We entered the cell therapy market through our acquisition of Masthercell Global, a leading cell therapy contract
developer and manufacturer with locations in Belgium and Texas. We expanded our Maryland-based gene therapy
developer and manufacturer with locations in Belgium and Texas. We expanded our Maryland-based gene therapy
business, including our flagship commercial manufacturing campus, which became the first contract development
business, including our flagship commercial manufacturing campus, which became the first contract development
and manufacturing site to secure FDA approval to
manufacture an approved gene therapy. Finally, we
acquired a first-class, biologics fill-finish, solid oral
dose, and packaging facility in Italy from Bristol-
Myers Squibb to expand our European capabilities.
We also increased our organic growth investments
in fiscal 2020 to meet customer and patient needs.
An outsized portion of the $466 million we spent on
capital improvements was directed to our biologic drug
substance and drug product offerings, including the
aforementioned expansions in our gene therapy business
and previously announced expansions of our biologics
drug substance capacity in Madison, Wisconsin and our
biologics drug product capacity in Bloomington, Indiana.
These carefully conceived and timely executed investments
led us to deliver robust growth in fiscal 2020, including
record double-digit organic net revenue growth, and have
positioned our company for superior growth in the future.
Financial Performance
For fiscal 2020, Catalent delivered net revenue and
Adjusted EBITDA1 organic growth rates above the high-end
of our long-term targets of 8% and 11%, respectively.
Fiscal 2020 net revenue grew 24%, compared to
fiscal 2019 at constant exchange rates,2 to $3.1
billion, of which 12% was organic. Adjusted EBITDA
was $750.9 million for fiscal 2020, representing
constant-currency, organic growth of 14%, compared
to fiscal 2019. Adjusted Net Income per diluted
share3 was $2.11, compared to $1.81 in fiscal 2019.
We also strengthened our balance sheet in fiscal 2020
through several important financial transactions,
including raising more than $1 billion through two
public stock offerings. These strengthening actions
significantly reduced our net leverage ratio and
weighted average interest rate, while also extending the
maturity profile of our debt. We ended the year with
more than $950 million of cash and cash equivalents,
compared to $345 million at the end of fiscal 2019,
and reduced our net leverage ratio from 4.4x to 2.8x.
These actions provide Catalent with the flexibility to
invest for future growth, be it organic or inorganic.
Corporate Responsibility
In lockstep with the growth and evolution of our
business is the continuing integration of our corporate
responsibility commitments into our operations and
culture. In April, we published our first Corporate
Responsibility Report, covering fiscal 2019. It highlights
our commitment to a range of social and environmental
topics related to our business, such as product quality,
safety, environmental sustainability, and diversity
and inclusion. During these challenging times, I am
proud to report that, under our Catalent Cares banner,
participation in our Catalent Month of Service program
has doubled and the number of matching gift requests
has tripled since those programs were launched a few
short years ago. We have also significantly expanded our
corporate-level giving, helping with COVID-19 response
and disasters around the world, as well as patient- and
STEM-focused initiatives in our local communities.
In the spring, we were all deeply affected by the senseless
deaths of Black U.S. citizens. We stand with those who
seek a world without bias or harmful discrimination,
and we at Catalent will continue to put our hearts and
our actions into making our communities better and
more inclusive. In our Corporate Responsibility Report,
we shared that ethnically diverse talent represented
33% of our U.S. workforce, and that 44% of global new
hires were ethnically diverse. We will continue to train
our Talent Acquisition teams on diverse recruitment
tactics, including forging partnerships with diverse
professional organizations. We also took steps to
strengthen our ability to support diverse populations
within our ranks by reinvigorating or starting several
employee resource groups, including groups focused on
veterans, members of the LGBTQ+ community, Latinos,
women, young professionals, and employees of African
ancestry or of Asian or Pacific Islander ancestry.
I look forward to our second Corporate Responsibility
Report, covering fiscal 2020, later this year, which
will track our progress against environmental, social,
and governance metrics that align with the standards
set by the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board
for the biotechnology and pharmaceutical sectors.

LOOKING AHEAD TO FISCAL 2021
The start of every new fiscal year provides new
opportunities to deliver on our mission, while
strengthening our position as a company that powers
the innovation and growth of the life science industry
as a leading development and commercial partner
in advanced technologies, first-to-scale innovation,
integrated solutions, and new therapeutic modalities.
The total outsourced market in the areas in which we
participate is more than $50 billion and forecasted to
grow at more than 8% annually over the next five years.
A variety of trends are driving this growth, including
increased oral-dose outsourcing as big pharma shifts to
large molecules; the shortage of drug substance and drug
product capacity; the need for more complex formulations
in both large- and small-molecule drugs; and an increase
in orphan and fast-track drugs, which are more likely
to be outsourced to companies like Catalent with the
capabilities and capacity needed to improve patients’ lives.
Our portfolio allows us to participate in these large and
growing segments, and we will continue to reinvest at a
rigorous pace, adding new capacity and investing in new
modalities. In fiscal 2021, we will continue to realize the full
potential of our enhanced suite of biologics capabilities,
while strengthening and accelerating our base businesses.
We will also continue to focus on operational execution
and quality excellence as key differentiators. In the near
term, we are ensuring seamless business continuity and
a strong balance sheet to position Catalent in the best
possible way to navigate through these challenging times.
Our leadership team continues to execute our
strategic plans with urgency. In the first few
months of fiscal 2021, we’ve already announced
significant investments, including:
•
•
an additional investment of $130 million
at our flagship commercial gene therapy
manufacturing campus in Maryland to build
five additional manufacturing suites;
an investment of $50 million to install an
additional high-speed vial filling line at
our Bloomington, Indiana facility;
•
•
•
the expansion of our Argentinian site in Loma
Hermosa, Buenos Aires to handle highly potent and
active products for prescription softgel manufacturing;
a $30 million investment in our Limoges, France
facility to create a European center of excellence
for clinical biologics formulation development
and drug product fill-finish services; and
purchase of a 60,000-square-foot facility in the
Shiga prefecture of Japan to provide customers
with flexible clinical supply solutions.
Finally, we will continue to invest in the key enablers
that propel the growth of our business, while also
working toward the commitments made in our first
Corporate Responsibility Report, including minimizing
our waste and water impact and improving the carbon
intensity of the energy we purchase and the products
we manufacture. These enablers include operational
and quality excellence, commercial execution, scientific
innovation, information technology, and talent.
Our efforts to overcome the COVID-19 crisis have given
us some valuable insights into our business and our
resilience, ranging from new and more efficient ways
of working to the identification of emerging leaders.
We will not let these learnings go to waste. Our pride in
the work we are doing has galvanized our employees.
Our Patient First culture has strengthened. Our team
is literally working around the clock, for all of those
counting on us, be it for a potential COVID-19 vaccine or
treatment or the more than 70 billion doses of medicine
and consumer health products we produce every year.
On behalf of these employees as well as our
board of directors, I would like to express our
appreciation for your confidence in Catalent.

Corporate Responsibility
our values in action
Our corporate responsibility (CR) strategy aims to maximize Catalent’s positive contributions to society, while minimizing
risk and negative impact. The guiding lighthouse of our CR plan is our corporate mission to help people live better, healthier
lives, which is enabled by our deep belief in our values. We continue to invest in a corporate culture that understands and
prioritizes our impact on people in our operations and decision-making.
Our CR strategy stands on three pillars—People, Environment and Communities—and we have instituted a scorecard
approach to monitor how each of the business units and sites across the Catalent network contributes to meeting our goals.

Giving back to our communities by
investing our time, talents, and resources
to serve patients and promote science,

The milestone achievement of this past year was the publication of our first CR report, covering fiscal year 2019. The report
brings a new level transparency and ambition to a wide range of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) topics in
business areas such as product quality, safety, environmental sustainability, and diversity and inclusion. The CR report
also includes a discussion of Catalent’s adherence to the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board standard for the
Biotechnology and Pharmaceuticals sector.

Catalent’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic inspired a record level of giving for the company to local nonprofits,
especially healthcare centers and foodbanks, through community grants and a special 2-for-1 matching gift
program for employees
The annual Catalent Month of Service in November recorded a 50% increase in employee participation and
projects, reflecting the ongoing and growing interest of our people to give back to our communities
Our network of global employee resource groups, which are voluntary, employee-run groups that bring people
together based on shared characteristics, interests, and life experiences, grew from four in FY19 to seven in FY20
We made significant progress against our carbon reduction target through a combined approach of renewable
electricity energy sourcing and implementing approximately 60 site-based energy efficiency projects
We will publish our fiscal 2020 CR report in early 2021, which will highlight the achievements outlined above, as well as provide
additional updates on key ESG issues such as water and waste targets and our human rights policy and commitment.

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,” “future,” “forward,” “sustain” 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, 2020 (this “Annual Report”) and the
following:
•

Our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be adversely affected by global health epidemics,
including the novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic.
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. In addition, customer spending may be affected
by, among other things, the COVID-19 pandemic or recessionary economic conditions caused in whole or in part
by the pandemic.
We are subject to product and other liability risks that could exceed our anticipated costs or adversely affect our
results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, and cash flows.
Failure to comply with existing and future regulatory requirements could adversely affect our results of operations
and financial condition or result in claims from customers.
Failure to provide quality offerings to our customers could have an adverse effect on our business and subject us to
regulatory actions or costly litigation.
The services and offerings we provide are highly exacting and complex, and, if we encounter problems providing
the services or support required, our business could suffer.
Our global operations are subject to economic, political, and regulatory risks, including the risks of changing
regulatory standards or changing interpretations of existing standards, that could affect the profitability of our
operations or require costly changes to our procedures. In addition, changes to our procedures, or additional
procedures, implemented to comply with public health orders or best practice guidelines as a result of the
COVID-19 pandemic, may increase our costs or reduce our productivity and thereby affect our business, financial
condition, or results of operations.
The exit of the United Kingdom (the “U.K.”) from the European Union, particularly after the end of the current
transitional period, could have future adverse effects on our operations, revenues, and costs, and therefore our
profitability.
If we do not enhance our existing or introduce new technology or service offerings in a timely manner, our
offerings may become obsolete over time, customers may not buy our offerings or buy less of them, and our
revenue and profitability may decline.
We and our customers depend on patents, copyrights, trademarks, know-how, trade secrets, and other forms of
intellectual property protections, but these protections may not be adequate.
Our offering or our customers’ products may infringe on the intellectual property rights of third parties.

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. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic may interfere with the operations of certain
of our direct or indirect suppliers or with international trade for these supplies, which may either raise our costs or
reduce the productivity or slow the timing of our operations.
Changes in market access or healthcare reimbursement for our customers’ products in the United States (“U.S.”) or
other countries, including possible changes to the U.S. Affordable Care Act, could adversely affect our results of
operations and financial condition by affecting demand for our offerings or the financial health of our customers.
As a global enterprise, fluctuations in the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar, our reporting currency, against other
currencies could have a material adverse effect on our financial performance and results of operations.
Tax legislative or regulatory initiatives, new interpretations or developments concerning existing tax laws, 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, foreign tax credit carryforwards, and certain other tax
attributes may be limited.
Changes to the estimated future profitability of the business may require that we establish an additional valuation
allowance against all or some portion of our net U.S. deferred tax assets.
We depend on key personnel whose continued employment and engagement at current levels cannot be assured.
We use advanced information and communication systems to run our operations, compile and analyze financial and
operational data, and communicate among our employees, customers, and counter-parties, and the risks generally
associated with information and communications systems could adversely affect our results of operations. We are
continuously working to install new, and upgrade existing, systems and provide employee awareness training
around phishing, malware, and other cyber security risks to enhance the protections available to us, but such
protections may be inadequate to address malicious attacks or inadvertent compromises of data security.
We engage from time to time in acquisitions and other transactions that may complement or expand our business or
divest of non-strategic businesses or assets. We may not be able to complete such transactions, and such
transactions, if executed, pose significant risks, including risks relating to our ability to successfully and efficiently
integrate acquisitions or execute on dispositions and realize anticipated benefits therefrom. The failure to execute or
realize the full benefits from any such transaction could have a negative effect on our operations.
Cell and gene therapies are relatively new and still-developing modes of treatment, dependent on cutting-edge
technologies, and our customers’ cell or gene therapies may be perceived as unsafe or may result in unforeseen
adverse events. Negative public opinion, continuing research, or increased regulatory scrutiny of cell or gene
therapies and their financial cost may damage public perception of the safety, utility, or efficacy of cell or gene
therapies and harm our customers’ ability to conduct their business or obtain regulatory approvals for their cell or
gene therapy products, and thereby have an indirect, adverse effect on our cell or gene therapy offerings.
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 to increase the
funding level 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. These risks may be
increased in a recessionary environment, particularly as sources of capital may become less available or more
expensive.
Despite our high indebtedness level, we and our subsidiaries are still capable of incurring significant additional
debt, which could further exacerbate the risks associated with our substantial indebtedness.
Our debt agreements contain restrictions that limit our flexibility in operating our business.
Despite the limitations in our debt agreements, we retain the ability to take certain actions that may interfere with
our ability timely to pay our substantial indebtedness.

ITEM 1.
BUSINESS
Overview
We are the leading global provider of advanced delivery technologies and development and manufacturing solutions for
drugs; protein, cell, and gene therapy biologics; and consumer health products. Our oral, injectable, cell and gene therapy, and
respiratory delivery technologies address the full diversity of the pharmaceutical industry, including small molecules; protein,
cell, and gene therapy biologics; and consumer health products. Through our extensive capabilities and deep expertise in
product development, we can help our customers take products to market faster, including nearly half of new drug products
approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) in the last decade. Our advanced delivery technology
platforms, which include those in our Softgel and Oral Technologies, Biologics, and Oral and Specialty Delivery 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 74 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 and 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 invest in our sales and marketing activities, leading to growth in the number of active development
programs for our customers. This has further enhanced our extensive, long-duration relationships and long-term contracts with a
broad and diverse range of industry-leading customers. In fiscal 2020, we conducted business with 86 of the top 100 branded
drug marketers, 24 of the top 25 generics marketers, 23 of the top 25 biologics marketers, and 22 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 its lifecycle, from the development and launch of the original brand prescription, to
potential generics or an over-the-counter switch. A prescription pharmaceutical product relationship with an innovator will
often last many years, in several cases, 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 and other active ingredients to yield final formulations
and dose forms, and this generally results in the inclusion of Catalent in our customers’ prescription product regulatory filings.
Both of these factors frequently 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 more than 2,400
scientists and technicians and hold nearly 1,300 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
to develop and market differentiated new products that improve patient outcomes. We believe our leading market position 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 orally dissolving tablets, blow-fill-seal unit-dose liquids, adeno-
associated virus (“AAV”) vectors, and a range of other oral, injectable, and respiratory delivery technologies. The technologies
and service offerings within our development solutions platform span the drug development process, ranging from our
OptiForm Solution Suite for enhancement of bioavailability and other characteristics of early-stage molecules, and Gene
Product Expression (“GPEx”), GPEx Boost, 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 FlexDirect direct-to-patient and FastChain demand-led clinical supply solutions. 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 85 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, Zydis Bio, OptiPact, the OptiForm Solution Suite, and our FlexDirect, SupplyFlex, and
FastChain demand-led clinical supply solutions, as well as both clinical- and commercial-scale spray-drying formulation and
6
delivery services. Our customers use these solutions to advance their products, including the first commercially marketed
product using our OptiShell non-gelatin soft capsule technology. We have also augmented our portfolio through acquisitions. In
fiscal 2017, we expanded our early development capabilities through the September 2016 acquisition of Pharmatek
Laboratories, Inc. (“Pharmatek”), and we expanded our softgel development and manufacturing network through the February
2017 acquisition of Accucaps Industries Limited (“Accucaps”). In fiscal 2018, we acquired Cook Pharmica LLC (now known
as Catalent Indiana, LLC (“Catalent Indiana”)) in order to enhance our biologics capabilities. In fiscal 2019, we acquired
Juniper Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Juniper”), extending to the E.U. our early development capabilities, and Paragon Bioservices,
Inc. (now known as Catalent Maryland, Inc. (“Catalent Maryland”)), adding advanced gene therapy development and
manufacturing capabilities to our biologics business. In fiscal 2020, we augmented our gene therapy capabilities with the
acquisition of certain assets, including two advanced biologics clinical development and manufacturing sites in southern
Maryland, from Novavax, Inc. (“Novavax”) in July 2019; in January 2020, we acquired Bristol-Myers Squibb Company’s oral
solid, biologics, and sterile product manufacturing and packaging facility in Anagni, Italy (“Anagni”); and, in February 2020,
we acquired Masthercell Global Inc. (“MaSTherCell”), which develops and manufactures autologous and allogeneic cell
therapies for third parties and provides a variety of related analytical services. In May 2020, we agreed to acquire a clinical
packaging facility located in Shiga, Japan from Takeda-Teva Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and completed the acquisition on July 1,
2020. In large part due to our recent acquisitions and their subsequent organic growth, revenue contributions from our biologics
business have grown from approximately 10% in fiscal 2014 to 33% in fiscal 2020. 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, cell and gene therapies, and consumer health products.
The COVID-19 Pandemic
As a global development and manufacturing partner that supplies medicines, clinical trial materials, and consumer health
products to millions of patients and consumers, we have been taking decisive action to minimize the impact of the COVID-19
pandemic on our employees, partners, customers, and their patients. We have been declared an essential business by all the
national and local governments where we operate, allowing us to sustain full employment for our teams. Our operating facilities
have remained open and have continued to deliver to our customers and their patients. Our ongoing capital investments into
expanding our capabilities and capacity to serve our customers have been proceeding across our biologics, oral dose form, and
inhaled solutions platforms.
We have been awarded work on more than 50 COVID-19-related compounds from over 40 customers, involving each of
our business units, across a wide variety of antivirals, vaccines, diagnostics, and treatments for symptoms and effects of
COVID-19, including most of the major vaccine programs.
To address the multiple dimensions of the pandemic, two senior, multi-disciplinary teams reporting directly to our Chief
Executive Officer have been continuously monitoring the global situation, executing mitigation activities whenever and
wherever required, and planning for a phased and structured return to our facilities as circumstances will permit for those
employees who have been remote-working since the pandemic began. To help assure the safety of our employees and partners
and protect the supply of our products to patients, we have taken extensive actions, in line with guidelines issued by the U.S.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the World Health Organization (WHO), and local authorities where we
operate, to re-emphasize good hygiene practices, severely restrict non-employee access to our sites, reorganize our workflows
where permitted to maximize social distancing, limit our employees to only business-critical travel (where permitted by local
law), facilitate safer alternatives to travel to and from work, and employ remote-working strategies.
History
We trace our history to the founding of the R.P. Scherer Corporation in 1933, which developed the first rotary die
machine for the manufacture of soft gelatin capsules, and assumed our current form in April 2007. We regularly review our
portfolio of offerings and operations in the context of our strategic growth plan, and, as a result, we have sold eight businesses
and consolidated operations at five facilities, integrating them into the remaining facility network. In fiscal 2020, we sold our
facility in Braeside, Australia. We have also actively acquired new businesses and facilities. In July 2014, we completed the
initial public offering of our common stock, par value $0.01 (the “Common Stock”), which is listed on the New York Stock
Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the symbol “CTLT.”
We are a holding company that indirectly owns Catalent Pharma Solutions, Inc. (“Operating Company”), which owns,
directly or indirectly, all of our operating subsidiaries.

