In the first nine months of FY23, AMP delivered total revenue of $3.68bn and gross profit before exceptional items of $433m.

AMP CEO Oliver Graham said: “We delivered a robust performance in the quarter to achieve our guidance despite a softening of demand conditions in Europe. Americas performance was slightly ahead of our expectation with North America benefitting from strong shipment growth, while Brazil was broadly in line.

“The deterioration in demand during the quarter negatively impacted European performance against our expectations, which we anticipate will persist into Q4.

“Our adjusted operating cashflow generation is significantly improved versus the prior year and underpins our conviction in a strong full-year liquidity outturn. Our actions to prudently balance our capacity and optimise our network will also drive future earnings improvement.”
