Dear Shareholders,

Fiscal 2016 was a year of both opportunity and challenge for Catalent. We generated 
strong organic revenue growth at constant exchange rates versus the prior year 
across both Advanced Delivery Technologies and Development Solutions. We realized 
market-leading Development Solutions revenues, and launched a record number of 
new prescription and consumer health products for our customers, bringing important 
new treatments to patients around the world. Recent strategic investments contributed 
materially to 2016 growth, including biologics, consumer health products, and our 
fast-growing Asia-Pacific business. Muting the earnings impact of this strong demand, 
however, was a six-month operational suspension at our Beinheim, France facility, 
which returned to active operational status in late April following intensely focused 
efforts from Catalent associates around the globe. As we look ahead to 2017, we 
believe Catalent is well positioned—and more operationally prepared than ever—to 
benefit from the robust, organically growing market across both strategic platforms. 

2016 in review
Financial Performance 

The Company delivered strong organic revenue growth of 6% in 2016 at 
constant exchange rates,i with our consolidated revenues reaching $1,848.1 
million, despite the revenue loss due to our French facility suspension.

We delivered $401.2 million of Adjusted EBITDAii in 2016, down 4.8% against the 
prior year at constant exchange rates, driven primarily by a $32 million adverse 
impact of the French facility shutdown. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 21.7% at 
constant exchange rates in the current year, and fully diluted earnings per share 
were $0.89 in 2016, both reflecting the impact of the French facility suspension. 

Beinheim, France Facility Operational Suspension 

In November 2015, our Beinheim softgel facility, one of eleven softgel facilities in our 
global network of thirty-three facilities, received a notice from the ANSM, the French 
pharmaceutical regulatory authority, suspending manufacturing at the site. The suspension 
followed a series of incidents within the facility involving the malicious misplacement 
of capsules. The Catalent team, in accordance with our Quality Management System, 
conducted a risk assessment of these incidents, including re-assessment and re-inspection 
of batches produced during the period in which these incidents occurred, as did customers 

i  Comparisons “at constant exchange rates” exclude the effects of foreign currency fluctuations against the U.S. dollar during the year. For a 

reconciliation of constant currency results to our reported results, please see page 47 of the enclosed Annual Report on Form 10-K.
ii  For an explanation of how we determine Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, and how this financial measure reconciles to our 

reported results, please see page 60 of the enclosed Annual Report on Form 10-K.

security and access control measures, and reinforced and strengthened our operational 
and quality policies and procedures at the site and throughout Catalent. The ANSM 
reinstated our license on April 28th, and the site has restarted production activities. 

The Beinheim facility suspension reduced our 2016 revenues by $35 million, 
and Adjusted EBITDA by $32 million, both at constant exchange rates.

The learnings from this incident have already been transferred across all our sites and 
driven policy, procedural, and cultural changes. While we have substantially transformed 
and driven excellence into our operational, quality, and regulatory performance 
over the last decade, there is always more to do. We must—and will—continuously 
improve and do everything in our power to prevent a repeat of this incident.

Strategic Growth Drivers in 2016

In 2016, we realized substantial top-line growth driven by recent and ongoing 
investments in facilities and people, as well as strategies begun in past years. 

Our recent Catalent Biologics investments are delivering favorable results, driving the 
fastest growing business area within the Company. We’ve built a uniquely different 
biologics portfolio, including expression, formulation/delivery, manufacturing, and 
analysis services, with strong new business wins and a rapidly growing sales funnel.

Our strategy to add greater focus to Consumer Health played an important part 
in delivering 2016’s strong organic revenue growth. We successfully brought into 
our softgel network new over-the-counter and nutritional supplement volumes 
in Europe, Latin America and Asia-Pacific, filling available capacity and driving 
maximum leverage of our industry leading global softgel infrastructure. 

In recent years, we have invested in and devoted substantial organizational focus to expand 
Catalent’s presence in the important Asia-Pacific region. Our two recently added China 
sites are contributing to organic growth. In 2016, we further expanded our clinical supply 
capacity, adding to our Singapore site and establishing new clinical supply capacity in Japan. 

Reinvesting for the Future

In 2016, Catalent continued to invest a significant portion of its free cash flow in 
growth-generating assets, including $139.6 million in property, plant and equipment. 
Major projects include construction of commercial-scale metered dose inhalation 
capacity in North Carolina, and build-out of customer-driven capacity in our New 
Jersey and Illinois facilities, driven by current product pipeline programs.

 
looking ahead
Looking to 2017 and beyond, Catalent is well-positioned in an attractive, 
robustly growing industry, where we have leadership, scale, and diversification 
across products, geographies, and markets. Our strong business development 
performance; our proven “follow the molecule” strategyiii; and our recent and 
ongoing investments in biologics, inhalation, and consumer health, will further 
sustain favorable organic revenue and earnings growth in the future.

We have consistently viewed our ability to reliably supply our customers as our #1 
growth program, and we remain rigorously focused on improving our excellence. 

Because an important foundation of Catalent’s culture is continuous improvement, 
we are always looking for ways to enhance our processes and systems. As one aspect 
of this effort, we have engaged in a company-wide effort to focus our team on the 
ultimate beneficiary of our excellence—the patient—as a critical guidepost to the 
interests we serve. One in every twenty doses of prescription and consumer health 
products taken by people globally each year comes from Catalent. From operators to 
lab technicians, from plant managers to senior leadership, decisions we make each day 
with respect to those products can affect the health and well-being of patients and 
consumers. We will unfailingly seek to put patients’ interests first in all that we do.

We continue to believe Catalent is uniquely positioned to consolidate the highly fragmented 
advanced delivery technologies and development solutions markets, and that our customers 
continue to seek broader outsourcing relationships with fewer, larger partners. In 2016, 
we continued to actively identify and review potential acquisition targets, assessing them 
using our rigorous, value-oriented, and disciplined model. We believe that Catalent is 
first and foremost an organic growth company, as we demonstrated in 2016. We will, 
however, continue to look for acquisitions that make strategic and financial sense.

2016 was a year of substantial opportunity and critical challenges for Catalent—
and our people consistently stepped up and delivered on our values. This 
is a team our patients, customers, and investors can be proud of. 

On behalf of Catalent’s 9,200 employees around the world and our Board 
of Directors, I thank you for your investment in Catalent, Inc.

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements 

PART I 

In addition to historical information, this Annual Report on Form 10-K of Catalent, Inc. (“Catalent” or the “Company”) 

contains “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 
Annual Report on Form 10-K 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,” “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 this 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.  

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

If we do not enhance our existing or introduce new technology or service offerings in a timely manner, our 
offerings may become obsolete 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. 

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 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. 

We are dependent on key personnel.  

Risks generally associated with information and communications systems could adversely affect our results 
of operations.  

We have in the past engaged and may in the future engage 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 and 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, such as the payment of our interest expense.  

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, expose us to interest-rate risk to the 
extent of our variable rate debt and prevent us from meeting our obligations under our indebtedness.  

Affiliates of The Blackstone Group L.P. (“Blackstone”) have substantial influence over us and their interests 
may conflict with ours or yours in the future. 

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.

 ITEM 1. 

BUSINESS 

Overview 

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 address 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 (the "FDA") in the last 
decade. Our advanced delivery technology platforms, including those in our Softgel Technologies and Drug Delivery Solutions 
segments, our proven formulation, manufacturing and regulatory expertise, and our broad and deep intellectual property enable 
our customers 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 1 in every 20 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.  

We continue to make investments to expand our sales and marketing activities, leading to growth in the number of active 

development programs for our customers in both of our two main strategic areas. This has further enhanced our extensive, 
long-duration relationships and long-term contracts with a broad and diverse range of industry-leading customers. In the fiscal 
year ended June 30, 2016, we did business with 87 of the top 100 branded drug marketers, 22 of the top 25 generics marketers, 
24 of the top 25 biologics marketers, and 21 of the top 25 consumer health marketers globally. Selected key customers include 
Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, GlaxoSmithKline, Novartis, Roche and Teva. We have many long-standing relationships with our 
customers, particularly in advanced delivery technologies, where we tend to follow a prescription molecule through all phases 
of its lifecycle, from the development and launch of the original brand prescription, to generics or over-the-counter switch. A 
prescription pharmaceutical product relationship with an innovator will often last many years, in several cases nearly two 
decades or more, extending from pre-clinical development through the end of the product’s life cycle. We serve customers who 
require innovative product development, superior quality, advanced manufacturing and skilled technical services to support 
their development and marketed product needs. Our broad and diverse range of technologies closely integrates with our 
customers’ molecules to yield final dose forms, and this generally results in the inclusion of Catalent in our customers’ 
prescription product regulatory filings. Both of these factors translate to long-duration supply relationships at an individual 
product level.  

We believe our customers value us because our depth of development solutions and advanced delivery technologies, 
intellectual property, consistent and reliable supply, geographic reach, and substantial expertise enable us to create a broad 
range of business and product solutions that can be customized to fit their individual needs. Today we employ approximately 
1,400 scientists and technicians and hold approximately 1,100 patents and patent applications in advanced delivery, drug and 
biologics formulation and manufacturing. The aim of our offerings is to allow our customers to bring more products to market 
faster, and develop and market differentiated new products that improve patient outcomes. We believe our leading market 
position, significant global scale, and diversity of customers, offerings, regulatory categories, products, and geographies reduce 
our exposure to potential strategic and product shifts within the industry.  

We provide a number of proprietary, differentiated technologies, products and service offerings to our customers across 
our advanced delivery technologies and development solutions platforms. The core technologies within our advanced delivery 
technologies platform include softgel capsules, our Zydis oral dissolving tablets, blow-fill-seal unit dose liquids and a range of 
other oral, injectable and respiratory technologies. The technologies and service offerings within our development solutions 
platform span the drug development process, ranging from our OptiForm Solutions Suite for bioavailability enhancement of 
early-stage molecules, and GPEx and SMARTag platforms for development of biologics and antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), 
to formulation, analytical services, early stage clinical development, and clinical trials supply, including our unique FastChain 

6 

 
demand-led clinical supply solution. Our offerings serve a critical need in the development and manufacturing of difficult-to-
formulate products across a number of product types. 

We have advanced our technologies and grown our service offerings over more than 80 years through internal 
development, strategic alliances, in-licensing and acquisitions. We initially introduced our softgel capsule technology in the 
1930s and have continued to expand our range of new, technologically enhanced offerings. Since fiscal 2013, we have launched 
OptiShell, OptiMelt, Zydis Nano and Zydis Bio and OptiPact. In fiscal 2016, we launched OptiForm Solutions Suite and our 
FastChain demand-led clinical supply solution. Also in 2016, our customers received regulatory approval for first-to-market 
products using the OptiShell and ADVASEPT technologies.  To extend the reach of our technologies and services, we have also 
formed several active partnerships, including partnerships with BASF (Germany), CEVEC (Germany), and CTC Bio (South 
Korea), and have active relationships with research universities around the world. We have also augmented our portfolio 
through nine acquisitions since fiscal 2012, including significantly expanding our scale through the acquisition of the Aptuit 
CTS business in February 2012, adding an ADC business through the completion of our acquisition of the Redwood Bioscience 
business in October 2014, and extending our particle engineering capabilities via our November 2014 acquisition of Micron 
Technologies, a leader in the category. We believe our own internal innovation, supplemented by current and future external 
partnerships and acquisitions, will continue to strengthen and extend our leadership positions in the delivery and development 
of drugs, biologics and consumer and animal health products.  

History 

Catalent was formed in April 2007, when affiliates of Blackstone acquired the core of the Pharmaceutical Technologies 

and Services (“PTS”) segment of Cardinal Health, Inc. (“Cardinal”). Cardinal had created PTS through a series of acquisitions 
beginning with R.P. Scherer Corporation in 1998, with the intent of creating the world’s leading outsourcing provider of 
specialized, market-leading solutions to the global pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry.  We are a holding company that 
indirectly owns Catalent Pharma Solutions, Inc. (the "Operating Company"), which owns, directly or indirectly, all of our 
operating subsidiaries.  Since our 2007 acquisition, we have regularly reviewed our portfolio of offerings and operations in the 
context of our strategic growth plan, and, as a result, we have sold five businesses and consolidated operations at five facilities, 
integrating them into the remaining facility network. We have also actively acquired new businesses and facilities, completing 
nine transactions since fiscal 2012. In July 2014, we completed the initial public offering of our common stock (the "IPO"), 
which is now listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the symbol “CTLT.”  

Our Competitive Strengths 

Leading Provider of Advanced Delivery Technologies and Development Solutions 

We are the leading global provider of advanced delivery technologies and development solutions for drugs, biologics and 
consumer and animal health products. In the last decade, we have earned revenue with respect to nearly half of the drugs based 
on new molecular entities (“NMEs”) approved by the FDA, and over the past three years with respect to nearly 80% of the top 
200 largest-selling compounds globally. With approximately 1,400 scientists and technicians worldwide and approximately 
1,100 patents and patent applications, our expertise is in providing differentiated technologies and solutions that help our 
customers bring more products and better treatments to market faster. For example, in the high-value area of NCEs, 
approximately 90% of NCE softgel approvals by the FDA over the last 25 years have been developed and supplied by us.  

Diversified Operating Platform 

We are diversified by virtue of our geographic scope, our large customer base, the extensive range of products we 

produce, our broad service offerings, and our ability to provide solutions at nearly every stage of a product’s lifecycle. We 
produce nearly 7,000 distinct items across multiple categories, including brand and generic prescription drugs and biologics, 
over-the-counter, consumer health and veterinary products, medical devices and diagnostics. In fiscal 2016, our top 20 products 
represented approximately 25% of total revenue, with no single customer accounting for greater than 10% of revenue and with 
no individual product greater than 3%. We serve more than 1,000 customers in approximately 80 countries, with a majority of 

7 

 
 
 
our fiscal 2016 revenues coming from outside the United States. This diversity, combined with long product lifecycles and 
close customer relationships, has contributed to the stability of our business. It has also allowed us to reduce our exposure to 
potential strategic, customer and product shifts as well as to payer-driven pricing pressures experienced by our branded drug 
and biologic customers.  

Longstanding, Extensive Relationships with Blue Chip Customers 

We have longstanding, extensive relationships with leading pharmaceutical and biotechnology customers. In fiscal 2016, 
we did business with 87 of the top 100 branded drug marketers, 22 of the top 25 generics marketers, 24 of the top 25 biologics 
marketers, and 21 of the top 25 consumer health marketers globally, as well as with more than 1,000 other customers, including 
emerging and specialty companies, which are often more reliant on outside partners as a result of their more virtual business 
models. Regardless of size, our customers seek innovative product development, superior quality, advanced manufacturing and 
skilled technical services to support their development and marketed product needs. 

We believe our customers value us because our depth of development solutions and advanced delivery technologies, 
consistent and reliable supply, geographic reach and substantial expertise enable us to create a broad range of tailored solutions, 
many of which are unavailable from other individual providers.  

Deep, Broad and Growing Technology Foundation 

Our breadth of proprietary and patented technologies and long track record of innovation substantially differentiate us 
from other industry participants. Our leading softgel platforms, including Liqui-Gels, OptiShell and Vegicaps capsules, and our 
modified release technologies, including the Zydis family, OptiPact and OptiMelt technologies, provide formulation expertise 
to solve complex delivery challenges for our customers. We offer advanced technologies for delivery of small molecules and 
biologics via respiratory, ophthalmic and injectable routes, including the blow-fill-seal unit dose technology, ADVASEPT glass-
free vials, and prefilled syringes. We also provide advanced biologics formulation options, including Gene Product Expression 
(“GPEx”) cell-line and SMARTag antibody-drug conjugate technologies. We have a market leadership position within 
respiratory delivery, including metered dose and dry powder inhalers, and intra-nasal forms. We have reinforced our leadership 
position in advanced delivery technologies over the last four years, as we have launched more than a dozen new technology 
platforms and applications, including in fiscal 2016 the launch of our Optiform Solutions Suite, a dose form-agnostic 
bioavailability enhancement for early-stage molecules. Our culture of creativity and innovation is grounded in our advanced 
delivery technologies, our scientists and engineers, and our patents and proprietary manufacturing processes throughout our 
global network. Our global product development team drives a focused application of resources to our highest priority 
opportunities for both new customer product introductions and platform technology development. As of June 30, 2016, we had 
approximately 700 product development programs in active development across our businesses.  

Long-Duration Relationships Provide Sustainability 

Our broad and diverse range of technologies closely integrates with our customers’ molecules to yield final dose forms, 

and this generally results in the inclusion of Catalent in our customers’ prescription product regulatory filings. Both of these 
factors translate to long-duration supply relationships at an individual product level, to which we apply our expertise in 
contracting to produce long-duration commercial supply agreements. These agreements typically have initial terms of three to 
ten years with regular renewals of one to three years (see “Contractual Arrangements” for more detail). Nearly two-thirds of 
our fiscal 2016 advanced delivery technology platform revenues (comprised of our Softgel Technologies and Drug Delivery 
Solutions reporting segments) were covered by such long-term contractual arrangements. We believe this base provides us with 
a sustainable competitive advantage.  

Significant Recent Growth Investments 

We have made significant investments over time to establish a global manufacturing network, and today employ 5.1 
million square feet of manufacturing and laboratory space across five continents. We have invested approximately $630 million 
in the last five fiscal years in gross capital expenditures. Growth-related investments in facilities, capacity and capabilities 

8 

 
across our businesses have positioned us for future growth in areas aligned with anticipated future demand. Through our focus 
on operational, quality and regulatory excellence, we drive ongoing and continuous improvements in safety, productivity and 
reliable supply to customer expectations, which we believe further differentiate us. Our manufacturing network and capabilities 
allow us the flexibility to reliably supply the changing needs of our customers while consistently meeting their quality, delivery 
and regulatory compliance expectations.  

High Standards of Regulatory Compliance and Operational and Quality Excellence 

We operate our plants in accordance with current good manufacturing practices (“cGMP”), following our own high 

standards that are consistent with those of many of our large global pharmaceutical and biotechnology customers. We have 
more than 1,100 employees around the globe focused on quality and regulatory compliance. More than half of our facilities are 
registered with the FDA, with the remaining facilities registered with other applicable regulatory agencies, such as the 
European Medicines Agency (the “EMA”). In some cases, facilities are registered with multiple regulatory agencies. In fiscal 
2016, we were subject to 49 regulatory audits and, over the last five fiscal years, we successfully completed more than 250 
regulatory audits. We also undergo more than 400 customer and internal audits annually. We believe our quality and regulatory 
track record to be a competitive differentiator for Catalent.  

Strong and Experienced Management Team 

Our executive leadership team collectively has more than 200 years of combined and diverse experience within the 
pharmaceutical and healthcare industries. With an average of more than 20 years of functional experience, this team possesses 
deep knowledge and a wide network of industry relationships. 

Our Strategy 

We are pursuing the following key growth initiatives: 

“Follow the Molecule” by Providing Solutions to our Customers across all Phases of the Product Lifecycle 

We intend to use our advanced delivery technologies and development solutions across the entire lifecycle of our 
customers’ products to drive future growth. Our development solutions span the drug development process, starting with our 
platforms for development of small molecules, biologics and antibody-drug conjugates, to formulation and analytical services, 
through early stage clinical development and manufacturing of clinical trials supply, to regulatory consulting. Once a molecule 
is ready for late-stage trials and subsequent commercialization, we provide our customers with a range of advanced delivery 
technologies and manufacturing expertise that allow them to deliver their molecules to the end-users in appropriate dosage 
forms. The relationship between a molecule and our advanced delivery technologies typically starts with developing and 
manufacturing the innovator product, then extends throughout the molecule’s commercial life, including through potential 
generic launches or over-the-counter conversion. For prescription products, we are typically the sole and/or exclusive provider, 
and are reflected in customers’ new drug applications. 

Our breadth of solutions gives us multiple entry points into the lifecycle of our customers’ molecules. Our initial 

commercial opportunity arises during the discovery and development of a molecule, when our development and particle 
engineering solutions can be applied. Once a product reaches late-stage development, we can provide our customers with drug 
delivery solutions for the commercialization of their products. We have two additional entry points during the commercial 
phase: upon loss-of-exclusivity and upon conversion to over-the-counter status. At these points, we partner with the makers and 
marketers of both generic and over-the-counter products to provide them with advanced delivery technologies that can be 
applied to their products through these stages of the product lifecycle. Our revenues from our advanced delivery technologies 
are primarily driven by volumes and, as a result, the loss of exclusivity may not have a significant negative impact if we 
continue to work with both branded and generic partners. 

An example of this can be found in a leading over-the-counter respiratory brand, which today uses both our Zydis fast 
dissolve and our Liqui-Gels softgel technologies. We originally began development of the prescription format of this product 
for our multinational pharmaceutical company partner in 1992 to address specific patient sub-segment needs. After four years 

9 

 
 
of development, we then commercially supplied the prescription Zydis product for six years, and we have continued to provide 
the Zydis form since the switch to over-the-counter status in the United States and other markets in the early 2000s. More 
recently, we proactively brought a softgel product concept for the brand to the customer, which the customer elected to develop 
and launch as well. By following this molecule, we have built a strong, 24-year long relationship across multiple formats and 
markets. 

Continue to Grow Through New Product Launches and Projects 

We intend to grow by supplementing our existing diverse base of commercialized advanced delivery technology products 

with new development programs. As of June 30, 2016, our product development teams were working on approximately 700 
new customer programs. Our base of active development programs has expanded in recent years from growing market demand, 
as well as from our investments since 2010 to expand our global sales and marketing function; once developed and approved in 
the future, we expect these programs to add to long-duration commercial revenues under long-term contracts and grow our 
existing product base.  In the year ended June 30, 2016, we introduced 184 new products, which is up 12% versus new product 
introductions in the year ended June 30, 2015. We also expect that our expanded offerings and capacity, such as our OptiForm 
Solutions Suite bioavailability enhancement offering, expanded bioanalytical testing and commercial-scale metered dose 
inhaler production, ongoing service offering and geographic network expansion in our clinical supply services business, our 
expanded presence in Brazil, and our continued growth in China, will further expand our active advanced delivery technologies 
development programs, and position us for future growth. Our development solutions business is driven by thousands of 
projects annually, ranging from individual short-duration analytical projects to multi-year clinical supply programs. 

Catalent continues to be the global leader in providing chemistry, manufacturing and controls-based product 

development services to the global pharmaceutical, biotechnology and consumer health industry.  In the year ended June 30, 
2016, we recognized approximately $330 million of revenue related to the development of products on behalf of customers, 
included in our Softgel Technologies and Drug Delivery Solutions reporting segments, up 19% from the prior year.  In addition, 
substantially all of the revenues associated with the Clinical Supply Services segment relate to our support of customer 
products in development. 

Accelerate Growth with Existing Customers through Increased Penetration and Broadening of Services 

While we have a broad presence across the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, we believe there are significant 

opportunities for additional revenue growth in our existing customer base, by providing advanced delivery solutions for new 
pipeline or commercial molecules, and by expanding the range and depth of our development solutions used by those 
customers. Within our top 50 customers, nearly 75% use less than half of our individual offerings. In order to ensure we 
provide the most value to our customers, we have increased our field sales and marketing force by approximately 20% since 
fiscal 2009. We have continued to follow a targeted account strategy, designating certain accounts as global accounts, based on 
current materiality, partnering approach and growth potential. We also designate other accounts as growth accounts, based 
primarily on partnering approach and potential to become global accounts in the future. In both cases, we assign incremental 
business development product development resources to identify and pursue new opportunities to partner. Global accounts 
represented nearly 29% of our revenues in fiscal 2016, while growth accounts represented approximately 8% of revenues in 
that same period.  

Enter Into and Expand Into Attractive Technologies and Geographies 

We have made a number of internal investments in new geographies and markets, including the construction and ongoing 

expansion of a state-of-the-art biomanufacturing facility in Wisconsin to serve the growing global biologics development 
market, a recently completed significant expansion of oral solid controlled release production capacity in Kentucky, the scaling-
up of commercial manufacturing capacity for metered-dose inhalers and continuing development and scale-up of the 
SMARTag™ antibody-drug conjugate technology to address the growing need for improved targeted delivery of therapeutic 
compounds directly to tumor sites. 

10 

 
 
In addition, we intend to increase our presence in emerging/high-growth geographies and other markets where we are 

currently only narrowly represented, including China, Brazil, Japan, and the animal health market. 

Capitalize on Our Substantial Technology Platform 

We have a broad and diverse technology platform that is supported by approximately 1,100 patents and patent 

applications in approximately 100 families across advanced delivery technologies, drug and biologics formulation and 
manufacturing. This platform is supported by substantial know-how and trade secrets that provide us with additional 
competitive advantages. For example, we have significant softgel fill and formulation databases and substantial softgel 
regulatory approval expertise, and as a result, approximately 90% of NCE softgel approvals by the FDA over the last 25 years 
have been developed and supplied by us.  

In addition to resolving product challenges for our customers’ molecules, for more than two decades we have applied our 
technology platforms and development expertise to proactively develop proof-of-concept products, whether improved versions 
of existing drugs, new generic formulations or innovative consumer health products. In the consumer health area, we file 
product dossiers with regulators in relevant jurisdictions for self-created products, which help contribute sustainable growth to 
our consumer health business. We expect to continue to seek proactive development and other non-traditional relationships to 
increase demand for and value realized from our technology platforms. These activities have provided us with opportunities to 
capture an increased share of end-market value through out-licensing, profit-sharing and other arrangements. 

Leverage Existing Infrastructure and Operational Discipline to Drive Profitable Growth 

Through our existing infrastructure, including our global network of operating locations and programs, we promote 
operational discipline and drive margin expansion. With our Lean Manufacturing and Lean Six Sigma programs, a global 
procurement function and conversion cost productivity metrics in place, we have created a culture of functional excellence and 
cost accountability. We intend to continue to apply this discipline to further leverage our operational network for profitable 
growth. Since fiscal 2009, we have expanded gross margin by over 400 basis points and Adjusted EBITDA margin by over 200 
basis points.  

Pursue Strategic Acquisitions and Licensing to Build upon our Existing Platform 

We operate in highly fragmented markets in both our advanced delivery technologies and development solutions 
businesses. Within those markets, the five top players represent nearly 35% and 10% of the total market share, respectively, by 
revenue. Our broad platform, global infrastructure and diversified customer base provide us with a strong foundation from 
which to consolidate within these markets and to generate operating leverage through such acquisitions. Since fiscal 2012, we 
have executed nine transactions, investing more than $700 million, and have demonstrated an ability to efficiently and 
effectively integrate these acquisitions.  

While we are rigorously focused on driving Catalent's organic growth, we intend to continue to opportunistically source 

and execute bolt-on strategic acquisitions within our existing business areas, as well as to undertake transactions that provide us 
with expansion opportunities within new geographic markets or adjacent market segments. We have a dedicated corporate 
development team in place to identify these opportunities and have a rigorous and financially disciplined process for 
evaluating, executing and integrating such acquisitions. 

11 

 
 
Our Reportable Segments 

In fiscal 2016, the Company engaged in a business reorganization which was finalized in the fourth quarter to better align 
its internal business unit structure with its "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 ASC 280 
Segment Reporting as discussed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-
K (the "Consolidated Financial Statements"). Our offerings and services are summarized below by reporting segment.

Softgel Technologies 

Through our Softgel Technologies segment, we provide formulation, development and manufacturing services for soft 

capsules, or “softgels,” which we first commercialized in the 1930s and have continually enhanced. We are the market leader in 
overall softgel manufacturing, and hold the leading market position in the prescription arena. Our principal softgel technologies 
include traditional softgel capsules, in which the shell is made of animal-derived gelatin, and Vegicaps and OptiShell capsules, 
in which the shell is made from vegetable-derived materials.  Softgel capsules are used in a broad range of customer products, 
including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, dietary supplements and unit-dose cosmetics. Softgel capsules 
encapsulate liquid, paste or oil-based active compounds in solution or suspension within an outer shell, filling and sealing the 
capsule simultaneously. We typically perform all encapsulation for a product within one of our softgel facilities, with active 
ingredients provided by customers or sourced directly by us. Softgels have historically been used to solve formulation 
challenges or technical issues for a specific drug, to help improve the clinical performance of compounds, to provide important 

12 

 
 
 
market differentiation, particularly for over-the-counter compounds, and to provide safe handling of hormonal, potent and 
cytotoxic drugs. We also participate in the softgel vitamin, mineral and supplement business in selected regions around the 
world. With the 2001 introduction of our vegetable-derived softgel shell, Vegicaps capsules, consumer health manufacturers 
have been able to extend the softgel dose form to a broader range of active ingredients and serve patient/consumer populations 
that were previously inaccessible due to religious, dietary or cultural preferences. In recent years, we have extended this 
platform to pharmaceutical products via our OptiShell offering. Our Vegicaps and OptiShell capsules are protected by patents 
in most major global markets. Physician and patient studies we have conducted have demonstrated a preference for softgels 
versus traditional tablet and hard capsule dose forms in terms of ease of swallowing, real or perceived speed of delivery, ability 
to remove or eliminate unpleasant odor or taste and, for physicians, perceived improved patient adherence with dosing 
regimens.  Representative customers of Softgel Technologies include Pfizer, Novartis, Bayer, GlaxoSmithKline, Teva, Johnson 
& Johnson and Allergan. 

Our Softgel Technologies segment represents 41%, 42%, and 46% of the segments' aggregate revenue before inter-

segment eliminations for fiscal 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  

Drug Delivery Solutions 

Our Drug Delivery Solutions segment provides various complex advanced formulation delivery technologies, and related 

integrated solutions including:  development and manufacturing of a broad range of oral dose forms including fast-dissolve 
tablets and both proprietary and conventional controlled release products, and delivery of pharmaceuticals, biologics and 
biosimilars administered via injection, inhalation and ophthalmic routes, using both traditional and advanced technologies.  
Representative customers of DDS include Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline, Roche, Teva, Eli Lilly, Johnson & Johnson and Allergan. 

We provide comprehensive pre-formulation, development, and both clinical and commercial scale for most traditional and 

advanced oral solid dose formats, including uncoated and coated tablets, powder/pellet/bead-filled two piece hard capsules, 
lozenges, powders and other forms for immediate and modified release prescription, consumer and animal health products.  We 
have substantial experience developing and scaling up products requiring accelerated development timelines, requiring 
specialized handling, complex technology transfers, or specialized manufacturing processes. 

 We launched our orally dissolving tablet business in 1986 with the introduction of Zydis tablets, a unique oral dosage 

form that is freeze-dried in its package, can be swallowed without water, and typically dissolves in the mouth in less than three 
seconds. Most often used for indications, drugs and patient groups that can benefit from rapid oral disintegration, the Zydis 
technology is utilized in a wide range of products and indications, including treatments for a variety of central nervous system-
related conditions such as migraines, Parkinson’s Disease, schizophrenia, and pain relief and consumer healthcare products 
targeting allergy relief. Zydis tablets continue to be used in new ways by our customers as we extend the application of the 
technology to new categories, such as for immunotherapies, vaccines and biologics delivery. 

Our range of injectable manufacturing offerings includes filling drugs or biologics into pre-filled syringes and glass-free 

ADVASEPT vials, with flexibility to accommodate other formats within our existing network, increasingly focused on complex 
pharmaceuticals and biologics. With our range of technologies we are able to meet a wide range of specifications, timelines and 
budgets. The complexity of the manufacturing process, the importance of experience and know-how, regulatory compliance, 
and high start-up capital requirements create significant barriers to entry and, as a result, limit the number of competitors in the 
market. For example, blow-fill-seal is an advanced aseptic processing technology, which uses a continuous process to form, fill 
with drug, and seal a plastic container in a sterile environment. Blow-fill-seal units are currently used for a variety of 
pharmaceuticals in liquid form, such as respiratory, ophthalmic and otic products. We are a leader in the outsourced blow-fill-
seal market, and operate one of the largest capacity commercial manufacturing blow-fill-seal facilities in the world. Our sterile 
blow-fill-seal manufacturing has significant capacity and flexibility of manufacturing configurations. This business provides 
flexible and scalable solutions for unit-dose delivery of complex formulations such as suspensions and emulsions.  Further, the 
business provides engineering and manufacturing solutions related to complex containers. Our regulatory expertise can lead to 
decreased time to commercialization, and our dedicated development production lines support feasibility, stability and clinical 

13 

 
 
runs. We plan to continue to expand our product line in existing and new markets, and in higher margin specialty products with 
additional respiratory, ophthalmic, injectable and nasal applications. 

Our fast-growing biologics offerings include our formulation development and cell-line manufacturing based on our 

advanced and patented GPEx technology, which is used to develop stable, high-yielding mammalian cell lines for both 
innovator and biosimilar biologic compounds. Our GPEx technology can provide rapid cell-line development, high biologics 
production yields, flexibility and versatility. We believe our development-stage SMARTag next-generation antibody-drug 
conjugate technology will provide more precision targeting for delivery of drugs to tumors or other locations, with improved 
safety versus existing technologies. Our biologics facility in Madison, Wisconsin has the capability and capacity to produce 
clinical-scale biologic supplies; combined with offerings from our other businesses and external partners, we provide the 
broadest range of technologies and services supporting the development and launch of new biologic entities, biosimilars or 
biobetters to bring a product from gene to market commercialization, faster. 

We also offer analytical chemical and cell-based testing and scientific services, stability testing, respiratory products 

formulation and manufacturing, micronization and particle engineering services, regulatory consulting, and bioanalytical 
testing for biologic products. Our respiratory product capabilities include development and manufacturing services for inhaled 
products for delivery via metered dose inhalers, dry powder inhalers and intra-nasal sprays. We also provide formulation 
development and clinical and commercial manufacturing for conventional and specialty oral dose forms. We provide global 
regulatory and clinical support services for our customers’ regulatory and clinical strategies during all stages of development. 
Demand for our offerings is driven by the need for scientific expertise and depth and breadth of services offered, as well as by 
the reliable supply thereof, including quality, execution and performance. 

Our Drug Delivery Solutions segment represents 43%, 43% and 38% of the segments' aggregate revenue before inter-

segment eliminations for fiscal 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. 

Clinical Supply Services 

Our Clinical Supply Services segment provides manufacturing, packaging, storage and inventory management for drugs 
and biologics in clinical trials. We offer customers flexible solutions for clinical supplies production, and provide distribution 
and inventory management support for both simple and complex clinical trials. This includes dose form manufacturing or over-
encapsulation where needed; supplying placebos, comparator drug procurement and clinical packages and kits for physicians 
and patients; inventory management; investigator kit ordering and fulfillment; and return supply reconciliation and reporting. 
We support trials in all regions of the world through our facilities and distribution network. In fiscal 2016, we commenced an 
expansion of our Singapore facility by building new flexible cGMP space and we introduced clinical supply services at our 
200,000 square foot facility in Japan, expanding our Asia Pacific capabilities.  Additionally, in fiscal 2013, we established our 
first clinical supply services facility in China as a joint venture and assumed full ownership in fiscal 2015. We are the leading 
provider of integrated development solutions and one of the leading providers of clinical trial supplies and respiratory products.  
Representative customers of Clinical Supply Services include Astellas, GlaxoSmithKline, Eli Lilly, Merck, Pfizer and Shire. 

Our Clinical Supply Services segment represents 16%, 15% and 16% of the segments' aggregate revenue before inter-

segment eliminations for fiscal 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  

Development and Product Supply Chain Solutions 

In addition to our proprietary offerings, we are also differentiated in the market by our ability to bring together our 
development solutions and advanced delivery technologies to offer innovative development and product supply solutions which 
can be combined or tailored in many ways to enable our customers to take their drugs, biologics and consumer and animal 
health products from laboratory to market. Once a product is on the market, we can provide comprehensive integrated product 
supply, from the sourcing of the bulk active ingredient to comprehensive manufacturing and packaging to the testing required 
for release to distribution. Customer solutions we develop are flexible, scalable and creative, so that they meet the unique needs 
of both large and emerging companies, and for products of all sizes. We believe that our development and product supply 
solutions will continue to contribute to our future growth. 

14 

 
 
Sales and Marketing 

Our target customers include large pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, mid-size, emerging and specialty 

pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, and consumer health companies, along with companies in other selected 
healthcare market segments such as animal health and medical devices and companies in adjacent industries, such as cosmetics. 
We have longstanding, extensive relationships with leading pharmaceutical and biotechnology customers. In fiscal 2016, we 
did business with 87 of the top 100 branded drug marketers, 22 of the top 25 generics marketers, 24 of the top 25 biologics 
marketers, and 21 of the top 25 consumer health marketers globally, as well as with more than 1,000 other customers. Faced 
with access, pricing and reimbursement pressures as well as other market challenges, large pharmaceutical and biotechnology 
companies have increasingly sought partners to enhance the clinical competitiveness of their drugs and biologics and improve 
the productivity of their research and development activities, while reducing their fixed cost base. Many mid-size, emerging 
and specialty pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, while facing the same pricing and market pressures, have chosen 
not to build a full infrastructure, but rather to partner with other companies through licensing agreements or outsourcing to 
access the critical skills, technologies and services required to bring their products to market. Consumer health companies 
require rapidly developed, innovative dose forms and formulations to keep up in the fast-paced over-the-counter medication 
and vitamins markets. These market segments are all critically important to our growth, but require distinct solutions, 
marketing and sales approaches, and market strategy.  

We follow a hybrid demand generation organization model, with global and growth account teams offering the full 
breadth of Catalent’s solutions to selected accounts, and technical specialist teams providing the in-depth technical knowledge 
and practical experience essential for each individual offering. All business development and field sales representatives 
ultimately report to a single sales head, and significant ongoing investments are made to enhance their skills and capabilities. 
Our sales organization currently consists of more than 150 full-time, experienced sales professionals, supported by inside sales 
and sales operations. We also have built a dedicated strategic marketing team, providing strategic market and product planning 
and management for our offerings. As part of our marketing efforts, we participate in major trade shows relevant to the 
offerings globally and ensure adequate visibility to our offerings and solutions through a comprehensive print and on-line 
advertising and publicity program. We believe that Catalent is a strong brand with high overall awareness in our established 
markets and target customers, and that our brand identity has become a competitive advantage for us.  

Global Accounts 

We manage selected accounts globally due to their substantial current business and growth potential by establishing 

strategic plans, goals and targets. We recorded approximately 29% of our total revenue in fiscal 2016 from these global 
accounts. Each global account is assigned a dedicated business development professional with substantial industry experience. 
These account leaders, along with the leadership of the sales and marketing function and other members of the executive 
leadership team, are responsible for managing and extending the overall account relationship. Growing sales, profitability, and 
increasing account penetration are key goals and are directly linked to compensation. Account leaders also work closely with 
the rest of the sales organization to ensure alignment around critical priorities for the accounts.  

Emerging, Specialty and Virtual Accounts 

Emerging, specialty and virtual pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies are expected to be critical drivers of 
industry growth globally. Historically, many of these companies have chosen not to build a full infrastructure, but rather partner 
with other companies to produce their products. We expect them to continue to do so in the future, providing a critical source 
for future integrated solutions demand. We expect to continue to increase our penetration of geographic clusters of emerging 
companies in North America, Europe, South America and Asia. We regularly use active pipeline and product screening and 
customer targeting to identify the optimal candidates for partnering based on product profiles, funding status, and relationships, 
to ensure that our technical sales specialists and field sales representatives develop custom solutions designed to address the 
specific needs of customers in the market. 

15 

 
 
Contractual Arrangements 

We generally enter into a broad range of contractual arrangements with our customers, including agreements with respect 

to feasibility, development, supply, licenses, and quality. The terms of these contracts vary significantly depending on the 
offering and customer requirements. Some of our agreements may include a variety of revenue arrangements such as fee-for-
service, royalties, profit-sharing and fixed fees. We employ a range of capacity access approaches, from standard to completely 
dedicated capacity models, based on consumer and product needs.  We generally secure pricing and contract mechanisms in our 
supply agreements that allow for periodic resetting of pricing terms and, in some cases, these agreements provide for our ability 
to renegotiate pricing in the event of certain price increases for the raw materials utilized in the products we make. Our typical 
supply agreements include indemnification from our customers for product liability and intellectual property matters and caps 
on our contractual liabilities, subject in each case to negotiated exclusions. In addition, our manufacturing supply agreement 
terms range from three to ten years with regular renewals of one to three years, although some of our agreements are terminable 
upon much shorter notice periods, such as 30 or 90 days. For our development solutions offerings, we may enter into master 
service agreements, which provide for standardized terms and conditions and make it easier and faster for customers with 
multiple development needs to access our offerings. 

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 Supply Services segment, backlog represents estimated future service revenues from work not yet completed under 
signed contracts. Using these methods of reporting backlog, as of June 30, 2016, our backlog was approximately $827.5 
million, as compared to approximately $827.6 million as of June 30, 2015, including approximately $292.1 million and $246.0 
million, respectively, related to our Clinical Supply Services segment. We expect to recognize approximately 85% of revenue 
from the backlog in existence as of June 30, 2016 by the completion of the fiscal year ending 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. 

Manufacturing Capabilities 

We operate manufacturing facilities, development centers and sales offices throughout the world. We have thirty-three 

facilities (three locations each operate as two facilities for different reporting segments) on five continents with 5.1 million 
square feet of manufacturing, lab and related space. Our manufacturing capabilities include the full suite of competencies 
relevant to support each site’s activities, including regulatory, quality assurance and in-house validation.  

We operate our plants in accordance with cGMP. More than half of our facilities are registered with the FDA, with the 
remaining facilities being registered with other applicable regulatory agencies, such as the EMA. In some cases, our facilities 
are registered with multiple regulatory agencies.  

We have invested approximately $403.0 million of cash outflows in our manufacturing facilities since fiscal 2014 through 

improvements and expansions in our facilities, including approximately $139.6 million on capital expenditures in fiscal 2016. 
We believe that our facilities and equipment are in good condition, are well maintained and are able to operate at or above 
present levels for the foreseeable future, in all material respects.  

Our manufacturing operations are focused on employee health and safety, regulatory compliance, operational excellence, 
continuous improvement, and process standardization across the organization. In fiscal 2016, we achieved approximately 97% 

16 

 
 
on-time shipment delivery versus customer request date across our network as a result of this focus. Our manufacturing 
operations are structured around an enterprise management philosophy and methodology that utilizes principles and tools 
common to a number of quality management programs, including Lean Six Sigma and Lean Manufacturing.  

Raw Materials 

We use a broad and diverse range of raw materials in the design, development and manufacture of our products. This 
includes, but is not limited to, key materials such as gelatin, starch, and iota carrageenan for our Softgel Technologies segment; 
packaging films for our Clinical Supply Services segment, and resin for our blow-fill-seal business in our Drug Delivery 
Solutions segment. The raw materials that we use are sourced externally on a global basis. Globally, our supplier relationships 
could be interrupted due to natural disasters and international supply disruptions, including those caused by pandemics, 
geopolitical and other issues. For example, the supply of gelatin is obtained from a limited number of sources. In addition, 
much of the gelatin we use is bovine-derived. Past concerns of contamination from Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy 
(“BSE”) have narrowed the number of possible sources of particular types of gelatin. If there were a future disruption in the 
supply of gelatin from any one or more key suppliers, there can be no assurance that we could obtain an alternative supply from 
our other suppliers. If future restrictions were to emerge on the use of bovine-derived gelatin from certain geographic sources 
due to concerns of contamination from BSE, any such restriction could hinder our ability to timely supply our customers with 
products and the use of alternative non-bovine-derived gelatin for specific customer products could be subject to lengthy 
formulation, testing and regulatory approval. 

We work very closely with our suppliers to assure continuity of supply while maintaining excellence in material quality 

and reliability, and we have an active and effective supplier audit program. We continually evaluate alternate sources of supply, 
although we do not frequently pursue regulatory qualification of alternative sources for key raw materials due to the strength of 
our existing supplier relationships, the reliability of our current supplier base and the time and expense associated with the 
regulatory process. Although a change in suppliers could require significant effort or investment by us in circumstances where 
the items supplied are integral to the performance of our products or incorporate specialized material such as gelatin, we do not 
believe that the loss of any existing supply arrangement would have a material adverse effect on our business. See “Risk 
Factors—Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry—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.” 

Competition 

We compete on several fronts both domestically and internationally, including with other companies that offer advanced 

delivery technologies, outsourced dose form manufacturing, or development services to pharmaceutical, biotechnology and 
consumer health companies based in North America, South America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. We also may compete 
with the internal operations of those pharmaceutical, biotechnology and consumer health manufacturers that choose to source 
these services internally, where possible. 

Competition is driven by proprietary technologies and know-how (where relevant), consistency of operational 

performance, quality, price, value and speed. While we do have competitors that compete with us in our individual offerings, 
we do not believe we have competition from any directly comparable companies. 

Research and Development Costs 

Our research activities are primarily directed toward the development of new offerings and manufacturing process 
improvements.  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 $7.6 million, $12.2 million and $17.5 million for the fiscal years ended 
June 30, 2016, June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, respectively.  Costs incurred in connection with research and development 
services we provide 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 $47.4 million, $41.3 
million and $34.0 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016, June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, respectively. 

17 

 
 
 
Employees 

As of June 30, 2016, we had approximately 9,200 employees in thirty-three facilities on five continents: eleven facilities 

are in the United States, with certain employees at one facility being represented by a labor organization with their terms and 
conditions of employment being subject to a collective bargaining agreement. National works councils and/or labor 
organizations are active at all twelve of our European facilities consistent with labor environments/laws in European countries. 
Similar relationships with labor organizations or national works councils exist in our plants in Argentina, Brazil, and Australia. 
Our management believes that our employee relations are satisfactory.

Intellectual Property 

We rely on a combination of know-how, trade secrets, patents, copyrights and trademarks and other intellectual property 
laws, nondisclosure and other contractual provisions and technical measures to protect a number of our offerings, services and 
intangible assets. These proprietary rights are important to our ongoing operations. Certain of our operations and products are 
under intellectual property licenses from third parties, and in certain instances we license our technology to third parties. We 
also have a long track record of innovation across our lines of business, and, to further encourage active innovation, we have 
developed incentive compensation systems linked to patent filings and other recognition and reward programs for scientists and 
non-scientists alike. 

We have applied in the United States and certain foreign countries for registration of a number of trademarks, service 
marks and patents, some of which have been registered and issued, and also hold common law rights in various trademarks and 
service marks. We hold approximately 1,100 patents and patent applications worldwide in advanced drug delivery and 
biologics formulations and technologies, and manufacturing and other areas.  

We hold patents and license rights relating to certain aspects of our formulations, nutritional and pharmaceutical dosage 
forms, mammalian cell engineering, and sterile manufacturing services. We also hold patents relating to certain processes and 
products. We have a number of pending patent applications in the United States and certain foreign countries, and intend to 
pursue additional patents as appropriate. We have enforced and will continue to enforce our intellectual property rights in the 
United States and worldwide. 

We do not consider any particular patent, trademark, license, franchise or concession to be material to our overall 

business. 

Regulatory Matters 

The manufacture, distribution and marketing of healthcare products are subject to extensive ongoing regulation by the 

FDA, other United States (“U.S.”) governmental authorities and foreign regulatory authorities. Certain of our subsidiaries are 
required to register for permits and/or licenses with, and must comply with the operating, cGMP, quality and security standards 
of, applicable domestic and foreign healthcare regulators, including the FDA, the Drug Enforcement Agency (the “DEA”), the 
Department of Health and Human Services (the “DHHS”), the equivalent agencies of European Union (the “EU”) member 
states and various state boards of pharmacy, state health departments and comparable foreign agencies, as well as various 
accrediting bodies, each depending upon the type of operations and the locations of distribution and sale of the products 
manufactured or services provided by those subsidiaries. 

In addition, certain of our subsidiaries are subject to other healthcare laws, including the United States Federal Food, 

Drug, and Cosmetic Act, the Public Health Service Act, the Controlled Substances Act and comparable state and foreign laws 
and regulations in certain of their activities. 

18 

 
 
 
 
We are also subject to various federal, state, local, foreign and transnational laws, regulations and recommendations, both 

in the United States and abroad, relating to safe working conditions, laboratory and distribution practices and the use, 
transportation and disposal of hazardous or potentially hazardous substances. In addition, U.S. and international import and 
export laws and regulations require us to abide by certain standards relating to the cross-border transit of finished goods, raw 
materials and supplies and the handling of information. We are also subject to various other laws and regulations concerning 
the conduct of our foreign operations, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.K. Anti-Bribery Act and other 
anti-bribery laws and laws pertaining to the accuracy of our internal books and records. 

The costs associated with complying with the various applicable federal, state, local, foreign and transnational regulations 

could be significant and the failure to comply with such legal requirements could have an adverse effect on our results of 
operations and financial condition. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry—Failure to comply with 
existing and future regulatory requirements could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition,” for 
additional discussion of the costs associated with complying with the various regulations.  

In fiscal 2016, we were subject to 49 regulatory audits and, over the last five fiscal years, we successfully completed 

more than 250 regulatory audits, with more than 50% resulting in no reported observations.  

Quality Assurance 

We are committed to ensuring and maintaining the highest standard of regulatory compliance while providing high quality 

products to our customers. To meet these commitments, we have developed and implemented a Catalent-wide quality 
management system throughout the organization. We have more than 1,100 employees around the globe focusing on quality 
and regulatory compliance. Our senior management team is actively involved in setting quality policies, standards and internal 
position papers as well as managing internal and external quality performance. Our quality assurance department provides 
quality leadership and supervises our quality systems programs. An internal audit program monitors compliance with 
applicable regulations, standards and internal policies. In addition, our facilities are subject to periodic inspection by the FDA, 
the DEA and other equivalent local, state and foreign regulatory authorities and customers. All FDA, DEA and other regulatory 
inspectional observations have been resolved or are on track to be completed at the prescribed timeframe provided in 
commitments to the applicable agency. We believe that our operations are in compliance in all material respects with the 
regulations under which our facilities are governed.  

Environmental Matters 

Our operations are subject to a variety of environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, including those of the 
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) and equivalent state, local and foreign regulatory agencies in each of the 
jurisdictions in which we operate. These laws and regulations govern, among other things, air emissions, wastewater 
discharges, the use, handling and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes, soil and groundwater contamination and 
employee health and safety. Our manufacturing facilities use, in varying degrees, hazardous substances in their processes. 
These substances include, among others, chlorinated solvents, and in the past chlorinated solvents were used at one or more of 
our facilities, including a number we no longer own or operate. As at our current facilities, contamination at such formerly 
owned or operated properties can result and has resulted in liability to us, for which we have recorded appropriate reserves as 
needed.  We believe that our operations are in compliance in all material respects with the environment, health and safety 
regulations applicable to our facilities. 

Available Information 

We file annual, quarterly and special reports and other information with the SEC. Our filings with the SEC are available 
to the public on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Those filings are also available to the public on, or accessible through, our 
website for free via the “Investors” section at www.catalent.com. 

The information we file with the SEC or contained on or accessible through our corporate website or any other website 
that we may maintain is not incorporated by reference and is not part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. You may also read 
and copy, at SEC prescribed rates, any document we file with the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference Room located at 100 F 
Street, N.E., Washington D.C. 20549. You can call the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330 to obtain information on the operation of the 
Public Reference Room.

