NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying 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. Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

AptarGroup’s organizational structure consists ofthree market-focused business segments which are Pharma, Beauty and Closures. This is a strategic structure which allows us to better serve our customers and position us for long-term profitable growth.

Beginning July 1, 2018, we have applied highly inflationary accounting for our Argentinian subsidiary pursuant to U.S. GAAP. We have changed the functional currency from the Argentine peso to the U.S. dollar. We remeasure our peso denominated assets and liabilities using the official rate. The Blue Chip Swap rate has diverged significantly from Argentina’s “official rate” due to the economic environment. Our Argentinian operations contributed less than 0.4% and 1.1% of consolidated net assets and revenues, respectively, at and for the year ended December 31, 2025.

ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). This process requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

We consider all investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND CURRENT EXPECTED CREDIT LOSSES

At December 31, 2025, we reported $803.8 million of accounts receivable, net of CECL of $17.7 million. The allowance is estimated using reasonable and supportable information that is available at the reporting date about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. Changes in CECL were not material for the year ended December 31, 2025.

INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost of our inventories is determined by costing methods that approximate a first-in, first-out ("FIFO") basis. Costs included in inventories are raw materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead.

ACQUISITIONS

We account for business combinations using the acquisition method, which requires management to estimate the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and to properly allocate purchase price consideration to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is measured as the excess amount of consideration transferred, compared to fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. The allocation of the purchase price utilizes estimates and significant assumptions in determining the fair values of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, especially with respect to intangible assets. These estimates are based on all available information and in some cases assumptions with respect to the timing and amount of future revenues and expenses associated with an asset and are reviewed by consulting with outside valuation experts. The purchase price allocation for business acquisitions contains uncertainties because it requires management's judgment.

INVESTMENTS IN EQUITY SECURITIES

We account for our 20% to 50% owned investments using the equity method. Under the equity method, we initially record our investment at cost and our interest in the net assets of the investee is included in the equity method investment on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We recognize our equity in earnings in our equity method affiliates on a one-month lag basis and record our proportionate share of each investee's net income or loss into earnings after the date of investment, the adjustment of basis difference initially recognized and the other comprehensive income allocated to us from the investee. We evaluate the equity method investments for impairment under ASC 323. An impairment loss on the equity method investments is recognized in earnings when the decline in value is determined to be other-than-temporary.

Equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method are measured at fair value. Any related changes in fair value are recognized in net income unless the investments qualify for a practicality exception. There wereno dividends received from affiliated companies in 2025, 2024 or 2023.

REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTEREST

During the third quarter of 2025, we entered into an agreement with the 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 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 22 - Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests.

PROPERTY AND DEPRECIATION

Properties are stated at cost. Depreciation is determined on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives for financial reporting purposes and accelerated methods for income tax reporting. Generally, the estimated useful lives are 10 to 40 years for buildings and improvements and 3 to 15 years for machinery and equipment.

FINITE-LIVED INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Finite-lived intangibles, consisting of patents, acquired technology, customer relationships, trademarks and trade names and license agreements acquired in purchase transactions, are capitalized and amortized over their useful lives which range from 1 to 50 years.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

Long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment and finite-lived intangibles, are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. In those circumstances, we perform undiscounted operating cash flow analyses for asset groups at the lowest level for which cash flows are separately identifiable to determine if an impairment exists. Any impairment loss is calculated as the excess of the asset group’s carrying value over its estimated fair value. Fair value is estimated based on the discounted cash flows for the asset group over the remaining useful life or based on the expected cash proceeds for the asset group less costs of disposal.

GOODWILL

The Company evaluates the excess of purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired (“goodwill”) for impairment annually as of October 1 or more frequently if impairment indicators arise in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other.” We believe that the accounting estimates related to determining the fair value of our reporting units is a critical accounting estimate because: (1) it is highly susceptible to change from period to period because it requires management to make assumptions about the future cash flows for each reporting unit over several years, and (2) the impact that recognizing an impairment would have on the assets reported on our balance sheet as well as our results of operations could be material. Management’s determination of the fair value of our reporting units, based on future cash flows for the reporting units, requires judgment and the use of estimates and significant assumptions related to projected revenue growth rates, projected EBITDA margins, as well as the discount rate. Actual cash flows in the future may differ significantly from those forecasted today. The estimates and assumptions for future cash flows and its impact on the impairment testing of goodwill is a critical accounting estimate.

