NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. General information
Ardagh Metal Packaging S.A. (the “Company” or “AMPSA”) was incorporated in Luxembourg on January 20, 2021. The Company’s registered office is 56, rue Charles Martel, L-2134 Luxembourg, Luxembourg.
Approximately 76% of the issued ordinary shares and 100% of the issued preferred shares of the Company are indirectly held by Ardagh Group S.A., a company registered in Luxembourg (together with its subsidiaries other than AMPSA and its subsidiaries, the “Ardagh Group”). The Ardagh Group capital structure is separate and distinct from AMPSA’s capital structure.
On July 28, 2025, the Company announced that Ardagh Group S.A. reported that it had entered into an agreement for a comprehensive recapitalization transaction (the “Agreed Recapitalization Transaction”) with its largest financial stakeholders, including, among others, its controlling shareholder. The Agreed Recapitalization Transaction is expected to complete in October 2025 and is subject to receipt of required regulatory approvals and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.
Upon completion of the Agreed Recapitalization Transaction, assuming full participation, holders of AGSA’s Senior Unsecured Notes (the “SUNs”) will become the majority shareholders of AGSA, receiving directly or indirectly 92.5% of the equity in AGSA, and holders of the Senior Secured Toggle notes due 2027 issued by ARD Finance S.A. (the “PIK Notes”) will hold directly or indirectly 7.5% of the equity in AGSA.
The Agreed Recapitalization Transaction has no impact on the listing of AMPSA’s shares or the capital structure of AMPSA or its subsidiaries. Under the terms of the Agreed Recapitalization Transaction, the Company remains a subsidiary of AGSA.
The Company is an independent, pure-play metal beverage can company, whose ordinary shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “AMBP.” The Company and its subsidiaries (together, the “Group”) are a leading supplier of metal beverage cans globally, with a particular focus on the Americas and Europe. The Group supplies sustainable and infinitely recyclable metal packaging to a diversified customer base of leading global, regional and national beverage producers. AMP operates 23 production facilities in Europe and the Americas and employs approximately 6,300 people.
The Group does not have any operations within Russia or Ukraine and continues to monitor and comply with the various sanctions administered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, the European Union, the United Kingdom and the United Nations Security Committee that have been imposed on the Russian government and certain Russian entities and individuals.
These unaudited consolidated interim financial statements reflect the consolidation of the legal entities forming the Group for the periods presented.
The accounting policies that have been applied to the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements are described in note 3.
2. Statement of directors’ approval
The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements were approved for issue by the Board of Directors of AMPSA (the “Board”) on October 21, 2025.
3. Summary of accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements of the Group for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”. The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was prepared in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards and related interpretations as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).
The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements are presented in U.S. dollar rounded to the nearest million. The functional currency of the Company is euro.
Income tax in interim periods is accrued using the effective tax rate expected to be applied to annual earnings.
The accounting policies, presentation and methods of computation followed in the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those applied in the Group’s latest Annual Report.
Going concern
At the date that the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements were approved for issue by the Board, the Board has formed the judgment that there is a reasonable expectation that the Group will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, these consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, the Board has taken into account all available information about the period extending to at least September 30, 2026.
In arriving at its conclusion, the Board has performed a comprehensive assessment of all available information and internal and external factors. This includes the Group’s continuing favorable trading performance for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the anticipated trading performance for the period extending to at least September 30, 2026, management plans and strategic responses to current and anticipated financial and operational challenges, current and anticipated levels of cash and net debt, the availability and terms of the Group’s committed borrowing facilities, the evolving trade and tariff environment, economic and exchange rate volatility linked to political and geopolitical risks. The Board has also evaluated the information available in respect of the Agreed Recapitalization Transaction (see note 1), and the separate and distinct AMPSA capital structure from that of the Ardagh Group in respect of its long-term financing arrangements which are highly favorable when compared to current market re-financing conditions available to the Group (see note 10). As a result of the aforementioned factors being considered, including the Group’s continuing favorable trading performance, it is the Board’s judgment that it is appropriate to prepare the consolidated financial statements using the going concern basis.
Recent changes in accounting pronouncements
The impact of new standards, amendments to existing standards and interpretations issued and effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2025 have been assessed by the Board. None of these new standards or amendments to existing standards effective January 1, 2025 have had or are expected to have a material impact for the Group.
The Board’s assessment of the impact of new standards on the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements, which are not yet effective and which have not been early adopted by the Group, including IFRS 18 ‘Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements’ and Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 – Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity, on the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements is on-going.
4. Segment analysis
The Group’s two operating and reportable segments, Europe and Americas, reflect the basis on which the Group’s performance is reviewed by management and presented to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). The CODM has been identified as being the Board.
Performance of the Group is assessed based on Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is the profit for the period before income tax charge, net finance expense, depreciation and amortization and exceptional operating items. Sales contracts generally provide for the pass through of metal and energy price fluctuations as well as a mechanism for the recovery of other input cost inflation, while certain contracts have tolling arrangements whereby customers arrange for the procurement of metal themselves. Consequently, the CODM evaluates the financial effects of the business activities of the reportable segments based on Adjusted EBITDA, which includes the net impact of the pass through pricing model operated by the business.
Segmental revenues are derived from sales to external customers. Inter-segmental revenue is not material.

