New analysis showcases impact of VOXZOGO® (vosoritide) in foramen magnum and craniocervical junction growth in children with achondroplasia, including infants
, /PRNewswire/ -- BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (Nasdaq: BMRN) today announced it will present new data from 13 studies at the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research 2026 Annual Meeting (ASBMR) in Boston, including results from studies of VOXZOGO® (vosoritide) in children with achondroplasia and hypochondroplasia. The company will also share data from studies of the investigational long-acting medicine BMN 333.
The data include encouraging new imaging results from a post-hoc analysis of a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluating the effect of VOXZOGO on the growth of the foramen magnum and craniocervical junction in children with achondroplasia, including infants.
"These findings provide important new insight into the potential effect of VOXZOGO on growth-related dimensions of the foramen magnum and craniocervical junction, regions of the skull implicated in cervicomedullary compression and serious complications in children with achondroplasia," said Greg Friberg, M.D., Executive Vice President and Chief Research & Development Officer at BioMarin. "The results also underscore the potential VOXZOGO treatment may offer when started as early as possible, when it can have the greatest impact. Together with the additional data we're presenting on bone strength, limb alignment, and our emerging work in hypochondroplasia and next-generation medicines such as BMN 333, these findings reflect the depth and breadth of our commitment to understanding and improving outcomes for children living with skeletal dysplasias."
BioMarin recently submitted a supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for VOXZOGO for the treatment of hypochondroplasia. The company is also on track with its submissions to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and other regional health authorities. If approved, VOXZOGO would be the first targeted therapy for the treatment of hypochondroplasia, with a potential 2027 launch.
Additional data to be presented at the meeting include research in hypophosphatasia, as well as results from the Phase 3 ENERGY 3 study of BMN 401 in children ages 1 to 12 years with ENPP1 deficiency.

About Achondroplasia
Achondroplasia, the most common form of skeletal dysplasia leading to disproportionate short stature in humans, is characterized by slowing of endochondral ossification, which results in disproportionate short stature and disordered architecture in the long bones, spine, face and base of the skull. This condition is caused by a change in the FGFR3 gene, a negative regulator of bone growth.
More than 80% of children with achondroplasia have parents of average stature and have the condition as the result of a spontaneous gene mutation. The worldwide incidence rate of achondroplasia is about one in 25,000 live births. VOXZOGO is being tested in children whose growth plates are still "open," typically those under 18 years of age. Approximately 25% of people with achondroplasia fall into this category.
For more information about our clinical trials in achondroplasia, hypochondroplasia and other skeletal conditions, please visit clinicaltrials.biomarin.com.
About Hypochondroplasia
Hypochondroplasia is a rare, genetic skeletal dysplasia characterized by impaired bone growth, leading to disproportionate short stature and skeletal differences that can affect the long bones, spine and other parts of the skeleton and may impact physical functioning and overall quality of life. The condition presents with a broad and variable clinical spectrum and may include otolaryngologic (related to the ears, nose and throat) and neurological complications and is often diagnosed in toddlerhood or early school age based on clinical and radiological findings. BioMarin estimates that roughly 14,000 children with hypochondroplasia within the company's global footprint may be eligible for treatment with VOXZOGO.
There are currently no medicines approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or the European Medicines Agency for the treatment of hypochondroplasia.
For more information about our clinical trials in hypochondroplasia, achondroplasia and other skeletal conditions, please visit clinicaltrials.biomarin.com.
About VOXZOGO
In children with achondroplasia, endochondral bone growth, an essential process by which bone tissue is created, is negatively regulated due to a gain of function mutation in FGFR3. VOXZOGO, a C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) analog, acts as a positive regulator of the signaling pathway downstream of FGFR3 to promote endochondral bone growth.
VOXZOGO is the only approved medicine to support the growth of children with achondroplasia starting from birth, with international consensus guidelines recommending initiation of VOXZOGO as early as possible. First approved in 2021, VOXZOGO has helped more than 5,000 infants and children in more than 50 countries. Through our ongoing studies, BioMarin continues to evaluate VOXZOGO on key clinical endpoints relevant for achondroplasia patients, such as arm span, tibial bowing (leg bowing), body proportionality, spinal morphology (including spinal stenosis) and quality of life measures.
VOXZOGO is approved in the U.S., Japan and Australia to increase linear growth in children of all ages with achondroplasia with open epiphyses, and VOXZOGO is indicated in the EU for the treatment of achondroplasia in children 4 months of age and older whose epiphyses are not closed, as confirmed by appropriate genetic testing. In the U.S., this indication is approved under accelerated approval based on an improvement in annualized growth velocity. Continued approval may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in confirmatory trial(s). An sNDA with long-term safety and efficacy data from three ongoing studies, including adult height and additional clinical outcomes beyond linear growth such as body proportionality and arm span, is under review with an FDA Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) target action date of Feb. 28, 2027.
The use of VOXZOGO to treat hypochondroplasia has not yet been approved by any regulatory agency.
Patient Support Accessing VOXZOGO
BioMarin's robust support services have ensured a seamless treatment experience, spearheaded by Clinical Coordinators, who have conducted hundreds of trainings for families with achondroplasia since approval. BioMarin provides resources to support families navigating achondroplasia, including a caregiver mentorship program that connects parents with other caregivers, and a U.S. doctor directory that helps families and healthcare professionals identify clinicians experienced in achondroplasia care.

VOXZOGO U.S. Important Safety Information
What is VOXZOGO used for?
VOXZOGO is a prescription medicine used to increase linear growth in children with achondroplasia and open growth plates (epiphyses). VOXZOGO is approved under accelerated approval based on an improvement in annualized growth velocity. Continued approval may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in confirmatory trials. What is the most important safety information about VOXZOGO?
VOXZOGO may cause serious side effects including a temporary decrease in blood pressure in some patients. To reduce the risk of a decrease in blood pressure and associated symptoms (dizziness, feeling tired, or nausea), patients should eat a meal and drink 8 to 10 ounces of fluid within 1 hour before receiving VOXZOGO. What are the most common side effects of VOXZOGO?
The most common side effects of VOXZOGO include injection site reactions (including redness, itching, swelling, bruising, rash, hives, and injection site pain), high levels of blood alkaline phosphatase shown in blood tests, vomiting, joint pain, decreased blood pressure, and stomachache. These are not all the possible side effects of VOXZOGO. Ask your healthcare provider for medical advice about side effects, and about any side effects that bother the patient or that do not go away. How is VOXZOGO taken?
VOXZOGO is taken daily as an injection given under the skin, administered by a caregiver after a healthcare provider determines the caregiver is able to administer VOXZOGO. Do not try to inject VOXZOGO until you have been shown the right way by your healthcare provider. VOXZOGO is supplied with Instructions for Use that describe the steps for preparing, injecting, and disposing VOXZOGO. Caregivers should review the Instructions for Use for guidance and any time they receive a refill of VOXZOGO in case any changes have been made. Inject VOXZOGO 1 time every day, at about the same time each day. If a dose of VOXZOGO is missed, it can be given within 12 hours from the missed dose. After 12 hours, skip the missed dose and administer the next daily dose as usual. The dose of VOXZOGO is based on body weight. Your healthcare provider will adjust the dose based on changes in weight following regular check-ups. Your healthcare provider will monitor the patient's growth and tell you when to stop taking VOXZOGO if they determine the patient is no longer able to grow. Stop administering VOXZOGO if instructed by your healthcare provider. What should you tell the doctor before or during taking VOXZOGO?
Tell your doctor about all of the patient's medical conditions including If the patient has heart disease (cardiac or vascular disease), or if the patient is on blood pressure medicine (anti-hypertensive medicine). If the patient has kidney problems or renal impairment. If the patient is pregnant or plans to become pregnant. It is not known if VOXZOGO will harm the unborn baby. If the patient is breastfeeding or plans to breastfeed. It is not known if VOXZOGO passes into breast milk. Tell your doctor about all of the medicines the patient takes, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. You may report side effects to BioMarin at 1-866-906-6100. You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

