NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1:  Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation: The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regulations. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, these financial statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations, cash flows and the change in equity for the periods presented. The condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries (which may be referred to as “West”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 Annual Report”). The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

Note 2:  New Accounting Standards

Recently Adopted Standards

In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued guidance that seeks to enhance transparency around entities' use of supplier finance programs. The amendment requires the buyer in a supplier finance program to disclose information about the key terms of the program, outstanding confirmed amounts as of the end of the period, a rollforward of such amounts during each annual period, and a description of where in the financial statements outstanding amounts are presented. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. We adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2023, on a prospective basis. The adoption did not have a material impact on our financial statements, as supplier finance programs are not material to the Company as of September 30, 2023.

Note 3:  Revenue

Our revenue results from the sale of goods or services and reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. We record revenue based on a five-step model, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606. Following the identification of a contract with a customer, we identify the performance obligations (goods or services) in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and recognize the revenue when (or as) we satisfy the performance obligations by transferring the promised goods or services to our customers. A good or service is transferred when (or as) the customer obtains control of that good or service.

Deferred income, December 31, 2022$(68.2)
Deferred income, September 30, 2023
(50.0)
Change in deferred income - decrease (increase)$18.2 

Contract assets are included within other current assets and deferred income is included within other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, $33.2 million of revenue was recognized that was included in deferred income at the beginning of the year.

The majority of the performance obligations within our contracts are satisfied within one year or less. Performance obligations satisfied beyond one year include those relating to a nonrefundable customer payment of $20.0 million received in June 2013 in return for the exclusive use of the SmartDose® technology platform within a specific therapeutic area. As of September 30, 2023, there was $2.4 million of deferred income related to this payment, of which $0.9 million was included in other current liabilities and $1.5 million was included in other long-term liabilities. The deferred income is being recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the agreement. The agreement does not include a future minimum purchase commitment from the customer.

Note 4:  Net Income Per Share

The following table reconciles the shares used in the calculation of basic net income per share to those used for diluted net income per share:

In February 2023, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program under which we may repurchase up to $1.0 billion in shares of common stock. The share repurchase program does not have an expiration date under which we may repurchase common stock on the open market or in privately-negotiated transactions. The number of shares to be repurchased and the timing of such transactions will depend on a variety of factors, including market conditions. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we purchased 77,329 shares of our common stock under the program at a cost of $27.8 million, or an average price of $360.25 per share. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we purchased 753,399 shares of our common stock under the program at a cost of $261.3 million, or an average price of $346.86 per share.

In December 2021, we announced a share repurchase program for calendar-year 2022 authorizing the repurchase of up to 650,000 shares of our common stock from time to time on the open market or in privately-negotiated transactions. The number of shares to be repurchased and the timing of such transactions was dependent on a variety of factors, including market conditions. This share repurchase program was completed by December 31, 2022. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we purchased 86,667 shares of our common stock under the calendar-year 2022 program at a cost of $27.2 million, or an average price of $313.22 per share. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we purchased 563,334 shares of our common stock under the calendar-year 2022 program at a cost of $202.9 million, or an average price of $360.03 per share.

Note 6:  Leases

A lease exists when a contract conveys to the customer the right to control the use of identified property, plant, or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The definition of a lease embodies two conditions: 1) there is an identified asset in the contract that is land or a depreciable asset (i.e., property, plant, and equipment); and 2) the customer has the right to control the use of the identified asset. Lease payments included in the measurement of the operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are comprised of fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), variable payments that depend on an index or rate, and the exercise price of a lessee option to purchase the underlying asset if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise.

Note 7:  Affiliated Companies

At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the aggregate carrying amount of our investment in affiliated companies that are accounted for under the equity method was $189.7 million and $197.0 million, respectively, and the aggregate carrying amount of our investment in affiliated companies that are not accounted for under the equity method was $5.7 million and $7.9 million, respectively. We record these investments, for which fair value was not readily determinable, at cost, less impairment, adjusted for subsequent observable price changes. We test these investments for impairment whenever circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the investments may not be recoverable.

Our purchases from, and royalty payments made to, affiliates totaled $34.4 million and $118.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to $33.6 million and $131.2 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2022. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the payable balance due to affiliates was $20.6 million and $31.2 million, respectively. The majority of these transactions related to a distributorship agreement with Daikyo Seiko, Ltd. ("Daikyo") that allows us to purchase and re-sell Daikyo products.



11

Sales to affiliates were $2.5 million and $8.5 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $2.6 million and $10.2 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2022. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the receivable balance due from affiliates was $1.3 million and $2.2 million, respectively.

Credit Facility

At September 30, 2023, the borrowing capacity available under our $500.0 million multi-currency revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”), including outstanding letters of credit of $2.4 million, was $497.6 million.

Term Loan

At September 30, 2023, we had $81.5 million in borrowings under the Term Loan, of which $2.2 million was classified as current and $79.3 million was classified as long-term. Please refer to Note 9, Derivative Financial Instruments, for a discussion of the foreign currency hedge associated with the Term Loan.

Pursuant to the financial covenants in our debt agreements, we are required to maintain established interest coverage ratios and to not exceed established leverage ratios. In addition, the agreements contain other customary covenants, none of which we consider restrictive to our operations. At September 30, 2023, we were in compliance with all of our debt covenants.

Note 9:  Derivative Financial Instruments

Our ongoing business operations expose us to various risks, such as fluctuating interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and increasing commodity prices. To manage these market risks, we periodically enter into derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate swaps, options and foreign exchange contracts for periods consistent with, and for notional amounts equal to or less than, the related underlying exposures. We do not purchase or hold any derivative financial instruments for investment or trading purposes. All derivatives are recorded in our condensed consolidated balance sheet at fair value.

12




Foreign Exchange Rate Risk

We have entered into forward exchange contracts, designated as fair value hedges, to manage our exposure to fluctuating foreign exchange rates on cross-currency intercompany loans. As of both September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the notional amount of these forward exchange contracts was Singapore Dollar (“SGD”) 601.5 million and $13.4 million. We have also entered into forward exchange contracts, designated as fair value hedges, to manage our exposure to fluctuating foreign exchange rates on cross-currency intercompany demand notes which were executed in June 2023. As of September 30, 2023, the total amount of these forward exchange contracts was Euro ("EUR") 278.6 million and SGD 94.0 million.

In addition, we have entered into several foreign currency contracts, designated as cash flow hedges, for periods of up to eighteen months, intended to hedge the currency risk associated with a portion of our forecasted transactions denominated in foreign currencies. As of September 30, 2023, we had outstanding foreign currency contracts to purchase and sell certain pairs of currencies, as follows:

(in millions)Sell
CurrencyPurchaseUSDEuro
EUR20.3 22.3  
Yen5,159.3 29.8 9.0 
SGD44.7 15.2 16.8 

In December 2019, we entered into a cross-currency swap for $90 million, which we designated as a hedge of our net investment in Daikyo. As of September 30, 2023, the notional amount of the cross-currency swap is ¥8.9 billion ($81.5 million) and the swap termination date is December 31, 2024. Under the cross-currency swap, we receive floating interest rate payments based on USD compounded SOFR plus a margin, in return for paying floating interest rate payments based on Japanese Yen (“Yen”) Tokyo Overnight Average Rate ("TONAR") plus a margin. In addition, we receive periodic fixed principal payments of USD in return for paying fixed principal payments of Yen.

Commodity Price Risk

Many of our proprietary products are made from synthetic elastomers, which are derived from the petroleum refining process. We purchase the majority of our elastomers via long-term supply contracts, some of which contain clauses that provide for surcharges related to fluctuations in crude oil prices. The following economic hedges did not qualify for hedge accounting treatment since they did not meet the highly effective requirement at inception.

From November 2017 through September 2023, we purchased several series of call options for a total of 975,206 barrels of crude oil to mitigate our exposure to such oil-based surcharges and protect operating cash flows with regard to a portion of our forecasted elastomer purchases.

As of September 30, 2023, we had outstanding contracts to purchase 229,397 barrels of crude oil from September 2023 to March 2025, at a weighted-average strike price of $94.93 per barrel.

Effects of Derivative Instruments on Financial Position and Results of Operations

Note 10:  Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The following fair value hierarchy classifies the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into one of three levels:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

The following tables present the assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis:

Deferred compensation assets are included within other noncurrent assets and are valued using a market approach based on quoted market prices in an active market. The fair value of our foreign currency contracts, included within other current and other noncurrent assets, as well as other current and other long-term liabilities, is valued using an income approach based on quoted forward foreign exchange rates and spot rates at the reporting date. The fair value of the cross-currency swap, included within other noncurrent assets, is valued using a market approach. Please refer to Note 9, Derivative Financial Instruments, for further discussion of our derivatives. The fair value of our commodity call options, included within other current and other noncurrent assets, is valued using a market approach. The fair value of the contingent consideration liability, within current and long-term liabilities, related to the SmartDose® technology platform (the “SmartDose® contingent consideration”) was initially determined using a probability-weighted income approach, and is revalued at each reporting date or more frequently if circumstances dictate. Changes in the fair value of this obligation are recorded as income or expense within other expense (income) in our condensed consolidated statements of income. The fair value of deferred compensation liabilities is based on quoted prices of the underlying employees’ investment selections and is included within other long-term liabilities.

Other Financial Instruments

We believe that the carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable approximate their fair values due to their near-term maturities.

The estimated fair value of long-term debt is based on quoted market prices for debt issuances with similar terms and maturities and is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. At September 30, 2023, the estimated fair value of long-term debt was $147.2 million compared to a carrying amount of $152.1 million. At December 31, 2022, the estimated fair value of long-term debt was $201.8 million and the carrying amount was $206.7 million.

Note 13:  Stock-Based Compensation

The West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. 2016 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2016 Plan”) provides for the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards and performance awards to employees and non-employee directors. A committee of the Board of Directors determines the terms and conditions of awards to be granted. Vesting requirements vary by award. At September 30, 2023, there were 1,438,454 shares remaining in the 2016 Plan for future grants.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we granted 105,640 stock options at a weighted average exercise price of $306.92 per share based on the grant-date fair value of our stock to employees under the 2016 Plan. The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted was $108.88 per share as determined by the Black-Scholes option valuation model using the following weighted average assumptions: a risk-free interest rate of 4.1%; expected life of 5.7 years based on prior experience; stock volatility of 29.8% based on historical data; and a dividend yield of 0.3%. Stock option expense is recognized over the vesting period, net of forfeitures.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we granted 37,536 stock-settled performance share unit (“PSU”) awards at a weighted average grant-date fair value of $306.91 per share to eligible employees. These awards are earned based on the Company’s performance against pre-established targets, including annual growth rate of revenue and return on invested capital, over a specified performance period. Depending on the achievement of the targets, recipients of stock-settled PSU awards are entitled to receive a certain number of shares of common stock. Shares earned under PSU awards may vary from 0% to 200% of an employee’s targeted award. The fair value of stock-settled PSU awards is based on the market price of our stock at the grant date and is recognized as expense over the performance period, adjusted for estimated target outcomes and net of forfeitures.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we granted 4,563 stock-settled restricted share unit (“RSU”) awards at a weighted average grant-date fair value of $310.56 per share to eligible employees. These awards are earned over a specified performance period. The fair value of stock-settled RSU awards is based on the market price of our stock at the grant date and is recognized as expense over the vesting period, net of forfeitures.

Stock-based compensation expense was $5.9 million and $21.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, stock-based compensation expense was $6.0 million and $17.0 million, respectively.

During 2021, the Company approved the termination of our U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan (the "U.S. pension plan"). Prior to the third quarter of 2022, a Notice of Intent to Terminate was sent to all interested parties and a favorable determination letter was received from the Internal Revenue Service. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, lump sum payments were offered to all current employees and former employees with vested benefits under the U.S. pension plan. A cash contribution of $6.5 million was then made by the Company to ensure the U.S. pension plan was fully funded in preparation for the group annuity contract purchase which was executed in August of 2022 to settle the outstanding benefit obligations. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded $49.6 million and $50.8 million in pension settlement charges, respectively, within other nonoperating (income) expense, which for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 relieved the historical balance sheet position, inclusive of accumulated other comprehensive income, of the U.S. pension plan.

Loss on Disposal of Plant

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded expense of $11.6 million, respectively, within other expense (income), as a result of the sale of one of the Company’s manufacturing facilities within the Proprietary Products segment. The transaction closed during the second quarter of 2023.

Restructuring and Related Charges

In December 2022, the Company approved a restructuring plan to adjust our operating cost base to better respond to the macroeconomic factors influencing our business. These changes are expected to be implemented over a period of up to twenty-four months from the date of approval. The plan is expected to require restructuring and related charges of approximately $25 million to $27 million, with annualized savings in the range of $22 million to $24 million. The following table presents activity related to our restructuring obligations related to our 2022 restructuring plan:

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded a gain of $0.5 million and a loss of $0.5 million, respectively, related to oil hedges. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded a loss of $1.5 million and a gain of $1.6 million, respectively, related to oil hedges. Please refer to Note 9, Derivative Financial Instruments, for further discussion of our hedging activity.

Note 16:  Income Taxes

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 before taxes, adjusted for the impact of discrete quarterly items.

The provision for income taxes was $29.4 million and $20.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and the effective tax rate was 15.7% and 15.0%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily due to a tax benefit of $20.0 million related to the termination of the U.S. pension plan recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2022 that was not repeated in the same period in 2023. This was offset by an increase in the tax benefit related to stock-based compensation in the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022.

The provision for income taxes was $87.8 million and $85.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and the effective tax rate was 16.6% and 15.6%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily due to a tax benefit of $20.3 million related to the termination of the U.S. pension plan recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and a $5.9 million tax benefit recorded as the result of a state tax valuation allowance reversal in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 that were not repeated in the same period in 2023. This was offset by an increase in the tax benefit related to stock-based compensation in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022.

Note 17:  Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, we are involved in product liability matters and other legal proceedings and claims generally incidental to our normal business activities. We accrue for loss contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. While the outcome of current proceedings cannot be accurately predicted, we believe their ultimate resolution should not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

There have been no significant changes to the commitments and contingencies included in our 2022 Annual Report.

Note 18:  Segment Information

Our business operations are organized into two reportable segments, Proprietary Products and Contract-Manufactured Products. Our Proprietary Products reportable segment offers proprietary packaging, containment solutions and drug delivery products, along with analytical lab services and other integrated services and solutions, primarily to biologic, generic and pharmaceutical drug customers. Our Contract-Manufactured Products reportable segment serves as a fully integrated business, focused on the design, manufacture, and automated assembly of complex devices, primarily for pharmaceutical, diagnostic, and medical device customers.

The Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") evaluates the performance of our segments based upon, among other things, segment net sales and operating profit. Segment operating profit excludes general corporate costs, which include executive and director compensation, stock-based compensation, certain pension and other retirement benefit costs, and other corporate facilities and administrative expenses not allocated to the segments. Also excluded are items that the CODM considers not representative of ongoing operations. Such items are referred to as other unallocated items and generally include restructuring and related charges, certain asset impairments and other specifically-identified income or expense items. The segment operating profit metric is what the CODM uses in evaluating our results of operations and the financial measure that provides a valuable insight into our overall performance and financial position.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

The following discussion is intended to further the reader’s understanding of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of our Company. It should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”) as well as Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our 2022 Annual Report. Our historical financial statements may not be indicative of our future performance. This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains a number of forward-looking statements, all of which are based on our current expectations and could be affected by the uncertainties and risks discussed in Part I, Item 1A of our 2022 Annual Report and in Part II, Item 1A of this Form 10-Q.

Throughout this section, references to “Notes” refer to the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, unless otherwise indicated.

Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures

For the purpose of aiding the comparison of our year-over-year results, we may refer to net sales and other financial results excluding the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Organic net sales exclude the impact from acquisitions and/or divestitures and translate the current-period reported sales of subsidiaries whose functional currency is other than USD at the applicable foreign exchange rates in effect during the comparable prior-year period. We may also refer to adjusted consolidated operating profit and adjusted consolidated operating profit margin, which exclude the effects of unallocated items. The unallocated items are not representative of ongoing operations, and generally include restructuring and related charges, certain asset impairments, and other specifically-identified income or expense items. The re-measured results excluding effects from currency translation, the impact from acquisitions and/or divestitures, and excluding the effects of unallocated items are not in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") and should not be used as a substitute for the comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures. The non-U.S. GAAP financial measures are incorporated in our discussion and analysis as management uses them in evaluating our results of operations and believes that this information provides users with a valuable insight into our overall performance and financial position.

Our Operations

We are a leading global manufacturer in the design and production of technologically advanced, high-quality, integrated containment and delivery systems for injectable drugs and healthcare products. Our products include a variety of primary proprietary packaging, containment solutions, reconstitution and transfer systems, and drug delivery systems, as well as contract manufacturing, analytical lab services and integrated solutions. Our customers include leading biologic, generic, pharmaceutical, diagnostic, and medical device companies around the world. Our top priority is delivering quality products that meet the exact product specifications and quality standards customers require and expect. This focus on quality includes a commitment to excellence in manufacturing, scientific and technical expertise and management, which enables us to partner with our customers in order to deliver safe, effective drug products to patients quickly and efficiently.

Our business operations are organized into two global segments, Proprietary Products and Contract-Manufactured Products. Our Proprietary Products reportable segment offers proprietary packaging, containment solutions and drug delivery systems, along with analytical lab services and other integrated services and solutions, primarily to biologic, generic and pharmaceutical drug customers. Our Contract-Manufactured Products reportable segment serves as a fully integrated business, focused on the design, manufacture, and automated assembly of complex devices, primarily for pharmaceutical, diagnostic, and medical device customers. We also maintain collaborations to share technologies and market products with affiliates in Japan and Mexico.

Macroeconomic Factors

Through the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the war between Russia and Ukraine has not had a material impact on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations as we do not have manufacturing operations or significant commercial relationships in either country. However, the continuation of the Russia-Ukraine military conflict and/or an escalation of the conflict beyond its current scope may further weaken the global economy and could result in additional inflationary pressures and supply chain constraints, including the unavailability and cost of energy.

We have operations based in Israel that conduct research and development activities and manufacture certain components for our devices. Our Israel-based facilities continue to substantially operate as they had prior to the conflict in Israel and surrounding area. We will continue to monitor the impact of the conflict in Israel and surrounding areas on our operations and those of our suppliers, the possible expansion of such conflict and potential geopolitical consequences, if any, on our business and operations.



27

Due to the uncertainty that exists relative to the duration and overall impact of the macroeconomic factors discussed above, our future operating performance, particularly in the short-term, may be subject to volatility. The impacts of macroeconomic conditions on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows are dependent on certain factors, including those discussed in Item 1A. Risk Factors and the risk factors described in Part I, Item 1A of our 2022 Annual Report.

Segment operating profit excludes general corporate costs, which include executive and director compensation, stock-based compensation, certain pension and other retirement benefit costs, and other corporate facilities and administrative expenses not allocated to the segments. Also excluded are items that we consider not representative of ongoing operations. Such items are referred to as other unallocated items for which further information can be found above in the reconciliation from U.S. GAAP to non-U.S. GAAP financial measures.

Percentages in the following tables and throughout the Results of Operations section may reflect rounding adjustments.

Interest income increased by $7.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022, and $16.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022, resulting from higher interest rates compared to the prior year, primarily within the U.S., Europe and South America.

Other Nonoperating (Income) Expense

Other nonoperating (income) expense changed by $53.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to the recording of a $49.6 million pension settlement charge during the three months ended September 30, 2022, which relieved the historical balance sheet position, inclusive of accumulated other comprehensive income, of the U.S. pension plan, while no such amounts were recorded in the same period in 2023. Additionally, the Company recorded a benefit of $3.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023 as a result of a favorable legal settlement related to a matter not included in our normal operations. This did not occur in the same period in 2022.

Other nonoperating (income) expense changed by $53.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to the recording of a $50.8 million pension settlement charge during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, which relieved the historical balance sheet position, inclusive of accumulated other comprehensive income, of the U.S. pension plan, while no such amounts were recorded in the same period in 2023. Additionally, the Company recorded a benefit of $3.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as a result of a favorable legal settlement related to a matter not included in our normal operations.

Please refer to Note 14, Benefit Plans, for further discussion of these items.

Income Tax Expense

The provision for income taxes was $29.4 million and $20.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and the effective tax rate was 15.7% and 15.0%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily due to a tax benefit of $20.0 million related to the termination of the U.S. pension plan recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2022 that was not repeated in the same period in 2023. This was offset by an increase in the tax benefit related to stock-based compensation in the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022.

37

The provision for income taxes was $87.8 million and $85.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and the effective tax rate was 16.6% and 15.6%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily due to a tax benefit of $20.3 million related to the termination of the U.S. pension plan recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and a $5.9 million tax benefit recorded as the result of a state tax valuation allowance reversal in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 that were not repeated in the same period in 2023. This was offset by an increase in the tax benefit related to stock-based compensation in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022.

Equity in Net Income of Affiliated Companies

Equity in net income of affiliated companies decreased by $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022, due to less favorable operating results at the Mexico affiliates.

Equity in net income of affiliated companies decreased by $3.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022, due to less favorable operating results at Daikyo and the Mexico affiliates.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flows

The following table presents cash flow data for the nine months ended September 30:
($ in millions)20232022
Net cash provided by operating activities$537.4 $493.2 
Net cash used in investing activities$(259.9)$(193.4)
Net cash used in financing activities$(270.1)$(284.1)

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities – Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $44.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to favorable working capital management in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022. This was offset by a decline in operating results.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities – Net cash used in investing activities increased by $66.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022, due to an increase in capital expenditures for additional manufacturing capacity in 2023 to meet customer demand.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities – Net cash used in financing activities decreased by $14.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to reduced debt repayments and increased proceeds from stock-based compensation awards in 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022. This was offset by increases in purchases under our share repurchase program in 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The table below presents selected liquidity and capital measures:
($ in millions)September 30,
2023
December 31,
2022
Cash and cash equivalents$898.6 $894.3 
Accounts receivable, net$519.1 $507.4 
Inventories$431.8 $414.8 
Accounts payable$219.8 $215.4 
Debt$207.3 $208.9 
Equity$2,868.2 $2,684.9 
Working capital$1,438.8 $1,400.5 

Cash and cash equivalents include all instruments that have maturities of ninety days or less when purchased. Working capital is defined as current assets less current liabilities.

Cash and cash equivalents – Our cash and cash equivalents balance at September 30, 2023 consisted of cash held in depository accounts with banks around the world and cash invested in high-quality, short-term investments. The cash and cash equivalents balance at September 30, 2023 included $428.6 million of cash held by subsidiaries within the U.S., and $470.0 million of cash held by subsidiaries outside of the U.S. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we purchased 753,399 shares of our common stock under the share repurchase program at a cost of $261.3 million, or an average price of $346.86 per share.

Working capital – Working capital at September 30, 2023 increased by $38.3 million, or 2.7%, as compared to December 31, 2022, which includes an unfavorable foreign currency translation impact of $15.8 million. Excluding the impact of currency exchange rates, cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventories and total current liabilities increased by $7.4 million, $14.1 million, $21.0 million and $20.4 million, respectively. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was due to cash collections driven by positive operating results, offset by capital expenditures and share repurchases. The increase in accounts receivable was due to increased sales activity during the period. The increase in inventories that occurred in the period was to ensure we have sufficient inventory on hand to support the needs of our customers. The increase in total current liabilities was driven primarily by a portion of long-term debt moving to current based on the stated maturity during the period, offset by a decrease in other current liabilities due to declines in deferred income and dividends payable.

Debt and credit facilities – The $1.6 million decrease in total debt at September 30, 2023, as compared to December 31, 2022, resulted primarily from debt repayments under our Term Loan.

Our sources of liquidity include our Credit Facility. At September 30, 2023, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility. At September 30, 2023, the borrowing capacity available under the Credit Facility, including outstanding letters of credit of $2.4 million, was $497.6 million. We do not expect any significant limitations on our ability to access this source of funds.

Pursuant to the financial covenants in our debt agreements, we are required to maintain established interest coverage ratios and not to exceed established leverage ratios. In addition, the agreements contain other customary covenants, none of which we consider restrictive to our operations. At September 30, 2023, we were in compliance with all of our debt covenants.

We believe that cash on hand and cash generated from operations, together with availability under our Credit Facility, will be adequate to address our foreseeable liquidity needs based on our current expectations of our business operations, capital expenditures and scheduled payments of debt obligations.

39

Commitments and Contractual Obligations

A summary of future material cash payments resulting from commitments and contractual obligations was provided in our 2022 Annual Report. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, there were no material changes outside of the ordinary course of business to our commitments and contractual obligations.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

At September 30, 2023, we had no off-balance sheet financing arrangements other than unconditional purchase obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business and outstanding letters of credit related to various insurance programs, as noted in our 2022 Annual Report.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Our disclosure and analysis in this Form 10-Q contains some forward-looking statements that are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions, current expectations, estimates and forecasts. We also provide forward-looking statements in other materials we release to the public, as well as oral forward-looking statements. Such statements provide our current expectations or forecasts of future events. They do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. We have attempted, wherever possible, to identify forward-looking statements by using words such as “plan,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue” and other words of similar meaning in conjunction with, among other things, discussions of future operations and financial performance, as well as our strategy for growth, product development, market position and expenditures. All statements that address operating performance or events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future - including statements relating to sales and earnings per share growth, cash flows or uses, and statements expressing views about future operating results - are forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations of future events. The forward-looking statements are, and will be, based on management’s then-current views and assumptions regarding future events and operating performance, and speak only as of their dates. Investors should realize that, if underlying assumptions prove inaccurate or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, actual results could vary materially from our expectations and projections. Investors are therefore cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.

The following are some important factors that could cause our actual results to differ from our expectations in any forward-looking statements:
sales demand and our ability to meet that demand;
competition from other providers in our businesses, including customers’ in-house operations, and from lower-cost producers in emerging markets, which can impact unit volume, price and profitability;
customers’ changing inventory requirements and manufacturing plans that alter existing orders or ordering patterns for the products we supply to them;
interruptions or weaknesses in our supply chain, including from reasons beyond our control such as extreme weather, longer-term climate changes, natural disasters, pandemic, war, accidental damage, or
40

unauthorized access to our or our customers’ information and systems, which could cause delivery delays or restrict the availability of raw materials, key purchased components and finished products;
the timing, regulatory approval and commercial success of customer products that incorporate our products and systems;
whether customers agree to incorporate our products and delivery systems with their new and existing drug products, the ultimate timing and successful commercialization of those products and systems, which involves substantial evaluations of the functional, operational, clinical and economic viability of our products, and the rate, timing and success of regulatory approval for the drug products that incorporate our components and systems;
the timely and adequate availability of filling capacity, which is essential to conducting definitive stability trials and the timing of first commercialization of customers’ products in Crystal Zenith prefilled syringes;
profitability, or mix, of the products sold in any reporting period, including lower-than-expected sales growth of our high-value proprietary product offerings;
maintaining or improving production efficiencies and overhead absorption;
dependence on third-party suppliers and partners, some of which are single-source suppliers of critical materials and products, including our Japanese partner and affiliate, Daikyo;
the loss of key personnel or highly-skilled employees;
the availability and cost of skilled employees required to meet increased production, managerial, research and other needs, including professional employees and persons employed under collective bargaining agreements;
the successful and timely implementation of price increases necessary to offset rising production costs, including raw material prices, particularly petroleum-based raw materials;
the cost and progress of development, regulatory approval and marketing of new products;
our ability to obtain and maintain licenses in any jurisdiction in which we do business;
the relative strength of USD in relation to other currencies, particularly the Euro, SGD, the Danish Krone, Yen, Colombian Peso, Brazilian Real, and the South Korean Won; and
the potential adverse effects of global healthcare legislation on customer demand, product pricing and profitability.

This list sets forth many, but not all, of the factors that could affect our ability to achieve results described in any forward-looking statements. Investors should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all of the factors and should not consider this list to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. For further discussion of these and other factors, see the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our 2022 Annual Report as well as Part II, section 1A of this quarterly report.

