Consolidated Results of Operations
| Three Months Ended September 30, | ||

Net sales increased by $2,392 million, or 71%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. Excluding the increase of sales from the merger with Berry Global Group, Inc. (the "Merger"), net of divestments, of approximately $2,363 million, the positive currency impacts of approximately $110 million, and the negative impacts from the pass-through of lower raw material costs of approximately $23 million, the remaining variation in net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was a decrease of approximately $58 million or 2%, reflecting lower sales volumes of approximately 3% and favorable price/mix impact of approximately 1%.
Net income attributable to Amcor plc increased by $71 million, or 37%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. This is mainly due to increased gross profit of $465 million and higher other income, net, of $24 million, partially offset by higher selling, general, and administrative expenses of $159 million, increased amortization of acquired intangible assets of approximately $94 million, increased restructuring, transaction and integration expenses of $69 million, increased research and development expenses of $18 million, and higher interest expense, net, of $78 million, all primarily due to the Merger.
Diluted earnings per share ("Diluted EPS") decreased by $0.019, or 14%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, with the net income available to ordinary shareholders of Amcor plc increasing by 38% due to the above items and the diluted weighted average number of shares remaining increasing by 60% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in the diluted weighted-average number of shares outstanding was largely due to the completion of the Merger with Berry and the related share issuances.
