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 and nine month periods ended September 30, 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.

Stock Split: On August 1, 2013, our Board of Directors approved a two-for-one stock split of our outstanding shares of common stock, effected in the form of a stock dividend. The record date for the stock split was September 12, 2013, and the share distribution occurred on September 26, 2013. All share and per share amounts presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the impact of this stock split.

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 and nine months ended September 30, 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.

During the third quarter of 2012, we finalized an agreement concerning future manufacturing and supply requirements at our manufacturing facility in England, which triggered an impairment review of the related assets. Our review concluded that the estimated fair value of the assets no longer exceeded their carrying value, and therefore, an impairment charge of $1.5 million was recorded. We estimated the fair value of the assets using an income approach based on discounted cash flows. Offsetting the costs incurred in the third quarter of 2012 were reductions to certain previously-recorded obligations under the 2010 plan, including a reduction of $1.7 million following the cancellation of the restructuring initiative at one of our plants in Europe as a result of increased customer demand for products and related efficiency improvements at that plant.

We have not incurred any restructuring and related charges during 2013, and we do not expect to incur any future charges related to the 2010 plan.

The following table presents activity related to our restructuring obligations:

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

Other Items

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recorded development income of $0.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively, within the Pharmaceutical Delivery Systems segment ("Delivery Systems"). Included in these amounts was $0.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively, of income related to a nonrefundable payment of $20.0 million received from a customer in June 2013 in return for the exclusive use of our SmartDose™ electronic patch injector system ("SmartDose") within a specific therapeutic area. Unearned income related to this payment of $1.5 million and $17.8 million was included within other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities, respectively, at September 30, 2013. The unearned income is being recognized as development income on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the agreement, which is thirteen years. The agreement does not include a future minimum purchase commitment from the customer. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded development income of $0.4 million and $4.2 million, respectively, within Delivery Systems attributable to services and the reimbursement of certain costs.

The liability for contingent consideration related to our 2010 acquisition of technology used in SmartDose (“SmartDose contingent consideration”) increased by $0.3 million and $0.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, due to the time value of money and adjustments related to changes in sales projections. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the fair value of the SmartDose contingent consideration increased by $0.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively, due to the same factors described above.


9


In addition, during 2012, as a result of continuing delays and lower-than-expected demand, we updated the sales projections related to one of our product lines in Delivery Systems. The revised projections triggered an impairment review of the associated assets. Our review concluded that the estimated fair value of the product line no longer exceeded the carrying value of the related assembly equipment and intangible asset and, therefore, an impairment charge of $3.4 million was recorded during the second quarter of 2012. We estimated the fair value of the asset group using an income approach based on discounted cash flows.

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 and nine months ended September 30, 2013, our effective tax rate was 29.7% and 25.9% respectively, compared with 40.4% and 31.7% for the same periods in 2012. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 reflects the nondeductibility of the purchase premium paid during that period related to the extinguishment of our convertible debt. In addition, the decrease in the effective tax rate for both periods presented reflects the impact of the discrete tax items discussed below.

During the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we recorded discrete tax charges of $1.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively, resulting from the impact of changes in the enacted tax rate in the United Kingdom on our previously-recorded deferred tax balances. In addition, during the third quarter of 2012, as a result of the finalization of estimates of foreign tax credits available with respect to a dividend from one of our foreign subsidiaries, we recorded a discrete tax charge of $1.0 million.

The effective tax rate for the nine month periods presented reflects the items mentioned above, as well as a $1.3 million discrete tax benefit related to the American Taxpayers Relief Act of 2012, which was signed into law in January 2013 and includes a retroactive reinstatement of the research and development tax credit to January 1, 2012. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded a $0.3 million discrete tax charge 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 2006 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 $2.1 million during the next twelve months, which would favorably impact our effective tax rate. Accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits was $0.6 million and $0.5 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

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


10


Interest Rate Risk
  
At September 30, 2013, we had $41.7 million of outstanding borrowings under our variable-rate five-year term loan 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 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.

We also have an interest rate swap agreement outstanding as of September 30, 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 September 30, 2013, there were three monthly contracts outstanding at ¥200.8 million ($2.5 million) each, for an aggregate notional amount of ¥602.3 million ($7.5 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 September 30, 2013, there were three monthly contracts outstanding at an average monthly amount of $1.1 million, for an aggregate notional amount of $3.3 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 September 30, 2013, there was one monthly contract outstanding for a notional amount of ¥65.0 million (approximately $0.7 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 September 30, 2013, there were three monthly contracts outstanding at $1.4 million each, for an aggregate notional amount of $4.2 million.

