Net income attributable to Amcor plc increased by $14 million, or 9%, for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024.

Diluted earnings per share ("Diluted EPS") decreased by $0.180, or 32%, for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024, with the net income available to ordinary shareholders of Amcor plc increasing by 9% due to the above items and the diluted weighted average number of shares increasing by 60% for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended December 31, 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.