Management believes goodwill in purchase transactions has continuing value. Goodwill is not amortized and must be tested annually, or more frequently as circumstances dictate, for impairment. The annual goodwill impairment test may first consider qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not (i.e., greater than 50 percent chance) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its book value. This is sometimes referred to as the “step zero” approach and is an optional step in the annual goodwill impairment analysis. Management performed this qualitative assessment as of October 1, 2025 over all reporting units with the exception of Beauty and October 1, 2024 over all reporting units with the exception of Injectables and Other Pharma. As we performed our annual goodwill impairment assessment, due to events or circumstances that were unfavorable for the Beauty segment, management determined it appropriate to calculate the Step 1 fair value of the Beauty reporting unit and compare with its associated carrying amount as of October 1, 2025.

Based on our qualitative and quantitative analysis performed over the reporting units, we determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of these reporting units was greater than their carrying amounts and therefore no impairment of goodwill is required.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Derivative financial instruments are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value as either assets or liabilities. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded in each period in earnings or other comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative is designated and effective as part of a hedge transaction.

PURCHASE OF TREASURY STOCK

During 2025, 2024 and 2023, we repurchased 2.7 million,433 thousand and 399 thousand shares, respectively, all of which were returned to treasury stock. If retired, common stock is reduced by the number of shares retired at $0.01 par value per share. We allocate the excess purchase price over par value between additional paid-in capital and retained earnings.

RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES

Research and development costs, net of any customer funded research and development or government research and development credits, are expensed as incurred. These costs amounted to $105.1 million, $96.1 million and $92.8 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

INCOME TAXES

We compute taxes on income in accordance with the tax rules and regulations of the many taxing authorities where the 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 timing differences between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its 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: $160.0 million of 2025 earnings in France, all earnings in Germany and the pre-2020 earnings in Italy, Switzerland and Colombia. Under current U.S. tax laws, all of our non-U.S. earnings are subject to U.S. taxation on a current or deferred basis. We will provide for the necessary withholding tax, local income taxes, and U.S. federal and state income tax 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.

We provide a liability for the amount of unrecognized tax benefits from uncertain tax positions. This liability is provided whenever we determine that a tax benefit will not meet a more-likely-than-not threshold for recognition. See Note 6 – Income Taxes for more information.

We are subject to taxation and file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and many state and foreign jurisdictions. We believe that an adequate provision has been made for any adjustments that may result from tax examinations. 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 Consolidated Financial Statements.

We have elected to include amounts paid for transferable, non-refundable U.S. energy credits as income taxes paid in our table of income taxes paid. Refer to Note 6 - Income Taxes for further details.

TRANSLATION OF FOREIGN CURRENCIES

The functional currencies of the majority of our foreign operations are their local currencies. Assets and liabilities of our foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange on the balance sheet date. Sales and expenses are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. The related translation adjustments are accumulated in a separate section of Stockholders’ Equity. Realized and unrealized foreign currency transaction gains and losses are reflected in income, as a component of miscellaneous income and expense, and represented losses of $2.9 million, $2.0 million and $7.3 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Accounting standards require the application of the non-substantive vesting approach which means that an award is fully vested when the employee’s retention of the award is no longer contingent on providing future service. Under this approach, compensation costs are recognized over the requisite service period of the award instead of ratably over the vesting period stated in the grant. As such, costs are recognized immediately if the employee is retirement eligible on the date of grant or over the period from the date of grant until retirement eligibility if retirement eligibility is reached before the end of the vesting period stated in the grant. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur. See Note 16 – Stock-Based Compensation for more information.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

At inception of customer contracts, we assess the goods and services promised in order to identify a performance obligation for each promise to transfer a good or service (or bundle of goods or services) that is distinct. To identify the performance obligations, we consider all the goods or services promised in the contract, whether explicitly stated or implied based on customary business practices. For a contract that has more than one performance obligation, we allocate the total contract consideration to each distinct performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis. Revenue is recognized when (or as) the performance obligations are satisfied (i.e., when the customer obtains control of the good or service). The majority of our revenues are derived from product, tooling and service contract sales; however, we also receive revenues from license, exclusivity and royalty arrangements, which collectively are not material to the results. See specific discussions about methods of accounting for control transfers of product, tooling and service contract sales in Note 2 – Revenue.

LEASES

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating lease assets are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities are included in accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Finance leases are included in property, plant and equipment, current maturities of long-term obligations and long-term obligations in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. We use the implicit rate when readily determinable. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date of the lease in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU asset includes any lease payments made as well as initial direct costs incurred and excludes lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately. For certain equipment leases, we account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. We have elected not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities that arise from short-term leases (a lease whose term is 12 months or less and does not include a purchase option that we are reasonably certain to exercise).