Except as required by law or regulation, we undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no material changes in our exposure to market risk or the information provided in Part II, Item 7A of our 2022 Annual Report.

41

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure controls are controls and procedures designed to reasonably ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this quarterly report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of September 30, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Changes in Internal Controls
During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, there have been no changes to our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

None.

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS

We are providing the disclosure below and supplementing the risk factors described in Part I, Item 1A of our 2022 Annual Report with the following risk factor. The additional risk factor identified should be read in conjunction with the risk factors described in the 2022 Annual Report and the information under the "Forward Looking Statements" in the 2022 Annual Report.

Unstable market and economic conditions and adverse developments with respect to financial institutions and associated liquidity risk may have serious adverse consequences on our business and financial condition.

The recent and potential future disruptions in access to bank deposits or lending commitments due to bank failure could materially and adversely affect our liquidity, our business and financial condition. Even with our continued effort to mitigate counterparty risk by working with highly liquid, well capitalized counterparties, the failure of any bank in which we deposit our funds could reduce the amount of cash we have available for our operations or delay our ability to access such funds. Any such failure may increase the possibility of a sustained deterioration of financial market liquidity, or illiquidity at clearing, cash management and/or custodial financial institutions. In the event we have a commercial relationship with a bank that has failed or is otherwise distressed, we may experience delays or other issues in meeting our financial obligations. If other banks and financial institutions enter receivership or become insolvent in the future in response to financial conditions affecting the banking system and financial markets, our ability to access our cash and cash equivalents and investments may be threatened and could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

The share repurchase program does not have an expiration date under which we may repurchase common stock on the open market or in privately-negotiated transactions. The number of shares to be repurchased and the timing of such transactions will depend on a variety of factors, including market conditions.

The presiding officer shall be the Chair of the Board or, in the case of vacancy of office or absence of the Chair of the Board, the presiding officer shall be designated by the Board of Directors. Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors prior to the meeting, the presiding officer shall, except as otherwise required by applicable law (including Section 1765 of the PBCL), determine the order of business and shall have the authority to establish rules for the conduct of the meeting and to regulate the conduct of the meeting, including, without limitation, by: (1) imposing restrictions on the persons (other than shareholders of the Company or their duly appointed proxy holders) that may attend the meeting; (2) ascertaining whether any shareholder or his or her proxy holder may be excluded from the meeting based upon any determination by the presiding officer, in his or her sole discretion, that any such person has disrupted the proceedings thereat; (3) determining the circumstances in which any person may make a statement or ask questions at the meeting; (4) ruling on all procedural questions that may arise during or in connection with the meeting; (5) determining whether any nomination or business proposed to be brought before the meeting has been



properly brought before the meeting; and (6) determining the time or times at which the polls for voting at the meeting will be opened and closed. The presiding officer shall announce at the meeting when the polls close for each matter voted upon. If no announcement is made, the polls shall be deemed to have closed upon the final adjournment of the meeting. After the polls close, no ballots, proxies or votes, nor any revocations or changes thereto, may be accepted. Any regular or special meeting of the shareholders, including one at which directors are to be elected, may be adjourned for such period or periods as the presiding officer shall direct. If the presiding officer for a meeting of shareholders that is to be held exclusively by means of electronic technology decides in his or her reasonable judgment on the day of the meeting that the meeting cannot be convened because of a reason outside the control of the Company, the presiding officer may postpone the meeting to a specified time later that day or the following day. Notice of the postponed meeting may be given by means solely of a publicly available filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
(e)Attendance by Electronic Means. A shareholder or a shareholder’s proxy’s presence or participation, including voting and taking other action, at a meeting of shareholders or the expression of consent or dissent to corporate action by a shareholder or a shareholder’s proxy by telephone or other electronic means, including, without limitation, the internet, shall constitute the presence of, or vote or action by, or consent or dissent of the shareholder or a shareholder’s proxy for all purposes.
Section 2.Notice.
(a)Valid Notice. Written notice of the date, time and place, if any, of all meetings of shareholders and of the purpose of each special meeting of shareholders shall be given to each shareholder of record entitled to vote thereat at least five days before the date of the meeting, unless a greater period of notice is required by applicable law in a particular case. Such notice may be given to the shareholder by either of the following methods:
(1) by first class or express mail, postage prepaid, or courier service, charges prepaid, to the postal address of the person appearing on the books of the Company, which notice shall be deemed to have been given to the shareholder when deposited in the United States mail or with a courier service for delivery to that person; or
(2) by facsimile transmission, e-mail or other electronic communication to the facsimile number or address for e-mail or other electronic communications supplied by the person to the Company for the purpose of notice, which notice shall be deemed to have been given to the person entitled thereto when sent.
If the Company has given a shareholder notice of the internet availability of proxy materials in a manner conforming with the rules of the SEC, the Company may give notice of the meeting to the shareholder by posting the notice on the internet website to which the proxy materials are posted.
(b)Waivers of Notice. No notice of any meeting of shareholders need be given to any shareholder entitled to notice who files an executed waiver of notice in record form with the Secretary of the Company, whether before or after the meeting. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any meeting of the shareholders need be specified in a
2


waiver of notice. The attendance of any shareholder at a meeting of shareholders shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the shareholder attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.
(c)Notice of Adjournment. When a meeting of shareholders is adjourned, it shall not be necessary to give any notice of the adjourned meeting or of the business to be transacted at an adjourned meeting, other than by announcement at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken, unless the Board of Directors fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting or required by applicable law.
Section 3.Voting.
(a)Votes. Except as otherwise provided in these Bylaws, in the Articles of Incorporation, or by applicable law, every shareholder shall have the right at every shareholders’ meeting to one vote for every share standing in his name on the books of the Company which is entitled to vote at such meeting. Every shareholder may vote either in person or by proxy. No shareholder shall be entitled to be present or participate, including voting and taking other action, in any meeting of shareholders by means of conference telephone or other electronic technology, unless provided by action of the Board of Directors.
(b)Proxies. Every shareholder entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action without a meeting may authorize another person to act for him or her by proxy. Every proxy will be executed or authenticated in a manner permitted by Section 1759 of the PBCL (or any successor provision). Unless a proxy is a proxy coupled with an interest (as defined for purposes of Section 1759 of the PBCL (or any successor provision), a proxy shall be revocable at will notwithstanding any other agreement or any provision in the proxy to the contrary, but the revocation of a proxy shall not be effective until notice thereof has been given to the Secretary of the Company or its designated agent in writing or by electronic transmission. An unrevoked proxy shall not be valid after three years from the date of its execution, authentication or transmission unless a longer time is expressly provided therein. A proxy shall not be revoked by the death or incapacity of the maker unless, before the vote is counted or the authority is exercised, notice in record form of the death or incapacity is given to the Secretary of the Company or its designated agent. A shareholder may revoke any proxy which is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by filing an instrument in writing revoking the proxy or by filing another duly executed proxy bearing a later date with the Secretary of the Company.
(c)Proxy Card. Any shareholder directly or indirectly soliciting proxies from other shareholders must use a proxy card color other than white, which shall be reserved for the exclusive use of the Board of Directors.
(d)Voting List. The Company shall make a complete list of the shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders, arranged in alphabetical order, with the address of and the number of shares held by each. The Company shall not be required to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information of the shareholders on such list. The list shall be produced and kept open at the date, time and place, if any, of the meeting and shall be subject to the inspection of any shareholder during the whole time of the meeting for the purposes thereof except that the Company shall not be required to produce the list at a meeting of
3


shareholders for which a judge or judges of election are appointed but instead shall furnish the list to the judge or judges of election. Failure to comply with the requirements of this section shall not affect the validity of any action taken at a meeting prior to a demand at the meeting by any shareholder entitled to vote thereat to examine the list. The original share register, or a duplicate thereof kept in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, shall be prima facie evidence as to who are the shareholders entitled to examine the list or share register or to vote at any meeting of shareholders. If a meeting of shareholders is not held at a place, the Company shall make the list of shareholders available in a reasonably accessible manner.
Section 4.Quorum and Required Vote. Except as otherwise provided in these Bylaws, in the Articles of Incorporation, or by applicable law, the presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of stock of the Company entitled to vote at a meeting shall constitute a quorum. If a quorum is not present, no business shall be transacted except to adjourn to a future time. In all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of the majority of shares [present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the shareholders]. Subject to the Articles of Incorporation, at each meeting of the shareholders for the election of directors at which a quorum is present, the persons receiving a majority of the votes cast at such election shall be elected; provided, however, that at any meeting of the shareholders for which the Secretary of the Company determines that the number of nominees for director exceeds the number of directors to be elected, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares represented in person or represented by proxy at such meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. For purposes of this Section 4, a majority of the votes cast means that the number of shares voted “for” a director must exceed the number of votes cast “against” that director. Votes cast shall include votes “for” and “against” a nominee but shall exclude “abstentions” and “broker non-votes” with respect to that nominee’s election. If a director is not elected, the director shall tender his or her resignation to the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors will publicly disclose its decision with respect to whether to accept or reject the resignation, or whether other action should be taken, and the rationale behind such decision within ninety (90) days from the date of the certification of the election results.
Section 5.Nomination of Directors.
(a)Notice Required. Nominations for election of directors at a meeting of shareholders may be made only (1) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, (2) at an annual meeting or at a special meeting where the Board of Directors has determined that directors shall be elected at such meeting in accordance with Section 1(b) of Article I by a shareholder of record who (A) has complied with all applicable requirements of this Section 5 and Section 7 of Article I in relation to such nomination, (B) was a shareholder of record at the time of the giving of notice required by this Section 5, on the record date(s) for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting and is a shareholder of record at the time of the meeting, (C) is entitled to vote at the meeting and is present in person (as defined below) at such meeting and (D) has nominated a number of nominees that does not exceed the number of directors that will be elected at such meeting or (3) by a shareholder or group of shareholders of record in compliance with Section 8 of Article I. This Section 5, Section 7 and Section 8 of Article I of these Bylaws shall be the exclusive means for a shareholder to make nominations before a meeting of shareholders. If a shareholder is not present in person to present its nomination, such nomination shall be disregarded (notwithstanding that proxies or votes in respect of such proposal may have been solicited, obtained or delivered). For the avoidance of
4


doubt, a shareholder is not entitled to have its nomination included in the Company proxy materials solely as a result of such shareholder’s compliance with the provisions of this Section 5, except to the extent required by applicable law if such nominees are submitted in accordance and in compliance with Rule 14a-19 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act”), and any other requirements of applicable state and federal law. For nominations to be properly brought before a meeting by a shareholder pursuant to this Section 5(a) such nominations must be made by such a shareholder by timely notice in proper written form (the “Nomination Notice”) of the shareholder’s intent to nominate a director at the meeting.
(b)Timely Notice; Proper Written Form.