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS 

If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, operating results or cash flow could be 

materially and adversely affected. Additional risks or uncertainties not presently known to us, or that we currently believe are 
immaterial, may also impair our business operations. 

Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry 

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

We operate in a market that is highly competitive. We compete on several fronts, both domestically and internationally, 
including competing with other companies that provide similar offerings to pharmaceutical, biotechnology and consumer and 
animal health companies based in North America, Latin America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. We also may compete 
with the internal operations of those pharmaceutical, biotechnology and consumer and animal health manufacturers that choose 
to source these offerings internally, where possible. 

We face material competition in each of our markets. Competition is driven by proprietary technologies and know-how, 

capabilities, consistency of operational performance, quality, price, value and speed. Some competitors may have greater 
financial, research and development, operational and marketing resources than we do.  Competition may also increase as 
additional companies enter our markets or use their existing resources to compete directly with ours. Expanded competition 
from companies in low-cost jurisdictions, such as India and China, may in the future adversely affect our results of operations 
or limit our growth. Greater financial, research and development, operational and marketing resources may allow our 
competitors to respond more quickly with new, alternative or emerging technologies. Changes in the nature or extent of our 
customer requirements may render our offerings obsolete or non-competitive and could adversely affect our results of 
operations and financial condition. 

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. 

Our customers are engaged in research, development, production and marketing of pharmaceutical, biotechnology and 

consumer and animal health products. The amount of customer spending on research, development, production and marketing, 
as well as the outcomes of such research, development, and marketing activities, have a large impact on our sales and 
profitability, particularly the amount our customers choose to spend on our offerings. Our customers determine the amounts 
that they will spend based upon, among other things, available resources and their need to develop new products, which, in 
turn, is dependent upon a number of factors, including their competitors’ research, development and production initiatives, and 
the anticipated market uptake, clinical and reimbursement scenarios for specific products and therapeutic areas. In addition, 
consolidation in the industries in which our customers operate may have an impact on such spending as customers integrate 
acquired operations, including research and development departments and their budgets. Our customers finance their research 
and development spending from private and public sources. A reduction in spending by our customers could have a material 
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. If our customers are not successful in attaining or 
retaining product sales due to market conditions, reimbursement issues or other factors, our results of operations may be 
materially adversely affected. 

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

We are subject to potentially significant product liability and other liability risks that are inherent in the design, 

development, manufacture and marketing of our offerings. We may be named as a defendant in product liability lawsuits, which 
may allege that our offerings have resulted or could result in an unsafe condition or injury to consumers. Such lawsuits could be 
costly to defend and could result in reduced sales, significant liabilities and diversion of management’s time, attention and 
resources. Even claims without merit could subject us to adverse publicity and require us to incur significant legal fees. 

20 

 
Furthermore, product liability claims and lawsuits, regardless of their ultimate outcome, could have a material adverse 

effect on our business operations, financial condition and reputation and on our ability to attract and retain customers. We have 
historically sought to manage this risk through the combination of product liability insurance and contractual indemnities and 
liability limitations in our agreements with customers and vendors. The availability of product liability insurance for companies 
in the pharmaceutical industry is generally more limited than insurance available to companies in other industries. Insurance 
carriers providing product liability insurance to those in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries generally limit the 
amount of available policy limits, require larger self-insured retentions and exclude coverage for certain products and claims. 
We maintain product liability insurance with annual aggregate limits in excess of $25 million. There can be no assurance that a 
successful product liability claim or other liability claim would be adequately covered by our applicable insurance policies or 
by any applicable contractual indemnity or liability limitations. 

Failure to comply with existing and future regulatory requirements could adversely affect our results of operations 
and financial condition.  

The healthcare industry is highly regulated. We are subject to various local, state, federal, foreign and transnational laws 

and regulations, which include the operating, quality and security standards of the FDA, the DEA, various state boards of 
pharmacy, state health departments, the DHHS, similar bodies of the EU and its member states and other comparable agencies 
around the world, and, in the future, any changes to such laws and regulations could adversely affect us. Among other rules 
affecting us, we are subject to laws and regulations concerning cGMP and drug safety. Our subsidiaries may be required to 
register for permits and/or licenses with, and may be required to comply with, the laws and regulations of the FDA, the DEA, 
the DHHS, foreign agencies including the EMA, and other various state boards of pharmacy, state health departments and/or 
comparable state and foreign agencies as well as certain accrediting bodies depending upon the type of operations and locations 
of distribution and sale of the products manufactured or services provided by those subsidiaries. 

The manufacture, distribution and marketing of our offerings are subject to extensive ongoing regulation by the FDA, the 

DEA, the EMA, and other equivalent local, state, federal, foreign and transnational regulatory authorities. Failure by us or by 
our customers to comply with the requirements of these regulatory authorities could result in warning letters, product recalls or 
seizures, monetary sanctions, injunctions to halt manufacture or distribution, restrictions on our operations, civil or criminal 
sanctions, or withdrawal of existing or denial of pending approvals, permits or registrations, including those relating to 
products or facilities. In addition, any such failure relating to the products or services we provide could expose us to contractual 
or product liability claims as well as contractual claims from our customers, including claims for reimbursement for lost or 
damaged active pharmaceutical ingredients, which cost could be significant. Customers may also claim loss of profits due to 
lost or delayed sales, although our contracts generally place substantial limits on such claims.  There can be no assurance that 
any such contractual limitation will be applicable or sufficient or fully enforced in any given situation. 

In addition, any new offering or product classified as a pharmaceutical product must undergo lengthy and rigorous 

clinical testing and other extensive, costly and time-consuming procedures mandated by the FDA, the EMA and other 
equivalent local, state, federal and foreign regulatory authorities. We or our customers may elect to delay or cancel anticipated 
regulatory submissions for current or proposed new products for any number of reasons. 

Although we believe that we comply in all material respects with applicable laws and regulations, there can be no 
assurance that a regulatory agency or tribunal would not reach a different conclusion concerning the compliance of our 
operations with applicable laws and regulations. In addition, there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain or 
renew existing permits, licenses or other regulatory approvals or obtain, without significant delay, future permits, licenses or 
other approvals needed for the operation of our businesses. Any noncompliance by us with applicable laws and regulations or 
the failure to maintain, renew or obtain necessary permits and licenses could have an adverse effect on our results of operations 
and financial condition. Furthermore, loss of a permit, license or other approval in any one portion of our business may have 
indirect consequences in another portion of our business if regulators or customers adjust their reviews of such other portion as 
a result or customers cease business with such other portion due to fears that such loss is a sign of broader concerns about our 
ability to deliver products or services of sufficient quality. 

21 

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

Our results depend on our ability to execute and improve when necessary our quality management strategy and systems, 

and effectively train and maintain our employee base with respect to quality management. Quality management plays an 
essential role in determining and meeting customer requirements, preventing defects and improving our offerings. While we 
have a network of quality systems throughout our business units and facilities that relate to the design, formulation, 
development, manufacturing, packaging, sterilization, handling, distribution and labeling of the products we supply, quality and 
safety issues may occur with respect to any of our offerings. A quality or safety issue could have an adverse effect on our 
business, financial condition and results of operations and may subject us to regulatory actions, including product recalls, 
product seizures, injunctions to halt manufacture or distribution, restrictions on our operations, or civil sanctions, including 
monetary sanctions and criminal actions. In addition, such an issue could subject us to costly litigation, including claims from 
our customers for reimbursement for the cost of lost or damaged active pharmaceutical ingredients or other related losses, the 
cost of which could be significant. 

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. 

The offerings we provide are highly exacting and complex, particularly in our Softgel Technologies and Drug Delivery 

Solutions segments, due in part to strict regulatory requirements. From time to time, problems may arise in connection with 
facility operations or during preparation or provision of an offering, in both cases for a variety of reasons including, but not 
limited to, equipment malfunction, sterility variances or failures, failure to follow specific protocols and procedures, problems 
with raw materials, environmental factors and damage to, or loss of, manufacturing operations due to fire, flood or similar 
causes. Such problems could affect production of a particular batch or series of batches, require the destruction of or otherwise 
result in the loss of product or materials used in the production of product, or could halt facility production altogether. This 
could, among other things, lead to increased costs, lost revenue, damage to customer relations, reimbursement to customers for 
lost active pharmaceutical ingredients or other related losses, time and expense spent investigating the cause, lost production 
time, and, depending on the cause, similar losses with respect to other batches or products. Production problems in our drug 
and biologic manufacturing operations could be particularly significant because the cost of raw materials is often higher than in 
our other businesses. If problems are not discovered before the product is released to the market, recall and product liability 
costs may also be incurred. In addition, such risks may be greater at facilities that are new or going through significant 
expansion or renovation. 

Our global operations are subject to a number of economic, political and regulatory risks. 

We conduct our operations in various regions of the world, including North America, South America, Europe and the 

Asia-Pacific region. Global and regional economic and regulatory developments affect businesses such as ours in many ways. 
Our operations are subject to the effects of global and regional competition, including potential competition from 
manufacturers in low-cost jurisdictions such as India and China. Local jurisdiction risks include regulatory risks arising from 
local laws. Our global operations are also affected by local economic environments, including inflation and recession. Political 
changes, some of which may be disruptive, and related hostilities can interfere with our supply chain and customers and some 
or all of our activities in a particular location. While some of these risks can be hedged using derivatives or other financial 
instruments and some are insurable, such attempts to mitigate these risks are costly and not always successful. Also, 
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates can adversely affect our consolidated financial results. 

The recent 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. 

In June 2016, the United Kingdom (the “U.K.”) held a referendum in which a majority of voters approved the U.K.’s exit 

from the EU, and the U.K. government has publicly announced that it intends to honor that vote and seek an exit. There is no 
immediate change in either the U.K. or the EU as a result of this referendum, and the U.K. government must now decide, 
through legislative action and through negotiations with the EU and other affected parties, what changes will result from the 

22 

 
decision to exit. Four of our thirty-three facilities, employing hundreds of workers, are located in the U.K., and these facilities, 
as well as others in our network, source goods, manufacture goods and provide services from or intended for the U.K. Due to 
future changes in the U.K. resulting from the eventual exit, or in anticipation of such changes, our suppliers, customers or 
employees may change their interactions with us, including changes in imports to or exports from the U.K., changes in the 
requested utilization of our facilities, both within and without the U.K., and changes in our relationships with our workforce in 
the U.K. We cannot anticipate the nature of these changes, as they largely depend on factors outside our control, but the 
changes may result in adverse changes in our future revenues and costs, and therefore our future 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. 

The healthcare industry is characterized by rapid technological change. Demand for our offerings may change in ways we 

may not anticipate because of evolving industry standards as well as a result of evolving customer needs that are increasingly 
sophisticated and varied and the introduction by others of new offerings and technologies that provide alternatives to our 
offerings. Several of our higher margin offerings are based on proprietary technologies. To the extent that our proprietary rights 
are based on patents, patents are inherently of limited longevity and therefore will ultimately expire, and such offerings may 
then become subject to competition. Without the timely introduction of enhanced or new offerings, our offerings may become 
obsolete or uncompetitive over time, in which case our revenue and operating results would suffer. For example, if we are 
unable to respond to changes in the nature or extent of the technological or other needs of our pharmaceutical customers 
through enhancing our offerings, our competition may develop offerings that are more competitive than ours and we could find 
it more difficult to renew or expand existing agreements or obtain new agreements. Potential innovations intended to facilitate 
enhanced or new offerings generally will require a substantial investment before we can determine their commercial viability, 
and we may not have financial resources sufficient to fund all desired innovations. 

The success of enhanced or new offerings will depend on several factors, including our ability to: 

•    properly anticipate and satisfy customer needs, including increasing demand for lower cost products;  

•    enhance, innovate, develop and manufacture new offerings in an economical and timely manner;  

•    differentiate our offerings from competitors’ offerings;  

•    achieve positive clinical outcomes for our customers’ new products;  

•    meet safety requirements and other regulatory requirements of governmental agencies;  

•    obtain valid and enforceable intellectual property rights; and  

•    avoid infringing the proprietary rights of third parties.  

Even if we succeed in creating enhanced or new offerings from these innovations, they may still fail to result in 

commercially successful offerings or may not produce revenue in excess of the costs of development, and they may be rendered 
obsolete by changing customer preferences or the introduction by our competitors of offerings embodying new technologies or 
features. Finally, innovations may not be accepted quickly in the marketplace because of, among other things, entrenched 
patterns of clinical practice, the need for regulatory clearance and uncertainty over market access or government or third-party 
reimbursement. 

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. 

We rely on a combination of know-how, trade secrets, patents, copyrights and trademarks and other intellectual property 

laws, nondisclosure and other contractual provisions and technical measures to protect a number of our offerings and intangible 
assets. These proprietary rights are important to our ongoing operations. There can be no assurance that these protections will 
prove meaningful against competitive offerings or otherwise be commercially valuable or that we will be successful in 
obtaining additional intellectual property or enforcing our intellectual property rights against unauthorized users. Our exclusive 

23 

 
rights under certain of our offerings are protected by patents, some of which will expire in the near term. When patents 
covering an offering expire, loss of exclusivity may occur and this may force us to compete with third parties, thereby affecting 
our revenue and profitability. We do not currently expect any material loss of revenue to occur as a result of the expiration of 
any patent currently protecting our business. 

Our proprietary rights may be invalidated, circumvented or challenged. We may in the future be subject to proceedings 

seeking to oppose or limit the scope of our patent applications or issued patents. In addition, in the future, we may need to take 
legal actions to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets or to determine the validity or scope of the 
proprietary rights of others. Legal proceedings are inherently uncertain, and the outcome of any such legal action may be 
unfavorable to us. 

Any legal action regardless of outcome might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management 
attention. Although we use reasonable efforts to protect our proprietary and confidential information, there can be no assurance 
that our confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements will not be breached, our trade secrets will not otherwise become known 
by competitors or that we will have adequate remedies in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure of proprietary 
information. Even if the validity and enforceability of our intellectual property is upheld, an adjudicator might construe our 
intellectual property not to cover the alleged infringement. In addition, intellectual property enforcement may be unavailable or 
practically ineffective in some foreign countries. There can be no assurance that our competitors will not independently develop 
technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to our technology or that third parties will not design around our 
intellectual property claims to produce competitive offerings. The use of our technology or similar technology by others could 
reduce or eliminate any competitive advantage we have developed, cause us to lose sales or otherwise harm our business. 

We have applied in the United States and certain foreign countries for registration of a number of trademarks, service 
marks and patents, some of which have been registered or issued, and also claim common law rights in various trademarks and 
service marks. In the past, third parties have occasionally opposed our applications to register intellectual property and there 
can be no assurance that they will not do so in the future. It is possible that in some cases we may be unable to obtain the 
registrations for trademarks, service marks and patents for which we have applied and a failure to obtain trademark and patent 
registrations in the United States or other countries could limit our ability to protect our trademarks and proprietary 
technologies and impede our marketing efforts in those jurisdictions. 

Our use of certain intellectual property rights is also subject to license agreements with third parties for certain patents, 

software and information technology systems and proprietary technologies. If these license agreements were terminated for any 
reason, it could result in the loss of our rights to this intellectual property, our operations may be materially adversely affected 
and we may be unable to commercialize certain offerings. 

In addition, many of our branded pharmaceutical customers rely on patents to protect their products from generic 
competition. Because incentives exist in some countries, including the United States, for generic pharmaceutical companies to 
challenge these patents, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies are under the ongoing threat of challenges to their 
patents. If our customers’ patents were successfully challenged and as a result subjected to generic competition, the market for 
our customers’ products could be significantly adversely affected, which could have an adverse effect on our results of 
operations and financial condition. We attempt to mitigate these risks by making our offerings available to generic as well as 
branded manufacturers and distributors, but there can be no assurance that we will be successful in marketing these offerings. 

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. 

We depend on various active pharmaceutical ingredients, components, compounds, raw materials, and energy supplied 

primarily by others for our offerings. This includes, but is not limited to, gelatin, starch, iota carrageenan, petroleum-based 
products and resin. Also, our customers frequently provide to us their active pharmaceutical or biologic ingredient for 
formulation or incorporation in the finished product. It is possible that any of our or our customers' supplier relationships could 

24 

 
 
be interrupted due to changing regulatory requirements, import or export restrictions, natural disasters, international supply 
disruptions caused by pandemics, geopolitical issues and other events, or could be terminated in the future. 

For example, gelatin is a critical component in most of the products produced in our Softgel Technologies segment. 
Gelatin is available from only a limited number of sources. In addition, much of the gelatin we use is bovine-derived. Past 
concerns of contamination from BSE have narrowed the number of possible sources of particular types of gelatin. If there were 
a future disruption in the supply of gelatin from any one or more key suppliers, we may not be able to obtain an adequate 
alternative supply from our other suppliers. If future restrictions were to emerge on the use of bovine-derived gelatin due to 
concerns of contamination from BSE or otherwise, any such restriction could hinder our ability to timely supply our customers 
with products and the use of alternative non-bovine-derived gelatin could be subject to lengthy formulation, testing and 
regulatory approval. 

Any sustained interruption in our receipt of adequate supplies could have an adverse effect on us. In addition, while we 

have processes intended to reduce volatility in component and material pricing, we may not be able to successfully manage 
price fluctuations and future price fluctuations or shortages may have an adverse effect on our results of operations. 

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. 

The healthcare industry has changed significantly over time, and we expect the industry to continue to evolve. Some of 
these changes, such as ongoing healthcare reform, adverse changes in governmental or private funding of healthcare products 
and services, legislation or regulations governing patient access to care and privacy, or the delivery, pricing or reimbursement 
approval of pharmaceuticals and healthcare services or mandated benefits, may cause healthcare industry participants to change 
the amount of our offerings they purchase or the price they are willing to pay for our offerings. Changes in the healthcare 
industry’s pricing, selling, inventory, distribution or supply policies or practices could also significantly reduce our revenue and 
results of operations. In particular, volatility in individual product demand may result from changes in public or private payer 
reimbursement or coverage. 

Fluctuations in the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar and other foreign currencies could have a material adverse effect 
on our financial performance and results of operations. 

As a company with many international operations, certain revenues, costs, assets and liabilities, including a portion of our 

senior secured credit facilities, are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. As a result, changes in the exchange 
rates of these currencies or any other applicable currency to the U.S. dollar will affect our revenues, earnings and cash flows. 
There has been, and may continue to be, volatility in currency exchange rates as a result of the U.K.'s referendum in which 
voters approved the U.K.'s exit from the EU. Such volatility and other changes in the exchange rates could result in unrealized 
and realized exchange losses despite any effort we may undertake to manage or mitigate our exposure to foreign currency 
fluctuations. 

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

We are a large multinational corporation with operations in the United States and international jurisdictions, including 

North America, South America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. As such, we are subject to the tax laws and regulations of 
the United States federal, state and local governments and of many international jurisdictions. From time to time, various 
legislative initiatives may be proposed that could adversely affect our tax positions. There can be no assurance that our 
effective tax rate or tax payments will not be adversely affected by these initiatives. In addition, United States federal, state and 
local, as well as international tax laws and regulations are extremely complex and subject to varying interpretations. There can 
be no assurance that our tax positions will not be challenged by relevant tax authorities or that we would be successful in any 
such challenge. 

25 

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

We have net operating loss carryforwards available to reduce future taxable income. Utilization of our net operating loss 
carryforwards may be subject to a substantial limitation under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended 
(the “Code”), and comparable provisions of state, local and foreign tax laws due to changes in ownership of our company that 
may occur in the future. Under Section 382 of the Code and comparable provisions of state, local and foreign tax laws, if a 
corporation undergoes an “ownership change,” generally defined as a greater than 50% change by value in its equity ownership 
over a three-year period, the corporation’s ability to carry forward its pre-change net operating losses to reduce its post-change 
income may be limited. We may experience ownership changes in the future as a result of future changes in our stock 
ownership. As a result, our ability to use our pre-change net operating loss carryforwards to reduce U.S. federal and state 
taxable income we produce in the future years may be subject to limitations, which could result in increased future tax liability 
to us. 

We may be required to establish an additional valuation allowance against our U.S. deferred tax assets in the future. 

We have deferred tax assets for net operating loss carryforwards and other temporary differences.  We currently do not 

maintain a valuation allowance for a portion of our U.S. net deferred tax assets.  We may experience, in the future, a decline in 
U.S. federal taxable income, resulting from a decline in profitability of our U.S. operations, an increased level of debt in the 
U.S. or other factors.  In assessing our ability to realize our U.S. deferred tax assets, we may conclude that it is more likely than 
not that some portion or all of our U.S. deferred tax assets will not be realized.  As a result, we may be required to record an 
additional valuation allowance against our U.S. deferred tax assets, which could adversely affect our effective income tax rate 
and therefore our financial results. 

We are dependent on key personnel. 

We depend on our executive officers and other key personnel, including our technical personnel, to operate and grow our 
business and to develop new enhancements, offerings and technologies. The loss of any of these officers or other key personnel 
combined with a failure to attract and retain suitably skilled technical personnel could adversely affect our operations. 

In addition to our executive officers, we rely on approximately 150 senior employees to lead and direct the Company. 
Our senior leadership team (“SLT”) is comprised of our executive officers and other vice presidents and directors who hold 
critical positions and possess specialized talents and capabilities that give us a competitive advantage in the market. The 
members of the SLT hold positions such as facility general manager, vice president/general manager of business unit 
commercial development, vice president of quality and regulatory activities and vice president-finance.  

With respect to our technical talent, we have approximately 1,400 scientists and technicians whose areas of expertise and 

specialization cover subjects such as advanced delivery, drug and biologics formulation and manufacturing. Many of our sites 
and laboratories are located in competitive labor markets like those in which our Morrisville, North Carolina; Brussels, 
Belgium; Woodstock, Illinois; Madison, Wisconsin; and Schorndorf, Germany facilities are located. Global and regional 
competitors and, in some cases, customers and suppliers, compete for the same skills and talent as we do.  

Risks generally associated with information and communications systems could adversely affect our results of 
operations. 

We rely on information systems in our business to obtain, rapidly process, analyze and manage data to: 

•  

•  

•  

•  

 facilitate the manufacture and distribution of thousands of inventory items in, to and from our facilities;  

 receive, process and ship orders on a timely basis;  

manage the accurate billing and collections for roughly one thousand customers;  

manage the accurate accounting and payment for thousands of vendors;  

26 

 
 
•  

•  

schedule and operate our global network of development, manufacturing and packaging facilities; and 

communicate among our 9,200 employees spread across thirty-three facilities over five continents.  

Our results of operations could be adversely affected if these systems are interrupted, damaged by unforeseen events or 
fail for any extended period of time, including due to the actions of third parties. We deploy defenses against cyber-attack and 
work to secure the integrity of our data systems using techniques, hardware and software typical of companies of our size and 
scope, but there can be no assurance that such defenses and efforts will be sufficient to combat increasingly sophisticated 
intruders and others who regularly try to cause harm to or interfere with our normal use of our systems. 

We may 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 future success may depend in part on opportunities to buy or otherwise acquire rights to other businesses or 

technologies or enter into joint ventures or otherwise enter into strategic arrangements with business partners that could 
complement, enhance or expand our current business or offerings and services or that might otherwise offer us growth 
opportunities. We may face competition from other companies in pursuing acquisitions and similar transactions in the 
pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry. Our ability to complete such transactions may also be limited by applicable 
antitrust and trade regulation laws and regulations in the United States and foreign jurisdictions in which we or the operations 
or assets we seek to acquire carry on business. To the extent that we are successful in making acquisitions, we may have to 
expend substantial amounts of cash, incur debt or assume loss-making divisions as consideration. We may not be able to 
complete such transactions for reasons including, but not limited to, a failure to secure financing. Any transaction that we are 
able to identify and complete may involve a number of risks, including, but not limited to, the diversion of management’s 
attention to integrate the acquired businesses or joint ventures, the possible adverse effects on our operating results during the 
integration process, the potential loss of customers or employees in connection with the acquisition, delays or reduction in 
realizing expected synergies, unexpected liabilities and our potential inability to achieve our intended objectives for the 
transaction. In addition, we may be unable to maintain uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies, and this may lead 
to operational inefficiencies. 

To the extent that we are not successful in completing divestitures, as such may be determined by future strategic plans 
and business performance, we may have to expend substantial amounts of cash, incur debt and continue to absorb the costs of 
loss-making or under-performing divisions. Any divestiture, whether we are able to complete it or not may involve a number of 
risks, including diversion of management’s attention, a negative impact on our customer relationships, costs associated with 
maintaining the business of the targeted divestiture during the disposition process, and the costs of closing and disposing of the 
affected business or transferring the operations of the business to other facilities. 

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

From time to time, third parties have asserted intellectual property infringement claims against us and our customers, and 

there can be no assurance that third parties will not assert infringement claims against either us or our customers in the future. 
While we believe that our offerings do not infringe in any material respect upon proprietary rights of other parties and/or that 
meritorious defenses would exist with respect to any assertion to the contrary, there can be no assurance that we could 
successfully avoid being found to infringe on the proprietary rights of others. Patent applications in the United States and some 
foreign countries are generally not publicly disclosed until the patent is issued or published, and we and our customers may not 
be aware of currently filed patent applications that relate to our or their products, offerings or processes. If patents later issue on 
these applications, we or they may be found liable for subsequent infringement. There has been substantial litigation in the 
pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries with respect to the manufacture, use and sale of products that are the subject of 
conflicting patent rights. 

Any claim that our offerings or processes infringe third-party intellectual property rights (including claims arising 
through our contractual indemnification of our customers), regardless of the claim's merit or resolution, could be costly and 
may divert the efforts and attention of our management and technical personnel. We may not prevail against any such claim 

27 

 
given the complex technical issues and inherent uncertainties in intellectual property matters. If any such claim results in an 
adverse outcome, we could, among other things, be required to: 

•  

•  

•  

•  

•  

•  

pay substantial damages (potentially including treble damages in the United States);  

cease the manufacture, use or sale of the infringing offerings or processes;  

discontinue the use of the infringing technology;  

expend significant resources to develop non-infringing technology;  

license technology from the third party claiming infringement, which license may not be available on commercially 
reasonable terms, or may not be available at all; and  

lose the opportunity to license our technology to others or to collect royalty payments based upon successful 
protection and assertion of our intellectual property against others.  

In addition, our customers’ products may be subject to claims of intellectual property infringement and such claims could 

materially affect our business if their products cease to be manufactured or they have to discontinue the use of the infringing 
technology. 

Any of the foregoing could affect our ability to compete or have a material adverse effect on our business, financial 

condition and results of operations. 

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

Our operations are subject to a variety of environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, including those of the 

EPA and the U.S. Occupational Safety & Health Administration and equivalent local, state, and foreign regulatory agencies in 
each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. These laws and regulations govern, among other things, air emissions, 
wastewater discharges, the use, handling and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes, soil and groundwater contamination 
and employee health and safety. Any failure by us to comply with environmental, health and safety requirements could result in 
the limitation or suspension of production or subject us to monetary fines or civil or criminal sanctions, or other future 
liabilities in excess of our reserves. We are also subject to laws and regulations governing the destruction and disposal of raw 
materials and non-compliant products, the handling of regulated material that are included in our offerings, and the disposal of 
our products or their components at the end of their useful lives. In addition, compliance with environmental, health and safety 
requirements could restrict our ability to expand our facilities or require us to acquire costly environmental or safety control 
equipment, incur other significant expenses or modify our manufacturing processes. Our manufacturing facilities may use, in 
varying degrees, hazardous substances in their processes. These substances include, among others, chlorinated solvents, and in 
the past chlorinated solvents were used at one or more of our facilities, including a number we no longer own or operate. As at 
our current facilities, contamination at such formerly owned or operated properties can result and has resulted in liability to us. 
In the event of the discovery of new or previously unknown contamination either at our facilities or at third-party locations, 
including facilities we formerly owned or operated, the issuance of additional requirements with respect to existing 
contamination, or the imposition of other cleanup obligations for which we are responsible, we may be required to take 
additional, unplanned remedial measures for which no reserves have been recorded. We are conducting monitoring and cleanup 
of contamination at certain facilities currently or formerly owned or operated by us. We have established accounting reserves 
for certain contamination liabilities but cannot assure that such liabilities will not exceed our reserves. 

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

We employ approximately 9,200 employees worldwide, including approximately 3,900 employees in North America, 
3,600 in Europe, 900 in South America and 800 in the Asia/Pacific region. Certain employees at one of our North American 
facilities are represented by a labor organization, and national works councils and/or labor organizations are active at all of our 
European facilities and certain of our other facilities consistent with local labor environments/laws. Our management believes 

28 

 
that our employee relations are satisfactory. However, further organizing activities, collective bargaining or changes in the 
regulatory framework for employment may increase our employment-related costs or may result in work stoppages or other 
labor disruptions. Moreover, as employers are subject to various employment-related claims, such as individual and class 
actions relating to alleged employment discrimination and wage-hour and labor standards issues, such actions, if brought 
against us and successful in whole or in part, may affect our ability to compete or have a material adverse effect on our 
business, financial condition and results of operations.  

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. 

Certain of our current and former employees in the U.S., the U.K., Germany, France, Japan and Australia are participants 

in defined benefit pension plans that we sponsor. As of June 30, 2016, the underfunded amount of our pension plans on a 
worldwide basis was approximately $109.0 million, primarily related to our pension plans in the U.K. and Germany. In 
addition, we have an estimated obligation of approximately $39.3 million, as of June 30, 2016, related to our withdrawal from a 
multiemployer pension plan in which we formerly participated, resulting in total obligations related to our pension plans of 
$148.3 million as of June 30, 2016. In general, the amount of future contributions to the underfunded plans will depend upon 
asset returns, applicable actuarial assumptions, prevailing and expected interest rates and other factors, and, as a result, the 
amount we may be required to contribute in the future to fund the obligations associated with such plans may vary. Such cash 
contributions to the plans will reduce the cash available for our business, including the funds available to pursue strategic 
growth initiatives or the payment of interest expense on our indebtedness.  

Risks Relating to Our Indebtedness 

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 are highly leveraged.  As of June 30, 2016, we had $1,799.4 million (dollar equivalent) of senior indebtedness; an 
additional $186.1 million of un-utilized capacity and $13.9 million of outstanding letters of credit under our revolving credit 
facility. 

Our high degree of leverage could have important consequences for us, including: 

•  

•  

•  

increasing our vulnerability to adverse economic, industry or competitive developments;  

exposing us to the risk of increased interest rates because certain of our borrowings, including borrowings under 
our senior secured credit facilities, are at variable rates of interest;  

exposing us to the risk of fluctuations in exchange rates because certain of our borrowings, including certain of our 
senior secured term loan facilities, are denominated in euros;  

•   making it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to our indebtedness, and any failure to comply 
with the obligations of any of our debt instruments, including restrictive covenants and borrowing conditions, could 
result in an event of default under the agreements governing such indebtedness;  

•  

•  

•  

restricting us from making strategic acquisitions or capital investments or causing us to make non-strategic 
divestitures;  

limiting our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, product development, 
debt service requirements, acquisitions and general corporate or other purposes; and  

limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business or market conditions and placing us 
at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors who are less highly leveraged and who, therefore, may 
be able to take advantage of opportunities that our leverage prevents us from exploiting.  

29 

 
 
Our total interest expense, net was $88.5 million, $105.0 million and $163.1 million for fiscal years 2016, 2015 and 2014, 
respectively. After taking into consideration our ratio of fixed-to-floating rate debt, an increase of 100 basis points in such rates 
would increase our annual interest expense by approximately $6.9 million.  

Despite our high indebtedness level, we and our subsidiaries will still be able to incur significant additional debt, 
which could further exacerbate the risks associated with our substantial indebtedness. 

We and our subsidiaries may be able to incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future. Although the agreements 
governing our indebtedness contain restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, these restrictions are subject to a 
number of significant qualifications and exceptions, and, under certain circumstances, the amount of indebtedness that we may 
incur while remaining in compliance with these restrictions could be substantial. 

Our debt agreements contain restrictions that limit our flexibility in operating our business. 

The agreements governing our outstanding indebtedness contain various covenants that limit our ability to engage in 
specified types of transactions. These covenants limit the ability of the Operating Company and those of its subsidiaries to 
which these covenants apply (which our credit agreements call "restricted subsidiaries") to, among other things: 

•  

•  

•  

•  

•  

•  

•  

•  

•  

•  

incur additional indebtedness and issue certain preferred stock;  

pay certain dividends on, repurchase or make distributions in respect of capital stock or make other restricted 
payments;  

pay distributions from restricted subsidiaries;  

issue or sell capital stock of restricted subsidiaries;  

guarantee certain indebtedness;  

make certain investments;  

sell or exchange assets;  

enter into transactions with affiliates;  

create certain liens; and  

consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of their assets and the assets of their subsidiaries, when 
considered on a consolidated basis.  

A breach of any of these covenants could result in a default under one or more of these agreements, including as a result 

of cross-default provisions, and, in the case of our revolving credit facility, permit the lenders to cease making loans to us. 

We may use derivative financial instruments to reduce our exposure to market risks from changes in interest rates on 
our variable-rate indebtedness and any such instruments may expose us to risks related to counterparty credit 
worthiness or non-performance of these instruments. 

We may enter into interest-rate swap agreements or other hedging transactions in an attempt to limit our exposure to 
changes in variable interest rates. Such instruments may result in economic losses if, for example, prevailing interest rates 
decline to a point lower than any applicable fixed-rate commitment. Any such swap will expose us to credit-related risks that, if 
realized could adversely affect our results of operations or financial condition. 

30 

 
 
Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock 

Our stock price may change significantly, and you may not be able to resell shares of our common stock at or above 
the price you paid or at all, and you could lose all or part of your investment as a result. 

The trading price of our common stock has been and continues to be volatile.  Since shares of our common stock were 

offered for sale in our initial public offering on July 31, 2014 through June 30, 2016, our common stock price ranged from 
$18.92 to $34.42. The trading price of our common stock may be adversely affected due to a number of factors such as those 
listed in “Risks Related to Our Business and Our Industry” and the following: 

•  

•  

•  

•  

•  

•  

•  

•  

•  

•  

•  

•  

•  

•  

•  

•  

results of operations that vary from the expectations of securities analysts or investors;  

results of operations that vary from those of our competitors;  

changes in expectations as to our future financial performance, including financial estimates and investment 
recommendations by securities analysts or investors;  

declines in the market prices of stocks generally, or those of pharmaceutical or other healthcare companies;  

strategic actions by us or our competitors;  

announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts, new products, acquisitions, joint marketing 
relationships, joint ventures, other strategic relationships or capital commitments;  

changes in general economic or market conditions or trends in our industry or markets;  

changes in business or regulatory conditions or regulatory actions taken with respect to our business or the business 
of any of our competitors or customers;  

future sales of our common stock or other securities;  

investor perceptions of the investment opportunity associated with our common stock relative to other investment 
alternatives;  

the public response to press releases or other public announcements by us or third parties, including our filings with 
or documents furnished to the SEC;  

announcements relating to litigation;  

guidance, if any, that we provide to the public, any change in this guidance or any failure to meet this guidance;  

the development and sustainability of an active trading market for our stock;  

changes in accounting principles or our application of these principles to our business; and  

other events or factors, including those resulting from natural disasters, hostilities, acts of terrorism, geopolitical 
activity or responses to these events.  

Broad market and industry fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock, regardless of our 
actual operating performance. In addition, price volatility may be greater if the public float or trading volume of our common 
stock is low, and the amount of public float on any given day can vary depending on whether our stockholders choose to hold 
for the long term. 

Following periods of market volatility, stockholders have been known to institute securities class action litigation in 

order to recover their resulting losses. If we become involved in securities litigation, it could have a substantial cost and divert 
resources and the attention of senior management from our business regardless of the outcome of such litigation. 

Because we have no plan to pay cash dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future, you may not receive 
any return on your investment in your stock unless you sell it for a net price greater than that which you paid for it. 

We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, for future operations, expansion and debt repayment and have no 
current plan to pay any cash dividend for the foreseeable future. Our board of directors has also authorized a stock buyback 

31 

 
program that we may use from time to time to purchase our common stock.  Any future decision to pay a dividend, and the 
amount and timing of any future dividend on shares of our common stock will be at the sole discretion of our board of 
directors. Our board of directors may take into account, when deciding whether or how to pay a dividend, numerous factors, 
including general and economic conditions, our financial condition and results of operations, our available cash and current and 
anticipated cash needs, possible future alternative deployments of our cash, our future capital requirements, contractual, legal, 
tax and regulatory restrictions and implications on the payment of dividends by us to our stockholders or by our subsidiaries to 
us and such other factors as our board of directors may deem relevant. In addition, our ability to pay dividends is limited by 
covenants in the agreements governing our outstanding indebtedness and may be limited by covenants of any future 
indebtedness we or our subsidiaries incur. As a result, you may not receive any return on an investment in our common stock 
unless you sell our common stock for a price greater than that which you paid for it, taking into account any applicable 
commission or other costs of acquisition or sale. 

If securities analysts do not publish research or reports about our business or if they downgrade our stock or our 
sector, our stock price and trading volume could decline. 

The trading market for our common stock has been affected in part by the research and reports that industry and financial 

analysts publish about us or our business. We do not control these analysts. Furthermore, if one or more of the analysts who 
cover us downgrade our stock or our industry, change their views regarding the stock of any of our competitors or other 
healthcare sector companies, or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the market price of our stock 
could decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of us or fails to publish reports on us regularly, we could lose 
visibility in the market, which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline. 

Future sales, or the perception of future sales of common stock, by us or our existing stockholders could cause the 
market price for our common stock to decline. 

The sale of shares of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could harm the 

prevailing market price of shares of our common stock. These sales, or the possibility that these sales may occur, also might 
make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate. 

As of August 22, 2016, 131,704 shares of our common stock, representing less than 1% of our total outstanding shares of 

common stock, are “restricted securities” within the meaning of the SEC's Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act 
(“Rule 144”) and subject to certain restrictions on resale. Restricted securities may be sold in the public market only if they are 
registered under the Securities Act or are sold pursuant to an exemption from registration such as Rule 144. 

In addition, 1,423,389 shares of common stock may become eligible for sale upon exercise of vested options and 
restricted share units.  A total of 6,700,000 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under the 2014 Omnibus 
Incentive Plan, of which 3,177,262 shares of common stock remain available for future issuance at August 22, 2016.  These 
shares can be sold in the public market upon issuance, subject to restrictions under the securities laws applicable to resales by 
affiliates.  

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement, certain holders of restricted shares, subject to certain conditions, may require 

us to register or otherwise facilitate the sale under the Securities Act of their shares of common stock. Any exercise of their 
registration rights, or any sale by one or more of them of a substantial number of shares, could cause the then-prevailing market 
price of our common stock to decline. The shares subject to the registration rights agreement represent approximately 15.6% of 
our outstanding shares of common stock. 

The market price of shares of our common stock could drop significantly if the holders of these shares sell them or are 

perceived by the market as intending to sell them. These factors could also make it more difficult for us to raise additional 
funds through future offerings of shares of our common stock or other equity securities that we wish to issue. In the future, we 
may also issue our securities in connection with investments or acquisitions. The number of shares of our common stock issued 
in connection with an investment or acquisition could constitute a material portion of then-outstanding shares of our common 
stock, subject to limitations on issuance of new shares without stockholder approval imposed by the NYSE. Any issuance of 
additional securities in connection with investments or acquisitions may result in dilution to you. 

32 

 
Anti-takeover provisions in our organizational documents could delay or prevent a change of control. 

Certain provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws may have an 

anti-takeover effect and may delay, defer or prevent a merger, acquisition, tender offer, takeover attempt or other change of 
control transaction that may otherwise be in the best interests of our stockholders, including transactions that might otherwise 
result in the payment of a premium over the market price for the shares held by our stockholders. 

These provisions provide for, among other things: 

•  a classified board of directors with staggered three-year terms; 

•  the ability of our board of directors to issue one or more series of preferred stock;  

•  advance notice for nominations of directors by stockholders and for stockholders to include matters to be considered at 

our annual meetings;  

•  certain limitations on convening special stockholder meetings; 

•  the removal of directors only for cause and only upon the affirmative vote of holders of at least 66-2/3% of the shares 

of common stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors; and  

•  any amendment of certain provisions only by the affirmative vote of at least 66-2/3% of the shares of common stock 

entitled to vote generally in the election of directors.  

These anti-takeover provisions could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if the third-party’s offer 

may be considered beneficial by many of our stockholders. As a result, our stockholders may be limited in their ability to obtain 
a premium for their shares. 

Affiliates of Blackstone have substantial influence over us, and their interests may conflict with ours or yours in the 
future. 

Affiliates of Blackstone beneficially own approximately 13.7% of our common stock. As a result, investment funds 
associated with or designated by affiliates of Blackstone have the ability to influence the election of the members of our board 
of directors and thereby affect our policies and operations, including the appointment of management, future issuances of our 
common stock or other securities, the payment of dividends, if any, on our common stock, the incurrence or modification of 
debt by us, amendments to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws and the 
entering into of extraordinary transactions, and their interests may not in all cases be aligned with your interests. In addition, 
Blackstone may have an interest in pursuing acquisitions, divestitures and other transactions that, in its judgment, could 
enhance its investment, even though such transactions might involve risks to you. 

Blackstone is in the business of making investments in companies and may from time to time acquire and hold interests 

in businesses that compete directly or indirectly with us. For example, Blackstone has made investments in Biomet, Inc., 
Emcure Pharmaceuticals Ltd., Apria Healthcare Group Inc., Nycomed Holding A/S, DJO Global LLC, Independent Clinical 
Services Ltd, Southern Cross Healthcare Group PLC, Stiefel Laboratories, Inc., Team Health Holdings, Inc. and Vanguard 
Health Systems, Inc. 

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that none of Blackstone, any of its affiliates or any 
director who is not employed by us (including any non-employee director who serves as one of our officers in both his director 
and officer capacities) or his or her affiliates has any duty to refrain from engaging, directly or indirectly, in the same business 
activities or similar business activities or lines of business in which we operate. Blackstone also may pursue acquisition 
opportunities that may be complementary to our business, and, as a result, those acquisition opportunities may not be available 
to us. So long as Blackstone continues to own a significant amount of our combined voting power, Blackstone will continue to 
be able to exercise substantial influence over our decisions, and, so long as Blackstone and its affiliates collectively own at least 
5% of all outstanding shares of our stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, it will be able to appoint 
individuals to our board of directors under a stockholders agreement. The concentration of ownership could deprive you of an 
opportunity to receive a premium for your shares of common stock as part of a sale of the Company and ultimately might affect 
the market price of our common stock.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS 

From time to time, we 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, claims for reimbursement for the cost of lost or damaged 
active pharmaceutical ingredients or delayed production of customer product and employment-related claims, the cost of any of 
which could be significant. We intend to vigorously defend ourselves against any such litigation and do not currently believe 
that the outcome of any such litigation will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. 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, we receive subpoenas or requests for information from private parties and various governmental 

agencies, including from state attorneys general and the U.S. Department of Justice relating to the business practices of 
customers or suppliers. We generally respond 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 by us. We expect 
to incur costs in the future in connection with future requests. 

During the period November 2015 through April 2016, the primary French drug regulatory agency (the “ANSM”) 
temporarily suspended operations at the Company’s softgel manufacturing facility in Beinheim, France, subject to exemptions 
for certain types of operations. Due to the temporary suspension, the Company was unable to use certain raw materials, work in 
process and finished goods, and took a charge of $1.0 million, net of insurance recoveries, during the year ended June 30, 2016, 
in connection with such loss of use and recorded remediation associated costs of $6.0 million. Further, certain of the customers 
of the facility have presented claims against the Company for losses 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 these claims or the likely cost to resolve them. Changes to the operations at the facility to address the issues leading to 
the suspension have increased and may in the future additionally increase the cost and therefore decrease the profitability of its 
operation and may also require the Company to incur additional costs.

The principal market for trading of the Company’s common stock is the NYSE.   The following table sets forth the high 

and low sale prices per share for our common stock as reported on the NYSE for the period indicated:

As of August 22, 2016 we had approximately 29 holders of record of our common stock. This number does not include 

beneficial owners whose shares were held in street name. 

We have no current plans to pay dividends on our common stock. Any decision to declare and pay dividends in the future 

will be made at the sole discretion of our board of directors and will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, 
cash requirements, financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. 
Because we are a holding company and have no direct operations, we will only be able to pay dividends from funds we receive 
from our subsidiaries. In addition, our ability to pay dividends will be limited by covenants in our existing indebtedness and 
may be limited by the agreements governing other indebtedness we or our subsidiaries incur in the future. See “Management's 
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Debt Covenants.” 

We did not declare or pay any dividends on our common stock in fiscal 2016 or fiscal 2015.  

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities 

We did not sell any unregistered securities during the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. 

Purchases of Equity Securities 

On October 29, 2015, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program to use up to $100.0 million to 
repurchase outstanding shares of our common stock.  We may repurchase shares under the program through open market 
purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise as permitted by applicable federal securities laws.  There was no 
purchase by us, on our behalf, or on behalf of any affiliate of our registered equity securities during the period covered by this 
Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Performance Graph 

Set forth below is a line graph comparing the cumulative total shareholder return on the Company’s common stock since 
July 31, 2014 (the date our common stock commenced trading on the NYSE) through June 30, 2016, based on the market price 
of the Company’s common stock and assuming reinvestment of dividends, with the cumulative total shareholder return of 
companies on the S&P Composite 1500 Index and S&P Composite 1500 Healthcare Index.  The graph assumes that $100 was 
invested in the Company’s common stock and in each index at the market close on July 31, 2014.  The stock price performance 
of the following graph is not necessarily indicative of future stock performance.

In connection with the Company's adoption of ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, as 
of January 1, 2016, prior year debt balances have been retrospectively adjusted to include a direct deduction of 
unamortized debt issuance costs, resulting in a reclassification of $7.1 million, $16.8 million, $18.2 million and $22.7 
million of debt issuance costs as of June 30, 2015, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively, to long-term debt, including 
current portion and other short term borrowing for the respective periods.  Prior to the adoption of ASU 2015-03, the 
unamortized debt issuance costs were included in other assets on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.  The 
unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the Company's revolving credit facility continues to be included 
within other assets. 

(3)  The ratio of earnings to fixed charges is calculated by dividing the sum of earnings from continuing operations before 
income taxes, equity in earnings (loss) from non-consolidated investments and fixed charges, by fixed charges. Fixed 
charges consist of interest expenses, capitalized interest and imputed interest on our leased obligations. For fiscal year 
2013, earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges by $25.9 million.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF 

OPERATIONS 

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction 
with “Item 6. Selected Financial Data” and our consolidated financial statements and related notes that appear elsewhere in 
this  Annual  Report  on  Form  10-K.  In  addition  to  historical  consolidated  financial  information,  the  following  discussion 
contains  forward-looking  statements  that  reflect  our  plans,  estimates,  and  beliefs.  Our  actual  results  could  differ  materially 
from  those  discussed  in  the  forward-looking  statements.  Factors  that  could  cause  or  contribute  to  these  differences  include 
those discussed below and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, particularly in “Item 1A. Risk Factors.” 

Overview 

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 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 and their patients' needs to develop more products and better treatments for patients and consumers. Across both 
development and delivery, our commitment to reliably supply our customers’ 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 "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 ASC 280 Segment Reporting as 
discussed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Our offerings and services are summarized below by reporting 
segment. 

Advanced Delivery Technology Platforms 

Softgel Technologies 

Through our Softgel Technologies segment, we provide formulation, development and manufacturing services for soft 

capsules, or “softgels,” which we first commercialized in the 1930s and have continually enhanced. We are the market leader in 
overall softgel manufacturing, and hold the leading market position in the prescription arena. Our principal softgel technologies 
include traditional softgel capsules, in which the shell is made of animal-derived gelatin, and Vegicaps and OptiShell capsules, 
in which the shell is made from vegetable-derived materials.  Softgel capsules are used in a broad range of customer products, 
including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, dietary supplements and unit-dose cosmetics. Softgel capsules 
encapsulate liquid, paste or oil-based active compounds in solution or suspension within an outer shell, filling and sealing the 

41 

 
capsule simultaneously. We typically perform all encapsulation for a product within one of our softgel facilities, with active 
ingredients provided by customers or sourced directly by us. Softgels have historically been used to solve formulation 
challenges or technical issues for a specific drug, to help improve the clinical performance of compounds, to provide important 
market differentiation, particularly for over-the-counter compounds, and to provide safe handling of hormonal, potent and 
cytotoxic drugs. We also participate in the softgel vitamin, mineral and supplement business in selected regions around the 
world. With the 2001 introduction of our vegetable-derived softgel shell, Vegicaps capsules, consumer health manufacturers 
have been able to extend the softgel dose form to a broader range of active ingredients and serve patient/consumer populations 
that were previously inaccessible due to religious, dietary or cultural preferences. In recent years, we have extended this 
platform to pharmaceutical products via our OptiShell offering. Our Vegicaps and OptiShell capsules are protected by patents 
in most major global markets. Physician and patient studies we have conducted have demonstrated a preference for softgels 
versus traditional tablet and hard capsule dose forms in terms of ease of swallowing, real or perceived speed of delivery, ability 
to remove or eliminate unpleasant odor or taste and, for physicians, perceived improved patient adherence with dosing 
regimens.  Representative customers of Softgel Technologies include Pfizer, Novartis, Bayer, GlaxoSmithKline, Teva, Johnson 
& Johnson and Allergan. 

We have eleven Softgel Technologies facilities in nine countries, including one in North America, three in Europe, three 

in South America and four in the Asia-Pacific region.  Our Softgel Technologies segment represents 41% of the segments' 
aggregate revenue before inter-segment eliminations for fiscal 2016.  

Drug Delivery Solutions 

Our Drug Delivery Solutions segment provides various complex advanced formulation delivery technologies, and related 

integrated solutions including:  development and manufacturing of a broad range of oral dose forms including fast-dissolve 
tablets and both proprietary and conventional controlled release products, and delivery of pharmaceuticals, biologics and 
biosimilars administered via injection, inhalation and ophthalmic routes, using both traditional and advanced technologies.  
Representative customers of DDS include Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline, Roche, Teva, Eli Lilly, Johnson & Johnson and Allergan. 

We provide comprehensive pre-formulation, development, and both clinical and commercial scale for most traditional and 

advanced oral solid dose formats, including uncoated and coated tablets, powder/pellet/bead-filled two piece hard capsules, 
lozenges, powders and other forms for immediate and modified release prescription, consumer and animal health products.  We 
have substantial experience developing and scaling up products requiring accelerated development timelines, requiring 
specialized handling, complex technology transfers, or specialized manufacturing processes. 

 We launched our orally dissolving tablet business in 1986 with the introduction of Zydis tablets, a unique oral dosage 

form that is freeze-dried in its package, can be swallowed without water, and typically dissolves in the mouth in less than three 
seconds. Most often used for indications, drugs and patient groups that can benefit from rapid oral disintegration, the Zydis 
technology is utilized in a wide range of products and indications, including treatments for a variety of central nervous system-
related conditions such as migraines, Parkinson’s Disease, schizophrenia, and pain relief and consumer healthcare products 
targeting allergy relief. Zydis tablets continue to be used in new ways by our customers as we extend the application of the 
technology to new categories, such as for immunotherapies, vaccines and biologics delivery. 

Our range of injectable manufacturing offerings includes filling drugs or biologics into pre-filled syringes and glass-free 

ADVASEPT vials, with flexibility to accommodate other formats within our existing network, increasingly focused on complex 
pharmaceuticals and biologics. With our range of technologies we are able to meet a wide range of specifications, timelines and 
budgets. The complexity of the manufacturing process, the importance of experience and know-how, regulatory compliance, 
and high start-up capital requirements create significant barriers to entry and, as a result, limit the number of competitors in the 
market. For example, blow-fill-seal is an advanced aseptic processing technology, which uses a continuous process to form, fill 
with drug, and seal a plastic container in a sterile environment. Blow-fill-seal units are currently used for a variety of 
pharmaceuticals in liquid form, such as respiratory, ophthalmic and otic products. We are a leader in the outsourced blow-fill-
seal market, and operate one of the largest capacity commercial manufacturing blow-fill-seal facilities in the world. Our sterile 
blow-fill-seal manufacturing has significant capacity and flexibility of manufacturing configurations. This business provides 

42 

 
 
flexible and scalable solutions for unit-dose delivery of complex formulations such as suspensions and emulsions.  Further, the 
business provides engineering and manufacturing solutions related to complex containers. Our regulatory expertise can lead to 
decreased time to commercialization, and our dedicated development production lines support feasibility, stability and clinical 
runs. We plan to continue to expand our product line in existing and new markets, and in higher margin specialty products with 
additional respiratory, ophthalmic, injectable and nasal applications. 

Our fast-growing biologics offerings include our formulation development and cell-line manufacturing based on our 

advanced and patented GPEx technology, which is used to develop stable, high-yielding mammalian cell lines for both 
innovator and biosimilar biologic compounds. Our GPEx technology can provide rapid cell line development, high biologics 
production yields, flexibility and versatility. We believe our development stage SMARTag next-generation antibody-drug 
conjugate technology will provide more precision targeting for delivery of drugs to tumors or other locations, with improved 
safety versus existing technologies. Our biologics facility in Madison, Wisconsin has the capability and capacity to produce 
clinical-scale biologic supplies; combined with offerings from our other businesses and external partners, we provide the 
broadest range of technologies and services supporting the development and launch of new biologic entities, biosimilars or 
biobetters to bring a product from gene to market commercialization, faster. 

We also offer analytical chemical and cell-based testing and scientific services, stability testing, respiratory products 

formulation and manufacturing, micronization and particle engineering services, regulatory consulting, and bioanalytical 
testing for biologic products. Our respiratory product capabilities include development and manufacturing services for inhaled 
products for delivery via metered dose inhalers, dry powder inhalers and intra-nasal sprays. We also provide formulation 
development and clinical and commercial manufacturing for conventional and specialty oral dose forms. We provide global 
regulatory and clinical support services for our customers’ regulatory and clinical strategies during all stages of development. 
Demand for our offerings is driven by the need for scientific expertise and depth and breadth of services offered, as well as by 
the reliable supply thereof, including quality, execution and performance. 

We have thirteen Drug Delivery Solutions manufacturing facilities, including eight in North America and five in Europe. 
Our Drug Delivery Solutions segment represents 43% of the segments' aggregate revenue before inter-segment eliminations for 
fiscal 2016.  

Clinical Supply Services 

Our Clinical Supply Services segment provides manufacturing, packaging, storage and inventory management for drugs 
and biologics in clinical trials. We offer customers flexible solutions for clinical supplies production, and provide distribution 
and inventory management support for both simple and complex clinical trials. This includes dose form manufacturing or over-
encapsulation where needed; supplying placebos, comparator drug procurement and clinical packages and kits for physicians 
and patients; inventory management; investigator kit ordering and fulfillment; and return supply reconciliation and reporting. 
We support trials in all regions of the world through our facilities and distribution network. In fiscal 2016, we commenced an 
expansion of our Singapore facility by building new flexible cGMP space and we introduced clinical supply services at our 
200,000 square foot facility in Japan, expanding our Asia Pacific capabilities.  We completed a site consolidation in pursuit of 
synergies in our Clinical Supply Services segment within our U.K. operations in fiscal 2016. Additionally, in fiscal 2013, we 
established our first clinical supply services facility in China as a joint venture and assumed full ownership in fiscal 2015. We 
are the leading provider of integrated development solutions and one of the leading providers of clinical trial supplies and 
respiratory products.  Representative customers of Clinical Supply Services include Astellas, GlaxoSmithKline, Eli Lilly, 
Merck, Pfizer and Shire. 

We have nine Clinical Supply Service facilities, including two in North America, four in Europe and three in the Asia 

Pacific region. Our Clinical Supply Services segment represents 16% of the segments' aggregate revenue before inter-segment 
eliminations for fiscal 2016.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates 

The following disclosure supplements the descriptions of our accounting policies contained in Note 1 to our Consolidated 

Financial Statements (the “Consolidated Financial Statements”) included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K in 
regard to significant areas of judgment. Management made certain estimates and assumptions during the preparation of the 
Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These estimates and 
assumptions affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the 
Consolidated Financial Statements. These estimates also affect the reported amount of net earnings during the reporting 
periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Because of the size of the financial statement elements to which they 
relate, some of our accounting policies and estimates have a more significant impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements 
than others.  

Management has discussed the development and selection of these critical accounting policies and estimates with the 

audit committee of the board of directors.  A discussion of some of our more significant accounting policies and estimates 
follows. 

Revenues and Expenses 

Net Revenue 

We sell products and services directly to our pharmaceutical, biotechnology and consumer and animal health customers. 
The majority of our business is conducted through supply or development agreements. The majority of our revenue is charged 
on a price-per-unit basis and is recognized either upon shipment or delivery of the product or service. Revenue generated from 
development arrangements are generally priced by project and are recognized either upon completion of the required service or 
achievement of a specified project phase or milestone. 

Our overall net revenue is generally affected by the following factors: 

•  

•  

•  

•  

•  

•  

Changes in the level or timing of research and development activities and sales activities by our customers; 

Fluctuations in overall economic activity within the geographic markets in which we operate;  

Change in the level of competition we face from our competitors;  

New intellectual property we develop and expiration of our patents;  

Changes in prices of our products and services, which are generally relatively stable due to our long-term 
contracts; and  

Fluctuations in exchange rates between foreign currencies, in which a substantial portion of our revenues and 
expenses are denominated, and the U.S. dollar.  

Operating Expenses 

Cost of sales consists of direct costs incurred to manufacture and package products and costs associated with supplying 
other revenue-generating services. Cost of sales includes labor costs for employees involved in the production process and the 
cost of raw materials and components used in the process or product. Cost of sales also includes labor costs of employees 
supporting the production process, such as production management, quality, engineering, and other support services. Other 
costs in this category include the external research and development costs on behalf of our customers, depreciation of fixed 
assets, utility costs, freight, operating lease expenses and other general manufacturing expenses. 

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of all expenditures incurred in connection with the sales and 
marketing of our products, as well as administrative expenses to support our businesses. The category includes salaries and 
related benefit costs of employees supporting our sales and marketing, finance, human resources, information technology and 
legal functions, research and development costs in pursuit of our own proactive development and costs related to executive 

44 

 
management. Other costs in this category include depreciation of fixed assets, amortization of our intangible assets, 
professional fees, and marketing and other expenses to support selling and administrative areas. 

Direct expenses incurred by a segment are included in that segment’s results. Shared sales and marketing, information 

technology services and general administrative costs are allocated to each segment based upon the specific activity being 
performed for each segment or are charged on the basis of the segment’s respective revenues or other applicable measurement. 
Certain corporate expenses are not allocated to the segments. We do not allocate the following costs to the segments: 

•  

•  

•  

•  

•  

•  

Impairment charges and (gain)/loss on sale of assets;  

Equity compensation;  

Restructuring expenses and other special items;  

Sponsor advisory fee and the related termination fee incurred in connection with our initial public offering;  

Noncontrolling interest; and  

Other income/(expense), net.  

Our operating expenses are generally affected by the following factors: 

•  

•  

•  

•  

•  

•  

The utilization rate of our facilities: as our utilization rate increases, we achieve greater economies of scale as 
fixed manufacturing costs are spread over a larger number of units produced;  

Production volumes: as volumes change, the level of resources employed also fluctuate, including raw materials, 
component costs, employment costs and other related expenses, and our utilization rate may also be affected;  

The mix of different products or services that we sell;  

The cost of raw materials, components and general expense;  

Implementation of cost control measures and our ability to effect cost savings through our Operational 
Excellence, Lean Manufacturing and Lean Six Sigma programs; and 

Fluctuations in exchange rates between foreign currencies, in which a substantial portion of our revenues and 
expenses are denominated, and the U.S. dollar.  

Allowance for Inventory Obsolescence 

We write down our inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the 

cost of the inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If 
actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected, additional inventory write-downs may be required resulting in 
a charge to income in the period such determination was made. 

Long-lived and Other Definite-Lived Intangible Assets 

We allocate the cost of an acquired company to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities acquired, 
with the remaining amount being recorded as goodwill. Certain intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful life. 

We assess the impairment of identifiable intangibles if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value 

of the asset may not be recoverable. Factors that we consider important that could trigger an impairment review include the 
following: 

•  

•  

•  

•  

Significant under-performance relative to historical or projected future operating results;  

Significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy of the overall business;  

Significant negative industry or economic trends; and  

Recognition of goodwill impairment charges.  

45 

 
 
If we determine that the carrying value of intangibles and/or long-lived assets may not be recoverable based on the 

existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment, we measure any impairment based on fair value, which we 
derive either by the estimated cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition or on 
assumptions we believe marketplace participants would utilize and comparable marketplace information in similar arm’s length 
transactions. We then compare weighted values to the asset’s carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognized would 
represent the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its estimated fair value. Significant estimates and judgments are required 
when estimating such fair values. If it is determined that assets are impaired, an impairment charge would be recorded and the 
amount could be material. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.  

Goodwill 

We account for purchased goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives in accordance with Accounting Standard 

Codification (“ASC”) 350 Goodwill, Intangible and Other Assets. Under ASC 350, goodwill and intangible assets with 
indefinite lives are tested for impairment at least annually utilizing both qualitative and quantitative assessments. Our annual 
goodwill impairment test was conducted as of April 1, 2016. We assess goodwill for possible impairment by comparing the 
carrying value of our reporting units to their fair values. We determine the fair value of our reporting units utilizing estimated 
future discounted cash flows and incorporate assumptions that we believe marketplace participants would utilize. In addition, 
we use comparative market information and other factors to corroborate the discounted cash flow results. No reporting units 
were at risk of failing step one in the goodwill impairment test under the provisions of ASC 350 as of April 1, 2016. See Note 3 
to the Consolidated Financial Statements.  

Income Taxes 

In accordance with ASC 740 Income Taxes, we account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. The asset 

and liability method requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for expected future tax consequences of 
temporary differences that currently exist between tax bases and financial reporting bases of our assets and liabilities. Deferred 
tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in the respective jurisdictions in which we operate.  Deferred 
taxes are not provided on the undistributed earnings of subsidiaries outside of the United States when it is expected that these 
earnings will be permanently reinvested. We have not made any provision for U.S. income taxes on the undistributed earnings 
of foreign subsidiaries as those earnings are considered permanently reinvested in the operations of those foreign subsidiaries. 

We had valuation allowances of $69.9 million and $82.4 million as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, against our 

deferred tax assets.  We considered all available evidence, both positive and negative, in assessing the need for a valuation 
allowance for deferred tax assets. We evaluated three possible sources of taxable income when assessing the realization of 
deferred tax assets:  

•  

•  

•  

Future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences;  

Tax planning strategies; and 

Future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards. 

We considered the need to maintain a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets based on management’s assessment of 

whether it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets would be realized based on future reversals of existing taxable 
temporary differences and the ability to generate sufficient taxable income within the carryforward period available under the 
applicable tax law. The deferred tax liabilities are expected to reverse in the same period and jurisdiction and are of the same 
character as the temporary differences giving rise to a portion of the deferred tax assets. 

During the year ended June 30, 2015, we released the majority of our U.S. federal valuation allowance of $136.7 million 

based on projected U.S. future earnings in excess of the $294.1 million required to realize its net U.S. federal deferred tax 
assets. Of the $294.1 million, $329.5 million relates to the federal net operating loss carryforward (NOL), which expires in the 
years 2028 to 2032. The remaining $35.4 million related to other net deferred tax liabilities. 

The reversal of the valuation allowance was the result of a continuing trend of U.S. taxable income and the expectation 
that this trend will continue, rather than relying on tax planning strategies to support the realization of deferred tax assets. We 

46 

 
 
 
had experienced three consecutive years of positive U.S. taxable earnings as of June 30, 2015 and expect to sustain this position 
in the future, due to the positive impact on U.S. earnings from reduced interest expense resulting from a reduction in our 
external debt, among other factors. 

While the U.S. federal valuation allowance was reversed, the U.S. state valuation allowance on $375.7 million of 
apportioned state net operating losses was maintained. Due to uncertainty around earnings, apportionment, certain restrictions 
at the state level, and the history of tax losses, anticipated utilization rates were not sufficient to overcome the negative 
evidence and allow a release. 

ASC 740 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. We recognized no material adjustment in the liability for unrecognized income tax benefits. 

The calculation of our income tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex domestic 
and foreign income tax regulations. Unrecognized tax benefits are generated when there are differences between tax positions 
taken in a tax return and amounts recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Tax benefits are recognized in the 
Consolidated Financial Statements when it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination.  To 
the extent we prevail in matters for which liabilities have been established, or are required to pay amounts in excess of our 
liabilities, our effective income tax rate in a given period could be materially affected.  An unfavorable income tax settlement 
may require the use of cash and result in an increase in our effective income tax rate in the year it is resolved. A favorable 
income tax settlement would be recognized as a reduction in the effective income tax rate in the year of resolution. At June 30, 
2016 and 2015, we recorded unrecognized tax benefits and related interest and penalties of $67.1 million and $73.2 million, 
respectively.  

The anticipated future trends included in our assessment of the realizability of our deferred tax assets are the same 

assumptions and anticipated future trends that were incorporated into the estimated fair value of our reporting units for 
purposes of testing goodwill for impairment. Such assumptions and anticipated future trends were also incorporated into other 
assessments of our tangible and intangible assets for impairment, as applicable. We are not currently relying on any tax-
planning strategy to support the realization of deferred tax assets. 

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, we adopted Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") 2015-17 Balance Sheet 
Classification of Deferred Taxes, which requires that all deferred tax assets and liabilities, along with any related valuation 
allowance, be classified as noncurent on the balance sheet and applied its provisions prospectively without retrospective 
adjustment. 

Also, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, we adopted ASU 2016-09 Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment 

Accounting, which requires all excess tax benefits and deficiencies to be recognized in income tax expense or benefit in 
earnings and applied its provision on a modified retrospective basis. Accordingly, we recognized the previously unrecognized 
excess tax benefits, which resulted in a cumulative-effect tax benefit adjustment of $19.9 million recorded as part of 
accumulated deficit, with the tax effects recorded as deferred tax assets at the beginning of the 2016 fiscal year. 

New Accounting Pronouncements 

Refer to Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of recent accounting pronouncements. 

Factors Affecting our Performance 

Fluctuations in Operating Results 

Our financial reporting periods operate on a June 30 fiscal year end. Our revenue and net earnings are generally higher in 

our third and fourth quarters of each fiscal year. These fluctuations are primarily the result of the timing of our, and our 
customers’, annual operational maintenance periods at locations in continental Europe and the United Kingdom, the seasonality 
associated with pharmaceutical and biotechnology budgetary spending decisions, clinical trial and research and development 
schedules and, to a lesser extent, the time of the year some of our customers’ products are in higher demand. 

47 

 
 
Acquisition and Related Integration Efforts 

Our growth and profitability are affected by the acquisitions we are able to complete and the speed at which we integrate 

those acquisitions into our existing operating platforms. Since January 1, 2012, we have completed nine acquisitions, the 
largest of which was the February 2012 purchase of the Aptuit CTS business. Since that acquisition, we consolidated three 
operations including one in December 2012, December 2013 and June 2016, respectively. In February 2012, we acquired the 
remaining 49% ownership interest in our German softgel joint venture.  We commenced two joint ventures in China in fiscal 
2013 and 2014, and completed the acquisition of the partner’s interest in one venture in fiscal 2015 and the other venture in 
fiscal 2016.  We purchased a softgel operation in Brazil in fiscal 2014 and have integrated it into our softgel business.  Further, 
in October 2014, the Company acquired the remaining shares of Redwood Bioscience Inc. (“Redwood”) and its SMARTag 
ADC technology platform.  The acquired business is based in the U.S. and is included in the Drug Delivery Solutions segment.  
Additionally, in November 2014, the Company acquired 100% of the shares of MTI Pharma Solutions, Inc. (“Micron 
Technologies”), a company specializing in particle size reduction (micronization), milling and analytical contract services.  The 
acquired business is based in the U.S. and the U.K. and is included in the Drug Delivery Solutions segment.  

Foreign Exchange Rates 

Significant portions of our revenues and costs are affected by changes in foreign exchange rates. Our operating network 

is global and, as a result, our revenues and operating expenses are influenced by changes in foreign exchange rates. In fiscal 
2016, approximately 54% of our revenue was generated from our operations outside the United States. Much of the revenue 
generated outside the United States and many of the expenses associated with our operations outside the United States are 
denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, particularly the British pound, the euro, the Brazilian real, the Argentine 
peso, the Japanese yen and the Australian dollar. Changes in those currencies relative to the U.S. dollar will affect our revenues 
and expenses. 

Trends Affecting Our Business 

Industry 

We participate in nearly every sector of the $900 billion annual revenue global pharmaceutical industry, including but not 

limited to the prescription drug and biologic sectors as well as consumer health, which includes the over-the-counter and 
vitamins and nutritional supplement sectors, and animal health. Innovative pharmaceuticals continue to play a critical role in 
the global market, while generic drug share is increasing in both developed and developing markets. Sustained developed 
market demand and rapid growth in emerging economies is driving the consumer health product growth rate to more than 
double that for pharmaceuticals. Payors, both public and private, have sought to limit the economic impact of such demand 
through greater use of generic drugs, access and spending controls and health technology assessment techniques, favoring 
products that deliver truly differentiated outcomes. 

New Molecule Development and R&D Sourcing 

Continued strengthening in early-stage development pipelines for drugs and biologics, compounded by increasing clinical 

trial breadth and complexity, sustain our belief in the attractive growth prospects for development solutions. Large companies 
are in many cases reconfiguring their R&D resources, increasingly involving the appointment of strategic partners for 
important outsourced functions. Additionally, an increasing portion of compounds in development are from companies that do 
not have full R&D infrastructure, and thus are more likely to need strategic development solutions partners. 

Demographics 

Aging population demographics in developed countries, combined with health care reforms in many global markets that 
are expanding access to treatments to a greater proportion of their populations, will continue to drive increases in demand for 
both pharmaceutical and consumer health products. Increasing economic affluence in developing regions will further increase 
demand for healthcare treatments, and we are taking active steps to allow us to participate effectively in these growth regions 
and product categories. 

48 

 
Finally, we believe the market access and payor pressures our customers face, global supply chain complexity, and the 
increasing demand for improved treatments will continue to escalate the need for product differentiation, improved outcomes 
and treatment cost reduction, all of which can often be addressed using our advanced delivery technologies. 

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, which is further adjusted for the income or loss 
attributable to noncontrolling interests (“EBITDA from continuing operations”). EBITDA from continuing operations is not 
defined under U.S. GAAP and is not a measure of operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in 
accordance with U.S. 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 and use this measure for business 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 disclosing 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 the 
Consolidated Financial Statements, and such information is not meant to replace or supersede U.S. GAAP measures. Our 
definition of EBITDA from continuing operations may not be the same as similarly titled measures used by other companies. 

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 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we calculate 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 U.S. 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 U.S. GAAP.

Net revenue increased by $112.7 million, or 6%, as compared to the twelve months ended June 30, 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 driven by higher end market volume 
demand for consumer health products using our softgel offering, increased sales volume across our Drug Delivery Solutions 
segment platforms and increased comparator sourcing volume and increased sales volume related to storage and distribution 
revenue within our Clinical Supply Services segment.  Revenue increases were partially offset by a decrease in volume as a 
result of the temporary suspension of operations at our softgel manufacturing facility in Beinheim, France, which occurred 
between November 2015 and April 2016. 

Gross Margin 

Gross margin decreased by $1.4 million, as compared to the twelve months ended June 30, 2015, excluding the impact of 

foreign exchange.  The decrease in gross margin was primarily driven by lower volumes resulting in reduced end customer 
demand of certain higher margin offerings within our Drug Delivery Solutions segment and decreased revenue resulting from 
the temporary suspension of operations at our softgel manufacturing facility in Beinheim, France during the period within our 
Softgel Technologies segment, partially offset by higher sales volumes across all three segments and more effective absorption 
of fixed costs through higher capacity utilization within our Softgel Technologies segment.  On a constant currency basis, gross 
margin, as a percentage of revenue, decreased 200 basis points to 31.6% in the twelve months ended June 30, 2016 as 
compared to the prior year primarily driven by an unfavorable shift in revenue mix in our Drug Delivery Solutions segment and 
in our Clinical Supply Services segment.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense 

Selling, general and administrative expense increased by $30.3 million, or 9%, as compared to the twelve months ended 

June 30, 2015, excluding the impact of foreign exchange, primarily due to incremental employee compensation costs of 
approximately $13 million, inclusive of certain severance payments, inflationary increases and an increase in our non-cash 
equity compensation plans 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 expense also increased due to acquisition-related transaction costs of 
approximately $5 million, and increased costs of approximately $6 million related to the temporary suspension of operations at 
our softgel manufacturing facility in Beinheim, France from November 2015 to April 2016.  Selling, general and administrative 
expense increased approximately $5 million because of entities we acquired during the prior year.   

Restructuring and Other 

Restructuring and other charges of $9.0 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2016 decreased by $4.4 million, or 

33%, compared to the twelve months ended June 30, 2015.   The twelve months ended June 30, 2016 included restructuring 
activities enacted to improve cost efficiency, including employee severance expenses and costs related to a site consolidation in 
pursuit of synergies in our Clinical Supply Services segment within our U.K. operations.  The prior period charges included 
restructuring initiatives enacted to improve cost efficiency at sites across our global network.  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. 

Interest Expense, net 

Interest expense, net, of $88.5 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2016 decreased by $16.5 million, or 16%, 
compared to the twelve months ended June 30, 2015, primarily driven by lower levels of outstanding debt as compared to the 
prior year.  We redeemed $350 million of Senior Notes due 2018 (the "Senior Notes") and $275 million of Senior Subordinated 
Notes due 2017 (the "Senior Subordinated Notes") on August 28, 2014 and September 4, 2014, respectively. In addition, we 
reduced an aggregate of $234.5 million of outstanding borrowings under an unsecured term loan during the first quarter of 
fiscal 2015, partially offset by incremental borrowings of $191 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2015 in support of 
completed acquisitions.  The funds utilized to reduce our debt levels were generated by proceeds from our IPO, which was 
completed during the first quarter of fiscal 2015.  

Other (Income)/Expense, net 

Other income, net of $15.6 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2016 was primarily driven by non-cash net 

gains from foreign exchange translation recorded during the period plus earnings from our available for sale investments 
related to our deferred compensation plans.  Other expense, net of $42.4 million in the twelve months ended June 30, 2015 was 
primarily driven by a sponsor advisory fee agreement termination fee of $29.8 million, which we agreed to pay in connection 
with our IPO. In addition, we incurred $21.8 million of expense in fiscal 2015 associated with the early redemption of our 
Senior Notes and pre-payment of an unsecured term loan, of which $9.8 million was a cash expense.  Offsetting these other 
expense items were non-recurring non-cash purchase accounting gains, net, of $8.9 million related to acquisitions completed 
during the period and $2.4 million of non-cash net gains associated with foreign exchange.  

Provision/(Benefit) for Income Taxes 

Our provision for income taxes for the twelve months ended June 30, 2016 was $33.7 million relative to earnings before 

income taxes of $144.9 million. Our benefit for income taxes for the twelve months ended June 30, 2015 was $97.7 million 
relative to earnings before income taxes of $112.5 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 June 30, 2016 
reflects the release of the U.S. federal valuation allowance and an increase in a tax reserve related to an adjustment to inter-
company interest income in Germany, partially offset by a corresponding deduction in the United Kingdom.

Softgel Technologies’ net revenue increased $55.7 million, or 7%, excluding the impact of foreign exchange.  The 
primary driver was higher end market volume demand for lower margin consumer health products using our softgel offering 
primarily in Asia Pacific. Partially offsetting the segment's increased revenue was a decrease in volume of prescription products 
of approximately $35 million primarily in Europe due to the temporary suspension of operations at our facility in Beinheim, 
France, which occurred between November 2015 and April 2016.  See below for further discussion. 

 Softgel Technologies’ Segment EBITDA increased by $6.1 million, or 4%, as compared to the twelve months ended June 
30, 2015, excluding the impact of foreign exchange. The increase was primarily driven by increased sales volumes of our lower 
margin consumer health products and more effective absorption of fixed costs through higher capacity utilization, partially 
offset by the temporary suspension of operations at our facility in Beinheim, France resulting in a decrease of approximately 
$32 million.  See below for further discussion. 

On November 13, 2015, the primary French drug regulatory agency (the “ANSM”) issued an order temporarily 
suspending operations at our softgel manufacturing facility in Beinheim, France, which was lifted on April 28, 2016. The 
suspension order permitted the facility to apply for exemptions for certain types of operations. Due to the temporary 
suspension, we were unable to use certain raw materials, work in process and finished goods and took a charge of $1.0 million 
in fiscal 2016 in connection with such loss of use. We recorded remediation associated costs of $6.0 million in the same period. 
Further, certain customers of the facility have presented claims against us for losses they have allegedly suffered due to the 
temporary suspension or have reserved their right to do so subsequently. We are unable to estimate at this time either the total 
value of these claims or the likely cost to resolve them. Changes to the operations at the facility to address the issues leading to 
the suspension have increased and may in the future additionally increase the cost and therefore decrease the profitability of its 
operation.

Net revenue in our Drug Delivery Solutions segment increased by $28.5 million, or 4%, as compared to the twelve 

months ended June 30, 2015, excluding the impact of foreign exchange.  Net revenue increased approximately 3% from our 
analytical services platform driven by increased sales volumes related to fee for service development work and analytical 
testing in the U.S.  Net revenue also increased approximately 2% as a result of increased volume from our biologics offerings 
and increased volume of products utilizing our blow-fill-seal technology platform of approximately 1%.  Offsetting revenue 
was decreased volumes from our oral delivery solutions platform of 3% due to reduced end customer volume demand for 
certain higher margin offerings primarily in our U.S. operations and lower revenue from product participation related activities.  
Finally, net revenue increased approximately 1% as a result of the Micron Technologies acquisition completed during the 
second quarter of fiscal 2015. 

Drug Delivery Solutions’ Segment EBITDA decreased by $10.3 million, or 4%, as compared to the twelve months ended 

June 30, 2015, excluding the impact of foreign exchange, primarily due to lower volumes driven by reduced end customer 
demand of certain higher margin offerings and lower absorption of fixed manufacturing costs within our oral delivery solutions 
platform, partially offset by increased profit generated by our biologics offering and from products utilizing our blow-fill-seal 
technology platform.

Clinical Supply Services’ Segment EBITDA decreased by $1.1 million, or 2%, excluding the impact of foreign exchange,

Net Revenue 

Net revenue increased by $121.0 million, or 7%, as compared to the twelve months ended June 30, 2014, excluding the 
impact of foreign exchange.  The increase in net revenue was driven primarily by increased volume within our integrated oral 
solids development and manufacturing capabilities, higher revenue from product participation related activities and increased 
volume from our biologics offerings within our Drug Delivery Solutions segment. 

Gross Margin 

Gross margin increased by $52.4 million, or 9%, as compared to the twelve months ended June 30, 2014, excluding the 
impact of foreign exchange.  On a constant currency basis, gross margin, as a percentage of revenue, increased 60 basis points 
to 33.4% in the twelve months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to 32.8% in the prior year.  The increase in gross margin was 
primarily due to increased sales across three reportable segments and a favorable shift in revenue mix within our Drug Delivery 
Solutions segment.  The increase in gross margin was partially offset by an unfavorable product mix from our softgel offering 
within our Softgel Technologies segment. 

Selling, General and Administrative Expense 

Selling, general and administrative expense increased by $13.5 million, or 4%, as compared to the twelve months ended 

June 30, 2014, excluding the impact of foreign exchange, primarily due to $12 million of incremental expense related to 
entities we acquired during the year.  The $12 million was primarily comprised of non-cash depreciation and amortization 
expense of $7 million, integration costs of $4 million, and employee compensation costs of $1 million.  In addition, selling, 
general and administrative expense increased $4.5 million related to our non-cash equity compensation plans as a result of a 
change from a cash-based long-term incentive plan to an equity-based long-term incentive plan.  These costs were partially 

55 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
offset by a $12.9 million reduction in expense due to the elimination of the recurring sponsor advisory fee agreement as a result 
of our IPO during the first quarter of fiscal 2015. 

 Restructuring and Other 

Restructuring and other charges of $13.4 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2015 decreased by $6.3 million, 
or 32%, compared to the twelve months ended June 30, 2014. The twelve months ended June 30, 2015 included restructuring 
initiatives enacted to improve cost efficiency primarily related to employee severance expenses.  The prior period charges 
included restructuring initiatives across several of our operations enacted to improve cost efficiency, including site 
consolidation in pursuit of synergies related to the Aptuit CTS acquisition and employee-related severance expenses during the 
twelve months ended June 30, 2014. 

Interest Expense, net 

Interest expense, net, of $105.0 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2015 decreased by $58.1 million, or 36%, 
compared to the twelve months ended June 30, 2014, primarily driven by lower levels of outstanding debt as compared to the 
prior year.  The Company redeemed $350 million of Senior Notes and $275 million of Senior Subordinated Notes on August 
28, 2014 and September 4, 2014, respectively. In addition, we reduced an aggregate of $234.5 million of outstanding 
borrowings under an unsecured term loan during the first quarter of fiscal 2015.  The funds utilized to reduce our debt levels 
were generated by proceeds from our IPO, which was completed during the first quarter of fiscal 2015. The decrease in interest 
expense, net was partially offset by incremental borrowings of $191 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2015 in support 
of acquisitions. 

Other (Income)/Expense, net 

Other expense, net of $42.4 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2015 increased from $10.4 million in the 
twelve months ended June 30, 2014.  The increase was primarily driven by a sponsor advisory fee agreement termination fee of 
$29.8 million, which we agreed to pay in connection with our IPO. In addition, we incurred $21.8 million of expense associated 
with the early redemption of our Senior Notes and pre-payment of an unsecured term loan in fiscal 2015, of which $9.8 million 
was a cash expense.  Offsetting these other expense items were non-recurring non-cash purchase accounting gains, net, of 
approximately $8.9 million related to acquisitions completed during the period and $2.4 million of non-cash net gains 
associated with foreign exchange.  Other expense, net for the twelve months ended June 30, 2014, was primarily driven by 
expenses of approximately $11 million related to the May 2014 refinancing of our Senior Secured Credit Facility and the write 
off of unamortized deferred financing fees. Also included were non-cash unrealized gains related to foreign currency 
translation, partially offset by realized losses related to foreign currency translation. 

Provision/(Benefit) for Income Taxes 

Our benefit for income taxes for the twelve months ended June 30, 2015 was $97.7 million relative to earnings before 

income taxes of $112.5 million. Our provision for income taxes for the twelve months ended June 30, 2014 was $49.5 million 
relative to earnings before income taxes of $67.4 million. The income tax benefit 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 June 30, 2015 
reflects the release of the U.S. federal valuation allowance and an increase in a tax reserve related to an adjustment to inter-
company interest income in Germany, partially offset by a corresponding deduction in the United Kingdom.

Net Revenue in our Softgel Technologies segment increased by $13.6 million or 2%, as compared to the twelve months 

ended June 30, 2014, excluding the impact of foreign exchange, primarily driven by higher end market volume demand for 
lower margin consumer health products primarily in Latin America and Asia Pacific, partially offset by decreased consumer 
health product volume in Europe.  Profit participation related activities decreased by approximately $6.0 million. 

 Softgel Technologies’ Segment EBITDA decreased by $18.6 million, or 9%, as compared to the twelve months ended 

June 30, 2014, excluding the impact of foreign exchange, primarily due to a shift to lower-margin consumer health product 
within our offering mix.

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

Overview 

Our principal source of liquidity has been cash flow generated from operations. The principal uses of cash are to fund 

planned operating and capital expenditures, business or asset acquisitions and any mandatory or discretionary principal 
payments on our debt. As of June 30, 2016, our financing needs were supported by a five-year $200 million revolving credit 
facility that matures in May 2019 and is reduced by $13.9 million in letters of credit. The revolving credit facility includes 
borrowing capacity available for letters of credit and for short-term borrowings, referred to as swing-line borrowings. As of 
June 30, 2016, we had no outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility.   

We continue to believe that our cash from operations and available borrowings under the revolving credit facility will be 

adequate to meet our future liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months. We have no significant debt maturity until the 
senior secured term loans mature in May 2021.

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $155.3 

million compared to $171.7 million for the comparable prior-year period. The decrease of $16.4 million was primarily driven 
by net cash outflows associated with working capital changes in the current period compared to the previous period.  

Investing Activities 

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, cash used in investing activities from continuing operations was $137.7 million, 
which is primarily related to acquisitions of property, plant and equipment of $139.6 million. Cash used in investing activities 
from continuing operations for the comparable prior-year period was $271.8 million, which consisted of acquisition of 
property, plant and equipment and intangible asset additions of $141.0 million and $130.8 million for business acquisition 
activities. In the prior-year period, we acquired the remaining interest in Redwood and purchased the stock of MTI Pharma 
Solutions, Inc. (Micron Technologies).  

Financing Activities 

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, cash used in financing activities was $30.8 million compared to cash provided by 

financing activities of $196.5 million in the same period a year ago. The current year activity includes $18.6 million of long-
term debt payments as well as $8.7 million paid for minimum tax withholding obligations associated with equity award 
settlements. Additionally, we closed on the purchase of the redeemable non-controlling interest in the softgel manufacturing 
facility in Haining, China from the non-controlling interest shareholders, at a purchase price of $5.8 million in the second 
quarter. In the prior year, the net proceeds raised in connection with our IPO of $948.8 million were primarily used to fund debt 
payments of $863.8 million. In addition, the prior year period activities included $150.4 million of net proceeds from 
borrowing on our secured term loan facilities pursuant to Amendment No. 1 to our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

Operating Activities 

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $171.7 

million compared to $180.2 million for the fiscal year 2014 period. Cash provided by operating activities decreased compared 
to the same period in fiscal year 2014 by $8.5 million driven by net cash outflows associated with working capital changes 
compared to the previous period. These cash outflows were offset by higher earnings from continuing operations in the fiscal 
year ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the year ended June 30, 2014, which benefited from lower interest expense in the 
fiscal year 2015 as a result of paying down high-interest debt with proceeds from the IPO. 

Investing Activities 

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, cash used in investing activities from continuing operations was $271.8 million, 

which primarily related to acquisitions of property, plant and equipment of $138.2 million, intangible asset additions of $2.8 
million, and business acquisitions of $130.8 million. We acquired the remaining interest in Redwood and purchased the stock of 
MTI Pharma Solutions, Inc. (Micron Technologies). Cash used in investing activities from continuing operations for the fiscal 
year 2014 period was $175.2 million, which was primarily related to the acquisition of property, plant and equipment of $122.4 
million and $53.7 million for business acquisition activities, including the purchases of a softgel manufacturing business in 
Brazil and a 67% controlling interest in a softgel manufacturing facility located in Haining, China. 

Financing Activities 

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, cash provided by financing activities was $196.5 million compared to cash used 

in financing activities of $42.1 million in the same period a year ago. The net proceeds raised in connection with our IPO of 
$948.8 million were primarily used to fund debt payments of $863.8 million in fiscal year 2015. The activities as of June 30, 
2015, also included $12.6 million of call premiums paid in connection with the early termination of certain debt instruments in 
the period. Additionally, on December 1, 2014, we entered into Amendment No. 1 to our Amended and Restated Credit 
Agreement to provide additional senior secured financing of incremental dollar and euro-denominated term loan facilities of 
$100 million and €72.8 million ($91 million), respectively. The proceeds of the borrowing were primarily used to pay the 
remaining $40.5 million outstanding on the unsecured term loans, fund acquisitions completed in the second quarter of $111.6 
million and for general corporate purposes. Although we completed two secondary offerings of our common stock during fiscal 
2015, we did not sell shares of our common stock in these offerings and did not receive any of the proceeds. 

Debt and Financing Arrangements 

Senior Secured Credit Facilities 

On May 20, 2014, we entered into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the "Credit Agreement") to 
provide senior secured financing consisting of a seven-year $1,400.0 million term loan (the “Dollar Term Loan”), a seven-year 
€250.0 million term loan (together with the Dollar Term Loan, the "Term Loan Facilities") and a five-year $200 million 
revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility"), the proceeds of which were used to prepay in full all outstanding all 
term loans under our previous senior secured facility. The Revolving Credit Facility replaced a prior revolving credit facility 
and includes borrowing capacity available for letters of credit and for short-term borrowings, referred to as the swing line 
borrowings. Borrowings under the Term Loan Facilities and the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest, at our 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 1/2 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 Loan Facilities and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility may be reduced if we attain 
a certain total net leverage ratio. The applicable margin for borrowings is 3.50% for loans based on a LIBOR rate and 2.50% 
for loans based on the base rate. The LIBOR rate for the Term Loan Facilities is subject to a floor of 1.00% and the base rate for 
the Term Loan Facilities is subject to a floor of 2.00%. 

On December 1, 2014, we entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement to provide additional senior secured 

financing of incremental Dollar and Euro denominated term loan facilities of $100 million and €72.8 million ($91 million), 

61 

 
 
respectively. The incremental term loans have substantially similar terms as the Term Loan Facilities under the original version 
of the Credit Agreement. The proceeds of the borrowing were used during fiscal 2015 primarily to pay the remaining $40.5 
million outstanding on unsecured term loans under the senior unsecured term loan facility entered into on April 29, 2013, fund 
acquisitions completed in the second quarter of $111.6 million and general corporate purposes. 

 As of June 30, 2016, there were $13.9 million in outstanding letters of credit, which reduced the borrowing capacity 

under the Revolving Credit Facility. 

Redemption of Notes and Unsecured Term Loan Prepayment 

On July 29, 2014, we provided notice of our election to redeem the entire $350.0 million aggregate principal amount 
outstanding the Senior Notes and redeemed them on August 28, 2014 at a redemption price of 101.5% of their principal amount 
plus accrued and unpaid interest.  The redemption was funded with proceeds from the IPO. 

 On August 5, 2014, we provided notice of our election to redeem the entire €225.0 million aggregate principal amount 
outstanding of 9.75% senior subordinated notes due 2017 and redeemed them on September 4, 2014 at a redemption price of 
101.625% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.  The redemption was funded with proceeds from the IPO. 

On August 6, 2014, we repaid $114.5 million of the then outstanding borrowings under unsecured term loans with 
proceeds from the IPO.  On September 12, 2014, we repaid $120.0 million of the outstanding borrowings under the unsecured 
term loans with proceeds from the additional shares purchased by the representatives of the underwriters in connection with the 
IPO.  On December 1, 2014, we repaid the remaining $40.5 million then outstanding on the unsecured term loans with proceeds 
from the incremental Term Loan Facilities. 

Guarantees and Security 

All obligations under the Credit Agreement, and the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by substantially all of the 

following assets of the 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.  

Debt Covenants 

The Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, our 
(and our 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; engage in certain 
transactions with affiliates; make investments, loans or advances; make certain acquisitions; enter into sale and leaseback 
transactions and change our 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 June 30, 2016, we were in compliance with all material covenants related to our long-term 
debt 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. 

62 

 
 
 
 
Liquidity in Foreign Subsidiaries 

As of June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015, the amounts of cash and cash equivalents held by foreign subsidiaries were 

$129.1 million and $116.3 million, respectively, out of the total consolidated cash and cash equivalents of $131.6 million and 
$151.3 million, respectively.  We believe that the amount of funds held by foreign subsidiaries as of such dates not readily 
convertible into other foreign currencies, including U.S. dollars, was $5.9 million and $1.7 million, respectively.  As of June 30, 
2016, there is an additional $7.0 million of highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities greater than three 
months but less than one year, held by a foreign subsidiary, which are classified as other current assets. Based on our domestic 
cash flows from operations and our other sources of liquidity, we believe we have sufficient access to funds for our expected 
future domestic liquidity needs. 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. 

Historical and Adjusted EBITDA 

Under the Credit Agreement, the ability of the Operating Company 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 a covenant compliance 
measure in our Credit Agreement, particularly those covenants governing debt incurrence and restricted payments.  Adjusted 
EBITDA is not defined under U.S. GAAP and is subject to important limitations. Because not all companies use identical 
calculations, our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other 
companies. 

The measure under U.S. GAAP most directly comparable to EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA 

is earnings/(loss) from continuing operations. In calculating Adjusted EBITDA, we add back certain non-cash, non-recurring 
and other items that are included in the definitions of EBITDA from continuing operations and consolidated net income, as 
required in the Credit Agreement. Adjusted EBITDA, among other things: 

•   does not include non-cash stock-based employee compensation expense and certain other non-cash charges; 

•   does not include cash and non-cash restructuring, severance and relocation costs incurred to realize future cost 

savings and enhance our operations; 

•  

adds back noncontrolling interest expense, which represents minority investors’ ownership of certain of our 
consolidated subsidiaries and is, therefore, not available to us; and 

•  

includes estimated cost savings that have not yet been fully reflected in our results.

termination expenses incurred in connection with the repayment of debt with the net proceeds of the IPO.  See 
footnote 4 below for an additional $29.8 million of IPO-related costs, totaling $50.4 million. 

(3)  Foreign exchange gain of $10.5 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2016 included $16.3 million of 

unrealized foreign currency exchange rate gains primarily driven by gains of $9.0 million related to inter-company 
loans denominated in a currency different from the functional currency of either the borrower or the lender, partially 
offset by foreign currency exchange gains of $3.8 million driven by the ineffective portion of the net investment hedge 
related to the Euro-denominated debt.  The foreign exchange adjustment was also affected by the exclusion of realized 
foreign currency exchange rate losses from the non-cash and cash settlement of inter-company loans of $5.8 million. 
Inter-company loans are between our entities and do not reflect the ongoing results of the Company’s trade operations.  

Foreign exchange gain of $2.7 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2015 included $16.4 million of 
unrealized foreign currency exchange rate gains primarily driven by losses of $31.4 million related to inter-company 
loans denominated in a currency different from the functional currency of either the borrower or the lender, partially 
offset by foreign currency exchange gains of $47.8 million driven by the ineffective portion of the net investment 
hedge related to the Euro-denominated debt.  The foreign exchange adjustment was also affected by the exclusion of 
realized foreign currency exchange rate losses from the non-cash and cash settlement of inter-company loans of $13.7 
million. Inter-company loans are between our entities and do not reflect the ongoing results of the company’s trade 
operations.

(4)  Other Adjustments for the twelve months ended June 30, 2015 includes $29.8 million for a sponsor advisory 

agreement termination fee paid in connection with the IPO.  See footnote 2 above for an additional $20.6 million of 
IPO-related costs, totaling $50.4 million. 

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 June 30, 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 foreign 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 June 30, 2016, we had $345.2 million of euro-
denominated debt outstanding that qualifies as a hedge of a net investment in foreign operations.  Refer to Note 8 to our 
Consolidated Financial Statements 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.

provisions; and approximate timing of the transaction. Purchase obligations disclosed above may include estimates of 
the time period in which cash outflows will occur. Purchase orders entered into in the normal course of business and 
authorizations to purchase that involve no firm commitment from either party are excluded from the above table. In 
addition, contracts that can be unilaterally canceled with no termination fee or with proper notice are excluded from 
our total purchase obligations except for the amount of the termination fee or the minimum amount of goods that must

we are not required to make contributions to our plans to satisfy regulatory funding standards.  Beyond fiscal 2017, the actual 
amounts required to be contributed are dependent upon, among other things, interest rates, underlying asset returns and the 
impact of legislative or regulatory actions related to pension funding obligations.  Payments due under our OPEB plans are not 
required to be funded in advance, but are paid as medical costs are incurred by covered retiree populations, and are principally 
dependent upon the future cost of retiree medical benefits under our plans.  Refer to Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial 
Statements for further discussion. 

The table also excludes approximately $11.0 million of funded deferred compensation payments owed as of June 30, 
2016 to certain employees participating in our deferred compensation plan.  The timing and amount of payments for these 
obligations are dependent on employee directed distributions, withdrawals and employment status.  As part of the deferred 
compensation plan, we have a corresponding $11.1 million of deferred compensation investments as of June 30, 2016, which 
will be used to fund future obligations to the participating employees.   

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements 

Other than operating leases and letters of credit under the senior secured credit facility, we do not have any material off-

balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2016.  See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further detail.

ITEM 7A.  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 June 30, 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 effective cash flow hedges 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 divisions 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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm 

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of 
Catalent, Inc. 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Catalent, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, 
and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income/(loss), changes in shareholders’ equity/(deficit), 
and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2016.  Our audits also included the financial statement 
schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a)(2).  These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s 
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.  

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial 
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and 
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates 
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a 
reasonable basis for our opinion. 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial 
position of Catalent, Inc. and subsidiaries at June 30, 2016 and 2015, and the consolidated results of their operations and their 
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2016, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting 
principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial 
statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.  

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, Catalent, Inc. changed the classification of all deferred tax 
assets and liabilities to noncurrent on the consolidated balance sheet as a result of the adoption of the amendments to the FASB 
Accounting Standards Codification resulting from Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-17, “Balance Sheet Classification of 
Deferred Taxes”, effective June 30, 2016 and the Company changed its recognition of excess tax benefits and forfeiture of 
share-based awards as a result of the adoption of the amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification resulting 
from Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”, effective 
June 30, 2016.  

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), 
Catalent, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2016, based on criteria established in Internal Control-
Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), 
and our report dated August 29, 2016 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm 

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of 
Catalent, Inc. 

We have audited Catalent, Inc. and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2016 based on criteria 
established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway 
Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). Catalent, Inc. and subsidiaries’ management is responsible for maintaining 
effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial 
reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our 
responsibility is to express an opinion on the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.  

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal 
control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of 
internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and 
operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk and performing such other procedures as we considered 
necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the 
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally 
accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures 
that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and 
dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit 
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and 
expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the 
company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or 
disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect and correct 
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may 
become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may 
deteriorate. 

In our opinion, Catalent, Inc. and subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial 
reporting as of June 30, 2016, based on the COSO criteria. 

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), 
the consolidated balance sheets of Catalent, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated 
statements of operations, comprehensive income/(loss), changes in shareholders’ equity/(deficit), and cash flows for each of the 
three years in the period ended June 30, 2016 of Catalent, Inc. and subsidiaries and our report dated August 29, 2016 expressed 
an unqualified opinion thereon.

Notes to 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. (the “Operating Company”).  The 
financial results of Catalent are primarily comprised of the financial results of the Operating Company and its subsidiaries on a 
consolidated basis. 

In July 2014, the Company’s board of directors and holders of the requisite number of outstanding shares of its capital stock 

approved an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to effect a 70-for-1 stock split of its 
outstanding common stock (the “stock split”). The stock split became effective on July 17, 2014 upon the filing of the Company’s 
Certificate of Amendment of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State. On the 
effective date of the stock split, (i) each outstanding share of common stock was increased to seventy shares of common stock,   (ii) 
the number of shares of common stock issuable under each outstanding option to purchase common stock was proportionately 
increased on a one-to-seventy basis, (iii) the exercise price of each outstanding option to purchase common stock was 
proportionately decreased on a one-to-seventy basis, and (iv) the number of shares underlying each restricted stock unit was 
proportionately increased on a one-to-seventy basis. All of the share and per share information referenced throughout the financial 
statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this stock split. 

On July 31, 2014, the Company commenced an initial public offering of its common stock (the “IPO”). As part of its IPO, 

the Company sold a total of 48.9 million shares at a price of $20.50 per share, before underwriting discounts and commissions. Net 
of these discounts and commissions and other offering expenses, the Company obtained total proceeds from the IPO, including the 
underwriters’ over-allotment option, of $952.2 million, which it used to fully redeem the outstanding 9.75% senior subordinated 
notes due 2017 (the "Senior Subordinated Notes"), redeem the outstanding 7.85% senior notes due 2018 (the "Senior Notes"), 
repay portions of the Company’s unsecured term loan, and pay to Blackstone and certain other shareholders an advisory agreement 
termination fee of $29.8 million (recorded within other income/(expense), net on the Consolidated Statement of Operations), and 
for other corporate purposes. The Company’s common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under 
the symbol “CTLT” as of the IPO. Refer to Note 6 for further discussion regarding debt repayments. 

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 the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters 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.  The Company did not sell any stock in any of the secondary offerings and did not receive any 
proceeds of the sales. Blackstone’s ownership in the Company was reduced to 32.7%, 20.8% and 13.7% following the March 2015, 
June 2015 and June 2016 offerings, respectively, and as a result the Company has not qualified as a “controlled company” under 
applicable NYSE listing standards since March 9, 2015.    

The Company is the leading global provider of advanced delivery technologies and development solutions for drugs, 

biologics and consumer and animal health products. Its oral, injectable, and respiratory delivery technologies address the full 
diversity of the pharmaceutical industry including small molecules, large molecule biologics and consumer and animal health 
products. Through its extensive capabilities and deep expertise in product development, it helps its customers take products to 
market faster, including nearly half of new drug products approved by the Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA") in the last 
decade. Its advanced delivery technology platforms, its proven formulation, manufacturing and regulatory expertise, and its broad 

76 

 
 
 
and deep intellectual property enable its customers to develop more products and better treatments for patients and consumers. 
Across both development and delivery, its commitment to reliably supply its customers’ and their patient's needs is the foundation 
for the value it provides; annually, it produces more than 70 billion doses for nearly 7,000 customer products, or approximately 1 in 
every 20 doses of such products taken each year by patients and consumers around the world. The Company believes that through 
its investments in growth-enabling capacity and capabilities, its ongoing focus on operational and quality excellence, the sales of 
existing customer products, the introduction of new customer products, its innovation activities and patents, and its entry into new 
markets, it will continue to benefit from attractive and differentiated margins, and realize the growth potential from these areas.  

Reportable Segments 

In fiscal 2016, the Company engaged in a business reorganization which was finalized in the fourth quarter to better align its 
internal business unit structure with its "Follow the Molecule" strategy.  As part of the revised structure, it created a Drug Delivery 
Solutions ("DDS") reporting segment, which encompasses all of its 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, it created a stand-alone Clinical Supply Services ("CSS") reporting segment and management team with sole 
focus on providing global clinical supply chain management services that aim to speed its customers' drugs to market.  Further, as a 
result of the business unit re-alignment, the Softgel Technologies reporting segment is now reported separately. For financial 
reporting purposes, the Company presents three financial reporting segments based on criteria established by those accounting 
principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"): Softgel Technologies, Drug Delivery Solutions and Clinical 
Supply Services.  All prior period comparative segment information has been restated to reflect the reportable segments in 
accordance with ASC 280 Segment Reporting. 

Softgel Technologies 

Through the Softgel Technologies segment, the Company provides formulation, development and manufacturing services for 
soft capsules, or “softgels,” which it first commercialized in the 1930s and have continually enhanced. The Company is the market 
leader in overall softgel manufacturing, and hold the leading market position in the prescription arena. Its principal softgel 
technologies include traditional softgel capsules, in which the shell is made of animal-derived gelatin, and Vegicaps and OptiShell 
capsules, in which the shell is made from vegetable-derived materials.  Softgel capsules are used in a broad range of customer 
products, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, dietary supplements and unit-dose cosmetics. Softgel 
capsules encapsulate liquid, paste or oil-based active compounds in solution or suspension within an outer shell, filling and sealing 
the capsule simultaneously. The Company typically perform all encapsulation for a product within one of its softgel facilities, with 
active ingredients provided by customers or sourced directly by the Company. Softgels have historically been used to solve 
formulation challenges or technical issues for a specific drug, to help improve the clinical performance of compounds, to provide 
important market differentiation, particularly for over-the-counter compounds, and to provide safe handling of hormonal, potent 
and cytotoxic drugs. The Company also participate in the softgel vitamin, mineral and supplement business in selected regions 
around the world. With the 2001 introduction of its vegetable-derived softgel shell, Vegicaps capsules, consumer health 
manufacturers have been able to extend the softgel dose form to a broader range of active ingredients and serve patient/consumer 
populations that were previously inaccessible due to religious, dietary or cultural preferences. In recent years, the Company has 
extended this platform to pharmaceutical products via its OptiShell offering. The Company's Vegicaps and OptiShell capsules are 
protected by patents in most major global markets. Physician and patient studies the Company has conducted have demonstrated a 
preference for softgels versus traditional tablet and hard capsule dose forms in terms of ease of swallowing, real or perceived speed 
of delivery, ability to remove or eliminate unpleasant odor or taste and, for physicians, perceived improved patient adherence with 
dosing regimens. 

Drug Delivery Solutions 

The Company's Drug Delivery Solutions segment provides various complex advanced formulation delivery technologies, and 

related integrated solutions including: development and manufacturing of a broad range of oral dose forms including fast-dissolve 
tablets and both proprietary and conventional controlled release products, and delivery of pharmaceuticals, biologics and 
biosimilars administered via injection, inhalation and ophthalmic routes, using both traditional and advanced technologies. 

77 

 
 
 
 
 
The Company provides comprehensive pre-formulation, development, and both clinical and commercial scale for most 
traditional and advanced oral solid dose formats, including uncoated and coated tablets, powder/pellet/bead-filled two piece hard 
capsules, lozenges, powders and other forms for immediate and modified release prescription, consumer and animal health 
products.  The Company has substantial experience developing and scaling up products requiring accelerated development 
timelines, requiring specialized handling, complex technology transfers, or specialized manufacturing processes. 

 The Company launched its orally dissolving tablet business in 1986 with the introduction of Zydis tablets, a unique oral 

dosage form that is freeze-dried in its package, can be swallowed without water, and typically dissolves in the mouth in less than 
three seconds. Most often used for indications, drugs and patient groups that can benefit from rapid oral disintegration, the Zydis 
technology is utilized in a wide range of products and indications, including treatments for a variety of central nervous system-
related conditions such as migraines, Parkinson’s Disease, schizophrenia, and pain relief and consumer healthcare products 
targeting allergy relief. Zydis tablets continue to be used in new ways by the Company's customers as it extends the application of 
the technology to new categories, such as for immunotherapies, vaccines and biologics delivery. 

The Company's range of injectable manufacturing offerings includes filling drugs or biologics into pre-filled syringes and 
glass-free ADVASEPT vials, with flexibility to accommodate other formats within our existing network, increasingly focused on 
complex pharmaceuticals and biologics. With its range of technologies, the Company is able to meet a wide range of specifications, 
timelines and budgets. The complexity of the manufacturing process, the importance of experience and know-how, regulatory 
compliance, and high start-up capital requirements create significant barriers to entry and, as a result, limit the number of 
competitors in the market. For example, blow-fill-seal is an advanced aseptic processing technology, which uses a continuous 
process to form, fill with drug, and seal a plastic container in a sterile environment. Blow-fill-seal units are currently used for a 
variety of pharmaceuticals in liquid form, such as respiratory, ophthalmic and otic products. The Company is a leader in the 
outsourced blow-fill-seal market, and operate one of the largest capacity commercial manufacturing blow-fill-seal facilities in the 
world. Its sterile blow-fill-seal manufacturing has significant capacity and flexibility of manufacturing configurations. This 
business provides flexible and scalable solutions for unit-dose delivery of complex formulations such as suspensions and 
emulsions.  Further, the business provides engineering and manufacturing solutions related to complex containers. The Company's 
regulatory expertise can lead to decreased time to commercialization, and its dedicated development production lines support 
feasibility, stability and clinical runs. The Company plan to continue to expand its product line in existing and new markets, and in 
higher margin specialty products with additional respiratory, ophthalmic, injectable and nasal applications. 

The Company's fast-growing biologics offerings include its formulation development and cell-line manufacturing based on 

its advanced and patented GPEx technology, which is used to develop stable, high-yielding mammalian cell lines for both 
innovator and biosimilar biologic compounds. Its GPEx technology can provide rapid cell-line development, high biologics 
production yields, flexibility and versatility. It believes its development-stage SMARTag next-generation antibody-drug conjugate 
technology will provide more precision targeting for delivery of drugs to tumors or other locations, with improved safety versus 
existing technologies. The Company's biologics facility in Madison, Wisconsin has the capability and capacity to produce clinical-
scale biologic supplies; combined with offerings from its other businesses and external partners, the Company provides the 
broadest range of technologies and services supporting the development and launch of new biologic entities, biosimilars or 
biobetters to bring a product from gene to market commercialization, faster. 

The Company also offers analytical chemical and cell-based testing and scientific services, stability testing, respiratory 
products formulation and manufacturing, micronization and particle engineering services, regulatory consulting, and bioanalytical 
testing for biologic products. Its respiratory product capabilities include development and manufacturing services for inhaled 
products for delivery via metered dose inhalers, dry powder inhalers and intra-nasal sprays. The Company also provides 
formulation development and clinical and commercial manufacturing for conventional and specialty oral dose forms. It provides 
global regulatory and clinical support services for its customers’ regulatory and clinical strategies during all stages of development. 
Demand for its offerings is driven by the need for scientific expertise and depth and breadth of services offered, as well as by the 
reliable supply thereof, including quality, execution and performance. 

78 

 
 
 
Clinical Supply Services 

The Company's Clinical Supply Services segment provides manufacturing, packaging, storage and inventory management 

for drugs and biologics in clinical trials. It offers customers flexible solutions for clinical supplies production, and provides 
distribution and inventory management support for both simple and complex clinical trials. This includes dose form manufacturing 
or over-encapsulation where needed; supplying placebos, comparator drug procurement and clinical packages and kits for 
physicians and patients; inventory management; investigator kit ordering and fulfillment; and return supply reconciliation and 
reporting. This business supports trials in all regions of the world through its facilities and distribution network. In fiscal 2016, the 
Company commenced an expansion of its Singapore facility by building new flexible cGMP space and it introduced clinical supply 
services at its 200,000 square foot facility in Japan, expanding its Asia Pacific capabilities.  Additionally, in fiscal 2013, the 
Company established its first clinical supply services facility in China as a joint venture and assumed full ownership in fiscal 2015. 
The Company is the leading provider of integrated development solutions and one of the leading providers of clinical trial supplies 
and respiratory products. 

Basis of Presentation 

These financial statements include all of the Company’s subsidiaries, including those operating outside the United States 
("U.S.") and are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. All significant transactions among the Company’s businesses have been 
eliminated. 

Use of Estimates 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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. 

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 fluctuation 
related to certain long-term inter-company loans deemed to not be repayable in the foreseeable future have been recorded within 
the 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 statements of operations in “other expense, net.” Such foreign currency 
transaction gains and losses include inter-company loans that are repayable in the foreseeable future. 

Revenue Recognition 

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("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 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 

79 

 
 
 
 
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 Drug Delivery Solutions 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. 

Cash and Cash Equivalents 

All liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less are considered to be cash and equivalents. 

The carrying value of these cash equivalents approximates fair value. Liquid investments purchased with original maturities greater 
than three months but less than one year when purchased are classified as other current assets, and aggregate to $7.0 million as of 
June 30, 2016. 

Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 

Trade receivables are primarily comprised of amounts owed to the Company through its operating activities and are 

presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company monitors past due accounts on an ongoing basis and establishes 
appropriate reserves to cover probable losses. An account is considered past due on the first day after its due date. The Company 
makes judgments as to its ability to collect outstanding receivables and provides allowances when it concludes that all or a portion 
of the receivable will not be collected. The Company determines its allowance by considering a number of factors, including the 
length of time accounts receivable are past due, the Company’s previous loss history, the specific customer’s ability to pay its 
obligation to the Company, and the condition of the general economy and the customer’s industry. 

Concentrations of Credit Risk and Major Customers 

Concentration of credit risk, with respect to accounts receivable, is limited due to the large number of customers and their 

dispersion across different geographic areas. The customers are primarily concentrated in the pharmaceutical and healthcare 
industry. The Company normally does not require collateral or any other security to support credit sales. The Company performs 
ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial conditions and maintains reserves for credit losses. Such losses historically 
have been within the Company’s expectations. No single customer exceeded 10% of revenue during the fiscal years ended 2016, 
2015 and 2014 or 10% of accounts receivable as of the years ended 2016 and 2015. 

Inventories 

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market, using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. The Company provides 
reserves for excess, obsolete or slow-moving inventory based on changes in customer demand, technology developments or other 
economic factors. Inventory consists of costs associated with raw material, labor and overhead. 

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. 

80 

 
 
 
 
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 range 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 $94.2 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, $94.3 million for the fiscal year ended 
June 30, 2015, and $100.5 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014.  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. 

Intangible assets with finite lives, primarily including customer relationships, patents and trademarks are 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.  The Company recorded impairment charges related to 
definite lived intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, net of gains on sale, of approximately $2.7 million, $4.7 million 
and $3.2 million, for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016, June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, respectively.  

Post-Retirement and Pension Plans 

The Company sponsors various retirement and pension plans, including defined benefit retirement plans and defined 
contribution retirement plans.  The measurement of the related benefit obligations and the net periodic benefit costs recorded each 
year are based upon actuarial computations, which require management’s judgment as to certain assumptions. These assumptions 
include the discount rates used in computing the present value of the benefit obligations and the net periodic benefit costs, the 
expected future rate of salary increases (for pay-related plans) and the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets (for funded 
plans). 

Effective June 30, 2016, the approach used to estimate the service and interest components of net periodic benefit cost for 

benefit plans was changed to provide a more precise measurement of service and interest costs.  Historically, the Company 
estimated these service and interest components utilizing a single weighted-average discount rate derived from the yield curve used 
to measure the benefit obligation at the beginning of the period.  Going forward, the Company has elected to utilize an approach 
that discounts the individual expected cash flows using the applicable spot rates derived from the yield curve over the projected 
cash flow period. The Company has accounted for this change as a change in accounting estimate that is inseparable from a change 
in accounting principle and accordingly has accounted for it prospectively. 

The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is based on the target asset allocation and the average expected rate of 

growth for the asset classes invested. The average expected rate of growth is derived from a combination of historic returns, current 
market indicators, the expected risk premium for each asset class and the opinion of professional advisors. The Company uses a 
measurement date of June 30 for all its retirement and postretirement benefit plans. 

Derivative Instruments, Hedging Activities, and Fair Value 

Derivatives Instruments and Hedging Activities 

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company 

principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business 
activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest-rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the 
amount, sources and duration of its debt funding and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters 
into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of 

81 

 
 
 
future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s derivative financial 
instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts 
and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s borrowings. The Company does not net any of its 
derivative positions under master netting arrangements. 

Specifically, the Company is exposed to fluctuations in the EUR-USD exchange rate on its investments in foreign operations 

in Europe. While the Company does not actively hedge against changes in foreign currency, it has mitigated the exposure of 
investments in its European operations through a net-investment hedge by denominating a portion of its debt in euros. 

Fair Value 

The Company is required to measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value, either upon initial measurement or for 
subsequent accounting or reporting. The Company uses fair value extensively in the initial measurement of net assets acquired in a 
business combination and when accounting for and reporting on certain financial instruments. The Company estimates fair value 
using an exit price approach, which requires, among other things, that it determine the price that would be received to sell an asset 
or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly market. The determination of an exit price is considered from the perspective of market 
participants, considering the highest and best use of assets and, for liabilities, assuming the risk of non-performance will be the 
same before and after the transfer. A single estimate of fair value results from a complex series of judgments about future events 
and uncertainties and relies heavily on estimates and assumptions. When estimating fair value, depending on the nature and 
complexity of the assets or liability, the Company may use one or all of the following approaches: 

•   Market approach, which is based on market prices and other information from market transactions involving identical 

or comparable assets or liabilities.  

•   Cost approach, which is based on the cost to acquire or construct comparable assets less an allowance for functional 

and/or economic obsolescence.  

•  

Income approach, which is based on the present value of the future stream of net cash flows.  

These fair value methodologies depend on the following types of inputs: 

•   Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets (called Level 1 inputs).  

•   Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or 

liabilities in markets that are directly or indirectly observable (called Level 2 inputs).  

•   Unobservable inputs that reflect estimates and assumptions (called Level 3 inputs).  

•  

Self-Insurance 

The Company is partially self-insured for certain employee health benefits and partially self-insured for property losses and 

casualty claims.  The Company accrues for losses based upon experience and actuarial assumptions, including provisions for 
incurred but not reported losses. 

Shipping and Handling 

The Company includes shipping and handling costs in cost of sales in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.  Shipping 

and handling revenue received was immaterial for all periods presented and is presented within net revenues. 

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss) 

Accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss), which is reported in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of 

Changes in Shareholders’ Equity, consists of net earnings/(loss), foreign currency translation, deferred compensation, and 
minimum pension liability changes. 

82 

 
 
 
 
  
Research and Development Costs 

The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred. It records costs incurred in connection with the 

development of new offerings and manufacturing process improvements within selling, general, and administrative expenses. Such 
research and development costs amounted to $7.6 million, $12.2 million and $17.5 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 
2016, June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, respectively. The Company records within cost of sales the costs it incurred in connection 
with the research and development services that it provided to customers and services it performed for customers in support of the 
commercial manufacturing process. This second type of research and development costs amounted to $47.4 million, $41.3 million 
and $34.0 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016, June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, respectively. 

Earnings / (Loss) Per Share 

The Company reports net earnings (loss) per share in accordance with 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 
due to 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 include as appropriate in-the-money stock options and outstanding restricted stock units 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 in a loss period. 

Income Taxes 

In accordance with ASC 740 Income Taxes, the Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. The 

asset and liability method requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for expected future tax consequences of 
temporary differences that currently exist between tax bases and financial reporting bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities. 
The Company measures deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in the respective jurisdictions in which it 
operates. In assessing the ability to realize deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that the 
Company will be able to realize some or all of the deferred tax assets. The calculation of the Company’s tax liabilities involves 
dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations in each of its tax jurisdictions. The number of years with 
open tax audits varies by tax jurisdiction. A number of years may lapse before a particular matter is audited and finally resolved. 
The Company applies ASC 740 to determine the accounting for uncertain tax positions. This standard clarifies the accounting for 
income taxes, by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before the Company may 
recognize the position in its financial statements.  The standard also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, 
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. 

Equity-Based Compensation 

The Company accounts for its equity-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718 Compensation—Stock Compensation.  

Under ASC 718, companies 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. 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 an employee holding vested stock options to elect to 

have the Company withhold a portion of the shares otherwise issuable upon the employee’s exercise of the option, a so-called "net 
settlement transaction," as a means of paying the exercise price, meeting tax withholding requirements, or both. 

83 

 
 
 
Recent Financial Accounting Standards 

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("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 periods 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. Accordingly, the Company 
recognized the previously unrecognized excess tax benefits, which resulted in a cumulative-effect adjustment benefit of $19.9 
million recorded as part of accumulated deficit, with the tax effects recorded as deferred tax assets at the beginning of the 2016 
fiscal year. In addition, excess tax benefits of $4.3 million generated during fiscal 2016 are recorded as part of income tax 
expense/(benefit) in the consolidated statement of income. Furthermore, the Company recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment 
charge of approximately $0.7 million, net of income taxes, to the beginning accumulated deficit for the impact of electing to 
account for forfeiture as it occurs. 

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 November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17 Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which requires that all 
deferred tax assets and liabilities, along with any related valuation allowance, be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. As a 
result, each jurisdiction will now only have one net noncurrent deferred tax asset or liability. The new guidance will be effective for 
publicly reporting entities in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those 
years. Early adoption is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The guidance may be 
applied either prospectively, for all deferred tax assets and liabilities, or retrospectively. The Company has elected to early adopt 
this update as of the end of the 2016 fiscal year and applied its provisions prospectively. As a result, the prior period was not 
retrospectively adjusted. 

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03 Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires that debt 

issuance costs be presented in the balance sheet as a direct reduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability, 
consistent with the presentation of a debt discount. The new guidance is effective for publicly reporting entities for annual and 
interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company early-adopted this guidance as of 
January 1, 2016, on a retrospective basis, which had an effect on the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2015 and no effect 
on the consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income (loss), cash flows or changes in stockholders' equity/(deficit) for 
the year then ended. The unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the Company's revolving credit facility continues to be 
included within other assets. The following table summarizes the Company's As Reported and As Adjusted changes to the 
consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2015:

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 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 will be effective for 
publicly reporting 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 where the 
standard is applied only to the most current period presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. The Company 
is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its consolidated results of operations and financial position. 

2.  BUSINESS COMBINATIONS 

During the year ended June 30, 2015, the Company completed acquisitions which were immaterial, individually and in 

the aggregate, to the overall consolidated financial position and results of operations of the Company.  Notably, in October 
2014, the Company acquired the remaining shares of Redwood Bioscience Inc. and its SMARTag Antibody-Drug Conjugate 
(ADC) technology platform.  The acquired business is based in the U.S. and is included in the Drug Delivery Solutions 
segment.  Additionally, in November 2014, the Company acquired 100% of the shares of MTI Pharma Solutions, Inc. (Micron 
Technologies), a company specializing in particle size reduction (micronization), milling and analytical contract services.  The 
acquired business is based in the U.S. and the U.K. and is included in the Drug Delivery Solutions segment. 

The Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2015 includes the fair value allocations for these acquisitions, 
which were completed in the fiscal year. Aggregate purchase consideration for both acquisitions totaled $110.8 million. As a 
result of the fair value allocations, the Company recognized intangible assets of $56 million, comprised of $34 million of 
customer relationships and $22 million of core technology. The remainder of fair value was allocated to tangible assets 
acquired and goodwill.

5.   RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER 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.

of debt issuance costs to long-term debt obligation, less current portion.  Prior to the adoption of ASU 2015-03, the 
unamortized debt issuance costs were included in other assets on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.  The 
unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the Company's revolving credit facility continues to be included 
within other assets.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities 

On May 20, 2014, the Operating Company entered into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended to 
date, the "Credit Agreement") to provide senior secured financing consisting of a seven-year $1,400.0 million dollar term loan 
(the “Dollar Term Loan”), a seven-year €250.0 million euro term loan (the “Euro Term Loan” and, together with the Dollar 
Term Loan, the "Term Loan Facilities") and a five-year $200.0 million revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit 
Facility"), the proceeds of which were used to prepay in full all outstanding Refinancing Dollar Term-1 Loans, Refinancing 
Dollar Term-2 Loans and Extended Euro Term Loans under the prior version of the Credit Agreement.  The Revolving Credit 
Facility includes borrowing capacity available for letters of credit and for short-term borrowings, referred to as the swing line 
borrowings.  Borrowings under the Term Loan Facilities and the Revolving Credit Facility bear 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 Loan Facilities 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 is 3.50% 
for loans based on a LIBOR rate and 2.50% for loans based on base rate. The LIBOR rate for the Term Loan Facilities is 
subject to a floor of 1.00% and the base rate for the Term Loan Facilities is subject to a floor of 2.00%.  Cash paid associated 
with this financing activity approximated $23.9 million.  The Company expensed $7.2 million of unamortized deferred finance 
costs and debt discounts. 

On December 1, 2014, the Operating Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement to provide 
additional senior secured financing of incremental dollar- and euro- denominated term loan facilities of $100 million and €72.8 
million ($91 million), respectively. The incremental term loans have substantially similar terms as Catalent's existing Term 
Loan Facilities. The proceeds of the borrowing were primarily used to pay the remaining $40.5 million outstanding of 
unsecured term loans, fund acquisitions completed in the second quarter of $111.6 million and general corporate purposes.  The 
Company incurred approximately $2.8 million in financing costs, of which $1.2 million was recorded in other (income) / 
expense, net in the consolidated statement of operations.  

 As of June 30, 2016, there were $13.9 million in outstanding letters of credit that reduced the borrowing capacity under 

the Revolving Credit Facility.  

Redemption of Notes and Unsecured Term Loan Prepayment 

In July 2014, the Company provided notice of its election to redeem the entire $350.0 million aggregate principal amount 
outstanding of Senior Notes and redeemed them in August 2014 at a redemption price of 101.5% of their principal amount plus 
accrued and unpaid interest.  The redemption was funded with proceeds from the IPO.  In connection with the redemption the 
Company recorded $5.3 million in expense related to the call premium and expensed $5.9 million of unamortized debt discount 
and deferred financing costs, both in other (income) / expense, net in the consolidated statements of operations. 

 In August 2014, the Company provided notice of its election to redeem the entire €225.0 million aggregate principal 
amount outstanding of Senior Subordinated Notes and redeemed them in September 2014 at a redemption price of 101.625% of 
their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.  The redemption was funded with proceeds from the IPO.  In 
connection with the redemption the Company recorded $4.5 million in expense related to the call premium and expensed $4.0 
million of unamortized debt discount and deferred financing costs, both in other (income) / expense, net in the consolidated 
statements of operations.   

In August 2014, the Company repaid $114.5 million of the outstanding borrowings under unsecured term loans with 
proceeds from the IPO.  In September 2014, the Company repaid $120.0 million of the outstanding borrowings under the 
unsecured term loans with proceeds from the additional shares purchased by the representatives of the underwriters in 
connection with the IPO.  In connection with the debt payments, the Company expensed $0.9 million of unamortized debt 
discount and deferred financing costs in other (income) / expense, net in the consolidated statements of operations.  In 
December 2014, the Company paid the remaining $40.5 million outstanding on the unsecured term loans with proceeds from 
the incremental Term Loan Facility.

Long-Term and Other Obligations 

Other obligations consist primarily of capital leases for buildings and other loans for business and working capital needs.

years are:

Debt Issuance Costs 

Debt issuance costs associated with the Company's Term Loan Facilities are presented as a reduction to the carrying value 

of the debt while the debt issuance costs associated with the Revolving Credit Facility are capitalized within prepaid expenses 
and other assets on the balance sheet.  All debt issuance costs are amortized over the life of the related obligation through 
charges to interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The unamortized total of debt issuance costs were 
approximately $7.7 million and $9.5 million as of June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015, respectively. Amortization of debt issuance 
costs totaled $1.8 million and $2.2 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015, respectively.  

Guarantees and Security 

All obligations under the Credit Agreement, and the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by substantially all of 

the following assets of the 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.  

Debt Covenants 

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; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; make investments, loans or advances; make certain acquisitions; 
enter into sale and leaseback transactions and change its 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 June 30, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all material covenants related to its 
long-term 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.

Fair Value of Debt Measurements 

The estimated fair value of the long-term debt, 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.  The carrying amounts and the estimated fair values of financial instruments as of June 30, 2016 and June 30, 
2015 are as follows:

The computation of diluted earnings per share for the years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014 excludes the effect of 
potential shares issuable under the Company's pre-IPO employee stock option plan of 2.2 million, 2.1 million and 2.3 million 
options, respectively, 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 year ended June 30, 2016 
excludes the effect of potential common shares issuable under the employee stock option plan and restricted stock units of 
approximately 0.5 million shares each because they are anti-dilutive.

8.  DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES 

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives 

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 the exposure of its 
investments in its European operations by denominating a portion of its debt in euros. At June 30, 2016, the Company had 
euro-denominated debt outstanding of $345.2 million that qualifies as a hedge of a net investment in foreign operations. For 
non-derivatives designated and qualifying as net investment hedges, the effective portion 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 fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015:

when the entity to which the gains and losses reside is either sold or substantially liquidated.

