Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollars in Thousands, Except per Share Amounts, or as Otherwise Indicated)

NOTE 1 –SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of AptarGroup, Inc. and our subsidiaries. The terms “AptarGroup,” “Aptar,” “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” as used herein refer to AptarGroup, Inc. and our subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (the “Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”) include all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Also, certain financial position data included herein was derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. The results of operations of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year.

RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Changes to U.S. GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification.

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions, which clarify that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendments also clarify that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction. The amendments in ASU 2022-03 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted this guidance in the fourth quarter of 2024.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Improvement to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses on an annual and interim basis. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted, and are to be applied on a retrospective basis. We adopted this guidance in the fourth quarter of 2024. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements; however we have expanded disclosures. See Note 16 - Segment Information for further discussion.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which is intended to improve income tax disclosure requirements by requiring (i) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (ii) the disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The guidance makes several other changes to income tax disclosure requirements. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted, and are required to be applied prospectively with the option of retrospective application. We are evaluating the impact of the standard on our income tax disclosures and will adopt this guidance in the fourth quarter of 2025.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses ("DISE"), which requires the disaggregation of certain expenses in the notes to the financial statements, to provide enhanced transparency into the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 clarifying the effective date. This standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The requirements will be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective adoption. We are evaluating the impact of the standard on our disclosures in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other accounting standards that have been issued by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

INCOME TAXES

We compute taxes on income in accordance with the tax rules and regulations of the many taxing authorities where income is earned. The income tax rates imposed by these taxing authorities may vary substantially. Taxable income may differ from pre-tax income for U.S. GAAP financial accounting purposes. To the extent that these differences create temporary differences between the tax basis of an asset or liability and our reported amount in the U.S. GAAP financial statements, an appropriate provision for deferred income taxes is made.

We maintain our assertion that the cash and distributable reserves at our non-U.S. affiliates are indefinitely reinvested with the following exceptions: all earnings in Germany and the pre-2020 earnings in Italy, Switzerland and Colombia. Under current U.S. tax laws, we do not have a balance of foreign earnings that will be subject to U.S. taxation upon repatriation. We will provide for the necessary withholding and local income taxes when management decides that an affiliate should make a distribution. These decisions are made taking into consideration the financial requirements of the non-U.S. affiliates and our global cash management goals. See Note 5 – Income Taxes for more information.

We recognize a liability for the amount of unrecognized tax benefits on uncertain tax positions. This liability is recognized whenever we determine that a tax benefit will not meet a more-likely-than-not threshold for recognition.

We are subject to the examination of our returns and other tax matters by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities and government bodies. We believe that we have adequately provided a tax reserve for any adjustments that may result from tax examinations or uncertain tax positions. However, the outcome of tax audits cannot be predicted with certainty. If any issues addressed in our tax audits are resolved in a manner inconsistent with our expectations, we could be required to adjust our provision for income taxes in the period such resolution occurs. The resolution of each of these audits is not expected to be material to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

SUPPLY CHAIN FINANCE PROGRAM

We regularly renegotiate our supplier contracts and as a result have been successful in securing extended payment terms with many of our suppliers to be in line with local and regional trends. We facilitate a supply chain finance program (“SCF”) across Europe and the U.S. that is administered by a third-party platform. Eligible suppliers can elect to receive early payment of invoices, less an interest deduction, and negotiate their receivable sales arrangements through the third-party platform on behalf of the respective SCF bank. We are not a party to those agreements, and the terms of our payment obligations are not impacted by a supplier's participation in the SCF. Accordingly, we have concluded that this program continues to be a trade payable program and is not indicative of a borrowing arrangement. Under these agreements, the average payment terms range from 60 to 120 days and are based on industry standards and best practices within each of our regions.

All outstanding amounts related to suppliers participating in the SCF are recorded within accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and associated payments are included in operating activities within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. As of September 30, 2025, the amounts due to suppliers participating in the SCF and included inaccounts payable, accrued and other liabilities were approximately $30.5 million.

While we provide suppliers with the above third-party alternative for accelerated payments, we may also take advantage of similar accelerated payment opportunities offered to us by our customers, when economically beneficial for us to do so.

REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTEREST

During the third quarter of 2025, we entered into an agreement with the selling shareholder ofthree related companies: Suzhou Hsing Kwang, Suqian Hsing Kwang and Suzhou BTY (collectively referred to as “BTY”), which provides them with redemption rights (i.e. a put option) that could require Aptar to purchase the shareholder's remaining 20% noncontrolling interests in BTY upon the passage of time. As these redemption rights are not solely within the control of Aptar, such interests are classified as redeemable noncontrolling interest outside of permanent equity, in mezzanine equity, on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

At initial recognition, redeemable noncontrolling interests are recorded at their issuance-date or acquisition date, fair value. The fair value is estimated by applying an income approach and is based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and is therefore a Level 3 model. Key assumptions in the valuation of the redeemable noncontrolling interest include a discount rate, a terminal value based on a range of long-term sustainable growth rates and adjustments because of the lack of control that market participants would consider when measuring the fair value of the noncontrolling interests. Subsequently, redeemable noncontrolling interests that are currently redeemable, or probable of becoming redeemable, are adjusted to the greater of (i) current redemption value or (ii) carrying amount. Adjustments to redemption value are recorded through retained earnings. Upward adjustments are considered a deemed dividend, and would result in a reduction to earnings available to common shareholders for the calculation of earnings per common share. For additional information, see Note 20 - Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests.

We perform our obligations under a contract with a customer by transferring goods and/or services in exchange for consideration from the customer. The timing of performance will sometimes differ from the timing of the invoicing for the associated consideration from the customer, thus resulting in the recognition of a contract asset or a contract liability. We recognize a contract asset when we transfer control of goods or services to a customer prior to invoicing for the related performance obligation. The contract asset is transferred to accounts receivable when the product is invoiced to the customer. We recognize a contract liability if the customer's payment of consideration precedes the entity's performance.

The opening and closing balances of our contract asset and contract liabilities were as follows:

Balance as of September 30, 2025Balance as of December 31, 2024Increase/(Decrease)
Contract asset (current)$13,132$12,571$561
Contract liability (current)82,93164,42518,506
Contract liability (long-term)50,38140,5519,830

The differences in the opening and closing balances of our contract asset and contract liabilities are primarily the result of timing differences between our performance and the invoicing. The total amount of revenue recognized during the current year against contract liabilities is $82.9 million, including $40.1 million relating to contract liabilities at the beginning of the year. Current contract assets are included within Prepaid and other, while current contract liabilities and long-term contract liabilities are included within Accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities and Deferred and other non-current liabilities, respectively, within our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Determining the Transaction Price

In most cases, the transaction price for each performance obligation is stated in the contract. In determining the variable amounts of consideration within the transaction price (such as volume-based customer rebates), we include an estimate of the expected amount of consideration within revenue. We apply the expected value method based on all of the information (historical, current, and forecast) that is reasonably available and identify reasonable estimates based on this information. We apply the method consistently throughout the contract when estimating the effect of an uncertainty on the amount of variable consideration to which we will be entitled.

Product Sales

We primarily manufacture and sell drug and consumer product dosing, dispensing and protection technologies. The amount of consideration is typically fixed for customers. At the time of shipment, the customer is invoiced at the agreed-upon price. Revenue from product sales is typically recognized upon manufacture or shipment, when control of the goods transfers to the customer.

To determine when the control transfers, we typically assess, among other things, the shipping terms of the contract, shipping being one of the indicators of transfer of control. For a majority of product sales, control of the goods transfers to the customer at the time of shipment of the goods. Once the goods are shipped, we are precluded from redirecting the shipment to another customer. Therefore, our performance obligation is satisfied at the time of shipment. For sales in which control transfers upon delivery, shipping and/or handling costs that occur before the customer obtains control of the goods are deemed to be fulfillment activities and are accounted for as fulfillment costs and revenue is recorded upon final delivery to the customer location. We have elected to account for shipping and handling costs that occur after the customer has obtained control of a good as fulfillment costs rather than as a promised service. We do not have any material significant payment terms as payment is typically received shortly after the point of sale.