Certain vehicle lease contracts include guaranteed residual value that is considered in the determination of lease classification. The probability of having to satisfy a residual value guarantee is not considered for the purpose of lease classification, but is considered when measuring a lease liability.

GOVERNMENT GRANTS

We record non-reimbursable government grants when there is reasonable assurance that we will comply with the relevant conditions of the grant agreement and the grant funds will be received. When a grant is received toward the purchase or construction of an asset, the funds received are recorded as a contra-asset and deducted from the cost of the related asset. Additionally, we record expenses net of reimbursements for government grants from a reimbursement of cost.

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 Consolidated Balance Sheets, and associated payments are included in operating activities within our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the amounts due to suppliers participating in the SCF and included inaccounts payable, accrued and other liabilities were approximately $32.0 million and $34.4 million, respectively.

Additions161,090160,847
Settlements(163,535)(162,755)
SCF obligations outstanding at the end of the year$31,956$34,401

To the extent our financial position allows and there is a clear financial benefit, we from time-to-time benefit from early payment discounts with some suppliers. While we have offered third party alternatives for our suppliers to receive payments sooner, we generally do not utilize these offerings from our customers as the economic conditions currently are not beneficial for us.

ADOPTION OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

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 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.

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 is required to be applied prospectively with the option of retrospective application. We adopted this guidance in the fourth quarter of 2025 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements; however we have expanded disclosures. See Note 6 - Income Taxes for further discussion.

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 Consolidated Financial Statements; however we have expanded disclosures. See Note 18 - Segment Information for further discussion.

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.

Other accounting standards that have been issued by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 REVENUE

In prior years, our geographic revenue disclosure was based on shipped from location. Beginning in 2024, we have started to report our geographic sales based on shipped to locations to give the reader a better understanding of the geographies we serve. Revenue by segment and geography based on shipped to locations for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:

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 are as follows:

Balance as of December 31, 2025Balance as of December 31, 2024Increase/(Decrease)
Contract asset (current)$11,600$12,571$(971)
Contract liability (current)74,82764,42510,402
Contract liability (long-term)49,90140,5519,350

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 2025 against contract liabilities is $162.1 million, including $60.9 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 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 as revenue. We apply the expected value method based on all of the information (historical, current, and forecast) that is reasonably available and identifies 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 it 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 toward 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 toward 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 December 31, 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.

Practical Expedients

Significant financing component: We elected not to adjust the promised consideration for the time value of money for contracts where the difference between the time of payment and performance is one year or less.

Remaining performance obligations: We elected not to disclose the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations for our contracts that are one year or less, as the revenue is expected to be recognized within the next year. In addition, we have elected not to disclose the expected consideration related to performance obligations where we recognize revenue in the amount it has a right to invoice (e.g., usage-based pricing terms).

NOTE 4 GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the year ended December 31, 2025 by reporting segment are as follows:

Balance as of December 31, 2025$538,703$370,848$168,347$1,077,898

We have completed the annual impairment analysis of our reporting units as of October 1, 2025. As we performed our annual goodwill impairment assessment, due to events or circumstances that were unfavorable for the Beauty segment, management determined it appropriate to calculate the fair value of the Beauty reporting unit and compare with its associated carrying amount as of October 1, 2025.

We estimated the fair value of the reporting unit based upon the present value of their estimated future cash flows. Our determination of fair value involved judgment and the use of estimates and significant assumptions related to projected revenue growth rates, projected EBITDA margins, as well as the discount rate to calculate estimated future cash flows. We believe that our assumptions used in discounting future cash flows are appropriate.

Based on our review of macroeconomic, industry, and market events and circumstances of the reporting units, as well as the overall financial performance including the discounted cash flow analysis for the Beauty reporting unit, we determined that it was more likely than not that the fair values of the reporting units were greater than their carrying amounts. No impairment was recognized during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 or 2023.

The table below shows a summary of intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

As further described in Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, the Company has elected to prospectively adopt the guidance in ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, or ASU 2023-09. The following table is a reconciliation of the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% to the Company’s effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2025 in accordance with the guidance in ASU No. 2023-09:

(1)The Company has elected to include U.S. foreign tax credits in the Cross Border tax section.

(2)The states that contribute to the majority (greater than 50%) of the tax effect in this category include New Jersey, Illinois and California.

The Company’s effective tax rate of 20.1% for the year ended December 31, 2025 is due primarily to benefits from the release of valuation allowances as a result of our revised assessment of the realization of tax losses in Brazil and Luxembourg, excess tax benefits on deductible share-based compensation 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.

As previously disclosed for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, prior to the adoption of ASU 2023-09, the effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate as follows:

Years Ended December 31,20242023
Income tax at statutory rate$98,651$78,713
State income taxes, net of federal tax effect1,439362
Excess tax benefits from share-based compensation(11,041)(5,935)

Other items, net(2,885)(1,684)
Actual income tax provision$95,587$90,649
Effective income tax rate20.3%24.2%

The provision for income taxes for 2023 includes a $3.6 million charge for taxes related to legal entity reorganizations to enhance our dividend and cash management capabilities. The provision for income tax is favorably impacted by excess tax benefits on deductible share-based compensation. The tax provision for 2024 reflects a $11.0 million benefit from this item compared with a $5.9 million tax benefit for 2023. During 2024, we were able to change our previous assessment on the realization of tax losses, and our need for a valuation allowance, in various jurisdictions due to sufficient positive evidence becoming available during the year. Our revised assessment of the realization of tax losses in Luxembourg resulted in a $11.0 million net tax benefit in 2024. Our mix of earnings has an unfavorable tax rate impact since a majority of our pretax income is earned in higher tax jurisdictions.

The amount of income taxes paid were as follows:

(1)The Company has elected to include amounts paid for transferable, non-refundable U.S. energy credits of $17.5 million, as income taxes paid.

For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, income taxes paid were $89.4 million and $112.0 million, respectively.

Significant deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 are composed of the following temporary differences:

We evaluate the deferred tax assets and record a valuation allowance when it is believed it is more likely than not that the benefit will not be realized. We have established a valuation allowance for $51.2 million of the $82.6 million of tax effected net operating loss carryforwards. These losses are generally in locations that have not produced cumulative three year operating profit. A valuation allowance of $5.0 million has also been established against the $7.0 million of U.S. state tax credit carryforwards.

There is no expiration date on $72.8 million of the tax-effected net operating loss carryforwards and $9.8 million (tax effected) will expire in the years 2026 to 2045. The U.S. state tax credit carryforwards of $7.0 million (tax effected) will expire in the years 2026 to 2039.

None of the earnings accumulated outside of the U.S. will be subject to U.S. taxation under the current U.S. federal income tax laws. We maintain our assertion that all other cash and distributable reserves at our non-U.S. affiliates will continue to be indefinitely reinvested, with the exception of $160.0 million of 2025 earnings in France, all earnings in Germany and the pre-2020 earnings in Italy, Switzerland and Colombia. We estimate the amount of additional local income tax and withholding tax that would be payable on distributions to be in the range of $20.0 million to $25.0 million if earnings accumulated outside the U.S. are repatriated to the U.S.

Income Tax Uncertainties

We provide a liability for the amount of tax benefits realized from uncertain tax positions. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of income tax uncertainties is as follows:

202520242023
Balance at January 1$5,792$5,942$6,919

As of December 31, 2025, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $8.9 million, which if recognized, would favorably impact our effective tax rate.

We recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income taxes. As of December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, we had approximately $4.0 million, $3.6 million and $3.4 million, respectively, accrued for the payment of interest and penalties, of which approximately $0.4 million, $0.2 million and $0.2 million was recognized in income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Aptar or its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. The major tax jurisdictions we file in, with the years still subject to income tax examinations, are listed below:

NOTE 7 DEBT

Short-term obligations

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

20252024
Short-term obligations 1.50% to 3.00%$31,314$—
Revolving credit facility 2.96%152,633176,035
$183,947$176,035

The short-term obligations of $31.3 million were acquired as part of the BTY acquisition and bear interest at rates ranging from 1.5% to 3.0%. These obligations have contractual maturities of less than one year and are therefore classified as short-term obligations within the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We have a revolving credit facility (the "revolving credit facility") with a syndicate of banks that provides us with unsecured financing of up to $600.0 million, which may be increased by up to $300.0 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, 2025, €130.0 million ($152.6 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 December 31, 2024, we utilized €170.0 million ($176.0 million) under the 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 incurred approximately $10.1 million and $9.5 million in interest and fees related to our credit facility and money market borrowing arrangement during 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Average borrowings under the amended revolving credit facility and money market borrowing arrangement were $237.7 million and $170.6 million for 2025 and 2024, respectively. The average annual interest rate on the amended revolving credit facility and money market borrowing arrangement was 3.9% and 5.1% for 2025 and 2024, respectively.

We also have an unsecured money market borrowing arrangement to provide short term financing of up to $30.0 million that is available in the U.S. No borrowing on this facility is permitted over a quarter end date. As such, no balance was utilized under this arrangement as of December 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024.

