CEO Commentary and Calendar Year Transition

Amcor CEO Peter Konieczny stated that the company delivered strong operating performance in the fourth quarter despite a challenging macro environment, driving broad-based volume growth while effectively managing unprecedented input cost inflation.

He added that synergy realisation came in ahead of plan, with performance in non-core businesses improving substantially. 

Looking ahead, Konieczny noted the company is encouraged by the momentum across the business and the greater potential for growth following the transformative Berry acquisition.

Amcor is changing its financial reporting calendar to match the calendar year ending 31 December, with a six-month transition period from 1 July 2026 to 31 December 2026, followed by its first full 12-month reporting cycle based on the calendar year from January 2027.