BioMarin oznámil pětiletá data, podle nichž POMBILITI + OPFOLDA u pozdní Pompeho choroby udržely motorické funkce a stabilizovaly plicní funkce. Nebyly zjištěny žádné nové bezpečnostní signály.
Long-term data reinforce durable efficacy and safety of POMBILITI + OPFOLDA in late-onset Pompe disease
, /PRNewswire/ -- BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (Nasdaq: BMRN) today announced new data evaluating the efficacy and safety of POMBILITI® (cipaglucosidase alfa-atga) + OPFOLDA® (miglustat) in late-onset Pompe disease (LOPD) were presented at the 31st Annual Congress of the World Muscle Society (WMS), in Hiroshima, Japan.
These results from the PROPEL open-label extension (OLE) study of POMBILITI + OPFOLDA, which were shared in a late-breaking presentation, demonstrated durable motor function outcomes and relative stabilization of pulmonary function over long-term follow-up. The analysis included data from 82 individuals who received POMBILITI + OPFOLDA continuously from baseline observed in the initial PROPEL study (PROPEL baseline) to year five. For the enzyme replacement therapy (ERT)-experienced cohort, the mean duration of prior ERT at baseline was 7.6 years. These data represent long-term benefits for people with LOPD followed in the study, including both ERT-experienced and ERT-naïve cohorts.
"These five-year results demonstrate that POMBILITI and OPFOLDA can provide durable, long-term benefits for people living with late-onset Pompe disease, including those who had been on enzyme replacement therapy for years before enrolling in the study," said Greg Friberg, M.D., Executive Vice President and Chief Research & Development Officer at BioMarin. "Sustaining motor function and limiting pulmonary decline for up to five years in a progressive disease like LOPD is clinically meaningful, and we remain committed to continuing to share long-term evidence to inform the care of people with this rare genetic condition."

About the PROPEL Open-Label Extension Study
The Phase 3 open-label extension (OLE) study (ATB200-07; NCT04138277) is a multicenter, international study designed to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of POMBILITI + OPFOLDA in adults with late-onset Pompe disease (LOPD) who completed the Phase 3 PROPEL study (ATB200-03; NCT03729362). Of the 118 people treated in the OLE, 82 continued POMBILITI + OPFOLDA treatment from PROPEL (62 ERT-experienced prior to PROPEL; 20 ERT-naïve) and 37 switched from the comparator arm to POMBILITI + OPFOLDA (29 ERT-experienced; eight ERT-naïve).
The study evaluates long-term changes from PROPEL baseline in six-minute walk distance (6MWD, the primary endpoint in PROPEL), forced vital capacity (FVC), creatine kinase (CK) and hexose tetrasaccharide (Hex4) levels, and patient-reported outcomes, as well as long-term safety.
About Study 351-201
The 351-201 trial (NCT06280209) is a Phase 1/2 multicenter open-label dose-escalation study evaluating BMN 351 for the treatment of boys aged 4 to 10 with Duchenne muscular dystrophy with a specific genetic change amenable to exon 51 skipping. The primary endpoints examine the safety and tolerability of BMN 351, the secondary endpoints assess plasma, urine and muscle pharmacokinetics, and key exploratory endpoints include exon-skipping efficiency, dystrophin expression, immunogenicity and functional assessments.
The study is being conducted in three cohorts, with Cohort 1 being divided into Cohort 1A and Cohort 1B. In Cohort 1A, three boys received increasing doses once every two weeks with a visit to assess safety measures collected the week after dosing prior to escalating doses of BMN 351. In part two, the participants in Cohort 1A transitioned to once-weekly dosing. The participants in Cohort 1B, 2 and 3 will receive low (6 mg/kg), medium (9 mg/kg) and high (12 mg/kg) doses of BMN 351 and continue once-weekly dosing at that same dose.

About Late-Onset Pompe Disease
Late-onset Pompe disease (LOPD) is an inherited lysosomal disorder caused by deficiency of the enzyme acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA). Reduced or absent levels of GAA lead to accumulation of glycogen in cells, which is believed to result in the clinical manifestations of Pompe disease. LOPD can be severe and debilitating with progressive muscle weakness throughout the body that worsens over time, particularly in skeletal muscles and muscles that control breathing.
About Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a severe neuromuscular condition that leads to progressive muscle weakness and premature mortality. DMD is caused by genetic changes that result in the absence or dysfunction of dystrophin, an essential protein that is necessary for preserving muscle function.
As an X-linked disorder, DMD primarily affects young boys, with onset of symptoms occurring around 2 to 3 years of age. The incidence of DMD is up to 1 in 3,600 to 6,000 live male births.
Individuals with DMD experience serious functional impairments, including loss of limb strength and ambulation, and respiratory and cardiovascular impacts that require lifelong care.
About POMBILITI + OPFOLDA
POMBILITI + OPFOLDA is a two-component therapy that consists of cipaglucosidase alfa-atga, a bis-M6P-enriched rhGAA that facilitates high-affinity uptake through the M6P receptor while retaining its capacity for processing into the most active form of the enzyme, and the oral enzyme stabilizer, miglustat, that is designed to reduce loss of enzyme activity in the blood.

