Current report

On November 19, 2024, the Company, Aurora Spirit, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Berry Global Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Berry”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). The Merger Agreement provides for the merger of Merger Sub with and into Berry (the “Merger”), with Berry surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Amcor. On April 30, 2025, we completed the transactions called for by the Merger Agreement to obtain all of the ownership interest in Berry for purchase consideration of $10.4 billion, not including Berry debt assumed by Amcor of approximately $5.2 billion. In connection with the closing of the Merger, we issued approximately 846 million ordinary shares to Berry shareholders, excluding shares for Berry vested share-based payment and cash settled awards at closing, and paid $2.2 billion in connection with the required extinguishment of certain Berry indebtedness using the proceeds from the cumulative issuance of $2.2 billion in long-term debt in March 2025. Refer to Part II, Item 8 - Financial Statements, Note 4, "Acquisitions and Divestitures" and Note 14, "Debt" for further information.

Current report

In connection with the Merger with Berry, the Company initiated restructuring and integration activities in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025 ("Berry Plan") aimed at integrating the combined organization. As previously announced, the Company continues to target realizing approximately $530 million of pre-tax synergies driven by procurement, supply chain, and general and administrative savings, $60 million in annual financial synergies and $60 million in pre-tax earnings benefits from growth synergies by the end of fiscal year 2028. The total Berry Plan pre-tax cash cost is estimated at $280 million, net, including restructuring activities and general integration expenses. The Berry Plan is expected to be completed by the end of fiscal year 2028.

Current report

The Company incurred $14 million in restructuring activities in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025 associated with the Berry Plan related to employee expenses in the Global Flexible Packaging Solutions segment. The Company also incurred $33 million in integration activities in fiscal year 2025 in both the Global Flexible Packaging Solutions segment and the Global Rigid Packaging Solutions segment and Corporate. To date, the Berry Plan has resulted in approximately $25 million of restructuring and integration related cash outflows.

Current report

While we generally manufacture our products in the local markets where they are sold, the volatility in tariffs may negatively impact customer and consumer demand, disrupt our supply chains, and increase inflation, raising our costs. In this context, we have remained focused on taking price and cost actions to offset inflation and aligning our cost base with market dynamics and expect to continue to do so. There is no assurance that we will meet our performance expectations or that ongoing geopolitical tensions, including disruptions related to tariffs and other factors, will not negatively impact our financial results.

Current report

Net sales increased by $1,369 million, or 10%, in fiscal year 2025, compared to fiscal year 2024. Excluding the increase of sales from the Merger with Berry Global Group, Inc. (the "Merger") of 12%, the positive impacts from the pass-through of higher raw material costs of $79 million, the negative currency impacts of $100 million, and the negative impacts from disposed operations of $126 million, the decrease in net sales for fiscal year 2025 was $65 million, reflecting higher sales volume of approximately 1% offset by unfavorable price/mix impact of approximately 1%, primarily due to lower volumes in high value healthcare categories in the first half of the year.

Current report

Net income attributable to Amcor plc decreased by $219 million, or 30%, in fiscal year 2025, compared to fiscal year 2024. This is mainly due to increased restructuring, transaction and integration expenses of $210 million associated with the Merger, higher selling, general, and administrative expenses of $112 million primarily due to the Merger, increase in amortization of acquired intangible assets of $79 million due to the Merger, increased interest expense of $48 million due primarily to Merger related financing and assumed debt, partially offset by the increase of gross profit of $122 million, other income/(expenses), net of $88 million, and a decrease in income tax expense of $28 million.

Current report

Net sales increased by $540 million, or 5%, in fiscal year 2025, compared to fiscal year 2024. Excluding the increase of sales from the Merger of approximately 4%, the positive impacts from the pass-through of higher raw material costs of $110 million, the negative currency impacts of $54 million, and the negative impacts from disposed operations of $26 million, the remaining increase in net sales for fiscal year 2025 was $74 million or 1%, reflecting favorable sales volumes of approximately 2% with growth delivered across all key regions, partially offset by unfavorable price/mix impact of approximately 1% primarily due to lower volumes in high value healthcare categories in the first half of the year.

