Commenting on the quarter, Stephen Hagge, President and CEO, said,
“Despite certain headwinds, we were able to achieve core sales growth in
the quarter. Our Pharma segment continued to perform very well with core
sales growth in each market and geographic region. This strength offset
some anticipated softness in certain markets served by our Beauty + Home
and Food + Beverage segments. Specifically, sales to the beauty market
declined globally primarily due to weak demand in the fragrance sector.
Sales to the beverage markets in Asia and the U.S. were also down
compared to a year ago principally due to some inventory destocking
following exceptionally strong orders in the third quarter. We also
reported a slight decline in custom tooling sales.”
Hagge continued, “Although the currency exchange rate environment was
unfavorable and certain markets were soft, we achieved record reported
earnings per share, in part, due to the strong performance of our Pharma
segment. This again speaks to the strength of our diversified business
and our ability to offer exceptional solutions and service to multiple
markets and geographies. Weaker sales volumes negatively impacted the
margins of our Beauty + Home and Food + Beverage segments. In addition,
our Beauty + Home segment recognized $1.3 million of expenses in the
fourth quarter related to the Brazilian facility fire of last year.
These specific expenses are expected to be reimbursed in future periods
by insurance proceeds which will be recognized in the period they are
realizable in accordance with accounting rules.”
AptarGroup reported earnings per share of $0.63 compared to $0.54 per
share a year ago. Assuming a comparable foreign currency exchange rate
environment and excluding exceptional items, comparable earnings per
share for the prior year were $0.59. A reconciliation of the prior year
fourth quarter adjusted net income per diluted share is provided in the
tables that accompany this press release.
YEAR-TO-DATE RESULTS
For the year ended December 31, 2014, reported sales increased 3% to
approximately $2.6 billion from $2.5 billion a year ago. Excluding the
negative impact from changes in currency exchange rates, core sales
increased by 5%.

Hagge commented on the annual results, “I am pleased by the growth this
year when you consider the different issues we faced including softer
macroeconomic conditions and inventory destocking in certain markets. We
remained focused on our customers and meeting their dispensing needs
and, consequently, we reported our highest level of annual sales. We
completed the year with increased core sales in each business segment,
end-market and geographic region. Earnings growth was under pressure,
particularly within our Beauty + Home segment, as we had certain
start-up costs related to our expansion in Latin America, negative
currency transaction effects and the negative impact on margins from
softer volumes at different times throughout the year. However, strong
results from our Pharma and Food + Beverage segments drove record annual
earnings per share. We ended the year in great financial condition and
in December we executed an accelerated share repurchase program.”
AptarGroup reported earnings per share of $2.85 compared to $2.52 a year
ago. Assuming a comparable foreign currency exchange rate environment
and excluding exceptional items, comparable earnings per share for the
prior year were $2.67. A reconciliation of the prior year adjusted net
income per diluted share is provided in the tables that accompany this
press release.
OUTLOOK
Commenting on AptarGroup’s outlook, Hagge said, “We currently anticipate
that certain foreign currency exchange rates, especially with the Euro,
will continue to be a significant headwind on our translated results.
Also, the soft demand in select markets that we saw in the fourth
quarter could continue into the first quarter and make for difficult
comparisons to our strong performance a year ago. We will continue to
focus on the areas of our business that we can control, including cost
containment, improving operational efficiencies and investing in new
solutions that bring value to our customers and end consumers around the
globe.”
AptarGroup expects earnings per share for the first quarter to be in the
range of $0.60 to $0.65 per share compared to $0.71 per share reported
in the prior year. Assuming a comparable foreign currency exchange rate
environment, comparable earnings per share for the prior year would have
been approximately $0.60 per share.
ACCELERATED SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM AND CASH DIVIDEND
As previously reported, AptarGroup entered into an agreement to
repurchase approximately $250 million of its common stock under an
accelerated share repurchase program (the “ASR program”). The ASR
program is part of AptarGroup’s $350 million share repurchase
authorization announced in October of 2014. In December of 2014,
AptarGroup paid $250 million to Wells Fargo Bank N.A. in exchange for
approximately 3.1 million shares, at that time estimated to represent
approximately 80% of the total number of shares expected to be purchased
in the ASR program based on current market prices. The ultimate number
of shares to be repurchased under the ASR program will be based on the
volume-weighted average price of AptarGroup’s common stock during the
term of the ASR program, less a discount. Also as previously reported,
the Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.28 per share. The
payment date is February 18, 2015, to stockholders of record as of
January 28, 2015.
OPEN CONFERENCE CALL
There will be a conference call on Friday, February 6, 2015 at 8:00 a.m.
Central Time to discuss AptarGroup’s fourth quarter and annual results
for 2014. The call will last approximately one hour. Interested parties

(1) AptarGroup has presented adjusted net income per diluted
share for the prior year periods covered by this press release,
which measure is a Non-GAAP financial measure. AptarGroup's
management believes it is useful to exclude the impact of certain
tax related items including charges related to French tax regulation
and certain other tax items that were recorded in the fourth quarter
of 2013 and restructuring charges that were recorded in the fourth
quarter and year 2013 from the calculation of net income per diluted
share under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP)
because such Non-GAAP financial measure allows for a better
comparison of operating results. This Non-GAAP financial measure
should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net
income per diluted share as calculated under GAAP, but should be
read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated
statements of income and other information presented herein.
|
|
(2) - Items included in the Provision for Income Taxes include an
impact of $0.07 per share related to French tax regulation that was
enacted in December 2013, and ($0.02) per share related to certain
foreign tax benefits that did not repeat in 2014.
|
|
(3) - Tax effects of the after-tax adjustments noted above are as