BioMarin očekává, že VOXZOGO letos dosáhne tržeb ve výši 1 miliardy USD, a stane se tak prvním blockbusterem firmy. Současně pokračuje v integraci a čeká na úspory ve výši 200 milionů USD.
Can BioMarin Stock Live Up to Wall Street’s High Expectations?BioMarin Pharmaceutical NASDAQ: BMRN said it is progressing with the integration of Amicus Therapeutics while pursuing additional business-development opportunities, as executives outlined growth plans for newly acquired rare-disease products, VOXZOGO and several pipeline programs at Morgan Stanley’s Global Healthcare Conference.
President and CEO Alexander Hardy said the company has delivered business growth, margin expansion and efficiency improvements while integrating Amicus. He described the transaction as primarily driven by the opportunity to accelerate revenue from GALAFOLD and POMBILITI + OPFOLDA, as well as realize operating-cost synergies. Diversification of BioMarin’s growth profile was a secondary benefit, he said.
Get BMRN alerts:
Amicus Integration and Financial Targets 3 Oversold Stocks with Big RSI Rebound PotentialBioMarin projects peak sales of approximately $1.4 billion for GALAFOLD and $1.2 billion for POMBILITI + OPFOLDA by the mid-2030s. Hardy said the opportunity for GALAFOLD is centered on improving Fabry disease diagnosis and treatment rates, supplemented by geographic expansion. He said the company believes it can more than double the number of U.S. patients on GALAFOLD by the mid-2030s.
For POMBILITI + OPFOLDA, Hardy said the commercial opportunity is more dependent on patients switching from other Pompe disease therapies as evidence and real-world data develop. He characterized that market as a longer and slower opportunity than GALAFOLD’s.
Are Gene Therapy Stocks The Market's Next Big Winners?BioMarin expects $200 million in non-GAAP expense savings from the Amicus transaction. Hardy said Amicus had about 505 employees and BioMarin expects to retain approximately 192 over the long term. The company primarily retained commercial and medical-affairs personnel supporting GALAFOLD and POMBILITI + OPFOLDA, while about 70% of the savings are expected to come from general and administrative expenses, with the remainder from duplicated research and development functions.
Executive Vice President and CFO Brian Mueller said the integration planning has moved beyond high-level targets, with employee decisions communicated and operational cutover plans established across functions. He said integration will continue through this year and into next year because some systems and processes are qualified and regulated. BioMarin expects to realize most synergies in 2027, with 2028 representing the first full year of full synergy realization.
Mueller said BioMarin expects the transaction to be accretive in its first year, with substantial accretion beginning next year. The additional cash flow has allowed the company to advance its deleveraging target. BioMarin now expects leverage to fall below 2.5 times by the middle of 2027, nearly a year earlier than its initial target of within two years of the transaction’s announcement.
Hardy said reaching that target would restore the company’s pre-Amicus acquisition capacity for deals of up to $5 billion. Mueller said that, with continued EBITDA growth, capacity could reach approximately $6 billion by 2028. BioMarin recently announced and closed a deal to add Alesta Therapeutics’ ALE1 program to its pipeline, and Hardy said the company intends to continue pursuing transactions while it deleverages.
VOXZOGO Growth and Competitive Landscape Hardy said VOXZOGO continued to grow despite the entry of a competitor in the U.S. market. He cited 20% quarterly patient growth and said the company raised its full-year outlook. BioMarin expects VOXZOGO to reach $1 billion in revenue this year, which would make it the company’s first blockbuster product, according to Hardy.
He said most new VOXZOGO patient starts have been in the zero-to-two-year-old population, where BioMarin has an indication and data advantage that will remain exclusive for several years. The company is also awaiting a potential FDA approval for VOXZOGO in hypochondroplasia, an opportunity not incorporated into its 2026 outlook.
BioMarin has reached a settlement with Ascendis that provides BioMarin a 20% royalty rate in the U.S. and an 18% royalty rate in Europe, Brazil and South Korea. Hardy said the arrangement allows BioMarin to benefit if Ascendis’ TransCon treatment brings additional patients into the market.
Hardy added that BioMarin markets VOXZOGO in 55 countries and has an 80-country commercial footprint. He said market access outside the U.S. is more complex and requires local expertise, giving BioMarin an advantage over newer entrants.
Established Products and Pipeline BioMarin said PALYNZIQ grew 27% to $135 million, aided by the U.S. adolescent-label launch. Hardy estimated the 12-to-17-year-old population could add roughly 10% to the addressable patient opportunity. He said the therapy’s efficacy may appeal to families preparing adolescents for greater independence, including college.
Hardy also said VIMIZIM has the potential to exceed $1 billion in revenue. He noted that quarterly results can be affected by international ordering patterns and government purchases, but said VIMIZIM grew 7% in 2025 and has historically grown at around that pace. Mueller encouraged investors to focus on full-year results and guidance because of quarterly timing effects.
On pipeline development, Hardy said BioMarin’s BMN 333 showed more than 13-fold higher free CNP exposure than another long-acting CNP agent in a Phase I healthy-volunteer study. The company is conducting an operationally seamless Phase II/III study to determine whether higher free CNP levels translate into improved annualized growth velocity and other health benefits. BioMarin expects to have Phase II findings around the middle of the year.
Regarding ALE1, Hardy said the oral candidate for hypophosphatasia could potentially address bone manifestations as well as symptoms such as muscle pain and fatigue by reducing pyrophosphate at its source. He said approximately 6,000 U.S. patients are diagnosed with the disease, but only an estimated 10% to 30% receive treatment.

BioMarin ukončuje vývoj Voxzogo pro děti s Noonanovým syndromem; rozhodnutí souvisí s proveditelností studie a léčebným prostředím, ne se bezpečností ani účinností.
Key Takeaways BMRN stops Voxzogo development for Noonan syndrome, citing study feasibility and the treatment landscape.Voxzogo generated $472 million in first-half 2026 sales, up 9% year over year on strong demand.BMRN expects $1.00-$1.05 billion in 2026 Voxzogo sales, with hypochondroplasia approval targeted for 2027. BioMarin Pharmaceutical (BMRN - Free Report) announced that it is discontinuing the development of Voxzogo (vosoritide) for children with Noonan syndrome, a rare genetic condition that can affect growth and development in multiple parts of the body.
This announcement came via an SEC filing on Tuesday, which attributed the decision to the study’s feasibility and the current treatment landscape. The company clarified that the decision was not related to the safety or efficacy of Voxzogo.
In March, BioMarin ended development of the drug for three other short stature indications, Turner Syndrome, SHOX-deficiency and Aggrecan (ACAN)-deficiency. Unlike the Noonan syndrome, these studies were stopped due to the occurrence of an adverse event called slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) in study participants across two investigator-sponsored studies. At the time, BioMarin stated that it would continue studying Voxzogo for Noonan syndrome.
Voxzogo was approved by the FDA in 2021 as the first approved treatment for achondroplasia, the most common form of dwarfism. The drug is a C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) analog administered once daily as a subcutaneous injection. CNP is a naturally occurring signaling molecule that plays a role in regulating bone growth.
BMRN Stock PerformanceYear to date, shares of the company have gained 8.5% compared with the industry’s 5.5% growth.

Voxzogo: A Key Driver of BioMarin’s ToplineVoxzogo has seen rapid uptake since launch. The drug has generated $472 million in sales during the first half of 2026, up 9% year over year, driven by strong prescription demand. Voxzogo is currently BioMarin's largest product by net product revenues.
Management expects sales in the second half of the year to exceed those in the first half. It expects to generate $1.00-$1.05 billion from Voxzogo sales in 2026, putting the drug on track to achieve blockbuster status.
Despite the discontinuation of development for Noonan syndrome, Voxzogo retains other potential label-expansion opportunities. BioMarin submitted a regulatory filing seeking label expansion for hypochondroplasia, which is generally considered to be a milder form of achondroplasia. This filing is supported by data from the phase III CANOPY-HCH-3 study, which met its primary and key secondary endpoints. If approved, BioMarin expects a potential launch in 2027.
BioMarin is also advancing Voxzogo in a label expansion study for another short-stature pathway condition called idiopathic short stature (without ACAN-deficiency).
BioMarin Confronts a Changing Competitive Landscape for VoxzogoVoxzogo faces increasing competition from Ascendis Pharma (ASND - Free Report) , whose Yuviwel (navepegritide) received FDA approval for achondroplasia in February 2026. Like Voxzogo, Yuviwel is a CNP therapy but is administered once weekly. The ASND drug is designed to provide continuous exposure to active CNP, potentially offering a more convenient dosing profile than the BMRN drug.
BioMarin had previously alleged that Yuviwel infringed its intellectual property covering CNP technology, triggering patent disputes across the United States, Brazil, Denmark, Germany and South Korea, including before the U.S. International Trade Commission. Recently, the two companies entered into a settlement that meaningfully changed the economics of competition.
Per the settlement terms, BioMarin will grant Ascendis a non-exclusive, worldwide license to certain patents covering Yuviwel and related products, allowing Ascendis to research, develop, manufacture and commercialize the drug across current and potential indications.
In return, Ascendis will pay BioMarin royalties equal to 20% of annual net sales in the United States and 18% in the European Union, Brazil and South Korea, from the first commercial sale in each territory through May 20, 2030. The U.S. royalty is also applied retroactively to Yuviwel's first commercial sale. All pending lawsuits between the two companies will also be dismissed.
The settlement provides BioMarin with a meaningful royalty stream from a product that competes directly with Voxzogo. However, the royalties do not eliminate the competitive risk. If Yuviwel takes substantial market share from Voxzogo, BioMarin could lose Voxzogo revenues while gaining royalty income on Ascendis' sales. The net economic impact will therefore depend on the pace of Yuviwel adoption, the extent to which it expands the overall treated population and how much of its sales come at Voxzogo's expense.
BioMarin’s Voxzogo could have another potential competitor as early as next year. Recently, BridgeBio Pharma (BBIO - Free Report) submitted a regulatory filing with the FDA for infigratinib, an FGFR3 inhibitor that could become the first approved oral therapy for achondroplasia. The company expects a U.S. launch in mid-2027, subject to approval.

