Forward Guidance

Aptar expects Q4 2022 earnings per share to be in the range of $0.73 to $0.83, excluding restructuring expenses, changes in the fair value of equity investments and acquisition costs. This guidance is based on an effective tax rate range of 28% to 30% and a Euro/US$ exchange rate of 0.98.

Challenges Ahead

  • Pharma segment is expected to grow at more normalized levels.
  • Do not expect to repeat last year’s strong sales of active material solutions for at-home COVID-19 test kits.
  • Anticipate the softening in demand in markets such as personal care, food and beverage to continue.
  • Managing the inflationary environment through price initiatives and energy surcharges, as well as controlling expenses.
  • Continue to allocate capital selectively while maintaining our strong balance sheet.
