWhen SpaceX files its S-1 in June, the SEC will require full disclosure of operating expenses - including power consumption for 1 million GPUs, a cost that rivals entire cities.

PresentationSkip to Participants Operator00:00:00At this time, I would like to turn the conference over to Traci McCarty, Head of Investor Relations. Please go ahead. Traci McCartyGroup VP of Investor Relations at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:00:07Thank you, operator. To remind you, this non-confidential presentation contains forward-looking statements about the business prospects of BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc., including expectations regarding BioMarin's financial performance, commercial products, and potential future products in different areas of therapeutic research and development. Results may differ materially depending on the progress of BioMarin's product programs, actions of regulatory authorities, availability of capital, future actions in the pharmaceutical market, and developments by competitors, and those factors detailed in BioMarin's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission such as 10-Q, 10-K, and 8-K reports. In addition, we will use non-GAAP financial measures as defined in Regulation G during the call today. Traci McCartyGroup VP of Investor Relations at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:00:51These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation from, as substitutes for, or superior to financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and you can find the related reconciliations to U.S. GAAP in the earnings release and earnings presentation, both of which are now available in the investor relations section of our website. Please note that our commentary on today's call will focus on non-GAAP financial measures, unless otherwise indicated. Beginning on slide three in introducing BioMarin's management team, joining today's call are Alexander Hardy, Chief Executive Officer, Brian Mueller, Chief Financial Officer, Cristin Hubbard, Chief Commercial Officer, and Greg Freiberg, Chief R&D Officer. I will now turn the call over to BioMarin's President and CEO, Alexander Hardy. Alexander HardyPresident and CEO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:01:39Thank you, Traci, and thank you all for joining us today. I am so pleased that we completed the Amicus acquisition last week, starting a new and exciting chapter for BioMarin with the addition of two innovative therapies, Galafold for Fabry disease and Pombiliti and Opfolda for Pompe disease. The acquisition accelerates our anticipated year-over-year 2026 revenue growth to 20% at the midpoint of today's updated guidance. This strengthening trajectory is just the beginning of BioMarin's enhanced longer-term financial outlook, supported by our larger, more diversified commercial portfolio. Since announcing our plans to acquire Amicus late last year, we have been preparing for rapid integration beginning on day one, with the goal of increasing the peak potential of these newly added products. Alexander HardyPresident and CEO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:02:36Following the recent close of the transaction, we initiated our targeted integration plan focused on leveraging BioMarin's operating scale and capabilities to drive diagnosis and treatment rates for patients with Fabry disease and late-onset Pompe disease. Next quarter, we plan to share this roadmap, as well as more detail on BioMarin's growth acceleration with the addition of Galafold and Pombiliti and Opfolda to our commercial portfolio and DMX-200 for FSGS in phase III to our late-stage pipeline. Turning briefly to first quarter results and outlook for the remainder of this year and starting with enzyme therapies, I am pleased with the strong interest we are seeing from the PKU community following the recent Palynziq adolescent label expansion in the U.S., which Cristin will discuss in more detail. Alexander HardyPresident and CEO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:03:32We expect enzyme therapies will deliver robust growth in 2026, further supported by the addition of Galafold and Pombiliti and Opfolda to the portfolio. Moving to our skeletal conditions business unit, we saw strong patient demand for Voxzogo, with new patient starts increasing across all regions in the 1st quarter. In the U.S., the majority of new patient starts were from the under age two cohort. These results reflect our focused investments in increasing adoption of Voxzogo, particularly among younger patients. Building on our leadership in achondroplasia, we are pleased to have submitted the sNDA for approval of Voxzogo. We expect to hear the timing of our review in the coming months. I want to congratulate our regulatory team for the outstanding work that went into this comprehensive submission package. Alexander HardyPresident and CEO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:04:29We also look forward to pivotal results for Voxzogo in hypochondroplasia and BMN 401 for ENPP1 deficiency both later in Q2. In summary, we expect 2026 to be a momentous year for BioMarin. Our immediate focus remains on the seamless and rapid integration of Amicus to accelerate our growth trajectory this year and beyond and pursuing regulatory next steps following the two upcoming pivotal data readouts. The addition of Galafold and Pombiliti and Opfolda to BioMarin's portfolio of innovative medicines provides an opportunity to reach more patients around the world, creating significant value for all of our stakeholders in the near and longer term. As we enter this next chapter, I would like to express my appreciation to the employees of both BioMarin and Amicus, whose dedication forms the foundation of our shared mission to serve patients. Alexander HardyPresident and CEO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:05:34Thank you for your attention. I will now turn the call over to Brian to provide additional financial updates. Brian? Brian MuellerEVP and CFO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:05:41Thank you, Alexander. Please refer to today's press release for detailed first quarter 2026 results, including reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures. All first quarter results will be available in our upcoming Form 10-Q, which we expect to file in the coming days. Brian MuellerEVP and CFO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:06:01Moving to slide seven. Total revenues in the first quarter were $766 million and increased year-over-year, supported by increased patient demand across both enzyme therapies and Voxzogo. As expected, those organic growth drivers were partly offset by order timing dynamics as well as lower revenue from Roctavian, Kuvan, and royalties. Enzyme therapies revenue increased 6% year-over-year, led by growth in Vimizim, Naglazyme, and Brineura. Palynziq's first quarter revenues were impacted by U.S. order timing, which resulted in elevated stocking levels in the fourth quarter of 2025, as discussed last quarter. We expect this stocking dynamic to normalize and anticipate year-over-year revenue growth for Palynziq in full year 2026 as growth in new patient starts in the under 18-year-old population gains momentum and patients continue to titrate to their maintenance dose. Brian MuellerEVP and CFO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:07:09Voxzogo revenue was supported by new patient starts across all regions and in line with the expectations that we shared on our prior quarter earnings call. Looking ahead, due to anticipated order