Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

In addition to historical information, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which are subject to the “safe harbor” created by those sections. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify these forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “outlook,” “believes,” “expects,” “potential,” “continues,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “predicts,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “anticipates” or the negative version of these words or other comparable words.

These statements are based on assumptions and assessments made by our management in light of their experience and their perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors they believe to be appropriate. Any forward-looking statement is subject to various risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual outcomes or results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements.

Some of the factors that may cause actual results, developments and business decisions to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those described under the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 and the following:


•	We participate in a highly competitive market, and increased competition may adversely affect our business.


•	The demand for our offerings depends in part on our customers’ research and development and the clinical and market success of their products. Our business, financial condition and results of operations may be harmed if our customers spend less on, or are less successful in, these activities.


•	We are subject to product and other liability risks that could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, and cash flows.


•	Failure to comply with existing and future regulatory requirements could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition or result in claims from customers.


•	Failure to provide quality offerings to our customers could have an adverse effect on our business and subject us to regulatory actions or costly litigation.


•	The services and offerings we provide are highly exacting and complex, and if we encounter problems providing the services or support required, our business could suffer.


•	Our global operations are subject to economic, political and regulatory risks, including the risks of changing regulatory standards or changing interpretations of existing standards that could affect the profitability of our operations or require costly changes to our procedures.


•	The referendum in the U.K. and resulting decision of the U.K. government to consider exiting from the European Union could have future adverse effects on our revenues and costs, and therefore our profitability.


•	If we do not enhance our existing or introduce new technology or service offerings in a timely manner, our offerings may become obsolete or uncompetitive over time, customers may not buy our offerings and our revenue and profitability may decline.


•	We and our customers depend on patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets and other forms of intellectual property protections, but these protections may not be adequate.


•	Our future results of operations are subject to fluctuations in the costs, availability, and suitability of the components of the products we manufacture, including active pharmaceutical ingredients, excipients, purchased components, and raw materials.


•	Changes in market access or healthcare reimbursement for our customers’ products in the United States or internationally could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition by affecting demand for our offerings.

Table of Contents


•	As a global enterprise, fluctuations in the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies could have a material adverse effect on our financial performance and results of operations.


•	Tax legislation or regulatory initiatives or challenges to our tax positions could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.


•	Our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards and certain other tax attributes may be limited.


•	Changes to the estimated future profitability of the business may require that we establish an additional valuation allowance against all or some portion of our net U.S. deferred tax assets.


•	We are dependent on key personnel.


•	We use advanced information and communication systems to run our operations, compile and analyze financial and operational data and communicate among our employees, customers and counter-parties, so the risks generally associated with information and communications systems could adversely affect our results of operations.


•	We engage from time to time in acquisitions and other transactions that may complement or expand our business or divest of non-strategic businesses or assets. We may not be able to complete such transactions, and such transactions, if executed, pose significant risks and could have a negative effect on our operations.


•	Our offerings or our customers’ products may infringe on the intellectual property rights of third parties.


•	We are subject to environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, which could increase our costs and restrict our operations in the future.


•	We are subject to labor and employment laws and regulations, which could increase our costs and restrict our operations in the future.


•	Certain of our pension plans are underfunded, and additional cash contributions we may make will reduce the cash available for our business or to discharge our financial obligations.


•	Our substantial leverage could adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital to fund our operations, limit our ability to react to changes in the economy or in our industry or to deploy capital to grow our business, expose us to interest-rate risk to the extent of our variable rate debt and prevent us from meeting our obligations under our indebtedness.

We caution you that the risks, uncertainties and other factors referenced above may not contain all of the risks, uncertainties and other factors that are important to you. In addition, we cannot assure you that we will realize the results, benefits or developments that we expect or anticipate or, even if substantially realized, that they will result in the consequences or affect us or our business in the way expected. There can be no assurance that (i) we have correctly measured or identified all of the factors affecting our business or the extent of these factors’ likely impact, (ii) the available information with respect to these factors on which such analysis is based is complete or accurate, (iii) such analysis is correct or (iv) our strategy, which is based in part on this analysis, will be successful. All forward-looking statements in this report apply only as of the date of this report or as of the date they were made and we undertake no obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as required by law.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements


1.	BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business

Catalent, Inc. (“Catalent” or the “Company”) directly and wholly owns PTS Intermediate Holdings LLC (“Intermediate Holdings”). Intermediate Holdings directly and wholly owns Catalent Pharma Solutions, Inc. (“Operating Company”). The financial results of Catalent are comprised of the financial results of Operating Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

On July 31, 2014, the Company commenced an initial public offering of its common stock (the “IPO”) and its common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the symbol “CTLT.”

On March 9, 2015, an affiliate of The Blackstone Group, L.P. that owned shares in the Company (“Blackstone”), Genstar Capital and Aisling Capital (collectively, the “selling stockholders”) completed a secondary offering of 27.3 million shares of the Company’s common stock, including 3.6 million shares sold pursuant to an over-allotment option, at a price of $29.50 per share before underwriting discounts and commissions. On June 2, 2015, the selling stockholders completed an additional secondary offering of 16.1 million shares, including 2.1 million shares sold pursuant to the over-allotment option, at a price of $29.00 per share before underwriting discounts and commissions. On June 6, 2016, the selling stockholders completed a secondary offering of 10.0 million shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $24.85 per share before underwriting discounts and commissions. On September 6, 2016, two of the selling stockholders completed a secondary offering of their remaining shares totaling approximately 19.0 million shares, at a price of $23.85 per share before underwriting discounts and commissions. The Company did not sell stock in any of the secondary offerings and did not receive any proceeds of the sales.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months ended December 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2017. The consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2016 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information on the Company's accounting policies and footnotes, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2016 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, we engaged in a business reorganization to better align our internal business unit structure with our "Follow the Molecule" strategy. Under the revised structure, we have created a Drug Delivery Solutions ("DDS") operating segment, which encompasses all of our modified release technologies; prefilled syringes and other injectable formats; blow-fill-seal unit dose development and manufacturing; biologic cell line development; analytical services; micronization technologies; and other conventional oral dose forms under a single DDS management team. Additionally, as part of the re-alignment, we have created a stand-alone Clinical Supply Services ("CSS") operating segment and management team with a sole focus on providing global clinical supply chain management services that aim to speed our customers' drugs to market. Further, as a result of the business unit re-alignment, our Softgel Technologies business now reports as a distinct operating segment. Our operating segments are the same as our reporting segments. All prior period comparative segment information has been restated to reflect the current reportable segments in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 280 Segment Reporting.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory and long-lived asset valuation, goodwill and other intangible asset valuation and impairment, equity-based compensation, income taxes, and pension plan asset and liability valuation. Actual amounts may differ from these estimated amounts.

Table of Contents

Foreign Currency Translation

The financial statements of the Company’s operations outside the U.S. are generally measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Adjustments to translate the assets and liabilities of these foreign operations into U.S. dollars are accumulated as a component of other comprehensive income/(loss) utilizing period-end exchange rates. The currency fluctuations related to certain long-term inter-company loans deemed to not be repayable in the foreseeable future have been recorded within cumulative translation adjustment, a component of other comprehensive income/(loss). In addition, the currency fluctuation associated with the portion of the Company’s euro-denominated debt designated as a net investment hedge is included as a component of other comprehensive income/(loss). Foreign currency transaction gains and losses calculated by utilizing weighted average exchange rates for the period are included in the consolidated statements of operations in the other (income) expense, net line item. Foreign currency translation gains and losses generated from inter-company loans that are long-term in nature, but may be repayable in the foreseeable future, are also recorded within the other (income)/expense, net line item on the consolidated statements of operations.