Current report

SG&A expenses increased by $112 million, or 10%, in fiscal year 2025, compared to fiscal year 2024. The increase was primarily driven by the inclusion of two months of Berry SG&A in fiscal year 2025.

Current report

Amortization of acquired intangible assets increased by $79 million, or 47%, in fiscal year 2025, compared to fiscal year 2024. The increase was primarily driven by the additional intangible assets acquired in the Merger.

Current report

Consolidated Restructuring, Transaction and Integration Expenses, Net

Current report

Other income/(expenses), net changed by $88 million, in fiscal year 2025, compared to fiscal year 2024, primarily driven by the current year lower impacts of highly inflationary accounting for subsidiaries in Argentina, indirect tax benefits, and the gain on the divestiture of Bericap.

Current report

Net cash used in investing activities increased by $1,626 million in fiscal year 2025, compared to fiscal year 2024. The change is primarily driven by cash outflow resulting from the repayment of debt upon consummation of the merger with Berry partially offset by the proceeds received from the sale of Bericap in the current period.

Current report

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities changed by $1,767 million in fiscal year 2025, compared to fiscal year 2024. The change is primarily driven by the issuance of $2.2 billion in senior notes and an increase in the issuance of commercial paper in the current period related to the Berry Merger, partially offset by the repayment of senior notes in the current period.

Current report

On August 5, 2024, we entered into an interest rate swap contract for a notional amount of $500 million, which was subsequently downsized to $400 million notional on November 4, 2024. Under the terms of the contract, we paid a fixed rate of interest of 4.30% and received a variable rate of interest, based on compound overnight SOFR, effective from August 12, 2024, through June 30, 2025, with monthly settlements commencing on September 1, 2024. The interest rate swap contract economically hedged the SOFR component of our forecasted commercial paper issuances.

Current report

On March 17, 2025, we issued additional guaranteed senior notes in an aggregate principal amount of $2.2 billion (collectively, the “Notes”). The Notes consist of (i) $725 million principal amount of 4.800% Guaranteed Senior Notes due 2028, (ii) $725 million principal amount of 5.100% Guaranteed Senior Notes due 2030 and (iii) $750 million principal amount of 5.500% Guaranteed Senior Notes due 2035. The Notes are senior unsecured obligations and are unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by us and certain of our subsidiaries.

Current report

In connection with the Merger (refer to Note 4, "Acquisitions and Divestitures"), we entered into a commitment letter with lending institutions, dated as of November 19, 2024, to provide a 364-day senior unsecured bridge loan facility (the "Bridge Facility") in an aggregate principal amount of up to $3.0 billion to fund the repayment of certain outstanding debt of Berry upon the closing of the Merger, and the payment of fees and expenses related to the Merger. We paid a commitment fee of $11 million on the Bridge Facility in the three months ended December 31, 2024. On February 13, 2025, we voluntarily reduced the commitments under the Bridge Facility by $800 million to an aggregate principal amount of $2.2 billion. On March 17, 2025, following the issuance of Notes (as defined above), the commitment for the Bridge Facility was terminated.

Current report

We record business combinations resulting in the consolidation of an enterprise using the purchase method of accounting. We recognize the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interests in an acquired business at their fair values as of the date of acquisition. Goodwill is measured as the excess of the consideration transferred, also measured at fair value, over the net of the acquisition date fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The acquisition method of accounting requires us to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets.

Amcor is a global leader in developing and producing responsible packaging solutions across a variety of materials for food, beverage, pharmaceutical, medical, home and personal-care, and other products. We work with leading companies around the world to protect products, differentiate brands, and improve supply chains. We offer a range of innovative, differentiating flexible and rigid packaging, specialty cartons, closures and services. We are focused on making packaging that is increasingly recyclable, reusable, lighter weight, and made using an increasing amount of recycled content. In fiscal year 2024, 41,000 Amcor people generated $13.6 billion in annual sales from operations that span 212 locations in 40 countries.