BioMarin uvedl, že VOXZOGO ve studii fáze 3 u dětí s hypochondroplazií po 52 týdnech významně zlepšil růstové ukazatele a splnil primární cíl. Data byla zveřejněna v NEJM Evidence.
Detailed Phase 3 CANOPY-HCH-3 data in children living with hypochondroplasia also featured in a late-breaking oral presentation at the European Society for Paediatric Endocrinology (ESPE) 2026 Annual Meeting
VOXZOGO demonstrated statistically significant improvements across multiple measures of growth, including annualized growth velocity, standing height, height Z-score and arm span
BioMarin recently submitted a supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) to the FDA to support expanding treatment with VOXZOGO to include children with hypochondroplasia
, /PRNewswire/ -- BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (Nasdaq: BMRN) today announced new data from the Phase 3 CANOPY-HCH-3 study evaluating VOXZOGO® (vosoritide) in children with hypochondroplasia were published in New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) Evidence and presented at the European Society for Paediatric Endocrinology (ESPE) 2026 Annual Meeting. The data included new results on the magnitude of benefit seen in children receiving VOXZOGO, including statistically significant improvements in annualized growth velocity (AGV), standing height, height Z-score and arm span after 52 weeks, with safety findings consistent with the established profile of VOXZOGO in achondroplasia.
The CANOPY-HCH-3 study showed that treatment with VOXZOGO led to a statistically significant improvement in AGV compared with placebo after 52 weeks, meeting the study's primary endpoint (least squares [LS] mean difference of 2.33 cm/year; p<0.0001). Children treated with VOXZOGO also showed significant improvements in standing height (LS mean difference of 2.35 cm; p<0.0001), height Z-score (LS mean difference of 0.39 standard deviation score; p<0.0001), and arm span (LS mean difference of 1.03 cm; p=0.0082) compared with placebo. Children who received VOXZOGO also demonstrated numerical improvements in quality of life, and follow-up will continue to assess the impact of treatment over a longer term. The overall safety profile was consistent with previous studies of VOXZOGO, with most adverse events reported as mild and no treatment-related serious adverse events identified.
"These results presented in detail for the first time provide a comprehensive picture of the impact of VOXZOGO across multiple measures of growth in children with hypochondroplasia," said Greg Friberg, M.D., Executive Vice President and Chief Research & Development Officer at BioMarin. "Based on this compelling body of evidence, we have submitted these data to the FDA with the goal of securing approval for the first medicine for children with hypochondroplasia."
"Hypochondroplasia can affect a child's growth, physical function and everyday life, with families often navigating unique challenges as they support their children's development," said Andrew Dauber, M.D., lead study investigator and Chief of Endocrinology at Children's National in Washington, D.C. "The changes we observed in annualized growth velocity and arm span provide encouraging evidence of how children with hypochondroplasia responded to treatment throughout the study. These findings deepen our understanding of the condition while reinforcing VOXZOGO's potential as the first targeted medicine developed specifically for children with hypochondroplasia."
BioMarin recently submitted its supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the approval of VOXZOGO for the treatment of hypochondroplasia and are on track with the submissions to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and other regional health authorities. If approved, VOXZOGO would be the first targeted therapy for the treatment of hypochondroplasia, with a potential 2027 launch.

About Hypochondroplasia
Hypochondroplasia is a rare, genetic skeletal dysplasia characterized by impaired bone growth, leading to disproportionate short stature and skeletal differences that can affect the long bones, spine and other parts of the skeleton and may impact physical functioning and overall quality of life. The condition presents with a broad and variable clinical spectrum and may include otolaryngologic (related to the ears, nose and throat) and neurological complications and is often diagnosed in toddlerhood or early school age based on clinical and radiological findings. BioMarin estimates that roughly 14,000 children with hypochondroplasia within the company's global footprint may be eligible for treatment with VOXZOGO.
There are currently no medicines approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or the European Medicines Agency for the treatment of hypochondroplasia.

About VOXZOGO
In children with achondroplasia, endochondral bone growth, an essential process by which bone tissue is created, is negatively regulated due to a gain of function mutation in FGFR3. VOXZOGO, a C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) analog, acts as a positive regulator of the signaling pathway downstream of FGFR3 to promote endochondral bone growth.
VOXZOGO is the only approved medicine to support the growth of children with achondroplasia starting from birth, with international consensus guidelines recommending initiation of VOXZOGO as early as possible. First approved in 2021, VOXZOGO has helped more than 5,000 infants and children in more than 50 countries. Through our ongoing studies, BioMarin continues to evaluate VOXZOGO on key clinical endpoints relevant for achondroplasia patients, such as arm span, tibial bowing (leg bowing), body proportionality, spinal morphology (including spinal stenosis) and quality of life measures.
VOXZOGO is approved in the U.S., Japan and Australia to increase linear growth in children of all ages with achondroplasia with open epiphyses, and VOXZOGO is indicated in the EU for the treatment of achondroplasia in children 4 months of age and older whose epiphyses are not closed, as confirmed by appropriate genetic testing. In the U.S., this indication is approved under accelerated approval based on an improvement in annualized growth velocity. Continued approval may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in confirmatory trial(s). An sNDA with long-term safety and efficacy data from three ongoing studies, including adult height and additional clinical outcomes beyond linear growth such as body proportionality and arm span is under review with an FDA Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) target action date of Feb. 28, 2027.
The use of VOXZOGO to treat hypochondroplasia has not yet been approved by any regulatory agency.
VOXZOGO U.S. Important Safety Information
What is VOXZOGO used for?
VOXZOGO is a prescription medicine used to increase linear growth in children with achondroplasia and open growth plates (epiphyses). VOXZOGO is approved under accelerated approval based on an improvement in annualized growth velocity. Continued approval may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in confirmatory trials. What is the most important safety information about VOXZOGO?
VOXZOGO may cause serious side effects including a temporary decrease in blood pressure in some patients. To reduce the risk of a decrease in blood pressure and associated symptoms (dizziness, feeling tired, or nausea), patients should eat a meal and drink 8 to 10 ounces of fluid within 1 hour before receiving VOXZOGO. What are the most common side effects of VOXZOGO?
The most common side effects of VOXZOGO include injection site reactions (including redness, itching, swelling, bruising, rash, hives, and injection site pain), high levels of blood alkaline phosphatase shown in blood tests, vomiting, joint pain, decreased blood pressure, and stomachache. These are not all the possible side effects of VOXZOGO. Ask your healthcare provider for medical advice about side effects, and about any side effects that bother the patient or that do not go away. How is VOXZOGO taken?

