Aptar Pharma’s reported sales increased 7% and core sales increased 3% in the quarter when compared to the prior year period. The segment’s positive results were driven by strong demand in Prescription, Injectables and Active Material Science divisions, while Consumer Healthcare declined. Demand continued for proprietary drug delivery systems used for emergency medicines, as well as asthma, COPD and ophthalmic treatments. Injectables core sales grew 9% due to increased demand for higher value elastomeric components, which are used in a number of end markets including biologics and GLP-1. Active Material Science core sales grew 11%, due to higher demand from active film solutions. Adjusted EBITDA margins grew 130 basis points in the quarter, with royalty revenues helping drive adjusted EBITDA margins to 35.4%.
Aptar Beauty’s reported sales increased 4% and core sales were up 1% compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to higher tooling sales for the personal care and beauty end markets. In the quarter, personal care products continued to show strong growth but could not offset lower demand in beauty dispensing technologies for fragrance and for full pack solutions. The pace of new fragrance launches remained subdued due to tariff-related uncertainties. In China, the beauty market continued to improve, with healthy sales in the quarter for dispensing systems, mainly due to demand from regional customers. Adjusted EBITDA margins increased by 20 basis points, to 14.1%.
Aptar Closures’ reported sales increased 8% from the prior year quarter and core sales increased 7%. The solid product sales growth was mainly driven by increased demand in the food and beverage end markets. The segment experienced growth in almost every region, across a number of applications including sauces, salad dressings and functional drinks. Adjusted EBITDA margins improved to 16.9%, expanding by 130 basis points.
Aptar reported second quarter earnings per share of $1.67 compared to $1.34 reported a year ago. Adjusted earnings per share, excluding restructuring charges, acquisition costs, and the unrealized gains or losses on an equity investment, were $1.66 compared to the prior year period’s adjusted earnings per share of $1.41, including comparable exchange rates. The second quarter effective tax rate was 20.0% compared to the prior year period’s effective tax rate of 23.5%. The lower effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was due to an expected tax benefit as part of the company’s ongoing tax planning, and greater tax benefits from share-based compensation. Actual exchange and effective tax rates for the second quarter were comparable to the guidance provided by the company.
Six Months Year-To-Date Results
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, reported sales increased 2% to $1.85 billion compared to $1.83 billion in the prior year. Core sales also increased 2%.

For the first six months of the year, adjusted earnings per share, excluding restructuring charges, acquisition costs, and the unrealized gains or losses on an equity investment, were $2.86 and increased 8% from prior year adjusted earnings per share of $2.64, including comparable exchange rates. The current year had an effective tax rate of 22.5% compared to the prior year effective tax rate of 22.1%.

Outlook
Regarding Aptar’s outlook, Tanda stated, “Looking ahead to Q3, we expect a solid quarter with continued strength in Pharma, particularly in Injectables, driven by rising demand for higher value elastomeric components fueled by growth in biologics, GLP-1 therapies, and Annex 1 compliance requirements. We anticipate challenges as naloxone sales begin to normalize after a period of rapid growth. Additionally, we expect elevated levels of cough and cold inventory in Europe to persist through the quarter. We anticipate modest Q3 contributions from our Closures and Beauty segments. Across all segments, we remain focused on cost discipline. In the face of external headwinds, our pipeline and industrialized capabilities position us well for sustained growth.”
Aptar currently expects earnings per share for the third quarter of 2025, excluding any restructuring expenses, changes in the fair value of equity investments and acquisition costs, to be in the range of $1.53 to $1.61, which includes approximately 6 to 7 cents of higher legal fees associated with litigating pharma intellectual property rights. This guidance is based on an effective tax rate range of 20.5% to 22.5%, primarily due to a one-time tax benefit, with a comparable adjusted prior year effective tax rate of 23.8%. The earnings per share guidance range is based on current spot rates and a 1.15 Euro to USD exchange rate.
Cash Dividends and Share Repurchases
As previously announced, Aptar’s Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.45 per share. The payment date is August 14, 2025, to stockholders of record as of July 24, 2025. During the second quarter, Aptar repurchased 452 thousand shares for $70 million. Aptar may repurchase shares through the open market, privately negotiated transactions or other programs, subject to market conditions.

Presentation of Non-GAAP Information
This press release refers to certain non-GAAP financial measures, including current year adjusted earnings per share and adjusted EBITDA, which exclude the impact of restructuring initiatives, acquisition-related costs, certain purchase accounting adjustments related to acquisitions and investments and net unrealized investment gains and losses related to observable market price changes on equity securities. Core sales and adjusted earnings per share also neutralize the impact of foreign currency translation effects when comparing current results to the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before net interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, restructuring initiatives, acquisition-related costs, net unrealized investment gains and losses related to observable market price changes on equity securities and other special items. Adjusted EBITDA margin is adjusted EBITDA divided by reported net sales. Non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures provided by other companies. Aptar’s management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to our investors 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 Aptar’s core operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures also provide investors with certain information used by Aptar’s management when making financial and operational decisions. Free cash flow is calculated as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures plus proceeds from government grants related to 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. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financial results but should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and other information presented herein. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is included in the accompanying tables. Our outlook is provided on a non-GAAP basis because certain reconciling items are dependent on future events that either cannot be controlled, such as exchange rates and changes in the fair value of equity investments, or reliably predicted because they are not part of the company's routine activities, such as restructuring and acquisition costs.
