Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) is intended to help the reader understand our results of operations and financial condition. The MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and other disclosures included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including the disclosures under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. These risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ significantly from those projected in forward-looking statements contained in this report or implied by past results and trends. Forward-looking statements are statements that attempt to forecast or anticipate future developments in our business, financial condition or results of operations. See the section titled “Forward-Looking Statements” that appears at the beginning of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. These statements, like all statements in this report, speak only as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K (unless another date is indicated), and, except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise these statements in light of future developments. Our Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with United States (U.S.) generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and are presented in U.S. Dollars (USD).

Uncertainty Relating to Macroeconomic Environment
Conditions in the current macroeconomic environment, such as inflation, changes in interest and foreign currency exchange rates, natural disasters, geopolitical instability, impact of new or increased tariffs and escalating trade tensions, regulatory uncertainty, and supply chain disruptions, could impact our global revenue sources and our overall business operations. The extent and duration of such effects remain uncertain and difficult to predict. We are actively monitoring and managing our response and assessing actual and potential impacts to our operating results and financial condition, as well as developments in our business, which could further impact the developments, trends and expectations described below. See the risk factor, “Our business is affected by macroeconomic conditions.” described in “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Business Developments
In 2025, we achieved $3.2 billion in total revenues, including a significant contribution from our ongoing expansion of VOXZOGO, and we continued to grow our commercial business and advance our product candidate pipeline. We believe that the combination of our internal research programs and partnerships and acquisitions of external assets will allow us to continue to develop and commercialize innovative therapies for people with serious and life-threatening rare diseases and medical conditions. We periodically conduct strategic portfolio assessment of research and development programs to determine which we believe have the strongest combination of scientific merit, opportunity for commercial success and potential value creation for stockholders. Based on such strategic portfolio assessments, certain programs that do not meet its threshold for further development and commercialization could be discontinued.
In December 2025, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Amicus Therapeutics, Inc. (Amicus), a publicly traded, global, biotechnology company for $14.50 per share in an all-cash transaction for a total consideration of approximately $4.8 billion. The pending acquisition is expected to strengthen our commercial portfolio by adding two new therapies for the treatment of Fabry disease and late-onset Pompe disease. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2026, subject to regulatory clearances, approval by the stockholders of Amicus and other customary closing conditions. We intend to finance the transaction through a combination of cash on hand and approximately $3.7 billion of non-convertible debt financing.
In December 2025, we entered into a debt financing commitment letter (the Commitment Letter) and related fee letter with certain lenders, pursuant to which the lenders have committed to provide us with debt financing up to approximately $3.7 billion (the Bridge Commitment) in the form of a 364-day senior secured bridge loan facility (Bridge Facility) for the pending acquisition of Amicus. No amounts had been drawn or were outstanding under the Bridge Commitment as of December 31, 2025. In February 2026, we issued $850.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.5% senior unsecured notes due 2034 (the 2034 Notes), and the proceeds from the issuance were deposited into an escrow account that will be used to finance the pending acquisition of Amicus. In connection with the issuance of the 2034 Notes, the Bridge Commitment was reduced from approximately $3.7 billion to $2.8 billion. In place of the Bridge Facility, we also expect to enter into a senior secured term loan facility for approximately $2.8 billion in aggregate principal and a new $600.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility in 2026 that will be executed prior to or concurrently with the closing of the pending Amicus acquisition. See "Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources" below for additional information.
In October 2025, we announced our plan to pursue options to divest ROCTAVIAN, including exploring out-licensing opportunities. Subsequently in December 2025, we committed to a plan to voluntarily withdraw ROCTAVIAN from the market due to lower than previously anticipated commercial opportunities. In connection with this strategic decision, we recorded approximately $240.0 million of restructuring charges in 2025 comprised of an inventory write-off, impairment of long-lived assets, severance and other costs. See Note 19 to our accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details.
In July 2025, we completed the acquisition of Inozyme Pharma, Inc. (Inozyme), a publicly traded clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to developing innovative therapeutics. The acquisition is intended to strengthen our enzyme therapies portfolio by adding a late-stage enzyme replacement therapy, BMN 401 (formerly INZ-701), for the treatment of ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1 (ENPP1) deficiency. We accounted for this transaction as an asset acquisition since the lead asset, BMN 401, represents substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired. See Note 20 to our accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to Inozyme acquisition.

Results of Operations
Net Product Revenues
Net Product Revenues consisted of the following:
Twelve Months EndedDecember 31,
Enzyme Therapies:
Net Product Revenues include revenues generated from our commercial products. In the U.S., our commercial products, except for PALYNZIQ and ALDURAZYME, are generally sold to specialty pharmacies or end users, such as hospitals, which act as retailers. PALYNZIQ is distributed in the U.S. through certain certified specialty pharmacies under the PALYNZIQ Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy program, and ALDURAZYME is marketed worldwide by Sanofi. Outside the U.S., our commercial products are sold to authorized distributors or directly to government purchasers or hospitals, which act as the end users.
The increase in Net Product Revenues in 2025 as compared to 2024 was primarily attributed to the following:
•VOXZOGO: higher sales volume from new patients initiating therapy across all regions;
•PALYNZIQ: higher sales volume from new patients initiating therapy, primarily in the U.S.;
•VIMIZIM: higher sales volume due to timing of orders in countries that place large government orders, primarily from countries in the Middle East and Latin America;
•ALDURAZYME: higher sales volume due to timing of order fulfillment to Sanofi as we recognize ALDURAZYME revenues when the product is released and control is transferred to Sanofi; and
•BRINEURA: higher sales volume from new patients initiating therapy, primarily in the U.S. and Latin America.
These increases were partially offset by the following:
•KUVAN: lower product revenues attributed to increasing generic competition as a result of the loss of market exclusivity.
In certain countries, governments place large periodic orders for our products. We expect that the timing of these large government orders will continue to be inconsistent, which has created in the past and may continue to create significant period to period variation in our revenues.
With respect to VOXZOGO, see also the risk factor “Our success depends on our ability to manage our growth and execute our corporate strategy.” in "Risk Factors" included in Part I, Item 1Aof this Annual Report for additional information on risk factors that could impact our business and operations.
We face exposure to movements in foreign currency exchange rates, and use foreign currency exchange forward contracts to hedge a percentage of our foreign currency exposure, primarily the Euro. Certain currencies are not included in our hedging program, such as the Argentine Peso. With respect to the risks posed by fluctuations of both hedged and unhedged currencies against the USD, see the risk factor “Our international operations pose currency risks, which may adversely affect our