timing and consistent with 2025, we expect Voxzogo revenue to be higher in the second half of 2026 compared to the first half. Cristin will provide more color on commercial dynamics in a moment. Turning now to slide 8. Cost of sales increased year-over-year in the first quarter, primarily due to a $31 million charge associated with an unsuccessful process qualification campaign to extend Naglazyme manufacturing capabilities. Importantly, this did not impact commercial supply. While this event decreased margins and earnings per share in the first quarter, we expect this charge to be offset in full year 2026 non-GAAP diluted earnings per share guidance. Brian MuellerEVP and CFO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:08:11Q1 non-GAAP R&D expense increased year-over-year, primarily due to spend to support BMN 401, our phase III clinical program acquired in the enzyme transaction in the second half of 2025. Development activities for Voxzogo for hypochondroplasia, BMN 333 for achondroplasia, and BMN 351 for Duchenne muscular dystrophy also contributed to higher year-over-year R&D expense. Non-GAAP SG&A expense also increased, partially driven by investments to support commercial expansion across enzyme therapies and Voxzogo, and partially driven by pre-close costs associated with the Amicus acquisition. First quarter non-GAAP diluted earnings per share was $0.76 and was significantly impacted by the drivers of increased operating expense that I just mentioned, as well as the impact of Q1 revenue, which we believe will be our lowest quarter of the year. Brian MuellerEVP and CFO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:09:16The impact of the cost of sales charge and pre-close costs associated with the Amicus acquisition resulted in a $0.20 earnings per share impact to our non-GAAP earnings per share result. Looking past those elements helps to measure BioMarin's underlying business performance, as well as how this Q1 result fits into our full-year earnings per share guidance, which remains unchanged for the historical BioMarin business before layering on the Amicus business. Moving to slide nine and our updated full-year 2026 guidance, which now includes the Amicus financial outlook starting last week. We are raising enzyme therapies revenue guidance to a range of $2.725 billion-$2.775 billion for the full-year 2026, inclusive of meaningful contributions from Galafold and Pombiliti and Opfolda, resulting in approximately 30% growth at the midpoint. Brian MuellerEVP and CFO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:10:22Adding these high-growth products to our enzyme therapies portfolio increases our full-year total revenue guidance to a range of $3.825 billion to $3.925 billion, with the midpoint representing approximately 20% year-over-year growth in 2026. For Voxzogo, we are maintaining our revenue guidance of $975 million to $1.025 billion, which continues to reflect high single-digit growth at the midpoint. On non-GAAP diluted earnings per share guidance, we are updating the guidance range to $4.85 to $5.05. As previously communicated, the acquisition of Amicus will be slightly diluted for the full year 2026. We continue to expect the acquisition to be accretive to non-GAAP diluted earnings per share in the first 12 months after close and substantially accretive beginning in 2027. Brian MuellerEVP and CFO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:11:27The Amicus P&L will be incorporated into BioMarin's financial results as of last week's closing of the transaction. In 2026, we expect to include the base Amicus operating expenses less initial cost synergies anticipated in 2026. As Alexander touched on, now that the transaction is closed, we have engaged more deeply with the Amicus business and plan to share our outlook on both commercial revenues and cost synergies on our next quarterly earnings call. To give some perspective on timing of the updated guidance. We expect order timing for the historical BioMarin products and 2 full quarters of Galafold and Pombiliti and Opfolda revenues in the second half of the year to drive significantly higher revenues as compared to the first half of 2026. To provide context, we expect more than 55% of total 2026 revenues to be recognized in the second half of the year. Brian MuellerEVP and CFO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:12:32Likewise, on the expected timing of our profitability, we expect Q2 non-GAAP diluted earnings per share to be just modestly higher than Q1, partially due to pre-close Amicus costs incurred in April, plus a higher amount of the 2026 Amicus dilution being weighted to the second quarter. Further, the revenue timing weighted to the second half of the year results in most of our expected profitability occurring in Q3 and Q4. These earnings timing dynamics drive approximately two-thirds of our 2026 earnings per share expected in the second half of the year. Briefly, on evolving geopolitical uncertainties, we are watching the situation in the Middle East very closely and note that today's guidance reflects an allowance for a modest amount of disruption in that region in 2026. Brian MuellerEVP and CFO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:13:29Looking ahead, we look forward to sharing with you our expanded financial outlook, enhanced by the addition of Galafold and Pombiliti and Opfolda, setting the stage for accelerated near and midterm growth. Thank you for your attention. I will now turn it over to Cristin for a commercial update. Cristin? Cristin HubbardEVP and Chief Commercial Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:13:50Thank you, Brian. We were encouraged by the commercial execution across our portfolio so far this year, with strong patient demand across enzyme therapies and Voxzogo. We look forward to providing a more detailed commercial update on our plans to maximize the potential of both Galafold and Pombiliti and Opfolda next quarter. Our initial priorities therein are focused on driving diagnosis in Fabry and switch in Pompe. This will support increased penetration in countries where Galafold and Pombiliti and Opfolda are marketed, while we can currently work on geographic expansion plans for both products. We look forward to updating you on our Q2 call. Now, moving to Slide 11. I'll begin with an update on first quarter 2026 performance, starting with enzyme therapies. As Brian outlined, enzyme therapies delivered 6% year-over-year growth in Q1, led by Vimizim, Naglazyme, and Brineura. Cristin HubbardEVP and Chief Commercial Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:14:45Across the enzyme therapies portfolio, we continue to see strong patient demand and adherence. Turning to Palynziq. In the first quarter, we continued to expand the underlying patient base, and physician engagement remained strong. Importantly, following the FDA approval of Palynziq's age label expansion to those 12 years and older in February, we have successfully launched in this age group and are seeing encouraging early momentum. We have observed broad interest and engagement from caregivers and healthcare providers treating adolescents during this critical stage of their development. Since approval, we have observed meaningful enrollments and new patient starts in people under the age of 18. From a prescribing standpoint, adolescent uptake is being driven by both physicians with significant experience prescribing Palynziq, as well as by clinicians who are newer to the therapy. Cristin HubbardEVP and Chief Commercial Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:15:35Recall that