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 months ended March 31, 2026, 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, 2025 (the “2025 Annual Report”). The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.
West Vantage: Effective in the first quarter of 2026, the Company renamed its "Contract-Manufactured Products" reportable segment to "West Vantage™" to better align with its current strategic focus and offerings. This change in name does not affect the composition of the reportable segment, nor does it impact previously reported segment financial information.
Held for Sale Assets: In December 2025, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell all manufacturing and supply rights for the SmartDose® 3.5mL On-Body Delivery System and associated facilities to AbbVie for approximately $112.5 million, subject to working capital and other adjustments. The definitive agreement, which is subject to certain closing conditions, is expected to close in mid-2026. In relation to this agreement, the carrying values of certain assets were classified as held for sale in our consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 and recorded within other current assets. There wereno liabilities classified as held for sale in relation to this agreement as of March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025. All assets classified as held for sale as part of the agreement are within our Proprietary Products segment.

Note 2: New Accounting Standards
Recently Adopted Standards
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-09, Income Taxes: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, 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. The Company adopted and implemented the applicable disclosure requirements within its Form 10-K filed on February 17, 2026 on a prospective basis.
Standards Issued Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, that seeks to improve the disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses and address requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses (including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion) in commonly presented expense captions. The amendments require that at each interim and annual reporting period an entity: (1) disclose the amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization included in each of the Company's relevant expense captions; (2) include certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current GAAP in the same disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements; (3) disclose a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively; and (4) disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our financial statements and disclosures.
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.

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.
