NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of AptarGroup, Inc. and our subsidiaries. The terms “AptarGroup”, “Aptar”, “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our” as used herein refer to AptarGroup, Inc. and our subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
In the opinion of management, the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (the “Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”) include all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Also, certain financial position data included herein was derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The results of operations of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year.
The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our financial results and operations for all three of our business segments will depend on future developments which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the emergence of new variants, the availability, adoption and efficacy of vaccines and boosters, the length of time it takes for normal economic and operating conditions to resume, additional governmental actions that may be taken and/or extended in response to any further resurgence of the virus and numerous other uncertainties. No impairments were recorded as of March 31, 2022 related to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, due to the general uncertainty surrounding the situation, including areas such as cost inflation, supply chain disruptions and labor shortages, future results could be materially impacted.
The war in Ukraine and the recent COVID-19 outbreak in China have not as of March 31, 2022 had a significant direct impact on our business in these regions, though the near-term visibility for both of these situations is expected to remain fluid and uncertain for the next several quarters. However, we have started to experience some indirect impacts on our business, including higher energy costs and certain supply chain interruptions.
ADOPTION OF RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Changes to U.S. GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification.
In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance. This update requires annual disclosures about transactions with a government that are accounted for by applying a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy including the nature of the transaction, the financial statement line items affected by the transaction and any significant terms and conditions associated with the transactions. We adopted this guidance in the fourth quarter of 2021 using the prospective approach.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments to this update apply only to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 was further amended in January 2021 by ASU 2021-01 which clarified the applicability of certain provisions. Both standards are effective upon issuance and can be adopted any time prior to December 31, 2022. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. During 2021, we amended the revolving credit facility to provide mechanics relating to a transition away from LIBOR (in the case of USD) and the designated benchmark rates for other available currencies and the replacement of any such applicable benchmark by a replacement alternative benchmark rate or mechanism for loans made in the applicable currency. We are evaluating any further impact this standard may have on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and anticipate no further significant impacts.
Other accounting standards that have been issued by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

INCOME TAXES
We compute taxes on income in accordance with the tax rules and regulations of the many taxing authorities where income is earned. The income tax rates imposed by these taxing authorities may vary substantially. Taxable income may differ from pre-tax income for financial accounting purposes. To the extent that these differences create timing differences between the tax basis of an asset or liability and our reported amount in the financial statements, an appropriate provision for deferred income taxes is made.
We maintain our assertion that the cash and distributable reserves at our non-U.S. affiliates are indefinitely reinvested. As of March 31, 2022, under currently enacted laws, we do not have a balance of foreign earnings that will be subject to U.S. taxation upon repatriation. We will provide for the necessary withholding and local income taxes when management decides that an affiliate should make a distribution. These decisions are made taking into consideration the financial requirements of the non-U.S. affiliates and our global cash management goals.
We provide a liability for the amount of unrecognized tax benefits from uncertain tax positions. This liability is provided whenever we determine that a tax benefit will not meet a more-likely-than-not threshold for recognition.
We are subject to the examination of our returns and other tax matters by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities and governmental bodies. We believe that we have adequately provided a tax reserve for any adjustments that may result from tax examinations or uncertain tax positions. However, the outcome of tax audits cannot be predicted with certainty. If any issues addressed in our tax audits are resolved in a manner inconsistent with our expectations, we could be required to adjust our provision for income taxes in the period such resolution occurs. The resolution of each of these audits is not expected to be material to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

We perform our obligations under a contract with a customer by transferring goods and/or services in exchange for consideration from the customer. The timing of performance will sometimes differ from the timing of the receipt of the associated consideration from the customer, thus resulting in the recognition of a contract asset or a contract liability. We recognize a contract asset when we transfer control of goods or services to a customer prior to invoicing for the related performance obligation. The contract asset is transferred to accounts receivable when the product is shipped and invoiced to the customer. We recognize a contract liability if the customer's payment of consideration precedes the entity's performance.
The opening and closing balances of our contract asset and contract liabilities are as follows:
Balance as of December 31, 2021Balance as of March 31, 2022Increase/
(Decrease)
Contract asset (current)$16,878 $15,236 $(1,642)

Contract liability (long-term)21,905 21,133 (772)
9

Table of Contents
The differences in the opening and closing balances of our contract asset and contract liabilities are primarily the result of timing differences between our performance and the customer’s payment. The total amount of revenue recognized during the current year against contract liabilities is $25.4 million, including $21.4 million relating to contract liabilities at the beginning of the year. Current contract assets and long-term contract assets are included within the Prepaid and Other and Miscellaneous assets, respectively, while current contract liabilities and long-term contract liabilities are included within Accounts Payable, Accrued and Other Liabilities and Deferred and Other Non-current Liabilities, respectively, within our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Determining the Transaction Price
In most cases, the transaction price for each performance obligation is stated in the contract. In determining the variable amounts of consideration within the transaction price (such as volume-based customer rebates), we include an estimate of the expected amount of consideration as revenue. We apply the expected value method based on all of the information (historical, current, and forecast) that is reasonably available and identify reasonable estimates based on this information. We apply the method consistently throughout the contract when estimating the effect of an uncertainty on the amount of variable consideration to which we will be entitled.
Product Sales
We primarily manufacture and sell drug delivery, consumer product dispensing and active material science solutions. The amount of consideration is typically fixed for customers. At the time of delivery, the customer is invoiced at the agreed-upon price. Revenue from product sales is typically recognized upon manufacture or shipment, when control of the goods transfers to the customer.
To determine when the control transfers, we typically assess, among other things, the shipping terms of the contract, shipping being one of the indicators of transfer of control. For a majority of product sales, control of the goods transfers to the customer at the time of shipment of the goods. Once the goods are shipped, we are precluded from redirecting the shipment to another customer. Therefore, our performance obligation is satisfied at the time of shipment. For sales in which control transfers upon delivery, shipping and/or handling costs that occur before the customer obtains control of the goods are deemed to be fulfillment activities and are accounted for as fulfillment costs and revenue is recorded upon final delivery to the customer location. We have elected to account for shipping and handling costs that occur after the customer has obtained control of a good as fulfillment costs rather than as a promised service. We do not have any material significant payment terms as payment is typically received shortly after the point of sale.
There also exist instances where we manufacture highly customized products that have no alternative use to us and for which we have an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. For these products, we transfer control and recognize revenue over time by measuring progress towards completion using the Output Method based on the number of products produced. As we normally make our products to a customer’s order, the time between production and shipment of our products is typically within a few weeks. We believe this measurement provides a faithful depiction of the transfer of goods as the costs incurred reflect the value of the products produced.
As a part of our customary business practice, we offer a standard warranty that the products will materially comply with the technical specifications and will be free from material defects. Because such warranties are not sold separately, do not provide for any service beyond a guarantee of a product’s initial specifications, and are not required by law, there is no revenue deferral for these types of warranties.
Tooling Sales
We also build or contract for molds and other tools (collectively defined as “tooling”) necessary to produce our products. As with product sales, we recognize revenue when control of the tool transfers to the customer. If the tooling is highly customized with no alternative use to us and we have an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date, we transfer control and recognize revenue over time by measuring progress towards completion using the Input Method based on costs incurred relative to total estimated costs to completion. Otherwise, revenue for the tooling is recognized at the point in time when the customer approves the tool. We do not have any material significant payment terms as payment is typically either received during the mold-build process or shortly after completion.
In certain instances, we offer extended warranties on our tools above and beyond the normal standard warranties. We normally receive payment at the inception of the contract and recognize revenue over the term of the contract. We do not have any material extended warranties as of March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021.
Service Sales
We also provide services to our pharmaceutical customers. As with product sales, we recognize revenue based on completion of each performance obligation of the service contract.

