Previous wording

We continue to pursue the corporate strategy we announced in 2024, which is focused on innovation, growth, and value commitment, which includes, among other things, the acceleration or discontinuation of certain programs, the continued expansion of our pipeline, updates to our commercial organizational model, and cost transformation. If we are unable to successfully execute our strategy, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

Our corporate strategy is focused on innovation, growth, and value commitment, which includes, among other things, the acceleration or discontinuation of certain programs, the continued expansion of our pipeline, updates to our commercial organizational model, and cost transformation. If we are unable to successfully execute our strategy, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

Previous wording

As part of the strategy, we are continuing to advance VOXZOGOfor the treatment of conditions beyond achondroplasia, including hypochondroplasia, idiopathic short stature, and Noonan syndrome. VOXZOGO addresses larger patient populations than most of our other products, and product candidates that we are currently developing or may license or acquire in the future may be intended for similarly larger patient populations than we have historically targeted. We are also expanding our pipeline through external innovation. In April 2026, we acquired Amicus Therapeutics, Inc. (Amicus) to expand and diversify our rare disease product portfolio (the Amicus Acquisition). In addition, in July 2025 we acquired Inozyme Pharma, Inc. (Inozyme) to strengthen our Enzyme Therapies portfolio, adding a late-stage enzyme replacement therapy, BMN 401 (formerly INZ-701). In order to continue the development of our product candidates and marketing of products with larger markets, we will need to continue expanding our operations. To manage expansion effectively, we need to continue to develop and improve our research and development capabilities, manufacturing and quality capacities, sales and marketing capabilities, financial and administrative systems and standard processes for global operations. Our staff, financial resources, systems, procedures or controls may be inadequate to support our operations and may increase our exposure to regulatory, competitive, and corruption risks and our management may be unable to manage successfully current or future market opportunities or our relationships with customers and other third parties.

Previous wording

As part of our new corporate strategy, we have acquired, entered into agreements to acquire, and may continue to acquire, companies or businesses that we believe could complement, expand or enhance our product offerings. For example, in April 2026, we acquired Amicus to expand and diversify our rare disease product portfolio. In addition, in July 2025, we completed the acquisition of Inozyme to strengthen our Enzyme Therapies portfolio with BMN 401, which is currently being assessed for the treatment of ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1 (ENPP1) deficiency. Our acquisition strategy may divert the attention of management and cause us to incur various expenses in identifying, investigating and pursuing suitable acquisitions, whether or not such acquisitions are consummated.

Previous wording

In addition, once an acquisition is closed, integrating our business practices and operations with the acquired business’ so that we can fully realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition could require us to devote significant management attention and resources. The success of current and future acquisitions will depend, in part, on our ability to realize the anticipated benefits from successfully combining our and the acquired businesses’ operations. We may face risks or experience difficulties successfully integrating acquired businesses, such as Inozyme or Amicus, with our operations. Such difficulties could result in the failure to achieve revenue that we anticipate, the loss of key employees that may be difficult to replace in the very competitive pharmaceutical field, the failure to harmonize both companies’ corporate cultures, the disruption of each company’s ongoing businesses or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies that adversely affect our ability to maintain relationships with suppliers, collaboration partners, clinical trial investigators or managers of our clinical trials. See “—Risks Related to the Amicus Acquisition” in this section for additional risks related to the Amicus Acquisition.

Previous wording

Acquisitions could also result in dilutive issuances of equity securities, the incurrence of debt, contingent liabilities, amortization expenses, impairment of goodwill and/or purchased long-lived assets, and restructuring charges, any of which could adversely affect our operating results and financial condition. For example, we have incurred significant indebtedness in connection with the Amicus Acquisition. In addition, acquired product candidates, such as BMN 401, may not result in regulatory approval, may not perform as expected, may not be successful, may require significantly greater resources and investments than originally anticipated or may not produce the revenues, earnings or business synergies that we anticipated. As a result, the anticipated benefits of an acquisition may not be realized fully within the expected timeframe or at all or may take longer to realize or cost more than expected, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.

For example, we have incurred significant indebtedness in connection with the Amicus Acquisition. In addition, as experienced with BMN 401, acquired product candidates have not and may not perform as expected, may not result in regulatory approval, may not be successful, may require significantly greater resources and investments than originally anticipated or may not produce the revenues, earnings or business synergies that we anticipated. As a result, the anticipated benefits of an acquisition may not be realized fully within the expected timeframe or at all or may take longer to realize or cost more than expected, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.