Společnost BioMarin uzavřela s Ascendis licenční dohodu a bude dostávat licenční poplatky z prodeje Yuviwel v USA, EU, Brazílii a Jižní Koreji až do 20. května 2030. V USA jde o 20 % ročních čistých výnosů, v ostatních trzích o 18 %.
Key Takeaways BioMarin will receive royalties on Yuviwel sales, turning a patent dispute into a royalty stream.BMRN gets 20% U.S. royalties and 18% in the EU, Brazil and South Korea through May 2030.Yuviwel reached 8 million euros in second-quarter revenue and enrolled more than 220 patients by July 31. For BioMarin Pharmaceutical (BMRN - Free Report) , the FDA approval of Ascendis Pharma’s (ASND - Free Report) Yuviwel in February had created a problem — a new entrant targeting the same achondroplasia market as Voxzogo, its key revenue driver. But a recent settlement between the two companies has changed the economics of that competition in a meaningful way.
Rather than continue fighting a competitor that had already entered the market, BioMarin has found a way to make the competitor pay it. Under the settlement, Ascendis will pay BioMarin royalties on Yuviwel sales in the United States, European Union, Brazil and South Korea, effectively giving BMRN an economic interest in a drug that could otherwise take share from Voxzogo.
BMRN Turns a Patent Dispute Into a Royalty StreamWhen Voxzogo secured FDA approval in 2021, it became the first FDA-approved therapy for achondroplasia, the most common form of dwarfism. The drug is a C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) analog administered once daily as a subcutaneous injection. CNP is a naturally occurring signaling molecule involved in bone growth.
When Ascendis launched Yuviwel in April, its entry was a significant challenge for BioMarin, as Voxzogo had previously been the only approved treatment for achondroplasia. Like Voxzogo, Yuviwel is also a CNP therapy but is administered once weekly. The ASND drug is designed to provide continuous exposure to active CNP, potentially offering a more convenient dosing profile than the BMRN drug.
BioMarin had alleged that Yuviwel infringed its intellectual property covering CNP technology, triggering patent disputes across the United States, Brazil, Denmark, Germany and South Korea, including before the U.S. International Trade Commission. But instead of continuing to fight, both companies have settled their disputes with a licensing deal.
Per the settlement terms, BioMarin will grant Ascendis a non-exclusive, worldwide license to certain patents covering Yuviwel and related products, allowing Ascendis to research, develop, manufacture and commercialize the drug across current and potential indications.
In return, Ascendis will pay BioMarin royalties equal to 20% of annual net sales in the United States and 18% in the European Union, Brazil and South Korea, from the first commercial sale in each territory through May 20, 2030. The U.S. royalty is also applied retroactively to Yuviwel's first commercial sale. All pending lawsuits between the two companies will also be dismissed.
Competitive Threat for BMRN Still RemainsThe settlement changes the competitive equation for BioMarin. Previously, every dollar of Yuviwel sales represented a potential dollar of revenue at risk for Voxzogo. Under the new agreement, Yuviwel sales can also generate revenues for BioMarin through royalties. This means that while greater adoption of Yuviwel could still put pressure on Voxzogo, BMRN will now participate in the growth of its competitor.
The opportunity is becoming more meaningful as Yuviwel gains traction. Ascendis generated €8 million in Yuviwel revenues in the second quarter of 2026, its first quarter of launch, and had enrolled more than 220 patients through July 31. More than 100 healthcare providers had prescribed the drug, with more than 65% of enrollments approved for reimbursement. Ascendis is also preparing for further expansion, with its EU filings under review and additional studies underway.
Still, the settlement does not eliminate the competitive risk for BioMarin. Royalties are only a partial offset to any erosion in Voxzogo sales, and the economics will ultimately depend on how quickly Yuviwel penetrates the market and how much of that growth comes at Voxzogo’s expense.
BioMarin’s Voxzogo could have another potential competitor by this time next year. Recently, BridgeBio Pharma (BBIO - Free Report) has submitted a regulatory filing with the FDA for infigratinib, an FGFR3 inhibitor that could become the first approved oral therapy for achondroplasia. The company expects a U.S. launch in mid-2027, subject to approval.
The arrival of another potentially differentiated therapy underscores that BioMarin’s competitive challenge is unlikely to end with Yuviwel. The company may have found a clever way to monetize one threat, but it will still need to defend Voxzogo as the achondroplasia market becomes increasingly competitive.

BioMarin koupí Alesta Therapeutics za 275 milionů USD předem a až 215 milionů USD na milnících, aby získal kandidáta ALE1 pro léčbu hypofosfatázie. ALE1 má být první perorální terapií pro toto vzácné genetické onemocnění.
BioMarin to pay $275 million upfront, plus additional payments upon achievement of development and regulatory milestones
Alesta to spin out all non-ALE1 assets to a new entity and Alesta employees to transfer to the spinout entity prior to close
ALE1 has significant potential to help BioMarin expand into larger rare disease markets with a medicine intended to address a high unmet need for patients and offers strong strategic fit for the company
, /PRNewswire/ -- BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (Nasdaq: BMRN) announced today that BioMarin has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Alesta Therapeutics to gain Alesta's lead clinical-stage asset, ALE1. Alesta plans to spin out all non-ALE1 assets prior to the close of the transaction, which has been approved by the boards of directors of both companies and is expected to be completed this quarter, subject to customary closing conditions.
ALE1 is an orally active, small molecule for the potential treatment of hypophosphatasia (HPP), a rare genetic bone disease caused by mutations in the ALPL gene. ALE1 has the potential to be the first oral therapy for HPP and is currently being evaluated in an ongoing Phase 1/2a clinical trial assessing safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics in healthy volunteers and adults with HPP.
HPP is a serious condition that can affect bone and tooth mineralization, resulting in easy or frequent bone breaks, early tooth loss, and, in adults, clinically significant muscle weakness, fatigue and pain. If approved, ALE1 is expected to be the first oral therapy approach that targets the central disease metabolite, PPi (inorganic pyrophosphate), with the potential to impact both skeletal and broader manifestations of HPP through systemic correction of disease biology. The program will become part of BioMarin's Skeletal Conditions Business Unit following close.
"ALE1 is a strong strategic fit for BioMarin, bringing a potential oral alternative to the injectable therapies available today for people living with HPP around the world while meaningfully strengthening our early-stage clinical pipeline," said Alexander Hardy, President and Chief Executive Officer of BioMarin. "This is exactly the kind of opportunity to address a significant unmet need that lets us compete in larger rare disease markets – adding an asset that has the potential to reach our largest addressable patient population. We plan to continue to seek these kinds of opportunities as we focus on clinical-stage innovation to drive durable growth for BioMarin."
Under the terms of the agreement, BioMarin will acquire Alesta and Alesta shareholders will receive an upfront payment of $275 million plus up to $215 million in subsequent payments upon achievement of certain development and regulatory milestones. Additionally, immediately prior to the close of BioMarin's acquisition of Alesta, Alesta will spin out all non-ALE1 assets to a new entity and former Alesta employees will transfer to the spinout entity. As a result, no Alesta employees will become employees of BioMarin in connection with the transaction. BioMarin intends to fund the transaction with cash on hand. BioMarin expects to provide updated full-year 2026 guidance reflecting the acquisition of Alesta following the closing of the transaction. Excluding the upfront consideration, the transaction is expected to have a modestly dilutive impact on 2026 financial results.
"We chose to partner with BioMarin due to their deep commitment to people living with rare diseases," said Ilan Ganot, Chief Executive Officer of Alesta Therapeutics. "BioMarin's global reach, scale, and proven expertise in rare disease drug development make it an ideal partner to advance ALE1 and realize its potential as a promising treatment for patients with HPP worldwide. This acquisition is also a testament to the extraordinary work, scientific expertise, and drug development capabilities of the Alesta team."
Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is acting as the exclusive financial advisor to BioMarin, and Jones Day is serving as legal counsel in connection with the acquisition. J.P. Morgan Securities LLC is acting as exclusive financial advisor to Alesta, and Goodwin Procter LLP and NautaDutilh N.V. are serving as legal counsel.
About ALE1
ALE1 is designed to inhibit a novel target that regulates levels of inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi), the metabolite at the center of HPP pathology. By lowering excess PPi, ALE1 aims to restore healthier bone and mineral metabolism across the full spectrum of HPP.
More than 9,000 people have been diagnosed with HPP in the U.S., however, the disease is often underdiagnosed due to a broad spectrum of symptoms that can mimic more common conditions.

