Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Unless otherwise indicated, references to "Amcor," the "Company," "we," "our," and "us" in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q refer to Amcor plc and its consolidated subsidiaries.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain statements that are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are generally identified with words like "believe," "expect," "target," "project," "may," "could," "would," "approximately," "possible," "will," "should," "intend," "plan," "anticipate," "commit," "estimate," "potential," "ambitions," "outlook," or "continue," the negative of these words, other terms of similar meaning, or the use of future dates. Such statements are based on the current expectations of the management of Amcor and are qualified by the inherent risks and uncertainties surrounding future expectations generally. Actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of risks and uncertainties. Neither Amcor nor any of its respective directors, executive officers, or advisors, provide any representation, assurance, or guarantee that the occurrence of the events expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements will actually occur or if any of them do occur, what impact they will have on the business, results of operations or financial condition of Amcor. Should any risks and uncertainties develop into actual events, these developments could have a material adverse effect on Amcor's business, including the ability to successfully realize the expected benefits of the merger of Amcor and Berry Global Group, Inc. Risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from expectations include, but are not limited to:

  • risks arising from the integration of the Amcor and Berry Global Group, Inc., ("Berry") businesses as a result of the Merger completed on April 30, 2025 (the "Transaction");

  • risk that the anticipated benefits of the Transaction may not be realized when expected or at all;

  • risk of unexpected costs or expenses resulting from the Transaction;

  • risk of further litigation related to the Transaction as two lawsuits have been filed;

  • risk that the Transaction may have an adverse effect on our ability to retain key personnel and customers;

  • general economic, market and social developments and conditions;

  • evolving legal, regulatory and tax regimes under which we operate;

  • changes in consumer demand patterns and customer requirements in numerous industries;

  • the loss of key customers, a reduction in their production requirements, or consolidation among key customers;

  • significant competition in the industries and regions in which we operate;

  • an inability to expand our current business effectively through either organic growth, including product innovation, investments, or acquisitions;

  • challenging global economic conditions;

  • impacts of operating internationally;

  • price fluctuations or shortages in the availability of raw materials, energy and other inputs, and the introduction of new tariffs, which could adversely affect our business;

  • production, supply, and other commercial risks, including counterparty credit risks, which may be exacerbated in times of economic volatility;

  • pandemics, epidemics, or other disease outbreaks;

  • an inability to attract and retain our global executive team and our skilled workforce and manage key transitions;

  • labor disputes and an inability to renew collective bargaining agreements at acceptable terms;

  • physical impacts of climate change;

  • cybersecurity risks, which could disrupt our operations or risk of loss of our sensitive business information;

  • failures or disruptions in our information technology systems which could disrupt our operations, compromise customer, employee, supplier, and other data;

  • a significant increase in our indebtedness or a downgrade in our credit rating could reduce our operating flexibility and increase our borrowing costs and negatively affect our financial condition and results of operations;

  • rising interest rates that increase our borrowing costs on our variable rate indebtedness and could have other negative impacts;

  • foreign exchange rate risk;

  • a significant write-down of goodwill and/or other intangible assets;

  • a failure to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting;

  • an inability of our insurance policies, including our use of a captive insurance company, to provide adequate protection against all of the risks we face;

  • an inability to defend our intellectual property rights or intellectual property infringement claims against us;

  • litigation, including product liability claims or litigation related to Environmental, Social, and Governance ("ESG") matters, or regulatory developments;

  • increasing scrutiny and changing expectations from investors, customers, suppliers, and governments with respect to our ESG practices and commitments resulting in additional costs or exposure to additional risks;

  • changing ESG government regulations including climate-related rules;

  • changing environmental, health, and safety laws; and

  • changes in tax laws or changes in our geographic mix of earnings.

These risks and uncertainties are supplemented by those identified from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including without limitation, those described under Part I, "Item 1A - Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, and as updated by our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. 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.