operating results and net income” in “Risk Factors” included in Part I, Item 1Aof this Annual Report for additional information. The following table shows our Net Product Revenues denominated in USD and foreign currencies:
Twelve Months EndedDecember 31,
Twelve Months EndedDecember 31,
The unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates on USD reported results in 2025 was primarily driven by weakening of the Argentine Peso, Brazilian Real and Mexican Peso, partially offset by strengthening of the Euro. The unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates on USD reported results in 2024 was primarily driven by weakening of the Argentine Peso and the Japanese Yen.
See “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in Part II, Item 7A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and the risk factor “Our international operations pose currency risks, which may adversely affect our operating results and net income” in “Risk Factors” included in Part I, Item 1A of this Annual Report for information on currency exchange rate risk related to our Net Product Revenues.
Cost of Sales and Gross Margin
Cost of Sales includes raw materials, personnel, facility and other costs associated with manufacturing our commercial products. These costs include production materials, production costs at our manufacturing facilities, third-party manufacturing costs, amortization of technology transfer intangible assets and internal and external final formulation and packaging costs. Cost of Sales also includes royalties payable to third parties based on sales of our products, idle plant costs and charges for inventory write downs.
The following table summarizes our Cost of Sales and gross margin:
Twelve Months EndedDecember 31,
Cost of Sales increased in 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to $119.2 million write-off of ROCTAVIAN inventory as a result of our strategic decision in the fourth quarter of 2025 to voluntarily withdraw ROCTAVIAN from the market. Gross margin decreased in 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to ROCTAVIAN inventory write-off, partially offset by increased sales volume of higher-margin products within our Enzyme Therapies portfolio.
Research and Development
R&D expense includes costs associated with the research and development of product candidates and post-marketing research commitments related to our commercial products. R&D expense primarily includes preclinical and clinical studies, personnel and raw materials costs associated with manufacturing clinical product, quality control and assurance, other R&D activities, R&D facilities and regulatory costs.
67
Table of Contents
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
(In millions of U.S. Dollars, except as otherwise disclosed)
We group all of our R&D activities and related expense into three categories: (i) Research and early pipeline, (ii) Later-stage clinical programs and (iii) Marketed products as follows:
Category Description
We manage our R&D expense by identifying the R&D activities we anticipate will be performed during a given period and then prioritizing efforts based on scientific data, probability of successful development, market potential, available human and capital resources and other similar considerations. We continually review our product pipeline and the development status of product candidates and, as necessary, reallocate resources among the research and development portfolio that we believe will best support the future growth of our business.
We continuously evaluate the recoverability of costs associated with pre-launch or pre-qualification manufacturing activities, if any, and capitalize the costs incurred related to those activities if we determine that recoverability is probable and therefore future revenues are expected. If the related product candidate's marketing application is rejected by the applicable regulators and the likelihood of future revenues for a product candidate become uncertain, the related manufacturing costs are expensed as R&D expenses.
R&D expense consisted of the following:
Twelve Months EndedDecember 31,
R&D expense increased in 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to higher spend on Later-stage clinical programs as a result of the $221.0 million In-Process Research and Development (IPR&D) charge following the Inozyme acquisition and continued progression of VOXZOGO for hypochondroplasia. These increases were partially offset by lower spend on Research and early pipeline due to discontinued programs and lower spend on Marketed products mainly related to ROCTAVIAN.
Selling, General and Administrative
Sales and marketing (S&M) expense primarily consists of employee-related expenses for our sales group, brand marketing, patient support groups and pre-commercialization expenses related to our product candidates. General and administrative (G&A) expense primarily consists of corporate support and other administrative expenses, including employee-related expenses.

(In millions of U.S. Dollars, except as otherwise disclosed)
SG&A expenses consisted of the following:
Twelve Months EndedDecember 31,
S&M expenses by product were as follows:
Twelve Months EndedDecember 31,
The increase in S&M expense for 2025 compared to 2024 was primarily due to increased spending related to global expansion of VOXZOGO for achondroplasia and pre-launch activities on VOXZOGO for hypochondroplasia, and higher spend on demand generating activities for Enzyme Therapies. These increases in S&M spend were partially offset by reduced activities related to ROCTAVIAN as we focused on our commercial efforts in the U.S., Germany and Italy in 2025.
The increase in G&A expense for 2025 compared to 2024 was primarily due to $118.5 million of restructuring charges related to impairment of long-lived assets as a result of our strategic decision in the fourth quarter of 2025 to voluntarily withdraw ROCTAVIAN from the market, and partially due to incremental administrative costs related to ongoing support of business initiatives during the year. These increases were partially offset by bad debt expense recorded in the fourth quarter of 2024 that did not recur in 2025.
Intangible Asset Amortization and Gain on Sale of Nonfinancial Assets
Changes during the periods presented for Intangible Asset Amortization and Gain on Sale of Nonfinancial Assets were as follows:
Twelve Months EndedDecember 31,
Gain on sale of nonfinancial assets $ — $ 10.0 $ — $ (10.0) $ 10.0
Amortization of intangible assets: the decrease in amortization expense for 2025 as compared to 2024 was due to the increase in the estimated useful life of an intangible asset as a result of the extension of a patent during the second half of 2024 and an intangible asset becoming fully amortized during the fourth quarter of 2024.
Gain on Sale of Nonfinancial Assets: in the first quarter of 2024, we recognized a gain of $10.0 million due to a third party’s achievement of a regulatory approval milestone related to previously sold intangible assets.
Interest Income
We invest our cash equivalents and investments in U.S. government securities and other high credit quality debt securities in order to limit default and market risk.
69
Table of Contents
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
(In millions of U.S. Dollars, except as otherwise disclosed)
Twelve Months EndedDecember 31,
Interest Income during 2025 compared to 2024 was relatively flat. We expect Interest Income to decrease over the next 12 months due to lower cash and investment balances as the pending Amicus acquisition will be financed through a combination of cash on hand and non-convertible debt financing.
Interest Expense
We incur interest expense primarily on our convertible debt. Interest Expense for the periods presented was as follows:
Twelve Months EndedDecember 31,
Interest Expense decreased in 2025 as compared to 2024 primarily due to settlement of 2024 Notes that matured in August 2024. We expect Interest Expense to increase over the next 12 months due to financing related to the pending Amicus acquisition, including the 2034 Notes issued on February 12, 2026. See Note20 to our accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding financing related to the pending acquisition of Amicus.
Other Income (Expense), Net
Other Income (Expense), Net for the periods presented was as follows:
Twelve Months EndedDecember 31,
The increase in Other Income (Expense), Net, in 2025 compared to 2024 was primarily due to proceeds from insurance related to damaged goods.
Provision for Income Taxes
Provision for Income Taxes for the periods presented was as follows:
Twelve Months EndedDecember 31,
Our Provision for Income Taxes in 2025 and 2024 consisted of state, federal and foreign current tax expense which was offset by foreign tax credits, and deferred tax benefits from federal orphan drug credits and federal R&D credits. In July 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB Act) was signed into law in the U.S. This legislation includes a broad range of U.S. tax reforms provisions which become effective through 2027. Those effective in 2025 are reflected in our 2025 results. The Provision for Income Taxes in 2025 increased compared to 2024, primarily due to non-deductible acquired IPR&D related to the Inozyme acquisition, tax expense related to the expiration of unexercised options, partially offset by reduction in tax expense as a result of the OBBB Act.
Certain countries in which we have operations, including Ireland, have adopted Pillar Two framework, recently released from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), including a minimum tax rate of 15%. The U.S. has not enacted legislation to adopt the Pillar Two framework. The adoption of the Pillar Two framework did not have a material impact

on our effective tax rate and we plan to continue evaluating additional guidance released by the OECD, along with the pending legislative adoption by additional individual countries.
Results of Operations 2024 Compared to 2023
For a discussion of our results of operations pertaining to 2024 as compared to 2023 see Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 24, 2025).
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our cash, cash equivalents, and investments as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:
Total cash, cash equivalents and investments $ 2,052.8 $ 1,658.9 $ 393.9
We believe cash generated from sales of our commercial products, in addition to our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, including proceeds from the 2034 Notes and external financings, will be sufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements for at least the next 12 months, including our agreement to acquire Amicus in an all-cash transaction. We believe we will meet longer-term expected future cash requirements and obligations through a combination of cash flows from operating activities and available cash and long-term investment balances. We will need to raise additional funds by issuing equity, debt or convertible securities, taking loans or entering into collaborative or other agreements if we are unable to satisfy our liquidity requirements. For example, we may require additional financing to fund the repayment of our outstanding indebtedness, future milestone payments and our future operations, including the commercialization of our products and product candidates currently under development, preclinical studies and clinical trials, and potential licenses and acquisitions. The timing and mix of our funding alternatives could change depending on many factors, including how much we elect to spend on our development programs, potential licenses and acquisitions of complementary technologies, products and companies or if we settle our convertible debt in cash. In addition, depending on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions, and other factors, we may also from time to time seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.
We are mindful that conditions in the current macroeconomic environment, such as inflation, changes in interest and foreign currency exchange rates, natural disasters, geopolitical instability, impact of new or increased tariffs and escalating trade tensions, regulatory uncertainty, and supply chain disruptions could affect our ability to achieve our goals. In addition, we sell our products in certain countries that face economic volatility and weakness. Although we have historically collected receivables from customers in such countries, sustained weakness or further deterioration of the local economies and currencies may cause customers in those countries to be unable to pay for our products. We will continue to monitor these conditions and will attempt to adjust our business processes, as appropriate, to mitigate macroeconomic risks to our business.
Our cash flows for each of the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:
Net cash provided by operating activities $ 828.0 $ 572.8 $ 255.2
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities $ (414.2) $ 136.5 $ (550.7)
Net cash used in financing activities $ (42.4) $ (526.4) $ 484.0
71
Table of Contents
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
(In millions of U.S. Dollars, except as otherwise disclosed)
The increase in net cash provided by operating activities in 2025 compared to 2024 was attributed to increase in net income adjusted for non-cash items mainly related to inventory write-off and asset impairments for ROCTAVIAN and IPR&D charges from Inozyme acquisition, and partially due to the timing of payments to vendors and cash receipts from our customers.
The increase in net cash used in investing activities in 2025 compared to 2024 was primarily attributable to $285.2 million net cash paid for the acquisition of Inozyme, lower net maturities of available-for-sale securities, and higher purchases of property, plant and equipment.
The decrease in net cash used in financing activities in 2025 compared to 2024 was primarily due to $495.0 million settlement of the 2024 Notes that matured in August 2024. The decrease was also attributable to lower proceeds from exercises of equity awards in 2025.
Financing and Credit Facilities
In December 2025, in connection with the pending acquisition of Amicus, we entered into the Commitment Letter and related fee letter with certain lenders, pursuant to which the lenders have committed to the Bridge Commitment, to provide us with debt financing in an aggregate principal amount of up to approximately $3.7 billion in the form of the 364-day senior secured Bridge Facility, subject to customary conditions and entry into definitive financing and ancillary documentation as set forth therein. No amounts had been drawn or were outstanding under the Bridge Commitment as of December 31, 2025.
In February 2026, we issued $850.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2034 Notes, and the proceeds from the issuance were deposited into an escrow account that will be used to finance the pending acquisition of Amicus. In connection with the issuance of the 2034 Notes, the Bridge Commitment was reduced from approximately $3.7 billion to $2.8 billion. In the event that the acquisition is not completed on or prior to December 19, 2026, or upon the occurrence of certain other events, we will be required to redeem all of the 2034 Notes at par and pay any accrued and unpaid interest. In place of the Bridge Facility, we also expect to enter into a senior secured term loan facility for approximately $2.8 billion in aggregate principal and a new $600.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility in 2026 (the New Revolving Facility) that will be executed prior to or concurrently with the closing of the pending Amicus acquisition. Upon entry into the senior secured term loan facility, the remaining Bridge Commitment will be reduced to zero. Under the New Revolving Facility, we may also borrow up to $150 million to pay fees and expenses related to the pending acquisition of Amicus.
Our $600.0 million (undiscounted) of total convertible debt as of December 31, 2025 consisting of our 1.25% senior subordinated convertible notes due in 2027 (the 2027 Notes), will impact our liquidity due to semi-annual cash interest payments and repayment of the principal amount in cash at maturity in May 2027 if not converted.
Our $600.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility (Revolving Facility) as of December 31, 2025 is intended to finance ongoing working capital needs and other general corporate initiatives. The Revolving Facility matures in August 2029 and contains financial covenants including a maximum total net leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio. As of December 31, 2025 there were no amounts outstanding under the Revolving Facility and we were in compliance with all covenants. The New Revolving Facility is expected to replace the existing Revolving Facility.
See Note 10 to our accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion on our convertible debt and credit facility.
Material Cash Requirements
Purchase and Lease Obligations
As of December 31, 2025, we had purchase obligations of approximately $590.8 million, of which $354.1 million is expected to be paid in 2026. Our purchase obligations are primarily related to firm purchase commitments entered into in the normal course of business to procure active pharmaceutical ingredients, certain inventory-related items, certain third-party R&D services, production services and facility construction services.
As of December 31, 2025, we had lease payment obligations of $57.3 million, of which $10.3 million is payable in 2026. See Note 9 to our accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for details on our lease liabilities.
Unrecognized Tax Benefits
As of December 31, 2025, our liability for unrecognized tax benefits was $380.9 million. Due to their nature, we cannot reasonably estimate the timing of future payments. See Note 15 to our accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for a full discussion on our income taxes.

