"Compugen made significant progress in 2022, including the presentation of encouraging data from sixty patients in tumor types typically not responding to immunotherapy, namely platinum resistant ovarian cancer (PROC) and microsatellite stable colorectal cancer (MSS CRC)," said Anat Cohen-Dayag, Ph.D., President, and CEO of Compugen. "Reporting clinical responses along with immune activation in patients with less immunogenic cancers is strongly suggestive of a COM701 mediated effect and consistent with our extensive understanding of the biology and data collected from biopsies. I am excited that we are on track to dose the first patients in two small proof of concept studies with COM701 in combination with COM902 and pembrolizumab in these indications in the first and second quarter of this year. The goal of these studies is to further substantiate the evidence, gain more insights into the contribution of components and build on the extensive biomarker work we are doing to identify the patients most likely to respond, to inform on next steps for a potential path to registration in these indications."

Dr. Cohen-Dayag added, "I am delighted to see the progress AstraZeneca is making with their PD-1/TIGIT bispecific antibody, rilvegostomig, derived from our Fc reduced effector function anti-TIGIT, COM902. In 2022, AstraZeneca advanced rilvegostimub into Phase 2 studies in metastatic non-small cell lung cancer, triggering a $7.5 million milestone payment for Compugen. They also expanded the rilvegostomig development program across multiple indications and combinations with plans to initiate a new Phase 3 study in 2023. It is validating for COM902, to see multiple companies advancing their TIGIT programs and in particular programs with differentiated anti-TIGIT antibodies with reduced or inactive Fc effector function. However, it has always been our belief that blocking only TIGIT may not be enough, even by adding PD-1 blockade, and blocking PVRIG may be required to sensitize tumors to PD-1 and possibly TIGIT blockade. This is the basis of our differentiated triple combination clinical strategy which starts to play out in the clinic."

Dr. Cohen-Dayag continued, "We are very excited about our latest discovery of a novel way to harness cytokine biology for anti-cancer therapeutics discovered using our computational discovery capabilities. We identified a known pathway in cancer, the immunostimulatory cytokine interleukin-18 (IL-18), a T and NK cell activator which is highly expressed in the tumor microenvironment but is inhibited by another soluble protein, interleukin-18 binding protein, which prevents its biological activity against tumors. As this is one of the rare cytokines that is naturally blocked by an endogenous binding protein, it presents a unique opportunity to use an antibody to release the blockade of IL-18 to enable its natural immune stimulatory activity, mostly at the tumor bed with minimal peripheral activation of the immune system. We believe this approach may overcome inherent challenges that therapeutic cytokines are facing, when given systemically. COM503 is a potential first-in-class high affinity antibody, which blocks the interaction between IL-18 binding protein and IL-18, thereby releasing the natural IL-18 into the tumor microenvironment to inhibit cancer growth. We are currently advancing COM503 into IND enabling studies and plan to file an IND in 2024."

SAN RAFAEL, Calif., February 27, 2023 – BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (NASDAQ: BMRN) (BioMarin or the Company) reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2022.
"As expected, in 2022 BioMarin delivered double-digit revenue growth and profitability for the full-year driven by the strong global launch of VOXZOGO, consistent growth of our enzyme business and continued focus on operational excellence," said Jean-Jacques Bienaimé, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of BioMarin. "Our record-setting 2023 outlook underscores BioMarin’s proven and fully-scaled development and commercial capabilities and attention to sustainable growth. With global market expansion of VOXZOGO well underway, we turn our focus to the European commercial launch of ROCTAVIAN, the world’s first gene therapy approved for the treatment of severe hemophilia A. Our team in Germany is working with the leading hemophilia centers of excellence to drive awareness and uptake of ROCTAVIAN, now that it is commercially available. In the United States, we are actively preparing for the launch of ROCTAVIAN upon potential approval this year. We are encouraged by the level of interest from U.S. adult hemophilia A patients seeking information about ROCTAVIAN and are pleased that roughly 300 people have engaged directly with BioMarin to learn more. Acknowledging that many of these people may not be eligible for treatment with ROCTAVIAN, we are glad to see this level of engagement with the bleeding disorders community."

