ARDAGH METAL PACKAGING S.A.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. General information
Ardagh Metal Packaging S.A. (the “Company” or “AMPSA”) was incorporated in Luxembourg on January 20, 2021. The Company’s registered office is 56, rue Charles Martel, L-2134 Luxembourg, Luxembourg.
Approximately
The Company is an independent, pure-play metal beverage can company, whose ordinary shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “AMBP.” The Company and its subsidiaries (together, the “Group”) are a leading supplier of metal beverage cans globally, with a particular focus on the Americas and Europe. The Group supplies sustainable and infinitely recyclable metal packaging to a diversified customer base of leading global, regional and national beverage producers. AMP operates
The Group does not have any operations within Russia or Ukraine and continues to monitor and comply with the various sanctions administered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, the European Union, the United Kingdom and the United Nations Security Committee that have been imposed on the Russian government and certain Russian entities and individuals.
These unaudited consolidated interim financial statements reflect the consolidation of the legal entities forming the Group for the periods presented.
The accounting policies that have been applied to the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements are described in note 3.
2. Statement of directors’ approval
The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements were approved for issue by the board of directors of AMPSA (the “Board”) on July 21, 2026.
3. Summary of accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements of the Group for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’. The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2025, which was prepared in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards and related interpretations as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).
The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements are presented in U.S. dollar rounded to the nearest million. The functional currency of the Company is euro.
Income tax in interim periods is accrued using the effective tax rate expected to be applied to annual earnings.
Ardagh Metal Packaging S.A.

The accounting policies, presentation and methods of computation followed in the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those applied in the Group’s latest Annual Report.
Going concern
At the date that the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements were approved for issue by the Board, the Board has formed the judgment that there is a reasonable expectation that the Group will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, these unaudited consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, the Board has taken into account all available information about a period, extending to at least, June 30, 2027.
In arriving at its conclusion, the Board has taken account of the Group’s current and anticipated trading performance, together with current and anticipated levels of cash and net debt, the availability of committed borrowing facilities and external factors including the evolving trade and tariff environment, economic and exchange rate volatility linked to political and geopolitical risks, the separate and distinct AMPSA capital structure, and as a result, it is the Board’s judgment that it is appropriate to prepare the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements using the going concern basis.
Recent changes in accounting pronouncements
New standards and amendments to existing standards and interpretations which are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026, and have not been early adopted by the Group include IFRS 18 ‘Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements’ which will replace IAS 1 ‘Presentation of Financial Statements.’ IFRS 18 will retain many of the principles from IAS 1 with limited changes, in particular, it will not impact the recognition or measurement of items in the financial statements, or items which are presented in the income statement. IFRS 18 will introduce new presentation of items within the income statement, new required disclosures in the financial statements for certain management defined performance measures reported outside of an entity’s financial statements, and enhanced principles on aggregation and disaggregation which apply to the primary financial statements and notes in general. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027 with retrospective application to all comparative periods. The Board’s assessment of the impact of this standard on the consolidated financial statements is on-going.
The Board’s assessment of the impact of other new or amended standards which are not yet effective and which have not been early adopted by the Group, including various Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 regarding ‘Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity’ and ‘Classification and the Measurement of Financial Instruments’, and IFRS 19 ‘Subsidiaries without Public Accountability’ is on-going however they are not expected to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
4. Segment analysis
The Group’s
Performance of the Group is assessed based on Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is the profit or loss for the period before income tax charge or credit, net finance expense or income, depreciation and amortization and exceptional operating items. Sales contracts generally provide for the pass through of metal and energy price fluctuations as well as a mechanism for the recovery of other input cost inflation, while certain contracts have tolling arrangements whereby customers arrange for the procurement of metal themselves. Consequently, the CODM evaluates the financial effects of the business activities of the reportable segments based on Adjusted EBITDA, which includes the net impact of the pass through pricing model operated by the business.

Segmental revenues are derived from sales to external customers. Inter-segmental revenue is not material.

Within each reportable segment our respective packaging containers have similar production processes and classes of customers. Further, they have similar economic characteristics, as evidenced by similar profit margins, similar degrees of risk and similar opportunities for growth. Based on the foregoing, we do not consider that they constitute separate product lines and, therefore, additional disclosures relating to product lines are not necessary.