One customer accounted for greater than 10% of total Group revenue across both reportable segments in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 (2024: one).
Within each reportable segment our respective packaging containers have similar production processes and classes of customers. Further, they have similar economic characteristics, as evidenced by similar profit margins, similar
degrees of risk and similar opportunities for growth. Based on the foregoing, we do not consider that they constitute separate product lines and, therefore, additional disclosures relating to product lines are not necessary.

Impairment test for goodwill
Goodwill is not subject to amortization and is tested annually for impairment following the approval of the annual budget (normally at the end of the financial year), or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment.
Management has considered whether any impairment indicators existed at the reporting date, and has concluded that the carrying amount of the goodwill is fully recoverable as at September 30, 2025.

The fair value of the Group’s total borrowings, excluding lease obligations at September 30, 2025 is $3,566 million (December 31, 2024: $3,215 million).
A number of the Group’s borrowing agreements contain certain covenants that restrict the Group’s flexibility in areas such as the incurrence of additional indebtedness (primarily maximum secured borrowings to Adjusted EBITDA and a minimum Adjusted EBITDA to interest expense), payment of dividends and incurrence of liens.
The Global Asset Based Loan Facility is subject to a fixed charge coverage ratio covenant if 90% or more of the facility is drawn. The facility also includes cash dominion, representations, warranties, events of default and other covenants that are of a nature customary for such facilities.