it can take a patient many months to titrate up to their maintenance dose of Palynziq. We would expect to see the results of positive early prescribing over the coming quarters. Palynziq continues to stand alone in its ability to enable people with PKU to reach physiologic Phe levels while reducing dietary restrictions, regardless of severity. With the U.S. adolescent launch underway and European approval expected later this year, we are excited about the impact Palynziq can have for additional families over time. Turning now to Voxzogo on Slide 12. As discussed, first quarter results reflected expected order timing dynamics following a strong Q-four, particularly in international markets. Importantly, we observed strong growth in patient additions globally, with the number of children being treated with Voxzogo increasing by more than 20% year-over-year. Cristin HubbardEVP and Chief Commercial Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:16:27With the competitor having recently entered the U.S. market, our focus has remained on executing our strategy. We continue to see strong momentum. During the first quarter, Voxzogo progress continued, supported by ongoing patient additions across all regions and ages, strong adherence and persistence globally, and continued expansion of the prescriber base. Our teams are focused on driving new patient starts across all ages, with an emphasis on children under two years of age, where international consensus guidelines for achondroplasia recommend early diagnosis and treatment with Voxzogo as soon as possible. In the United States, we are encouraged to see that our efforts educating and engaging with caregivers and HCPs are having an impact in the under two year-old age segment. In Q1, over half of new patient starts were from children under age two, a greater proportion compared to last quarter. Cristin HubbardEVP and Chief Commercial Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:17:21Additionally, we have seen an approximate 10% decrease in the average age of children initiating Voxzogo treatment in the under two segment, narrowing the window between diagnosis and treatment starts. Internationally, building on our global expansion into 55 countries to date, our strategy remains focused on reaching more patients in regions that have further opportunity and treating infants in countries that already have high penetration rates. With our sNDA for full approval now submitted, we believe the depth and durability of Voxzogo's clinical evidence can be further reinforced, strengthening its role in treatment decisions for infants and children with achondroplasia. At the same time, we're making progress in preparations for potential expansion of Voxzogo into hypochondroplasia. As we get closer to the phase III data and potential launch, our pre-commercialization activities continue to accelerate. Our initiatives in the U.S. are making a difference. Cristin HubbardEVP and Chief Commercial Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:18:18More people are being diagnosed at a younger age, diagnosis rates are rising, and more doctors are requesting diagnostic tests. We look forward to the phase III top-line results in the 2nd quarter of 2026, and submitting to global health authorities in the 2nd half of this year, with potential approval in 2027. In summary, we are pleased with the strong patient demand observed across the portfolio with continued momentum in our core business units and a compelling set of near-term opportunities to accelerate growth. With that, I'll turn it over to Greg for an R&D update. Greg? Greg FribergEVP, Chief Research and Development Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:18:54Thank you, Cristin. As expected, 2026 is shaping up to be an active year for R&D, and we're looking forward to delivering multiple meaningful milestones. Moving to slide 14, we've built a comprehensive Voxzogo evidence package that goes well beyond describing annualized growth velocity, highlighting long-term durability and clinically meaningful health outcomes for children with achondroplasia. Recently, at the Pediatric Endocrine Society annual meeting, we shared data from three ongoing long-term extension studies that illustrate these sustained benefits of Voxzogo over time. Consistent and cumulative improvements in arm span Z-scores were observed across all age groups over the six to eight years of follow-up, as depicted on the left of slide 14. On the right side, you again see consistent and cumulative gains in height and height Z-scores with durable results out to eight years of follow-up. Greg FribergEVP, Chief Research and Development Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:19:52In addition to anatomic measures of benefit, we also presented data demonstrating Voxzogo's favorable impacts on quality-of-life measures. Importantly, these sustained efficacy findings are supported by a robust safety database now comprising more than 10,000 patient years of exposure, reinforcing Voxzogo's well-established long-term safety profile. Taken together, this extensive body of evidence reinforces Voxzogo's differentiated profile with no other achondroplasia therapy supported by this level of long-term data with regard to safety, efficacy, and functional outcomes. Importantly, this data spans the full pediatric age population, and Voxzogo remains the only therapy approved for use immediately from infancy. This allows for early treatment initiation and enables a long window to positively influence endochondral bone formation and all the potential downstream benefits to health outcomes. Greg FribergEVP, Chief Research and Development Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:20:52Together, these data formed a strong foundation for our full approval submission intended to fulfill our post-marketing requirement, which was submitted to the FDA in April and will afford us the opportunity to share direct evidence of Voxzogo's long-term value with the community via peer-reviewed publications and presentations later this year. Now moving to slide 15, the remainder of 2026 includes several anticipated pipeline updates, including two particularly important pivotal data readouts expected in the second quarter. Starting with hypochondroplasia, we believe the healthcare provider community is looking forward to a targeted therapy that addresses this skeletal condition, and we are confident in the scientific rationale for Voxzogo in this indication. That confidence is grounded in the strong proof of concept and durability demonstrated in Dr. Dauber's investigator-sponsored study and in the rapid enrollment we observed in our own phase III pivotal trial. Greg FribergEVP, Chief Research and Development Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:21:50We look forward to sharing these phase III top-line results in the second quarter. Enrollment is progressing very well in our phase II study in children under the age of three, highlighting early interest in Voxzogo as a potential option from infancy in hypochondroplasia. We also expect phase III top-line data for BMN 401 in the second quarter of this year. As a reminder, ENPP1 deficiency is a rare, serious, and progressive genetic condition affecting vascular, skeletal, and soft tissue systems. BMN 401 has the potential to be the first disease-targeted therapy for ENPP1 deficiency. The ENERGY-3 study in children aged 1 to 12 includes two co-primary endpoints. The first is change from baseline and plasma measures of inorganic pyrophosphate through week 52. The second is change in the RGIC, or Radiographic Global