Paul Coulson, Chairman and Chief Executive, said “The Group performed very well in the quarter in a challenging operating environment, with continued strong growth in Metal Beverage Packaging and resumed volume growth in Glass Packaging, as on-premise channels re-opened. Our 2020 $250 million Business Growth Investment program has progressed well and will deliver new beverage can capacity in North America later this quarter. In addition, given a very favorable long-term outlook for sustainable packaging, we plan to invest over $1.8 billion in organic growth projects in 2021 to 2024, in addition to maintenance capex. This investment, will be principally in our beverage can business.”

• Revenue for the quarter of $1,800 million, an increase of 4% at actual exchange rates and 2% at constant currency; Glass Packaging increased by 4% at constant currency, while Metal Beverage Packaging grew by 1% at constant currency, after the pass through of lower metal input costs.

• Group volume/mix increased by 3%, with growth of 4% and 3% in Metal Beverage Packaging and Glass Packaging respectively.

• Metal Beverage Packaging shipments increased by 7% in the quarter and by 4% in the year to date, with growth recorded in all regions. Specialty can shipments increased by 20% in the quarter and by 11% to date in 2020.

• Adjusted EBITDA of $330 million increased by 3% at actual exchange rates and 1% at constant currency. Metal Beverage Packaging Adjusted EBITDA increased by 9% at constant currency in the quarter. Glass Packaging Adjusted EBITDA decreased by 6% at constant currency.

• Earnings per share of $0.18 (2019: loss per share of $0.12), with Adjusted earnings per share of $0.48 (2019: $0.60).

• The 2020 $250 million Business Growth Investment program remains on track, with two new beverage can lines due to commence production in North America by the end of the year. The very favorable outlook for sustainable packaging supports planned organic investment of over $1.8 billion in business growth projects in 2021-2024, approximately 85% of which will be in our beverage can businesses and underpinned by long-term customer contracts. All told, investment in organic growth projects will exceed $2 billion in the five years to 2024, with investments of approximately $800 million in 2021, $500 million in 2022 and the remaining $500 million during 2023-2024. The investment program, which will be funded from existing cash resources, free cash flow and, where necessary, incremental debt will provide attractive, de-leveraging returns to the Group.

• Cash and available liquidity of $1.9 billion at September 30, 2020, including over $1.2 billion in cash, having fully repaid drawings under the Group’s Global Asset Based Loan Facility during the quarter.

• Sustainability agenda further advanced during the quarter, with the commitment to adopt science-based sustainability targets.

Group Performance

Revenue of $1,800 million increased by 4% in the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared with the same period last year. On a constant currency basis, revenue increased by 2%, due to favorable volume/mix effects in Metal Beverage Packaging and Glass Packaging Europe, partly offset by the pass through of lower input costs in Metal Beverage Packaging and lower demand in Glass Packaging North America.

Third quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $330 million increased by 3% at actual exchange rates, compared with the same period last year. On a constant currency basis, Adjusted EBITDA increased by 1%, as a 9% increase in Metal Beverage Packaging and a stable outturn in Glass Packaging Europe were partly offset by increased operating costs including $8 million COVID-19 related direct costs and unfavorable volume/mix in Glass Packaging North America.

Metal Beverage Packaging Europe

Revenue increased by $9 million, or 2%, to $421 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared with $412 million in the three months ended September 30, 2019. Excluding favorable foreign currency translation effects of $15 million, revenue decreased by $6 million, with volume/mix growth of 1% offset by the pass through of lower metal costs.

Adjusted EBITDA increased by 7%, to $73 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared with $68 million in the three months ended September 30, 2019. Excluding favorable foreign currency translation effects of $3 million, Adjusted EBITDA increased by $2 million, principally due to favorable volume/mix effects, partly offset by increased operating costs.

Metal Beverage Packaging Americas

Revenue increased by $14 million, or 3%, to $478 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared with $464 million in the three months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in revenue principally reflected favorable volume/mix effects of 6%, partly offset by the pass through of lower input costs.

Adjusted EBITDA increased by $11 million, or 16%, to $78 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared with $67 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2019. The increase was mainly driven by favorable volume/mix effects, partly offset by higher operating costs.

