BIOMARIN:MATCHING PR OVEN SCIEN CE WIT H  PROV EN N EE DS

On May 31, 2005, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration 
(FDA) approved NaglazymeTM (galsulfase), the first enzyme 
replacement therapy for the treatment of mucopolysacchari-
dosis VI (MPS VI). This was the second time in BioMarin’s 
eight-year history that the company successfully advanced  
a product through the clinic and into the marketplace.

At BioMarin, we are committed to developing and com-
mercializing innovative biopharmaceuticals for serious 
diseases and medical conditions. We are aggressive in this 
undertaking and seek product opportunities that suggest 
a clear development path, provide an opportunity to be 
first to market and, most importantly, will address unmet 
medical needs.

A MESSAGE FRO M THE CEO

2005 was a year marked by significant growth and success 
for BioMarin: we increased net product sales of Aldurazyme® 
(laronidase); we moved Naglazyme through clinical devel-
opment to market; we advanced and added to our product 
pipeline; and we formed a strategic partnership that will 
help fund our lead clinical programs. We enter 2006 with 
continued resolve to build a sustainable biopharmaceutical 
company that will satisfy the interests of our stockholders 
and address unmet medical needs.

Net product sales of Aldurazyme for mucopolysaccharidosis 
I (MPS I) by BioMarin/Genzyme LLC continued to grow  
in 2005, increasing 79 percent in comparison to the previous 
year. In line with this, our share of the profit from this 50/50 
joint venture grew to $11.8 million for the year. As we 
move forward in 2006, we expect to see increasing profits 

from Aldurazyme as product sales continue to grow and as 
we reduce research and development-related spending.

Net product sales of Naglazyme for MPS VI totaled $6.1 
million in 2005. Naglazyme was approved by the FDA on 
May 31, 2005, and subsequently by the European Commis-
sion in late January 2006. We anticipate net product sales 
of Naglazyme to increase significantly in 2006 as more 
individuals begin receiving commercial treatment in the 
United States, Europe and other parts of the world.

With regard to our product pipeline, in April 2005, we initiated  
a Phase 3 clinical trial of PhenoptinTM (sapropterin dihydro-
chloride) for the treatment of phenylketonuria (PKU). 
Phenoptin is a synthetic form of 6R-BH4 (commonly known 
as tetrahydrobiopterin or BH4), an enzyme cofactor that  
works in combination with the enzyme needed to metabolize

phenylalanine (Phe). We announced positive results from 
this trial in March 2006 that demonstrated a highly statistically 
significant reduction in blood Phe levels (p‹0.0001) following  
six weeks of treatment with Phenoptin versus placebo. This 
was the primary endpoint of the trial. Phenoptin was well 
tolerated and the type and incidence of adverse events was 
similar in the Phenoptin and placebo groups. We remain 
on-track to file a New Drug Application (NDA) in early 2007. 
Phenoptin has been designated an orphan drug in the 
United States and Europe and assigned Fast Track status  
in the United States. We are developing Phenoptin in 
collaboration with Serono, our corporate partner as of May 
2005, which will equally share Phase 3 development costs  
in exchange for rights to market Phenoptin outside of the 
United States and Japan.

In May 2005, we licensed expanded intellectual property 
rights to 6R-BH4 for cardiovascular indications—an 
investigational product candidate that could provide us with 
an opportunity to break into markets with substantial 
commercial potential. In addition to the possible application 
of 6R-BH4 in treating PKU, researchers have established 
that a deficiency of 6R-BH4 contributes to endothelial 
dysfunction and, in academic studies, they have demon-
strated that administration of 6R-BH4 improves vascular 
endothelial function in animal models and individuals  
with diabetes and cardiovascular disease. In 2006, we plan 
to initiate two Phase 2 clinical trials of 6R-BH4, beginning 
with one in poorly controlled hypertension.

Our 6R-BH4 program provides  

us with the opportunity to expand  

beyond orphan drug markets  

into new markets that may offer  
substantial commercial potential.

We are excited about what we have accomplished in 2005 
and the opportunities that are ahead of us. The key to  
our continued success lies in our ability to strike a balance 
between improving our financial performance and 
investing in new product opportunities. To this end, we 
remain focused on accelerating the growth and profitability 
of Naglazyme and Aldurazyme, leveraging our manufac-
turing and commercial infrastructure, and identifying 
new opportunities that will help to further strengthen  
our company.

I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to our board 
of directors and our scientific advisory boards, especially 
those formed to guide our PKU and cardiovascular programs, 
for sharing with us their leadership and scientific expertise. 
To our employees, I gratefully acknowledge their hard 

work and dedication toward meeting our aggressive 
corporate goals and making new therapies a reality. 
Finally, I extend my appreciation to our stockholders  
for placing their confidence in us at BioMarin and for 
investing in our future. 

The key to our continued success 

lies in our ability to strike a balance 

between improving our financial 

performance and investing in new 
product opportunities. 

Sincerely,

Jean-Jacques Bienaimé 
Chief Executive Officer

IMPROVING FINA N CIA L  PR OF IL E  

For the third year in a row, net product sales of Aldurazyme 
through BioMarin/Genzyme LLC increased substantially  
in comparison to the previous year. This continued growth  
led the joint venture to profitability in 2005—a first since  
the partnership was formed. We expect net product sales  
of Aldurazyme to continue to increase in 2006. 

Within three weeks of approval, we launched Naglazyme in 
the United States and, before it was approved in Europe, 
we were selling it on a named–patient basis. Each quarter 
we transitioned more individuals onto commercial therapy, 
resulting in $6.1 million of net product sales for 2005. 
Commercializing Naglazyme on our own in both the United 
States and Europe positions us to realize a profit from the 
product more quickly than had we outsourced it to a third party. 
We expect net product sales of Naglazyme to continue to 

grow in 2006 as it is approved in additional countries and 
more individuals begin treatment.

The partnership we formed with Serono in May 2005 helped 
us to advance Phenoptin into Phase 3 development and 
contributed to our decrease in net loss in 2005 in comparison 
to the previous year. In 2005, pursuant to our agreement, 
we received a $25 million upfront payment and equally 
shared Phase 3 development costs associated with  
Phenoptin. Looking ahead, we expect this partnership to 
continue to help us advance our PKU and cardiovascular 
programs and support our effort to reduce our net cash use.

In 2005, our stock price increased over  

68 percent—a reflection of the progress 

we made throughout the year.

PRO DUCTS ON THE MARKET

AL DURA ZYME  

FOR  MPS  I

NAGLAZYME  

FOR  MP S  V I

Aldurazyme is now available in over 30 countries worldwide 
and remains the only drug therapy for the treatment of 
MPS I. MPS I is a progressive, life-threatening genetic dis-
ease characterized by a deficiency of alpha-L-iduronidase, 
a lysosomal enzyme. Aldurazyme is an enzyme replacement 
therapy that provides MPS I patients with a recombinant 
version of this enzyme. Today over 400 individuals are 
receiving treatment with Aldurazyme, and we expect this 
number to increase as more patients are identified and 
approvals are attained in additional countries.

We developed Aldurazyme in partnership with Genzyme  
and received FDA approval in just over five and a half years 
after filing the Investigational New Drug Application (IND). 
Aldurazyme is manufactured by BioMarin and commercialized 
by Genzyme.

Naglazyme is the first enzyme replacement therapy for the 
treatment of MPS VI. Similar to MPS I, MPS VI is a progres-
sive, life-threatening genetic disease characterized by a 
deficiency of a lysosomal enzyme. Naglazyme provides 
patients with a recombinant version of this enzyme, 
arylsulfatase B. We believe that early diagnosis is crucial 
to preventing irreversible multisystemic damage caused  
by MPS VI. To this end, we are working to educate pediatri-
cians about the signs and symptoms of the disease so  
that individuals can be promptly referred to genetic specialists 
for diagnosis and treatment.

We independently developed Naglazyme and received  
FDA approval in just over five years after filing the  
IND. Naglazyme is manufactured and commercialized  
by BioMarin.

Regulatory authorities in the United 

States and Europe have granted 

Aldurazyme for MPS I and Naglazyme  

for MPS VI orphan drug status, confer- 
ring seven years of market exclusivity 

in the United States and 10 years in 

the European Union.

PHENOPTI N  FOR PKU

6R- BH4  

FOR  CARD IOVAS CU LAR IND ICATI ON S

Phenoptin is an investigational small–molecule oral thera-
peutic for the treatment of PKU. The active ingredient in 
Phenoptin is a synthetic form of 6R-BH4, an enzyme cofac-
tor that plays a key role in metabolizing phenylalanine 
(Phe). Phe is found in most protein-containing foods and if 
not sufficiently metabolized, it accumulates in the blood. 
Sustained elevated blood Phe levels can lead to serious 
neurological complications, including mental illness, loss 
of IQ and cognitive problems. We are developing Phenoptin 
with the aim of providing BH4-responsive phenylketonurics 
with a simple and effective way to manage their disease. 
Currently, the only way to manage PKU is through a restricted 
diet that is difficult for most to adhere to. We plan to file  
an NDA in early 2007. 

6R-BH4 is an investigational small–molecule oral therapeutic 
for the treatment of cardiovascular indications. In addi-
tion to playing a role in metabolizing Phe, BH4 is required 
for the production of nitric oxide in the endothelium. 
Researchers have established that a deficiency of BH4 
contributes to endothelial dysfunction and, in academic 
studies, have demonstrated that administration of 6R-BH4 
improves vascular endothelial function in animal models 
and individuals with diabetes and cardiovascular disease.  
In 2006, we plan to initiate a Phase 2 clinical trial of 6R-BH4 
in poorly controlled hypertension followed by a Phase 2  
clinical trial in a second indication with endothelial dys-
function. Additionally, we expect two investigator-sponsored 
studies to be initiated in 2006, one in pulmonary arterial 
hypertension and the other in coronary artery disease.

6R-BH4, commonly known as tetra-

hydrobiopterin (BH4), is a naturally 

occurring enzyme cofactor. BioMarin 

is evaluating its application in 
treating PKU as well as endothelial 

dysfunction seen in diabetes and 

cardiovascular indications.
