NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1:  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation: The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regulations. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, these financial statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations, cash flows and the change in equity for the periods presented. The condensed consolidated financial statements for the three month period ended March 31, 2013 should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. (which may be referred to as “West”, “the Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”), appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 (“2012 Annual Report”). The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

Reclassifications: Certain reclassifications were made to prior period financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.

Restructuring and Related Charges

Total restructuring and related charges incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2012 were associated with the restructuring plan announced in December 2010 (the "2010 plan"). These charges consisted of costs associated with the 2011 closure of a plant in the United States, the reduction of operations at a manufacturing facility in England and the elimination of certain operational and administrative functions at other locations. We do not expect to incur any future charges related to this plan.

We expect all payments to be completed by the end of 2013.

Other Items

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we recorded development income attributable to a Delivery Systems’ customer.

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we increased the liability for contingent consideration related to our 2010 acquisition of technology used in our SmartDose™ electronic patch injector system (“SmartDose contingent consideration”) by $0.2 million, due to fair value adjustments. The change in our SmartDose contingent consideration during the three months ended March 31, 2013 was immaterial.

Note 3:  Income Taxes

The tax provision for interim periods is determined using the estimated annual effective consolidated tax rate, based on the current estimate of full-year earnings before taxes, adjusted for the impact of discrete quarterly items. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, our effective tax rate was 22.0%, compared with 26.1% for the same period in 2012. The decrease in the effective tax rate primarily reflects the impact of the discrete tax item discussed below.

The American Taxpayers Relief Act of 2012, signed into law in January 2013, included a retroactive reinstatement of the research and development tax credit to January 1, 2012. As a result, and in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we recognized a $1.3 million discrete tax benefit in the first quarter of 2013.

During the first quarter of 2012, we recorded a $0.3 million reduction of our deferred tax assets associated with the legal restructuring of the ownership of our Puerto Rico operations.

Because we are a global organization, we and our subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. During 2012, the statute of limitations for the 2008 U.S. federal tax year lapsed, leaving tax years 2009 through 2012 open to examination. For U.S. state and local jurisdictions, tax years 2007 through 2012 are open to examination. We are also subject to examination in various foreign jurisdictions for tax years 2005 through 2012.

It is reasonably possible that, due to the expiration of statutes and the closing of tax audits, the liability for unrecognized tax benefits may be reduced by approximately $2.0 million during the next twelve months, which would favorably impact our effective tax rate. Accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits was $0.5 million at both March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Note 4:  Derivative Financial Instruments

Our ongoing business operations expose us to various risks such as fluctuating interest rates, foreign exchange rates and increasing commodity prices. To manage these market risks, we periodically enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps, options and foreign exchange contracts for periods consistent with and for notional amounts equal to or less than the related underlying exposures. We do not purchase or hold any derivative

9


financial instruments for speculation or trading purposes. All derivatives are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value.

Interest Rate Risk
  
In February 2013, we borrowed $42.8 million pursuant to a five-year term loan with a variable interest rate, related to the purchase of our new corporate office and research building. In anticipation of this debt, we entered into a forward-start interest rate swap for the same notional amount to hedge the variability in cash flows due to changes in the applicable interest rate over the stated period. Under this swap, we receive variable interest rate payments based on one-month London Interbank Offering Rates (“LIBOR”) plus a margin in return for making monthly fixed interest payments at 5.41%. We designated this swap as a cash flow hedge.

In addition, we have an interest rate swap agreement outstanding as of March 31, 2013, that is designated as a cash flow hedge to protect against volatility in the interest rate payable on $25.0 million of floating rate notes maturing on July 28, 2015 (“Series B Notes”). Under this swap, we receive variable interest rate payments based on three-month LIBOR in return for making quarterly fixed rate payments. Including the applicable margin, the interest rate swap agreement effectively fixes the interest rate payable on the Series B Notes at 5.51%.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk

During 2012, we entered into several foreign currency hedge contracts that were designated as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions denominated in foreign currencies, which are described in more detail below.

We entered into a series of foreign currency contracts intended to hedge the currency risk associated with a portion of our forecasted Japanese Yen (“Yen”) denominated purchases of inventory from Daikyo Seiko Ltd. (“Daikyo”) made by West in the United States. As of March 31, 2013, there were nine monthly contracts outstanding at ¥200.8 million ($2.5 million) each, for an aggregate notional amount of ¥1.8 billion ($22.5 million).

We also entered into a series of foreign currency contracts to hedge the currency risk associated with a portion of our forecasted U.S. dollar (“USD”) denominated inventory purchases made by certain European subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2013, there were nine monthly contracts outstanding at an average monthly amount of $1.2 million, for an aggregate notional amount of $10.4 million.

In addition we entered into a series of foreign currency contracts to hedge the currency risk associated with a portion of our forecasted Yen-denominated inventory purchases made by certain European subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2013, there were six monthly contracts outstanding at an average monthly amount of ¥39.0 million (approximately $0.4 million), for an aggregate notional amount of ¥234.0 million ($2.5 million).

Lastly, we entered into a series of foreign currency contracts to hedge the currency risk associated with a portion of our forecasted Euro-denominated sales of finished goods by one of our USD functional-currency subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2013, there were nine monthly contracts outstanding at $1.4 million each, for an aggregate notional amount of $12.6 million.

A portion of our debt consists of borrowings denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. We designated our €82.1 million Euro-denominated debt as a hedge of our net investment in certain European subsidiaries. A cumulative foreign currency translation loss of $2.6 million pre-tax ($1.6 million after tax) on this debt was recorded within accumulated other comprehensive loss as of March 31, 2013. We have also designated our ¥500.0 million Yen-denominated note payable as a hedge of our net investment in a Japanese affiliate. At March 31, 2013, there was a cumulative foreign currency translation gain on this Yen-denominated debt of $0.1 million pre-tax ($0.1 million after tax) which was also included within accumulated other comprehensive loss.


10


Commodity Price Risk

Many of our Packaging Systems products are made from synthetic elastomers, which are derived from the petroleum refining process. We purchase the majority of our elastomers via long-term supply contracts, some of which contain clauses that provide for surcharges related to fluctuations in crude oil prices. The following economic hedges did not qualify for hedge accounting treatment since they did not meet the highly effective requirement at inception.

In February 2013, we purchased a series of call options for a total of 58,000 barrels of crude oil to mitigate our exposure to such oil-based surcharges and protect operating cash flows with regard to a portion of our forecasted elastomer purchases during the months of July through December 2013. With these contracts we may benefit from a decline in crude oil prices, as there is no downward exposure other than the $0.1 million premium that we paid to purchase the contracts.

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we recorded an immaterial loss in cost of goods and services sold related to these outstanding call options.

Effects of Derivative Instruments on Financial Position and Results of Operations

Refer to Note 5, Fair Value Measurements, for the balance sheet location and fair values of our derivative instruments as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Note 5:  Fair Value Measurements

We define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.


11


The following fair value hierarchy classifies the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into one of three levels:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

The following tables present, by level within the fair value hierarchy, certain of our financial assets and liabilities:

Short-term investments, which are comprised of certificates of deposit and mutual funds, are valued using a market approach based on quoted market prices in an active market. Deferred compensation assets are included within other current assets and are also valued using a market approach based on quoted market prices in an active market. The fair value of our foreign currency contracts, included within other current assets and other current liabilities, is valued using an income approach based on quoted forward foreign exchange rates and spot rates at the reporting date. Commodity contracts are included within other current assets and are valued using an income approach. The fair value of deferred compensation liabilities is based on quoted prices of the underlying employees’ investment selections and is included within other long-term liabilities. Interest rate swaps, included within other long-term liabilities, are valued using a discounted cash flow analysis based on the terms of the contract and observable market inputs (i.e., LIBOR, Eurodollar forward rates and swap spreads). Refer to Note 4, Derivative Financial Instruments, for further discussion of our derivatives.

Quoted market prices are used to estimate the fair value of publicly traded long-term debt. The fair value of debt that is not quoted on an exchange is estimated using a discounted cash flow method based on interest rates that are currently available to us for debt issuances with similar terms and maturities. The carrying amount of long-term debt was $428.4 million and $378.8 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Level 3 Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of the SmartDose contingent consideration was determined at the acquisition date using a probability-weighted income approach, and is revalued at each reporting date or more frequently if circumstances dictate. Changes in the fair value of this obligation are recorded as income or expense within restructuring and other items in our condensed consolidated statements of income. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of our contingent consideration are the sales projections and the discount rate. Significant increases or decreases in any of those inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement. As development and commercialization of our SmartDose electronic patch injector system progresses, we may need to update the sales projections and the discount rate used. This could result in an increase or decrease to the contingent consideration liability.

The following table provides a summary of changes in our Level 3 fair value measurements:

We believe that the carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and short-term borrowings approximate their fair values due to their near-term maturities.