Critical Accounting Estimates
In preparing our Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and pursuant to the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, we make assumptions, judgments and estimates that can have a significant impact on our net income/loss and affect the reported amounts of certain assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and discuss our critical accounting policies and estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Historically, our assumptions, judgments and estimates relative to our critical accounting policies have not differed materially from actual results.
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to our accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We believe the critical accounting estimates below reflect the most critical judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Revenue Recognition and Related Allowances
Net Product Revenues –We recognize revenue when the customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. For ALDURAZYME revenues, we receive a payment ranging from 39.5% to 50% on worldwide net ALDURAZYME sales by Sanofi depending on sales volume, which is included in Net Product Revenues in our Consolidated Statements of Income. We recognize our best estimate of the entire revenue that we expect to receive when the product is released and control is transferred to Sanofi. We record ALDURAZYME net product revenues based on the estimated variable consideration payable when the product is sold through by Sanofi. Differences between the estimated variable consideration to be received and actual payments received are not expected to be material. If actual results vary from our estimates, we will make adjustments, which would affect Net Product Revenues and earnings in the period such variances become known.
Gross-to-Net Sales Adjustments –We record product sales net of estimated mandatory and supplemental discounts to government payers, discounts to private payers and other related charges. Rebates, cash discounts and distributor fees represent the majority of our gross-to-net deductions and are recorded in the same period the related sales occur.Rebates may include amounts paid to Medicaid or other U.S. or foreign government programs, certain managed care providers, or other payers. Rebates, branded co-pay assistance programs, cash discounts and distributor fees are estimates based on contractual arrangements or statutory obligations, which may vary by product and payer. Estimation requiresevaluation of our actual historical experience,customer and payer mix,current contractual and statutory obligations, patient outcomes, specific known market events and trends and industry data.We evaluate our customer and payer mix to estimate which sales will be subject to these revenue dilutive items and consider changes to government program guidelines or contractual obligations that would impact the actual rebates and/or our estimates of which sales qualify for such rebates. Any necessary adjustments to our reserves are made each quarter to reflect current information. We believe the methodologies that we use to estimate allowances are reasonable and appropriate given the facts and circumstances. However, actual results may differ significantly from our estimates.
The following table summarizes the consolidated activities and ending balances of all our gross-to-net sales adjustments:
Income Taxes
We calculate and provide for income taxes in each of the tax jurisdictions in which we operate. Our Consolidated Balance Sheets reflect net deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are measured using enacted tax rates. The net deferred tax assets primarily represent the tax benefit of tax credits and timing differences between book and tax recognition of certain revenue and expense items, net of a valuation allowance. When it is more likely than not that all or some portion of deferred tax assets may not be realized, we establish a valuation allowance for the amount that may not be realized. We utilize financial projections to support our net deferred tax assets, which contain significant assumptions and estimates of future operations. If such assumptions were to differ significantly, it may have a material impact on our ability to realize our net deferred tax assets. Changes in our valuation allowance will result in a change to tax expense.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
(In millions of U.S. Dollars, except as otherwise disclosed)
We establish liabilities or reduce assets for certain tax positions when we believe those certain tax positions are not more likely than not to be sustained if challenged. Each quarter, we evaluate these uncertain tax positions and adjust the related tax assets and liabilities in light of changing facts and circumstances.
We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. and various foreign jurisdictions, including Ireland. Due to economic and political conditions, various countries are actively considering changes to existing tax laws. We cannot predict the form or timing of potential legislative changes that could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations. Management is not aware of any potential changes that would have a material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 15 to our accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion.
Valuation of assets and liabilities in connection with acquisitions
We have acquired and continue to acquire intangible assets in connection with business combinations and asset acquisitions. These intangible assets consists primarily of IPR&D for product candidates. Discounted cash flow models are typically used to determine the fair value of acquired intangible assets for the purposes of allocating consideration paid to the net assets in an acquisition. These models require us to make certain judgments, which include:
•developing appropriate probability of success rates for unapproved product candidates considering their stages of development;
•estimating time and resources needed to complete the development and approval of the product;
•projecting time to approval;
•risks related to the viability of potential alternative treatments in future target markets;
•revenue projections;
•and discount rate.
The judgments made in determining estimated fair values assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in an acquisition, as well as estimated asset lives, can materially affect our consolidated results of operations. The fair values of intangible assets, including acquired IPR&D, are determined using information available near the acquisition date based on estimates and assumptions that are deemed reasonable by management. Depending on the facts and circumstances, we may deem it necessary to engage an independent valuation expert to assist in valuing significant assets and liabilities. The fair values of identifiable intangible assets are primarily determined using the income method.
Impairments of Long-Lived Assets
We assess changes in economic, regulatory and legal conditions and make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows in evaluating the value of our property, plant and equipment, goodwill and other long-lived assets. We periodically evaluate whether current facts or circumstances indicate that the carrying values of our long-lived assets may not be recoverable. Should there be an indication of impairment, we test for recoverability by comparing the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset or asset group and its eventual disposition to the carrying amount of the asset or asset group. Any excess of the carrying value of the asset or asset group over its estimated fair value is recognized as an impairment loss.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 1 to our accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for a full description of recent accounting pronouncements and our expectation of their impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
We are exposed to market risks that may result from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and credit risks. To reduce certain of these risks, we enter into foreign currency derivative hedging transactions, follow investment guidelines and monitor outstanding trade receivables as part of our risk management program.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
Our operations include manufacturing activities in the U.S. and Ireland and sales activities in the U.S. as well as in regions outside the U.S, including Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and Asia Pacific. As a result, our financial results may be significantly affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in the foreign markets in which we sell our products. Our operating results are exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates between the U.S. Dollar (USD) and various foreign currencies, primarily the Euro. When the USD strengthens against these currencies, the relative value of the sales and operating expenses made in the respective foreign currency decreases. Conversely, when the USD weakens against these currencies, the relative value of such sales and operating expenses increases. Overall, we are a net receiver of foreign currencies and, therefore, benefit from a weaker USD and are adversely affected by a stronger USD relative to those foreign currencies in which we transact significant business.
During 2025, approximately 49% of our net product sales were denominated in foreign currencies and 19% of our operating expenses, excluding Cost of Sales, were denominated in foreign currencies. To partially mitigate the impact of changes in currency exchange rates on net cash flows from our foreign currency denominated sales and operating expenses, we enter into foreign currency exchange forward contracts (forward contracts). We also hedge certain monetary assets and liabilities, primarily those denominated in Euros, using forward contracts, which reduces but does not eliminate our exposure to currency fluctuations between the date the transaction is recorded and the date the cash is collected or paid. Generally, the market risks of these contracts are offset by the corresponding gains and losses on the transactions being hedged.
We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative trading purposes, nor do we hedge foreign currency exchange rate exposure in a manner that entirely offsets the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The counterparties to these forward contracts are creditworthy multinational commercial banks, which minimizes the risk of counterparty nonperformance. We regularly review our hedging program and may, as part of this review, make changes to the program.
As of December 31, 2025, we had open forward contracts with net notional amounts of $1.5 billion. A hypothetical 10% adverse movement in foreign currency exchange rates compared with the USD relative to exchange rates as of December 31, 2025 would have resulted in a reduction in the value received over the remaining life of these contracts by approximately $152.9 million on this date and, if realized, would negatively affect earnings during the remaining life of the contracts. The estimated fair value change was determined by measuring the impact of the hypothetical exchange rate movement on outstanding forward contracts. This analysis does not consider the impact of the hypothetical changes in foreign currency rates would have on the forecasted transactions that these foreign currency sensitive instruments were designated to offset. Our use of this methodology to quantify the market risk of such instruments is subject to assumptions and actual impact could be significantly different.
Based on our overall foreign currency denominated exposures as of December 31, 2025, we believe that a near-term 10% fluctuation of the USD exchange rate could result in a potential change in the fair value of our net foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities, excluding our investments and open forward contracts, by approximately $39.6 million. We expect to continue to enter into transactions based in foreign currencies that could be impacted by changes in exchange rates.
Interest Rate Market Risk
Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our investment portfolio, which includes our cash equivalents and marketable debt securities. By policy, we place our investments with highly rated credit issuers and limit the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. As stated in our investment policy, we seek to improve the safety and likelihood of preservation of our invested funds by limiting default risk and market risk.
We mitigate default risk by investing in high credit quality securities and by positioning our portfolio to respond appropriately to a significant reduction in a credit rating of any investment issuer or guarantor. The portfolio includes only marketable securities with active secondary or resale markets to ensure portfolio liquidity.
As of December 31, 2025, our investment portfolio did not include any investments with significant exposure to countries that face economic volatility and weakness. Although not predictive in nature, based on our investment portfolio and interest rates for the period ending December 31, 2025, we believe a 100 basis point increase in interest rates could result in a potential loss in fair value of our investment portfolio of approximately $8.6 million. Changes in interest rates may affect the fair value of our investment portfolio. However, we will not recognize such gains or losses in our Consolidated Statements of Income unless the