Goodwill is not subject to amortization and is tested annually for impairment following the approval of the annual budget (normally at the end of the financial year), or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment.
Management has considered whether any impairment indicators existed at the reporting date, and has concluded that the carrying amount of the goodwill is fully recoverable as at June 30, 2026.

Fair value methodology
There has been no change to the fair value hierarchies for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments.
Fair values are calculated as follows:
| (i) | Senior Secured Green and Senior Green Notes – the fair value of debt securities in issue is based on valuation techniques in which all significant inputs are based on observable market data and represent Level 2 inputs. |
| (ii) | Global Asset Based Loan facility and Other borrowings – the fair values of the borrowings in issue are based on valuation techniques in which all significant inputs are based on observable market data and represent Level 2 inputs. |
| (iii) | Cross currency interest rate swaps (“CCIRS”) – the fair value of the CCIRS are based on quoted market prices and represent Level 2 inputs. |
| (iv) | Commodity and foreign exchange derivatives – the fair value of these derivatives are based on quoted market prices and represent Level 2 inputs. |
| (v) | Earnout Shares, Private and Public Warrants (see note 12 for further details) – the fair values of the Earnout Shares and Private Warrants are based on valuation techniques using an unobservable volatility assumption which represents Level 3 inputs, whereas the fair value of the Public Warrants is based on an observable market price and represents a Level 1 input. |
| (vi) | Virtual power purchase agreement – the fair value of the embedded derivative (floor price) in the virtual power purchase agreement is based on a valuation technique using an unobservable volatility assumption which represents a Level 3 input. |

16. Contingencies
Environmental issues
The Group is regulated under various national and local environmental, occupational health and safety and other governmental laws and regulations relating to:
| ● | the operation of installations for manufacturing of metal packaging and surface treatment using solvents; |
| ● | the generation, storage, handling, use and transportation of hazardous materials; |
| ● | the emission of substances and physical agents into the environment; |
| ● | the discharge of waste water and disposal of waste; |
| ● | the remediation of contamination; |
| ● | the design, characteristics, collection and recycling of its packaging products; and |
| ● | the manufacturing and servicing of machinery and equipment for the metal packaging industry. |
The Group believes, based on current information, that it is in substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations and permit requirements. It does not believe it will be required, under existing or anticipated future environmental laws and regulations, to expend amounts, over and above the amounts accrued, which will have a material effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations or cash flows. In addition, no material proceedings against the Group arising under environmental laws are pending. Finally, the Group believes that the potential impact of climate change, including permit compliance, property damage and business disruption, on the Group has not resulted in a contingent obligation at June 30, 2026.
Contingent asset
In December 2022, Ardagh Metal Packaging USA Corp., a subsidiary of AMPSA, filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, against its customer, American Craft Brewery, a subsidiary of The Boston Beer Company, Inc. ("Boston Beer"), for breach of contract in respect of minimum volume purchase requirements. The litigation progressed to trial during the period and in April 2026 a jury awarded damages of approximately $
As the judgment remains subject to post-trial motions and a potential appeals process, the Group has assessed the amounts awarded to AMPSA constitute a contingent asset and, accordingly, a receivable has not been recognized in the unaudited consolidated statement of financial position at June 30, 2026.
Other legal matters
The Group is involved in certain other legal proceedings arising in the normal course of its business. The Group believes that none of these other proceedings, either individually or in aggregate, are expected to have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
17. Seasonality of operations
The Group’s revenue and cash flows are both subject to seasonal fluctuations, with the Group generally building inventories in anticipation of these seasonal demands resulting in working capital requirements typically being the greatest