Revenue Recognition

In accordance with ASC 605 Revenue Recognition, the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, product delivery has occurred or the services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. In cases where the Company has multiple contracts with the same customer, the Company evaluates those contracts to assess if the contracts are linked or are separate arrangements. Factors the Company considers include the timing of negotiation, interdependency with other contracts or elements and payment terms. The Company and its customers generally view each contract discussion as a separate arrangement.

Manufacturing and packaging service revenue is recognized upon delivery of the product in accordance with the terms of the contract, which specify when transfer of title and risk of loss occurs. Some of the Company’s manufacturing contracts with its customers have annual minimum purchase requirements. At the end of the contract year, revenue is recognized for the unfilled purchase obligation in accordance with the contract terms. Development service contracts generally take the form of a fee-for-service arrangement. After the Company has evidence of an arrangement, the price is determinable and there is a reasonable expectation regarding payment, the Company recognizes revenue at the point in time the service obligation is completed and accepted by the customer. Examples of output measures include a formulation report, analytical and stability testing, clinical batch production or packaging and the storage and distribution of a customer’s clinical trial material. Development service revenue is primarily driven by the Company’s DDS segment.

Arrangements containing multiple elements, including service arrangements, are accounted for in accordance with the provisions of ASC 605-25 Revenue Recognition—Multiple-Element Arrangements. The Company determines the separate units of account in accordance with ASC 605-25. If the deliverable meets the criteria of a separate unit of accounting, the arrangement consideration is allocated to each element based upon its relative selling price. In determining the best evidence of selling price of a unit of account, the Company utilizes vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”), which is the price the Company charges when the deliverable is sold separately. When VSOE is not available, management uses relevant third-party evidence (“TPE”) of selling price, if available. When neither VSOE nor TPE of selling price exists, management uses its best estimate of selling price.

Goodwill

The Company accounts for purchased goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives in accordance with ASC 350 Goodwill, Intangible and Other Assets. Under ASC 350, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment at least annually. The Company's annual goodwill impairment test was conducted as of April 1, 2016. The Company assesses goodwill for possible impairment by comparing the carrying value of its reporting units to their fair values. The Company determines the fair value of its reporting units utilizing estimated future discounted cash flows and incorporates assumptions that it believes marketplace participants would utilize. In addition, the Company uses comparative market information and other factors to corroborate the discounted cash flow results.

Property and Equipment and Other Definite Lived Intangible Assets

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, including capital lease assets that are amortized over the shorter of their useful lives or the terms of the respective leases. The Company generally uses the following ranges of useful lives for its property and equipment categories: buildings and improvements — 5 to 50 years; machinery and equipment — 3 to 10 years; and furniture and fixtures — 3 to 7 years. Depreciation expense was $24.4 million and $49.2 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2016, respectively, and $23.5 million and $47.1 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2015, respectively. Depreciation expense includes amortization of assets related to capital leases. The Company charges repairs and maintenance costs to expense as incurred. The amount of capitalized interest was immaterial for all periods presented.

Table of Contents

Intangible assets with finite lives, primarily including customer relationships and patents and trademarks continue to be amortized over their useful lives. The Company evaluates the recoverability of its other long-lived assets, including amortizing intangible assets, if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred pursuant to ASC 360 Property, Plant and Equipment. This analysis is performed by comparing the respective carrying values of the assets to the current and expected future cash flows, on an un-discounted basis, to be generated from such assets. If such analysis indicates that the carrying value of these assets is not recoverable, the carrying value of such assets is reduced to fair value through a charge to the consolidated statements of operations. Fair value is determined based on assumptions the Company believes marketplace participants would utilize and comparable marketplace information in similar arm's length transactions.

Research and Development Costs

The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred. Costs incurred in connection with the development of new offerings and manufacturing process improvements are recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses. Such research and development costs included in selling, general and administrative expenses amounted to $1.5 million and $3.0 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2016, respectively, and $2.1 million and $3.7 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2015, respectively. Costs incurred in connection with research and development services the Company provides to customers and services performed in support of the commercial manufacturing process for customers are recorded within cost of sales. Such research and development costs included in cost of sales amounted to $11.0 million and $21.3 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2016, respectively, and $12.3 million and $24.1 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2015, respectively.

Earnings / (Loss) Per Share

The Company reports net earnings/(loss) per share pursuant to ASC 260 Earnings per Share. Under ASC 260, basic earnings per share, which excludes dilution, is computed by dividing net earnings or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution caused by securities that could be exercised or converted into common shares, and is computed by dividing net earnings or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive potential common shares. Diluted earnings per share includes in-the-money stock options, restricted stock units, and unvested restricted stock using the treasury stock method. During a loss period, the assumed exercise of in-the-money stock options has an anti-dilutive effect, and, therefore, these instruments are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share.

Equity-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for its equity-based compensation awards pursuant to ASC 718 Compensation—Stock Compensation. ASC 718 requires companies to recognize compensation expense using a fair value based method for costs related to share-based payments including stock options and restricted stock units. The expense is measured based on the grant date fair value of the awards that are expected to vest, and the expense is recorded over the applicable requisite service period using the accelerated attribution method. In the absence of an observable market price for a share-based award, the fair value is based upon a valuation methodology that takes into consideration various factors, including the exercise price of the award, the expected term of the award, the current price of the underlying shares, the expected volatility of the underlying share price based on peer companies, the expected dividends on the underlying shares and the risk-free interest rate.

The terms of the Company’s equity-based compensation plans permit shares that are issued upon an employee's exercise of an option to be withheld through a net settlement transaction as a means of meeting tax withholding requirements.

Marketable Securities

Marketable securities consist of investments that have a readily determinable fair value based on quoted market price of the investment, which is considered a Level 1 fair value measurement. Under ASC 320, Investments—Debt and Equity Securities, these investments are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at fair value in other current assets on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. Unrealized holding gains and losses are reported within accumulated other comprehensive income. Under the Company's accounting policy, a decline in the fair value of marketable securities is deemed to be "other than temporary" and such marketable securities are generally considered to be impaired if their fair value is less than the Company's cost basis for a period based on the particular facts and circumstances surrounding the investment. If a decline in the fair value of a marketable security below the Company's cost basis is determined to be other than temporary, such marketable security is written down to its estimated fair value as a new cost basis and the amount of the write-down is included in earnings as an impairment charge.

Recent Financial Accounting Standards

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which provided additional guidance on the definition of a business to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions of assets or businesses. The ASU will be effective for public reporting entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Accounting for Income Taxes: Intra-Entity Asset Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory, which reduces the complexity in accounting for income taxes by requiring the recognition of current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity asset transfer, other than inventory, when the transfer occurs. Historically, the income tax consequence of these transactions was not recognized until the asset was sold to an outside party. The guidance will be applied on a modified retrospective basis with a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The ASU will be effective for publicly reporting entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted only in the first interim period of a fiscal year. The Company elected to adopt ASU 2016-16 effective July 1, 2016, which resulted in a cumulative-effect adjustment of $34.2 million charged to the opening balance of the accumulated deficit, reduction to other non-current and current assets of $45.6 million and $6.6 million, respectively, increase in deferred tax assets of $14.7 million, and reduction of deferred tax liabilities of $3.2 million. The impact on net earnings and earnings per share in the current period was not material.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15 Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which provides clarification on the presentation and classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. The guidance will be effective for publicly reporting entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09 Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies the accounting for share-based payment transactions, requiring all excess tax benefits and deficiencies to be recognized in income tax expense or benefit in earnings. An entity can make an accounting policy election to either estimate the expected future forfeiture of awards or account for the cost or benefit as forfeitures occur. The guidance will be effective for publicly reporting entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period. The Company early-adopted ASU 2016-09 during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 on a modified retrospective basis, which had an effect on the consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income/(loss), and cash flows for the six months ended December 31, 2015. The consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss) and cash flows for the six months ended December 31, 2015 have been adjusted to reflect the changes in net earnings during that period as a result of the adoption of the new guidance. The following table summarizes the Company's As Reported and As Adjusted changes to the consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended December 31, 2015 (in millions):