Earnout Shares and Private and Public Warrants
Please refer to note 12 for further details about the recognition and measurement of the Earnout Shares as well as the Private and Public Warrants.
The decrease in lease obligations from $374 million at December 31, 2024 to $369 million at September 30, 2025, primarily reflects $83 million of principal repayments and disposals, partly offset by $78 million of new lease liabilities and foreign currency movements in the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
At September 30, 2025, the Group had cash drawings of $25 million (December 31, 2024: $nil) on the Global Asset Based Loan Facility, which has a maximum cash capacity of $351 million when sufficient working capital is
available to fully collateralize the facility. Working capital collateralization limited the available borrowing base to $335 million at September 30, 2025.
The Group’s Bradesco Facility expired on September 30, 2025, in accordance with the contractual terms, having remained undrawn at that date.
Fair value methodology
There has been no change to the fair value hierarchies for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments.
Fair values are calculated as follows:
| (i) | Senior Secured Green and Senior Green Notes – the fair value of debt securities in issue is based on valuation techniques in which all significant inputs are based on observable market data and represent Level 2 inputs. |
| (ii) | Global Asset Based Loan Facility, Senior Secured Term Loan and Other borrowings – the fair values of the borrowings in issue are based on valuation techniques in which all significant inputs are based on observable market data and represent Level 2 inputs. |
| (iii) | Cross currency interest rate swaps (“CCIRS”) – the fair value of the CCIRS are based on quoted market prices and represent Level 2 inputs. |
| (iv) | Commodity and foreign exchange derivatives – the fair value of these derivatives are based on quoted market prices and represent Level 2 inputs. |
| (v) | Earnout Shares, Private and Public Warrants – the fair values of the Earnout Shares and Private Warrants are based on valuation techniques using an unobservable volatility assumption which represents Level 3 inputs, whereas the fair value of the Public Warrants is based on an observable market price and represents a Level 1 input. |
| (vi) | Virtual power purchase agreement – the fair value of the embedded derivative (floor price) in the virtual power purchase agreement is based on a valuation technique using an unobservable volatility assumption which represents a Level 3 input. |
Cross currency interest rate swaps
The Group hedges certain of its borrowing and interest payable thereon using CCIRS, with a net current liability position at September 30, 2025 of $37 million (December 31, 2024: $13 million).
Net investment hedges in foreign operations
The Group has designated $350 million (2024: $350 million) of its 6.000% Senior Secured Green Notes due 2027 as a net investment hedge. A gain of $41 million (2024: gain of $4 million) was recognized in relation to this hedge in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Forward foreign exchange contracts
The Group operates in a number of currencies and, accordingly, hedges a portion of its currency transaction risk. Certain forward contracts are designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes.
The fair values are based on Level 2 valuation techniques and observable inputs including the contract prices. The fair value of these contracts when initiated is $nil; no premium is paid or received.
Virtual Power Purchase Agreement
As part of our sustainability strategy to achieve our climate targets, the Group entered into a virtual power purchase agreement (“vPPA”) in July 2024. The renewable energy generation facility underlying the agreement is managed by the operator. The Group has no rights of determination or control over the use of the facilities. The benefit accruing from the virtual power purchase agreement is the Group receives certificates as proof of origin of electricity from renewable energies, and in return pays a quarterly financial flow to the developer if the respective spot electricity price falls below an agreed floor price.
The valuation applied a Black Scholes model, using a key data input for the risk-free rate of 2.1% (December 31, 2024: 2.1%), with an estimated volatility of 31% (December 31, 2024: 31%). The estimated fair market value at September 30, 2025 was a liability of $2 million (December 31, 2024: asset of $2 million), which has been reflected within non-current derivative financial instruments, representing the value of the certificates to be received by the Group and the option value of the agreed floor price. An increase or decrease in volatility of 5% would not result in a material change to the fair market value as at September 30, 2025.
11. Employee benefit assets and obligations
Employee benefit assets and obligations at September 30, 2025 have been reviewed in respect of the latest discount rates, inflation rates and asset valuations. Net re-measurement gains of $1 million and $9 million have been recognized in the Consolidated Interim Statement of Comprehensive Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 respectively (2024: loss of $10 million and $1 million).
The re-measurement gain recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2025 consisted of a decrease in the obligations of $1 million (2024: increase of $13 million), with a net nil movement in the asset valuations (2024: increase of $3 million).
The re-measurement gain recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 consisted of a decrease in the obligations of $8 million (2024: decrease of $1 million) and an increase in the asset valuations of $1 million (2024: decrease of $2 million).

