Amcor Q1 FY2027: sales up 7.0%, EPS falls, cash outflow $820 million
Amcor's first quarter of fiscal 2027 showed a solid top line and a soft bottom line: sales rose 7.0% to $6.13 billion, but GAAP EPS slipped to $0.52 and free cash flow swung to an $820 million outflow. The view is Neutral. Most of the sales gain came from passing through raw material costs rather than selling more packaging, so margin, cash and the guidance cut are the real signals here — not the revenue headline.

The gap between the two is mostly $0.30 per share of amortization from acquired intangibles plus $0.13 of restructuring and integration costs tied to Berry. Adjusted EBIT of $689 million was flat year over year even though sales grew 7.0%.
Revenue of $6.13 billion rose 7.0% from $5.75 billion a year earlier, but roughly $435 million of that — about 8.0 percentage points — was simply passing through higher raw material costs. Volumes added just 1.0%, and divestitures removed about $112 million, or 2.0%, from sales. Gross margin slipped to 18.9% from 19.6%.
