Factors Likely to Have Shaped AMCR’s Q3 Performance
Amcor’s total volume growth had been in the negative territory for seven straight quarters till the third quarter of fiscal 2024 as inflationary pressures weighed on consumer spending. Volumes picked up with 1% growth in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 , 2% in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 and 2% in the second quarter of fiscal 2025.
We expect 4.7% growth in volumes in the fiscal second quarter. This is likely to have been driven by an improved performance in the Flexibles segment. Overall price/mix benefits are expected to be a negative 1.9% for the quarter.
Amcor has been facing intermittent supply shortages and price volatility of certain resins and raw materials because of market dynamics and higher rates of inflation impacting other costs. The impacts of this are expected to be reflected in the company’s fiscal third-quarter earnings results.
