Our strength was broad-based, across both our Proprietary Products and Contract Manufacturing segments. We achieved double-digit growth in our HVP Components business, driven by our continued execution in GLP-1 products, increased HVP conversion, including Annex 1, and an overall improving demand environment. As a result of the solid performance in the quarter, and the ongoing momentum in our business, we are again increasing our full-year guidance expectations."

• High-Value Product ("HVP") Components net sales of $390.0 million increased 16.3% and rose 13.3% 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 $99.1 million decreased by 15.7%, and were down 16.7% on an organic basis, driven by the previously disclosed one-time incentive fee of approximately $19 million earned in the third quarter of 2024.

Contract-Manufactured Products Segment
Net sales of $157.1 million increased by 8.0% and rose 4.9% on an organic basis.

These statements reflect management's current expectations regarding future events, expected tax rates, impacts of tariffs, and operating performance and speak only as of the date of this release. There is no certainty that actual results will be achieved in-line with current expectations. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties. The following are some of the factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or underlying our forward-looking statements: prevailing economic conditions and general uncertainties relating thereto that may be unknown and unforeseeable; customers' changing inventory requirements and manufacturing plans and customer decisions to move forward with our new products and product categories; disruptions or limitations in the Company's manufacturing capacity; average profitability, or mix, of the products we sell; dependence on third-party suppliers and partners; increased raw material, energy and labor costs; fluctuations in currency exchange; the ability to meet development milestones with key customers; and the consequences of other geopolitical events, including tariffs, natural disasters, acts of war, and global health crises.

Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures
This release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. For the purpose of aiding the comparison of our year-over-year results, we may refer to net sales and other financial results excluding the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Organic net sales exclude the impact from acquisitions and/or divestitures and translate the current-period reported sales of subsidiaries whose functional currency is other than the U.S. Dollar at the applicable foreign currency exchange rates in effect during the comparable prior-year period. 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. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") and should not be used as a substitute for the comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures. The non-U.S. GAAP financial measures are incorporated into our discussion and analysis as management uses them in evaluating our results of operations and believes that this information provides users a valuable insight into our overall performance and financial position. A reconciliation of these adjusted non-U.S. GAAP measures to the comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures is included in the accompanying tables.

We have opted not to forecast 2025 tax benefits from stock-based compensation in the fourth quarter, as they are out of the Company's control. Instead, we recognize the benefits as they occur. In the first nine months of 2025, tax benefits associated with stock-based compensation increased adjusted-diluted EPS by $0.05. Any future tax benefits associated with stock-based compensation that we receive in 2025 would provide a positive adjustment to our full-year EPS guidance. In full-year 2024, tax benefits associated with stock-based compensation increased adjusted-diluted EPS by $0.26. See "Full-year 2025 Financial Guidance" and "Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures" in today's press release for additional information regarding adjusted-diluted EPS.
