ZURICH, Aug. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ —

Strong 4Q financial performance ahead of expectations with volumes returning to growth Amcor expects strong growth from the underlying business to continue in FY25 Amcor Interim CEO Peter Konieczny said: “Amcor finished fiscal 2024 strongly, as the underlying business delivered another sequential improvement in volume and earnings growth, with fourth quarter adjusted EPS up 9%, ahead of the expectations we set out in April. Volumes returned to year on year growth in the quarter as customer demand improved and our teams maintained their outstanding focus on managing costs, driving strong margin expansion. Annual adjusted free cash flow was at the top end of our guidance range and up 12% on last year. In fiscal 2025, we expect volumes and earnings will grow and adjusted free cash flow will remain strong. Importantly, combined with our historical average dividend yield, growth at the midpoint of our EPS guidance range results in total value creation in-line with our shareholder value creation model 10-15% range. We remain confident in our capital allocation framework and strategy for long term growth. We believe our underlying business and market positions are strong and we will continue to invest for organic growth, pursue acquisitions or repurchase shares and return cash to shareholders through a compelling and growing dividend.” |

Shareholder returns
Capital allocation
Amcor generates significant annual cash flow and is committed to an investment grade credit rating. We believe that the Company’s strong annual cash flow and balance sheet provide capacity to reinvest in the business for organic growth, pursue acquisitions or share repurchases and return cash to shareholders through a compelling and growing dividend.
During fiscal 2024, the Company returned approximately $750 million to shareholders through cash dividends and share repurchases.
Dividend
The Amcor Board of Directors today declared a quarterly cash dividend of 12.5 cents per share (compared with 12.25 cents per share in the same quarter last year). Combined with the last three quarterly dividends, this increases the annual dividend for fiscal 2024 to 50.0 cents per share. The quarterly dividend declared today 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 19.01 Australian cents per share, which reflects the quarterly dividend of 12.5 cents per share converted at an average AUD:USD exchange rate of 0.6574 over the five trading days ended August 13, 2024.
The ex-dividend date will be September 5, 2024, the record date will be September 6, 2024, and the payment date will be September 26, 2024.
Share repurchases
Amcor repurchased approximately 3 million shares during fiscal 2024 for a total cost of approximately $30 million.

Twelve months ended June 30, 2024:
Net sales of $13,640 million were 7% lower than last year on a reported basis, including a favorable impact of approximately 1% related to movements in foreign exchange rates, an unfavorable impact of approximately 1% related to items affecting comparability, and an unfavorable impact of 1% related to the pass through of lower raw material costs of approximately $220 million.
Net sales on a comparable constant currency basis were 6% lower than last year reflecting approximately 5% lower volumes and an unfavorable price/mix impact of approximately 1%.
Adjusted EBIT of $1,560 million was 1% lower than last year on a comparable constant currency basis, reflecting lower volumes and unfavorable impacts from price/mix, partly offset by strong cost performance.
June 2024 quarter result:
Net sales of $3,535 million were 4% lower than last year on a reported basis, including an unfavorable impact of 2% related to the pass through of lower raw material costs of approximately $70 million. Movements in foreign exchange rates had an unfavorable impact on net sales of less than 1% for the quarter.
Volumes returned to growth in the June quarter, up approximately 1% compared with the prior year which represents a sequential improvement of 5 percentage points. As expected, volumes remained soft in healthcare categories and in the North America beverage business through the June quarter, unfavorably impacting overall volumes by approximately 2%. Price/mix had an unfavorable impact of approximately 3% due to lower volumes in high value healthcare categories. On a comparable constant currency basis, net sales were 1% lower than last year.
Adjusted EBIT of $454 million was approximately 4% higher than last year on a comparable constant currency basis. Unfavorable impacts from price/mix were more than offset by higher volumes, benefits from restructuring initiatives and continued outstanding cost performance which resulted in strong earnings leverage.

Volumes returned to growth in the June quarter, up approximately 3% compared with the prior year, which is a sequential improvement of 5 percentage points. Price/mix had an unfavorable impact of approximately 4%, primarily due to lower volumes in high value healthcare categories. On a comparable constant currency basis, net sales were 1% lower than last year.
Volumes were higher than the same quarter last year across most geographies and in several end markets including home & personal care, meat, cheese and unconverted film and foil. As expected, destocking continued in healthcare categories and volumes remained soft, unfavorably impacting overall segment volumes for the quarter by approximately 2%.
Adjusted EBIT of $403 million was 5% higher than last year on a comparable constant currency basis. The impact of higher volumes, benefits from restructuring initiatives and strong cost performance was partly offset by unfavorable price/mix. Earnings leverage was strong, and adjusted EBIT margin of 15.0% was 110 basis points higher than the June quarter last year.