Previous wording

Our competitors may develop, manufacture and market products that are more effective or less expensive than ours. They may also obtain regulatory approvals for their products faster than we can obtain them (including those products with orphan drug designation, which may prevent us from marketing our product entirely for seven years, along with other regulatory exclusivities that could block approval) or commercialize their products before we do. With respect to VOXZOGO, we face competition from other companies that have developed, and may in the future develop, products for treatment for achondroplasia. As we commercialize our products, we have faced and may continue to face intense competition from other pharmaceutical companies, some of which may have more extensive resources and/or established relationships in the communities we seek to treat. If we do not compete successfully, our revenues would be adversely affected, and we may be unable to generate sufficient sales to recover our expenses related to the development of a product program or to justify continued marketing of a product.

With respect to VOXZOGO, we face competition from other companies that have developed, and may in the future develop, products for treatment for achondroplasia. In addition, we face competition with respect to GALAFOLD and POMBILITI + OPFOLDA from several large pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies that currently market and sell products for the treatment of Fabry disease and Pompe disease. As we commercialize our products, we have faced and may continue to face intense competition from other pharmaceutical companies, some of which may have more extensive resources and/or established relationships in the communities we seek to treat. If we do not compete successfully, our revenues would be adversely affected, and we may be unable to generate sufficient sales to recover our expenses related to the development of a product program or to justify continued marketing of a product.

Previous wording

We also face competition from generic versions of our products. For example, generic versions of KUVAN are available in several countries around the world, including in the U.S. and the European Union (EU), which has adversely affected and will continue to adversely affect our revenues from KUVAN. Competitors launching generic versions of our products independently establish the price of such products and determine the types of discounts or rebates they will offer parties that purchase or pay for the product. Generic competition often results in decreases in the net prices at which branded products can be sold. After any introduction of a generic product, a significant percentage of the prescriptions written for our branded products will likely be filled with the generic product. Certain U.S. state laws allow for, and in some instances in the absence of specific instructions from the prescribing physician mandate, the dispensing of generic products rather than branded products when a generic version is available. We expect that the approval and launch of generic versions of our products and the approval and launch of branded products that compete with our products will continue to have a negative impact and could have a material adverse effect on our sales of our products and on our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.

We have in the past entered and may in the future enter into licensing arrangements with third parties. It is possible that we may not achieve financial or strategic benefits that justify a specific license, or we may otherwise not realize the benefits of such licensing arrangement. Further, licensing arrangements impose various diligence, milestone and royalty payment and other obligations on us. If we fail to comply with our obligations under any current or future licenses, our licensors may have the right to terminate these license agreements, which could harm our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, counterparties to our license agreements have in the past alleged and may in the future allege that we have breached a license agreement, which can result in litigation or other disputes that can divert management’s attention away from our business and require us to expend resources, as well as potentially having to negotiate new or reinstated licenses with less favorable terms. Any such situation could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Current wording

We have in the past entered and may in the future enter into licensing arrangements with third parties, either directly or through an acquisition, such as Amicus’ collaboration agreement with respect to GALAFOLD. It is possible that we may not achieve financial or strategic benefits that justify a specific license, or we may otherwise not realize the benefits of such licensing arrangement. Further, licensing arrangements impose various diligence, milestone and royalty payment and other obligations on us. If we fail to comply with our obligations under any current or future licenses, our licensors may have the right to terminate these license agreements, which could harm our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Previous wording

The success of the Amicus Acquisition will depend, in part, on our ability to realize the anticipated benefits from successfully combining our and Amicus’ businesses. We plan on devoting substantial management attention and resources to integrating our and Amicus’ businesses so that we can fully realize the anticipated benefits of the Amicus Acquisition. This integration process may be disruptive to our and Amicus’ businesses, and, if implemented ineffectively, could restrict realization of the expected benefits of the Amicus Acquisition. In addition, the acquired Amicus business, including GALAFOLD and POMBILITI + OPFOLDA, may not be successful, may require greater resources and investments than originally anticipated or may result in the assumption of unknown or contingent liabilities, which could have an adverse effect on us or our results of operations and our financial guidance.

