Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1: Basis of Presentation

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, 2024, 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, 2023 (the “2023 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

Standards Issued Not Yet Adopted

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued guidance that seeks to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and enhancement of interim disclosure requirements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued guidance that seeks to enhance income tax disclosures to provide information to better assess how an entity's operations and related tax risks affect its tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. Within the income tax rate reconciliation, the amendment requires disclosure of additional categories and greater detail about individual reconciling items over a specified threshold. It also requires information pertaining to taxes paid to be disaggregated for federal, state, and foreign taxes and further disaggregated for specific jurisdictions over a specified threshold. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our financial statements and disclosures, but we do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements other than the expanded footnote disclosure.

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.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

The following table summarizes our contract assets and liabilities:

($ in millions)
Contract assets, December 31, 2023$21.5
Contract assets, September 30, 202442.3
Change in contract assets - increase (decrease)$20.8
Deferred income, December 31, 2023$(53.9)
Deferred income, September 30, 2024(53.8)
Change in deferred income - decrease (increase)$0.1

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, 2024, $32.8 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 are not material as of September 30, 2024.

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:

Three Months EndedSeptember 30,Nine Months EndedSeptember 30,
($ in millions)2024202320242023
Net income$136.0$161.3$362.6$456.4

Dilutive effect of equity awards, based on the treasury stock method0.61.00.71.1
Weighted average shares assuming dilution73.475.373.875.5

During the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, there were 0.3 million and less than 0.1 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 0.3 million and 0.1 million antidilutive shares excluded during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, 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. The below table summarizes the details of the Company's repurchases of common stock under this program:

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 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.

The components of lease expense were as follows:

Credit Facility

On July 2, 2024, the Company entered into the Third Amendment to the Credit Facility Agreement, which amended the Existing Credit Facility Agreement. Among other changes to the existing credit agreement, the Third Amendment established an incremental term loan in the stated principal amount of $130.0 million (the “New Term Loan”), which was fully drawn at closing and matures on July 2, 2027. The entire stated principal amount of the New Term Loan is due at maturity and there is no scheduled amortization prior to such date. Together with cash on hand, proceeds from the New Term Loan were used to repay an outstanding term loan under the Existing Credit Facility Agreement in the principal amount of $79.9 million prior to its December 31, 2024 maturity date and to repay an aggregate principal amount of $53.0 million of the Company’s 3.82% Series B Senior Notes due July 5, 2024 issued under that certain Note Purchase Agreement dated as of July 5, 2012.

At September 30, 2024, the borrowing capacity available under our $500.0 million multi-currency revolving credit facility, including outstanding letters of credit of $2.4 million, was $497.6 million.

Term Loan

At September 30, 2024, we had $130.0 million in borrowings under the New Term Loan which were classified as long-term. Please refer to Note 9, Derivative Financial Instruments, for a discussion of the foreign currency hedge associated with the New 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, 2024, we were in compliance with all of our debt covenants.