In no event shall the recess, adjournment or postponement of a meeting (or public disclosure thereof) commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a Nomination Notice as described above. For the avoidance of doubt, a shareholder shall not be entitled to make additional or substitute nominations following the expiration of the time periods set forth in this Section 5(b)(1).
(2)To be in proper form, the Nomination Notice shall be in writing and shall contain or be accompanied by:

6


derivatives trade or position of such shareholder arising in the ordinary course of such shareholder’s business as a derivatives dealer, (iii) any proxy, contract, arrangement, understanding, or relationship pursuant to which any Proposing Person has a right to vote any shares of any security of the Company or which has the effect of increasing or decreasing the voting power of such person, (iv) any contract, agreement, arrangement, understanding or relationship, including any repurchase or similar so-called “stock borrowing” agreement or arrangement, including, without limitation, any short position or any borrowing or lending of shares of stock, the purpose or effect of which is to mitigate loss, reduce economic risk (of ownership or otherwise) or increase or decrease voting power with respect to any capital stock of the Company or which provides any party, directly or indirectly, the opportunity to profit or share in any profit derived from any decrease in the price or value of the capital stock of the Company, including, without limitation, any “put equivalent position” (as such term is defined in Rule 16a-1(h) under the Exchange Act) related to any shares of any class or series of shares of the Company (any of the foregoing, a ”Short Interest”), (v) any rights to dividends on the Company’s securities owned, directly or indirectly, beneficially or of record by such Proposing Person that are separated or separable from the underlying securities of the Company, (vi) any proportionate interest in the Company’s securities or Derivative Instruments held, directly or indirectly, by a general or limited partnership in which such Proposing Person is a general partner or, directly or indirectly, beneficially owns an interest in a general partner, (vii) any performance-related fees (other than an asset-based fee) that such Proposing Person may be entitled to based on any increase or decrease in the value of the Company’s securities, Derivative Instruments or Short Interests, if any, as of the date of such notice, including without limitation any such interests held by members of such Proposing Person’s affiliate or immediate family sharing the same household, (viii) any material pending or threatened legal proceeding in which such Proposing Person or its affiliates is a party, material participant or has an interest (other than an interest that is substantially the same as all shareholders) involving the Company or its affiliates or its or their directors or officers, (ix) any direct or indirect interest (including a Derivative Instrument or Short Interest) of such Proposing Person in any contract or agreement with the Company, any affiliate of the Company or any significant competitor of the Company (including, in any such case, any employment agreement, collective bargaining agreement or consulting agreement) (provided that, solely for purposes of this clause (ix), references to the words “the Company” within the definitions of “Derivative Instrument” and “Short Interest” shall be replaced with the words “such affiliate” when such definitions pertain to “any affiliate of the Company” and “such competitor” when such definitions pertain to “any significant competitor of the Company”), (x) any other material relationship with such Proposing Person, on the one hand, and the Company, any affiliate of the Company or any significant competitor of the Company, on the other hand, (xi) any other information relating to such Proposing Person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy

(a)Determination of Compliance. Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 5 of Article I shall be eligible to be elected at a meeting of shareholders to serve as directors and only such business shall be conducted at an annual meeting of shareholders as shall have been brought before the annual meeting in accordance with Section 6 of Article I. Except as otherwise provided in these Bylaws, in the Articles of Incorporation or by applicable law, if a judge or judges of election shall not have been appointed pursuant to these Bylaws, the presiding officer of the meeting may, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that any nomination made at the meeting or business brought before the meeting was not made in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 5 of Article I or Section 6 of Article I, as applicable, and, in such event, the nomination or business shall be disregarded. Any decision by the judge or judges of election or the presiding officer of the meeting, as applicable, shall be conclusive and binding upon all shareholders of the Company for any purpose. In addition, a nomination or business proposed to be brought before a meeting by a shareholder pursuant to Section 5 or Section 6 of Article I, as applicable, may not be brought before a meeting if such shareholder or any Proposing Person takes action contrary to the representations and warranties made in the shareholder notice applicable to such nomination or business or if the applicable shareholder notice contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or if after being submitted to the Company, the shareholder notice was not updated in accordance with
13


these Bylaws to cause the information provided therein to be true, correct and complete in all respects.
(b)Required Updates. In addition, to be timely, a shareholder shall update and supplement its Nomination Notice or Business Notice to the Company, if necessary and as applicable, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice (including any information regarding any Proposing Person or Prospective Nominee) shall be true, correct and complete as of the record date(s) for the determination of persons entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the meeting and as of the date that is five (5) business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and such update and supplement shall be delivered to and received by the Secretary of the Company at the principal executive offices of the Company no later than two (2) business days after the record date(s) for the meeting in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of the record date(s), and not later than two (2) business days prior to the date for the meeting, any adjournment or postponement thereof in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of five (5) business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and not later than two (2) business days after the occurrence of any event or development that would cause the information provided to be not true, correct and complete in all material respects. For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation to update and supplement as set forth in this paragraph or any other section of these Bylaws shall not cure or limit the Company’s rights with respect to any deficiencies in any notice provided by a shareholder, extend any applicable deadlines hereunder or under any other provision of these Bylaws or enable or be deemed to permit a shareholder who has previously submitted notice hereunder, or under any other provision of these Bylaws, to amend or update any nomination or proposal or to submit any new proposal or nomination, including, without limitation, by changing or adding nominees, matters, business and/or resolutions proposed to be brought before a meeting of shareholders. If a shareholder fails to provide such update and supplement within such period, the information as to which a written supplement was requested may be deemed not to have been provided in accordance with the requirements of these Bylaws.
(c)Requested Supplement. Upon written request by the Secretary of the Company, the Board of Directors or any duly authorized committee thereof, a shareholder submitting a Nomination Notice or Business Notice pursuant to Section 5 or Section 6 of Article I, respectively, proposing business or a nomination to be brought before a meeting shall provide, within five (5) business days of delivery of such request (or such other period as may be specified in such request), a written supplement, satisfactory in the reasonable discretion of the Board of Directors, to any duly authorized committee thereof or any duly authorized officer of the Company, to update the information (including any information submitted regarding any Proposing Person or Prospective Nominee) contained in any previously submitted notice and provide the disclosures required by Section 5 and Section 6 of Article I, as applicable, such that they are current and true, correct and complete as of the date that such supplement is submitted to the Secretary of the Company. If a shareholder fails to provide such written supplement within such period, the information as to which a written supplement was requested may be deemed not to have been provided in accordance with the requirements of these Bylaws.
(d)Verification of Information. Upon written request by the Secretary of the Company, the Board of Directors or any duly authorized committee thereof, a shareholder submitting a Nomination Notice or Business Notice pursuant to Section 5 or Section 6 of Article I, respectively, proposing business or a nomination to be brought before a meeting shall provide, within five (5) business days of delivery of such request (or such other period as may be
14


