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 months ended March 31, 2015 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, 2014 (“2014 Annual Report”). The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

Note 2: New Accounting Standards

Recently Adopted Standards

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued guidance for the reporting of discontinued operations, which also contained new disclosure requirements for both discontinued operations and other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. We adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2015, on a prospective basis. The adoption did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Standards Issued Not Yet Adopted

In April 2015, the FASB issued guidance on the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Management is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on our financial statements, if any.

In April 2015, the FASB issued guidance which changes the classification of debt issuance costs, from being an asset on the balance sheet to netting the costs against the carrying value of the debt. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Management believes that the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In January 2015, the FASB issued guidance which removes the concept of extraordinary items from U.S. GAAP. This guidance eliminates the requirement for companies to spend time assessing whether items meet the criteria of being both unusual and infrequent. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Management believes that the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued guidance which defines management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. This guidance is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. Management believes that the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Table of Contents

In June 2014, the FASB issued guidance that clarifies the accounting for share-based payments in which the terms of the award provide that a performance target that affects vesting could be achieved after the requisite service period. In this case, the performance target would be required to be treated as a performance condition, and should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. The guidance also addresses when to recognize the related compensation cost. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Management believes that the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance on the accounting for revenue from contracts with customers that will supersede most existing revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the guidance requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity's contracts with customers. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016. The FASB has proposed delaying this standard by one year. If the proposal is approved, early adoption would be permitted as of the original effective date. Entities can choose to apply the guidance using either a full retrospective approach or a modified retrospective approach. Management is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on our financial statements, if any, including which transition method it will adopt.

Note 3: Net Income Per Share

The following table reconciles net income and shares used in the calculation of basic net income per share to those used for diluted net income per share:

	$	231.9	$	309.5

Please refer to Note 8, Debt, to the consolidated financial statements in our 2014 Annual Report for additional details regarding our debt agreements.

At March 31, 2015, we had $32.3 million in outstanding borrowings under our multi-currency revolving credit facility, of which $4.2 million was denominated in Yen, $22.8 million in Euro, and the remainder in U.S. dollar ("USD"). Of the amount outstanding at March 31, 2015, $5.3 million was borrowed under the swing-line portion of the credit facility, which was classified as current. The total amount outstanding at December 31, 2014 was classified as long-term.

At March 31, 2015, we had $38.7 million outstanding under our five-year term loan due January 2018, of which $2.1 million was classified as current. Please refer to Note 6, Derivative Financial Instruments, for a discussion of the interest-rate swap agreement associated with this loan.

Note 6: 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.

Interest Rate Risk

At March 31, 2015, we have a $38.7 million forward-start interest rate swap outstanding that hedges the variability in cash flows due to changes in the applicable interest rate of our variable-rate five-year term loan related to the purchase of our corporate office and research building. 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.

Table of Contents

In addition, we have a $25.0 million interest rate swap agreement outstanding as of March 31, 2015, that is designated as a cash flow hedge to protect against volatility in the interest rates on our 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 2015 and 2014, 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 USD-denominated inventory purchases made by certain European subsidiaries, for a total notional amount of €14.5 million ($17.5 million).

We also 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 for a total notional amount of $16.8 million.

In addition, we entered into several contracts which involve both a written and a purchased option to hedge the currency risk associated with a portion of our forecasted Yen-denominated inventory purchases made by West in the U.S. The notional amounts of these contracts include ¥1.2 billion of a derivative asset and ¥1.2 billion of a derivative liability, or $9.9 million each.

Lastly, we entered into several contracts which involve both a written and a purchased option to hedge the currency risk associated with a portion of our forecasted Yen-denominated inventory purchases made by certain European subsidiaries. The notional amounts of these contracts include ¥0.8 billion of a derivative asset and ¥0.8 billion of a derivative liability, or $6.1 million each.

At March 31, 2015, a portion of our debt consists of borrowings denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. We have designated our €61.1 million ($66.3 million) Euro note B and our €21.0 million ($22.8 million) Euro-denominated borrowings under our multi-currency revolving credit facility as a hedge of our net investment in certain European subsidiaries. A cumulative foreign currency translation gain of $18.2 million pre-tax ($11.5 million after tax) on this debt was recorded within accumulated other comprehensive loss as of March 31, 2015. We have also designated our ¥500.0 million ($4.2 million) Yen-denominated borrowings under our multi-currency revolving credit facility as a hedge of our net investment in Daikyo. At March 31, 2015, there was a cumulative foreign currency translation gain on this Yen-denominated debt of $1.2 million pre-tax ($0.8 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.

