AptarGroup Posts Record Fourth Quarter and Annual Results

CRYSTAL LAKE, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 7, 2008-- AptarGroup, Inc. (NYSE:ATR) today reported record fourth quarter and annual results.

Highlights

• Fourth quarter sales rose 15% pushing annual sales to an all-time high $1.9 billion
• Fourth quarter earnings per share before discontinued operations increased 24% to $.47
• Income from discontinued operations accounted for an additional $.03 per share
• Sales and profits increased across each business segment
• Repurchased 473,000 shares in the quarter and over 2 million shares for the year

FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS

For the quarter ended December 31, 2007, sales increased 15% to a record $483.8 million from $422.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2006. Continued increased demand for AptarGroup’s innovative dispensing systems drove sales growth by 6% and changes in exchange rates contributed approximately 9%.

Commenting on the quarter, Peter Pfeiffer, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “I am happy to report that our record fourth quarter added to an already exceptional year-to-date performance and we completed the strongest year in the history of our company. Our three business segments, Beauty & Home, Closures, and Pharma, each contributed to our growth despite some softness in the U.S. personal care market. The overall positive fourth quarter performance is noteworthy when we consider that last year’s results were also quite strong.”

Fourth Quarter Segment Sales Analysis
(Growth Over Prior Year)
	Beauty & Home	Closures	Pharma	Total AptarGroup
Product and Custom Tooling Sales	6%	4%	8%	6%
Currency Effects	9%	7%	11%	9%
Total Growth	15%	11%	19%	15%

Pfeiffer added, “While the competitive environment remained challenging, and we continued to face rising material and other costs in the fourth quarter, increased product sales and cost containment efforts allowed operating income to reach a record level of $49.2 million. Beauty & Home segment income increased 22% to $21.4 million, Closures segment income increased 8% to $10.2 million, and Pharma segment income increased 25% to $27.7 million. Also in the quarter, we sold our Australian operation to an Australian-based company. This operation was not significant to our consolidated results. We will continue to serve our customers in this region by selling our products through this company while allowing the new management to grow the business with local support and resources. The gain on this sale, net of tax, was approximately $2.2 million or $.03 per share.” Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations increased 24% to $.47 per share compared to $.38 per share in the prior year. Additionally, AptarGroup spent $19.6 million to repurchase approximately 473,000 shares of its common stock in the quarter.

ANNUAL RESULTS

Commenting on AptarGroup’s full year performance, Pfeiffer said, “Each of our business segments enjoyed solid sales growth during the year enabling us to achieve our 42^nd consecutive year of sales growth. We reported record sales of $1.9 billion, up 18% from $1.6 billion in 2006. Increased product sales accounted for 10% of our sales growth, acquisitions added 1% and changes in exchange rates added 7%. Also, increased profits across each of our business segments drove consolidated operating income to a record $210.7 million up from $161.6 million a year ago. Production efficiencies and cost containment efforts more than offset higher material costs and a challenging competitive price environment.”

Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations rose 36% to a record level of $1.95 per share, up from $1.43 per share a year ago. AptarGroup spent $76.4 million to repurchase approximately 2 million shares of common stock in 2007, leaving approximately 2 million shares authorized for repurchase at the end of the year. Also during the year, AptarGroup paid $34.4 million in dividends to stockholders, or $.50 per share.

OUTLOOK

Pfeiffer commented, “We are cautiously optimistic about the coming quarter. While there is some uncertainty regarding the economic outlook in the U.S., we are well positioned to withstand slowness in one particular region because of our broad geographic presence and the diverse end-markets that we serve. We expect continuing demand for our convenient dispensing systems will result in sales improvements across each of our business segments in the first quarter of 2008. We are still in a competitive environment and face rising costs, but we are committed to passing these cost increases along in our selling prices where possible. The ongoing dedication by our talented employees and our long-term strategy to be the innovation leader in our field have served us well in the past and should do so in the future. We estimate that diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2008 will be in the range of $.46 to $.49 per share compared to $.41 per share in the prior year.”