Our Competitive Strengths
Leading Provider of Advanced Delivery Technologies and Development and Manufacturing Solutions
We are the leading global provider of advanced delivery technologies and development and manufacturing solutions for
drugs; protein, cell, and gene therapy biologics; and consumer health products. In the last decade, we have earned revenue with
respect to nearly half of the drugs based on new molecular entities approved by the FDA, and over the past three years with
respect to more than 80% of the top 200 largest-selling compounds globally. With more than 2,400 scientists and technicians
worldwide and nearly 1,300 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 new chemical entities (“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. In fiscal
2020, we produced nearly 7,000 distinct items across multiple categories; our fiscal 2020 regulatory-based classification of
revenues demonstrates this: branded drugs (38%), generic prescription drugs (5%), protein, cell and gene therapy biologics
(37%), over-the-counter drugs (11%), and consumer health, veterinary products, medical devices, and diagnostics (9%
combined). In fiscal 2020, our top 20 products represented approximately 18% of our total net 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 85 countries, with 41% of our fiscal 2020 net revenue 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 drug and biologic customers.
Longstanding, Extensive Relationships with a Diverse Customer Base
We have longstanding, extensive relationships with leading pharmaceutical and biotechnology customers. In fiscal 2020,
we did business with 86 of the top 100 branded drug marketers, 24 of the top 25 generics marketers, 23 of the top 25 biologics
marketers, and 22 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 Advanced 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 and our 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 and
prefilled syringes. We also provide advanced biologics formulation options, including GPEx and GPEx Boost cell lines,
SMARTag ADC technology, and AAV vectors for cell and gene therapies. We have a leadership position within respiratory
delivery, including metered dose and dry powder inhalers and nebulized and intra-nasal forms. We have reinforced our
leadership position in advanced delivery technologies over the last five years, as we have launched more than a dozen new
technology platforms and applications, including the fiscal 2016 launch of our OptiForm Solution Suite, a dose form-agnostic
bioavailability enhancement program for early-stage molecules, the launch of development-, clinical-, and commercial-scale
spray drying services, and the recent acquisitions of Catalent Indiana, Catalent Maryland, and MaSTherCell, which expanded
our biologics business and extended us into cell and gene therapy. 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, 2020,
we had approximately 1,200 product development programs in active development across our businesses.
8
Long-Duration Relationships Provide Sustainability
Our broad and diverse range of technologies closely integrates with our customers’ molecules to yield final formulations
and 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 seven years with regular renewals of one to three years (see “—Contractual Arrangements” for more detail).
Approximately two-thirds of our fiscal 2020 advanced delivery technology platform net revenues (comprised of our Softgel and
Oral Technologies, Biologics, and Oral and Specialty Delivery 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 over time, and expect to continue to make, significant investments to strengthen our manufacturing
network, which is capable of serving customers and patients worldwide, and today employ 7.1 million square feet of
manufacturing, laboratory, and related space across four continents. We have deployed approximately $1.1 billion in the last
five fiscal years in gross capital expenditures, not including more than $3.0 billion spent in acquiring new facilities and
businesses. Growth-related investments in facilities, capacity, and capabilities 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 for 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”) or other applicable
requirements, following our own high standards that are consistent with those of many of our large global pharmaceutical and
biotechnology customers. We have more than 1,900 employees around the globe focused on quality and regulatory compliance.
All of our facilities are registered where required with the FDA or other applicable regulatory agencies, such as the European
Medicines Agency (the “EMA”). In some cases, facilities are registered with multiple regulatory agencies. In fiscal 2020, we
were subject to 50 regulatory audits, and, over the last five fiscal years, we successfully completed approximately 290
regulatory audits. We also undergo more than 500 customer and internal audits annually. We believe our quality and regulatory
track record to be a favorable competitive differentiator.
Strong and Experienced Management Team
Our executive leadership team collectively has nearly 600 years of combined and diverse experience within the
pharmaceutical and healthcare industries. With an average of more than 27 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”® Providing Solutions to our Customers across all Phases of the Product Lifecycle
We intend to use our advanced delivery technologies and development and manufacturing 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 early pre-clinical development of small molecules, protein, cell, and gene therapy biologics;
ADCs; formulation and analytical services; development and manufacturing of clinical trial supplies; to regulatory consulting.
Once a molecule is ready for clinical trials and subsequent commercialization, we provide our customers with a range of
advanced delivery technologies and expert manufacturing solutions that allow them to deliver their molecules to the end-users
in appropriate dosage forms, and to produce biologics drug substances needed for protein, cell, and gene therapy biologics. 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 with additional customers, through
potential generic launches or over-the-counter conversion. For prescription products, we are typically the sole or primary
outsourced provider and, as a result, are frequently reflected in customers’ new drug applications. Our revenues from our
advanced delivery technologies are primarily driven by volumes, and, as a result, the loss of an innovator drug’s market
exclusivity may be mitigated if we supply customers offering generic or biosimilar equivalents.
9
An example of this can be found in a leading over-the-counter anti-allergy brand, which today uses both our Zydis orally
dissolving tablets and our Liqui-Gels softgel technology. 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 of development, we then commercially supplied the prescription product in our Zydis orally dissolving tablets 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. Subsequently, 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, 28-year-long
relationship across multiple formats and markets.
Customer Product Pipeline — Continuing to Grow Through New Projects and Product Launches
We intend to grow by supplementing our existing diverse base of commercialized customer products with new
development programs. As of June 30, 2020, our product development teams were working on approximately 1,200 new
customer programs. Our base of active development programs has expanded in recent years from growing market demand, as
well as from our expanded capabilities and technologies through both internal investment and acquisitions. Although there are
many complex factors that affect the development and commercialization of pharmaceutical; protein, cell and gene therapy
biologics; and consumer health products, we expect that a portion of these programs will reach full development and market
approval in the future and thereby add to our long-duration commercial revenues under long-term contracts and grow our
existing product base. In fiscal 2020, we introduced 163 new products for our customers.
Catalent continues to be the global leader in providing analytical, manufacturing, and controls-based product development
services to the global pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and consumer health industries, driven by thousands of projects annually.
In fiscal 2020, we recognized $1,016.6 million of revenue related to the development of products on behalf of customers,
included in our Softgel and Oral Technologies, Biologics, and Oral and Specialty Delivery reporting segments, up 56% from
the prior year. In addition, substantially all of the revenue associated with the Clinical Supply Services segment relates to our
support of customer products in development.
Capabilities & Capacity — Expanding in Biologics and Other Attractive Markets
Recognizing the strategic importance of biologics, we began to build a differentiated biologics cell-line and formulation
development platform in 2002. Since then, we have invested over $3.0 billion in our biologics business, including capital
investments, the fiscal 2020 acquisition of MaSTherCell for an aggregate nominal purchase price of $323.3 million, the fiscal
2019 acquisitions of our gene therapy assets, including Catalent Maryland, for an aggregate nominal purchase price of $1.2
billion, and the fiscal 2018 acquisition of Catalent Indiana for an aggregate nominal purchase price of $950.0 million. Today,
we are a recognized leader in biologics, including AAV vectors for gene therapies; development for cell therapies; advanced
cell-line development; formulation, and fill-finish into pre-filled syringes, vials, and cartridges; specialized manufacturing of
biologic drug substance; and bioanalytical analysis. We have partnered with customers from around the world to develop
advanced cell expression for nearly 700 cell lines, many using our advanced GPEx and GPEx Boost technologies, and have
actively collaborated on developing and scaling up more than 70 cell and gene therapies. We have also invested in a second-
generation ADC technology, SMARTag, and we see continued progress in our customers’ SMARTag product-development
activities.
In addition to our expansion in biologics, we have invested additional capital in several other existing facilities in order to
expand in attractive markets, including a significant expansion of our oral solid controlled release production capacity in
Winchester, Kentucky, the scaling-up of commercial manufacturing capacity for metered-dose inhalers, and our
commencement of a $34.0 million capital investment to commercialize our next-generation orally dissolving tablet (ODT)
technology, Zydis Ultra. We have also added key new capabilities in early development via our fiscal 2019 acquisition of
Juniper and our fiscal 2017 acquisition of Pharmatek. We expanded our capacity for oral and injectable products via our fiscal
2020 Anagni acquisition, and for North American consumer health softgels via our fiscal 2017 Accucaps acquisition.
Advanced Delivery Technologies — Capitalize on Our Substantial Platforms
We have broad and diverse technology platforms that are supported by extensive know-how and nearly 1,300 patents and
patent applications in approximately 139 families across advanced delivery technologies, drug and biologics formulation, and
manufacturing. For example, we have significant softgel fill and formulation know-how, databases of formulated products, 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 delivery challenges for our customers’ products, 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
10
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 opportunities 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.
Operational Leverage — Deploy 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 leverage further 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 400
basis points. Note that “Adjusted EBITDA” is a financial metric that is not prepared in accordance with the accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), and that further explanations of this measure and
comparisons to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures are set forth below at “Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Non-GAAP Metrics.”
Strategic Acquisitions and Licensing — Build on our Existing Platform
We operate in highly fragmented markets in both our commercial supply and development solutions businesses. Within
the market for commercial supply, the ten top players represent approximately 39% of the total market share by revenue.
Within the market for development solutions, the five top players represent approximately 10% of the total market share by
revenue. Our broad platform, global infrastructure, and diversified customer base provide us with a strong foundation from
which to consolidate within these markets, to enter new markets, and to generate operating leverage through acquisitions. Since
fiscal 2013, we have executed 13 transactions, investing approximately $3.1 billion, 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.
Our Reporting Segments
In fiscal 2020, we engaged in a business reorganization of our operating segments to better align our internal business unit
structure with our “Follow the Molecule” strategy and the increased focus on our biologics-related offerings. Under the revised
structure, we changed the components and names of three of our four operating segments (with our fourth segment, Clinical
Supply Services, unchanged).
We currently operate in four operating segments, which also constitute our four reporting segments: Softgel and Oral
Technologies, Biologics, Oral and Specialty Delivery, and Clinical Supply Services, as further described below.
Softgel and Oral Technologies
Through our Softgel and Oral Technologies segment, we provide formulation, development, and manufacturing services
for soft capsules, or “softgels,” as well as large-scale manufacturing of oral solid dose forms for pharmaceutical and consumer
health markets, and supporting ancillary services.
Catalent’s softgel technology was first commercialized by our predecessor in the 1930s, and we have continually
enhanced the platform since then. We are the market leader in overall softgel development and manufacturing and hold the
leading market position in innovator drug softgels. 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 plant-
derived materials. Softgel capsules are used in a broad range of customer products, including prescription drugs, over-the-
counter medications, dietary supplements, unit-dose cosmetics, and animal health medicinal preparations. Softgel capsules
encapsulate liquid, paste, or oil-based formulations of active compounds in solution or suspension within an outer shell. In the
manufacturing process, the capsules are formed, filled, and sealed simultaneously. We typically perform 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 medications, and to
provide safe handling of hormonal, highly 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 plant-derived softgel shell,
11
Vegicaps capsules, consumer health customers 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 capsule 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.
Our large-scale cGMP manufacturing of oral solid dose forms typically includes late-stage clinical trial supplies,
registration batches, and commercial production across a broad range of formats, and may also involve finished dose packaging
or advanced processing of intermediates to achieve the desired clinical performance of the prescription or over-the-counter
pharmaceutical product. Finished dose forms include traditional and advanced complex oral solid-doses, including coated and
uncoated tablets, pellet/bead/powder-filled two-piece hard capsules, granulated powders, and other immediate and modified
release forms. Advanced intermediate processing may include coating, extrusion, or spheronization to achieve specific
functional outcomes, including site- or time-specific drug release, taste masking, or enhanced bioavailability. We have deep
experience at managing complex technical transfers of clinical or commercial programs, whether from Catalent’s early
development network in the Oral and Specialty Delivery segment, other contract development sites, or from customers directly.
Representative customers of Softgel and Oral Technologies include Pfizer, Novartis, Bayer, GlaxoSmithKline, and
Procter & Gamble.
Our Softgel and Oral Technologies segment represents 34%, 41%, and 45% of our aggregate revenue before inter-
segment eliminations for fiscal 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively.
Biologics
Our Biologics segment provides biologic cell-line, cell therapy and viral vector gene therapy development and
manufacturing; formulation, development, and manufacturing for parenteral dose forms, including prefilled syringes, vials, and
cartridges; and analytical development and testing services for large molecules. The business has extensive expertise in
development, scale up, and commercial manufacturing. Representative customers of Biologics include Eli Lilly, Teva, Mylan,
Roche, AstraZeneca, Novartis, Sarepta, and Genentech, along with multiple innovative small and mid-tier pharmaceutical and
biologics customers.
Our growing biologics offering includes cell-line development based on our advanced and patented GPEx technology and
the recently launched GPEx Boost, which are used to develop stable, high-yielding mammalian cell lines for both innovator and
biosimilar biologic compounds. GPEx technology can provide rapid cell-line development, high biologics production yields,
flexibility, and versatility. Our development and manufacturing facility in Madison, Wisconsin has the capability and capacity
to produce cGMP quality biologics drug substance from 250L to 4000L scale using single-use technology to provide maximum
efficiency and flexibility. Our fiscal 2018 acquisition of Catalent Indiana added capabilities across biologics development,
clinical, and commercial drug substance manufacturing, formulation, finished-dose drug product manufacturing, and packaging.
We have continued to expand production capacity in both Madison and Bloomington, Indiana, including a fourth drug
substance suite in Madison, and expanded drug product manufacturing and packaging capacity in Bloomington. Our SMARTag
next-generation ADC technology, based in Emeryville, California, enables development of ADCs and other protein conjugates
with improved efficacy, safety, and manufacturability.
From May 2019 through February 2020, we acquired several cell and gene therapy development and manufacturing
assets located in Maryland, Texas, and Belgium, and thereby entered into this fast-growing and innovative space. Our gene
therapy platform develops and manufactures products based on transformative technologies, including gene therapies based on
AAV and other modalities, next-generation vaccines, oncology immunotherapies (oncolytic viruses and CAR-T cell therapies),
therapeutic proteins, and other complex biologics. Our specialized expertise in AAV vectors, the most commonly used delivery
system for gene therapy, as well as capabilities in plasmids and lentivirus vectors manufactured using cGMP, positions us to
capitalize on strong industry tailwinds in the market for gene therapies. We also provide substantial expertise and expanding
capacity for the development and manufacture of autologous and allogeneic cell therapies for customers, as well as a variety of
related analytical services.
Our range of injectable manufacturing offerings includes manufacturing drug substance and filling small molecules or
biologics into syringes, cartridges, and vials, with flexibility to accommodate other formats within our existing network. Our fill
and finish services are 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. We believe that the complexity of the manufacturing
process, the importance of experience and know-how, regulatory compliance, and substantial capital requirements provide us
with a meaningful competitive advantage in the market.
12
We also offer bioanalytical development and testing services for large molecules, including cGMP release and stability
testing. In fiscal 2019, we launched OneBio Suite, which provides customers the potential to seamlessly integrate drug
substance, drug product, and clinical supply management for products in development, and for integrated commercial supply
across both drug substance and drug product. We provide the broadest range of technologies and services supporting the
development and launch of new biologic entities, biosimilars, and biobetters to bring a product from gene to commercialization,
faster.
Our Biologics segment represents 33%, 23% and 18% of our aggregate revenue before inter-segment eliminations for
fiscal 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively.
Oral and Specialty Delivery
Our Oral and Specialty Delivery segment provides advanced formulation development and manufacturing across a range
of technologies along with integrated downstream clinical development and commercial supply solutions. The technologies
cover a broad range of oral (including our proprietary Zydis orally dissolving tablets and many bioavailability enhancement
(BAE) technologies for both immediate and controlled-release tablets and capsules), respiratory and inhaled dose forms,
including blow-fill-seal, metered dose inhalers, dry powder inhalers, and nasal applicators. Representative customers of Oral
and Specialty Delivery include Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, Bayer, Perrigo, Roche, and Genentech but also many small and mid-
sized companies involved in the clinical development space.
Our oral delivery solutions platform provides comprehensive pre-clinical screening, formulation, analytical development,
and cGMP manufacturing at both clinical and commercial scale for both traditional and advanced complex oral solid-dose
formats. We have substantial proven experience in developing and scaling up orphan and rare disease oral products, especially
those requiring accelerated development timelines, solubility enhancement, specialized handling (e.g., potent or controlled
substance materials), complex technology transfer and specialized manufacturing processes. We provide spray drying, hot melt
extrusion, micronization, and lipid formulation capabilities, all of which may enhance a drug’s bioavailability and clinical
performance. We offer comprehensive analytical method development and scientific capabilities, including stability testing and
global regulatory filing services to support integrated development programs or standalone fee-for-service work. In recent
years, we have expanded our network of clinical development sites focused on earlier phase compounds (i.e., pre-clinical and
Phase I) to engage with more customer molecules earlier, with the intent to also support these molecules downstream as they
progress towards commercial approval. Demand for our offerings is driven by the need for scientific expertise, the depth and
breadth of integrated services offered, as well as the reliability of our supply performance across quality and operational
parameters.
We launched our orally dissolving tablet business in 1986 with the introduction of Zydis, a unique proprietary freeze-
dried tablet that dissolves in the mouth, without water, in typically less than three seconds. The platform is often used for drugs
that benefit from rapid oral dissolution and buccal absorption and for drugs for specialized patient groups, including geriatric or
pediatric populations, that have difficulty swallowing (dysphagia). We can adapt the Zydis technology to a wide range of
molecules and indications, including prescription treatments for a variety of central nervous system-related conditions such as
migraine, Parkinson’s disease, and schizophrenia, and also for a range of consumer healthcare products targeting broader
indications such as pain or allergy relief. We continue to invest in and develop Zydis orally dissolving tablets in different ways
with our customers as we extend the application of the technology to new therapeutic categories, including immunotherapy,
vaccines, and biologic molecule delivery.
Our respiratory platform provides integrated molecule screening, formulation development, and commercial
manufacturing services for inhaled products delivered via metered dose inhalers, dry powder inhalers, and intra-nasal sprays.
Delivery of these inhaled combination device products requires specialized capabilities to account for both the molecule and the
device, to ensure accurate repeatable dose delivery.
Our blow-fill-seal platform provides an advanced aseptic processing technology, which uses a continuous process to form,
fill with drug or biologic, 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 nebulized respiratory, ophthalmic, and otic products. We offer significant
manufacturing capacity and flexibility in dose form design and provide development and scalable solutions for unit-dose
delivery of complex formulations, such as suspensions and emulsions, for both small and large molecules.
Our Oral and Specialty Delivery segment represents 22%, 23%, and 20% of our aggregate revenue before inter-segment
eliminations for fiscal 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively.
13
Clinical Supply Services
Our Clinical Supply Services segment provides manufacturing, packaging, storage, distribution, 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 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 recent years, we have continued
to expand and extend our network, with significant expansions in Kansas City, Missouri and Singapore and new facilities in
China and, effective July 2020, in Japan. We are the leading provider of integrated development solutions and one of the
leading providers of clinical trial supplies. Representative customers of Clinical Supply Services include Merck KGaA, IQVIA,
Eli Lilly, AbbVie, and Incyte Corporation.
Our Clinical Supply Services segment represents 11%, 13%, and 17% of our aggregate revenue before inter-segment
eliminations for fiscal 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively.
Integrated 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 that
can be combined or tailored in many ways to enable our customers to take their drugs, biologics, and consumer 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, and to
distribution. The customer- and product-specific solutions we develop are flexible, scalable, and creative, so that they meet the
unique needs of both large and emerging companies and are appropriate for products of all sizes. We believe that our
development and product supply solutions, such as OptiForm Solution Suite and OneBio Suite, will continue to contribute to
our future growth.
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
2020, we did business with 86 of the top 100 branded drug marketers, 24 of the top 25 generics marketers, 23 of the top 25
biologics marketers, and 22 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 with the fast-paced over-the-counter
medication, vitamins, and personal care markets. These market segments are all important to our growth, but require distinct
solutions, marketing and sales approaches, and market strategy.
We follow a hybrid demand-generation organization model, with strategic account teams offering the full breadth of
Catalent’s solutions, and technical specialist teams providing the in-depth technical knowledge and practical experience
essential for each individual offering. Our sales organization currently consists of more than 160 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 our 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 universe of target customers, and that our brand identity is a competitive
advantage for us.
14
Global Accounts
We manage selected accounts globally due to their substantial current business and growth potential. We recorded
approximately 17% of our total revenue in fiscal 2020 from these global accounts. Each global account is assigned a lead
business development professional with substantial industry experience. These account leaders, along with other members of
the sales and executive leadership teams, are responsible for managing and extending the overall account relationship. Account
leaders 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 formulate, develop, analyze, test, and manufacture 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 these customers.
Seasonality; Fluctuations in Operation Results
Our annual financial reporting periods end on June 30. Our revenue and net earnings are generally higher in the third and
fourth quarters of each fiscal year, with our first fiscal quarter typically generating our lowest revenue of any quarter, and our
last fiscal quarter typically generating our highest revenue. 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 U.K., the seasonality
associated with pharmaceutical and biotechnology budgetary spending decisions, clinical trial and research and development
schedules, the timing of new product launches and length of time needed to obtain full market penetration, and, to a lesser
extent, the time of the year some of our customers’ products are in higher demand.
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, minimum volume commitments, royalties, manufacturing preparation services, profit-sharing, and fixed fees. We
employ a range of capacity access approaches, from standard to completely dedicated capacity models, based on customer and
product needs. We generally secure pricing and other contract mechanisms in our supply agreements to allow for periodic
resetting of pricing terms, and, in some cases, these agreements permit us to raise or renegotiate pricing in the event of certain
price increases for the raw materials we use to make products. 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. The terms of our manufacturing supply agreements range from three to seven 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 Oral
Technologies, Biologics, and Oral and Specialty Delivery 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, 2020, our backlog was $2,282.3 million compared to $1,349.8 million as of June 30, 2019, including $424.7 million
and $366.3 million, respectively, related to our Clinical Supply Services segment. We expect to recognize as revenue
approximately 72% of the value of the backlog in existence as of June 30, 2020 by the completion of fiscal 2021.
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.
15
Manufacturing Capabilities
We operate manufacturing facilities, development centers, and sales offices throughout the world. As of June 30, 2020,
we had 53 facilities (4 geographical locations operate as multiple facilities because they support more than one reporting
segment) on four continents with 7.1 million square feet of manufacturing, laboratory, and related space. In addition, in May
2020, we agreed to acquire a clinical packaging facility in Shiga, Japan from Takeda-Teva Pharmaceuticals, Inc.. The
acquisition closed in July 2020. 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 manufacturing facilities and development centers in accordance with cGMP or other applicable
requirements. All of these sites are registered where required with the FDA or other applicable regulatory agencies, such as the
EMA. In some cases, our sites are registered with multiple regulatory agencies.
We have invested $860.4 million in our manufacturing and development facilities since fiscal 2018 for improvements and
expansions, including $465.8 million for capital expenditures in fiscal 2020. We believe that our sites 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 2020, we achieved approximately 97%
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 and Oral Technologies
segment; packaging films for our Clinical Supply Services segment; and glass vials and syringes for injectable fill-finish in our
Biologics segment, and resin for our blow-fill-seal business in our Oral and Specialty Delivery 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 or geopolitical and other issues. For example,
commercially usable gelatin is available 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. Any future
restriction that were to emerge on the use of bovine-derived gelatin from certain geographic sources due to concerns of
contamination from BSE 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
periods.
We work very closely with our suppliers to assure continuity of supply while maintaining excellence in material quality
and reliability. 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 with multiple companies as to each of our offerings and in every region of the globe in which we operate,
including with other companies that offer conventional and advanced delivery technologies, clinical trials support, outsourced
dose form, biologics or cell and gene therapy 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 compete in
some cases with the internal operations of those pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and consumer health customers that also have
manufacturing capabilities and choose to source these services internally. Some of our competitors are substantially larger than
we are and have access to more substantial resources, which could be deployed to expand their range of offerings or capacity.
16
Competition is driven by proprietary technologies and know-how (where relevant), capabilities, consistency of
operational performance, quality, price, value, responsiveness, and speed. While we do have competitors that compete with us
in our individual offerings, and a few competitors that compete across many of our offerings, we do not believe we have
competition from any directly comparable company.
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 $2.6 million, $3.3 million, and $6.3 million for fiscal 2020, 2019, and 2018,
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 $61.2 million, $51.2 million, and $46.2 million for fiscal years
ended 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively.
Employees
As of June 30, 2020, we had more than 13,900 employees in 53 facilities on 4 continents: 22 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 seventeen of our European facilities consistent with labor environments and laws in European countries. Similar
relationships with labor organizations or national works councils exist at our plants in Argentina, Brazil, and Canada. Our
management believes that our employee relations are satisfactory.

The guiding lighthouse of our corporate responsibility (CR) commitment is our corporate mission to help people live
better, healthier lives, which is enabled by our deep belief in our values. We continue to invest in a corporate culture that
understands and prioritizes our impact on people in our operations and decision-making.
Governance
Environmental and social responsibility have always been integral to our core values. We established the Office of
Corporate Responsibility in fiscal 2017 and created a formal governance structure through our CR Council, which reports to the
Chair and CEO. Composed of members of our senior leadership, the Council oversees the implementation of our CR strategy
and commitments across our business.
Business benefits
Beyond being the right thing to do, our focus on CR strengthens our business by reducing risks, meeting customer and
investor expectations, and attracting top talent. CR performance is an important contributor to our business success. It informs
our risk management process, protects our reputation, and alerts us to regulatory, environmental, and societal threats to our
business. Our CR activities also align with many of our customers’ CR programs and strengthens our relationships.
Our future success depends on our highly skilled and dedicated global team of employees, who are passionate about
improving health outcomes. We compete for top talent in our industry and recognize that our culture and reputation as a
responsible company can be a differentiator for attracting job candidates and keeping our existing employees.
Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG) progress in fiscal 2020
Our CR strategy stands on four pillars—Innovation, People, Environment, and Communities—and we have instituted a
scorecard approach to monitor how each of the operating segments and sites across our network contributes to meeting our
goals.
Significant areas of progress in fiscal 2020, include:
•
Publishing our first Corporate Responsibility report, informed by the requirements of the Sustainability Accounting
Standards Board (SASB) for Biotechnology and Pharmaceuticals and covering ESG issues including:
17
◦
◦
◦
◦
◦
Quality,
Safety,
Environmental sustainability,
Diversity & inclusion, and
Community investment and philanthropy.
•

•
As part of our on-going commitment to the "CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion" pledge, growing our employee
resource group (ERG) network to seven. ERGs are voluntary, employee-run groups that bring people together based
on shared characteristics, interests, or life experiences.
Employing EDGE Strategy to conduct a formal gender equality workforce assessment for our U.S. operations and
expanded our global gender pay analysis.
After extensive work to establish a verifiable and calculable baseline, formalizing a target to reduce our carbon
emissions by 15% over the next five years, and thereby taking action to support global efforts to address climate
change.
Significantly growing employee and nonprofit participation in our suite of “Catalent Cares” community giving and
volunteer programs. A few highlights from the most recent fiscal year:
◦
◦
◦
Employee participation in Catalent Month of Service grew by 50% and engagement in our matching gift
program tripled compared to fiscal 2019.
Adjusting to the realities of social distancing required by the COVID-19 pandemic, Catalent "green" teams
took our annual Earth Month celebration on-line by organizing digital awareness campaigns; developing do-
it-yourself videos with “green” project ideas; and encouraging site-based initiatives, such as seed packet
distribution to employees.
Catalent and its employees donated approximately $500,000 to international and local nonprofits serving
communities affected by COVID-19, making the 2020 fiscal year the largest philanthropic year for Catalent
yet.
Looking ahead
Looking forward, we will expand our CR efforts and improve our performance in critical areas: We will assess how to
integrate our respect for human rights more fully into our policies and practices and bolster the auditing of social and
environmental standards in our supply chain. We commit to further developing our waste and water reduction strategies and
sharing targets in those important environmental areas in our next CR report. We will continue to grow our community
partnerships and employee-driven giving and volunteer programs, and will deepen our commitment to serving patients and
promoting STEM education, training, and job-placement in our communities.
Further information on our CR program is available at https://www.catalent.com/cr, but this website is not part of our
public disclosures and is not incorporated by reference into this Annual Report.
Intellectual Property
We rely on a combination of know-how, trade secrets, patents, copyrights, trademarks, and other intellectual property,
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
covered by 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 other 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 nearly 1,300 patents and patent applications worldwide relating to advanced drug delivery and
biologics formulations and technologies, as well as manufacturing and other areas relevant to our business.
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 other countries and intend to pursue
additional patents as appropriate. We have enforced and will continue to enforce our intellectual property rights in the United
18
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 and the provision of certain services for
development-stage pharmaceutical and biotechnology products are subject to extensive ongoing regulation by the FDA, other
U.S. governmental authorities, and regulatory authorities in other countries. Certain of our subsidiaries are required to register
for permits 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 U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (the “DEA”), the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services (the “DHHS”), the equivalent agencies of the European Union (the “E.U.”) and its member states,
and various state boards of pharmacy, state health departments, and comparable agencies in other jurisdictions, 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 U.S. 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.
We are also subject to various federal, state, local, national, and transnational laws, regulations, and requirements, both in
the United States and other countries, relating to safe working conditions, laboratory and distribution practices, and the use,
transportation, and disposal of hazardous or potentially hazardous substances. In addition, applicable 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 non-U.S. 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, national, 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
or result in claims from customers,” for additional discussion of the costs associated with complying with the various
regulations.
In fiscal 2020, we were subject to 50 regulatory audits, and, over the last five fiscal years, we successfully completed
approximately 290 regulatory audits.
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. We have nearly 2,000 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 as well as our 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 in all material respects. 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 national 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
19
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.

