Amcor CEO Peter Konieczny said: “We delivered strong operating performance in the fourth quarter despite a challenging macro environment. We drove broad-based volume growth, while effectively managing unprecedented input cost inflation. Synergy realisation came in ahead of plan, while performance in our non-core businesses improved substantially.
“Looking ahead, we are encouraged by the momentum we see across the business and the greater potential for growth and continued synergy capture following the transformative acquisition of Berry. As we complete the integration and begin to realise our potential as a global leader in consumer packaging, we remain confident in delivering on our medium and long-term commitments.”

From January 2027, the company will begin its first full 12-month reporting cycle based on the calendar year.
