[8-K] BIOMARIN PHARMACEUTICAL INC Reports Material Event

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

BioMarin Pharmaceuticals filed an 8-K disclosing its use and definition of Non-GAAP Diluted EPS and related Non-GAAP measures. The filing explains Non-GAAP Diluted EPS as Non-GAAP Income divided by Non-GAAP weighted-average diluted shares outstanding, and defines reconciling adjustments that may exclude amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense and certain other specified items, plus an estimated tax impact for those adjustments. The company says it uses both GAAP and Non-GAAP results internally to assess operating performance and guide business decisions in its core activities: discovery, development, manufacture, marketing and sale of biologic therapies. The filing cautions that these measures are not prepared under GAAP, have no standardized meaning, and may be calculated differently than similarly named metrics at other companies.

Positive

• Provides explicit definitions for Non-GAAP Diluted EPS components, aiding clarity
• States the purpose of Non-GAAP measures for internal performance assessment and decision-making

Negative

• No numeric reconciliations are included here, limiting ability to quantify adjustments
• Warns Non-GAAP lacks standardization and may not be comparable to peers

Insights

Financial Reporting Analyst

Clear definitions improve transparency but carry comparability limits.

The 8-K explicitly defines Non-GAAP Diluted EPS components and enumerates typical reconciling items such as amortization and stock-based compensation, plus tax adjustments. That level of definition helps readers map Non-GAAP figures back to GAAP results when line-item detail is available.

Key dependencies include the exact reconciling amounts and periods, which are not provided here; without numeric reconciling schedules, the usefulness for valuation or trend analysis is limited. Investors should watch for accompanying reconciliation tables in future reports or press releases to quantify the impact on reported earnings and share counts.

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

Estimated Third Quarter 2025 Acquired In-Process Research and Development (IPR&D) Charges

In connection with its previously announced acquisition of Inozyme Pharma, Inc. on July 1, 2025, BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (BioMarin) expects that its reported financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and its Non-GAAP financial results for the third quarter of 2025 will include acquired IPR&D charges of approximately $221 million on a pre-tax basis, representing a charge of approximately $1.10 to both GAAP Diluted earnings per share (EPS) and Non-GAAP Diluted EPS. BioMarin’s results for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, have not been finalized and are subject to BioMarin’s financial statement closing procedures. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from the preliminary estimates described herein. The preliminary, unaudited financial information in this Current Report on Form 8-K (this Report) does not present all information necessary for a complete understanding of BioMarin’s results for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, and should not be viewed as a substitute for full financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

As previously disclosed, while acquired IPR&D charges may be incurred upon execution of acquisitions, collaborations, licensing agreements, and other business development transactions, BioMarin does not forecast acquired IPR&D charges at the time of execution of such agreements due to the uncertainty of the future occurrence, magnitude, and timing of these transactions in any given period.

The information in this Report shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that section or Sections 11 and 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Report contains forward-looking statements about, among other things, BioMarin’s anticipated acquired IPR&D charges for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, and the related impact to BioMarin’s GAAP Diluted EPS and Non-GAAP Diluted EPS. These forward-looking statements are predictions and involve risks and uncertainties such that actual results may differ materially from these statements. These risks and uncertainties include, among others, additional procedures BioMarin will undertake to finalize its results for the period that could result in changes to BioMarin's preliminary estimates described herein and those detailed in BioMarin’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, without limitation, the factors contained under the caption “Risk Factors” in BioMarin’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, as such factors may be updated by any subsequent reports. Investors are urged not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. BioMarin is under no obligation, and expressly disclaims any obligation to update or alter any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Non-GAAP Information

This Report references Non-GAAP Diluted EPS, which is a financial measure that is not calculated in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP Diluted EPS is defined by BioMarin as Non-GAAP Income divided by Non-GAAP Weighted-Average Diluted Shares Outstanding. Non-GAAP Weighted-Average Diluted Shares Outstanding is defined by BioMarin as GAAP Weighted-Average Diluted Shares Outstanding, adjusted to include any common shares issuable under BioMarin’s equity plans and convertible debt in periods when they are dilutive under Non-GAAP. Non-GAAP Income is defined by BioMarin as GAAP Net Income excluding amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense and, in certain periods, certain other specified items. BioMarin also includes a Non-GAAP adjustment for the estimated tax impact of the reconciling items. 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 such Non-GAAP metrics are important internal measurements for BioMarin, BioMarin believes that providing this information in conjunction with BioMarin’s GAAP information enhances investors’ and analysts’ ability to meaningfully compare BioMarin’s results from period to period and to its forward-looking guidance, and to identify operating trends in BioMarin’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 BioMarin’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 BioMarin may exclude for purposes of its Non-GAAP financial measures; likewise, BioMarin 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 Report may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be directly comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.
