On November 4, 2024 , Treasure, which was a wholly owned subsidiary of Berry, completed the Transaction with Glatfelter, which concurrently changed its name to Magnera. As a result, pre-Transaction Treasure shareholders received shares of Magnera representing 90% of the combined company and GLT shareholders retained 10%. As Treasure was identified as the accounting acquirer, the prior year presentation represents standalone Treasure results with the acquisition method of accounting being applied to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of GLT. See Note 2. Acquisition.

The Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements contain combined financial statements for the fiscal periods prior to the Closing Date of the Transaction. The Combined Financial Statements were prepared on a stand-alone basis derived from the financial statements and accounting records of Berry and are presented as if Treasure had operated on a stand-alone basis. For the Combined Financial Statements reported for the fiscal years ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023 and the related notes refer to Exhibit 99.4 of the Form 8-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on January 31, 2025.

The pre-Transaction Combined Financial Statements of Operations, Comprehensive Income (Loss), Balance Sheets, Cash Flows and Changes in Equity have been prepared on a carve-out basis, which include assumptions underlying the preparation that management believe are reasonable. However, the combined pre-Transaction financial information included herein may not necessarily reflect the Company’s results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), balance sheets, cash flows and changes in equity had the Company been an independent stand-alone company during the periods presented.

For periods prior to the Closing Date, transactions between Berry and Treasure were reflected as a component of Berry's net investment in the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets and as a financing activity within the accompanying Consolidated and Combined Statements of Cash Flows. Berry's net investment on the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets and Consolidated and Combined Statement of Equity represents the cumulative net investment by Berry in Treasure. Concurrent with the closing of the Transaction, Berry received a cash distribution and, in turn, transferred Berry’s health, hygiene and specialties global nonwovens and films business to Treasure. As a result, Berry's net investment in Treasure was reduced to zero with a corresponding adjustment to Additional Paid-in Capital.

The accompanying Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements of Magnera Corporation have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. In preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, we must make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included, and all subsequent events up to the time of the filing have been evaluated.

Revenue is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied, in an amount reflecting the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled. We consider the promise to transfer products to be our sole performance obligation. Generally, our revenue is recognized for standard promised goods at the time of shipment, when title and risk of loss pass to the customer. The Company disaggregates revenue based on geography. See Note 11. Segment and Geographic Data.

The Company participates in customer supply chain financing programs to collect certain receivables through third-party financial institutions. These arrangements qualify as true sales, as the receivables are transferred without recourse. As a result, the balances are removed from trade receivables on the balance sheet, and the cash proceeds are reported as operating cash flows.

For the non-U.S. subsidiaries that account in a functional currency other than U.S. dollars, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using period-end exchange rates. Sales and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during the period. Foreign currency translation gains and losses are included as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss within Equity in the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in Other expense (income) in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations.

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value and are valued using the first-in, first-out method. Management periodically reviews inventory balances, using recent and future expected sales to identify slow-moving and/or obsolete items. We evaluate our reserve for inventory obsolescence on a quarterly basis and review inventory on-hand to determine future salability. We base our determinations on the age of the inventory and the experience of our personnel. We reserve inventory that we deem to be not salable in the quarter in which we make the determination. We believe, based on past history and our policies and procedures, that our net inventory is salable. Inventory, including reserves of $25 million and $15 million as of fiscal years 2025 and 2024, respectively was:

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed primarily by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from 15 to 40 years for buildings and improvements, 2 to 20 years for machinery, equipment, and tooling, and over the term of the agreement for finance leases. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the improvement or the lease term. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred. Property, plant and equipment as of fiscal 2025 and 2024 was:

Long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and definite lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment,” whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Specifically, this process involves comparing an asset’s carrying value to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows the asset is expected to generate over its remaining life. If this process were to result in the conclusion that the carrying value of a long-lived asset would not be recoverable, a write-down of the asset to fair value would be recorded through a charge to operations. No material impairments were recorded in the periods presented.

In fiscal 2025, in accordance with our accounting policy, the Company completed a quantitative test to evaluate impairment of goodwill in order to determine if the carrying value of any reporting unit exceeded its fair value. The Company reviews Goodwill for impairment as of the first day of the fourth fiscal quarter each year and more frequently if impairment indicators exist. The fair value for each reporting unit is estimated based on a combination of a comparative company market approach and a discounted cash flow analysis (income approach). Our forecasts included a terminal growth rate of 2.5%, modest margin expansion attributed to capital investments and normalization of energy inflation, and discount rates ranging from 11% to 13% being applied to the forecasted cash flows. Using the quantitative approach, the Company makes various estimates and assumptions in determining the estimated fair value of each reporting unit using a combination of discounted cash flow models and valuations based on earnings multiples for the Company’s public peer group. Discounted cash flow models are reliant on various assumptions, including projected business results, growth factors such as revenue and EBITDA margin, and weighted-average cost of capital. Management judgment is involved in estimating these variables, and they include uncertainties since they are forecasting future events. Changes in those assumptions or estimates with respect to a reporting unit or its prospects, which may result from a change in market conditions, market trends, interest rates or other factors outside of our control, or significant underperformance relative to future operating results could result in an impairment charge in the future or may require a more frequent assessment. As a result of our annual impairment evaluations the Company concluded that no impairment existed in fiscal 2025.

Customer relationships are being amortized using an accelerated amortization method, which corresponds with the customer attrition rates used in the initial valuation of the intangibles over the estimated life of the relationships that range from 10 to 15 years. The Company has trademarks that total $26 million that are indefinite lived and we test annually for impairment on the first day of the fourth quarter. Definite lived trademarks are being amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated life of the assets, which are not more than 15 years. Other intangibles, which include technology and licenses, are being amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated life of the assets that range from 8 to 20 years. We completed the annual impairment test of our indefinite lived trademarks utilizing the qualitative method in fiscal years 2025, 2024 and 2023 and noted no material impairment.

The Company leases certain manufacturing facilities, warehouses, office space, manufacturing equipment, office equipment, and automobiles. We recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases with original lease terms greater than one year based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term using our incremental borrowing rate on a collateralized basis. Short-term leases, with original lease terms of less than one year, are not recognized on the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheet. We are party to certain leases, namely for manufacturing facilities, which offer renewal options to extend the original lease term. Renewal options are included in the right-of-use asset and lease liability based on our assessment of the probability that the options will be exercised. See Note 5. Commitments, Leases and Contingencies.

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability approach, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequence of events that have been recognized in the Company’s Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements or income tax returns. Income taxes are recognized during the period in which the underlying transactions are recorded. Deferred taxes, with the exception of non-deductible goodwill, are provided for temporary differences between amounts of assets and liabilities as recorded for financial reporting purposes and such amounts as measured by tax laws. If the Company determines that a deferred tax asset arising from temporary differences is not likely to be utilized, the Company will establish a valuation allowance against that asset to record it at its expected realizable value. The Company recognizes uncertain tax positions when it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by relevant taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company’s effective tax rate is dependent on many factors including: the impact of enacted tax laws in jurisdictions in which the Company operates; the amount of earnings by jurisdiction, due to varying tax rates in each country; and the Company’s ability to utilize foreign tax credits related to foreign taxes paid on foreign earnings that will be remitted to the U.S.

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP to make extensive use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of sales and expenses. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Changes in estimates are recorded in results of operations in the period that the event or circumstances giving rise to such changes occurred.
