ATR AptarGroup Inc

AptarGroup, Inc. (NYSE:ATR), a global leader in drug and consumer product dosing, dispensing and protection technologies, today reported strong fourth quarter results due to solid operational performance driven by top and bottom line improvements. Results were driven by sales growth in pharma solutions, increased demand for closures technologies and productivity gains across the company. Reported sales increased by 1% and core sales increased by 2% due to a negative currency effect. Aptar reported net income of $101 million for the quarter, a 62% increase from the prior year. In addition, the quarterly results benefited from a lower effective tax rate.

“Aptar achieved another strong quarter and year, delivering back-to-back years of double-digit earnings per share growth. For the full year, our pharma franchise grew sales 8%, propelled by brisk demand for our proprietary drug delivery systems, which grew 9% in 2024. Our closures segment also finished the year strong with solid performance and good momentum. Net income for full year 2024 grew 32% over the prior year and we ended 2024 solidly in the middle of our long-term adjusted EBITDA margin range, with significant margin expansion in our pharma and closures segments. Our beauty segment was able to improve its margin even with a challenged top line, driven by increased productivity and cost management efforts. In 2024, net cash provided by operations increased 12% along with lower capital expenditures, which generated a free cash flow increase of 40%,” said Stephan B. Tanda, Aptar President and CEO.

Aptar Pharma’s reported sales and core sales increased 4% from the prior year quarter. The segment’s solid performance was driven by continued demand for proprietary drug delivery systems used for allergic rhinitis, emergency medicines and central nervous system therapies, as well as royalty revenues, boosting adjusted EBITDA margins to 36%. Sales from nasal decongestants and saline rinses declined in the quarter due to the weaker 2023-2024 cold and flu season driving customers to adjust inventories. The active material science division grew double digits, reflecting higher tooling sales and a more favorable product mix.

Aptar Beauty’s reported sales decreased 5% and core sales were down 3% compared to the prior year quarter due to mix and lower tooling sales. Unit volume for the segment grew slightly in the quarter driven by improving sales in North America and Latin America. While the beauty segment saw sales growth in masstige fragrance, personal care and home care, this growth could not offset lower tooling sales, and lower sales from prestige fragrance and skincare technologies.

Aptar Closures’ reported sales increased 5% from the prior year quarter and the segment’s core sales increased 7%. The increase in core sales was driven by demand across a number of end markets including food and beverage. Closures delivered another solid quarter and the segment’s margin improved 260 basis points over the prior year period driven by the benefit of higher sales and continued cost containment efforts.

Aptar reported fourth quarter earnings per share of $1.49, an increase of 60%, compared to $0.93 during the same period a year ago. Fourth quarter adjusted earnings per share, excluding restructuring charges and the unrealized gains or losses on an equity investment, were $1.52, an increase of 27%, compared to $1.20 in the prior year, including comparable exchange rates. The fourth quarter effective tax rate was 13%, due to a tax benefit as part of our ongoing tax planning, compared to the prior year effective tax rate of 23%. Aptar’s fourth quarter guide included a higher tax rate in anticipation of a retroactive increase in the French corporate income tax rate that did not materialize in 2024.

Annual Results

For the year ended December 31, 2024, reported sales increased 3% to $3.58 billion compared to $3.49 billion in the prior year. Core sales also increased 3%.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, Aptar’s reported earnings per share were $5.53, an increase of 30%, compared to $4.25 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 $5.64 and increased 18% from prior year adjusted earnings per share of $4.79, including comparable exchange rates. The current year had an effective tax rate of 20% compared to the prior year effective tax rate of 24%. Capital expenditures stepped down for the year and were $276 million due to the completion of large capital projects.

Outlook

Regarding Aptar’s outlook, Tanda stated, “We anticipate 2025 to be another strong year for Aptar. Having said that, in the first quarter we expect significant negative impacts from foreign currencies and a higher effective tax rate compared to the prior year quarter, as well as softer demand in certain end markets. Looking ahead, we expect pharma to continue to be the main driver of growth with our proprietary drug delivery systems anticipated to lead the way. When adjusting for currency fluctuations and tax impacts in 2025, we anticipate to deliver solid earnings growth and increase shareholder value.”

Aptar currently expects earnings per share for the first quarter of 2025, excluding any restructuring expenses, changes in the fair value of equity investments and acquisition costs, to be in the range of $1.11 to $1.19. This guidance is based on an effective tax rate range of 25% to 27%, due in part to an anticipated increase in the French corporate tax rate, with a comparable adjusted prior year effective tax rate of 21%. The earnings per share guidance range is based on spot rates at the end of December for all currencies. Currency impacts will drive a larger headwind in the first quarter than typical because of the U.S. dollar’s renewed strength against many currencies. Currently, the impact from foreign currencies in the first quarter is anticipated to be a headwind of approximately 7 cents, compared to the prior year.

Share Repurchase Authorization and Cash Dividend

As previously reported, Aptar’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of $500 million of the Company’s common stock, which replaced all previous authorizations. Aptar may repurchase shares through the open market, privately negotiated transactions or other programs, subject to market conditions. The Board also approved the quarterly cash dividend of $0.45 per share. The payment date is February 26, 2025, to stockholders of record as of February 5, 2025. During the fourth quarter, Aptar repurchased 218 thousand shares for approximately $37 million.

Open Conference Call

There will be a conference call held on Friday, February 7, 2025 at 8:00 a.m. Central Time to discuss the company’s fourth quarter and annual results for 2024. The call will last approximately one hour. Interested parties are invited to listen to a live webcast by visiting the Investor Relations website at investors.aptar.com. Replay of the conference call can also be accessed for a limited time on the Investor Relations page of the website.

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. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before net interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, restructuring initiatives, acquisition-related costs, net unrealized investment gains and losses related to observable market price changes on equity securities and other special items. Adjusted EBITDA margin is adjusted EBITDA divided by reported net sales. 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.