Table of Contents
Contract Costs
We do not incur significant costs to obtain or fulfill revenue contracts.
Credit Risk
We are exposed to credit losses primarily through our product sales, tooling sales and services to our customers. We assess each customer’s ability to pay for the products we sell by conducting a credit review. The credit review considers our expected billing exposure and timing for payment and the customer’s established credit rating or our assessment of the customer’s creditworthiness based on our analysis of their financial statements when a credit rating is not available. We also consider contract terms and conditions, country and political risks, and business strategy in our evaluation. A credit limit is established for each customer based on the outcome of this review.
We monitor our ongoing credit exposure through active review of customer balances against contract terms and due dates. Our activities include timely account reconciliation, dispute resolution and payment confirmation. We may employ collection agencies and legal counsel to pursue recovery of defaulted receivables.
Current uncertainty in credit and market conditions due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine may slow our collection efforts if customers experience significant difficulty accessing credit and paying their obligations or due to imposed sanctions delaying payment which may lead to higher than normal accounts receivable and increased CECL charges.

Future amortization expense may fluctuate depending on changes in foreign currency rates. The estimates for amortization expense noted above are based upon foreign exchange rates as of March 31, 2022.

NOTE 5 – INCOME TAXES
The tax provision for interim periods is determined using the estimated annual effective consolidated tax rate, based on the current estimate of full-year earnings and related estimated full year-taxes, adjusted for the impact of discrete quarterly items.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, was 28.0% and 16.8%. The lower effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021 reflects incremental tax benefits from employee stock-based compensation of $8.0 million and a $2.9 million benefit from changes in U.S. state tax laws for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

On June 30, 2021, we entered into an amended and restated multi-currency revolving credit facility (the "revolving credit facility") with a syndicate of banks to replace the existing facility (the "prior credit facility") maturing July 2022 and to amend and restate the unsecured term loan facility extended to our wholly-owned UK subsidiary under the prior credit facility (as amended, the "amended term facility"). The revolving credit facility matures in June 2026, subject to a maximum of two one-year extensions in certain circumstances, and provides for unsecured financing of up to $600 million available in the U.S. and to our wholly-owned UK subsidiary. The amended term facility matures in July 2022. The revolving credit facility can be drawn in various currencies including USD, EUR, GBP, and CHF to the equivalent of $600 million, which may be increased by up to $300 million subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. As of March 31, 2022, no balance was utilized under the revolving credit facility in the U.S. or by our wholly-owned UK subsidiary and $56 million remained outstanding under the amended term facility. As of December 31, 2021, $133 million was utilized under the revolving credit facility in the U.S., €10 million (approximately $11.4 million) was utilized by our wholly-owned UK subsidiary and $56 million remained outstanding under the amended term facility.
There are no compensating balance requirements associated with our revolving credit facility. Each borrowing under the revolving credit facility will bear interest at rates based on LIBOR (in the case of USD), EURIBOR (in the case of EUR), SONIA (in the case of GBP), SARON (in the case of CHF), prime rates or other similar rates, in each case plus an applicable margin. The revolving credit facility provides mechanics relating to a transition away from LIBOR (in the case of USD) and the designated benchmark rates for other available currencies and the replacement of any such applicable benchmark by a replacement alternative benchmark rate or mechanism for loans made in the applicable currency. A facility fee on the total amount of the revolving credit facility is also payable quarterly, regardless of usage. The applicable margins for borrowings under the revolving credit facility and the facility fee percentage may change from time to time depending on changes in our consolidated leverage ratio.
In October 2020, we entered into an unsecured money market borrowing arrangement to provide short term financing of up to $30 million that is available in the U.S. No borrowing on this facility is permitted over a quarter end date. As such, no balance was utilized under this arrangement as of March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021.
Long-Term Obligations
On March 7, 2022, we issued $400 million aggregate principal amount of 3.600% Senior Notes due March 2032 in an underwritten public offering. The form and terms of the notes were established pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of March 7, 2022, as amended and supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of March 7, 2022, each between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears. The notes are unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of our other existing and future senior, unsecured indebtedness.

NOTE 10 – DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
We maintain a foreign exchange risk management policy designed to establish a framework to protect the value of our non-functional currency denominated transactions from adverse changes in exchange rates. Sales of our products can be denominated in a currency different from the currency in which the related costs to produce the product are denominated. Changes in exchange rates on such inter-country sales or intercompany loans can impact our results of operations. Our policy is not to engage in speculative foreign currency hedging activities, but to minimize our net foreign currency transaction exposure, defined as firm commitments and transactions recorded and denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. We may use foreign currency forward exchange contracts, options and cross currency swaps to economically hedge these risks.
For derivative instruments designated as hedges, we formally document the nature and relationships between the hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as the risk management objectives, strategies for undertaking the various hedge transactions, and the method of assessing hedge effectiveness at inception. Quarterly thereafter, we formally assess whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item. Additionally, in order to designate any derivative instrument as a hedge of an anticipated transaction, the significant characteristics and expected terms of any anticipated transaction must be specifically identified, and it must be probable that the anticipated transaction will occur. All derivative financial instruments used as hedges are recorded at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (See Note 11 - Fair Value).
Cash Flow Hedge
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the changes in fair values are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and included in changes in derivative gain/loss. The changes in the fair values of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to net income when the underlying hedged item is recognized in earnings. Cash flows from the settlement of derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges offset cash flows from the underlying hedged items and are included in operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

In 2017 our wholly-owned UK subsidiary borrowed $280 million in term loan borrowings under our prior credit facility. In order to mitigate the currency risk of U.S. dollar debt on a euro functional currency entity and to mitigate the risk of variability in interest rates, we entered into a EUR/USD floating-to-fixed cross currency swap on July 20, 2017 in the notional amount of $280 million to effectively hedge the foreign exchange and interest rate exposure on the $280 million term loan. This EUR/USD swap agreement fixed our U.S. dollar floating-rate debt to 1.36% euro fixed-rate debt. Related to this hedge, approximately $0.5 million of loss is included in accumulated other comprehensive loss at March 31, 2022. The amount expected to be recognized into earnings during the next 4 months related to the interest component of our cross currency swap based on prevailing foreign exchange and interest rates at March 31, 2022 is a gain of $131 thousand. The amount expected to be recognized into earnings during the next 4 months related to the foreign exchange component of our cross currency swap is dependent on fluctuations in currency exchange rates. As of March 31, 2022, the fair value of the cross currency swap was a $1.7 million asset. The swap contract expires on July 20, 2022.
Hedge of Net Investments in Foreign Operations
A significant number of our operations are located outside of the United States. Because of this, movements in exchange rates may have a significant impact on the translation of the financial condition and results of operations of our foreign subsidiaries. A strengthening U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies has a dilutive translation effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Conversely, a weakening U.S. dollar has an additive effect. In some cases, we maintain debt in these subsidiaries to offset the net asset exposure. We do not otherwise actively manage this risk using derivative financial instruments. In the event we plan on a full or partial liquidation of any of our foreign subsidiaries where our net investment is likely to be monetized, we will consider hedging the currency exposure associated with such a transaction.
Other
As of March 31, 2022, we have recorded the fair value of foreign currency forward exchange contracts of $0.4 million in prepaid and other and $2.3 million in accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities on the balance sheet. All forward exchange contracts outstanding as of March 31, 2022 had an aggregate notional contract amount of $58.9 million.

NOTE 11 – FAIR VALUE
Authoritative guidelines require the categorization of assets and liabilities into three levels based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to price the assets or liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2: Observable inputs other than those included in Level 1. For example, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability.

(2)Market approach valuation technique based on observable market transactions of spot and forward rates.

The carrying amounts of our other current financial instruments such as cash and equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, notes payable and current maturities of long-term obligations approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of the instruments. We consider our long-term obligations a Level 2 liability and utilize the market approach valuation technique based on interest rates that are currently available to us for issuance of debt with similar terms and maturities. The estimated fair value of our long-term obligations was $1.2 billion as of March 31, 2022 and $0.9 billion as of December 31, 2021.
During the first quarter of 2022, we invested $5.0 million in a convertible note in Enable Injections, Inc. This investment is recorded at fair value and is a Level 3 fair value measurement.

Table of Contents
As discussed in Note 12- Fair Value of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, we have a contingent consideration obligation to the selling equity holders of:
Fusion Packaging, Inc. ("Fusion") in connection with the acquisition of 100% of the equity interests of Fusion (the "Fusion Acquisition") based on 2022 cumulative performance targets, and
Noble International Holdings, Inc., Genia Medical, Inc. and JBCB Holdings, LLC (collectively referred to as "Noble") in connection with the acquisition of 100% of the equity interests of Noble (the "Noble Acquisition") based on 2024 cumulative performance targets.
We consider these obligations Level 3 liabilities and have estimated the aggregate fair value for these contingent consideration arrangements as follows:

Changes in the fair value of these obligations are recorded within selling, research & development and administrative expenses in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Significant changes to the inputs, as noted above, can result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement.

NOTE 12 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the normal course of business, we are subject to a number of lawsuits and claims both actual and potential in nature. While management believes the resolution of these claims and lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, our results of operations or cash flows, claims and legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable outcomes could occur and could include amounts in excess of any accruals which management has established. Were such unfavorable final outcomes to occur, it is possible that they could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Under our Certificate of Incorporation, we have agreed to indemnify our officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is, or was, serving at our request in such capacity. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, we have a directors and officers liability insurance policy that covers a portion of our exposure. As a result of our insurance policy coverage, we believe the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is minimal. We have no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
In December 2019, tax authorities in Brazil notified us of a tax assessment of approximately $6.1 million, including interest and penalties of $2.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively, relating to differences in tax classification codes used for import duties for the period from January 2015 to August 2018. We are vigorously contesting the assessment, including interest and penalties, and have filed an administrative defense appeal in December 2019. In June 2020, an unfavorable decision was issued on the first administrative defense appeal. We filed a second administrative defense appeal in August 2020. We still believe we have a strong defense. Due to uncertainty in the amount of assessment and the timing of our appeal, no liability is recorded as of March 31, 2022.
NOTE 13 – STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM
On April 18, 2019, we announced a share repurchase authorization of up to $350 million of common stock. This authorization replaces previous authorizations and has no expiration date. We may repurchase shares through the open market, privately negotiated transactions or other programs, subject to market conditions.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we repurchased approximately 140 thousand shares for approximately $16.0 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we did not repurchase any shares. As of March 31, 2022, there was $184.4 million of authorized share repurchases remaining under the existing authorization.

NOTE 14 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
We issue restricted stock units (“RSUs”), which consist of time-based and performance-based awards, to employees under stock awards plans approved by stockholders. In addition, RSUs are issued to non-employee directors under a Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement for Directors pursuant to the Company’s 2018 Equity Incentive Plan. RSUs granted to employees vest according to a specified performance period and/or vesting period. Time-based RSUs generally vest over three years. Performance-based RSUs vest at the end of the specified performance period, generally three years, assuming required performance or market vesting conditions are met. Performance-based RSUs have one of two vesting conditions: (1) based on our internal financial performance metrics and (2) based on our total shareholder return (“TSR”) relative to total shareholder returns of an industrial peer group. At the time of vesting, the vested shares of common stock are issued in the employee’s name. In addition, RSU awards are generally net settled (shares are withheld to cover the employee tax obligation). RSUs granted to directors are only time-based and generally vest over one year.
The fair value of both time-based RSUs and performance-based RSUs pertaining to internal performance metrics is determined using the closing price of our common stock on the grant date. The fair value of performance-based RSUs pertaining to TSR is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation. Inputs and assumptions used to calculate the fair value are shown in the table below. The fair value of these RSUs is expensed over the vesting period using the straight-line method or using the graded vesting method when an employee becomes eligible to retain the award at retirement.

