ZURICH, Nov. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --

Highlights - Three Months Ended September 30, 2021

GAAP Net Income of $202 million, up 2%; GAAP earnings per share (EPS) of 13.1 cents per share, up 4%;
Adjusted EPS of 17.7 cents per share, up 12% on a comparable constant currency basis;
Adjusted EBIT of $381 million, up 7% on a comparable constant currency basis;
Increased returns to shareholders: $64 million of shares repurchased and quarterly dividend increased to 12.0 cents per share; and
Fiscal 2022 outlook reaffirmed. Adjusted EPS growth of 7-11% on a comparable constant currency basis and adjusted Free Cash Flow of $1.1-$1.2 billion.

Solid first quarter delivered in a challenging external environment

Amcor's CEO Mr. Ron Delia said: "Amcor delivered a solid first quarter result in line with our expectations as our teams executed well in an environment of broad supply chain disruptions."

"While sales were tempered in some parts of the business by raw material shortages, we prioritized as much as possible security of supply for our customers, recovery of higher input costs and sales mix management. We held margins flat in our Flexibles segment and navigated through a particularly dynamic and complex environment in the Rigid Packaging business to deliver another quarter of double-digit EPS growth. As a result, we are confident in our ability to meet our earnings growth and cash flow expectations and reaffirm guidance for the full 2022 fiscal year."

"Regardless of short-term dynamics, we remain laser-focused on executing our strategy for long-term value creation. Over the past several years, we have established a stronger foundation for growth by strengthening our industry-leading capabilities, driving further scale advantages and leadership in every region and increasing our exposure to high value end markets. Today, Amcor is better positioned strategically than ever before, and we are confident this will enable stronger growth and sustainable value creation for all stakeholders into the future."

Net sales for the Amcor Group increased by 10% on a reported basis, with 9% driven by price increases of approximately $285 million related to the pass through of higher raw material costs. On a comparable constant currency basis, net sales were 1% higher than the same period last year.

Overall volumes for the Amcor Group were in line with the same period last year. Price/mix had a favorable impact on net sales of 1%, which reflects growth across a range of high value end markets and a continued focus on optimizing mix.

Adjusted EBIT of $381 million was 7% higher than last year on a comparable constant currency basis.

(1) Comparable constant currency ∆% for Net sales excludes a 9% favorable impact from the pass through of raw material costs, a 1% unfavorable impact from items affecting comparability and a 1% favorable currency impact.

Net sales for the Flexibles segment grew 10% on a reported basis, with 9% driven by price increases of approximately $210 million related to the pass through of higher raw material costs.

On a comparable constant currency basis, net sales were 1% higher than the prior period. Favorable price/mix of approximately 2% reflects a continued focus on the long-term strategy of managing mix and driving growth in higher value segments. Volumes were slightly lower as raw material shortages had a dampening effect on growth in some categories.

In North America, volume growth in the low single digit range was mainly driven by strength in the medical, condiments, liquid beverage, and confectionary end markets. This was partly offset by lower cheese, coffee and home and personal care volumes.

In Europe, volumes were lower than in the same period last year with higher volumes in pet food, medical, premium coffee and confectionary end markets offset by lower film and foil rollstock, snack food and pharmaceutical volumes.

Volumes continued to grow at mid single digit rates across the Asian emerging markets, with double digit growth in both China and India, partly offset by lower volumes in South East Asia. Volumes in Latin America were also lower than the prior period.

Adjusted EBIT of $339 million was 8% higher than in the prior period on a comparable constant currency basis reflecting favorable mix and strong cost performance.

The business maintained adjusted EBIT margins at 12.9% despite the time lag between the impact of higher raw material costs and related pricing actions.

*Rigid Packaging*					Comparable constant currency ∆%

Adjusted EBIT	72	62	(14)	%	(15)	%
Adjusted EBIT / Sales %	10.3	7.9

(1) Comparable constant currency ∆% for Net sales excludes an 11% favorable impact from the pass through of raw material costs and a 1% favorable currency impact.

Net sales for the Rigid Packaging segment grew by 13% on a reported basis, with 11% driven by price increases of approximately $75 million related to the pass through of higher raw material costs.

On a comparable constant currency basis, net sales were 1% higher than the prior period. Overall volumes were 1% higher than the prior period and price/mix had no material impact on net sales.

In North America, beverage volumes were marginally ahead of the prior year with hot fill container volumes down 1% against a strong comparative period. Specialty container volumes were lower than the prior year which benefited from strong volumes in the home and personal care category.

In Latin America, volumes grew at double digit rates with higher volumes in Argentina, Brazil and Colombia.

Adjusted EBIT of $62 million was adversely impacted by unprecedented industry wide supply chain complexity and disruptions in North America. Demand remained elevated and increasingly volatile in the beverage segment while the business continued to operate at full capacity and with historically low levels of inventory. Combined with further inflation and shortages for key raw materials, the business experienced operating inefficiencies, higher costs and constrained sales. This was partly offset by higher earnings in Latin America.

We anticipate the industry wide supply chain challenges currently experienced in North America will improve through the second half of fiscal 2022.

Net interest and income tax expense

Net interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $35 million and was in line with the same period last year. Tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2021 (excluding amounts related to non-GAAP adjustments) was $73 million and was in line with the same period last year. Adjusted tax expense represents an effective tax rate of 21.2% in the current period (22.3% in the same period last year).

Free Cash Flow

Adjusted free cash outflow was $242 million and compares with an outflow of $190 million last year. The higher use of cash was mainly driven by the timing impact of higher raw material costs on working capital.

Net debt was $5,959 million at September 30, 2021. Leverage, measured as net debt divided by adjusted trailing twelve month EBITDA, was 2.9 times, in line with Amcor's expectations given the seasonality of cash flows.

Fiscal 2022 guidance

Consistent with guidance provided in August 2021, for the twelve month period ending June 30, 2022, the Company expects:

Adjusted EPS growth of approximately 7% to 11% on a comparable constant currency basis, or approximately 79.0 to 81.0 cents per share on a reported basis assuming current exchange rates prevail through fiscal 2022.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow of approximately $1.1 to $1.2 billion.
Approximately $400 million of cash to be allocated towards share repurchases.

Amcor's guidance contemplates a range of factors which create a higher degree of uncertainty and additional complexity when estimating future financial results. Further information can be found under 'Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements' in this release.

Actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of risks and uncertainties. None of Amcor or any of its respective directors, executive officers or advisors provide any representation, assurance or guarantee that the occurrence of the events expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements will actually occur.

You can obtain copies of Amcor's filings with the SEC for free at the SEC's website (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 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. 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 the restructuring plan;
material sales and earnings from disposed or ceased operations and any associated profit or loss on sale of businesses or subsidiaries;
consummated and identifiable divestitures agreed to with certain regulatory agencies as a condition of approval for Amcor's acquisition of Bemis;
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;
significant property impairments, net of insurance recovery;
payments or settlements related to legal claims; and
impacts from hyperinflation accounting.

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 acquired, 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 November 23, 2021 to November 24, 2021, inclusive.