Table of Contents

In November 2014, we purchased a series of call options for a total of 134,700 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 through December 2015. 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, 2015, the loss recorded in cost of goods and services sold related to these call options was immaterial.

Effects of Derivative Instruments on Financial Position and Results of Operations

The following table summarizes the effects of derivative instruments designated as hedges on other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and earnings, net of tax:



	Amount of Gain (Loss) Recognized in OCI for						Amount of (Gain) Loss Reclassified from Accumulated OCI into Income for					Location of (Gain) Loss Reclassified from Accumulated OCI into Income
	Three Months Ended March 31,						Three Months Ended March 31,

For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, there was no material ineffectiveness related to our hedges.

Note 7: 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.

Table of Contents

The following tables present the assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis:

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 foreign currency contracts, included within other current assets, is valued using an income approach based on quoted forward foreign exchange rates and spot rates at the reporting date. The fair value of our contingent consideration, included within other current and other long-term liabilities, is discussed further in the section related to Level 3 fair value measurements. 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 swap contracts, included within other current and 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 6, Derivative Financial Instruments, for further discussion of our derivatives.

Level 3 Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of the contingent consideration liability related to our SmartDose^TM electronic patch injector system (“SmartDose contingent consideration”) was initially determined 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 other expense in our condensed consolidated statements of income. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the contingent consideration are the sales projections, the probability of success factors, 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 SmartDose progresses, we may need to update the sales projections, the probability of success factors, and the discount rate used. This could result in a material increase or decrease to the contingent consideration liability.

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



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2015			2014
Beginning Balance	$	5.0		$	4.3
Increase in fair value recorded in earnings	0.2			0.4
Payments	(0.1		)	—
Ending Balance	$	5.1		$	4.7

Refer to Note 11, Other (Income) Expense, for further discussion of our acquisition-related contingency.

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.

The estimated fair value of long-term debt is based on quoted market prices for debt issuances with similar terms and maturities and is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. At March 31, 2015, the estimated fair value of long-term debt was $237.2 million compared to a carrying amount of $231.9 million. At December 31, 2014, the estimated fair value of long-term debt was $311.4 million and the carrying amount was $309.5 million.

Note 9: Stock-Based Compensation

The 2011 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (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 terms and conditions of awards to be granted are determined by our Board's nominating and corporate governance and compensation committees. Vesting requirements vary by award. At March 31, 2015, there were 3,249,041 shares remaining in the 2011 Plan for future grants.

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we granted 500,388 stock options at a weighted average exercise price of $54.07 per share based on the grant-date fair value of our stock to key employees under the 2011 Plan. The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted was $10.18 per share as determined by the Black-Scholes option valuation model using the following weighted average assumptions: a risk-free interest rate of 1.67%; expected life of 5.8 years based on prior experience; stock volatility of 19.1% based on historical data; and a dividend yield of 1.0%. Stock option expense is recognized over the vesting period, net of forfeitures.

In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2015, we granted 94,222 performance vesting share (“PVS”) awards at a weighted grant-date fair value of $54.07 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 is based on the market price of our stock at the grant date and is recognized as expense over the performance period, adjusted for estimated target outcomes and net of forfeitures.

Table of Contents

Total stock-based compensation expense was $5.3 million and $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Note 11: Other (Income) Expense

Other (income) expense consists of:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
($ in millions)	2015			2014
Development income	$	(0.4	)	$	(0.4	)
Acquisition-related contingencies	0.2			0.4
Foreign exchange and other	(0.6		)	0.7
	$	(0.8	)	$	0.7

During both the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we recognized development income of $0.4 million within our Pharmaceutical Delivery Systems segment ("Delivery Systems"), which related to a nonrefundable customer payment of $20.0 million received in June 2013 in return for the exclusive use of SmartDose within a specific therapeutic area. As of March 31, 2015, there was $17.1 million of unearned income related to this payment, of which $1.5 million was included in other current liabilities and $15.6 million was included in other long-term liabilities. The unearned income is being recognized as development income on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the agreement. The agreement does not include a future minimum purchase commitment from the customer.