investments are sold or we determine that the declines in the investment’s fair values below the cost basis are a result of a credit loss, which, if any, are reported in Other Expense, Net in the current period through an allowance for credit losses.
The table below summarizes the expected maturities and average interest rates of our interest-generating investments as of December 31, 2025 (in millions of U.S. Dollars):
Expected Maturity
We have outstanding $600.0 million (undiscounted) of the 2027 Notes. The interest rate on the 2027 Notes is fixed and therefore does not expose us to risk related to rising interest rates. As of December 31, 2025, the fair value of our convertible debt was $576.3 million.
In February 2026, we issued $850.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.5% senior unsecured notes due in 2034 (the 2034 Notes). The interest rate on the 2034 Notes is fixed and therefore does not expose us to risk related to rising interest rates. See Note 21 to our accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details.
Counterparty Credit Risks
Our financial instruments, including derivatives, are subject to counterparty credit risk that we consider as part of the overall fair value measurement. Our financial risk management policy limits derivative transactions by requiring transactions to be with institutions with minimum credit ratings of A- or equivalent by Standards & Poor’s, Moody's or Fitch. In addition, we have an investment policy that limits investments to certain types of debt and money market instruments issued by institutions primarily with investment grade credit ratings and places restriction on maturities and concentrations by asset class and issuer.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
An evaluation was carried out, under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2025.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting. Under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, our management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act as of December 31, 2025. Our management’s assessment was based on criteria
76
Table of Contents
set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013).
Based on the COSO criteria, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 was effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Our independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP, has audited the financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and has issued a report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. The report of KPMG LLP is incorporated by reference to Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Except as noted below, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting. We continue to utilize the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) 2013 Framework on internal control. We rely extensively on information systems and technology to manage our business, including integrated supply chain operations, and global consolidated financial results.
In January 2025, we began deploying a new global enterprise resource planning (ERP) system at certain subsidiaries, replacing existing operating and financial systems. The new ERP implementation is scheduled to occur in phases through 2026, with post-implementation activities following thereafter. In January 2026, the final phase of deployment was completed. The ERP system is designed to accurately maintain our financial records, support integrated supply chain and other operational functionality, and provide timely information to our management team related to the operation of the business. We have updated our internal control over financial reporting, as necessary, to accommodate related changes in our financial management processes resulting from this implementation. As the implementation and post-implementation activities take place, we will continue to have changes to certain of our processes and procedures, and we will evaluate quarterly whether the changes materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
Scope of the Effectiveness of Controls
Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
•pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of our assets;
•provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and our board of directors; and
•provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Item 9B. Other Information
Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plans
During the three months ended December 31, 2025, none of our directors or officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) under the Exchange Act) adopted or terminated any “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” as those terms are defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K.
Voluntary Withdrawal of ROCTAVIAN from Market
On December 17, 2025, we committed to a plan to voluntarily withdraw ROCTAVIAN from the market due to lower than previously anticipated commercial opportunities. In connection with this strategic decision, we recorded approximately $240.0

BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc.:
Opinions on the Consolidated Financial Statements and Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
Basis for Opinions
The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Evaluation of variable consideration relating to ALDURAZYME product sales
As described in Notes 1 and 12 to the consolidated financial statements, during the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized $208.5 million in ALDURAZYME net product revenue. Under this arrangement with Sanofi, the Company receives payments ranging from 39.5% to 50% on worldwide net ALDURAZYME sales by Sanofi, depending on Sanofi's sales volume. The Company estimates this variable consideration based on the amount that it expects to be entitled to from Sanofi's sales of ALDURAZYME. The Company recognizes this revenue upon satisfying the product performance obligation, which is when the product is shipped to Sanofi and all required quality control certificates are complete.
We identified the evaluation of variable consideration relating to ALDURAZYME net product revenue as a critical audit matter. Evaluating the key assumptions of forecasted Sanofi sales volume and average price per vial involved a high degree of subjective auditor judgment due to the nature of available supporting evidence being limited to Sanofi sales forecasts and historical sales and price data. Changes in these key assumptions could have had a significant impact on ALDURAZYME net product revenue.
The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the Company's process for recognizing ALDURAZYME net product revenue. This included controls over forecasting Sanofi's sales volume and average price per vial used to estimate variable consideration. We evaluated the Company's ability to estimate the variable consideration by comparing historical estimates of sales volume and price per vial to actual current-period sales volume and price per vial of product sold by Sanofi. We also compared the Company's forecasts of future Sanofi sales volume and average price per vial to Sanofi's historical sales volume and price per vial.