Please refer to Note 11, Debt, to the consolidated financial statements in our 2012 Annual Report for additional details regarding our debt agreements.

During the first quarter of 2013, we used a portion of our multi-currency revolving credit facility to repay our Euro note A that matured on February 27, 2013. At March 31, 2013, we had $113.8 million in outstanding borrowings under this facility, of which $5.3 million was denominated in Yen, $26.9 million in Euros and the remainder in USD. Of the total amount outstanding, $1.6 million was classified as short-term based upon our intent to repay this portion within the next twelve months and $112.2 million was classified as long-term based upon our intent and ability to continue the loans beyond one year.


14


In February 2013, upon settlement of our new corporate office and research building, we borrowed $42.8 million under a $50.0 million revolving credit facility, which was immediately converted to a five-year term loan due January 2018. Borrowings under this loan bear interest at a variable rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus a margin of 1.50 percentage points. A portion of this loan was used to pay the $35.3 million in outstanding obligations at December 31, 2012 related to the construction and acquisition of this new building.

In addition, in February 2013, we repurchased $1.7 million in aggregate principal amount of our 4.00% Convertible Junior Subordinated Debentures due 2047 (the “Convertible Debentures”). As a result, we recognized a pre-tax loss on debt extinguishment of $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013, the majority of which represented the premium paid over par value. Following the repurchase, approximately $1.4 million principal amount of Convertible Debentures remained outstanding.

Note 10:  Stock-Based Compensation

At March 31, 2013, there were 3,005,139 shares remaining in the 2011 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2011 Plan”) for future grants. The 2011 Plan provides for the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards and performance awards to employees and non-employee directors. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors determines the terms and conditions of awards to be granted.  Vesting requirements vary by award.

In the first quarter of 2013, we granted 450,681 stock options at a weighted average exercise price of $59.25 per share based on the grant-date fair value of our stock to key employees under the 2011 Plan. Stock options granted to employees vest in equal annual increments over four years of continuous service. All awards expire ten years from the date of grant. The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted was $11.42 per share as determined by the Black-Scholes option valuation model using the following weighted average assumptions: a risk-free interest rate of 0.89%; expected life of 6 years based on prior experience; stock volatility of 22.5% based on historical data; and a dividend yield of 1.3%. Stock option expense is recognized over the vesting period, net of forfeitures.

In addition, during the first quarter of 2013, we granted 86,840 performance-vesting share (“PVS”) awards at a weighted grant-date fair value of $59.25 per share to key employees under the 2011 Plan. Each PVS award entitles the holder to one share of our common stock if the annual growth rate of revenue and return on invested capital targets are achieved over a three-year performance period. The actual payout may vary from 0% to 200% of an employee’s targeted award. The fair value of PVS awards was based on the market price of our stock at the grant date and is recognized as an expense over the performance period, adjusted for estimated target outcomes and net of forfeitures.

Total stock-based compensation expense was $5.4 million and $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Note 12:  Segment Information

Our business operations are organized into two reportable segments, which are aligned with the underlying markets and customers they serve. Our reportable segments are the Pharmaceutical Packaging Systems segment (“Packaging Systems”) and Delivery Systems. Packaging Systems develops, manufactures and sells primary packaging components and systems for injectable drug delivery, including stoppers and seals for vials, closures and other components used in syringe, intravenous and blood collection systems, and prefillable syringe components. Delivery Systems develops, manufactures and sells safety and administration systems, multi-component systems for drug administration, and a variety of custom contract-manufacturing solutions targeted to the healthcare and consumer-products industries. In addition, Delivery Systems is responsible for the continued development and commercialization of our line of proprietary, multi-component systems for injectable drug administration and other healthcare applications.

Segment operating profit excludes general corporate costs, which include executive and director compensation, stock-based compensation, adjustments to annual incentive plan expense for over- or under-attainment of targets, certain pension and other retirement benefit costs, and other corporate facilities and administrative expenses not allocated to the segments. Also excluded are items that management considers not representative of ongoing operations. Such items are referred to as other unallocated items and generally include restructuring and related charges, certain asset impairments and other specifically-identified income or expense items.

The intersegment sales elimination, which is required for the presentation of consolidated net sales, represents the elimination of components sold between our segments.

During the first quarter of 2013, in connection with the repurchase of our Convertible Debentures, we recognized a pre-tax loss on debt extinguishment of $0.2 million, the majority of which represented the premium paid over par value. Refer to Note 7, Debt, for additional details.

