Amcor's CEO Mr Ron Delia said: ÔÇ£2019 was a transformative year for Amcor, marked by the successful completion of the Bemis acquisition and our listing on the New York Stock Exchange. The integration of Bemis is well underway and we remain confident in our ability to deliver $180 million of pre-tax cost synergies by the end of the 2022 fiscal year.ÔÇØ

ÔÇ£The legacy Amcor business performed well during the 2019 financial year, delivering results right in line with expectations and building momentum in several areas including safety, sales and working capital. Overall, Amcor delivered net income growth of 9% in constant currency terms with good performance in both the Rigid Packaging and Flexibles reporting segments.ÔÇØ

ÔÇ£Our financial profile is strong and will be enhanced as we deliver financial benefits from the Bemis acquisition and continued organic growth across the business. Amcor's capacity to drive shareholder returns is evident in the initiatives announced today including increasing the dividend, returning $500 million to shareholders through a share buy-back and investing at least $50 million in strategic projects to accelerate our sustainability agenda.ÔÇØ

ÔÇ£Today, Amcor is the global leader in consumer packaging with a unique combination of talented people, differentiated capabilities, scale and global reach. These are powerful competitive advantages that enable us to better serve our customers and to develop and deliver packaging that best protects the environment.ÔÇØ
