Key Terms

adjusted ebitda, constant currency, ifrs 15, asset-based lending facility
4 terms
adjusted ebitda financial
"with Adjusted EBITDA growth of 15% versus the prior year"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
constant currency financial
"represented a 15% increase (+11% at constant currency) versus the prior year"
Constant currency is a way of measuring financial results that removes the effects of changes in currency exchange rates. It allows for a clearer comparison of a company's performance over time by showing what the numbers would look like if exchange rates had stayed the same. This helps investors understand whether growth comes from actual business improvements or just currency fluctuations.
ifrs 15 regulatory
"favorable volume/mix effects (including the impact of IFRS 15 contract asset)"
IFRS 15 is an international accounting rule that tells companies when and how to record revenue from contracts with customers, covering sales, services, subscriptions and multi-part deals. It matters to investors because it determines the timing and amount of revenue shown in financial reports, affecting profit figures, comparisons between companies, and valuation models — think of it like rules for deciding when to count partial payments for a long project as income.
asset-based lending facility financial
"completed the refinancing of the asset-based lending facility, which was upsized"
A lending arrangement where a company borrows money using specific assets—such as unpaid customer invoices, inventory, or equipment—as collateral, similar to using items at a pawn shop to get a short-term loan. Investors care because it alters a company’s cash flow and risk profile: it can provide quick working capital but increases secured obligations and can affect lenders’ priority if the business runs into financial trouble. The terms and size of the facility also influence borrowing costs and financial flexibility.

Oliver Graham, CEO of Ardagh Metal Packaging (AMP), said:

"We are pleased to report strong first quarter results for AMP, with Adjusted EBITDA growth of 15% versus the prior year, significantly ahead of our guidance and demonstrating the resilience of our business. Beverage can sales declined by 1% versus the prior year quarter, in line with our expectations, as we cycled strong prior year growth (+6%) and due to the impact of contract resets in North America.

Our Adjusted EBITDA outperformance in the quarter was driven by Europe, which benefitted from strong input cost recovery and favorable volume/mix. Performance in the Americas was broadly in line with expectations. Brazil delivered strong results driven by above-market volume growth, which was offset by the impact of a more challenging operating environment in North America, where we experienced higher costs associated with aluminum supply chain disruptions, which we expect to continue into Q2.

We reaffirm our full year Adjusted EBITDA guidance for 2026 despite macro-economic and geopolitical uncertainty - and the associated increases in certain input costs - and we continue to anticipate moderate global shipments growth. AMP's guidance is supported by our first quarter outperformance, our robust contractual cost pass-through mechanisms, energy hedging arrangements, and volume outlook, all of which help mitigate the potential impact of higher commodity prices."

  • Global beverage can shipments declined by 1% in the quarter versus the prior year quarter, which was driven by a decline of 2% in the Americas – a decline in North America of 5% offsetting growth of 14% in Brazil – and a decline of 1% in Europe.
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $179 million for the quarter was ahead of our guidance range of $160–170 million, driven by a strong outperformance in Europe, and represented a 15% increase (+11% at constant currency) versus the prior year quarter.
  • In the Americas Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter decreased by 2% to $104 million due to supply chain disruptions - reflecting adverse weather and expected disruption to aluminum supply - driving higher operations and overhead costs, and lower input cost recovery, partly offset by favorable volume/mix effects.
  • In Europe Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter increased by 53% (+36% at constant currency) to $75 million, due to stronger input cost recovery, currency movements and favorable volume/mix, partly offset by higher operational and overhead costs.
  • Strong total liquidity position of $488 million at March 31, 2026. In the quarter AMP completed the refinancing of the asset-based lending facility, which was upsized to $450 million and its maturity date extended to January 2031.
  • On April 6, 2026, a court in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois entered a jury verdict in connection with a lawsuit filed against Boston Beer in 2022 for breach of contract in respect of minimum volume purchase requirements, awarding damages of approximately $175 million, plus pre-judgment interest if assessed, to the Group, subject to any post-trial motions.
  • Regular quarterly ordinary dividend of 10c announced. No change to capital allocation priorities.
  • 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance unchanged: Full year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $750–775 million and modest global shipments growth. Adjusted EBITDA growth driven by favorable volume/mix, operating cost improvements and currency effects.
  • Second quarter Adjusted EBITDA expected to be in the range of $210-220 million. This compares with Q2 2025 Adjusted EBITDA of $210 million ($212 million at constant currency) and takes into account strong prior year shipments growth of 5%.