Any of these risks could adversely affect our ability to maintain relationships with collaboration partners, vendors, employees and other commercial relationships or adversely affect our future operational results. As a result, the anticipated benefits of the Amicus Acquisition may not be realized or at all or may take longer to realize or cost more than expected, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, including our ability to generate sufficient cash to service our indebtedness, including our 1.25% senior subordinated convertible notes due in 2027 (the 2027 Notes), our 5.5% senior unsecured notes due in 2034 (the 2034 Notes and together with the 2027 Notes, the Notes) and any loans outstanding under the 2026 Credit Agreement (as defined below), results of operations, growth prospects and our financial guidance, and we may be forced to take other actions to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness, which may not be successful. In addition, changes in laws and regulations could adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects. Furthermore, the risks discussed above could also adversely affect our ability to accurately forecast the operational and financial performance of the combined company, including key financial metrics and prospects. If we are unable to accurately forecast and meet our financial guidance, our stock price can be materially adversely affected.

Previous wording

The benefits that we expect to achieve as a result of the Amicus Acquisition will depend, in part, on our ability to realize anticipated cost savings, including resulting from expected operational synergies and global infrastructure efficiencies. After the Amicus Acquisition, we believe that we will be able to, among other matters, save on our costs by being able to streamline administrative processes and harmonize global distribution of the two companies.

Following the closing of the Amicus Acquisition, we believe that we will be able to, among other matters, save on our costs by being able to streamline administrative processes and harmonize global distribution of the two companies.

Previous wording

Our success in realizing these cost savings, and the timing of this realization, depends on many factors. Even if we are able to consummate the Amicus Acquisition successfully, this may not result in the full realization of the cost savings that we currently expect, either within the expected timeframe, or at all. In addition, we cannot assure you that the costs to achieve these cost savings will not be higher than we anticipated. Therefore, we cannot assure you that any anticipated cost savings will be achieved or that our estimates and assumptions will prove to be accurate. If our cost savings are less than our estimates or our costs savings initiatives adversely affect our business or cost more or take longer to implement than we project, or if our assumptions prove to be inaccurate, our results could be lower than we anticipate.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information contained in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on January 26, 2026 is presented for illustrative purposes only and may differ materially from what our actual financial position or results of operations would have been had the Amicus Acquisition been completed on the dates indicated. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was derived from our and Amicus’ audited and unaudited historical financial statements and certain adjustments and assumptions have been made regarding the combined company after giving effect to the Amicus Acquisition and related transactions. The assets and liabilities of Amicus were measured at fair value based on various preliminary estimates using assumptions that we believed were reasonable utilizing information currently available. The process for estimating the fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities requires the use of judgment in determining the appropriate assumptions and estimates. These estimates may be revised as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed. Differences between preliminary estimates in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and the final acquisition accounting will occur and could have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and the ultimate combined company’s financial position and future results of operations.

Our marketed products have received regulatory approval to be commercially marketed and sold in the U.S., the EU, and certain other countries. Any product for which we have obtained regulatory approval, or for which we obtain regulatory approval in the future, along with the manufacturing processes and practices, post-approval clinical research, product labeling, advertising and promotional activities for such product, are subject to continual requirements of, and review by, the FDA, the EC, the EMA and/or other comparable international and national regulatory authorities. These requirements include submissions of safety and other post-marketing information and reports, registration and listing requirements, current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) requirements relating to manufacturing, quality control, quality assurance and corresponding maintenance of records and documents, import and export requirements and record keeping.

Moreover, if original FDA approval for one of our product candidates is granted via the accelerated approval pathway, we will be required to conduct a post-marketing confirmatory trial to verify and describe the clinical benefit in support of full approval. An unsuccessful post-marketing study or failure to complete such a study with due diligence could result in the withdrawal of the FDA’s marketing approval for a product candidate. For example, VOXZOGO is approved in the U.S. under accelerated approval based on an improvement in annualized growth velocity. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in confirmatory studies. To fulfill this post-marketing requirement, we intend to use our ongoing open-label extension studies compared to available natural history. In addition, the FDA and the EC often require post-marketing testing and surveillance to monitor the effects of products. The FDA, the EC and other comparable international regulatory authorities may condition approval of our product candidates on the completion of such post-marketing clinical studies. These post-marketing studies may suggest that a product causes undesirable side effects or may present a risk to the patient.

