Amcor Delivers Robust Fourth Quarter and Full-Year Financial Performance

Amcor reported strong Q4 and full-year fiscal 2026 results, driven by the Berry Global acquisition and effective cost management. Net sales and net income significantly increased, with Adjusted EBITDA also showing substantial growth.

ZURICH, Aug. 12, 2026

Amcor, a global leader in responsible consumer packaging, today announced a robust performance for its fourth quarter and full fiscal year ended June 30, 2026. The company highlighted significant growth in net sales and profitability, largely propelled by the successful integration of the Berry Global acquisition and effective management of input cost inflation.

Key Financial Highlights – Three Months Ended June 30, 2026:

  • Net sales reached $6.4 billion, marking a substantial 26% increase. This surge was primarily attributed to the Berry acquisition and the pass-through of higher raw material costs.
  • Net income dramatically improved to $389 million, a significant turnaround from a net loss of $39 million in the prior year.
  • Adjusted EBITDA saw a 32% rise, reaching $1,045 million compared to $789 million in the previous year.
  • Diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS) stood at $0.83, a notable improvement from $-0.10 in the prior year.
  • Adjusted Diluted EPS grew by 23% to $1.23, up from $1.00 in the prior year.

Key Financial Highlights – Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2026:

  • Full-year net sales soared to $23.5 billion, an impressive 57% increase, overwhelmingly driven by the Berry acquisition.
  • Net income more than doubled to $1,106 million, compared to $511 million in the prior year.
  • Adjusted EBITDA surged by 68% to $3,673 million, up from $2,186 million in the previous year.
  • Diluted EPS increased to $2.38, from $1.60 in the prior year.
  • Adjusted Diluted EPS climbed 13% to $4.02, from $3.56 in the prior year.

Outlook – Six Months Ended December 31, 2026 (‘Transition Period’):

  • The company projects Adjusted Diluted EPS to be in the range of $1.80 to $1.90.

Peter Konieczny, CEO of Amcor, commented, “We delivered strong operating performance in the fourth quarter despite a challenging macro environment. We drove broad-based volume growth, while effectively managing unprecedented input cost inflation. Synergy realization came in ahead of plan, while performance in our non-core businesses improved substantially.”

Konieczny further added, “Looking ahead, we are encouraged by the momentum we see across the business and the greater potential for growth and continued synergy capture following the transformative acquisition of Berry. As we complete the integration and begin to realize our potential as a global leader in consumer packaging, we remain confident in delivering on our medium and long-term commitments.”

Deep Dive: Strategic Integration and Market Dynamics

The robust financial results underscore Amcor’s successful execution of its integration strategy following the acquisition of Berry Global. The combined entity now boasts a formidable market position, leveraging expanded product portfolios and a broader geographic reach. The reported sales growth, particularly the 57% year-over-year jump for the full fiscal year, is a testament to the scale and scope of this integration. Beyond the acquisition’s immediate impact, Amcor has demonstrated adeptness in navigating a volatile economic landscape characterized by high raw material costs. The company’s ability to pass these costs through to customers, while also improving operational efficiencies, highlights a refined pricing strategy and a commitment to margin preservation.

Technologically, Amcor’s focus on innovation and sustainability in packaging solutions is a key differentiator. The company’s commitment to developing more sustainable, functional, and appealing packaging for diverse categories such as nutrition, health, beauty, and wellness positions it favorably for future growth. This is particularly relevant given the increasing consumer and regulatory demand for eco-friendly packaging. The integration of Berry’s capabilities likely enhances Amcor’s capacity for material science advancements and the development of novel packaging formats. This, coupled with their global operational footprint, allows them to tailor solutions to specific market needs and regulatory environments.

The company’s outlook for the transition period indicates continued confidence in its growth trajectory. The projected Adjusted Diluted EPS suggests a stable performance as Amcor moves towards its new fiscal year-end. Furthermore, the stated leverage ratio target of 3.5x – 3.6x on December 31, 2026, points to a disciplined approach to financial management and a commitment to deleveraging post-acquisition, a critical factor for investor confidence in the long term.

The detailed segment information reveals distinct performance trends within Amcor’s Global Flexible Packaging Solutions and Global Rigid Packaging Solutions segments. Both segments contributed significantly to the overall revenue growth, with the Global Rigid Packaging Solutions segment showing particularly strong reported growth of 38% in the quarter, driven heavily by acquisitions. The increasing Adjusted EBIT margins in the Global Rigid Packaging Solutions segment to 12.3% are indicative of successful synergy capture and operational improvements. Amcor’s ability to manage volume and price/mix dynamics across these varied segments, while also accounting for currency fluctuations, showcases sophisticated operational and financial management.

Dividend and Shareholder Returns

The Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of 65.0 cents per share, reflecting a slight increase from the prior year’s adjusted dividend of 12.75 cents per share before the 1-for-5 reverse stock split. This consistent dividend payout underscores Amcor’s commitment to returning value to shareholders, even amidst significant strategic initiatives.
