Updates Outlook for Transition Period
ZURICH, November 4, 2026 - Amcor (NYSE: AMCR, ASX: AMC), a global leader in developing and producing responsible packaging solutions, today reported results for the quarter ended September 30, 2026.
Amcor CEO Peter Konieczny said, “We delivered solid operating results this quarter, with broad-based organic volume growth of 1%, led by 3% volume growth in the focus categories. Synergy realization was in line with expectations, and we are on track to achieve our three-year $650 million target.
Energy and distribution costs accelerated late in the quarter, which is creating a headwind in the transition period. Actions to address these inflationary pressures are underway, and we do not expect these higher costs to impact 2027 results.
Building on our broad-based momentum, we are focused on driving long-term sustainable volume growth, and we remain confident in delivering on our medium and long-term financial commitments.”

Financial Results
Three months ended September 30, 2026
Net sales of $6,129 million were 6% higher than last year on a constant currency basis, including an unfavorable impact from divestitures of approximately $112 million, or (2%) on net sales. The pass through of movements in raw material costs had a favorable impact of approximately $435 million, or 8% on net sales and the remaining 1% year over year increase reflects the net impact of volumes and price/mix.
Volumes were approximately 1% higher compared to the September quarter last year. Excluding non-core and divested businesses, volumes were approximately 1.5% higher than prior year. Volume growth was broad-based across nearly all end markets, led by strong growth in pet food, foodservice and beauty and wellness, and was partially offset by lower unconverted film volumes in North America. Across regions, volumes increased in all geographies, led by emerging markets. Price/mix did not have a material impact on net sales.
Adjusted EBIT of $689 million was in line with last year on a constant currency basis, including an unfavorable impact from divestitures of approximately $17 million, or (3%). The remaining 3% year-over-year variation mainly reflects synergy benefits from the Berry acquisition of approximately $50 million and higher volumes partly offset by expected incentive rebuild and the timing of pass-through of higher energy and distribution costs.
Adjusted EBIT margin of 11.2% was impacted by 90-basis point dilution related to increased sales dollars associated with passing through higher raw material costs. Excluding this impact, Adjusted EBIT margin was 12.1%, which was up 10 basis points to prior year on a comparable basis.
Net interest expense was $153 million and adjusted income tax expense was $96 million inclusive of acquisition related financial benefits of approximately $10 million. GAAP income tax expense was $58 million. Adjusted tax expense represents an effective tax rate of 18% in line with the same period last year. Net interest expense was $13 million higher than the prior year adjusted net interest expense primarily as a result of higher interest rates.
Free cash outflow of $820 million, after funding approximately $31 million of Berry related net restructuring and integration costs, was lower than prior year due to working capital impacts driven by resin price volatility related to the Middle East conflict.
Net debt was $14,011 million at September 30, 2026.
Dividend
Based on its confidence in the company's growth trajectory and its disciplined capital allocation strategy, the Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of 66.0 cents per share. This reflects a one cent per share increase compared with 65.0 cents per share in the same quarter last year, declared as 13.0 cents per share before adjusting for the 1-for-5 reverse stock split effected on January 14, 2026. The dividend will be paid in US dollars to holders of Amcor’s ordinary shares trading on the NYSE. Holders of CDIs trading on the ASX will receive an unfranked dividend of 94.0 Australian cents per share, which reflects the quarterly dividend of 66.0 cents per share converted at an AUD:USD average exchange rate of 0.7034 over the five trading days ended November 2, 2026.
The ex-dividend date will be November 24, 2026 for holders of CDIs trading on the ASX and November 25, 2026 for holders of shares trading on the NYSE. For all shareholders, the record date will be November 25, 2026 and the payment date will be December 16, 2026.
Updated Transition Period Outlook
Amcor will have a six-month reporting period from July 1, 2026, through December 31, 2026 ('Transition Period'), as part of transitioning from a previously announced June 30 to December 31 year-end.
For the Transition Period, the Company is lowering its outlook for Adjusted EPS to $1.70 to $1.80 from $1.80 to $1.90 due to the timing of pass-through of higher energy and distribution costs. The Company now expects leverage on December 31, 2026 of approximately 3.6x as compared to its previous expectation for leverage of 3.5 - 3.6x.
Outlook does not take into account the impact of potential portfolio optimization actions not announced to date. Outlook contemplates a range of factors, including ongoing geopolitical developments, which create a higher degree of uncertainty and additional complexity when estimating future financial results and actual results could vary materially. Reconciliations of projected non-GAAP measures are not included herein because the individual components are not known with certainty as individual financial statements for the periods referenced have not been completed. Refer to page 11 for further information.