Presentation
Operator
Good afternoon, and welcome, everyone, to the BioMarin Pharmaceutical Second Quarter 2026 Conference Call. Today's conference is being recorded. [Operator Instructions]
At this time, I would like to turn the conference over to Traci McCarty, Head of Investor Relations.
Traci McCarty
Group Vice President
Thank you, operator, and thank you all for joining us today. To remind you, this nonconfidential 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. These non-GAAP
BioMarin Pharmaceutical (BMRN - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $1.2 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.96 per share. This compares to earnings of $1.44 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +25.00%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this rare disease biopharmaceutical would post earnings of $0.94 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.76, delivering a surprise of -19.15%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times.
BioMarin, which belongs to the Zacks Medical - Biomedical and Genetics industry, posted revenues of $989.71 million for the quarter ended June 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 7.31%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $825.41 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates three times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
BioMarin shares have added about 0.8% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 12.8%.
What's Next for BioMarin?While BioMarin has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for BioMarin was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $1.49 on $1.04 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $4.95 on $3.86 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Medical - Biomedical and Genetics is currently in the top 44% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
BioXcel Therapeutics, Inc. (BTAI - Free Report) , another stock in the same industry, has yet to report results for the quarter ended June 2026.
This company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.51 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +79.2%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
BioXcel Therapeutics, Inc.'s revenues are expected to be $0.34 million, up 183.3% from the year-ago quarter.
BioMarin zvýšil celoroční výhled tržeb z VOXZOGO na nejméně 1 miliardu USD v roce 2026 po silné poptávce. Ve 2. čtvrtletí tržby meziročně vzrostly o 20 % na 990 milionů USD.
Second Quarter 2026 Total Revenues Increased 20% Year-over-year to $990 million
Stronger Growth Expectations Drive Increased Guidance for Full-year 2026 Total Revenues, VOXZOGO®, and Non-GAAP Diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS)
Addition of GALAFOLD® and POMBILITI® + OPFOLDA®, with Cost Synergies, Expected to Accelerate Revenue Growth, Non-GAAP Diluted EPS Accretion, Non-GAAP Operating Margin Expansion, and Operating Cash Flow through the Mid-2030s
Conference Call and Webcast Scheduled Today at 4:30 p.m. ET
, /PRNewswire/ -- BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (NASDAQ: BMRN) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.
"This quarter, we executed strongly across our portfolio while rapidly integrating Amicus into BioMarin's operations and advancing plans to accelerate growth for GALAFOLD and POMBILITI + OPFOLDA, and extending the benefit of these medicines to more patients worldwide," said Alexander Hardy, President and Chief Executive Officer of BioMarin. "Strong global demand led us to increase full-year VOXZOGO revenue guidance to at least $1 billion in 2026. Adding to this momentum is the opportunity to advance our second potential indication with VOXZOGO, hypochondroplasia, based on recent pivotal data that exceeded our expectations." Mr. Hardy added, "With our larger, more diversified commercial portfolio of innovative medicines, we are positioned to deliver additional growth and increased profitability. We expect strong execution through the remainder of 2026, bringing together our expanded portfolio, scale and disciplined integration efforts to reach more patients living with serious genetic conditions around the world."
2026 Business and Pipeline Highlights
Innovation
BioMarin recently submitted its supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the approval of VOXZOGO for the treatment of hypochondroplasia. If approved, VOXZOGO would be the first targeted therapy for the treatment of hypochondroplasia, with a potential 2027 launch. The company plans to provide an update on the application status as part of its third quarter earnings update. In May, the company announced that the Phase 3 CANOPY-HCH-3 study of VOXZOGO in children with hypochondroplasia met its primary endpoint, with a statistically significant increase in annualized growth velocity (AGV) at week 52 versus placebo (LS mean difference +2.33 cm/yr, p<0.0001), along with significant improvements in standing height, height Z-score, and the key secondary endpoint of arm span. The full Phase 3 dataset will be shared in a late-breaking oral presentation at the European Society for Paediatric Endocrinology Annual Meeting in September. In June, at the Endocrine Society Annual Meeting (ENDO 2026), a Phase 2 investigator-sponsored three-year extension study of VOXZOGO in 13 children with hypochondroplasia showed sustained improvements in growth with a favorable safety profile. Mean AGV increased from 4.27 cm/year at baseline to 7.24 cm/year at year one (p<0.001) and remained above baseline through year three, with mean height standard deviation score (SDS) improving 0.72 over the three years. Also at ENDO 2026, the company presented Phase 1 data for BMN 333, BioMarin's long-acting C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) for achondroplasia. In a single-ascending-dose study in healthy adults, BMN 333 demonstrated sustained exposure supporting weekly dosing and was well tolerated, with free CNP exposure at the highest dose more than 13-fold that of another long-acting CNP agent, reflecting its potential to become a new standard of care in achondroplasia. The Phase 2/3 study is enrolling, with a data update expected in 2027. In July, BioMarin announced that the FDA accepted its sNDA for full approval of VOXZOGO in children with achondroplasia, with a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) target action date of February 28, 2027. In the second quarter, the European Commission approved PALYNZIQ® for adolescents 12 years and older with phenylketonuria (PKU). PALYNZIQ is the only therapy that enables people with PKU to reach physiologic Phe levels while reducing dietary restrictions, regardless of severity. During the quarter, BioMarin added BMN 820 (formerly DMX-200) to its portfolio, a first-in-class oral CCR2 inhibitor for focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) for which BioMarin holds exclusive U.S. commercialization rights. BMN 820 has the potential to treat a broad FSGS population, regardless of nephrotic syndrome status, and represents a U.S. total addressable patient population of approximately 30,000. The Phase 3 ACTION 3 trial is ongoing, with pivotal data expected in 2028. BMN 351, BioMarin's Phase 1/2 candidate for Duchenne muscular dystrophy, continued in development. The company expects to provide a program update by year-end. Following the pivotal ENERGY 3 trial results, previously announced in May, in which BMN 401 did not meet one of its two co-primary endpoints for the treatment of ENPP1 deficiency, BioMarin has now made the decision to discontinue development of BMN 401 across all indications. In July, BioMarin and the n-Lorem Foundation entered a collaboration and global exclusive license agreement to develop a first-in-disease antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) medicine for ReNU syndrome, a serious, rare neurodevelopmental condition with no approved targeted therapies. ReNU syndrome has an expected global population of approximately 100,000. Growth
BioMarin expects peak revenue for GALAFOLD to be approximately $1.4 billion by the mid-2030s and for POMBILITI + OPFOLDA to be approximately $1.2 billion by the mid-to-late-2030s. BioMarin expects these high growth therapies to benefit from its global scale and proven commercial capabilities. Metabolic Conditions (formerly Enzyme Therapies) revenue grew 25% Y/Y in the second quarter of 2026, driven by the additions of GALAFOLD and POMBILITI + OPFOLDA and continued strength from PALYNZIQ. The number of patients on therapy grew across all BioMarin-marketed therapies, both Y/Y and sequentially. Strong U.S. and global demand led to increased full-year 2026 VOXZOGO revenue guidance to a low end of $1 billion. The number of children being treated with VOXZOGO globally increased by more than 20% Y/Y in the second quarter. In the U.S., the majority of new patient starts were under two years of age, and the region drove approximately 25% of total VOXZOGO revenue during the quarter. Value Commitment
As part of the acquisition of Amicus, which closed on April 27, 2026, the company identified approximately $280 million of cost reductions on a GAAP basis, and approximately $220 million of cost reductions on a Non-GAAP basis, expected to be fully realized in 2028, representing an approximately 50% reduction from Amicus-reported 2025 GAAP and Non-GAAP operating expenses, respectively. Synergies reflect a reduction of Amicus' legacy labor costs and external spend and are expected to be largely driven by general and administrative functions, with the large majority of sales and marketing capabilities retained to support continued commercial growth. GALAFOLD and POMBILITI + OPFOLDA, combined, are expected to reach over 60% Non-GAAP Operating Margin by 2030. The company is targeting gross leverage below 2.5 times by mid-year 2027, an acceleration by approximately one year of prior timeline guidance provided at deal announcement, supported by profitability growth of the combined company. Second Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights
Total Revenues for the second quarter of 2026 were $990 million, an increase of $165 million compared to the same period in 2025, primarily driven by revenues from GALAFOLD and POMBILITI + OPFOLDA, which were acquired from Amicus on April 27, 2026, as well as new patients initiating VOXZOGO therapy across all regions and growth in U.S. patients treated with PALYNZIQ. These increases were partially offset by lower VIMIZIM® revenue due to the timing of large government orders outside the U.S. and lower ALDURAZYME® sales volume due to the timing of order fulfillment to Sanofi. GAAP Net Income for the second quarter of 2026 decreased to $45 million compared to $241 million for the same period in 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by the acquisition of Amicus, including integration and restructuring costs, intangible asset amortization, interest expense from debt issued to finance a portion of the transaction, and amortization of inventory fair value step-up. Other drivers included higher sales and marketing spend to support newly acquired products and global expansion of VOXZOGO and higher Research and Development (R&D) spend related to BMN 401, which was acquired in the third quarter of 2025, partially offset by higher gross profit driven by revenue growth as described above. Non-GAAP Income for the second quarter of 2026 decreased to $236 million compared to $282 million for the same period in 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by higher interest expense, higher sales and marketing spend to support newly acquired products and global expansion of VOXZOGO, and higher R&D spend related to BMN 401, partially offset by higher gross profit driven by revenue growth as described above.

Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Financial Information
BioMarin does not provide guidance for GAAP reported financial measures (other than revenue) or a reconciliation of forward-looking Non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP reported financial measures because the company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the financial impact of changes resulting from its strategic portfolio and business operating model reviews; potential future asset impairments; gains and losses on investments; and other unusual gains and losses without unreasonable effort. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on GAAP reported results for the guidance period. As such, any reconciliations provided would imply a degree of precision that could be confusing or misleading to investors.
Updated 2026 Full-Year Financial Guidance (in millions, except EPS amounts)
Total Revenues, VOXZOGO, and Non-GAAP Diluted EPS guidance raised, reflecting strong first-half 2026 performance and second-half 2026 revenue expectations for both Metabolic Conditions and VOXZOGO. Guidance reflects post-close contributions from Amicus beginning April 27, 2026. BioMarin will continue to include interest expense related to the Amicus financing in both GAAP and Non‑GAAP financial results. Based on current rates, interest expense associated with the financing is estimated at approximately $200 million on an annualized basis, with Term Loans and Senior Notes scheduled to mature after 2030.

Non-GAAP Information
The results presented in this press release include both GAAP information and Non-GAAP information. Non-GAAP Income is defined by the company as GAAP Net Income (Loss) excluding amortization, stock-based compensation expense and, in certain periods, certain other specified items, as detailed below when applicable. The company also includes a Non-GAAP adjustment for the estimated tax impact of the reconciling items. Non-GAAP Cost of Sales (COS), Non-GAAP R&D expenses and Non-GAAP Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses are defined by the company as GAAP COS, GAAP R&D expenses and GAAP SG&A expenses, respectively, excluding stock-based compensation expense and, in certain periods, certain other specified items, as detailed below when applicable. Non-GAAP Operating Margin percentage is defined by the company as GAAP Income (Loss) from Operations, excluding amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense and, in certain periods, certain other specified items, divided by GAAP Total Revenues. Non-GAAP Diluted EPS is defined by the company as Non-GAAP Income divided by Non-GAAP Weighted-Average Diluted Shares Outstanding. Non-GAAP Weighted-Average Diluted Shares Outstanding is defined by the company as GAAP Weighted-Average Diluted Shares Outstanding, adjusted to include any common shares issuable under the company's equity plans or convertible debt in periods when they are dilutive under Non-GAAP. Projected Gross Leverage is defined by the company as undiscounted debt (total debt excluding unamortized discount and deferred offering costs) as of the balance sheet date divided by 4 quarter projected Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA. Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA is defined by the company as GAAP Income (or Loss) from Operations excluding the impact of depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation expense. Non-GAAP synergies is defined by the company as Amicus' legacy labor and external spend cost reductions, excluding the impact of stock-based compensation.
BioMarin regularly uses both GAAP and Non-GAAP results and expectations internally to assess its financial operating performance and evaluate key business decisions related to its principal business activities: the discovery, development, manufacture, marketing and sale of innovative biologic therapies. BioMarin also uses Non-GAAP Income internally to understand, manage and evaluate its business and to make operating decisions, and compensation of executives is based in part on this measure. Because these Non-GAAP metrics are important internal measurements for BioMarin, the company believes that providing this information in conjunction with BioMarin's GAAP information enhances investors' and analysts' ability to meaningfully compare the company's results from period to period and to its forward-looking guidance, and to identify operating trends in the company's principal business.
Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to comparable GAAP measures and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors should note that the Non-GAAP information is not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and does not reflect all of the amounts associated with the company's results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. Investors should also note that these Non-GAAP financial measures have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and, therefore, have limits in their usefulness to investors. In addition, from time to time in the future there may be other items that the company may exclude for purposes of its Non-GAAP financial measures; likewise, the company may in the future cease to exclude items that it has historically excluded for purposes of its Non-GAAP financial measures. Because of the non-standardized definitions, the Non-GAAP financial measure as used by BioMarin in this press release and the accompanying tables may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be directly comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.
The following tables present the reconciliation of GAAP reported to Non-GAAP adjusted financial information:

ReNU syndrome was discovered in 2024 and there are no medicines approved for the condition
Collaboration combines BioMarin's leadership in genetic medicines with n-Lorem's pioneering antisense expertise
Investigational antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) aims to address the underlying genetic cause of this serious neurodevelopmental condition
, /PRNewswire/ -- BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (Nasdaq: BMRN) and n-Lorem Foundation, a nonprofit organization, today announced a strategic collaboration and global exclusive license agreement to develop a first-in-disease, antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) medicine for people living with ReNU syndrome, a serious and rare neurodevelopmental condition caused by variants in the RNU4-2 gene.
Under the agreement, BioMarin and n-Lorem will collaborate to advance an investigational ASO candidate targeting the RNU4-2 (n.64_65insT) variant, which is estimated to account for approximately 75% of ReNU syndrome cases. ReNU syndrome was first discovered in 2024 by an international team of geneticists led by Dr. Nicola Whiffin at the University of Oxford's Big Data Institute and Dr. Ernest Turro at the Mt. Sinai Icahn School of Medicine. There are currently no approved medicines that address the underlying cause of disease.
Both BioMarin and n-Lorem will conduct preclinical studies and collaborate to select the lead candidate to move forward in clinical studies.
"ReNU syndrome was identified as a distinct genetic condition in 2024, thanks in large part to the pioneering efforts of families, advocates and researchers who helped raise awareness and accelerate understanding of this condition," said Kevin Eggan, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer at BioMarin. "For many families, a ReNU diagnosis can finally provide answers, but currently there are no approved medicines that address the underlying cause of the disease. By combining BioMarin's expertise in genetic medicines with n-Lorem's pioneering antisense capabilities, we aim to bring the first treatment option for people living with ReNU syndrome."
The n-Lorem Foundation typically focuses on conditions with a very small number of individuals (approximately 30 people or less) worldwide. When a program has the potential to reach a broader population, the foundation seeks a partner such as BioMarin to support development. In the case of ReNU syndrome, the foundation began its program and accepted a number of patients with RNU4-2 to initiate individualized clinical trials in the coming months. Through this new collaboration, BioMarin will lead the development of the investigational medicine for the wider ReNU syndrome community.
"We are proud to partner with BioMarin, a company that shares our urgency and has the scientific, clinical, and commercial expertise to bring this innovative new medicine to better help people living with ReNU Syndrome globally," said Stanley T. Crooke, M.D., Ph.D., Founder, Chairman and CEO of n-Lorem.

About n-Lorem
n-Lorem Foundation is a non-profit organization established to apply the efficiency, versatility and specificity of antisense technology to charitably provide experimental antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) medicines to treat nano-rare patients diagnosed with diseases that are the result of a single genetic defect unique to only one or very few individuals. Nano-rare patients describe a very small group of patients (1-30 worldwide) who, because of their small numbers, have few if any treatment options. n-Lorem Foundation was created to provide hope to these nano-rare patients by developing individualized ASO medicines, which are short strands of modified DNA that can specifically target the transcripts of a defective gene to correct the abnormality. The advantage of experimental ASO medicines is that they can be developed rapidly, inexpensively and are highly specific. To date, n-Lorem received over 475 applications for treatment with more than 275 nano-rare patients approved. n-Lorem was founded by Stanley T. Crooke, M.D., Ph.D., former chairman and CEO of Ionis Pharmaceuticals, who founded Ionis Pharmaceuticals in 1989 and, through his vision and leadership, established the company as the leader in RNA-targeted therapeutics.

Application based on long-term safety and efficacy data from three ongoing studies, including adult height and additional clinical outcomes beyond linear growth, including body proportionality and arm span evaluated over long-term follow-up
FDA PDUFA target action date of Feb. 28, 2027
, /PRNewswire/ -- BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (Nasdaq: BMRN) today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted the company's supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) for VOXZOGO® (vosoritide) for full approval in children with achondroplasia. The FDA has set a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) target action date of Feb. 28, 2027.
"This submission for VOXZOGO is supported by the largest body of evidence for any medicine in achondroplasia, reflecting BioMarin's long-standing commitment to advancing the science of skeletal growth. The clinical data demonstrate meaningful improvements across multiple skeletal growth-related measures beyond annualized growth velocity in children with this condition," said Greg Friberg, M.D., Executive Vice President and Chief Research & Development Officer at BioMarin. "If approved, VOXZOGO would be the first therapy for achondroplasia to convert from accelerated approval to traditional approval based on a comprehensive clinical data package, including adult height outcomes and other clinical measures evaluated over extended follow-up."
The sNDA submission was supported by substantial long-term safety and efficacy data from three ongoing studies (111-205, 111-208 and 111-302), including clinically meaningful results in growth and improvements across key skeletal growth-related measures, including proportionality and arm span. The full package submitted to the FDA included the longest efficacy and safety data of any medicine studied in achondroplasia.
VOXZOGO received FDA accelerated approval in 2021, a pathway enabling faster patient access based on measures reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit. This sNDA is intended to fulfill the postmarketing requirement to confirm that benefit and convert to full approval, supported by long-term data from three ongoing studies demonstrating clinically meaningful improvements in growth and skeletal health outcomes in children with achondroplasia.
About Achondroplasia
Achondroplasia, the most common form of skeletal dysplasia leading to disproportionate short stature in humans, is characterized by slowing of endochondral ossification, which results in disproportionate short stature and disordered architecture in the long bones, spine, face and base of the skull. This condition is caused by a change in the FGFR3 gene, a negative regulator of bone growth.
More than 80% of children with achondroplasia have parents of average stature and have the condition as the result of a spontaneous gene mutation. The worldwide incidence rate of achondroplasia is about one in 25,000 live births. VOXZOGO is being tested in children whose growth plates are still "open," typically those under 18 years of age. Approximately 25% of people with achondroplasia fall into this category.
For more information about our clinical trials in achondroplasia, hypochondroplasia and other skeletal conditions, please visit clinicaltrials.biomarin.com.
About VOXZOGO (vosoritide)
In children with achondroplasia, endochondral bone growth, an essential process by which bone tissue is created, is negatively regulated due to a gain of function mutation in FGFR3. VOXZOGO, a C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) analog, acts as a positive regulator of the signaling pathway downstream of FGFR3 to promote endochondral bone growth.
VOXZOGO is the only approved medicine to support the growth of children with achondroplasia starting from birth, with international consensus guidelines recommending initiation of VOXZOGO as early as possible. First approved in 2021, VOXZOGO has helped more than 5,000 infants and children in more than 50 countries. Through our ongoing studies, BioMarin continues to evaluate VOXZOGO on key clinical endpoints relevant for achondroplasia patients, such as arm span, tibial bowing (leg bowing), body proportionality, spinal morphology (including spinal stenosis) and quality of life measures.
VOXZOGO is approved in the U.S., Japan and Australia to increase linear growth in children of all ages with achondroplasia with open epiphyses, and VOXZOGO is indicated in the EU for the treatment of achondroplasia in children 4 months of age and older whose epiphyses are not closed, as confirmed by appropriate genetic testing. In the U.S., this indication is approved under accelerated approval based on an improvement in annualized growth velocity. Continued approval may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in confirmatory trial(s). To fulfill this post-marketing requirement, BioMarin intends to use the ongoing open-label extension studies compared to available natural history.
Patient Support Accessing VOXZOGO
BioMarin's robust support services have ensured a seamless treatment experience, spearheaded by Clinical Coordinators, who have conducted hundreds of trainings for families with achondroplasia since approval. BioMarin provides resources to support families navigating achondroplasia, including a caregiver mentorship program that connects parents with other caregivers, and a U.S. doctor directory that helps families and healthcare professionals identify clinicians experienced in achondroplasia care.
