Presentation of prior year financial information

On 11 June 2019,the all-stock acquisition of Bemis Company,Inc. was completed. Amcor was determined to be the acquirer for accounting purposes and as a result,financial information prepared under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for periods prior to the completion date reflect the historical financial information for the legacy Amcor business only.

Financial information included in this release and described as "Combined" represents the addition of Amcor and Bemis individual results for the quarter ended 30 September 2018,after adjusting for the required divestiture of certain flexible plants in Europe and the United States. See "Basis of Preparation of Supplemental Unaudited Combined Financial Statements" in this release.

Bemis acquisition update

Integration of the Bemis business is progressing in line with expectations and resulted in approximately $10 million (pre-tax) of cost synergies in the first quarter.We remain on track to achieve the previously announced synergy benefits of $180 million (pre-tax) by the end of the 2022 fiscal year,with $65 million of those benefits expected in the 2020 fiscal year.

Cash restructuring and integration costs of approximately $18 million were incurred in the first quarter. We continue to expect total cash integration costs of $150 million,with approximately $100 million expected to be incurred in the 2020 fiscal year.

Capital returns to shareholders

$500 million on-market share buy-back

Amcor repurchased 5.8 million shares in the first quarter as we commenced the $500 million share buy-back announced in August of 2019.The company expects to complete the buy-back by the end of the 2020 fiscal year.

Dividend

The Amcor Board of Directors today declared a quarterly cash dividend of 11.5 US cents per share.The dividend 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 16.7 Australian cents which reflects the quarterly dividend of 11.5 US cents per share converted at an average AUD:USD exchange rate of 0.687 over the five trading days ended 1 November 2019.

The ex-dividend date will be 27 November 2019,the record date will be 28 November 2019 and the payment date will be 17 December 2019.Amcor has received a waiver from the ASX's settlement operating rules,which will allow Amcor to defer processing conversions between its ordinary share and CDI registers from 27 November 2019 to 28 November 2019 inclusive.

Net sales were broadly in line with the prior period's combined sales in constant currency terms. This includes higher sales and volumes across the Flexibles North America and Flexibles Europe,Middle East and Africa businesses,offset by lower sales and volumes in Flexibles Latin America and customer destocking in the Specialty Cartons business in Europe.

Adjusted EBIT of $290.5 million was 8.5% higher than last year's combined adjusted EBIT in constant currency terms.Growth was driven by approximately $5 million of synergy benefits from the Bemis acquisition,a combination of strong operating cost performance across all businesses and year-over-year benefits from the normal time lag in recovering higher raw material costs.

General corporate expenses of $28.2 million include $5 million of synergy benefits related to the Bemis acquisition.

Net interest and income tax expense

Net interest expense for the three months ended 30 September 2019 was $53.0 million. This includes benefits from lower borrowing costs and lower average debt levels and was in line with Amcor's expectations for the quarter.

GAAP income tax expense for the three months ended 30 September 2019 was $21.8 million. Excluding amounts related to non-GAAP adjustments,adjusted income tax expense for the three months ended 30 September 2019 was $62.0 millionrepresenting an effective tax rate of 22.0%.

Cash flow and balance sheet

Adjusted cash outflow after dividends was $143.4 million and was in line with Amcor's expectations for the quarter.

Net debt was $5,292 million at 30 September 2019.The decrease of $209 million compared with net debt at 30 June 2019 was mainly driven by the receipt of proceeds from the divestment of three legacy Bemis medical packaging plants in the United Kingdom and Ireland during the quarter.

Fiscal year 2020 outlook

Consistent with guidance provided in August 2019,the company continues to expect:

Adjusted constant currency EPS growth of approximately 5% to 10% compared with adjusted combined EPS of 58.2 US cents per share in the 2019 fiscal year.

- Assuming fiscal 2019 average exchange rates,this implies a constant currency EPS range of 61.0 to 64.0 US cents per share.

- This guidance range is inclusive of pre-tax synergy benefits associated with the Bemis acquisition of $65 million.

Cash flow after dividends of between $300 to $400 million,which is before deducting approximately $100 million of cash integration costs.

Also consistent with additional guidance provided for fiscal 2020,the company continues to expect:

- General corporate expenses of $160 to $170 million in constant currency terms;