Other liabilities
Earnout shares
The Ardagh Group has a contingent right to receive up to 60.73 million additional shares in the Company (the “Earnout Shares”). The Earnout Shares are issuable by AMPSA to the Ardagh Group subject to attainment of certain share price hurdles, with equal amounts of shares at $13, $15, $16.50, $18, and $19.50, respectively, over a five-year period ending on January 31, 2027. In accordance with IAS 32 “Financial Instruments: Presentation”, the arrangement has been assessed to determine whether the Earnout Shares represent a liability or an equity instrument. As the arrangement may result in AMPSA issuing a variable number of shares in the future, albeit capped at a total of 60.73 million shares, the
Earnout Shares have, in accordance with the requirements of IAS 32, been recognized as a financial liability measured at fair value in the consolidated interim financial statements. A valuation assessment was performed for the purpose of determining the financial liability using a Monte Carlo simulation using key data inputs for: share price hurdles; risk-free rate 4% (December 31, 2024: risk-free rate 4%); and traded closing AMP share price, with estimates of volatility 53% (December 31, 2024: volatility 59%) and dividend yield. The estimated valuations of the liability at September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, were $7 million and $10 million, respectively. Changes in the fair market valuation of the Earnout Shares of $3 million have been reflected as exceptional finance income within net finance expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 (September 30, 2024: $12 million). Any increase or decrease in volatility of 5% would result in an increase or decrease in the liability as at September 30, 2025, of approximately $4 million (December 31, 2024: $4 million).
Warrants
AMP warrants are exercisable for the purchase of ordinary shares in AMPSA at an exercise price of $11.50 over a five-year period. In accordance with IAS 32, those warrants have been recognized as a financial liability measured at fair value in the consolidated interim financial statements. For certain warrants issued to the former sponsors of Gores Holdings V, Inc. (“Private Warrants”) a valuation was performed for the purpose of determining the financial liability. The valuation applied a Black Scholes model, using a key data input for the risk-free rate 4% (December 31, 2024: risk-free rate 4%), with estimates for volatility 53% (December 31, 2024: volatility 59%) and dividend yield. All other outstanding warrants (“Public Warrants”) were valued using the traded closing prices of the AMP warrants. The estimated valuations of the liability at September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, were $nil and $1 million, respectively. Changes in the valuation of the Private and Public Warrants of $1 million have been reflected as exceptional finance income within net finance expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 (September 30, 2024: $1 million). Any increase or decrease in volatility of 5% would not result in a significant change in the fair value of the Private Warrants at September 30, 2025 (December 31, 2024: $nil).
Put and call arrangements
In conjunction with the NOMOQ acquisition completed in February 2023, the Group has entered into put and call option arrangements for the acquisition of the outstanding non-controlling interest (“NCI”), part of which are treated as a compensation arrangement for accounting purposes, and could result in future payments to the holders of such NCI, depending on the future performance of NOMOQ. The Group has recognized the fair value of the obligation at September 30, 2025 of $11 million (December 31, 2024: $7 million) within other liabilities and provisions.

Environmental issues
The Group is regulated under various national and local environmental, occupational health and safety and other governmental laws and regulations relating to:
| ● | the operation of installations for manufacturing of metal packaging and surface treatment using solvents; |
| ● | the generation, storage, handling, use and transportation of hazardous materials; |
| ● | the emission of substances and physical agents into the environment; |
| ● | the discharge of waste water and disposal of waste; |
| ● | the remediation of contamination; |
| ● | the design, characteristics, collection and recycling of its packaging products; and |
| ● | the manufacturing and servicing of machinery and equipment for the metal packaging industry. |
The Group believes, based on current information, that it is in substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations and permit requirements. It does not believe it will be required, under existing or anticipated future environmental laws and regulations, to expend amounts, over and above the amounts accrued, which will have a material effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations or cash flows. In addition, no material proceedings against the Group arising under environmental laws are pending. Finally, the Group believes that the potential impact of climate change, including permit compliance, property damage and business disruption, on the Group has not resulted in a contingent obligation at September 30, 2025.
The Group is involved in certain legal proceedings arising in the normal course of its business. The Group believes that none of these proceedings, either individually or in aggregate, are expected to have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
17. Seasonality of operations
The Group’s revenue and cash flows are both subject to seasonal fluctuations, with the Group generally building inventories in anticipation of these seasonal demands resulting in working capital requirements typically being the greatest at the end of the first quarter of the year.
The demand for our metal beverage products is strongest during spells of warm weather and therefore demand typically peaks during the summer months, as well as in the period leading up to holidays in December.
The Group manages the seasonality of working capital principally by supplementing operating cash flows with drawings under our Global Asset Based Loan Facility.
18. Events after the reporting period