(1) BUSINESS OVERVIEW AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations
BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (the Company or BioMarin) is a global biotechnology company dedicated to translating the promise of genetic discovery into medicines that make a profound impact on the life of each patient. The San Rafael, California-based company, founded in 1997, has a proven track record of innovation with eight commercial therapies and a strong clinical and preclinical pipeline. Using a distinctive approach to drug discovery and development, BioMarin pursues treatments that offer new possibilities for patients and families around the world navigating rare or difficult to treat genetic conditions.
Basis of Presentation
These Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared pursuant to United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) for Annual Reports on Form 10-K and include the accounts of BioMarin and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Management performed an evaluation of the Company’s activities through the date of filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, and has concluded that there were no other events or transactions that occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date and prior to the filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K except for the transactions disclosed in Note 21 to these Consolidated Financial Statements.
Use of Estimates
U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying disclosures. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future, actual results may be different from those estimates. The Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of results.
Significant Accounting Policies
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company treats highly liquid investments, readily convertible to cash, with original maturities of three months or less on the purchase date as cash equivalents.
Marketable and Non-Marketable Securities
Marketable Securities
The Company determines the appropriate classification of its investments in debt and equity securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designations at each reporting period. The Company classifies its debt and equity securities with original maturities greater than three months when purchased as either short-term or long-term investments based on each instrument’s underlying contractual maturity date and its availability for use in current operations.
All marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale debt securities are measured and recorded at fair market value with unrealized gains and losses included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (AOCI) on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, with the exception of any declines in fair value below the cost basis that are a result of a credit loss, which, if any, are reported in Other income (expense), net in the current period through an allowance for credit losses. Impairment assessments are made at the individual security level each reporting period. When the fair value of an investment is less than its cost at the balance sheet date, a determination is made as to whether the impairment is related to a credit loss and, if so, an impairment loss is recognized in earnings equal to the difference between the investment’s amortized cost and fair value at such date.
Non-Marketable Equity Securities
The Company records investments in equity securities, other than equity method investments, at fair market value, if fair value is readily determinable. Equity securities with no readily determinable fair values are recorded using the measurement alternative of cost adjusted for observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same

issuer less impairment, if any. Investments in equity securities are recorded in Other Assets on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. Unrealized gains and losses are reported in Other income (expense), net. The Company regularly reviews its non-marketable equity securities for indicators of impairment.
Inventory
The Company values inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The Company determines the cost of inventory using the standard-cost and average-cost methods, which approximates cost based on the first-in, first out (FIFO) method. The Company analyzes its inventory levels quarterly for obsolescence and, if required, adjusts inventory to its net realizable value if the cost basis of inventory is in excess of its expected net realizable value, or for quantities in excess of expected demand. If the Company determines cost exceeds its net realizable value, the resulting adjustments are recognized as Cost of Sales in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the related estimated useful lives, as presented in the table below. Significant additions and improvements are capitalized, whereas repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment are included in Cost of Sales, Research and Development (R&D) and SG&A, as appropriate, in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Property and equipment purchased for specific R&D projects with no alternative future uses are expensed as incurred and recorded to R&D in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Leasehold improvements Shorter of life of asset or lease term
Building and improvements 20 to 50 years
Manufacturing and laboratory equipment 5 to 15 years
Computer hardware and software 3 to 7 years
Office furniture and equipment 5 years
Land improvements 10 to 20 years
Land Not applicable
Construction-in-progress Not applicable
Leases
The Company's lease portfolio primarily consists of leases for properties and equipment for administrative, manufacturing and R&D activities. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at contract inception. For leases where the Company is the lessee, Right of Use (ROU) assets represent the Company’s right to use the underlying asset for the term of the lease and the lease liabilities represent the lease payment obligation. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date of the underlying lease arrangement to determine the present value of lease payments. The ROU asset also includes any prepaid lease payments and any lease incentives received. The lease term to calculate the ROU asset and related lease liability includes options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option. The Company’s lease agreements generally do not contain any material variable lease payments, residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants.
Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term as an operating expense while expense for financing leases is recognized as depreciation expense and interest expense using the accelerated interest method of recognition. When an arrangement requires payments for lease and non-lease components, the Company has elected to account for lease and non-lease components separately. Lease expense for leases with a term of twelve months or less is recognized on a straight-line basis and are not included in the recognized ROU assets and lease liabilities.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
The Company records goodwill in a business combination when the total consideration exceeds the fair value of the assets acquired.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are related to purchased in-process research and development (IPR&D) projects and are measured at their respective fair values as of the acquisition date. Intangible assets related to IPR&D projects are considered to be indefinite-lived until the completion or abandonment of the associated R&D efforts. If and when development is complete, which generally occurs if and when regulatory approval to market a product is obtained, the associated assets are
95