There also exist instances where we manufacture highly customized products that have no alternative use to us and for which we have an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. For these products, we transfer control and recognize revenue over time by measuring progress towards completion using the output method based on the number of products produced. As we normally make our products to a customer’s order, the time between production and shipment of our products is typically within a few weeks. We believe this measurement provides a faithful depiction of the transfer of goods as the costs incurred reflect the value of the products produced.

As a part of our customary business practice, we offer a standard warranty that the products will materially comply with the technical specifications and will be free from material defects. Because such warranties are not sold separately, do not provide for any service beyond a guarantee of a product’s initial specifications, and are not required by law, there is no revenue deferral for these types of warranties.

Tooling Sales

We also build or contract for molds and other tools (collectively defined as “tooling”) necessary to produce our products. As with product sales, we recognize revenue when control of the tool transfers to the customer. If the tooling is highly customized with no alternative use to us and we have an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date, we transfer control and recognize revenue over time by measuring progress towards completion using the input method based on costs incurred relative to total estimated costs to completion. Otherwise, revenue for the tooling is recognized at the point in time when the customer approves the tool. We do not have any significant payment terms as payment is typically either received during the mold-build process or shortly after completion.

In certain instances, we offer extended warranties on our tools above and beyond the normal standard warranties. We normally receive payment at the inception of the contract and recognize revenue over the term of the contract. We do not have any material extended warranties as of September 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024.

Service Sales

We also provide services to our customers. As with product sales, we recognize revenue based on completion of each performance obligation of the service contract. Milestone deliverables and upfront payments are tied to specific performance obligations and recognized upon satisfaction of the individual performance obligation.

Royalty Revenue

We determine the amount and timing of royalty revenue based on our contractual agreements with customers. These contracts contain variable consideration which primarily relate to sales- or usage-based royalties related to the license of intellectual property and license contracts. For sales- and usage-based royalties, ASC 606 provides an exception to estimating variable consideration. Under this exception, we recognize revenues from sales- or usage-based royalty revenue at the later of when the sales or usage occurs or the satisfaction (or partial satisfaction) of the performance obligation to which the royalty has been allocated.

Contract Costs

We do not incur significant costs to obtain or fulfill revenue contracts.

Credit Risk

We are exposed to credit losses primarily through our product sales, tooling sales and services to our customers. We assess each customer’s ability to pay for the products we sell by conducting a credit review. The credit review considers our expected billing exposure and timing for payment and the customer’s established credit rating, or our assessment of the customer’s creditworthiness based on our analysis of their financial statements when a credit rating is not available. We also consider contract terms and conditions, country and political risks, and business strategy in our evaluation. A credit limit is established for each customer based on the outcome of this review.

We monitor our ongoing credit exposure through active review of customer balances against contract terms and due dates. Our activities include timely account reconciliation, dispute resolution and payment confirmation. We may employ collection agencies and legal counsel to pursue recovery of defaulted receivables.

Future amortization expense may fluctuate depending on changes in foreign currency rates. The estimates for amortization expense noted above are based upon foreign exchange rates as of September 30, 2025.

NOTE 5 –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 and related estimated full year-taxes, adjusted for the impact of discrete quarterly items.

The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s Model Global Anti-Base Erosion rules under Pillar Two have been enacted by various countries beginning in 2024. These enacted laws relate to the Pillar Two safe harbors, Income Inclusion Rule, Qualified Domestic Minimum Tax, and the Undertaxed Profits Rule for 2025. We have analyzed the provisions in the applicable jurisdictions and provided for the appropriate tax amounts. We do not expect a material impact from Pillar Two related taxes for 2025.