Financial Highlights:
•Total Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2022 were $537.5 million, an increase of 19% compared to the same period in 2021 despite continued erosion of the U.S. KUVAN market. The increase in Total Revenues was primarily attributed to the following:
•Higher VOXZOGO commercial sales due to continued global market expansion and rapid patient uptake following regulatory approvals in late 2021 and early 2022,
•Higher NAGLAZYME product revenues primarily driven by new patients initiating therapy and the timing of orders in countries that place large government orders, particularly in Europe and the Middle East, and
•Higher ALDURAZYME product revenues primarily due to the timing of order fulfillment to Sanofi. BioMarin ALDURAZYME revenues are driven by the timing of when the product is released and control is transferred to Sanofi,
•Lower KUVAN product revenues primarily due to generic competition as a result of the loss of market exclusivity in the U.S., consistent with expectations.
•GAAP Net Loss decreased to $0.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to GAAP Net Loss of $57.9 million for the same period in 2021. The decreased net loss was primarily related to higher gross profit, driven by increased sales volume. This was partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative (SG&A) and research and development (R&D) expenses. The increase in SG&A expenses was largely due to severance costs associated with the Company’s organizational redesign announced in October 2022 and higher costs to support the commercial launch of VOXZOGO and ROCTAVIAN in the EU. The increase in R&D expenses was primarily attributed to higher spend for programs in our earlier-stage development portfolio.
•Non-GAAP Income increased to $67.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to Non-GAAP Income of $7.1 million for the same period in 2021 driven by higher gross profit due to increased sales volume partially offset by higher SG&A and R&D expenses for the same reasons noted above.
New Product Approvals and Launches (ROCTAVIAN and VOXZOGO)
•The European launch of ROCTAVIAN is underway following EMA approval in the third quarter of 2022. Since approval, BioMarin continues to collaborate with German health insurers to secure novel Outcomes Based Agreements (OBAs) to enable access to ROCTAVIAN treatment. The first OBA has been completed, allowing for a significant percentage of people in Germany affected by severe hemophilia A to pursue treatment with ROCTAVIAN. Patient testing to determine eligibility for ROCTAVIAN treatment is ongoing throughout Germany.
•BioMarin’s Biologics License Application (BLA) for ROCTAVIAN is currently under review by the U.S. Food
2