At September 30, 2013, a portion of our debt consists of borrowings denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. We have designated our €61.1 million ($82.6 million) Euro note B and our €21.0 million ($28.4 million) Euro-denominated borrowings under our revolving credit facility as a hedge of our net investment in certain European subsidiaries. A cumulative foreign currency translation loss of $3.7 million pre-tax ($2.3 million after tax) on this debt was recorded within accumulated other comprehensive loss as of September 30, 2013. We have also designated our ¥500.0 million ($5.1 million) Yen-denominated borrowings under our revolving credit facility as a hedge of our net investment in a Japanese affiliate. At September 30, 2013, there was a cumulative foreign currency translation gain on this Yen-denominated debt of $0.3 million pre-tax ($0.2 million after tax) which was also included within accumulated other comprehensive loss.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recorded a $0.1 million loss in cost of goods and services sold related to these outstanding call options. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, a loss of $0.1 million was recorded in cost of goods and services sold relating to 2012 crude-oil options.

Note 5:  Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined 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. 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.

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 noncurrent assets and are also valued using a market approach based on quoted market prices in an active market. The fair value of our contingent consideration is included within other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities and is discussed further in the section related to Level 3 measurements. The fair value of our foreign currency contracts, included within other current liabilities, is valued using an income approach based on quoted forward foreign exchange rates and spot rates at the reporting date. 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 based on the terms of the contract and observable market inputs (i.e., LIBOR, Eurodollar synthetic forwards and swap spreads). Refer to Note 4, Derivative Financial Instruments, for further discussion of our derivatives.

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 used in the calculation. Significant increases or decreases in either of those inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement. As development and commercialization of SmartDose progresses, we may need to update the sales projections and the discount rate used. This could result in a material increase or decrease to the contingent consideration liability.

Other Financial Instruments

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.

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. At September 30, 2013, the estimated fair value of long-term debt was $383.5 million compared to a carrying amount of $381.1 million. At December 31, 2012, the estimated fair value of long-term debt was $386.0 million and the carrying amount was $378.8 million.

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 September 30, 2013, we had $80.3 million in outstanding borrowings under this facility, of which $5.1 million was denominated in Yen, $28.4 million in Euros and the remainder in USD. At September 30, 2013, $16.8 million of the outstanding borrowings was classified as current and $63.5 million was classified as long-term. Of the total amount outstanding as of December 31, 2012, $5.7 million was classified as current and $65.8 million was classified as long-term.

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. A portion of the 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. Borrowings under the loan bear interest at a variable rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus a margin of 1.50% percentage points. At September 30, 2013, $41.7 million was outstanding under this loan, of which $2.0 million was classified as current. Please refer to Note 4, Derivative Financial Instruments, for a discussion of the interest-rate swap agreement associated with this loan.

In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 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, the majority of which represented the premium over par value. Following the repurchase, $1.4 million principal amount of Convertible Debentures remains outstanding.

For the three month period ended September 30, 2013, the number of shares from stock-based compensation plans not included in the computation of diluted net income per share, because their impact was antidilutive, was immaterial. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, there were 0.7 million antidilutive shares excluded from the computation. There were 0.1 million and 2.9 million antidilutive shares outstanding during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012, respectively.

During the third quarter of 2013, we adjusted our U.S. postretirement medical plan liability as a result of a decrease in the eligible participants in the plan, lower-than-expected plan participation and better-than-expected claims experience. This change in estimate resulted in a pre-tax actuarial gain of $10.1 million, which was recorded within accumulated other comprehensive loss and which will be recognized over the average remaining service period of active plan participants.

Note 10:  Stock-Based Compensation

At September 30, 2013, there were 5,932,577 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.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we granted 922,348 stock options at a weighted average exercise price of $29.71 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 $5.73 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 nine months ended September 30, 2013, we granted 176,952 performance-vesting share (“PVS”) awards at a weighted grant-date fair value of $29.71 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

18


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 $5.2 million and $15.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, total stock-based compensation expense was $4.4 million and $11.8 million, 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 following table presents information about our reportable segments, reconciled to consolidated totals:

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 nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, in connection with the repurchase of our Convertible Debentures, we recognized a pre-tax loss on debt extinguishment of $0.2 million and $11.6 million, respectively.