On July 4, 2025, the U.S. government enacted tax legislation commonly referred to as “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (“OBBBA”). We are reviewing and analyzing the full effects of the corporate tax-related provisions of the OBBBA. While we are continuing to evaluate the full impact of the legislation, we do not expect the OBBBA to have a material effect on our estimated 2025 effective tax rate.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, was 17.1% and 23.8%. The lower effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2025 reflects a benefit related to the gain resulting from remeasurement of equity investments to fair value upon Aptar becoming the majority shareholder in the invested companies (4.2%), and a deferred tax benefit resulting from the release of a valuation allowance (2.7%). The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, was 20.4% and 22.7%. The lower effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 reflects deferred tax benefits from the valuation allowance releases (3.1%) and a benefit related to the gain resulting from remeasurement of equity investments to fair value upon Aptar becoming the majority shareholder in the invested companies (1.6%). The tax rate for 2024 reflects tax incentives in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions from intellectual property development activities and greater excess tax benefits from share-based compensation than in 2025.

NOTE 6 –DEBT

Short-Term Obligations

At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our short term obligations, revolving credit facility and overdrafts consisted of the following:

Short term obligations 2.25% to 3.10%$27,951$—
Revolving credit facility 2.90% to 5.59%339,614176,035
Overdraft 4.77%180—
$367,745$176,035

We have a revolving credit facility (the “revolving credit facility”) with a syndicate of banks that provides us with unsecured financing of up to $600 million, which may be increased by up to $300 million more, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The revolving credit facility is available in the U.S. and to our wholly-owned UK subsidiary and could be drawn in various currencies including USD, EUR, GBP, and CHF. On July 2, 2024, we entered into a new amended and restated agreement (the “amended revolving credit facility”) that extended the maturity date to July 2029, subject to a maximum oftwo one-year extensions in certain circumstances. As of December 31, 2024, €170.0 million ($176.0 million) was utilized under the amended revolving credit facility in the U.S. andno balance was utilized by our wholly-owned UK subsidiary. As of September 30, 2025, we had utilized $187.0 million and €130 million ($152.6 million) under the amended revolving credit facility in the U.S. andno balance was utilized by our wholly-owned UK subsidiary.

There areno compensating balance requirements associated with our amended revolving credit facility. Each borrowing under the amended revolving credit facility will bear interest at rates based on SOFR (in the case of USD), EURIBOR (in the case of EUR), SONIA (in the case of GBP), SARON (in the case of CHF), prime rates or other similar rates, in each case plus an applicable margin. The amended revolving credit facility also provides mechanics relating to a transition away from designated benchmark rates for other available currencies and the replacement of any such applicable benchmark by a replacement alternative benchmark rate or mechanism for loans made in the applicable currency. A facility fee on the total amount of the amended revolving credit facility is also payable quarterly, regardless of usage. The applicable margins for borrowings under the amended revolving credit facility and the facility fee percentage may change from time to time depending on changes in our consolidated leverage ratio.

We also have an unsecured money market borrowing arrangement to provide short-term financing of up to $30 million that is available in the U.S. No balance was outstanding under this arrangement as of September 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024.

NOTE 7 –LEASES

We lease certain warehouse, plant and office facilities, as well as certain equipment, under non-cancelable operating and finance leases expiring at various dates through the year 2042. Most of the operating leases contain renewal options and certain leases include options to purchase the related asset during or at the end of the lease term.

Amortization expense related to finance leases is included in depreciation expense, while rent expense related to operating leases is included within cost of sales and selling, research & development and administrative expenses.

NOTE 8 –RETIREMENT AND DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS

We have various noncontributory retirement plans covering certain of our domestic and foreign employees. Benefits under our retirement plans are based on participants’ years of service and annual compensation as defined by each plan. Annual cash contributions to fund pension costs accrued under our domestic plans are generally at least equal to the minimum funding amounts required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). Certain pension commitments under our foreign plans are also funded according to local requirements or at our discretion.

Effective January 1, 2021, our domestic noncontributory retirement plans were closed to new employees and employees who were rehired after December 31, 2020. These employees are instead eligible for additional contribution to their defined contribution 401(k) employee savings plan. All domestic employees with hire/rehire dates prior to January 1, 2021 are still eligible for the domestic pension plans and continue to accrue plan benefits after this date.