and Drug Administration (FDA) with a PDUFA target action date of March 31, 2023, subject to a potential three-month extension, if the FDA deems necessary during the review procedure. The Company recently submitted to the FDA positive results from three or more years of follow up from its ongoing global Phase 3 GENEr8-1 study of ROCTAVIAN, the largest and longest global Phase 3 study to date for any gene therapy in hemophilia with 134 participants. As part of the ongoing review, the FDA completed the Pre-License Inspection of the Company’s dedicated gene therapy facility in December 2022. BioMarin has provided responses to the comments and observations received at the close of the FDA inspection, and believes all are addressable. Also in the U.S., the Premarket Approval (PMA) application is under review at the Center for Devices and Radiological Health to support contemporaneous approval of a CDx along with the ROCTAVIAN BLA.
•Today, the Company provided full-year 2023 ROCTAVIAN guidance of between $100 million to $200 million. The estimated range acknowledges the inherent uncertainties of the global launch during 2023, and assumes contributions from Germany, the United States, if approved, with the amount dependent on potential approval timing, and small numbers of patients in other markets.
•The global expansion of VOXZOGO continues, with market access and reimbursement activities progressing, as anticipated. As of the end of January 2023, an estimated 1,264 children with achondroplasia were being treated with VOXZOGO. Treated children are included under the currently approved age ranges in Europe, 2 years old and older, the United States, for children 5 years old and older, and in Japan, approved for all ages from birth. There were 32 active markets contributing to VOXZOGO commercial expansion including the United States, Europe, Japan, Canada, Australia and Brazil.
Mid-stage Product Life Cycle Expansion Opportunities (VOXZOGO and ROCTAVIAN)
•During the fourth quarter, BioMarin submitted supplemental marketing applications in the U.S. and EU to expand VOXZOGO access to younger age groups, based on favorable results from a Phase 2 study in infants and young children. In January 2023, the European Medicines agency validated BioMarin’s application for extension of indications for VOXZOGO for the treatment of children under the age of two. The Company expects action by U.S. and EU health authorities on the applications in the second half of 2023. If age expansions are accepted, more than 1,000 additional children will be eligible for VOXZOGO treatment in the U.S. and Europe.
•Product expansion opportunities with ROCTAVIAN are supported by a number of clinical studies currently underway. Two additional studies are ongoing, one investigating ROCTAVIAN treatment in those with active or prior inhibitors, as well as one study investigating ROCTAVIAN in people with pre-existing antibodies against AAV5.
Earlier-stage Development Portfolio (BMN 255, BMN 331, BMN 351, BMN 349, BMN 293 (DiNA-001))
•BioMarin plans to showcase progress across its earlier-stage development pipeline at R&D Day in New York City on September 12, 2023. Invitations to the event will be circulated in June.
•BMN 255 for hyperoxaluria in chronic liver disease: The Company has concluded the multi-ascending dose phase of the First-in-Human study with BMN 255. In January 2023, BioMarin shared early data that demonstrated a rapid and potent increase in plasma glycolate following treatment with BMN 255, which is predicted to have a profound reduction in oxalate excretion in patients. BioMarin now plans to initiate and fully enroll an expanded study in patients with chronic liver disease and hyperoxaluria in 2023. The Company believes the availability of a potent, orally bioavailable, small molecule like BMN 255 may be able to significantly reduce disease and treatment burden in a patient population with significant unmet need.
•BMN 331 gene therapy product candidate for Hereditary Angioedema (HAE): Dosing continues in the Phase 1/2 HAERMONY study to evaluate BMN 331, an investigational AAV5-mediated gene therapy for people living with HAE. In January 2023, BioMarin shared that the first participant treated with the 6e13vg/kg dose demonstrated C1-Inhibitor levels that were approaching the therapeutically relevant range. A second participant is scheduled for dosing at the 6e13vg/kg dose level in the coming weeks.
•BMN 351 for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD): Investigational New Drug application (IND)-enabling studies continue with BMN 351, an antisense oligonucleotide therapy for individuals with exon 51-skip-amenable DMD. BMN 351 was developed using familiar chemistry and superior biology, by targeting a novel,
3

upstream, splice enhancer site demonstrating improved binding affinity and tolerability in preclinical models. Preclinical data suggest that restored expression of near-full-length dystrophin protein at levels of up to 40% will convert phenotypes from rapid loss to durable preservation of strength and ambulation. BioMarin is working towards beginning clinical studies with BMN 351 in 2023.
•BMN 349 for alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency: Preclinical studies have demonstrated that BMN 349 is an orally bioavailable, small molecule that in preclinical studies has demonstrated that it is titratable with rapid onset and high potency and efficacy. Preclinical results have strong implications for potential improvement of current management, particularly for severe liver disease requiring rapid action. IND enabling studies are underway and BioMarin’s goal is to file an IND for BMN 349 in the second half of 2023.
•BMN 293 (formerly DiNA-001) for MYBPC3 hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM): Preclinical studies are underway with BMN 293 following a collaboration announced in 2020 with DiNAQOR, a platform company that develops organ specific delivery of novel gene therapies to treat rare genetic cardiac and renal diseases. Mutations in the MYBPC3 gene are the most common cause of inherited HCM. Early investigations suggest that gene therapy-mediated gene transfer can lead to widespread expression of the gene product, cardiac myosin-binding protein C (MyBP-C), in cardiac tissue, which can normalize cardiac hypertrophy, improve relaxation kinetics and potentially alleviate functional deficits in individuals suffering from cardiomyopathy. BioMarin’s goal is to file an IND for BMN 293 in the second half of 2023.

