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. Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
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, 20192020 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, 2019.2020. The results of operations of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year.
Beginning July 1, 2018, we have applied highly inflationary accounting for our Argentinian subsidiariessubsidiary pursuant to U.S. GAAP. We have changed the functional currency from the Argentinian peso to the U.S. dollar. We remeasure our peso denominated assets and liabilities using the official rate. In September 2019, the President of Argentina reinstituted exchange controls restricting foreign currency purchases in an attempt to stabilize Argentina’s financial markets. As a result of these currency controls, a legal mechanism known as the Blue Chip Swap emerged in Argentina for reporting entities to transfer U.S. dollars. The Blue Chip Swap rate has diverged significantly from Argentina’s “official rate” due to the economic environment. During the second quarter of 2020, we transferred U.S. dollars into Argentina through the Blue Chip Swap method and we recognized a gain of $1.0 million. This gain helped to offset foreign currency losses due to our Argentinian peso exposure and devaluation against the U.S. dollar. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, ourOur Argentinian operations contributed less than 2.0% of consolidated net assets and revenues.revenues as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2021.
There arecontinues to be many uncertainties regarding the current COVID-19 pandemic, including the scopeavailability and adoption of scientific and health issues, the anticipated durationapproved vaccines within certain areas of the pandemicworld and the extentpotential for additional governmental actions that may be taken and/or extended in response to any further resurgence of local and worldwide social, political and economic disruption it may cause. The pandemic has impacted certain markets withinthe virus. However, in contrast to the preceding year, we are currently seeing a limited impact on our business operationsrelated directly to the COVID-19 pandemic as economic activity and financial results during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 including an overall reduction to net sales within those markets.customer and product mix are approaching pre-pandemic levels. NaN impairments were recorded as of SeptemberJune 30, 2020. While2021 related to the disruption is currently expected to be temporary, there is uncertainty around the duration.COVID-19 pandemic. Due to significant uncertainty surrounding the situation, future results could changebe negatively affected by the pandemic and therefore our results could be materially impacted.
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.
Effective January 1, 2021, we adopted ASU 2020-10, Codification Improvements, which updates various codification topics by clarifying or improving disclosure requirements to align with the SEC's regulations, and no material impacts were noted.
Effective January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, issued by the FASB in June 2016, as well as the clarifying amendments subsequently issued. We applied the guidance using a modified retrospective approach and accordingly recognized an amount of $1.4 million as the cumulative adjustment to opening retained earnings in the first quarter of 2020. This is based on management's best estimates of specific losses on individual exposures particularly on current trade receivables, as well as the time value of money and reasonable and supportable information that is available at the reporting date about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. On an ongoing basis, we will contemplate forward-looking economic conditions in recording lifetime expected credit losses for our financial assets measured at cost, such as our trade receivables and certain other assets.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, which provides guidance to simplify how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. As a result, impairment charges are required for the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value up to the amount of its allocated goodwill. We adopted the standard on January 1, 2020 and did not record any impairment charges.

TableIn August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, which amends disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The new standard modifies disclosure requirements including removing requirements to disclose the valuation process for Level 3 measurements and adding requirements to disclose the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements and the range and weighted average of Contentssignificant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 measurements. We adopted the standard on January 1, 2020 and no material impacts were noted.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, which amends disclosure requirements for defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. The amendments in this update remove disclosures that are no longer considered cost beneficial, clarify the specific requirements of disclosures, and add disclosure requirements identified as relevant. We adopted the standard during the fourth quarter of 2020 and appropriate disclosures are included in the notes to the financial statements to the extent applicable. The provisions of the new standard do not have any effect on our financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15 to help entities evaluate the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement (hosting arrangement) by providing guidance for determining when the arrangement includes a software license. The amendments in this update align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). Accordingly, the amendments require an entity (customer) in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract to follow the guidance in Subtopic 350-40 to determine which implementation costs to capitalize as an asset related to the service contract and which costs to expense. The amendments also require the entity (customer) to expense the capitalized implementation costs of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract over the term of the hosting arrangement, which includes reasonably certain renewals. We adopted the standard on January 1, 2020 and no material impacts were noted.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, which amends disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The new standard modifies disclosure requirements including removing requirements to disclose the valuation process for Level 3 measurements and adding requirements to disclose the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 measurements. We adopted the standard on January 1, 2020 and no material impacts were noted.
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 the 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 temporarytiming 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. Under current U.S. taxAt June 30, 2021, under currently enacted laws, allwe do not have a balance of our non-U.S.foreign earnings arethat will be subject to U.S. taxation. 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 the global cash management goals of the Company.
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.
The Company isWe are subject to taxationthe examination of our returns and files incomeother tax returns inmatters by the U.S. federal jurisdictionInternal Revenue Service and many stateother tax authorities and foreign jurisdictions. The Company believesgovernmental bodies. We believe that an adequate provision has been made for any adjustments that may result from tax examinations.examinations exists. However, the outcome of tax audits cannot be predicted with certainty. If any issues addressed in the Company’sour tax audits are resolved in a manner inconsistent with itsour expectations, the Companywe could be required to adjust its 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.

NOTE 2 – REVENUE
At contract inception, we assess the goods and services promised in our contracts with customers and identify a performance obligation for each promise to transfer a good or service (or bundle of goods or services) that is distinct. To identify the performance obligations, we consider all the goods or services promised in the contract, whether explicitly stated or implied based on customary business practices. For a contract that has more than one performance obligation, we allocate the total contract consideration to each distinct performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis. Revenue is recognized when (or as) the performance obligations are satisfied (i.e., when the customer obtains control of the good or service). The majority of our revenues are derived from product and tooling sales; however, we also receive revenues from service, license, exclusivity and royalty arrangements, which collectively are not material to the quarterly and year-to-date results. Revenue by segment and geography for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and 20192020 is as follows:

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 or services are performed 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:

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 $59.6$49.9 million, including $39.1$29.8 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, dispensing, sealing and active packagingmaterial science solutions. The amount of consideration is typically fixed for such customers. At the time of delivery, the customer is invoiced 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. AFor a majority of product sales, are sold free on board (“FOB”) shipping point. For FOB shipping point shipments, 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 to buildfor 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 tools sold to our customerstools 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. AtWe do not have any material extended warranties as of June 30, 2021 or December 31, 2019, $515 thousand2020.
Service Sales
We also provide services to our pharmaceutical customers. As with product sales, we recognize revenue based on completion of unearned revenue associated with outstanding contracts was reported in Accounts Payable, Accrued and Other Liabilities. At September 30, 2020, the unearned amount was $487 thousand. We expect to recognize approximately $55 thousandeach performance obligation of the unearned amount during the remainderservice contract.
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.
At September 30, 2020, we reported $593 million of accounts receivable, net of CECL of $7.4 million. Changes in the allowance were not material for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Current uncertainty in credit and market conditions due to the COVID-19 pandemic may slow our collection efforts if customers experience significant difficulty accessing credit and paying their obligations, which may lead to higher than normal accounts receivable and increased CECL charges.

NOTE 8 – RETIREMENT AND DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS
Effective January 1, 2021, our domestic noncontributory retirement plans were amended to provide that no individual who became an employee after December 31, 2020 could become a participant and that no employee whose employment terminated and who was rehired after December 31, 2020 may accrue benefits under the plan with respect to the period of employment which begins on the date that reemployment commences. These employees will instead be eligible for additional contribution to their defined contribution 401(k) employee savings plan. All domestic employees with hire/rehire dates prior to January 1, 2021 will still be eligible for the domestic pension plans and will still continue to accrue plan benefits after this date.

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.
18

Table of Contents
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. SeeSheets (See Note 11 - Fair Value for additional details.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.
During 2017, our wholly-owned UK subsidiary borrowed $280 million in term loan borrowings under a newour 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 interest rate swap 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 $1.1$0.6 million of loss is included in accumulated other comprehensive loss at SeptemberJune 30, 2020.2021. The amount expected to be recognized into earnings during the next 12 months related to the interest component of our cross currency swap based on prevailing foreign exchange and interest rates at SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 is a gain of $0.1$0.8 million. The amount expected to be recognized into earnings during the next 12 months related to the foreign exchange component of our cross currency swap is dependent on fluctuations in currency exchange rates. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the fair valuesvalue of the cross currency swap werewas a $3.2$4.1 million liability. 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 strengtheningweakening U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies has a dilutivean additive translation effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Conversely, a weakeningstrengthening U.S. dollar has an additivea dilutive 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 SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, we have recorded the fair value of foreign currency forward exchange contracts of $0.1 million$30 thousand in prepaid and other and $0.4$1.5 million in accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities on the balance sheet. All forward exchange contracts outstanding as of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 had an aggregate notional contract amount of $43.2$49.9 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 $1.1 billion as of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and $1.1 billion as of December 31, 2019.2020.
As discussed in Note 1719 - Acquisitions of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, we have a contingent consideration obligation to the selling equity holders of of:
Fusion Packaging, Inc. ("Fusion") in connection with the acquisition of 100% of the equity interests of Fusion Acquisition (as defined herein)(the "Fusion Acquisition") based on 2022 cumulative performance targets, a contingent consideration obligationand
Noble International Holdings, Inc., Genia Medical, Inc. and JBCB Holdings, LLC (collectively referred to the selling equity holders of Nobleas "Noble") in connection with the acquisition of 100% of the equity interests of Noble Acquisition (as defined herein)(the "Noble Acquisition") based on 2024 cumulative performance targets and a contingent consideration obligation to the selling equity holder of Gateway in connection with the Gateway Acquisition (as defined herein) based on 2020 and 2022 performance targets.

We consider these obligations Level 3 liabilities and have estimated the aggregate fair value for these contingent consideration arrangements to be $22.1 million and $4.2 million for the Fusion Acquisition and the Noble Acquisition, respectively, as of September 30, 2020. During the quarter ended September 30, 2020, $1.3 million of the Gateway contingent consideration accrual was paid out in full satisfaction of the remaining earn out consideration and no related liability is outstanding as all required payments have been made for both performance targets. As of December 31, 2019 the aggregate fair value for these contingent consideration arrangements was $2.9 million and $3.0 million for the Noble Acquisition and the Gateway Acquisition, respectively.follows:

NOTE 12 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company, inIn the normal course of business, iswe 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 0 liabilities recorded for these agreements as of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019.
A fire caused damage to our facility in Annecy, France in June 2016. We are insured for the damages caused by the fire, including business interruption insurance.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we did not receive any insurance proceeds, and have 0 insurance receivable as of September 30, 2020. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, profitability was not impacted. The final settlement continues to be negotiated. In many cases, our insurance coverage exceeds the amount of our recognized losses. However, 0 gain contingencies were recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as our ability to realize those gains remains uncertain.
An environmental investigation, undertaken to assess areas of possible contamination, was completed at our facility in Jundiaí, São Paulo, Brazil. The facility is primarily an internal supplier of anodized aluminum components for certain of our dispensing systems. The testing indicated that soil and groundwater in certain areas of the facility were impacted above acceptable levels established by local regulations. In March 2017, we reported the findings to the relevant environmental authority, the Environmental Company of the State of São Paulo – CETESB. Based upon our best estimate, we recorded a reserve of $1.5 million (operating expense) in the first quarter of 2017 related to this contingency. During 2019, we paid approximately $0.6 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we paid approximately $0.1 million.  As of September 30, 2020, our outstanding reserve is $0.4 million. The ultimate loss associated with this environmental contingency is subject to the investigation and ongoing review of the CETESB. We will continue to evaluate the range of likely costs as the investigation proceeds and we have further clarity on the nature and extent of remediation that will be required. We note that the contamination, or any failure to complete any required remediation in a timely manner, could potentially result in fines or penalties.
In March 2017, the Supreme Court of Brazil issued a decision that a certain state value added tax should not be included in the calculation of federal gross receipts taxes. The decision reduces our gross receipts tax in Brazil prospectively and potentially, retrospectively. DuringIn May 2021, the first quarterSupreme Court of 2019,Brazil issued a judgment establishing rules for the refund of amounts paid in excess based on the calculation methodology to be applied. In June 2021 and June 2020, we received a favorable court decisiondecisions of $2.7$1.6 million and $0.7 million, respectively, for the retrospective right to recover part of our claim. This amount isThese amounts were recorded in cost of sales as a favorable impact of $1.7 million and $1.0 million was recognized as interest income. In June 2020, we received a favorable court decision of $0.7 million for the retrospective right to recover part of our claim. This amount is recorded in cost of sales as a favorable impact of $0.7 million.sales. If the Supreme Court of Brazil grants full retrospective recovery, we estimate remaining potential recoveries of approximately $1.5$3 million to $7.5$6 million, including interest, depending on the future decisions of the Supreme Court of Brazil.interest. Due to uncertainties around our remaining court recovery claims, we have not recorded any further amounts relating to the retrospective nature of this matter.
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, 0 liability is recorded as of SeptemberJune 30, 2020.

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 and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021 and 2020, we did not repurchase any shares. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we repurchased approximately 300 thousand shares and 493 thousand shares for approximately $35.8 million and $54.9 million, respectively. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, there was $278.5 million of authorized share repurchases available to us.

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.
23

Table of Contents
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.

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. Compensation expense attributable to employee stock options for the first nine months of 2020 was approximately $1.7 million ($1.3 million after tax).

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 and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and 20192020 is as follows:

NOTE 17 – ACQUISITIONS
Business Combinations
In June 2021, we entered into exclusive negotiations to acquire 100% of the outstanding shares (the “Voluntis Acquisition”) of Voluntis. Voluntis, based in Boston, MA and Paris, France, is a pioneer in digital therapeutics. Under the terms of the contemplated transaction, Aptar would acquire from certain members of the management and certain shareholders the entirety of their shares representing approximately 64.6% of the share capital of Voluntis (on a non-diluted basis) at a price of €8.70 per share for approximately €50.8 million (approximately $61.5 million assuming a euro/USD exchange rate of 1.21). This values the full company equity (on a fully diluted basis) at approximately €78.8 million (approximately $95.3 million). Upon completion of this acquisition, Aptar will launch a mandatory cash simplified tender offer to acquire Voluntis's remaining shares for the same price of €8.70 per share (the "tender offer"). If the regulatory conditions are met upon completion of the tender offer, Aptar intends to implement a mandatory squeeze-out on the remaining outstanding shares of Voluntis on the same financial terms as those of the tender offer. The acquisition, which is subject to customary regulatory approvals and other closing conditions, the tender offer, which is subject to regulatory clearance from the French Markets Authority, and the squeeze-out are expected to be completed before the end of the fourth quarter of 2021. The purchase will be funded with available cash on hand. Subsequent to the end of the second quarter, on July 22, 2021, we signed a share purchase agreement for the Voluntis Acquisition with terms consistent with the description above.
On May 25, 2021, we entered into a strategic definitive agreement to acquire 80% of the equity interests (the "Hengyu Acquisition") in Weihai Hengyu Medical Products Co., Ltd. ("Hengyu").

During the fourth quarter of 2020, a $3.6 million fair value true-up was recorded as an adjustment to the opening balance of goodwill and contingent liability.

However, in contrast to the adversepreceding year, we are currently seeing a limited impact on sales of our beauty products sold via duty free travel and retail stores and a reduction of our products used for on-the-go beverage applications.

No impairments were recorded as of SeptemberJune 30, 2020. While2021 related to the disruption is currently expected to be temporary, there is uncertainty around the duration and the extent of further resurgences.COVID-19 pandemic. Due to significant uncertainty surrounding the situation, future results could changebe negatively affected by the pandemic and therefore our results could be materially impacted.
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 remained operational during the third quarter of 2020. 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. These measures include requiring remote working arrangements for employees where practicable. We are following 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. Due to the dynamic nature of the situation, we are not able at this time to estimate the impact of COVID-19 on our future financial results and operations, but the impact could be material for the remainder of fiscal year 2020 and could be material during any future periods affected either directly or indirectly by this pandemic. See Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” included in this report for information on material risks associated with COVID-19.

NET SALES
We reported net sales of $759.2$811.0 million for the quarter ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, which represents an 8%a 16% increase compared to $701.3$699.3 million reported during the thirdsecond quarter of 2019. Reported sales were positively impacted by acquisitions and changes in currency exchange rates. The acquisitions of Noble and Fusion positively impacted sales by 4%.2020. The average U.S. dollar exchange rate weakened compared to the euro while it appreciated against most Latin America and Asianother major currencies, resulting in a positive currency translation impact of 2%6%. There was no impact from acquisitions during the second quarter of 2021. Therefore, core sales, which exclude acquisitions and changes in foreign currency rates, increased by 10% in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. Our Beauty + Home and Food + Beverage segments both reported strong core sales growth as the majority of their applications recovered from depressed sales during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in the second quarter of 2020. Price adjustments related to the passing through of higher resin and other input costs, and increased tooling sales, also contributed to our sales growth in the quarter.

Our COS percentage was positivelynegatively impacted by both changes in our cost containment efforts and the mix of business assales and inflation. During the second quarter of 2021, we reported sales growth ina lower percentage of our higher marginhigher-margin Pharma segment. We also benefited from lower resin costs during the quarter as resin prices have declinedproduct sales compared to the prior year.

We also reported an increase in our dedicated beauty facilitiestooling sales during the thirdsecond quarter of 2020 related2021, which typically carries lower margins than our product sales. Both of these sales mix changes negatively impact our COS as a percentage of sales. During 2021, we also incurred inflationary cost increases. As discussed above, we experienced increases in several input costs including resin and labor. While we maintain our normal pass-through of resin prices and have implemented general price increases to the COVID-19 pandemic.offset other cost increases, there is no margin on resin pass-through costs which increases our COS as a percentage of sales.

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 is the Beauty + Home segment; however, certain global general and administrative functions are also being addressed. Restructuring costs related to this plan for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and 20192020 are as follows:

We have successfully implemented the vast majority of our planned initiatives related to our transformation plan, including successfully 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 has caused several initiatives that were expected to be completed in 2020 to be delayed and 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. Though we believe the beauty market remains a long-term attractive growth market and we remain committed to completing our remaining 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. We estimate total implementation costs of approximately $125 million for these initiatives. including $102.1 million of costs thatThe cumulative expense incurred to date is $121.5 million. We have been recognized to date. We also anticipate makingmade capital investments related to the business transformation of approximately $50 millionof which $47 million has been incurred related to date. Based on our ongoing restructuring initiatives, we are progressing towards our initial target of $80 million annualized incremental EBITDA by the end of 2020, principally within the Beauty + Home segment. However, in addition to the impacts of COVID-19, ongoing changes in customer and vendor negotiations, material indices, macro-economic trends and other factors represent continuing headwinds to the Beauty + Home segment, and have offset the consolidated net benefits from these initiatives.  this plan, with no further significant capital investments expected.

Operating income increased approximately $8.8$13.9 million to $99.0$84.4 million in the thirdsecond quarter of 20202021 compared to $90.2$70.5 million in the same period a year ago. Excluding changes in foreign currency rates, operating income increased by approximately $5.0$8.1 million in the quarter compared to the same period a year ago. This increase is due to higher sales volumes while maintaining a consistent gross margin.compared to the second quarter of 2020 which was significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. This increase was partially offset by higher input costs due to inflation. We also benefited from lower restructuring costs during the thirdsecond quarter of 20202021 compared to the prior year period.

Interest income decreased by approximately $0.7We realized a $1.6 million due to less cashloss on hand after our acquisition of Fusion at the beginning ofinvestment in PureCycle Technologies (“PureCycle”) during the second quarter 2020.  Miscellaneous expenses increased by approximately $0.8 millionof 2021. As discussed in Note 18 - 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 now recorded at fair value based on observable market prices for identical assets and the change in fair value is recorded as a resultnet investment gain or loss in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of higher pension costsIncome. We believe that cost investment gains and losses, whether realized from sales or unrealized from changes in market prices, are not considered relevant to understanding our reported consolidated earnings or evaluating our periodic economic performance. Lower net interest expenses were partially offset by an increase in miscellaneous expenses due to the decline in discount rates in 2020 compared to 2019 and higher costs to hedge certain Latin American currencies.currencies along with higher pension costs related to the decline in discount rates.

These improvements more than offset our increase is mainlyin pension costs due to $3.1 million of lower interest income in 2020 as a result of the Fusion Acquisition.

Net sales for the Pharma segment increased 8% in the second quarter of 2021 to $325.3 million compared to $301.3 million in the second quarter of 2020. Changes in currencies positively affected net sales by 6% in the second quarter of 2021. Therefore, core sales increased by 2% in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the second quarter of 2020. Core sales of our products to the injectables market increased 14% due to strong demand for our vaccine components. Sales of our active material science solutions increased 20% on growth in demand for our protective packaging solutions, especially protective film used on rapid COVID-19 tests and continued strength in product sales to our probiotics customers. Core sales to the prescription drug and consumer health care markets decreased 7% and 1%, respectively. Fewer non-critical doctor visits and lower incidence of cold and flu illnesses this season have resulted in certain Pharma customers drawing down inventory levels as sectors such as allergic rhinitis and cough and cold are impacted by low levels of patient consumption. We also benefited from strong tooling sales during the second quarter compared to the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2021 increased 2% to $106.0 million compared to $104.1 million reported in the same period of the prior year. We reported strong product growth in our injectables and active material science solutions markets and benefited from higher tooling sales. We were also able to offset lower product sales in our higher margin prescription and consumer healthcare markets with cost savings initiatives and the translation of our foreign entity results to the U.S. dollar. However, the shift in the mix of sales between our markets led to a lower Adjusted EBITDA margin as a percentage of sales.
Adjusted EBITDA in the first six months of 2021 increased slightly to $214.5 million compared to $212.4 million reported in the same period of the prior year. As discussed above, growth in our injectables and active material science solutions markets, along with higher tooling and favorable translation of our foreign entity results to the U.S. dollar were partially offset by lower product sales in our prescription and consumer healthcare markets. This shift in the mix of sales between our markets led to a lower Adjusted EBITDA margin as a percentage of sales.

We also reported incremental profit during the first nine months of 2020 was significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, mainly in our beauty applications. Our profitability was further impacted by special employee bonus payments to certain employees who worked to maintain supply to our customers and keep our facilities running as well as lower overhead absorption as we continue to manage demand fluctuations in our facilities.

Net sales for the Pharma segment increased 17% in the third quarter of 2020 to $315.8 million compared to $269.3 million in2021 as our Fusion acquisition was effective at the third quarter of 2019. Changes in currencies positively affected net sales by 4% while our acquisition of Noble positively impacted sales by 2% in the third quarter of 2020. Therefore, core sales increased by 11% in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of 2019. Core sales increased in each end market with the exceptionbeginning of the prescription drug market where higher sales of drug delivery devices were offset by lower custom tooling sales. Core sales to the consumer health care market increased 6% on strong demand for our products used on nasal saline and nasal decongestant treatments. Injectables core sales increased 27% on higher demand for primary components used with injected medicines such as existing seasonal flu vaccines and other treatments, as well as some initial orders in anticipation of coming COVID-19 vaccines. Active packaging core sales increased 56% mainly due to two large tooling projects during the quarter. We also reported strong sales growth in our ActivVial and ActivFilm used with probiotic and oral solid dose products.

Net sales for the first nine months of 2020 increased by 11% to $914.2 million compared to $823.9 million in the first nine months of 2019. While there was no impact from changes in currencies, our acquisitions of Noble, Nanopharm and Gateway positively impacted sales by 3% in the first nine months ofsecond quarter 2020. Therefore, core sales increased by 8% in the first nine months of 2020 compared to the same period in the prior year. The core sales decrease of 1% in the prescription drug market was driven by difficult prior year comparisons on tooling and central nervous system application sales. During 2019, we also benefited from the realization of $1.8 million of revenue for achieving a development milestone related to a customer project. Core sales to the consumer health care market increased 6% on strong demand for our products used on nasal decongestant, cough and cold and dermal drug delivery treatments. Core sales of our products to the injectables and active packaging markets increased 25% and 34% respectively due to strong sales across all applications and tooling as discussed above.

Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of 2020 increased 17% to $112.4 million compared to $95.9 million reported in the same period of the prior year. As discussed above, we reported strong product growth across most markets and benefited from higher tooling sales within our active packaging market. These core sales improvements, along with strong performance resulting from the Noble Acquisition led to the increase in reported results for the third quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of 2019. These improvements were slightly offset by $0.9 million higher stock-based compensation expense and $1.3 million of fair value adjustments related to our contingent consideration arrangement for the Noble Acquisition.
Adjusted EBITDA in the first nine months of 2020 increased 10% to $324.9 million compared to $294.7 million reported in the same period of the prior year. Increased sales in three of our divisions, along with incremental profit related to our acquisitions was able to compensate for $2.6 million of additional stock-based compensation expense and $1.3 million of fair value adjustments related to our contingent consideration arrangement for the Noble Acquisition. While the Pharma segment did not experience a significant sales impact from COVID-19, our margins were negatively impacted by lower sales of our high-margin prescription applications compared to our other product offerings. We also made special bonus payments to certain employees who worked to maintain supply to our customers and keep our facilities running.

Adjusted EBITDA in the thirdsecond quarter of 20202021 increased 9%10% to $20.4$19.6 million compared to $18.7 million reported in the same period of the prior year. Higher product sales to the food markets discussed above, along with the benefits we received from our cost containment activities and other operational improvements realized during the third quarter of 2020 more than compensated for lower tooling sales and other negative COVID-19 impacts, mainly on our beverage market applications.
Adjusted EBITDA in the first nine months of 2020 decreased 5% to $53.5 million compared to $56.4$17.8 million reported in the same period of the prior year. The COVID-19 impact onhigher product sales discussed above more than compensated for increasing input costs and higher incentive compensation costs as our 2021 operating results are significantly better than 2020. During the second quarter of 2021, we also incurred inflationary cost increases, including resin costs. While we maintain our normal pass-through of resin prices to offset these increases, there is no margin on resin pass-through costs which negatively impacts our Adjusted EBITDA margin.

For Corporate & Other, Adjusted EBITDA (which excludes net interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, restructuring initiatives, acquisition-related costs, net investment gains and acquisition-related costs)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.

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,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 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 consolidated adjusted earnings before net interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”), both of which exclude the business transformation charges (restructuring initiatives), acquisition-related costs, and purchase accounting adjustments related to acquisitions and investments.investments and net investment gains and losses related to observable market price changes on equity securities. Our “Outlook” discussion belowOutlook 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 tax and exchange rates, or reliably predicted because they are not part of our routine activities, such as restructuring initiatives and acquisition-related 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, andcash 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 operationsoperating activities less 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 strengtheningweakening U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies has a dilutivean additive translation effect on our financial statements. Conversely, a weakeningstrengthening U.S. dollar has an additivea dilutive effect. In some cases, we sell products denominated in a currency different from the currency in which the related costs are incurred. We manage our exposures to foreign exchange principally with forward exchange contracts to economically hedge recorded transactions and firm purchase and sales commitments denominated in foreign currencies. ChangesAny changes in exchange rates on such inter-country sales could materially impact our results of operations. During the thirdsecond quarter of 2020,2021, the U.S. dollar weakened compared to the major European currencies, while it appreciated againstChinese yuan, and most Latin America and Asian currencies. This resulted in an additive impact on our translated results during the thirdsecond quarter of 20202021 when compared to the thirdsecond quarter of 2019.2020.
Beginning July 1, 2018, we have applied highly inflationary accounting for our Argentinian subsidiariessubsidiary pursuant to U.S. GAAP. We have changed the functional currency from the Argentinian peso to the U.S. dollar. We remeasure our peso denominated assets and liabilities using the official rate. In September 2019, the President of Argentina reinstituted exchange controls restricting foreign currency purchases in an attempt to stabilize Argentina’s financial markets. As a result of these currency controls, a legal mechanism known as the Blue Chip Swap emerged in Argentina for reporting entities to transfer U.S. dollars. The Blue Chip Swap rate has diverged significantly from Argentina’s “official rate” due to the economic environment. During the second quarter of 2020, we transferred U.S. dollars into Argentina through the Blue Chip Swap method and we recognized a gain of $1.0 million. This gain helped to offset foreign currency losses due to our Argentinian peso exposure and devaluation against the U.S. dollar. ForAs of and for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, our Argentinian operations contributed less than 2.0% of consolidated net assets and revenues.
QUARTERLY TRENDS
Our results of operations in the last quarter of the year typically are negatively impacted by customer plant shutdowns in December. In addition toSeveral of the significantmarkets we serve are impacted by the seasonality of underlying consumer products. This, in turn, may have an impact of COVID-19 on our business, ournet sales and results of operations for those markets. However, we believe the diversification of our product portfolio minimizes fluctuations in aour overall quarterly period could be impacted by factors such as thefinancial statements and results in immaterial seasonality impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements when viewed quarter over quarter.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Given the diversificationour current low level of leverage relative to others in our segments,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 and to make acquisitions that will contribute to the achievement of our strategic objectives. AmidDue to uncertainty amid the COVID-19 pandemic, we are focused on preserving our liquidity and therefore we have temporarily suspended repurchasing sharesparticularly in light of our common stock and discretionary contributions to our defined benefit plans. However, we intend to continue to pay quarterly dividends to our stockholders, investvariant strains of the virus, in our business and make acquisitions as we consider necessary to achieve our strategic objectives. In the event that customer demand decreases significantly for a prolonged period of time due to the COVID-19 pandemic 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 decreased to $231.4$291.5 million at SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 from $247.0$305.0 million at December 31, 2019.2020.

In the first ninesix months of 2020,2021, our operations provided approximately $381.4$175.6 million in net cash flow compared to $380.4$227.7 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 increasedecrease in cash provided by operations during the first ninesix months of 20202021 is primarily attributable to betteran increase in working capital, managementdriven by an increase in accounts receivable on higher June sales in 2021 compared to 2020 and higher inventory levels built in anticipation of increased sales in the second half of 2021 including more expensive input costs, which offset lowerhigher net income.

During the first ninesix months of 2020,2021, we received net proceeds from our U.S. group credit facility of $70.0 million and stock option exercises of $51.1 million. We used cash on hand to pay $69.4repay net short term revolving debt of $52.0 million and paid $48.4 million of dividends, net repaymentsdividends. We received proceeds from stock option exercises of $14.0$53.0 million. On July 20, 2021, we paid $56 million related to our notes payableof the outstanding balance on the amended term loan.
On June 30, 2021, we entered into an amended and overdrafts and $61.7 million related to our outstanding long-term debt obligations.
We hold U.S. dollar and euro-denominated debt to align our capital structure with our earnings base. We also maintain arestated multi-currency revolving credit facility with(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 tranches, providingone-year extensions in certain circumstances, and provides for unsecured financing of up to $300$600 million that is available in the U.S. and up to €150 million that is available 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. $95.0 million was utilized under our U.S. facility andAs of June 30, 2021, no balance was utilized under our euro-basedthe revolving credit facility as of September 30, 2020.

Our revolving credit facility and corporate long-term obligations require us to satisfy certain financial and other covenants including:
RequirementLevel at SeptemberJune 30, 20202021
Consolidated Leverage Ratio (1)Maximum of 3.50 to 1.001.811.49 to 1.00
Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (1)Minimum of 3.00 to 1.0015.9218.93 to 1.00

(1)Definitions of ratios are included as part of the revolving credit facility agreement and the note purchaseprivate placement agreements.
Based upon the above consolidated leverage ratio covenant, we have the ability to borrow approximately an additional $938.1 million$1.2 billion before the 3.50 to 1.00 maximum ratio requirement is exceeded.
In addition, 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 June 30, 2021.
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 June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the amounts due to suppliers participating in the SCF and included in Accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities were approximately $24 million and $23 million, respectively.

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 October 15, 2020,July 22, 2021, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.36$0.38 per share payable on November 18, 2020August 25, 2021 to stockholders of record as of October 28, 2020.August 4, 2021.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We lease certain warehouse, plant and office facilities as well as certain equipment under noncancelable operating leases. Most of the operating leases contain renewal options and certain equipment leases include options to purchase during or at the end of the lease term. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 and subsequent amendments, which requires organizations to recognize leases on the balance sheet, we do not have significant off-balance sheet arrangements. Please refer to Note 7 – Leases of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
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 20202021 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. The new standard isASU 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. We doThe 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 June 30, 2021, we have not anticipate thatyet modified any contracts as a result of reference rate reform and are evaluating the impact this new guidance willstandard may have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, which amends disclosure requirements for defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. The amendments in this update remove disclosures that are no longer considered cost beneficial, clarify the specific requirements of disclosures, and add disclosure requirements identified as relevant.

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 entities.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, and Swiss franc amongand other Asian, European, and South American currencies. A weakening U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies has an additive translation effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Conversely, 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.
We manage our exposures to foreign exchange principally with forward exchange contracts to hedge certain firm purchase and sales commitments and intercompany cash transactions denominated in foreign currencies.
The table below provides information as of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 about our forward currency exchange contracts. The majority of the contracts expire before the end of the fourththird quarter of 2020.2021.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Management has evaluated, with the participation of the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of the Company, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act)Act of 1934) as of SeptemberJune 30, 2020.2021. Based on that evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that these controls and procedures were effective as of such date.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
During the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2020, we implemented enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) systems at one operating facility. Consequently, the control environments have been modified at this location to incorporate the controls contained within the new ERP systems. Except for the foregoing, noNo changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act)Act of 1934) occurred during our fiscal quarter ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1A. RISKFACTORS
The following risk factor is in addition to the risks described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 under Item 1A, “Risk Factors” filed with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act. The effects of the events and circumstances described in the following risk factors have elevated and may or will continue to elevate many of the risks contained in the Company’s Form 10-K, including the risks relating to a deterioration in economic conditions in a particular region or market, our fixed costs structure, reliance on single sourced materials and manufacturing sites and potential asset impairments.
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to adversely affect our business. Additional factors could exacerbate such negative consequences and/or create materially adverse effects. The COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected our sales of products to our travel and retail beauty business and on-the-go beverage customers in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and that adverse impact may continue into the fourth quarter. Beginning in the first quarter of 2020, economic and health conditions in the United States and across most of the globe have changed rapidly. Customer demand across all segments, particularly our Beauty + Home and Food + Beverage segments, may decrease further from historical levels depending on the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and the extent of further resurgences, the length of time it takes for normal economic and operating conditions to resume, additional governmental actions that may be taken and/or extensions of time for restrictions that have been imposed to date, and numerous other uncertainties. Such events may result in business and manufacturing disruption, inventory shortages due to disruptions to our supply chain and distribution channels, delivery delays, increased risk associated with customer payments and reduced sales and operations, any of which could materially affect our stock price, business prospects, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.
The ability of our employees to work may be significantly impacted by COVID-19. The majority of our office and management personnel are working remotely and the majority of our facilities remained operational during the first nine months of 2020 as each of our segments produce dispensing systems that have been determined to be essential products by various government agencies around the world. The health and safety of our workforce is of primary concern and we may need to enact further precautionary measures to help minimize the risk of our employees being exposed to the virus. Further, our management team is focused on mitigating the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has required and will continue to require a large investment of time and resources across the entire company, thereby diverting their attention from other priorities that existed prior to the outbreak of the pandemic. If these conditions worsen, or last for an extended period of time, our ability to manage our business may be impaired, and operational risks, cybersecurity risks and other risks facing us even prior to the pandemic may be elevated.

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”).

We may repurchase shares through the open market, privately negotiated transactions or other programs, subject to market conditions.
During the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, we did not repurchase any shares. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, there was $278.5 million of authorized share repurchases available to us. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, we arehave been focused on preserving our liquidity and therefore we have temporarily suspended repurchasing sharesour share repurchase plan in 2020. While we continue to assess the impact the pandemic is having on our business throughout 2021, we removed the aforementioned suspension during the first quarter of 2021 in order to preserve our common stock.flexibility to make repurchases from time to time depending on market conditions.
