• “There is economic uncertainty in some of our markets, driven in part by the recent spike in COVID-19 cases in many regions of the world. We expect to see gradual improvement in the second half of the year although this will be heavily dependent on the pace and breadth of the resumption of travel activity, the reopening of retail stores and general consumer spending confidence,” said Tanda.
• Aptar expects earnings per share for the third quarter of 2020, excluding any restructuring expenses and acquisition-related costs, to be in the range of $0.80 to $0.88. This guidance is based on an effective tax rate range of 28% to 30%.