specified in such request), (A) written verification, satisfactory in the reasonable discretion of the Board of Directors, to any duly authorized committee thereof or any duly authorized officer of the Company to demonstrate the accuracy of any information submitted by the shareholder (including any information submitted regarding any Proposing Person or any Prospective Nominee) in the notice delivered pursuant to the requirements of these Bylaws (including, if requested, written confirmation by such shareholder that it continues to intend to recommend or bring the nomination proposed in the notice before the meeting) and (B) such other information reasonably required by the Secretary of the Company, the Board of Directors or any duly authorized committee thereof, acting in good faith, to determine compliance with these Bylaws by each Proposing Person or Prospective Nominee or the accuracy and completeness of any notice or solicitation given or made on behalf of a Proposing Person. If a shareholder fails to provide such written verification or other information within such period, the information as to which written verification or other information was requested may be deemed not to have been provided in accordance with the requirements of these Bylaws.
(e)Cross References. For a Nomination Notice or Business Notice pursuant to Section 5 or Section 6 of Article I to comply with the requirements of Section 5 or Section 6 of Article I, respectively, each of the requirements of Section 5 or Section 6 of Article I shall be directly and expressly responded to in a manner that clearly indicates and expressly references to which provisions of Section 5 or Section 6 of Article I the information disclosed is intended to be responsive. Information disclosed in one section of the notice in response to one provision of these Bylaws shall not be deemed responsive to any other provision of these Bylaws unless it is expressly cross-referenced to such other provision and it is clearly apparent on its face how the information included in one section of the notice is directly and expressly responsive to the information required to be included in another section of the notice pursuant to Section 5 or Section 6 of Article I, as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, statements purporting to provide global cross-references that purport to provide that all information provided shall be deemed to be responsive to all requirements of Section 5 or Section 6 of Article I, as applicable, shall be disregarded and shall not satisfy the applicable requirements.
(f)Incorporation by Reference. For a Nomination Notice or Business Notice pursuant to Section 5 or Section 6 of Article I to comply with the requirements of Section 5 or Section 6 of Article I, respectively, it must set forth in writing directly within the body of the notice (as opposed to being incorporated by reference from any other document or writing not prepared solely in response to the requirements of these Bylaws) all the information required to be included therein as set forth in Section 5 or Section 6 of Article I. A notice shall not be deemed to be in compliance with Section 5 or Section 6 of Article I, as applicable, if it attempts to include the required information by incorporating by reference into the body of the notice any other document, writing or part thereof, including, but not limited to, any documents publicly filed with SEC not prepared solely in response to the requirements of these Bylaws. For the further avoidance of doubt, the body of the notice shall not include any documents that are not prepared solely in response to the requirements of these Bylaws.
(g)Representation Regarding Information. A shareholder submitting a Nomination Notice or Business Notice pursuant to Section 5, Section 6 or this Section 7 of Article I, by its delivery to the Company, represents and warrants to the Company that all information contained therein (including any information regarding any Proposing Person or Prospective Nominee), as of the deadline for submitting the notice, is true, correct and complete in all respects, contains no false or misleading statements and such shareholder acknowledges
15


that it intends for the Company and the Board of Directors to rely on such information as (A) being true, correct and complete in all respects and (B) not containing any false or misleading statements. If the information submitted pursuant to Section 5, Section 6 or this Section 7 of Article I, by any shareholder proposing a nomination or business to be brought before a meeting shall not be true, correct and complete in all respects prior to the deadline for submitting the notice, such information may be deemed not to have been provided in accordance with Section 5 or Section 6 of Article I, as applicable, and this Section 7 of Article I.

Subject to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, nothing in these Bylaws shall be construed to permit any shareholder, or give any shareholder the right, to include or have disseminated or described in the Company’s proxy statement any nomination of director or directors or any other business proposal.
Section 8.Proxy Access.
(a)Whenever the Board of Directors solicits proxies with respect to the election of directors of the Company at an annual meeting of shareholders, the Company shall include in the proxy statement distributed on behalf of the Board of Directors for such annual meeting the information specified below (the “Required Information”) with respect to (i) the Access Eligible Shareholder (as defined below) proposing to make a nomination for a director of the Company and who expressly elects at the time of providing the notice required by this Section 8 (the “Access Nomination Notice”) to have its nominee included in the Company’s proxy materials pursuant to this Section 8, (ii) and the nominee to be nominated (an “Access Nominee”); provided that the Access Nomination Notice complies with the other requirements of the Articles of Incorporation, these Bylaws and all applicable laws or regulations. The Required Information shall be (w) the name of the Access Nominee (which shall also be included on the Company’s form of proxy and ballot), (x) all information concerning the Access Nominee and the Access Eligible Shareholder required to be disclosed in the Company’s proxy statement under the rules and regulations of the Exchange Act, these Bylaws, the Articles of Incorporation and applicable law, (y) if the Access Eligible Shareholder so elects, a statement (the “Statement”) of not more than 500 words in support of the nomination that shall comply with Section 14 of the Exchange Act and (z) any other information that the Company or the Board of Directors determines, in their sole discretion, to include in the proxy statement relating to the nomination of the Access Nominee, including, without limitation, any statement in opposition to the nomination and any of the information provided to the Company pursuant to this Section 8.

If there are more than the Maximum Number of nominations for which access to the Company’s proxy materials has

been sought in compliance with this Section 8, the highest ranking Access Nominee who meets the requirements of this Section 8 from each Access Eligible Shareholder will be selected for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials until the Maximum Number is reached, going in order of the amount (largest to smallest) of shares of the Company each Access Eligible Shareholder disclosed as Owned in its respective Access Nomination Notice submitted to the Company. If the Maximum Number is not reached after the highest ranking Access Nominee who meets the requirements of this Section 8 from each Access Eligible Shareholder has been selected, this selection process will continue with the next highest ranked nominees as many times as necessary, following the same order each time, until the Maximum Number is reached. Following such determination, if any Access Nominee who satisfies the eligibility requirements in this Section 8 (i) thereafter withdraws from the election (or his or her nomination is withdrawn by the applicable Access Eligible Shareholder) or (ii) is thereafter not submitted for director election for any reason (including the failure to comply with this Section 8) other than due to a failure by the Company to include such Access Nominee in the proxy materials in violation of this Section 8, no other nominee or nominees (other than any Access Nominee already determined to be included in the Company’s proxy materials who continues to satisfy the eligibility requirements of this Section 8) shall be included in the Company’s proxy materials or otherwise submitted for director election pursuant to this Section 8.
(c)The Company shall not be required to provide access to the Company’s proxy materials with respect to any annual meeting of shareholders if it receives timely notice pursuant to Section 5(b)(1) of Article I that any Proposing Person proposes (or multiple Proposing Persons propose) to nominate (i) a Prospective Nominee for election with respect to which such access is not being requested or (ii) if another person is engaging in a “solicitation” within the meaning of Rule 14a-1(l) under the Exchange Act or any successor rule against a nominee of the Board of Directors.

(k)For purposes of these Bylaws, the following definitions shall apply:
(1)An “Access Eligible Shareholder” shall mean a person (or a group of not more than twenty (20) persons formed for the purpose of seeking access pursuant to this Section 8; provided that a group of funds that are (i) under common management and investment control, or (ii) under common management and funded primarily by the same employer, or (iii) a “group of investment companies,” as such term is defined in Section 12(d) (1) (G) (ii) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, shall be treated as one person for this purpose if the Access Eligible Shareholder provides, no later than the deadline for submitting the Access Nomination Notice pursuant to Section 8(d)(1) of Article I, documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Company to evidence the same) who or which has continuously Owned 3% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company as of the most recent date for which such number is disclosed by the Company in any filing by the Company with the SEC prior to submission of the Access Nomination Notice (the “Minimum Ownership”) continuously for a minimum of three full years prior to and as of the Submission Date (the “Minimum Holding Period”) and continue(s) to Own at least the same amount of securities so owned by such person or group of persons through the record date for the annual meeting of shareholders and the date of the annual meeting of shareholders.
For purposes of this Section 8, persons who jointly nominate an individual for election as a director shall be considered an Access Eligible Shareholder only if they have agreed in writing to so act, are so identified in the Access Nomination Notice and the information and the undertakings required by this Section 8 for an Access Eligible Shareholder are provided by and with respect to each such person. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of determining if persons who claim jointly to satisfy the Minimum Ownership and Minimum Holding Period requirements for an Access Eligible Shareholder, only the common shares of the Company Owned by any member of a group continuously for at least three full years shall be aggregated with the common shares Owned continuously for three years by each other person acting jointly to constitute an Access Eligible Shareholder. A record holder acting on behalf of a beneficial owner will not be counted separately as a shareholder with respect to the shares owned by beneficial owners on whose behalf such record holder has been directed in writing to act, but each such beneficial owner will be counted separately as a member of such group, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8. No person may be a member of more than one group of persons constituting an Access Eligible Shareholder with respect to any annual meeting of shareholders and if any person appears as a member of more than one group, then it shall be deemed to be a member of the group that has the largest amount of shares of the Company disclosed as owned in the Access Nomination Notice.
(2)A “Disqualified Person” means a nominee (i) whose election as a member of the Board of Directors, or inclusion of such nominee in the Company’s proxy materials, would cause the Company to be in violation of these Bylaws, the Articles of Incorporation, the rules and listing standards of the principal U. S. exchange upon which the shares of the Company are traded, or any applicable state or federal law, rule or regulation; (ii) who is or has been, within the past three (3) years, an officer or director of a competitor, as defined in Section 8 of the Clayton Antitrust Act of 1914; (iii) who is a named subject of a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses) or has been convicted in such a criminal proceeding within the past ten
24


(10) years; or (iv) who is subject to any order of the type specified in Rule 506(d) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any successor rule;
(3)A “Disqualified Repeat Nominee” in respect of an annual meeting of shareholders shall mean an individual as to whom access to the Company’s proxy materials was provided pursuant to this Section 8 for either of the two most recent annual meetings of shareholders and (i) who withdrew from or became unwilling, ineligible or unavailable for election at the meeting or to serve on the Board of Directors for any reason or (ii) received at such meeting votes in favor of his or her election representing less than 25% of the total votes cast with respect to his or her election. For the avoidance of doubt, neither this Section 8(k)(3) nor Section 8(d)(2)(iii) of Article I shall prevent any shareholder from nominating any person to the Board of Directors pursuant to and in accordance with Section 5 of Article I.
(4)“Independent” with respect to an Access Nominee shall mean that the nominee would be considered an independent director in accordance with the listing standards of the principal U. S. exchange upon which the shares of the Company trade, any applicable rules of the SEC and any additional publicly disclosed standards used by the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof in determining and disclosing the independence of the Company’s directors in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such principal U. S. exchange or otherwise.

