Oliver Graham, CEO of Ardagh Metal Packaging (AMP), said:
"We delivered a strong performance in the third quarter, with Adjusted EBITDA growth of 6% versus the prior year quarter. Our result was towards the upper end of our guidance range with both segments performing broadly in line with expectations. Adjusted EBITDA growth in the quarter was supported by shipments growth in Europe and North America, lower operational and overhead costs, as well as favorable category mix.
Overall global volumes are up over 3% year-to-date versus the prior period and the beverage can continues to benefit from innovation and share gains in our customers' packaging mix. Our resilient business performance in the current macro environment gives us confidence to further upgrade our full year Adjusted EBITDA guidance to $720-735 million."

Group Performance

Revenue of $1,428 million in the three months ended September 30, 2025, increased by $115 million, or 9%, compared with $1,313 million in the same period last year. On a constant currency basis, revenue increased by 6%, reflecting the pass through of higher input costs to customers and favorable volume/mix effects.
