| Item 2.02. | Results of Operations and Financial Condition. |
On August 5, 2008, BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (the “Company”) announced financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2008. The Company’s press release issued on August 5, 2008 is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
In its press release the Company included net income for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2008 and an estimate of net income for the year ending December 31, 2008, each not determined in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The non-GAAP financial measures excluded the non-cash stock expense for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2008 and management’s estimate of non-cash stock expense for 2008. Reconciliations for such non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. Management believes this non-GAAP information is useful for investors taken in conjunction with the Company’s GAAP net income for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2008 and net income guidance for 2008 because management uses such information internally for its operating, budgeting and financial planning purposes, and to enhance investors’ overall understanding of the Company’s prospects for the future. Non-GAAP information is not prepared under a comprehensive set of accounting rules and should only be used to supplement an understanding of the Company’s performance in the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2008 and the Company’s 2008 financial guidance as reported under GAAP.
