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" or "Merger");

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

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

  • risk that the Company's significant indebtedness may limit its flexibility and increase its borrowing costs;

  • risk that the Merger-related tax liabilities could have a material impact on the Company's financial results;

  • risk that the strategic review of our portfolio may cause disruptions to our business or may not result in completion of a transaction to restructure or divest non-core businesses or may not create additional value for our shareholders;

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

  • risk of 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, including impacts from the Middle East conflict;

  • impacts of operating internationally;

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

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

  • pandemics, epidemics, or other disease outbreaks;

  • an inability to attract, develop, and retain 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;

  • significant disruption at a key manufacturing facility;

  • 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;

  • 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 key operational 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;

  • changes in tax laws or changes in our geographic mix of earnings; and

  • changes in trade policy, including tariff and custom regulations or failure to comply with such regulations.

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, 2025, 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.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Management’s Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") should be read in conjunction with our Form 10-K for fiscal year 2025 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on August 15, 2025, together with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in Part 1, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. Throughout the MD&A, amounts and percentages may not recalculate due to rounding.

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"). The Reverse Split became effective on January 14, 2026. In connection with the Reverse Split, the par value of the Company's ordinary shares was increased to $0.05 and the Company's number of ordinary shares authorized was reduced to 1,800 million ordinary shares. All prior year ordinary share and per share amounts throughout this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effects of the Reverse Split.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no material changes in our market risk during the three months ended March 31, 2026. For additional information, refer to Note 9, "Fair Value Measurements," and Note 10, "Derivative Instruments," in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and to "Item 7A. - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2026. The term "disclosure controls and procedures," as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including its principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2026.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We completed our Merger with Berry on April 30, 2025. As noted under Item 9A, "Controls and Procedures", contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2025, management's assessment of, and conclusion on, the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting did not include the internal controls of the merged operations of Berry on April 30, 2025. Under SEC guidelines, companies are permitted to exclude acquisitions from their assessment of internal control over financial reporting for a period of up to one year following an acquisition. We are in the process of integrating Berry's and the Company's internal controls over financial reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the third quarter of fiscal year 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, except as noted.

Part II - Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The material set forth in Note 17, "Contingencies and Legal Proceedings," in "Item 1. Financial Statements - Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements" is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Other than the risk factor set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors contained in "Item 1A. - Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. Additional risks not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially affect our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Strategic Review of Portfolio - Our strategic review of our portfolio may cause disruptions to our business, may not result in the completion of a transaction to restructure or divest of non-core businesses or create additional value for our shareholders.

In August 2025, we announced that we had completed a review of portfolio-related strategic alternatives and identified businesses with combined sales of $2.5 billion for further review, which could result in restructuring or sale of the identified businesses, among other options. There is no assurance as to the timeline or outcome of the strategic review process, including that actions taken will increase shareholder value. In addition, the strategic review process may require the deployment of significant resources and expense and cause disruption in our business given speculation and uncertainty around our ultimate actions. If we are unable to mitigate these or other potential risks related to our strategic review of our portfolio, then this process may adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Share Repurchases

In the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the Company did not maintain a share repurchase program as the prior program had expired on its terms.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

Not applicable.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

Not applicable.

Item 5. Other Information

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, no director or Section 16 officer of the Company adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.