Change in Non-GAAP Measures Beginning in 2023
Beginning with the first quarter of 2023, the Company defines Non-GAAP Income as GAAP Net Income excluding amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, and certain other specified items. Reflecting this change in the Company’s full year 2022 financial results as detailed above would have lowered the Company’s full year 2022 Non-GAAP Income by $73.8 million and its full year 2022 Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS) by $0.38. The Company is also introducing a new Non-GAAP financial measure, Non-GAAP Diluted EPS, which is defined as Non-GAAP Income divided by Non-GAAP diluted shares outstanding. Refer to page 10 of this press release for a complete discussion of the Company’s current Non-GAAP financial information and reconciliations to comparable information reported under U.S. GAAP.

"We had an outstanding fourth quarter and 2022, with revenues from our two cornerstone medicines, BRUKINSA and tislelizumab, dramatically increasing as our global team continues to bring these innovative therapies to more patients and their caregivers," said John V. Oyler, Co-Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at BeiGene. "The final progression-free survival (PFS) analysis of the ALPINE trial demonstrating superior efficacy and a favorable cardiac safety profile compared to IMBRUVICA in relapsed/refractory (R/R) chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) and the recent U.S. FDA approval for BRUKINSA in adult patients with CLL/SLL were the most impactful of many recent milestones for our company and a testament to our commitment to following the science."

"Our fourth quarter results continue to demonstrate BeiGene’s commercial capability as well as our commitment to driving operational and financial excellence," said Julia Wang, Chief Financial Officer at BeiGene. "With our strong cash position and total product revenue reaching $1.3 billion in 2022, BeiGene is well positioned to leverage its global scale and financial strength for long-term growth."

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Financial Results

Revenue for the fourth quarter and full year 2022 was $380.1 million and $1.4 billion, respectively, compared to $214.0 million and $1.2 billion in the prior-year periods. The increase in total revenue in the quarter compared to the prior year is primarily attributable to sales of our internally developed products, BRUKINSA and tislelizumab; sales of in-licensed products from Amgen; and collaboration revenue from the Novartis agreements.

Product revenues totaled $339.0 million and $1.3 billion for the fourth quarter and full year 2022, respectively, compared to $196.8 million and $634.0 million in the prior-year periods, and include:
Global sales of BRUKINSA of $176.1 million and $564.7 million for the fourth quarter and full year 2022, respectively, compared to $87.6 million and $218.0 million in the prior-year periods;
Sales of tislelizumab in China of $102.2 million and $422.9 million for the fourth quarter and full year 2022, respectively, compared to $54.4 million and $255.1 million in the prior-year periods;
Sales of Amgen in-licensed products in China of $27.7 million and $114.6 million for the fourth quarter and full year 2022, respectively, compared to $20.3 million and $58.8 million in the prior-year periods. We began selling Amgen’s BLINCYTO (blinatumomab) in August 2021. Additionally, prior-year period sales do not include sales of KYPROLIS (carfilzomib), which was launched in China in January 2022;
Sales of BMS in-licensed products in China of $21.4 million and $94.3 million for the fourth quarter and full year 2022, respectively, compared to $29.9 million and $89.7 million in the prior-year periods; and
Collaboration revenue totaled $41.1 million and $161.3 million for the fourth quarter and full year 2022, respectively, resulting from the partial recognition of the upfront payments from Novartis related to the tislelizumab and ociperlimab agreements, which were entered into in the first and fourth quarters of 2021. This compared to $17.2 million and $542.3 million in the prior-year periods. Full year 2021 collaboration revenue benefited from the timing of revenue recognition from the upfront license payment from Novartis under the tislelizumab agreement.
Cost of Sales for the fourth quarter and full year 2022 were $73.5 million and $286.5 million, respectively, compared to $48.5 million and $164.9 million in the prior-year periods. Cost of sales increased primarily due to increased product sales of BRUKINSA and tislelizumab, as well as sales of BLINCYTO, which commenced in August 2021, and KYPROLIS and POBEVCY, which commenced in January 2022;

Gross Margin as a percentage of global product sales for the fourth quarter and full year 2022 was 78.3% and 77.2%, respectively, compared to 75.3% and 74.0% in the prior-year periods. The gross margin percentage increased in both the quarter-over-quarter and year-over year periods primarily due to a proportionally higher sales mix of global BRUKINSA sales compared to other products in our portfolio and compared to lower margin sales of in-licensed products, as well as lower costs per unit for both BRUKINSA and tislelizumab, partially offset by lower average selling prices in China for both BRUKINSA and tislelizumab.

