* Net product transfer revenue had a positive $1.8 million impact on net Aldurazyme revenue to BioMarin in the first quarter of 2011 and a negative $1.7 million impact on net Aldurazyme revenue to BioMarin in the first quarter of 2010.

BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (Nasdaq: BMRN) today announced financial results for the first quarter of 2011. GAAP net loss was $4.4 million ($0.04 per diluted share) for the first quarter of 2011, compared to GAAP net income of $1.2 million ($0.01 per diluted share) for the first quarter of 2010. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was $17.3 million ($0.14 per diluted share) for the first quarter of 2011, compared to non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of $14.8 million ($0.14 per diluted share) for the first quarter of 2010. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA excludes depreciation and amortization, contingent consideration expense, interest income and expense, income taxes, stock compensation expense and material non-recurring items. The reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the GAAP net income in the first quarter of 2011 is detailed in the table provided near the end of the press release.

As of March 31, 2011, BioMarin had cash, cash equivalents and short and long-term investments totaling $394.0 million, as compared to $402.3 million as of December 31, 2010. Cash and investment balances declined $8.3 million in the first quarter of 2011 due primarily to the timing of cash receipts that were collected in early April. For 2011, the company expects to remain cash flow neutral to slightly positive.

“Our clinical pipeline is advancing with more programs in the clinic than ever in the history of the company,” said Jean-Jacques Bienaime, Chief Executive Officer of BioMarin. “We saw a strong quarter from our commercial business, driven in part by the timing of a Naglazyme order from Brazil early in the quarter, along with consistent new patient adds around the world. We remain focused on growing the commercial business and the successful advancement of our pipeline projects.”
