EXTON, Pa. , July 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. (NYSE: WST ) today announced its financial results for the second-quarter 2020 and updated full-year 2020 financial guidance.
Second-Quarter 2020 Summary (comparisons to prior-year period)
"Adjusted-diluted EPS" and "organic sales growth" are Non-U.S. GAAP measurements. See discussion under the heading "Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures" in this release.
"Our second quarter results reflect the strength and resiliency of our business in today's environment," said Eric M. Green , President and Chief Executive Officer. "We continue to see underlying demand growth in our existing business for our high-value products and in high adoption rates from customers who are developing therapeutics and vaccines to address the COVID-19 pandemic."
Mr. Green continued, "The outlook for the balance of 2020 remains robust; and with our One West philosophy, broad range of innovative solutions and the ability to flex our global operating network, we are well positioned. I am extremely proud of our colleagues' response to the challenging landscape and the dedicated focus on delivering high-quality components and solutions to our customers."
Proprietary Products Segment Net sales grew by 10.9% to $399.5 million . Organic sales growth was 13.3%, with currency translation decreasing sales growth by 240 basis points. High-value products (HVP) represented 65% of segment sales and generated double-digit organic sales growth.
Our Biologics market unit had double-digit organic sales growth, led by customer purchases of film-coated components (Flurotec ® and Daikyo ® ), self-injection platforms, Westar ® and Crystal Zenith ® components. Our Generics market unit posted double-digit organic sales growth, and our Pharma market unit grew organic sales by low-single digits. Both Generics and Pharma market units were led by sales of film-coated and Westar components.
Contract-Manufactured Products Segment Net sales grew by 16.8% to $127.8 million . Organic sales growth was 17.8% with currency translation decreasing sales growth by 100 basis points. Segment performance was led by strong sales of healthcare-related injection and diagnostic devices.
Financial Highlights (first six months of 2020) Operating cash flow was $205.2 million , an increase of 34%. Capital expenditures were $69.2 million . Free cash flow (operating cash flow minus capital expenditures) was $136.0 million , an increase of 42%.

Except as required by law or regulation, we undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures For the purpose of aiding the comparison of our year-over-year results, we may refer to net sales and other financial results excluding the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Organic net sales exclude the impact from acquisitions and/or divestitures and translate the current-period reported sales of subsidiaries whose functional currency is other than the U.S. Dollar at the applicable foreign exchange rates in effect during the comparable prior-year period. We may also refer to financial results excluding the effects of unallocated items. The re-measured results excluding effects from currency translation and excluding the effects of unallocated items are not in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") and should not be used as a substitute for the comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures. The non-U.S. GAAP financial measures are incorporated into our discussion and analysis as management uses them in evaluating our results of operations and believes that this information provides users a valuable insight into our overall performance and financial position. A reconciliation of these adjusted Non-U.S. GAAP measures to the comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures is included in the accompanying tables.

(6) In 2019, tax benefits associated with stock-based compensation increased adjusted-diluted EPS by $0.14. We have opted not to forecast 2020 tax benefits from stock-based compensation in upcoming quarters, as they are out of the Company's control. Instead, we recognize the benefits as they occur. In the First-Quarter and Second-Quarter 2020, tax benefits associated with stock-based compensation increased adjusted-diluted EPS by $0.07 and $0.09, respectively. Any future tax benefits associated with stock-based compensation that we receive in 2020 would provide a positive adjustment to our full-year EPS guidance.