Impression of Change, after 52 weeks of treatment, assessing improvement in skeletal health. Greg FribergEVP, Chief Research and Development Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:22:52Clinical experience with BMN 401 in older patients has shown that normalization of pyrophosphate is accompanied by improvements in bone mineral biomarkers, functional performance, and patient and physician-reported outcomes. In addition to these pivotal readouts, I'd also like to highlight progress with BMN 333, our long-acting CNP therapy. We are pleased to share that enrollment is underway in our global registrational enabling phase II/III study. We are rapidly progressing this program with the goal of establishing BMN 333 as a potential next-generation standard of care for achondroplasia and potentially for other skeletal conditions. Before closing, I'd also like to touch on BMN 351 for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. At the Muscular Dystrophy Association Congress in March, we presented initial data demonstrating dose-dependent increases in dystrophin at week 25 in both the 6 and 9 milligram per kilogram dose cohorts. Greg FribergEVP, Chief Research and Development Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:23:51These findings were accompanied by notable decreases in creatine kinase, a biomarker of muscle injury, and the prevention of functional decline as measured by the North Star Ambulatory Assessment and the six-minute walk test when compared to historically matched controls. We are encouraged by both the dystrophin expression levels and the functional improvements observed in our development program. Enrollment in the 12 milligram per kilogram cohort is ongoing, and we look forward to providing an additional update by year-end as this program continues to advance. Finally, we would like to thank the patients, families, and caregivers whose commitment continues to make this progress possible. Thank you for your attention today. We will now open the call to your questions. Operator? Operator00:24:37Thank you. We will now begin the question and answer session. If you have dialed in and would like to ask a question, please press star one on your telephone keypad to raise your hand and join the queue. If you would like to withdraw your question, simply Press star one again. We'll go first to Sean Layman at Morgan Stanley. Analyst at Morgan Stanley00:24:58Hi, this is Mike on for Sean. Thank you for taking our questions. I guess wanted to touch on two things. First, looking at the recent data at the Pediatric Endocrine Society, can you help to contextualize the benefits you saw on bone mineral content and hypochondroplasia, and how does that maybe inform or influence your expectations heading into the top line? Greg FribergEVP, Chief Research and Development Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:25:21Yep. Thanks for the question, Mike. This is Greg Freiberg. Yeah, in addition to measuring growth velocity across both Achondroplasia historically and Hypochondroplasia, of course, we're measuring a variety of factors of health and well-being, including bone biology and bone health. The DEXA scans that were presented in that cumulative data suggests again that in addition to growing bone length and stimulating endochondral bone formation, that yes, that bone is of healthy and, you know, a strength that we would like to see, and again, reiterates what we've seen in the other FGFR3 related mutation condition of Achondroplasia as well. Going into the card flip for the phase III study, we're certainly excited to see that data. Greg FribergEVP, Chief Research and Development Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:26:15The event is going to occur before the midway point of this year. We mentioned that it's in the second quarter. We're eager to see those results. Again, I think the data at Pediatric Endocrine Society highlights the fact that hypochondroplasia, while a unique and individual indication, as compared to achondroplasia, the related biology suggests again that the hypothesis is a strong one. We've seen in Andrew Dauber's data from Children's National Hospital, again, we've seen the kind of growth that certainly would meet the criteria for a statistically significant improvement that our study is developed to measure. With regard to that safety profile, we're not anticipating any unexpected events there as well. Fingers crossed. We'll be updating you all when that data is available. Analyst at Morgan Stanley00:27:08Thank you so much. That's really helpful. Just maybe circling back onto the intro comments. Regarding the integration of Amicus, you alluded maybe there's like a roadmap for future growth acceleration. We were just wondering if you could help to comment, I mean specifically for Pombiliti or Opfolda, what levers do you see for driving increased switch rates in that market? Thank you. Cristin HubbardEVP and Chief Commercial Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:27:30Yeah. Thank you so much. This is Cristin Hubbard here. Just having closed last week, I can say we are really, really excited about the commercial potential of both of these products, both being high-growth products to add to our portfolio. As we've mentioned before, but I'll expand a little bit, for Galafold specifically, we really do think that the biggest growth lever is in and around diagnosis. We know that a large proportion of the amenable patient population remains undiagnosed, and driving diagnosis is exactly where, you know, Amicus has really started to build momentum. We feel that using BioMarin's capability in this regard, we can really continue to drive that forward. Cristin HubbardEVP and Chief Commercial Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:28:09On the Pombiliti and Opfolda side, that's more about a switching opportunity, we really do think that there's gonna be a sizable opportunity here to build over the next few years as patients on their existing therapies begin to progress. We're really working on initiatives that again, Amicus has started, and that is around kind of starting new therapy, looking at patients that have identified their own progression and understanding what progression looks like. That's an area that we're really focused on, not to mention the continued generation of evidence to show the benefits of a switch. Again, these are areas that we feel confident in our capability at BioMarin and are very excited about the future trajectory. We'll share more on that on our Q2 call. Operator00:28:56We'll move to our next question from Salveen Richter at Goldman Sachs. Analyst at Goldman Sachs00:29:01Thanks for taking our question. This is Tommy on for Salveen. Just a quick one on Voxzogo. Wondering if you've seen any early signals of different behavior from competitor entry, whether it be switching or in new patient adds. Thank you. Cristin HubbardEVP and Chief Commercial Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:29:17Yeah. Thank you for the question. This is Cristin again. As you heard in our prepared comments, our demand in the first quarter really does remain strong. Our enrollments, in fact, in Q1, exceeded that in the average of second half last year, and that trend continued into April. As we see it now, we're really excited. As you know, we're very much focused on the 0 to 2 population based on the consensus guidelines, and we're seeing real momentum there. Not only were our new patient starts weighted and more than half of them being in that 0 to 2 population in the first quarter, but we're also seeing a reduction in the time we