Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Amcor plc reported significantly higher results for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2026, largely driven by its acquisition of Berry. Third-quarter net sales reached $5,914 million, up 77%, with adjusted EBITDA of $892 million, up 87%, and adjusted EBIT of $687 million, up 79%. Adjusted EPS was $0.96, 6% higher, while GAAP EPS was $0.60. For the first nine months, net sales were $17,108 million, up 72%, and adjusted EPS rose 11% to $2.79. The company now expects full-year adjusted EPS of $3.98 to $4.03, about 12% growth at the midpoint, and has revised free cash flow guidance to $1.5–$1.6 billion to reflect higher inventories linked to the Middle East conflict. Amcor also declared a quarterly dividend of $0.65 per share (91.0 Australian cents for CDIs).
Positive
- Strong top- and bottom-line growth: Q3 net sales rose 77% to $5,914 million, adjusted EBITDA increased 87% to $892 million, and nine-month adjusted EPS grew 11% to $2.79, reflecting scale from the Berry acquisition and synergy capture.
- Raised earnings outlook with synergy benefits: Fiscal 2026 adjusted EPS guidance of $3.98–$4.03 implies about 12% growth at the midpoint and includes $270 million of pre-tax synergy benefits related to the Berry acquisition.
Negative
- Lower free cash flow guidance and higher leverage: Fiscal 2026 free cash flow guidance was cut to $1.5–$1.6 billion from $1.8–$1.9 billion due to higher inventories tied to the Middle East conflict, while net debt increased to $14,266 million at March 31, 2026.
Insights
Berry-driven scale lifts earnings, but cash flow guidance eases.
Amcor delivered substantial year-on-year growth, with Q3 net sales of $5,914 million up 77% and adjusted EBITDA of $892 million up 87%, helped by the Berry acquisition and early synergy capture.
Margins improved as adjusted EBITDA margin reached 15.1% and adjusted EBIT margin 11.6% in Q3. Nine-month adjusted EPS rose 11% to $2.79, and guidance targets full‑year adjusted EPS of $3.98–$4.03, about 12% growth at the midpoint.
Free cash flow guidance was reduced to $1.5–$1.6 billion from $1.8–$1.9 billion due to higher-cost inventories maintained amid the Middle East conflict. Net debt stood at $14,266 million on March 31, 2026, so progress on synergy delivery, cash generation and portfolio optimization in filings covering the year ending June 30, 2026 will be important for balance sheet trends.

6 terms
Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA $892 million, up 87% and adjusted EBIT $687 million, up 79%"
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.
Free Cash Flow financial
"Free Cash Flow revised to be $1.5-1.6 billion"
Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.
reverse stock split financial
"All periods presented in this release have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the 1-for-5 reverse stock split effected on January 14, 2026"
A reverse stock split is when a company reduces the number of its shares outstanding, making each share more valuable. For example, if you own 100 shares worth $1 each, a 1-for-10 reverse split would turn your 100 shares into 10 shares worth $10 each. Companies often do this to boost their stock price and appear more stable to investors.
synergy benefits financial
"Includes pre-tax synergy benefits related to the Berry acquisition of $270 million"
constant currency basis financial
"Net sales of $5,914 million were 70% higher than last year on a constant currency basis"
A "constant currency basis" is a way companies compare financial results by removing the effects of changing exchange rates between different currencies. It helps show how the business is really performing, without the confusion caused by currency value swings, much like adjusting for inflation to see true growth.
non-GAAP measures financial
"Adjusted non-GAAP results exclude items not considered representative of ongoing operations"
Financial results that companies present using formulas or adjustments different from standard accounting rules (GAAP) to highlight what management considers the business’s ongoing performance. Investors care because these figures can make trends or profitability look clearer—like showing a car’s fuel efficiency after removing unusual trips—but they can also hide one‑time costs or aggressive assumptions, so comparing them with GAAP numbers helps judge reliability.

Financial Results
Three months ended March 31, 2026
Net sales of $5,914 million were 70% higher than last year on a constant currency basis, including approximately $2.4 billion of acquired sales net of divestments, which represents growth of approximately 71%. The pass through of movements in raw material costs had no material impact on net sales and the remaining (1%) year over year variation reflects the impact of volumes and price/mix.
The Company estimates that volumes were approximately 1.5% lower than estimated combined volumes for the legacy Amcor and legacy Berry businesses in the March quarter last year, excluding non-core and divested businesses. The Company estimates that price/mix did not have a material impact on net sales.
Adjusted EBIT of $687 million was 72% higher than last year on a constant currency basis, including approximately $239 million of acquired EBIT net of divestments which represents growth of approximately 62%. The remaining 10% year over year variation mainly reflects synergy benefits from the Berry acquisition of approximately $57 million and continued disciplined execution against cost and productivity initiatives, partly offset by lower volumes.
GAAP net interest expense was $153 million and GAAP income tax expense was $32 million. Inclusive of acquisition related financial benefits of approximately $20 million, adjusted net interest expense was $150 million and adjusted tax expense was $91 million representing an effective tax rate of 17.0%. Adjusted net interest expense was $79 million higher than the prior year primarily as a result of increased acquisition related net debt.
Free cash outflow of $39 million was in-line with expectations after funding approximately $78 million of net transaction, restructuring and integration costs.
Net debt was $14,266 million at March 31, 2026.
Nine months ended March 31, 2026
Net sales of $17,108 million were 67% higher than last year on a constant currency basis, including approximately $6.9 billion of acquired sales net of divestments, which represents growth of approximately 69%. The pass through of movements in raw material costs had no material impact on net sales and the remaining (2%) year over year variation reflects the impact of volumes and price/mix.
Adjusted EBIT of $1,977 million was 73% higher than last year on a constant currency basis, including approximately $746 million of acquired EBIT net of divestments which represents growth of approximately 67%. The remaining 6% year over year variation mainly reflects synergy benefits from the Berry acquisition of approximately $140 million partly offset by lower volumes.
GAAP net interest expense was $460 million and GAAP income tax expense was $84 million. Inclusive of acquisition related financial benefits of approximately $30 million, adjusted net interest expense was $431 million and adjusted tax expense was $253 million representing an effective tax rate of 16.3%.
Free cash outflow was $93 million after funding approximately $262 million of net transaction, restructuring and integration costs. Prior to funding of transaction, restructuring and integration related cash costs, cash flow increased by approximately $186 million compared with last year.
Dividend
The Board's confidence in Amcor's near and long term growth opportunities and ability to generate significant free cash flow is reflected in today's declaration of a quarterly cash dividend of 65.0 cents per share, compared with 63.75 cents per share in the same quarter last year, declared as 12.75 cents per share before adjusting for the 1-for-5 reverse stock split effected on January 14, 2026. The dividend will be paid in US dollars to holders of Amcor’s ordinary shares trading on the NYSE. Holders of CDIs trading on the ASX will receive an unfranked dividend of 91.0 Australian cents per share, which reflects the quarterly dividend of 65.0 cents per share converted at an AUD:USD average exchange rate of 0.7167 over the five trading days ended May 4, 2026.
The ex-dividend date will be May 27, 2026 for holders of CDIs trading on the ASX and May 28, 2026 for holders of shares trading on the NYSE. For all shareholders, the record date will be May 28, 2026 and the payment date will be June 17, 2026.

Fiscal 2026 Guidance
For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026, the Company expects:
•Adjusted EPS of approximately $3.98 to $4.03
▪Represents growth of approximately 12% at the midpoint
▪Mitigating adjusted EPS impact of Middle East conflict
▪Includes pre-tax synergy benefits related to the Berry acquisition of $270 million
•Free Cash Flow of $1.5 billion to $1.6 billion
▪Relative to previous $1.8 billion to $1.9 billion which assumed ~$200 million of inventory reduction by year end, now reflects higher inventory levels at higher cost to secure customer service levels given the impact of the Middle East conflict
Amcor’s guidance for fiscal 2026 reflects a full 12 months ownership of the Berry business and does not take into account the impact of potential portfolio optimization actions that may be completed through the year.
Amcor’s guidance contemplates a range of factors, including ongoing geopolitical developments related to the conflict in the Middle East, which creates a higher degree of uncertainty and additional complexity when estimating future financial results, and actual results could vary materially. Reconciliations of the fiscal 2026 projected non-GAAP measures are not included herein because the individual components are not known with certainty as individual financial statements for fiscal 2026 have not been completed.

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.

