Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Unless otherwise indicated, references to "Amcor," the "Company," "we," "our," and "us" in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q refer to Amcor plc and its consolidated subsidiaries.
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain statements that are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are generally identified with words like "believe," "expect," "target," "project," "may," "could," "would," "approximately," "possible," "will," "should," "intend," "plan," "anticipate," "commit," "estimate," "potential," "ambitions," "outlook," or "continue," the negative of these words, other terms of similar meaning, or the use of future dates. Such statements are based on the current expectations of the management of Amcor and are qualified by the inherent risks and uncertainties surrounding future expectations generally. Actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of risks and uncertainties. Neither Amcor nor any of its respective directors, executive officers, or advisors, provide any representation, assurance, or guarantee that the occurrence of the events expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements will actually occur. Risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from expectations include, but are not limited to:
•Changes in consumer demand patterns and customer requirements in numerous industries;
•the loss of key customers, a reduction in their production requirements, or consolidation among key customers;
•significant competition in the industries and regions in which we operate;
•an inability to expand our current business effectively through either organic growth, including product innovation, investments, or acquisitions;
•challenging current and future global economic conditions, including the Russia-Ukraine conflict and inflation;
•impacts of operating internationally;
•price fluctuations or shortages in the availability of raw materials, energy and other inputs, which could adversely affect our business;
•production, supply, and other commercial risks, including counterparty credit risks, which may be exacerbated in times of economic volatility;
•pandemics, epidemics, or other disease outbreaks;
•an inability to attract and retain our global executive management team and our skilled workforce or successfully manage the transition of key roles, including our Chief Executive Officer;

•risks related to climate change;
•cybersecurity risks, which could disrupt our operations or risk of loss of our sensitive business information;
•failures or disruptions in our information technology systems which could disrupt our operations, compromise customer, employee, supplier, and other data;
•rising interest rates that increase our borrowing costs on our variable rate indebtedness and could have other negative impacts;
•a significant increase in our indebtedness or a downgrade in our credit rating could reduce our operating flexibility and increase our borrowing costs and negatively affect our financial condition and results of operations;
•foreign exchange rate risk;
•a significant write-down of goodwill and/or other intangible assets;
•a failure to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting;
•an inability of our insurance policies, including our use of a captive insurance company, to provide adequate protection against all of the risks we face;
•an inability to defend our intellectual property rights or intellectual property infringement claims against us;
•litigation, including product liability claims, or regulatory developments;
•increasing scrutiny and changing expectations from investors, customers, and governments with respect to our Environmental, Social, and Governance ("ESG") practices and commitments resulting in additional costs or exposure to additional risks;
•changing government regulations in environmental, health, and safety matters, including climate change; and
•changes in tax laws or changes in our geographic mix of earnings.

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 public limited company incorporated under the Laws of the Bailiwick of Jersey. The Company's history dates back more than 150 years, with origins in both Australia and the United States of America. Today, Amcor is a global leader in developing and producing responsible packaging for food, beverage, pharmaceutical, medical, home and personal-care, and other consumer goods end markets. The Company's innovation excellence and global packaging expertise enable the Company to solve packaging challenges around the world every day, producing packaging that is more functional, appealing, and cost effective for its customers and their consumers and importantly, more sustainable for the environment.
The accompanying unaudited condensed 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. Further, the year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of June 30, 2023 was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. It is management's opinion, however, that all material and recurring adjustments have been made that are necessary for a fair statement of the Company's interim financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. This Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023.
There have been no material changes to the accounting policies followed by the Company during the current fiscal year. Certain amounts in the Company's notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements may not add or recalculate due to rounding.
Note 2 - New Accounting Guidance
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2022-04 that adds certain disclosure requirements for entities that use supplier finance programs in connection with the purchase of goods and services. The Company adopted the disclosure requirements in ASU 2022-04 on July 1, 2023, except for the amendment on roll forward information, which is effective in fiscal year 2025.
The Company facilitates several regional voluntary supply chain financing ("SCF") programs with financial institutions, all of which have similar characteristics. The Company establishes these SCF programs to provide its suppliers with a potential source of liquidity and to enable a more efficient payment process. Under these SCF programs, qualifying suppliers may elect, but are not obligated, to sell their receivables due from Amcor to these financial institutions in advance of the agreed payment due date. The Company is not involved in negotiations between the suppliers and the financial institutions, and its rights and obligations to its suppliers are not impacted by its suppliers’ decisions to sell amounts to the financial institutions. Under these SCF programs, the Company agrees to pay the financial institution the stated invoice amounts from its participating suppliers on the original maturity dates of the invoices. The range of payment terms negotiated with suppliers under these arrangements are consistent with industry norms and short-term in nature, regardless of whether a supplier participates in the program. The Company's SCF programs do not include any guarantees to the financial institutions, or any assets pledged as securities.
All outstanding amounts related to suppliers participating in the SCF programs are reflected in trade payables in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, and associated payments are included in operating activities within the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. As of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, the amounts due to suppliers participating in the Company’s SCF programs amounted to $0.9 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively.
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 that adds new reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The standard's amendments are effective for the Company for annual periods beginning July 1, 2024, and interim periods beginning July 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted, and will be applied retrospectively to all periods in the financial statements. The Company will adopt this guidance in fiscal year 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on its disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 that adds new income tax disclosure requirements, primarily related to existing income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The standard's amendments are effective for the Company for annual periods beginning July 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted, and can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on its disclosures.
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs issued by the FASB. The Company determined at this time that all other ASUs not yet adopted are either not applicable or are not expected to have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position, and disclosures.
Note 3 - Restructuring and Other Related Activities, Net

Note 4 - Acquisitions and Disposals
Fiscal Year 2024 - Acquisition
On September 27, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of a small manufacturer of flexible packaging for food, home care, and personal care applications in India for a purchase consideration of $14 million plus the assumption of debt of $10 million. The acquisition is part of the Company's Flexibles reportable segment and the Company aims to complete the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable but no later than one year from the date of the acquisition.
Fiscal Year 2023 - Acquisitions
On May 31, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of a New Zealand based leading manufacturer of state-of-the-art, automated protein packaging machines. The purchase consideration of $45 million is subject to customary post-closing adjustments. The consideration includes contingent consideration of $13 million, to be earned and paid in cash over the two years following the acquisition date, subject to meeting certain performance targets. The acquisition is part of the Company's Flexibles reportable segment and resulted in the recognition of acquired identifiable net assets of $21 million and goodwill of $24 million. Goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. The fair values of the contingent consideration, identifiable net assets acquired, and goodwill are based on the Company's best estimate as of March 31, 2024 using information available as of the acquisition date, and are considered preliminary. The Company aims to complete the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable but no later than one year from the date of the acquisition.
On March 17, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of a 100% equity interest in a medical device packaging manufacturing site in Shanghai, China. The purchase consideration of $61 million included contingent consideration of $20 million, to be earned and paid in cash over the three years following the acquisition date, subject to meeting certain performance targets. The acquisition is part of the Company's Flexibles reportable segment and resulted in the recognition of acquired identifiable net assets of $21 million and goodwill of $40 million. Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The fair values of the contingent consideration, identifiable net assets acquired, and goodwill are based on the Company's best estimate using information available as of the acquisition date.
The fair value estimates for all three acquisitions in fiscal years 2024 and 2023 were based on income, market, and cost valuation methods. Pro forma information related to these acquisitions has not been presented, as the effect of the acquisitions on the Company's consolidated financial statements was not material.
Fiscal Year 2023 - Disposal
On December 23, 2022, the Company completed the sale of the Russian business after receiving all necessary regulatory approvals and cash proceeds, including receipt of closing cash balances. The sale followed the Company’s previously announced plan to pursue the orderly sale of its Russian business. The total net cash consideration received, excluding disposed cash and items settled net, was $365 million and resulted in a net pre-tax net gain of $215 million. The carrying value of the Russian business had previously been impaired by $90 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The impairment charge was based on the Company's best estimate of the fair value of its Russian business, which considered the wide range of indicative bids received and uncertain regulatory environment. The net pre-tax gain on disposal of the Russian business was recorded as restructuring and other related activities, net within the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income. The Russian business had a net carrying value of $252 million, including allocated goodwill of $46 million and accumulated other comprehensive losses of $73 million, primarily attributed to foreign currency translation adjustments.
Note 5 - Restructuring
Restructuring and related expenses, net, were $30 million and $50 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $82 million and $53 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company's restructuring activities for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were primarily comprised of restructuring activities related to the 2023 Restructuring Plan (as defined below).
Restructuring related expenses are directly attributable to restructuring activities; however, they do not qualify for special accounting treatment as exit or disposal activities. The Company believes the disclosure of restructuring related costs provides more information on its restructuring activities.
2023 Restructuring Plan
On February 7, 2023, the Company announced that it will allocate approximately $110 million to $130 million of the sale proceeds from the Russian business to various cost saving initiatives to partly offset divested earnings from the Russian business (the "2023 Restructuring Plan" or the "Plan"). The Company expects the total Plan cash and non-cash net expenses to total approximately $230 million. As of March 31, 2024, the Company has initiated projects with an expected net cost of approximately $227 million, of which $92 million relates to employee related expenses, $48 million to fixed asset related expenses (net of expected gains on asset disposals), $61 million to other restructuring expenses, and $26 million to restructuring related expenses. The projects initiated as of March 31, 2024 are expected to result in approximately $120 million of net cash expenditures. The Plan includes both the Flexibles and Rigid Packaging reportable segments and is expected to be largely completed by the end of calendar year 2024.
From the initiation of the Plan through March 31, 2024, the Company has incurred $80 million in employee related expenses, $36 million in fixed asset related expenses, $38 million in other restructuring, and $17 million in restructuring related expenses, with $149 million incurred in the Flexibles reportable segment and $22 million incurred in the Rigid Packaging reportable segment. The Plan has resulted in cumulative net cash outflows of $70 million. Additional cash payments of approximately $10 million to $15 million, net of estimated proceeds from disposals, are expected for the remainder of the fiscal year 2024, the majority of which relates to the Flexibles reportable segment.
The restructuring related costs relate primarily to the closure of facilities and include startup and training costs after relocation of equipment, and other costs incidental to the Plan.
Other Restructuring Plans
The Company has entered into other individually immaterial restructuring plans ("Other Restructuring Plans"). Expenses incurred on such programs are primarily costs to move equipment and other costs.

Note 7 - 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. As of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, the carrying value of these financial instruments, excluding long-term debt, approximated fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
The carrying value of long-term debt with variable interest rates approximates its fair 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 the fair value of designated receive-fixed/pay-variable interest rate swaps) were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | March 31, 2024 | | June 30, 2023 |
| | Carrying Value | | Fair Value | | Carrying Value | | Fair Value |
($ in millions) | | | (Level 2) | | | (Level 2) |
Total long-term debt with fixed interest rates (excluding commercial paper (1) and finance leases) | | $ | 4,127 | | | $ | 3,958 | | | $ | 4,123 | | | $ | 3,844 | |
(1) As of March 31, 2024, and June 30, 2023, the Company held interest rate swap contracts for a total notional amount of commercial paper equal to $1.2 billion. These contracts are considered to be economic hedges and the related $1.2 billion notional amount of commercial paper is also excluded from the total long-term debt with fixed interest rates.
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 tables summarize the fair values 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 | | $ | — | | | $ | 103 | | | $ | 46 | | | $ | 149 | |
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.
Contingent purchase consideration liabilities arise from business acquisitions and other investments. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had contingent purchase consideration liabilities of $36 million, consisting of $26 million of contingent purchase consideration predominantly relating to fiscal year 2023 acquisitions (refer to Note 4, "Acquisitions and Disposals") and a $10 million liability that is contingent on future royalty income generated by Discma AG, a subsidiary acquired in March 2017. The fair values of the contingent purchase consideration liabilities were determined for each arrangement individually. The fair values were determined using an income approach with significant inputs that are not observable in the market. Key assumptions include the selection of 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 require adjustment over the life for changes in risks and probabilities. Changes arising from modifications in forecasts related to contingent consideration are not expected to be material. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, income of $1 million and $10 million, respectively, were recorded in other income/(expenses), net from remeasuring the fair values of the Company's contingent purchase consideration liabilities.
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 sheets.
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 certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, generally when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable, or when they are deemed to be other than temporarily impaired. These assets include goodwill and other intangible assets, equity method and other investments, assets held for sale, and other long-lived assets. Generally, assets are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as a result of impairment charges or as a result of charges to remeasure assets classified as held for sale to fair value less costs to sell. 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. These nonrecurring fair value measurements are considered to be Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, there were no impairment charges recorded on indefinite-lived intangibles, including goodwill. For information on long-lived asset impairments, refer to fixed asset related expenses in Note 5, "Restructuring".
Note 8 - Derivative Instruments
The Company periodically uses derivatives and other financial instruments to hedge exposures to interest rates, commodity prices, and currency risks. The Company does not hold or issue derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes. For hedges that meet hedge accounting criteria, the Company, at inception, formally designates and documents the instruments 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 designated 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, the gains and losses related to the changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps are included in interest expense and offset changes in the fair value of the hedged portion of the underlying debt that are attributable to the changes in market interest rates. 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 statements of income in other income/(expenses), net.
In March 2023, the Company entered into interest rate swap contracts for a total notional amount of $1.2 billion. Under the terms of the contracts, the Company pays a weighted-average fixed interest rate of 3.88% and receives a variable rate of interest, based on 1-month Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), from July 2023 through June 2024, settled monthly. As of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, the Company had no other receive-variable/pay-fixed interest rate swaps. Although the Company is not applying hedge accounting, the Company believes that these economic hedging instruments are effective in protecting the Company against the risks of changes in the variable interest rate on a portion of its forecasted commercial paper issuances.
As of March 31, 2024, and June 30, 2023, the total notional amount of the Company’s receive-fixed/pay-variable interest rate swaps was $650 million.
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 accumulated other comprehensive loss ("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 recognized in earnings over the life of the hedging relationship in the same consolidated statements of income line item as the underlying hedged item. Changes in the fair value of forward contracts that have not been designated as hedging instruments are reported in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income.
As of March 31, 2024, and June 30, 2023, the notional amount of the outstanding forward contracts was $518 million and $462 million, respectively.
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 through the use of fixed price swaps.
In some cases, 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 central treasury units. 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 statements of income when the forecasted transaction is realized.
The Company had the following outstanding commodity contracts to hedge forecasted purchases:
