AptarGroup Inc (NYSE:ATR) achieved core sales growth of 2% in the fourth quarter, exceeding the top end of their guidance range. The pharma segment achieved 8% core sales growth for the year, driven by increased sales of higher value products and royalties. The company reported an adjusted EBITDA margin of 23% for the fourth quarter, at the top end of their long-term range. AptarGroup Inc (NYSE:ATR) returned nearly $800 million to shareholders over the last five years through dividends and share repurchases. The company was recognized on the Climate A-List by CDP for leadership in corporate sustainability and environmental transparency. The beauty segment experienced a decline in core sales due to an unfavorable mix, despite growth in personal care technologies. The company anticipates a significant currency headwind and higher effective tax rate impacting first quarter results. Consumer healthcare core sales decreased by 17% due to decreased demand for nasal decongestants and other products. The beauty segment's adjusted EBITDA margin declined by 230 basis points due to lower sales of higher value prestige products. AptarGroup Inc (NYSE:ATR) faces challenges in the Chinese market, with local brands gaining share over multinationals. Q: Can you talk about the green shoots you are seeing in China and their potential impact on 2025? A: Stephan Tanda, CEO, explained that the Beauty market in China is showing renewed vitality, particularly with local brands gaining share. The market's growth, especially in skincare, is expected to benefit Aptar's business. Fragrance is also growing, albeit from a small base. The Chinese consumer's increased international travel is seen as a positive sign for the beauty business overall. Q: If currency rates and taxes remain as expected, do you anticipate earnings per share growth in 2025? A: Vanessa Kanu, CFO, stated that despite tax and FX headwinds, they are cautiously optimistic about achieving potential double-digit EPS growth in 2025. Cost reductions are expected to contribute positively to EBITDA and EPS. Q: What is the impact of the French tax legislation on your earnings? A: Vanessa Kanu, CFO, noted that the French tax legislation will impact the entire year, not just Q1. The legislation, which was anticipated in Q4, is now in effect and has been factored into their Q1 guidance. Q: How should we think about the destocking in cold and flu products and the timeline for normalization? A: Stephan Tanda, CEO, mentioned that they are seeing some bottoming out in consumer healthcare, with sequential increases in recent months. However, they still face tough comparables in Q1 and Q2. In Beauty, the mix effect is more pronounced, with mustache fragrances picking up and high-end luxury launches not repeating. Q: What are your expectations for injectables and proprietary delivery systems in 2025? A: Stephan Tanda, CEO, expressed confidence in the demand for injectables, with a good pipeline and order buildup. For proprietary delivery systems, continued strong performance is expected, driven by emerging treatments and central nervous system drugs.