Long-Term Obligations

On November 20, 2025, we issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.75% Senior Notes due March 2031 in an underwritten public offering.

NOTE 8 LEASE COMMITMENTS

We lease certain warehouse, plant, and office facilities as well as certain equipment under noncancelable 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 (“SG&A”).

NOTE 9 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.

The following table presents the changes in the benefit obligations and plan assets for the most recent two years for our domestic and foreign plans.

During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 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 $0.1 million and $1.9 million, respectively. The components of net periodic benefit cost, other than the service cost component, are included in the line miscellaneous income (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The accumulated benefit obligation (“ABO”) for our domestic defined benefit pension plans was $168.5 million and $163.4 million at 2025 and 2024, respectively. The ABO for our foreign defined benefit pension plans was $90.6 million and $80.2 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Rate of compensation increase3.27%3.24%3.20%3.20%3.21%3.20%

We develop the expected long-term rate of return assumptions based on historical experience and by evaluating input from the plans’ asset managers, including the managers’ review of asset class return expectations and benchmarks, economic indicators and long-term inflation assumptions.

In order to determine the 2026 net periodic benefit cost, we expect to use the December 31, 2025 discount rates, December 31, 2025 rates of compensation increase assumptions and the same assumed long-term returns on domestic and foreign plan assets used for the 2025 net periodic benefit cost.

Our domestic and foreign pension plan weighted-average asset allocations at December 31, 2025 and 2024 by asset category are as follows:

Our investment strategy for our domestic and foreign pension plans is to maximize the long-term rate of return on plan assets within an acceptable level of risk. The investment policy strives to have assets sufficiently diversified so that adverse or unexpected results from one security type will not have an unduly detrimental impact on the entire portfolio and accordingly, establishes a target allocation for each asset category within the portfolio. The domestic plan asset allocation is reviewed on a quarterly basis and the foreign plan asset allocation is reviewed annually. Rebalancing occurs as needed to comply with the investment strategy. The domestic plan target allocation for 2026 is 64% equity securities and 36% fixed income securities and infrastructure. The foreign plan target allocation for 2026 is 100% investment funds.

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.

Contributions

Although we have no minimum funding requirement, discretionary cash contributions to fund pension costs accrued under our domestic plans are generally at least equal to the minimum funding amounts required by ERISA. We contributed $10.0 million to our domestic defined benefit plan in 2025. We do not plan to contribute to our domestic defined benefit plans in 2026. For the supplemental executive retirement plan (SERP), $0.9 million company paid benefits were made in 2025, and an expected $0.7 million are to be made in 2026. Contributions to fund pension costs accrued under our foreign plans are made in accordance with local laws or at our discretion. We contributed approximately $1.4 million to our foreign defined benefit plan in 2025 and expect to contribute approximately $1.6 million in 2026.

Estimated Future Benefit Payments

As of December 31, 2025, we expect the plans to make the following estimated benefit payments relating to our defined benefit plans over the next 10 years:

Domestic Plans · Foreign Plans
2026$10,665$5,803
202711,7534,259

Other Plans

We have a non-qualified supplemental pension plan for domestic employees which provides for pension amounts that would have been payable from our principal domestic pension plan if it were not for limitations imposed by income tax regulations. The liability for this plan, which is not funded, was $16.2 million and $14.2 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. This amount is included in the liability for domestic plans shown above.

We have a defined contribution 401(k) employee savings plan ("401(k) plan") available to substantially all domestic employees. Company matching contributions are made in cash up to a maximum of 3% of the participating employee’s salary subject to income tax regulations. For each of the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, total contributions made to these plans were approximately $5.4 million, $5.0 million and $5.0 million, respectively. As discussed above, domestic employees hired after December 31, 2020 will no longer be eligible for the pension plans and will instead receive an annual Aptar Retirement Savings Account contribution of 5% of their eligible earnings in the 401(k) plan. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, total contributions for these eligible employees was approximately $4.2 million, $3.3 million and $2.7 million, respectively.

We have several foreign defined contribution plans, which require us to contribute a percentage of the participating employee’s salary according to local regulations. For each of the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, total contributions made to these plans were approximately $3.2 million, $3.0 million and $3.1 million, respectively.

We have no additional postretirement or postemployment benefit plans.

NOTE 11 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 Consolidated Balance Sheets (See Note 12 – 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 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 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 $203.0 million of the $400.0 million 3.60% Senior Notes due March 2032, which were issued by AptarGroup, Inc. on March 7, 2022. This USD/EUR swap agreement exchanged $203.0 million of fixed-rate 3.60% USD debt to €200.0 million of fixed-rate 2.5224% EUR 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 €200.0 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 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 as the swaps are effective in hedging the designated risk. As of December 31, 2025, the fair value of the cross currency swap was a $32.5 million liability. The swap agreement will mature on September 15, 2029.

Other

As of December 31, 2025, we have recorded the fair value of foreign currency forward exchange contracts of $0.3 million in prepaid and other and $0.6 million in accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. All forward exchange contracts outstanding as of December 31, 2025 had an aggregate notional contract amount of $91.8 million.

NOTE 12 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 December 31, 2025, the fair values of our financial assets and liabilities were categorized as follows:

(2)Market approach valuation technique based on observable market transactions of spot and forward rates.

(3)Investment in convertible notes in Enable Injections, Inc. and Siklus Refill Pte, Ltd. The investments are included within Miscellaneous assets in our 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 $1.09 billion and $624.7 million as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

As discussed in Note 19 - Acquisitions, as part of the Sommaplast acquisition, we are also obligated to pay to the shareholders of Sommaplast certain contingent consideration based on 2025 and 2026 cumulative financial performance metrics as defined in the purchase agreement. We consider these obligations a Level 3 liability. Based on a projection as of the acquisition date, we estimated the aggregate fair value for this contingent consideration arrangement to be $4.0 million utilizing a Monte Carlo valuation model.

Changes in the fair value of these obligations are recorded within selling, research & development and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Income. Significant changes to the inputs, as noted above, can result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The following table provides a summary of changes in our Level 3 fair value measurements:

NOTE 13 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.

Purchase Commitments

We have various purchase commitments for raw materials, supplies, and property and equipment obtained in the normal course of business. As of December 31, 2025, we have unconditional purchase commitments of approximately $56.2 million of which the majority relate to open purchase orders for fixed assets over the next three years, for whichno liabilities have been recorded.

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 have no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of December 31, 2025.

A fire caused damage to our facility in Annecy, France in June 2016. We were insured for the damages caused by the fire, including business interruption insurance. In 2022, we filed a lawsuit against the insurance company to recover a part of our claim. We reached a settlement with the insurance company during the fourth quarter of 2023 for $6.6 million, which is recorded in miscellaneous (expense) income, net in our Consolidated Statements of Income.

We are periodically subject to loss contingencies resulting from custom 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 $11.0 million in principal and $22.0 million to $23.0 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 December 31, 2025.

We will continue to evaluate these liabilities periodically based on available information, including the progress of 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 14 STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM

On October 10, 2024, we announced a share repurchase authorization of up to $500.0 million of common stock. Subsequent to year end, the 2024 authorization was superseded on February 3, 2026, when the Board approved a new share repurchase authorization of up to $600.0 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.

In 2025, 2024 and 2023, we repurchased approximately 2.7 million,433 thousand and 399 thousand shares, respectively, of our outstanding common stock at a total cost of $365.0 million, $68.6 million and $47.6 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, there was $97.7 million of authorized share repurchases available to us.

NOTE 15 CAPITAL STOCK

We have 199 million authorized shares of common stock. The number of shares of common stock and treasury stock and the share activity were as follows:

The cash dividends paid on the common stock for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 aggregated $120.8 million, $114.1 million and $103.7 million, respectively.

NOTE 16 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 $9.9 million, $7.6 million and $5.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, there was $42.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost relating to RSU awards which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.7 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 for employees 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, respectively, for all employees during 2025 and 2024. The weighted-average fair value of stock options granted under the stock awards plans were $19.84 and $24.23 per share for executive officers and all other employees, respectively, during 2023. In 2023, Aptar executive officers received stock options with an exercise price that was 110% of the closing market price on the date of grant. The exercise price of the options granted in 2024 was $141.00. 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 was approximately $18.9 million, $54.8 million and $54.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The actual tax benefit realized for the tax deduction from option exercises was approximately $4.4 million, $13.2 million and $9.1 million in the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, there was $4.5 million of total unrecognized compensation cost relating to stock option awards which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years.

NOTE 17 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 (“EPS”) for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 are as follows:

NOTE 18 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 Pharma segment. Operations that sell dispensing systems and sealing solutions to the fragrance, facial skincare, color cosmetics, personal care and home care markets form our 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 Closures segment. The Pharma and Beauty segments are named for the markets they serve with multiple product platforms, while the Closures segment 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 Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. We adopted ASU 2023-07, Improvement to Reportable Segment Disclosures which requires enhanced segment disclosure. 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 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, net unrealized investment gains and losses related to observable market price changes on equity securities and other special items. Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information regarding performance of each segment as it reflects 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.