On a comparable constant currency basis, net sales were 6% lower, reflecting an unfavorable price/mix impact of approximately 2% and lower volumes of approximately 4%. Volume weakness largely reflects lower market and customer demand and destocking particularly through the first half of the year. The trajectory of volumes improved significantly through the second half of the year, returning to year over year growth in the June quarter.
In North America, net sales declined at mid to high single digit rates driven by lower volumes and an unfavorable price/mix impact. Volumes were higher in the condiments, snacks and cheese categories and this was more than offset by lower volumes in categories including healthcare, meat and liquid beverage.
In Europe, net sales declined at high single digit rates primarily driven by lower volumes. Volumes were lower mainly in the healthcare, snacks & confectionary, coffee and yoghurt end markets.
Across the Asian region, volumes were higher than the prior year with growth in Thailand, India and China, partly offset by lower volumes in the South East Asian healthcare business. In Latin America, net sales declined at mid single digit rates, driven by lower volumes mainly in Chile and Mexico, partly offset by growth in Brazil.
Adjusted EBIT of $1,395 million was in line with last year on a comparable constant currency basis, reflecting lower volumes and unfavorable impacts from price/mix, partly offset by benefits from restructuring initiatives and ongoing actions taken to lower costs and increase productivity. Adjusted EBIT margin of 13.5% was higher than the prior year notwithstanding weaker volumes and a 30 basis point unfavorable impact compared to the prior year related to the sale of the Russian business in December 2022.

Net sales of $849 million were 5% lower than last year on a reported basis, including an unfavorable impact of 4% related to the pass through of lower raw material costs of approximately $30 million. Movements in foreign exchange rates had a favorable impact on net sales of less than 1% for the quarter.
On a comparable constant currency basis, net sales were 2% lower than last year with volumes approximately 5% lower, partly offset by favorable price/mix benefits of approximately 3%.
In North America, overall beverage volumes improved sequentially for the second consecutive quarter. While consumer and customer demand in key categories improved sequentially, overall volumes were 8% lower as a result of continued soft demand which was expected. Hot fill beverage container volumes were 9% lower than the same quarter last year, which represents a 9 percentage point improvement compared with the March 2024 quarter.
In Latin America, volumes were 3% higher than the same quarter last year, reflecting new business wins in Brazil, Colombia and Central America, partly offset by weaker demand in Argentina. Specialty Container volumes were lower than last year.
Adjusted EBIT of $75 million was 2% higher than last year on a comparable constant currency basis, with the impact of lower volumes more than offset by favorable price/mix, benefits from restructuring initiatives and strong cost performance which drove solid earnings leverage.

This mainly reflects a combination of lower consumer and customer demand, as well as significant destocking particularly through the first half of the year.
In Latin America, volumes were 3% higher than last year, reflecting new business wins with a broad range of customers in Brazil and Colombia, partly offset by lower volumes in Argentina. Specialty Container volumes were lower than last year.
Adjusted EBIT of $259 million was 4% lower than last year on a comparable constant currency basis, reflecting lower volumes partly offset by price/mix benefits and favorable cost performance.
Net interest and income tax expense
For the year ended June 30, 2024, net interest expense of $310 million was $51 million higher than last year, reflecting higher interest rates. GAAP income tax expense was $163 million compared with $193 million last year. Adjusted tax expense for the year ended June 30, 2024 was $225 million compared with $250 million last year. Adjusted tax expense for the year ended June 30, 2024 represents an effective tax rate of 18.0%, compared with 18.5% in the prior year.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow
For the year ended June 30, 2024, adjusted free cash inflow was $952 million, at the top end of the Company’s guidance range and up $104 million, or 12% compared with the prior year.
Net debt was $6,111 million at June 30, 2024. Leverage, measured as net debt divided by adjusted trailing twelve month EBITDA, was 3.1 times and in line with our expectations.
Fiscal 2025 Guidance
For the twelve month period ending June 30, 2025, the Company expects:
Adjusted EPS of approximately 72 to 76 cents per share, which represents comparable constant currency growth of 3% to 8% (includes approximately 4% headwind related to normalization of incentive compensation payments) compared with 70.2 cents per share in fiscal 2024.
Assuming current exchange rates prevail through fiscal 2025, movements in exchange rates are not expected to have a material impact on reported EPS.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow of approximately $900 million to $1,000 million.
Amcor’s guidance contemplates a range of factors which create a degree of uncertainty and complexity when estimating future financial results. Further information can be found under ‘Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements’ in this release.

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; significant pension settlements; impairments in goodwill and equity method investments; material acquisition compensation and transaction costs such as due diligence expenses, professional and legal fees, 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 Chief Executive Officer transition; and impacts related to the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
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, and certain tax related events. 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.
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 September 5, 2024 to September 6, 2024 inclusive.