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, pension curtailment accounting was triggered as a result of restructuring in one of our entities in Europe. The remeasurement of the pension obligations resulted in a decrease of $1.9 million. The components of net periodic benefit cost, other than the service cost component, are included in the line miscellaneous income (expense), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Employer Contributions

We currently haveno minimum funding requirements for our domestic and foreign plans. However, we contributed $12.2 million to our domestic defined benefit plans during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and do not expect that we will make any additional significant contributions during the rest of 2025. We contributed $1.3 million to our foreign defined benefit plans during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and do not expect that we will make any additional significant contributions during the rest of 2025.

NOTE 10 –DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

We maintain a foreign exchange risk management policy designed to establish a framework to protect the value of our non-functional currency denominated transactions from adverse changes in exchange rates. Sales of our products can be denominated in a currency different from the currency in which the related costs to produce the product are denominated. Changes in exchange rates on such inter-country sales or intercompany loans can impact our results of operations. Our policy is not to engage in speculative foreign currency hedging activities, but to minimize our net foreign currency transaction exposure, defined as firm commitments and transactions recorded and denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. We may use foreign currency forward exchange contracts, options and cross currency swaps to economically hedge these risks.

For derivative instruments designated as hedges, we formally document the nature and relationships between the hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as the risk management objectives, strategies for undertaking the various hedge transactions, and the method of assessing hedge effectiveness at inception. Quarterly thereafter, we formally assess whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item. Additionally, in order to designate any derivative instrument as a hedge of an anticipated transaction, the significant characteristics and expected terms of any anticipated transaction must be specifically identified, and it must be probable that the anticipated transaction will occur. All derivative financial instruments used as hedges are recorded at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (See Note 11 - Fair Value).

Cash Flow Hedge

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the changes in fair values are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and included in changes in derivative gain/loss. The changes in the fair values of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to net income when the underlying hedged item is recognized in earnings. Cash flows from the settlement of derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges offset cash flows from the underlying hedged items and are included in operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Net Investment Hedge

A significant number of our operations are located outside of the United States. Because of this, movements in exchange rates may have a significant impact on the translation of the financial condition and results of operations of our foreign subsidiaries. A weakening U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies has an additive translation effect on our financial statements. Conversely, a strengthening U.S. dollar has a dilutive effect. In some cases we maintain debt in these subsidiaries to offset the net asset exposure. In the event we plan on a full or partial liquidation of any of our foreign subsidiaries where our net investment is likely to be monetized, we will consider hedging the currency exposure associated with such a transaction.

On July 6, 2022, we entered into aseven-year USD/EUR fixed-to-fixed cross currency interest rate swap to effectively hedge the interest rate exposure relating to $203 million of the $400 million 3.60% Senior Notes due March 2032, which were issued by AptarGroup, Inc. on March 7, 2022. This USD/EUR swap agreement exchanged $203 million of fixed-rate 3.60% USD debt to €200 million of fixed-rate 2.5224% euro debt. We pay semi-annual fixed rate interest payments on the euro notional amount of €2.5 million and receive semi-annual fixed rate interest payments on the USD notional amount of $3.7 million. This swap has been designated as a net investment hedge to effectively hedge the foreign exchange risk associated with €200 million of our euro denominated net assets. We elected the spot method for recording the net investment hedge. Gains and losses resulting from the settlement of the excluded components are recorded in interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Gains and losses resulting from the fair value adjustments to the cross currency swap agreements are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income as the swaps are effective in hedging the designated risk. As of September 30, 2025, the fair value of the cross currency swap was a $33.8 million liability. The swap agreement will mature on September 15, 2029.

Other

As of September 30, 2025, we have recorded the fair value of foreign currency forward exchange contracts of $0.1 million in prepaid and other and $0.9 million in accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. All forward exchange contracts outstanding as of September 30, 2025 had an aggregate notional contract amount of $83.5 million.

NOTE 11 –FAIR VALUE

Authoritative guidelines require the categorization of assets and liabilities into three levels based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to price the assets or liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2: Observable inputs other than those included in Level 1. For example, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability.

