BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (Nasdaq: BMRN) today announced financial results for the first quarter of 2011. GAAP net loss was $4.4 million ($0.04 per diluted share) for the first quarter of 2011, compared to GAAP net income of $1.2 million ($0.01 per diluted share) for the first quarter of 2010. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was $17.3 million ($0.14 per diluted share) for the first quarter of 2011, compared to non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of $14.8 million ($0.14 per diluted share) for the first quarter of 2010. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA excludes depreciation and amortization, contingent consideration expense, interest income and expense, income taxes, stock compensation expense and material non-recurring items. The reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the GAAP net income in the first quarter of 2011 is detailed in the table provided near the end of the press release.
As of March 31, 2011, BioMarin had cash, cash equivalents and short and long-term investments totaling $394.0 million, as compared to $402.3 million as of December 31, 2010. Cash and investment balances declined $8.3 million in the first quarter of 2011 due primarily to the timing of cash receipts that were collected in early April. For 2011, the company expects to remain cash flow neutral to slightly positive.
"Our clinical pipeline is advancing with more programs in the clinic than ever in the history of the company," said Jean-Jacques Bienaime, Chief Executive Officer of BioMarin. "We saw a strong quarter from our commercial business, driven in part by the timing of a Naglazyme order from Brazil early in the quarter, along with consistent new patient adds around the world. We remain focused on growing the commercial business and the successful advancement of our pipeline projects."

Research and Development Programs
BioMarin continues to make significant investments in research and development to ensure persistent growth of the company. The current pipeline includes programs in various stages of development that are focused on treating a range of serious unmet medical needs.
Advanced Clinical Programs
- GALNS for MPS IVA: BioMarin is enrolling patients in the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase III study with primary endpoint of six-minute walk distance, 24 weeks in treatment duration and treatment doses of two mg/kg/week and two mg/kg/every other week. The company expects to enroll approximately 160 patients across 40 centers worldwide and to report top-line results in the second half of 2012.
- Kuvan Outcomes Study: PKU-016, a randomized, placebo-controlled, 13-week Kuvan outcomes study is ongoing. Endpoints include clinically validated measures of neuropsychiatric symptoms and if successful, may enable a label amendment. The company expects to report top-line results in the second half of 2012.
- Hand-Held Blood Phe Monitor: Several programs are underway to expand and protect the market and to improve the ability of healthcare providers and patients to better manage PKU. Regulatory approval and commercial availability of the handheld blood Phe monitor are expected in the first half of 2012.
- Firdapse: BioMarin expects to initiate a Phase III trial for LEMS in the U.S. in the second quarter of 2011.
Mid-Stage Clinical Programs
- PEG-PAL for PKU: Top-line results for the Phase II study, including a study comparing daily and weekly dosing and a formulation study are expected in the third quarter of 2011. The company expects to initiate a Phase III trial in the first quarter of 2012.
Early-Stage Clinical Programs
- BMN-673 (PARP inhibitor): The company initiated a Phase I/II trial in the first quarter of 2011. The trial is an open-label study of once daily, orally administered BMN-673 in patients ages 18 and older with advanced or recurrent solid tumors. The primary objective of the study is to establish the maximum tolerated dose of daily oral BMN-673 and to obtain preliminary efficacy data in an expanded cohort of patients with genetically-defined tumors.
- BMN-701 for Pompe Disease: BioMarin initiated a Phase I/II trial in Pompe patients in the first quarter of 2011. The trial is an open-label study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamic and clinical activity of BMN-701 administered as an intravenous infusion every two weeks at doses of 5 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg and 20 mg/kg. The company expects to enroll up to 30 patients between the ages of 13 and 65 years old with late-onset Pompe disease for a treatment period of 24 weeks. The primary objective of the study is to establish the maximum tolerated dose of every other week administration of BMN-701 and to treat an expanded cohort of patients at the maximum tolerated dose. Top-line results are expected in the second half of 2012.
Preclinical Programs
- BMN-111 for Achondroplasia: BioMarin expects to initiate a Phase I trial by the first quarter of 2012. BMN-111 is an analog of C-type Natriuretic Peptide (CNP), a small cyclic peptide that is a positive regulator of bone growth, for achondroplasia, the most common form of dwarfism. There are approximately between 18,000 and 24,000 patients in the U.S. and Europe, 25 percent of which is the estimated addressable market.
- Other early stage programs: BioMarin is working on multiple early development opportunities.
Non-GAAP Financial Information and Reconciliation
The above results for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010 and financial guidance for the year ending December 31, 2011 are presented both as determined in accordance with GAAP and on a non-GAAP basis. As used in this release, non-GAAP income is based on GAAP Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) adjusted to exclude non-cash stock compensation expense, contingent consideration expense and certain nonrecurring material items (adjusted EBITDA).
The following tables detail the reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP financial metrics:

BioMarin believes that this non-GAAP information is useful to investors, taken in conjunction with BioMarin's GAAP information because it provides additional information regarding the performance of BioMarin's core ongoing business, Naglazyme, Kuvan, Aldurazyme and Firdapse and development of its pipeline. By providing information about both the overall GAAP financial performance and the non-GAAP measures that focus on continuing operations, the company believes that the additional information enhances investors' overall understanding of the company's business and prospects for the future. Further, the company uses both the GAAP and the non-GAAP results and expectations internally for its operating, budgeting and financial planning purposes and uses the adjusted EBITDA methodology in establishing corporate goals for internal compensation programs.
Diluted Earnings Per Share Calculation
As of March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010, the shares related to our outstanding convertible debt are 19.1 million and 26.3 million, respectively. The calculation of non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010 includes the 19.1 million shares and the 10.3 million shares, respectively, related to the company's convertible debt, as their impact is considered dilutive.