Previous report

After experiencing more challenging market conditions in calendar year 2023 which impacted both fiscal year 2023 and fiscal year 2024 with softer consumer and customer demand and increased destocking, customer volume trajectory sequentially improved in the second half of fiscal year 2024 with a return to volume growth in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024. The improvement in the second half of fiscal year 2024 is attributed primarily to the abatement of destocking across many end markets and higher customer demand in parts of our business. While we continue to be impacted by softer consumer demand and customer order volatility in certain markets, and higher inflation in certain areas, such as labor costs, we have flexed our cost base to adjust to market conditions. Higher inflation, especially in Europe and the United States over the last two fiscal years, has led central banks to rapidly raise interest rates to dampen inflation which has resulted in higher interest expense on our variable rate debt, particularly on U.S. dollar and Euro denominated debt.

Previous report

Management initiated other restructuring actions in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022 to help mitigate the impact of the Russian sale. Management expects to realize an annualized pre-tax benefit of approximately $50 million from structural cost reduction actions taken as a result of all Russia related restructuring by the end of fiscal year 2025.

Previous report

Net sales decreased by $1,054 million, or 7%, in fiscal year 2024, compared to fiscal year 2023. Excluding the positive currency impacts of $171 million, the negative impacts from the pass-through of lower raw material costs of $220 million, and the negative impact from the disposed Russian business of $156 million, the remaining decrease in net sales for fiscal year 2024 was $849 million, or 6%, reflecting 5% lower sales volumes and an unfavorable price/mix impact of 1%.

Previous report

Net income attributable to Amcor plc decreased by $318 million, or 30%, in fiscal year 2024, compared to fiscal year 2023. This is mainly due to the non-recurrence of the pre-tax net gain of $215 million on disposal of the Russian business in fiscal year 2023, a decrease in other income/(expenses), net of $61 million, primarily from the adverse impact on monetary balances from highly inflationary accounting in Argentina, and higher net interest expense of $51 million, offset by a decrease in income tax expense of $30 million.

Previous report

Net sales decreased by $822 million, or 7%, in fiscal year 2024, compared to fiscal year 2023. Excluding the positive currency impacts of $141 million, the negative impacts from the pass-through of lower raw material costs of approximately $180 million, and the negative impact from the disposed Russian business of $156 million, the remaining variation in net sales for fiscal year 2024 was a decrease of approximately $625 million, or 6%. This stems from unfavorable sales volumes of 4%, mainly reflecting lower market and customer demand and destocking most notably within the first half of the year, and unfavorable price/mix impact of 2%.

Previous report

Net cash used in investing activities increased by $167 million in fiscal year 2024, compared to fiscal year 2023. The increase is primarily driven by the disposal proceeds collected from the sale of the Russian business in the prior period, partially offset by lower outflows for investments in affiliated companies and business acquisitions compared to the prior period.

Previous report

Net cash used in financing activities decreased by $168 million in fiscal year 2024, compared to fiscal year 2023. The change is primarily driven by lower share buyback activity in the current period.

Previous report

As of June 30, 2024, we had undrawn credit facilities available in the amount of $2.4 billion. Our senior facilities are available to fund working capital, growth capital expenditures, and refinancing obligations and are provided to us by two bank syndicates.

Previous report

Disposal groups held for sale are assessed for impairment by comparing their fair values, less cost to sell, to their carrying values. The fair values of disposal groups held for sale are estimated using accepted valuation techniques, including earnings multiples, discounted cash flows, and indicative bids. Several significant estimates and assumptions are involved in the application of these techniques, including forecasting sales, expenses, and various other factors. We consider historical experience, guidance received from third parties, and all information available at the time the estimates are made to derive fair value. However, the fair value that is ultimately realized upon the divestiture of a business may significantly differ from the estimated fair value recognized in our consolidated financial statements, especially for disposal groups located in conflict regions. Refer to Note 5, "Acquisitions and Divestitures."
Reworded paragraphs (47)

Previous wording

The underlying causes for the market volatility experienced can be attributed to a variety of factors, such as geopolitical tension and conflicts, higher inflation in many economies impacting consumption and consumer demand, and customer destocking following a period of supply chain constraints. In this context, we have remained focused on taking price and cost actions to offset inflation, aligning our cost base with market dynamics, and managing working capital.

Current wording

Market dynamics remain challenging with softer consumer demand and customer order volatility in certain markets, and higher costs in certain areas, including labor costs, during fiscal year 2025. Despite these hurdles, we have benefited from overall sales volume growth of approximately 1% during fiscal year 2025 compared to the prior fiscal year, with sales volumes in North America generally softening sequentially in the second half of fiscal year 2025. The underlying causes for the market volatility being experienced can be attributed to a variety of factors, such as geopolitical tension and conflicts, volatility and changes in U.S. domestic and global tariff frameworks and inflation in many economies impacting consumption and consumer demand. Rapid changes in U.S. trade policies, including the announcement of wide-spread tariff increases which were paused and then re-announced, amid persistent inflation in the U.S., has resulted in lower consumer demand across many categories. Recent finalization of U.S. trade agreements with certain trading partners, including the United Kingdom and the European Union, helps to reduce trade tensions, but the overall impact of these agreements remains uncertain as many details still need to be negotiated.

Previous wording

On February 7, 2023, we announced that we expect to invest $110 million to $130 million of the sale proceeds from the Russian business in various cost savings initiatives to partly offset divested earnings from the Russian business (the "2023 Restructuring Plan" or the "Plan"). We expect total Plan cash and non-cash net expenses to total approximately $220 million, of which approximately $130 million is expected to result in net cash expenditures. Of the remaining cash received from the sale of the Russian business, we allocated $100 million to repurchase shares and the remainder was used to reduce debt. From the initiation of the Plan through June 30, 2024, we have incurred $82 million in employee related expenses, $31 million in fixed asset related expenses, $47 million in other restructuring expenses, and $21 million in restructuring related expenses. To date, the Plan has resulted in approximately $70 million of net cash outflows.

Current wording

On February 7, 2023, we announced that we expected to invest $110 million to $130 million of the sale proceeds from the Russian business in various cost savings initiatives to partly offset divested earnings from the Russian business (the "2023 Restructuring Plan" or the "Plan"). The expenditures associated with the Plan were completed as of June 30, 2025, with Plan cash and non-cash net expenses of $225 million, of which $104 million related to employee related expenses, $33 million to fixed asset related expenses (net of gains on disposals), $57 million to other restructuring expenses, and $31 million to restructuring related expenses. The Plan has resulted in $114 million of cumulative net cash outflows to date, with total net cash expenditures of $28 million remaining. The increase in net cash spend over the original Plan is primarily the result of a pause in asset sales included in the Plan given the Merger with Berry.

Previous wording

We have subsidiaries in Argentina that historically had a functional currency of the Argentine Peso. As of June 30, 2018, the Argentine economy was designated as highly inflationary for accounting purposes. Accordingly, beginning July 1, 2018, we began reporting the financial results of our Argentine subsidiaries with a functional currency of the Argentine Peso at the functional currency of the parent, which is the U.S. dollar. Following the governmental election in the second quarter of fiscal year 2024, Argentina devalued the Argentine Peso by approximately 55% against the U.S. dollar and the Argentine peso has since been relatively stable against the U.S. dollar. Highly inflationary accounting resulted in a negative impact of $53 million and $24 million in foreign currency transaction losses that were reflected in the consolidated statements of income for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Our operations in Argentina represented approximately 2% of our consolidated net sales and annual adjusted earnings before interest and tax in the last two fiscal years.

Current wording

We have subsidiaries in Argentina that historically had a functional currency of the Argentine Peso. As of June 30, 2018, the Argentine economy was designated as highly inflationary for accounting purposes. Accordingly, beginning July 1, 2018, we began reporting the financial results of our Argentine subsidiaries with a functional currency of the Argentine Peso at the functional currency of the parent, which is the U.S. dollar. Following the governmental election in the second quarter of fiscal year 2024, Argentina devalued the Argentine Peso by approximately 55% against the U.S. dollar. In April 2025, the Argentine government lifted its capital controls over the Argentine peso and implemented a currency band within which the government will allow the Argentine peso to trade against the U.S. dollar and enables the Central Bank of Argentina to increase its reserves. The measures taken in April 2025 resulted in a devaluation of approximately 10%. Highly inflationary accounting resulted in a negative impact of $16 million and $53 million in foreign currency transaction losses that were reflected in the consolidated statements of income for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively. Our operations in Argentina represented approximately 2% of our consolidated net sales and annual adjusted earnings before interest and tax in fiscal year 2025.

Previous wording

Diluted earnings per share ("Diluted EPS") decreased by $0.200, or 28%, in fiscal year 2024, compared to fiscal year 2023, with the net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of Amcor plc decreasing by 30% due to the above items and the diluted weighted-average number of shares outstanding decreasing by 2% in fiscal year 2024, compared to fiscal year 2023. The decrease in the diluted weighted-average number of shares outstanding was largely due to the repurchase of shares under previously announced share buyback programs.

Current wording

Diluted earnings per share ("Diluted EPS") decreased by $0.185, or 37%, in fiscal year 2025, compared to fiscal year 2024, with the net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of Amcor plc decreasing by 30% due to the above items and the diluted weighted-average number of shares outstanding increasing by 11% in fiscal year 2025, compared to fiscal year 2024. The increase in the diluted weighted-average number of shares outstanding was largely due to the completion of the Merger with Berry and the related share issuances.

Previous wording

Adjusted earnings before interest and tax ("Adjusted EBIT") decreased by $34 million, or 2% in fiscal year 2024, compared to fiscal year 2023. Excluding positive currency impacts of $15 million and the negative net impact from the disposed Russian business of $50 million, the remaining variation in Adjusted EBIT for fiscal year 2024 was an increase of $1 million, reflecting the net positive effect of 7% from favorable operating cost performance more than offsetting unfavorable volumes, but largely offset by net negative price/mix of 7%.

Current wording

Adjusted earnings before interest and tax ("Adjusted EBIT") increased by $63 million, or 5% in fiscal year 2025, compared to fiscal year 2024. Excluding the positive impacts from the Merger of approximately 4%, partially offset by the negative currency impacts of $10 million, the remaining variation in Adjusted EBIT for fiscal year 2025 was an increase of $23 million or 2%, reflecting higher volumes of approximately 5%, strong cost performance of approximately 11%, partially offset by unfavorable impacts from price/mix of approximately 14%.

Previous wording

Net sales decreased by $232 million, or 7%, in fiscal year 2024, compared to fiscal year 2023. Excluding the positive currency impacts of $30 million and the negative impact from the pass-through of lower raw material costs of approximately $40 million, the remaining variation in net sales for fiscal year 2024 was a decrease of approximately $225 million, or 6%, reflecting unfavorable volumes of 8%, partly offset by price/mix benefits of approximately 2%.

Current wording

Net sales increased by $829 million, or 25%, in fiscal year 2025, compared to fiscal year 2024. Excluding the increase of sales from the Merger of approximately 35%, the negative impacts from disposed operations of $100 million, the negative currency impacts of $46 million, and the negative impact from the pass-through of lower raw material costs of $31 million, the remaining variation in net sales for fiscal year 2025 was a decrease of $139 million, or 4%, reflecting unfavorable volumes of approximately 2% and unfavorable price/mix benefits of approximately 2%.