	Six Months Ended
	December 31, 2015
(Dollars in millions, except per share amounts)	As Reported		As Adjusted
Income tax expense/(benefit)	$	14.1	$	11.2
Net earnings	39.5		42.4
Net earnings attributable to Catalent	$	39.8	$	42.7

Amounts attributable to Catalent:
Net earnings attributable to Catalent	39.8		42.7

Earnings per share attributable to Catalent:
Basic
Net earnings	0.32		0.34
Diluted
Net earnings	0.32		0.34

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842), which will supersede ASC 840 Leases. The new guidance requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets for the rights and obligations created by those leases. The guidance requires enhanced disclosures regarding the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases and will be effective for publicly reporting entities in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-07 Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent), which removes the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient. This guidance also removes the requirement to make certain disclosures for all investments that are eligible to be measured at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient. Rather, such disclosures are limited to investments for which the entity has elected to measure the fair value using that practical expedient. This guidance is effective retrospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company has adopted ASU 2015-07 effective July 1, 2016, the beginning of its fiscal year ending June 30, 2017, in accordance with the FASB's disclosure simplification initiatives. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance. The new guidance’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, the new guidance creates a five-step model that requires a company to exercise judgment when considering the terms of the contracts and all relevant facts and circumstances. The five steps require a company to identify customer contracts, identify the separate performance obligations, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to the separate performance obligations and recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. On July 9, 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of the effective date so that the new guidance is effective for public entities for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The new guidance allows for either full retrospective adoption, where the standard is applied to all periods presented, or modified retrospective adoption

Table of Contents

where the standard is applied only to the most current period presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has identified its revenue streams, reviewed the initial impacts of adopting of the new standard on those revenue streams, and appointed a governance committee and project management leader. The Company continues to evaluate the quantitative and qualitative impacts of the standard.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15 Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which requires management to evaluate, for each annual and interim reporting period, whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. If substantial doubt is raised, additional disclosures around management’s plan to alleviate these doubts are required. This update will become effective for all annual periods ending after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. This standard is not expected to have any impact on current disclosures in the financial statements.


2.	GOODWILL

The following table summarizes the changes between June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2016 in the carrying amount of goodwill in total and by reporting segment:



(Dollars in millions)	Softgel Technologies			Drug Delivery Solutions			Clinical Supply Services			Total

Balance at December 31, 2016	$	393.0		$	470.0		$	145.5		$	1,008.5

The $48.7 million addition in goodwill within DDS is associated with the acquisition of Pharmatek Laboratories, Inc. in September 2016 and the preliminary fair value allocation. The Company is in the process of finalizing the valuation of the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The goodwill addition reported above is based on the best current estimate of management. The fair value allocation is expected to be completed upon finalization of an independent appraisal over the next several months, but no later than one year from the acquisition date.

No goodwill impairment charge was required during the current or comparable prior year period. When required, impairment charges are recorded within the consolidated statements of operations as impairment charges and (gain)/loss on sale of assets.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities and Second Amendment

Borrowings under the term loan facilities and the revolving credit facility originally bore interest, at the Company’s option, at a rate equal to a margin over either (a) a base rate determined by reference to the higher of (1) the rate of interest published by The Wall Street Journal as its “prime lending rate” and (2) the federal funds rate plus one-half of 1% or (b) a LIBOR rate determined by reference to the London Interbank Offered Rate set by ICE Benchmark Administration (or any successor thereto). The applicable margin for the term loans and borrowings under the revolving credit facility may be reduced subject to the Company attaining a certain total net leverage ratio. The applicable margin for borrowings was originally 3.25% for loans based on a LIBOR rate and 2.50% for loans based on a base rate. The LIBOR rate for term loans is subject to a floor of 1.00% and the base rate for term loans is subject to a floor of 2.00%.

Table of Contents

On December 9, 2016, Operating Company completed the Second Amendment (the "Amendment") to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of May 20, 2014, governing all term loan facilities (as amended, the "Credit Agreement") to lower the interest rate on its U.S. dollar denominated and euro-denominated term loans. The new applicable rate for the U.S. dollar-denominated term loan is LIBOR (subject to a floor of 1.00%) plus 2.75%, which is 0.50% lower than the previous rate, and the new applicable rate for the euro-denominated term loans is LIBOR (subject to a floor of 1.00%) plus 2.50%, which is 0.75% lower than the previous rate. The Amendment further eliminates “step” pricing based on a measure of Operating Company's total leverage ratio. The Amendment also includes a prepayment premium of 1.0% in the event of another repricing event on or before the six-month anniversary of the Amendment. There is no change to maturities or covenants as a result of this repricing Amendment. In connection with the Amendment, the Company incurred $1.7 million of associated fees which were expensed in Other (Income) / Expense, net in the consolidated statement of operations.

4.75% Senior Euro-denominated Notes

On December 9, 2016, Operating Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, completed a private offering of €380.0 million aggregate principal of 4.75% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “Notes”). The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by all of the wholly owned U.S. subsidiaries of Operating Company that guarantee its senior secured credit facilities. The Notes were offered in the United States to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and outside the United States only to non-U.S. investors pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes will mature on December 15, 2024 and bear interest at the rate of 4.75% per annum and are payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The proceeds of the Notes were used to repay $200 million of outstanding borrowings on the U.S. dollar denominated term loan, pay the $81 million then outstanding under the revolving credit facility, pay accrued and unpaid interest and certain fees and expenses associated with the offering, fund a previously announced pending acquisition, and finally provide cash for general corporate purposes. In connection with the Notes offering and subsequent payment of the U.S. term loan, Operating Company incurred $6.9 million of third-party financing costs, of which $0.6 million was expensed, and a $2.0 million expense related to unamortized debt discount and deferred financing costs, respectively, both recorded in Other (Income) / Expense, net in the consolidated statement of operations.

Debt Covenants

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

The Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the Company’s (and the Company’s restricted subsidiaries’) ability to incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred shares; create liens on assets; engage in mergers and consolidations; sell assets; pay dividends and distributions or repurchase capital stock; repay subordinated indebtedness; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; make investments, loans or advances; make certain acquisitions; enter into sale and leaseback transactions, amend material agreements governing the Company’s subordinated indebtedness and change the Company’s lines of business.

The Credit Agreement also contains change of control provisions and certain customary affirmative covenants and events of default. The revolving credit facility requires compliance with a net leverage covenant when there is a 30% or more draw outstanding at a period end. As of December 31, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all material covenants related to its senior-secured obligations.

Subject to certain exceptions, the Credit Agreement permits the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to incur certain additional indebtedness, including secured indebtedness. None of the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries or Puerto Rico subsidiaries is a guarantor of the loans.

Under the Credit Agreement, the Company’s ability to engage in certain activities such as incurring certain additional indebtedness, making certain investments and paying certain dividends is tied to ratios based on Adjusted EBITDA (which is defined as “Consolidated EBITDA” in the Credit Agreement). Adjusted EBITDA is based on the definitions in the Credit Agreement and is not defined under U.S. GAAP, and is subject to important limitations.

