Amcor plc and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 - Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

        Amcor plc ("Amcor" or the "Company") is a global packaging company that employs approximately 50,000 people across approximately 250 sites in more than 40 countries. The Company develops and produces a broad range of packaging products including flexible packaging and rigid packaging containers.

        The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Consistent with these requirements, this Form 10-Q does not include all the information required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. It is management's opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) have been made which are necessary for a fair statement of its financial position, results of operations and cash flows. For further information, this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019.

        The Company reclassified prior year comparative figures in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows to conform to the current year's presentation. In addition, the Company reclassified certain prior year comparative figures from interest expense to net sales to conform to the current year’s presentation.  This change in presentation did not have an impact on the Company’s financial condition or operating results.

Significant Accounting Policies

The Company's significant accounting policies are described in Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019. Below is the Company's accounting policy regarding highly inflationary accounting.

Argentina Highly Inflationary Accounting

        A highly inflationary economy is defined as an economy with a cumulative inflation rate of approximately 100 percent or more over a three-year period. If a country's economy is classified as highly inflationary, the financial statements of the foreign entity operating in that country must be remeasured to the functional currency of the reporting entity. As of March 31, 2020, the Argentine economy was designated as highly inflationary for accounting purposes. Accordingly, beginning July 1, 2018, the Company began reporting the financial results of its subsidiaries with a functional currency of Argentine Peso at the functional currency of the parent, which is the U.S. Dollar. The transition to highly inflationary accounting resulted in an operating loss of $4.9 million and $23.4 million that was reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020 and $10.5 million and $29.5 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019.
 
Note 2 - New Accounting Guidance

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

        In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued guidance that requires the Company to disclose a description of the Company’s accounting policy for releasing income tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income and whether the Company elects to reclassify the stranded income tax effects from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (‘‘The Act’’), along with information about other income tax effects that are reclassified. For all entities, the guidance was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities can choose whether to apply the amendments retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the Act is recognized or to apply the amendments in the period of adoption. This guidance was effective for the Company on July 1, 2019. The Company adopted the new guidance effective July 1, 2019 and did not elect the optional reclassification.

        In August 2017, the FASB issued guidance which simplifies existing guidance in order to allow companies to more accurately present the economic effects of risk management activities in the financial statements. For public business entities, the amendments in Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2017-12 were effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years. This guidance was effective for the Company on July 1, 2019 using the modified respective approach, with the exception of presentation and disclosure guidance
11


which is adopted prospectively. Implementation of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

        In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance that required lessees to put most leases on their balance sheets but recognize expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to past accounting guidance. The guidance also eliminates the previous real estate-specific provisions and changes the guidance on sale-leaseback transactions, initial direct costs and lease executory costs for all entities. Lease classification will determine how to recognize lease-related revenue and expense.  The Company adopted the new lease standard at July 1, 2019 using a simplified transition option that allows for a cumulative-effect adjustment in the period of adoption and therefore did not restate prior periods. The Company also elected to adopt the package of practical expedients which allows for existing operating leases to continue to be classified as operating leases under the new guidance without reassessing whether the contracts contain a lease under the new guidance or whether classification of the operating lease would be different under the new standard. The Company did not elect the use-of-hindsight practical expedient but did adopt the practical expedient pertaining to land easements which provides the option not to reassess whether land easements not previously accounted for as leases under prior leasing guidance would be leases under the new guidance.

        Adoption of the new leasing standard resulted in the following impacts to the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of the adoption date: the establishment of a lease liability of $590.5 million, including current portion, a corresponding right-of-use asset of $569.8 million, and the reclassification of approximately $58.2 million (net of tax) of deferred gains on sale leaseback transactions.

        The complete impact of the changes made to the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet due to the adoption of the new leasing guidance were as follows:

        Due to the adoption of the guidance using the simplified transition option, there are no changes to the Company's previously reported results prior to July 1, 2019. Lease expense is not expected to change materially as a result of adoption of the new guidance. The Company changed its disclosures related to leasing beginning in fiscal year 2020. Refer to Note 10, "Leases".

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

        In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance which requires financial assets, or a group of financial assets measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected when finalized. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that will be deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. This guidance affects loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off-balance-sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The guidance will be effective for the Company on July 1, 2020 and will be adopted using the modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of this new guidance will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

        In December 2019, the FASB issued updated guidance to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions and improving the consistent application of U.S. GAAP in other tax accounting areas. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods, and any interim periods within those annual periods, that begin after December 15, 2020 with early adoption permitted. Accordingly, the guidance will be effective for the Company on July 1, 2021. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2020, the FASB issued optional expedients and exceptions to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform related to contract modifications, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London
12


Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or another reference rate expected to be discontinued, subject to meeting certain criteria. The Company is currently evaluating whether to elect the adoption of this optional guidance.

        The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs issued by the FASB. The Company determined that all other ASUs not yet adopted to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements at this time.

Note 3 - Acquisitions

Bemis Company, Inc.

        On June 11, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding shares of Bemis Company, Inc. ("Bemis"), a global manufacturer of flexible packaging products based in the United States. Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, dated as of August 6, 2018, each outstanding share of Bemis common stock that was issued and outstanding upon completion of the transaction was converted into the right to receive 5.1 ordinary shares of the Company traded on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE").

        The following table summarizes the fair value of consideration exchanged:
Bemis shares outstanding at June 11, 2019 (in millions)91.7  
Share exchange ratio5.1  
Price per share (based on Amcor’s closing share price on June 11, 2019)$11.18  
Total equity consideration ($ in millions)$5,229.6  

        The acquisition of Bemis positions the Company as a global leader in consumer packaging with a comprehensive global footprint in flexible packaging and greater scale in key regions of North America, Latin America, Asia Pacific and Europe, along with industry-leading research and development capabilities.