In the event that one or more vacancies for any reason occurs after such date but before the date of the annual meeting of shareholders and the size of the Board of Directors is reduced in connection therewith, the Maximum Number shall be calculated based on the number of directors in office as so reduced. The Maximum Number shall be reduced by any of the following, whether occurring before or after the deadline for submitting an Access Nomination Notice: (i) any person who is or will be nominated by the Board of Directors pursuant to Section 8(g) of Article I; (ii) the number of directors in office on such date who were nominated at any of the three most recent annual meetings of shareholders pursuant to this Section 8 (including by the Board of Directors pursuant to Section 8(g) of Article I) or pursuant to Section 5 of Article I, other than such directors whose term of office will expire at such annual meeting of shareholders and who is not seeking (or agreeing) to be nominated at such meeting for another term of office; (iii) any person who is nominated by an Access Eligible Shareholder pursuant to this Section 8 but whose nomination is subsequently withdrawn or who becomes unwilling, ineligible or unavailable for election at the meeting, to serve as a director for any reason or to be named in the Company’s proxy materials pursuant to this Section 8; or (iv) any person who is or will be nominated by the Board of Directors pursuant to an agreement, understanding or arrangement with one or more shareholders or group of shareholders (other than any agreement, understanding or arrangement entered into in connection with an acquisition of shares of the Company, by such shareholder or group of shareholders, from the Company).

A person shall “Own” shares held in the name of a nominee or other intermediary so long as the person retains the right to instruct how the shares are voted with respect to the election of directors and possesses the full economic interest in the shares. A person’s Ownership of shares shall be deemed to continue during any period in which the person has delegated any voting power by means of a proxy, power of attorney or other instrument or arrangement which is revocable at any time by the person. A person’s Ownership of shares shall be deemed to continue during any period in which the person has loaned such shares, provided, that the person has the power to recall such loaned shares on five (5) business days’ notice, and recalls such shares promptly upon being notified by the Company that the applicable Access Nominee will be included in the proxy materials.

ARTICLE IV
INDEMNIFICATION
Section 1.Right to Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law (as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, but in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than such applicable law permitted the Company to provide prior to such amendment), any person (such person, an “Indemnitee”) who was or is a party (which shall include for purposes of this Article IV the giving of testimony or similar involvement), is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative, including any and all appeals, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Company or while serving as a director or officer of the Company is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including an employee benefit plan, or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in any such capacity or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, from and against any loss and liability suffered and penalty, damages, excise tax assessed with respect to an employee benefit plan, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, including any appeals, whether or not the indemnified liability arises or arose from any threatened, pending or completed action by or in the right of the Company. The Board of Directors may, and on request of any Indemnitee shall be required to, determine in each case whether indemnification is proper under applicable law, or such determination shall be made by independent legal counsel selected by the board if the board so directs or if the board is not empowered by law to make such determination. If there has been a change in control (as such term is used in Item 6(a) of Schedule 14A promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act) of the Company between (1) the time of the action or failure to act giving rise to the claim for indemnification and (2) the time such claim is made, at the option of the Indemnitee seeking indemnification the permissibility of indemnification shall be determined by independent legal counsel selected jointly by the Company and the Indemnitee seeking indemnification. The fees and expenses of such counsel shall be paid by the Company. The obligations of the Company to indemnify an Indemnitee under this Article IV, including the duty to advance expenses, shall be a contract between the Company and such person, and no modification or repeal of any provision of this Article IV shall affect, to the detriment of the director, officer, employee or agent such obligations of the Company in connection with a claim based on any act or failure to act occurring before such modification or repeal.
31


Section 2.Advancement of Expenses. In addition to the right to indemnification pursuant to Section 1 of Article IV, an Indemnitee shall also have the right, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law (as the same exists or may hereafter be amended) to be paid by the Company expenses (including attorney’s fees, costs and expenses) incurred by the Indemnitee in appearing at, participating in and defending, or otherwise arising out of or related to, an action, suit or proceeding for which such Indemnitee may be entitled to indemnification under this Article IV in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding subject, if required by applicable law, to receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the indemnified person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized in this Article IV or otherwise or found that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized in this Article IV or otherwise pursuant to applicable law. With respect to any indemnifiable proceeding for which an Indemnitee requests advancement of expenses under this Section 2, the Company shall be entitled, in its sole discretion, to assume the defense of such action, suit or proceeding, with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee, upon the delivery to indemnitee of prior written notice of its election to do so.
Section 3.Indemnification Not Exclusive. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by this Article IV shall not be deemed exclusive of any other right to which one indemnified may be entitled under any agreement, vote of shareholders or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding that office, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of any such person.
Section 4.Insurance, Security and Other Indemnification.

Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting PoliciesBasis of Presentation: The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regulations. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, these financial statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations, cash flows and the change in equity for the periods presented. The condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries (which may be referred to as “West”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 Annual Report”). The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

Accounting Standards Update and Change in Accounting Principle [Abstract]  
New Accounting Standards New Accounting Standards
Recently Adopted Standards

In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued guidance that seeks to enhance transparency around entities' use of supplier finance programs. The amendment requires the buyer in a supplier finance program to disclose information about the key terms of the program, outstanding confirmed amounts as of the end of the period, a rollforward of such amounts during each annual period, and a description of where in the financial statements outstanding amounts are presented. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. We adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2023, on a prospective basis. The adoption did not have a material impact on our financial statements, as supplier finance programs are not material to the Company as of September 30, 2023.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]  
Revenue Revenue
Our revenue results from the sale of goods or services and reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. We record revenue based on a five-step model, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606. Following the identification of a contract with a customer, we identify the performance obligations (goods or services) in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and recognize the revenue when (or as) we satisfy the performance obligations by transferring the promised goods or services to our customers. A good or service is transferred when (or as) the customer obtains control of that good or service.

The majority of the performance obligations within our contracts are satisfied within one year or less. Performance obligations satisfied beyond one year include those relating to a nonrefundable customer payment of $20.0 million received in June 2013 in return for the exclusive use of the SmartDose® technology platform within a specific therapeutic area. As of September 30, 2023, there was $2.4 million of deferred income related to this payment, of which $0.9 million was included in other current liabilities and $1.5 million was included in other long-term liabilities. The deferred income is being recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the agreement. The agreement does not include a future minimum purchase commitment from the customer.

During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, there were 0.0 million and 0.2 million shares, respectively, from stock-based compensation plans not included in the computation of diluted net income per share because their impact was antidilutive. There were 0.1 million and 0.1 million antidilutive shares outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
In February 2023, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program under which we may repurchase up to $1.0 billion in shares of common stock. The share repurchase program does not have an expiration date under which we may repurchase common stock on the open market or in privately-negotiated transactions. The number of shares to be repurchased and the timing of such transactions will depend on a variety of factors, including market conditions. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we purchased 77,329 shares of our common stock under the program at a cost of $27.8 million, or an average price of $360.25 per share. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we purchased 753,399 shares of our common stock under the program at a cost of $261.3 million, or an average price of $346.86 per share.

In December 2021, we announced a share repurchase program for calendar-year 2022 authorizing the repurchase of up to 650,000 shares of our common stock from time to time on the open market or in privately-negotiated transactions. The number of shares to be repurchased and the timing of such transactions was dependent on a variety of factors, including market conditions. This share repurchase program was completed by December 31, 2022. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we purchased 86,667 shares of our common stock under the calendar-year 2022 program at a cost of $27.2 million, or an average price of $313.22 per share. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we purchased 563,334 shares of our common stock under the calendar-year 2022 program at a cost of $202.9 million, or an average price of $360.03 per share.

Leases [Abstract]  
Leases Leases
A lease exists when a contract conveys to the customer the right to control the use of identified property, plant, or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The definition of a lease embodies two conditions: 1) there is an identified asset in the contract that is land or a depreciable asset (i.e., property, plant, and equipment); and 2) the customer has the right to control the use of the identified asset. Lease payments included in the measurement of the operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are comprised of fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), variable payments that depend on an index or rate, and the exercise price of a lessee option to purchase the underlying asset if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise.

At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the aggregate carrying amount of our investment in affiliated companies that are accounted for under the equity method was $189.7 million and $197.0 million, respectively, and the aggregate carrying amount of our investment in affiliated companies that are not accounted for under the equity method was $5.7 million and $7.9 million, respectively. We record these investments, for which fair value was not readily determinable, at cost, less impairment, adjusted for subsequent observable price changes. We test these investments for impairment whenever circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the investments may not be recoverable.

Our purchases from, and royalty payments made to, affiliates totaled $34.4 million and $118.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to $33.6 million and $131.2 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2022. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the payable balance due to affiliates was $20.6 million and $31.2 million, respectively. The majority of these transactions related to a distributorship agreement with Daikyo Seiko, Ltd. ("Daikyo") that allows us to purchase and re-sell Daikyo products.
Sales to affiliates were $2.5 million and $8.5 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $2.6 million and $10.2 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2022.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
Derivative Financial Instruments Derivative Financial InstrumentsOur ongoing business operations expose us to various risks, such as fluctuating interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and increasing commodity prices. To manage these market risks, we periodically enter into derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate swaps, options and foreign exchange contracts for periods consistent with, and for notional amounts equal to or less than, the related underlying exposures. We do not purchase or hold any derivative financial instruments for investment or trading purposes. All derivatives are recorded in our condensed consolidated balance sheet at fair value.
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk

We have entered into forward exchange contracts, designated as fair value hedges, to manage our exposure to fluctuating foreign exchange rates on cross-currency intercompany loans. As of both September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the notional amount of these forward exchange contracts was Singapore Dollar (“SGD”) 601.5 million and $13.4 million. We have also entered into forward exchange contracts, designated as fair value hedges, to manage our exposure to fluctuating foreign exchange rates on cross-currency intercompany demand notes which were executed in June 2023. As of September 30, 2023, the total amount of these forward exchange contracts was Euro ("EUR") 278.6 million and SGD 94.0 million.