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 July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued amended guidance to permit the Federal Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) to be used as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes under the derivatives and hedging guidance. The guidance also removes the restriction on using different benchmark rates for similar hedges. The amendments were effective for us immediately upon issuance and will be applied prospectively to qualifying new or re-designated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013. This adoption did not have an impact on our financial statements.

In February 2013, the 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 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 July 2013, the FASB issued revised guidance to address the diversity in practice related to the financial statement presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. This guidance is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Management believes that the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our financial statements.

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.

Third Quarter 2013 Financial Performance Highlights
Net sales were $341.8 million, an increase of 12.5% from the same period in 2012 (10.9% excluding foreign currency effects).
Gross profit was $105.5 million, an increase of 16.7% from the same period in 2012, and our gross margin increased by 1.0 margin point to 30.8%.
Operating profit was $39.7 million, an increase of 51.0% from the same period in 2012.
Net income was $26.8 million, an increase of 81.1% 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 September 30, 2013, as compared to the same period in 2012. Net sales originating in the United States were $153.0 million, an increase of 4.8% from the same period in 2012, primarily due to higher domestic demand for pharmaceutical packaging components and an increase in Daikyo Crystal Zenith® ("CZ") sales, partially offset by a decrease in contract manufacturing sales. Net sales generated outside of the United States were $188.8 million, an increase of 19.6% from the same period in 2012, reflecting continued growth and demand, particularly in Europe and Asia. Excluding the favorable effects from currency translation, our non-U.S. net sales increased 16.5% and our consolidated net sales increased 10.9% from the same period in 2012.


22


Gross profit increased by $15.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to the same period in 2012, primarily due to higher sales volumes, an improved product mix, production efficiencies, and sales price increases. These favorable items were partially offset by the impact of increased wages, benefits and other costs.

Operating profit increased by $13.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to the same period in 2012, primarily due to the increase in consolidated gross profit described above and a decrease in restructuring and other items, partially offset by increases in R&D and SG&A costs.

On August 1, 2013, our Board of Directors approved a two-for-one stock split of our outstanding shares of common stock, effected in the form of a stock dividend. The record date for the stock split was September 12, 2013, and the share distribution occurred on September 26, 2013.

Net income increased by $12.0 million, and diluted net income per share increased by $0.16 per diluted share, during the three months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to the same period in 2012. Net income and diluted net income per share for the three months ended September 30, 2013 included a discrete tax charge of $1.3 million, or $0.02 per diluted share. Net income and diluted net income per share for the three months ended September 30, 2012 included restructuring and related charges of $1.0 million (net of $0.1 million in tax), or $0.01 per diluted share, an increase in acquisition-related contingencies of $0.4 million (net of $0.1 million in tax), or $0.01 per diluted share, and a discrete tax charge of $1.8 million, or $0.03 per diluted share.

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. 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.

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.

Delivery Systems – Delivery Systems' SG&A costs increased by $1.1 million, or 11.8%, for the three months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to the same period in 2012, primarily as a result of incremental costs related to outside services, such as sales commissions and marketing costs.

Delivery Systems' SG&A costs increased by $4.3 million, or 15.8%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to the same period in 2012, primarily as a result of increased compensation costs mainly related to merit and headcount increases and incremental costs related to outside services, such as legal costs, sales commissions, and marketing costs.

Corporate – Corporate’s SG&A costs decreased by $1.3 million, or 8.1%, for the three months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to the same period in 2012, primarily as decreases in outside service and pension costs were partially offset by increased stock-based compensation expense. The increase in stock-based compensation expense of $0.8 million was due to the impact of higher share prices on our deferred compensation plan liabilities, which are indexed to our share price, and increased performance-based achievement levels.

Corporate’s SG&A costs increased by $1.6 million, or 3.5%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to the same period in 2012, primarily due to increases in stock-based compensation expense and intellectual property-related costs being partially offset by decreases in outside service, pension, and incentive compensation costs. The increase in stock-based compensation expense of $3.8 million was due to increased performance-based achievement levels and the impact of higher share prices on our deferred compensation plan liabilities, which are indexed to our share price.