4.75% Senior Euro-denominated Notes

The Indenture governing the Notes contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of Operating Company and its restricted subsidiaries to incur or guarantee more debt or issue certain preferred shares, pay dividends on, repurchase or make distributions in respect of their capital stock or make other restricted payments, make certain investments, sell certain assets, create liens, consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of their assets, enter into certain transactions with their affiliates, and designate their subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries. These covenants are subject to a number of exceptions, limitations and qualifications as set forth in the Indenture. The Indenture also contains

Table of Contents

customary events of default including, but not limited to, nonpayment, breach of covenants, and payment or acceleration defaults in certain other indebtedness of Operating Company or certain of its subsidiaries. Upon an event of default, either the holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes or the Trustee may declare the Notes immediately due and payable, or in certain circumstances, the Notes automatically will become immediately due and payable. As of December 31, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all material covenants related to the Notes.

Fair Value of Debt Measurements

The estimated fair value of the senior secured credit facility, which is considered a Level 2 liability, is based on the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on the current rates offered for debt of the same remaining maturities and considers collateral, if any. While the estimated fair value of the Notes, which is considered a Level 1 liability, is based on the quoted market prices of the instrument. The carrying amounts and the estimated fair values of financial instruments as of December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016 are as follows:



	December 31, 2016				June 30, 2016
(Dollars in millions)	Carrying Value		Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Value		Estimated Fair Value
Long-term debt and other	$	2,024.4	$	2,049.8	$	1,860.5	$	1,868.8


5.	EARNINGS PER SHARE

The reconciliations between basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to Catalent common shareholders for the three and six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, are as follows (dollars in millions, except per share data):



	Three Months Ended December 31,				Six Months Ended December 31,
	2016		2015		2016		2015
Net earnings attributable to Catalent	$	17.4	$	30.7	$	22.0	$	42.7

Weighted average shares outstanding	124,889,681		124,818,241		124,870,327		124,785,737
Dilutive securities issuable-stock plans	1,524,963		1,008,439		1,470,476		1,157,119
Total weighted average diluted shares outstanding	126,414,644		125,826,680		126,340,803		125,942,856

Basic earnings per share of common stock:
Net earnings attributable to Catalent	$	0.14	$	0.25	$	0.18	$	0.34

Diluted earnings per share of common stock - assuming dilution:
Net earnings attributable to Catalent	$	0.14	$	0.24	$	0.17	$	0.34

The computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended December 31, 2016 excludes the effect of 0.5 million shares potentially issuable pursuant to awards granted under the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan, because the vesting provisions of those awards specify performance-based conditions that had not been met as of the period end. The computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended December 31, 2015 excludes the effect of 1.9 million shares potentially issuable pursuant to awards granted under the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan and the 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan, because the vesting provisions of those awards specify performance- or market-based conditions that had not been met as of the period end. Further, the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 excludes the effect of potential common shares issuable under the employee stock option plan and restricted stock units of approximately 0.9 million and 0.8 million shares, respectively, because they are anti-dilutive. The computation of diluted earnings per share for the six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 excludes the effect of potential common shares issuable under the employee stock option plan and restricted stock units of approximately 1.1 million and 1.0 million shares, respectively, because they are anti-dilutive.

7.	RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER COSTS

Restructuring Costs

The Company has implemented plans to restructure certain operations, both domestically and internationally. The restructuring plans focused on various aspects of operations, including closing and consolidating certain manufacturing operations, rationalizing headcount and aligning operations in a strategic and more cost-efficient structure. In addition, the Company may incur restructuring charges in the future in cases where a material change in the scope of operation with its business occurs. Employee-related costs consist primarily of severance costs and also include outplacement services provided to employees who have been involuntarily terminated and duplicate payroll costs during transition periods. Facility exit and other costs consist of accelerated depreciation, equipment relocation costs and costs associated with planned facility expansions and closures to streamline Company operations.

Other Costs

Other costs include settlement charges, net of any insurance recoveries related to the probable resolution of certain customer claims related to the temporary suspension of operations at our softgel manufacturing facility in Beinheim, France. Refer to Note 12 Commitments and Contingencies for further discussions of such claims.

The following table summarizes the significant costs recorded within restructuring costs:

8.	DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

The Company is exposed to fluctuations in the applicable exchange rate on its investments in foreign operations. While the Company does not actively hedge against changes in foreign currency, the Company has mitigated its exposure from its investments in its European operations by denominating a portion of its debt in euros. At December 31, 2016, the Company had euro-denominated debt outstanding of $717.1 million that is designated and qualifies as a hedge of a net investment in foreign operations. For non-derivatives designated and qualifying as net investment hedges, the effective portions of the translation gains or losses are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) as part of the cumulative translation adjustment. The ineffective portions of the translation gains or losses are reported in the statement of operations. The following table includes net investment hedge activity during the three and six months ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Table of Contents



	Three Months Ended December 31,				Six Months Ended December 31,
(Dollars in millions)	2016		2015		2016		2015
Unrealized foreign exchange gain/(loss) within other comprehensive income	$	13.6	$	2.5	$	10.0	$	2.5
Unrealized foreign exchange gain/(loss) within statement of operations	$	10.2	$	4.3	$	7.6	$	4.3

The net accumulated gain of the instrument designated as the hedge as of December 31, 2016 within other comprehensive income/(loss) was approximately $91.4 million. Amounts are reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) into earnings when the entity to which the gains and losses relate is either sold or substantially liquidated.


9.	INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740 Income Taxes. Generally, fluctuations in the effective tax rate are primarily due to changes in U.S. and non-U.S. pretax income resulting from the Company’s business mix and changes in the tax impact of special items and other discrete tax items, which may have unique tax implications depending on the nature of the item. Such discrete items include, but are not limited to, changes in foreign statutory tax rates, the amortization of certain assets, and the tax impact of changes in its ASC 740 unrecognized tax benefit reserves. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities around the world, including such major jurisdictions as the United States, Germany, France, and the United Kingdom. The Company is no longer subject to new non-U.S. income tax examinations for years prior to fiscal year 2007. Under the terms of the 2007 purchase agreement by which the selling stockholders acquired their interest in the Company, the Company is indemnified by its former owner for tax liabilities that may arise after the 2007 purchase that relate to tax periods prior to April 10, 2007. The indemnification agreement applies to, among other taxes, any and all federal, state and international income-based taxes as well as related interest and penalties. As of December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016, approximately $0.8 million and $1.7 million, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefit is subject to indemnification by the Company's former owner.

ASC 740 includes guidance on the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements. This standard provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeal or litigation process, based on the technical merits. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had a total of $61.3 million of unrecognized tax benefits. A reconciliation of its reserves for uncertain tax positions, excluding accrued interest and penalties, for December 31, 2016 is as follows:



(Dollars in millions)
Balance at June 30, 2016	$	61.5
Additions for tax positions of current year	1.6
Reductions for tax positions of prior years	(1.7		)
Lapse of the applicable statute of limitations	(0.1		)
Balance at December 31, 2016	$	61.3

As of December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016, the Company had a total of $66.8 million and $67.1 million, respectively, of uncertain tax positions (including accrued interest and penalties). As of these dates, $45.7 million and $45.7 million, respectively, represent the amount of unrecognized tax benefits, which, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective income tax rate. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. As of December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016, the Company has approximately $5.5 million and $5.6 million, respectively, of accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions. As of these dates, the portion of such interest and penalties subject to indemnification by its former owner is $1.7 million and $2.1 million, respectively.

As previously disclosed with regard to the Company’s participation in a multi-employer pension plan, the Company notified the plan trustees of its withdrawal from such plan in fiscal 2012. The actuarial review process, which is administered by the plan trustees, was completed during the third quarter of fiscal 2015. The liability reported reflects the present value of the Company's expected future long-term obligations. The estimated discounted value of the projected contributions related to these plans is $39.1 million as of December 31, 2016 and $39.3 million as of June 30, 2016 and is included within pension liability on the consolidated balance sheets. The annual cash impact associated with the Company's obligation in the multi-employer pension plan approximates $1.7 million per year.

