Relationship with Ardagh Group
Ardagh Metal Packaging is described as an operating business of Ardagh Group. Ardagh Group S.A. is a global supplier of sustainable, infinitely recyclable metal and glass packaging for brand owners around the world, operating 58 metal and glass production facilities in 16 countries. Company announcements state that Ardagh Group benefits from a leading market position in all geographies where it operates.
Ardagh Group is the controlling shareholder of AMP and indirectly owns a majority of the company’s outstanding ordinary shares and all of its outstanding preferred shares. Public communications from July and October 2025 explain that Ardagh Group has undertaken a comprehensive recapitalization transaction involving its senior secured notes, senior unsecured notes and PIK notes. These announcements specify that this recapitalization has no impact on the listing of Ardagh Metal Packaging S.A.’s shares or the capital structure of AMP, and that AMP remains a subsidiary of Ardagh Group.
Capital markets and listing
Ardagh Metal Packaging S.A. states that its ordinary shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "AMBP". In a Form 6-K filed in November 2025, the company reported that the NYSE notified it of an intention to commence delisting proceedings with respect to the company’s warrants, which trade under the ticker symbol "AMBP.WS", due to what the NYSE described as "abnormally low selling price" levels of the warrants. Trading of the warrants on the NYSE was halted, and the company indicated it did not intend to appeal this determination.
The same filing explains that the NYSE’s delisting action relates only to the warrants and "will not impact the listing of the Company’s ordinary shares, which will continue to trade on the NYSE under the ticker symbol 'AMBP'." A subsequent Form 25 filed by the NYSE in December 2025 concerns the removal from listing and/or registration of the warrants, each of which is exercisable for one share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, and does not refer to the delisting of the ordinary shares.
Financial reporting and performance themes
AMP provides regular financial updates through quarterly press releases and Form 6-K filings. These communications include revenue, profit for the period, Adjusted EBITDA, earnings per share and dividend information, as well as commentary on shipment volumes and regional performance.
In its 2025 quarterly results, the company discussed:
- Global beverage can shipment growth, with growth in the Americas and Europe.
- Changes in Adjusted EBITDA driven by volume/mix effects, operational and overhead costs, and input cost recovery.
- Liquidity measures, including total liquidity and net debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratios.
- Capital expenditure levels and the proportion of capex relating to growth investment.
- Regular quarterly ordinary dividends per share.
These disclosures provide investors with insight into how AMP’s metal can manufacturing operations translate into financial performance across its two segments.
Sustainability and recyclable packaging
Both AMP and its parent Ardagh Group highlight sustainability and recyclability in their descriptions. AMP refers to its metal beverage cans as sustainable and infinitely recyclable. Ardagh Group describes itself as a global supplier of sustainable, infinitely recyclable metal and glass packaging.
In its third quarter 2025 results release, AMP noted the publication of a sustainability report and highlighted progress towards certain emissions targets, including reductions in scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions relative to a baseline year. These disclosures indicate that environmental performance and emissions reduction form part of the company’s reported priorities.
Dividends and shareholder returns
AMP has announced quarterly interim dividends on its ordinary shares through press releases furnished on Form 6-K. For example, in October 2025 the company reported that its board of directors approved a quarterly interim dividend per ordinary share, with details of payment and record dates. The company has also discussed its capital allocation priorities in the context of earnings releases, referencing the continuation of regular quarterly ordinary dividends.
Use of non-IFRS measures
AMP’s earnings releases and Form 6-K filings explain that the company uses certain non-IFRS financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted operating cash flow, Adjusted free cash flow and net debt. The company notes that these measures are not calculated in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies, and should be considered in addition to, but not as substitutes for, IFRS measures.
Status and corporate developments
Based on the provided filings and news, AMP continues to operate as a metal beverage can manufacturer and as a subsidiary of Ardagh Group. The comprehensive recapitalization transaction described in Ardagh Group’s announcements relates to Ardagh Group’s capital structure and ownership, and company statements specify that this transaction does not change the listing or capital structure of Ardagh Metal Packaging S.A.
The NYSE’s actions described in late 2025 relate to the delisting of the company’s warrants, not its ordinary shares. The company has stated that its ordinary shares remain listed on the NYSE under the symbol AMBP.