As of March 31, 2022, there was $71.0 million of total unrecognized compensation cost relating to RSU awards which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.3 years.
Historically we issued stock options to our employees and non-employee directors. Beginning in 2019, we no longer issue stock options. Stock options were awarded with the exercise price equal to the market price on the date of grant and generally vest over three years and expire 10 years after grant. For stock option grants, we used historical data to estimate expected life and volatility.

The reduction in stock option expense is due to our move to RSUs as discussed above. Cash received from option exercises was approximately $3.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The actual tax benefit realized for the tax deduction from option exercises was approximately $0.3 million and $9.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of March 31, 2022, there is no remaining valuation of stock option awards to be expensed in future periods.
NOTE 15 – EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to Aptar by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to Aptar by the weighted-average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the applicable period. The difference between basic and diluted earnings per share is attributable to stock-based compensation awards. Stock-based compensation awards for which total employee proceeds exceed the average market price over the applicable period would have an antidilutive effect on earnings per share, and accordingly, are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share. The reconciliation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 is as follows:

Equity method investments
BTY
On January 1, 2020, we acquired 49% of the equity interests in 3 related companies: Suzhou Hsing Kwang, Suqian Hsing Kwang and Suzhou BTY (collectively referred to as “BTY”) for an approximate purchase price of $32 million. We have a call option to acquire an additional 26% to 31% of BTY’s equity interests following the initial lock-up period of 5 years based on a predetermined formula. Subsequent to the second lock-up period, which ends 3 years after the initial lock-up period, we have a call option to acquire the remaining equity interests of BTY based on a predetermined formula. Additionally, the selling shareholders of BTY have a put option for the remaining equity interest to be acquired by Aptar based on a predetermined formula. The BTY entities are leading Chinese manufacturers of high quality, decorative metal components, metal-plastic sub-assemblies, and complete color cosmetics packaging solutions for the beauty industry.
Sonmol
On April 1, 2020, we invested $5 million to acquire 30% of the equity interests in Healthcare, Inc., Shanghai Sonmol Internet Technology Co., Ltd. and its subsidiary, Shanghai Sonmol Medical Equipment Co., Ltd. (collectively referred to as “Sonmol”), a pharmaceutical and leading Chinese company that provides consumer electric devices and connected devices for asthma control.
Kali Care
During 2017, we invested $5 million to acquire 20% of the equity interests in Kali Care, a technology company that provides digital monitoring systems for medical devices. Since our investment, we have recognized approximately $1.6 million of our cumulative pro-rata share of operating losses. During 2021 and 2020, we recognized an other than temporary impairment of $0.4 million ($0.3 million after-tax) and $3.0 million ($2.3 million after-tax), respectively, on our underlying assets in this investment as a result of a reassessment of the future value of the business and continued reduction in operating cash flows. In addition to our investment, we also hold a note receivable from Kali Care for $1.5 million which is included in accounts and notes receivable in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During March 2022, we recorded an expected credit loss reserve against the outstanding note receivable from Kali Care for $1.5 million as a result of a proposed sale of the business.
Desotec GmbH
During 2009, we invested €574 thousand to acquire 23% of the equity interests in Desotec GmbH, a leading manufacturer of special assembly machines for bulk processing for the pharmaceutical, beauty and home and food and beverages markets.
Other investments
During August 2019, we invested an aggregate amount of $3.5 million in two preferred equity investments in sustainability companies Loop and PureCycle that were accounted for at cost less impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer. During 2020, we invested an additional $1.4 million in these two equity investments and also received $333 thousand of equity in PureCycle in exchange for our resource dedication for technological partnership and support. In November 2020, we increased the value of the PureCycle investment by $3.1 million based on observable price changes.
26

Table of Contents
In March 2021, PureCycle was purchased by a special purpose acquisition company and was subsequently listed on Nasdaq under the ticker PCT. At that time, our investment in PureCycle was converted into shares of PCT resulting in less than a 1% ownership interest. This investment is now recorded at fair value based on observable market prices for identical assets and the change in fair value is recorded as a net investment gain or loss in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. In September 2021, we received $333 thousand of shares of PCT in exchange for our resource dedication for technological partnership and support and exercised an option to purchase $1.0 million of additional shares in connection with an FDA milestone. During October 2021, we sold 191,349 shares for $2.4 million in net proceeds, resulting in a realized gain of $2.0 million. During March 2022, we sold 107,600 shares for $1.1 million in net proceeds, resulting in a realized gain of $841 thousand. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded a net unrealized loss on our investment in PureCycle of $1.2 million and a net unrealized gain of $16.8 million, respectively.
On July 7, 2021, we invested approximately $5.9 million to acquire 10% of the equity interests in YAT, a multi-functional, science-driven online skincare solutions company.
Other than the expected credit loss reserve against the outstanding Kali Care note receivable, as noted above, there were no indications of impairment noted in the three months ended March 31, 2022 related to these investments.
NOTE 18 – RESTRUCTURING INITIATIVES
In late 2017, we began a business transformation to drive profitable sales growth, increase operational excellence, enhance our approach to innovation and improve organizational effectiveness. The primary focus of the plan was the Beauty + Home segment; however, certain global general and administrative functions were also addressed. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we recognized $0.3 million and $3.7 million of restructuring expenses related to this plan, respectively. As of the end of 2021, we had successfully completed the vast majority of our planned initiatives related to our transformation plan and do not expect significant additional restructuring expenses related to this plan going forward. The cumulative expense incurred as of March 31, 2022 was $136.5 million.
As of March 31, 2022 we have recorded the following activity associated with the business transformation:

SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS
As each of our segments produce dispensing systems that have been determined to be essential products by various government agencies around the world, our facilities have remained operational during the COVID-19 pandemic. We have taken a variety of measures to ensure the availability and functioning of our critical infrastructure, to promote the safety and security of our employees and to support the communities in which we operate. We continue to follow public and private sector policies and initiatives to reduce the transmission of COVID-19, such as the imposition of travel restrictions, the promotion of social distancing and the adoption of work-from-home arrangements, and all of these policies and initiatives have impacted our operations.
The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our financial results and operations for fiscal year 2022 and beyond for all three of our business segments will depend on future developments which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the emergence of new variants, the availability, adoption and efficacy of vaccines and boosters, the length of time it takes for normal economic and operating conditions to resume, additional governmental actions that may be taken and/or extended in response to any further resurgence of the virus and numerous other uncertainties. No impairments were recorded as of March 31, 2022 related to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, due to the general uncertainty surrounding the situation, including areas such as cost inflation, supply chain disruptions and labor shortages, future results could be materially impacted.
The war in Ukraine and the recent COVID-19 outbreak in China have not as of March 31, 2022 had a significant direct impact on our business in these regions though the near-term visibility for both of these situations is expected to remain fluid and uncertain for the next several quarters. However, we have started to experience some indirect impacts on our business, including higher energy costs and certain supply chain interruptions.
NET SALES
Reported net sales for the first three months of 2022 increased 9% to $844.9 million compared to $776.8 million for the first three months of 2021. The average U.S. dollar exchange rate strengthened compared to the euro and other major currencies in which we operate, resulting in a negative currency translation impact of 4%. There was no significant impact from our acquisitions of Voluntis S.A. ("Voluntis") and Weihai Hengyu Medical Products Co., Ltd. ("Hengyu") on our consolidated results during the first quarter of 2022. Therefore, core sales, which exclude acquisitions and changes in foreign currency rates, increased by 13% in the first three months of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. Price increases to our customers due to rising inflationary costs had a positive impact on our core sales during the first quarter of 2022. Of our 13% core sales increase, approximately 5% is due to price adjustments related to the passing through of higher resin and other input costs. Excluding these inflationary pass-throughs, all three segments still reported strong core sales growth during the first quarter of 2022 as discussed below.

For further discussion on net sales by reporting segment, please refer to the analysis of segment net sales and segment Adjusted EBITDA on the following pages.
COST OF SALES (EXCLUSIVE OF DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION SHOWN BELOW)
Cost of sales ("COS") as a percent of net sales increased to 64.2% in the first three months of 2022 compared to 62.9% in the same period a year ago. As discussed above, we experienced significant inflationary increases in several input costs during the current quarter including resin, metals, freight, labor and utilities. While we maintain our normal pass-through of resin prices and have implemented price increases to offset other cost increases, there is no margin on these pass-throughs which increases our COS as a percentage of sales.
SELLING, RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT AND ADMINISTRATIVE
Selling, research & development and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) increased by $11.2 million to $145.5 million in the first three months of 2022 compared to $134.3 million during the same period a year ago. Excluding changes in foreign currency rates, SG&A increased by approximately $15.6 million in the first three months of 2022 compared to the first three months of 2021. Of this increase, $3.1 million relates to three months of incremental SG&A costs in 2022 as our acquisitions of Hengyu and Voluntis were completed subsequent to March 31, 2021. The remaining increase is partially related to higher compensation costs, including accruals related to our current short-term incentive compensation programs and the timing of certain equity compensation arrangement expense recognition. We also experienced an increase in information systems costs due to an upgrade of our enterprise reporting system along with higher professional fees for internal projects and higher travel costs compared to 2021. Finally, we recorded a $1.5 million expected credit loss reserve against the outstanding note receivable from one of our venture investments (Kali Care) as discussed in Note 17 - Investment in Equity Securities of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. SG&A as a percentage of net sales decreased to 17.2% in the first quarter of 2022 compared to 17.3% during the same period in the prior year.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
Reported depreciation and amortization expenses increased by approximately $1.2 million to $58.7 million in the first three months of 2022 compared to $57.4 million during the same period a year ago. Excluding changes in foreign currency rates, depreciation and amortization increased by approximately $3.2 million in the first three months of 2022 compared to the same period a year ago. As mentioned above, approximately $1.2 million of this increase is due to our acquisitions of Voluntis and Hengyu subsequent to March 31, 2021 and the remaining increase relates to higher capital spending during the current and prior year to support our growth strategy. Depreciation and amortization as a percentage of net sales decreased to 7.0% in the first three months of 2022 compared to 7.4% in the same period of the prior year.

RESTRUCTURING INITIATIVES
In late 2017, we began a business transformation plan to drive profitable sales growth, increase operational excellence, enhance our approach to innovation and improve organizational effectiveness. The primary focus of the plan was the Beauty + Home segment; however, certain global general and administrative functions were also addressed. As of the end of 2021, we have successfully completed the vast majority of our planned initiatives related to our transformation plan, including implementing new commercial strategies, reducing costs and adding capabilities in Asia and in fast growing application fields that we believe will position the segment for future growth and profitability. However, the COVID-19 global pandemic resulted in a significant decline in our beauty business. While our Beauty + Home segment continues to be profitable, the disruption caused by the pandemic, including higher operating costs, have more than offset any expected growth in earnings from our transformation. Although we believe the beauty market remains a long-term attractive growth market and we remain committed to completing our transformation initiatives, we expect the return to growth to be gradual and non-linear as this market is highly correlated to the return to post-pandemic normal consumer behavior, including travel, which has proven to be sporadic and uncertain. The cumulative expense incurred for this transformation plan as of March 31, 2022 was $136.5 million.
Restructuring costs related to the above plan for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 are as follows:

OPERATING INCOME
For the first three months of 2022, operating income increased approximately $5.1 million to $97.7 million compared to $92.6 million in the same period of the prior year. Excluding changes in foreign currency rates, operating income increased by approximately $9.8 million in the first three months of 2022 compared to the same period a year ago. The strong sales growth discussed above, along with lower restructuring costs during the current quarter drove this improvement. Operating income as a percentage of net sales decreased to 11.6% in the first three months of 2022 compared to 11.9% for the same period in the prior year.
NET OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)
Net other income (expense) decreased $19.4 million to $11.1 million of expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 from $8.3 million of income in the same period of the prior year. $18.1 million of this reduction is the change in fair value of our investment in PureCycle Technologies ("PCT" or "PureCycle"). As discussed in Note 17 - Investment in Equity Securities of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, our investment in PureCycle was converted into shares of PCT, a publicly traded entity, during the first quarter of 2021. This investment is recorded at fair value based on observable market prices for identical assets with the change in fair value being recorded as a net investment gain or loss in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Interest expense increased by $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2022 as a result of approximately one month of interest expense on our $400 million 3.600% Senior Notes due March 2032, which were issued on March 7, 2022. See Note 6 - Debt of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
The tax provision for interim periods is determined using the estimated annual effective consolidated tax rate, based on the current estimate of full-year earnings and related estimated full year-taxes, adjusted for the impact of discrete quarterly items. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, was 28.0% and 16.8%. The lower effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021 reflects incremental tax benefits from employee stock-based compensation of $8.0 million and a $2.9 million benefit from changes in U.S. state tax laws for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
NET INCOME ATTRIBUTABLE TO APTARGROUP, INC.
We reported net income attributable to AptarGroup of $62.4 million and $84.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Adjusted EBITDA margins are calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Reported Net Sales. See the reconciliation under "Non-U.S. GAAP Measures".