The Company held an investment in a specialty pharmaceutical company whose securities were not publicly traded, which was previously accounted for as cost method investment. In the second quarter of fiscal 2017, the specialty pharmaceutical company became publicly traded after an initial public offering and as a result the Company recognized an unrealized gain on the investment of $15.3 million, net of tax. This amount is reflected in other comprehensive income.


12.	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Changes to the operations of the Company’s Beinheim, France facility to address the issues leading to a temporary suspension of operations imposed by French authorities during November 2015-April 2016 have increased the cost and therefore may affect the profitability of its operation. In addition, more than 25 customers of the facility have presented claims against the Company for alleged losses, including lost profits and other types of indirect or consequential damages, that they have allegedly suffered due to the temporary suspension or have reserved their right to do so subsequently. The Company is unable to estimate at this time either the total value of claims that are reasonably possible to be asserted with respect to this matter or the likely cost to resolve them, although (a) during the second quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company settled or otherwise acknowledged claims relating to this matter totaling $1.7 million, $1.3 million of which has been or is expected to be reimbursed by insurance, (b) the Company recorded an additional $3.2 million for claim amounts that the Company deemed to be both probable and reasonably estimable but is not currently in a position to record under GAAP any insurance recovery with respect to such costs, and (c) certain customers have presented the Company with support for other claims having an aggregate claim value of approximately $35 million. It is noteworthy that, to date, none of the asserted claims takes into account limitations of liability in the contracts governing these claims or any other defense that the Company may assert. In addition, the Company may have insurance for additional costs it may incur as a result of such claims, subject to various deductibles and other limitations, but there can be no assurance as to the aggregate amount or timing of insurance recoveries against any such costs. The Company previously recorded $1.5 million of expense for this matter in fiscal 2016 with respect to amounts to be applied against insurance deductibles.

From time to time, the Company may be involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including, without limitation, inquiries and claims concerning environmental contamination as well as litigation and allegations in connection with acquisitions, product liability, manufacturing or packaging defects and claims for reimbursement for the cost of lost or damaged active pharmaceutical ingredients, the cost of which could be significant. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against any such litigation and does not currently believe that the outcome of any such litigation will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial statements. In addition, the healthcare industry is highly regulated and government agencies continue to scrutinize certain practices affecting government programs and otherwise.

From time to time, the Company receives subpoenas or requests for information relating to the business practices and activities of customers or suppliers from various governmental agencies or private parties, including from state attorneys general, the U.S. Department of Justice, and private parties engaged in patent infringement, antitrust, tort, and other litigation. The Company generally responds to such subpoenas and requests in a timely and thorough manner, which responses sometimes require considerable time and effort and can result in considerable costs being incurred. The Company expects to incur costs in future periods in connection with future requests.


13.	SEGMENT INFORMATION

As discussed in Note 1, the Company conducts its business within the following operating segments: Softgel Technologies, Drug Delivery Solutions, and Clinical Supply Services. The Company evaluates the performance of its segments

Table of Contents

based on segment earnings before noncontrolling interest, other (income) expense, impairments, restructuring costs, interest expense, income tax (benefit)/expense, and depreciation and amortization (“Segment EBITDA”). EBITDA from continuing operations is consolidated earnings from continuing operations before interest expense, income tax (benefit)/expense, depreciation and amortization and is adjusted for the income or loss attributable to noncontrolling interest. The Company’s presentation of Segment EBITDA and EBITDA from continuing operations are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

All prior period comparative segment information has been restated to reflect the current reportable segments in accordance with ASC 280 Segment Reporting. The following tables include net revenue and Segment EBITDA during the three and six months ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

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

The Company

We are the leading global provider of advanced delivery technologies and development solutions for drugs, biologics and consumer and animal health products. Our oral, injectable, and respiratory delivery technologies provide delivery solutions across the full diversity of the pharmaceutical industry, including small molecules, large molecule biologics and consumer and animal health products. Through our extensive capabilities and deep expertise in product development, we help our customers take products to market faster, including nearly half of new drug products approved by the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in the last decade. Our advanced delivery technology platforms, which include those in our Softgel Technologies and our Drug Delivery Solutions segments, our proven formulation, manufacturing and regulatory expertise and our broad and deep intellectual property enable our customers needs to develop more products and better treatments for patients and consumers. Across both development and delivery, our commitment to reliably supply our customers’ and their patients' needs is the foundation for the value we provide; annually, we produce more than 70 billion doses for nearly 7,000 customer products or approximately one in every twenty doses of such products taken each year by patients and consumers around the world. We believe that through our investments in growth-enabling capacity and capabilities, our ongoing focus on operational and quality excellence, the sales of existing customer products, the introduction of new customer products, our innovation activities and patents, and our entry into new markets, we will continue to benefit from attractive and differentiated margins, and realize the growth potential from these areas.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, we engaged in a business reorganization to better align our internal business unit structure with our strategy to “follow the molecule” by providing solutions to our customers across all phases of the product lifecycle. Under the revised structure, we have created a Drug Delivery Solutions (“DDS”) operating segment, which encompasses all of our modified release technologies; prefilled syringes and other injectable formats; blow-fill seal unit dose development and manufacturing; biologic cell line development; analytical services; micronization technologies; and other conventional oral dose forms under a single DDS management team. Additionally, as part of the re-alignment, we have created a stand-alone Clinical Supply Services (“CSS”) operating segment and management team with a sole focus on providing global clinical supply chain management services that aim to speed our customers' drugs to market. Further, as a result of the business unit re-alignment, our Softgel Technologies business now reports as a distinct operating segment. Our operating segments are the same as our reporting segments. All prior period comparative segment information has been restated to reflect the current reportable segments in accordance with ASC 280 Segment Reporting.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We prepare our financial statements in accordance with GAAP. These standards require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory and long-lived asset valuation, goodwill and other intangible asset impairment, income taxes, derivative financial instruments, self-insurance accruals, loss contingencies and restructuring charge reserves. Actual amounts may differ from these estimated amounts.

There was no material change to our critical accounting policies or in the underlying accounting assumptions and estimates from those described in our fiscal year 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K, other than recently adopted accounting principles for the issuance of ASU 2016-16, Accounting for Income Taxes: Intra-Entity Asset Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory as disclosed in note 1 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which adoption had no material impact on net earnings.

Non-GAAP Performance Metrics

Use of EBITDA from continuing operations

Management measures operating performance based on consolidated earnings from continuing operations before interest expense, expense/(benefit) for income taxes and depreciation and amortization and is adjusted for the income or loss attributable to noncontrolling interest (“EBITDA from continuing operations”). EBITDA from continuing operations is not defined under GAAP and is not a measure of operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP and is subject to important limitations.

We believe that the presentation of EBITDA from continuing operations enhances an investor’s understanding of our financial performance. We believe this measure is a useful financial metric to assess our operating performance from period to period by excluding certain items that we believe are not representative of our core business and use this measure for business

Table of Contents

planning purposes. In addition, given the significant investments that we have made in the past in property, plant and equipment, depreciation and amortization expenses represent a meaningful portion of our cost structure. We believe that EBITDA from continuing operations will provide investors with a useful tool for assessing the comparability between periods of our ability to generate cash from operations sufficient to pay taxes, to service debt and to undertake capital expenditures because it eliminates depreciation and amortization expense. We present EBITDA from continuing operations in order to provide supplemental information that we consider relevant for the readers of our consolidated financial statements, and such information is not meant to replace or supersede GAAP measures. Our definition of EBITDA from continuing operations may not be the same as similarly titled measures used by other companies. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to EBITDA from continuing operations is earnings/(loss) from continuing operations. Included in this report is a reconciliation of earnings/(loss) from continuing operations to EBITDA from continuing operations.

In addition, we evaluate the performance of our segments based on segment earnings before noncontrolling interest, other (income)/expense, impairments, restructuring costs, interest expense, income tax expense/(benefit), and depreciation and amortization (“Segment EBITDA”).

Use of Constant Currency

As exchange rates are an important factor in understanding period-to-period comparisons, we believe the presentation of results on a constant currency basis in addition to reported results helps improve investors’ ability to understand our operating results and evaluate our performance in comparison to prior periods. Constant currency information compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period-over-period. We use results on a constant currency basis as one measure to evaluate our performance. In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we compute constant currency by calculating current-year results using prior-year foreign currency exchange rates. We generally refer to such amounts calculated on a constant currency basis as excluding the impact of foreign exchange. These results should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, results reported in accordance with GAAP. Results on a constant currency basis, as we present them, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and are not measures of performance presented in accordance with GAAP.

Other Non-GAAP Measures

Organic revenue growth and segment EBITDA growth are useful measures calculated by the Company to explain the underlying results and trends in the business. Organic revenue growth and segment EBITDA growth are measures used to show current year sales and earnings from existing operations and include joint ventures and revenue from product participation related activities entered into within the year. Organic revenue growth and segment EBITDA growth exclude the impact of foreign currency, acquisitions of operating or legal entities and divestitures within the year. These measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, performance measures reported in accordance with GAAP. These measures, as we present them, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and are not measures of performance presented in accordance with GAAP.

Net Revenue

Net revenue increased $44.8 million, or 10%, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2015, excluding the impact of foreign exchange. The increase in net revenue was driven by increased sales across all three reportable segments, led primarily by our Softgel Technologies segment. The increase in net revenue was primarily due to increased end market volume demand for our higher margin prescription products in Europe within our Softgel Technologies segment, favorable end market customer demand for certain offerings within our oral delivery solutions platform and our biologics offerings within our Drug Delivery Solutions segment. We also acquired Pharmatek Laboratories, Inc. in September 2016, which favorably impacted net revenue, partially offset by the resolution of volume commitments in the prior year within our Drug Delivery Solutions segment.

Gross Margin

Gross margin increased $2.6 million, or 2%, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2015, excluding the impact of foreign exchange, primarily due to increased gross margin within our Softgel Technologies segment driven by a favorable mix shift to higher margin prescription products, partially offset by decreased gross margin within our Drug Delivery Solutions segment primarily driven by the timing of the resolution of volume commitments in the prior year. On a constant currency basis, gross margin, as a percentage of revenue, decreased 240 basis points to 31.0% in the three months ended December 31, 2016, as compared to 33.4% in the prior year primarily driven by the timing of the resolution of volume commitments in the prior year within our Drug Delivery Solutions segment.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $5.0 million, or 5%, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2015, excluding the impact of foreign exchange, primarily due to incremental employee-related costs of approximately $8 million, of which $2.4 million is attributable to an increase in our non-cash equity-based compensation plans. Other increases to employee-related cost included inflationary increases, certain employee relocation and recruiting costs and health and wellness costs. Equity-based compensation expense increased as a result of a change from a cash-based long-term incentive plan to an equity-based long-term incentive plan. Selling, general and administrative expenses further increased approximately $2.0 million related to integration-related costs, offset by a decrease in acquisition-related transactions costs of approximately $2.0 million. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased approximately $2.0 million as a result of a reduction of our bad debt expense due to cash recoveries and a reduction of our reserve during the quarter. Selling, general and administrative expenses further decreased approximately $2.0 million due to a reduction in expense related to the temporary suspension of operations at our softgel manufacturing facility in Beinheim, France from November 2015 to April 2016.

Restructuring and Other

Restructuring and other costs of $3.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016 increased $2.8 million compared to the three months ended December 31, 2015, excluding the impact of foreign exchange. The three months ended December 31, 2016 included restructuring activities enacted to improve cost efficiency primarily related to employee severance expenses and facility exit costs associated with planned facility expansions and closures to streamline Company operations. Restructuring expense will vary period to period based on the level of recent acquisitions and site consolidation efforts to further streamline the business. Other costs included claim resolution charges of $3.2 million (without regard to possible future insurance recoveries) related to the temporary suspension of operations at our softgel manufacturing facility in Beinheim, France.

Interest Expense, net

Interest expense, net of $22.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016 increased by $0.5 million, or 2%, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2015, primarily driven by an average higher level of outstanding debt resulting from an outstanding revolver balance during the period and new euro-denominated 4.75% Senior Notes due 2024 (the "Notes"), offset by principal payments on our term loans and an overall reduction in December 2016 in our interest rates on our senior secured credit facility as compared to the prior period. On December 12, 2016, we completed a private offering of €380.0 million aggregate principal amount ($391 million U.S. dollar equivalent) of the Notes. The proceeds of the Notes were used to repay $200 million of outstanding borrowings on our U.S. dollar denominated term loan, pay the $81 million then outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, pay accrued and unpaid interest and certain fees and expenses associated with the offering, fund a previously announced pending acquisition, and provide cash for general corporate purposes. The net increase to our outstanding debt balance is $164 million as compared to June 30, 2016. Concurrent with the private offering of the Notes, we repriced our senior secured credit facilities to lower the interest rate on our U.S. dollar-denominated and euro-denominated term loans. The new applicable rate for the U.S. dollar-denominated term loans is 0.50% lower than the previous rate and the new applicable rate for the euro-denominated term loans is 0.75% lower than the previous rate.

Other (Income)/Expense, net

Other income was $1.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016 compared to $3.5 million of other expense for the three months ended December 31, 2015. Other income for the three months ended December 31, 2016 was primarily driven by non-cash net gains of $5.2 million related to foreign currency translation, partially offset by $4.3 million of financing charges related to the December 2016 private offering of the Notes and the repricing and partial paydown of the Company's term loans.

Provision/(Benefit) for Income Taxes

Our provision for income taxes for the three months ended December 31, 2016 was $9.5 million relative to earnings from continuing operations before income taxes of $26.9 million. Our provision for income taxes for the three months ended December 31, 2015 was $9.2 million relative to earnings from continuing operations before income taxes of $39.8 million. The income tax provision for the current period is not comparable to the same period of the prior year due to changes in pretax income over many jurisdictions and the impact of discrete items. Generally, fluctuations in the effective tax rate are primarily due to changes in our geographic pretax income resulting from our business mix and changes in the tax impact of permanent differences, restructuring, other special items and other discrete tax items, which may have unique tax implications depending on the nature of the item. Our effective tax rate at December 31, 2016 reflects benefits derived from operations outside the United States, which are generally taxed at lower rates than the U.S. statutory rate of 35% as well as the benefits of favorable tax rate changes.

Net Revenue

Net revenue increased by $75.3 million, or 9%, as compared to the six months ended December 31, 2015, excluding the impact of foreign exchange. The increase in net revenue was driven by higher sales across all three reportable segments, led by our Drug Delivery Solutions and Softgel Technologies segments. The increase in net revenue was primarily due to favorable end customer demand for our biologics offerings and certain offerings within our oral delivery solutions platform within our Drug Delivery Solutions segment. In addition, net revenue increased due to end-market volume demand for our higher margin prescription products in Europe within our Softgel Technologies segment. We also acquired Pharmatek Laboratories, Inc.in September 2016, which favorably impacted net revenue, partially offset by the resolution of volume commitments in the prior year within our Drug Delivery Solutions segment.