Table of Contents

During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the SmartDose contingent consideration increased by $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, due to the time value of money and changes made to sales projections. These adjustments are included within Delivery Systems' results.

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we recorded foreign exchange and other income of $0.6 million, due to foreign exchange transaction gains. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we recorded foreign exchange and other expense of $0.7 million, consisting primarily of foreign exchange transaction losses.

Note 12: 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, 2015, our effective tax rate was 28.4%, compared with 27.6% for the same period in 2014. The increase in the effective tax rate primarily reflects changes in our geographic mix of earnings.

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 2014 Annual Report.

Note 14: 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.

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 2014 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 2014 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.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

For the purpose of aiding the comparison of our year-over-year results, we may refer to net sales and other financial results excluding the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. 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 comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures. The non-U.S. GAAP financial measures are incorporated into our discussion and analysis as management uses them in evaluating our results of operations, and believes that this information provides users a valuable insight into our results.

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 2015 Financial Performance Highlights


•	Reported net sales were $335.9 million, a decrease of 3.1% from the same period in 2014. Excluding foreign currency effects, net sales increased by $22.6 million, or 6.5%.


•	Gross profit was $109.7 million, an increase of 3.1% from the same period in 2014, and our gross margin increased by 2.0 margin points to 32.7%.


•	Operating profit was $47.8 million, an increase of 21.6% from the same period in 2014, and our operating profit margin increased by 2.9 margin points to 14.2%.

Table of Contents


•	Net income was $32.9 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, compared to $27.1 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, in the same period in 2014.


•	Our financial position remains strong, with cash and cash equivalents of $207.1 million and a borrowing capacity under our multi-currency revolving credit facility of $264.7 at March 31, 2015.


•	The translation of our non-U.S. dollar-denominated sales is expected to adversely affect 2015 sales and net income per share, as compared to 2014.

Overall, the strong results of Packaging Systems and an unfavorable foreign currency impact, primarily resulting from the weakening of the value of the Euro compared to the U.S. dollar, were the main factors affecting net income and net income per diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014. Excluding foreign currency effects, net sales increased during the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014, due to continued growth in Packaging Systems' high-value product offerings.

We anticipate continued revenue and margin improvement on a long-term basis, driven by customers' increasing demand for higher product quality, which results in higher revenues and margin per unit sold in Packaging Systems and an increasing percentage of total sales from higher margin proprietary products in Delivery Systems.

In April 2015, we appointed Eric M. Green to serve as our Chief Executive Officer, effective April 24, 2015, succeeding Donald E. Morel, Jr., Ph.D., who previously served as Chairman of our Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer. Dr. Morel intends to continue to serve as Chairman of our Board of Directors until June 30, 2015. He plans to retire effective as of July 1, 2015.

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.

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

Consolidated SG&A costs	$	55.2		$	56.4
SG&A as a % of net sales	16.4		%	16.2		%

Table of Contents

Consolidated SG&A costs decreased by $1.2 million, or 2.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014, including the impact of foreign currency, which decreased SG&A costs by $2.9 million. Consolidated SG&A costs were 16.4% and 16.2% of consolidated net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Packaging Systems – Packaging Systems' SG&A costs decreased by $1.0 million, or 3.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014, due to the impact of foreign currency, which decreased SG&A costs by $2.6 million, partially offset by increased compensation costs mostly related to merit increases and incentive compensation cost increases, as well as increased sales costs.

Delivery Systems – Delivery Systems' SG&A costs decreased by $0.9 million, or 7.8%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014, due to the impact of foreign currency, which decreased SG&A costs by $0.3 million and decreased sales costs, both of which were partially offset by an increase in incentive compensation costs.

Corporate – Corporate’s SG&A costs increased by $0.7 million, or 5.9%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014, due to increased stock-based compensation expense and incentive compensation costs, both of which were partially offset by a decrease in U.S. pension costs. The increase in stock-based compensation expense was primarily due to the impact of higher share prices on our incentive and deferred compensation plan liabilities, which are indexed to our share price.