Note 13:  Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, we are involved in product liability matters and other legal proceedings and claims generally incidental to our normal business activities. We accrue for loss contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. While the outcome of current proceedings cannot be accurately predicted, we believe their ultimate resolution should not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

There have been no significant changes to the commitments and contingencies included in our 2012 Annual Report.

Note 14:  New Accounting Standards

Recently Adopted Standards

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued guidance for the reporting of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI"). The guidance does not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements; however, it requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of AOCI by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of AOCI by the respective line items of net income, but only if the amount reclassified is

18


required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. We adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2013, on a prospective basis. This adoption did not have a material impact on our financial statements. Please refer to Note 9, Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss, for additional details.

In July 2012, the FASB issued guidance for the impairment testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets. The guidance permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test. This guidance was effective for us as of January 1, 2013 and will be considered when performing our annual impairment testing. Management believes that the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Standards Issued Not Yet Adopted

In March 2013, the FASB issued guidance that clarifies the application of U.S. GAAP to the release of cumulative translation adjustments related to changes of ownership in or within foreign entities, including step acquisitions. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2013, and subsequent interim periods. Management believes that the adoption of this guidance will not have an impact on our financial statements.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

The following discussion is intended to further the reader’s understanding of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of our Company. It should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our 2012 Annual Report. These historical financial statements may not be indicative of our future performance. This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains a number of forward-looking statements, all of which are based on our current expectations and could be affected by the uncertainties and risks discussed in Part I, Item 1A of our 2012 Annual Report and in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Throughout this section, references to “Notes” refer to the footnotes to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, unless otherwise indicated.

Our Operations

Our business operations are organized into two reportable segments, which are aligned with the underlying markets and customers they serve. Our reportable segments are Packaging Systems and Delivery Systems. Packaging Systems develops, manufactures and sells primary packaging components and systems for injectable drug delivery, including stoppers and seals for vials, closures and other components used in syringe, intravenous and blood collection systems, and prefillable syringe components. Delivery Systems develops, manufactures and sells safety and administration systems, multi-component systems for drug administration, and a variety of custom contract-manufacturing solutions targeted to the healthcare and consumer-products industries. In addition, Delivery Systems is responsible for the continued development and commercialization of our line of proprietary, multi-component systems for injectable drug administration and other healthcare applications. We also maintain global partnerships to share technologies and market products with affiliates in Japan and Mexico.

First Quarter 2013 Financial Performance Highlights
Net sales were $339.4 million, an increase of 7.3% from the same period in 2012 (7.2% excluding foreign currency effects).
Gross profit was $111.7 million, an increase of 10.5% from the same period in 2012, and our gross margin increased by one percentage point to 32.9%.
Operating profit was $43.3 million, an increase of 3.8% from the same period in 2012
Net income was $31.7 million, an increase of 8.6% from the same period in 2012.

We achieved higher net sales in both the Packaging Systems and Delivery Systems segments during the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to the same period in 2012. The overall sales growth was primarily the result of a favorable mix of products. Net sales originating in the United States were $150.6 million, an increase of 5.9% from the same period in 2012, primarily due to increases in Daikyo Crystal Zenith® ("CZ") and contract manufacturing sales and a higher domestic demand for pharmaceutical packaging components. Net sales generated outside of the United States were $188.8 million, an increase of 8.4% from the same period in 2012, reflecting continued growth and demand, particularly in Europe. Excluding the favorable effects from currency translation, our non-U.S. net sales increased 8.2% and our consolidated net sales increased 7.2% from the same period in 2012.

20


Gross profit increased by $10.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to the same period in 2012, primarily due to a favorable mix of products sold. Sales price increases and improved production efficiencies also increased gross profit, however, these favorable items were significantly offset by the impact of increased raw material costs and increased wages, benefits and other costs.

Operating profit increased by $1.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to the same period in 2012, primarily due to the increase in consolidated gross profit described above, a decrease in restructuring and other items, and development income of approximately $0.3 million, partially offset by increases in R&D and SG&A costs and a charge of approximately $0.7 million related to the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar.

Net income increased by $2.5 million, and diluted net income per share increased by $0.09 per diluted share, during the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to the same period in 2012. Net income and diluted net income per share for the three months ended March 31, 2013 included a loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.2 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, resulting from a repurchase of our Convertible Debentures, and a discrete tax benefit of $1.3 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, related to the reinstatement of the Research and Development tax credit in January 2013. Net income and diluted net income per share for the three months ended March 31, 2012 included $0.7 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, in restructuring and related charges, an increase in acquisition-related contingencies, and a discrete tax charge.

