REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM




To the Participants and the Administrator of
West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. 401(k) Plan:


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the "Plan"), as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan's control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The supplemental information in the accompanying schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2015, has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. 401(k) Plan's financial statements. The supplemental information is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental information. In forming our opinion on the supplemental information in the accompanying schedule, we evaluated whether the supplemental information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In our opinion, the supplemental information in the accompanying schedule is fairly stated in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

WEST PHARMACEUTICAL SERVICES, INC. 401(k) PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015 AND 2014



NOTE A - Description of Plan

The following description of the West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. (the “Company” or "Plan Administrator") 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”), as amended and restated effective October 26, 2012, provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan’s current provisions.

General
The Plan is a defined contribution profit-sharing plan, designed to comply with Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), that also satisfies the matching contribution "safe harbor" provisions of the Code. The Plan is available to eligible full-time employees of the Company who have completed three months of service and are at least eighteen years of age. It is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”), as amended.

Master Trust
Effective January 3, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company (“VFTC”) to form a master trust (“Master Trust”) to hold certain investments of the Plan and the Tech Group Puerto Rico Savings and Retirement Plan on a commingled basis, for investment purposes only. The sole investment in the Master Trust is common stock of the Company (the “West Stock Fund”). See Note C for more information regarding the Master Trust.

Contributions
Participants may contribute up to 75% of pre-tax annual compensation to the Plan, of which all or a portion can be designated by the participant as Roth contributions. Participants can also contribute amounts representing distributions from other qualified defined benefit or defined contribution plans, as well as Roth rollover contributions.

The Company matches 100% of the first 3% of base compensation that a participant contributes to the Plan and 50% of the next 2% of contributions.

Investments
The Plan offers mutual funds, a collective trust fund, and the West Stock Fund as investment options for participants. The Company's Investment Committee periodically reviews and may make changes to the investment alternatives available. In 2015, the Plan replaced its series of Vanguard target-date collective trust funds with lower-cost Vanguard target-date mutual funds.

Participants may change or transfer their investment options at any time. Participants may not allocate future contributions to, or make purchases into, the West Stock Fund if their current balance in the fund exceeds 20% of their total account balance. The portion of the Plan which is invested in the West Stock Fund has been designated as an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”). Participants have the option to elect to receive dividends paid on shares of stock held in the ESOP in cash or have them reinvested in the West Stock Fund. If no election is made, the dividends are reinvested.

Company matching contributions are invested according to the investment allocations made for participant contributions.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015 AND 2014



NOTE A - Description of Plan - continued

Participant Accounts
Individual accounts are maintained for each Plan participant. Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contribution, the Company’s matching contribution and an allocation of Plan earnings (losses), and charged with certain administrative expenses. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant's vested account.

Vesting
Participants are immediately vested in their contributions and Company matching contributions, plus earnings thereon.

Forfeited Accounts
Forfeitures result from non-vested accounts of participants that terminated prior to 2012. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, the balance of forfeited accounts totaled $933 and $1,462, respectively. During 2015, no forfeitures were used to reduce Company matching contributions or pay administrative expenses. Forfeitures of $3,342 were used to during 2014 to pay administrative expenses.

Notes Receivable from Participants
Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a maximum amount equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of the vested portion of their account balances. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant's account. Loan terms generally range from one to five years, except for loans to purchase a principal residence which may be repaid over fifteen years, and bear interest at the Prime rate plus 1% as published on the first business day of each month following a change in the rate, as determined on the date the loan is made. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, interest rates on outstanding loans ranged from 4.25% to 10.00%. Principal and interest are paid ratably through payroll deductions.

Benefits
Benefits are payable upon termination of a participant's employment, or termination of service due to death, disability or retirement. Participants may make in-service withdrawals in accordance with the provisions outlined in the Plan document. Generally, any benefit due shall be paid as soon as administratively feasible.

NOTE B - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting
The accompanying financial statements of the Plan are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying footnotes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE B - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Valuation of Investments and Income Recognition
The Plan's investments are stated at fair value. See Note D for discussion of fair value measurements, with the exception of the Master Trust, which is discussed in Note C. Purchases and sales of investments are recorded on a trade-date basis. The Plan presents in its statements of changes in net assets available for benefits the net (depreciation) appreciation in the fair value of its investments which consists of both realized and unrealized gains and losses.

Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Capital gain distributions are included in dividend income. Interest income is accrued when earned.

