Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Business Catalent, Inc. ( “ Catalent ” or the “ Company ” ) directly and wholly owns PTS Intermediate Holdings LLC ( “ Intermediate Holdings ” ). Intermediate Holdings directly and wholly owns Catalent Pharma Solutions, Inc. ( “ Operating Company ” ). The financial results of Catalent are primarily comprised of the financial results of Operating Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. In July 2014, the Company commenced an initial public offering (the “ IPO ” ) of its common stock, par value $0.01 (the “ Common Stock ” ), in which it sold a total of 48.9 million shares at a price of $20.50 per share, before underwriting discounts and commissions. The Common Stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “ NYSE ” ) under the symbol “ CTLT ” as of the IPO. The Company provides differentiated development and manufacturing solutions for drugs, protein-based biologics, cell, and gene therapies, and consumer health products at over fifty facilities across four continents under rigorous quality and operational standards. Its oral, injectable, and respiratory delivery technologies, along with its state-of-the-art protein and cell and gene therapy manufacturing capacity address a wide and growing range of modalities and therapeutic and other categories across the biopharmaceutical and consumer health industries. Through its extensive capabilities, growth-enabling capacity, and deep expertise in product development, regulatory compliance, and clinical trial supply, it can help its customers take products to market faster, including nearly half of new drug products approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) in the last decade. Its development and manufacturing platforms, which include those in its Biologics, Softgel and Oral Technologies, and Oral and Specialty Delivery segments, its proven formulation, supply, and regulatory expertise, and its broad and deep development manufacturing know-how enable its customers to advance and then bring to market more products and better treatments for patients and consumers. Its commitment to reliably supply its customers’ and their patients’ needs is the foundation for the value it provides; annually, it produces more than 70 billion doses for nearly 7,000 customer products, or approximately 1 in every 24 doses of such products taken each year by patients and consumers around the world. The Company believes that, through its investments in state-of-the-art facilities and capacity expansion, including investments in facilities focused on new treatment modalities and other attractive market segments, its continuous improvement activities devoted to operational and quality excellence, the sales of existing and introduction of new customer products, and, in some cases, its innovation activities and patents, it will continue to attract premium opportunities and realize the growth potential from these areas. Reporting Segments Each of the four reporting segments reports through a separate management team and ultimately reports to the Company's Chief Executive Officer, who is designated as the Chief Operating Decision Maker for segment reporting purposes. The Company's operating segments are the same as its reporting segments. Biologics The Company’s Biologics segment provides biologic cell-line, cell therapy and viral-based gene therapy development and manufacturing; formulation, development, and manufacturing for parenteral dose forms, including prefilled syringes, vials, and cartridges; and analytical development and testing services for large molecules. The segment has extensive expertise in development, scale up, and commercial manufacturing. The Company’s growing biologic offering includes cell-line development based on its advanced and patented GPEx suite of technologies, which are used to develop stable, high-yielding mammalian cell lines for both innovator and biosimilar biologic compounds. GPEx technology can provide rapid cell-line development, high biologics production yields, flexibility, and versatility. Its development and manufacturing facility in Madison, Wisconsin has the capability and capacity to produce current good manufacturing practices ("cGMP") quality biologics drug substance from 250L to 4,000L scale using single-use technology to provide maximum efficiency and flexibility. Its Bloomington, Indiana facility brings additional biologics development, clinical, and commercial drug substance manufacturing, and formulation capabilities and capacity. Both Bloomington and the Anagni, Italy facility add substantial capacity for finished-dose drug product manufacturing and packaging. The segment has continued to expand production capacity, including the fourth and fifth drug substance manufacturing suites in its Madison, Wisconsin facility, expanded drug product manufacturing and packaging capacity in its Bloomington and Anagni facilities, and recently announced a planned expansion of its Anagni facility to permit drug substance development and manufacturing. Its SMARTag next-generation antibody-drug conjugate (“ADC”) technology, based in Emeryville, California, is a clinical-stage technology that enables development of ADCs and other protein conjugates with improved efficacy, safety, and manufacturability. At the Company’s cell and gene therapy centers in Belgium, Maryland, and Texas, it develops and manufactures complex biologics, including CAR-T, AAV, lentivirus, oncolytic virus and other cell or virus modalities for cell- and viral-based therapies and next-generation vaccines. Through continued inorganic investment between November 2020 and June 2021, the Company acquired two additional cell and gene therapy manufacturing facilities and Delphi Genetics SA (“Delphi”), a plasmid DNA business, to create a European Center of Excellence in Belgium. This campus now includes clinical through commercial-scale cell therapy manufacturing and both small- and large-scale plasmid DNA production. Additionally, in August 2021, it acquired RheinCell Therapeutics GmbH (“RheinCell”), a company based in Lagenfeld, Germany that specializes in pluripotent stem cell (“iPSC”) production. This portfolio expansion strengthens Catalent’s cell therapy offering by adding proprietary cGMP iPSC cell lines and enhances the Company’s ability to manufacture next generation cell therapies at scale. In its gene therapy network across Maryland and Texas, the Company has further expanded its footprint with the construction of 5 additional commercial gene therapy suites at its Harmans commercial campus in Maryland, creating a total of 15 commercial suites, and repurposed its Rockville facility in Maryland for both small- and large-scale plasmid DNA production. Its specialized expertise in AAV vectors, the most commonly used delivery system for gene therapy, and both autologous and allogeneic cell therapy modalities, together with its expanded capabilities in plasmids, positions the Company to capitalize on strong and growing industry demand in the cell and gene therapy market. The segment's range of injectable manufacturing offerings includes manufacturing drug substance and filling small molecules or biologics into vials, syringes, and cartridges, with flexibility to accommodate other formats within the segment's existing network. In addition to primary packaging, its network provides secondary packaging capabilities, including auto-injector and safety device assembly for commercial launch and life cycle management. The Company's Clinical Supply Services business provides a global network for clinical distribution, as well as labeling, packaging and cold chain for clinical trial supply of biotherapeutics and cell and gene therapies. Its fill and finish services are largely focused on complex pharmaceuticals and biologics. With its range of technologies, the Company is able to meet a wide range of specifications, timelines, and budgets. The Company believes that the complexity of the manufacturing process, the importance of experience and know-how, regulatory compliance, and substantial capital requirements provide it with a meaningful competitive advantage in the market. The Biologics segment also offers biologics analytical development and testing services for large molecules, including bioassay, biophysical characterization, and cGMP release and stability testing. Its OneBio Suite provides customers the potential to seamlessly integrate drug substance, drug product, and clinical supply management for products in development, and for integrated commercial supply across both drug substance and drug product. The Biologics segment provides a broad range of technologies and services supporting the development and launch of new biologic entities, biosimilars, biobetters, and cell and gene therapies to bring a product from gene to commercialization, faster. Softgel and Oral Technologies Through its Softgel and Oral Technologies segment, the Company provides formulation, development, and manufacturing services for soft capsules, or “softgels,” as well as large-scale manufacturing of oral solid dose forms for pharmaceutical and consumer health markets, along with supporting ancillary services. Catalent’s softgel technology was first commercialized by its predecessor in the 1930s, and it has continually enhanced the platform since then. The segment is the market leader in overall softgel development and manufacturing and holds the leading market position in innovator drug softgels. Its principal softgel technologies include traditional softgel capsules, in which the shell is made of animal-derived gelatin, and Vegicaps and OptiShell capsules, in which the shell is made from plant-derived materials. Softgel capsules are used in a broad range of customer products, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, dietary supplements, unit-dose cosmetics, and animal health medicinal preparations. Softgel capsules encapsulate liquid, paste, or oil-based formulations of active compounds in solution or suspension within an outer shell. In the manufacturing process, the capsules are formed, filled, and sealed simultaneously. The segment typically performs encapsulation for a product within one of its softgel facilities, with active ingredients provided by customers or sourced directly by the Company. Softgels have historically been used to solve formulation challenges or technical issues for a specific drug, to help improve the clinical performance of compounds, to provide important market differentiation, particularly for over-the-counter medications, and to provide safe handling of hormonal, highly potent, and cytotoxic drugs. The segment also participates in the softgel vitamin, mineral, and supplement business in selected regions around the world. With the 2001 introduction of the Company’s plant-derived softgel shell, Vegicaps capsules, consumer health customers have been able to extend the softgel dose form to a broader range of active ingredients and serve patient/consumer populations that were previously inaccessible due to religious, dietary, or cultural preferences. In recent years, the segment extended this platform to pharmaceutical products via its OptiShell capsule offering. Its Vegicaps and OptiShell capsules are protected by patents in most major global markets. Physician and patient studies the Company has conducted have demonstrated a preference for softgels versus traditional tablet and hard capsule dose forms in terms of ease of swallowing, real or perceived speed of delivery, ability to remove or eliminate unpleasant odor or taste, and, for physicians, perceived improved patient adherence with dosing regimens. Its large-scale manufacturing under cGMP of oral solid dose forms typically includes late-stage clinical trial supplies, registration batches, and commercial production across a broad range of formats, and may also involve advanced processing of intermediates to achieve the desired clinical performance of the prescription or over-the-counter pharmaceutical product. Finished dose forms include traditional and advanced complex oral solid-doses, including coated and uncoated tablets, pellet/bead/powder-filled two-piece hard capsules, granulated powders, and other immediate and modified release forms. Advanced intermediate processing may include coating, extrusion, or spheronization to achieve specific functional outcomes, including site or time-specific drug release, taste masking, or enhanced bioavailability. The Company has deep experience at managing complex technical transfers of clinical or commercial programs, whether from Catalent’s early development network in the Oral and Specialty Delivery segment, other contract development sites, or from customers directly. Oral and Specialty Delivery The Company’s Oral and Specialty Delivery segment provides advanced analytical and formulation development and manufacturing across a range of technologies along with integrated downstream clinical development and commercial supply solutions. The technologies cover a broad range of oral (including its proprietary fast-dissolve Zydis tablets and many bioavailability enhancement technologies for both immediate and controlled-release tablets and capsules), respiratory and inhaled dose forms (including metered dose inhalers, dry powder inhalers and nasal delivery devices). The segment provides comprehensive pre-clinical screening, formulation and analytical development, and cGMP manufacturing at both clinical and commercial scale for both traditional and advanced complex oral solid-dose formats. It has substantial, proven experience in developing and scaling up orphan and rare disease oral products, especially those requiring accelerated development timelines, solubility enhancement, specialized handling ( e.g ., potent or controlled substance materials), complex technology transfer and specialized manufacturing processes. It provides spray drying, hot melt extrusion, micronization, and lipid formulation capabilities, all of which are used to enhance a drug’s bioavailability and clinical performance. It offers comprehensive analytical method development and scientific capabilities, including stability testing, and global regulatory services to support both fully integrated development programs and standalone fee-for-service work. In recent years, the segment has expanded its network of clinical development sites focused on earlier phase compounds ( i.e ., pre-clinical and Phase I) to engage with more customer molecules earlier in their development, with the intent to also support these molecules downstream as they progress towards commercial approval and supply. Demand for its offerings is driven by the need for strong scientific expertise, the depth and breadth of integrated services offered, as well as the reliability of its supply performance across quality and operational parameters. The Company launched its orally dissolving tablet business in 1986 with the introduction of Zydis, a unique proprietary freeze-dried tablet that dissolves in the mouth, without water, in typically less than three seconds. The platform is often used for drugs that benefit from rapid oral dissolution and buccal absorption and for drugs for specialized patient groups, including geriatric or pediatric populations, that have difficulty swallowing (dysphagia). The Company can adapt the Zydis technology to a wide range of molecules and indications, including prescription treatments for a variety of central nervous system-related conditions such as migraine, Parkinson’s disease, and schizophrenia, and also for a range of consumer healthcare products targeting broader indications such as pain or allergy relief. It continues to invest in and develop Zydis orally dissolving tablets in different ways with its customers as it extends the application of the technology to new therapeutic categories, including immunotherapy, vaccines and biologic molecule delivery. The segment’s respiratory platform provides integrated molecule screening, formulation development, and commercial manufacturing services for inhaled products delivered via metered dose inhalers, dry powder inhalers, and intra-nasal sprays. Delivery of these inhaled combination device products requires specialized capabilities to account for both the molecule and the device, to ensure accurate repeatable dose delivery. Clinical Supply Services The Company’s Clinical Supply Services segment provides manufacturing, packaging, storage, distribution, and inventory management for drugs and biologics in clinical trials. It offers customers flexible solutions for clinical supplies production and provide distribution and inventory management support for both simple and complex clinical trials. This includes over-encapsulation where needed; supplying placebos, comparator drug procurement, and clinical packages and kits for physicians and patients; inventory management; investigator kit ordering and fulfillment; and return supply reconciliation and reporting. It supports trials in all regions of the world through its facilities and distribution network. In recent years, the segment has continued to expand and extend its network, with significant expansions in Kansas City, Missouri and Singapore and new facilities in California, China, and Japan. The segment continues to develop new solutions for the evolving clinical trial environment, including FlexDirect direct-to-patient and CT Success and trial planning. The Clinical Supply Services segment is the leading provider of integrated development solutions and one of the leading providers of clinical trial supplies. Basis of Presentation These financial statements include all of the Company’s subsidiaries, including those operating outside the United States ( “ U.S. ” ) and are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). All significant transactions among the Company’s subsidiaries and reporting segments have been eliminated, other than as noted. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, allowance for credit losses, inventory and long-lived asset valuation, goodwill and other intangible asset valuation and impairment, equity-based compensation, income taxes, derivative valuation, and pension plan asset and liability valuation. Actual amounts may differ from these estimated amounts. Reclassification Certain prior-period amounts were reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications did not have a material impact on the consolidated statements of operations, consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of cash flows, or notes to the consolidated financial statements. Foreign Currency Translation The financial statements of the Company’s operations outside the U.S. are generally measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Adjustments to translate the assets and liabilities of the foreign operations into U.S. dollars are accumulated as a component of other comprehensive income utilizing period-end exchange rates. Beginning on July 1, 2018, as a result of the three-year cumulative consumer price index exceeding 100%, the Company has accounted for its Argentine operations as highly inflationary, but this change has not had a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. The currency fluctuation related to certain long-term inter-company loans where settlement is not planned or anticipated in the foreseeable future have been recorded within the cumulative translation adjustment, a component of other comprehensive income. In addition, the currency fluctuation associated with the portion of the Company’s euro-denominated debt designated as a net investment hedge is included as a component of other comprehensive income. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses calculated by utilizing weighted average exchange rates for the period are included in the statements of operations in “ other expense, net. ” Such foreign currency transaction gains and losses include inter-company loans that are repayable in the foreseeable future. Cash and Cash Equivalents All liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less are considered cash equivalents. The carrying value of these cash equivalents approximates fair value. Allowance for Credit Losses Trade receivables, contract assets, and other amounts owed to the Company are presented net of an allowance that includes an assessment of expected credit losses. The Company determines its allowance methodology by considering various factors, including the Company’s previous loss history, aging of customer receivable balances, significant aspects of a geographic location's economic conditions, the current and anticipated future condition of the general economy and the industries in which the Company's primary customers operate. To the extent that the Company identifies that any individual customer's credit quality has deteriorated, the Company establishes allowances based on the individual risk characteristics of that customer. The Company makes concerted efforts to collect all outstanding balances due from customers; however, trade receivables and contract assets are written off against the allowance when the related balances are no longer deemed collectible. Concentrations of Credit Risk and Major Customers Concentration of credit risk, with respect to accounts receivable, is limited due to the large number of customers and their dispersion across different geographic areas. The customers are primarily concentrated in the pharmaceutical and consumer products industries. The Company does not normally require collateral or any other security to support credit sales. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial conditions and maintains reserves for credit losses. Such losses historically have been within the Company’s expectations. No single customer exceeded 10% of revenue during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2021, 2020, and 2019. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had one customer that represented 15% or $155 million of its net trade receivables balance. No customer exceeded 10% of trade receivables as of June 30, 2020. Inventories Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, using the first-in, first-out ( “ FIFO ” ) method. The Company provides for cost adjustments for excess, obsolete, or slow-moving inventory based on changes in customer demand, technology developments or other economic factors. Inventory consists of costs associated with raw material, labor, and overhead. Goodwill The Company accounts for purchased goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other . Under ASC 350, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment at least annually. The Company performs an impairment evaluation of goodwill annually during the fourth quarter of its fiscal year or when circumstances otherwise indicate an evaluation should be performed. The evaluation may begin with a qualitative assessment for each reporting unit to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. Factors considered in a qualitative assessment include, among other things, macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, financial performance of the respective reporting unit and other relevant entity and reporting-unit specific considerations. If the qualitative assessment does not generate a positive response, or if no qualitative assessment is performed, a quantitative assessment, based upon discounted cash flows, is performed and requires management to estimate future cash flows, growth rates, and macroeconomic, industry, and market conditions. In fiscal 2019 and 2021, the Company began its impairment evaluation with the qualitative assessment, but in fiscal 2020, the Company proceeded immediately to the quantitative assessment. Based on its qualitative assessment conducted as of April 1, 2021, the Company determined for each reporting unit with goodwill that it was more likely than not that its respective fair value exceeded its carrying value, indicating there was no impairment. For more information regarding goodwill balances at June 30, 2021, see Note 4, Goodwill . Property and Equipment and Other Definite-Lived Intangible Assets Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, including leasehold improvements and finance lease right-of-use assets that are amortized over the shorter of their useful lives or the terms of the respective leases. The Company generally uses the following range of useful lives for its property and equipment categories: buildings and improvements—5 to 50 years; machinery and equipment—3 to 10 years; and furniture and fixtures—3 to 7 years. Depreciation expense was $196 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, $165 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, and $141 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019. Depreciation expense includes amortization of assets related to financing leases. The Company charges repairs and maintenance costs to expense as incurred. The amount of capitalized interest for fiscal 2021 and 2020 was $17 million and $11 million, respectively, and was immaterial for fiscal 2019. Intangible assets with finite lives, including customer relationships, patents, and trademarks, are amortized over their useful lives. The Company also capitalizes certain computer software and development costs in other intangibles, net, when incurred in connection with developing or obtaining computer software for internal use. Capitalized software costs are amortized over the estimated useful lives of the software, which generally range from 3 to 5 years. The Company evaluates the recoverability of its other long-lived assets, including amortizing intangible assets, if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred pursuant to ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment . This analysis is performed by comparing the respective carrying values of the assets to the current and expected future cash flows, on an un-discounted basis, to be generated from such assets. If such analysis indicates that the carrying value of these assets is not recoverable, the carrying value of such assets is reduced to fair value through a charge to the consolidated statements of operations. Fair value is determined based on assumptions the Company believes marketplace participants would utilize and comparable marketplace information in similar arm’s length transactions. The Company recorded impairment charges related to definite-lived intangible assets and property, plant, and equipment of $9 million, $5 million, and $5 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively. Post-Retirement and Pension Plans The Company sponsors various retirement and pension plans, including defined benefit and defined contribution retirement plans. The measurement of the related benefit obligations and the net periodic benefit costs recorded each year are based upon actuarial computations, which require management’s judgment as to certain assumptions. These assumptions include the discount rates used in computing the present value of the benefit obligations and the net periodic benefit costs, the expected future rate of salary increases (for pay-related plans) and the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets (for funded plans). The Company uses the corridor approach to amortize actuarial gains and losses. The Company has elected to utilize an approach to estimate the service and interest components of net periodic benefit cost for benefit plans that discounts the individual expected cash flows using the applicable spot rates derived from the yield curve over the projected cash flow period. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is based on the target asset allocation and the average expected rate of growth for the asset classes invested. The average expected rate of growth is derived from a combination of historic returns, current market indicators, and the expected risk premium for each asset class. The Company uses a measurement date of June 30 for all its retirement and postretirement benefit plans. Derivative Instruments, Hedging Activities, and Fair Value Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest-rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its debt funding and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments from time to time to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the values of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s borrowings. The Company does not net any of its derivative positions under master netting arrangements. Primarily, the Company is exposed to fluctuations in the euro-U.S. dollar exchange rate on its investments in foreign operations in Europe. While the Company does not actively hedge against changes in foreign currency, it has mitigated the exposure of investments in its European operations through a net-investment hedge by denominating a portion of its debt in euros. In addition, a portion of Operating Company's interest payment obligation on its U.S dollar-denominated term loans is exposed to interest rate variability. The Company has mitigated its exposure to this risk by entering into interest-rate swap agreements, which qualify for and are designated as cash-flow hedges. Also, as discussed in Note 9, Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities , the Company has determined that an aspect of the dividend-rate adjustment feature of the Company’s convertible Series A Preferred Stock (as defined below, see Note 13, Equity, Redeemable Preferred Stock, and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss ) should be accounted for as a derivative liability. Fair Value The Company is required to measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value, either upon initial measurement or for subsequent accounting or reporting. The Company uses fair value extensively, including in the initial measurement of net assets acquired in a business combination and when accounting for and reporting on certain financial instruments. The Company estimates fair value using an exit price approach, which requires, among other things, that it determine the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly market. The determination of an exit price is considered from the perspective of market participants, considering the highest and best use of assets and, for liabilities, assuming the risk of non-performance will be the same before and after the transfer. A single estimate of fair value results from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and relies heavily on estimates and assumptions. When estimating fair value, depending on the nature and complexity of the assets or liability, the Company may use one or all of the following approaches: • Market approach, which is based on market prices and other information from market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. • Cost approach, which is based on the cost to acquire or construct comparable assets less an allowance for functional and/or economic obsolescence. • Income approach, which is based on the present value of the future stream of net cash flows. Certain investments that are measured at fair value using the net asset value ( “ NAV ” ) per share (or its equivalent) pr |
