Each filer's latest fiscal year as stored by the nightly crawl; fiscal year ends differ across the universe. A metric ranks only filers for which it is computable from filed facts. Ties split; a rank reads "better than N% of filers" in the metric's own direction. Descriptive and educational, not a rating.
Earnings quality
latest fiscal year ending 2025-12-31 · accruals and cash conversion as filedPer fiscal year from filed facts: cash conversion = operating cash flow / net income (net income > 0); cash-flow accrual ratio = (net income - operating cash flow) / average total assets; balance-sheet accrual ratio = change in net operating assets / average net operating assets, NOA = (assets - cash) - (liabilities - debt). Descriptive; a missing input yields a missing ratio. High accrual ratios and cash conversion well below one are the measures the accruals literature associates with less persistent earnings; they are screens to read the cash-flow statement with, not conclusions.

"Stock-Based Compensation The West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. 2016 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the 2016 Plan) provides for the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards and performance awards to employees and non-employee directors. A committee of the Board of Directors determines the terms and conditions of awards to be granted. Vesting requirements vary by award. In March 2025, the Board of Directors approved, and our stockholders subsequently approved in May 2025, an amendment to the 2016 Plan (""the Amended and Restated 2016 Plan""), which, among other things, added 2.0 million shares of common stock to the maximum number of shares of common stock as to which awards may be granted. Following the approval of the Amended and Restated 2016 Plan, all stock options or SARs that are not forfeited or cancelled will reduce the number of shares available for issuance under the Amended and Restated 2016 Plan by one share for each share subject to the award. Awards issued following the amendment that are payable in common stock (other than stock options or SARs) will reduce the total number of shares available for grant under the Amended and Restated 2016 Plan by an amount equal to 2.0 times the number of shares subject to the award. The reduction was previously equal to 2.5 times the number of shares subject to the award under the 2016 Plan.

Fair value · 4,491 characters as filed
Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The following fair value hierarchy classifies the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into one of three levels: Level 1 : Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 : Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. Level 3 : Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entitys own assumptions.

Leases · 4,758 characters as filed
Leases As of December 31, 2025, we had leases primarily related to land, buildings, and machinery and equipment, with lease terms through 2269. Certain of our leases provide us with an option, exercisable at our sole discretion, to terminate the lease or extend the lease term for one year or more. At this time, the Company is not able to assert whether any of these options will be exercised. Judgments used in applying ASC 842 include determining: i) whether a contract is, or contains, a lease; ii) the discount rate to be used to discount the unpaid lease payments to present value; iii) the lease term; and iv) the lease payments. We determine if a contract is, or contains, a lease at contract inception. A lease exists when a contract conveys to the customer the right to control the use of identified property, plant, or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The definition of a lease embodies two conditions: 1) there is an identified asset in the contract that is land or a depreciable asset (i.e., property, plant, and equipment); and 2) the customer has the right to control the use of the identified asset. ASC 842 requires a lessee to discount its unpaid lease payments using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, its incremental borrowing rate. As all of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the …

Revenue Revenue Recognition We recognize the majority of our revenue, primarily relating to Proprietary Products product sales, at a point in time, following the transfer of control of our products to our customers, which typically occurs upon shipment or delivery, depending on the terms of the related agreements. We recognize revenue relating to our Contract-Manufactured Products product sales and certain Proprietary Products product sales over time, as our performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to us and we have an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. We recognize revenue relating to our development and tooling agreements over time, as our performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced. For revenue recognized over time, revenue is recognized by applying a method of measuring progress toward complete satisfaction of the related performance obligation. When selecting the method for measuring progress, we select the method that best depicts the transfer of control of goods or services promised to our customers. Revenue for our Contract-Manufactured Products product sales, certain Proprietary Products product sales, and our development and tooling agreements is recorded under an input method, which recognizes revenue on the basis of our efforts or inputs to the satisfaction of a performance obligation (for example, resources consumed, labor hours expended, costs incurred, t …

