We're seeing strong and consistent validation from our customers, who are very receptive to our expanded offerings and innovation capabilities. We are now seeing the quality of the combined business as the global leader in consumer packaging and dispensing solutions for nutrition, health, beauty and wellness. We are gaining momentum with synergy realization, including commercial synergies, and have solid pipelines which continue to grow. Margins increased in both operating segments. And we are addressing identified non-core assets to enhance focus on our core business. Adjusted EPS of 19.3 cents per share was above the mid-point of our guidance range and up 18% compared with last year. This includes the addition of the Berry business and was supported by disciplined cost performance, improved productivity and delivery of synergies at the upper end of our expected range. We have clear line of sight to delivering at least $260 million of synergy benefits in fiscal 26, and we have confidence in our ability to deliver a year of strong earnings and free cash flow growth. As we look ahead, we are confident in delivering $650 million of identified synergies, and over the three year period ending fiscal 28 we expect synergies alone to drive more than 30% EPS growth. At the same time, we are focused on capturing organic growth opportunities to create an even stronger business that delivers significant long term value for shareholders and is the global packaging partner of choice for customers."

(2) Unless otherwise specified, all results within this document for the three months ended 30 September 2024 reflect the historical results of the Amcor plc group which is considered the accounting acquirer in the combination between Amcor plc and Berry Global, which closed on April 30, 2025. Berry Global acquisition On April 30, 2025, the all-stock acquisition of Berry Global was completed at a fixed exchange ratio of 7.25 Amcor ordinary shares for each Berry share. This transformational acquisition establishes Amcor as the global leader in consumer packaging and dispensing solutions for nutrition, health, beauty and wellness with the unique material science and innovation capabilities to meet customers' and consumers' sustainability aspirations. With multiple new growth opportunities and $650 million of identified pre-tax synergies through fiscal 2028, Amcor believes it is well placed to deliver significant near- and long-term value for customers and shareholders. Segment reporting The Global Flexible Packaging Solutions segment includes Amcor's legacy Flexible Packaging business and the acquired Berry Global Flexibles business. The Global Rigid Packaging Solutions segment includes Amcor's legacy Rigid Packaging business and the acquired Berry Global Consumer Packaging International and Consumer Packaging North America businesses. Integration and synergies Integration of the Berry business is progressing well and resulted in approximately $38 million of synergies in the first quarter, of which approximately $5 million favorably impacted interest expense with the remaining $33 million favorably impacting adjusted EBIT. Integration is proceeding in line with expectations and Amcor's teams are on track to deliver at least $260 million of pre-tax synergy benefits in the 2026 fiscal year, which represents 12% EPS accretion, as a direct result of the acquisition. Amcor believes the company is well placed to achieve the previously announced total pre-tax synergy benefits of $650 million by the end of the 2028 fiscal year. Shareholder returns 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 an increased quarterly cash dividend of 13.0 cents per share (compared with 12.75 cents per share in the same quarter last year). 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 19.78 Australian cents per share, which reflects the quarterly dividend of 13.0 cents per share converted at an AUD:USD average exchange rate of 0.6572 over the five trading days ended November 3, 2025. The ex-dividend date will be November 27, 2025 for holders of CDIs trading on the ASX and November 28, 2025 for holders of shares trading on the NYSE. For all shareholders, the record date will be November 28, 2025 and the payment date will be December 17, 2025. Financial results - Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 Segment information Three Months Ended September 30,2024 Three Months Ended September 30,2025 Adjusted non-GAAP results Net sales $ million EBIT $ million EBIT / Sales % Net sales $ million EBIT $ million EBIT / Sales % Global Flexible Packaging Solutions 2,552 329 12.9 3,257 426 13.1 Global Rigid Packaging Solutions 801 62 7.7 2,488 295 11.9 Other(1) — (26) — (34) Total Amcor 3,353 365 10.9 5,745 687 12.0 (1) Represents corporate expenses Net sales of $5,745 million were 68% 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 70% and an unfavorable impact of approximately 1% from the pass through of lower raw material costs. The remaining year over year variation reflects the impact of volumes and price/mix. Volume performance was broadly similar to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 and approximately 2% lower than estimated combined volumes for the legacy Amcor and legacy Berry businesses in the September quarter last year, excluding non-core North America beverage. The Company estimates that price/mix had no material impact on net sales. Adjusted EBIT of $687 million was 85% higher than last year on a constant currency basis, including approximately $295 million of acquired EBIT net of divestments (represents growth of approximately 81%). The remaining year over year variation mainly reflects synergy benefits from the Berry acquisition of approximately $33 million, disciplined cost performance and improved productivity, partly offset by lower volumes and an unfavorable price/mix impact on earnings. Adjusted EBIT margins of 12.0% were 110 basis points higher than the prior year. Global Flexible Packaging Solutions segment Three Months Ended September 30, Reported ∆% Constant currency ∆% 2024 $ million 2025 $ million Net sales 2,552 3,257 28 25 Adjusted EBIT 329 426 29 28 Adjusted EBIT / Sales % 12.9 13.1 Net sales of $3,257 million were 25% higher than last year on a constant currency basis including approximately $640 million of acquired sales net of divestments, which represents growth of approximately 