ARDAGH METAL PACKAGING S.A.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.     General information

Ardagh Metal Packaging S.A. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg on January 21, 2021. The Company’s registered office is 56, rue Charles Martel, L-2134 Luxembourg, Luxembourg.

Ardagh Metal Packaging S.A. and its subsidiaries (together the “Group” or “AMP”) are a leading supplier of metal beverage cans globally, with a particular focus on the Americas and Europe. The group supplies sustainable and infinitely recyclable metal packaging to a diversified customer base of the leading global, regional and national beverage producers. AMP operates 24 production facilities in Europe and the Americas and employs approximately 5,800 people.

The Group does not have any operations within Russia or Ukraine and continues to monitor and comply with the various sanctions administered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, the European Union, the United Kingdom and the United Nations Security Committee that have been imposed on the Russian government, certain Russian entities and individuals.

These unaudited consolidated interim financial statements reflect the consolidation of the legal entities forming the Group for the periods presented.

The significant accounting policies that have been applied to the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements are described in note 3.

2.     Statement of directors’ approval

The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements were approved for issue by the board of directors of Ardagh Metal Packaging S.A. (the “Board”) on July 26, 2022.

3.     Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements of the Group for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”. The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2021 which was prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).

The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements are presented in U.S. dollar rounded to the nearest million. The functional currency of the Company is euro.

Income tax in interim periods is accrued using the effective tax rate expected to be applied to annual earnings.

The accounting policies, presentation and methods of computation followed in the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those applied in the Group’s latest Annual Report.

Basis of preparation prior to the AMP Transfer

For the periods prior to the “AMP Transfer” (AMP Transfer references to a series of transactions pursuant to the Transfer Agreement in connection with the Business Combination effected by AGSA on April 1, 2021, as further explained

Ardagh Metal Packaging S.A.

8

in the Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2021), the unaudited combined interim financial statements have been prepared on a carve-out basis from the consolidated financial statements of Ardagh Group S.A. (“Ardagh” or “AGSA”), to represent the financial position and performance of the AMP Business (“the Business”) as if the Business had existed on a stand-alone basis for the three months ended March 31, 2021 for the unaudited consolidated interim income statement, statement of comprehensive income and statement of cash flows. However, those unaudited combined interim financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that would have occurred if the Business had been a stand-alone entity during the period presented.

Corporate center costs of $9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, which were allocated by Ardagh primarily based on Adjusted EBITDA, have been included in selling, general and administration (“SGA”) expenses with settlement of these costs recorded within invested capital. The allocations reflected all the costs of doing business and management believes that the allocations were reasonable and materially reflected what the expenses would have been on a stand-alone basis. These costs reflected the arrangements that existed in Ardagh and are not necessarily representative of costs that may arise in the future. For information relating to corporate center costs in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, from Ardagh to AMP and included within SGA expenses, see note 15.

Basis of preparation after the AMP Transfer

For the periods subsequent to the AMP Transfer, effective on April 1, 2021, unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared for the Group as a stand-alone business.

Recent changes in accounting pronouncements

The impact of new standards, amendments to existing standards and interpretations issued and effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022 have been assessed by the Directors. No new standards or amendments to existing standards effective January 1, 2022 have had or are expected to have a material impact for the Group. The Directors’ assessment of the impact of new standards, which are not yet effective and which have not been early adopted by the Group, on the consolidated interim financial statements is on-going.

4.     Segment analysis

The Group’s two operating and reportable segments, Europe and Americas, reflect the basis on which the Group’s performance is reviewed by management and presented to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). The CODM has been identified as being the Executive Committee of Ardagh for the periods prior and the Board and Chief Financial Officer for the periods after the AMP Transfer, respectively.

Performance of the Group is assessed based on Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is the profit or loss for the period before income tax charge or credit, net finance income or expense, depreciation and amortization and exceptional operating items. Other items are not allocated to segments, as these are reviewed by the CODM on a group-wide basis. Segmental revenues are derived from sales to external customers. Inter-segment revenue is not material.

One customer accounted for greater than 10% of total Group revenue across both reportable segments in the six months ended June 30, 2022 (2021: one).

Within each reportable segment our respective packaging containers have similar production processes and classes of customers. Further, they have similar economic characteristics, as evidenced by similar profit margins, similar degrees of risk and similar opportunities for growth. Based on the foregoing, we do not consider that they constitute separate product lines and, therefore, additional disclosures relating to product lines are not necessary.

7.     Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing the profit/(loss) for the period attributable to equity holders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

The following table reflects the income statement profit/(loss) and share data used in the basic EPS calculations:

	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
	2022		2021 (i)		2022		2021 (i)
	$'m		$'m		$'m		$'m
Profit/(loss) attributable to equity holders		100		26		157		(48)
Weighted average number of common shares for EPS (millions) (ii)		603.3		493.8		603.3		493.8

Impairment test for goodwill

Goodwill is not subject to amortization and is tested annually for impairment following the approval of the annual budget (normally at the end of the financial year), or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment.

Management has considered whether any impairment indicators existed at the reporting date, and has concluded that the carrying amount of the goodwill is fully recoverable as at June 30, 2022.

Financing activity

2022

On June 8, 2022, the Group issued $600 million 6.000% Senior Secured Green Notes due 2027. Net proceeds from the issuance of the notes will be used for general corporate purposes.

Fair value methodology

There has been no change to the fair value hierarchies for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments.

Fair values are calculated as follows:

(i) Senior Secured Green and Senior Green Notes – the fair value of debt securities in issue is based on valuation techniques in which all significant inputs are based on observable market data and represent Level 2 inputs.

(ii) Global Asset Based Loan Facility and other borrowings – the fair values of the borrowings in issue is based on valuation techniques in which all significant inputs are based on observable market data and represent Level 2 inputs.

(iii) Commodity and foreign exchange derivatives – the fair value of these derivatives are based on quoted market prices and represent Level 2 inputs.

(iv) Earnout Shares, Private Warrants and Public Warrants - the fair values of the Earnout Shares and Private Warrants are based on valuation techniques using an unobservable volatility assumption which represents Level 3 inputs, whereas the fair value of the Public Warrants is based on an observable market price and represents a Level 1 input.

Derivative financial instruments – foreign currency swaps

The Group operates in a number of currencies and, accordingly, hedges a portion of its currency transaction risk. A cash gain of $16 million and $26 million on hedging was recognized in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively (2021: loss of $1 million and $1 million) and has been reflected within net interest paid in the unaudited consolidated interim statement of cash flows.

11.   Employee benefit obligations

Employee benefit obligations at June 30, 2022 have been reviewed in respect of the latest discount rates, inflation rates and asset valuations. A re-measurement gain of $24 million and $52 million (2021: gain of $1 million and $16 million)  has been recognized in the unaudited consolidated interim statement of comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

The re-measurement gain recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2022 consisted of a decrease in the obligations of $83 million (2021: increase of $12 million), partly offset by a decrease in asset valuations of $59 million (2021: increase of $13 million).

The re-measurement gain recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2022 consisted of a decrease in the obligations of $147 million (2021: decrease of $38 million), partly offset by a decrease in asset valuations of $95 million (2021: decrease of $22 million).

Other liabilities

Resulting from the AMP Transfer, effective on April 1, 2021, AGSA has a contingent right to receive up to 60.73 million Earnout Shares. The Earnout Shares are issuable by AMP to AGSA subject to attainment of certain stock price hurdles, with equal amounts of shares at $13, $15, $16.50, $18, and $19.50, respectively, over a five-year period from the 180th day following the closing of the Merger on August 4, 2021. In accordance with IAS 32 (Financial Instruments—Presentation), the arrangement has been assessed to determine whether the Earnout Shares represent a liability or an equity instrument. As the arrangement may result in AMP issuing a variable number of shares in the future, albeit capped at a total of 60.73 million shares, the Earnout Shares have, in accordance with the requirements of IAS 32, been recognized as a financial liability measured at fair value in the consolidated financial statements. A valuation assessment was performed for the purpose of determining the financial liability using a Monte Carlo simulation using key assumptions for: volatility (50%) (December 31, 2021: volatility 34%); a dividend yield implicit from the traded closing price of the AMP warrants; risk-free rate; and traded closing AMP share price. The estimated valuation of the liability as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, were $162 million and $292 million, respectively. Any changes in the valuation have been reflected in net exceptional finance income. Any increase or decrease in volatility of 5% would result in an increase or decrease in the liability as of June 30, 2022, of approximately $21 million. Alternatively, an increase in the market-implied dividend yield of 1% would result in a decrease in the liability as of June 30, 2022, of approximately $8 million.

On August 4, 2021, all warrants previously exercisable for the purchase of shares in Gores Holdings V were converted into AMP warrants exercisable for the purchase of shares in AMP at an exercise price of $11.50 over a five-year period after the closing of the Merger on August 4, 2021. In accordance with IAS 32, those warrants have been recognized as a financial liability measured at fair value in the consolidated financial statements. For the warrants issued to the former sponsors of Gores Holdings V (“Private Warrants”) a valuation was performed for the purpose of determining the financial liability. The valuation applied a Black Scholes model, using key assumptions for volatility (50%) (December 31, 2021: volatility 34%); a dividend yield implicit from the traded closing price of the AMP warrants; and risk-free rate. All other outstanding warrants (“Public Warrants”) were valued using the traded closing prices of the AMP warrants. The estimated valuation of the liability as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, were $17 million and $33 million, respectively. Any changes in the valuation have been reflected in net exceptional finance income. Any increase or decrease in volatility of 5% would result in an increase or decrease in the fair value of the Private Warrants as of June 30, 2022, of approximately $1 million. Alternatively, an increase in the market-implied dividend yield of 1% would not result in a significant change in the fair value of the Private Warrants as of June 30, 2022.

17.   Contingencies

Environmental issues

AMP is regulated under various national and local environmental, occupational health and safety and other governmental laws and regulations relating to:

● the operation of installations for manufacturing of metal packaging and surface treatment using solvents;

● the generation, storage, handling, use and transportation of hazardous materials;

● the emission of substances and physical agents into the environment;

● the discharge of waste water and disposal of waste;

● the remediation of contamination;

● the design, characteristics, collection and recycling of its packaging products; and

● the manufacturing, sale and servicing of machinery and equipment for the metal packaging industry.

The Group believes, based on current information, that it is in substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations and permit requirements. It does not believe it will be required, under existing or anticipated future environmental laws and regulations, to expend amounts, over and above the amounts accrued, which will have a material effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations or cash flows. In addition, no material proceedings against the Group arising under environmental laws are pending.

Legal matters

The Group is involved in certain legal proceedings arising in the normal course of its business. The Group believes that none of these proceedings, either individually or in aggregate, are expected to have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

18.   Seasonality of operations

Ardagh Metal Packaging S.A.

20

The Group’s revenue and cash flows are both subject to seasonal fluctuations, with the Group generally building inventories in anticipation of these seasonal demands resulting in working capital requirements typically being the greatest at the end of the first quarter of the year.  

The demand for our metal beverage products is strongest during spells of warm weather and therefore demand typically peaks during the summer months, as well as in the period leading up to holidays in December.

The Group manages the seasonality of working capital principally by supplementing operating cash flows with drawings under our Global Asset Based Loan Facility.

19.   Events after the reporting period

At the AMP extraordinary general meeting of shareholders held on July 8, 2022, AMP’s shareholders approved a resolution to amend AMP’s articles of association to create preferred shares. Following shareholder approval of this resolution, on July 8, 2022, AMP issued 56,306,306 non-convertible, non-voting 9% preferred shares of nominal value of €4.44 per preferred share to AGSA for €250 million (approximately $260 million).

