Recent news, including product launches and the SmartDose sale agreement, often saw mildly negative next-day moves even on seemingly positive announcements.

Recent Company History

Over the past few months, West has focused on investor communications, portfolio optimization and new product launches. In October 2025, it reported higher Q3 results with stronger Proprietary Products sales and robust cash generation. In January 2026, West agreed to sell SmartDose® 3.5mL manufacturing and supply rights to AbbVie for $112.5 million, with SmartDose contributing about 4% of fiscal 2025 revenue. The current Q4/FY25 results and 2026 guidance now quantify underlying growth and explicitly exclude $55 million of second-half 2025 SmartDose revenue in organic growth metrics.

Analysis

This announcement highlights steady top-line growth, expanding cash generation and a clearer post-SmartDose profile.

Free cash flow rose to $468.9M, and management repurchased 552,593 shares for $134.0M. 2026 guidance calls for $3.215–$3.275B in sales and $7.85–$8.20 adjusted EPS, excluding $55M of 2025 SmartDose 3.5mL revenue, giving investors clearer visibility into core growth drivers.

Key Terms

adjusted-diluted EPS, organic revenue growth, free cash flow, on-body delivery system

4 terms

adjusted-diluted EPS financial

"Fourth-quarter Adjusted-diluted EPS of $2.04 increased 12.1%."

Adjusted-diluted EPS is a per-share profit figure that starts with diluted earnings per share and then removes one-time items, unusual charges, or accounting adjustments so the number reflects ongoing business performance. Think of it like cleaning up a household budget to show the regular monthly spending rather than including a rare large repair; investors use it to compare profitability over time and across companies and to judge whether reported earnings reflect the business’s sustainable cash-earning power.

organic revenue growth financial

"Strong 4Q results, driven by double-digit organic revenue growth in HVP Components"

Organic revenue growth is the increase in a company's sales that comes from its existing products and services, without including any gains from acquisitions or selling off parts of the business. It reflects the company’s ability to attract more customers or encourage existing customers to buy more over time. For investors, it indicates the company's underlying strength and efficiency in expanding its core operations.

free cash flow financial

"Free cash flow (defined as operating cash flow less capital expenditures) was $468.9 million"

Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.

on-body delivery system technical

"SmartDose® 3.5mL On-Body Delivery System to AbbVie"

A wearable device that sticks to a patient’s skin and automatically delivers a medicine over a set time, often replacing repeated injections or daily pills. Investors care because these systems can make treatments easier to use, improve patient adherence, reduce healthcare costs and create product differentiation or recurring revenue streams, all of which affect a drug or device maker’s market potential and regulatory and reimbursement outlook.

"Our performance in the quarter was led by our High-Value Product Components business in our Proprietary Products Segment, enabling us to deliver double-digit adjusted earnings per share growth.

Proprietary Products Segment
Fourth-quarter net sales of $661.8 million grew by 7.8% and increased 3.6% on an organic basis.

• High-Value Product ("HVP") Components net sales of $389.8 million increased 20.3% and grew 15.1% on an organic basis driven by strength in Westar® and Envision® products. HVP Components accounted for 48% of total company net sales in the quarter.
• HVP Delivery Devices net sales of $110.4 million decreased by 16.9%, and were down 18.1% on an organic basis, driven by the previously disclosed non-recurring incentive fee of $25 million earned in the fourth quarter of 2024. HVP Delivery Devices accounted for 14% of total company net sales in the quarter.
• Standard Products net sales of $161.6 million increased by 3.0%, but declined 1.7% on an organic basis. Standard Products accounted for 20% of total company net sales this quarter.

Contract-Manufactured Products Segment
Fourth-quarter 2025 net sales increased by 6.2% to $143.2 million, while organic net sales grew 1.9%. Segment performance was driven by growth in self-injection devices for obesity and diabetes, partially offset by a continued decrease in sales of healthcare diagnostic devices.  Contract Manufacturing accounted for 18% of total company net sales in the quarter.

This release contains certain financial measures outside of generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"), including organic net sales and adjusted-diluted EPS. For the purpose of aiding the comparison of our year-over-year results, we may refer to net sales and other financial results excluding the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

We may also refer to financial results excluding the effects of unallocated items. The re-measured results excluding effects from currency translation and excluding the effects of unallocated items are not in conformity with U.S. GAAP and should not be used as a substitute for the comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures.

(1)	During the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded pre-tax charges of $1.4 million and $23.3 million, respectively, related to our two existing restructuring programs: (i) 0.9 million and $18.4 million in the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025, respectively, within other expense (income), related to severance, acceleration of depreciation and lease costs in connection with the Company's January 2025 restructuring plan and (ii) $0.5 million and $4.9 million in the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025, respectively, within selling, general and administrative expenses, for professional services relating to our 2024 plan to optimize the legal structure of the Company and its subsidiaries. In addition, we recorded income tax charges of $2.3 million and $4.9 million during the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025, respectively, related primarily to withholding tax and capital gains incurred in executing our plan to optimize our legal structure. During the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded expense to restructuring and other charges of $3.0 million and $2.1 million, respectively. The net expense represents the impact of two items, the first of which is an expense $3.0 million and $4.6 million during the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024, respectively, recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses in connection with a plan to optimize the legal structure of the Company and its subsidiaries. The expense consisted primarily of consulting fees, legal expenses, and other one-time costs directly attributable to this plan. This expense was partially offset by a $2.5 million benefit in the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 recorded within other expense (income) related to revised severance estimates in connection with the Company's 2022 restructuring plan.
(2)	During the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded charges of $8.4 million related to the Company's agreement to sell its SmartDose® 3.5mL On-Body Delivery System and associated facilities to AbbVie. The Company recorded $6.2 million of the charges within other expense (income), related to severance and lease impairment charges in connection with the sale agreement. The Company recorded the remaining $2.2 million within selling, general and administrative expenses, relating to professional services in connection with the sale agreement.
(3)	During the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded cost-method investment impairment charges of $4.5 million within other expense (income).
(4)	During the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded $0.0 million and $0.2 million, and $0.2 million and $0.8 million, respectively, of amortization expense within operating profit associated with an intangible asset acquired during the second quarter of 2020. During the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded $0.5 million and $1.8 million, and $0.5 million and $2.1 million, respectively, of amortization expense in association with an acquisition of increased ownership interest in Daikyo.