Net sales for the first three months of 2022 increased by 9% to $342.5 million compared to $313.8 million in the first three months of 2021. Changes in currency rates negatively impacted net sales by 5% while the acquisitions of Voluntis and Hengyu had a positive impact of 1% during the first quarter of 2022. Therefore, core sales increased by 13% in the first three months of 2022 compared to the same period in the prior year. All markets showed core sales growth during the first quarter of 2022 with almost all of the increase due to volume versus price pass-throughs. Core sales of our active material science solutions increased 58% mainly on strong demand for our Activ-Film products used with at-home COVID-19 test kits. Similarly, sales of our elastomeric components for COVID-19 and other vaccines drove the 7% core sales growth in our injectables market. The 13% core sales growth in the consumer health care market was driven by higher demand for our nasal decongestant, saline rinses and dermal solutions. Sales to the prescription drug market increased 3% on solid demand for our allergic rhinitis and asthma devices as many regions began to experience post-pandemic re-openings.

Adjusted EBITDA in the first three months of 2022 increased 3% to $115.6 million compared to $108.5 million reported in the same period of the prior year. This increase is mainly driven by our strong core sales growth discussed above. However, higher SG&A costs and incremental startup costs for our elastomeric component capacity expansion led to a lower Adjusted EBITDA margin.

For the first three months of 2022, net sales increased 6% to $368.2 million compared to $346.9 million in the first three months of the prior year. Changes in currency rates negatively impacted net sales by approximately 4%. Therefore, core sales increased by 10% in the first three months of 2022 compared to the same period in the prior year. Approximately 6% of the 10% growth came from pass-through of higher input cost while the remaining amount is due to increased volumes as sales for many of our applications began to normalize after the COVID-19 impacts seen during 2021. Core sales of our products to the beauty market increased 16% during the first three months of 2022 as we experienced an increase in demand for both fragrance and color cosmetic products. Personal care core sales increased 8% as higher sales of our hair care and sun care applications more than offset the lower demand for our hand sanitizer dispensing solutions. Our home care market realized increased sales to our dish care customers. However, it was not enough to offset lower sales to our automotive and industrial customers, which saw a return to a more normal demand after the higher COVID-19 related volumes we realized in the first quarter of 2021.

Adjusted EBITDA in the first three months of 2022 increased 12% to $39.5 million compared to $35.4 million reported in the same period in the prior year. Strong product sales growth drove the majority of the Adjusted EBITDA improvement in the first three months of 2022 while operational improvements were able to offset the net negative impact of inflation and supply chain challenges in certain regions.
FOOD + BEVERAGE SEGMENT
Operations that sell dispensing systems, sealing solutions and food service trays to the food and beverage markets form our Food + Beverage segment.

Net sales for the first three months of 2022 increased by 16% to $134.3 million compared to $116.0 million in the first three months of 2021. Changes in currency rates negatively impacted net sales by 2%. Therefore, core sales increased by 18% in the first three months of 2022 compared to the same period in the prior year. As discussed above, increased product and tooling sales, along with the pass-through of higher material costs, positively impacted the first three months of 2022. Approximately 12% of the 18% core sales increase is due to passing through higher resin and other input costs. Core sales to the food market increased 18% while core sales to the beverage market increased 16% in the first three months of 2022 compared to the same period of the prior year. For the food market, we realized strong growth in sauces and condiments and our food service packaging products. The beverage market also reported growth as sales of our premium bottled water products continued to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic levels last year.

Adjusted EBITDA in the first three months of 2022 decreased 4% to $19.2 million compared to $20.0 million reported in the same period of the prior year. As discussed above, we experienced increased product and tooling sales growth during the first quarter of 2022. However, our profitability was negatively impacted by some operational inefficiencies, specifically in North America, due to labor and supply chain issues. These issues, along with the lack of margin on the pass-through of higher input costs, had a negative impact on our Adjusted EBITDA margin during the current quarter.

CORPORATE & OTHER
In addition to our three reporting segments, we assign certain costs to “Corporate & Other,” which is presented separately in Note 16 – Segment Information of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. For Corporate & Other, Adjusted EBITDA (which excludes 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) primarily includes certain professional fees, compensation and information system costs which are not allocated directly to our reporting segments. Corporate & Other expenses in the first three months of 2022 increased to $18.0 million compared to $11.6 million reported in the same period of the prior year. This increase is partially related to higher compensation costs, including accruals related to our current short-term incentive compensation programs and the timing of equity compensation expense recognition including substantive vesting conditions for retirement eligible employees. We also reported higher professional fees and travel costs compared to 2021.
NON-U.S. GAAP MEASURES
In addition to the information presented herein that conforms to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"), we also present financial information that does not conform to U.S. GAAP, which are referred to as non-U.S. GAAP financial measures. Management may assess our financial results both on a U.S. GAAP basis and on a non-U.S. GAAP basis. We believe it is useful to present these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures 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 our core operating performance. These non-U.S. GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for U.S. GAAP financial results, but should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and other information presented herein. Investors are cautioned against placing undue reliance on these non-U.S. GAAP measures. Further, investors are urged to review and consider carefully the adjustments made by management to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure to arrive at these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures.
In our Management’s Discussion and Analysis, we exclude the impact of foreign currency translation when presenting net sales and other information, which we define as “constant currency.” Changes in net sales excluding the impact of foreign currency translation is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure. As a worldwide business, it is important that we take into account the effects of foreign currency translation when we view our results and plan our strategies. Consequently, when our management looks at our financial results to measure the core performance of our business, we may exclude the impact of foreign currency translation by translating our prior period results at current period foreign currency exchange rates. As a result, our management believes that these presentations are useful internally and may be useful to investors. We also exclude the impact of material acquisitions when comparing results to prior periods. Changes in operating results excluding the impact of acquisitions are non-U.S. GAAP financial measures. We believe it is important to exclude the impact of acquisitions on period over period results in order to evaluate performance on a more comparable basis.
We present earnings before net interest and taxes (“EBIT”) and earnings before net interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). We also present our adjusted earnings before net interest and taxes (“Adjusted EBIT”) and adjusted earnings before net interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”), both of which exclude the business transformation charges (restructuring initiatives), acquisition-related costs, purchase accounting adjustments related to acquisitions and investments and net unrealized investment gains and losses related to observable market price changes on equity securities. Our Outlook is also provided on a non-U.S. 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 our routine activities, such as restructuring and acquisition costs.
We provide a reconciliation of Net Debt to Net Capital as a non-U.S. GAAP measure. “Net Debt” is calculated as interest bearing debt less cash and equivalents and short-term investments while “Net Capital” is calculated as stockholders’ equity plus Net Debt. Net Debt to Net Capital measures a company’s financial leverage, which gives users an idea of a company's financial structure, or how it is financing its operations, along with insight into its financial strength. We believe that it is meaningful to take into consideration the balance of our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments when evaluating our leverage. If needed, such assets could be used to reduce our gross debt position.
Finally, we provide a reconciliation of free cash flow as a non-U.S. GAAP measure. 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.