Since June 30, 2022, the Company has repurchased circa 2 million additional shares returning approximately $12 million to shareholders.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read together with, and is qualified in its entirety by, reference to the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 including the related notes thereto. As used in this section, the “Group” refers to Ardagh Metal Packaging S.A. and its subsidiaries.

Some of the measures used in this report are not measurements of financial performance under IFRS and should not be considered an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of liquidity or an alternative to operating profit/(loss) or profit/(loss) for the period as indicators of our operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with IFRS.

Business drivers

The main factors affecting our results of operations for the Group are: (i) global economic trends and end-consumer demand for our products and production capacity of our manufacturing facilities; (ii) prices of raw materials and energy used in our business, primarily aluminum, steel, and coatings, and our ability to pass through these and other cost increases to our customers, through contractual pass through mechanisms under multi-year contracts, or through renegotiation in the case of short-term contracts; (iii) investment in operating cost reductions; (iv) acquisitions; (v) foreign exchange rate fluctuations and currency translation risks arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the euro, U.S. dollar, British pound, Polish zloty and Brazilian real; and (vi) the ability to recruit and retain staff to support the Group’s growth investment program.

AMP

AMP generates its revenue from supplying metal can packaging to the beverage end use category. Revenue is primarily dependent on sales volumes and sales prices.

Sales volumes are influenced by a number of factors, including factors driving customer demand, seasonality and the capacity of our metal beverage packaging plants. Demand for our metal beverage cans may be influenced by trends in the consumption of beverages, industry trends in packaging, including marketing decisions, and the impact of environmental regulations and shifts in consumer sentiment towards a greater awareness of sustainability. The demand for our beverage products is strongest during spells of warm weather and therefore demand typically, based on historical trends, peaks during the summer months, as well as in the period leading up to the holidays in December. Accordingly, we generally build inventories in the first and fourth quarter in anticipation of the seasonal demands in our beverage business.

AMP’s Adjusted EBITDA is based on revenue derived from selling our metal beverage cans and is affected by a number of factors, primarily cost of sales. The elements of our cost of sales include (i) variable costs, such as, raw materials (including the cost of aluminum), packaging materials, utility costs, decoration and freight and other distribution costs; and (ii) fixed costs, such as labor and other plant-related costs including depreciation and maintenance. In addition sales, marketing and administrative costs also impact Adjusted EBITDA. AMP’s variable costs have typically constituted approximately 75% and fixed costs approximately 25% of the total cost of sales for our business.

Revenue

Revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased by $312 million, or 31%, to $1,303 million, compared with $991 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in revenue is primarily driven by the pass through to customers of higher input costs and favorable volume/mix effects, which includes an impact of the Group’s growth investment program, partly offset by unfavorable foreign currency translation effects of $47 million.

Cost of sales

Cost of sales in the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased by $313 million, or 38%, to $1,139 million, compared with $826 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in cost of sales is principally due to increased sales as noted above, higher input costs and higher exceptional cost of sales. Further analysis of the movements in exceptional items is set out in the “Supplemental Management’s Discussion and Analysis” section.

Gross profit

Gross profit in the three months ended June 30, 2022 decreased by $1 million, or 1%, to $164 million, compared with $165 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021. Gross profit percentage in the three months ended June 30, 2022 decreased by 400 basis points to 12.6%, compared with 16.6% in the three months ended June 30, 2021. Excluding exceptional cost of sales, gross profit percentage in the three months ended June 30, 2022 decreased by 340 basis points to 13.8% compared with 17.2% in the three months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to the impact of elevated revenue and cost of sales lines from the pass through to customers and incurrence, respectively, of higher input costs. Further analysis of the movements in exceptional items is set out in the “Supplemental Management’s Discussion and Analysis” section.

