This urgent need takes Catalent to a whole new level of “essential”—with speed, quality, and patient expectations like none that any of us has experienced in our careers. I couldn’t be prouder to be part of this industry, or of the Catalent team, but we’re also conscious of the enormous responsibilities ahead as a partner on over 50 COVID-19-related potential treatments and vaccines across all four of our business segments, including three Operation Warp Speed vaccine candidates. I am also pleased to report that S&P Dow Jones Indices has added Catalent to its S&P 500® index effective September 21, 2020. This designation is an affirmation of our strategy and the substantial progress we’ve made in executing it since our IPO in 2014. None of this would have been possible without the passion and dedication of our 14,000 employees, whose commitment to our mission to help people live better, healthier lives has propelled Catalent to where we are today.

Catalent was not only very well-positioned to weather this crisis, but, because of the transformative acquisitions we made over the last several years, combined with our strategic internal investments, capabilities, and expertise, we are now a “go-to” partner for COVID-19 response work. Nearly all our dosage forms are engaged with a COVID-19 treatment or vaccine candidate or clinical trial; and we are proud to have built the capability to provide multi-dose vial filling for potentially billions of COVID-19 vaccine doses, if needed. These important COVID-19 response programs illustrate our broad capabilities, both geographically and technologically, which are available not only for COVID 19 programs, but also for the increasingly wide range of products we manufacture on behalf of customers every year.
