The Berry synergies case, 20 quarters out

Model as of

Each segment is projected from its own operating driver, rolled up into consolidated cash flow, and discounted back to a fair value per share. The assumptions below are editable — change them and every number on this page moves with them.

Amcor reports TWO segments — Global Flexible Packaging Solutions and Global Rigid Packaging Solutions — and this model copies those. Q4 $3,525M + $2,873M = $6,398M. 2025 Q4 is the first quarter with any Berry (two months); 2026 Q1 is the first full quarter. Do not load combined pro forma 2025 Q4 $6,036M as history. Do not split into six end-markets. Opening 1% sequential is not Q4/Q3 +8%. Segment EBITDA is allocated company adjusted EBITDA $1,045M by Q4 adjusted EBIT mix (flexibles $533M, rigid $352M). Capex 4% is Q4 PPE $235M / $6,398M. netCash is the release net debt $12,897M. Shares are Q4 diluted weighted 464.6 million after the 1-for-5 reverse split. House close $47.91; profile $40.61 is stale. Tax 17% is the 16.8% adjusted rate. Stub adj EPS $1.80–$1.90 is six-month non-GAAP and is not a quarterly sales guide.

Year-one synergy capture $285M on the call, 10% ahead of plan, against a $650M three-year target. This case pays for the rest of that programme and a bit of volume without inventing a sixth end-market or a second acquisition. It does not assume the $280M growth-synergy pool is already revenue.

9% for an investment-grade packager with $12.9B of net debt. Exit 1.5x trailing-year sales matches today's EV/sales: $47.91 × 464.6M shares is $22.3B of equity, plus $12.9B of net debt is $35.2B of EV on $23.5B of FY2026 sales, about 9.6x adjusted EBITDA of $3.67B. Move the exit multiple before opening growth. Stub adj EPS $1.80–$1.90 is six-month non-GAAP. Q4 GAAP EPS $0.83. FCF this quarter is the seasonal cash quarter.

Read the other way round: at $43.00 the market is paying 0.8x terminal-year revenue, holding every other assumption on this page fixed. That is the number to argue about.