have from diagnosis to treatment in that population. That is reduced by 10% already. Cristin HubbardEVP and Chief Commercial Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:30:03We know that that real focus therein is working. In addition, we're focused on the patients that are already on treatment and making sure that, you know, those patients for whom they're doing well on treatment, we wanna make sure that they understand the totality of the evidence that exists for Voxzogo and continue to have a positive experience in terms of the benefit. We're very pleased with how Q1 went and look forward to continuing on that trajectory. Operator00:30:34We'll go next to Paul Matteis at Stifel. Paul MatteisManaging Director and Head of Biotech Research at Stifel00:30:40Great. Thanks so much for taking my question. Just kind of previewing your update next quarter as it relates to the Amicus integration. I was wondering if you could set the stage for us on just what you might be providing as it relates to the duration of the revenue outlook. Would you talk about peak sales at all, or update those views or anything else? Secondarily, anything you can do on setting the stage on our expectations related to accretion, cost synergies, and again, the duration of profitability outlook as well. Thank you. Brian MuellerEVP and CFO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:31:12Hi, Paul. Thanks. Appreciate the question. Yeah, we wanted to highlight today having, you know, just closed the transaction a week ago. You know, brief update on the integration to date, which a weekend is going well and you saw the update of our revenue guidance today, adding our expected range of the 8 months of Amicus revenues, resulting in a $500 million midpoint and the updated guidance, which is 20% year-over-year. We also wanted to set the stage for the Q2 update. From the transaction announcement, we've discussed how the strategic fit between these two businesses was very strong. Brian MuellerEVP and CFO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:32:03That because of the both global and commercial and medical capabilities that BioMarin built over time in our existing portfolio, that these two medicines should truly have more potential within BioMarin. That was a key rationale underlying the transaction, and we've been making plans up to this point of closing. Now that we've closed, we're just digging in and engaging more deeply with the Amicus business. That's why we're gonna wait until Q2 to give this additional update. It will include a number of details and metrics about the long-term potential, including our views on peak revenue. Brian MuellerEVP and CFO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:32:49Just a reminder, based on our due diligence at the time of announcement of the transaction, we reiterated what Amicus had shared with respect to peak revenue potential of roughly $1 billion each for Galafold and Pombiliti and Opfolda. But as we developed the long-term business plans and strategies to expand both of these medicines, we think that has some potential to be higher. That's what we'll share. It'll be important for us to share some of the key metrics and, you know, tactics in terms of how we expect to achieve that long-term potential. Stay tuned, and we'll look forward to sharing more in Q2. By the way, that will include some of the other financial elements as well, such as synergies, long-term profitability, accretion, et cetera. Brian MuellerEVP and CFO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:33:41I will share that for today, we are reaffirming our previous expectation that while, as you saw in the EPS guide today, the Amicus acquisition is slightly dilutive to calendar 26, but accretive for the first 12 months following closing and then substantially accretive for beginning full year 27. We'll look forward to sharing more, but we're off to a strong start. Operator00:34:11We'll move next to Ellie Merle at Barclays. Analyst at Barclays00:34:16Hi, this is Jasmine on for Ellie. Thank you so much for taking our question. Just for Voxzogo and hypochondroplasia, what's the latest on what you're thinking will be good data and what you're looking to see on AGV? How are you thinking about the contribution to Voxzogo revenues from hypochondroplasia next year? What do you think the cadence of uptake will be in this population? Can you talk a little bit about your commercial preparations? Thanks. Greg FribergEVP, Chief Research and Development Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:34:47Thanks, Jasmine. This is Greg Freiberg. Maybe I'll take the first part and then hand it off to my colleague. With regard to the CANOPY-HCH-3 study we're turning over, of course, we'll be looking at the data in the second quarter of this year. Absolutely looking forward to that. Of course, the success is a statistically significant improvement in growth as compared to the control arm. You know, in this world, of course, we're measuring a variety of other measures. We're looking of course at other anthropomorphic measures, as well as of course the safety profile and really any statistically positive improvement in growth. We think that that's a win for these patients. Greg FribergEVP, Chief Research and Development Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:35:28I'll just add that, you know, we've seen pretty dramatic, I think accelerations of recruitment, both for the older children as well as, I mentioned in the pre-prepared remarks, the infants, on our hypochondroplasia study, really suggesting that this is a market that's hungry for a disease-targeted therapy. Again, the biology is significantly similar to that of achondroplasia with regard to the mutation that drives this condition. From that standpoint, and of course built upon the data that Andrew Dauber has seen, we're quite excited to see what those end results will be. I think there was a question also about the marketplace, and I'm gonna hand that one off to Cristin. Cristin HubbardEVP and Chief Commercial Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:36:13Yeah. Thank you. Overall, our goal of course is to continue the growth of Voxzogo into the midterm, and hypochondroplasia provides an important component of that. Really where we're focused today on our pre-launch activities is in and around diagnosis. We have shared before that the total addressable patient population globally is at 14,000, and that assumes that we can continue to drive diagnosis and awareness of this condition. Our goal at this point in time prior to launch really is around increasing the number of hypochondroplasia patients that have been identified, that we're getting physicians to understand the genetic testing and make sure that they're putting in orders for that. Really, the idea being that patients get diagnosed at a much earlier age. Cristin HubbardEVP and Chief Commercial Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:37:02Our goal today is to improve upon that and make sure that we have identified patients at the time of a potential launch. Greg FribergEVP, Chief Research and Development Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:37:09Jasmine, if I could just add one other factor from the medical affairs standpoint. We're obviously actively working in the community even prior to seeing our data to really try to accelerate the number of patients that are diagnosed with this condition. You know, there's probably three prongs to that. Of course, getting patients to be able to be referred sooner to be evaluated. Of course, more testing, as well as we're