Sales, general and administration expenses

Sales, general and administration expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased by $6 million, or 12%, to $57 million, compared with $51 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in sales, general and administration expenses was primarily due to higher warehouse and packaging costs. Excluding exceptional items, sales, general and administration expenses increased by $9 million. Exceptional sales, general and administration expenses decreased by $3 million, due to lower transaction-related costs and other costs.

Intangible amortization

Intangible amortization of $35 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022 decreased by $4 million, or 10%, compared with $39 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to foreign exchange effects.

Operating profit

Operating profit of $72 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022 decreased by $3 million, or 4%, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to lower gross profit, as outlined above, and increased sales, general and administration expenses, partly offset by lower intangible amortization.

Net finance income/expense

Net finance income for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased by $62 million to $40 million compared with $22 million net finance expense for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Net finance (income)/expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 comprised the following:

	Unaudited
	(in $ millions)
	Three months ended June 30,
	2022	2021
Interest expense	25	24
Net pension interest costs	1	1

Other net finance expense	5	3
Net finance expense before exceptional items	34	28
Exceptional finance income	(74)	(6)
Net finance (income)/expense	(40)	22

Interest expense increased by $1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared with $24 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase primarily relates to interest expense on the $600 million 6.000% Senior Secured Green Notes due 2027 issued during the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Foreign currency translation losses in the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased by $2 million, to $3 million, compared with a loss of $1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021, driven by foreign exchange rate fluctuations, primarily the U.S. dollar and British pound.

Income tax charge

Income tax charge in the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $12 million, an decrease of $15 million from an income tax charge of $27 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease of $15 million in the income tax charge is due to a decrease in pre-exceptional tax charge of $10 million, primarily attributable to the movement in net tax deductible finance expense in the three months ended June 30, 2022, and an increase in exceptional tax credits of $5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022.

The effective income tax rate (“ETR”) on profit before exceptional items for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was 28%, compared with a rate of 44% for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in ETR primarily relates to the movement in net tax deductible finance expense in the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Profit for the period

As a result of the items described above, the Group recognized a profit of $100 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared with a profit of $26 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021.

The increase of $9 million in the income tax charge is due to an increase in pre-exceptional tax charge of $6 million, primarily attributable to an increase in profitability in the six months ended June 30, 2022, partially offset by movements in net tax deductible finance expense in the six months ended June 30, 2022, and a decrease in exceptional tax credits of $3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Supplemental Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Key operating measures

Adjusted EBITDA consists of profit/(loss) for the year before income tax charge/(credit), net finance (income)/expense, depreciation and amortization and exceptional operating items. We use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate and assess our segment performance. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because we believe that it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in evaluating companies in the packaging industry. However, other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA in a manner different from ours. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under IFRS and should not be considered an alternative to profit/(loss) as indicators of operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with IFRS.

For a reconciliation of the profit/(loss) for the period to Adjusted EBITDA see note 4 – Segment analysis of the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA in the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased by $8 million, or 5%, to $181 million, compared with $173 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021. Excluding unfavorable foreign currency translation effects of $9 million Adjusted EBITDA increased by $17 million due to favorable volume/mix effects, which includes an impact of the Group’s growth investment program and recovery of input cost inflation, partly offset by increased operating costs.

Adjusted EBITDA in the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased by $5 million, or 2%, to $326 million, compared with $321 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021. Excluding unfavorable foreign currency translation effects of $13 million Adjusted EBITDA increased by $18 million due to favorable volume/mix effects, which includes an impact of the Group’s growth investment program, partly offset by increased operating costs.

Trade Payables Processing

Our suppliers have access to independent third party payable processors. The processors allow suppliers, if they choose, to sell their receivables to financial institutions at the sole discretion of both the supplier and the financial institution. We have no involvement in the sale of these receivables and our suppliers are at liberty to use these arrangements if they wish to receive early payment. As the original liability to our suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment dates, remains as agreed in our supply agreements and is neither legally extinguished nor substantially modified, the Group continues to present such obligations within trade payables.
