Aptar Reports Second Quarter 2023 Results
Crystal Lake, Illinois, July 27, 2023 -- AptarGroup, Inc. (NYSE:ATR), a global leader in drug and consumer product dosing, dispensing and protection technologies, today reported strong operational performance driven by continued growth of the company’s proprietary drug delivery systems and significant sequential improvement in injectables sales as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system implementation effects moderated. Strong sales from prestige and mass fragrance also contributed positively to the results. Reported sales increased by 6% and core sales, excluding currency and acquisition effects, increased by 4%. Aptar reported net income of $83 million for the quarter, a 31% increase over the prior year.
Commenting on the second quarter results, Stephan B. Tanda, Aptar President and CEO, said, “Aptar delivered strong, double-digit EPS growth in the second quarter, highlighted by increased core sales in our pharma proprietary dosing and dispensing systems and the success of our beauty dispensing solutions in fragrance. Our strong performance coupled with our ongoing efforts to reduce costs, resulted in improved margins. Additionally, I am proud to share the ESG progress made by our global team, with the recent release of our Corporate Sustainability Report, which highlights key milestones, strategic progress and the competitive advantage our leading position affords us.”

Aptar Pharma’s performance in the quarter was driven by strong core sales for proprietary drug delivery systems used for nasal decongestants, saline rinses, eye care, and cough and cold, as well as allergic rhinitis, emergency medicines, asthma and COPD therapies. Core sales for injectables were consistent with the prior year quarter as the impact from the ERP system implementation improved progressively.
Aptar Beauty’s core sales growth was driven by continued strength in beauty dispensing solutions, including prestige and mass fragrance, as well as color cosmetics. The segment continued to perform well in Europe, which represented more than half of Beauty’s revenue in the quarter, driven by global beauty companies based in the region. China and Latin America continued to see gradual improvements, while in North America, market softness persisted from excess inventories in the personal and home care markets.
Core sales for the Aptar Closures segment declined compared with the prior year’s quarter primarily due to pass-throughs of lower resin prices and continued market challenges in North America, with modest sales growth in Europe and Asia.
Aptar reported second quarter earnings per share of $1.24, an increase of 31%, compared to $0.95 during the same period a year ago. Second quarter adjusted earnings per share, excluding restructuring charges and the unrealized gains or losses on an equity investment, were $1.23, an increase of 26%, compared to $0.98 in the prior year, including comparable exchange rates.
Year-To-Date Results
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, reported sales increased 4% to $1.76 billion compared to $1.69 billion in the prior year. Core sales, excluding the impact from changes in currency exchange rates and acquisitions, increased 4%.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, Aptar’s reported earnings per share were $2.07, an increase of 10%, compared to $1.88 reported a year ago. In the first half of the year, adjusted earnings per share, excluding restructuring charges, acquisition costs, and the unrealized gains or losses on an equity investment, were $2.18 and increased 14% from prior year adjusted earnings per share of $1.91, including comparable exchange rates. The prior year’s adjusted earnings included an effective tax rate of 28% (approximately $0.08 cents per share impact compared to the current year effective tax rate of 25%).
Outlook
Regarding Aptar’s outlook, Tanda stated, “As we continue to emerge from the challenging operating environment of the last few years, we are energized for the future and well positioned to create long-term value for all of our stakeholders. Aptar had an exceptionally strong first half of the year due to the tremendous growth of our pharma proprietary drug delivery systems and our fragrance dispensing technologies. The strengths of these core markets are expected to continue into the third quarter. Additionally, the team has done an excellent job focusing on reducing costs while growing the top line— an effort that is continuing. Our consistent track record of returning value to shareholders is underscored by our recently announced dividend increase of almost 8% and ongoing share repurchases.”
Aptar currently expects earnings per share for the third quarter of 2023, excluding any restructuring expenses, changes in the fair value of equity investments and acquisition costs, to be in the range of $1.23 to $1.31. This guidance is based on an effective tax rate range of 25% to 27% which compares to an effective tax rate of 28% on prior year adjusted earnings. The earnings per share guidance range was based on a Euro/US$ exchange rate of 1.09 and the spot rates at the end of June for all other currencies. Our currency exchange rate assumptions equate to an approximately $0.06 per share tailwind when compared to the prior year third quarter earnings.

Aptar may repurchase shares through the open market, privately negotiated transactions or other programs, subject to market conditions.

Presentation of Non-GAAP Information
This press release refers to certain non-GAAP financial measures, including current year adjusted earnings per share and adjusted EBITDA, which exclude the impact of business transformation charges (restructuring initiatives), acquisition-related costs, certain purchase accounting adjustments related to acquisitions and investments and net unrealized investment gains and losses related to observable market price changes on equity securities. Core sales and adjusted earnings per share also neutralize the impact of foreign currency translation effects when comparing current results to the prior year. Non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures provided by other companies. Aptar’s management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to our investors because they allow for a better period over period comparison of operating results by removing the impact of items that, in management’s view, do not reflect Aptar’s core operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures also provide investors with certain information used by Aptar’s management when making financial and operational decisions. Free cash flow is calculated as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures plus proceeds from government grants related to capital expenditures. We use free cash flow to measure cash flow generated by operations that is available for dividends, share repurchases, acquisitions and debt repayment. We believe that it is meaningful to investors in evaluating our financial performance and measuring our ability to generate cash internally to fund our initiatives. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financial results but should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and other information presented herein. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is included in the accompanying tables. Our outlook is provided on a non-GAAP basis because certain reconciling items are dependent on future events that either cannot be controlled, such as exchange rates and changes in the fair value of equity investments, or reliably predicted because they are not part of the company's routine activities, such as restructuring and acquisition costs.
