BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (NASDAQ: BMRN) (BioMarin or the Company) today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019.
Total Net Product Revenues for the first quarter 2019 increased to $394.5 million, compared to $369.1 million for the first quarter of 2018. Net Product Revenues Marketed by BioMarin increased to $349.2 million, compared to $303.0 million for the first quarter of 2018. The increase in Net Product Revenues Marketed by BioMarin was attributed to the following:
Aldurazyme Net Product Revenues decreased $20.8 million, or 31%, due to timing of shipments to Genzyme. Under the new revenue standards adopted in 2018, the Company records Aldurazyme Net Product Revenues when the product is released and control is transferred to Genzyme based on the estimated variable consideration payable it expects to earn when the product is sold through by Genzyme. Aldurazyme net product sales reported by Genzyme increased to $75.7 million, or up 20% in the first quarter of 2019, compared to $62.9 million the same period in 2018.
The increase in GAAP Net Loss for the first quarter of 2019, compared to the same period in 2018 was primarily due to the following:
Non-GAAP Income for the first quarter of 2019 increased $3.5 million, or 16%, to $24.8 million, compared to $21.3 million for the same period in 2018. The increase in Non-GAAP Income for the quarter was attributed to increased gross profit from sales partially offset by higher SG&A expenses as described above.
As of March 31, 2019, BioMarin had cash, cash equivalents and investments totaling approximately $1.2 billion, as compared to $1.3 billion on December 31, 2018.
Commenting on first quarter results, Jean-Jacques Bienaimé, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of BioMarin, said, "We begin 2019 well-positioned for potential significant achievements across our late-stage product pipeline, as well as record Total Revenues for the full year. Starting with valoctocogene roxaparvovec gene therapy for severe hemophilia A, our pivotal study is on track to complete enrollment in the third quarter. Based on draft guidance from the FDA for hemophilia gene therapy products published in 2018, we have the opportunity to pursue a potential accelerated approval path forward based on Factor VIII activity results from a subset of Phase 3 subjects. Based on the results from the subset of Phase 3 subjects, we will make and communicate our decision on whether or not to pursue an accelerated approval before the end of the year. We have observed a high level of interest and enthusiasm from the hemophilia community in support of valoctocogene roxaparvovec and are hopeful that it will be a potential treatment option for these patients in the very near future."
Mr. Bienaimé continued, "We have a number of other exciting catalysts on the horizon including the potential approval and launch of Palynziq in Europe later this year. We have been thrilled with the pace of the U.S. launch, as we ended the first quarter with 414 patients on reimbursed Palynziq. Building on this success and as part of our strategy to increase our leadership in the PKU market, we anticipate filing an IND for BMN 307, our gene therapy product for PKU, in the second half of 2019. BMN 307 demonstrated lifetime normalization of Phe in a validated PKU mouse model, and as a result we believe it has the potential to be an important new treatment and market expander as part of our PKU franchise. Finally, we look forward with great anticipation to the results of our global Phase 3 program with vosoritide for the treatment of achondroplasia. Our ongoing Phase 2 study has so far demonstrated an average additional cumulative height gain of 5.7 centimeters over 42 months. Based on data observed to date, we are very encouraged that vosoritide could potentially be the first approved treatment option for children with achondroplasia."

Non-GAAP Information
The results presented in this press release include both GAAP information and Non-GAAP information. As used in this release, Non-GAAP Income is defined by the Company as GAAP Net Loss excluding net interest expense, provision for (benefit from) income taxes, depreciation expense, amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, contingent consideration expense and, in certain periods, certain other specified items, as detailed below when applicable. In addition, BioMarin includes in this press release the effects of these adjustments on certain components of GAAP Net Loss for each of the periods presented. In this regard, Non-GAAP Income and its components, including Non-GAAP Cost of Sales, Non-GAAP Research and Development expenses, Non-GAAP Selling, General and Administrative expense, Non-GAAP Intangible Asset Amortization and Contingent Consideration, Non-GAAP Gain on the Sale of Intangible Asset and Non-GAAP Benefit From Income Taxes are statement of operations line items prepared on the same basis as, and therefore components of, the overall Non-GAAP measures.
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. Because Non-GAAP Income and its components 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. 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.
Non-GAAP Income and its components are not meant to be considered in isolation, 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 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 measures; likewise, the Company may in the future cease to exclude items that it has historically excluded for purposes of its Non-GAAP measures. Because of the non-standardized definitions, the Non-GAAP 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 table presents the reconciliation of GAAP Net Loss to Non-GAAP Income:
