Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 - Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
Amcor plc ("Amcor" or the "Company") is a global packaging company that develops and produces a broad range of packaging products including flexible packaging, rigid packaging containers, specialty cartons, and closures.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information. Consistent with these requirements, this Form 10-Q does not include all the information required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Further, the year-end Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data as of June 30, 2021 was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. It is management's opinion, however, that all material and recurring adjustments have been made that are necessary for a fair statement of its interim financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. For further information, this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. There have been no material changes to the accounting policies followed by the Company during the current fiscal year.
Certain amounts in the Company's notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements may not add or recalculate due to rounding.
Note 2 - New Accounting Guidance
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In December 2019, the FASB issued updated guidance to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions and improving the consistent application of U.S. GAAP in other tax accounting areas. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods, and any interim periods within those annual periods, that begin after December 15, 2020 with early adoption permitted. The guidance became effective for the Company on July 1, 2021 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In November 2021, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2021-10 that adds certain disclosure requirements for entities that receive government assistance. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021 with early application permitted. The Company will adopt this guidance in fiscal year 2023 and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its results of operation, financial position, and disclosures.
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs issued by the FASB. The Company determined at this time that all other ASUs not yet adopted are either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on its results of operation, financial position, and disclosures.
Note 3 - Restructuring
2019 Bemis Integration Plan
In connection with the acquisition of Bemis Company, Inc. ("Bemis"), the Company initiated restructuring activities in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019 aimed at integrating and optimizing the combined organization. The Company is on track to exceed the original target of $180 million of pre-tax synergies driven by procurement, supply chain, and general and administrative savings by the end of fiscal year 2022 by at least 10%.
The Company's total 2019 Bemis Integration Plan pre-tax integration costs are expected to be approximately $250 million. The total 2019 Bemis Integration Plan costs include approximately $210 million of restructuring and related expenses, net, and $40 million of general integration expenses. The Company estimates that net cash expenditures including disposal proceeds will be approximately $170 million, of which $40 million relates to general integration expenses. As of March 31, 2022, the Company has incurred $143 million in employee related expenses, $39 million in fixed asset related expenses, $35 million in other restructuring and $36 million in restructuring related expenses, partially offset by a gain on disposal of a business of $51 million. The nine months ended March 31, 2022 resulted in net cash outflows of $38 million, of which $36 million were payments related to restructuring and related expenditures. Cash payments of approximately $30 million are expected for the balance of the fiscal year for restructuring and related expenses. The 2019 Bemis Integration Plan relates to the Flexibles segment and Corporate and is expected to be substantially completed by the end of fiscal year 2022.
Restructuring related costs are directly attributable to restructuring activities; however, they do not qualify for special accounting treatment as exit or disposal activities. General integration costs are not linked to restructuring. The Company believes the disclosure of restructuring related costs provides more information on the total cost of the 2019 Bemis Integration Plan. The restructuring related costs relate primarily to the closure of facilities and include costs to replace graphics, train new employees on relocated equipment, and anticipated losses on sale of closed facilities.
Other Restructuring Plans
The Company has entered into other individually immaterial restructuring plans ("Other Restructuring Plans"). The Company's restructuring charges related to these plans were zero and a gain of $4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, and charges of $1 million and $5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company's total incurred restructuring charges for Other Restructuring Plans primarily relate to the Flexibles reporting segment.
Consolidated Amcor Restructuring Plans
The total costs incurred from the beginning of the Company's 2019 Bemis Integration Plan and Other Restructuring Plans are as follows:

Note 5 - Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, Net
Goodwill
Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill attributable to each reportable segment were as follows:
| ($ in millions) | Flexibles Segment | Rigid Packaging Segment | Total | |||||||||||||||||
| Balance as of June 30, 2021 | $ | 4,437 | $ | 982 | $ | 5,419 | ||||||||||||||
| Foreign currency translation | (40) | — | (40) | |||||||||||||||||
| Balance as of March 31, 2022 | $ | 4,397 | $ | 982 | $ | 5,379 |
Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year, or during interim periods if events or circumstances arise which indicate that goodwill may be impaired. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2022, the Company evaluated the need to perform an interim impairment test of goodwill given the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The Company’s analysis concluded that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Company’s reporting units with operations in Russia and Ukraine exceeds the carrying value and therefore a triggering event for an interim impairment test had not occurred. The Company will continue to monitor the impacts of the Russia-Ukraine conflict on its business which may indicate the need to perform future impairment analyses of goodwill.

Note 6 - Fair Value Measurements
The fair values of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities listed below reflect the amounts that would be received to sell the assets or paid to transfer the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price).
The Company’s non-derivative financial instruments primarily include cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, short-term debt, and long-term debt. As of March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021, the carrying value of these financial instruments, excluding long-term debt, approximated fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
The carrying value of long-term debt with variable interest rates approximates its fair value. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt with fixed interest rates is based on market prices, if available, or expected future cash flows discounted at the current interest rate for financial liabilities with similar risk profiles.
The carrying value and estimated fair value of long-term debt with fixed interest rates (excluding commercial paper and finance leases) were as follows:

Assets and Liabilities Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Additionally, the Company measures and records certain assets and liabilities, including derivative instruments and contingent purchase consideration liabilities, at fair value. The following table summarizes the fair value of these instruments, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, by level, within the fair value hierarchy:

The fair value of the commodity contracts was determined using a discounted cash flow analysis based on the terms of the contracts and observed market forward prices discounted at a currency-specific rate. Forward exchange contract fair values were determined based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets using inputs, such as currency rates and forward points. The fair value of the interest rate swaps was determined using a discounted cash flow method based on market-based swap yield curves, taking into account current interest rates.
Contingent purchase consideration liabilities arise from business acquisitions. As of March 31, 2022, the Company's contingent purchase consideration liabilities consist of a $10 million liability that is contingent on future royalty income generated by Discma AG, a subsidiary acquired in March 2017, and a $6 million balance relating to consideration for small business acquisitions where payments are contingent on the Company vacating a certain property or performance criteria. The fair value of the contingent purchase consideration liabilities was determined for each arrangement individually. The fair value was determined using the income approach with significant inputs that are not observable in the market. Key assumptions include the discount rates consistent with the level of risk of achievement and probability adjusted financial projections. The expected outcomes are recorded at net present value, which requires adjustment over the life for changes in risks and probabilities. Changes arising from modifications in forecasts related to contingent consideration are expected to be immaterial.
The fair value of contingent purchase consideration liabilities is included in other current liabilities and other non-current liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Assets and Liabilities Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
In addition to assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company records assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The Company measures certain assets, including technology intangible assets, equity method and other investments, and other long-lived and intangible assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when they are deemed to be other than temporarily impaired. The fair values of these assets are determined, when applicable, based on valuation techniques using the best information available, and may include quoted market prices, market comparables, and discounted cash flow projections.
Resulting from the disposal of non-core assets during the nine months ended March 31, 2022, the Company has recorded an expense of $9 million, predominantly to adjust the long-lived assets to their fair value less cost to sell as determined in reference to the selling price in the signed sale and purchase agreement. During the nine months ended March 31, 2022, long-lived assets with a carrying value of $12 million were written down to a fair value of zero as the Company's Durban, South Africa, manufacturing facility was destroyed in a fire as the result of general civil unrest. In addition, other long-lived assets in South Africa, with a carrying amount of $8 million, were written down to their estimated fair value of $4 million using level 3 inputs. These expenses are included within other income/(expense), net in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income. The Company sold its equity method investment in AMVIG Holdings Limited ("AMVIG") on September 30, 2020. Refer to Note 15, "Disposals."
The Company tests indefinite-lived intangibles for impairment when facts and circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable from their undiscounted cash flows. During the nine months ended March 31, 2022, and 2021, there were no indefinite-lived intangible impairment charges recorded. Refer to Note 5, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, Net," for information on interim impairment assessments.
Note 7 - Derivative Instruments
The Company periodically uses derivatives and other financial instruments to hedge exposures to interest rate, commodity price, and currency risks. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. For hedges that meet the hedge accounting criteria, the Company, at inception, formally designates and documents the instrument as a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge of a specific underlying exposure. On an ongoing basis, the Company assesses and documents that its hedges have been and are expected to continue to be highly effective.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s policy is to manage exposure to interest rate risk by maintaining a mixture of fixed-rate and variable-rate debt, monitoring global interest rates and, where appropriate, hedging floating interest rate exposure or debt at fixed interest rates through various interest rate derivative instruments, including, but not limited to, interest rate swaps, cross-currency interest rate swaps, and interest rate locks. For interest rate swaps that are accounted for as fair value hedges, the gains and losses related to the changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps are included in interest expense and offset changes in the fair value of the hedged portion of the underlying debt that are attributable to the changes in market interest rates. Changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps that have not been designated as hedging instruments are reported in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income under other non-operating income, net.
In December 2021, the Company entered into an aggregate $250 million notional amount of receive-fixed/pay-variable interest rate swaps, which will mature on May 15, 2028. These swaps were designated as a fair value hedge against 50% of $500 million of principal on the 4.50% U.S. dollar notes due in May 2028. Also during December 2021, the Company settled $100 million of a receive-fixed/pay-variable interest rate swap as a result of the full redemption of $275 million 5.95% U.S. private placement notes at maturity. This interest rate swap was designated as a fair value hedge at inception.
In July 2021, the Company terminated $400 million of its receive-fixed/pay-variable interest rate swaps that were designated as fair value hedges and received $2 million in net proceeds. This termination was in association with the full redemption of the $400 million 4.50% U.S. dollar notes due October 2021, completed on July 15, 2021. In July 2021, the Company also terminated an aggregate amount of €300 million (equivalent of $357 million) receive-fixed/pay-variable interest rate swaps and received €13 million (equivalent of $15 million) in net proceeds. These interest rate swaps, which were to mature in March 2023, were designated as fair value hedges against €300 million of principal on the 2.75% Euro bonds due March 2023. The gain on the termination of the aforementioned swaps is deferred and is being amortized to interest income over the remaining contractual term of the 2.75% Euro bonds due March 2023.
As of March 31, 2022, and June 30, 2021, the total notional amount of the Company’s receive-fixed/pay-variable interest rate swaps accounted for as fair value hedges was $650 million and $1,257 million, respectively.
Foreign Currency Risk
The Company manufactures and sells its products and finances its operations in a number of countries throughout the world and, as a result, is exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. The purpose of the Company’s foreign currency hedging program is to manage the volatility associated with the changes in exchange rates.
To manage this exchange rate risk, the Company utilizes forward contracts. Contracts that qualify for hedge accounting are designated as cash flow hedges of certain forecasted transactions denominated in foreign currencies. The effective portion of the changes in fair value of these instruments is reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCI") and reclassified into earnings in the same financial statement line item and in the same period or periods during which the related hedged transactions affect earnings. The ineffective portion is recognized in earnings over the life of the hedging relationship in the same unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income line item as the underlying hedged item. Changes in the fair value of forward contracts that have not been designated as hedging instruments are reported in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income.
As of March 31, 2022, and June 30, 2021, the notional amount of the outstanding forward contracts was $1.0 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively.
Commodity Risk
Certain raw materials used in the Company's production processes are subject to price volatility caused by weather, supply conditions, political and economic variables, and other unpredictable factors. The Company's policy is to minimize exposure to price volatility by passing through the commodity price risk to customers, including through the use of fixed price
swaps. The Company purchases on behalf of customers fixed price commodity swaps to offset the exposure of price volatility on the underlying sales contracts. These instruments are cash closed out on maturity and the related cost or benefit is passed through to customers. Information about commodity price exposure is derived from supply forecasts submitted by customers and these exposures are hedged by a central treasury unit. Changes in the fair value of commodity hedges are recognized in AOCI. The cumulative amount of the hedge is recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income when the forecasted transaction is realized.
The Company had the following outstanding commodity contracts to hedge forecasted purchases:

On October 12, 2021, the Company contracted with Pacific Life Insurance Company to purchase a group annuity contract and to transfer $186 million of its pension plan assets and related benefit obligations. This transaction required a remeasurement of the pension plan assets and obligations and resulted in the recognition of a $3 million non-cash pension settlement loss in the nine months ended March 31, 2022.
Note 9 - Debt
On December 15, 2021, the Company redeemed U.S. private placement notes of a principal amount of $275 million at maturity using the proceeds from the commercial paper program. The notes carried an interest rate of 5.95%.
On July 15, 2021, the Company redeemed U.S. dollar notes of a principal amount of $400 million. The notes had a contractual maturity of October 15, 2021 and carried an interest rate of 4.50%.
Note 10 - Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 is based on the Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate for the respective fiscal years, and is applied on income before income taxes and equity in income of affiliated companies, and adjusted for specific items that are required to be recognized in the period in which they are incurred.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased by 0.2 percentage points compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 from 20.8% to 21.0% primarily due to timing of discrete events in the corresponding periods, including benefits on integration and restructuring costs in the prior period and changes to the taxability of certain items. For the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the effective tax rates were 21.8% and 21.7%, respectively.

Note 13 - Earnings Per Share Computations
The Company applies the two-class method when computing its earnings per share ("EPS"), which requires that net income per share for each class of share be calculated assuming all of the Company's net income is distributed as dividends to each class of share based on their contractual rights.
Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income available to ordinary shareholders by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding, after excluding the ordinary shares to be repurchased using forward contracts. Diluted EPS includes the effects of share options, restricted shares, performance rights, performance shares, and share rights, if dilutive.

Note: Per share amounts are computed independently for each of the quarters presented. The sum of the quarters may not equal the total year amount due to the impact of changes in average quarterly shares outstanding and all other quarterly amounts may not equal the total year due to rounding.
Certain outstanding share options were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation because they were anti-dilutive. The excluded share options for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022 represented an aggregate of 9 million and 6 million shares, respectively. The excluded share options for three and nine months ended March 31, 2021 represented an aggregate of 2 million and 8 million shares, respectively.
Note 14 - Contingencies and Legal Proceedings
Contingencies - Brazil
The Company's operations in Brazil are involved in various governmental assessments and litigation, principally related to claims for excise and income taxes. The Company vigorously defends its positions and believes it will prevail on most, if not all, of these matters. The Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will materially impact the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. Under customary local regulations, the Company's Brazilian subsidiaries may need to post cash or other collateral, if a challenge to any administrative assessment proceeds to the Brazilian court system. However, the level of cash or collateral already pledged or potentially required to be pledged would not significantly impact the Company's liquidity. At March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021, the Company had recorded accruals of $13 million and $11 million, respectively, included in other non-current liabilities. The Company has estimated a reasonably possible loss exposure in excess of the accrual of $22 million and $17 million at March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively. The litigation process is subject to many uncertainties and the outcome of individual matters cannot be accurately predicted. The Company routinely assesses these matters as to probability of ultimately incurring a liability and records the best estimate of the ultimate loss in situations where the likelihood of an ultimate loss is probable. The Company's assessments are based on its knowledge and experience, but the ultimate outcome of any of these matters may differ from the Company's estimates.
As of March 31, 2022, the Company has provided letters of credit of $39 million, judicial insurance of $1 million, and deposited cash of $12 million with the courts to continue to defend the cases.
Contingencies - Environmental Matters
The Company, along with others, has been identified as a potentially responsible party ("PRP") at several waste disposal sites under U.S. federal and related state environmental statutes and regulations and may face potentially material environmental remediation obligations. While the Company benefits from various forms of insurance policies, actual coverage may not, or may only partially, cover the total potential exposures. The Company has recorded aggregate accruals of $17 million for its share of estimated future remediation costs at these sites.
In addition to the matters described above, the Company has also recorded aggregate accruals of $47 million for potential liabilities for remediation obligations at various worldwide locations that are owned or operated by the Company, or were formerly owned or operated.
While the Company believes that its accruals are adequate to cover its future obligations, there can be no assurance that the ultimate payments will not exceed the accrued amounts. Nevertheless, based on the available information, the Company does not believe that its potential environmental obligations will have a material adverse effect upon its liquidity, results of operations, or financial condition.
Other Matters
In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to legal proceedings, lawsuits, and other claims. While the potential financial impact of these matters is subject to many factors and uncertainties, the outcome of these matters, individually and in the aggregate, is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operation.
Note 15 - Disposals
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2022, the Company completed the disposal of non-core assets in the Flexibles reporting segment. The Company recorded an expense of $9 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2022 to adjust the long-lived assets to their fair value, refer to Note 6, "Fair Value Measurements."
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, the Company disposed of an equity method investment and other non-core businesses. The Company completed the sale of the equity method investment in AMVIG on September 30, 2020, realizing a net gain of $15 million, which was recorded in the line equity in income of affiliated companies, net of tax. The Company also completed the disposal of two non-core businesses in India and Argentina in the Flexibles segment during the first quarter of fiscal 2021, recording a loss on sale of $6 million, which was primarily driven by the reclassification of cumulative translation adjustments through the income statements that had previously been recorded in other comprehensive income. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, as part of optimizing its portfolio under the Bemis Integration restructuring plan, the Company completed the disposal of a non-core European hospital supplies business which was part of the Flexibles reporting segment. The resulting gain from the sale has been recorded in the line restructuring and related expenses, net. Refer to Note 3, "Restructuring."
Note 16 - Subsequent Events
On May 3, 2022, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.12 per share to be paid on June 14, 2022 to shareholders of record as of May 25, 2022. Amcor has received a waiver from the Australian Securities Exchange ("ASX") settlement operating rules, which will allow Amcor to defer processing conversions between ordinary share and CHESS Depositary Instrument ("CDI") registers from May 24, 2022 to May 25, 2022, inclusive.
On April 26, 2022, the Company terminated the three-, four-, and five-year syndicated facility agreements. The three facility agreements provided collectively $3.8 billion of credit facilities. On the same day, the Company entered into three- and five-year syndicated facility agreements that each provide for a revolving credit facility in an aggregate committed amount of $1.9 billion, $3.8 billion in total. The three- and five-year agreements are unsecured and have contractual maturities in April, 2025 and April, 2027, respectively. The Company has an option to extend both facilities by one year, subject to certain conditions set forth in the agreements. Further information can be found in the related Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on April 28, 2022.
