Aptar Reports Third Quarter 2022 Results
Crystal Lake, Illinois, October 27, 2022 -- AptarGroup, Inc. (NYSE:ATR), a global leader in drug delivery, consumer product dispensing and active material science solutions and services, today reported net income of $54 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, a 15% increase over the prior year. Reported sales grew 1% and core sales, excluding currency and acquisition effects, increased by 9% over the prior year.
“Aptar performed well during the third quarter, delivering solid results while continuing to adapt to a challenging and uncertain economic backdrop. Our Pharma segment saw double-digit core sales growth, led by its prescription, consumer healthcare and active materials divisions. Beauty + Home had strong growth in Europe, especially in fragrance, but continued to be impacted by supply chain and labor issues in North America. Core sales in Food + Beverage were flat due to difficult comparisons with the prior year period, and were impacted by softening demand, especially in North America as our customers work off their inventory,” said Stephan B. Tanda, President and CEO, Aptar.
Third Quarter 2022 Summary
Reported sales grew 1% and net income increased 15% to $54 million
Core sales increased 9% and adjusted EBITDA was even with the prior year level of $154 million
Reported earnings per share increased 16% to $0.81 compared to $0.70 in the prior year
Adjusted earnings per share increased 12% to $0.95 compared to $0.85 in the prior year (including comparable exchange rates)
Strong sales growth in the quarter driven by strong volume growth in Pharma
Adjusted earnings per share includes a previously announced one-time inflation payment to certain European employees of approximately 5 cents per share
Tax rate of 36% includes a one-time tax charge related to legal entity reorganization; without this charge our tax rate would have been 28%
Third Quarter Results
For the quarter ended September 30, 2022, reported sales increased 1% to $837 million compared to $825 million in the prior year. Core sales, excluding the impact from changes in currency exchange rates and acquisitions, increased 9%.

Aptar’s Pharma segment had strong double-digit core sales growth driven primarily by significant demand from the prescription, consumer healthcare and active material markets. Sales growth benefited by the rebounding of allergies and increases in common colds across a wide variety of applications as well as an increase in asthma therapies. Increased demand for our devices used in emergency medical applications also contributed to our growth.
Aptar’s Beauty + Home segment continued to benefit from pricing initiatives and increased demand for prestige fragrance, sunscreen and hair care applications as a result of increased mobility and travel. Europe achieved strong growth in the quarter offset by declines in other regions, especially in North America due to ongoing labor shortages and supply chain issues, and in Asia where sporadic related lockdowns affected demand.

Core sales for Aptar’s Food + Beverage segment were even with the prior year, due to the difficult comparisons after a period of substantial growth in 2021. Volumes in the food and beverage markets decreased, primarily driven by weaker demand in North America, as customers work through their inventories. These decreases partially were offset by higher custom tooling sales, which typically have lower margins, and price increase initiatives.
Aptar reported third quarter earnings per share of $0.81, an increase of 16%, compared to $0.70 during the same period a year ago. Third quarter adjusted earnings per share, excluding restructuring charges, acquisition costs, a tax charge related to a legal entity reorganization and the unrealized gains or losses on an equity investment, were $0.95, an increase of 12%, compared to $0.85 in the prior year, including comparable exchange rates.
Year-to-Date Results
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, reported sales increased 5% to $2.53 billion compared to $2.41 billion in the prior year. Core sales, excluding the impact from changes in currency exchange rates and acquisitions, increased 11%.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, Aptar’s reported earnings per share were $2.70, a decrease of 2%, compared to $2.75 reported a year ago. Current year adjusted earnings per share, excluding restructuring charges, acquisition costs, a tax charge related to a legal entity reorganization and the unrealized gains or losses on an equity investment, were $2.87 and increased 5% from prior year adjusted earnings per share of $2.74, including comparable exchange rates. The prior year’s adjusted earnings included an effective tax rate of 23% (approximately $0.19 cents per share impact compared to current period effective tax rate of 28%).
Outlook
Regarding Aptar’s outlook, Tanda stated, “Looking to the fourth quarter, our Pharma segment is expected to continue to grow at more normalized levels, however, we do not expect to repeat last year’s strong sales of active material solutions for at-home COVID-19 test kits. We anticipate the softening in demand in markets such as personal care, food and beverage to continue. We remain focused on managing the inflationary environment through price initiatives and energy surcharges, as well as controlling expenses. We will continue to allocate capital selectively while maintaining our strong balance sheet.”
Aptar expects earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2022, excluding any restructuring expenses, changes in the fair value of equity investments and acquisition costs, to be in the range of $0.73 to $0.83. This guidance is based on an effective tax rate range of 28% to 30% which compares to an effective tax rate of 28% on prior year adjusted earnings. The earnings per share guidance range was based on a Euro/US$ exchange rate of 0.98 and the spot rates at the end of September for all other currencies. Our currency exchange rate assumptions equate to an approximately $0.08 per share headwind when compared to the prior year fourth quarter earnings.
Cash Dividends and Share Repurchases
As previously announced, Aptar’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.38 per share. The payment date is November 16, 2022, to stockholders of record as of October 26, 2022. With this dividend, Aptar will have completed its 29th consecutive year of paying an increased annual dividend total to stockholders. During the third quarter, Aptar repurchased 181 thousand shares for approximately $19 million, leaving $128 million authorized for common stock repurchases at the end of the third quarter. 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, and adjusted earnings per share further adjusts for the net effect of a tax payment related to a legal entity reorganization. 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.
