Nature of Operations
BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (the Company or BioMarin) is a leading, global rare disease biotechnology company focused on delivering medicines for people living with genetically defined conditions. 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.

Basis of Presentation
These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared pursuant to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements, although management believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to ensure that the information presented is not misleading. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should therefore be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025 or any other period.
Use of Estimates
U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the Condensed 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 Condensed 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 for these interim periods.
Management performed an evaluation of the Company’s activities through the date of filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and has concluded that there were no subsequent events or transactions that occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date and prior to filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that would require recognition or disclosure in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Significant Accounting Policies
Other than as discussed below, there have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the significant accounting policies disclosed in Note 1 – Business Overview and Significant Accounting Policies to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
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 in-process research and development (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 Research and Development in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Other than as discussed below, there have been no new accounting pronouncements adopted by the Company or new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the recent accounting pronouncements described in Note 1 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, that the Company believes are of significance or potential significance to the Company. The following paragraphs discuss new accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, but not yet adopted by the Company.

The guidance requires disclosure of disaggregated information about the Company’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The disclosure requirements will be applied on a prospective basis, with the option to apply it retrospectively. The effective date for the update is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of the update on the Company's related disclosures.
Income Statement Disaggregation
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income Topic 220, Expense Disaggregation Disclosures.

Internal-use Software
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software Topic 350-40: Accounting for and Disclosure of Software Costs.

The Company may apply the guidance using a prospective, retrospective or modified transition approach.