Operating Expenses for the fourth quarter and full year 2022 were $775.2 million and $2.9 billion, respectively, compared to $737.2 million and $2.5 billion in the prior-year periods.

R&D Expenses for the fourth quarter and full year 2022 were $446.0 million and $1.6 billion, respectively, compared to $430.5 million and $1.5 billion in the prior-year periods. The increase in R&D expenses was primarily attributable to increases in headcount and costs related to investment in our discovery and development activities, including our continued efforts to internalize research and clinical development activities, partially offset by lower fees paid to clinical research organizations (CROs) for clinical trials. Upfront fees related to in-process R&D for in-licensed assets totaled $48.7 million and $68.7 million in the fourth quarter and full year 2022, respectively, compared to $30.0 million and $83.5 million in the prior-year periods. Employee share-based compensation expense was $35.0 million and $139.3 million for the fourth quarter and full year 2022, respectively, compared to $30.6 million and $114.4 million in the prior-year periods; and
SG&A Expenses for the fourth quarter and full year 2022 were $329.0 million and $1.3 billion, respectively, compared to $306.5 million and $990.1 million in the prior-year periods. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily attributable to increased headcount, largely related to continued expansion of our commercial teams, and higher external commercial expenses, including market access studies and promotional activities. Employee share-based compensation expense was $43.2 million and $163.8 million for the fourth quarter and full year 2022, respectively, compared to $32.4 million and $126.4 million for the prior-year periods.
Net Loss for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $445.3 million, or $0.33 per share and $4.29 per ADS, compared to $590.7 million, or $0.48 per share and $6.22 per ADS in the prior year period. The decrease in net loss is primarily attributable to improved operating leverage due to growing product revenues exceeding operating expense growth. The company expects this trend to continue into 2023. Net loss for full year 2022 was $2.0 billion, or $1.49 per share and $19.43 per ADS, compared to $1.5 billion, or $1.21 per share and $15.71 per ADS in the prior-year period. Net loss for 2022 was unfavorably impacted by other non-operating expenses of $223.9 million, primarily related to foreign exchange losses resulting from the strengthening of the U.S. dollar and the revaluation impact of foreign currencies held in U.S. functional currency subsidiaries. Net loss for the full year 2021 was positively impacted by the timing of revenue recognition related to the Novartis tislelizumab collaboration agreement. The company recognized $484.6 million in the full year 2021 of the $650.0 million upfront payment received.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash and Short-Term Investments were $4.5 billion as of December 31, 2022, compared to $6.6 billion as of December 31, 2021.

In the fourth quarter of 2022, cash used in operating activities was $318.2 million, primarily due to our net loss of $445.3 million, offset by non-cash charges of $127.3 million; capital expenditures were $121.4 million; and cash used in financing activities was $110.4 million;

In the fourth quarter of the prior year, cash used in operating activities was $507.8 million, primarily due to our net loss of $590.7 million, offset by non-cash charges of $92.7 million; capital expenditures were $115.0 million; and cash provided by financing activities was $3.4 billion, primarily due to the STAR Market offering in December of 2021; and

For the full year 2022, cash used in operating activities was $1.5 billion, primarily due to our net loss of $2.0 billion, inclusive of $223.9 million of other losses due primarily to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar and the related revaluation of foreign currencies held by U.S. functional currency subsidiaries, non-cash charges of $374.8 million and a decrease in our net operating assets and liabilities of $132.4 million.

For the full year 2021, cash used in operating activities was $1.3 billion, primarily due to our net loss of $1.5 billion and an increase in our net operating assets and liabilities of $118.3 million, partially offset by non-cash charges of $277.4 million; capital expenditures were $262.9 million; and cash provided by financing activities was $3.6 billion, primarily due to the net proceeds from the STAR Market offering in December of 2021.
