CRYSTAL LAKE, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AptarGroup, Inc. (NYSE:ATR), a global leader in drug and consumer product dosing, dispensing and protection technologies, today reported strong third quarter results due to solid operational performance and margin improvement across the company. Results were driven by growth in proprietary drug delivery systems, as well as increased demand for closure technologies. Reported sales and core sales increased by 2%, as currency and acquisition effects did not impact the quarter. Aptar reported net income of $100 million for the quarter, a 19% increase from the prior year.
“Aptar delivered another strong quarter driven by our Pharma and Closures segments. We saw increased demand for our proprietary drug delivery systems, active material science solutions and closure technologies, especially for food applications. The Beauty segment saw growth in the personal care and home care markets, but it was not enough to offset tough comparisons from tooling and fragrance dispensing solutions from the prior year period. All three segments continued to demonstrate solid operational performance and margin improvement. We are proud of the strong results and progress we have made for the first nine months of the year and are positioned to achieve double-digit adjusted EPS growth for the full year,” said Stephan B. Tanda, Aptar President and CEO.

Aptar Pharma’s reported sales increased 8% from the prior year quarter and core sales were up 7%. The segment’s strong performance was driven by continued demand for proprietary drug delivery systems, which grew double digits in the quarter after growing double digits in the prior year period. Growth in the third quarter was driven by allergy, emergency medicine and central nervous system therapeutics, as well as growing royalty revenues, boosting margins to 36%, which is at the top end of the long-term range. The Active Material Science division also grew double digits, with demand increasing across a number of end markets.
Aptar Beauty’s reported sales decreased 7%, and including currency effects core sales were down 6% compared to the prior year quarter. Approximately 4% of the decline in core sales can be attributed to lower tooling sales, with less favorable product mix contributing the remaining 2% of the decline. While revenue increased from the personal care and home care markets, this increase could not offset the challenging comparisons from prestige fragrance sales in the prior year period. Sales in North America improved progressively, while the Chinese beauty market remains soft. Margins were up year over year for Beauty, with improved operational performance and cost management remaining important points of focus for the segment.
Aptar Closures’ reported sales increased 3% from the prior year quarter and the segment’s core sales increased 4%. The increase in core sales was driven mainly by demand for closures in the food end market. Closures delivered a solid quarter and was within its long-term target ranges for both core sales and adjusted EBITDA margins. The segment’s margins increased by nearly 200 basis points over the prior year quarter, due to increased plant utilization and ongoing cost containment efforts.
Aptar reported third quarter earnings per share of $1.48, an increase of 17%, compared to $1.26 during the same period a year ago. Third quarter adjusted earnings per share, excluding restructuring charges and the unrealized gains or losses on an equity investment, were $1.49, an increase of 6%, compared to $1.40 in the prior year, including comparable exchange rates. The third quarter had an effective tax rate of 24% compared to the prior year period effective tax rate of 23%.
Year-To-Date Results
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, reported sales increased 3% to $2.73 billion compared to $2.65 billion in the prior year. Core sales, which were not impacted by currency exchange rates and acquisitions, also increased 3%.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, Aptar’s reported earnings per share were $4.05, an increase of 22%, compared to $3.32 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 $4.12 and increased 15% from prior year adjusted earnings per share of $3.58, including comparable exchange rates. The current year had an effective tax rate of 23% comparable to the prior year period effective tax rate of 25%.
Outlook
Regarding Aptar’s outlook, Tanda stated, “Looking to the fourth quarter, we anticipate a solid finish to a strong year. The top line is expected to grow in the fourth quarter, even with some customers having indicated seasonal inventory right-sizing in the beauty and cough & cold end markets. Our pharma business should finish full year 2024 within its core sales long-term target range of 7-11%, driven by demand for allergy medication, emergency medicine and central nervous system therapies. The segment will deliver solid, double-digit adjusted EBITDA growth in 2024 due in part to sales of higher value products and royalties. Our Closures segment has returned to growth and we expect a strong finish to 2024, with healthy adjusted EBITDA margin improvements over the prior year. Beauty is battling a tough macro environment but continues to focus on the bottom line. Innovation, cost mitigation, improved operational leverage and accelerating efficiencies remain key priorities for our teams.”
Aptar currently expects earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2024, excluding any restructuring expenses, changes in the fair value of equity investments and acquisition costs, to be in the range of $1.22 to $1.30. This guidance is based on an effective tax rate range of 20% to 22% with a comparable adjusted prior year effective tax rate of 24%. The earnings per share guidance range is based on spot rates at the end of September for all currencies. Based on the fourth quarter guidance, full year adjusted EPS would be in the range of $5.34 to $5.42, a double-digit increase over full year 2023.
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. This new authorization replaces 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 November 14, 2024, to stockholders of record as of October 24, 2024. During the third quarter, Aptar repurchased 95 thousand shares for approximately $14 million.

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.
