(Reuters) - Catalent (NYSE:CTLT) will delay its quarterly filing with the U.S. securities regulator due to a goodwill impairment charge of about $700 million related to acquisitions in the company's consumer health and biomodalities unit, the company said late Monday.

The contract drug manufacturer, whose annual results were delayed several times this year to account for production snags, said it will report preliminary first-quarter results on Wednesday.

The company in May recorded a $210 million impairment charge related to its consumer health unit's $1-billion acquisition of gummy vitamins maker Bettera Holdings in 2021.
