BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (Nasdaq: BMRN) today announced financial results for the third quarter of 2010. GAAP net income was $217.3 million ($1.68 per diluted share) for the third quarter of 2010, compared to GAAP net income of $6.6 million ($0.07 per diluted share) for the third quarter of 2009. Non-GAAP net income was $6.0 million ($0.06 per diluted share) for the third quarter of 2010, compared to non-GAAP net income of $15.5 million ($0.14 per diluted share) for the third quarter of 2009.

The reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the GAAP net income is detailed in the table provided near the end of the press release.

GAAP net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $218.0 million ($1.74 per diluted share), compared to GAAP net loss of $5.2 million ($0.05 per diluted share) for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

“In the third quarter, we saw strong commercial performance, despite being a seasonally weaker quarter. During the quarter, based upon, among other things, our expectations to generate taxable income for the foreseeable future, we reversed most of our deferred tax asset valuation allowance which resulted in a one-time credit totaling $223.1 million,” said Jean-Jacques Bienaime, Chief Executive Officer of BioMarin. “Our pipeline has advanced tremendously over the last few months as highlighted at our recent R&D Day, and we are committed to investing in advancing the pipeline over the next two years to drive future growth. We look forward to keeping you updated on the many clinical milestones expected in the coming year.”