In addition, we have entered into several foreign currency contracts, designated as cash flow hedges, for periods of up to eighteen months, intended to hedge the currency risk associated with a portion of our forecasted transactions denominated in foreign currencies. As of September 30, 2023, we had outstanding foreign currency contracts to purchase and sell certain pairs of currencies, as follows:

In December 2019, we entered into a cross-currency swap for $90 million, which we designated as a hedge of our net investment in Daikyo. As of September 30, 2023, the notional amount of the cross-currency swap is ¥8.9 billion ($81.5 million) and the swap termination date is December 31, 2024. Under the cross-currency swap, we receive floating interest rate payments based on USD compounded SOFR plus a margin, in return for paying floating interest rate payments based on Japanese Yen (“Yen”) Tokyo Overnight Average Rate ("TONAR") plus a margin. In addition, we receive periodic fixed principal payments of USD in return for paying fixed principal payments of Yen.

Commodity Price Risk

Many of our proprietary products are made from synthetic elastomers, which are derived from the petroleum refining process. We purchase the majority of our elastomers via long-term supply contracts, some of which contain clauses that provide for surcharges related to fluctuations in crude oil prices. The following economic hedges did not qualify for hedge accounting treatment since they did not meet the highly effective requirement at inception.

From November 2017 through September 2023, we purchased several series of call options for a total of 975,206 barrels of crude oil to mitigate our exposure to such oil-based surcharges and protect operating cash flows with regard to a portion of our forecasted elastomer purchases.

As of September 30, 2023, we had outstanding contracts to purchase 229,397 barrels of crude oil from September 2023 to March 2025, at a weighted-average strike price of $94.93 per barrel.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
Fair Value Measurements Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The following fair value hierarchy classifies the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into one of three levels:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

The following tables present the assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis:

Deferred compensation assets are included within other noncurrent assets and are valued using a market approach based on quoted market prices in an active market. The fair value of our foreign currency contracts, included within other current and other noncurrent assets, as well as other current and other long-term liabilities, is valued using an income approach based on quoted forward foreign exchange rates and spot rates at the reporting date. The fair value of the cross-currency swap, included within other noncurrent assets, is valued using a market approach. Please refer to Note 9, Derivative Financial Instruments, for further discussion of our derivatives. The fair value of our commodity call options, included within other current and other noncurrent assets, is valued using a market approach. The fair value of the contingent consideration liability, within current and long-term liabilities, related to the SmartDose® technology platform (the “SmartDose® contingent consideration”) was initially determined using a probability-weighted income approach, and is revalued at each reporting date or more frequently if circumstances dictate. Changes in the fair value of this obligation are recorded as income or expense within other expense (income) in our condensed consolidated statements of income. The fair value of deferred compensation liabilities is based on quoted prices of the underlying employees’ investment selections and is included within other long-term liabilities.

Other Financial Instruments

We believe that the carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable approximate their fair values due to their near-term maturities.

The estimated fair value of long-term debt is based on quoted market prices for debt issuances with similar terms and maturities and is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. At September 30, 2023, the estimated fair value of long-term debt was $147.2 million compared to a carrying amount of $152.1 million. At December 31, 2022, the estimated fair value of long-term debt was $201.8 million and the carrying amount was $206.7 million.

Stock-Based Compensation

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]  
Stock-Based Compensation Stock-Based Compensation
The West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. 2016 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2016 Plan”) provides for the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards and performance awards to employees and non-employee directors. A committee of the Board of Directors determines the terms and conditions of awards to be granted. Vesting requirements vary by award. At September 30, 2023, there were 1,438,454 shares remaining in the 2016 Plan for future grants.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we granted 105,640 stock options at a weighted average exercise price of $306.92 per share based on the grant-date fair value of our stock to employees under the 2016 Plan. The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted was $108.88 per share as determined by the Black-Scholes option valuation model using the following weighted average assumptions: a risk-free interest rate of 4.1%; expected life of 5.7 years based on prior experience; stock volatility of 29.8% based on historical data; and a dividend yield of 0.3%. Stock option expense is recognized over the vesting period, net of forfeitures.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we granted 37,536 stock-settled performance share unit (“PSU”) awards at a weighted average grant-date fair value of $306.91 per share to eligible employees. These awards are earned based on the Company’s performance against pre-established targets, including annual growth rate of revenue and return on invested capital, over a specified performance period. Depending on the achievement of the targets, recipients of stock-settled PSU awards are entitled to receive a certain number of shares of common stock. Shares earned under PSU awards may vary from 0% to 200% of an employee’s targeted award. The fair value of stock-settled PSU awards is based on the market price of our stock at the grant date and is recognized as expense over the performance period, adjusted for estimated target outcomes and net of forfeitures.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we granted 4,563 stock-settled restricted share unit (“RSU”) awards at a weighted average grant-date fair value of $310.56 per share to eligible employees. These awards are earned over a specified performance period. The fair value of stock-settled RSU awards is based on the market price of our stock at the grant date and is recognized as expense over the vesting period, net of forfeitures.
Stock-based compensation expense was $5.9 million and $21.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, stock-based compensation expense was $6.0 million and $17.0 million, respectively.

During 2021, the Company approved the termination of our U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan (the "U.S. pension plan"). Prior to the third quarter of 2022, a Notice of Intent to Terminate was sent to all interested parties and a favorable determination letter was received from the Internal Revenue Service. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, lump sum payments were offered to all current employees and former employees with vested benefits under the U.S. pension plan. A cash contribution of $6.5 million was then made by the Company to ensure the U.S. pension plan was fully funded in preparation for the group annuity contract purchase which was executed in August of 2022 to settle the outstanding benefit obligations. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded $49.6 million and $50.8 million in pension settlement charges, respectively, within other nonoperating (income) expense, which for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 relieved the historical balance sheet position, inclusive of accumulated other comprehensive income, of the U.S. pension plan.

Loss on Disposal of Plant

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded expense of $11.6 million, respectively, within other expense (income), as a result of the sale of one of the Company’s manufacturing facilities within the Proprietary Products segment. The transaction closed during the second quarter of 2023.

Restructuring and Related Charges

In December 2022, the Company approved a restructuring plan to adjust our operating cost base to better respond to the macroeconomic factors influencing our business. These changes are expected to be implemented over a period of up to twenty-four months from the date of approval. The plan is expected to require restructuring and related charges of approximately $25 million to $27 million, with annualized savings in the range of $22 million to $24 million. The following table presents activity related to our restructuring obligations related to our 2022 restructuring plan:

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
Income Taxes Income Taxes
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 before taxes, adjusted for the impact of discrete quarterly items.

The provision for income taxes was $29.4 million and $20.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and the effective tax rate was 15.7% and 15.0%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily due to a tax benefit of $20.0 million related to the termination of the U.S. pension plan recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2022 that was not repeated in the same period in 2023. This was offset by an increase in the tax benefit related to stock-based compensation in the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022.

The provision for income taxes was $87.8 million and $85.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and the effective tax rate was 16.6% and 15.6%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily due to a tax benefit of $20.3 million related to the termination of the U.S. pension plan recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and a $5.9 million tax benefit recorded as the result of a state tax valuation allowance reversal in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 that were not repeated in the same period in 2023. This was offset by an increase in the tax benefit related to stock-based compensation in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022.

From time to time, we are involved in product liability matters and other legal proceedings and claims generally incidental to our normal business activities. We accrue for loss contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. While the outcome of current proceedings cannot be accurately predicted, we believe their ultimate resolution should not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

There have been no significant changes to the commitments and contingencies included in our 2022 Annual Report.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Information Segment Information
Our business operations are organized into two reportable segments, Proprietary Products and Contract-Manufactured Products. Our Proprietary Products reportable segment offers proprietary packaging, containment solutions and drug delivery products, along with analytical lab services and other integrated services and solutions, primarily to biologic, generic and pharmaceutical drug customers. Our Contract-Manufactured Products reportable segment serves as a fully integrated business, focused on the design, manufacture, and automated assembly of complex devices, primarily for pharmaceutical, diagnostic, and medical device customers.

The Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") evaluates the performance of our segments based upon, among other things, segment net sales and operating profit. Segment operating profit excludes general corporate costs, which include executive and director compensation, stock-based compensation, certain pension and other retirement benefit costs, and other corporate facilities and administrative expenses not allocated to the segments. Also excluded are items that the CODM considers not representative of ongoing operations. Such items are referred to as other unallocated items and generally include restructuring and related charges, certain asset impairments and other specifically-identified income or expense items. The segment operating profit metric is what the CODM uses in evaluating our results of operations and the financial measure that provides a valuable insight into our overall performance and financial position.

The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, these financial statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations, cash flows and the change in equity for the periods presented. The condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries (which may be referred to as “West”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 Annual Report”). The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.
New Accounting Standards New Accounting Standards
Recently Adopted Standards

In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued guidance that seeks to enhance transparency around entities' use of supplier finance programs. The amendment requires the buyer in a supplier finance program to disclose information about the key terms of the program, outstanding confirmed amounts as of the end of the period, a rollforward of such amounts during each annual period, and a description of where in the financial statements outstanding amounts are presented. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. We adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2023, on a prospective basis. The adoption did not have a material impact on our financial statements, as supplier finance programs are not material to the Company as of September 30, 2023.
