“We are off to a great start for the year. Strong sales growth in our Pharma business and continued margin expansion in our Beauty and Closures businesses helped us achieve double-digit earnings per share growth over the prior year quarter. Our Pharma segment continued to see healthy market demand and our proprietary drug delivery systems continued to show robust growth after growing more than 30% in the prior year quarter. Additionally, North America showed positive momentum across all three segments. Our teams remain focused on cost management and improved operational leverage, and were able to decrease selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses as a percentage of sales over the prior year quarter,” said Stephan B. Tanda, Aptar President and CEO, commenting on the first quarter results.

(1) - Currency effects are approximated by translating last year's amounts at this year's foreign exchange rates.

Aptar Pharma had an increase in reported sales of 14% and cores sales of 13% over the prior year quarter. The segment’s strong performance was driven by continued growth for proprietary drug delivery systems used for emergency medicine, allergic rhinitis, asthma, and central nervous system therapeutics, as well as nasal saline rinses and nasal decongestants. As a reminder, core sales for proprietary drug delivery systems are expected to be within the 7-11% long-term target range for the year, after exceptionally strong double-digit growth in 2023. Sales improved for the Injectables division, rebounding from the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) implementation headwind that impacted the first quarter results of 2023. Strong demand for elastomeric components used for biologics continued to grow in the quarter.

Aptar Beauty’s reported sales were flat compared to the prior year quarter, and with currency effects core sales were down slightly. The segment’s core sales faced difficult comparisons — coming off 9% core sales growth in the prior year quarter. While volumes increased modestly, pricing and resin pass throughs negatively impacted the quarter. Sales for fragrance dispensing solutions increased slightly, as market demand began to normalize. In North America, sales showed signs of improvement, particularly in the skincare category. Additionally, margins continued to improve over the prior year quarter, due to operational performance and ongoing cost management.

Aptar Closures’ reported sales increased 2% over the prior year quarter and the segment’s core sales increased 1%, which does not include contributions from acquisitions and normalizes currency effects. In North America, increased personal care and home care sales, as well as strong tooling sales in food technologies contributed to the improvement. This positive impact was offset by lower beverage sales in Europe as customers continued to transition to a new tethered cap closure in compliance with European Union (EU) regulations. Margins for Closures improved modestly over the prior year quarter due to cost containment efforts and operational performance.

Aptar reported first quarter earnings per share of $1.23, an increase of 50%, compared to $0.82 reported a year ago. Current year adjusted earnings per share, excluding restructuring charges, acquisition costs, and the unrealized gains or losses on an equity investment, were $1.26 and increased 31% from prior year adjusted earnings per share of $0.96, including comparable exchange rates. The prior year’s adjusted earnings included an effective tax rate of 25.6% (approximately $0.07 per share negative impact compared to the current year effective tax rate of 20.6%).

Outlook

Regarding Aptar’s outlook, Tanda stated, “The year is off to a great start and we will continue to build on our momentum in the second quarter. We anticipate demand for our proprietary drug delivery systems and elastomeric components for biologics to continue to grow in the second quarter, and we expect Pharma’s strong performance to continue throughout the year. We also expect demand to build for our consumer dispensing technologies in the second quarter as the destocking abates in North America. Additionally, both Beauty and Closures will continue to focus on improving operational performance and ongoing cost management, including optimizing our footprint. We are energized for 2024, which we anticipate will be another dynamic year for us, as we continue to focus on accelerating growth and improving profitability.”

Aptar currently expects earnings per share for the second quarter of 2024, excluding any restructuring expenses, changes in the fair value of equity investments and acquisition costs, to be in the range of $1.30 to $1.38. This guidance is based on an effective tax rate range of 22% to 24% which compares to the prior year effective tax rate of 25%. The earnings per share guidance range was based on spot rates at the end of March for all currencies. Our currency exchange rate assumptions equate to an approximately $0.01 per share tailwind when compared to the prior year second quarter earnings.

Cash Dividends and Share Repurchases

As previously announced, Aptar’s Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.41 per share. The payment date is May 16, 2024, to stockholders of record as of April 25, 2024. During the first quarter, Aptar repurchased 86 thousand shares for approximately $12 million. 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 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.