FOREIGN CURRENCY
Because of our international presence, movements in exchange rates may have a significant impact on the translation of the financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries. Our primary foreign exchange exposure is to the euro, but we also have foreign exchange exposure to the Chinese yuan, Brazilian real, Mexican peso, Swiss franc and other Asian, European and South American currencies. A strengthening U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies has a dilutive translation effect on our financial statements. Conversely, a weakening U.S. dollar has an additive effect. In some cases, we sell products denominated in a currency different from the currency in which the related costs are incurred. Any changes in exchange rates on such inter-country sales could materially impact our results of operations. During the first quarter of 2022, the U.S. dollar strengthened compared to the major European currencies and Latin America currencies. This resulted in a dilutive impact on our translated results during the first quarter of 2022 when compared to the first quarter of 2021.
QUARTERLY TRENDS
Our results of operations in the last quarter of the year typically are negatively impacted by customer plant shutdowns in December. Several of the markets we serve are impacted by the seasonality of underlying consumer products. This, in turn, may have an impact on our net sales and results of operations for those markets. We believe the diversification of our product portfolio minimizes fluctuations in our overall quarterly financial statements and results in an immaterial seasonality impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements when viewed quarter over quarter. However, uncertainties related to the economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic may impact noted historical trends.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Given our current low level of leverage relative to others in our industry and our ability to generate strong levels of cash flow from operations, we believe we are in a strong financial position and have the financial resources to meet our business requirements in the foreseeable future. We have historically used cash flow from operations, our revolving credit facilities, proceeds from stock options and debt, as needed, as our primary sources of liquidity. Our primary uses of liquidity are to invest in equipment and facilities that are necessary to support our growth, pay quarterly dividends to stockholders, repurchase shares of our common stock and to make acquisitions that will contribute to the achievement of our strategic objectives. Due to uncertainty amid the war in Ukraine, the recent COVID-19 outbreak in China and the inflationary environment, in the event that customer demand decreases significantly for a prolonged period of time and adversely impacts our cash flows from operations, we would have the ability to restrict and significantly reduce capital expenditure levels as well as evaluate our acquisition strategy. A prolonged and significant reduction in capital expenditure levels could increase future repairs and maintenance costs as well as have a negative impact on operating margins if we were unable to invest in new innovative products.
Cash and equivalents and restricted cash increased to $355.6 million at March 31, 2022 from $122.9 million at December 31, 2021 primarily due to proceeds from our $400 million inaugural public bond offering, as described below. Total short and long-term interest bearing debt of $1.4 billion at March 31, 2022 was slightly higher than the $1.2 billion at December 31, 2021. The ratio of our Net Debt (interest bearing debt less cash and equivalents) to Net Capital (stockholders’ equity plus Net Debt) remained consistent at 35.1% at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. See the reconciliation under "Non-U.S. GAAP Measures".
In the first three months of 2022, our operations provided approximately $92.1 million in net cash flow compared to $72.2 million for the same period a year ago. In both periods, cash flow from operations was primarily derived from earnings before depreciation and amortization. The increase in cash provided by operations during the first three months of 2022 is primarily attributable to better working capital management and lower restructuring costs. Partially offsetting the increase in cash provided by operations was a $15.2 million contribution to our domestic benefit plans during the first quarter of 2022.
We used $68.4 million in cash for investing activities during the first three months of 2022 compared to $63.9 million during the same period a year ago. Our investment in capital projects increased $9.2 million during the first three months of 2022 compared to the first three months of 2021 which is primarily related to additional investments in capacity for our injectables and active material science solutions divisions, partially offset by $8.0 million received by government grant proceeds. Our 2022 estimated cash outlays for capital expenditures net of government grant proceeds are expected to be in the range of approximately $300 to $330 million but could vary due to changes in exchange rates as well as the timing of capital projects.