25% and a favorable impact of approximately 1% from the pass through of higher raw material costs. The remaining year over year variation reflects the impact of volumes and price/mix. The Company estimates that volumes for the Global Flexible Packaging Solutions segment were 2.8% lower compared to volumes for the combined legacy Amcor and Berry businesses in the September quarter last year. In North America, volumes were down low single digit % with growth in categories including healthcare and beauty & wellness more than offset by lower volumes in categories including liquids, snacks and confectionary and unconverted films. Volumes were lower in Europe with growth in categories including healthcare and petcare more than offset by lower volumes in categories including beauty & wellness, confectionary and unconverted films. Volumes across emerging markets were in line with the prior year reflecting growth in Asia Pacific offset by volume declines in Latin America. The Company estimates that price/mix had a favorable impact on net sales driven by better relative volume performance of higher value packaging solutions. Adjusted EBIT of $426 million was 28% higher than last year on a constant currency basis, reflecting approximately $75 million of acquired EBIT, net of divestments (represents growth of approximately 23%). The remaining year over year growth mainly reflects synergy benefits from the Berry acquisition and improved cost performance and productivity, partly offset by lower volumes. Global Rigid Packaging Solutions segment Three Months Ended September 30, Reported ∆% Constant currency ∆% 2024 $ million 2025 $ million Net sales 801 2,488 211 205 Adjusted EBIT 62 295 377 365 Adjusted EBIT / Sales % 7.7 11.9 Net sales of $2,488 million were 205% higher than last year on a constant currency basis, including approximately $1.7 billion of acquired sales net of divestments, which represents growth of approximately 215% and an unfavorable impact of approximately 6% from the pass through of lower raw material costs. The remaining year over year variation reflects the impact of volumes and price/mix. Volume performance was similar to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 and approximately 1% lower than estimated combined volumes for the legacy Amcor and Berry businesses in the September quarter last year, excluding non-core North America beverage. In North America, volumes were in line with the prior year excluding the non-core North America beverage business, with growth in categories including petcare and specialty containers offset by lower volumes in categories including beauty & wellness, food and foodservice. Volumes in Europe were marginally lower than the prior year, with growth in categories including healthcare and liquids more than offset by lower volumes in categories including food and beauty & wellness. Volumes were down low single digit % across emerging markets, primarily in Latin America. The Company estimates that price/mix had an unfavorable impact on net sales. Adjusted EBIT of $295 million was 365% higher than last year on a constant currency basis, including approximately $240 million of acquired EBIT net of divestments (represents growth of approximately 391%). The remaining year over year variation mainly reflects lower volumes (predominantly in the North America beverage business) and an unfavorable price/mix impact, partly offset by synergy benefits from the Berry acquisition and disciplined cost performance. Adjusted EBIT margins of 11.9% were 420 basis points higher than the prior year reflecting the improved quality of the combined business. Net interest and income tax expense For the three months ended September 30, 2025, GAAP net interest expense of $153 million compares with $75 million last year. Adjusted net interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2025 of $140 million was $65 million higher than last year as a result of increased acquisition related net debt. GAAP income tax expense was $49 million compared with $43 million last year. Adjusted tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2025 of $99 million compared with $54 million last year. Adjusted tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2025 represents an effective tax rate of 18.0%, compared with 18.6% in the prior year. Free Cash Flow For the three months ended September 30, 2025, free cash outflow was $343 million, in-line with expectations after funding approximately $115 million of net acquisition related cash costs. Prior to funding of acquisition related cash costs cash flow increased by more than $160 million compared with last year. Net debt was $13,999 million at September 30, 2025. Fiscal 2026 guidance reaffirmed For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026, the Company continues to expect: Adjusted EPS of approximately 80 to 83 cents per share, which represents constant currency growth of 12% to 17% compared with 71.2 cents per share in fiscal 2025. This includes pre-tax synergy benefits related to the Berry Global acquisition of at least $260 million. Free Cash Flow of approximately $1.8 billion to $1.9 billion, which is after deducting approximately $220 million of net cash integration and transaction costs related to the Berry Global acquisition. Other guidance considerations include: Capital expenditure between $850 to $900 million; Net interest expense of approximately $570 to $600 million; and An effective tax rate between 19% and 21%. Amcor's guidance for fiscal 2026 reflects a full 12 months ownership of the Berry Global business and does not take into account the impact of potential portfolio optimization actions which may be completed through the year. Amcor's guidance contemplates a range of factors which create a degree of uncertainty and complexity when estimating future financial results.

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 Chief Executive Officer transition; and impacts related to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. 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. 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 months ended September 30, 2025 compared with estimated combined volumes for the legacy Amcor and Berry Global businesses for the three months ended September 30, 2024. 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 November 27, 2025 to November 28, 2025 inclusive.
