West Announces First-Quarter 2022 Results and Declares Third-Quarter 2022 Dividend
- Conference Call Scheduled for 9 a.m. EDT Today -
Exton, PA, April 28, 2022 – West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. (NYSE: WST) today announced its financial results for the first-quarter 2022 and updated full-year 2022 financial guidance.
First-Quarter 2022 Summary (comparisons to prior-year period)
•Net sales of $720.0 million grew 7.4%; organic sales growth was 11.0%.
•Reported-diluted EPS of $2.29 increased 15.1%.
•Adjusted-diluted EPS of $2.30 increased 12.2%.
•The Company is reaffirming full-year 2022 financial guidance of net sales in a range of $3.050 billion to $3.075 billion. The Company is raising full-year 2022 financial guidance of adjusted-diluted EPS to a new range of $9.30 to $9.45, compared to a prior range of $9.20 to $9.35.
•The Company also announced that its Board of Directors has approved a third-quarter 2022 dividend of $0.18 per share. The dividend will be paid on August 3, 2022, to shareholders of record as of July 20, 2022.
“Adjusted-diluted EPS” and “organic sales growth” are Non-U.S. GAAP measurements. See discussion under the heading “Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures” in this release.
“We delivered a solid first-quarter 2022 and remain on track to increase capacity throughout the year to satisfy the growing demand for our high-value products (HVP),” said Eric M. Green, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our team members across the globe continue to demonstrate their passion to improve patient lives as they remain focused on executing our strategic initiatives despite macroeconomic challenges. Even with these challenges, and headwinds related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, we remain well positioned for continued net sales growth and margin expansion. We are reaffirming our full-year 2022 net sales guidance, raising our full-year organic sales growth guidance, and raising our full-year 2022 adjusted-diluted EPS guidance.”
Proprietary Products Segment
Net sales grew by 10.6% to $601.3 million. Organic sales growth was 14.4% with currency translation negatively impacting sales growth by 380 basis points. High-value products (components and devices) represented more than 70% of segment sales and generated double-digit organic sales growth, led by customer demand for NovaPure® and Westar® components.
The Biologics market unit had double-digit organic sales growth. The Pharma and Generics market units had high-single digit and mid-single digit organic sales growth, respectively.
Contract-Manufactured Products Segment
Net sales declined by 6.6% to $118.7 million. Organic sales decline was 3.8% with currency translation negatively impacted sales growth by 280 basis points. Segment performance was impacted by a decline of sales of components for diagnostic devices.
Financial Highlights
Operating cash flow was $151.2 million, an increase of 70.5%. Capital expenditures in the quarter were $65.8 million. Free cash flow (operating cash flow minus capital expenditures) was $85.4 million, an increase of 151.2%.
During the quarter, the Company repurchased 390,000 shares for $147.1 million at an average share price of $377.23 under its share repurchase program.
Full-Year 2022 Financial Guidance
•The Company is reaffirming full-year 2022 net sales guidance to be in a range of $3.050 billion to $3.075 billion.
◦Organic sales growth is expected to be in a range of 11% to 12%, compared to prior guidance of approximately 10%.
◦Net sales guidance, based on current foreign exchange rates, includes an estimated full-year 2022 headwind of $115 million, compared to prior guidance of a $70 million headwind.
•The Company is raising full-year 2022 adjusted-diluted EPS to be in a range of $9.30 to $9.45, compared to a prior range of $9.20 to $9.35.
◦Full-year adjusted-diluted EPS guidance range, based on current foreign currency exchange rates, includes an estimated headwind of $0.38, compared to prior guidance of a $0.21 headwind.
◦The revised guidance includes a $0.12 EPS positive impact from first-quarter tax benefits from stock-based compensation.
◦For the remaining quarters of the year, our EPS guidance range assumes a tax rate of 23% and does not include potential tax benefits from stock-based compensation. Any tax benefits associated with stock-based compensation beyond those recorded in the first-quarter 2022 would provide a positive adjustment to our full-year adjusted-diluted EPS guidance.
◦Full-year 2022 capital spending is expected to be $380 million. This includes incremental capital spending to support capacity expansions at existing HVP facilities.

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain forward-looking statements appear in this release and include such words as “raising,” “increase,” “growing,” “continue,” “remain,” “reaffirming,” “expected,” “to be,” “includes,” “estimated,” “assumes,” “would provide,” and other similar terminology. These statements reflect management’s current expectations regarding future events and operating performance and speak only as of the date of this release. There is no certainty that actual results will be achieved in-line with current expectations. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties. The following are some of the factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or underlying our forward-looking statements: the duration and severity of the global COVID-19 pandemic, including prevailing economic conditions and general uncertainties relating thereto that may be unknown and unforeseeable; customers’ changing inventory requirements and manufacturing plans and customer decisions to move forward with our new products and product categories, including any re-prioritization of product needs due to COVID-19; other potential impacts from COVID-19, including interruptions or weaknesses in our supply chain, illness in our workforce and access to transport for our products; average profitability, or mix, of the products we sell; dependence on third-party suppliers and partners; increased raw material costs; fluctuations in currency exchange; and the ability to meet development milestones with key customers. This list of important factors is not all inclusive. For a description of certain additional factors that could cause the Company’s future results to differ from those expressed in any such forward-looking statements, see Part I Item 1A , entitled “Risk Factors,” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Except as required by law or regulation, we undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures
For the purpose of aiding the comparison of our year-over-year results, we may refer to net sales and other financial results excluding the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Organic net sales exclude the impact from acquisitions and/or divestitures and translate the current-period reported sales of subsidiaries whose functional currency is other than the U.S. Dollar at the applicable foreign exchange rates in effect during the comparable prior-year period. We may also refer to financial results excluding the effects of unallocated items. The re-measured results excluding effects from currency translation and excluding the effects of unallocated items are not in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and should not be used as a substitute for the comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures. The non-U.S. GAAP financial measures are incorporated into our discussion and analysis as management uses them in evaluating our results of operations and believes that this information provides users a valuable insight into our overall performance and financial position. A reconciliation of these adjusted non-U.S. GAAP measures to the comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures is included in the accompanying tables.

15 Notes to Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures The Non-U.S. GAAP financial measures are incorporated into our discussion and analysis as management uses them in evaluating our results of operations and believes that this information provides users a valuable insight into our overall performance and financial position. A reconciliation of these adjusted Non-U.S. GAAP financial measures to the comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures is included in the accompanying tables. For the purpose of aiding the comparison of our year-over-year results, we may refer to net sales and other financial results excluding the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Organic net sales exclude the impact from acquisitions and/or divestitures and translate the current-period reported sales of subsidiaries whose functional currency is other than the U.S. Dollar at the applicable foreign exchange rates in effect during the comparable prior-year period. We may also refer to financial results excluding the effects of unallocated items. The re-measured results excluding effects from currency translation, the impact from acquisitions and/or divestitures, and the effects of unallocated items are not in conformity with U.S. GAAP and should not be used as a substitute for the comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures.

We have opted not to forecast 2022 tax benefits from stock-based compensation in upcoming quarters, as they are out of the Company’s control. Instead, we recognize the benefits as they occur. In the first-quarter 2022, tax benefits associated with stock-based compensation increased adjusted-diluted EPS by $0.12. Any future tax benefits associated with stock-based compensation that we receive in 2022 would provide a positive adjustment to our full-year EPS guidance. In 2021, tax benefits associated with stock-based compensation increased adjusted-diluted EPS by $0.41. WST Q1 2022 Earnings