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
Our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be adversely affected by global health epidemics,
including the COVID-19 pandemic.
In January 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 pandemic to be a “Public Health Emergency of
International Concern.” COVID-19 has spread across the globe and is affecting worldwide economic activity. Any public health
epidemic, including the COVID-19 pandemic, may affect our operations and those of third parties on which we rely, including
our customers and suppliers. Our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be affected by: disruptions in our
customers’ abilities to fund, develop, or bring to market products as anticipated; delays in or disruptions to the conduct of
clinical trials; cancellations of contracts or confirmed orders from our customers; decreased demand for categories of products
in certain affected regions; and inability, difficulty, or additional cost or delays in obtaining key raw materials, components, and
other supplies from our existing supply chain; among other factors caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the
COVID-19 pandemic may affect the operations of the FDA and other drug regulatory authorities, which could result in delays
of inspections, reviews, and approvals of our customers’ products. Our operations could be disrupted if our employees become
ill or are otherwise absent from work as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Governmental restrictions, including travel
restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders, business closures, new safety requirements or regulations, or restrictions on the
import or export of certain materials, or other operational issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic may have an adverse effect
on our business and results of operations. We continue to monitor our operations and governmental recommendations and have
made modifications for an indefinite period to our normal operations because of the COVID-19 pandemic, including requiring
most non-production related employees to work remotely. Additionally, while the potential economic impact brought by and
the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic are difficult to assess or predict, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global
financial markets may reduce our ability to access capital, which could negatively affect our short- and long-term liquidity.
To date, the COVID-19 pandemic has not had a material impact on our business, financial condition, or results of
operations. However, the extent to which COVID-19 may affect our future results will depend on future developments that are
highly uncertain, including the duration of the pandemic, new information that may emerge concerning the severity of the virus,
and the actions governments, the pharmaceutical industry, competitors, suppliers, customers, patients, and others may take to
contain or address its direct and indirect effects. The COVID-19 pandemic and associated mitigation measures may also have
an adverse impact on healthcare systems, global economic conditions, or economic conditions in one or more regions where we
or our customers operate, which could have an adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
In addition, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic could exacerbate other risks we face, including those described
elsewhere in "Risk Factors."
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. In addition, customer spending may be affected by,
among other things, the COVID-19 pandemic or recessionary economic conditions caused in whole or in part by the
pandemic.
Our customers are engaged in research, development, production, and marketing of pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and
consumer 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, are
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, for these reasons or
because of the COVID-19 pandemic or its direct or indirect effects, 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.
21
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 with multiple companies as to each of our offerings and in
every region of the globe in which we operate, including competing with other companies that offer advanced delivery
technologies, outsourced dose form or biologics manufacturing, clinical trials support services, or development services to
pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and consumer health companies based in North America, South America, Europe, and the Asia-
Pacific region. We also compete in some cases with the internal operations of those pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and
consumer health customers that also have manufacturing capabilities and choose to source these services internally.
We face substantial competition in each of our markets. Competition is driven by proprietary technologies and know-
how, capabilities, consistency of operational performance, quality, price, value, responsiveness, and speed. Some competitors
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
customers’ requirements may render our offerings obsolete or non-competitive and could adversely affect our results of
operations and financial condition.
We are subject to product and other liability risks that could exceed our anticipated costs or 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.
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 $25.0 million. There can be no assurance that
a successful product liability or other 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 or result in claims from customers.
The healthcare industry is highly regulated. We, and our customers, are subject to various local, state, federal, national,
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 E.U. and its member states, and
other comparable agencies around the world, and, in the future, any change 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 or licenses, and may be required to comply, with the laws and regulations of the FDA,
the DEA, the DHHS, ex-U.S. agencies including the EMA, and various boards of pharmacy, health departments, or comparable
agencies in various jurisdictions around the world, 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, national, 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 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
22
sales, although our contracts generally place substantial limits on such claims. There can be no assurance that any such
contractual limitation will be applicable, sufficient, or fully enforced in any given situation.
In addition, any new offering or product classified as a pharmaceutical or medical device 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, national, and transnational regulatory authorities in the jurisdictions that regulate our offerings
and products. We or our customers may elect to delay or cancel anticipated regulatory submissions for current or proposed new
offerings or 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 or our customers with applicable law or
regulation 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.
Failure to provide quality offerings to our customers could have an adverse effect on our business and subject us to
regulatory actions or costly litigation.
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, or restrictions on our operations; monetary fines; or other civil
or criminal sanctions. 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 and Oral Technologies, Biologics,
and Oral and Specialty Delivery 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 economic, political, and regulatory risks, including the risks of changing
regulatory standards or changing interpretations of existing standards that could affect the profitability of our
operations or require costly changes to our procedures. In addition, changes to our procedures or additional
procedures, implemented to comply with public health orders or best practice guidelines as a result of the COVID-19
23
pandemic, may increase our costs or reduce our productivity and thereby affect our business, financial condition, or
results of operations.
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, our 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 mitigating measures may be unavailable, costly, or unsuccessful.
The exit of the U.K. from the European Union, particularly after the end of the current transitional period, could have
future adverse effects on our operations revenues, and costs, and therefore our profitability.
In June 2016, the U.K. held a referendum in which a majority of voters approved the U.K.’s exit from the E.U., and the
U.K. government withdrew in October 2019. There is no immediate change affecting our business in either the U.K. or the E.U.
as a result of this action, but the U.K. government is now engaged in both internal and external discussions with affected parties
and considering legislation regarding the changes that will result from the decision to exit. Five of our 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. These facilities operate within an existing framework of trade and
human capital integration with the E.U. and, by extension, the other parts of the world, with which the E.U. has trade and
immigration agreements. Furthermore, some of our facilities located in other E.U. member states ship materials to and from or
otherwise engage in various business interactions with the U.K., including our U.K. facilities. Due to future changes in the U.K.
resulting from its exit, including potentially increased trade barriers, increased tariff rates, or custom duties, 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 U.K.-based workforce. To the extent that our facilities operate as part of a cross-border supply and
distribution chain, their operations may also be negatively affected by a decrease in the cross-border mobility of goods and
services. 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 operations, 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 or buy less of them, 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 such technologies are
protected by patents, their related offerings may become subject to competition as the patents expire. Without the timely
introduction of enhanced or new offerings and technologies, 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.
24
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, know-how, 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, trademarks, and other intellectual property
laws, nondisclosure and other contractual provisions, and technical measures to protect many of our offerings and intangible
assets. These proprietary rights are important to our ongoing operations. There can be no assurance that these protections will
provide uniqueness or meaningful competitive differentiation in our 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 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, which may force us to compete with third parties,
thereby negatively 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 such proceedings 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 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 other 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.
License agreements with third parties control our rights to use certain patents, software, and information technology
systems and proprietary technologies owned by third parties, some of which are important to our business. Termination of these
license agreements for any reason could result in the loss of our rights to this intellectual property, causing an adverse change in
our operations or the inability 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 the patents on which our customers rely were successfully challenged and, as a result, the affected products become
subject 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.
25
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 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
certain other 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 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 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.
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. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic may interfere with the operations of certain of our direct or
indirect suppliers or with international trade for these supplies, which may either raise our costs or reduce the
productivity or slow the timing of our operations.
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, packaging films, glass vials and syringes, and resin. Also, our customers frequently provide to us their active
pharmaceutical or biologic ingredient for formulation or incorporation in the finished product and may supply other raw
materials as well. It is possible that any of our or our customers’ supplier relationships could be interrupted due to changing
regulatory requirements, import or export restrictions, natural disasters, international supply disruptions, whether caused by
pandemics or otherwise, geopolitical issues, operational or quality issues at the suppliers’ facilities, 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 and Oral 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 bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or 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.
26
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, or public sentiment towards our customers’ products in
the United States or internationally, or other changes in applicable policies regarding the healthcare industry,
including possible changes to the Affordable Care Act (the “ACA”) in the United States, could adversely affect our
results of operations and financial condition by affecting demand for our offerings.
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 that they purchase or the price they are willing to pay for these offerings. In particular, there is
significant uncertainty about the likelihood of changes to the ACA and healthcare laws in general in the United States,
including future legislation that may affect or put a cap on future pricing of pharmaceutical and biotechnology products. While
we are unable to predict the likelihood of changes to the ACA, any substantial revision of this or other healthcare legislation
could have a material adverse effect on the demand for our customers’ products, which in turn could have a negative impact on
our results of operations, financial condition, or business. Changes in the healthcare industry’s pricing, selling, inventory,
distribution, or supply policies or practices, or in public or government sentiment for the industry as a whole, 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.
As a global enterprise, fluctuations in the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar, our reporting currency, against other
currencies could have a material adverse effect on our financial performance and results of operations.
As a company with significant operations outside of the United States, certain revenues, costs, assets, and liabilities,
including our euro-denominated 2.375% Senior Notes due 2028, are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar,
which is the currency that we use to report our financial results. As a result, changes in the exchange rates of these 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 affecting the various currencies in which we do business, including as a result of the
U.K.’s exit from the E.U. Such volatility and other changes in exchange rates could result in unrealized and realized exchange
losses, despite any effort we may undertake to manage or mitigate our exposure to fluctuations in the values of various
currencies.
Tax legislative or regulatory initiatives, new interpretations or developments concerning existing tax laws, or
challenges to our tax positions could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
We are a large multinational enterprise with operations in the United States and more than a dozen other countries across
North and South America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region, and we do business with suppliers and customers in many
additional countries. As such, we are subject to the tax laws and regulations of the U.S. federal, state, and local governments
and of many jurisdictions outside of the U.S. From time to time, various legislative initiatives may be proposed that could
adversely affect our tax positions, and existing legislation, such as the 2017 U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “2017 Tax Act”),
may be subject to additional regulatory changes or new interpretations. There can be no assurance that our effective tax rate or
tax payments will not be adversely affected by these initiatives.
In addition, U.S. federal, state, local, and foreign tax laws and regulations are extremely complex and subject to varying
interpretations. We are subject to regular examination of our income tax returns by various tax authorities. Examinations or
changes in laws, rules, regulations, or interpretations by taxing authorities could result in adverse impacts to tax years open
under statute or to our operating structures currently in place. We regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting
from these examinations or changes in laws, rules, regulations, or interpretations to determine the reasonableness of our
provision for taxes. It is possible that the outcomes from these examinations or changes in laws, rules, regulations, or
interpretations by taxing authorities will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
Our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards and certain other tax attributes may be limited.
We generated net operating losses (“NOLs”) in the past that have been, and continue to be, used to reduce taxable
income. Utilization of our NOL carryforwards may be subject to a substantial limitation under Section 382 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue 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 Internal Revenue
Code and comparable provisions of state, local, and foreign tax laws, if a corporation undergoes an “ownership change,”
27
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 NOLs to reduce its post-change income may be limited. In addition, we acquired
companies that generated pre-acquisition NOLs for tax purposes that will also be subject to limitation under Section 382 and
comparable provisions of state, local, and foreign tax laws. 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 NOL carryforwards to reduce U.S. federal,
state, local, and foreign taxable income we produce in the future years may be subject to limitations, which could result in
increased future tax liability to us.
Changes to the estimated future profitability of the business may require that we establish an additional valuation
allowance against all or some portion of our net deferred tax assets.
We have deferred tax assets for NOL carryforwards and other temporary differences. We currently maintain a valuation
allowance for a portion of our U.S. net deferred tax assets and certain foreign net deferred tax assets. It is possible we may
experience a decline in U.S. 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 deferred tax assets, we may conclude that it is more
likely than not that some additional portion or all our deferred tax assets will not be realized. As a result, we may be required to
record an additional valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets, which could adversely affect our effective income tax
rate and therefore our financial results.
We depend 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 and enhanced offerings and technologies. The loss of any of these officers or other key personnel
or a failure to attract and retain suitably skilled technical personnel could adversely affect our operations.
In addition to our executive officers, we rely on more than 160 senior employees to lead and direct our business. Our
senior leadership team (“SLT”) is comprised of our subsidiaries’ 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 employ more than 2,400 scientists and technicians whose areas of expertise and
specialization cover subjects such as advanced delivery, biologics and gene and cell therapy 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; Baltimore, Maryland; Emeryville, California; Bloomington,
Indiana; Nottingham, U.K.; 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.
We use advanced information and communication systems to run our operations, compile and analyze financial and
operational data, and communicate among our employees, customers, and counter-parties, and the risks generally
associated with information and communications systems could adversely affect our results of operations. We are
continuously working to install new, and upgrade existing, systems and provide employee awareness training around
phishing, malware, and other cyber security risks to enhance the protections available to us, but such protections may
be inadequate to address malicious attacks or inadvertent compromises of data security.
We rely on information systems in our business to obtain, 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 more than one thousand customers;
create, compile, and retain testing and other product-, manufacturing-, or facility-related data necessary for meeting
our and our customers’ regulatory obligations.
manage the accurate accounting and payment for thousands of vendors and our employees;
schedule and operate our global network of development, manufacturing, and packaging facilities;
document various aspects of our activities, including the agreements we make with suppliers and customers;
compile financial and other operational data into reports necessary to manage our business and comply with various
regulatory or contractual obligations, including obligations under our bank loans and other indebtedness, the federal
securities laws, the Internal Revenue Code, and other applicable state, local, and ex-U.S. tax laws; and
28
•
communicate among our more than 13,900 employees spread across dozens of facilities over four continents.
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. Despite our security measures, however, our information technology
and infrastructure may be vulnerable to attacks by increasingly sophisticated intruders or others who try to cause harm to or
interfere with our normal use of our systems. They are also susceptible to breach due to employee error, malfeasance, or other
disruptions. Our results of operations could be adversely affected if these systems are interrupted or damaged or fail for any
extended period.
We engage from time to time in acquisitions and other transactions that may complement or expand our business or in
divestments of non-strategic businesses or assets. We may not be able to complete such transactions, and such
transactions, if executed, pose significant risks, including risks relating to our ability to successfully and efficiently
integrate acquisitions or execute on dispositions and realize anticipated benefits therefrom. The failure to execute or
realize the full benefits from any such transaction 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, 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, or divest assets or an ongoing business. We may face competition from other companies in pursuing acquisitions
and similar transactions in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry. Our ability to complete transactions may also be
limited by applicable antitrust and trade laws and regulations in the U.S. and other 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 expend substantial
amounts of cash, incur debt, or assume loss-making divisions as consideration. We or the purchaser of a divested asset or
business may not be able to complete a desired transaction for any number of reasons, including a failure to secure financing.
Any acquisition 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,
which may lead to operational inefficiencies.
To the extent that we are not successful in completing desired divestitures, as such may be determined by future strategic
plans and business performance, we may have to expend substantial amounts of cash, incur debt, or 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 remaining portions of the operations of the business to other facilities.
Cell and gene therapies are relatively new and still-developing modes of treatment, dependent on cutting-edge
technologies, and our customers’ cell or gene therapies may be perceived as unsafe or may result in unforeseen
adverse events. Negative public opinion, continuing research, or increased regulatory scrutiny of cell or gene therapies
and their financial cost may damage public perception of the safety, utility, or efficacy of these therapies and harm our
customers’ ability to conduct their business or obtain regulatory approvals for their cell or gene therapy products, and
thereby have an indirect, adverse effect on our cell or gene therapy offerings.
Cell and gene therapy remain relatively new means for treating disease and other medical conditions, with only a few cell
and gene therapies approved to date in the U.S., the E.U., or elsewhere. Public perception may be influenced by claims that cell
or gene therapies are unsafe, and cell or gene therapy may not gain the acceptance of the public or the medical community. In
addition, ethical, social, legal, and cost-benefit concerns about cell or gene therapy, genetic testing, and genetic research could
result in additional regulations or limitations or even outright prohibitions on certain cell or gene therapies or related products.
Various regulatory and legislative bodies have expressed an interest in, or have taken steps towards, further regulation of
various biotechnologies, including cell and gene therapies. More restrictive regulations or claims that certain cell or gene
therapies are unsafe or pose a hazard could reduce our customers’ use of our services. We can provide no assurance whether
legislative changes will be enacted, regulations, policies, or guidance changed, or interpretations of existing strictures by
agencies or courts changed, or what the impact of such changes, if any, may be.
29
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, national, and transnational
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, 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 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 we have not recorded reserves. We are conducting
monitoring and cleanup of contamination at certain facilities currently or formerly owned or operated by us, and such activities
may result in unanticipated costs or management distraction.
We are subject to labor and employment laws and regulations, which could increase our costs and restrict our
operations in the future.
We employ more than 13,900 individuals worldwide, including approximately 7,600 employees in North America, 4,900
in Europe, 900 in South America, and 500 in the Asia-Pacific region. Certain employees at one of our North American facilities
are represented by a labor organization, and national works councils or labor organizations are active at all of our European
facilities and certain of our other facilities consistent with local labor environments and laws. Our management believes 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 to increase the
funding level will reduce the cash available for our business, such as the payment of our interest expense.
Certain of our current and former employees in the U.S., the U.K., Germany, France, Japan, Belgium, and Switzerland are
participants in defined benefit pension plans that we sponsor. As of June 30, 2020, the underfunded amount of our pension
plans on a worldwide basis was $62.9 million, primarily related to our pension plans in the U.K. and Germany. In addition, we
have an estimated obligation of $38.6 million, as of June 30, 2020, related to our withdrawal from a multiemployer pension
plan in which we formerly participated. 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, or prevent us from meeting our obligations under our
indebtedness. These risks may be increased in a recessionary environment, particularly as sources of capital may
become less available or more expensive.
As of June 30, 2020, we had $3,057.3 million (U.S. dollar equivalent) of total indebtedness outstanding, consisting of
$938.1 million of secured indebtedness under our senior secured credit facilities; $1,875.6 million of senior unsecured
30
indebtedness, including $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2027 (the “USD 2027 Notes”), $450.0
million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2026 (the “USD 2026 Notes”), €825.0 million aggregate principal
amount of Senior Notes due 2028 (the “Euro 2028 Notes” and, together with the USD 2027 Notes and USD 2026 Notes, the
“Senior Notes”); $100 million representing the gross value of the remaining deferred purchase consideration related to the
acquisition of Catalent Indiana, and $142.2 million of finance lease and other obligations. In addition, we had $543.3 million of
unutilized capacity and $6.7 million of outstanding letters of credit under our $550.0 million secured revolving credit facility,
which is part of our senior secured credit facilities (the “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 of our Euro Notes;
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 one or more events of default under the agreements governing such indebtedness or, through cross-
defaults, in agreements governing other 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.
Our total interest expense, net was $126.1 million, $110.9 million, and $111.4 million for fiscal years 2020, 2019, and
2018, respectively. After taking into consideration our ratio of fixed-to-floating-rate debt, including as a result of our April
2020 interest-rate swap agreement with Bank of America N.A., and assuming that our revolving credit facility is undrawn and
LIBOR is above any applicable minimum floor, each change of 100 basis points in interest rates would result in a change of
approximately $0.7 million in annual interest expense on the indebtedness under our senior secured credit facilities.
Despite our high indebtedness level, we and our subsidiaries are still capable of incurring 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. In addition, as of June 30, 2020, we had
approximately $543.3 million available to us for borrowing, subject to certain conditions, under our Revolving Credit Facility.
If new debt is added to our subsidiaries’ existing debt levels, the risks associated with debt we currently face would increase.
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 Operating Company and those of its subsidiaries to which
these covenants apply (which Operating Company’s Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of May 20, 2014 (as
amended, the “Credit Agreement”) calls “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;
31
•
•
•
•
•
make certain investments;
sell or exchange certain assets;
enter into transactions with affiliates;
create certain liens; and
consolidate, merge, or transfer all or substantially all of our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries 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.
Despite the limitations in our debt agreements, we retain the ability to take certain actions that may interfere with our
ability to timely pay our substantial indebtedness.
The covenants in the Credit Agreement and in the several indentures governing our Senior Notes (collectively, the
"Indentures") contain various exceptions to the limitations they otherwise impose on our ability and the ability of our restricted
subsidiaries to take the various actions described in the prior risk factor. For example, if the notes have investment-grade ratings
and we are not in default under these agreements, certain of these covenants will not apply, including the covenants restricting
certain dividends and other payments, the covenants concerning the incurrence of indebtedness, and the covenants limiting
guarantees of indebtedness by our restricted subsidiaries. In addition, the covenants restricting dividends and other distributions
by us, purchases or redemption of certain equity securities, and prepayment, redemption, or repurchase of any subordinated
indebtedness are subject to various exceptions.
We are currently using and may in the future use derivative financial instruments to reduce our exposure to market
risks from changes in interest rates on our variable-rate indebtedness or changes in currency exchange rates, and any
such instrument may expose us to risks related to counterparty credit worthiness or non-performance of these
instruments.
We may enter into interest-rate swap agreements, currency swap agreements, or other hedging transactions in an attempt
to limit our exposure to adverse changes in variable interest rates and currency exchange 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.
Risks Relating to Our Series A Preferred Stock.
The issuance of shares of our Series A Preferred Stock reduces the relative voting power of holders of our Common
Stock, dilutes the ownership of such holders, and may adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.
On May 16, 2019, we filed with the Delaware Secretary of State a certificate of designation of preferences, rights, and
limitations (as amended, the “Certificate of Designation”) with respect to 1,000,000 shares of our preferred stock, par value
$0.01 per share, designating such shares as our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), and, on
May 17, 2019, we completed the sale of 650,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock to affiliates (the “Preferred Stock
Investors”) of Leonard Green & Partners, L.P. pursuant to an equity commitment and investment agreement, dated as of April
14, 2019, between us and certain of the Preferred Stock Investors. As of August 25, 2020, these shares represented
approximately 8.1% of our outstanding Common Stock, on an as-converted basis. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock are
entitled to a cumulative dividend at the rate of 5.0% per annum, subject to adjustment and payable quarterly in arrears. See Note
13 to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report (the "Consolidated Financial Statements").
The dividends are to be paid in cash or in-kind through an increase in the stated value of each share of Series A Preferred Stock.
Such holders are also entitled to receive, on an as-converted basis, whatever holders of each share of Common Stock may be
entitled to receive as a result of any declaration of a dividend on the Common Stock.
Under various circumstances defined in the Certificate of Designation, (a) holders of shares of our Series A Preferred
Stock may be entitled to convert such shares to shares of our Common Stock, (b) we may require all holders of such shares to
convert such shares to shares of our Common Stock, or (c) we may redeem all such shares for, at our election, cash or shares of
our Common Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock to which the shares of our Series A Preferred Stock may convert
or be redeemed is based in part on the stated value of a share of Series A Preferred Stock, in accordance with the terms of the
Certificate of Designation, so any increase in the stated value may lead to an increase in the number of deemed shares of
Common Stock held by the Preferred Stock Investors on an “as-converted” basis.
32
As holders of our Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote, on an as-converted basis, together with holders of our
Common Stock, on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of our Common Stock, the issuance of the Series A Preferred
Stock to the Preferred Stock Investors, and any subsequent increase in the stated value of those shares by a payment-in-kind of
the dividends payable thereon, effectively reduces the relative voting power of the holders of our Common Stock.
Any conversion of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock to shares of our Common Stock or redemption of shares of
Series A Preferred Stock for shares of our Common Stock would dilute the ownership interest of existing holders of our
Common Stock, and any sale in the public market of shares of our Common Stock issuable upon conversion or redemption of
the Series A Preferred Stock could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our Common Stock. We granted the Preferred
Stock Investors customary registration rights in respect of their shares of Series A Preferred Stock and any share of our
Common Stock issued upon any conversion or redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock. These registration rights would
facilitate the resale of such securities into the public market, and any such resale would increase the number of shares of our
Common Stock available for public trading. Sales by the Preferred Stock Investors of a substantial number of shares of our
Common Stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales might occur, could have a material adverse effect on the
trading price of our Common Stock.
The Preferred Stock Investors may exercise influence over us, including through their ability to designate, and the
ability of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock to elect, a member of our board of directors.
As of August 25, 2020, the outstanding shares of our Series A Preferred Stock represented approximately 8.1% of our
outstanding Common Stock, on an as-converted basis. In addition, the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock grant the Preferred
Stock Investors consent rights with respect to certain actions by us, including:
•
•
•
amending our organizational documents in a manner that would have an adverse effect on the Series A Preferred
Stock;
issuing securities that are senior to, or equal in priority with, the Series A Preferred Stock; and
incurrence of indebtedness to the extent such incurrence would cause our Total Leverage Ratio for any applicable
Test Period to exceed 6:00:1:00, determined on a Pro-Forma Basis (as such terms are defined in our Credit
Agreement).
As a result, the Preferred Stock Investors have the ability to influence the outcome of certain matters affecting our
governance and capitalization. The sponsors of the Preferred Stock Investors are in the business of making or advising on
investments in companies, including businesses that may directly or indirectly compete with certain portions of our business,
and they may have interests that diverge from, or even conflict with, those of our other shareholders. They may also pursue
acquisition opportunities that may be complementary to our business, and, as a result, those acquisition opportunities may not
be available to us.
In addition, the terms of that certain stockholders’ agreement we entered into with the Preferred Stock Investors (the
“Stockholders’ Agreement”) and of the Certificate of Designation grant the Preferred Stock Investors certain rights to designate
a director to serve on our board of directors, which director is elected by a separate class vote of the holders of shares of the
Series A Preferred Stock. For so long as the Preferred Stock Investors beneficially own shares of Series A Preferred Stock (or
shares of our Common Stock issued upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock) that have an aggregate value of $250.0
million, the Preferred Stock Investors have the right to designate one director for election to our board of directors. In addition,
for so long as the Preferred Stock Investors beneficially own shares of Series A Preferred Stock (or shares of our Common
Stock issued upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock) that have an aggregate value of $500.0 million, the Preferred Stock
Investors have the right to designate one observer to our board of directors.
The director designated by the Preferred Stock Investors is entitled to serve on committees of our board of directors,
subject to applicable law and stock exchange rules. Notwithstanding the fact that all directors will be subject to fiduciary duties
to us and to applicable law, the interests of the director designated by the Preferred Stock Investors may differ from the interests
of our security holders as a whole or of our other directors.
Our Series A Preferred Stock has rights, preferences, and privileges that are not held by, and are preferential to, the
rights of holders of our Common Stock, which could adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition, and may
result in the interests of the Preferred Stock Investors differing from holders of our Common Stock.
As holders of Series A Preferred Stock, the Preferred Stock Investors have the right under the Certificate of Designation
to receive a liquidation preference entitling them to be paid out of our assets available for distribution to stockholders before
any payment may be made to holders of any other class or series of capital stock, an amount equal to the greater of (a) the stated
value of their preferred shares plus all accrued and unpaid dividends or (b) the amount that such holders would have been
33
entitled to receive upon our liquidation, dissolution, and winding up if all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock had
been converted into shares of our Common Stock immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution, or winding up.
In addition, regular dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock accrue and are cumulative at the rate of 5.0% per annum,
subject to adjustment and payable quarterly in arrears. The dividend on each share of Series A Preferred Stock is to be paid in
cash or in-kind through an increase in the stated value of such share.
We are also required to redeem all shares of Series A Preferred Stock upon certain change of control events at a value per
share equal to the greater of (a) the sum of (1) the product of (A) the applicable Mandatory Redemption Multiplier (as defined
in the Certificate of Designation), multiplied by (B) the stated value of each such share, plus (2) all accrued but unpaid
dividends on such share, and (b) the consideration holders would have received if they had converted their shares of Series A
Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the change of control event.
These dividend and share redemption obligations could adversely affect our liquidity and reduce the amount of cash
available for working capital, capital expenditures, growth opportunities, acquisitions, and other general corporate purposes.
Our obligations to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock could also limit our ability to obtain additional financing or increase
our borrowing costs, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition. The preferential rights could also result in
divergent interests between the Preferred Stock Investors and holders of shares of our Common Stock.
Risks Relating to Ownership of Our Common Stock
Our stock price may change significantly, and a holder of shares of our Common Stock may not be able to resell such
shares at or above the price such stockholder paid, or at all, and could lose all or part of such investment as a result.
The trading price of our Common Stock has been and continues to be volatile. For the three years ended June 30, 2020,
our Common Stock price as quoted on the NYSE ranged from $18.92 to $80.52. The trading price of our Common Stock may
be adversely affected by a number of factors, such as those listed above in “Risks Relating to Our Business and 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 information furnished to the SEC;
announcements relating to or developments in litigation;
guidance, if any, that we provide to the public, any change in this guidance, or any failure to meet this guidance;
the availability of an active trading market for our Common Stock;
changes in the accounting principles we use to record our results 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, public health crises, including pandemics, 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 the individual actions of our stockholders.
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, a stockholder may
not receive any return on an investment in our Common Stock unless it is sold for a net price greater than was 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 on our Common Stock for the foreseeable future. Our board of directors has also
authorized a stock buyback program that we may use from time to time to purchase shares of our Common Stock. Any future
decision to pay a dividend in respect of our Common Stock, and the amount and timing of any such dividend, 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, such factors as they may deem relevant, including general 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, and contractual, legal, tax, and regulatory restrictions and implications on the payment of dividends
by us to our holders of shares of our Common Stock or by our subsidiaries to us. 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, a holder of a share of our Common Stock may not receive any return on
such investment unless it is sold for a price greater than that which was 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 Common
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 our 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 25, 2020, 13,676,027 shares of our Common Stock (including (a) the 13,218,874 shares of Common Stock
into which outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock can be converted (the “As-Converted Shares”) and (b) 453,653
shares of restricted stock and performance-based restricted stock issued pursuant to the equity incentive plans we have
established for our employees and non-employee directors), representing approximately 7.7% of the sum of our total
outstanding shares of Common Stock and the As-Converted Shares, are “restricted securities” within the meaning of the SEC’s
Rule 144 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. A registration statement in respect of the offer and sale of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and As-
Converted Shares by the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock is and remains effective.
In addition, as of August 25, 2020, 2,281,648 shares of our Common Stock may become eligible for sale upon exercise of
vested options. A total of 15,600,000 shares of our Common Stock were reserved for issuance under our 2018 Omnibus
Incentive Plan, subject to adjustment for retired and post-June 30, 2018 awards under the prior 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan.
As of August 25, 2020, 10,533,923 shares of our Common Stock remain available for future issuance under the 2018 Omnibus
Incentive Plan. These shares can be sold in the public market upon issuance, subject to restrictions under the securities laws
applicable to resales by affiliates.
35
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 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 or issuable 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 or to restrictions set forth in the
agreements governing our indebtedness, the Certificate of Designation, and the Stockholders’ Agreement. Any issuance of
additional securities in connection with investments, acquisitions, or otherwise may result in dilution to the holders of shares of
our Common Stock.
Anti-takeover provisions in our organizational documents could delay or prevent a change of control.
Certain provisions of our current certificate of incorporation and 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:
•
•
•
•
•
•
until the provision completely sunsets at our annual meeting in respect of fiscal 2021, 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 (though our board of directors has implemented shareholder proxy access);
certain limitations on convening special stockholder meetings;
the removal of directors serving multi-year terms only for cause; and
any amendment of certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation 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.
Provisions such as those just described, to the extent that they remain in effect, 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.