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, 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recorded development income of $0.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively, within Delivery Systems. Included in these amounts was $0.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively, of income related to a nonrefundable payment of $20.0 million received from a customer in June 2013 in return for the exclusive use of SmartDose within a specific therapeutic area. Unearned income related to this payment of $1.5 million and $17.8 million was included within other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities, respectively, at September 30, 2013. The unearned income is being recognized as development income on

a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the agreement, which is thirteen years. The agreement does not include a future minimum purchase commitment from the customer.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded development income of $0.4 million and $4.2 million, respectively, within Delivery Systems attributable to services and the reimbursement of certain costs.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we incurred restructuring and related charges of $1.1 million and $1.8 million, respectively, associated with the 2010 plan. Charges incurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 included facility closure costs and employee severance and benefits associated with a reduction in operations at a manufacturing facility in England, as well as facility closure costs associated with the 2011 closure of a plant in the United States. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, we finalized an agreement concerning future manufacturing and supply requirements at our manufacturing facility in England, which triggered an impairment review of the related assets. Our review concluded that the estimated fair value of these assets no longer exceeded their carrying value and, therefore, an impairment charge of $1.5 million was recorded. We estimated the fair value of the assets using an income approach based on discounted cash flows. Offsetting the costs incurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 were reductions to certain previously-recorded obligations under the 2010 plan, including a reduction of $1.7 million following the cancellation of the restructuring initiative at one of our plants in Europe as a result of increased customer demand for products and related efficiency improvements at that plant. We have not incurred any restructuring and related charges during 2013, and we do not expect to incur any future charges related to the 2010 plan. The remaining restructuring obligations at September 30, 2013 were $0.1 million.

During the second quarter of 2012, as a result of continuing delays and lower-than-expected demand, we updated the sales projections related to one of our Delivery Systems’ product lines. The revised projections triggered an impairment review of the associated assets. Our review concluded that the estimated fair value of the product line no longer exceeded the carrying value of the related assembly equipment and intangible asset and, therefore, an impairment charge of $3.4 million was recorded. We estimated the fair value of the asset group using an income approach based on discounted cash flows.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we increased the SmartDose contingent consideration by $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively, due to the time value of money and adjustments related to changes in sales projections. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we increased the SmartDose contingent consideration by $0.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively, due to the same factors described above. Beginning in 2013, these adjustments are included within Delivery Systems' results.

During the nine months ended September 30, 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.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recognized a pre-tax loss on debt extinguishment of $11.6 million related to our repurchase of $158.4 million of our Convertible Debentures, which consisted of a $6.2 million premium over par value, a $4.4 million write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and $1.0 million in transaction costs.

Interest expense, net, increased by $0.1 million, or 2.6%, for the three months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to the same period in 2012, as decreases in capitalized interest and interest income were partially offset by a decrease in interest expense.

Interest expense, net, remained constant at $11.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to the same period in 2012, as a decrease in interest expense was offset by a decrease in interest income.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was $10.6 million and $29.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 29.7% and 25.9%, respectively. The provision for income taxes was $9.0 million and $25.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 40.4% and 31.7%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 reflects the nondeductibility of the purchase premium paid during that period related to the extinguishment of our convertible debt.

In addition, the decrease in the effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 reflects the impact of the following discrete tax items.

During the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we recorded discrete tax charges of $1.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively, resulting from the impact of changes in the enacted tax rate in the United Kingdom on our previously-recorded deferred tax balances. In addition, during the three months ended September 30, 2012, as a result of the finalization of estimates of foreign tax credits available with respect to a dividend from one of our foreign subsidiaries, we recorded a discrete tax charge of $1.0 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recorded 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 nine months ended September 30, 2012, we also recorded a $0.3 million discrete tax charge 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 increased by $0.3 million, or 21.4%, for the three months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to the same period in 2012, primarily due to favorable operating results in Mexico. Equity in net income of affiliated companies decreased by $0.2 million, or 4.2%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to the same period in 2012, primarily due to an unfavorable foreign currency impact on Daikyo's operating results, partially offset by favorable operating results in Mexico.

Net Income

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was $26.8 million, which included a discrete tax charge of $1.3 million. Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $14.8 million, which included restructuring and related charges of $1.0 million (net of $0.1 million in tax), an increase in acquisition-related contingencies of $0.4 million (net of $0.1 million in tax) and a discrete tax charge of $1.8 million.

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $88.7 million, which included a loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.2 million and a net discrete tax charge of $0.1 million.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 increased primarily due to the increase in net income and our receipt of a nonrefundable payment of $20.0 million from a customer in Delivery Systems related to exclusivity during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $111.0 million, an increase of $17.7 million from the same period in 2012.

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, construction of our new rubber and metal manufacturing facility in India, and various capital projects related to new products, expansion activity, and emerging markets.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities – Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $18.4 million, a decrease of $7.7 million from the same period in 2012.