(1) Leverage calculated as Net Debt divided by LTM Adjusted EBITDA plus share-based compensation.

You can obtain copies of Amcor’s filings with the SEC for free at the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov). Forward-looking statements included herein are made only as of the date hereof and Amcor does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, or any other information in this communication, as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, or to correct any inaccuracies or omissions in them which become apparent, except as expressly required by law. All forward-looking statements in this communication are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.
Presentation of non-GAAP information
Included in this release are measures of financial performance that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These measures include adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA (calculated as earnings before interest and tax and depreciation and amortization), adjusted EBIT and EBIT (calculated as earnings before interest and tax), adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted free cash flow, and net debt. In arriving at these non-GAAP measures, we exclude items that either have a non-recurring impact on the income statement or which, in the judgment of our management, are items that, either as a result of their nature or size, could, were they not singled out, potentially cause investors to extrapolate future performance from an improper base. Note that while amortization of acquired intangible assets is excluded from non-GAAP adjusted financial measures, the revenue of the acquired entities and all other expenses unless otherwise stated, are reflected in our non-GAAP financial performance earnings measures. While not all inclusive, examples of these items include: material restructuring programs, including associated costs such as employee severance, pension and related benefits, impairment of property and equipment and other assets, accelerated depreciation, termination payments for contracts and leases, contractual obligations, and any other qualifying costs related to restructuring plans; material sales and earnings from disposed or ceased operations and any associated profit or loss on sale of businesses or subsidiaries; changes in the fair value of economic hedging instruments on commercial paper and contingent purchase consideration; pension settlements; impairments in goodwill and equity method investments; material acquisition compensation and transaction costs such as due diligence expenses, professional and legal fees, financing-related expenses; and integration costs; material purchase accounting adjustments for inventory; amortization of acquired intangible assets from business combination; gains or losses on significant property and divestitures and significant property and other impairments, net of insurance recovery; certain regulatory and legal matters; impacts from highly inflationary accounting; expenses related to the Company's CEO and CFO transition; and impacts related to the Russia-Ukraine conflict and conflict in the Middle East.
Amcor also evaluates performance on a comparable constant currency basis, which measures financial results assuming constant foreign currency exchange rates used for translation based on the average rates in effect for the comparable prior year period. In order to compute comparable constant currency results, we multiply or divide, as appropriate, current-year U.S. dollar results by the current year average foreign exchange rates and then multiply or divide, as appropriate, those amounts by the prior-year average foreign exchange rates. We then adjust for other items affecting comparability. While not all inclusive, examples of items affecting comparability include the difference between sales or earnings in the current period and the prior period related to disposed, or ceased operations. Comparable constant currency net sales performance also excludes the impact from passing through movements in raw material costs.
Management has used and uses these measures internally for planning, forecasting and evaluating the performance of the Company’s reporting segments and certain of the measures are used as a component of Amcor’s Board of Directors’ measurement of Amcor’s performance for incentive compensation purposes. Amcor believes that these non-GAAP measures are useful to enable investors to perform comparisons of current and historical performance of the Company. For each of these non-GAAP financial measures, a reconciliation to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure has been provided herein. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an alternative to results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company provides guidance on a non-GAAP basis as we are unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome and timing of certain significant forward-looking items without unreasonable effort. These items include but are not limited to the impact of foreign exchange translation, restructuring program costs, asset impairments, possible gains and losses on the sale of assets, certain tax related events, and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections in connection with the legacy Berry Global business given recency of access to all relevant information. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on U.S. GAAP earnings and cash flow measures for the guidance period.
Reconciliations of Transition Period projected non-GAAP measures are not included herein because the individual components are not known with certainty as individual financial statements for Transition Period have not been completed.
Reverse Stock Split
On January 14, 2026, the Company filed an amendment to its memorandum of association to effect a 1-for-5 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Split”) of the Company's ordinary shares. The Reverse Split became effective on January 14, 2026 and reduced the number of authorized ordinary shares to 1,800,000,000 and increased the par value of the ordinary shares to $0.05 per share. Accordingly, all share and per share amounts for all prior periods presented in the discussion within this release have been adjusted retroactively, where applicable, to reflect the Reverse Split.
Dividends
Amcor has received a waiver from the ASX’s settlement operating rules, which will allow the Company to defer processing conversions between its ordinary share and CDI registers from November 24, 2026 to November 25, 2026 inclusive.