Business Outlook

We anticipate continued revenue improvement driven by customers moving up the product quality and value scale in Packaging Systems and increasing growth in Delivery Systems' proprietary products, as customers accelerate their pre-commercial efforts. In particular, we continue to focus on the expansion of our high-value closure products and proprietary delivery systems, including CZ-based containment systems. We continue to believe that actions taken in recent years to increase capacity for certain products, reduce costs through restructuring and lean savings efforts, and expand into emerging markets will lead to improved profitability as global demand increases. We plan to continue funding capital projects related to new products, expansion activity, and emerging markets for Packaging Systems and for new, proprietary products within Delivery Systems. We believe that our operating results and financial position give us a platform for sustained growth, and will enable us to take advantage of opportunities to invest in our business as they arise.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We evaluate the performance of our segments based upon, among other things, segment net sales and operating profit. Segment operating profit excludes general corporate costs, which include executive and director compensation, stock-based compensation, adjustments to annual incentive plan expense for over- or under-attainment of targets, certain pension and other retirement benefit costs, and other corporate facilities and administrative expenses not allocated to the segments. Also excluded are items that management considers not representative of ongoing operations. Such items are referred to as other unallocated items and generally include restructuring and related charges, certain asset impairments and other specifically-identified income or expense items.


21


For the purpose of aiding the comparison of our year-over-year results, we often refer to net sales and other financial results excluding the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The constant-currency amounts are calculated by translating the current year’s functional currency results at the prior-year period’s exchange rate. These re-measured results excluding effects from currency translation are not in conformity with U.S. GAAP and should not be used as a substitute for the related 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 results.

Percentages in the following tables and throughout the Results of Operations section may reflect rounding adjustments.

Packaging Systems – Packaging Systems’ net sales increased by $15.8 million, or 6.7%, for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to the same period in 2012, including a favorable foreign exchange impact of $0.3 million. Excluding foreign exchange effects, net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased by $15.5 million, or 6.6%, as compared to the same period in 2012, primarily due to continued strong growth in sales of our higher-quality product offerings that reduce particulate contamination and create efficiencies in our customer's manufacturing processes, including ready-to-use seals, stoppers and plungers and FluroTec™-coated closures. Sales price increases contributed 2.4 percentage points of the increase.

Delivery Systems – Delivery Systems’ net sales increased by $7.5 million, or 9.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to the same period in 2012, including a favorable foreign exchange impact of $0.1 million. Excluding foreign exchange effects, net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased by $7.4 million, or 9.1%, as compared to the same period in 2012, primarily due to increases in CZ sales, contract manufacturing sales, and administration systems sales. Sales price increases contributed one percentage point of the increase.

Consolidated net sales increased by $23.1 million, or 7.3%, for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to the same period in 2012, including a favorable foreign exchange impact of $0.4 million. Excluding foreign currency effects, net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased by $22.7 million, or 7.2%, as compared to the same period in 2012.

The intersegment sales elimination, which is required for the presentation of consolidated net sales, represents the elimination of components sold between our segments.

Packaging Systems – Packaging Systems’ gross profit increased by $9.6 million, or 11.3%, for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to the same period in 2012, including a favorable foreign exchange impact of $0.2 million. Packaging Systems’ gross margin increased by 1.6 percentage points for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to the same period in 2012, primarily as a result of a favorable mix of products sold. Sales price increases and improved production efficiencies also increased Packaging Systems’ gross margin, however, these favorable items were substantially offset by the impact of increased raw material costs and increased wages, benefits and other costs.

Delivery Systems – Delivery Systems’ gross profit increased by $1.0 million, or 6.3%, for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to the same period in 2012. Delivery Systems’ gross margin decreased by 0.6 percentage points for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to the same period in 2012, primarily due to the gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2012, which included a cost reimbursement payment from a customer for previously-incurred costs.

Consolidated gross profit increased by $10.6 million, or 10.5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to the same period in 2012, including a favorable foreign exchange impact of $0.2 million. Consolidated gross margin increased by one percentage point for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to the same period in 2012.

Packaging Systems' SG&A costs increased by $3.2 million, or 11.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to the same period in 2012, primarily as a result of an increase in other compensation costs related to annual compensation increases and headcount increases and incremental costs related to information technology projects and outside services, such as supply chain initiatives, all of which were partially offset by foreign currency translation effects, which decreased Packaging Systems' SG&A costs by $0.2 million.