The income tax benefit 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 the geographic mix of pretax income and changes in the tax impact of permanent differences and 
other discrete tax items, which may have unique tax implications depending on the nature of the item. The effective tax rate at 
June 30, 2015 reflects the release of the U.S. federal valuation allowance and an increase in a tax reserve related to an 
adjustment to inter-company interest income in Germany, partially offset by a corresponding deduction in the United Kingdom 
due to enacted tax rate changes.  The effective tax rate for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 reflects the impact of benefits of 
a valuation allowance release for utilized capital losses prior to expiration this year, a current year deduction related to stock 
compensation, as well as a deduction related to a further U.K. rate reduction enacted during the current year, countered by 
valuation allowance builds on current year losses.

As of June 30, 2016, the Company had $471.9 million of undistributed earnings from non-U.S. subsidiaries that are 
intended to be permanently reinvested in non-U.S. operations. As these earnings are considered permanently reinvested, no 
U.S. tax provision has been accrued related to the repatriation of these earnings. It is not feasible to estimate the amount of U.S. 
tax that might be payable on the eventual remittance of such earnings. 

Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between financial reporting and tax reporting bases of assets and 
liabilities, and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards for tax purposes. The components of the deferred income tax assets 
and liabilities are as follows at June 30, 2016 and 2015:

The Company adopted ASU 2015-17 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 on a prospective basis; accordingly, all deferred 

tax assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2016, are classified as noncurrent in the balance sheet, and the prior period balances 
were not retrospectively adjusted.   

At June 30, 2016, the Company has federal net operating loss carryforwards of $230.2 million, all of which are subject to 
limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Internal Revenue Code"); $13.2 million 
of which, because they were generated in years prior to April 10, 2007, when the Company was owned by Cardinal, and the 
remainder due to a change in ownership event when Blackstone, Genstar Capital, and Aisling Capital completed a secondary 
offering of the Company’s stock in March 2015. The federal loss carryforwards will expire in fiscal years 2022 through 2033. 

The Company adopted ASU 2016-09, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 on a modified retrospective basis; 
accordingly, the Company recognized the previously unrecognized excess tax benefits, which resulted in a cumulative-effect 
adjustment tax benefit of $19.9 million recorded as part of accumulated deficit, with the tax effects recorded as deferred tax 
assets at the beginning of the 2016 fiscal year. 

At June 30, 2016, the Company has state tax loss carryforwards of $376.2 million. Approximately $181.5 million of these 

losses are state tax losses generated in periods prior to the period ending June 30, 2007.  Substantially all state carryforwards 
have a twenty-year carryforward period. At June 30, 2016, the Company has international tax loss carryforwards of $129.8 
million. Substantially all of these carryforwards are available for at least three years or have an indefinite carryforward period. 

The Company had valuation allowances of $69.9 million and $82.4 million as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, 

against our deferred tax assets.   

The Company considered all available evidence, both positive and negative, in assessing the need for a valuation 
allowance for deferred tax assets. Three possible sources of taxable income were evaluated when assessing the realization of 
deferred tax assets: 

•   Future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences;  
•   Tax planning strategies; and  
•   Future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards.  

The Company considered the need to maintain a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets based on management’s 
assessment of whether it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets would be realized based on future reversals of existing 
taxable temporary differences and the ability to generate sufficient taxable income within the carryforward period available 
under the applicable tax law. The deferred tax liabilities are expected to reverse in the same period and jurisdiction and are of 
the same character as the temporary differences giving rise to a portion of the deferred tax assets. 

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, the Company released the majority of its U.S. federal valuation allowance of 

$136.7 million based on projected U.S. future earnings in excess of the $294.1 million required to realize its net U.S. federal 
deferred tax assets. Of the $294.1 million, $329.5 million relates to the federal net operating loss carryforward (NOL) which 
expires in the years 2028 to 2032. The remaining $35.4 million relates to other net deferred tax liabilities.  A valuation 
allowance of $10.4 million was retained on U.S. federal deferred tax assets for capital losses, which have expired in the current 
period. 

94 

 
 
The reversal of the valuation allowance was the result of a continuing trend of U.S. taxable income and the expectation 
that this trend will continue, rather than relying on tax planning strategies to support the realization of deferred tax assets. We 
had experienced three consecutive years of positive U.S. taxable earnings as of the current quarter and expect to sustain this 
position in the future, due to the positive impact on U.S. earnings from reduced interest expense resulting from a reduction in 
our external debt, among other factors. 

While the U.S. federal valuation allowance was reversed, the U.S. state valuation allowance on $375.7 million of pre-
apportioned state net operating losses were maintained. Due to uncertainty around earnings, apportionment, certain restrictions 
at the state level, and the history of tax losses, anticipated utilization rates were not sufficient to overcome the negative 
evidence and allow a release.  

As part of the 2007 acquisition from Cardinal, the Company has been indemnified by Cardinal for tax liabilities that may 

arise in the future that relate to tax periods prior to April 10, 2007 (the “Formation Date”). The indemnification agreement 
includes, among other taxes, any and all Federal, state and international income based taxes as well as any interest and penalties 
that may be related thereto. 

Similarly, as part of the 2012 purchase of the CTS business from Aptuit, Inc., the Company has been indemnified by 
Aptuit, Inc. for tax liabilities relating to the CTS business that may arise in the future that relate to tax periods prior to February 
17, 2012. The indemnification agreement includes, among other taxes, any and all Federal, state and international income based 
taxes as well as any interest and penalties that may be related thereto. 

The amount of income taxes the Company may pay is subject to ongoing audits by federal, state and foreign tax 

authorities, which may result in proposed assessments. The Company’s estimate for the potential outcome for any uncertain tax 
issue is highly judgmental. The Company assesses its income tax positions and record benefits for all years subject to 
examination based upon management’s evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date. 
For those tax positions for which it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, the Company records the amount 
that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all 
relevant information. Interest and penalties are accrued, where applicable. 

95 

 
 
 
ASC 740 includes guidance on the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements.  

This standard also 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 resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based 
on the technical merits.  As of June 30, 2016, the Company had a total of $61.5 million of unrecognized tax benefits. A 
reconciliation of our unrecognized tax benefits, excluding accrued interest, for June 30, 2016, June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014 
are as follows:

Of this amount, $45.7 million and $46.7 million represent the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, 

would favorably impact the effective income tax rate as of June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015, respectively. An additional $15.8 
million represents the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would not impact the effective income tax rate 
due to a full valuation allowance.  

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world, 
including major jurisdictions such as Germany, United Kingdom, France, the United States, and various states.  The Company 
is no longer subject to examinations by the relevant tax authorities for years prior to fiscal 2005. 

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of June 30, 

2016, the Company has approximately $5.6 million of accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions, a decrease of $0.7 
million from the prior year.  The Company had approximately $6.3 million and $5.1 million of accrued interest related to 
uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  The portion of such interest and penalties subject to 
indemnification by Cardinal is $2.1 million, a decrease of $0.2 million from the prior year. 

10.  EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS 

The Company sponsors various retirement plans, including defined benefit pension plans and defined contribution plans. 
Substantially all of the Company’s domestic non-union employees are eligible to participate in employer-sponsored retirement 
savings plans, which include plans covered under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, and provide for company 
matching contributions. The Company’s contributions to the plans are discretionary but are subject to certain minimum 
requirements as specified in the plans under law. The Company uses a measurement date of June 30 for all of its retirement and 
postretirement benefit plans. 

In addition, the Company has recorded obligations related to its withdrawal from a multi-employer pension plan related 

to a former commercial packaging site, a clinical services site and a former printed components operation.  The Company’s 
withdrawal from these multi-employer pension plans has been classified as a mass withdrawal under the Multiemployer 
Pension Plan Amendments Act of 1980, and, as amended, under the Pension Protection Act of 2006.  The withdrawal from the 
plan resulted in the recognition of liabilities associated with the Company’s long-term obligations in prior year periods not 
presented, which were primarily recorded as an expense within discontinued operations.  The estimated discounted value of the 

96 

 
projected contributions related to these plans is $39.3 million and $39.5 million as of June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015, 
respectively. The annual cash impact associated with the Company’s long-term obligation approximates $1.7 million per year.  

          The following table provides a reconciliation of the change in projected benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets 
for the defined benefit retirement and other retirement plans, excluding the multi-employer pension plan liability:

The Company employs a building block approach in determining the long-term rate of return for plan assets, with proper 
consideration of diversification and rebalancing. Historical markets are studied and long-term historical relationships between 
equities and fixed income are preserved consistent with the widely accepted capital market principle that assets with higher 
volatility generate a greater return over the long run. Current market factors such as inflation and interest rates are evaluated 
before long-term capital market assumptions are determined. Peer data are reviewed to check for reasonability and 
appropriateness. 

Plan assets are recognized and measured at fair value in accordance with the accounting standards regarding fair value 

measurements. The following are valuation techniques used to determine the fair value of each major category of assets: 

•   Short-term investments, equity securities, fixed-income securities, and real estate are valued using quoted market 

prices or other valuation methods, and thus are classified within Level 1 or Level 2.

•  

Insurance contracts and other types of investments include investments with some observable and unobservable 
prices that are adjusted by cash contributions and distributions, and thus are classified within Level 2 or Level 3.  

•   Other assets as of June 30, 2016 include $28.0 million of investments in hedge funds related to our U.K. pension 

plan and are classified as Level 2.

Level 3 other assets consist of an insurance contract in the UK to fulfill the benefit obligations for a portion of the 
participant benefits. The value of this commitment is determined using the same assumptions and methods used to value the 
UK Retirement & Death Benefit Plan pension liability. Level 3 other assets also include the partial funding of a pension 
liability relating to current and former employees of the Company’s Eberbach facility through a Company promissory note or 
loan with an annual rate of interest of 5%. The value of this commitment fluctuates due to contributions and benefit payments 
in addition to loan interest.

Level 3 real estate assets consist of a U.K. Property fund ("UBS Life Triton Property Fund") that directly invests in 
properties that are held in the U.K. The funds are priced using the Net Asset Value ("NAV") of the fund and investors also get 
Bid and Offer prices on a monthly basis. Investment properties are measured at fair value as determined by third-party 
independent appraisers. Their value is ascertained by reference to the market value, having regard to whether they are let or un-
let at the date of valuation, in accordance with the Appraisal and Valuation Manual issued by the Royal Institution of Chartered 
Surveyors.

The investment policy reflects the long-term nature of the plans’ funding obligations. The assets are invested to provide 

the opportunity for both income and growth of principal. This objective is pursued as a long-term goal designed to provide 
required benefits for participants without undue risk. It is expected that this objective can be achieved through a well-
diversified asset portfolio. All equity investments are made within the guidelines of quality, marketability and diversification 
mandated by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) (for plans subject to ERISA) and 
other relevant legal requirements. Investment managers are directed to maintain equity portfolios at a risk level approximately 
equivalent to that of the specific benchmark established for that portfolio. Assets invested in fixed income securities and pooled 
fixed-income portfolios are managed actively to pursue opportunities presented by changes in interest rates, credit ratings or 
maturity premiums.

Prior to the IPO, the Company was party to a transaction and advisory fee agreement with affiliates of Blackstone and 
certain other investors in BHP PTS Holdings L.L.C. (the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company historically paid an 
annual sponsor advisory fee to Blackstone and the other Investors for certain monitoring, advisory and consulting services to 
the Company.  In connection with the IPO, the Company paid the Investors an advisory agreement termination fee of $29.8 
million in August 2014, which was recorded within other (income)/expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, 
and terminated the agreement.  As a result, the Company did not have management fees for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016 
and 2015.  For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, this management fee was approximately $12.9 million. This fee was 
recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. 

In connection with each of the secondary offerings of our common stock demanded by Blackstone during fiscal 2015 and 

2016 following the IPO, we entered into underwriting agreements with Blackstone, the other shareholders selling in the 
offerings, and the underwriters managing the offerings setting forth the terms of the offerings and making various 
representations to the underwriters regarding various facts and circumstances relating to the offerings. The underwriting 
agreements required us to pay certain expenses relating to the offerings and to indemnify Blackstone, the other sellers, and the 
underwriters for the offerings against liabilities arising from breaches of our representations and certain other matters relating to 
the offerings. 

Other Related Party Transactions 

The Company participates in an employer health program agreement with Equity Healthcare LLC (“Equity Healthcare”). 

Equity Healthcare negotiates with providers of standard administrative services for health benefit plans and other related 
services for cost discounts and quality of service monitoring capability by Equity Healthcare. Because of the combined

purchasing power of its client participants, Equity Healthcare is able to negotiate pricing terms for providers that are believed to 
be more favorable than the companies could obtain for themselves on an individual basis. In consideration for these services, 
the Company paid Equity Healthcare a fee of $3.00 and $2.80 per participating employee per month in calendar years 2016 and 
2015, respectively. As of June 30, 2016, the Company had approximately 2,700 employees enrolled in its health benefit plans in 
the United States. Equity Healthcare is an affiliate of Blackstone.  

12.  EQUITY AND ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)  

Description of Capital Stock and Initial Public Offering 

The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 100,000,000 

shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share.  In accordance with the Company’s amended and restated certificate of 
incorporation, each share of common stock has one vote, and the common stock votes together as a single class.  In July 2014, 
the Company’s board of directors and holders of the requisite number of outstanding shares of its capital stock approved an 
amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to effect a 70-for-1 stock split. The stock split 
became effective on July 17, 2014 upon the filing with the Delaware Secretary of State of the amendment.  Refer to Note 1 for 
further discussion of the Company’s July 2014 recapitalization and discussion of the Company’s public offerings of common 
stock.

13.  EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION 

The Company’s stock-based compensation is comprised of stock options and restricted stock units. 

2007 Stock Incentive Plan 

Awards issued under the Company’s pre-IPO incentive compensation plan, known as the 2007 PTS Holdings Corp. Stock 
Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2007 Plan”), were generally issued for the purpose of retaining key employees and directors. 

2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan 

In connection with the IPO, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted, and the holder of a majority of the shares 
approved, the 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan effective July 31, 2014 (the “2014 Plan”).  The 2014 Plan provides certain 
members of management, employees and directors of the Company and its subsidiaries with the opportunity to obtain various 
incentives, including grants of stock options and restricted stock units.  A maximum of 6,700,000 shares of common stock may 
be issued under the 2014 Plan. 

Stock Compensation Expense 

Stock compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statements of income was $10.8 million, $9.0 million and 
$4.5 million in fiscal 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. All stock compensation expense is classified in selling, general and 
administrative expenses along with the wages and benefits of the option participants. Stock compensation expense was based 
on awards expected to vest, and therefore was reduced by estimated forfeitures in fiscal years 2015 and 2014 prior to the 
adoption of ASU 2016-09, whereby the Company elected to account for forfeitures as they occur.  The Company recognized a 
cumulative-effect adjustment charge relating to prior periods of approximately $0.7 million, net of income taxes to accumulated 
deficit for the impact of electing to account for a forfeiture as it occurs.  The Company recorded $0.3 million related to the first 
nine months of fiscal 2016 to adjust for previously estimated forfeitures for the interim periods.  See Note 1. 

105 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Stock Options 

The Company adopted two forms of non-qualified stock option agreements (each, a “Form Option Agreement”) for 
awards granted under the 2007 Plan. Under the Company’s Form Option Agreement adopted in 2009, a portion of the stock 
option awards vest in equal annual installments over a five -year period contingent solely upon the participant’s continued 
employment with the Company, or one of its subsidiaries, another portion of the stock option awards vest over a specified 
performance period upon achievement of pre-determined operating performance targets over time and the remaining portion of 
the stock option awards vest upon realization of certain internal rates of return or multiple of investment goals. Under the 
Company’s other Form Option Agreement, adopted in 2013, a portion of the stock option awards vest over a specified 
performance period upon achievement of pre-determined operating performance targets over time while the other portion of the 
stock option awards vest upon realization of a specified multiple of investment goal. The Form Option Agreements include 
certain forfeiture provisions upon a participant’s separation from service with the Company.  Following the IPO, the Company 
decided not to grant any further awards under the 2007 Plan; however, all outstanding awards granted prior to the IPO remained 
outstanding in accordance with the terms of the 2007 Plan. 

Stock options were also granted under the 2014 Plan during fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015 for selected executives of the 

Company, with an aggregate intrinsic value of $0 and $2.3 million, which represents approximately 369,000 and 509,000 
shares of common stock for the fiscal 2016 and 2015 grants, respectively.  Each stock option vests in equal annual installments 
over a four-year period from the date of grant, contingent upon the participant’s continued employment with the Company. 

Methodology and Assumptions 

Stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value on the date of grant.  Stock options granted 

generally vest in equal annual installments over four or five years from the grant date. All outstanding stock options have a 
contractual term of 10 years, subject to forfeiture under certain conditions upon separation of employment. The grant-date fair 
value, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, is recognized as expense on a graded-vesting basis over the vesting period. The fair 
value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model for service and performance based 
awards, and an adaptation of the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model, which takes into consideration the internal rate 
of return thresholds, for market-based awards. This model adaptation is essentially equivalent to the use of path dependent-
lattice model.  

The weighted average of assumptions used in estimating the fair value of stock options granted during each year were as 

follows: 

Expected volatility 
Expected life (in years) 
Risk-free interest rates 
Dividend yield 

Year Ended June 30, 

2016
28% - 31%
6.25

6.25 
2% 
None 

2014
31%
5.66 - 6.50 
0.3% - 2.2% 
None 

The Company ended fiscal 2016 in its second year of being public, and as a result has limited relevant historical volatility 

experience; therefore, the expected volatility assumption is based on the historical volatility of the closing share prices of a 
comparable peer group. The Company selected peer companies from the pharmaceutical industry with similar characteristics, 
including market capitalization, number of employees and product focus. In addition, since the Company does not have a 
pattern of exercise behavior of option holders, the Company used the simplified method to determine the expected life of each 
option, which is the mid-point between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term. The risk-free interest-rate for the 
expected life of the option is based on the comparable U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The weighted-
average grant-date fair value of stock options in fiscal 2016, 2015, and 2014 was $10.68 per share, $7.23 per share and $5.41 
per share, respectively.

In fiscal 2016, participants exercised options to purchase 212 thousand net settled shares, resulting in $6.4 million of cash 
paid  on  behalf  of  participants  for  withholding  taxes.    The  intrinsic  value  of  the  options  exercised  in  fiscal  2016  was  $12.2 
million.  The total fair value of options vested during the period was $3.1 million. 

In fiscal  2015,  participants  exercised options  to  purchase  623  thousand net  settled  shares, resulting  in $10.3  million of 
cash paid on behalf of participants for withholding taxes.  The intrinsic value of the options exercised in fiscal 2015 was $26.8 
million.  The total fair value of options vested during the period was $3.6 million. 

As of June 30, 2016, $3.3 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options is expected to be 

recognized as expense over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.7 years.  

Restricted Stock Units 

Restricted stock units under the 2014 Plan may be granted to members of management and directors.  The Company has 

granted to members of management restricted stock units that vest over specified periods of time as well as restricted stock 
units that have certain performance-related vesting requirements (“performance share units”).  The performance share units 
granted for fiscal 2016 and 2015 had a grant date fair value of $19.8 million and $14.7 million, respectively, which represents 
approximately 607,000 and 692,000 shares of common stock, respectively.  Under the 2014 Plan, the performance share units 
vest based on achieving Company financial performance metrics established at the outset of each three-year performance 
period.  The metrics for the fiscal 2015 grant are a mix of cumulative revenue growth and cumulative EBITDA growth targets.  
The metrics for the fiscal 2016 grant are a mix of earnings-per-share ("EPS") targets and relative total shareholder return 
("RTSR") targets.  The performance share units vest following the end of the three-year performance period on the third 
anniversary of the date of grant based on achievement of the targets which are reviewed quarterly to determine the probability 
of vesting.  The time-based restricted stock units awards vest on the third anniversary of the date of grant subject to the 
participant’s continued employment with the Company. 

Methodology and Assumptions 

The grant-date fair value of restricted stock units is recognized as expense on a graded vesting schedule over the vesting 
period of three to five years. This fair value is determined based on the number of shares subject to the grant and the fair value 
of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, as determined by the closing market price.

The fair value of the RTSR performance share units is determined using the Monte Carlo pricing model because the 
number of shares to be awarded is subject to a market condition.  The Monte Carlo simulation is a generally accepted statistical 
technique used to simulate a range of possible future unit prices.  Compensation cost is recognized regardless if the market 
condition is actually satisfied. 

The assumptions used in estimating the fair value of the RTSR performance share units granted for the year ended 

June 30, 2016 are as follows: 

Expected volatility 
Expected life (in years) 
Risk-free interest rates 
Dividend yield 

25% 
2.84
0.94%

In fiscal 2016, participants vested and settled 181 thousand net settled shares, resulting in $2.3 million of cash paid on 

behalf of participants for withholding taxes.  

As of June 30, 2016, $17.2 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock units is expected to be 
recognized as expense over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.9 years. The weighted-average grant-date fair value 
of restricted stock units in fiscal years 2016, 2015 and 2014 was $32.82, $21.49 and $21.64, respectively.  The fair value of 
restricted stock units vested in fiscal 2016, 2015 and 2014 was $1.2 million, $0.6 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

Included within Other (income) / expense, net are gains associated with acquisitions completed during the respective 
periods.  Such income events are non-standard in nature and not reflective of the Company’s core operating results.  
During the twelve months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded a gain of $3.2 million on the re-measurement 
of a cost investment in an entity that became a wholly owned subsidiary as of October 2014, a $7.0 million bargain 
purchase gain for an acquisition completed in July 2014, and a $1.3 million loss on the redeemable noncontrolling 
interest in June 2015. 

 (2)  The Company paid a sponsor advisory agreement termination fee of $29.8 million in connection with its IPO.  

 (3)  Included within Other (income) / expense, net are realized gains associated with the sale of available for sale 

investments of approximately $3.8 million during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016.   

15.  REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTEREST 

In July 2013, the Company acquired a 67% controlling interest in a softgel manufacturing facility located in Haining, 

China.  The noncontrolling interest shareholders had the right to jointly sell the remaining 33% interest to Catalent during the 
30-day period following the third anniversary of closing for a price based on the greater of (1) an amount that would provide 
the noncontrolling interest shareholders a return on their investment of a predetermined amount per annum on their pro rata 
share of the initial valuation or (2) a multiple of the sum of the target’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and 
amortization less net debt for the four quarters immediately preceding such sale.  Noncontrolling interest with redemption 
features, such as the arrangement described above, that are not solely within the Company’s control are considered redeemable 
noncontrolling interests, which is considered temporary equity and is therefore reported outside of permanent equity on the 
Company’s consolidated balance sheet at the greater of the initial carrying amount adjusted for the noncontrolling interest’s 
share of net income/(loss) or its redemption value. 

In June 2015, the Company reached an agreement to acquire the remaining 33% from the noncontrolling interest 
shareholders for purchase consideration of $5.8 million.  As a result of the purchase agreement, the Company recorded a $1.3 
million loss in Other Income/Expense, net to reflect the current redemption value as of June 30, 2015. The transaction closed in 
December 2015.

Rental expense relating to operating leases was approximately $9.5 million, $10.0 million, and $9.5 million for the fiscal 

years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Sublease rental income was not material for any period presented. 

Other Matters 

During the period November 2015 through April 2016, the primary French drug regulatory agency (the “ANSM”) 
temporarily suspended operations at the Company’s softgel manufacturing facility in Beinheim, France, subject to exemptions 
for certain types of operations. Due to the temporary suspension, the Company was unable to use certain raw materials, work in 
process and finished goods, and took a charge of $1.0 million, net of insurance recoveries, during the year ended June 30, 2016, 
in connection with such loss of use and recorded remediation associated costs of $6.0 million. Further, certain of the customers 
of the facility have presented claims against the Company for losses 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 these claims or the likely cost to resolve them. Changes to the operations at the facility to address the issues leading to 
the suspension have increased and may in the future additionally increase the cost and therefore decrease the profitability of its 
operation and may also require the Company to incur additional costs. 

From time to time, we 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, claims for reimbursement for the cost of lost or damaged 
active pharmaceutical ingredients and employment-related claims, the cost of any of which could be significant. We intend to 
vigorously defend ourselves against any such litigation and do not currently believe that the outcome of any such litigation will 
have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or result of operation. 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, we receive subpoenas or requests for information from private parties and various governmental 

agencies, including from state attorneys general and the U.S. Department of Justice, relating to the business practices of 
customers or suppliers. We generally respond 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 by us. We expect 
to incur costs in the future in connection with future requests. 

17.  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 
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 may not be comparable to similarly titled measures 
used by other companies.

specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s 
management, including the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, and the Company’s Executive Vice President 
and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Any controls and 
procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control 
objectives. The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, and 
the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and 
operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on 
Form 10-K. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Executive 
Vice President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2016, the Company’s disclosure controls and 
procedures were effective to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level. 

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting. 
Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurances regarding the reliability of financial 
reporting and the preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. 

Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: 

•   pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and 

dispositions of our assets; 

•   provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements 

in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with 
authorizations of our management and directors; and 

•   provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition 

of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. 

Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become 
inadequate because either conditions change or the degree of compliance with our policies and procedures may deteriorate. 

Our management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2016. In 

making this assessment, management used the framework set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the 
Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013). Based on this assessment, our management 
concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2016.   

The effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2016 has been audited by 
Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report, which is included in Item 8. 
Financial Statements and Supplementary Data in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting 

There was no change in the Company’s 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 the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that has materially 
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