Glass Packaging Europe

Revenue increased by $58 million, or 14%, to $472 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared with $414 million in the three months ended September 30, 2019. Excluding favorable foreign currency translation effects of $17 million, revenue increased by $41 million, or 10%, mainly due to favorable volume/mix effects of 8%, partly as a result of increased customer demand as the relaxation of COVID-19 restrictions showed early signs of translating to a recovery in “on-premise” consumption, in addition to selling price increases including related to the pass through of higher input costs.

Adjusted EBITDA increased by $4 million, or 4%, to $112 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared with $108 million in the three months ended September 30, 2019. Excluding favorable foreign currency translation effects of $5 million, Adjusted EBITDA was almost unchanged, as favorable volume/mix effects were offset by unfavorable fixed cost absorption as a result of lower production.

Glass Packaging North America

Revenue decreased by $9 million, or 2%, to $429 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared with $438 million in the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease in revenue reflected unfavorable volume/mix effects of 2%, including a continued impact of COVID-19 on demand.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $10 million, or 13%, to $67 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared with $77 million in the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was mainly as a result of unfavorable volume/mix effects and higher operating and other costs.

COVID-19

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and measures to prevent its spread, including restrictions on travel, imposition of quarantines and prolonged closures of workplaces and other businesses, including hospitality, leisure and entertainment outlets, and the related cancellation of events, has impacted our business in a number of ways. This has included an adverse effect from reduced global economic activity and resulting demand for our customers’ products and, therefore, the products we manufacture. It may also adversely affect our ability to operate our business, including potential disruptions to our supply chain and workforce. The COVID-19 impact on capital markets could also impact our cost of borrowing.

The ultimate significance of the impact of these disruptions, including the extent of their adverse impact on our financial and operational results, will be determined by the length of time that such disruptions continue, which will, in turn, depend on the

4

duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, the impact of governmental and other regulations in response to the pandemic and the resulting effect on macroeconomic activity and consumer behavior.

During the three months ended September 30, 2020 the gradual relaxation of governmental measures to prevent the spread of the virus including lockdowns imposed earlier in the year, and in place for most of the second quarter, showed early signs of a recovery in “on-premise” consumption. In the quarter, this resulted in a sequential improvement in customer demand for our Glass packaging products which had experienced reductions in customer demand and therefore revenue as a direct consequence of the various global lockdowns and the related impact to “on-premise” sales during the second quarter. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, incremental COVID-19 related costs, including safety and cleaning costs, continued to be incurred throughout the Group.

Our response to the COVID-19 across our business operations can be summarized as follows:

Business Continuity: We are a leading supplier of consumer packaging solutions, comprising metal beverage cans and glass containers, primarily for the beverage and food end markets in Europe, North America and Brazil. In the markets we operate in, Ardagh is an essential provider of packaging to the beverage and food supply chain. Our people are deemed “Essential Critical Infrastructure Workers” under the guidance of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, as are our customers. Where other governments issued guidance, we received equivalent designations in all other countries where we operate. We will continue to manage our capacity in response to the evolution of demand.

Employee health and safety: The health and safety of our 16,000 employees and their families and communities, as well as our contractors, suppliers and customers has been our highest priority since the outbreak of the crisis. We established a Group-wide task force to ensure an effective and consistent response across our business. Regular updates have been issued and a dedicated intranet site established to facilitate effective communication of recommendations, policies and procedures. Communication with all stakeholders has been a core element in our response.

Measures continue to evolve in line with best practice and with recommendations by national health authorities and the World Health Organization. Initiatives introduced to date have included: enhanced hygiene procedures in all locations, including temperature screening and increased cleaning in our production facilities; increased investment in personal protective equipment; adapting work practices and routines to ensure social distancing; establishing procedures for self-isolation; travel advisories including restrictions on all non-essential travel, prior to broader restrictions on any travel; restrictions on visitors to our production facilities or by our employees to external facilities; actively encouraging and ultimately requiring remote working for non-operational personnel, and enhancing our IT capability to facilitate increased remote working.

Strong liquidity: During the third quarter the Group repaid in full the drawings on our Global Asset Based Loan Facility. The Group had $1,230 million in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash as of September 30, 2020, as well as available but undrawn liquidity of $661 million under its credit facilities.