- Net interest costs of $230 to $250 million in constant currency terms; and

- Adjusted effective tax rate of 21% to 23%.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This communication contains certain statements that are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933,as amended (the "Securities Act"),and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,as amended. Amcor plc ("Amcor") has identified some of these forward-looking statements with words like "believe," "may," "could," "would," "might," "possible," "will," "should," "expect," "intend," "plan," "anticipate," "estimate," "potential," "outlook" or "continue," the negative of these words,other terms of similar meaning or the use of future dates. Such statements are based on the current expectations of the management of Amcor,as applicable,are qualified by the inherent risks and uncertainties surrounding future expectations generally,and 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. Risks and uncertainties that could cause results and projections made herein to differ from expectations include,but are not limited to: failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition of Bemis Company,Inc. ("Bemis"),and the cost synergies related thereto; failure to successfully integrate Bemis' business and operations in the expected time frame or at all; integration costs related to the acquisition of Bemis; the loss of key customers or a reduction in production requirements of key customers; fluctuations in consumer demand patterns; significant competition in the industires and regions in which Amcor operates; Amcor's inability to expand its business; the potential loss of intellectual property rights; price fluctuations or shortages in the availability of raw materials,energy and other inputs; disruptions to production and supply; costs and liabilities related to current and future environmental,health and safety regulations; the possibility of labor disputes; uncertainties related to future dividend payments and share buy-backs; fluctuations in our credit ratings; other risks related to the business,including the effects of industry,economic or political conditions,legal and regulatory proceedings,interest rates,exchange rates and international operations; disruptions to the financial or capital markets; and other risks and uncertainties identified from time to time in Amcor's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"),including without limitation,those described under Item 1A. "Risk Factors" of Amcor's annual report on Form 10-K and in Amcor's quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. 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.

On-market share buy-back

Under the buy-back,any repurchases will be effected in accordance with Amcor plc's general authority to repurchase shares and CDIs established and in accordance with all relevant legal and regulatory requirements.The company may not complete the buy-back on the estimated timeline,is not obliged to make any repurchases and the buy-back may be suspended for periods or discontinued at any time.

Amcor and Bemis combination

On 11 June 2019,Inc. was completed under the terms of the agreement announced on 6 August 2018. Pursuant to that agreement,Bemis shareholders received 5.1 Amcor shares for each Bemis share held and Amcor Limited shareholders received one Australian Securities Exchange listed CHESS Depositary Instrument for each share held. As a result of these share exchanges,the assets of both Amcor Limited and Bemis were merged into Amcor,and Amcor was determined to be the acquirer for accounting purposes. As a result,the historical financial statements of Amcor,prepared under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"),for the periods prior to the combination are considered to be the historical financial statements of Amcor Limited.

Basis of Preparation of Supplemental Unaudited Combined Financial Information

In order to provide the most meaningful comparison of results of operations and results by reporting segment,the Company has included Supplemental Unaudited Combined Financial Information,which combines Amcor and Bemis historical operating results and has been prepared to illustrate the effects of the combination,assuming the combination had been consummated on 1 July 2018. The Supplemental Unaudited Combined Financial Information includes adjustments for (1) accounting policy alignment,(2) elimination of the effect of events that are directly attributable to the combination (e.g.,one-time transaction costs),(3) elimination of the effect of consummated and identifiable divestitures agreed to with certain regulatory agencies as a condition of approval for the transaction,and (4) items which management considers are not representative of ongoing operations. The Supplemental Unaudited Combined Financial Information does not include the preliminary purchase accounting impact,which has not been finalised at the date of the release and does not reflect any cost or growth synergies that Amcor may achieve as a result of the transaction,future costs to combine the operations of Amcor and Bemis or the costs necessary to achieve any cost or growth synergies. The Supplemental Unaudited Combined Financial Information has been presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what Amcor's results of operations actually would have been had the combination been completed as of 1 July 2018,nor is it indicative of the future operating results of Amcor. The Supplemental Unaudited Combined Financial Information should be read in conjunction with the separate historical financial statements and accompanying notes contained in each of the Amcor and Bemis periodic reports,as available. For avoidance of doubt,the Supplemental Unaudited Combined Financial Information is not intended to be,and was not,prepared on a basis consistent with the unaudited condensed combined financial information in Amcor's Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed March 25,2019 with the SEC (the "S-4 Pro Forma Statements"),which provides the pro forma financial information required by Article 11 of Regulation S-X. For instance,the Supplemental Unaudited Combined Financial Information does notgive effect to the combination under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standard Codification Topic 805,Business Combinations("ASC Topic 805"),with Amcor treated as the legal and accounting acquirer. The Supplemental Unaudited Combined Financial Information has notbeen adjusted to give effect to pro forma events that are (1)directly attributable to the combination,(2)factually supportable,or (3)expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results of Amcor and Bemis. More specifically,other than excluding Amcor's divested plants and one-time transaction costs,the Supplemental Unaudited Combined Financial Information does not reflect the types of pro forma adjustments set forth in S-4 Pro Forma Statements. Consequently,the Supplemental Unaudited Combined Financial Information is intentionally different from,but does not supersede,the pro forma financial information set forth in S-4 Pro Forma Statements.

Presentation of non-GAAP financial information

Included in this announcement 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,adjusted cash flow after dividends,net debt and the Supplemental Unaudited Combined Financial Information including adjusted earnings before interest,tax,amortisation and depreciation,adjusted earnings before interest and tax,and adjusted earnings per share and any ratios related thereto. 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;

earnings from discontinued operations and any associated profit 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 combinations;

impact of economic net investment hedging activities not qualifying for hedge accounting;

payments or settlements related to legal claims; and

impacts from hyperinflation accounting.

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 also evaluates performance on a constant currency basis,which measures financial results assuming constant foreign currency exchange rates used for translation based on the rates in effect for the comparable prior-year period. In order to compute 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,those amounts by the prior-year average foreign exchange rates. 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 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.