Other (Income) Expense

Table of Contents

Since February 2013, when the Venezuelan government announced a devaluation of the bolivar, we have used the official exchange rate of 6.3 bolivars to the U.S. dollar to re-measure our Venezuelan subsidiary's financial statements in U.S. dollars. From December 2013 through February 2015, the Venezuelan government announced a series of changes to the regulations governing its currency exchange market, which included the expanded use of one currency exchange mechanism and the creation of two additional currency exchange mechanisms. As the majority of our currency purchases are transacted at the official exchange rate of 6.3 bolivars per U.S. dollar, we have continued to re-measure our Venezuelan subsidiary's financial statements using the official exchange rate. At March 31, 2015, we had $2.0 million in net monetary assets denominated in Venezuelan bolivars, including $1.0 million in cash and cash equivalents, and $4.0 million in non-monetary assets. Use of the official exchange rate has been restricted by the Venezuelan government to companies providing critical supplies, such as food and medicine. There is no guarantee that we will have access to the official exchange rate in the future. If we are no longer able to use the official exchange rate in the future, if we determine that we should use one of the other currency exchange mechanisms in Venezuela in the future, or if there is a significant devaluation in the official exchange rate, a pre-tax charge of $6.0 million could be required. We will continue to actively monitor the political and economic developments in Venezuela.

Operating Profit

The following table presents operating profit (loss), consolidated and by reportable segment, and corporate:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
($ in millions)	2015			2014
Packaging Systems	$	60.9		$	51.4
Delivery Systems	(0.5		)	(0.2		)
Corporate	(12.6		)	(11.9		)
Consolidated operating profit	$	47.8		$	39.3
Consolidated operating profit margin	14.2		%	11.3		%

Consolidated operating profit increased by $8.5 million, or 21.6%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014, despite an unfavorable foreign currency impact of $8.6 million. Consolidated operating profit margin increased by 2.9 margin points for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014.

Packaging Systems – Packaging Systems’ operating profit increased by $9.5 million, or 18.5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014, despite an unfavorable foreign currency impact of $8.6 million, due to the factors described above.

Delivery Systems – Delivery Systems’ operating loss increased by $0.3 million, or 150.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014, due to the factors described above.

Interest Expense, Net

The following table presents interest expense, net, by significant component:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
($ in millions)	2015			2014
Interest expense	$	4.4		$	4.5
Capitalized interest	(0.3		)	(0.5		)
Interest income	(0.4		)	(0.4		)
Interest expense, net	$	3.7		$	3.6

Interest expense, net, increased by $0.1 million, or 2.8%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014, as a decrease in capitalized interest was partially offset by lower interest expense resulting from less debt outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was $12.5 million and $9.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and the effective tax rates were 28.4% and 27.6%, respectively.

The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014, primarily reflects changes in our geographic mix of earnings.

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 $0.1 million, or 8.3%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014, primarily due to favorable operating results in Mexico.

Net Income

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $32.9 million and $27.1 million, respectively.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flows

The following table presents cash flow data for the three months ended March 31:



($ in millions)	2015			2014
Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities	$	(1.9	)	$	8.8
Net cash used in investing activities	(30.6		)	(35.6		)
Net cash provided by financing activities	1.2			26.2

Table of Contents

Net Cash (Used in) Provided by Operating Activities – Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $1.9 million, a change of $10.7 million from the net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 changed due to a voluntary $20.0 million pension plan contribution, partially offset by an increase in net income.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities – Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $30.6 million, a decrease of $5.0 million from the same period in 2014. Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 decreased as we sold our remaining short-term investments in 2014. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we had purchased $9.2 million, and sold $5.0 million, of short-term investments that had maturities between ninety-one days and one year at the time of purchase. The capital spending for the three months ended March 31, 2015 included spending for new products, expansion activity, and emerging markets, including projects in the U.S., Europe, and Asia.

In October 2014, we announced plans to expand our global manufacturing operations to include a new facility in Waterford, Ireland, which will produce packaging components for insulin injector cartridges and other high-value packaging components. Our building permit has been approved by the local authorities and final approval is expected by mid-May 2015. Ground-breaking is planned for June 2015.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities – Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $1.2 million, a decrease of $25.0 million from the same period in 2014. Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 decreased due to a reduction in net borrowings during the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014.

