Forward Guidance
BioMarin reaffirmed its full-year 2024 total revenue guidance of $2.7 billion to $2.8 billion and raised its non-GAAP operating margin guidance to 24% to 25% and non-GAAP diluted EPS guidance to $2.75 to $2.95.
Positive Outlook
- VOXZOGO growth driven by new patients initiating therapy across all regions.
- Higher PALYNZIQ product revenues driven by sales volume growth in the U.S.
- Acceleration of three highest value R&D programs.
- Planned reductions in R&D expense.
- Strong performance in the first quarter underscored BioMarin’s execution of its financial strategy to drive year-over-year Non-GAAP Operating Margin expansion and Non-GAAP EPS growth twice as fast as revenues.
Challenges Ahead
- Lower NAGLAZYME product revenues due to timing of orders in countries that place large government orders.
- Lower KUVAN product revenues attributed to continued generic competition.
- Reimbursement and market access challenges continued to impact the ability of interested patients to receive ROCTAVIAN treatment.
- Discontinuation of four R&D programs.
- The company's updated full-year 2024 guidance does not reflect the impact of potential additional future business decisions that may result from its ongoing strategic business review.
