Amcor (AMCR) Jefferies Global Industrials Conference 2026 summary

Integration and synergy progress

• Achieved $285 million in synergies in year one, surpassing the $260 million target, with a three-year goal of $650 million on track and internal ambitions to accelerate this timeline.

• Procurement and SG&A efficiencies are key drivers, with over $100 million in SG&A savings and strong procurement leverage from $13 billion in annual raw material purchases.

• Revenue synergies are ahead of plan, with $140 million in new business captured and a $280 million three-year goal, driven by cross-selling and systems-based solutions.

• Synergy capture costs are tracking well, with $160 million spent out of a planned $280 million.

• Integration has resulted in double-digit EPS growth and is expected to continue contributing through the transition period and into 2027.

Operating environment and raw materials

• Raw material prices remain volatile, especially resins, with only 4% sourced from the Middle East, minimizing direct conflict exposure.

• $280 million in price inflation was passed through to customers in the last quarter, with lag times for price adjustments reduced to as little as one month during disruptions.

• Customer relationships are managed to ensure supply continuity, with a focus on fair and timely cost pass-through.

• Supply chains have remained resilient, and the company is prepared to navigate further volatility if necessary.

Volume trends and growth outlook

• Fourth quarter saw a sequential volume improvement of 200 basis points, with broad-based growth across high-focus categories like proteins, healthcare, and personal care.

• Emerging markets such as China, India, Brazil, and Mexico have shown multiple quarters of growth.

• Guidance for the transition period is flat to modestly positive volumes, with trends through August supporting this outlook.

• 2027 is expected to deliver double-digit EPS growth, driven by synergy realization, steady demand, and low single-digit organic growth.