Our ALDURAZYME, BRINEURA, NAGLAZYME, PALYNZIQ and VIMIZIM products are regulated by the FDA as biologics under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and the Public Health Service Act (the PHS Act). Biologics require the submission of a Biologics License Application (BLA) and licensure by the FDA prior to being marketed in the U.S. The Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act of 2009 (BPCIA) created a regulatory pathway under the PHS Act for the abbreviated licensure of biological products that are demonstrated to be “biosimilar” to or “interchangeable” with an FDA-licensed biological product. A similar abridged MA process is available to biosimilar products in the EU. In the EU, a biosimilar is typically defined as a biological medicine similar to another already approved biological medicine. Developers of biosimilars are required to demonstrate by the best possible means that their biological medicine is highly similar to the reference medicine in physicochemical and biological terms, notwithstanding natural variability inherent to all biological medicines; and that any observed differences are duly justified with regard to their potential impact on safety and efficacy.

Disruptions at regulatory authorities and government agencies due to changes in funding levels, government shutdowns, reorganization, reduction in force or statutory, regulatory and policy changes can affect their ability to hire and retain key personnel and carry out their normal functions that support our business. For example, the current U.S. administration recently implemented or proposed policies, including substantial reductions to the FDA’s workforce, that may affect the FDA’s review process and hinder the ability of the FDA to timely review and approve regulatory submissions for our product candidates. In addition, funding of other regulatory authorities and government agencies on which our operations rely, including those that fund research and development activities, is subject to the political budget process, which is inherently fluid and unpredictable.

As of March 31, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $2.2 billion, restricted cash equivalents of $850.0 million and debt obligations of $1.5 billion (undiscounted), which consisted of the Notes. In April 2026, we incurred $2.0 billion of indebtedness under a senior secured term loan B facility (the Term Loan B Facility) and $800.0 million of indebtedness under a senior secured term loan A facility (the Term Loan A Facility and, together with the Term Loan B Facility, the Term Facilities) and entered into a $600.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the Revolving Facility and, together with the Term Facilities, the 2026 Senior Secured Credit Facilities. The 2027 Notes, if not converted, will be required to be repaid in cash at maturity in May 2027. We will need cash not only to pay the ongoing interest due on the Notes and under the credit agreement governing the 2026 Senior Secured Credit Facilities (the 2026 Credit Agreement), but also to repay the principal amounts associated with the 2027 Notes (if not converted), the 2034 Notes and any Loans (as defined therein) outstanding under the 2026 Credit Agreement.

In April 2026, we incurred indebtedness under the Term Facilities and entered into a $600.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the 2026 Revolving Facility and, together with the Term Facilities, the 2026 Senior Secured Credit Facilities). The 2027 Notes, if not converted, will be required to be repaid in cash at maturity in May 2027. We will need cash not only to pay the ongoing interest due on the Notes and under the credit agreement governing the 2026 Senior Secured Credit Facilities (the 2026 Credit Agreement), but also to repay the principal amounts associated with the 2027 Notes (if not converted), the 2034 Notes and any Loans (as defined therein) outstanding under the 2026 Credit Agreement.

Previous wording

As of March 31, 2026, we had $1.5 billion (undiscounted) principal amount of indebtedness, all of which was outstanding under the Notes. In August 2024, we entered into an unsecured credit agreement (the 2024 Credit Agreement) with Citibank, N.A., as the administrative agent, and the other lenders party thereto, providing for $600.0 million in revolving loan commitments (the 2024 Credit Facility). As of March 31, 2026, no amounts were outstanding under the 2024 Credit Facility. The 2024 Credit Facility was terminated in April 2026. In April 2026, we entered into the 2026 Credit Agreement providing for the $2.0 billion Term Loan B Facility, the $800.0 million Term Loan A Facility and the $600.0 million Revolving Facility. Our indebtedness may:

As of June 30, 2026, we had $4.3 billion (undiscounted) principal amount of indebtedness outstanding under the Notes and the Term Facilities. As of June 30, 2026, no amount was outstanding under the 2026 Revolving Facility. Our indebtedness may:

Previous wording

In addition, the indenture governing our 2034 Notes and the 2026 Credit Agreement contain, and any future indebtedness that we may incur may contain, financial and/or other restrictive covenants that limit our ability to operate our business, raise capital or make payments under our other indebtedness. If we fail to comply with these covenants or to make payments under our indebtedness when due, then we would be in default under that indebtedness, which could, in turn, result in that and our other indebtedness becoming immediately payable in full. If we default under the 2026 Credit Agreement or the indentures governing our Notes, the outstanding borrowings thereunder could become immediately due and payable, the Revolving Facility lenders could refuse to permit additional borrowings under the Revolving Facility, or it could lead to defaults under agreements governing our current or future indebtedness, including the 2026 Credit Agreement and the indentures governing the Notes, as applicable

As of March 31, 2026, our outstanding indebtedness consisted of the 2027 Notes, which, if not converted, will be required to be repaid in cash at maturity in May 2027 and the 2034 Notes, which will be required to be repaid in cash at maturity in February 2034. While we could seek to obtain additional third-party financing to pay for any amounts due in cash upon maturity of the Notes, we cannot be sure that such third-party financing will be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. If not sooner repaid, loans outstanding under our Term Loan B Facility will be required to be repaid in cash at maturity in April 2033 and loans outstanding under our Term Loan A Facility and Revolving Facility will be required to be repaid in cash at maturity in April 2031.

