- The Amicus integration is progressing ahead of expectations, with projected peak revenue of $1.4 billion for GALAFOLD and $1.2 billion for POMBILITI/OPFOLDA, plus approximately $220 million in annual cost synergies by 2028. Management expects meaningful EPS accretion beginning in 2027 and deleveraging roughly one year earlier than previously anticipated.
- VOXZOGO revenue increased 14% year over year, while treated children grew more than 20% globally despite a new U.S. competitor. Approximately 90% of U.S. patients remained on therapy, and BioMarin submitted a supplemental application for hypochondroplasia approval, potentially supporting a 2027 launch.
- BioMarin added BMN 820, an oral CCR2 inhibitor in Phase III development for focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, to its late-stage pipeline. The company also expects to pursue additional clinical-stage business-development opportunities over the next 12 to 18 months.