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.
Presentation of non-GAAP information
Included in this release are measures of financial performance that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These measures include adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA (calculated as earnings before interest and tax and depreciation and amortization), adjusted EBIT and EBIT (calculated as earnings before interest and tax), adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted free cash flow, and net debt. In arriving at these non-GAAP measures, we exclude items that either have a non-recurring impact on the income statement or which, in the judgment of our management, are items that, either as a result of their nature or size, could, were they not singled out, potentially cause investors to extrapolate future performance from an improper base. Note that while amortization of acquired intangible assets is excluded from non-GAAP adjusted financial measures, the revenue of the acquired entities and all other expenses unless otherwise stated, are reflected in our non-GAAP financial performance earnings measures. While not all inclusive, examples of these items include: material restructuring programs, including associated costs such as employee severance, pension and related benefits, impairment of property and equipment and other assets, accelerated depreciation, termination payments for contracts and leases, contractual obligations, and any other qualifying costs related to restructuring plans; material sales and earnings from disposed or ceased operations and any associated profit or loss on sale of businesses or subsidiaries; changes in the fair value of economic hedging instruments on commercial paper and contingent purchase consideration; pension settlements; impairments in goodwill and equity method investments; material acquisition compensation and transaction costs such as due diligence expenses, professional and legal fees, financing-related expenses; and integration costs; material purchase accounting adjustments for inventory; amortization of acquired intangible assets from business combination; gains or losses on significant property and divestitures and significant property and other impairments, net of insurance recovery; certain regulatory and legal matters; impacts from highly inflationary accounting; expenses related to the Company's CEO and CFO transition; and impacts related to the Russia-Ukraine conflict and conflict in the Middle East.
Amcor also evaluates performance on a comparable constant currency basis, which measures financial results assuming constant foreign currency exchange rates used for translation based on the average rates in effect for the comparable prior year period. In order to compute comparable constant currency results, we multiply or divide, as appropriate, current-year U.S. dollar results by the current year average foreign exchange rates and then multiply or divide, as appropriate, those amounts by the prior-year average foreign exchange rates. We then adjust for other items affecting comparability. While not all inclusive, examples of items affecting comparability include the difference between sales or earnings in the current period and the prior period related to disposed, or ceased operations. Comparable constant currency net sales performance also excludes the impact from passing through movements in raw material costs.
Management has used and uses these measures internally for planning, forecasting and evaluating the performance of the Company’s reporting segments and certain of the measures are used as a component of Amcor’s Board of Directors’ measurement of Amcor’s performance for incentive compensation purposes. Amcor believes that these non-GAAP measures are useful to enable investors to perform comparisons of current and historical performance of the Company. For each of these non-GAAP financial measures, a reconciliation to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure has been provided herein. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an alternative to results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company provides guidance on a non-GAAP basis as we are unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome and timing of certain significant forward-looking items without unreasonable effort. These items include but are not limited to the impact of foreign exchange translation, restructuring program costs, asset impairments, possible gains and losses on the sale of assets, certain tax related events, and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections in connection with the legacy Berry Global business given recency of access to all relevant information. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on U.S. GAAP earnings and cash flow measures for the guidance period.
Reconciliations of fiscal 2026 projected non-GAAP measures are not included herein because the individual components are not known with certainty as individual financial statements for fiscal 2026 have not been completed.
Reverse Stock Split
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”) of the Company's ordinary shares. The Reverse Split became effective on January 14, 2026 and reduced the number of authorized ordinary shares to 1,800,000,000 and increased the par value of the ordinary shares to $0.05 per share. Accordingly, all share and per share amounts for all prior periods presented in the discussion within this release have been adjusted retroactively, where applicable, to reflect the Reverse Split.
Presentation of combined volume performance
In order to provide the most meaningful comparison of results of volume performance by region and end market for Amcor plc and for each of its reportable segments, the Company has included commentary to reflect Amcor’s estimate of year-over-year volume performance for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026 compared with estimated combined volumes for the legacy Amcor and Berry Global businesses for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025. The combined volume performance information has been presented for informational purposes and Amcor believes this information reflects the impact of the combination including allocation of volumes across the combined production footprint since May 1, 2025. For the avoidance of doubt, combined volume performance information is not intended to be, and was not, prepared on a basis consistent with pro forma financial information required by Article 11 of Regulation S-X.
Dividends
Amcor has received a waiver from the ASX’s settlement operating rules, which will allow the Company to defer processing conversions between its ordinary share and CDI registers from May 27, 2026 to May 28, 2026 inclusive.
