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, 2019 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. 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 subsidiaries 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, our Argentinian operations contributed less than 2.0% of consolidated net assets and revenues.

There are many uncertainties regarding the current COVID-19 pandemic, including the scope of scientific and health issues, the anticipated duration of the pandemic and the extent of local and worldwide social, political and economic disruption it may cause. The pandemic has impacted our business, operations and financial results during the six months ended June 30, 2020 including an overall reduction to net sales. NaN impairments were recorded as of June 30, 2020. While the disruption is currently expected to be temporary, there is uncertainty around the duration. Due to significant uncertainty surrounding the situation, our judgment regarding future results could change 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, 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.

Table of Contents

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.

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 timing differences between the tax basis of an asset or liability and our reported amount in the financial statements, an appropriate provision for deferred income taxes is made.

We maintain our assertion that the cash and distributable reserves at our non-U.S. affiliates are indefinitely reinvested. Under current U.S. tax laws, all of our non-U.S. earnings are 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 is subject to taxation and files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and many state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company believes that an adequate provision has been made for any adjustments that may result from tax examinations. However, the outcome of tax audits cannot be predicted with certainty. If any issues addressed in the Company’s tax audits are resolved in a manner inconsistent with its expectations, the Company 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 six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 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 and invoiced to the customer. We recognize a contract liability if the customer's payment of consideration precedes the entity's performance.

The opening and closing balances of our contract asset and contract liabilities are as follows:


	Balance as of		Balance as of		Increase/
	December 31, 2019		June 30, 2020		(Decrease)
Contract asset (current)	$	16,245	$	15,113	$	(1,132)
Contract asset (long-term)	$	—	$	—	$	—
Contract liability (current)	$	79,305	$	70,708	$	(8,597)
Contract liability (long-term)	$	9,779	$	20,662	$	10,883

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 $27.3 million, including $21.6 million relating to contract liabilities at the beginning of the year.

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.

Table of Contents

Product Sales

We primarily manufacture and sell dispensing, sealing and active packaging 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. 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. Therefore, our performance obligation is satisfied at the time of shipment. 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.

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 build 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 customers 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. At December 31, 2019, $515 thousand of unearned revenue associated with outstanding contracts was reported in Accounts Payable, Accrued and Other Liabilities. At June 30, 2020, the unearned amount was $410 thousand. We expect to recognize approximately $111 thousand of the unearned amount during the remainder of 2020, $125 thousand in 2021, and $174 thousand thereafter.

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 June 30, 2020, we reported $576 million of accounts receivable, net of CECL of $6.1 million. Changes in the allowance were not material for the six months ended June 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 5 – INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, was 31.0% and 27.6%. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was favorably impacted by net tax benefits of $2.9 million from discrete events. This consisted of a $9.1 million benefit from the excess tax benefits from employee share-based compensation offset by, among other items, a $6.3 million charge to record a valuation allowance to properly reflect the realization of recorded deferred tax assets.

The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, was 30.0% and 28.7%. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 reflects a favorable impact of net tax benefits of $4.6 million, primarily from the excess tax benefits from employee share-based compensation. This is offset by the unfavorable impact from the mix of earnings, particularly losses in jurisdictions where we cannot record the tax benefit. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was favorably impacted by net tax benefits of $4.1 million from discrete events. This consisted of a favorable impact of $11.6 million from the excess tax benefits from employee share-based compensation, offset by, among other items, a $7.0 million charge recognized to record a valuation allowance to properly reflect the realization of recorded deferred tax assets.

Although we currently have 0 minimum funding requirements for our domestic and foreign plans, we contributed $204 thousand to our ongoing domestic supplemental employee retirement plan (“SERP”) annuity contracts during the six months ended June 30, 2020. We plan to contribute approximately an additional $200 thousand to pay our ongoing SERP annuity contracts during 2020. We have contributed approximately $1.1 million to our foreign defined benefit plans during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and do not expect additional significant contributions during 2020.

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 denominated transactions from adverse changes in exchange rates. Sales of our products can be denominated in a currency different from the currency in which the related costs to produce the product are denominated. Changes in exchange rates on such inter-country sales or intercompany loans can impact our results of operations. Our policy is not to engage in speculative foreign currency hedging activities, but to minimize our net foreign currency transaction exposure, defined as firm commitments and transactions recorded and denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. We may use foreign currency forward exchange contracts, options and cross currency swaps to economically hedge these risks.

For derivative instruments designated as hedges, we formally document the nature and relationships between the hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as the risk management objectives, strategies for undertaking the various hedge transactions, and the method of assessing hedge effectiveness at inception. Quarterly thereafter, we formally assess whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item. Additionally, in order to designate any derivative instrument as a hedge of an anticipated transaction, the significant characteristics and expected terms of any anticipated transaction must be specifically identified, and it must be probable that the anticipated transaction will occur. All derivative financial instruments used as hedges are recorded at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 11 - Fair Value for additional details.

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 new 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 cross currency 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 $0.9 million of loss is included in accumulated other comprehensive loss at June 30, 2020. 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 June 30, 2020 is $0.3 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 June 30, 2020, the fair values of the cross currency swap were a $3.1 million asset. The swap contract expires on July 20, 2022.

Hedge of Net Investments in Foreign Operations

A significant number of our operations are located outside of the United States. Because of this, movements in exchange rates may have a significant impact on the translation of the financial condition and results of operations of our foreign subsidiaries. A strengthening U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies has a dilutive translation effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Conversely, a weakening U.S. dollar has an additive effect. In some cases, we maintain debt in these subsidiaries to offset the net asset exposure. We do not otherwise actively manage this risk using derivative financial instruments. In the event we plan on a full or partial liquidation of any of our foreign subsidiaries where our net investment is likely to be monetized, we will consider hedging the currency exposure associated with such a transaction.

Other

As of June 30, 2020, we have recorded the fair value of foreign currency forward exchange contracts of $0.7 million in prepaid and other and $0.1 million in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the balance sheet. All forward exchange contracts outstanding as of June 30, 2020 had an aggregate notional contract amount of $49.4 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.

As of June 30, 2020, the fair values of our financial assets and liabilities were categorized as follows:


	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3

(1)	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 June 30, 2020 and $1.1 billion as of December 31, 2019.

As discussed in Note 17 - Acquisitions, we have a contingent consideration obligation to the selling equity holders of Fusion in connection with the Fusion Acquisition (as defined herein) based on 2022 cumulative performance targets, a contingent consideration obligation to the selling equity holders of Noble in connection with the Noble Acquisition (as defined herein) 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 $20.3 million, $2.9 million and $1.5 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2020. During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, $1.5 million of the Gateway contingent consideration accrual was paid as a result of the business meeting their first performance target. 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.

NOTE 12 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company, in the normal course of business, is 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, 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 June 30, 2020 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, we did not receive any insurance proceeds, and have 0 insurance receivable as of June 30, 2020. During the six months ended June 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 six months ended June 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, we paid approximately $0.1 million and made adjustments to the accrual based on our future anticipated expenditures. As of June 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. During the first quarter of 2019, we received a favorable court decision of $2.7 million for the retrospective right to recover part of our claim. This amount is recorded in cost of sales as a favorable impact of $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. If the Judicial Court grants full retrospective recovery, we estimate remaining potential recoveries of approximately $1.5 million to $7.5 million, including interest, depending on the future decisions of the Supreme Court of Brazil. 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. On June 4, 2020, an unfavorable decision was issued on the first administrative defense appeal. We are awaiting the formal notification in order to review its content and file our second appeal. 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 June 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, we did not repurchase any shares. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we repurchased approximately 34 thousand shares and 193 thousand shares for approximately $4.1 million and $19.1 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2020, 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.

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.

Included in the June 30, 2020 time-based RSUs are 12,379 units granted to non-employee directors and 11,490 units vested related to non-employee directors.

Compensation expense recorded attributable to RSUs for the first six months of 2020 and 2019 was approximately $16.3 million and $9.8 million, respectively. The actual tax benefit realized for the tax deduction from RSUs was approximately $3.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020. The fair value of units vested during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $10.7 million and $4.1 million, respectively. The intrinsic value of units vested during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $12.8 million and $4.8 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2020, there was $58.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost relating to RSU awards which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years.

Historically we issued stock options to our employees and non-employee directors. Beginning in 2019, we no longer issue stock options. Stock options were awarded with the exercise price equal to the market price on the date of grant and generally vest over three years and expire 10 years after grant. Compensation expense attributable to employee stock options for the first six months of 2020 was approximately $1.3 million ($1.0 million after tax). Approximately $1.1 million of the compensation expense was recorded in selling, research & development and administrative expenses and the balance was recorded in cost of sales. Compensation expense attributable to stock options for the first six months of 2019 was approximately $3.2 million ($2.7 million after tax). Approximately $2.7 million of the compensation expense was recorded in selling, research & development and administrative expenses and the balance was recorded in cost of sales. The reduction in stock option expense is due to our move to RSUs as discussed above. For stock option grants, we used historical data to estimate expected life and volatility.

The grant date fair value of options vested during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $7.6 million and $12.2 million, respectively. Cash received from option exercises was approximately $30.1 million and the actual tax benefit realized for the tax deduction from option exercises was approximately $6.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020. As of June 30, 2020, the remaining valuation of stock option awards to be expensed in future periods was $1.0 million and the related weighted-average period over which it is expected to be recognized is 0.7 years.

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 six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 is as follows:

NOTE 17 – ACQUISITIONS

Business Combinations

On April 1, 2020, we completed our acquisition (the “Fusion Acquisition”) of 100% of the equity interests of Fusion Packaging, Inc. (“Fusion”) for a purchase price of approximately $163.8 million (net of $1.0 million of cash acquired), which was funded by a draw on our revolving credit facility and cash on hand. Fusion, based in Dallas, TX, is a global leader in the design, engineering and distribution of luxury packaging for the beauty industry. As part of the Fusion Acquisition, we are also obligated to pay to the selling equity holders of Fusion certain contingent consideration based on 2022 cumulative financial performance metrics as defined in the purchase agreement. Based on a projection as of the acquisition date, we estimated the aggregate fair value for this contingent consideration arrangement to be $19.1 million utilizing a Black-Scholes valuation model. As of June 30, 2020, $5.7 million was held in restricted cash pending the finalization of a working capital adjustment and indemnity escrow. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, $2.0 million of working capital escrow was released from restriction. Fusion contributed net sales of $13.8 million and pretax loss of $3.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 which have been included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements within our Beauty + Home segment. Included in pretax loss is $2.7 million of fair value adjustment amortization for inventory sold during 2020. We are in the process of finalizing our purchase accounting.

On October 31, 2019, we completed our acquisition (the “Noble Acquisition”) of 100% of the equity interests of Noble International Holdings, Inc., Genia Medical, Inc. and JBCB Holdings, LLC (collectively referred to as “Noble”). Noble, based in Orlando, FL, is a leading provider in developing patient-centric advanced drug delivery system training devices including autoinjector, prefilled syringe, onbody and respiratory devices for the world’s leading biopharmaceutical companies and original equipment manufacturers. The purchase price was approximately $62.3 million (net of $1.6 million of cash acquired) and was funded by cash on hand. As part of the Noble Acquisition, we are also obligated to pay to the selling equity holders of Noble certain contingent consideration based on 2024 cumulative financial performance metrics defined in the purchase agreement. Based on projection as of the acquisition date, we estimated the aggregate fair value for this contingent consideration arrangement to be $2.9 million utilizing the Black-Scholes valuation model. As of December 31, 2019, $5 million was held in restricted cash pending the finalization of a working capital adjustment and indemnity escrow. During the first quarter of 2020, $1.0 million related to the working capital escrow was released from restriction, resulting in an additional $463 thousand payment due to the seller and a corresponding increase to our purchase price and associated goodwill balance. The results of Noble’s operations have been included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements within our Pharma segment since the date of acquisition.

On June 5, 2019, we completed our acquisition (the “Nanopharm Acquisition”) of all of the outstanding capital stock of Nanopharm Ltd. (“Nanopharm”). Nanopharm, located in Newport, UK, is a science-driven, leading provider of orally inhaled and nasal drug product design and development services. The purchase price was approximately $38.1 million (net of $1.8 million of cash acquired) and was funded by cash on hand. The results of Nanopharm’s operations have been included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements within our Pharma segment since the date of acquisition.

On May 31, 2019, we completed our acquisition (the “Gateway Acquisition”) of all of the outstanding equity interests of Gateway Analytical LLC (“Gateway”). Gateway, located in Gibsonia, PA, provides industry-leading particulate detection and predictive analytical services to customers developing injectable medicines. The purchase price was approximately $7.0 million and was funded by cash on hand. As part of the Gateway Acquisition, we are also obligated to pay to the selling equity holder of Gateway certain contingent consideration based on 2020 and 2022 performance targets defined in the purchase agreement. Based on projections as of the acquisition date, we estimated the aggregate fair value for this contingent consideration arrangement to be $3.0 million. During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, $1.5 million of the contingent consideration accrual was paid as a result of the business meeting their first performance target. Additionally, the remaining $1.5 million accrual was reclassified from long-term to short-term liabilities as the payment is expected to be made within a year. The results of Gateway’s operations have been included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements within our Pharma segment since the date of acquisition.

Goodwill in the amount of $99.6 million was recorded related to the Fusion Acquisition which is included in the Beauty + Home segment and $59.1 million was recorded related to the 2019 acquisitions, all of which are included in the Pharma segment. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets acquired and represents the estimated future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. Goodwill largely consists of unique relationships, brand equity and proprietary technology that has been established creating niches such as turnkey solutions for the beauty market related to the Fusion Acquisition, analytical services for drug developers related to the Nanopharm Acquisition and Gateway Acquisition and patient onboarding related to the Noble Acquisition, as well as the abilities of the acquired companies to maintain their competitive advantage from a technical viewpoint. Goodwill will not be amortized, but will be tested for impairment at least annually. For the Fusion Acquisition, goodwill of $82.3 million will be deductible for tax purposes. For the 2019 acquisitions, goodwill of $31.1 million will be deductible for tax purposes.

The unaudited pro forma results presented below include the effects of the Fusion Acquisition as if it had occurred as of January 1, 2019. The unaudited pro forma results reflect certain adjustments related to the acquisition, such as intangible asset amortization, fair value adjustments for inventory and financing costs related to the change in our debt structure. The pro forma results do not include any synergies or other expected benefits of the acquisition. Accordingly, the unaudited pro forma financial information below is not necessarily indicative of either future results of operations or results that might have been achieved had the acquisition been completed on the date indicated.

NOTE 19 – RESTRUCTURING INITIATIVES

In late 2017, we began a business transformation to drive profitable sales growth, increase operational excellence, enhance our approach to innovation and improve organizational effectiveness. The primary focus of the plan is the Beauty + Home segment; however, certain global general and administrative functions are also being addressed. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized $7.3 million and $12.2 million of restructuring costs related to this plan, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized $1.7 million and $11.3 million of restructuring costs related to this plan, respectively. Using current exchange rates, we estimate total implementation costs of approximately $125 million for these initiatives, including costs that have been recognized to date. The cumulative expense incurred as of June 30, 2020 was $98.7 million. We also anticipate making capital investments related to the transformation plan of approximately $50 million, of which $43 million has been incurred to date.

As of June 30, 2020 we have recorded the following activity associated with the business transformation:

SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS

During the second quarter of 2020, financial results and operations continued to be adversely impacted by the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic. The significance of the impacts to our segments during the second quarter and first six months of 2020 are discussed herein and include, but are not limited to, the adverse 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. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our financial results and operations for fiscal year 2020 and going forward for all three of our business segments will depend on future developments which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the outbreak and the international actions being taken to contain and treat it. No impairments were recorded as of June 30, 2020. While the disruption is currently expected to be temporary, there is uncertainty around the duration. Due to significant uncertainty surrounding the situation, our judgment regarding future results could change 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, the majority of our facilities remained operational during the second 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 speed with which the situation continues to evolve, 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 $699.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, which represents a 6% decrease compared to $742.7 million reported during the second quarter of 2019. Sales were negatively impacted by changes in currency exchange rates, passing through lower resin costs to customers and COVID-19 related effects on certain markets we serve. The average U.S. dollar exchange rate strengthened compared to most major currencies we operate in, resulting in a negative currency translation impact of 3%. The acquisitions of Gateway, Nanopharm, Noble and Fusion positively impacted sales by 3%. Therefore, core sales, which exclude acquisitions and changes in foreign currency rates, decreased by 6% in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. During the second quarter of 2020, our consolidated core sales were negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, especially within our Beauty + Home and Food + Beverage segments. For Beauty + Home, beauty sales were significantly impacted by the loss of travel and retail sales during the second quarter of 2020. Our Food + Beverage segment also realized lower core sales due to the negative impact of COVID-19, especially on our single-serving beverage product sales. Food + Beverage sales were also impacted by lower tooling sales the effects of passing through lower resin costs to our customers during the quarter. Conversely, our Pharma segment was less impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and realized strong core sales growth during the second quarter of 2020 with three of the four divisions reporting increased sales compared to the same prior year period.

For the first six months of 2020, we reported net sales of $1.42 billion, 4% below the first six months of 2019 reported net sales of $1.49 billion. Sales were negatively impacted by changes in currency exchange rates, passing-through lower resin costs to customers and COVID-19 related effects on certain markets we serve. The average U.S. dollar exchange rate strengthened compared to most major currencies we operate in, resulting in a negative currency translation impact of 2%. The acquisitions of Gateway, Nanopharm, Noble and Fusion positively impacted sales by 2%. Therefore, core sales, which exclude acquisitions and changes in foreign currency rates, decreased by 4% in the first six months of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. As discussed above, the Beauty + Home and Food + Beverage segments have both been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and passing through lower resin costs.

COST OF SALES (EXCLUSIVE OF DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION SHOWN BELOW)

Cost of sales (“COS”) as a percent of net sales remained consistent at 63.2% in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter of 2019. Our COS percentage was positively impacted by our cost containment efforts and the mix of business as we reported sales growth in our higher margin Pharma segment compared to sales declines in the Beauty + Home and Food + Beverage segments. However, we did experience some additional costs, under-absorbed overhead and temporary disruptions to our manufacturing capacities during the second quarter of 2020 related to the COVID-19 pandemic. For example, we declared a special bonus payment to certain employees who worked to maintain supply to our customers and keep our facilities running, which increased our COS percentage during the second quarter of 2020.

Cost of sales as a percent of net sales decreased slightly to 62.8% in the first six months of 2020 compared to 63.1% in the same period a year ago. As mentioned above, our COS was favorably impacted by the increased mix in our higher margin Pharma business. We also realized approximately $5.4 million in lower resin costs during the first half of 2020 as prices have declined compared to the prior year. However, we also reported additional costs and temporary inefficiencies in our manufacturing process related to the COVID-19 pandemic as discussed above.

SELLING, RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT AND ADMINISTRATIVE

Selling, research & development and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) increased by approximately $9.6 million to $123.4 million in the second quarter of 2020 compared to $113.8 million during the same period in 2019. Excluding changes in foreign currency rates, SG&A increased by approximately $12.6 million in the quarter. The increase is partly due to $8.0 million of new operational and transaction costs for our acquisitions completed subsequent to June 30, 2019. We also recognized higher personnel costs, including $2.2 million in stock-based compensation, in accordance with our growth strategy. SG&A as a percentage of net sales increased to 17.6% compared to 15.3% in the same period of the prior year due to the cost increases mentioned above.

SG&A increased by $14.6 million to $249.6 million in the first six months of 2020 compared to $235.0 million during the same period a year ago. Excluding changes in foreign currency rates, SG&A increased by approximately $20.2 million in the first six months of 2020 compared to the first six months of 2019. As discussed above, the increase is related to $12.3 million of new SG&A costs from our acquisitions completed subsequent to June 30, 2019, along with higher personnel costs. SG&A as a percentage of net sales increased to 17.6% compared to 15.8% in the same period of the prior year.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

Reported depreciation and amortization expenses increased by approximately $8.5 million to $56.4 million in the second quarter of 2020 compared to $47.9 million during the same period a year ago. Excluding changes in foreign currency rates, depreciation and amortization increased by approximately $9.8 million in the quarter compared to the same period in 2019. The majority of this increase is due to $6.8 million of incremental depreciation and amortization costs related to our acquired companies. Depreciation and amortization as a percentage of net sales increased to 8.1% in the second quarter of 2020 compared to 6.5% in the same period of the prior year primarily due to a combination of lower sales in the current year and the increase in expenses noted above.

Reported depreciation and amortization expenses increased by approximately $11.9 million to $107.2 million in the first six months of 2020 compared to $95.3 million during the same period a year ago. Excluding changes in foreign currency rates, depreciation and amortization increased by approximately $14.2 million in the first six months of 2020 compared to the same period a year ago. As discussed above, this increase is mainly due to incremental depreciation and amortization costs associated with our acquisitions Depreciation and amortization as a percentage of net sales increased to 7.5% in the first six months of 2020 compared to 6.4% in the same period of the prior year due to lower sales in the current year and an increase in expenses.

Table of Contents

We estimate total implementation costs of approximately $125 million, including costs that have been recognized to date. We also anticipate making capital investments related to the business transformation of approximately $50 million, of which $43 million has been incurred 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.

OPERATING INCOME

Operating income decreased approximately $39.4 million to $70.5 million the second quarter of 2020 compared to $109.9 million in the same period a year ago. Excluding changes in foreign currency rates, operating income decreased by approximately $37.5 million in the quarter compared to the same period a year ago. Operating income as a percentage of net sales declined to 10.1% in the second quarter of 2020 compared to 14.8% in the prior year period mainly due to some short-term under-absorption of fixed costs resulting from lower sales related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

For the first six months of 2020, operating income decreased approximately $48.0 million to $158.9 million compared to $207.0 million in the same period of the prior year. Excluding changes in foreign currency rates, operating income decreased by approximately $43.8 million in the first six months of 2020 compared to the same period a year ago. As discussed above, the majority of this decrease occurred during the second quarter of 2020 due to the short-term impact of lower sales related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Operating income as a percentage of net sales decreased to 11.2% in the first six months of 2020 compared to 13.9% for the same period in the prior year.

NET OTHER EXPENSE

Net other expense in the second quarter of 2020 increased $2.0 million to $9.8 million from $7.8 million in the same period of the prior year. Interest income decreased by approximately $0.9 million due to less cash on hand after our acquisition of Fusion at the beginning of the second quarter 2020. Miscellaneous expenses increased by approximately $0.9 million as a result of higher pension costs due to the decline in discount rates in 2020 compared to 2019.

Net other expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased $5.3 million to $20.2 million from $14.9 million in the same period of the prior year. As discussed above, this increase is mainly due to $2.4 million of lower interest income in 2020 as a result of the Fusion acquisition. Miscellaneous expenses increased by approximately $2.8 million in part due to the high costs to hedge certain Latin American and Asian currencies and the higher pension costs mentioned above.

EFFECTIVE TAX RATE

The tax provision for interim periods is determined using the estimated annual effective consolidated tax rate, based on the current estimate of full-year earnings and related estimated full year-taxes, adjusted for the impact of discrete quarterly items. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, was 31.0% and 27.6%. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was favorably impacted by net tax benefits of $2.9 million from discrete events. This consisted of a $9.1 million benefit from the excess tax benefits from employee share-based compensation offset by, among other items, a $6.3 million charge to record a valuation allowance to properly reflect the realization of recorded deferred tax assets.

NET INCOME ATTRIBUTABLE TO APTARGROUP, INC.

We reported net income attributable to AptarGroup of $41.8 million and $97.1 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $73.9 million and $136.9 million for the same periods in the prior year.

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as earnings before net interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, unallocated corporate expenses, restructuring and acquisition-related costs. Adjusted EBITDA margins are calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Reported Net Sales. See the reconciliation of non-U.S. GAAP measures starting on page 35.

Reported net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 decreased 12% to $299.8 million compared to $342.1 million in the second quarter of the prior year. Changes in currency rates negatively impacted net sales by 3% while our acquisition of Fusion positively impacted sales by 4% in the second quarter of 2020. Therefore, core sales decreased 13% in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the same quarter of the prior year. The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted overall core sales during the second quarter of 2020. Core sales of our products to the beauty market decreased 33% as we experienced a significant reduction in orders from customers providing both prestige and masstige beauty products, mainly in the travel retail and standard retail settings. Many beauty stores remained closed throughout much of the quarter in response to government shelter in place regulations and international travel is down significantly leading to a reduction in duty free sales. Personal care core sales improved 11% on increased sales of our products to our personal cleansing customers, mainly for hand sanitizers and liquid soaps which more than offset continued softness in our deodorant, hair care and sun care applications as consumers continued to shelter in place. Core sales to the home care markets decreased 5% as higher demand for our household cleaner products was not enough to offset declines in sales of our products used on laundry care and automotive products.

Core sales decreased by 11% in the first six months of 2020 compared to the same period in the prior year. The COVID-19 pandemic discussed above also impacted the first six months of 2020 as we began to see the effects in our first quarter results. Core sales of our products to the beauty market decreased 23% across all applications, but mainly on lower sales of prestige fragrance products to our customers. Personal care core sales increased 3%, driven by increases in hand sanitation product sales, while home care core sales decreased 5% mainly on lower sales to our laundry care customers.

Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2020 decreased 51% to $24.0 million compared to $48.7 million in the same period in the prior year. As discussed above, the COVID-19 pandemic affected our profitability due to lower sales volumes. Our profitability was further impacted by special bonus payments to certain employees who worked to maintain supply to our customers and keep our facilities running as well as lower overhead absorption due to fluctuations in demand primarily in our facilities that manufacture beauty products.

Adjusted EBITDA in the first six months of 2020 decreased 43% to $58.2 million compared to $101.9 million reported in the same period in the prior year. As discussed above, our profitability during the first half 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 and lower overhead absorption as we continue to manage demand fluctuations in our facilities.

PHARMA SEGMENT

Operations that sell drug delivery, sealing and active packaging solutions primarily to the prescription drug, consumer health care, injectables and active packaging markets form the Pharma segment.

Net sales for the Pharma segment increased 7% in the second quarter of 2020 to $301.3 million compared to $281.9 million in the second quarter of 2019. Changes in currencies negatively affected net sales by 1% while our acquisitions of Gateway, Nanopharm and Noble positively impacted sales by 2% in the second quarter of 2020. Therefore, core sales increased by 6% in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter of 2019. Core sales increased in three of our four markets with only the prescription drug market reporting a decline due to difficult prior year comparisons on tooling and central nervous system application sales. Core sales to the consumer health care market increased 10% on strong demand for our products used on nasal decongestant and cough/cold treatments. Injectables core sales grew 26% on increased demand across all components while active packaging core sales improved 21% due to strong growth in our probiotics, diabetes, and ActivFilm products.

Net sales for the first six months of 2020 increased by 8% to $598.5 million compared to $554.6 million in the first six months of 2019. Changes in currencies negatively affected net sales by 1% while our acquisitions of Noble, Nanopharm and Gateway positively impacted sales by 3% in the first six months of 2020. Therefore, core sales increased by 6% in the first six months of 2020 compared to the same period in the prior year. As discussed above, the prescription drug market core sales decrease of 2% was driven by difficult prior year comparisons on tooling and central nervous system application sales. During 2019, we also benefitted 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% as increased demand for our products used on nasal decongestant and dermal drug delivery treatments more than compensated for some softness in demand for our nasal saline products. Core sales of our products to the injectables and active packaging markets increased 24% and 23% respectively due to strong sales across all applications as discussed above.

Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2020 increased 3% to $104.1 million compared to $101.4 million reported in the same period of the prior year. The strong product sales growth discussed above along with incremental profit related to our acquisitions led to the increase in reported results for the second quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter of 2019. 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 recognized the special bonus payments discussed above which negatively impacted our Adjusted EBITDA during the second quarter of 2020.

Adjusted EBITDA in the first six months of 2020 increased 7% to $212.4 million compared to $198.8 million reported in the same period of the prior year. The increase in sales along with incremental profit related to our acquisitions was able to compensate for lower prescription sales and special bonus payments made as discussed above.

FOOD + BEVERAGE SEGMENT

Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 decreased approximately 17% to $98.3 million compared to $118.6 million in the second quarter of the prior year. Changes in foreign currency rates had an unfavorable impact of 2% on total segment sales. Therefore, core sales decreased by 15% in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter of 2019. This decrease is due to the passing on of lower resin costs to our customers, lower tooling costs and lower beverage closure sales related to the COVID-19 crisis. For the food market, we realized increased sales of our products used on cooking oils and spreads applications. However, this increase was more than offset by lower tooling sales as we recognized several large tooling projects during the second quarter of 2019. Core sales to the beverage market decreased 37% as sales of our single-serve bottled water and on-the-go functional drink products were significantly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Core sales decreased by 9% in the first six months of 2020 compared to the same period in the prior year. The pass-through of lower resin costs and lower tooling sales negatively impacted the first six months of 2020 by $8.6 million and $6.8 million, respectively. Core sales to the food market were flat while core sales to the beverage market decreased 26% in the first six months of 2020 compared to the same period of the prior year. Sales to the food market increased due to strong sales of our products to our spreads and granular/powder non-beverage dairy customers. These increases were offset by lower tooling sales due to strong activity in the prior year period. As discussed above, core sales to the beverage market decreased as sales of our single-serve bottled water and on-the-go functional drink products and tooling sales were significantly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2020 decreased 15% to $17.8 million compared to $20.9 million reported in the same period of the prior year. Lower tooling sales and the COVID-19 impacts on product sales discussed above, along with special bonus payments to certain employees who worked to maintain supply to our customers and keep our facilities running, more than offset the benefits we received from cost containment activities and other operational improvements realized during the second quarter of 2020.

Adjusted EBITDA in the first six months of 2020 decreased 12% to $33.2 million compared to $37.6 million reported in the same period of the prior year. The COVID-19 impact on product sales discussed above, along with lower tooling and special bonus payments, more than offset the benefits we received from lower resin input costs and other operational improvements realized during the first half of 2020.

CORPORATE & OTHER

In addition to our three reporting segments, we assign certain costs to “Corporate & Other,” which is presented separately in Note 16 – Segment Information to the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. For Corporate & Other, Adjusted EBITDA (which excludes net interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, restructuring and acquisition-related costs) primarily includes certain professional fees, compensation and information system costs which are not allocated directly to our reporting segments. For the quarter ended June 30, 2020, Corporate & Other expenses decreased to $9.3 million from $10.6 million in the second quarter of 2019. This decrease is mainly due to lower variable compensation costs which are tied to company performance, lower travel and entertainment costs due to travel restrictions in place, and lower medical costs as we have experienced lower medical claims during the second quarter of 2020 compared to the prior year second quarter.

Corporate & Other expenses in the first six months of 2020 decreased to $23.1 million compared to $23.4 million reported in the same period of the prior year. As discussed above, this decrease is mainly due to lower variable compensation, travel and entertainment and medical costs which more than offset increased costs in professional fees and other personnel costs as we continue to implement our growth strategy.

NON-U.S. GAAP MEASURES

In addition to the information presented herein that conforms to U.S. GAAP, we also present financial information that does not conform to U.S. GAAP, which are referred to as non-U.S. GAAP financial measures. Management may assess our financial results both on a U.S. GAAP basis and on a non-U.S. GAAP basis. We believe it is useful to present these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures because they allow for a better period over period comparison of operating results by removing the impact of items that, in management’s view, do not reflect our core operating performance. These non-U.S. GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for U.S. GAAP financial results, but should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and other information presented herein. Investors are cautioned against placing undue reliance on these non-U.S. GAAP measures. Further, investors are urged to review and consider carefully the adjustments made by management to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure to arrive at these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures.

In our Management’s Discussion and Analysis, we exclude the impact of foreign currency translation when presenting net sales 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.

Table of Contents

We present 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. Our “Outlook” discussion below is also provided on a non-U.S. GAAP basis because certain reconciling items are dependent on future events that either cannot be controlled, such as exchange rates, or reliably predicted because they are not part of our routine activities, such as restructuring 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 and 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 operations 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 strengthening U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies has a dilutive translation effect on our financial statements. Conversely, a weakening U.S. dollar has an additive effect. In some cases, we sell products denominated in a currency different from the currency in which the related costs are incurred. 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. Changes in exchange rates on such inter-country sales could materially impact our results of operations. During the second quarter of 2020 the U.S. dollar strengthened compared to the euro and other currencies in Latin America and Asia. This resulted in a dilutive impact on our translated results during the second quarter of 2020 when compared to the second quarter of 2019.

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 to the significant impact of COVID-19 on our business, our results of operations in a quarterly period could be impacted by factors such as the seasonality of certain products within our segments, changes in foreign currency rates, changes in product mix, changes in material costs, changes in growth rates in the markets to which our products are sold and changes in general economic conditions in any of the countries in which we do business.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Given the diversification of our segments, we believe we are in a strong financial position and have the financial resources to meet our business requirements in the foreseeable future. Our Pharma segment provided strong operating cash flows to balance out the temporary softness in some of our Beauty + Home and Food + Beverage markets during the first half of 2020. Our primary uses of liquidity are to invest in equipment and facilities that are necessary to support our growth, cost efficiencies and to make acquisitions that will contribute to the achievement of our strategic objectives. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, we are focused on preserving our liquidity and therefore we have temporarily suspended repurchasing shares of our common stock and discretionary contributions to our defined benefit plans. However, we intend to continue to pay quarterly dividends to our stockholders, invest 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 increased to $257.4 million at June 30, 2020 from $247.0 million at December 31, 2019. Total short and long-term interest bearing debt of $1.3 billion at June 30, 2020 increased from $1.2 billion at December 31, 2019 resulting from an increase of $125.0 million in net proceeds from our group credit facility during the first half of 2020 the majority of which was utilized to fund the second quarter Fusion acquisition. The ratio of our Net Debt (interest bearing debt less cash and equivalents) to Net Capital (stockholders’ equity plus Net Debt) increased to 39.0% at June 30, 2020 compared to 37.8% at December 31, 2019. See the reconciliation of non-U.S. GAAP measures starting on page 35.

In the first six months of 2020, our operations provided approximately $227.7 million in net cash flow compared to $221.1 million for the same period a year ago. In both periods, cash flow from operations was primarily derived from earnings before depreciation and amortization. The increase in cash provided by operations during the first six months of 2020 is primarily attributable to better working capital management which offset lower net income.

Table of Contents

We used $317.1 million in cash for investing activities during the first six months of 2020 compared to $157.2 million during the same period a year ago. During the first six months of 2020, $158.1 million of cash was utilized to fund the Fusion Acquisition. We invested $28.8 million in our 49% equity interest of BTY and $5.0 million in our 30% equity interest of Sonmol, which are accounted for as equity method investments. Additionally, we released $1.0 million relating to the working capital escrow settlement and paid an additional $463 thousand as a working capital payment related to our acquisition of Noble. Our investment in capital projects decreased $1.8 million during the first six months of 2020 compared to the first six months of 2019, as we have reduced our expenditures amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Our 2020 estimated cash outlays for capital expenditures are expected to be in the range of approximately $230 to $250 million but could vary due to changes in exchange rates as well as the timing of capital projects.

Financing activities provided $91.3 million in cash during the first six months of 2020 compared to $31.8 million in cash used by financing activities during the same period a year ago. During the first six months of 2020, we received net proceeds from our U.S. group credit facility of $125.0 million and stock option exercises of $30.1 million. We used cash on hand to pay $46.1 million of dividends and net repayments of $13.3 million related to our notes payable and overdrafts and $2.8 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 a multi-currency revolving credit facility with two tranches, providing for unsecured financing of up to $300 million that is available in the U.S. and up to €150 million that is available to our wholly-owned UK subsidiary. Each borrowing under the credit facility will bear interest at rates based on LIBOR, prime rates or other similar rates, in each case plus an applicable margin. A facility fee on the total amount of the facility is also payable quarterly, regardless of usage. The applicable margins for borrowings under the credit facility and the facility fee percentage may change from time to time depending on changes in our consolidated leverage ratio. $150.0 million was utilized under our U.S. facility and no balance was utilized under our euro-based revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2020. The $25.0 million balance at December 31, 2019 under our U.S. credit facility was repaid during the first quarter of 2020. Credit facility balances are included in notes payable, including revolving credit facilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Our revolving credit facility and corporate long-term obligations require us to satisfy certain financial and other covenants including:


	Requirement	Level at June 30, 2020
Consolidated Leverage Ratio (1)	Maximum of 3.50 to 1.00	1.98 to 1.00
Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (1)	Minimum of 3.00 to 1.00	15.50 to 1.00

(1)	Definitions of ratios are included as part of the revolving credit facility agreement and the note purchase agreements.

Based upon the above consolidated leverage ratio covenant, we have the ability to borrow approximately an additional $825.8 million before the 3.50 to 1.00 maximum ratio requirement is exceeded.

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 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.

On July 16, 2020, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.36 per share payable on August 19, 2020 to stockholders of record as of July 29, 2020.

CONTINGENCIES

The Company, in the normal course of business, is subject to a number of lawsuits and claims both actual and potential in nature. Please refer to Note 12 - Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of contingencies affecting our business.

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 are effective for 2020 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 is effective upon issuance and can be adopted any time prior to December 31, 2022. We do not anticipate that this new guidance will 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. The new standard is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. As this update adds disclosure requirements, we do not expect that this guidance will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Other accounting standards that have been issued by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

OUTLOOK

Factors that could impact our third quarter results include among other things, economic uncertainty in some of our markets, driven in part by the recent spike in COVID-19 cases in many regions of the world. We expect to see gradual improvement in the second half of the year although this will be heavily dependent on the pace and breadth of the resumption of travel activity, the reopening of retail stores and general consumer spending confidence.

We expect earnings per share for the third quarter of 2020, excluding any restructuring expenses and acquisition-related costs, to be in the range of $0.80 to $0.88 and this guidance is based on an effective tax rate range of 28% to 30%.

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. 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, among 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.

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 June 30, 2020 about our forward currency exchange contracts. The majority of the contracts expire before the end of the third quarter of 2020.


			Average	Min / Max

CAD/EUR		22	0.6532	20-43
Total	$	49,420

As of June 30, 2020, we have recorded the fair value of foreign currency forward exchange contracts of $0.7 million in prepaid and other and $0.1 million in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the balance sheet. We also entered into a EUR/USD floating-to-fixed cross currency swap on July 20, 2017 to effectively hedge the foreign exchange and interest rate exposure on the $280 million bank term loan drawn by our wholly-owned UK subsidiary. The fair value of this cash flow hedge is $3.1 million reported in prepaid and other on the balance sheet.

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 Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2020. 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 June 30, 2020, we implemented enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) systems at two operating facilities. Consequently, the control environments have been modified at these locations to incorporate the controls contained within the new ERP systems. Except for the foregoing, no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during our fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2020 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, we have implemented remote work arrangements and restricted non-essential business travel. These arrangements have not materially affected our ability to maintain our business operations, including the operation of financial reporting systems, internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

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 is currently adversely affecting our business. Additional factors could exacerbate such negative consequences and/or cause other 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 six months ended June 30, 2020 and that adverse impact may continue into the third 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, 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 half 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”). An independent agent purchases shares of common stock available under the Plan for cash on the open market and we do not issue shares. We do not receive any proceeds from the purchase of common stock under the Plan. The agent under the Plan is Banque Nationale de Paris Paribas Fund Services. No underwriters are used under the Plan. All shares are sold in reliance upon the exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 provided by Regulation S promulgated under that Act. During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, the Plan purchased 19,876 shares of our common stock on behalf of the participants at an average price of $104.89, for an aggregate amount of $2.1 million. The Plan sold 11,571 shares of our common stock on behalf of the participants at an average price of $105.62, for an aggregate amount of $1.2 million during the same period. At June 30, 2020, the Plan owned 96,783 shares of our common stock.

ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

On April 18, 2019, we announced a share purchase authorization of up to $350 million of common stock. This authorization 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, we did not repurchase any shares. As of June 30, 2020, there was $278.5 million of authorized share repurchases available to us. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, we are focused on preserving our liquidity and therefore we have temporarily suspended repurchasing shares of our common stock.