Gross Margin

Gross margin increased by $10.9 million, or 4%, as compared to the six months ended December 31, 2015, excluding the impact of foreign exchange, primarily due to increased gross margin within our Softgel Technologies segment driven by increased volume and a favorable mix shift to higher margin prescription products and by increased volumes and favorable product mix within our analytical services platform and our biologics offering within our Drug Delivery Solutions segment, partially offset by the timing of the resolution of volume commitments in the prior year. On a constant currency basis, gross margin, as a percentage of revenue, decreased 140 basis points to 29.8% in the six months ended December 31, 2016 as compared to 31.2% in the prior year, primarily driven by the timing of the resolution of volume commitments in the prior year, partially offset by a favorable shift in product mix as described above.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense

Selling, general and administrative expense increased $22.5 million, or 13%, as compared to the six months ended December 31, 2015, excluding the impact of foreign exchange, primarily due to incremental employee-related costs of approximately $19 million, of which $6.7 million was attributable to an increase in our non-cash equity-based compensation plans. Other increases to employee-related cost included inflationary increases, certain employee retention, relocation and recruiting costs and health and wellness costs. Equity-based compensation expense increased as a result of a change from a cash-based long-term incentive plan to an equity-based long-term incentive plan, an acceleration of expense related to

retirement-eligible employees and incremental expense related to stock options that vested upon achieving certain return on invested capital targets. Selling, general and administrative expenses also increased approximately $1.0 million associated with acquisition-related transaction costs, most of which ultimately did not result in completed acquisitions, and approximately $3.0 million related to integration-related costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased approximately $2.0 million as a result of a reduction of our bad debt expense due to cash recoveries and a reduction of our reserve during the quarter. Selling, general and administrative expenses further decreased approximately $1.0 million due to a reduction in expense related to the temporary suspension of operations at our softgel manufacturing facility in Beinheim, France.

Restructuring and Other

Restructuring and other charges of $4.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2016 increased by $2.8 million, compared to the six months ended December 31, 2015. The six months ended December 31, 2016 included restructuring activities of $1.3 million enacted to improve cost efficiency primarily related to employee severance expenses. Restructuring expense will vary period to period based on the level of acquisitions during the year and site consolidation efforts to further streamline the business. Other costs included claim resolution charges of $3.2 million (without regard to possible future insurance recoveries), related to the temporary suspension of operations at our softgel manufacturing facility in Beinheim, France.

Interest Expense, net

Interest expense, net of $44.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2016 decreased as compared to the six months ended December 31, 2015. On December 12, 2016, we completed the private offering of the Notes. The proceeds of the Notes were used to repay $200 million of outstanding borrowings on the U.S. dollar denominated term loan, pay the $81 million then outstanding under our revolving credit facility, pay accrued and unpaid interest and certain fees and expenses associated with the offering, fund a previously announced pending acquisition, and provide cash for general corporate purposes. Concurrent with the private offering of the Notes, we repriced our senior secured credit facilities to lower the interest rate on our U.S. dollar-denominated and euro-denominated term loans. The new applicable rate for U.S. dollar-denominated term loans is 0.50% lower than the previous rate and the new applicable rate for euro-denominated term loans is 0.75% lower than the previous rate.

Other (Income)/Expense, net

Other income, net of $3.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2016 was primarily driven by non-cash net gains from foreign exchange translation recorded during the period of $7.5 million, partially offset by $4.3 million of financing charges related to the December 2015 private offering of the Notes and the repricing and partial paydown of the senior secured credit facility. Other income, net for the six months ended December 31, 2015 of $2.9 million was primarily driven by non-cash net gains from foreign exchange translation recorded during the period of $3.9 million.

Provision/(Benefit) for Income Taxes

Our provision for income taxes for the six months ended December 31, 2016 was $9.7 million relative to earnings before income taxes of $31.7 million. Our provision for income taxes for the six months ended December 31, 2015 was $11.2 million relative to earnings before income taxes of $53.6 million. The income tax provision for the current period is not comparable to the same period of the prior year due to changes in pretax income over many jurisdictions and the impact of discrete items.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources and Uses of Cash

Our principal source of liquidity has been cash flows generated from operations. The principal uses of cash are to fund planned operating and capital expenditures, interest payments on debt and any mandatory or discretionary principal payments on debt issuances. In the second quarter of fiscal 2017, we also obtained cash available for general corporate purposes from the offering of the Notes. As of December 31, 2016, our financing needs were supported by $200 million of available funds under our revolving credit facility, which was reduced by $13.0 million of outstanding letters of credit. The revolving credit facility matures in May 2019.

On October 29, 2015, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program to use up to $100.0 million to repurchase shares of our outstanding common stock. Under the program, we are authorized to repurchase shares through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise as permitted by applicable federal securities laws. There has been no purchase pursuant to this program as of December 31, 2016.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our consolidated statement of cash flows from continuing operations:



	Six Months Ended December 31,
(Dollars in millions)	2016			2015			Difference
Net cash provided by/(used in):
Operating activities	$	96.0		$	71.5		$	24.5
Investing activities	$	(138.5	)	$	(82.5	)	$	(56.0	)
Financing activities	$	175.7		$	(20.9	)	$	196.6

Operating Activities

For the six months ended December 31, 2016, cash provided by operating activities was $96.0 million compared to $71.5 million for the comparable prior-year period, driven by favorable working capital changes in the six months ended December 31, 2016 partially offset by a decrease in operating earnings from continuing operations compared to the six months ended December 31, 2015.

Investing Activities

For the six months ended December 31, 2016, cash used in investing activities was $138.5 million compared to $82.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2015, primarily driven by $85.7 million of cash paid for the acquisition of Pharmatek Laboratories, Inc. net of cash acquired, in the six months ended December 31, 2016. There was no completed acquisition in fiscal 2016. Acquisitions of property, plant and equipment totaled $54.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2016 compared to $82.5 million in the six months ended December 31, 2015.

Financing Activities

For the six months ended December 31, 2016, cash provided by financing activities was $175.7 million compared to cash used in financing activities of $20.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2015, primarily driven by proceeds of $397.4 million raised as part of our Notes offering in December 2016. The proceeds of the Notes were used to repay $200 million of outstanding borrowings on the U.S. dollar denominated term loan, pay the $81 million then outstanding under our revolving credit facility, pay accrued and unpaid interest and certain fees and expenses associated with the offering, fund a previously announced pending acquisition, and provide cash for general corporate purposes. In connection with the Notes offering and subsequent partial paydown of the U.S. term loan, the Company incurred $6.9 million of third-party financing costs, of which $0.6 million was expensed, and a $2.0 million expense related to unamortized debt discount and deferred financing costs respectively, both recorded in Other (Income) / Expense, net in the consolidated statement of operations.

Guarantees and Security

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

All obligations under the Operating Company's term loan facilities (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) and the guarantees of those obligations are secured by substantially all of the following assets of Operating Company and each guarantor, subject to certain exceptions:


•	a pledge of 100% of the capital stock of the borrower and 100% of the equity interests directly held by the borrower and each guarantor in any wholly owned material subsidiary of the borrower or any guarantor (which pledge, in the case of any non-U.S. subsidiary of a U.S. subsidiary, will not include more than 65% of the voting stock of such non-U.S. subsidiary); and


•	a security interest in, and mortgages on, substantially all tangible and intangible assets of the borrower and of each guarantor, subject to certain limited exceptions.

Table of Contents

4.75% Senior Notes Due 2024

All obligations under the Notes are general, unsecured and subordinated to all existing and future secured indebtedness of the guarantors to the extent of the value of the asset securing such indebtedness. The Notes are guaranteed by all of Operating Company's wholly owned U.S. subsidiaries that guarantee the senior secured credit facilities. The Notes are not guaranteed by either PTS Intermediate Holdings, LLC or Catalent, Inc.

Debt Covenants

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

The agreement governing the Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, Operating Company’s (and Operating Company’s restricted subsidiaries’) ability to incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred shares; create liens on assets; engage in mergers and consolidations; sell assets; pay dividends and distributions or repurchase capital stock; repay subordinated indebtedness; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; make investments, loans or advances; make certain acquisitions; enter into sale and leaseback transactions, amend material agreements governing Operating Company’s subordinated indebtedness and change Operating Company’s lines of business.

Our Credit Agreement also contains change of control provisions and certain customary affirmative covenants and events of default. The revolving credit facility requires compliance with a net leverage covenant when there is a 30% or more draw outstanding at a period end. As of December 31, 2016, we were in compliance with all covenants related to our senior-secured obligations.

Subject to certain exceptions, our Credit Agreement permits us and our restricted subsidiaries to incur certain additional indebtedness, including secured indebtedness. None of our non-U.S. subsidiaries or Puerto Rico subsidiaries is a guarantor of the loans.

As market conditions warrant, we and our affiliates may from time to time seek to purchase our outstanding debt in privately negotiated or open market transactions, by tender offer or otherwise. Subject to any applicable limitation contained in the Credit Agreement, any purchase made by us may be funded by the use of cash on our balance sheet or the incurrence of new secured or unsecured debt. The amounts involved in any such purchase transactions, individually or in the aggregate, may be material. Any such purchase may be with respect to a substantial amount of a particular class or series of debt, with the attendant reduction in the trading liquidity of such class or series. In addition, any such purchases made at prices below the “adjusted issue price” (as defined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) may result in taxable cancellation of indebtedness income to us, which amounts may be material, and in related adverse tax consequences to us.

4.75% Senior Notes Due 2024

The Indenture governing the Notes contains covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of Operating Company and its restricted subsidiaries to incur or guarantee more debt or issue certain preferred shares, pay dividends on, repurchase or make distributions in respect of their capital stock or make other restricted payments, make certain investments, sell certain assets, create liens, consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of their assets, enter into certain transactions with their affiliates, and designate their subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries. These covenants are subject to a number of exceptions, limitations and qualifications as set forth in the Indenture. The Indenture also contains customary events of default including, but not limited to, nonpayment, breach of covenants, and payment or acceleration defaults in certain other indebtedness of Operating Company or certain of its subsidiaries. Upon an event of default, either the holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes or the Trustee may declare the Notes immediately due and payable, or in certain circumstances, the Notes automatically will become due and immediately payable. As of December 31, 2016, we were in compliance with all covenants related to the Notes obligations.

As of December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016, the amounts of cash and cash equivalents held by foreign subsidiaries were $246.4 million and $129.1 million, respectively, out of the total consolidated cash and cash equivalents of $255.8 million and $131.6 million, respectively. These balances are dispersed across many international locations around the world. It is our intention to indefinitely reinvest undistributed earnings of our foreign legal entities. In the event we needed to repatriate funds from outside United States, such repatriation will be subject to tax consequences including foreign withholding taxes or U.S. income taxes. Our intent is to continue to reinvest undistributed earnings of our foreign local entities and we do not currently plan to repatriate them to fund our operations in the United States. In the event we need to repatriate funds from outside of the United States, such repatriation would likely be subject to restrictions by local laws and/or tax consequences, including foreign withholding taxes or U.S. income taxes. It is not feasible to estimate the amount of U.S. tax that might be payable on the remittance of such earnings.

Backlog

While we generally have long-term supply agreements that provide for a revenue stream over a period of years, our backlog represents, as of a point in time, future service revenues from work not yet completed. For our Softgel and DDS segments, backlog represents firm orders for manufacturing services and includes minimum volumes, where applicable. For our Clinical Services Supply segment, backlog represents estimated future service revenues from work not yet completed under signed contracts. Using these methods of reporting backlog, as of December 31, 2016, backlog was approximately $958.3 million, compared to approximately $827.5 million as of June 30, 2016, including approximately $333.8 million and $292.1 million, respectively, related to our Clinical Supply Services segment. We expect to recognize approximately 67% of revenue from the backlog in existence as of December 31, 2016 by June 30, 2017.

To the extent projects are delayed, the timing of our revenue could be affected. If a customer cancels an order, we may be reimbursed for the costs we have incurred. For orders that are placed inside a contractual firm period, we generally have a contractual right to payment in the event of cancellation. Fluctuations in our reported backlog levels also result from the timing and order pattern of our customers who often seek to manage their level of inventory on hand. Because of customer ordering patterns, our backlog reported for certain periods may fluctuate and may not be indicative of future results.

Interest Rate Risk Management

A portion of the debt used to finance our operations is exposed to interest-rate fluctuations. We may use various hedging strategies and derivative financial instruments to create an appropriate mix of fixed-and floating-rate assets and liabilities. Historically, we have used interest-rate swaps to manage the economic effect of variable rate interest obligations associated with our floating-rate term loans so that the interest payable on the term loans effectively becomes fixed at a certain rate, thereby reducing the impact of future interest-rate changes on our future interest expense. As of December 31, 2016, we did not have any interest-rate swap agreements in place that would have the economic effect of modifying the variable interest obligations associated with our floating-rate term loans.

Currency Risk Management

We are exposed to fluctuations in the EUR-USD exchange rate on our investments in our operations in Europe. While we do not actively hedge against changes in foreign currency, we have mitigated the exposure of our investments in our European operations by denominating a portion of our debt in euros. At December 31, 2016, we had $717.1 million of euro-denominated debt outstanding that qualifies as a hedge of a net investment in foreign operations. Refer to Note 8 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion of net investment hedge activity in the period.

Periodically, we may utilize forward currency exchange contracts to manage our exposure to the variability of cash flows primarily related to the foreign exchange rate changes of future foreign currency transaction costs. In addition, we may utilize foreign currency forward contracts to protect the value of existing foreign currency assets and liabilities. Currently, we do not utilize foreign currency exchange contracts. We expect to continue to evaluate hedging opportunities for foreign currency in the future.

Contractual Obligations

Besides the changes in our long-term obligations related to our debt facilities and the offering of the Notes as disclosed in Liquidity and Capital Resources earlier in this Item, there has been no significant change to our contractual obligations since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended June 30, 2016.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Other than operating leases and outstanding letters of credit as discussed above, we do not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2016.

Item 3.	QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to cash flow and earnings fluctuations as a result of certain market risks. These market risks primarily relate to changes in interest rates associated with our long-term debt obligations and foreign exchange rate changes.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company has historically used interest-rate swaps to manage the economic effect of variable rate interest obligations associated with our floating-rate term loans so that the interest payable on the term loans effectively becomes fixed at a certain rate, thereby reducing the impact of future interest-rate changes on our future interest expense. As of December 31, 2016, we did not have any interest-rate swap agreements in place that would either have the economic effect of modifying the variable interest obligations associated with our floating-rate term loans or would be considered an effective cash flow hedge for financial reporting purposes.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

By the nature of our global operations, we are exposed to cash flow and earnings fluctuations resulting from foreign exchange rate variation. These exposures are transactional and translational in nature. Since we manufacture and sell our products throughout the world, our foreign currency risk is diversified. Principal drivers of this diversified foreign exchange exposure include the European euro, British pound, Argentinean peso, Brazilian real and Australian dollar. Our transactional exposure arises from the purchase and sale of goods and services in currencies other than the functional currency of our operational units. We also have exposure related to the translation of financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars, the functional currency of the parent. The financial statements of our operations outside the U.S. are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Adjustments to translate the assets and liabilities of these foreign operations in U.S. dollars are accumulated as a component of other comprehensive income/(loss) utilizing period-end exchange rates. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses calculated by utilizing weighted average exchange rates for the period are included in the statements of operations in “other expense, net.” Such foreign currency transaction gains and losses include inter-company loans denominated in non-U.S. dollar currencies.

Item 4.	CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Any control or procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Our management, with the participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer, and our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon that evaluation, our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2016, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