Our principal executive offices are located at 14 Schoolhouse Road, Somerset, New Jersey. As of June 30, 2020, we had
53 facilities (4 geographical locations operate as multiple facilities because they support more than one reporting segment),
comprising manufacturing operations, development centers, and sales offices contained in approximately 7.1 million square feet
of manufacturing, laboratory and related space. Our manufacturing capabilities include all required regulatory, quality
assurance and in-house validation space. The following table sets forth our facilities containing manufacturing, laboratory, and

ITEM 3.
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, and claims for reimbursement for the cost of lost or
damaged active pharmaceutical ingredients, 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 statements. In addition, the healthcare industry is highly regulated and government agencies
continue to scrutinize certain practices affecting government programs and otherwise.
From time to time, we receive subpoenas or requests for information relating to the business practices and activities of
customers or suppliers from various governmental agencies or private parties, including from state attorneys general, the U.S.
Department of Justice, and private parties engaged in patent infringement, antitrust, tort, and other litigation. We generally
respond to such subpoenas and requests in a timely and thorough manner, and responses sometimes require considerable time
and effort and can result in considerable costs being incurred. We expect to incur costs in future periods in connection with
future requests.

MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
The principal market for trading of our Common Stock is the NYSE. Our Common Stock trades under the symbol
“CTLT.”
As of August 25, 2020, we had 14 holders of record and 4 holders of record of outstanding shares of our Common Stock
and Series A Preferred Stock, respectively. This number does not include beneficial owners whose shares were held in street
name.
We did not declare or pay any dividend on our Common Stock in fiscal 2020 or fiscal 2019. We have no current plan to
pay any dividend 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 restriction, 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 the
Certificate of Designation 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—Liquidity and
Capital Resources—Debt and Financing Arrangements—Debt Covenants.”
Recent Sales of Unregistered Equity Securities
We did not sell any unregistered equity securities during the period covered by this Annual Report.
Purchases of Equity Securities
In October 2015, our board of directors authorized a share repurchase program, permitting the use of up to $100.0 million
to repurchase outstanding shares of our Common Stock. On August 27, 2020, our board of directors terminated this share
repurchase program. 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 or at any time since the share repurchase program was authorized by our board
of directors in 2015.

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, which appear elsewhere
in this Annual Report. 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. You should carefully read “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this
Annual Report. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this
Annual Report, particularly in “Item 1A. Risk Factors.”
Overview
We are the leading global provider of advanced delivery technologies and development and manufacturing solutions for
drugs; protein, cell, and gene therapy biologics, and consumer health products. Our oral, injectable, cell and gene therapy and
cell, and respiratory delivery technologies address the full diversity of the pharmaceutical industry, including small molecules;
protein, cell, and gene therapy biologics; and consumer health products. Through our extensive capabilities and deep expertise
in product development, we can 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 and
Oral Technologies, Biologics, and Oral and Specialty Delivery 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 74 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 and 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 fiscal 2020, we engaged in a business reorganization of our operating segments to better align our internal business unit
structure with our “Follow the Molecule” strategy and the increased focus on our biologics-related offerings. Under the revised
structure, we changed the components and names of three of our four operating segments (with our fourth segment, Clinical
Supply Services, unchanged).
We currently operate in four operating segments, which also constitute our four reporting segments: Softgel and Oral
Technologies, Biologics, Oral and Specialty Delivery, and Clinical Supply Services, as further described in "Business—Our
Reporting Segments" contained elsewhere in this Annual Report.
The COVID-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has spread across the globe and is affecting economic activity worldwide, including in the
countries in which we, our customers, our suppliers, and our other business partners conduct business. Governments in affected
regions have implemented, and may continue to implement, measures to protect public health, including quarantines, travel
restrictions, business closures, cancellations of public gatherings, and measures that affect the flow of goods between different
regions. We have taken and continue to take steps to avoid or reduce infection or contamination and otherwise protect our
employees and our business, in line with guidelines issued by the CDC, the WHO, and local authorities where we operate, to re-
emphasize good hygiene practices, severely restrict non-employee access to our sites, reorganize our workflows where
permitted to maximize social distancing, limit our employees to only business-critical travel (where permitted by local law),
facilitate safer alternatives to travel to and from work, and employ remote-working strategies. In addition, to address the
multiple dimensions of the pandemic, two senior, multi-disciplinary teams reporting directly to our Chief Executive Officer
have been continuously monitoring the global situation, executing mitigation activities whenever and wherever required, and
planning for a phased and structured return to our facilities as circumstances will permit for those employees who have been
remote-working since the pandemic began.
We have reviewed and will continue to analyze our supply chain to identify any risk, delay, or concern that may have an
impact on our ability to deliver our services and products. To date, we have not identified any significant risk, delay, or concern
that would have a substantial effect on such delivery. We have adopted various procedures to minimize and manage any future
disruption to our ongoing operations. These include procuring expanded safety stocks of raw materials and personal protective
equipment across our network, as well as ongoing monitoring of our suppliers’ stock levels to assure future deliveries. Our
existing procedures, which are consistent with cGMP and other regulatory standards, are intended to assure the integrity of our
supply against any contamination. We have added a detailed response plan to manage any impact of the virus on employee
42
health, site operations, and product supply, including immediate assessment of the health of employees reporting symptoms,
comprehensive risk assessment of any impact to quality, additional cleaning protocols, and alternative shift patterns to
compensate should fewer employees be available.
The COVID-19 pandemic has not had a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, or results of
operations to date, but, at this point, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may affect our future financial condition or
results of operations remains uncertain and will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain, including the duration
of the pandemic, new information that may emerge concerning the severity of the virus, and the actions governments, the
pharmaceutical industry, competitors, suppliers, customers, patients, and others may take to contain or address its direct and
indirect effects. The COVID-19 pandemic and associated mitigation measures may also have an adverse impact on the
healthcare systems, global economic conditions, or economic conditions in one or more regions where we or our customers
operate, which could have an adverse effect on our business and financial condition. We have observed some increases in
customer delays and cancellations, occasional increases in absenteeism of production employees in our facilities in certain
affected regions, and disruptions in certain clinical trials supported by our Clinical Supply Services segment, with a small
percentage of our customers expecting a reduction in demand and a larger percentage expecting an increase in demand, in each
case due to circumstances relating to the COVID-19 pandemic and the responsive measures. We have also seen revenue
increases and the potential for further revenue increases related to projects seeking to address the COVID-19 pandemic or its
effects. Future financial periods may reflect greater effects of the pandemic on the results of our operations.
See also “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business and Industry — Our business, financial condition, and results of
operations may be adversely affected by global health epidemics, including the COVID-19 pandemic” elsewhere in this Annual
Report.
Critical Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The following disclosure supplements the descriptions of our accounting policies contained in Note 1 to our Consolidated
Financial Statements regarding significant areas of judgment. Management made certain estimates and assumptions during the
preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. 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 our board of directors. A discussion of some of our more significant accounting policies and estimates
follows.
Revenue
We sell products and services directly to our pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and consumer health customers. The
majority of our business is conducted through manufacturing and commercial product supply, development services, and
clinical supply services. On July 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from
Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), codified as Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, using the modified
retrospective method of adoption. Prior period amounts have not been restated and continue to be reported in accordance with
our historical accounting policies. For discussion on the impact of adopting ASC 606 on our accounting, refer to Note 1 to our
Consolidated Financial Statements.
Our contracts with customers often include promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer.
Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for
separately versus together may require judgment. For our manufacturing and commercial product supply revenue, the contract
generally includes the terms of the manufacturing services and related product quality assurance procedures to comply with
regulatory requirements. Due to the regulated nature of our business, these contract terms are highly interdependent and,
therefore, are considered to be a single combined performance obligation. For our development services and clinical supply
services revenue, our performance obligations vary per contract and are accounted for as separate performance obligations. If a
contract contains a single performance obligation, we allocate the entire transaction price to the single performance obligation.
If a contract contains multiple performance obligations, we allocate consideration to each performance obligation using the
“relative standalone selling price” as defined under ASC 606. Generally, we utilize observable standalone selling prices in our
allocations of consideration. If observable standalone selling prices are not available, we estimate the applicable standalone
selling price using an adjusted market assessment approach, representing the amount that we believe the market is willing to
pay for the applicable service. Revenue is recognized over time using an appropriate method of measuring progress towards
fulfilling our performance obligation for the respective arrangement. Determining the measure of progress that consistently
43
depicts our satisfaction of performance obligations within each of our revenue streams across similar arrangements requires
judgment.
Licensing revenue
We occasionally enter into arrangements with customers that include licensing of functional intellectual property,
including drug formulae, or other intangible property (“out-licensing”). We do not have any material license arrangement that
contains more than one performance obligation. Our out-licensing generally entitles us to nonrefundable, up-front fees or
royalties. Nonrefundable, up-front license fees are recognized as revenue when the licensed property is made available for the
customer’s use and benefit, provided there is no unsatisfied performance obligation included in the arrangement. Royalty
payments from such arrangements are recognized when subsequent sale or usage of an item subject to the royalty occurs and
the performance obligation to which royalty relates is satisfied.
Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
We account for purchased goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives in accordance with ASC 350, 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. We perform an impairment evaluation of goodwill annually during the fourth quarter of our
fiscal year or when circumstances otherwise indicate an evaluation should be performed. The evaluation may begin with a
qualitative assessment for each reporting unit to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the reporting
unit is less than its carrying value. If the qualitative assessment does not generate a positive response, or if no qualitative
assessment is performed, a quantitative assessment, based upon discounted cash flows, is performed and requires management
to estimate future cash flows, growth rates, and economic and market conditions. In fiscal 2018 and 2020, we proceeded
immediately to the quantitative assessment, but in fiscal 2019 we began with the qualitative assessment. The evaluations
performed in fiscal 2018, 2019 and 2020 resulted in no impairment charge.
See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Series A Preferred Stock Dividend Adjustment Feature
The terms of the Series A Preferred Stock include a dividend adjustment feature to provide the holders with certain
protections against a decline in the trading price of our Common Stock. Because this adjustment feature depends in part on the
value of external metrics at future dates, over which we have no control, this feature is accounted for separately from the rest of
the Series A Preferred Stock as a derivative instrument, which is measured at fair value, as of the valuation date, using a
combination of (i) a Monte Carlo simulation and (ii) a binomial lattice model, which incorporates the terms and conditions of
the Series A Preferred Stock and is based on changes in the market prices of shares of our Common Stock over successive
periods. Key assumptions used in both models include the current market price of one share of the Common Stock and its
historical and expected volatility, risk-neutral interest rates, and the remaining term of the adjustment feature. The calculation of
the estimated fair value of the derivative liability is highly sensitive to changes in the unobservable inputs, such as the expected
volatility and the Company’s specific credit spread. We recognize the derivative as either an asset or liability in the
consolidated balance sheets at its fair value and revalue it as of the end of each quarterly reporting period; changes in the fair
value are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.
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 the corresponding 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. In fiscal 2018, we recorded a provision for U.S. income taxes and foreign
withholding taxes in relation to expected repatriations as a result of the 2017 Tax Act, but we have not made any provision for
U.S. income taxes on the remaining undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries as those earnings are considered permanently
reinvested in the operations of those foreign subsidiaries in fiscal 2020.
The 2017 Tax Act imposed taxes on so-called “global intangible low-taxed income” (“GILTI”) earned by certain foreign
subsidiaries of a U.S. company. In accordance with ASC 740, we made an accounting policy election to treat taxes due on
future U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI as a current-period expense when incurred.
We assess the realizability of deferred tax assets by considering all available evidence, both positive and negative, in
assessing the need for a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. We evaluate four possible sources of taxable income when
assessing the realization of deferred tax assets:
44
•
•
•
•
carrybacks of existing NOLs (if and to the extent permitted by tax law);
future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences;
tax planning strategies; and
future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards.
We consider 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 we would realize those deferred tax assets as a result of 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.
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.
Our accounting for income taxes involves the application of complex tax regulations in the U.S. and in each of the non-
U.S. jurisdictions in which we operate, particularly European tax jurisdictions. The determination of income subject to taxation
in each tax-paying jurisdiction requires us to review reported book income and the events occurring during the year in each
jurisdiction in which we operate. In addition, the application of deferred tax assets and liabilities will have an effect on the tax
expense in each jurisdiction. For those entities engaging in transactions with affiliates, we apply transfer-pricing guidelines
relevant in many jurisdictions in which we operate and make certain informed and reasonable assumptions and estimates about
the relative value of contributions by affiliates when assessing the allocation of income and deductions between consolidated
entities in different jurisdictions. The estimates and assumptions used in these allocations can result in uncertainty in the
measured tax benefit.
Factors Affecting our Performance
Fluctuations in Operating Results
Our annual financial reporting periods end on June 30. Our revenue and net earnings are generally higher in the third and
fourth quarters of each fiscal year, with our first fiscal quarter typically generating our lowest revenue of any quarter, and our
last fiscal quarter typically generating our highest revenue. 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 U.K., the seasonality
associated with pharmaceutical and biotechnology budgetary spending decisions, clinical trial and research and development
schedules, the timing of new product launches and length of time needed to obtain full market penetration, and, to a lesser
extent, the time of the year some of our customers’ products are in higher demand.
Acquisition and Related Integration Efforts
Our growth and profitability are affected by the acquisitions we complete and the speed at which we integrate those
acquisitions into our existing operating platforms. In fiscal 2018, we acquired Catalent Indiana in order to enhance our biologics
capabilities, and it has been integrated into our Biologics segment. In fiscal 2019, we completed the acquisitions of Juniper,
based in the U.K., in August 2018 and of a gene therapy business, based in the U.S., in May 2019, which have been integrated
into our Oral and Specialty Delivery and Biologics segments, respectively. In fiscal 2020, we completed the acquisitions of
additional U.S.-based gene therapy assets from Novavax, in July 2019, and MaSTherCell, based in Belgium and the U.S., in
February 2020, which have been integrated into our Biologics segment. We also completed the acquisition of the Anagni
facility based in Italy, in January 2020, which has been integrated into our Oral and Specialty Delivery and Biologics segments.
Foreign Exchange Rates
Our operating network is global, and, as a result, we have substantial revenues and operating expenses that are
denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, the currency in which we report our financial results, and are therefore
influenced by changes in currency exchange rates. In fiscal 2020, approximately 41% of our revenue was generated from our
operations outside the United States. Significant foreign currencies for our operations include the British pound, European euro,
Brazilian real, Argentine peso, Japanese yen, and the Canadian dollar.
45
Trends Affecting Our Business
Industry
We participate in nearly every sector of the global pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry, which has been estimated
to generate more than $1 trillion in annual revenue, 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. Innovative
pharmaceuticals continue to play a critical role in the global market, while the share of revenue due to generic drugs and
biosimilars 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 pharmaceutical and biologics product demand through
greater use of generic and biosimilar 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, support our belief in the attractive growth prospects for development solutions. Large companies
are in many cases reconfiguring their R&D resources, increasingly involving the use of strategic partners for important
outsourced functions. Additionally, an increasing portion of compounds in development are from companies that do not have a
full research and development 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
pharmaceuticals, biologics, 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.
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 Metrics
As described in this section, management uses various financial metrics, including certain metrics that are not based on
concepts defined in U.S. GAAP, to measure and assess the performance of our business, to make critical business decisions,
and to assess our compliance with certain financial obligations. We therefore believe that presentation of certain of these non-
GAAP metrics in this Annual Report will aid investors in understanding our business.
EBITDA from operations
Management measures operating performance based on consolidated earnings from operations before interest expense,
expense/(benefit) for income taxes and depreciation and amortization, adjusted for the income or loss attributable to non-
controlling interests (“EBITDA from operations”). EBITDA from operations is not defined under U.S. GAAP, 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 operations enhances an investor’s understanding of our financial
performance. We believe this measure is a useful financial metric to assess our operating performance across periods 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 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 without consideration of non-cash depreciation and amortization expense. We present EBITDA from 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 operations
may not be the same as similarly titled measures used by other companies. The most directly comparable measure to EBITDA
from operations defined under U.S. GAAP is net earnings/(loss). Included in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis is a
reconciliation of net earnings/(loss) to EBITDA from operations.
46
In addition, we evaluate the performance of our segments based on segment earnings before non-controlling interest,
other (income)/expense, impairments, restructuring costs, interest expense, income tax expense/(benefit), and depreciation and
amortization (“Segment EBITDA”).
Adjusted EBITDA
Under the Credit Agreement and the Indentures, the ability of 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 and “EBITDA” in the Indentures).
Adjusted EBITDA is a covenant compliance measure in our Credit Agreement and Indentures, particularly those covenants
governing debt incurrence and restricted payments. Adjusted EBITDA is based on the definitions in the Credit Agreement, is
not defined under U.S. GAAP, is not a measure of operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in
accordance with 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.
In addition, we use Adjusted EBITDA as a performance metric that guides management in its operation of and planning
for the future of the business and drives certain management compensation programs. Management believes that Adjusted
EBITDA provides a useful measure of our operating performance from period to period by excluding certain items that are not
representative of our core business, including interest expense and non-cash charges like depreciation and amortization.
The measure under U.S. GAAP most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA is net earnings/(loss). In calculating
Adjusted EBITDA, we add back certain non-cash, non-recurring and other items that are deducted when calculating EBITDA
from operations and net earnings, consistent with the requirements of 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 operations;
adds back any non-controlling interest expense, which represents minority investors’ ownership of non-wholly
owned consolidated subsidiaries and is, therefore, not available; and
includes estimated cost savings that have not yet been fully reflected in our results.
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per share
We use Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per share (which we sometimes refer to as “Adjusted EPS”) as
performance metrics. Adjusted Net Income is not defined under U.S. GAAP, 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
providing information concerning Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per share enhance an investor’s
understanding of our financial performance. We believe that these measures are useful financial metrics to assess our operating
performance from period to period by excluding certain items that we believe are not representative of our core business, and
we use these measures for business planning and executive compensation purposes. We define Adjusted Net Income as net
earnings/(loss) adjusted for (1) earnings or loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, (2) amortization attributable to
purchase accounting, and (3) income or loss from non-controlling interest in majority-owned operations. We also make
adjustments for other cash and non-cash items (as shown above, in “—Adjusted EBITDA”), partially offset by our estimate of
the tax effects as a result of such cash and non-cash items. Our definition of Adjusted Net Income may not be the same as
similarly titled measures used by other companies. Adjusted Net Income per share is computed by dividing Adjusted Net
Income by the weighted average diluted shares outstanding.
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, 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 $612.2 million, or 24%, excluding the impact of foreign exchange, compared to the twelve
months ended June 30, 2019. Net revenue increased 14% as a result of acquisitions, which was partially offset by a 2% decrease
in net revenue due to a facility divestiture. We acquired Juniper in August 2018, various gene therapy assets in May and July
2019, the Anagni facility in January 2020, and MaSTherCell in February 2020 and divested a manufacturing site in Australia in
October 2019. Net revenue increased 12% without the impact of acquisitions and divestitures on a constant currency basis,
primarily related to volume increases across all of our segments.
48
Gross Margin
Gross margin increased by $188.1 million, or 23%, in fiscal 2020 compared to fiscal 2019, excluding the impact of
foreign exchange, primarily as a result of our acquisitions and increased volumes as discussed above. On a constant-currency
basis, gross margin, as a percentage of net revenue, decreased 10 basis points to 31.8% in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020,
compared to 31.9% in the corresponding prior-year period, primarily due to recent acquisitions.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expense
Selling, general, and administrative expense increased by $68.9 million, or 13%, in fiscal 2020 compared to fiscal 2019,
excluding the impact of foreign exchange, primarily driven by acquisition-related expenses during the year, including
transaction fees of $5.9 million related to the acquisitions of our gene therapy business, Anagni and MaSTherCell. Additionally,
there were incremental selling, general, and administrative expenses from the acquired companies of $80.9 million, primarily
driven by $28.0 million of depreciation and amortization expense and $21.7 million of employee-related costs. Selling, general,
and administrative expenses further increased approximately $11.3 million for non-cash equity-based compensation driven by
the achievement of certain performance-based metrics during the fiscal year. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in
amortization expense attributable to prior-year amortization of $13.0 million related to licensing rights within our Oral and
Specialty Delivery segment and a $3.1 million decrease related to the October 2019 divestiture of an Australian facility within
our Softgel and Oral Technologies segment.
Impairment Charges and Loss on Sale of Assets
Impairment charges for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019 were $5.5 million and $5.1 million,
respectively. Impairment charges in the current year were primarily driven by the sale of the Company’s facility in Braeside,
Australia. The prior year impairment charges were driven by a software-related intangible asset in our Clinical Supply Services
segment that was not implemented and whose value therefore was not fully recoverable.
Restructuring and Other
Restructuring and other charges of $5.5 million in fiscal 2020 decreased by $8.6 million compared to the amounts in
fiscal 2019 and were driven by employee-related actions. Restructuring expenses varies period-to-period based on site
consolidation efforts and other efforts to further streamline the business.
Interest Expense, net
Interest expense, net, of $126.1 million in fiscal 2020 increased by $15.5 million, or 14%, compared to fiscal 2019,
excluding the impact of foreign exchange, primarily driven by an increase in outstanding indebtedness driven by Operating
Company’s June 2019 offering of the USD 2027 Notes and its February 2020 offering of the Euro 2028 Notes. The increase
was partially offset by savings in both interest paid and in interest rate due to repayment of Operating Company’s euro-
denominated term loans and euro-denominated 4.75% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “Euro 2024 Notes”).
For additional information concerning our debt and financing arrangements, including the changing mix of debt and
equity in our capital structure, see “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Debt and Financing Arrangements” and Note 7 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements.
A component of the purchase price for the acquisition of Catalent Indiana in fiscal 2018 consisted of $200.0 million in
deferred purchase consideration payable in four annual $50.0 million installments on the first four anniversary dates of the
acquisition. We made the two first such payments in October 2018 and October 2019, and the present value of the balance is
accounted for as debt, with the difference between the nominal value and the present value considered imputed interest expense.
Other Expense, net
Other expense, net of $7.9 million for fiscal 2020 was primarily driven by financing charges of $16.3 million. The
financing charges included a $6.3 million write-off of previously capitalized financing charges related to Operating Company’s
recently repaid euro-denominated term loan under its senior secured credit facilities and the recently redeemed Euro 2024
Notes, and a $10.0 million premium on early redemption of the Euro 2024 Notes. The loss was partially offset by a foreign
currency gain of $3.0 million and a derivative gain of $3.2 million related to the change in the fair value of the derivative
liability arising from the dividend adjustment mechanism of the Series A Preferred Stock.
Other expense, net for fiscal 2019 of $2.7 million was primarily driven by financing charges of $15.8 million related to
the offering of the USD 2027 Notes and was partially offset by a gain of $12.9 million related to the change in the fair value of
the derivative liability arising from the dividend adjustment mechanism of the Series A Preferred Stock and $0.5 million of
49
unrealized foreign currency gains in the year. See Notes 9 and 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statement for more details on
the Series A Preferred Stock dividend adjustment.
Provision/(Benefit) for Income Taxes
Our provision for income taxes for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 was $39.7 million relative to earnings before
income taxes of $260.4 million. Our provision for income taxes for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 was $22.9 million
relative to earnings before income taxes of $160.3 million. The income tax provision for the current period is not comparable to
the same period of the prior year primarily due to changes in pretax income over many jurisdictions, as well as the impact of
discrete items, including equity compensation. Generally, fluctuations in our effective tax rate are due to changes in the
geographic distribution of our 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, including the reversal portions of federal and foreign
valuation allowances, which may have unique tax implications depending on the nature of the item.

Net revenue in our Softgel and Oral Technologies segment increased by $44.1 million, or 4%, compared to the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2019, excluding the impact of foreign exchange. Net revenue increased 8%, compared to the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2019, excluding the impact of divestitures. The increase relates to continued strong demand across our portfolio of
prescription products within North America, which is partially attributable to recently launched products. Demand for our
portfolio of consumer health products continues, predominantly within Europe.
Softgel and Oral Technologies’ Segment EBITDA increased by $24.7 million, or 10%, compared to the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2019, excluding the impact of foreign exchange. Segment EBITDA increased 13%, compared to the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2019, excluding the impact of divestitures. The increase primarily relates to the demand increase across our portfolio
of higher-margin, prescription products within North America as well as our consumer health business, in line with the revenue
growth within Europe.

2019, excluding the impact of foreign exchange. Excluding the effect of acquisitions, the net revenue increase was driven
primarily by strong end-market demand for our U.S. drug product and U.S. drug substance offerings, with the former being
delivered through improved capacity utilization. Additional site readiness activities related to COVID-19 vaccination programs
across our gene therapy, U.S. drug product, and U.S. drug substance offerings also contributed towards the net revenue
increase. Drug substance growth was partially offset by the fiscal 2019 completion of a limited duration customer contract for
non-cell line clinical manufacturing services as well as softening demand for our European drug product offering.
Biologics' Segment EBITDA increased by $91.4 million, or 62%, compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019,
excluding the impact of foreign exchange. Segment EBITDA, excluding the effect of acquisitions, increased 26% from the
corresponding prior-year period, primarily due to increased demand for our U.S. drug product offering as well as site readiness
activities related to COVID-19 vaccination programs across our gene therapy, U.S. drug product, and U.S. drug substance
offerings. Segment EBITDA growth was partially offset by decreased volume for our U.S. drug substance product offering,
predominantly due to the fiscal 2019 completion of a limited duration customer contract for non-cell line clinical manufacturing
services and softening demand for our European drug product offering.
Beginning in May 2019, we acquired the assets comprising our gene therapy business, in January 2020, we acquired the
Anagni facility, part of which operates within the Biologics segment, and, in February 2020, we acquired MaSTherCell.
Together these acquisitions increased net revenue and Segment EBITDA on an inorganic basis in our Biologics segment by
52% and 36%, respectively, in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 compared to the corresponding prior-year period.

Net revenue in our Oral and Specialty Delivery segment increased by $83.5 million, or 14%, compared to the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2019, excluding the impact of foreign exchange. Excluding the effect of acquisitions, the increase was
principally attributable to new product launches within our respiratory and ophthalmic specialty platform. Strong end-market
demand for prescription oral commercial products across North America and Europe also contributed towards the net revenue
increase. Revenue growth was partially offset by a prior-year favorable impact of a one-time up-front license fee as well as
decreased volume in our respiratory and ophthalmic specialty platform, due to strong prior-year demand, related to an
anticipated new product introduction.
Oral and Specialty Delivery’s Segment EBITDA increased by $28.0 million, or 16%, compared to the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2019, excluding the impact of foreign exchange. Segment EBITDA without acquisitions increased 10%, primarily due
52
to new product launches within our respiratory and ophthalmic specialty platform. Strong end-market demand for higher-
margin oral commercial products across North America and Europe also contributed towards the Segment EBITDA increase.
EBITDA growth was partially offset by a prior-year favorable impact of a one-time up-front license fee and decreased volume
in our respiratory and ophthalmic specialty platform due to strong prior-year demand, related to an anticipated new product
introduction.
On an inorganic basis, our Juniper and Anagni facility acquisitions together increased net revenue and Segment EBITDA
in our Oral and Specialty Delivery segment by 7% and 6%, respectively, in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 compared to the

distribution and manufacturing and packaging businesses despite a measured slowdown in the distribution volume in the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Clinical Supply Services' Segment EBITDA increased by $8.7 million, or 10%, compared to the fiscal year ended June

Net revenue in our Softgel and Oral Technologies segment decreased by $38.6 million, or 4%, compared to the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2018, excluding the impact of foreign exchange. Excluding the impact of divestitures, net revenue decreased by
3%, compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in net revenue without divestitures on a constant-currency
basis was primarily driven by lower end-market demand for a key product within our U.S.-based commercial oral technologies
solutions platform and a decrease of 1%, across our North America and Latin America consumer health business, resulting from
a shortage in ibuprofen active pharmaceutical ingredient supply during the first nine months of fiscal 2019, which was resolved
in the fourth fiscal quarter. This was partially offset by volume increases across our consumer health business within Europe.
Softgel and Oral Technologies’ Segment EBITDA decreased by $31.2 million, or 11%, compared to the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2018, excluding the impact of foreign exchange. Excluding the reduction of licensing revenue profit of 1%, Segment
EBITDA excluding divestitures decreased 10%. The decrease was primarily driven by lower end-market demand for a key
product within our U.S.-based commercial oral technologies solutions platform and a decrease in Segment EBITDA of 2%,
across our North America and Latin America consumer health business, resulting from a shortage in ibuprofen active
pharmaceutical ingredient supply during the first nine months of fiscal 2019, which was resolved in the fourth fiscal quarter.
This was partially offset by volume increases across our consumer health business within Europe.
In December 2017, we divested two manufacturing sites in Asia-Pacific in the Softgel and Oral Technologies segment in
order to better streamline our global operations. The site divestitures resulted in a decrease to net revenue of 1% with no impact
to Segment EBITDA in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018.

Net revenue in our Biologics segment increased by $142.7 million, or 33%, compared to the fiscal year ended June 30,

primarily by increased end-market demand for our drug product offerings, offset slightly by decreased volume demand related
to our U.S. drug substance product offering due to the fiscal 2019 completion of a limited duration customer contract for non-
cell line clinical manufacturing services.
Biologics' Segment EBITDA increased by $37.1 million, or 33%, compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018,
excluding the impact of foreign exchange. Segment EBITDA, excluding the impact of acquisitions, increased 1% from the
corresponding prior-year period, primarily due to strong U.S drug product demand, partially offset by the fiscal 2019
completion of a limited duration customer contract for non-cell line clinical manufacturing services in our U.S. drug substance
platform as well as unfavorable product mix in our European specialty drug product platform.
On an inorganic basis, our Catalent Indiana and Catalent Maryland acquisitions together increased net revenue and
Segment EBITDA in our Biologics segment by 24% and 32%, respectively, in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 compared to
the corresponding prior-year period.

Net revenue in our Oral and Specialty Delivery segment increased by $101.9 million, or 20%, compared to the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2018, excluding the impact of foreign exchange. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, the net revenue increase
related to the intake of new molecules within our development and analytical services platform, the completion of a
commercially ready process for a key product within our U.S.-based oral delivery solutions platform, and a favorable impact
from licensing revenue recorded during the third quarter. The favorable impact of licensing revenue in the third quarter was
attributable to a single transaction, which consisted of a grant to a third party of the Company’s right to participate in an
arrangement that resulted in a stream of revenue over time in exchange for a one-time up-front license fee.
Oral and Specialty Delivery’s Segment EBITDA increased by $48.6 million, or 37%, compared to the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2018, excluding the impact of foreign exchange. Segment EBITDA without acquisitions increased 17%, primarily due
to an increase in volume related to the intake of new molecules within our development and analytical services platform, the
completion of a commercially ready process for a key product within our U.S.-based oral delivery solutions platform, and a
favorable impact from licensing revenue recorded during the third quarter. The favorable impact of licensing revenue in the

Net revenue in our Clinical Supply Services segment decreased by $102.7 million, or 24%, compared to the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2018, excluding the impact of foreign exchange. As a result of the adoption of ASC 606, the Company recorded
comparator sourcing arrangements on a net basis versus a gross basis, resulting in a decrease to net revenue of 25%, partially
offset by an increase in revenue primarily due to higher comparator sourcing volume, as well as growth within our storage and
distribution and manufacturing and packaging businesses.
Clinical Supply Services' Segment EBITDA increased by $10.9 million, or 14%, compared to the fiscal year ended June
30, 2018, excluding the impact of foreign exchange. The increase was primarily due to a favorable shift within the storage and
distribution business, increased growth in project management revenue, and improved capacity utilization across the network
based on prior strategic investments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources and use of Cash
Our principal source of liquidity has been cash flow generated from operations and the net proceeds of capital market
activities. The principal uses of cash are to fund operating and capital expenditures, business or asset acquisitions, interest
payments on debt, the payment of deferred purchase consideration from the Catalent Indiana acquisition, the payment of the
quarterly dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock, and any mandatory or discretionary principal payment on our debt. At the
current stated value of the Series A Preferred Stock outstanding as of June 30, 2020, the aggregate amount of each regular
quarterly dividend, if paid in cash, is $8.1 million. As of June 30, 2020, Operating Company had available a $550.0 million
revolving credit facility that matures in May 2024, the capacity of which is reduced by the amount of all outstanding letters of
credit issued under the senior secured credit facilities and those short-term borrowings referred to as swing-line borrowings. At
June 30, 2020, we had $6.7 million of outstanding letters of credit and no outstanding borrowing under our revolving credit
facility.
We believe that our cash on hand, cash from operations, and available borrowings under our revolving credit facility will
be adequate to meet our future liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months, including with respect to payment of our
quarterly regular dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock, if paid in cash, and the amounts expected to become due with
respect to our pending capital projects. We have no significant maturity under any of our bank or note debt until the USD 2026
Notes mature in January 2026. As of June 30, 2020, we have only two remaining payments of $50.0 million each, due in
October 2020 and 2021, on the deferred purchase consideration for the acquisition of Catalent Indiana.

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, cash provided by operating activities was $440.3 million, an increase of $192.6
million compared to $247.7 million for the comparable prior-year period. Cash flow from operating activities for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2020 increased primarily due to an increase in operating earnings, which increased from $273.9 million in fiscal
2019 to $394.4 million in fiscal 2020.
Investing Activities
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, cash used in investing activities was $827.5 million compared to $1,510.4 million
during fiscal 2019. Fiscal 2019 cash used in investing activities primarily consists of $1,291.0 million of payments for business
acquisitions, net of cash acquired. Of this amount, $1,163.5 million was paid for the acquisition of Catalent Maryland in the
fourth quarter and the remaining $127.5 million was paid for the acquisition of Juniper in the first quarter. In fiscal 2020,
$379.7 million of cash was paid for the MaSTherCell and Anagni acquisitions, net of cash acquired. Other uses of cash in
investing activities included cash used in acquisitions of property, plant, and equipment, which totaled $465.8 million in fiscal
2020 compared to $218.1 million in fiscal 2019.
Financing Activities
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, cash provided by financing activities was $1,001.7 million, which decreased
compared to cash provided by financing activities of $1,201.4 million during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019. The fiscal
2019 cash provided by financing activities consists of net proceeds of $1,447.6 million from borrowings, $646.3 million of net
proceeds from the issuance of shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, and $445.5 million of net proceeds from the issuance of
shares of our Common Stock, partially offset by $1,290.3 million of payments against long-term obligations. The fiscal 2020
balance primarily consists of €825.0 million ($909.1 million) aggregate principal amount of Operating Company’s 2.375%
57
Senior Notes due 2028 (the “Euro 2028 Notes”). The cash proceeds from the borrowings was partially offset by repayment in
full of the outstanding borrowings under Operating Company's euro-denominated term loans under its senior secured credit
facilities, which would otherwise have matured in May 2024, and Euro 2024 Notes, which would otherwise have matured in
December 2024. The cash from financing activities during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 also includes the net proceeds
from two equity offerings that we completed in fiscal 2020. In February 2020 and June 2020, we completed public offerings of
our Common Stock (the “February 2020 Equity Offering” and the “June 2020 Equity Offering,” respectively). We sold 8.4
million and 7.7 million shares of Common Stock, respectively, at a price of $58.58 and $70.72 per share, respectively, net of
underwriting discounts and commissions. The net proceeds from the February 2020 Equity Offering of $494.2 million were
used to repay $100.0 million of borrowings under Operating Company's revolving credit facility and to fund the consideration
for the MaSTherCell acquisition due at its closing, with the remainder available for general corporate purposes. The net
proceeds from the June 2020 Equity Offering of $547.5 million were used to repay $200.0 million of prophylactic borrowings
under Operating Company's revolving credit facility, with the remainder available for general corporate purposes.
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2019 Compared to the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2018
Management’s discussion and analysis of our cash flows for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 compared to the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2018 may be found in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations—Cash Flows—Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2019 Compared to the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2018” section of our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, filed with the SEC on August 27, 2019.
Debt and Financing Arrangements
Senior Secured Credit Facilities and Fourth Amendment
In May 2019, Operating Company completed the Fourth Amendment. As part of the Fourth Amendment, Operating
Company borrowed $950.0 million aggregate principal amount through incremental term B loans (“Incremental Dollar Term
B-2 Loans”) and replaced the existing revolving credit commitments of $200.0 million in its senior secured credit facilities with
new revolving credit commitments of $550.0 million (“Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments”). The Incremental Dollar
Term B-2 Loans will mature on May 17, 2026. The Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments constitute revolving credit
commitments under the Credit Agreement with the same principal terms as the previously existing revolving credit
commitments under the Credit Agreement. The Revolving Credit Facility will mature on May 17, 2024. Under the Credit
Agreement, the applicable rate for U.S. dollar-denominated term loans, including the Incremental Dollar Term B-2 Loans is
LIBOR (formerly known as the London Interbank Offered Rate, subject to a floor of 1.00%) plus 2.25%. The applicable rate for
the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments is initially LIBOR plus 2.25%, and such rate can additionally be reduced to
LIBOR plus 2.00% in future periods based on a measure of Operating Company's total leverage ratio.
In April 2020, we entered into an interest-rate swap agreement with Bank of America N.A. as a hedge against the
economic effect of a portion of the variable-interest obligation associated with our U.S dollar-denominated term loans under our
senior secured credit facilities, so that the interest payable on that portion of the debt became fixed at a certain rate, thereby
reducing the impact of future interest-rate changes on future interest expense. As a result of entering into the interest-rate swap
agreement, the floating portion of the applicable rate on $500.0 million of the term loan is now effectively fixed at 1.26% for a
total fixed rate of 3.51%.
U.S. dollar-denominated 4.875% Senior Notes due 2026
In October 2017, Operating Company completed a private offering of the USD 2026 Notes. The USD 2026 Notes are
fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by all of the wholly owned U.S. subsidiaries of Operating Company
that guarantee its senior secured credit facilities. The USD 2026 Notes were offered in the United States to qualified
institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act and outside the United States only to non-U.S. investors
pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The USD 2026 Notes will mature on January 15, 2026 and bear interest at
the rate of 4.875% per annum. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on
July 15, 2018.
U.S. dollar-denominated 5.00% Senior Notes due 2027
In June 2019, Operating Company completed a private offering of the USD 2027 Notes. The USD 2027 Notes are fully
and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by all of the wholly owned U.S. subsidiaries of Operating Company that
guarantee its senior secured credit facilities. The USD 2027 Notes were offered in the United States to qualified institutional
buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act and outside the United States only to non-U.S. investors pursuant to
Regulation S under the Securities Act. The USD 2027 Notes will mature on July 15, 2027 and bear interest at the rate of 5.00%
per annum. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on January 15, 2020.
58
Euro-denominated 2.375% Senior Notes due 2028
In March 2020, Operating Company completed a private offering of €825.0 million aggregate principal amount of the
Euro 2028 Notes. The Euro 2028 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by all of the wholly
owned U.S. subsidiaries of Operating Company that guarantee its senior secured credit facilities. The Euro 2028 Notes were
offered in the U.S. to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act and outside the U.S. only
to non-U.S. investors pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Euro 2028 Notes will mature on March 1, 2028
and bear interest at the rate of 2.375% per annum. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of
each year, beginning on September 1, 2020. The proceeds of the Euro 2028 Notes after payment of the offering fees and
expenses were used to repay in full the outstanding borrowings under Operating Company's euro-denominated term loans under
its senior secured credit agreement, which would otherwise have matured in May 2024, and Euro 2024 Notes, which would
otherwise have matured in December 2024, plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, with the remainder available for
general corporate purposes.
Deferred Purchase Consideration
Of the $950.0 million aggregate nominal purchase price for the Catalent Indiana acquisition, $200.0 million was payable
in four annual $50.0 million installments. The Company made installment payments in October 2018 and 2019. The remainder
of the deferred purchase consideration is due in October 2020 and 2021 and is recorded at fair value, with the difference
between the remaining nominal amount and the fair value balance deemed to be imputed interest.
Debt Covenants
Senior Secured Credit Facilities
The Credit Agreement contains covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, Operating
Company’s (and Operating Company’s restricted subsidiaries’) ability to incur additional indebtedness or issue certain
preferred shares; create liens on assets; engage in mergers and consolidations; sell assets; pay dividends and distributions or
repurchase capital stock; repay subordinated indebtedness; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; make investments,
loans, or advances; make certain acquisitions; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; amend material agreements governing
Operating Company’s subordinated indebtedness; and change Operating Company’s lines of business.
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, 2020, Operating Company was in compliance with all material covenants under the
Credit Agreement.
Subject to certain exceptions, the Credit Agreement permits Operating Company and its restricted subsidiaries to incur
certain additional indebtedness, including secured indebtedness. None of Operating Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries or Puerto
Rico subsidiaries is a guarantor of the loans.
Under the Credit Agreement, Operating 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, is not defined under U.S. GAAP, and is subject to important limitations. See “—Non-GAAP Metrics” for
further details on Adjusted EBITDA.
The Senior Notes
The Indentures contain certain covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of Operating Company and its
restricted subsidiaries to incur or guarantee more debt or issue certain preferred shares; pay dividends on, repurchase, or make
distributions in respect of their capital stock or make other restricted payments; make certain investments; sell certain assets;
create liens; consolidate, merge, sell; or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of their assets; enter into certain transactions
with their affiliates, and designate their subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries. These covenants are subject to a number of
exceptions, limitations, and qualifications as set forth in the Indentures. The Indentures also contain customary events of default
including, but not limited to, nonpayment, breach of covenants, and payment or acceleration defaults in certain other
indebtedness of Operating Company or certain of its subsidiaries. Upon an event of default, either the holders of at least 30% in
principal amount of each of the then-outstanding Senior Notes, or the applicable Trustee under the Indentures, may declare the
applicable Senior Notes immediately due and payable; or in certain circumstances, the applicable Senior Notes will become
automatically immediately due and payable. As of June 30, 2020, Operating Company was in compliance with all material
covenants under the Indentures.

Liquidity in Foreign Subsidiaries
As of June 30, 2020, and June 30, 2019, the amounts of cash and cash equivalents held by foreign subsidiaries were
$228.0 million and $203.9 million, respectively, out of the total consolidated cash and cash equivalents of $953.2 million and
$345.4 million, respectively. These balances are dispersed across many international locations around the world.

approximately 13.1 million "if-converted" shares of Common Stock potentially issuable upon conversion of the
Series A Preferred Stock.
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. In
April 2020, we entered into an interest-rate swap agreement with Bank of America N.A. as a hedge against the economic effect
of a portion of the variable-interest obligation associated with our U.S dollar-denominated term loans under our senior secured
credit facilities, so that the interest payable on that portion of the debt became fixed at a certain rate, thereby reducing the
impact of future interest-rate changes on future interest expense. The applicable rate for the U.S. dollar-denominated term loan
is LIBOR (subject to a floor of 1.00%) plus 2.25%; however, as a result of entering into the interest-rate swap agreement, the
floating portion of the applicable rate on $500.0 million of the term loan is now effectively fixed at 1.26% for a total fixed rate
of 3.51%.
Currency Risk Management
We are exposed to fluctuations in the euro-U.S. dollar exchange rate on our investments in our 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, 2020, we had $909.9
million of euro-denominated debt outstanding that qualifies as a hedge of a net investment in foreign operations. Refer to Note
9 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of net investment hedge activity in the period.
From time to time, we may use 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
use foreign currency forward contracts to protect the value of existing foreign currency assets and liabilities. Currently, we do
not use foreign currency exchange contracts. We expect to continue to evaluate hedging opportunities for foreign currency in
the future.

Purchase obligations include agreements to purchase goods or services that are enforceable and specify all
significant terms, including: fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum, or variable price
provisions; and approximate timing of the transaction. Purchase obligations disclosed above may include estimates
of the 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 be purchased during the requisite notice period.
(7)
Primarily relates to certain long-term employee-related liabilities for operations under programs that we have
discontinued.
The table excludes our retirement and other post-employment benefits (“OPEB”) obligations. The timing and amount of
payments for these obligations may be affected by a number of factors, including the funded status of the plans. In fiscal 2021,
we are not required to make contributions to our plans to satisfy regulatory funding standards. Beyond fiscal 2021, 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 generally paid as medical costs are incurred by covered retiree populations and
principally depend on the future cost of retiree medical benefits under our plans. Refer to Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements for further discussion.
The table also excludes $24.7 million of funded deferred compensation payments owed as of June 30, 2020 to certain
employees participating in our deferred compensation plan. The timing and amount of payments for these obligations depend
on participant-directed distributions, withdrawals, and status. As part of the deferred compensation plan, we have a
corresponding $23.4 million of deferred compensation investments as of June 30, 2020, which will be used to fund future
obligations to the participants.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Other than short-term operating leases and outstanding letters of credit as discussed above, we do not have any material
off-balance sheet arrangement as of June 30, 2020. See Note 7 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
We have 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.
In April 2020, we entered into an interest-rate swap agreement with Bank of America N.A. as a hedge against the
economic effect of a portion of the variable-interest obligation associated with our U.S dollar-denominated term loans under our
senior secured credit facilities, so that the interest payable on that portion of the debt becomes fixed at a certain rate, thereby
reducing the impact of future interest-rate changes on future interest expense. The applicable rate for the U.S. dollar-
denominated term loan is LIBOR (subject to a floor of 1.00%) plus 2.25%; however, as a result of entering into the interest-rate
swap agreement, the floating portion of the applicable rate on $500.0 million of the term loan is now effectively fixed at 1.26%,
for a total fixed rate of 3.51%.
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, and Brazilian real. 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, our functional
currency. The financial statements of our operations outside the U.S. are measured using the local currency as the functional
currency, except in Argentina, a hyper-inflationary economy, where our results are measured in U.S. dollars. 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 (income)/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
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Catalent, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Catalent, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of June 30,
2020 and 2019, 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, 2020, and the related notes and financial
statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a)(2) (collectively referred to as the “Consolidated financial statements”). In
our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company
at June 30, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
June 30, 2020, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
(PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2020, 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 31, 2020 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are
required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to
error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included
examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included
evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that
were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee of the Company’s Board of Directors and that: (1)
relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging,
subjective or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the
consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below,
providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Description of the
Matter
Measurement of uncertain tax positions
As discussed in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company recorded income tax
expense related to US and non-US tax paying jurisdictions totaling $39.7 million for the year ended June
30, 2020 and a liability for unrecognized tax benefits totaling $4.4 million at June 30, 2020. The
Company’s accounting for income taxes involves the application of complex tax regulations in each of
the international tax paying jurisdictions in which it operates. The determination of income subject to
income tax in each tax paying jurisdiction requires management to apply transfer pricing guidelines for
certain intercompany transactions related to certain European countries and make assumptions and
estimates about the value of transactions when allocating income and deductions between consolidated
entities in different tax paying jurisdictions. The estimates and assumptions used in these allocations can
result in uncertainty in the measured tax benefit.
Auditing the completeness and measurement of the liability for recognized tax benefits related to certain
intercompany transactions was complex because the assumptions are based on the interpretation of tax
laws and legal rulings in multiple tax paying jurisdictions and require significant judgment in determining
whether a tax position’s technical merits are more-likely-than-not to be sustained and measuring the
amount of tax benefit that qualifies for recognition.
67
How We Addressed
the Matter in Our
Audit
We tested controls over the process to assess the technical merits of tax positions related to certain
intercompany transactions, as well as management’s process to measure the benefit of those tax positions,
including controls over the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data. For example, we tested
controls over management’s review of the evaluation of matters identified by and discussed with various
tax authorities.
Our audit procedures with respect to the calculation of the liability for unrecognized tax benefits involved
an assessment of the technical merits of the Company’s tax positions performed with the assistance of tax
subject matter professionals with knowledge of and experience with the application of international and
local income tax laws by the relevant income tax authorities. These procedures also included, among
others, evaluating third-party advice obtained by the Company and making inquiries of its external tax
advisers. We also evaluated the Company’s significant assumptions and the completeness and accuracy
of the data used to determine the amount of tax benefits recognized and tested the accuracy of such
calculations.
Fair value of derivative liability
Description of the
Matter
During May 2019, the Company entered into an equity commitment and investment agreement for the
issuance and sale of 650,000 shares of Catalent’s Series A Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase
price of $650.0 million. As discussed in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Series A
Preferred Stock included a dividend adjustment feature that met the definition of a derivative for
accounting purposes. The dividend adjustment feature was bifurcated from the Series A Preferred Stock
and recorded separately as a derivative liability and has a $23.6 million balance as of June 30, 2020.
Auditing the Company’s valuation of this derivative was challenging as the Company uses complex
valuation methodologies that incorporate significant assumptions which include the discount rate and
forecasted volatility of the Company’s common stock price. The valuation includes assumptions about
economic and market conditions with uncertain future outcomes.
How We Addressed
the Matter in Our
Audit
We tested controls over the risks of material misstatement relating to the valuation of the derivative
liability. For example, we tested controls over management’s review of the valuation models, the
underlying assumptions used in the model and the related accounting conclusions.
To test the valuation of the derivative liability, our audit procedures included, among others, evaluating
the methodologies used in the valuation model and testing the significant assumptions. For example, we
compared the discount rate that was adjusted for the Company’s credit risk to the interest rates on
comparable debt instruments, and we compared the forecasted volatility of the Company’s common stock
price to its historical volatility. We also assessed the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data.
We involved our internal valuation specialists to assist in our evaluation of the significant assumptions
and methodologies used by the Company. We have also evaluated the Company’s financial statement
disclosures related to these matters included in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Catalent, Inc.
Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited Catalent, Inc. and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2020, 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). In our opinion, Catalent, Inc. (and subsidiaries) (the Company)
maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2020, based on the COSO
criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
(PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, 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, 2020, and the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a)(2) and
our report dated August 31, 2020 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s 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 are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are
required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. 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.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
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 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.

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. (“Operating Company”). The
financial results of Catalent are primarily comprised of the financial results of Operating Company and its subsidiaries on a
consolidated basis.
On July 31, 2014, the Company commenced an initial public offering (the “IPO”) of its common stock, par value $0.01
(the “Common Stock”), in which it sold a total of 48.9 million shares at a price of $20.50 per share, before underwriting
discounts and commissions. The Common Stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the
symbol “CTLT” as of the IPO.
The Company is the leading global provider of advanced delivery technologies and development solutions for drugs;
protein, cell, and gene therapy biologics; and consumer health products. Its oral, injectable, cell and gene therapy, and
respiratory delivery technologies address the full diversity of the pharmaceutical industry, including small molecules; protein,
cell, and gene therapy biologics; and consumer 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
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) in the last decade. Its advanced delivery technology platforms, which include
those in our Softgel and Oral Technologies, Biologics, and Oral and Specialty Delivery segments, its proven formulation,
manufacturing, and regulatory expertise, and its broad 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 patients’ needs is the foundation for the value it provides; annually, it produces approximately
73 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 and 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.
Reporting Segments
In fiscal 2020, the Company engaged in a business reorganization to better align its internal business unit structure with
its “Follow the Molecule” strategy and the increased focus on its biologics-related offerings. Under the revised structure, the
Company changed the components of three of its four operating segments:
•
•
•
Softgel and Oral Technologies, which includes formulation, development, and clinical and commercial
manufacturing of soft capsules, or “softgels”, as well as large-scale manufacturing of oral solid dose forms, for
pharmaceutical and consumer health markets, and supporting ancillary services; and
Biologics, which encompasses biologic cell-line, cell therapy and viral vector gene therapy development and
manufacturing; formulation, development, and manufacturing for parenteral dose forms, including pre-filled
syringes, vials, and cartridges; and analytical development and testing services for large molecules; and
Oral and Specialty Delivery, which includes formulation, development, and small-to-medium scale manufacturing
for most types of oral solid dose forms, including Zydis orally dissolving tablets; formulation, development, and
manufacture of blow-fill-seal unit doses, metered dose inhalers and nasal products; and analytical development and
testing capabilities for small molecules.
Each of these three segments, along with the Company's fourth segment, Clinical Supply Services, which remains
unchanged, reports through a separate management team and ultimately reports to the Company's Chief Executive Officer, who
is designated as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) for segment reporting purposes. The Company's operating
segments are the same as its reporting segments. All prior-period comparative segment information has been restated to reflect
the current reportable segments in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 280, Segment Reporting,
promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”).
Softgel and Oral Technologies
Through its Softgel and Oral Technologies segment, the Company provides formulation, development, and manufacturing
services for soft capsules, or “softgels,” as well as large-scale manufacturing of oral solid dose forms for pharmaceutical and
75
consumer health markets and supporting ancillary services. Catalent’s softgel technology was first commercialized by its
predecessor in the 1930s, and it has continually enhanced the platform since then. The segment is the market leader in overall
softgel development and manufacturing and holds the leading market position in innovator drug softgels. 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 plant-derived materials. Softgel capsules are used in a broad range of
customer products, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, dietary supplements, unit-dose cosmetics, and
animal health medicinal preparations. Softgel capsules encapsulate liquid, paste, or oil-based formulations of active compounds
in solution or suspension within an outer shell. In the manufacturing process, the capsules are formed, filled, and sealed
simultaneously. The segment typically performs 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 medications, and to provide safe handling of
hormonal, highly potent, and cytotoxic drugs. The segment also participates in the softgel vitamin, mineral, and supplement
business in selected regions around the world. With the 2001 introduction of the Company’s plant-derived softgel shell,
Vegicaps capsules, consumer health customers 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 segment extended this platform to pharmaceutical products via its OptiShell capsule offering.
Its Vegicaps and OptiShell capsules are protected by patents in most major global markets. Physician and patient studies it 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.
Its large-scale manufacturing under current good manufacturing practices (“cGMP”) of oral solid dose forms typically
includes late-stage clinical trial supplies, registration batches, and commercial production across a broad range of formats, and
may also involve advanced processing of intermediates to achieve the desired clinical performance of the prescription or over-
the-counter pharmaceutical product. Finished dose forms include traditional and advanced complex oral solid-doses, including
coated and uncoated tablets, pellet/bead/powder-filled two-piece hard capsules, granulated powders, and other immediate and
modified release forms. Advanced intermediate processing may include coating, extrusion, or spheronization to achieve specific
functional outcomes, including site or time-specific drug release, taste masking, or enhanced bioavailability. The Company has
deep experience at managing complex technical transfers of clinical or commercial programs, whether from Catalent’s early
development network in the Oral and Specialty Delivery segment, other contract development sites, or from customers directly.
Representative customers of Softgel and Oral Technologies include Pfizer, Novartis, Bayer, GlaxoSmithKline, and
Procter & Gamble.
Biologics
The Company’s Biologics segment provides biologic cell-line, cell therapy and viral vector gene therapy development
and manufacturing; formulation, development, and manufacturing for parenteral dose forms, including prefilled syringes, vials,
and cartridges; and analytical development and testing services for large molecules. The segment has extensive expertise in
development, scale up and commercial manufacturing. Representative customers of Biologics include Eli Lilly, Teva, Mylan,
Roche, AstraZeneca, Novartis, Sarepta, and Genentech, along with multiple innovative small and mid-tier pharmaceutical and
biologics customers.
The Company’s growing biologics offering includes cell-line development based on its advanced and patented GPEx
technology and the recently launched GPEx Boost, which are used to develop stable, high-yielding mammalian cell lines for
both innovator and biosimilar biologic compounds. GPEx technology can provide rapid cell-line development, high biologics
production yields, flexibility, and versatility. Its development and manufacturing facility in Madison, Wisconsin has the
capability and capacity to produce cGMP quality biologics drug substance from 250L to 4000L scale using single-use
technology to provide maximum efficiency and flexibility. Its fiscal 2018 acquisition of Cook Pharmica, LLC (now known as
Catalent Indiana LLC, “Catalent Indiana”) added capabilities across biologics development, clinical, and commercial drug
substance manufacturing, formulation, finished-dose drug product manufacturing, and packaging. It has continued to expand
production capacity, including a fourth drug substance suite in its Madison, Wisconsin facility and expanded drug product
manufacturing and packaging capacity in its Bloomington, Indiana facility. Its SMARTag next-generation antibody-drug
conjugate (“ADC”) technology enables development of ADCs and other protein conjugates with improved efficacy, safety, and
manufacturability.
From May 2019 through July 2019, the Company acquired Catalent Maryland, Inc. (formerly Paragon Bioservices, Inc.,
“Paragon”) and other gene therapy development and manufacturing assets. The segment’s gene therapy platform develops and
manufactures products based on transformative technologies, including gene therapies based on adeno-associated viruses
76
(“AAV”) and other modalities, next-generation vaccines, oncology immunotherapies (oncolytic viruses and CAR-T cell
therapies), therapeutic proteins, and other complex biologics. Its specialized expertise in AAV vectors, the most commonly
used delivery system for gene therapy, as well as capabilities in plasmids and lentivirus vectors manufactured using cGMP,
positions the segment to capitalize on strong industry tailwinds in the market for gene therapies. In February 2020, the
Company acquired Masthercell Global Inc. (“MaSTherCell”), which allows the segment to provide substantial expertise and
expanding capacity for the development and manufacture of autologous and allogeneic cell therapies for customers, as well as a
variety of related analytical services. Additional information with respect to the Company's acquisitions is contained in Note 3,
Business Combinations.
The segment’s range of injectable manufacturing offerings includes manufacturing drug substance and filling small
molecules or biologics into syringes, cartridges, and vials, with flexibility to accommodate other formats within the segment’s
existing network. Its fill and finish services are increasingly focused on complex pharmaceuticals and biologics. With the
segment’s range of technologies, it is able to meet a wide range of specifications, timelines, and budgets. The Company
believes that the complexity of the manufacturing process, the importance of experience and know-how, regulatory compliance,
and high start-up capital requirements provide the Biologics segment with a meaningful competitive advantage in the market.
The Biologics segment also offers bioanalytical development and testing services for large molecules, including cGMP
release and stability testing. In fiscal 2019, the Company launched OneBio Suite, which provides customers the potential to
seamlessly integrate drug substance, drug product, and clinical supply management for products in development, and for
integrated commercial supply across both drug substance and drug product. The Biologics segment provides the broadest range
of technologies and services supporting the development and launch of new biologic entities, biosimilars, and biobetters to
bring a product from gene to commercialization, faster.
Oral and Specialty Delivery
The Company’s Oral and Specialty Delivery segment provides advanced formulation development and manufacturing
across a range of technologies along with integrated downstream clinical development and commercial supply solutions. The
technologies cover a broad range of oral (including our proprietary fast-dissolve Zydis tablets and many bioavailability
enhancement (BAE) technologies for both immediate and controlled-release tablets and capsules), respiratory and inhaled dose
forms (including blow-fill-seal, metered dose inhalers, dry powder inhalers and nasal applicators). Representative customers of
Oral and Specialty Delivery include Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, Bayer, Perrigo, Roche, and Genentech but also many small and
mid-sized companies involved in the clinical development space.
The segment provides comprehensive pre-clinical screening, formulation, analytical development, and cGMP
manufacturing at both clinical and commercial scale for both traditional and advanced complex oral solid-dose formats. It has
substantial proven experience in developing and scaling up orphan and rare disease oral products, especially those requiring
accelerated development timelines, solubility enhancement, specialized handling (e.g., potent or controlled substance
materials), complex technology transfer and specialized manufacturing processes. It provides spray drying, hot melt extrusion,
micronization, and lipid formulation capabilities, all of which may enhance a drug’s bioavailability and clinical performance. It
offers comprehensive analytical method development and scientific capabilities, including stability testing, and global
regulatory filing services to support integrated development programs or standalone fee-for-service work. In recent years, the
segment has expanded its network of clinical development sites focused on earlier phase compounds (i.e., pre-clinical and
Phase I) to engage with more customer molecules earlier, with the intent to also support these molecules downstream as they
progress towards commercial approval. Demand for its offerings is driven by the need for scientific expertise, the depth and
breadth of integrated services offered, as well as the reliability of our supply performance across quality and operational
parameters.
The Company launched its orally dissolving tablet business in 1986 with the introduction of Zydis, a unique proprietary
freeze-dried tablet that dissolves in the mouth, without water, in typically less than three seconds. The platform is often used for
drugs that benefit from rapid oral dissolution and buccal absorption and for drugs for specialized patient groups, including
geriatric or pediatric populations, that have difficulty swallowing (dysphagia). The segment can adapt the Zydis technology to a
wide range of molecules and indications, including prescription treatments for a variety of central nervous system-related
conditions such as migraine, Parkinson’s disease, and schizophrenia, and also for a range of consumer healthcare products
targeting broader indications such as pain or allergy relief. It continues to invest in and develop Zydis orally dissolving tablets
in different ways with its customers as it extends the application of the technology to new therapeutic categories, including
immunotherapy, vaccines and biologic molecule delivery.
The segment’s respiratory platform provides integrated molecule screening, formulation development, and commercial
manufacturing services for inhaled products delivered via metered dose inhalers, dry powder inhalers, and intra-nasal sprays.
Delivery of these inhaled combination device products requires specialized capabilities to account for both the molecule and the
device, to ensure accurate repeatable dose delivery.
77
Its blow-fill-seal platform provides an advanced aseptic processing technology, which uses a continuous process to form,
fill with drug or biologic, 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 nebulized respiratory, ophthalmic, and otic products. The segment offers
significant manufacturing capacity and flexibility in dose form design and provide development and scalable solutions for unit-
dose delivery of complex formulations such as suspensions and emulsions, for both small and large molecules.
Clinical Supply Services
The Company’s Clinical Supply Services segment provides manufacturing, packaging, storage, distribution, and
inventory management for drugs and biologics in clinical trials. It offers customers flexible solutions for clinical supplies
production and provide distribution and inventory management support for both simple and complex clinical trials. This
includes 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. It supports trials in all regions of the world through our facilities and distribution network. In recent years, it has
continued to expand and extend our network, with significant expansions in Kansas City, Missouri and Singapore and new
facilities in China and, effective July 2020, in Japan. The segment is the leading provider of integrated development solutions
and one of the leading providers of clinical trial supplies. Representative customers of Clinical Supply Services include Merck
KGaA, IQVIA, Eli Lilly, AbbVie, and Incyte Corporation.

valuation. Actual amounts may differ from these estimated amounts.
Reclassification
Certain prior-period amounts were reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Contract assets previously
presented in trade receivables, net are now presented in prepaid expenses and other, which amounts are further detailed in Note
19, Supplemental Balance Sheet Information.
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 the foreign operations into U.S. dollars are
accumulated as a component of other comprehensive income/(loss) utilizing period-end exchange rates. In June 2018, as a
result of the three-year cumulative consumer price index exceeding 100%, Argentina was classified as a highly inflationary
economy. Beginning on July 1, 2018, the Company has accounted for its Argentine operations as highly inflationary, but this
change has not had a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
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 (income)/expense, net.” Such foreign currency transaction gains and losses include inter-company loans that are
repayable in the foreseeable future.
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.
78
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 2020, 2019, and 2018 or 10% of accounts receivable as of the fiscal years ended 2020 and 2019.
Inventories
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. The Company
provides for cost adjustments 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 performs an impairment evaluation of goodwill annually
during the fourth quarter of its fiscal year or when circumstances otherwise indicate an evaluation should be performed.
The evaluation may begin with a qualitative assessment for each reporting unit to determine whether it is more-likely-
than-not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. Factors considered in a qualitative assessment
include, among other things, macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, financial performance of the
respective reporting unit and other relevant entity and reporting-unit specific considerations. If the qualitative assessment does
not generate a positive response, or if no qualitative assessment is performed, a quantitative assessment, based upon discounted
cash flows, is performed and requires management to estimate future cash flows, growth rates, and macroeconomic, industry,
and market conditions. In fiscal 2018 and 2020, the Company proceeded immediately to the quantitative assessment, but in
fiscal 2019 the Company began its impairment evaluation with the qualitative assessment.
Based on its quantitative assessments conducted as of April 1, 2020, the Company determined for each reporting unit with
goodwill that it was more likely than not that its respective fair value exceeded its carrying value, indicating there was no
impairment. For more information regarding goodwill balances at June 30, 2020, see Note 4, Goodwill.
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 leasehold improvements and 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 $164.9 million for the fiscal year ended June 30,
2020, $140.4 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, and $127.5 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018.
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 for fiscal 2020 was $11.2 million and was immaterial for fiscal
2019 and 2018.
Intangible assets with finite lives, including customer relationships, patents, and trademarks, are amortized over their
useful lives. The Company also capitalizes certain computer software and development costs in other intangibles, net, when
incurred in connection with developing or obtaining computer software for internal use. Capitalized software costs are
amortized over the estimated useful lives of the software, which generally range from 3 to 5 years. The Company evaluates the
79
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 of $5.5 million, $5.1 million, and $8.7 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020, 2019, and 2018,
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). The Company uses the corridor approach to amortize actuarial gains and losses.
The Company has elected to utilize an approach to estimate the service and interest components of net periodic benefit
cost for benefit plans that discounts the individual expected cash flows using the applicable spot rates derived from the yield
curve over the projected cash flow period. 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, and the expected risk premium for each asset class. The
Company uses a measurement date of June 30 for all its retirement and postretirement benefit plans.
Derivative Instruments, Hedging Activities, and Fair Value
Derivative 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 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 euro-U.S. dollar 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. In addition, a portion of Operating Company's interest payment obligation on its U.S dollar-denominated term loans is
exposed to interest rate variability. The Company has mitigated its exposure to this risk by entering into an interest-rate swap
agreement, which qualifies for and is designated as a cash-flow hedge. Also, as discussed in Note 9, Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities, the Company has determined that an aspect of the dividend-rate adjustment feature of the Company’s
convertible Series A Preferred Stock (as defined below, see Note 13, Redeemable Preferred Stock—Series A Preferred) should
be accounted for as a derivative liability.
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
80
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).
Certain investments that are measured at fair value using the net asset value (“NAV”) per share (or its equivalent)
practical expedient have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy.
•
Marketable Securities
Marketable securities consist of investments that have a readily determinable fair value based on quoted market price of
the investment, which is considered a Level 1 fair value measurement. Under ASC 321, Investments—Equity Securities, these
investments are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at fair value in other assets on the Company’s consolidated
balance sheets. Unrealized holding gains and losses are reported within other expense, net on the Company’s consolidated
statements of operations.
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 losses incurred but not reported.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss)
Accumulated other comprehensive income, which is reported in the accompanying consolidated statements of changes in
shareholders’ equity, consists of net earnings, foreign currency translation, and defined benefit pension plan changes.
Research and Development Costs
The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred. Costs incurred in connection with the development
of new offerings and manufacturing process improvements are recorded within selling, general, and administrative expenses.
Such research and development costs amounted to $2.6 million, $3.3 million, and $6.3 million for the fiscal years ended
June 30, 2020, June 30, 2019, and June 30, 2018, respectively. Costs incurred in connection with research and development
services the Company provides to customers and services performed in support of the commercial manufacturing process for
customers are recorded within cost of sales. Such research and development costs included in cost of sales amounted to $61.2
million, $51.2 million, and $46.2 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively.
Earnings/(Loss) Per Share
The Company reports net earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. The Company
computes basic earnings per share for the Common Stock using the two-class method by dividing net income attributable to
common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Series A
Preferred Stock, due to its convertible feature, is participating in nature; accordingly, the outstanding shares of Series A
Preferred Stock are included in the two-class method. Diluted earnings per common share measures the performance of the
Company over the reporting period while giving effect to all potential common shares that were dilutive and outstanding during
the period. The denominator includes the weighted average number of basic shares and the number of additional common
81
shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares that were dilutive had been issued, and is calculated
using either the two-class, treasury stock or if-converted method, whichever is more dilutive.
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. The
Company has elected not to reclassify the income tax effects stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income to retained
earnings.
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, and the expense is recorded over the applicable requisite service period. Forfeitures are recognized as
and when they occur. 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 or
restricted stock units to elect to have the Company withhold a portion of the shares otherwise issuable upon the employee’s
exercise of the option or grant, a so-called “net settlement transaction,” as a means of paying the exercise price, meeting tax
withholding requirements, or both.
Recent Financial Accounting Standards
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which
supersedes 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 became effective for public reporting entities in annual reporting periods
beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The guidance permitted adoption of the new
standard using the modified retrospective approach. The Company adopted the guidance on July 1, 2019 and elected the
transition method that allows for the application of the standard at the adoption date rather than at the beginning of the earliest
comparative period presented in the financial statements. The Company also elected the package of practical expedients; as a
result, it did not reassess: (i) whether any expired or existing contract is or contains a lease, (ii) whether any expired or existing
lease requires capitalization under the new guidance, and (iii) the initial direct cost for any existing lease. The Company also
elected (x) not to reassess lease terms using hindsight and (y) to combine lease and non-lease components within a single lease
agreement. Upon adoption, the Company recognized $49.3 million of lease liabilities and a corresponding amount for right-of-
use assets on its consolidated balance sheet. The adoption of the guidance did not have any effect on the Company’s
consolidated statements of operations or cash flows. Refer to Note 16, Leases for further discussion of the Company's lease
accounting policy.
New Accounting Standards Not Adopted as of June 30, 2020
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of
Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for
the discontinuation of a reference rate such as LIBOR, formerly known as the London Interbank Offered Rate, because of
82
reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by the guidance do not apply to contract modifications made and
hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022. The ASU is effective for all entities as of March 12,
2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its
consolidated financial statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income
Taxes, which eliminates certain exceptions related to the incremental approach for intra-period allocation, deferred tax
recognition requirement for changes in equity method investments and foreign subsidiaries, and methodology for calculating
income taxes in an interim period. The guidance also simplifies certain aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes, the
accounting for step-up in the tax basis of goodwill, and accounting for the change in the enacted change in tax laws or rates.
The ASU will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic
350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service
Contract, which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a
service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software.
The ASU will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those fiscal years and
allow for either a retrospective or prospective application. The Company does not expect the adoption of the guidance to have a
material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans—General
(Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plan, which removes
certain disclosures and added additional disclosures around weighted-average interest crediting rates for cash balance plans and
explanation for significant gains and losses related to change in the benefit obligation for the period. The ASU will be effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 with a retrospective application for all periods presented. The Company
does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit
Losses on Financial Instruments, which introduces a new accounting model known as Credit Expected Credit Losses
(“CECL”). CECL requires earlier recognition of credit losses, while also providing additional transparency about credit risk.
The CECL model utilizes a lifetime expected credit loss measurement objective for the recognition of credit losses for
receivables at the time the financial asset is originated or acquired. The expected credit losses are adjusted each period for
changes in expected lifetime credit losses. This model replaces the multiple existing impairment models in current U.S. GAAP,
which generally require that a loss be incurred before it is recognized. The new standard will also apply to receivables arising
from revenue transactions such as contract assets and accounts receivables. The ASU will be effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2019. The Company completed its evaluation of the guidance and does not expect it to have a material
impact on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
2.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606. The Company generally earns its revenue by supplying
goods or providing services under contracts with its customers in three primary revenue streams: manufacturing and
commercial product supply, development services, and clinical supply services. The Company measures the revenue from
customers based on the consideration specified in its contracts, excluding any sales incentive or amount collected on behalf of a
third party.
The Company’s customer contracts generally include provisions entitling the Company to a termination penalty when the
customer invokes its contractual right to terminate prior to the contract’s nominal end date. The termination penalties in the
customer contracts vary but are generally considered substantive for accounting purposes and create enforceable rights and
obligations throughout the stated duration of the contract. The Company accounts for a contract cancellation as a contract
modification in the period in which the customer invokes the termination provision. The determination of the contract
termination penalty is based on the terms stated in the related customer agreement. As of the modification date, the Company
updates its estimate of the transaction price using the expected value method, subject to constraints, and recognizes the amount
over the remaining performance period.
The Company generally expenses sales commissions as incurred because either the amortization period is one year or
less, or the balance with an amortization period greater than one year is not material.

Development services contracts generally take the form of short-term, fee-for-service arrangements. Performance
obligations vary, but frequently include biologic cell-line development, performing formulation, analytical stability, or other
services related to product development, and providing manufacturing services for products that are under development or
otherwise not intended for commercial sale. The transaction prices for these arrangements are fixed and include amounts stated
in the contracts for each promised service, and each service is generally considered to be a separate performance obligation. The
Company recognizes revenue over time because there is no alternative use to the Company for the asset created and the
Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed as of that date.
The Company measures progress toward the completion of its performance obligations satisfied over time based on the
nature of the services to be performed. For certain types of arrangements related to biologic cell-line development, revenue is
recognized over time and measured using an output method based on the completion of tasks and activities that are performed
to satisfy a performance obligation. For all other types of arrangements, revenue is recognized over time and measured using an
input method based on effort expended. Each of these methods provides an appropriate depiction of the Company’s progress
toward fulfilling its performance obligations for its respective arrangement. In certain development services arrangements that
require a portion of the contract consideration to be received in advance at the commencement of the contract, such advance
payment is initially recorded as a contract liability.
The Company allocates consideration to each performance obligation using the “relative standalone selling price” as
defined under ASC 606. Generally, the Company utilizes observable standalone selling prices in its allocations of
consideration. If observable standalone selling prices are not available, the Company estimates the applicable standalone selling
84
price using an adjusted market assessment approach, representing the amount that the Company believes the market is willing
to pay for the applicable service. Payment is typically due 30 to 90 days following the completion of services provided to the
customer, based on the payment terms set forth in the applicable customer agreement.
Manufacturing & Commercial Product Supply Revenue
Manufacturing and commercial product supply revenue consists of revenue earned by manufacturing products supplied to
customers under long-term commercial supply arrangements. In these arrangements, the customer typically owns and supplies
the active pharmaceutical ingredient, or API, that is used in the manufacturing process. The contract generally includes the
terms of the manufacturing services and related product quality assurance procedures to comply with regulatory requirements.
Due to the regulated nature of the Company’s business, these contract terms are highly interdependent and, therefore, are
considered to be a single combined performance obligation. The transaction price is generally stated in the agreement as a fixed
price per unit, with no contractual provision for a refund or price concession. Control is transferred to the customer over time,
creating a corresponding right to recognize the related revenue, because there is no alternative use to the Company for the asset
created and the Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed as of that date. Progress is measured
based on the units of product that have successfully completed the contractually required product quality assurance process, as
the conclusion of that process generally defines the time when the applicable contract and the related regulatory requirements
permit the customer to exercise control over the product’s disposition. The customer is typically responsible for arranging the
shipping and handling of product following quality assurance.
Payment is typically due 30 to 90 days after the goods are shipped as requested by the customer, based on the payment
terms set forth in the applicable customer agreement.
Clinical Supply Services Revenue
Clinical supply services contracts generally take the form of fee-for-service arrangements. Performance obligations for
clinical supply services revenue typically include a combination of the following services: the manufacturing, packaging,
storage, distribution, destruction, and inventory management of customer clinical trials materials. Performance obligations can
also include the sourcing of comparator drug products on behalf of customers to be used in clinical trials to compare
performance with the drug under clinical investigation. In certain arrangements, the Company recognizes revenue over time
when the Company satisfies performance obligations. Satisfaction of the performance obligations is measured using an input
method measure of progress based on effort expended by the Company. In other arrangements, revenue is recognized at the
point in time when control transfers, which occurs upon either the delivery of the related output of the service to the customer
or the completion of quality testing with respect to the product, and the Company has an enforceable right to payment based on
the terms of the arrangement. Payment is typically due 30 to 90 days following the completion of services provided to the
customer based on the payment terms set forth in the applicable customer agreement.
The Company records revenue for comparator sourcing arrangements on a net basis because it is acting as an agent that
does not control the product or service before it is transferred to the customer. Payment for comparator sourcing activity is
typically received in advance at the commencement of the contract and is initially recorded as a contract liability.
Licensing Revenue
The Company occasionally enters into arrangements with its customers that include licenses of functional intellectual
property, including patents, or other intangible property (“out-licensing”). Revenue from such arrangements are within the
scope of ASC 606. The Company does not have any material license arrangement that contains more than one performance
obligation. The terms of such out-licensing arrangements include the license of functional intellectual or intangible property
(primarily drug formulae) and typically provide for payment by the licensee of one or more of the following: non-refundable,
up-front license fees or royalties on net sales of licensed products. The Company recognizes revenue from nonrefundable, up-
front license fees when the licensed intellectual property is made available for the customer’s use and benefit, which is
generally at the inception of the arrangement. Royalty payments from such arrangements are recognized when subsequent sale
or usage of an item subject to the royalty occurs and the performance obligation to which royalty relates is satisfied.

will be recognized within 12 months of June 30, 2020 are accounted for in Other accrued liabilities and those that will be
recognized longer than 12 months after June 30, 2020 are accounted for within Other liabilities.
Contract Assets
Contract assets primarily relate to the Company's conditional right to receive consideration for services that have been
performed for the customer as of June 30, 2020 relating to its development services but had not yet been invoiced as of June 30,
2020. Contract assets are transferred to trade receivables, net when the Company’s right to receive the consideration becomes
unconditional. Contract assets totaled $61.4 million and $23.3 million as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Contract
assets are accounted for within Prepaid expenses and other as they are expected to be transferred to trade receivables within 12
months of June 30, 2020.

Paragon Acquisition
In May 2019, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interest in Paragon for an aggregate nominal purchase price of
$1,192.1 million.
The Company accounted for the transaction using the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations, in
accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. The total consideration was (in millions):

Paragon Valuation Assumptions and Purchase Price Allocation
The Company estimated fair values at the acquisition date for the preliminary allocation of consideration to the net
tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. During the measurement period that ended in May 2020, the
Company obtained updated information to finalize the fair values of the net assets acquired. Amounts subject to finalization
included working capital adjustments and income taxes. During the measurement period, the Company did not record any
material adjustment to goodwill or any other balance related to this acquisition.

The carrying value of trade receivables, raw materials inventory, and trade payables, as well as certain other current and
non-current assets and liabilities, generally represented the fair value at the date of acquisition.
Property, plant, and equipment was valued using the cost approach, which is based on current replacement and/or
reproduction cost of the asset as new, less depreciation attributable to physical, functional, and economic factors. The Company
then determined the remaining useful life based on the anticipated life of the asset and Company policy for similar assets.
Customer-relationship intangible assets of $389.0 million were valued using the multi-period, excess-earnings method, a
method that values the intangible asset using the present value of the after-tax cash flows attributable to the intangible asset
only. The significant assumptions used in developing the valuation included the estimated annual net cash flows (including
application of an appropriate margin to forecasted revenue, selling and marketing costs, return on working capital, contributory
asset charges, and other factors), the discount rate that appropriately reflects the risk inherent in each future cash flow stream,
and an assessment of the asset’s life cycle, as well as other factors. The assumptions used in the financial forecasts were based
on historical data, supplemented by current and anticipated growth rates, management plans, and market-comparable
information. Fair-value determinations require considerable judgment and are sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions
and factors. The customer relationship intangible asset has a weighted average useful life of 13 years.
Goodwill has been allocated to the Biologics segment as shown in Note 4, Goodwill. Goodwill is mainly comprised of the
growth from an expected increase in capacity utilization, potential new customers, and advanced gene therapy development and
manufacturing capabilities. Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.
Paragon Pro Forma Results
The following table provides pro forma results for the Company, prepared in accordance with ASC 805, for the fiscal
years ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, as if the Company had acquired Paragon as of July 1, 2017 (in millions):

The pro forma financial information was prepared based on the historical information of Catalent and Paragon. In order to
reflect the acquisition on July 1, 2017, the pro forma financial information includes the impact of incremental stock-based
compensation expenses attributable to the acquisition, incremental amortization expense to be incurred based on the fair values
of the intangible assets acquired, the incremental depreciation expense related to the fair-value adjustments associated with
Paragon's property, plant, and equipment, the additional interest expense associated with the issuance of debt to finance the
acquisition, the shares issued to finance the acquisition, the acquisition, integration, and financing-related costs incurred, and
income tax-related adjustments for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The results do not include any
anticipated cost savings or other effects associated with integrating Paragon into the rest of the Company. Pro forma amounts
are not necessarily indicative of results had the acquisition occurred on July 1, 2017 or of future results.
Novavax Transaction
In July 2019, the Company acquired from Novavax Inc. (“Novavax”) certain property, plant and equipment, rights to two
facilities under leases in southern Maryland, certain raw material inventory, and the right to assume the employment of more
than 100 Novavax employees located at those facilities in the areas of operations, quality, and product development, among
other things. The Company made a cash payment of $18.3 million in connection with the acquisition. The Company considers
the transaction to be a business combination under ASC 805 and accounted for it using the acquisition method of accounting.
The Company estimated fair values at the acquisition date for the allocation of consideration to the acquired items.
87
The aggregate purchase consideration was funded with cash on hand. As a result of the preliminary fair value allocations,
the Company recognized property, plant, and equipment of $15.6 million and $0.3 million for inventory. The remainder of the
fair value, $2.4 million, was preliminarily allocated to goodwill, primarily the value of the existing organized and trained work
force.
During the measurement period that ended in July 2020, the Company continued to obtain information to assist in
finalizing the fair values of the net assets acquired, which was not materially different from the preliminary estimates.
Anagni Acquisition
In January 2020, the Company acquired an oral solid, biologics, and sterile product manufacturing and packaging facility
in Anagni, Italy from a unit of Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (“BMS”). The Company paid to BMS $55.3 million in cash as
part of the purchase consideration and as consideration for the provision of certain services to facilitate the transition from BMS
to Company ownership. At the closing of this acquisition, BMS also entered into a five-year agreement for continuing supply
by the Company of certain products formerly produced by BMS at the Anagni facility. Due to the variety of activities
performed at Anagni, the results of the Anagni facility are allocated between the Oral and Specialty Delivery and Biologics
segments.
The total cash consideration was preliminarily allocated between the facility purchase and the transitional services
arrangement, with $52.2 million assigned to the purchase consideration and the balance to transitional services. The Company
funded the entire amount with cash on hand and has preliminarily allocated the purchase price among the acquired assets,
recognizing property, plant, and equipment of $34.2 million, inventory of $6.5 million, and prepaid expenses and other of $12.2
million. The remainder of the value was preliminarily allocated to deferred tax assets and certain employee-related liabilities
assumed in the acquisition.
During the measurement period ending no later than one year after the acquisition date, the Company will continue to
obtain information to assist in finalizing the fair values of the net assets acquired, which may differ materially from these
preliminary estimates. The amount subject to finalization principally includes income taxes. If any measurement period
adjustment is material, the Company will record such adjustment, including any related impact on net income, in the reporting
period in which the adjustment is determined. The Company expects to finalize its allocation over the next several months, but,
in any event, within one year from the closing.
MaSTherCell Acquisition
In February 2020, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interest in MaSTherCell for an aggregate purchase price of
$323.3 million, subject to adjustment, which was funded with the net proceeds of the Company’s February 2020 offering (the
“February 2020 Equity Offering”) of its common stock, par value $0.01 (“Common Stock”). See Note 12, Equity and
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss). The Company accounted for the MaSTherCell acquisition using the
acquisition method in accordance with ASC 805. The operating results of MaSTherCell have been included in the Company’s
consolidated financial statements for the period following the acquisition date. Transaction costs incurred as a result of the
acquisition of $3.1 million are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses.
MaSTherCell Valuation Assumptions and Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation
The Company has preliminarily estimated fair values at the date of acquisition for the preliminary allocation of
consideration to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as part of the MaSTherCell acquisition.

then determined the remaining useful life based on the anticipated life of the asset and Company policy for similar assets.
Customer-relationship intangible assets of $46.3 million were valued using the multi-period, excess-earnings method, a
method that values the intangible assets using the present value of the after-tax cash flows attributable to the intangible assets
only. The assumptions used in developing the valuation included the estimated annual net cash flows (including application of
an appropriate margin to forecasted revenue, selling and marketing costs, return on working capital, contributory asset charges,
and other factors), the discount rate that appropriately reflects the risk inherent in each future cash flow stream, and an
assessment of the assets’ life cycles, as well as other factors. The assumptions used in the financial forecasts were based on
historical data, supplemented by current and anticipated growth rates, management plans, and market-comparable information.
Preliminary assumptions may change and may result in adjustments to the final valuation. The customer relationship intangible
assets have a weighted average useful life of 13 years. Goodwill is mainly comprised of the growth from an expected increase
in capacity utilization, potential new customers, and advanced cell therapy development and manufacturing capabilities. The
goodwill arising from the MaSTherCell acquisition has been assigned to the Biologics segment. Goodwill is not deductible for
tax purposes.
During the measurement period ending no later than one year after the acquisition date, the Company will continue to
obtain information to assist in finalizing the fair values of the net assets acquired, which may differ materially from these
preliminary estimates. The amounts subject to finalization include working capital and income taxes. If any measurement
period adjustment is material, the Company will record such adjustment, including any related impact on net income, in the
reporting period in which the adjustment is determined. The Company expects to finalize its allocation over the next several
months, but, in any event, within one year from the closing.

Goodwill increase in fiscal 2020 within the Biologics segment primarily relates to the MaSTherCell acquisition. The
reallocation of goodwill in fiscal 2020 relates to adjustments to the Company’s reporting segments, as a result of which certain
assets moved from the Biologics reporting segment to the Oral and Specialty Delivery reporting segment, and other assets
moved from the Oral and Specialty Delivery reporting segment to the Softgel and Oral Technologies reporting segment. The
Company recorded no impairment charge to goodwill in fiscal 2018, 2019, or 2020. See Note 1, Basis of Presentation and
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 3, Business Combinations.

RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER COSTS
Restructuring Costs
The Company has implemented plans to restructure certain operations, both domestically and internationally. The
restructuring plans focused on various aspects of operations, including closing and consolidating certain manufacturing
operations, rationalizing headcount and aligning operations in a strategic and more cost-efficient structure. In addition, the
Company may incur restructuring charges in the future in cases where a material change in the scope of operation with its
business occurs. Employee-related costs consist primarily of severance costs and also include outplacement services provided to
employees who have been involuntarily terminated. Facility exit and other costs consist of accelerated depreciation, equipment
relocation costs and costs associated with planned changes to the Company's facilities to streamline its operations.
Other Costs/(Income)
Other costs include settlement charges for claim amounts that the Company deemed to be both probable and reasonably
estimable, but where the Company is not currently in a position to record under U.S. GAAP any insurance recovery with
respect to such costs. The claims relate to a former temporary suspension of operations at a softgel manufacturing facility.

In May 2019, Operating Company completed a fourth amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”) to its Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of May 20, 2014 (as amended through the Fourth Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”).
As part of the Fourth Amendment, Operating Company borrowed $950 million aggregate principal amount of incremental term
B loans (the “Incremental Dollar Term B-2 Loans”) and replaced the existing revolving credit commitments of $200 million
with new revolving credit commitments of $550 million (the “Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments”). The Incremental
Dollar Term B-2 Loans constitute a new class of U.S. dollar-denominated term loans under the Credit Agreement with the same
principal terms as the then-existing U.S. dollar-denominated term loans. The Incremental Dollar Term B-2 Loans will mature
on May 17, 2026. The Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments constitute revolving credit commitments under the Credit
Agreement with the same principal terms as the previously existing revolving credit commitments under the Credit Agreement.
The Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments will mature on May 17, 2024. Under the Credit Agreement, the applicable rate
for U.S. dollar-denominated term loans, including the Incremental Dollar Term B-2 Loans, is LIBOR (subject to a floor of
1.00%) plus 2.25%. In April 2020, Operating Company entered into an interest-rate swap agreement that effectively fixed the
rate on $500 million of the Incremental Dollar Term B-2 Loans at 3.51%. See Note 9, Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities. The applicable rate for revolving loans, including the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, is initially
LIBOR plus 2.25%, and such rate can be reduced to LIBOR plus 2.00% in future periods based on a measure of Operating
Company's total leverage ratio.
91
In January 2020 and March 2020, Operating Company borrowed $100.0 million and $200.0 million, respectively, under
its revolving credit facility, which were repaid as of June 30, 2020 from a portion of the proceeds of the February 2020 Equity
Offering and June 2020 public offering of its Common Stock (the “June 2020 Equity Offering”), respectively. The borrowing in
March 2020 was done prophylactically in response to unsettled market conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic to
increase liquidity for general corporate purposes, while proceeds from the borrowing in January 2020 were used to pay the cash
acquisition cost of certain land and buildings previously leased by the Company’s gene therapy business. The Company
incurred interest of $1.7 million during fiscal 2020 from the borrowings under Operating Company's revolving credit facility.
The availability of capacity under the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments is reduced by the aggregate value of
all outstanding letters of credit under the Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had $543.3 million of un-
utilized capacity under the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments due to $6.7 million of outstanding letters of credit.
U.S. dollar-denominated 4.875% Senior Notes due 2026
In October 2017, Operating Company completed a private offering of $450.0 million aggregate principal amount of
4.875% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “USD 2026 Notes”). The USD 2026 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly
and severally, by all of the wholly owned U.S. subsidiaries of Operating Company that guarantee its senior secured credit
facilities. The USD 2026 Notes were offered in the U.S to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and outside the U.S only to non-U.S. investors pursuant to Regulation
S under the Securities Act. The USD 2026 Notes will mature on January 15, 2026 and bear interest at the rate of 4.875% per
annum. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on July 15, 2018.
U.S. dollar-denominated 5.00% Senior Notes due 2027
In June 2019, Operating Company completed a private offering of $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.00%
Senior Notes due 2027 (the “USD 2027 Notes”). The USD 2027 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and
severally, by all of the wholly owned U.S. subsidiaries of Operating Company that guarantee its senior secured credit facilities.
The USD 2027 Notes were offered in the U.S to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act
and outside the U.S only to non-U.S. investors pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The USD 2027 Notes will
mature on July 15, 2027 and bear interest at the rate of 5.00% per annum. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on
January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on January 15, 2020.
Euro-denominated 2.375% Senior Notes due 2028
In March 2020, Operating Company completed a private offering of €825.0 million aggregate principal amount of
2.375% Senior Notes due 2028 (the "Euro 2028 Notes" and, together with the USD 2026 Notes and USD 2027 Notes, the
"Senior Notes"). The Euro 2028 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by all of the wholly
owned U.S. subsidiaries of Operating Company that guarantee its senior secured credit facilities. The Euro 2028 Notes were
offered in the U.S. to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act and outside the U.S. only
to non-U.S. investors pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Euro 2028 Notes will mature on March 1, 2028
and bear interest at the rate of 2.375% per annum. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of
each year. The proceeds of the Euro 2028 Notes after payment of the offering fees and expenses were used to repay in full the
outstanding borrowings under Operating Company's euro-denominated term loans under the Credit Agreement, which would
have matured in May 2024, and euro-denominated 4.75% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “Euro 2024 Notes”), which would have
matured in December 2024, plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, with the remainder available for general corporate
purposes.
Deferred Purchase Consideration
In connection with the acquisition of Catalent Indiana in October 2017, $200.0 million of the $950.0 million aggregate
nominal purchase price is payable in $50.0 million installments, on each of the first four anniversaries of the closing date. The
Company made installment payments in October 2018 and October 2019. The balance of the deferred purchase consideration
was recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date, with the difference between the remaining nominal amount and the fair
value treated as imputed interest.
92
Long-Term and Other Obligations
Other obligations consist primarily of finance leases for buildings and other loans for business and working capital needs.
Maturities of long-term obligations, including finance leases of $142.2 million, and other short-term borrowings for future

Debt issuance costs associated with the Credit Agreement (other than its revolving credit facility component) and the
Senior Notes are presented as a reduction to the carrying value of the related debt, while debt issuance costs associated with the
revolving credit facility are capitalized within prepaid expenses and other assets on the consolidated 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 debt issuance costs were $39.0 million and $34.6 million as of June 30, 2020
and 2019, respectively. Amortization of debt issuance costs totaled $6.4 million and $3.8 million for the fiscal years ended
June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Guarantees and Security
Senior Secured Credit Facilities
All obligations under the Credit Agreement, and the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by substantially all of the
following assets of Operating Company and each guarantor (Operating Company's parent entity, PTS Intermediate, and each of
Operating Company's material domestic subsidiaries), subject to certain exceptions:
•
•
a pledge of 100% of the capital stock of Operating Company and 100% of the equity interests directly held by
Operating Company and each guarantor in any wholly owned material subsidiary of Operating Company 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 Operating Company and
of each guarantor, subject to certain limited exceptions.
The Senior Notes
All obligations under the Senior Notes are general, unsecured, and subordinated to all existing and future secured
indebtedness of the guarantors to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. Each of the Senior Notes is
separately guaranteed by all of Operating Company's wholly owned U.S. subsidiaries that guarantee the senior secured credit
facilities. None of the Senior Notes is guaranteed by either PTS Intermediate or the Company.
Debt Covenants
Senior Secured Credit Facilities
The Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions,
Operating Company’s (and Operating Company’s restricted subsidiaries’) ability to incur additional indebtedness or issue
certain preferred shares; create liens on assets; engage in mergers and consolidations; sell assets; pay dividends and
distributions or repurchase capital stock; repay subordinated indebtedness; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; make
investments, loans or advances; make certain acquisitions; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; amend material
agreements governing Operating Company's subordinated indebtedness and change Operating Company's lines of business.
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, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all material covenants related to the
Credit Agreement.
Subject to certain exceptions, the Credit Agreement permits Operating Company and its restricted subsidiaries to incur
certain additional indebtedness, including secured indebtedness. None of Operating Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries nor its
dormant Puerto Rico subsidiary is a guarantor of the loans.
Under the Credit Agreement, Operating 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
93
(which is defined as “Consolidated EBITDA” in the Credit Agreement). Adjusted EBITDA is based on the definitions in the
Credit Agreement, is not defined under U.S. GAAP, and is subject to important limitations.
The Senior Notes
The various indentures governing the Senior Notes (collectively, the “Indentures”) contain covenants that, among other
things, limit the ability of Operating Company and its restricted subsidiaries to incur or guarantee more debt or issue certain
preferred shares; pay dividends on, repurchase, or make distributions in respect of their capital stock or make other restricted
payments; make certain investments; sell certain assets; create liens; consolidate, merge, sell; or otherwise dispose of all or
substantially all of their assets; enter into certain transactions with their affiliates, and designate their subsidiaries as unrestricted
subsidiaries. These covenants are subject to a number of exceptions, limitations, and qualifications as set forth in the Indentures.
The Indentures also contain customary events of default, including, but not limited to, nonpayment, breach of covenants, and
payment or acceleration defaults in certain other indebtedness of Operating Company or certain of its subsidiaries. Upon an
event of default, either the holders of at least 30% in principal amount of each of the then-outstanding Senior Notes or the
applicable Trustee under the Indentures may declare the applicable notes immediately due and payable; or in certain
circumstances, the applicable notes will become automatically immediately due and payable. As of June 30, 2020, Operating
Company was in compliance with all material covenants under the Indentures.
Fair Value of Debt Measurements
The estimated fair values of the senior secured credit facilities and Senior Notes are classified as Level 2 in the fair value
hierarchy and are calculated by using a discounted cash flow model with market interest rate as a significant input. The carrying
amounts and the estimated fair values of financial instruments as of June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019 are as follows:

The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) of the Common Stock using the two-class method required due to the
participating nature of the Series A Preferred Stock (as noted in Note 12, Equity and Accumulated Other Comprehensive
Income/(Loss)). Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding plus the
number of common shares that would be issued assuming exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive instruments. Dilutive
securities having an anti-dilutive effect on diluted net income per share are excluded from the calculation. The dilutive effect of
the securities that are issuable under the Company’s equity incentive plans (see Note 14, Equity-Based Compensation) are
reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method. The dilutive effect of the Series A Preferred
94
Stock is computed by applying the if-converted method. The reconciliations between basic and diluted earnings per share
attributable to Catalent common shareholders for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020, 2019, and 2018 are as follows:

The computations of diluted earnings per share for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020, 2019, and 2018 exclude the
effect of shares potentially issuable under pre-IPO employee stock options totaling 0.0 million, 0.0 million, and 0.4 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 fiscal years ended June 30,
2020 and 2019 excludes the effect of approximately 13.1 million and 1.6 million, respectively, “if-converted” shares of
Common Stock, on a weighted average basis, potentially issuable on the conversion of Series A Preferred Stock, as those shares
would be anti-dilutive.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
The Company is exposed to fluctuations in the currency exchange rates applicable to its investments in foreign
operations. While the Company does not actively hedge against changes in foreign currency, the Company has mitigated the
exposure arising from its investments in its European operations by denominating a portion of its Senior Notes in euros. At
June 30, 2020, the Company had euro-denominated debt outstanding of $909.9 million (U.S. dollar equivalent), which 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 unhedged portions of the translation gains or losses are reported in the consolidated
statements of operations. The following table includes net investment hedge activity during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020
and 2019, respectively:
(Dollars in millions)

The net accumulated gain of this net investment within accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) was $62.5
million as of June 30, 2020. Amounts are reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) into earnings
when the entity in which the gains and losses reside is either sold or substantially liquidated.
2020 Derivative Liability
As discussed in Note 13, Redeemable Preferred Stock—Series A Preferred, in May 2019, the Company issued shares of
Series A Preferred Stock in exchange for net proceeds of $646.3 million after taking into account the $3.7 million issuance cost.
The dividend rate used to determine the amount of the quarterly dividend payable on shares of the Series A Preferred
Stock is subject to adjustment so as to provide holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock with certain protections against a
decline in the trading price of shares of Common Stock. The Company determined that this feature should be accounted for as a
derivative liability, since the feature fluctuates inversely to changes in the trading price and is also linked to the performance of
95
the S&P 500 stock index. Accordingly, the Company bifurcated the adjustable dividend feature from the remainder of the
Series A Preferred Stock and accounted for this feature as a derivative liability at fair value. Changes in the fair value of the
derivative liability are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations for each reporting period. The fair value was
based on an option pricing methodology, specifically both a Monte Carlo simulation and a binomial lattice model. The
methodology incorporates the terms and conditions of the preferred stock arrangement, historical stock price volatility, the risk-
free interest rate, a credit spread based on the yield indexes of high-yield bonds, and the trading price of shares of the Common
Stock. The calculation of the estimated fair value of the derivative liability is highly sensitive to changes in the unobservable
inputs, such as the expected volatility and the Company’s specific credit spread.
The Company recorded a gain of $3.2 million on the change in the estimated fair value of the derivative liability from
issuance through June 30, 2020, which is reflected as a non-operating expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The
fair value of the derivative liability as of June 30, 2020 was $23.6 million.
The fair value is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy due to the significant management judgment required for
the assumptions underlying the calculation of value. The following table sets forth a summary of changes in the estimated fair
value of the derivative liability:

Pursuant to its interest rate and risk management strategy, in April 2020, Operating Company entered into an interest-rate
swap agreement with Bank of America N.A. as a hedge against the economic effect of a portion of the variable interest
obligation associated with its U.S dollar-denominated term loans under its senior secured credit facilities, so that the interest
payable on that portion of the debt becomes fixed at a certain rate, thereby reducing the impact of future interest rate changes on
future interest expense. As a result of entering into the interest-rate swap agreement, the floating portion of the applicable rate
on $500.0 million of the term loans is now effectively fixed at 1.26%, for a total fixed rate of 3.51%.
The interest-rate swap agreement qualifies for and is designated as a cash-flow hedge. All hedging relationships are
formally documented, and the hedges are designed to offset changes to future cash flows on hedged transactions. We evaluate
hedge effectiveness at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis.
The fair value of the interest-rate swap agreement is determined at the end of each reporting period based on valuation
models that use interest rate yield curves and discount rates as inputs. The discount rates are based on U.S. Deposit or U.S.
Treasury rates. The significant inputs used in the valuation models are readily available in public markets or can be derived
from observable market transactions and, therefore, have been classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The estimated
fair value of the interest rate swap as of June 30, 2020 was reported as a derivative liability of $3.7 million within other
liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. The cash flows associated with the interest-rate swap are reported in net cash
provided by operating activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows. The unrealized gain from the mark-to-market of the
interest-rate swap valuation during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 was immaterial.

