Cautionary Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
This presentation and any accompanying management commentary contain “forward-looking statements” as
that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements include, but are not
limited to statements about expected financial results for 2012 and future years.
Each of these estimates is based on preliminary information, and actual results could differ from these
preliminary estimates. We caution investors that the risk factors listed under “Cautionary Statement” in today’s
press release, as well as those set forth under the caption "Risk Factors" in our most recent Annual Report on
Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and as revised or supplemented by our
quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, could cause our actual results to differ materially from those estimated or
predicted in the forward-looking statements. You should evaluate any statement in light of these important
factors. Except as required by law or regulation, we undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-
looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Certain financial measures included in today’s press release and accompanying tables, in these presentation
materials, and which may be referred to in management’s discussion of the Company’s results and outlook, are
Non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) financial measures. Please refer to the “Notes to Non-
GAAP Financial Measures” at the end of these materials for more information. Non-GAAP financial measures
should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to such measures determined in accordance with
GAAP.

Selected Factors That Impact Margin % in 2012(3)
Improving sales mix:  Profit expectations include the favorable impact of sales of
more profitable products, including high-value pharmaceutical packaging components
and proprietary pharmaceutical delivery devices and systems, growing faster than
lower-margin items, which include standard pharmaceutical packaging, disposable
medical device components and contract-manufactured items.
Increased sales prices: Our selling prices are increasing more rapidly than they
have in recent years, primarily as a result of rising costs in recent quarters. Increases
impact list prices and formulated contract-price escalators, and profit expectations for
2012 are dependent upon realizing the expected increases.
Rising raw-material costs: If costs continue to rise, margins will narrow as a result
of a typical delay between market-driven input cost increases and our ability to pass
on costs through higher prices to customers.
Lean savings and production efficiencies: Profit expectations are dependent on
anticipated improvements in manufacturing efficiency as a result of:
  “Lean Manufacturing” programs, which focus on process efficiency
  Increased manufacturing efficiency as a result economies of scale associated
 with sales growth
(3) See “Cautionary Statement” on slide 2. This is not an exclusive list of risks associated with forward
looking statements included here or made in the presentation.

NOTES TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
For additional details, please see today’s press release and Safe Harbor Statement.
These slides use non-GAAP financial measures. West believes that these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide
useful information to management and investors regarding certain business trends relating to West’s financial condition, results
of operations and the Company’s overall performance. Our executive management team uses adjusted operating profit and
adjusted diluted EPS to evaluate the performance of the Company in terms of profitability and to compare operating results to
prior periods. Adjusted operating profit is also used to evaluate changes in the operating results of each segment and to allocate
resources to our segments. The Company believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional
tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends in comparing its financial measures with other
companies.
Our executive management does not consider such non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to such measures
determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of such non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude
significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations
as they reflect the exercise of judgment by management about which items are excluded from the non-GAAP financial
measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, our executive management presents its non-GAAP financial measures
in connection with its GAAP results. We urge investors and potential investors to review the reconciliation of our non-GAAP
financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures, and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the
Company’s business.
In calculating adjusted operating profit and adjusted diluted EPS, we exclude the impact of items that are not considered
representative of ongoing operations. Such items include restructuring and related costs, certain asset impairments, other
specifically identified gains or losses, and discrete income tax items. Reconciliations of these adjusted non-GAAP measures to
the comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the preceding (current and prior-year periods) and succeeding (2012
Guidance) slides.
The following is a description of the items excluded from adjusted operating profit and adjusted diluted EPS:
(continued on following slide)
Restructuring and related charges: During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we incurred restructuring and related
charges of $0.4 million associated with the restructuring plan announced in December 2010. Charges associated with the plan
for the three months ended March 31, 2012 were primarily facility closure costs associated with the 2011 closure of a plant in
the United States and a reduction of operations at a manufacturing facility in England