Financing activities provided $211.9 million in cash during the first three months of 2022 compared to $45.0 million in cash used by financing activities during the same period a year ago. During the first three months of 2022, we received proceeds from long-term obligations of $402.2 million primarily from the issuance of $400 million of our 3.600% Senior Notes due March 2032 during the first quarter of 2022. As part of our bond offering we paid $3.8 million in debt issuance costs. Additionally, we repaid $144.3 million related to our revolving credit facility, paid $24.9 million of dividends and purchased $16.0 million of treasury stock. We anticipate redeeming all $75.0 million of our 3.25% private placement notes due in September 2022 during the second quarter of 2022 at a price equal to the principal amount plus a make-whole premium.
On June 30, 2021, we entered into an amended and restated multi-currency revolving credit facility (the "revolving credit facility") to replace the existing facility (the "prior credit facility") maturing July 2022 and to amend and restate the unsecured term loan facility extended to our wholly-owned UK subsidiary under the prior credit facility (as amended, the "amended term facility"). The revolving credit facility matures in June 2026, subject to a maximum of two one-year extensions in certain circumstances, and provides for unsecured financing of up to $600 million available in the U.S. and to our wholly-owned UK subsidiary. The amended term facility matures in July 2022. The revolving credit facility can be drawn in various currencies including USD, EUR, GBP and CHF to the equivalent of $600 million, which may be increased by up to $300 million subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Each borrowing under the revolving credit facility will bear interest at rates based on LIBOR (in the case of USD), EURIBOR (in the case of EUR), SONIA (in the case of GBP), SARON (in the case of CHF), prime rates or other similar rates, in each case plus an applicable margin. The revolving credit facility provides mechanics relating to a transition away from LIBOR (in the case of USD) and the designated benchmark rates for other available currencies and the replacement of any such applicable benchmark by a replacement alternative benchmark rate or mechanism for loans made in the applicable currency. A facility fee on the total amount of the revolving credit facility is also payable quarterly, regardless of usage. The applicable margins for borrowings under the revolving credit facility and the facility fee percentage may change from time to time depending on changes in our consolidated leverage ratio. As of March 31, 2022, no balance was utilized under the revolving credit facility in the U.S. or by our wholly-owned UK subsidiary and $56 million remained outstanding under the amended term facility which matures in July 2022. As of December 31, 2021, $133 million was utilized under the revolving credit facility in the U.S., €10 million (approximately $11.4 million) was utilized by our wholly-owned UK subsidiary and $56 million remained outstanding under the amended term facility. Credit facility balances are included in notes payable, revolving credit facility and overdrafts on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Our revolving credit facility and corporate long-term obligations require us to satisfy certain financial and other covenants including:
RequirementLevel at March 31, 2022
Consolidated Leverage Ratio (1)Maximum of 3.50 to 1.001.83 to 1.00
Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (1)Minimum of 3.00 to 1.0018.90 to 1.00
__________________________________________________________
(1)Definitions of ratios are included as part of the revolving credit facility agreement.
Based upon the above consolidated leverage ratio covenant, we have the ability to borrow approximately an additional $1.0 billion before the 3.50 to 1.00 maximum ratio requirement is exceeded.
In October 2020, we entered into an unsecured money market borrowing arrangement to provide short term financing of up to $30 million that is available in the U.S. No borrowing on this facility is permitted over a quarter end date. As such, no balance was utilized under this arrangement as of March 31, 2022.
Our foreign operations have historically met cash requirements with the use of internally generated cash or uncommitted short-term borrowings. We also have committed financing arrangements in both the U.S. and the UK as detailed above. We manage our global cash requirements considering (i) available funds among the many subsidiaries through which we conduct business, (ii) the geographic location of our liquidity needs, and (iii) the cost to access international cash balances.
We facilitate a supply chain finance program ("SCF") across Europe and the U.S. that is administered by a third-party platform. Eligible suppliers can elect to receive early payment of invoices, less an interest deduction, and negotiate their receivable sales arrangements through the third-party platform on behalf of the respective SCF bank. We are not a party to those agreements, and the terms of our payment obligations are not impacted by a supplier's participation in the SCF. Accordingly, we have concluded that this program continues to be a trade payable program and is not indicative of a borrowing arrangement.
All outstanding amounts related to suppliers participating in the SCF are recorded within Accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and associated payments are included in operating activities within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the amounts due to suppliers participating in the SCF were approximately $30 million.

Collection and payment periods tend to be longer for our operations located outside the United States due to local business practices. We have also seen an increasing trend in pressure from certain customers to lengthen their payment terms. As the majority of our products are made to order, we have not needed to keep significant amounts of finished goods inventory to meet customer requirements. However, some of our contracts specify an amount of finished goods safety stock we are required to maintain.

To the extent our financial position allows and there is a clear financial benefit, we from time-to-time benefit from early payment discounts with some suppliers. We are also lengthening the payment terms with our suppliers to be in line with customer trends. While we have offered third party alternatives for our suppliers to receive payments sooner, we generally do not utilize these offerings from our customers as the economic conditions currently are not beneficial for us.

On April 14, 2022, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.38 per share payable on May 18, 2022 to stockholders of record as of April 27, 2022.
CONTINGENCIES
The Company, in the normal course of business, is subject to a number of lawsuits and claims both actual and potential in nature. Please refer to Note 12 - Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of contingencies affecting our business.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
We have reviewed the recently issued accounting standards updates to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification that have future effective dates. Standards that have been adopted during 2022 are discussed in Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments to this update apply only to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 was further amended in January 2021 by ASU 2021-01 which clarified the applicability of certain provisions. Both standards are effective upon issuance and can be adopted any time prior to December 31, 2022. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. As of December 31, 2021, we have amended the revolving credit facility to provide mechanics relating to a transition away from LIBOR (in the case of USD) and the designated benchmark rates for other available currencies and the replacement of any such applicable benchmark by a replacement alternative benchmark rate or mechanism for loans made in the applicable currency. We are evaluating any further impact this standard may have on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and anticipate no further significant impacts.
Other accounting standards that have been issued by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements upon adoption.
OUTLOOK
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.
We expect earnings per share for the second quarter of 2022, excluding any restructuring expenses, acquisition-related costs and changes in the fair value of equity investments, to be in the range of $0.92 to $1.02 and this guidance is based on an effective tax rate range of 27% to 29%.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
A significant number of our operations are located outside of the United States. Because of this, movements in exchange rates may have a significant impact on the translation of the financial condition and results of operations of our subsidiaries. Our primary foreign exchange exposure is to the euro, but we also have foreign exchange exposure to the Chinese yuan, Brazilian real, Mexican peso, Swiss franc and other Asian, European and South American currencies. A strengthening U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies has a dilutive translation effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Conversely, a weakening U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies has an additive translation effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, in some cases, we sell products denominated in a currency different from the currency in which the related costs are incurred. Any changes in exchange rates on such inter-country sales may impact our results of operations.
The table below provides information as of March 31, 2022 about our forward currency exchange contracts. The majority of the contracts expire before the end of the second quarter of 2022.

As of March 31, 2022, we have recorded the fair value of foreign currency forward exchange contracts of $0.4 million in prepaid and other and $2.3 million in accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We also entered into a EUR/USD floating-to-fixed cross currency interest rate swap on July 20, 2017 to effectively hedge the foreign exchange and interest rate exposure on the $280 million bank term loan drawn by our wholly-owned UK subsidiary. The fair value of this cash flow hedge is $1.7 million reported in prepaid and other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
Certain French employees are eligible to participate in the FCP Aptar Savings Plan (the “Plan”). An independent agent purchases shares of common stock available under the Plan for cash on the open market and we do not issue shares. We do not receive any proceeds from the purchase of common stock under the Plan. The agent under the Plan is BNP Paribas Fund Services. No underwriters are used under the Plan. All shares are sold in reliance upon the exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 provided by Regulation S promulgated under that Act. During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, the Plan purchased 2,247 shares of our common stock on behalf of the participants at an average price of $117.50, for an aggregate amount of $264 thousand, and sold 1,123 shares of our common stock on behalf of the participants at an average price of $115.95, for an aggregate amount of $130 thousand. At March 31, 2022, the Plan owned 110,008 shares of our common stock.
ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
On April 18, 2019, we announced a share purchase authorization of up to $350 million of common stock. This authorization replaced previous authorizations and has no expiration date. We may repurchase shares through the open market, privately negotiated transactions or other programs, subject to market conditions.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we repurchased approximately 140 thousand shares for approximately $16.0 million. As of March 31, 2022, there was $184.4 million of authorized share repurchases remaining under the existing authorization.
The following table summarizes our purchases of our securities for the quarter ended March 31, 2022:
