CapyFin.com Forward Guidance
Aptar anticipates a solid finish to a strong year, with top-line growth expected in Q4 despite some customer inventory adjustments. Pharma is expected to finish within its core sales long-term target range, and Closures expects a strong finish with healthy margin improvements. Beauty continues to focus on the bottom line in a tough macro environment.

- Pharma business should finish full year 2024 within its core sales long-term target range of 7-11%.
- Pharma segment will deliver solid, double-digit adjusted EBITDA growth in 2024 due in part to sales of higher value products and royalties.
- Closures segment has returned to growth and we expect a strong finish to 2024, with healthy adjusted EBITDA margin improvements over the prior year.
- Full year adjusted EPS would be in the range of $5.34 to $5.42, a double-digit increase over full year 2023.
Challenges Ahead
- Some customers have indicated seasonal inventory right-sizing in the beauty and cough & cold end markets.
- Beauty is battling a tough macro environment.
- Innovation, cost mitigation, improved operational leverage and accelerating efficiencies remain key priorities for our teams.
