On Wednesday, BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMRN#NASDAQ">BMRN</a>) reported fourth-quarter adjusted EPS of 92 cents, up from 49 cents reported a year ago, beating the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus of 53 cents</a>.
The company reported sales of $747.31 million, beating the consensus of $713.44 million. Total Revenues increased 16% year over year, driven by Voxzogo contributions from new <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/n43829778/biomarin-reports-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-2024-results-sets-full-year-2025-guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">patient starts in all regions</a>.
In the quarter, revenues from BioMarin's Enzyme Therapies increased 9%, driven by increased patient demand in all regions and the timing of large government orders in certain regions outside the U.S.

Guidance: BioMarin Pharmaceutical expects fiscal year 2025 adjusted EPS of $4.20-$4.40 versus consensus of $3.04. The company expects 2025 sales of $3.1 billion-$3.2 billion versus a consensus of $3.11 billion.
"We expect 2025 to be another year of strong execution and growth in our Skeletal Conditions business unit, led by the continued global expansion of VOXZOGO for achondroplasia&#8230;In summary, we expect continued high performance as we benefit from BioMarin's revamped corporate strategy and operating model in 2025 and beyond," said Alexander Hardy, President and CEO of BioMarin.
In 2025, the company will continue to implement additional components of the $500 million cost transformation program announced in September of 2024, with full realization of benefits expected in 2026.
This ongoing integration of efficiencies in 2025 will enable BioMarin to realize a 40% adjusted operating margin in 2026.
William Blair notes that while BioMarin achieved its financial targets in 2024, its current valuation already accounts for expected revenue growth over the next 12–18 months.
Analyst Sami Corwin sees the limited expansion of Voxzogo's market until 2030–2031, when potential approvals for idiopathic short stature, Noonan syndrome, Turner syndrome, and SHOX deficiency could broaden its reach. A smaller boost may come in 2027 if its label expands to hypochondroplasia (HCH).
Corwin also flags Ascendis Pharma A/S' (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASND#NASDAQ">ASND</a>) navepegritide as a potential challenge for Voxzogo, with a near-term stock overhang as Ascendis moves toward a possible NDA submission in early 2025.
Beyond Voxzogo, BioMarin's enzyme therapy unit provides stable but modest revenue growth, though upcoming competition for Palynziq in 2025 could affect its compound annual growth rate.
Analyst Reaction:
<ul>
<li>BofA Securities maintains BioMarin with a Buy, raising the price target from $99 to $103.</li>
<li>Piper Sandler maintains BioMarin with an Overweight rating while raising the price target from $122 to $126.</li>

Earnings Scheduled For February 19, 2025

On Wednesday, Ascendis Pharma (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASND#NASDAQ">ASND</a>) reported a fourth-quarter EPS loss of 64 cents, beating the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus loss of 1.07 euros</a>.
Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2024 was 173.9 million euros, beating the consensus of 111.178 million euros compared to 137.7 million <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/g43674382/ascendis-pharma-reports-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-2024-financial-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">euros reported a year ago</a>.
The increase was primarily due to Novo Nordisk A/S&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>) $100 million upfront fee and the EU launch of Yorvipath.
TransCon hGH (lonapegsomatropin, marketed as Skytrofa) sales reached 58.5 million euros.

TransCon PTH (palopegteriparatide, marketed as Yorvipath) revenue for the fourth quarter of 2024 totaled €13.6 million.
The company reported a strong start to the U.S. Yorvipath launch, with 908 prescriptions as of February 7, 2025, and 539 unique prescribing health care providers.
As of December 31, 2024, cash and cash equivalents totaled 559.5 million euros. Including the $100 million upfront payment, cash at the end of 2024 would have totaled 655 million euros.
Concurrently, Ascendis Pharma's board authorized the repurchase of up <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/g43674574/ascendis-pharma-as-announces-share-repurchase-program-net-settlement-of-certain-rsus" rel="noreferrer noopener">to $18.25 million shares</a>.
Goldman Sachs analyst writes that Yorvipath has only been available in the U.S. for a few months, but early prescription trends have been strong and widespread. However, insurance coverage and reimbursement challenges may slow revenue growth in the short term.
Looking ahead, analyst Paul Choi writes investors will likely focus on the company's progress toward achieving breakeven cash flow and key milestones, including:
<ul>
<li>The pace of Yorvipath's rollout in the U.S. and EU</li>
<li>Data from the COACH study on achondroplasia, expected in Q2 2025</li>
<li>Regulatory discussions on Transcon CNP</li>
<li>Competitive updates from BioMarin Plc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMRN#NASDAQ">BMRN</a>) in achondroplasia and AstraZeneca Plc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZN#NASDAQ">AZN</a>) in hypoparathyroidism.</li>
</ul>
With Yorvipath showing potential for a strong launch in 2025, Goldman Sachs maintains the Buy rating and raises the price target <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CVS/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">to $225 from $200</a>.
Price Action: ASND stock is up 15.8% at $146.08 at last check Thursday.

Moderna, GameStop And Snap Are Among Top Large-Cap Losers Last Week (Jan 13-Jan 17): Are The Others In Your Portfolio?

BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMRN#NASDAQ">BMRN</a>) today announced that the company has initiated a legal action against Ascendis Pharma A/S for infringement of European patent EP 3 175 863 B1 at the Unified Patent Court (UPC) in Munich, Germany. The patent covers long-acting variants of C-Type Natriuretic Peptide (CNP).
The legal action, which would result in a decision in the next 12-15 months, is based on BioMarin's belief that Ascendis' TransCon CNP investigational product and its development program in Germany and elsewhere in Europe infringe BioMarin's patent. The BioMarin patent was confirmed by the European Patent Office's Opposition Division in 2024.
The UPC, which formally started in June of 2023, has jurisdiction over European patents for 18 European member states that have ratified the Unitary Patents (UPs), including: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia and Sweden.

BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMRN#NASDAQ">BMRN</a>), Teradata Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TDC#NYSE">TDC</a>), and Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMY#NYSE">BMY</a>) are among the top holdings, accounting for 2.11%, 2.01%, and 2.03% as of Jan. 7. The fund&#8217;s portfolio consists of about 50 holdings.
The index uses a quantitative methodology to identify innovation-driven equities, shortlists them based on lower cash flow margins and then ranks them based on research and development expenditures. The top 50 companies on this ranking are then selected, with each stock constituting around 2% of the portfolio.
Brad Neuman, CFA, Alger's Director of Market Strategy, thinks that this approach could bring innovation &#8220;out of the shadow of financial statements&#8221; and into accessible investment instruments.
The launch of INVN makes it the sixth Alger ETF available on U.S. markets. Among its other offerings, the Alger Mid Cap 40 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FRTY#NYSE">FRTY</a>) stands out with over $70 million in assets under management.
