Fiscal Year 2026 - Acquisition

     On August 29, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% equity interest in a Brazilian entity manufacturing rigid packaging. The purchase consideration amounted to $17 million. The acquisition is part of the Company's Global Rigid Packaging Solutions reportable segment and has resulted in the recognition of acquired identifiable net assets of $16 million and goodwill of $1 million. Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The fair value estimates for the acquisition were based on market and cost valuation methods.

    Pro forma information related to the acquisition has not been presented, as the effect of the acquisition on the Company's consolidated financial statements was not material.

Fiscal Year 2025 - Acquisition of Berry Global Group, Inc.

    On November 19, 2024, Amcor plc, Aurora Spirit, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Berry Global Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Berry”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”).
    
    On April 30, 2025, the Company completed the Merger with Berry, a global leader in innovative packaging solutions based in the United States, acquiring 100 percent of their equity. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the purchase consideration of $10.4 billion, was based on the conversion of each outstanding share of Berry common stock issued (excluding shares held by Berry as treasury stock immediately prior to Merger) to 7.25 Amcor ordinary shares (and, if applicable, cash in lieu of fractional shares), fair value of converted vested Berry share-based awards at closing, fair value of converted unvested share-based awards attributable to pre-combination service, and debt required to be paid off at transaction close. In addition to the purchase consideration below, approximately $5.2 billion of debt was assumed by Amcor. The purchase price excludes transaction costs of $169 million incurred in the period ended June 30, 2025, which were expensed as incurred.

The following table summarizes the fair value of consideration exchanged:

Repayment of outstanding Berry indebtedness upon consummation of Merger$2,190 
Total consideration$10,397 
(1)    The share exchange ratio and price per share have not been adjusted for the Reverse Split.

    In connection with the Merger, outstanding Berry share-based compensation awards, including restricted stock unit (RSU) and performance share unit (PSU) awards were replaced with Amcor RSU and options awards with generally the same terms and conditions as the original awards subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement. Outstanding short-term Berry options were deemed fully vested at the close of the transaction and unvested options were converted into Amcor option awards with generally the same terms and conditions as the original awards subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement. The Merger consideration includes $310 million related to Berry awards that were settled or replaced in connection with the acquisition. Compensation expense of $27 million was recognized immediately post-acquisition and $31 million of compensation expense will be recognized over the remaining service period of up to three years from the acquisition date.

    The Merger with Berry positions the Company as a global leader in consumer packaging and dispensing solutions for healthcare, beauty and wellness, and nutrition with a comprehensive global footprint in flexible and rigid packaging solutions and greater scale in key regions of North America, Latin America, Asia Pacific and Europe, along with industry-leading research and development capabilities.
    The Merger with Berry was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805, "Business Combinations," with Amcor management determining that Amcor is the accounting acquirer in the Merger. The purchase consideration was required to be allocated to the estimated fair values of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction.

    The following table summarizes the final purchase allocation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date and the measurement period adjustments made since June 30, 2025:

    The final allocation of the purchase price resulted in $1,783 million of goodwill for the Global Flexible Packaging Solutions segment and $5,014 million of goodwill for the Global Rigid Packaging Solutions segment, which is not tax deductible. The goodwill on acquisition represents the future economic benefit expected to arise from other intangible assets acquired that do not qualify for separate recognition, including assembled workforce and non-contractual relationships, as well as expected future synergies.

    The fair value measurement of tangible and intangible assets and liabilities was based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 measurements within the fair value measurement hierarchy. Level 3 fair market values were determined using a variety of information, including estimated future cash flows, appraisals and market comparables. The fair value of customer relationships was determined using an income approach methodology, specifically the multi-period excess earnings method. Key assumptions used in estimating future cash flows included revenue growth rates, long-term growth rates, projected earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), income tax rates, discount rates, and customer attrition rates.

    The following unaudited pro forma information has been prepared as if the Merger of Berry had occurred as of July 1, 2023. The unaudited pro forma information combines the historical results of Amcor and Berry.

Years ended June 30,
($ in millions)20252024
Net sales$23,242 $23,321 
Net income attributable to Amcor plc$843 $669 

    Pro forma adjustments to income from continuing operations attributable to Amcor plc included the following:

interest expense for acquisition financing and the amortization of the fair value adjustment to debt assumed;
preliminary acquisition accounting adjustments, including amortization expense from the preliminary fair value adjustments to acquired intangible assets and purchase accounting related inventory effects;
incremental share-based compensation expense associated with the Merger;
transaction expenses associated with the Merger; and
the associated tax related impacts of adjustments.

    The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the actual results that would have occurred had the acquisition been in effect for the periods presented, nor is it intended to be a projection of future results. For example, the pro forma results do not include the expected synergies from the transactions, nor the related costs to achieve.