doing work on the genetic side to reclassify so-called VUSs, variants of uncertain significance. In that world, we're anticipating again that there will be patients available and ready for this therapy should it become available. Cristin HubbardEVP and Chief Commercial Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:37:47Just to throw out a few components if I could quickly. On the success we've had already, when looking at the diagnosis program that we're running to date and these kind of non-promotional pre-launch activities, we're already seeing a 90% increase in the number of hypochondroplasia patients that we've identified, as well as a 70% reduction in the age. Those are precisely the types of numbers that we're driving for and wanna continue throughout our launch period. Operator00:38:16Excuse me. We'll move to our next question from Cory Kasimov at Evercore. Analyst at Evercore ISI00:38:21Hi, this is Eddie on for Corey. Thanks for taking the question. I had a question on the guidance increase. The $500 million from midpoint increase in guidance, can you frame that? You know, the contribution from Galafold power up, is that conservative relative to the $600 million revenue they generated in FY 2025? What are the key assumptions for, you know, adding these two assets into the guidance? Brian MuellerEVP and CFO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:38:58Hi, Eddie. This is Brian. Thanks a lot for the question. I appreciate the opportunity to provide a bit more color on this important element of today's update. Yeah, I'll frame it up for you. First of all, you know, the $500 million represents a midpoint of a range that fits within the range of our existing enzyme therapies guide for 2026, I'll speak to the midpoint. From a timing standpoint, just a reminder that with the transaction closing last week, that $500 million midpoint represents mostly the eight months remaining from May to December for this year. I will share in terms of, you know, your question around conservatism, I would say it's neither conservative nor aggressive. We think it's realistic. Brian MuellerEVP and CFO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:39:50I'll share that, you know, we've analyzed the unreported period of Amicus product revenue from January through April. When we looked at that versus consensus, January through April performance, while not reported, was ahead of consensus. You know, both Galafold and Pombiliti together are off to a strong start in 2026. With that being said, again, it's, this is the transaction closed just a week ago. We'll come back next quarter with additional color, including the long-term potential. I'll also share that, since you commented on the $600 million reported for 2025, the range that's underlying today's update, from an Amicus, you know, organic year-over-year growth rate standpoint ranges from the high teens to the low 20s. Brian MuellerEVP and CFO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:40:53We think it's a really healthy growth, and we're excited that these assets are now part of our portfolio. Again, you see this 30% increase year-over-year as a result of lay-layering this onto the BioMarin enzyme therapies and total revenue 20% at the midpoint. We're feeling good about it, and we'll share more going forward. Analyst at Evercore ISI00:41:18Thank you. Operator00:41:18We'll go next to Jessica Fye at JPMorgan. Analyst at JPMorgan00:41:22Hi, this is Jose on for Jess. Thanks for taking our questions. How should we think about the adoption of Voxzogo in hypochondroplasia relative to achondroplasia? What do you see as the similarities and differences between these markets? Second, can you help us bridge the disconnect between the 20% year-over-year patient growth in 1Q versus a 3% revenue growth? Is it entirely explained by larger orders in the fourth quarter last year? Thank you. Cristin HubbardEVP and Chief Commercial Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:41:52Yeah. I'll address the first part of the question in terms of how we see it, in terms of uptake going in. I think we can consider it being similar to that of achondroplasia. I think, as I'd mentioned kinda earlier, what is most important to us is ensuring that the amount of disease awareness, the urgency to treat, and the diagnosis are really what we're focused on because we believe this is what accelerates that adoption curve. Our intention has been to drive as much of that so that we have patients identified at the time of our potential launch in the beginning of 2027. Importantly, that we continue on with that momentum because that ultimately is going to be what drives the shape of the adoption curve. Greg FribergEVP, Chief Research and Development Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:42:35Cristin, from a medical standpoint, if I could just comment. Hypochondroplasia, children are not born with the same growth deficit that the achondroplasia patients may be born with. As a result, they often are diagnosed a bit later. They're referred and diagnosed. Greg FribergEVP, Chief Research and Development Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:42:54That data point that we referred to earlier, which was one of our goals to try to shrink that number in terms of age of diagnosis, is something that we see as a real positive sign that the work that we're doing to get these children in the hands of the right physicians, who again, can know what to do for them, that seems like a real early success, and we're looking forward to continuing to help shape that community and make these therapies should they become available actually in the hands of the physicians who treat the patients. Brian MuellerEVP and CFO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:43:26Thanks, Greg Freiberg and Cristin Hubbard. I'll take that revenue timing or fluctuation question. I appreciate you pointing that out because it is important to emphasize that the disconnect between that underlying patient demand growth and reported revenues is entirely order timing. There's a couple of different layers to that. one, both of which we discussed last quarter, by the way. one was, you know, large international orders that were processed in Q4 that just didn't recur in Q1. The two was something that was somewhat unique to our business when looking back over the years, which was a modest amount of U.S. stocking impact from Q4 to Q1. This affected both Palynziq and Voxzogo. Brian MuellerEVP and CFO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:44:13It wasn't significant, just, you know, about an extra week of inventory, but it was enough to show up as a variance in the quarter-over-quarter revenue. This is why we wanted to emphasize the underlying patient demand growth. There's no significant price drivers in there, by the way. It is entirely order timing dynamics. Operator00:44:38We'll move next to Phil Nadeau at TD Cowen. Phil NadeauManaging Director and Senior Research Analyst at TD Cowen00:44:43Good afternoon. Thanks for taking our questions.two from us. First, could you give an update on the ITC hearing? In particular, we're curious to get your thoughts on the ITC pretrial brief that was recently posted online. That's first. Second, in the press release, there's a note that there's gonna be some data from BMN 333's phase II, III trial in 2027. Could you provide a little bit more details around what data will be released at that time? Thanks. Alexander HardyPresident and CEO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:45:14Thanks very much, Phil. It's Alexander. I'll take the first part of