(In thousands of U.S. Dollars, except per share amounts or as otherwise disclosed)
considered finite-lived and are amortized using the straight-line method based on their respective estimated useful lives at that point in time. The amortization of these intangible assets is included in Intangible Asset Amortization in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Intangible assets with finite useful lives primarily consist of acquired intellectual property and royalty rights, regulatory approval and first commercial sales milestone payments as well as costs associated with technology transfer to qualify third-party manufacturing facilities for commercial production. Intangible assets are recorded at cost, net of accumulated amortization, and amortized over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. Amortization expense is recorded in Intangible Asset Amortization on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income, except for amortization expense related to the technology transfer, which is recorded in Cost of Sales.
Impairment
The Company assesses goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually in the fourth quarter, or more frequently as warranted by events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
Goodwill is assessed for impairment by comparing the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss equal to the difference would be recorded.
Indefinite-lived intangible assets are assessed for impairment first by performing a qualitative assessment. If the qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, then the Company will perform a quantitative assessment and record an impairment loss.
Long-Lived Asset Impairment
The Company’s long-lived assets consist of property, plant and equipment, lease ROU assets and finite-lived intangible assets, which includes costs associated with technology transfer to qualify manufacturing facilities for commercial production. Should there be an indication of impairment, the Company tests for recoverability by comparing the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset or asset group and its eventual disposition to the carrying amount of the asset or asset group. Any excess of the carrying value of the asset or asset group over its estimated fair value is recognized as an impairment loss. Impairment charges related to property, plant or equipment that are not material are recorded to depreciation expense and presented in SG&A in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Impairment charges for finite-lived intangible assets associated with technology transfer costs that are not material are recorded to Cost of Sales in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Impairment charges related to all other finite-lived intangible assets that are not material are recorded to Intangible Asset Amortization in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Capitalized Software
The Company capitalizes software development costs associated with internal use software, including external direct costs of materials and services and payroll costs for employees devoting time to a software project. Costs incurred during the preliminary project stage, as well as costs for maintenance and training, are expensed as incurred. When placed in service, implementation costs are subsequently amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected useful life of the asset.
The following table presents the Company's capitalized software costs for the periods presented:
December 31,
Capitalized Software Classification 2025 2024
Assets:
Other current assets $ 9.1 $ 6.4
Total Capitalized Software $ 106.1 $ 72.1
Amortization expense related to capitalized software was $7.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 and was not material for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for contracts with customers, the Company performs the following five steps:
(i)identification of the promised goods or services in the contract;
(ii)determination of whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract;
(iii)measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration;
(iv)allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations based on estimated selling prices; and
(v)recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account.
Net Product Revenues
In the U.S., the Company’s commercial products, except for PALYNZIQ and ALDURAZYME, are generally sold to specialty pharmacies or end-users, such as hospitals, which act as retailers. PALYNZIQ is distributed in the U.S. through certain certified specialty pharmacies under the PALYNZIQ Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) and ALDURAZYME is marketed world-wide by Sanofi. Outside the U.S., the Company’s commercial products are sold to its authorized distributors or directly to government purchasers or hospitals, which act as the end-users. Revenues from product sales are recognized when the customer obtains control of the Company’s product, which occurs at a point in time, typically upon shipment to the customer. The Company's payment terms vary by customer, jurisdiction or, in some instances, by product. With the exception of Sanofi and certain outcomes-based contracts, most of the Company's payment terms are based on customary commercial terms and are generally less than one year after the customer obtains control. The Company does not adjust revenue for the effects of a significant financing component for contracts if the period between the transfer of control and corresponding payment is expected to be one year or less. Amounts collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities, which primarily consist of value-added taxes related to product sales in foreign jurisdictions, are presented on a net basis on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income, in that taxes billed to customers are not included as a component of Net Product Revenues.
For ALDURAZYME revenues, the Company receives a payment ranging from 39.5% to 50% on worldwide net ALDURAZYME sales by Sanofi depending on sales volume, which is included in Net Product Revenues on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company recognizes its best estimate of the revenue it expects to earn when the product is released and control is transferred to Sanofi. The Company records ALDURAZYME net product revenues based on the estimated variable consideration payable when the product is sold through by Sanofi. Actual amounts of consideration ultimately received may differ from the Company’s estimates. Differences between the estimated variable consideration to be received from Sanofi and actual payments received are not expected to be material. If actual results vary from the Company’s estimates, the Company will make adjustments, which would affect Net Product Revenues and earnings in the period such variances become known.
Revenue Reserves
Revenues from product sales are recorded at the net sales price (transaction price), which includes estimates of variable consideration for which reserves are established and which result from government and commercial rebates, chargebacks, sales returns, and other incentives that are offered within contracts between the Company and its customers, such as specialty pharmacies, hospitals, authorized distributors and government purchasers. These reserves are based on the amounts earned or to be claimed on the related sales and are classified as reductions of accounts receivable (if the amount is payable to the customer) or a current liability (if the amount is payable to a party other than a customer). Where appropriate, these estimates take into consideration a range of possible outcomes that are probability-weighted for relevant factors such as the Company’s historical experience, current contractual and statutory requirements, specific known market events and trends, patient outcomes, industry data and forecasted customer buying and payment patterns. Overall, these reserves reflect the Company’s best estimates of the amount of consideration to which it is entitled based on the terms of the contract. The amount of variable consideration that is included in the transaction price may be constrained and is included in the net sales price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized will not occur in a future period. Actual amounts of consideration ultimately received may differ from the Company’s estimates, however the Company does not expect any such

difference to be material. If actual results in the future vary from the Company’s estimates, the Company will adjust its estimates, which would affect net product revenue and earnings in the period such variances become known.
Government and Commercial Rebates: The Company records reserves for rebates payable under government programs, such as Medicaid, and commercial arrangements, such as managed care rebates, as a reduction of revenue at the time product revenues are recorded. The Company’s reserve calculations require estimates, including estimates of customer mix and patient outcomes, to determine which sales will be subject to rebates and the amount of such rebates. The Company updates its estimates and assumptions on a quarterly basis and records any necessary adjustments to its reserves.
Sales Returns: The Company records allowances for product returns, if appropriate, as a reduction of revenue at the time product sales are recorded. Several factors are considered in determining whether an allowance for product returns is required, including market exclusivity of the products based on their orphan drug status, the patient population, the customers’ limited return rights and the Company’s historical experience with returns. Because of the pricing of the Company’s commercial products, the limited number of patients and the customers’ limited return rights, most customers and retailers carry a limited inventory. The Company relies on historical return rates to estimate a reserve for returns. Based on these factors and the fact that the Company has not experienced significant product returns to date, return allowances are not material.
Other Incentives: Other incentives include fees paid to the Company’s distributors and discounts for prompt payment. The Company also offers a branded co-pay assistance program for eligible patients with commercial insurance in the U.S. who are on an eligible BioMarin product. The branded co-pay assistance programs assist commercially insured patients who have coverage for an eligible BioMarin product and are intended to reduce each participating patient’s portion of the financial responsibility of the purchase price up to a specified dollar amount of assistance. The Company records fees paid to distributors, cash discounts and amounts paid under the brand specific co-pay assistance program for each patient as a reduction of revenue.
Royalty and Other Revenues
Royalties: For arrangements that include the receipt of sales-based royalties, including milestone payments based on the level of sales when the license is deemed to be the predominant item to which the royalties relate, the Company recognizes revenue at the later of (a) when the related sales occur, or (b) when the performance obligation to which some or all of the royalty has been allocated has been satisfied (or partially satisfied).
Licenses of intellectual property:If the license to the Company’s intellectual property is determined to be distinct from the other performance obligations identified in the arrangement, the Company recognizes revenues from non-refundable, up-front fees allocated to the license when the license is transferred to the customer and the customer is able to use and benefit from the license. For licenses that are bundled with other promises, the Company uses judgment to assess the nature of the combined performance obligation to determine whether the combined performance obligation is satisfied over time or at a point in time and, if over time, the appropriate method of measuring progress for purposes of recognizing revenue from non-refundable, up-front fees. The Company evaluates the measure of progress each reporting period and, if necessary, adjusts the measure of performance and related revenue recognition.
Milestone payments: At the inception of each arrangement that includes developmental, regulatory or commercial milestone payments, the Company evaluates whether achieving the milestones is considered probable and estimates the amount to be included in the transaction price using the most likely amount method. If it is probable that a significant revenue reversal would not occur, the value of the associated milestone (such as a regulatory submission by the Company) is included in the transaction price. Milestone payments that are not within the control of the Company, such as approvals from regulators or where attainment of the specified event is dependent on the development activities of a third party, are not considered probable of being achieved until those approvals are received or the specified event occurs. Revenue is recognized from the satisfaction of performance obligations in the amount billable to the customer.
Research and Development
R&D costs are generally expensed as incurred. These expenses include contract R&D services provided by third parties, preclinical and clinical studies, raw materials costs associated with manufacturing clinical product, quality control and assurance, other R&D activities, facilities and regulatory costs and R&D-related personnel costs including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation. Upfront and milestone payments made to third parties in connection with licensed intellectual property, which does not have an alternative future use or does not reach technological feasibility, are expensed as incurred up to the point of regulatory