at the end of the first quarter of the year. The demand for our metal beverage products is strongest during spells of warm weather and therefore demand typically peaks during the summer months, as well as in the period leading up to holidays in December.
The Group manages the seasonality of working capital principally by supplementing operating cash flows with drawings under our Global Asset Based Loan facility.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read together with, and is qualified in its entirety by, reference to the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, including the related notes thereto. As used in this section, the “Group” refers to Ardagh Metal Packaging S.A. and its subsidiaries.
Some of the measures used in this report are not measurements of financial performance under IFRS Accounting Standards and should not be considered an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of liquidity or an alternative to operating profit or profit for the period as indicators of our operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards.
Business drivers
The main factors affecting the results of the Group’s operations are: (i) global economic trends, end-consumer demand for our products and production capacity of our production facilities; (ii) prices of energy and raw materials used in our business, primarily aluminum and coatings, which can be impacted by new, expanded or retaliatory tariffs or new trade agreements, and our ability to pass through these and other cost increases to our customers, through contractual pass through mechanisms under multi-year contracts, or through renegotiation in the case of short-term contracts; (iii) investment in capacity expansion and operating cost reductions; (iv) acquisitions; and (v) foreign exchange rate fluctuations and currency translation risks arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the euro, U.S. dollar, British pound, Polish zloty and Brazilian real.
We generate our revenue from supplying metal can packaging to the beverage end-use category. Revenue is primarily dependent on sales volumes and sales prices. While we currently believe the prevailing tariff environment is likely to have a minimal impact on the results of the Group’s operations, management continues to closely monitor the evolving trade developments and the potential impact on the Group.
Sales volumes are influenced by a number of factors, including factors driving customer demand, seasonality and the capacity of our metal beverage packaging plants. Demand for our metal beverage cans may be influenced by trends in the consumption of beverages, industry trends in packaging, including customer marketing and pricing decisions, and the impact of environmental regulations and shifts in consumer sentiment towards a greater awareness of sustainability. The demand for our beverage products is strongest during spells of warm weather and therefore demand typically, based on historical trends, peaks during the summer months, as well as in the period leading up to the holidays in December. Accordingly, we generally build inventories in the first and fourth quarters in anticipation of the seasonal demands in our beverage business.
Our Adjusted EBITDA is based on revenue derived from selling our metal beverage cans and is affected by a number of factors, including cost of sales, and sales, marketing and administrative expenses. The elements of our cost of sales include (i) variable costs, such as energy, raw materials (including the cost of aluminum), packaging materials, decoration and freight and other distribution costs, and (ii) fixed costs, such as labor and other plant-related costs including depreciation and maintenance. Sales contracts generally provide for the pass through of metal and energy price fluctuations as well as a mechanism for the recovery of other input cost inflation. Our variable costs have typically constituted approximately 75% and fixed costs approximately 25% of the total cost of sales for our business.

Revenue
Revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased by $258 million, or 18%, to $1,713 million, compared with $1,455 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase, excluding favorable foreign currency translation effects of $20 million, principally reflects the pass through of higher input costs to customers and favorable volume/mix effects.
Cost of sales
Cost of sales in the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased by $205 million, or 16%, to $1,475 million, compared with $1,270 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025. Pre-exceptional cost of sales increased by $217 million from the prior period. The increase in pre-exceptional cost of sales is principally due to increased revenue, as noted above, and corresponding input costs. Further analysis of the movements in exceptional items is set out in the “Supplemental Management’s Discussion and Analysis” section.
Gross profit
Gross profit in the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased by $53 million, or 29%, to $238 million, compared with $185 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025. Gross profit percentage in the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased by 120 basis points to 13.9%, compared with 12.7% in the three months ended June 30, 2025. Excluding exceptional cost of sales, gross profit percentage in the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased by 40 basis points to 14.0% compared with 13.6% in the three months ended June 30, 2025, as a result of the items outlined above in “Revenue” and “Cost of Sales”. Further analysis of the movements in exceptional items is set out in the “Supplemental Management’s Discussion and Analysis” section.
Sales, general and administration expenses
Sales, general and administration expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased by $19 million, or 28%, to $87 million, compared with $68 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in sales, general and administration expenses was primarily due to higher labor costs. Excluding exceptional items, sales, general and administration expenses increased by $17 million. Exceptional sales, general and administration expenses increased by $2

million compared with the three months ended June 30, 2025. Further analysis of the movements in exceptional items is set out in the “Supplemental Management’s Discussion and Analysis” section.
Intangible amortization
Intangible amortization in the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased by $1 million, or 3% to $36 million, compared with $35 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to foreign currency translation effects.
Operating profit
Operating profit in the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased by $33 million, or 40% to $115 million compared with $82 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025 due to higher gross profit, partially offset by increased sales, general and administration expenses and higher intangible amortization as outlined above.
Net finance expense
Net finance expense in the three months ended June 30, 2026 decreased by $3 million, or 4% to $64 million, compared with $67 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025. Net finance expense in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 comprised the following:

Senior Facilities interest expense in the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased by $3 million to $43 million, compared with $40 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase primarily reflects the higher principal of the Senior Secured Green Notes due 2031 issued in December 2025, than the senior facilities repaid on the same date.
Lease interest cost in the three months ended June 30, 2026 of $6 million is consistent with the three months ended June 30, 2025.
The Group recognized no gains or losses on derivative financial instruments in the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared with a loss of $3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025, which primarily related to the Group’s vPPA and CCIRS.
Foreign currency translation losses in the three months ended June 30, 2026 amounted to $4 million, compared with $1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025.
Exceptional net finance expense of $2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026 relates to a loss on movement in the fair market value of the Earnout Shares. Exceptional net finance expense of $8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025 related to a loss on movement in the fair market value, partly offset by foreign currency movements, on the Earnout Shares.

Supplemental Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Key operating measures
Adjusted EBITDA consists of profit for the period before income tax charge, net finance expense, depreciation and amortization and exceptional operating items. We use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate and assess our segment performance. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because we believe that it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in evaluating companies in the packaging industry. However, other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA in a manner different from ours. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under IFRS Accounting Standards and should not be considered an alternative to profit as indicators of operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards.
For a reconciliation of the profit for the period to Adjusted EBITDA see Note 4 – Segment analysis of the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.
Adjusted EBITDA in the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased by $30 million, or 14%, to $240 million, compared with $210 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase is principally due to higher input cost recovery, partly offset by higher operations and overhead costs.

Adjusted EBITDA in the six months ended June 30, 2026 increased by $54 million, or 15%, to $419 million, compared with $365 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025. Adjusted EBITDA increased principally due to higher input cost recovery and favorable volume/mix effects, partly offset by higher operations and overhead costs.

We believe that our cash balances and future cash flow from operating activities, as well as our current credit facilities, will provide sufficient liquidity to fund our maintenance capital expenditure, interest payments on our notes and other credit facilities and dividend payments for at least the next twelve months. In addition, we believe that we will be able to fund certain additional investments through a combination of cash flow generated from operations and, where appropriate, to raise additional financing.

Capital expenditure for the six months ended June 30, 2026 increased by $14 million to $95 million, compared with $81 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was due to increased maintenance capital expenditure. Capital expenditure for the six months ended June 30, 2026 includes $29 million (2025: $30 million) related to the growth investment program.
In Europe, capital expenditure in the six months ended June 30, 2026 of $69 million compared with $40 million in the same period in 2025, with the increase primarily attributable to increased spend on the Group’s growth investment program and higher maintenance capital expenditure. In the Americas, capital expenditure in the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $26 million, compared with $41 million in the same period in 2025, with the decrease primarily attributable to reduced spend on the Group’s growth investment program partly offset by higher maintenance capital expenditure.
Receivables Factoring and Related Programs
The Group participates in several uncommitted accounts receivable factoring and related programs with various financial institutions for certain receivables. Such programs are accounted for as true sales of receivables, as they are either without recourse to the Group or transfer substantially all the risk and rewards to the financial institutions. Receivables of $643 million were sold under these programs at June 30, 2026 (December 31, 2025: $579 million).
Trade Payables Processing
Certain of the Group’s suppliers have access to independent third-party payable processors. The processors allow suppliers, if they choose, to sell their receivables to financial institutions at the sole discretion of both the supplier and the financial institution. The Group does not direct or have any involvement in the sale of these receivables and availing of these arrangements is at the discretion of the supplier. As the original liability to our suppliers remains, including amounts due and scheduled payment dates, and is neither legally extinguished nor substantially modified, the Group continues to present such obligations within trade payables and includes payments to the processors within cash from operations. Included within trade and other payables at June 30, 2026 is an amount of $45 million (December 31, 2025 $84 million) where suppliers have received payments from the processors.
