AMCR SEC Filings

Amcor plc's 2026 Form 10-K highlights a transformative fiscal year marked by the significant merger with Berry Global Group, Inc., completed in April 2025. This acquisition has substantially expanded Amcor's scale and product portfolio, positioning it as a global leader in primary packaging across nutrition, health, beauty, and wellness categories. The company reported a notable increase in net sales to $23.5 billion, driven largely by the integration of Berry, with growth also supported by currency impacts and raw material cost pass-throughs. While operating expenses, including SG&A and amortization, increased due to the merger, Amcor achieved improved gross profit margins and profitability. The company continues to focus on its strategic priorities of disciplined organic growth, product innovation, and sustainability, with significant R&D investment. Management remains committed to deleveraging and optimizing its capital structure following the acquisition, while also actively reviewing its portfolio for further value enhancement.

This change is effective for the company's transition fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, and includes interim reviews for the period ending September 30, 2026. The decision to switch auditors was initiated by the Company's Audit Committee and Board of Directors, driven by Amcor's status as a US domestic reporting company and its growing operational presence within the United States. PwC Switzerland, which had served as the auditor since 2019, has resigned and will continue to support residual statutory filings for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026.

Net sales saw a significant increase of 72% to $17.1 billion, largely attributable to the consolidation of Berry's operations. While net income attributable to Amcor plc increased by 30% to $717 million, diluted earnings per share (EPS) decreased by 18% to $1.55. This EPS decline is attributed to a 60% increase in the diluted weighted-average number of shares outstanding due to the acquisition, alongside the increase in net income. The company is actively managing integration costs and restructuring initiatives related to the Berry merger, with an estimated pre-tax net cash cost of $280 million. Amcor is also strategically reviewing its portfolio, identifying businesses with approximately $2.5 billion in sales for potential restructuring or divestiture, and has already completed the sale of ePac.

Amcor plc (AMCR) reported a significant increase in net sales for the three and six months ended December 31, 2025, primarily driven by the acquisition of Berry Global Group, Inc. (the "Merger"). While revenue saw substantial growth due to the consolidation of Berry's operations, net income attributable to Amcor plc experienced a more modest increase, with diluted EPS showing a decline for the quarter. This is largely attributable to increased operating expenses, including higher amortization of acquired intangible assets, increased restructuring, transaction, and integration costs, and higher interest expenses resulting from the Merger. The company is actively managing integration costs and pursuing synergies from the Berry acquisition, with a target of realizing approximately $530 million in pre-tax synergies by the end of fiscal year 2028. Amcor also announced a strategic review of its portfolio, identifying businesses with $2.5 billion in sales for further evaluation, which could lead to divestitures or restructuring.

Effective January 15, 2026, Amcor's ordinary shares began trading on the NYSE under the symbol 'AMCR' on a split-adjusted basis with a new CUSIP number (G0250X 149). Similarly, Amcor's CHESS Depositary Interests (CDIs) commenced trading on the Australian Stock Exchange ('AMC') on a split-adjusted basis.

These notes are senior unsecured obligations of Amcor UK Finance plc, with full and unconditional guarantees from Amcor plc and other subsidiaries, including entities recently acquired or involved in the transaction with Berry Global. The net proceeds of approximately €1.488 billion are earmarked for significant debt reduction. The primary use of these funds will be to repay all or a portion of Berry Global, Inc.'s $1.525 billion 1.570% First Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2026.

Consequently, diluted earnings per share (EPS) saw a decrease compared to the prior year, despite an increase in net income. Amcor is actively managing the integration of Berry and has initiated a "Berry Plan" to realize synergies and achieve cost savings, with substantial pre-tax cash costs estimated. Additionally, the company is exploring strategic alternatives for certain portfolio businesses representing $2.5 billion in sales, which could involve restructuring or divestitures.

Financially, the company reported a 10% increase in net sales to $15.0 billion, largely driven by the inclusion of Berry's operations. However, net income attributable to Amcor plc decreased by 30% to $511 million, primarily due to substantial restructuring, transaction, and integration expenses related to the merger, alongside higher amortization of acquired intangible assets and interest expenses.

Amcor plc (AMCR) reported its third-quarter fiscal year 2025 results, marked by the significant event of completing its merger with Berry Global Group, Inc. on April 30, 2025. For the quarter ending March 31, 2025, Amcor reported a slight decrease in net sales to $3.33 billion from $3.41 billion in the prior year, attributed to currency headwinds and divested operations, though underlying sales showed modest growth. Net income attributable to Amcor plc increased by 5% to $196 million, translating to a diluted EPS of $0.136, up from $0.129 in the prior year, reflecting disciplined cost management and higher other income. The nine-month results show net sales of $9.93 billion, a 2% decrease year-over-year, impacted by similar factors as the quarterly results. However, net income attributable to Amcor plc saw a substantial increase of 16% to $550 million, with diluted EPS rising to $0.380 from $0.327. This improvement was driven by lower operating expenses, higher other income, and reduced interest expenses, partially offset by a slight decrease in gross profit.

Amcor plc (AMCR) reported its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, showing a modest increase in net income attributable to Amcor plc to $191 million, up from $152 million in the prior year, translating to a diluted EPS of $0.132, a 26% increase. This improvement was driven by higher gross profit, lower restructuring expenses, and a favorable shift in "Other income/(expenses), net," partially offset by increased selling, general, and administrative expenses.

The company's liquidity remains strong with $1.9 billion in undrawn credit facilities, and management anticipates continued performance improvement into fiscal year 2025, though acknowledging ongoing economic volatility and geopolitical risks.

Amcor plc (AMCR) reported a decrease in net sales and net income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, compared to the prior year. Net sales declined by 7% to $13.64 billion, primarily due to lower volumes and a less favorable price/mix, exacerbated by customer destocking and softer consumer demand in the first half of the year. Net income attributable to Amcor plc fell by 30% to $730 million, impacted by the non-recurrence of a gain on the sale of its Russian business, higher interest expenses, and adverse impacts from highly inflationary accounting in Argentina. Despite these headwinds, the company saw sequential improvement in volume trajectory in the second half of fiscal year 2024, returning to volume growth in the fourth quarter. Amcor continues to focus on managing costs, optimizing its supply chain, and driving innovation, particularly in sustainable packaging solutions.
