Guidance and Future Outlook:

- Updated full-year 2026 VOXZOGO revenue guidance to $975 million to $1,025 million (previously $1,000 million to $1,050 million).

- BioMarin expects approximately $280 million of GAAP cost synergies (approximately $220 million on a Non-GAAP basis) from the Amicus acquisition to be fully realized in 2028.
