  • BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc (NASDAQ:BMRN) reported a 1% Y/Y decrease in Q4 revenue to $449.8 million, beating the consensus estimate of $442.39 million.
  • The decline was attributable to lower sales from Kuvan and Naglazyme, cushioned by higher revenues from Aldurazyme, Vimizim, and Palynziq.
  • Kuvan sales decreased 23% to $ 68.5 million, primarily due to generic competition.
  • Lower Naglazyme product revenues declined 31% to $83.1 million, primarily driven by the timing of orders from Latin America, the Middle East, and Europe.
