(NYSE:ATR) today reported record second quarter results. The Company's Board of Directors also declared a quarterly dividend. Second Quarter 2007 Highlights -- Earnings per share jumped 33% to a record $.52 per share -- Sales rose 19% to a record $472.9 million -- Solid growth reported across all business segments -- $25 million spent to repurchase 680,000 shares SECOND QUARTER RESULTS For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, sales increased 19% to a record $472.9 million from $398.6 million a year ago. Strong dispensing system sales accounted for 12% of the growth while changes in exchange rates contributed 6% and acquisitions added 1%. Commenting on the quarter, Carl Siebel, President and CEO, said, "I'm pleased to report that we had another strong quarter. All of our business segments reported increased sales and profits. Broad demand for our unique dispensing systems across our different end-markets and geographic areas increased over the prior year. Our commitment to developing the industry's most innovative dispensing solutions continues to drive our growth." Second Quarter Segment Sales Analysis (Growth Over Prior Year) Beauty & Total Home Closures Pharma AptarGroup -------------------------------------- Product and Custom Tooling Sales 14% 5% 18% 12% Currency Effects 6% 4% 6% 6% Sales from Acquired Companies 1% 2% 0% 1% -------------------------------------- Total Growth 21% 11% 24% 19% ====================================== Operating income increased to a record $57.5 million, up 31% from $43.8 million a year ago primarily due to increased dispensing system sales and ongoing cost containment efforts. Increased sales of fragrance/cosmetic pumps and sampling systems, and personal care pumps, aerosol valves, and accessories drove Beauty & Home segment income (income before interest expense net of interest income, stock option and corporate expenses, income taxes and unusual items) to $26.4 million or an increase of 34%. Closures segment income rose 10% to $13.4 million primarily due to stronger sales to the food and beverage and personal care markets. Strong demand for our metered dose inhaler valves and nasal spray pumps pushed Pharma segment income to $26.4 million or an increase of 33%. Diluted earnings per share increased 33% to a record $.52 per share compared to $.39 per share in the prior year. Siebel added, "We continue to dedicate appropriate resources to the research and development of new dispensing technologies and manage our business with a focus on costs. In addition to these efforts, solid results in each of our business segments drove our earnings to record levels." YEAR-TO-DATE RESULTS For the year-to-date, sales increased 19% to a record $922.7 million from $774.1 million a year ago. Dispensing system sales increased 12% while changes in exchange rates added 6% and acquisitions contributed 1% to AptarGroup's top line. Operating income increased to a record $104.1 million, up 37% from $76.2 million a year ago. Diluted earnings per share increased 41% to $.93 per share compared to $.66 per share a year ago. OUTLOOK Siebel commented, "Strong demand across all of our business segments allowed us to achieve record first half results and we have a positive outlook on our third quarter at this time. We anticipate that demand for our dispensing systems will increase over prior year levels and as a result, profits are expected to exceed those recorded a year ago. We estimate that diluted earnings per share for the third quarter will be in the range of $.47 to $.50 per share, or an increase of 18% to 25%, compared to $.40 per share in the prior year."
