Aptar Reports First Quarter 2022 Results

AptarGroup, Inc. (NYSE:ATR), a global leader in drug delivery, consumer product dispensing and active material science solutions and services, today reported first quarter results for 2022.

First Quarter 2022 Summary
*Reported sales grew 9% and core sales (excluding currency effects and acquisitions) grew 13% with double-digit core growth in each segment
*Pharma segment posted sales growth in all markets including the prescription drug division as demand for allergic rhinitis and asthma devices began to recover
*Reported earnings per share of $0.93 compared to $1.24 in the prior year; prior year results included an effective tax rate of 17% and an unrealized gain of $17 million related to changes in the fair value of an equity investment
*Adjusted earnings per share of $0.96 compared to $1.05 in the prior year, which included the lower 2021 effective tax rate

For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, reported sales increased 9% to $845 million compared to $777 million in the prior year. Core sales, excluding the impact from changes in currency exchange rates and acquisitions, increased 13%.

Commenting on the first quarter, Stephan B. Tanda, President and CEO, said, “We performed well in the quarter and the strong top line growth across each segment is an indication that we are beginning to turn the corner on the effects of the global pandemic in the Western markets while we continue to monitor the situation in China and the war in Ukraine. Volume improvements and price initiatives to recover rising costs each contributed to the top line growth. In addition to this broad based demand, our results reflect a significant increase in sales of our Activ-Film™ moisture-mitigating technology that enhances the integrity of at-home COVID-19 tests. This further validates our material science expertise though the future demand for at-home COVID-19 test kits appears to be declining. We overcame several headwinds in the quarter including currency headwinds, a net negative price cost recovery position, customary start-up costs related to our capacity expansion for elastomeric components for injected medicines and a reserve against a note receivable. The war in Ukraine and the COVID-19 outbreak in China did not have a significant impact on our business in the quarter.”

SPC Impact 2022: Top 3 Takeaways

Eco-Modulation is one example driving material selection and product design. C) Recycling technology is an undeniable part of the solution. We must work diligently to improve both mechanical and chemical recycling processes.

London start-up TYME Food refreshes its packaging with Mondi’s BCoolBox, driving expansion of its delivery service nationwide

When TymeFood needed higher-performance, more sustainable packaging for extending its reach out of London, it turned to Mondi, a global leader in packaging and paper. The solution, BCoolBox, is now keeping TYME Food’s weekday meals fresh as it delivers them to all corners of the UK. "TYME Food tested several multi-material options before turning to us. After analysing the conundrum with our customer-centric EcoSolutions approach, we proposed a trial of our new BCoolBox packaging system optimised for TYME Food’s needs. BCoolBox’s tough, lightweight corrugated sides and insulation panels keep contents well protected at under 7°C for a minimum of 24 hours during standard shipment. Its all-corrugated, mono-material construction simplifies the supply chain. It’s been great to be able to prove the effectiveness of this product." Nedim Nisic, eCommerce Manager, Mondi Corrugated Solutions. BCoolBox can be thrown into the paper sorting bin, unlike multi-material packaging where the UK does not have the necessary recycling infrastructure. With their core commitment to sustainability, this was a particular concern for TYME Food’s management. “We were looking for an insulation material that would maximise the possibility of it actually being recycled. Mondi’s perforated panel concept is very smart. Paper is a material that customers know how to recycle in the conventional infrastructure in the UK rather than requiring novel education or conditions to do so. So we invited Mondi to test their product for us.” said Joe Cooke, Creative Director, at TYME Food.
