Amcor CEO Peter Konieczny said, "We delivered strong operating performance in the fourth quarter despite a challenging macro environment. We drove broad-based volume growth, while effectively managing unprecedented input cost inflation. Synergy realization came in ahead of plan, while performance in our non-core businesses improved substantially.

Looking ahead, we are encouraged by the momentum we see across the business and the greater potential for growth and continued synergy capture following the transformative acquisition of Berry. As we complete the integration and begin to realize our potential as a global leader in consumer packaging, we remain confident in delivering on our medium and long-term commitments."

Financial results

Three months ended June 30, 2026

Net sales of $6,398 million were 26% higher than last year on a reported basis, including approximately $962 million of acquired sales net of divestitures, which represents growth of approximately 19%. The pass through of movements in raw material costs had a favorable impact of approximately $280 million, which represents growth of approximately 6%, movements in foreign exchange rates had a favorable impact of approximately 2% and the remaining (1%) year-over-year variation reflects the net impact of volumes and price/mix.

The Company estimates that volumes were approximately 0.5% higher than estimated combined volumes for the legacy Amcor and legacy Berry businesses in the June quarter last year, excluding non-core and divested businesses. The Company estimates that price/mix had an unfavorable impact of approximately (1%) on comparable prior year net sales, excluding non-core and divested businesses.

Adjusted EBIT of $836 million was 37% higher than last year on a reported basis, including approximately $96 million of acquired EBIT net of divestitures, which represents growth of approximately 15%. Movements in foreign exchange rates had a favorable impact of approximately 3% and the remaining 19% year-over-year variation mainly reflects synergy benefits from the Berry acquisition of approximately $100 million and strong execution against initiatives to drive cost and productivity benefits, including in the non-core businesses.

GAAP net interest expense was $150 million and GAAP income tax expense was $97 million. Inclusive of acquisition- related financial benefits of approximately $15 million, adjusted net interest expense was $150 million and adjusted tax expense was $116 million representing an effective tax rate of 16.8%. Adjusted net interest expense was $36 million higher than the prior year primarily as a result of increased acquisition related net debt.

Twelve months ended June 30, 2026

Net sales of $23,506 million were 57% higher than last year on a reported basis, including approximately $7.9 billion of acquired sales net of divestitures, which represents growth of approximately 52%. The pass through of movements in raw material costs had a favorable impact of approximately $240 million, which represents growth of approximately 2%, movements in foreign exchange rates had a favorable impact of approximately 5% and the remaining (2%) year-over-year variation reflects the net impact of volumes and price/mix.

Adjusted EBIT of $2,813 million was 63% higher than last year on a reported basis, including approximately $842 million of acquired EBIT net of divestitures, which represents growth of approximately 49%.

GAAP net interest expense was $610 million and GAAP income tax expense was $181 million. Inclusive of acquisition-related financial benefits of approximately $45 million, adjusted net interest expense was $581 million and adjusted tax expense was $368 million representing an effective tax rate of 16.5%.
