BioMarin Pharmaceutical reported third-quarter 2026 total revenues of $1.025 billion, a 32% increase year-over-year, driven by contributions from acquired products including GALAFOLD and POMBILITI plus OPFOLDA. However, the company reported a GAAP net loss of $123 million due to acquisition-related expenses and IPR&D charges, and lowered its full-year 2026 Non-GAAP Diluted EPS guidance to a range of $2.80 to $3.10.
Third-quarter 2026 total revenues rose 32% year-over-year to $1.025 billion.
GAAP net loss widened to $123 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026, compared to a net loss of $31 million a year earlier.

BioMarin said its third-quarter 2026 results will include about $283 million of acquired in-process R&D expense tied to its Alesta Therapeutics acquisition, completed August 31, 2026. The company estimates the charges reduce both GAAP and non-GAAP diluted EPS by about $1.50 for the quarter and about $1.55 for the full year, and it will update full-year 2026 guidance with its third-quarter results.
Q3 2026 pre-tax IPR&D charge of approximately $283 million, an unfavorable EPS impact of about $1.50
Full-year 2026 pre-tax charges of approximately $320 million, an unfavorable EPS impact of about $1.55

Quarter results are not finalized and figures are preliminary and unaudited
BioMarin entered into a Settlement and License Agreement with Ascendis Pharma on September 24, 2026, replacing an August 2026 binding term sheet. Ascendis receives a non-exclusive license to BioMarin patents covering TransCon CNP (navepegritide, Yuviwel), and BioMarin receives royalties on net sales until May 2030. The filing says the parties will dismiss all pending litigation between them over the patents, and it does not disclose dollar amounts.

BioMarin entered a binding term sheet with Ascendis Pharma on August 30, 2026, to settle all pending proceedings over its patent rights covering the C-type natriuretic peptide TransCon CNP (navepegritide, Yuviwel). Ascendis will pay BioMarin royalties on Licensed Product sales, and the parties will dismiss all related litigation with prejudice, including the ITC Section 337 investigation. The filing gives no financial value for the settlement or the royalties beyond the rates, so the effect on BioMarin's results cannot be measured from this filing.