approval. Advance payments for goods or services for use in research and development (R&D) activities are capitalized and recorded in other current assets, and then expensed as the related goods are delivered or the services are performed.
Advertising Expenses
The costs of advertising are presented in SG&A in the Consolidated Statements of Income and are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses were $50.5 million, $34.5 million and $27.8 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Earnings Per Common Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing Net Income by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that would occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock; however, potential common stock equivalent shares are excluded if their effect is anti-dilutive.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has equity incentive plans under which various types of equity-based awards may be granted to employees. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period required to obtain full vesting, and is classified as Cost of Sales, R&D or SG&A, as appropriate, in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.
Restricted Stock Units
The fair value of restricted stock units (RSUs) with service-based vesting conditions and RSUs with performance conditions is determined to be the fair market value of the Company’s underlying common stock on the date of grant. The stock-based compensation expense for RSUs with service-based vesting is recognized over the period during which the vesting restrictions lapse. Stock-based compensation expense for RSUs with performance conditions is recognized beginning in the period the Company determines it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved. Management expectations related to the achievement of performance goals associated with RSUs with performance conditions are assessed regularly to determine whether such grants are expected to vest. The fair value for RSUs with market conditions is estimated using the Monte Carlo valuation model, utilizing expected volatility rates derived from those of the Company and the members of the referenced peer group. Related stock-based compensation is recognized, beginning on the grant date, on a straight-line basis regardless of whether the market condition is met unless the required service is not performed.
Stock Options and Purchase Rights
The fair value of each stock option award and purchase rights under the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) are estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model and the following assumptions: expected term, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate and expected dividend yield. The dividend yield reflects that the Company has not paid any cash dividends since inception and does not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The expected term of stock options is based on observed historical exercise patterns. In estimating the life of stock options, the Company has identified two employee groups with distinctly different historical exercise patterns: executive and non-executive. The executive employee group has a history of holding stock options for longer periods than non-executive employees. The expected term of purchase rights for ESPP is based on each tranche of an offering period, which is four tranches in a twenty-four-month period.
The determination of the fair value of stock-based payment awards using a pricing model is affected by the Company’s stock price and may use assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables.
Income Taxes
The Company calculates and provides for income taxes in each of the tax jurisdictions in which it operates. Deferred tax assets and liabilities, measured using enacted tax rates, are recognized for the future tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax and financial statement basis of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance reduces the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The Company establishes liabilities or reduces assets for uncertain tax positions when the Company believes certain tax positions are not more likely than not of being sustained if challenged. Each quarter, the
99

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(In thousands of U.S. Dollars, except per share amounts or as otherwise disclosed)
Company evaluates these uncertain tax positions and adjusts the related tax assets and liabilities in light of changing facts and circumstances.
The Company uses financial projections to support its net deferred tax assets, which contain significant assumptions and estimates of future operations. If such assumptions were to differ significantly, it may have a material impact on the Company’s ability to realize its deferred tax assets. At the end of each period, the Company will reassess the ability to realize its deferred tax assets. If it is more likely than not that the Company would not realize the deferred tax assets, a valuation allowance may need to be established against all or a portion of the deferred tax assets, which will result in a charge to tax expense.
Foreign Currency
For the Company and its subsidiaries, the functional currency has been determined to be the U.S. Dollar (USD). Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are remeasured at period-end exchange rates for monetary assets and liabilities. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are remeasured at historical rates. Foreign currency transaction losses resulting from remeasurement recognized in Other Expense, Net in the Consolidated Statements of Income totaled $6.1 million, $8.6 million and $27.7 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Derivatives and Hedging Activities
The Company uses foreign currency exchange forward contracts (forward contracts) to hedge certain operational exposures resulting from potential changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Such exposures result from portions of the Company’s forecasted revenues and operating expenses being denominated in currencies other than the USD, primarily the Euro. The Company designates certain of these forward contracts as hedging instruments and also enters into forward contracts that are considered to be economic hedges that are not designated as hedging instruments. Whether designated or undesignated, these forward contracts protect against the change in value of forecasted foreign currency cash flows resulting from gross product revenues, operating expenses and monetary asset or liability positions designated in currencies other than the USD. To receive hedge accounting treatment, cash flow hedges must be highly effective in offsetting changes to expected future cash flows on hedged transactions. The Company does not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
The Company is exposed to counterparty credit risk on its derivatives. The Company has established and maintains strict counterparty credit guidelines and enters into hedging agreements with financial institutions that are investment grade or better to minimize the Company’s exposure to potential defaults. The Company is not required to pledge collateral under these agreements.
The Company accounts for its derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on its Consolidated Balance Sheets and measures them at fair value, which is estimated using current exchange and interest rates and takes into consideration the current creditworthiness of the counterparties or the Company, as applicable. For derivatives designated as hedging instruments, the entire change in the fair value of qualifying derivative instruments is recorded in AOCI and amounts deferred in AOCI are reclassified to earnings in the same line item in which the earnings effect of the hedged item is reported. Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments are adjusted to fair value through earnings in Other income (expense), net, in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Acquisitions
Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. The Company allocates the purchase price of acquired businesses to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. The purchase price allocation process requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially at the acquisition date with respect to intangible assets and acquired IPR&D assets. Any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired is recognized as goodwill.
If it is determined that the net assets acquired do not meet the definition of a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting, the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition and no goodwill is recognized. Acquired IPR&D assets with no alternative future use under the acquisition method of accounting are charged to R&D in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company applies fair value accounting for all financial assets and liabilities and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities that are required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which the Company would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use to price the asset or liability, such as risks
100

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

inherent in valuation techniques, transfer restrictions and credit risk. When estimating fair value, depending on the nature and complexity of the asset or liability, the Company may use the following techniques:
•Income approach, which is based on the present value of a future stream of net cash flows
•Market approach, which is based on market prices and other information from market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.
The Company’s fair value methodologies depend on the following types of inputs:
•Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets (Level 1 inputs)
•Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities that are not active, or inputs other than quoted process that are directly or indirectly observable, or inputs that are derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data by correlation or other means (Level 2 inputs)
•Unobservable inputs that reflect estimates and assumptions (Level 3 inputs)
The Company’s Level 2 instruments are valued using third-party pricing sources. The pricing services utilize industry standard valuation models, including both income and market-based approaches, for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, to estimate fair value. These inputs include reported trades of and broker/dealer quotes on the same or similar securities, issuer credit spreads, benchmark securities, prepayment/default projections based on historical data and other observable inputs. The Company validates the prices provided by its third-party pricing services by understanding the models used, obtaining market values from other pricing sources, analyzing pricing data in certain instances and confirming those securities traded in active markets.
The Company’s Level 3 financial assets and liabilities include acquired intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions. The estimated fair value of acquired finite-lived intangible assets is measured by applying a probability-based income approach utilizing an appropriate discount rate as of the acquisition date.
See Notes 7, 8, and 10 to these Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the nature of these financial instruments.