As of September 30, 2025, the fair values of our financial assets and liabilities were categorized as follows:

(3)Investment in convertible notes in Enable Injections, Inc. and Siklus Refill Pte, Ltd. The investments are included within Miscellaneous assets in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The carrying amounts of our other current financial instruments such as cash and equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, notes payable and current maturities of long-term obligations approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of the instrument. We consider our long-term debt obligations a Level 2 liability and utilize the market approach valuation technique based on interest rates that are currently available to us for issuance of debt with similar terms and maturities. The estimated fair value of our long-term obligations was $508.6 million as of September 30, 2025 and $624.7 million as of December 31, 2024.

NOTE 12 –COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

We are subject to a number of lawsuits and claims both actual and potential in nature including those involving intellectual property and commercial disputes. For example, we are involved in legal proceedings in certain jurisdictions related to alleged infringement of intellectual property rights, alleged customer breach of confidentiality obligations, alleged customer misuse of proprietary information and alleged violations of competition and antitrust laws. We are actively litigating our interests in these matters and management believes the resolution of these claims and lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows, claims and legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable outcomes could occur that could include amounts in excess of any accruals which management has established. Were such unfavorable final outcomes to occur, it is possible that they could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Legal Proceedings

On March 25, 2025, AptarGroup, Inc. and its subsidiary, Aptar France SAS, filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against ARS Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and ARS Pharmaceuticals Operations, Inc. (together, “ARS”). The complaint alleges that ARS misappropriated Aptar’s trade secrets and breached multiple contractual confidentiality obligations. This matter is pending and no final determination has been made by the court. Aptar seeks injunctive relief and damages. Relatedly, on September 29, 2025, ARS filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California against Aptar. The complaint alleges that Aptar violated Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act and Section 3 of the Clayton Act by refusing to sell certain components. ARS seeks injunctive relief and damages.

In May 2025, Nemera La Verpillière SAS ("Nemera") filed parallel patent infringement actions in Mannheim Regional Court, Germany and Paris Judicial Court, France against Aptar and certain subsidiaries alleging that Aptar's ophthalmic product infringes a Nemera patent, seeking an injunction and damages. Aptar is contesting the claims. Aptar filed oppositions before the European Patent Office ("EPO") challenging the validity of the European Patent (EP) asserted by Nemera. On October 2, 2025, an EPO hearing invalidated Nemera’s main patent claim while allowing an amended claim to continue. The infringement proceedings in Germany and France are continuing.

At this stage, each of the above matters is too preliminary to form a judgment as to whether an adverse outcome is probable, and we are unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any.

Other Contingencies

Under our Certificate of Incorporation, we have agreed to indemnify our officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is, or was, serving at our request in such capacity. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, we have a directors and officers liability insurance policy that covers a portion of our exposure. As a result of our insurance policy coverage, we believe the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is minimal. We haveno liabilities recorded for these agreements as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

We are periodically subject to loss contingencies resulting from customs duties assessments. We accrue for anticipated costs when an assessment has indicated that a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. We have received claims worth approximately $10 million to $11 million in principal, and $22 million to $23 million for interest and penalties. We are currently defending our position with respect to these claims in the respective administrative procedures. Due to uncertainty in the probability of settlement and the timing of our appeal, no liability is recorded as of September 30, 2025.

We will continue to evaluate these liabilities periodically based on available information, including the progress of legal proceedings, remedial investigations, the status of discussions with regulatory authorities regarding the methods and extent of remediation and the apportionment of costs and penalties among potentially responsible parties.

NOTE 13 –STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM

On October 10, 2024, we announced a share repurchase authorization of up to $500 million of common stock. This authorization replaces previous authorizations and has no expiration date. We may repurchase shares through the open market, privately negotiated transactions or other programs, subject to market conditions.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we repurchased approximately 286 thousand shares for $40.0 million and 1.3 million shares for $190.0 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we repurchased approximately 95 thousand shares for $14.2 million and 215 thousand shares for $31.3 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2025, there was $272.7 million for authorized share repurchases remaining under the existing authorization.

NOTE 14 –STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

We issue restricted stock units (“RSUs”), which consist of time-based and performance-based awards, to employees under stock awards plans approved by stockholders. In addition, RSUs are issued to non-employee directors under a Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement for Directors pursuant to the Company’s 2018 Equity Incentive Plan. RSUs granted to employees vest according to a specified performance period and/or vesting period. Time-based RSUs generally vest over three years. Performance-based RSUs vest at the end of the specified performance period, generally three years, assuming required performance or market vesting conditions are met.