On October 21, 2025, the Board approved an interim cash dividend on the annual 9% dividend of the preferred shares. The interim cash dividend will be paid on November 13, 2025.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read together with, and is qualified in its entirety by, reference to the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, including the related notes thereto. As used in this section, the “Group” refers to Ardagh Metal Packaging S.A. and its subsidiaries.
Some of the measures used in this report are not measurements of financial performance under IFRS Accounting Standards and should not be considered an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of liquidity or an alternative to operating profit or profit for the period as indicators of our operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards.
The main factors affecting the results of the Group’s operations are: (i) global economic trends, end-consumer demand for our products and production capacity of our production facilities; (ii) prices of energy and raw materials used in our business, primarily aluminum and coatings, which can be impacted by new, expanded or retaliatory tariffs or new trade agreements, and our ability to pass through these and other cost increases to our customers, through contractual pass through mechanisms under multi-year contracts, or through renegotiation in the case of short-term contracts; (iii) investment in capacity expansion and operating cost reductions; (iv) acquisitions; and (v) foreign exchange rate fluctuations and currency translation risks arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the euro, U.S. dollar, British pound, Polish zloty and Brazilian real.
We generate our revenue from supplying metal can packaging to the beverage end-use category. Revenue is primarily dependent on sales volumes and sales prices. While we currently believe the recently implemented and additional proposed changes to tariffs are likely to have a minimal impact on the results of the Group’s operations, management continues to closely monitor the evolving environment and the potential impact on the Group.
Sales volumes are influenced by a number of factors, including factors driving customer demand, seasonality and the capacity of our metal beverage packaging plants. Demand for our metal beverage cans may be influenced by trends in the consumption of beverages, industry trends in packaging, including customer marketing and pricing decisions, and the impact of environmental regulations and shifts in consumer sentiment towards a greater awareness of sustainability. The demand for our beverage products is strongest during spells of warm weather and therefore demand typically, based on historical trends, peaks during the summer months, as well as in the period leading up to the holidays in December. Accordingly, we generally build inventories in the first and fourth quarters in anticipation of the seasonal demands in our beverage business.
Our Adjusted EBITDA is based on revenue derived from selling our metal beverage cans and is affected by a number of factors, including cost of sales, and sales, marketing and administrative expenses. The elements of our cost of sales include (i) variable costs, such as energy, raw materials (including the cost of aluminum), packaging materials, decoration and freight and other distribution costs, and (ii) fixed costs, such as labor and other plant-related costs including depreciation and maintenance. Sales contracts generally provide for the pass through of metal and energy price fluctuations as well as a mechanism for the recovery of other input cost inflation. Our variable costs have typically constituted approximately 75% and fixed costs approximately 25% of the total cost of sales for our business.

Revenue
Revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2025 increased by $115 million, or 9% to $1,428 million, from $1,313 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in revenue is primarily driven by the pass through of higher input costs to customers, favorable foreign currency translation effects and favorable volume/mix effects.
Cost of sales
Cost of sales in the three months ended September 30, 2025 increased by $108 million, or 10%, to $1,234 million, compared with $1,126 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024. Pre-exceptional cost of sales increased by $109 million, or 10% from the prior period. The increase in pre-exceptional cost of sales is principally due to increased revenue as noted above and corresponding input costs. Further analysis of the movements in exceptional items is set out in the “Supplemental Management’s Discussion and Analysis” section.
Gross profit
Gross profit in the three months ended September 30, 2025 increased by $7 million, or 4%, to $194 million, compared with $187 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Excluding exceptional cost of sales, gross profit percentage in the three months ended September 30, 2025 decreased by 70 basis points to 13.7% compared with 14.4% in the three months ended September 30, 2024, as a result of the items outlined above in revenue and cost of sales. Further analysis of the movements in exceptional items is set out in the “Supplemental Management’s Discussion and Analysis” section.
Sales, general and administration expenses
Sales, general and administration expenses in the three months ended September 30, 2025 increased by $2 million, or 3%, to $73 million, compared with $71 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in sales, general and administration expenses was primarily due to higher labor costs, partly offset by other cost saving initiatives. Excluding exceptional items, sales, general and administration expenses increased by $1 million to $71 million, compared
with $70 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024. Further analysis of the movements in exceptional items is set out in the “Supplemental Management’s Discussion and Analysis” section.
Intangible amortization
Intangible amortization in the three months ended September 30, 2025 increased by $1 million, or 3% to $34 million, compared with $33 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to foreign currency translation effects.
Operating profit
Operating profit in the three months ended September 30, 2025 increased by $4 million, or 5% to $87 million compared with $83 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024, due to higher gross profit, partly offset by higher sales, general and administration expenses, and higher intangible amortization as outlined above.
Net finance expense
Net finance expense in the three months ended September 30, 2025 decreased by $4 million, or 7% to $50 million, compared with $54 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024. Net finance expense in the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 is comprised of the following:

Interest expense in the three months ended September 30, 2025, increased by $4 million to $38 million, compared with $34 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase primarily relates to interest and fees on the Senior Secured Term Loan.
Lease interest cost in the three months ended September 30, 2025 decreased by $1 million to $6 million, compared with $7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024, driven by an decrease in lease obligations in the current period and related interest thereon.
Gains on derivative financial instruments in the three months ended September 30, 2025 amounted to $2 million, compared with $1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily related to the Group’s vPPA and CCIRS.
Foreign currency translation losses in the three months ended September 30, 2025 were $2 million, compared with a gain of $1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Exceptional net finance income in the three months ended September 30, 2025 of $6 million relates to a gain on
movements in the fair market value of the Earnout Shares and Private and Public Warrants. Exceptional net finance expense for the three months ended September 30, 2024 of $4 million primarily relates to a loss on movements in the fair market value of the Earnout Shares.
Income tax charge
Income tax charge in the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $10 million, compared with an income tax charge of $11 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease of $1 million in the income tax charge is due to a decrease of $1 million in income tax charge on profit before exceptional items, attributable to the decrease in profit before exceptional items in the three months ended September 30, 2025.
The effective income tax rate (ETR) on profit before exceptional items for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was 29%, compared with 31% for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in ETR primarily relates to changes in profitability mix in the three months ended September 30, 2025.
Profit for the period
As a result of the items described above, the Group recognized a profit of $27 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared with a profit of $18 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Exceptional net finance income in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 of $4 million primarily includes gains on movements in the fair market value of the Earnout Shares and Private and Public Warrants of $3 million and $1 million, respectively. Exceptional net finance income in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 of $13 million primarily includes gains on movements in the fair market value of the Earnout Shares and Private and Public Warrants of $12 million and $1 million, respectively.
Income tax charge
Income tax charge in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $16 million, compared with an income tax charge of $4 million in nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase of $12 million in the income tax charge is due to an increase of $10 million in income tax charge on profit before exceptional items, attributable to the increase in profit before exceptional items in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, in addition to a $2 million decrease in income tax credit on exceptional items, attributable to the decrease in tax deductible exceptional items in the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
The effective income tax rate (ETR) on profit before exceptional items for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was 29%, compared with 30% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in ETR primarily relates to changes in profitability mix in the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Profit for the period
As a result of the items described above, the Group recognized a profit of $27 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared with $8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Supplemental Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Key operating measures
Adjusted EBITDA consists of profit for the period before income tax charge, net finance expense, depreciation and amortization and exceptional operating items. We use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate and assess our segment performance. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because we believe that it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in evaluating companies in the packaging industry. However, other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA in a manner different from ours. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under IFRS Accounting Standards and should not be considered an alternative to profit as indicators of operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards.
For a reconciliation of the profit for the period to Adjusted EBITDA see Note 4 – Segment analysis of the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Adjusted EBITDA in the three months ended September 30, 2025 increased by $12 million, or 6%, to $208 million, compared with $196 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024. Adjusted EBITDA increase is primarily driven by favorable volume/mix effects (including the positive impact of IFRS 15 contract assets), lower operations and overhead costs and favorable foreign currency translation effects, partly offset by lower input cost recovery.
Adjusted EBITDA in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 increased by $65 million, or 13%, to $573 million, compared with $508 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Adjusted EBITDA increased principally due to favorable volume/mix effects (including the positive impact of IFRS 15 contract assets), lower operations and overhead costs and favorable foreign currency translation effects, partly offset by lower input cost recovery.

A net charge of $15 million has been recognized as exceptional items in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, primarily comprising:
| ● | $6 million start-up related and other costs in the Americas ($3 million) and in Europe ($3 million), principally relating to the Group’s investment programs. |
| ● | $10 million impairment of property, plant and equipment relating to early-stage capital expenditure for a proposed greenfield site development in Europe. The project was deferred during the period resulting in certain of the initial costs incurred no longer being recoverable. |
| ● | $4 million of transaction-related and other costs, primarily comprised of professional advisory fees and restructuring and other costs relating to transformation initiatives. |

The Group generates substantial cash flow from its operations and had $317 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at September 30, 2025.
We believe that our cash balances and future cash flow from operating activities, as well as our current and pending credit facilities, will provide sufficient liquidity to fund our maintenance capital expenditure, interest payments on our notes and other credit facilities and dividend payments for at least the next twelve months. In addition, we believe
that we will be able to fund certain additional investments through a combination of cash flow generated from operations and, where appropriate, to raise additional financing.