The income tax provision for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 is not comparable to the provision in the prior year due
to changes in the geographic mix of pretax income, changes in the tax impact of permanent differences and credits, and the tax
impact of discrete items. The effective tax rate for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 reflects a reduction to the federal and
foreign valuation allowance partially offset by permanent items, and an increase in state tax. The effective tax rate for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2019 reflects a reduction to the state valuation allowance, and the impact of permanent differences,
including “global intangible low-taxed income” (“GILTI”), offset by the benefit of an increase in foreign earnings taxed at rates
lower than the U.S. statutory rate.
The Company intends to repatriate foreign earnings taxed in prior fiscal years as a result of the changes imposed by the
2017 U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. In addition to these foreign earnings previously taxed, as of June 30, 2020, for purposes of
ASC 740-10-25-3, the Company had $84.8 million of undistributed earnings from non-U.S. subsidiaries that it intends to
reinvest permanently in its non-U.S. operations. As these ASC 740-10-25-3 earnings are considered permanently reinvested, no
tax provision has been accrued. It is not feasible to estimate the amount of tax that might be payable on the eventual remittance
of such earnings.

Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax reporting bases of assets

At June 30, 2020, the Company had federal net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards of $491.0 million, $251.4 million
of which are subject to limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue
Code”). The majority of the $251.4 million federal NOL carryforwards subject to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code are
attributed to the Company's acquisitions of Pharmatek, Juniper, Paragon, and MaSThercell. As of June 30, 2020, $267.0 million
of the Company's federal NOL carryforwards have an indefinite life and the remaining NOL carryforwards will expire in fiscal
years 2023 through 2037.
At June 30, 2020, the Company had state tax NOL carryforwards of $503.3 million. Approximately $48.7 million of these
losses are state tax losses generated in periods ending on or before April 10, 2007. Substantially all state NOL carryforwards
have a twenty-year carryforward period. At June 30, 2020, the Company had non-U.S. tax NOL carryforwards of $116.8
million, a majority of which, are available for at least three years or have an indefinite carryforward period.
98
The Company had valuation allowances of $52.9 million and $76.3 million as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively,
against its deferred tax assets. The Company considered all available evidence, both positive and negative, in assessing the need
for a valuation allowance against tax assets. Four possible sources of taxable income were evaluated when assessing the
realization of deferred tax assets:
•
•
•
•
carrybacks of existing NOLs (if and to the extent permitted under the tax law);
future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences;
tax planning strategies; and
future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards.
While the valuation allowance related to certain U.S. combined states was released during the fiscal year ended June 30,
2019, there remained as of June 30, 2020 a valuation allowance for the NOLs and deductible temporary differences in the
remaining combined and separate states of $33.8 million. The state valuation allowance as of June 30, 2020 is due to the
Company’s history of tax losses and anticipated loss utilization rates in separate filing status states as well as the difference in
the rules related to allocated and apportioned income for separate filing status states versus combined filing status states.
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 the Company would realize the value of its deferred tax assets 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 laws. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, the Company released
$23.1 million of its valuation allowances. The amount released is comprised of $8.9 million for U.S. foreign tax credits and
$14.2 million of NOLs and temporary differences for certain Belgian operations. The $23.1 million release of the Company’s
valuation allowance was partially offset by establishing a $1.1 million valuation allowance on NOL and temporary differences
related to certain French operations.
In the normal course of business, the Company's income taxes are subject to audits by federal, state, and foreign tax
authorities, some of which are ongoing and may result in proposed assessments. Germany and the U.K. are among the
jurisdictions where the Company has substantial tax positions. The Company is no longer subject to examinations by the
relevant tax authorities for years prior to fiscal 2009. The Company’s estimate for the potential outcome for any uncertain tax
issue is highly judgmental. The Company assesses its income tax positions and records 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 resolution with the taxing authority that has full knowledge of all
relevant information based on the technical merit. Interest and penalties are accrued, where applicable.
99
As of June 30, 2020, the Company had a total of $4.4 million of unrecognized tax benefits. A reconciliation of
unrecognized tax benefits, excluding accrued interest, for June 30, 2020, 2019, and 2018 is as follows:

All of the unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2020 and 2019 would, if subsequently recognized, favorably affect the

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of June 30,
2020, the Company has $1.2 million of accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions, a decrease of $0.2 million from the
prior year, the majority of which relates to lapses of the applicable statute of limitations with respect to the imposition of such
interest. The Company had $1.4 million and $2.0 million of accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions as of June 30,
2019 and 2018, respectively.

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 created under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code that provide for the Company to
match a portion of contributions by participating U.S. employees. The Company’s contributions to the plans are discretionary
but are subject to certain minimum requirements as specified in the plans. The Company uses a measurement date of June 30
for all of its retirement and postretirement benefit plans.
The Company recorded obligations related to its withdrawal from one multi-employer pension plan that covered former
employees at three former sites. Its withdrawal has been classified as a mass withdrawal under the Multiemployer Pension Plan
Amendments Act of 1980, as amended, and the Pension Protection Act of 2006 and 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 projected contributions related to these plans is
$38.6 million and $38.8 million as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The annual cash impact associated with the
Company’s long-term obligation arising from this plan is $1.7 million per year.

The Company's Investment Committee 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.
104
•
•
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, 2020 and 2019, including $31.1 million and $24.3 million of investments in hedge funds
related to the Company's U.K. pension plan, are classified as Level 2.
The following tables provide a summary of plan assets that are measured at fair value as of June 30, 2020 and 2019,
aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall:

Level 3 other assets consist of an insurance contract in the U.K. 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
pension liability of the associated plan. Level 3 other assets also include the partial funding of a pension liability relating to
current and former employees of the Company’s Eberbach, Germany facility through a Company promissory note 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.
The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of level 3 assets as well as the changes

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
105
portfolios are managed actively to pursue opportunities presented by changes in interest rates, credit ratings, or maturity
premiums.

EQUITY AND ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME/(LOSS)
Description of Capital Stock
The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000,000 shares of its Common Stock 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.
Recent Public Offerings of its Common Stock
On June 15, 2020, the Company completed the June 2020 Equity Offering, in which the Company sold 7.7 million shares
of Common Stock at a price of $70.72 per share, net of underwriting discounts and commissions. The Company obtained total
net proceeds from the June 2020 Equity Offering of $547.5 million after the payment of associated offering expenses. The net
proceeds of the June 2020 Equity Offering were used to repay $200.0 million of prophylactic borrowings from the third quarter
of fiscal 2020 under Operating Company's revolving credit facility, with the remainder available for general corporate purposes.
On July 10, 2020, the underwriter for the June 2020 Equity Offering exercised its over-allotment option on 1.2 million
additional shares, resulting in net proceeds of $82.2 million from the June 2020 Equity Offering, which will be recorded in the
first quarter of fiscal 2021.
On February 6, 2020, the Company completed the February 2020 Equity Offering, in which the Company sold 8.4
million shares of Common Stock at a price of $58.58 per share, net of underwriting discounts and commissions. The Company
obtained total net proceeds from the February 2020 Equity Offering of $494.2 million. The net proceeds of the February 2020
Equity Offering were used to repay $100.0 million of borrowings earlier in the quarter under Operating Company's revolving
credit facility and the consideration for the MaSTherCell acquisition due at its closing, with the remainder available for general
corporate purposes.
On July 27, 2018, the Company completed a public offering of its Common Stock (the “2018 Equity Offering”) pursuant
to which the Company sold 11.4 million shares, including shares sold pursuant to an exercise of the underwriters' over-
allotment option, at a price of $40.24 per share, before underwriting discounts and commissions. Net of these discounts and
106
commissions and other offering expenses, the Company's proceeds from the 2018 Equity Offering, including the over-allotment
exercise, totaled $445.5 million. The net proceeds of the 2018 Equity Offering were used to repay a corresponding portion of
the outstanding borrowings under Operating Company's U.S. dollar-denominated term loans.
Effect of Restricted Stock
Shares outstanding of Common Stock include shares of unvested restricted stock. Unvested restricted stock included in
reportable shares outstanding was 0.5 million shares as of June 30, 2020. Shares of unvested restricted stock are excluded from
the calculation of basic weighted average shares outstanding, but their dilutive impact is added back in the calculation of diluted
weighted average shares outstanding.
Stock Repurchase Program
On October 29, 2015, the Company’s board of directors authorized a share repurchase program, permitting the use of up
to $100.0 million to repurchase shares of outstanding Common Stock. On August 27, 2020, the Company’s board of directors
terminated this share repurchase program. There has been no purchase pursuant to this program in the fiscal year ended June 30,
2020 or at any time since the share repurchase program was authorized by the Company’s board of directors in 2015.

The Company held an investment in a specialty pharmaceutical company, which was treated as a cost method investment
prior to the second quarter of fiscal 2017. In the second quarter of fiscal 2017, the specialty pharmaceutical company became
publicly traded after an initial public offering, and, as a result, the Company recognized an initial unrealized gain on the
investment of $15.3 million, net of tax. The Company recorded an other-than-temporary impairment in the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2018, and the investment has been fully impaired. This amount is reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income.

REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK — SERIES A PREFERRED
In May 2019, the Company designated 1,000,000 shares of its preferred stock, par value $0.01, as its “Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock” (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), pursuant to a certificate of designation of preferences, rights,
and limitations (as amended, the “Certificate of Designation”) filed with the Delaware Secretary of State, and issued and sold
650,000 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $650.0 million, to affiliates of Leonard Green
& Partners, L.P. (the “Series A Investors”), each share having an initial stated value of $1,000 (as such value may be adjusted in
accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designation, the “Stated Value”). The Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior to
the Company’s Common Stock with respect to dividend rights and rights upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
dissolution, or winding up of the affairs of the Company.
The holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote with the holders of the Common Stock as a single class on an
“as-converted” basis and, for so long as the Series A Investors or their successors have the right to designate a nominee for
108
election to the board pursuant to their stockholders’ agreement with the Company, have the right to elect one board member
voting as a separate class. They also have veto rights over certain amendments to the Company’s organizational documents that
would have an adverse effect on the rights of the Series A Preferred Stock; issuance of senior or pari passu securities; or the
incurrence of indebtedness above certain leverage ratios, as set forth in the Certificate of Designation.
Holders of Series A Preferred Stock have the right under the Certificate of Designation to receive a liquidation preference
entitling them to be paid out of our assets available for distribution to stockholders before any payment may be made to holders
of any other class or series of capital stock, the value of which preference is equal to the greater of (a) the Stated Value plus all
accrued and unpaid dividends or (b) the amount that such holders would have been entitled to receive upon the Company’s
liquidation, dissolution, and winding up if all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock had been converted into shares of
Common Stock immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution, or winding up.
Holders of Series A Preferred Stock are also entitled (a) to receive a cumulative annual dividend equal to 5.0% of the
Stated Value, payable quarterly in arrears in cash, by increasing the Stated Value, or in a combination thereof at Catalent’s
election, with such rate subject to an increase to 6.5% or 8.0% depending on the price of the Common Stock at the fourth (or in
certain cases fifth) anniversary of the initial issuance, as set forth in the Certificate of Designation, and (b) to participate in the
distribution of any ordinary dividend on the Common Stock calculated on an as-converted basis.
The Series A Preferred Stock is subject to conversion or redemption under various circumstances, including the right of
holders to convert some or all of their shares into shares of Common Stock after twelve months at a fixed price of $49.54 (the
“Conversion Price”) and the Company’s right to (x) convert all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock at any time after
the third anniversary of the initial issuance if the price of the Common Stock exceeds 150.0% of the Conversion Price or (y)
redeem all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock at any time after the fifth anniversary of the initial issuance at a price
per share equal to the Stated Value, plus accrued and unpaid dividends, for cash, shares of Common Stock, or a combination of
these. The Conversion Price is subject to customary anti-dilution and other adjustments. In addition, holders of shares of Series
A Preferred Stock are eligible to demand redemption of their shares in the event of a change of control. Due to these various
rights, privileges, and preferences, the Company has classified the Series A Preferred Stock as temporary (mezzanine) equity on
its consolidated balance sheets.
Proceeds from the offering of the Series A Preferred Stock, net of stock issuance costs, were $646.3 million, in fiscal
2019 which were used to fund a portion of the consideration for the Paragon acquisition due at its closing. Of the net proceeds,
$39.7 million was allocated to the dividend adjustment feature at its issuance and separately accounted for as a derivative
liability, as disclosed in Note 9, Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The preferred stock balance totaled $606.6
million as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company’s stock-based compensation is comprised of stock options, restricted stock units, and restricted stock.
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.
Certain awards remain outstanding under the 2007 Plan, but it is no longer possible to issue new awards.
2014 and 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plans
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 provided 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, restricted stock units (defined below), and restricted stock. In October 2018, the
Company’s shareholders approved the 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”), and, as a result, new awards may no
longer be issued under the 2014 Plan, although it remains in effect as to any previously granted award. The 2018 Plan is
substantially similar to the 2014 Plan, except that (a) a total of 15,600,000 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment)
may be issued under the 2018 Plan, (b) each share of Common Stock issuable under the 2018 Plan pursuant to a restricted stock
or restricted stock unit award will reduce the number of reserved shares by 2.25 shares, and (c) the 2018 Plan imposes a limit on
the aggregate value of awards that may be made in a single year to a non-employee director. Both the 2014 Plan and the 2018
Plan permit “net settlement” of vested awards, pursuant to which the award holder forfeits a portion of the vested award to
satisfy the purchase price (in the case of options), the holder’s withholding tax obligation, if any (in all cases), or both. Where
the holder net-settles the tax obligation, the Company pays the amount of the withholding tax to the U.S. government in cash,
which is accounted for as an adjustment to Additional Paid in Capital.

Stock Compensation Expense
Stock compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statements of operations was $48.1 million, $33.3 million,
and $27.2 million in fiscal 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively. Stock compensation expense is classified in selling, general, and
administrative expenses as well as cost of sales. The Company has elected to account for forfeitures as they occur.
Stock Options
The Company adopted two forms of non-qualified stock option agreement (each, a “Form Option Agreement”) for stock
options 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 vests over a specified
performance period upon achievement of pre-determined operating performance targets over time, and the remaining portion of
the stock option awards vests 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 vests over a specified
performance period upon achievement of pre-determined operating performance targets over time while the other portion of the
stock option awards vests 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 award 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 granted under the 2014 Plan or 2018 Plan, as applicable, during fiscal 2020, 2019, and 2018 had an
intrinsic value of $6.1 million, $24.0 million, and $2.3 million, respectively, which represents approximately 329,000,
1,179,000, and 442,000 shares of Common Stock, respectively. Each stock option granted under the 2014 Plan or 2018 Plan
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, except for a small number of grants that vest based on the achievement of operating
performance targets set forth in the award documents.
Methodology and Assumptions
All outstanding stock options have an exercise price per share equal to the fair market value of one share of Common
Stock on the date of grant. 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 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 a 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
2020
23 %- 24%
6.25
1.7 %- 1.9%
None
Fiscal Year Ended June 30,

6.25
2.2 %- 2.8%
None
2018
24 %- 27%
6.25
1.9 %- 2.1%
None
Public trading of the Common Stock commenced only in July 2014, and, as a result, there is only available 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 2020, 2019, and 2018 was $15.22 per share, $9.49
per share, and $10.39 per share, respectively.

In fiscal 2020, participants exercised options to purchase approximately 166,000 net settled shares, resulting in $7.1
million of cash paid on behalf of participants for withholding taxes. The intrinsic value of the options exercised in fiscal 2020
was $17.9 million. The total fair value of options vested during the period was $4.3 million.
In fiscal 2019, participants exercised options to purchase approximately 283,000 net settled shares, resulting in $8.9
million of cash paid on behalf of participants for withholding taxes. The intrinsic value of the options exercised in fiscal 2019
was $21.0. The total fair value of options vested during the period was $3.6 million. As part of the time-based options granted,
there were 230,093 shares granted in consideration for the acquisition of Paragon. Excluding this grant, the Weighted Average
Exercise Price for fiscal 2019 would have been $41.47.
As of June 30, 2020, $2.5 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to granted and not forfeited stock options is
expected to be recognized as expense over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.9 years.
Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units
The Company may grant to employees and members of its board of directors under the 2018 Plan (and formerly granted
under the 2014 Plan) shares of restricted stock and units each representing the right to one share of Common Stock (“restricted
stock units”). Since the IPO, the Company has granted to employees and directors restricted stock units and restricted stock that
vest over specified periods as well as restricted stock units and restricted stock that have certain performance-related vesting
requirements (“performance share units” and “performance shares,” respectively). The restricted stock and restricted stock units
granted during fiscal 2020 and 2019 had grant date fair values aggregating $42.8 million and $47.6 million, respectively, which
represent approximately 748,000 and 1,066,000 shares of Common Stock, respectively. Under the 2014 Plan or 2018 Plan, as
appropriate, the performance shares and performance share units vest upon achieving Company financial performance metrics
established at the outset of the three-year performance period associated with each grant. The metrics for the fiscal 2016
performance share unit grant were based on performance against a mix of cumulative revenue and cumulative Adjusted
EBITDA targets, and these grants vested in fiscal 2018 based on achievement against those targets. Note that Adjusted
EBITDA (which is called “Consolidated EBITDA” in the Credit Agreement) is calculated based on the definition in the Credit
Agreement, is not defined under U.S. GAAP, and is subject to important limitations. The metrics for the fiscal 2017, 2018, and
2019 performance share and performance share unit grants were based on performance against a mix of adjusted EPS targets
and relative total shareholder return (“RTSR”) targets. Note that adjusted EPS is calculated as a quotient of tax-effected
Adjusted EBITDA by the weighted average number of fully diluted shares, a financial measure that is not defined under U.S.
GAAP and is subject to important limitations. The performance shares and performance share units vest following the end of
their respective three-year performance periods upon a determination of achievement relative to the targets. Each quarter during
the period in which the performance shares and performance share units are outstanding, the Company estimates the likelihood
of such achievement by the end of the performance period in order to determine the probability of vesting. The number of
shares actually earned at the end of the three-year period for the fiscal 2017, 2018 and 2019 grants will vary, based only on
actual performance, from 0% to 200%, or from 0% to 150%, of the target number of performance shares or performance share
units specified on the date of grant, in the case of adjusted EPS and RTSR grants, respectively. Time-based restricted stock
units and restricted stock generally vest on the second or third anniversary of the date of grant, subject to the participant’s
continued employment with the Company.
111
Methodology and Assumptions - Expense Recognition and Grant Date Fair Value
The fair values of (a) time-based restricted stock units and restricted stock are recognized as expense on a cliff-vesting
schedule over the applicable vesting period and (b) performance shares and performance share units are re-assessed quarterly as
discussed above.
The grant date fair values of both time-based and performance-based shares and units are determined based on the
number of shares subject to the grants and the fair value of the Common Stock on the dates of the grants, as determined by the
closing market prices.

Valuation of RTSR Performance Shares and Performance Share Units
The fair value of each RTSR performance share unit and performance share 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 outcomes. Because the valuation model considers a
range of possible outcomes, compensation cost is recognized regardless of whether the market condition is actually satisfied.
The assumptions used in estimating the fair value of the RTSR performance share units and performance shares granted
during each year were as follows:
Expected volatility
Expected life (in years)
Risk-free interest rates

In fiscal 2020, participants vested and settled 734,000 net settled shares, resulting in $24.0 million of cash paid on behalf
of participants for withholding taxes. In fiscal 2019, participants vested and settled 262,000 net settled shares, resulting in $5.4
million of cash paid on behalf of participants for withholding taxes.
As of June 30, 2020, $37.0 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock and restricted stock units
(including performance shares and performance share units, respectively) is expected to be recognized as expense over a
weighted-average period of approximately 1.7 years. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of restricted stock and
restricted stock units in fiscal 2020, 2019, and 2018 was $57.17, $44.65, and $34.99, respectively. The fair value of restricted
stock units vested in fiscal 2020, 2019, and 2018 was $34.8 million, $13.2 million, and $13.6 million, respectively.

16.
LEASES
The Company leases certain manufacturing and office facilities, land, vehicles, and equipment. The terms of these leases
vary widely, although most have terms between 3 and 10 years.
In accordance with ASC 842, Leases, the Company recognizes a “right-of-use” asset and related lease liability at the
commencement date of each lease based on the present value of the fixed lease payments over the expected lease term. The
lease term for this purpose will include any renewal period where the Company determines that it is reasonably certain that it
will exercise the option to renew. While certain leases also permit Catalent to terminate the lease in advance of the nominal
term upon payment of an associated penalty, the Company generally does not take into account potential early termination dates
113
in its determination of the lease term as it is reasonably certain not to exercise an early-termination option as of the lease
commencement date.
The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate, which represents the interest rate the Company would expect to pay on
a collateralized basis to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments under similar terms, in order to calculate the present
value of a lease, since the implicit discount rate for its leases is not readily determinable.
Fixed lease payments are recognized on straight-line basis over the lease term, while variable payments are recognized in
the period incurred. As permitted by ASC 842, the Company has elected not to separate those components of a lease agreement
not related to the leasing of an asset from those components that are related.
The Company does not record leases with an initial lease term of 12 months or less on its consolidated balance sheets.
The Company recognizes lease expense for these short-term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Contingent Losses
From time to time, the Company may be involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business,
including, without limitation, inquiries and claims concerning environmental contamination as well as litigation and allegations
in connection with acquisitions, product liability, manufacturing or packaging defects, and claims for reimbursement for the
cost of lost or damaged active pharmaceutical ingredients, the cost of any of which could be significant. The Company intends
to vigorously defend itself against any such litigation and does not currently believe that the outcome of any such litigation will
have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial statements. In addition, the healthcare industry is highly regulated
and government agencies continue to scrutinize certain practices affecting government programs and otherwise.
From time to time, the Company receives subpoenas or requests for information relating to the business practices and
activities of customers or suppliers from various governmental agencies or private parties, including from state attorneys
115
general, the U.S. Department of Justice, and private parties engaged in patent infringement, antitrust, tort, and other litigation.
The Company generally responds to such subpoenas and requests in a timely and thorough manner, which responses sometimes
require considerable time and effort and can result in considerable costs being incurred. The Company expects to incur costs in
future periods in connection with future requests.
18.
SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
As discussed in Note 1, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, the Company conducts its
business within the following segments: Softgel and Oral Technologies, Biologics, Oral and Specialty Delivery, and Clinical
Supply Services. The Company evaluates the performance of its segments based on segment revenue and segment earnings
before non-controlling interest, other (income)/expense, impairments, restructuring costs, interest expense, income tax (benefit)/
expense, and depreciation and amortization (“Segment EBITDA”). The Company considers its reporting segments results in the
context of a similar Company-wide measure: EBITDA from operations, which the Company defines as consolidated earnings
from operations before interest expense, income tax (benefit)/expense, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for the income
or loss attributable to non-controlling interest. Neither Segment EBITDA nor EBITDA from operations is defined under U.S.
GAAP, and neither is a measure of operating income, operating performance, or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S.
GAAP. Each of these non-GAAP measures is subject to important limitations. This Note to the consolidated financial
statements includes information concerning Segment EBITDA and EBITDA from operations (a) because Segment EBITDA
and EBITDA from operations are operational measures used by management in the assessment of the operating segments, the
allocation of resources to the segments, and the setting of strategic goals and annual goals for the segments, and (b) in order to
provide supplemental information that the Company considers relevant for the readers of the consolidated financial statements,
but such information is not meant to replace or supersede U.S. GAAP measures. The Company’s presentation of Segment
EBITDA and EBITDA from operations may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. The most
directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure to EBITDA from operations is net earnings/(loss). Included in this Note is a
reconciliation of net earnings/(loss) to EBITDA from operations.
The following tables include net revenue and Segment EBITDA for each of the Company's current reporting segments
during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020, 2019, and 2018 (restated in accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting; see

ITEM 9A.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in
our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the
SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief
Executive Officer, and our Senior 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. Our management, with the participation of our Chief
Executive Officer, and our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and
operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report. Based upon that
evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June
30, 2020, our 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, 2020. 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, 2020.
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2020 has been audited by Ernst & Young
LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in its report, which is included in Item 8. Financial Statements
and Supplementary Data in this Annual Report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and
15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