For awards granted in the first quarter of 2023 and thereafter, our performance-based RSUs will vest based on our return on invested capital (“ROIC”). Award share payouts depend on the extent to which the ROIC performance goal has been achieved, but the final payout is adjusted by a total shareholder return (“TSR”) modifier.

At the time of vesting, the vested shares of common stock are issued in the employee’s name. In addition, RSU awards are generally net settled (shares are withheld to cover the employee tax obligation). RSUs granted to directors are only time-based and generally vest on or around the first anniversary of the date of grant.

The fair value of both time-based RSUs and performance-based RSUs pertaining to internal performance metrics is determined using the closing price of our common stock on the grant date. The fair value of performance-based RSUs pertaining to TSR is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation. Inputs and assumptions used to calculate the fair value are shown in the table below. The fair value of these RSUs is expensed over the vesting period using the straight-line method or using the graded vesting method when an employee becomes eligible to retain the award at retirement.

The actual tax benefit realized for the tax deduction from RSUs was approximately $9.8 million and $7.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of September 30, 2025, there was $51.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost relating to RSU awards which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years.

Historically we issued stock options to our employees and non-employee directors. We did not issue stock options between 2019 and 2022. Stock options were reinstituted in 2023 and valued based on the Black-Scholes model and generally vest ratably over three years and expire 10 years after grant.

The Company uses historical data to estimate expected life and volatility. The weighted-average fair value of stock options granted under the stock awards plans were $36.91 and $36.07 per share during the first nine months of 2025 and 2024, respectively. These values were estimated on the respective dates of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

The increase in stock option expense is due to the newly issued options as discussed above. Cash received from option exercises for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was approximately $14.9 million and $44.4 million, respectively. The actual tax benefit realized for the tax deduction from option exercises was approximately $3.8 million and $10.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of September 30, 2025, there was $5.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost relating to stock option awards which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years.

NOTE 15 –EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to Aptar by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to Aptar by the weighted-average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the applicable period. The difference between basic and diluted earnings per share is attributable to stock-based compensation awards. Stock-based compensation awards for which total employee proceeds exceed the average market price over the applicable period would have an antidilutive effect on earnings per share, and accordingly, are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share. The reconciliation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

NOTE 16 –SEGMENT INFORMATION

We are organized into three reporting segments. Operations that sell proprietary dispensing systems, drug delivery systems, sealing solutions and services to the prescription drug, consumer health care, injectables, active material science solutions and digital health markets form our Aptar Pharma segment. Operations that sell dispensing systems and sealing solutions to the beauty, personal care and home care markets form our Aptar Beauty segment. Operations that sell dispensing closures, sealing solutions and food service trays to the food, beverage, personal care, home care, beauty and other markets form our Aptar Closures segment. Aptar Pharma and Aptar Beauty are named for the markets they serve with multiple product platforms, while Aptar Closures is named primarily for a single product platform that serves all available markets.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Part II, Item 8, Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Our chief operating decision maker, ("CODM") is our President and Chief Executive Officer, Stephan Tanda. Our CODM is provided operating reports from each of our reportable segments which include or can be used to easily derive significant segment expenses identified as selling, research & development and administrative expenses and cost of sales by segment. Additionally, the other segment items is primarily comprised of foreign currency gains or losses from operations and other non-operating activity. Our CODM evaluates performance of our reporting segments and allocates resources based upon Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before net interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, unallocated corporate expenses, restructuring initiatives, acquisition-related costs, gain on remeasurement of equity method investment, unrealized investment gains and losses related to observable market price changes on equity securities and other special items. Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information regarding the performance of each segment as it reflects the profitability and performance of each segment on a consistent and comparable basis, and our CODM considers budget-to-actual variances on a monthly basis when making decisions supporting capital resource allocation, including in connection with development, acquisition and disposition activities in each segment.