We currently rely on third parties for portions of the manufacture of each of our products. If those manufacturers are unwilling or unable to fulfill their contractual obligations or satisfy demand outside of or in excess of the contractual obligations, we may be unable to meet demand for these products or sell these products at all and we may lose potential revenue. Further, the availability of suitable contract manufacturing capacity at scheduled or optimum times is not certain.

Current wording

In addition, we currently rely on third parties for all or portions of the manufacture of our products. For example, GALAFOLD and POMBILITI are manufactured by single-source third-party manufacturers. If those manufacturers are unwilling or unable to fulfill their contractual obligations or satisfy demand outside of or in excess of the contractual obligations, we may be unable to meet demand for these products or sell these products at all and we may lose potential revenue. Further, the availability of suitable contract manufacturing capacity at scheduled or optimum times is not certain.

Previous wording

A significant and growing portion of our revenues and earnings, as well as our substantial international assets and liabilities, are exposed to changes in foreign exchange rates. As we operate in multiple foreign currencies, including the Euro, the Brazilian Real, the Japanese Yen, the Canadian Dollar, the Argentine Peso, the Colombian Peso, the Mexican Peso, the British Pound and several other currencies, changes in those currencies relative to the U.S. Dollar (USD) have in the past and may in the future impact our revenues and expenses. If the USD were to weaken against another currency (as has been the case against the Euro in 2025), assuming all other variables remained constant, our revenues would increase, having a positive impact on earnings, and our overall expenses would increase, having a negative impact on earnings. Conversely, if the USD were to strengthen against another currency (as was the case for many currencies in 2022), assuming all other variables remained constant, our revenues would decrease, having a negative impact on earnings, and our overall expenses would decrease, having a positive impact on earnings. In addition, because our financial statements are reported in USD, changes in currency exchange rates between the USD and other currencies have had, and will continue to have, an impact on our results of operations. Therefore, significant changes in foreign exchange rates can impact our results and our financial guidance.

The ongoing trade tensions between the United States and other jurisdictions have resulted in multiple rounds of tariffs and anticipated tariffs affecting pharmaceuticals and pharmaceutical ingredients, including finished drug products, manufacturing equipment, and related supplies. Such tariffs may significantly increase our costs for certain products. The Bureau of Industry and Security, U.S. Department of Commerce, has initiated an investigation to determine whether pharmaceutical ingredients, including finished drug product, manufactured outside the United States pose a national security risk and should be subject to additional tariffs. Following that investigation, the President announced a proclamation which will impose 100% tariffs on patented pharmaceutical products and associated pharmaceutical ingredients. We are continuing to assess the potential impact of the proclamation on our business. Unlike consumer goods, pharmaceuticals face unique regulatory constraints that make rapid supply chain adjustments particularly difficult and costly. Since we conduct manufacturing and packaging operations in Ireland for certain of our products and also engage contract manufacturers around the world, the import of our products into the United States is subject to tariffs. Notwithstanding the U.S. Supreme Court's recent decision invalidating tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, the magnitude and impact of tariffs are uncertain and are subject to a variety of factors, including the effective date and duration of additional tariffs, changes in the amount, scope and nature of tariffs in the future, including as a result of litigation or other challenges, any retaliatory tariffs that other countries may impose in response to tariffs levied by the United States and any mitigating actions that may become available. Trade restrictions and export regulations, or increases in tariffs and additional taxes, including any retaliatory measures, could negatively impact demand, increase our supply chain complexity and our manufacturing costs, decrease margins, reduce the competitiveness of our products, or restrict our ability to sell products, provide services or purchase necessary equipment and supplies, any or all of which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations, or financial condition. In addition, the dynamic and unpredictable tariff and trade landscape creates substantial uncertainty and significant planning challenges for our operations and complicates our long-term investment decisions regarding manufacturing facilities, supply chain optimization, and research and development locations.
