Commenting on the first quarter, Stephan B. Tanda, President and CEO, said, “We performed well in the quarter and the strong top line growth across each segment is an indication that we are beginning to turn the corner on the effects of the global pandemic in the Western markets while we continue to monitor the situation in China and the war in Ukraine. Volume improvements and price initiatives to recover rising costs each contributed to the top line growth. In addition to this broad based demand, our results reflect a significant increase in sales of our Activ-Film™ moisture-mitigating technology that enhances the integrity of at-home COVID-19 tests. This further validates our material science expertise though the future demand for at-home COVID-19 test kits appears to be declining. We overcame several headwinds in the quarter including currency headwinds, a net negative price cost recovery position, customary start-up costs related to our capacity expansion for elastomeric components for injected medicines and a reserve against a note receivable. The war in Ukraine and the COVID-19 outbreak in China did not have a significant impact on our business in the quarter.”
Aptar’s Pharma segment achieved double-digit core sales growth with increased demand across each market. Significant sales growth in the consumer healthcare and active material science markets were the primary contributors. Sales to the prescription market also increased, driven by solid demand for our devices for allergic rhinitis and asthma. Demand for Aptar’s elastomeric components for vaccines and other injectable medications also contributed to the segment’s growth. Pharma’s earnings included the impact of customary start-up costs related to Aptar’s elastomeric component capacity expansion and the reserving of a note receivable related to a venture investment.

In Aptar’s Beauty + Home segment, growth in the quarter was driven by volume increases in the beauty and personal care markets and price initiatives related to input cost recovery. The North American supply chain continued to be challenging and net negative price cost recovery impacted earnings growth in this segment.
Growth in Aptar’s Food + Beverage segment was driven by increased demand and price initiatives to recover rising raw material costs. Despite the on-going supply chain disruptions in North America and a tough comparison to a very strong prior year result, the segment achieved core sales growth.
Aptar reported first quarter earnings per share of $0.93 compared to $1.24 during the same period a year ago. Prior year earnings included a $17 million unrealized gain related to changes in the fair value of an equity investment (approximately $0.19 cents per share impact) and a 17% effective tax rate (approximately $0.14 cents per share impact compared to current period effective tax rate of 28%). First quarter adjusted earnings per share were $0.96 compared to $1.05 in the prior year period which included the lower 2021 effective tax rate.
Outlook
Regarding Aptar’s outlook, Tanda stated, “We are moving forward into the post-pandemic era and we feel very good about the way our businesses are positioned for long-term growth. Looking forward to the second quarter, we expect the broad based momentum from the first quarter to continue with growth in each segment, including strong growth of our prescription drug device business which will help to compensate for lower demand for at-home COVID-19 tests. The war in Ukraine and the COVID-19 outbreak in China are expected to have some impact on our business in the respective regions though visibility remains highly uncertain. We will continue to manage our operations efficiently while we mitigate rising costs through pricing initiatives and cost containment.”
Aptar expects earnings per share for the second quarter of 2022, excluding any restructuring expenses, changes in the fair value of equity investments and acquisition costs, to be in the range of $0.92 to $1.02. This guidance is based on an effective tax rate range of 27% to 29% which compares to an effective tax rate of 25% on prior year adjusted earnings. The midpoint of this guidance range represents a 14% increase over the prior year second quarter adjusted earnings per share when currency translation effects are equalized. The earnings per share guidance range was based on a Euro/US$ exchange rate of 1.07 and the 26 day average as of April 26, 2022, for other applicable foreign currency exchange rates.
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 May 18, 2022, to stockholders of record as of April 27, 2022. During the first quarter, Aptar repurchased 140 thousand shares for approximately $16 million, leaving $184 million authorized for common stock repurchases at the end of the first 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. 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.
This press release contains forward-looking statements, including certain statements set forth under the “Outlook” section of this press release. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “future,” “potential,” “continues” and other similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “should,” “would” and “could” are intended to identify such forward-looking statements.