Financial information regarding our reporting segments is shown below:

NOTE 17 –ACQUISITIONS

Business Combinations

BTY

On July 28, 2025, we executed our call option to purchase an additional 31% equity interest inthree related companies: Suzhou Hsing Kwang, Suqian Hsing Kwang and Suzhou BTY (collectively referred to as “BTY”) increasing our beneficial ownership to 80%, in exchange for cash consideration of $29.2 million with additional $7.4 million consideration that is included within accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet that settled on October 28, 2025. The BTY entities are leading Chinese manufacturers of high quality, decorative metal components, metal-plastic sub-assemblies, and complete color cosmetics packaging solutions for the beauty industry. We accounted for this acquisition as a business combination resulting in the consolidation of BTY within the Aptar Beauty segment in our financial statements. A redeemable non-controlling interest was recognized at fair value. Under the terms of the agreement, we have a call option to acquire the remaining equity interests of BTY based on a predetermined formula in three years. Additionally, the selling shareholder of BTY has a put option for the remaining equity interest to be acquired by Aptar based on a predetermined formula.

As a result of this acquisition, we remeasured our previously held minority equity interest in BTY at fair value resulting in a pre-tax gain of $26.5 million recognized in Gain from remeasurement of equity method investment on our Consolidated Statements of Income.The acquisition date fair value of the previously held minority equity interest was calculated by multiplying the gross-up of the total consideration for the acquired ownership interest by the related effective previously held equity interest of 49%.

The following table summarizes the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the BTY acquisition as of the acquisition date at the estimated fair value. As of September 30, 2025, we have not completed the analysis to assign fair values to all tangible and intangible assets acquired. As such, the preliminary purchase price allocation is subject to further refinement and may change.

The following table is a summary of the fair value estimates of the acquired identifiable intangible assets and weighted-average useful lives for the BTY acquisition as of the acquisition date:

Acquired technology5.4$4,876
Customer relationships14.411,145
License agreements and other43.25,447
Total$21,468

Goodwill in the amount of $71.7 million was recorded related to the BTY acquisition. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets acquired and represents the estimated future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. Goodwill acquired in the BTY acquisition largely consists of estimated future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized and is attributable to expected revenue growth as synergies within the company. Goodwill will not be amortized, but will be tested for impairment at least annually. For the BTY acquisition, no goodwill will be deductible for tax purposes. Acquisition costs of $0.6 million were incurred related to BTY during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Pro forma results of operations for this acquisition are not presented because the acquisition is not material to the Company's consolidated results of operations for the period ended September 30, 2025.

Sommaplast

On September 30, 2025 we entered into an agreement to purchase Sommaplast, a specialized provider of oral dosing pharma packaging solutions, such as droppers, dispensers and dosing cups, based in Brazil.

NOTE 20 –REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

The BTY purchase agreement includes a call option and a put option. The put option, held by the noncontrolling shareholder of BTY, provides the right to sell its remaining 20% interest in BTY to Aptar. The call option, held by Aptar, provides us the right to acquire from the noncontrolling shareholder the remaining 20% interest in BTY based on a predetermined formula subject to future negotiations. The call option and put option become exercisable in the third quarter of 2028 and remains outstanding indefinitely.

The noncontrolling interest is considered redeemable due to the existence of the put option as (i) the noncontrolling shareholder can put the BTY shares to Aptar, (ii) the put is outside Aptar's control; and (iii) it is probable of becoming redeemable solely based on the passage of time. The put and call options cannot be separated from the noncontrolling interest and did not require bifurcation from the noncontrolling interest under the guidance in ASC 815. Due to the redemption features, the noncontrolling interest is classified as redeemable noncontrolling interest within mezzanine equity on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. For additional information, see Note 17 - Acquisitions.

Redeemable noncontrolling interests are initially recorded at the issuance date fair value, as of the acquisition date of BTY. When redeemable noncontrolling interest becomes redeemable, or it is probable of becoming redeemable, its value is adjusted to the greater of current redemption value or carrying value. The redemption value is remeasured on a quarterly basis based on the predetermined formula set forth in the shareholder agreement. No adjustment was required to the redemption value as of September 30, 2025.

The following table presents a roll forward of the redeemable noncontrolling interests for the nine months ended September 30, 2025:
