**GAAP Net Income of $242 million**

**Adjusted EBITDA $883 million, flat to prior year^(1)**

**Updates Outlook for Transition Period**

ZURICH, Nov. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Amcor (NYSE: AMCR, ASX: AMC), a global leader
in developing and producing responsible packaging solutions, today reported results
for the quarter ended September 30, 2026.

Amcor CEO Peter Konieczny said, "We delivered solid operating results this quarter,
with broad-based organic volume growth of 1%, led by 3% volume growth in the focus
categories. Synergy realization was in line with expectations, and we are on track
to achieve our three-year $650 million target.

Energy and distribution costs accelerated late in the quarter, which is creating
a headwind in the transition period. Actions to address these inflationary pressures
are underway, and we do not expect these higher costs to impact 2027 results.

Building on our broad-based momentum, we are focused on driving long-term sustainable
volume growth, and we remain confident in delivering on our medium and long-term
financial commitments."

**Financial Results**

**Three months ended September 30, 2026**

Net sales of $6,129 million were 6% higher than last year on a constant currency
basis, including an unfavorable impact from divestitures of approximately $112 million,
or (2%) on net sales. The pass through of movements in raw material costs had a 
favorable impact of approximately $435 million, or 8% on net sales and the remaining
1% year over year increase reflects the net impact of volumes and price/mix.

Volumes were approximately 1% higher compared to the September quarter last year.
Excluding non-core and divested businesses, volumes were approximately 1.5% higher
than prior year. Volume growth was broad-based across nearly all end markets, led
by strong growth in pet food, foodservice and beauty and wellness, and was partially
offset by lower unconverted film volumes in North America. Across regions, volumes
increased in all geographies, led by emerging markets. Price/mix did not have a 
material impact on net sales.

Adjusted EBIT of $689 million was in line with last year on a constant currency 
basis, including an unfavorable impact from divestitures of approximately $17 million,
or (3%). The remaining 3% year-over-year variation mainly reflects synergy benefits
from the Berry acquisition of approximately $50 million and higher volumes partly
offset by expected incentive rebuild and the timing of pass-through of higher energy
and distribution costs.

Adjusted EBIT margin of 11.2% was impacted by 90-basis point dilution related to
increased sales dollars associated with passing through higher raw material costs.
Excluding this impact, Adjusted EBIT margin was 12.1%, which was up 10 basis points
to prior year on a comparable basis.

Net interest expense was $153 million and adjusted income tax expense was $96 million
inclusive of  acquisition related financial benefits of approximately $10 million.
GAAP income tax expense was $58 million. Adjusted tax expense represents an effective
tax rate of 18% in line with the same period last year.  Net interest expense was
$13 million higher than the prior year adjusted net interest expense primarily as
a result of higher interest rates.

Free cash outflow of $820 million, after funding approximately $31 million of Berry
related net restructuring and integration costs, was lower than prior year due to
working capital impacts driven by resin price volatility related to the Middle East
conflict.

Net debt was $14,011 million at September 30, 2026.   

**Dividend**

Based on its confidence in the company’s growth trajectory and its disciplined capital
allocation strategy,  the Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of 66.0 cents
per share.  This reflects a one cent per share increase compared with 65.0 cents
per share in the same quarter last year, declared as 13.0 cents per share before
adjusting for the 1-for-5 reverse stock split effected on January 14, 2026. The 
dividend will be paid in US dollars to holders of Amcor’s ordinary shares trading
on the NYSE. Holders of CDIs trading on the ASX will receive an unfranked dividend
of 94.0 Australian cents per share, which reflects the quarterly dividend of 66.0
cents per share converted at an AUD:USD average exchange rate of 0.7034 over the
five trading days ended November 2, 2026.

The ex-dividend date will be November 24, 2026 for holders of CDIs trading on the
ASX and November 25, 2026 for holders of shares trading on the NYSE.  For all shareholders,
the record date will be November 25, 2026 and the payment date will be December 
16, 2026.

**Updated Transition Period Outlook**

Amcor will have a six-month reporting period from July 1, 2026, through December
31, 2026 (‘Transition Period’), as part of transitioning from a previously announced
June 30 to December 31 year-end.

For the Transition Period, the Company is lowering its outlook for Adjusted EPS 
to $1.70 to $1.80 from $1.80 to $1.90 due to the timing of pass-through of higher
energy and distribution costs. The Company now expects leverage on December 31, 
2026 of approximately 3.6x**^(1)** as compared to its previous expectation for leverage
of 3.5 – 3.6x.

Outlook does not take into account the impact of potential portfolio optimization
actions not announced to date.  Outlook contemplates a range of factors, including
ongoing geopolitical developments, which create a higher degree of uncertainty and
additional complexity when estimating future financial results and actual results
could vary materially.  Reconciliations of projected non-GAAP measures are not included
herein because the individual components are not known with certainty as individual
financial statements for the periods referenced have not been completed.  Refer 
to page 11 for further information.

(1) Leverage calculated as Net Debt divided by LTM Adjusted EBITDA plus share-based compensation.

**Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements **

Unless otherwise indicated, references to "Amcor," the "Company," "we," "our," and"
us" in this document refer to Amcor plc and its consolidated subsidiaries. This 
document 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 provides any representation, assurance, or guarantee
that the occurrence of the events expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements
will actually occur or if any of them do occur, what impact they will have on the
business, results of operations or financial condition of Amcor. Should any risks
and uncertainties develop into actual events, these developments could have a material
adverse effect on Amcor’s business. 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; risk 
of 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; risk of integrating acquisitions and achieving the financial and other
results and benefits anticipated at the time of acquisition; risk that the strategic
review of our portfolio may cause disruptions to our business or may not result 
in completion of a transaction to restructure or divest non-core businesses or may
not create additional value for our shareholders; an inability to expand our current
business effectively through either organic growth, including product innovation,
investments, or acquisitions; challenging global economic conditions, including 
impacts from the Middle East conflict; 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 those resulting from geopolitical conflicts and counterparty
credit risks, which may be exacerbated in times of economic volatility; pandemics,
epidemics, or other disease outbreaks; an inability to attract, develop, and retain
our skilled workforce and manage key transitions; labor disputes and an inability
to renew collective bargaining agreements at acceptable terms; physical impacts 
of climate change; significant disruption at a key manufacturing facility; 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; risk that the use of artificial intelligence could adversely affect our business
and financial results; risk that the Company’s significant indebtedness may limit
its flexibility and increase its borrowing costs; rising interest rates that increase
our borrowing costs on our variable rate indebtedness and could have other negative
impacts; 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 key operational risks we face; an inability to defend our intellectual property
rights or intellectual property infringement claims against us; litigation, including
product liability claims or litigation related to Environmental, Social, and Governance("
ESG") matters, or regulatory developments; increasing scrutiny and changing expectations
from investors, customers, suppliers, and governments with respect to our ESG practices
and commitments resulting in additional costs or exposure to additional risks; changing
ESG government regulations including climate-related rules; changing environmental,
health, and safety laws; changes in tax laws or changes in our geographic mix of
earnings; and changes in trade policy, including tariff and customs regulations 
or failure to comply with such regulations.  These risks and uncertainties are supplemented
by those identified from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC"), including without limitation, those described under Part
I, "Item 1A – Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2026, and as updated by our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. You can
obtain copies of Amcor’s filings with the SEC for free at the SEC’s website ([www.sec.gov](http://www.sec.gov)).
Forward-looking statements included herein are made only as of the date hereof and
Amcor does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements,
or any other information in this communication, as a result of new information, 
future developments or otherwise, or to correct any inaccuracies or omissions in
them which become apparent, except as expressly required by law. All forward-looking
statements in this communication are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary
statement.

**Presentation of non-GAAP information**

Included in this release are measures of financial performance that are not calculated
in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These measures include adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA (
calculated as earnings before interest and tax and depreciation and amortization),
adjusted EBIT and EBIT (calculated as earnings before interest and tax), adjusted
net income, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted free cash flow, and net debt. 
In arriving at these non-GAAP measures, we exclude items that either have a non-
recurring impact on the income statement or which, in the judgment of our management,
are items that, either as a result of their nature or size, could, were they not
singled out, potentially cause investors to extrapolate future performance from 
an improper base. Note that while amortization of acquired intangible assets is 
excluded from non-GAAP adjusted financial measures, the revenue of the acquired 
entities and all other expenses unless otherwise stated, are reflected in our non-
GAAP financial performance earnings measures. While not all inclusive, examples 
of these items include: material restructuring programs, including associated costs
such as employee severance, pension and related benefits, impairment of property
and equipment and other assets, accelerated depreciation, termination payments for
contracts and leases, contractual obligations, and any other qualifying costs related
to restructuring plans; material sales and earnings from disposed or ceased operations
and any associated profit or loss on sale of businesses or subsidiaries; changes
in the fair value of economic hedging instruments on commercial paper and contingent
purchase consideration; pension settlements; impairments in goodwill and equity 
method investments; material acquisition compensation and transaction costs such
as due diligence expenses, professional and legal fees, financing-related expenses;
and integration costs; material purchase accounting adjustments for inventory; amortization
of acquired intangible assets from business combination; gains or losses on significant
property and divestitures and significant property and other impairments, net of
insurance recovery; certain regulatory and legal matters; impacts from highly inflationary
accounting; expenses related to the Company’s CEO and CFO  transition; and impacts
related to the Russia-Ukraine conflict and conflict in the Middle East.

Amcor also evaluates performance on a comparable constant currency basis, which 
measures financial results assuming constant foreign currency exchange rates used
for translation based on the average rates in effect for the comparable prior year
period. In order to compute comparable constant currency results, we multiply or
divide, as appropriate, current-year U.S. dollar results by the current year average
foreign exchange rates and then multiply or divide, as appropriate, those amounts
by the prior-year average foreign exchange rates. We then adjust for other items
affecting comparability. While not all inclusive, examples of items affecting comparability
include the difference between sales or earnings in the current period and the prior
period related to disposed, or ceased operations. Comparable constant currency net
sales performance also excludes the impact from passing through movements in raw
material costs.  

Management has used and uses these measures internally for planning, forecasting
and evaluating the performance of the Company’s reporting segments and certain of
the measures are used as a component of Amcor’s Board of Directors’ measurement 
of Amcor’s performance for incentive compensation purposes. Amcor believes that 
these non-GAAP measures are useful to enable investors to perform comparisons of
current and historical performance of the Company. For each of these non-GAAP financial
measures, a reconciliation to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure
has been provided herein. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed
as an alternative to results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company
provides guidance on a non-GAAP basis as we are unable to predict with reasonable
certainty the ultimate outcome and timing of certain significant forward-looking
items without unreasonable effort.  These items include but are not limited to the
impact of foreign exchange translation, restructuring program costs, asset impairments,
possible gains and losses on the sale of assets, certain tax related events, and
difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections in connection with the legacy
Berry Global business given recency of access to all relevant information. These
items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact
on U.S. GAAP earnings and cash flow measures for the guidance period.

Reconciliations of Transition Period projected non-GAAP measures are not included
herein because the individual components are not known with certainty as individual
financial statements for Transition Period have not been completed.

**Reverse Stock Split**

On January 14, 2026, the Company filed an amendment to its memorandum of association
to effect a 1-for-5 reverse stock split (the "Reverse Split") of the Company’s ordinary
shares. The Reverse Split became effective on January 14, 2026 and reduced the number
of authorized ordinary shares to 1,800,000,000 and increased the par value of the
ordinary shares to $0.05 per share. Accordingly, all share and per share amounts
for all prior periods presented in the discussion within this release have been 
adjusted retroactively, where applicable, to reflect the Reverse Split.

**Dividends**

Amcor has received a waiver from the ASX’s settlement operating rules, which will
allow the Company to defer processing conversions between its ordinary share and
CDI registers from November 24, 2026 to November 25, 2026 inclusive.