Delivery Systems' SG&A costs increased by $1.7 million, or 19.3%, for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to the same period in 2012, primarily as a result of an increase in other compensation costs related to annual compensation increases and headcount increases and incremental costs related to outside services, such as legal costs and sales commissions.

Corporate’s SG&A costs increased by $2.9 million, or 21.3%, for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to the same period in 2012, primarily due to increases in stock-based compensation expense and intellectual property-related costs. The increase in stock-based compensation expense of $2.2 million was primarily due to the impact of higher share prices on our deferred compensation plan liabilities, which are indexed to our share price.

Consolidated SG&A costs increased by $7.8 million, or 15.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to the same period in 2012.

Other income and expense items, consisting primarily of foreign exchange transaction gains and losses, gains and losses on the sale of fixed assets, and miscellaneous income and charges, such as development income and the charge related to the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar, are generally recorded within segment or corporate results. Certain restructuring, impairments and other specifically-identified gains and losses considered outside of the control of segment management are not allocated to our segments.

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we incurred restructuring and related charges of $0.4 million associated with the 2010 plan. Charges incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2012 were primarily facility closure costs associated with a reduction of operations at a manufacturing facility in England and the 2011 closure of a plant in the United States. We do not expect to incur any future charges related to the 2010 plan, and the remaining restructuring obligations at March 31, 2013 will be reduced to zero as payments are made.

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we increased the SmartDose contingent consideration by an immaterial amount due to fair value adjustments. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we increased the SmartDose contingent consideration by $0.2 million due to fair value adjustments.

Corporate – Corporate’s operating loss increased by $2.9 million, or 21.3%, for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to the same period in 2012, due to the factors described above.

Consolidated operating profit increased by $1.6 million, or 3.8%, for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Loss on Debt Extinguishment

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we repurchased $1.7 million in aggregate principal amount of our Convertible Debentures, resulting in a pre-tax loss on debt extinguishment of $0.2 million, the majority of which consisted of the premium over par value.

Interest expense, net, increased by $0.1 million, or 2.6%, for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to the same period in 2012, primarily due to decreased capitalized interest resulting from the completion of certain capital projects.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was $8.6 million and $9.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 22.0% and 26.1%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2013 primarily reflects the impact of a discrete tax benefit of $1.3 million related to the reinstatement of the Research and Development tax credit in January 2013. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, although the tax credit was reinstated on a retroactive basis to January 1, 2012, the credit was not taken into account for financial reporting purposes until 2013. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we recorded a $0.3 million reduction of our deferred tax assets associated with the legal restructuring of the ownership of our Puerto Rico operations.

Equity in Net Income of Affiliated Companies

Equity in net income of affiliated companies represents the contribution to earnings from our 25% ownership interest in Daikyo and our 49% ownership interest in four companies in Mexico. Equity in net income of affiliated companies was $1.2 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

Net Income

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $31.7 million, which included a loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.2 million and a discrete tax benefit of $1.3 million. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $29.2 million, which included restructuring and related charges of $0.3 million (net of $0.1 million in tax), an increase in acquisition-related contingencies of $0.1 million (net of $0.1 million in tax), and a discrete tax charge of $0.3 million.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities – Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $18.9 million, an increase of $5.1 million from the same period in 2012. Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased primarily due to the increase in net income and a lower level of pension funding, both of which were partially offset by higher working capital requirements.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities – Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $57.7 million, an increase of $25.8 million from the same period in 2012. Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased primarily due to a $29.3 million increase in capital spending, to $61.7 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The majority of the increased capital spending was related to construction of our new corporate office and research building, which began in 2011 and settled in February 2013, information technology infrastructure improvements, and construction of our new compression-molding plant in China, for which we expect commercial production to begin by mid-year 2013. The capital spending increase was partially offset by the change in our short-term investment activity. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we sold $9.6 million, and purchased $5.4 million, of short-term investments. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we sold $4.8 million, and purchased $4.6 million, of short-term investments. The short-term investments represent certificates of deposit, primarily in Israel, with maturities between three and nine months.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities – Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $55.5 million, an increase of $31.3 million from the same period in 2012. Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased primarily as we borrowed $42.8 million to finance the construction and acquisition of our new corporate office and research building and as we entered into Euro-denominated debt of $27.4 million under our multi-currency revolving credit facility. Both increases were partially offset by our $26.6 million repayment of Euro note A. We used cash generated from operations and net borrowings to fund the repurchase of our Convertible Debenture, working capital needs, capital expenditures, and to pay dividends.

Cash and cash equivalents include all instruments that have maturities of ninety days or less when purchased. Short-term investments include all instruments that have maturities between ninety-one days and one year when purchased. Working capital is defined as current assets less current liabilities. Net debt is defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents, and total invested capital is defined as the sum of net debt and total equity.

Cash and cash equivalents – Our cash and cash equivalents balance at March 31, 2013 consisted of cash held in cash depository accounts with banks around the world and cash invested in high quality, short-term investments. The cash and cash equivalents balance at March 31, 2013 included $162.3 million of cash held by subsidiaries outside of the United States, primarily in Germany, Israel, and Singapore, which is available to fund operations and growth of non-U.S. subsidiaries. Bringing the cash into the United States could trigger U.S. federal, state and local income tax obligations; however, we may temporarily access cash held by our non-U.S. subsidiaries without becoming subject to U.S. income tax by entering into short-term intercompany loans.

Working capital - Working capital at March 31, 2013 increased by $86.1 million, or 29.1%, during the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to December 31, 2012, despite a decrease of $6.3 million due to foreign currency translation. Excluding the impact of currency exchange rates, cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and inventories increased by $16.7 million, $17.7 million and $13.8 million, respectively, and total current liabilities decreased by $49.9 million. The increased accounts receivable and inventory balances were primarily the result of increased sales order activity, while the decrease in current liabilities was primarily due to our $26.6 million repayment of Euro note A, which we refinanced using a portion of our multi-currency revolving credit facility, and decreases in accounts payable and accrued salaries, wages and benefits.

Debt and credit facilities - The $18.6 million increase in total debt at March 31, 2013, as compared to December 31, 2012, resulted from net borrowings and related debt activity of $22.6 million, partially offset by foreign exchange rate fluctuations of $4.0 million.

Our sources of liquidity include our multi-currency revolving credit facility, which expires in April 2017 and contains a $300.0 million committed credit facility and an accordion feature allowing the maximum to be increased through a term loan to $350.0 million upon approval by the banks. Up to $30.0 million of the credit facility is available for swing-line loans and up to $30.0 million is available for the issuance of letters of credit. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.25 to 2.25 percentage points, which is based on the ratio of our senior debt to modified EBITDA. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we used a portion of our multi-currency revolving credit facility to repay our Euro note A that matured on February 27, 2013. At March 31, 2013, we had $113.8 million in outstanding borrowings under this facility, of which $1.6 million was classified as short-term based upon our intent to repay this portion within the next twelve months and $112.2 million was classified as long-term based upon our intent and ability to continue the loans beyond one year. We had $182.6 million of borrowing capacity available under this facility at March 31, 2013. We do not expect any significant limitations on our ability to access this source of funds.

28



In February 2013, upon settlement of our new corporate office and research building, we borrowed $42.8 million under a $50.0 million revolving credit facility, which was immediately converted to a five-year term loan. Borrowings under the loan bear interest at a variable rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus a margin of 1.50 percentage points. A portion of this loan was used to pay the $35.3 million in outstanding obligations at December 31, 2012 related to the construction and acquisition of the new building.

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we repurchased $1.7 million in aggregate principal amount of our Convertible Debentures, resulting in a pre-tax loss on debt extinguishment of $0.2 million, the majority of which consisted of the premium over par value.

Pursuant to the financial covenants in our debt agreements, we are required to maintain established interest coverage ratios and to not exceed established leverage ratios. In addition, the agreements contain other customary covenants, none of which we consider restrictive to our operations. At March 31, 2013, we were in compliance with all of our debt covenants.

We believe that cash on hand and cash generated from operations, together with availability under our multi-currency revolving credit facility, will be adequate to address our foreseeable liquidity needs based on our current expectations of our business operations, capital expenditures and scheduled payments of debt obligations.

Contingent Consideration

The fair value of the SmartDose contingent consideration was determined at the acquisition date using a probability-weighted income approach, and is revalued at each reporting date or more frequently if circumstances dictate. Changes in the fair value of this obligation are recorded as income or expense within restructuring and other items in our condensed consolidated statements of income. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of our contingent consideration are the sales projections and the discount rate used in the calculation. Significant increases or decreases in any of those inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement. As development and commercialization of our SmartDose electronic patch injector system progresses, we may need to update the sales projections and the discount rate used. This could result in an increase or decrease to the contingent consideration liability.

Commitments and Contractual Obligations

A table summarizing the amounts and estimated timing of future cash payments resulting from commitments and contractual obligations was provided in our 2012 Annual Report. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, there were no material changes outside of the ordinary course of business to our commitments and contractual obligations.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

At March 31, 2013, we had no off-balance sheet financing arrangements other than operating leases, unconditional purchase obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business and outstanding letters of credit related to various insurance programs, as noted in our 2012 Annual Report.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

For information on new accounting standards that were adopted, and those issued but not yet adopted, during the three months ended March 31, 2013, and the impact, if any, on our financial position or results of operations, see Note 14, New Accounting Standards.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

We and our representatives may, from time-to-time, make certain forward-looking statements in publicly-released materials, both written and oral, including statements contained in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, press releases and our reports to shareholders. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “plan,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “will,” “anticipate,” “estimate” and other words of similar meaning in conjunction with, among other things, discussions of future operations and financial performance, as well as our strategy for growth, product development, market position and expenditures.  All statements that address operating performance or events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future — including statements relating to sales and earnings per share growth, cash flows or uses, and statements expressing views about future operating results — are forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations of future events. The forward-looking statements are, and will be, based on management’s then-current views and assumptions regarding future events and operating performance, and speak only as of their dates. Investors should realize that, if underlying assumptions prove inaccurate or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, actual results could vary materially from our expectations and projections. Investors are therefore cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.

The following are some important factors that could cause our actual results to differ from our expectations in any forward-looking statements. For further discussion of these and other factors, see the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A of our 2012 Annual Report and Part II, Item 1A of this Form 10-Q.
sales demand and our ability to meet that demand;
competition from other providers in our businesses, including customers’ in-house operations, and from lower-cost producers in emerging markets, which can impact unit volume, price and profitability;
customers’ changing inventory requirements and manufacturing plans that alter existing orders or ordering patterns for the products we supply to them;
the timing, regulatory approval and commercial success of customer products that incorporate our packaging and delivery products and systems, including but not limited to CZ prefilled syringes, cartridges and vials, and the ConfiDose®, SelfDose™, SmartDose and éris systems;
whether customers agree to incorporate West’s products and delivery systems with their new and existing drug products, the ultimate timing and successful commercialization of those products and systems, which involves substantial evaluations of the functional, operational, clinical and economic viability of the Company’s products, and the rate, timing and success of regulatory approval for the drug products that incorporate the Company’s components and systems;
the timely and adequate availability of filling capacity, which is essential to conducting definitive stability trials and the timing of first commercialization of customers’ products in CZ prefilled syringes;
average profitability, or mix, of products sold in any reporting period, including lower-than-expected sales growth of our high-value pharmaceutical packaging products, of CZ products, and of other proprietary safety and administration devices;
maintaining or improving production efficiencies and overhead absorption;
dependence on third-party suppliers and partners, some of which are single-source suppliers of critical materials and products, including our Japanese partner and affiliate, Daikyo;
the availability and cost of skilled employees required to meet increased production, managerial, research and other needs, including professional employees and persons employed under collective bargaining agreements;

30


interruptions or weaknesses in our supply chain, which could cause delivery delays or restrict the availability of raw materials, key purchased components and finished products;
the successful and timely implementation of price increases necessary to offset rising production costs, including raw material prices, particularly petroleum-based raw materials;
the cost and progress of development, regulatory approval and marketing of new products as a result of our research and development efforts;
the relative strength of the U.S. dollar in relation to other currencies, particularly the Euro, British Pound, Danish Krone, Singapore Dollar, and Japanese Yen; and
the potential adverse effects of recently-enacted U.S. healthcare legislation on customer demand, product pricing and profitability.

This list sets forth many, but not all, of the factors that could affect our ability to achieve results described in any forward-looking statements. Investors should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all of the factors and should not consider this list to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Except as required by law or regulation, we do not intend to update any forward-looking statements.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no material changes in our exposure to market risk or the information provided in Part II, Item 7A of our 2012 Annual Report, except as noted below.

Interest Rate Risk

During the first quarter of 2013, we used a portion of our multi-currency revolving credit facility to repay our Euro note A that matured on February 27, 2013.

In addition, in February 2013, we repurchased $1.7 million in aggregate principal amount of our Convertible Debentures.

Refer to Note 7, Debt, for additional information on these transactions.

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls are controls and procedures designed to reasonably ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this quarterly report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure Controls include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our Disclosure Controls include some, but not all, components of our internal control over financial reporting.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of March 31, 2013, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
