Oliver Graham, CEO of Ardagh Metal Packaging (AMP), said:

“AMP delivered a strong performance in the third quarter, with growth in global shipments and Adjusted EBITDA, ahead of our guidance. Beverage can shipments increased by 2%, driven by strong performance in Europe with growth of 6%, partly offset by a shipments decline of 1% in the Americas - which represented a sequential quarterly improvement, supported by the strength of our customer portfolio.

Our Adjusted EBITDA outperformance in the quarter reflected a good performance in both segments. Europe continued to benefit from robust volume growth and the Americas were supported by favorable volume/mix effects driven by continued demand for speciality cans in North America, helping to negate the expected impact of contract resets.

Beverage can industry demand remains resilient across each of our markets, driven by strength in key categories and continued share gains in the packaging mix. Given this demand strength we are pleased to announce that we are accelerating and upscaling our previously outlined growth investment plans in Europe, to capture this growth and to support our customers, by building two new can lines in existing facilities in the attractive markets of the UK and Spain.”

●

Global beverage can shipments grew by 2% in the quarter versus the prior year quarter. Global shipments growth reflected an increase of 6% in Europe, partly offset by a 1% decline in the Americas, driven by a 1% decline in North America - a strong sequential improvement from Q2 - and a 5% decline in Brazil, due to customer mix and a contract reset.

●	Adjusted EBITDA of $213 million for the quarter was ahead of our guidance range of $200-210 million, representing a 2% increase, on both a reported and constant currency basis, versus the prior year quarter.

●

In Europe Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter increased by 11%, on both a reported and constant currency basis, to $91 million, mainly driven by higher input cost recovery and strong volume growth, partly offset by the impact of the IFRS 15 contract asset, as well as slightly higher operations and overhead costs.

●	In the Americas Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter decreased by 3% to $122 million, resulting from higher operations and overhead costs, as well as lower input cost recovery versus the prior year quarter, partly offset by favorable volume/mix.

●

Strong total liquidity position of $736 million at September 30, 2026. Net debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio of 5.1x, below the 5.2x in the prior year quarter. On a comparable like for like basis, pro-forma for the Q4 2025 refinancing of the preferred shares, leverage has reduced from 5.6x in the prior year quarter.

●	Regular quarterly ordinary dividend of 10c announced. No change to capital allocation priorities.

●	2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance raised: Full year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance range raised to between $785–795 million, assuming modest global shipments growth.

●

Fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA expected to be in the range of $153–163 million. This compares with Q4 2025 Adjusted EBITDA of $166 million ($164 million at constant currency) and reflects current foreign exchange rates, some inflationary headwinds and also laps strong prior year shipments growth of 4%.