        The acquisition of Bemis was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805, "Business Combinations," which required allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction. The Company has made measurement period adjustments at March 31, 2020 resulting in a $117.2 million increase to goodwill, which includes a $170.0 million decrease to property, plant and equipment, a $98.8 million decrease to finite lived intangible assets, a $163.7 million decrease to deferred tax liabilities, along with other adjustments to assets held for sale and working capital. The Company estimated the preliminary fair value of acquired assets and liabilities as of the acquisition date based on information currently available and has adjusted those estimates primarily upon further evaluation of property and equipment acquired, and related adjustment to finite lived intangibles acquired and deferred taxes. The allocation of fair value for the assets and liabilities acquired remains preliminary given the number of global locations acquired and may continue to be adjusted up to one year after the acquisition. Accordingly, final determination of the fair values may result in further adjustments to the values presented in the following table.

        The purchase price allocation is preliminary in nature and subject to adjustments, which could be material. Any necessary adjustments will be finalized within one year from the date of acquisition. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price as of March 31, 2020 has resulted in $3,254.9 million of goodwill for the Flexibles segment, which is not tax deductible. The goodwill on acquisition represents the future economic benefit expected to arise from other intangible assets acquired that do not qualify for separate recognition, including assembled workforce and non-contractual relationships, as well as expected future synergies. As the Company finalizes the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, it will determine to which reporting units within the Company's segments any changes in goodwill should be recorded.

        The fair value measurement of tangible and intangible assets and liabilities was based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 measurements within the fair value measurement hierarchy. Level 3 fair market values were determined using a variety of information, including estimated future cash flows, appraisals and market
comparables.

        Closing of the Bemis acquisition was conditional upon the receipt of regulatory approvals, approval by both Amcor and Bemis shareholders, and satisfaction of other customary conditions. In order to satisfy certain regulatory approvals, the Company was required to divest three of Bemis' medical packaging facilities located in the United Kingdom and Ireland ("EC Remedy") and three Amcor medical packaging facilities in the United States ("U.S. Remedy"). The U.S. Remedy was completed during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 and the Company received $214.2 million resulting in a gain of $159.1 million. The EC Remedy was completed during the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and the Company received $397.1 million and recorded a loss on the sale of $8.8 million which is the result of the reclassification of accumulated foreign currency translation amounts from accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings from discontinued operations upon sale of the EC Remedy.

Note 4 - Discontinued Operations

        On February 11, 2019, the Company received approval from the European Commission ("EC") for the acquisition of Bemis. A condition of the approval was an agreement to divest three Bemis medical packaging facilities located in the United Kingdom and Ireland ("EC Remedy"). Upon completion of the Bemis acquisition on June 11, 2019, the Company determined that the EC Remedy met the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation, in accordance with ASC 205-20, "Discontinued Operations." The sale of the EC Remedy closed on August 8, 2019. The Company recorded a loss on the sale of $8.8 million, which is the result of the reclassification of accumulated foreign currency translation amounts from accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings from discontinued operations upon sale of the EC Remedy.

        The following table summarizes the results of the EC Remedy, classified as discontinued operations, from July 1, 2019 until the sale of the EC Remedy on August 8, 2019:

Note 5 - Restructuring Plans

2019 Bemis Integration Plan

        In connection with the acquisition of Bemis, the Company initiated restructuring activities in the fourth quarter of 2019 aimed at integrating and optimizing the combined organization. As previously announced, the Company continues to target realizing approximately $180 million of pre-tax synergies driven by procurement, supply chain, and general and administrative savings by the end of fiscal year 2022.

        The Company's total 2019 Bemis Integration Plan pre-tax integration costs are expected to be approximately $200 million. The total 2019 Bemis Integration Plan costs include $165 million of restructuring and related expenses and $35 million of general integration expenses. The restructuring and related expenses are comprised of approximately $100 million in employee related expenses, $30 million in fixed asset related expenses, $15 million in other restructuring and $20 million in restructuring related expenses. The Company estimates that approximately $150 million of the $200 million total integration costs will result in cash expenditures, of which $115 million relate to restructuring and related expenditures. Cash payments for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 were $69.3 million, of which $38.3 million were payments related to restructuring and related expenditures. Cash payments of approximately $20 million to $30 million are expected for the balance of the fiscal year with $10 million to $20 million representing payments for restructuring and related expenses. The 2019 Bemis Integration Plan relates to the Flexibles segment and Corporate and is expected to be completed by the end of fiscal year 2022.

        Restructuring related costs are directly attributable to restructuring activities; however, they do not qualify for special accounting treatment as exit or disposal activities. General integration costs are not linked to restructuring. The Company believes the disclosure of restructuring related costs provides more information on the total cost of our 2019 Bemis Integration Plan. The restructuring related costs relate primarily to the closure of facilities and include costs to replace graphics, train new employees on relocated equipment and anticipated loss on sale of closed facilities.
        
2018 Rigid Packaging Restructuring Plan

        On August 21, 2018, the Company announced a restructuring plan in Amcor Rigid Packaging ("2018 Rigid Packaging Restructuring Plan") aimed at reducing structural costs and optimizing the footprint. The Plan includes the closures of manufacturing facilities and headcount reductions to achieve manufacturing footprint optimization and productivity improvements as well as overhead cost reductions.

        The Company's total 2018 Rigid Packaging Restructuring Plan pre-tax restructuring costs are expected to be approximately $95 million with the main component being the cost to exit manufacturing facilities and employee related costs. The Company estimates that approximately $65 million of the $95 million total costs will result in cash expenditures. Cash payments for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 were $12.2 million, with approximately $5 million to $10 million expected during the remainder of the fiscal year. The 2018 Rigid Packaging Restructuring Plan is expected to be completed during fiscal 2021.

Other Restructuring Plans

        The Company has entered into other individually immaterial restructuring plans ("Other Restructuring Plans"). The Company's restructuring charge related to these plans was approximately $0.8 million and $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $1.8 million and $16.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Note 8 - Fair Value Measurements

        The fair values of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities listed below reflect the amounts that would be received to sell the assets or paid to transfer the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price).
        The Company’s non-derivative financial instruments primarily include cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, short-term debt and long-term debt. At March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2019, the carrying value of these financial instruments, excluding long-term debt, approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

        The fair value of long-term debt with variable interest rates approximates its carrying value. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt with fixed interest rates is based on market prices, if available, or expected future cash flows discounted at the current interest rate for financial liabilities with similar risk profiles. The carrying values and estimated fair values of long-term debt with fixed interest rates (excluding capital leases) were as follows:

Assets and Liabilities Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

        Additionally, the Company measures and records certain assets and liabilities, including derivative instruments and contingent purchase consideration liabilities, at fair value. The following table summarizes the fair value of these instruments, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, by level, within the fair value hierarchy:

Total liabilities measured at fair value$—  $13.9  $13.6  $27.5  

        The fair value of the commodity contracts was determined using a discounted cash flow analysis based on the terms of the contracts and observed market forward prices discounted at a currency-specific rate. Forward exchange contract fair values were determined based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets using inputs such as currency rates and forward points. The fair value of the interest rate swaps was determined using a discounted cash flow method based on market-based swap yield curves, taking into account current interest rates. The fair value of Treasury locks was determined based on the present value of the discounted future cash flows based on the difference between the agreed upon Treasury rate and the current 10-year U.S. Treasury rate.

        The fair value of the contingent purchase consideration liabilities was determined for each arrangement individually. The fair value was determined using the income approach with significant inputs that are not observable in the market. Key assumptions include the discount rates consistent with the level of risk of achievement and probability adjusted financial projections. The expected outcomes are recorded at net present value, which requires adjustment over the life for changes in risks and probabilities.

        The fair value of contingent purchase consideration liabilities is included in other current liabilities and other non-current liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Assets and Liabilities Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

        In addition to assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company records assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as required by U.S. GAAP. The Company measures certain assets, including the Company’s equity method investments, technology intangible assets, and other intangible assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when they are deemed to be other than temporarily impaired. The fair values of these assets are determined, when applicable, based on valuation techniques using the best information available, and may include quoted market prices, market comparables and discounted cash flow projections.

The Company tests for impairment of its equity method investments when impairment indicators are present. Impairment tests were performed by comparing the carrying value of the Company’s investment in AMVIG Holdings Limited ("AMVIG") at the end of each period, including interim periods, to the fair value of the investment, which was determined based on AMVIG's quoted share price which is classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the Company’s equity method investment in AMVIG at March 31, 2020 was below the Company’s carrying value of the investment by approximately 20%. At June 30, 2019, the fair value of the Company’s investment in AMVIG exceeded the Company’s carrying value. The Company recorded impairment charges during the nine months ended March 31, 2019 of $13.9 million, as the fair value of the investment was below its carrying value.

Based on the Company’s evaluation of AMVIG’s current financial condition and the Company’s intent and ability to hold its investment in AMVIG to recover the carrying value, the Company concluded that the decline in fair value is temporary at March 31, 2020, and therefore no impairment was recorded. Continued market uncertainty due to the COVID-19 outbreak could result in the conclusion that a non-cash impairment of the Company’s investment in AMVIG is warranted in future periods.

20


Similar to the manner in which it tests other intangible assets, the Company tests technology intangibles for impairment when facts and circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable from their undiscounted cash flows. During the nine months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, there were no triggering events and therefore no technology intangible impairment charges recorded.

Note 9 - Derivative Instruments

        Amcor periodically uses derivatives and other financial instruments to hedge exposures to interest rate, commodity and currency risks. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. For hedges that meet the hedge accounting criteria, the Company, at inception, formally designates and documents the instrument as a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge of a specific underlying exposure. On an ongoing basis, the Company assesses and documents that its hedges have been and are expected to continue to be highly effective.

Interest Rate Risk

        The Company’s policy is to manage exposure to interest rate risk by maintaining a mixture of fixed-rate and variable-rate debt, monitoring global interest rates and, where appropriate, hedging floating interest rate exposure or debt at fixed interest rates through various interest rate derivative instruments, including, but not limited to, interest rate swaps, cross-currency interest rate swaps, and interest rate locks. For interest rate swaps that are accounted for as fair value hedges, changes in the fair value of both the hedging instruments and the underlying debt obligations are immediately recognized in interest expense. Changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps that have not been designated as hedging instruments are reported in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income under other non-operating income (loss), net.

        At March 31, 2020, the Company had a notional amount of $100.0 million cross-currency interest rate swaps outstanding. The Company did not designate it as a hedging instrument and thus changes in fair value were immediately recognized in earnings.

        As of March 31, 2020, and June 30, 2019, the total notional amount of the Company’s receive-fixed/pay-variable interest rate swaps accounted for as fair value hedges was $831.3 million and $841.1 million, respectively.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company entered into six Treasury lock agreements to protect against unfavorable interest rate changes relating to the highly probable issuance of long-term debt. The total notional amount of the Treasury lock was $250.0 million as of March 31, 2020. The Company designated these Treasury lock agreements as cash flow hedges of an anticipated transaction and deemed these agreements to be highly effective.

Foreign Currency Risk

        The Company manufactures and sells its products and finances operations in a number of countries throughout the world and, as a result, is exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. The purpose of the Company’s foreign currency hedging program is to manage the volatility associated with the changes in exchange rates.

        To manage this exchange rate risk, the Company utilizes forward contracts. Contracts that qualify for hedge accounting are designated as cash flow hedges of certain forecasted transactions denominated in foreign currencies. The effective portion of the changes in fair value of these instruments is reported in AOCI and reclassified into earnings in the same financial statement line item and in the same period or periods during which the related hedged transactions affect earnings. The ineffective portion is immediately recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income. Changes in the fair value of forward contracts that have not been designated as hedging instruments are reported in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income.

        As of March 31, 2020, and June 30, 2019, the notional amount of the outstanding forward contracts was $1.2 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively.

        The Company manages its currency exposure related to the net assets of its foreign operations primarily through borrowings denominated in the relevant currency. Foreign currency gains and losses from the remeasurement of external borrowings designated as net investment hedges of a foreign operation are recognized in AOCI, to the extent that the hedge is effective. The ineffective portion is immediately recognized in other non-operating income (loss), net in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income. When a hedged net investment is disposed of, a percentage of the cumulative amount recognized in AOCI in relation to the hedged net investment is recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income as part of the profit or loss on disposal.
21



Commodity Risk

        Certain raw materials used in the Company's production processes are subject to price volatility caused by weather, supply conditions, political and economic variables and other unpredictable factors. The Company's policy is to minimize exposure to price volatility by passing through the commodity price risk to customers, including the use of fixed price swaps. The Company purchases on behalf of customers fixed price commodity swaps to offset the exposure of price volatility on the underlying sales contracts, these instruments are cash closed out on maturity and the related cost or benefit is passed through to customers. Information about commodity price exposure is derived from supply forecasts submitted by customers and these exposures are hedged by a central treasury unit. Changes in the fair value of commodity hedges are recognized in AOCI. The cumulative amount of the hedge is recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income when the forecast transaction is realized.

        At March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2019, the Company had the following outstanding commodity contracts that were entered into to hedge forecasted purchases:

Note 10 - Leases

        The Company has operating leases for certain manufacturing sites, office space, warehouses, land, vehicles and equipment. Most leases include the option to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to five years or more. Right-of-use lease assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of the remaining lease payments over the lease term, which includes renewal periods the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. Short term leases with a term of twelve months or less, including reasonably certain holding periods, are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company's leases do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. At March 31, 2020, the Company does not have material lease commitments that have not commenced.

        The components of lease expense were as follows:

        Service cost is included in operating income. All other components of net periodic benefit cost other than service cost are recorded within other non-operating income (loss), net.

Note 12 - Income Taxes

        The Company computes its provision for income taxes by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to year to date income before income taxes and equity in income of affiliated companies and adjusts for discrete tax items recorded in the period.

The provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 is based on our projected annual effective tax rate for the respective fiscal years, adjusted for specific items that are required to be recognized in the period in which they are incurred.

        Income tax expense for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020 is $56.1 million and $123.0 million, respectively, compared to $28.0 million and $80.8 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019, respectively.

        The effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 increased by 3.4 percentage points compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2019, from 18.5% to 21.9%. The increase in income tax provision and the increase in the effective tax rate was primarily related to non-deductible restructuring and transaction costs and the increase of operating income earned in higher tax jurisdictions as a result of the Bemis acquisition.

Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act")

On March 27, 2020, the U.S. CARES Act was enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act includes financial measures to assist companies, including temporary changes to income and non-income-based tax laws. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the CARES Act, but does not believe it will have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 14 - Segments

        The Company's business is organized and presented in the two reportable segments outlined below:

Flexibles: Consists of operations that manufacture flexible and film packaging in the food and beverage, medical and pharmaceutical, fresh produce, snack food, personal care, and other industries.

Rigid Packaging: Consists of operations that manufacture rigid containers for a broad range of predominantly beverage and food products, including carbonated soft drinks, water, juices, sports drinks, milk-based beverages, spirits and beer, sauces, dressings, spreads and personal care items and plastic caps for a wide variety of applications.

        Other consists of the Company's equity method investments, including AMVIG, undistributed corporate expenses, intercompany eliminations and other business activities.

        Operating segments are organized along the Company's product lines and geographical areas. In conjunction with the acquisition of Bemis, the Company reassessed its segment reporting structure in the first fiscal quarter of 2020 and elected to disaggregate the Flexibles Americas operating segment into Flexibles North America and Flexibles Latin America. The five Flexibles operating segments (Flexibles Europe, Middle East and Africa; Flexibles North America, Flexibles Latin America; Flexibles Asia Pacific and Specialty Cartons) have been aggregated in the Flexibles reporting segment as they exhibit similarity in long-term forecasted economic characteristics, similarity in the products they offer, their production technologies, the customers they serve, the nature of their service delivery models, and their regulatory environments.

        In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019, in connection with the acquisition of Bemis, the Company changed its measure of segment performance from adjusted operating income to adjusted earnings before interest and tax ("EBIT") from continuing operations. The Company's chief operating decision maker, the Global Management Team ("GMT"), evaluates performance and allocates resources based on adjusted EBIT from continuing operations. The Company defines adjusted EBIT as operating income adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that the Company does not consider indicative of its ongoing operating performance and to include equity in income (loss) of affiliated companies. The GMT consists of the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer and his direct reports and provides strategic direction and management oversight of the day to day activities of the Company.

        The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those in the consolidated financial statements. The Company also has investments in operations in AMVIG that are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and, accordingly, those results are not included in segment net sales.

Note 15 - Earnings Per Share Computations

        The Company applies the two-class method when computing its earnings per share ("EPS"), which requires that net income per share for each class of share be calculated assuming all of the Company's net income is distributed as dividends to each class of share based on their contractual rights.

        Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income available to ordinary shareholders by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding after excluding the ordinary shares to be repurchased using forward contracts. Diluted EPS includes the effects of share options, restricted shares, performance rights, performance shares and share rights, if dilutive.

        Certain outstanding share options were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation because they were anti-dilutive. The excluded share options for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020 represented an aggregate of 53.6 million and 31.4 million shares, respectively. The excluded share options for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019 represented an aggregate of 7.2 million and 7.4 million shares, respectively.

Note 16 - Contingencies and Legal Proceedings

Contingencies

        The Company's operations in Brazil are involved in various governmental assessments, principally related to claims for excise and income taxes. The Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will materially impact the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Under customary local regulations, the Company's Brazilian subsidiaries may need to post cash or other collateral if a challenge to any administrative assessment proceeds to the Brazilian court system; however, the level of cash or collateral already pledged or potentially required to be pledged would not significantly impact the liquidity of Amcor. At March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2019, the Company has recorded an accrual of $12.5 million and $16.4 million, respectively, included in other non-current liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet and has estimated a reasonably possible loss exposure in excess of the accrual of $19.1 million and $23.7 million, respectively. The change in the reasonably possible loss exposure is due to strengthening of the U.S. Dollar compared to the Brazilian Real. The litigation process is subject to many uncertainties and the outcome of individual matters cannot be accurately predicted. The Company's assessments are based on its knowledge and experience, but the ultimate outcome of any of these matters may differ from the Company's estimates.

        As of March 31, 2020, Amcor provided letters of credit of $35.7 million, judicial insurance of $0.9 million, and deposited cash of $10.6 million with the courts to continue to defend the cases.

Legal Proceedings

        On April 18, 2019, prior to the closure of the Amcor and Bemis transaction, litigation funding firm, Burford Capital, notified Bemis on behalf of two shareholder funds (BCIM Strategic Value Master Fund LP and BCIM SV SMA I LLC) that the funds would not accept the fixed exchange ratio for Amcor shares and instead intended to file a case asking a Missouri state court to appraise the value of their Bemis shares and compensate them accordingly. On June 24, 2019, the Burford funds sent a formal written demand for payment of the fair value of the funds’ shares. On September 6, 2019, the Burford funds filed a Petition for Appraisal of Stock in the Missouri court. On November 4, 2019, Bemis filed an Answer to the Petition for Appraisal of Stock. The matter has entered into the discovery stage. As the Company is in the early stages of this proceeding, it is difficult to predict the potential outcome.

        Two lawsuits were brought by purported holders of Bemis stock against Bemis and Bemis directors and officers are pending in federal court in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, in which plaintiffs are seeking damages for alleged violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations. Plaintiffs allege a failure to disclose adequately information in the proxy statement issued in connection with the Amcor-Bemis merger. The cases are: Dixon, et al. v. Bemis Company, Inc. et al. and Stein v. Bemis Company, Inc. et al., which were instituted on April 15, 2019 and April 17, 2019, respectively. On March 10, 2020 the federal court in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York consolidated the two pending cases into a single class action.

        In addition, a purported holder of Bemis stock filed a putative derivative suit in the Cole County Circuit Court, Nineteenth Judicial District of Missouri, against Bemis directors and Amcor, alleging that the directors breached fiduciary duties in connection with the Amcor-Bemis merger and that Amcor aided and abetted breaches of fiduciary duty. The case is Scarantino, et al. v. Amcor Limited, et al., which was instituted on April 19, 2019.

        Amcor intends to defend the claims made in the pending actions. It is too early for Amcor to provide any reliable assessment of the likely quantum of any damages that may become payable if its defense is unsuccessful in whole or in part. Although it is not possible at present to establish a reliable assessment of damages, there can be no assurance that any damages that may be awarded will not be material to the results of operations or financial condition of Amcor.

Note 17 - Subsequent Events

        On May 11, 2020, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.115 per share to be paid on June 17, 2020 to shareholders of record as of May 28, 2020. Amcor has received a waiver from the Australian Securities Exchange ("ASX") settlement operating rules, which will allow Amcor to defer processing conversions between its ordinary share and CHESS Depositary Instrument ("CDI") registers from May 27, 2020 to May 28, 2020, inclusive.

Overview

        Amcor is a global packaging company with total sales of approximately $9.5 billion in fiscal year 2019. We employ approximately 50,000 people across approximately 250 sites in more than 40 countries, and are a leader in developing and producing a broad range of packaging products including flexible and rigid packaging, specialty cartons and closures. In fiscal year 2019, the majority of sales were made to the defensive food, beverage, pharmaceutical, medical device, home and personal care, and other consumer goods end markets.

Significant Items Affecting the Periods Presented

Impact of COVID-19

The 2019 Novel Coronavirus ("COVID-19") has introduced a period of unprecedented uncertainty and challenge. Amcor’s business is almost entirely exposed to defensive end markets which have demonstrated the same resilience experienced through past economic cycles. Our scale and global footprint has enabled us to collaborate with customers and suppliers to meet volatile changes in demand and continue to service our customers. We believe we are well-positioned to meet the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, we cannot reasonably estimate the duration and severity of this pandemic or its ultimate impact on the global economy and our operations and financial results. The ultimate near-term impact of the pandemic on our business, including on our fiscal fourth quarter, will depend on the extent and nature of any future disruptions across the supply chain, the duration of social distancing measures and other government imposed restrictions and the nature and pace of macroeconomic recovery in key global economies.

Health and Safety

Amcor’s commitment to the health and safety of its employees remains our first priority. Our rigorous precautionary measures include the formation of global and regional response teams that maintain contact with authorities and experts to actively manage the situation, restrictions on company travel, quarantine protocols for employees who may have had exposure or have symptoms, frequent disinfecting of Amcor locations and other measures designed to help protect employees, customers and suppliers. We expect to continue these measures until the COVID-19 pandemic is adequately contained for our business.

Operations and Supply Chain

We have experienced minimal disruptions to our operations to date as we have largely been deemed as providing essential services. However, we have experienced volatility in customer order patterns in the third fiscal quarter and could continue to experience significant volatility in the demand for our products in the future. For instance, in April, our Rigid Packaging Segment sales volumes in North America and Latin America have been adversely impacted as a result of a decrease in foot traffic in the convenience and on the go channels. Our facilities have largely been exempt from government mandated closure orders. While governmental measures may be modified, we expect that our operations will remain operational given the essential products we supply. However, despite our best efforts to contain the impact in our facilities, it remains possible that significant disruptions could occur as a result of the pandemic, including temporary closures of our facilities.

We have not experienced any significant disruptions in our supply chain to date and continue to monitor the risk of customer, raw material and other supply chain disruptions.

The Acquisition of Bemis Company, Inc.

        On June 11, 2019, we completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding shares of Bemis Company, Inc. ("Bemis"), a global manufacturer of flexible packaging products based in the United States, for the purchase price of $5.2 billion in an all-stock transaction. In connection with the Bemis transaction, we assumed $1.4 billion of debt.

2019 Bemis Integration Plan

        In connection with the acquisition of Bemis, the Company initiated restructuring activities in the fourth quarter of 2019 aimed at integrating and optimizing the combined organization. As previously announced, the Company continues to target realizing approximately $180 million of pre-tax synergies driven by procurement, supply chain, and general and administrative savings by the end of fiscal year 2022.

        The Company's total 2019 Bemis Integration Plan pre-tax integration costs are expected to be approximately $200 million. The total 2019 Bemis Integration Plan costs include $165 million of restructuring and related expenses and $35 million of general integration expenses. The restructuring and related expenses are comprised of approximately $100 million in employee related expenses, $30 million in fixed asset related expenses, $15 million in other restructuring and $20 million in restructuring related expenses. The Company estimates that approximately $150 million of the $200 million total integration
36


costs will result in cash expenditures, of which $115 million relate to restructuring and related expenditures. Cash payments for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 were $69.3 million, of which $38.3 million were payments related to restructuring and related expenditures. Cash payments of approximately $20 million to $30 million are expected for the balance of the fiscal year with $10 million to $20 million representing payments for restructuring and related expenses. The 2019 Bemis Integration Plan relates to the Flexibles segment and Corporate and is expected to be completed by the end of fiscal year 2022.

        Restructuring related costs are directly attributable to restructuring activities; however, they do not qualify for special accounting treatment as exit or disposal activities. General integration costs are not linked to restructuring. The Company believes the disclosure of restructuring related costs provides more information on the total cost of our 2019 Bemis Integration Plan. The restructuring related costs relate primarily to the closure of facilities and include costs to replace graphics, train new employees on relocated equipment and anticipated loss on sale of closed facilities.
        
2018 Rigid Packaging Restructuring Plan

        On August 21, 2018, the Company announced a restructuring plan in Amcor Rigid Packaging ("2018 Rigid Packaging Restructuring Plan") aimed at reducing structural costs and optimizing the footprint. The Plan includes the closures of manufacturing facilities and headcount reductions to achieve manufacturing footprint optimization and productivity improvements as well as overhead cost reductions.

        The Company's total 2018 Rigid Packaging Restructuring Plan pre-tax restructuring costs are expected to be approximately $95 million with the main component being the cost to exit manufacturing facilities and employee related costs. The Company estimates that approximately $65 million of the $95 million total costs will result in cash expenditures. Cash payments for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 were $12.2 million, with approximately $5 million to $10 million expected during the remainder of the fiscal year. The 2018 Rigid Packaging Restructuring Plan is expected to be completed during fiscal 2021.

        For more information about our restructuring plans, refer to Note 5, "Restructuring Plans" of "Item 1. Financial Statements - Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements".

High Inflation Accounting

        We have subsidiaries in Argentina that historically had a functional currency of the Argentine Peso. As of June 30, 2018, the Argentine economy was designated as highly inflationary for accounting purposes. Accordingly, beginning July 1, 2018, we began reporting the financial results of our Argentinean subsidiaries with a functional currency of the Argentine Peso at the functional currency of the parent, which is the U.S. dollar. Highly inflationary accounting in the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 resulted in a negative impact of $4.9 million and $10.5 million, respectively, and $23.4 million and $29.5 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, in foreign currency transaction losses that was reflected on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income.

The provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 is based on our projected annual effective tax rate for the respective fiscal years, adjusted for specific items that are required to be recognized in the period in which they are incurred.

        Income tax expense for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020 is $56.1 million and $123.0 million, respectively, compared to $28.0 million and $80.8 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019, respectively.

        The effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 increased by 3.4 percentage points compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2019, from 18.5% to 21.9%. The increase in income tax provision and the increase in the effective tax rate was primarily related to non-deductible restructuring and transaction costs and the increase of operating income earned in higher tax jurisdictions as a result of the Bemis acquisition.

Presentation of Non-GAAP Information

        This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q refers to non-GAAP financial measures: adjusted earnings before interest and taxes ("EBIT") from continuing operations, adjusted net income from continuing operations, and net debt. These non-GAAP financial measures adjust for factors that are unusual or unpredictable. These measures exclude the impact of significant tax reform, certain amounts related to the effect of changes in currency exchange rates, acquisitions, and restructuring, including employee-related costs, equipment relocation costs, accelerated depreciation and the write-down of equipment. These measures also exclude gains or losses on sales of significant property and divestitures, certain litigation matters, and certain acquisition-related expenses, including transaction expenses, due diligence expenses, professional and legal fees, purchase accounting adjustments for inventory, order backlog, intangible amortization, and changes in the fair value of deferred acquisition payments. This adjusted information should not be construed as an alternative to results determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). Management of the Company uses the non-GAAP measures to evaluate operating performance and believes that these non-GAAP measures are useful to enable investors and other external parties to perform comparisons of current and historical performance of the Company.

        A reconciliation of reported net income attributable to Amcor plc to adjusted EBIT from continuing operations and adjusted net income from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 is as follows:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        We finance our business primarily through cash flows provided by operating activities, borrowings from banks and proceeds from issuances of debt and equity. We periodically review our capital structure and liquidity position in light of market conditions, expected future cash flows, potential funding requirements for debt refinancing, capital expenditures and acquisitions, the cost of capital, sensitivity analyses reflecting downside scenarios, the impact on our financial metrics and credit ratings, and our ease of access to funding sources. In the third fiscal quarter of 2020, we entered into six Treasury lock agreements to protect against potentially unfavorable interest rate changes relating to the highly probable issuance of long-term debt associated with the planned re-financing of certain existing debt obligations. Disruption in capital markets as a result of the recent COVID-19 pandemic may lead to higher refinancing costs. Heightened market volatility at the time of issuance may cause us to not be able to obtain such financing on terms acceptable to us.

During March, our access to commercial paper in Europe and the U.S. was restricted, and, at times, unavailable. We refinanced these maturities with drawings under our committed bank facilities. As a precautionary measure to maximize liquidity, in March 2020, we also extended our 364-day syndicated facility by an additional six months to October 2020 while reducing the facility size from $1,050 million to $840 million.

Based on our current and expected cash flow from operating activities and available cash, we believe our cash flows provided by operating activities, together with borrowings available under our credit facilities, will continue to provide sufficient liquidity to fund our operations, capital expenditures and other commitments, including dividends, into the foreseeable future.

Cash Flow Overview

        Cash Flow from Operating Activities

        Net cash inflows provided by operating activities increased by $348.9 million, or 287.4%, to $470.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2020, from $121.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2019. This increase was primarily due to impacts from the Bemis acquisition.

        Cash Flow from Investing Activities

        Net cash inflows provided by investing activities increased by $300.2 million, or 163.3%, to $116.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2020, from a $183.8 million outflow for the nine months ended March 31, 2019. This increase was primarily due to disposal proceeds from the EC Remedy related to the Bemis acquisition.

        Cash Flow from Financing Activities

        Net cash flows used in financing activities decreased by $592.3 million to $589.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2020, from a $2.4 million inflow for the nine months ended March 31, 2019. This decrease was primarily due to the share buy-back program and the increase in dividends paid, partially offset by an increase in commercial paper borrowings.

Net Debt

        We borrow money from financial institutions and debt investors in the form of bank overdrafts, bank loans, corporate bonds, unsecured notes and commercial paper. We have a mixture of fixed and floating interest rates and use interest rate swaps to provide further flexibility in managing the interest cost of borrowings.

49


        Short-term debt consists of bank debt with a duration of less than 12 months and bank overdrafts which are classified as current due to the short-term nature of the borrowings, except where we have the ability and intent to refinance and as such extend the debt beyond 12 months. The current portion of the long-term debt, except where we have the ability and intent to refinance, consists of debt amounts repayable within a year after the balance sheet date.

        Our primary bank debt facilities and notes are unsecured and subject to negative pledge arrangements limiting the amount of secured indebtedness we can incur to a range between 7.5% to 15.0% of our total tangible assets, subject to some exceptions and variations by facility. In addition, the bank debt facilities and U.S. private placement debt require us to comply with certain financial covenants, including leverage and interest coverage ratios. The negative pledge arrangements and the financial covenants are defined in the related debt agreements. As of March 31, 2020, we were in compliance with all applicable covenants under our bank debt facilities and U.S. private placement debt.

        Our net debt as of March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2019 was $6.0 billion and $5.5 billion, respectively.

Available Financing

        As of March 31, 2020, we had undrawn credit facilities available in the amount of $1.4 billion. Our senior facilities are available to fund working capital, growth capital expenditures and refinancing obligations and are provided to us by five separate bank syndicates. On September 25, 2019 and December 15, 2019, we canceled $250.0 million and $100.0 million, respectively, of the $750.0 million term loan facility.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, we extended the maturity of a 364-day syndicated facility by an additional six months to October 2020 and reduced the facility size from $1,050.0 million to $840.0 million.

As of March 31, 2020, the revolving senior bank debt facilities had an aggregate limit of $5.0 billion, of which $3.6 billion had been drawn (inclusive of amounts drawn under commercial paper programs reducing the overall balance of available senior facilities). Our senior facilities mature between fiscal years 2020 and 2024.

Dividend Payments

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we declared and paid a $0.115 cash dividend per ordinary share.

Credit Rating

        Our capital structure and financial practices have earned us investment grade credit ratings from two internationally recognized credit rating agencies. These credit ratings are important to our ability to issue debt at favorable rates of interest, for various tenors and from a diverse range of markets that are highly liquid, including European and U.S. debt capital markets and from global financial institutions.

Share Repurchases

        On August 21, 2019, our Board of Directors approved an on-market buy-back of $500 million of ordinary shares and Chess Depositary Instruments ("CDIs"). During the nine months ended March 31, 2020, the Company repurchased approximately $478.2 million, including transaction costs, or 51.5 million shares. The shares repurchased as part of the program were canceled upon repurchase.

        We had cash outflows of $11.3 million and $32.2 million for the purchase of our shares in the open market during the nine months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, as treasury shares to satisfy the vesting and exercises of share-based compensation awards. As of March 31, 2020, and June 30, 2019, we held treasury shares at cost of $11.4 million and $16.1 million, representing 1.1 million and 1.4 million shares, respectively.

New Accounting Pronouncements

        Refer to Note 2, "New Accounting Guidance," in "Item 1. Financial Statements - Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements."


50


Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments

        Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to pension costs, intangible assets and goodwill, deferred taxes, and equity accounted investments. Our estimates and judgments are based on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.  These critical accounting estimates are discussed in detail in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2019.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

        There have been no material changes in our market risk during the three-month period ended March 31, 2020.  For additional information, refer to Note 8, "Fair Value Measurements," and Note 9, "Derivative Instruments," to the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and to "Item 7A. - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2019.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

a)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

        As previously disclosed under “Item 9A. - Controls and Procedures” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 filed with the SEC on September 3, 2019, we identified two material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting during the conversion of our historical AAS financial statements to U.S. GAAP. The first material weakness was related to our lack of accounting staff and supervisory personnel with the appropriate level of experience in technical accounting in U.S. GAAP and disclosure and filing requirements of a U.S. domestic registrant. We also identified a second material weakness arising from deficiencies in the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls over the period end reporting process. Specifically, we did not design and maintain effective controls to verify that conflicting duties were appropriately segregated within key IT systems used in the preparation and reporting of financial information.

        Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2020. The term "disclosure controls and procedures," as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including its principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

        As a result of the existing material weaknesses noted above, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2020.

Management’s Remediation Initiatives

        With respect to the first material weakness related to a lack of experience in technical accounting in U.S. GAAP and the filing requirements of a U.S. domestic registrant, we have taken numerous steps to address the underlying causes and to remediate the material weakness. We have hired additional financial reporting personnel with U.S. GAAP technical accounting and financial reporting experience, as well as U.S. domestic registrant filing experience, aligned our accounting policies and procedures with U.S. GAAP, enhanced our internal review procedures during the financial close process with U.S. GAAP experienced staff, and have conducted technical training for accounting and finance personnel. The material weakness will not
51


be considered remediated until sufficient time has passed to enable us to conclude the remediation efforts are effective, which we expect will be completed prior to the end of fiscal 2020.

        With respect to the second material weakness related to deficiencies in the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls over the period end reporting process, we are currently in the process of remediating this material weakness through a process to (i) develop and implement additional controls and procedures to reduce the number of segregation of duties conflicts within key IT systems and (ii) design and implement additional compensating controls where necessary. Given we operate many ERP systems globally, this effort is currently targeting the largest locations with standardized systems. These enhanced processes, including the implementation of new mitigating controls, will effectively remediate the material weakness, but the material weakness will not be considered remediated until the revised controls operate for a sufficient period of time and we have concluded, through testing, they are designed and operating effectively.

b)Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

        Except as described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the third fiscal quarter of 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Our business and operations may be adversely affected by the recent 2019 Novel Coronavirus ("COVID-19") outbreak or other similar outbreaks.

Our business and financial results may be negatively impacted by outbreaks of contagious diseases, including the recent outbreak of the coronavirus that was first detected in Wuhan, China in December 2019. As a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, governmental authorities have implemented and are continuing to implement numerous and constantly evolving measures to try to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, limitations on gatherings, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders and business shutdowns. Measures providing for business shutdowns generally exclude essential services and the critical infrastructure supporting the essential services. We have experienced minimal disruptions to our operations to date as we have largely been deemed as providing essential services. However, we have experienced volatility in customer order patterns in the third fiscal quarter and could continue to experience significant volatility in the demand for our products in the future.

The outbreak could result in the temporary closure of our facilities, the facilities of our suppliers, or other vendors in our supply chain. In limited cases to date, certain customers have shut down their operations temporarily to deal with the outbreak within their facilities, which has impacted their demand, and we may continue to experience the volatility in demand from temporary customer shutdowns. In addition, the coronavirus has significantly impacted and may further impact the economies and financial markets of affected countries, including negatively impacting economic growth, the proper functioning of capital markets, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The coronavirus may result in a prolonged economic downturn that could negatively affect demand for our customers’ products. Despite our efforts to manage these impacts, the extent to which the coronavirus or other outbreaks impact our business and operations, including our ability to secure financing at attractive rates, is unknown and the effect could be material.

The impact of COVID-19 may also exacerbate other risks discussed in "Item 1A. - Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, any of which could have a material effect on the Company.