On October 29, 2014, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $100.0 million of our common stock from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions as permitted under the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The extent to which we repurchase the shares and the timing of any repurchases will be determined by us based on our evaluation of market conditions and other factors. The program is expected to be completed no later than December 31, 2015. As of March 31, 2015, no shares had been repurchased under the program.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The table below presents selected liquidity and capital measures:



($ in millions)	March 31, 2015			December 31, 2014
Cash and cash equivalents	$	207.1		$	255.3
Working capital	328.5			406.8
Total debt	330.7			336.7
Total equity	941.1			956.9
Net debt-to-total invested capital	11.6		%	7.8		%

Cash and cash equivalents include all instruments that have maturities of ninety days or less 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.

Table of Contents

Cash and cash equivalents – Our cash and cash equivalents balance at March 31, 2015 consisted of cash held in 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, 2015 included $3.8 million of cash held by subsidiaries within the U.S., and $203.3 million of cash held by subsidiaries outside of the U.S., primarily in Germany, Singapore, China, and Israel, which is available to fund operations and growth of non-U.S. subsidiaries. Repatriating the cash into the U.S. 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, 2015 decreased by $78.3 million, or 19.2%, as compared to December 31, 2014, including a decrease of $14.9 million due to foreign currency translation. Excluding the impact of currency exchange rates, cash and cash equivalents decreased by $31.2 million, accounts receivable and inventories increased by $21.2 million and $11.4 million, respectively, and total current liabilities increased by $67.7 million. Accounts receivable and inventories increased primarily due to increased sales activity and timing, as accounts receivable and inventories are typically lower at year-end due to plant shutdowns; accounts receivable turnover measurements declined slightly between December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2015, while inventory turnover measurements remained consistent for those period ends. The increase in current liabilities was primarily due to the reclassification of Euro Note B from long-term debt to current liabilities as of March 31, 2015, partially offset by decreases in accounts payable and accrued salaries, wages and benefits.

Debt and credit facilities – The $6.0 million decrease in total debt at March 31, 2015, as compared to December 31, 2014, resulted from foreign currency rate fluctuations of $10.7 million, partially offset by net borrowings of $4.7 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. Borrowings under the multi-currency revolving credit facility bear interest at a rate equal to one-month 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. At March 31, 2015, we had $32.3 million in outstanding borrowings under this facility, of which $4.2 million was denominated in Yen, $22.8 million in Euro, and the remainder in USD. Of the amount outstanding at March 31, 2015, $5.3 million was borrowed under the swing-line portion of the facility and was classified as current, and $27.0 million was classified as long-term. The total amount outstanding at December 31, 2014 was classified as long-term. These borrowings, together with outstanding letters of credit of $3.0 million, resulted in a borrowing capacity available under this facility of $264.7 million at March 31, 2015. We do not expect any significant limitations on our ability to access this source of funds.

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, 2015, 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.

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 2014 Annual Report. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, there were no material changes outside of the ordinary course of business to our commitments and contractual obligations.

Table of Contents

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

At March 31, 2015, 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 2014 Annual Report.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

There have been no changes to the Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates disclosed in Part II, Item 7 of our 2014 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, 2015, and the impact, if any, on our financial position or results of operations, see Note 2, New Accounting Standards.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Our disclosure and analysis in this Form 10-Q contains some forward-looking statements that are based on management's beliefs and assumptions, current expectations, estimates and forecasts. We also provide forward-looking statements in other materials we release to the public, as well as oral forward-looking statements. Such statements provide our current expectations or forecasts of future events. They do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. We have attempted, wherever possible, to identify forward-looking statements by using 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:


•	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;

Table of Contents

•

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 loss of key personnel or highly-skilled employees;


•	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;


•	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;


•	our ability to obtain and maintain licenses in any jurisdiction in which we do business;


•	the relative strength of the U.S. dollar in relation to other currencies, particularly the Euro, the Danish Krone, the Singapore Dollar, and Japanese Yen; and


•	the potential adverse effects of recently enacted U.S. and global 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. For further discussion of these and other factors, see the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our 2014 Annual Report. Except as required by law or regulation, we do not intend to update any forward-looking statements.