Cash flows from operating activities
Cash flows from operating activities increased by $16 million to $81 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, from $65 million in the same period in 2024. The increase was due to an increase in operating profit of $58 million, a decrease in exceptional costs paid, including restructuring, of $37 million and an increase in depreciation and amortization of $11 million, partly offset by an increase in working capital outflows of $44 million, higher outflows for settlements of foreign currency derivative financial instruments of $35 million, an increase in interest payments of $6 million and an increase in income tax paid of $1 million.
Net cash used in investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $1 million to $131 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared with $132 million in the same period in 2024 which was mainly driven by reduced spend on the Group’s growth investment program, partly offset by higher maintenance spend.
Net cash (used in)/ from financing activities
Net cash used in financing activities represents an outflow of $264 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared with an inflow of $20 million in the same period in 2024.
Proceeds from borrowings of $30 million primarily reflects amounts drawn on the Group’s Global Asset Based Loan Facility and other borrowings during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Repayment of borrowings of $8 million primarily reflects the repayment of other borrowings during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Lease payments of $82 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, increased by $13 million compared to $69 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, reflecting increased principal repayments on the Group’s lease obligations.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company paid cash dividends to shareholders of $198 million (2024: $198 million). On February 25, 2025, the Board approved an interim dividend of $0.10 per ordinary share. The interim dividend of $60 million was paid on March 27, 2025, to shareholders of record on March 13, 2025.

Working capital
In the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the working capital outflow during the period increased by $44 million to $305 million, from $261 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to unfavorable cash flows generated from trade and other receivables and inventories, partly offset by favorable cash flows generated from trade and other payables, compared with the same period in 2024.
Exceptional costs paid, including restructuring
Exceptional costs paid, including restructuring, in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 decreased by $37 million to $11 million, compared with $48 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. In the nine months ended September 30, 2025, amounts paid of $11 million comprised $6 million of start-up costs mainly relating to the Group’s growth investment program, $5 million of restructuring and other transaction-related costs.
Income tax paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $20 million, which represents an increase of $1 million compared with $19 million paid in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in income tax paid is primarily attributable to refunds received in certain jurisdictions in the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Capital expenditure for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 decreased by $1 million to $131 million, compared with $132 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease was mainly driven by reduced spend on the Group’s growth investment program, partly offset by increased maintenance spend. Capital expenditure for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 includes $49 million (2024: $64 million) related to the growth investment program.
In Europe, capital expenditure in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $67 million compared with $56 million in the same period in 2024, with the increase primarily attributable to higher spend on the Group’s growth investment program and maintenance capex. In the Americas, capital expenditure in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $64 million, compared with $76 million in the same period in 2024, with the decrease primarily attributable to reduced spend on the Group’s growth investment program.
Receivables Factoring and Related Programs
The Group participates in several uncommitted accounts receivable factoring and related programs with various financial institutions for certain receivables. Such programs are accounted for as true sales of receivables, as they are either without recourse to the Group or transfer substantially all the risk and rewards to the financial institutions. Receivables of $663 million were sold under these programs at September 30, 2025 (December 31, 2024: $620 million).
Certain of the Group’s suppliers have access to independent third-party payable processors. The processors allow suppliers, if they choose, to sell their receivables to financial institutions at the sole discretion of both the supplier and the financial institution. The Group does not direct or have any involvement in the sale of these receivables and availing of these arrangements is at the discretion of the supplier. As the original liability to our suppliers remains, including amounts due and scheduled payment dates, and is neither legally extinguished nor substantially modified, the Group continues to present such obligations within trade payables and includes payments to the processors within cash from operations. Included within trade and other payables at September 30, 2025 is an amount of $37 million (December 31, 2024 $111 million) where suppliers have received payments from the processors.