Share-based compensation · 3,783 characters as filed
"Stock-Based Compensation The West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. 2016 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the 2016 Plan) provides for the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights (""SARs""), restricted stock awards and performance awards to employees and non-employee directors. A committee of the Board of Directors determines the terms and conditions of awards to be granted. Vesting requirements vary by award. In March 2025, the Board of Directors approved, and our stockholders subsequently approved in May 2025, an amendment to the 2016 Plan (""the Amended and Restated 2016 Plan""), which, among other things, added 2.0 million shares of common stock to the maximum number of shares of common stock as to which awards may be granted. Following the approval of the Amended and Restated 2016 Plan, all stock options or SARs that are not forfeited or cancelled will reduce the number of shares available for issuance under the Amended and Restated 2016 Plan by one share for each share subject to the award. Awards issued following the amendment that are payable in common stock (other than stock options or SARs) will reduce the total number of shares available for grant under the Amended and Restated 2016 Plan by an amount equal to 2.0 times the number of shares subject to the award. The reduction was previously equal to 2.5 times the number of shares subject to the award under the 2016 Plan. At June 30, 2026, there were approximately 2.8 million shares remaining in the Amen …

Fair value · 4,585 characters as filed
Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The following fair value hierarchy classifies the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into one of three levels: Level 1 : Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 : Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. Level 3 : Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entitys own assumptions. The following tables present the assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis: Balance at Basis of Fair Value Measurements ($ in millions) June 30, 2026 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Deferred compensation assets $ 9.9 $ 9.9 $ $ Money market funds 100.7 100.7 Time deposits 47.0 47.0 Foreign currency contracts 3.9 3.9 Cross-currency swap 27.0 27.0 Commodity call options 1.5 1.5 $ 190.0 $ 110.6 $ 79.4 $ Liabilities: Contingent consideration $ 3.3 $ $ $ 3.3 Deferred compensation liabilities 10.0 10.0 Foreign currency contracts 5.3 5.3 $ 18.6 $ 10.0 $ 5.3 $ 3.3 Balance at …

Income taxes · 1,387 characters as filed
Income Taxes The tax provision for interim periods is determined using the estimated annual effective consolidated tax rate, based on the current estimate of full-year earnings before taxes, adjusted for the impact of discrete quarterly items. The provision for income taxes was $32.2 million and $30.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and the effective tax rate was 17.9% and 19.2%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025, primarily reflects the impact of favorable changes in our geographic mix of earnings The provision for income taxes was $76.9 million and $54.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and the effective tax rate was 21.3% and 20.3%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025, is primarily due to a one-time tax cost of $12.0 million associated with an internal legal entity restructuring which occurred in the first quarter of 2026, partially offset by the impact of favorable changes in our geographic mix of earnings. The liability for unrecognized tax benefits was $67.5 million and $56.1 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and is included within other long-term liabilities.

Leases · 2,806 characters as filed
Leases A lease exists when a contract conveys to the customer the right to control the use of identified property, plant, or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The definition of a lease embodies two conditions: 1) there is an identified asset in the contract that is land or a depreciable asset (i.e., property, plant, and equipment); and 2) the customer has the right to control the use of the identified asset. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are comprised of fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), variable payments that depend on an index or rate, and the exercise price of a lessee option to purchase the underlying asset if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise. The components of lease expense were as follows: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, ($ in millions) 2026 2025 2026 2025 Operating lease cost $ 7.3 $ 6.8 $ 14.5 $ 13.4 Finance lease - amortization of right-of-use (ROU) assets 0.5 0.4 1.0 0.7 Finance lease - interest on lease liabilities 0.1 0.1 0.1 Short-term lease cost 1.1 0.7 2.0 1.5 Variable lease cost 3.0 2.5 5.5 5.4 Total lease cost $ 11.9 $ 10.5 $ 23.1 $ 21.1 The following table summarizes the finance lease amounts in the condensed consolidated balance sheets: June 30, December 31, ($ in millions) Balance Sheet Classification 2026 2025 ROU assets, net Other noncurrent assets $ 33.2 $ 34.7 Lease liabilities (current) Other current l …

Revenue recognition · 2,670 characters as filed
"Revenue Our revenue results from the sale of goods or services and reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. We record revenue based on a five-step model, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606. Following the identification of a contract with a customer, we identify the performance obligations (goods or services) in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and recognize the revenue when (or as) we satisfy the performance obligations by transferring the promised goods or services to our customers. A good or service is transferred when (or as) the customer obtains control of that good or service.