NOTE 19 ACQUISITIONS

Business Combinations

On December 1, 2025 we completed the acquisition of all the outstanding capital stock of Sommaplast, a specialized provider of oral dosing pharma packaging solutions, such as droppers, dispensers and dosing cups, based in Brazil. The aggregate purchase price was approximately $31.0 million (net of $0.7 million cash acquired), which includes $24.5 million in cash paid at closing, $2.5 million held in restricted cash and contingent consideration with a fair value of $4.0 million. The contingent consideration is payable upon achieving future financial performance milestones as defined in the purchase agreement. Based on a projection as of the acquisition date, we estimated the aggregate fair value for this contingent consideration arrangement utilizing a Monte Carlo valuation model. The restricted cash is pending the finalization of indemnity escrows and will be released in annual installments of 25% each over the next four years. The results of Sommaplast have been included in the consolidated financial statements within our Pharma segment since the date of acquisition. We are working to complete the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and have recorded a preliminary purchase price allocation as of December 31, 2025. Net assets acquired totaled $31.0 million. Within definite-lived intangible assets, we allocated $3.7 million to customer relationships which have an estimated useful life of 15 years. The fair value of customer relationships at the acquisition date was determined using the multi-period excess earnings method under the income approach. The fair value measurements are based on significant unobservable inputs, and thus represent Level 3 inputs. Significant assumptions used in assessing the fair values of the intangible assets include discounted cash flows, customer attrition rates and discount rates.

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 was paid 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 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 other 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.

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

The fair value of customer relationships at the acquisition date was determined using the multi-period excess earnings method under the income approach. The fair value measurements are based on significant unobservable inputs, and thus represent Level 3 inputs. Significant assumptions used in assessing the fair values of the intangible assets include the timing and amounts of cash flows projections, the revenue growth, the customer attrition rates, the EBITDA margins and the discount rate.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, we recognized $1.5 million in transaction costs related to the acquisitions of Sommaplast and BTY. These costs are reflected in the selling, research & development and administration section of the Consolidated Statements of Income and within acquisition-related costs as disclosed in Note 18 – Segment Information.

Goodwill in the amount of $81.1 million was recorded related to the 2025 acquisitions, of which $9.4 million is included in the Pharma segment and $71.7 million is included in the Beauty segment. 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 our 2025 acquisitions has expanded our portfolio of pharma packaging solutions in the Brazilian market and expanded our market opportunities, including strengthening our presence in China and the Middle East beauty markets. Goodwill will not be amortized, but will be tested for impairment at least annually. For 2025 and 2024 acquisitions, no goodwill will be deductible for tax purposes.

Pro forma results of operations for the 2025 acquisitions are not presented because the acquisitions are not material to the Company's consolidated results of operations for the period ended December 31, 2025.

Equity Method Investments

BTY

On July 28, 2025, we increased our beneficial ownership in BTY from 49% to 80%, effectively moving from equity accounting to consolidation. For additional information, see Note 19 - Acquisitions and Note 22 - Redeemable Controlling Interests. For the year to date period through July 28, 2025, prior to consolidation upon our call exercise, Aptar had purchases of $7.4 million from BTY. For the year ended December 31, 2024, Aptar had purchases of $11.4 million from BTY. As of July 28, 2025 and December 31, 2024, approximately $2.1 million and $2.5 million, respectively, was due to BTY and included in accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Goldrain

On October 22, 2024, we acquired 40% of the equity interests in Ningbo Jinyu Technology Industry Co., Ltd., doing business as Goldrain, a leading manufacturer of dispensing technologies in China for an approximate purchase price of $99.0 million. Goldrain is a leading manufacturer specialized in developing and producing packages for skin care, cosmetic, household, cleaning, personal care and perfumery products. Additionally, we noted an initial basis difference between our investment in the business and the amount recorded in Goldrain's equity of $82.7 million including equity method goodwill that will not be amortized. The future amortizable basis difference of $14.7 million as of December 31, 2024 was comprised of intangible assets which are being amortized on a straight line basis over a weighted average useful life of 11.8 years.

Other Investments

In prior years, we also invested, through a series of transactions, $3.0 million in PureCycle and received $0.7 million of equity in exchange for our resource dedication for technological partnership and support. In March 2021, PureCycle became a publicly-traded company and listed its common stock on Nasdaq under the ticker "PCT". At that time, our investment in PureCycle was converted into shares of common stock of PCT resulting in less than a 1% ownership interest. This investment is now recorded at fair value based on observable market prices for identical assets and the change in fair value is recorded as a net investment gain or loss in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Our remaining investment is subject to lockup conditions that will be released upon PCT's Ironton facility becoming operational and certified by Leidos, as such the duration of the lockup is unknown.