Vanguard Retirement Savings Trust
The Plan holds an investment in a Vanguard retirement savings trust, which is a stable value collective trust fund. This trust fund invests in investment contracts issued by insurance companies and commercial banks and in investment contracts backed by high-quality fixed income securities. The fund seeks to minimize exposure to credit risk by diversifying among high credit-quality investments and investment contracts which are structured to smooth market gains and losses over time.

Payment of Benefits
Benefits are recorded when paid. Delinquent notes receivable from participants are treated as distributions based upon the terms of the Plan document.

Plan Expenses
Administrative expenses of the Plan are paid jointly by participants and the Company.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement
In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued guidance to reduce complexity in employee benefit plan accounting. The guidance, which is broken into three parts, addresses the accounting for fully benefit-responsive investment contracts, plan investment disclosures and a measurement date practical expedient for employee benefit plans. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. We adopted Parts I and II of this guidance for the 2015 plan year. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Plan's financial statements. Prior year amounts and disclosures have been revised to reflect the retrospective application of this guidance. Part III is not applicable to the Plan.

In May 2015, the FASB issued amended guidance on the disclosure requirements for certain investments whose fair value was measured using the net asset value ("NAV") per share practical expedient. In addition, the guidance eliminates the requirement to categorize such investments within the fair value hierarchy table. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this guidance for the 2015 plan year. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Plan's financial statements. Prior year disclosures have been revised to reflect the retrospective application of this guidance.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE C - Master Trust

As mentioned in Note A, a portion of the Plan’s investments are held in a Master Trust, commingled with assets of another Company-sponsored retirement plan. The sole investment in the Master Trust is the West Stock Fund.

The total fair value of the Master Trust's investment in the West Stock Fund, as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, was $37,069,515 and $38,002,999, respectively. The West Stock Fund is valued at the year-end unit closing price, which is comprised of the quoted market price of the Company stock plus an uninvested cash portion, which is considered a Level 1 fair value measurement.

The Plan’s share of the Master Trust's net assets and investment activities is based upon the total of each individual participant's share of the Master Trust. The Plan's interest in the net assets of the Master Trust was 99.81% and 99.89%, as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The changes in net assets for the Master Trust for the years ended December 31 are as follows:

NOTE D - 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 entity’s own assumptions.

(a) In accordance with the new accounting guidance mentioned in Note B, certain investments measured at NAV have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amounts presented in this table are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the line items presented in the statements of net assets available for benefits.

The valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value are as follows:

Mutual funds: Valued at quoted market prices, which represent the NAV of shares held by the Plan at year-end.

Collective trust funds: Comprised of a stable value fund and target-date retirement trusts (2014 only). Refer to Note B, Vanguard Retirement Savings Trust, for a description of the investment strategy related to the stable value fund. The target-dated trusts invest in mutual funds using a diversified asset allocation strategy consistent with the participants' current stage of life. The Plan's holdings in the target-dated and stable value trusts at year-end are valued at NAV, as provided by the trustee of each fund. The NAV, which is used as a practical expedient to estimate fair value, is based on the fair value of the underlying investments held by each trust less their liabilities. There are no unfunded commitments related to these trusts. Redemptions are permitted daily with no advance notice requirement.

WEST PHARMACEUTICAL SERVICES, INC. 401(k) PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015 AND 2014



NOTE E - Risks and Uncertainties

The Plan provides for various investment options in any combination of stocks, mutual funds, and collective trust funds. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks in the near term would materially affect participants' account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits and the statements of changes in net assets available for benefits.

NOTE F - Related Party Transactions

The Plan invests in both shares of mutual funds and units of collective trust funds, which are managed by VFTC, a subsidiary of The Vanguard Group, Inc. VFTC acts as Trustee for these investments, as well as the West Stock Fund, as defined by the Plan. Therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions, which are exempt from the prohibited transaction rules. In addition, loans to participants qualify as party-in-interest transactions.

NOTE G - Plan Termination

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of termination of the Plan, participants' accounts will be distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.

NOTE H - Tax Status

The Plan obtained its latest determination letter on September 16, 2013, in which the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") stated that the Plan, as then designed, was in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code.

In January 2016, the Plan was retroactively amended and restated for the late adoption of certain regulatory requirements. In addition, the Company submitted to the IRS a request for a compliance statement under the Voluntary Correction Program (“VCP”). The Plan Administrator and the Plan’s tax counsel believe that by entering the VCP, the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan’s financial statements.

U.S. GAAP requires Plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the U.S. federal, state or local authorities. The Plan Administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan, and has concluded that, as of December 31, 2015, there were no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The Plan Administrator believes the Plan is no longer subject to income tax examinations prior to 2012.