your question, then hand it over to Greg for the second part. With regard to the ITC, I mean, you know, overall, you know, we believe that pursuing an exclusion order at the ITC, enforcing our IP is the most expeditious way to protect our IP in the U.S. As you mentioned, we recently completed the ITC evidentiary hearing, and post-hearing briefs are now being submitted to the presiding chief administrative law judge. What happens next is we expect to receive a decision on whether Ascendis's product infringes our patent on or about August 21st. At that point, if the full commission decides to review the decision, the final decision is expected on or about December 21st. Alexander HardyPresident and CEO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:46:10This is a little bit of, you know, where we are and what can we expect going forward. I will also add that, you know, on completion of the ITC process, we would expect to also enforce our patent in the federal district court, where, of course, monetary damages are available. I'll now hand it over to Greg. Greg FribergEVP, Chief Research and Development Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:46:34Thanks for the question, Phil Nadeau, about BMN 333. As a reminder, for those on the call, this is our long-acting CNP analog, again, designed to release continuous, potentially higher AUC exposures of CNP, when administered on a weekly basis. Again, as a reminder, in our phase I, we saw over 10x increases in the AUC levels that we were able to achieve safely in the healthy volunteers. We've recently initiated our phase II/III study in children with achondroplasia. This is a multi-regional clinical trial. It's currently open in a variety of countries around the world. We're enrolling as we speak. Our goal is to run the phase II portion where one of three doses of BMN 333 will be administered to the children. Greg FribergEVP, Chief Research and Development Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:47:31There'll be one arm that has Voxzogo as well. There's no placebo on this study. What we will ultimately report out in 2027 is that we will be able to measure the annualized growth velocity at the six month time point, and we'll be using that data along with other measures, anthropomorphic measures, other measures of safety and well-being, to make a decision based on a Bayesian analysis of which dose we should bring forward into a phase III to run head-to-head against Voxzogo. Again, looking for a superiority profile when it comes to AGV, with the presumption that more AGV will drive more in the measurements of health and wellness that we're all familiar with. Operator00:48:17We'll go next to Chris Raymond at Raymond James. Chris RaymondManaging Director, Equity Research at Raymond James00:48:23Thanks. Just a question on the pivotal trial for BMN 333. I know this has come up before, but I guess I wanna just ask maybe in a more pointed way on the decision to go with a superiority trial versus non-inferiority. Chris RaymondManaging Director, Equity Research at Raymond James00:48:40I think I've heard what you guys have said around BMN 333 providing 2 to 3x free CNP and that should translate into higher efficacy. Maybe just strategically, if a non-inferiority trial could show that data, why take the risk and run a superiority study? Thanks. Greg FribergEVP, Chief Research and Development Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:49:02Thanks for the question. This is Greg Freiberg. You know, our goal with BMN 333 is to evolve this space, not just make a more convenient version of Voxzogo. I'll just highlight that that 3x target was an at least 3x. We're actually testing a 3x, a 5x, and greater than 7x AUC exposure. From that standpoint, we believe strongly that BMN 333 is the right reagent to test this hypothesis. I'll also add that, you know, from a non-inferiority standpoint, it's a natural question to ask, wouldn't this be easier? From a pure mathematical standpoint, it's actually much harder, and the study would be upwards of 10x the size in order to show non-inferiority versus, you know, a drug like Voxzogo. Greg FribergEVP, Chief Research and Development Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:49:52From that standpoint, there's a practicality of designing the study, but I do want to reassure you that we will have an opportunity to look at the data after our phase II portion. If there need to be adjustments, if the Bayesian model gives us an update that tells us we should be reevaluating, those would be potential opportunities. That being said, we are very clear with what we want out of this molecule. We want a superior CNP product that can be the cornerstone for future therapies for achondroplasia. Alexander HardyPresident and CEO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:50:23I would just add, absolutely, as Greg Freiberg said, this is Alexander Hardy. You know, we think the opportunity and the need here is really around superiority, in terms of efficacy, AGV, and all the benefits beyond linear growth. But also, you know, by this design of a study, we actually have an active control with Voxzogo. The size of the study is smaller than it would be if it was a non-inferiority design, as Greg Freiberg has already covered. We also think the proposition to both caregivers and physicians means that, you know, this should be a study that's very attractive to potential patients to sign up to be included, and therefore, you know, speed of recruitment, which is extremely important. Alexander HardyPresident and CEO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:51:12We think that superiority profile we're aiming for from an efficacy standpoint, together with rapid trial recruitment and milestones being achieved is really a compelling proposition. Greg FribergEVP, Chief Research and Development Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:51:24Yeah, placebo-controlled studies, when there are active, safe and effective therapies, are no longer really, you know, possible to run. It's not the right thing to do either. Operator00:51:38We'll take our next question from Mohit Bansal at Wells Fargo. Chen XuAnalyst at Wells Fargo00:51:44Great. This is Chen Xu, sound for Mohit Bansal. Thank you for taking our question. I just wanna double-click on the BMN 333 a little bit. I think you guys discussed that BMN 333 targeting, you know, improvement in achondroplasia. Just wondering with a competitor that is also advancing their weekly CNP analog together with the growth hormone and potentially reporting a higher AGV. Just how should we think about BioMarin's view of this, you know, evolving treatment landscape and the role that 333 could potentially play in over time? Thank you. Greg FribergEVP, Chief Research and Development Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:52:24Thanks for the question. This is Greg Freiberg again. It is true, I think the data in combination with growth hormone, of which we've seen about 12 months of data, does show in, you know, in the early studies that there is potentially additional growth to be had by adding in a second agent. I want to caution you that it is early days for the combination. Growth hormone has been around for quite a while, in achondroplasia, it's only approved in one market that I'm aware of, that's Japan. The reason for that is that, growth that can be stimulated with growth hormone, ultimately has not historically resulted in increases in final adult height. It's growth that gets uncorked, but at the expense of potentially closing the growth plates earlier. That remains an open question. Greg FribergEVP, Chief Research and Development Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:53:16I think we do need to see data two, three years or more, not only to see the safety, of course. Growth hormone, while it has a manageable safety profile, does have its own set of challenges that need to be monitored by a physician. We need to see whether or not those gains are long-standing. I want to reassure you that this is something that we're watching very closely. If there are opportunities and levers that can help CNP do its job better, so to speak, we will evaluate those at the right time and place. We don't feel that that is the correct time right now, and we're certainly interested in seeing additional data before the paradigm shifts. This is consistent with what we've heard from many of our stakeholders as well. Operator00:54:02We'll move to our next question from Joseph Schwartz at Leerink Partners. Joseph SchwartzDirector, Biotechnology at Leerink Partners00:54:08Great. Thanks very much. I was wondering if we could get some more perspective on your guidance raise for the enzyme therapies business. We see it increased by $500 million, and we estimate that Amicus has generated around $450 million in revenue for Galafold and Pombiliti in the comparable 8 months last year. That implies low double-digit growth, around 11%, I think. I heard you reference a high double-digit percent growth, Brian. I'm just wondering if you can help us reconcile that difference. Thanks Brian MuellerEVP and CFO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:54:52Thanks, Joe. Appreciate the question and your math there. I'd probably attribute the reconciliation difference that you're trying to get at with two elements. One, by doing a pro rata eight months of 2025, you know, there's, you know, some missing variables there and a lack of precision that we couldn't do a strict apples to apples comparison. Secondly, you know, on a full year basis, again, I pointed to that strong performance for the first four months of the year for both Galafold and Pombiliti and Opfolda. You know, again, not reported. This is internal management data. Brian MuellerEVP and CFO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:55:42We're not disclosing it because it didn't go through the usual, you know, external reporting process like a regular quarter does. We thought it was important to add color to that full year. I'd say it's more important, and this goes to our own business as well when we think about some of these quarterly timing dynamics. I think it's most important to compare the full year annual cycle year-over-year, and that's where when we piece together the range that's implied today over that, you know, full year $634 million that Amicus reported for 2025, we have a range of high teens to low 20s. I'd encourage you to anchor to that rather than trying to calculate some intra-quarter math. Operator00:56:31We'll move next to Jason Gerberry at Bank of America. Jason GerberryManaging Director at Bank of America00:56:36Hey, guys. Thanks for taking my questions. Alex, just to follow up on the ITC question, I'm trying to just get my head around, do you have any knowledge of the Ascendis ability to do manufacturing workaround? Just help us think through scenarios if you get a positive ruling, like could a decision be stayed pending any sort of appeals? Then just as a follow-up, just on Palm Op, I believe, you've inherited the asset basically launched into 15 country markets and I think the goal is to get it into 80 country markets. How should we think about the phasing of that now that you've got the asset either 2026 or 2027? Thanks. Alexander HardyPresident and CEO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:57:19Thanks very much for the questions. I'm, unfortunately, I'm not going to give any further details of the ITC, the potential, you know, scenarios around it. I hope you can understand that we don't want to get into too many specifics, especially whilst the case is very much pending. I'll hand it over now to Cristin for the second part. Cristin HubbardEVP and Chief Commercial Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:57:43Yeah. Thank you very much for the question around Pombiliti and Opfolda. You're absolutely correct in that there are currently we are reimbursed in 15 countries. What we've been doing, you know, before the transaction was closed, we've been doing significant and deep dive, you know, discovery sessions, really looking at the business in each market for both Galafold and Pombiliti and Opfolda, really understanding what the dynamics are therein. Importantly looking at, as you've mentioned, our 80-country footprint and saying, "Where would the potential and the opportunity be?" We're identifying opportunities for both Galafold as well as Pombiliti and Opfolda. Given that Pombiliti and Opfolda is much earlier in its launch trajectory, you can imagine that there'll be a larger number of countries to look at therein. Cristin HubbardEVP and Chief Commercial Officer at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:58:26It's important to note that we're not necessarily going to put it into our entire 80-country footprint, but importantly look at where we believe the potential opportunities are and then have a cadence to that that we'll share more of in the Q2 call. Operator00:58:42That concludes the Q&A session. I will now turn the conference back over to BioMarin CEO, Alexander Hardy, for closing remarks. Alexander HardyPresident and CEO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:58:51Thank you, operator, and thank you all for joining us today. This quarter, as you can tell, marks a really important inflection point for BioMarin. With the recent close of the Amicus acquisition expanding our commercial re-reach, strengthening our 2026 revenue growth outlook to 20% and enhancing our ability to serve more patients globally. We're encouraged by the robust patient demand observed across our portfolio. In enzyme therapies, we anticipate that the momentum from the Palynziq launch in adolescence will continue to build. With Voxzogo, a consistent rise in new patient initiations, more than 20% year-over-year in Q1, especially among younger children, demonstrates confidence in its long-term safety and efficacy and highlights the importance of starting treatment as early as possible. Alexander HardyPresident and CEO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical00:59:45With the integration of Amicus now well underway, several near-term catalysts ahead, pipeline readouts, we are focused on translating this momentum into accelerated growth, broader patient impact, meaningful value creation. We appreciate your continued support and look forward to updating you next quarter. Thank you. Operator01:00:09This concludes today's Conference Call. Thank you for your participation. You may now disconnect.Read moreParticipantsExecutivesAlexander HardyPresident and CEOBrian MuellerEVP and CFOCristin HubbardEVP and Chief Commercial OfficerGreg FribergEVP, Chief Research and Development OfficerTraci McCartyGroup VP of Investor RelationsAnalystsChen XuAnalyst at Wells FargoChris RaymondManaging Director, Equity Research at Raymond JamesJason GerberryManaging Director at Bank of AmericaJoseph SchwartzDirector, Biotechnology at Leerink PartnersPaul MatteisManaging Director and Head of Biotech Research at StifelPhil NadeauManaging Director and Senior Research Analyst at TD CowenAnalyst at BarclaysAnalyst at Evercore ISIAnalyst at Goldman SachsAnalyst at JPMorganAnalyst at Morgan StanleyPowered by