We have sold the following PCT shares related to the PureCycle investment for the year ended December 31, 2023:

Shares Sold · Proceeds · Realized Gain
2023510,449$5,604$4,188

No shares were sold during 2024 or 2025 related to PCT. On April 26, 2024, we received $0.2 million of equity from PureCycle in exchange for our resource dedication for technological partnership and support.

NOTE 21 RESTRUCTURING INITIATIVES

For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, we recognized $9.8 million, $13.0 million and $45.4 million, respectively, of restructuring costs related to our initiative to better leverage our fixed cost base through growth and cost reduction measures. The cumulative expense incurred as of December 31, 2025 was $74.5 million.

NOTE 22 –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 Consolidated Balance Sheets. For additional information, see Note 19 - 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 December 31, 2025.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of AptarGroup, Inc.

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of AptarGroup, Inc and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, including the related notes and schedule of valuation and qualifying accounts for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025 listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2) (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.

Basis for Opinions

The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

As described in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, management has excluded BTY and Sommaplast from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 because they were acquired by the Company in purchase business combinations during 2025. We have also excluded BTY and Sommaplast from our audit of internal control over financial reporting. BTY is an 80% owned consolidated subsidiary and Sommaplast is a wholly-owned subsidiary, whose total assets and total revenues excluded from management’s assessment and our audit of internal control over financial reporting collectively represent approximately 2% and 1%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Goodwill Impairment Assessment – Beauty Reporting Unit

As described in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s consolidated goodwill balance was $1,078 million as of December 31, 2025, and the goodwill associated with the Beauty reporting unit was $371 million. As disclosed by management, management evaluates goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis, or whenever indicators of impairment exist. Management calculated the fair value of the Beauty reporting unit and compared the fair value with the associated carrying amount as of October 1, 2025. Management estimated the fair value of the Beauty reporting unit based upon the present value of its estimated future cash flows. Management’s determination of the fair value involved judgment and the use of estimates and significant assumptions related to projected revenue growth rates, projected EBITDA margins, as well as the discount rate to calculate estimated future cash flows.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the goodwill impairment assessment of the Beauty reporting unit is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when developing the fair value estimate of the Beauty reporting unit; (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to projected revenue growth rates, projected EBITDA margins, and the discount rate; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management’s goodwill impairment assessment, including controls over the valuation of the Beauty reporting unit. These procedures also included, among others (i) testing management’s process for developing the fair value estimate of the Beauty reporting unit; (ii) evaluating the appropriateness of the valuation method used by management; (iii) testing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used in the valuation method; and (iv) evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used by management related to projected revenue growth rates, projected EBITDA margins, and the discount rate. Evaluating management’s assumptions related to projected revenue growth rates and projected EBITDA margins involved considering (i) the current and past performance of the Beauty reporting unit; (ii) the consistency with external market and industry data; and (iii) whether the assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in evaluating (i) the appropriateness of the valuation method and (ii) the reasonableness of the discount rate assumption.

Revenue Recognition – Product Sales

As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, product sales include the manufacturing and sale of drug and consumer product dosing, dispensing and protection technologies. The Company’s consolidated net sales were $3.78 billion for the year ended December 31, 2025, of which a majority relates to product sales. 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, management assesses, 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.

The principal consideration for our determination that performing procedures relating to revenue recognition for product sales is a critical audit matter is a high degree of auditor effort in performing procedures related to the Company’s revenue recognition for product sales.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the revenue recognition process, including controls over the recording of product sales when control of the goods transfers to the customer. These procedures also included, among others (i) testing the completeness and accuracy of certain data provided by management; (ii) testing certain revenue transactions by agreeing certain information between the sales order and related delivery document and billing document in the system, and where applicable, obtaining and inspecting source documents, such as invoices, sales contracts, shipping documents, and cash receipts; (iii) testing certain revenue transactions, on a sample basis, by obtaining and inspecting source documents, such as invoices, sales contracts, shipping documents, and cash receipts; (iv) testing credit memos, on a sample basis, by obtaining and inspecting source documents, such as credit memos, invoices, and customer correspondence; and (v) testing outstanding customer invoice balances as of December 31, 2025, on a sample basis, by either (a) confirming the outstanding customer invoice balance, and for confirmations not returned, obtaining and inspecting source documents, such as invoices, sales contracts, shipping documents, and subsequent cash receipts, or (b) obtaining and inspecting source documents, such as invoices, sales contracts, shipping documents, and subsequent cash receipts.
