During fiscal 2024, the Company extended the maturity date of $1,550 million of its outstanding term loans to July 2029. In addition, the Company issued $800 million aggregate principal amount of 5.65% First Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2034, and another $800 million aggregate principal amount of 5.80% First Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2031. The proceeds from the 5.65% First Priority Notes were used to prepay the 0.95% First Priority Senior Secured Notes due in February 2024 and a portion of the existing term loan due in July 2026. The proceeds from the 5.80% First Priority Notes were used to repurchase a portion of the 4.875% First Priority Senior Secured Notes due in July 2026 and to prepay a portion of the existing term loan due in July 2026

Debt discounts and deferred financing fees are presented net of Long-term debt, less the current portion on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are amortized to Interest expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income through maturity.

Berry Global, Inc. Senior Secured Credit Facility

Our wholly owned subsidiary Berry Global, Inc.’s senior secured credit facilities consist of $1.5 billion of term loans and a $1.0 billion asset-based revolving line of credit. The availability under the revolving line of credit is the lesser of $1.0 billion or based on a defined borrowing base which is calculated based on available accounts receivable and inventory. At the end of the fiscal year, the Company had unused borrowing capacity of $802 million under the revolving line of credit.

The term loan facility is payable upon maturity. The Company may voluntarily repay outstanding loans under the senior secured credit facilities at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary “breakage” costs with respect to eurodollar loans. All obligations under the senior secured credit facilities are unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and, subject to certain exceptions, each of the Company’s existing and future direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries. The guarantees of those obligations are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets as well as those of each domestic subsidiary guarantor.

Despite not having financial maintenance covenants, our debt agreements contain certain negative covenants. We are in compliance with all covenants as of September 28, 2024. The failure to comply with these negative covenants could restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness, effect acquisitions, enter into certain significant business combinations, make distributions or redeem indebtedness.

Future maturities of long-term debt as of fiscal year end 2024 are as follows:

Fiscal Year	Maturities
2025	$	810
2026		2,593
2027		1,344
2028		504
2029		1,489
Thereafter		1,606
	$	8,346

Net cash interest was $425 million, $377 million, and $281 million in fiscal 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively.

Litigation

Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]

Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

4. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to certain risks arising from business operations and economic factors. The Company may use derivative financial instruments to help manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currencies. These financial instruments are not used for trading or other speculative purposes. For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, the Company must designate the hedging instrument, based upon the exposure being hedged, as a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge, or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation.

To the extent hedging relationships are found to be effective, changes in the fair value of the derivatives are offset by changes in the fair value of the related hedged item and recorded to Accumulated other comprehensive loss. Changes in the fair value of a derivative not designated as a hedge, are recorded to the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Cross-Currency Swaps

The Company is party to certain cross-currency swaps to hedge a portion of our foreign currency risk. Both the euro (€1,625 million) and the pound sterling (£700 million) swap agreements mature in June 2026. In addition to cross-currency swaps, we hedge a portion of our foreign currency risk by designating foreign currency denominated long-term debt as net investment hedges of certain foreign operations. As of September 28, 2024, we had outstanding long-term debt of €379 million that was designated as a hedge of our net investment in certain euro-denominated foreign subsidiaries. When valuing cross-currency swaps the Company utilizes Level 2 inputs (substantially observable).

Interest Rate Swaps

The primary purpose of the Company’s interest rate swap activities is to manage interest expense fluctuations associated with our outstanding variable rate term loan debt. When valuing interest rate swaps the Company utilizes Level 2 inputs (substantially observable).

During fiscal 2024, the Company elected to cash settle existing interest rate swaps and received net proceeds of $26 million. The offset is included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss and is being amortized to Interest expense through the term of the original swaps. Following the settlement, the Company entered into interest rate swaps with matching notional amounts with expiration in June 2029.

As of September 28, 2024, the Company effectively had (i) a $450 million interest rate swap transaction that swaps a one-month variable SOFR contract for a fixed annual rate of 4.553%, (ii) a $400 million interest rate swap transaction that swaps a one-month variable SOFR contract for a fixed annual rate of 4.008%, (iii) a $500 million interest rate swap transaction that swaps a one-month variable SOFR contract for a fixed annual rate of 4.648%. The Company's interest rate swap transactions all expire in June 2029.

Balances of our derivative instruments on a gross basis are as follows:

Derivative Instruments	Hedge Designation	Balance Sheet Location	2024		2023
Cross-currency swaps	Designated	Other current liabilities		—		66
Cross-currency swaps	Designated	Other long-term liabilities		271		19
Interest rate swaps	Designated	Other assets		—		36
Interest rate swaps	Not designated	Other assets		—		8
Interest rate swaps	Designated	Other long-term liabilities		75		—
Interest rate swaps	Not designated	Other long-term liabilities		62		104

The effect of the Company’s derivative instruments on the Consolidated Statements of Income is as follows:

Derivative instruments	Statements of Income Location	2024			2023			2022
Cross-currency swaps	Interest expense	$	(32	)	$	(41	)	$	(21	)
Interest rate swaps	Interest expense		(77	)		(59	)		40

The amortization related to unrealized losses in Accumulated other comprehensive loss is expected to be $19 million in the next 12 months. The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, long-term debt, interest rate swap agreements, cross-currency swap agreements and capital lease obligations. The book value of our long-term indebtedness exceeded fair value by $35 million as of fiscal 2024 and by $381 million as of fiscal 2023. The Company’s long-term debt fair values were determined using Level 2 inputs as other significant observable inputs were not available.

Non-recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company has certain assets that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis when impairment indicators are present or when the Company completes an acquisition. The Company adjusts certain long-lived assets to fair value only when the carrying values exceed the fair values. The categorization of the framework used to value the assets is considered Level 3, due to the subjective nature of the unobservable inputs used to determine the fair value.

Included in the following tables are the major categories of assets and their current carrying values, along with the impairment loss recognized on the fair value measurement for the fiscal years then ended:

	2024
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total		Impairment
Indefinite lived trademarks	$	—	$	—	$	248	$	248	$	—

Total	$	—	$	—	$	11,199	$	11,199	$	17

(“F&S”), a leading manufacturer of high output, high efficiency injection molding applications, for a purchase price of $68 million. The Company used existing liquidity to finance the acquisition, and the business is operated within the Consumer Packaging North America segment. The F&S acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, and has not finalized the allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of the assets and liabilities assumed. The preliminary estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed consisted of working capital of $3 million, property and equipment of $19 million, intangible assets of $22 million, goodwill of $35 million, and net other long-term liabilities of $11 million. The Company has recognized goodwill on this transaction primarily as a result of expected cost synergies and does not expect goodwill to be deductible for tax purposes. Divestitures During fiscal 2024, the Company completed the sale of its Promens Vehicles and Strata businesses, which were operated in the Consumer Packaging International segment for net proceeds of $25 million and $22 million, respectively. In fiscal 2023, the Promens Vehicles business recorded net sales of $111 million and Strata recorded $56 million.

Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value and are valued using the first-in, first-out method. Management periodically reviews inventory balances, using recent and future expected sales to identify slow-moving and/or obsolete items. The cost of spare parts is charged to cost of goods sold when purchased. We evaluate our reserve for inventory obsolescence on a quarterly basis and review inventory on-hand to determine future salability. We base our determinations on the age of the inventory and the experience of our personnel. We reserve inventory that we deem to be not salable in the quarter in which we make the determination. We believe, based on past history and our policies and procedures, that our net inventory is salable. Inventory as of fiscal 2024 and 2023 was:

Inventories:	2024		2023
Finished goods	$	993	$	933
Raw materials		638		624
	$	1,631	$	1,557

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed primarily by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from 15 to 40 years for buildings and improvements, 2 to 20 years for machinery, equipment, and tooling, and over the term of the agreement for capital leases. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the improvement or the lease term. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred. Property, plant and equipment as of fiscal 2024 and 2023 was:

Property, plant and equipment:	2024			2023
Land, buildings and improvements	$	1,738		$	1,693
Equipment and construction in progress		8,062			7,570

Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Fiscal Period

The Company’s U.S. based results for fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023 are based on a fifty-two week period. Fiscal 2022 was based on a fifty-three week period.

Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Berry and its subsidiaries, all of which includes our wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries. The Company has certain foreign subsidiaries that report on a calendar period basis which we consolidate into our respective fiscal period. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Revenue Recognition

Our revenues are primarily derived from the sale of non-woven, flexible and rigid products. Revenue is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied, in an amount reflecting the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled. We consider the promise to transfer products to be our sole performance obligation. If the consideration agreed to in a contract includes a variable amount, we estimate the amount of consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for transferring the promised goods to the customer using the most likely amount method. Our main sources of variable consideration are customer rebates. There are no material instances where variable consideration is constrained and not recorded at the initial time of sale. Generally, our revenue is recognized at a point in time for standard promised goods at the time of shipment, when title and risk of loss pass to the customer. The accrual for customer rebates was $106 million and $106 million at September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively, and is included in Other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company disaggregates revenue based on reportable business segment, geography, and significant product line. See Note 10. Segment and Geographic Data.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are presented net of allowance for credit losses of $19 million and $19 million at September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively. The Company records current expected credit losses based on a variety of factors including historical loss experience and current customer financial condition. The changes to our current expected credit losses, write-off activity, and recoveries were not material for any of the periods presented.

Factoring Agreements

The Company has entered into various factoring agreements to sell certain receivables to third-party financial institutions. Agreements which result in true sales of the transferred receivables, which occur when receivables are transferred without recourse to the Company, are reflected as a reduction of trade receivables on the consolidated balance sheets and the proceeds are included in the cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed when incurred. The Company incurred research and development expenditures of $72 million, $82 million, and $81 million in fiscal 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company recognized total share-based compensation expense of $46 million, $42 million, and $39 million for fiscal 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. The share-based compensation plan is more fully described in Note 9. Stockholders’ Equity.

Foreign Currency

For the non-U.S. subsidiaries that account in a functional currency other than U.S. dollars, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using period-end exchange rates. Sales and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during the period. Foreign currency translation gains and losses are included as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss within Stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

All highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less from the time of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents.

Inventories

Inventories:	2024		2023
Finished goods	$	993	$	933
Raw materials		638		624
	$	1,631	$	1,557

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment:	2024			2023
Land, buildings and improvements	$	1,738		$	1,693
Equipment and construction in progress		8,062			7,570
		9,800			9,263
Less accumulated depreciation		(5,225	)		(4,687	)
	$	4,575		$	4,576

Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived Assets

Long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and definite lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment,” whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Specifically, this process involves comparing an asset’s carrying value to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows the asset is expected to generate over its remaining life. If this process were to result in the conclusion that the carrying value of a long-lived asset would not be recoverable, a write-down of the asset to fair value would be recorded through a charge to operations.

Goodwill

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by reportable segment are as follows:

	Consumer Packaging International			Consumer Packaging North America			Flexibles		Health, Hygiene & Specialties		Total
Balance as of fiscal 2022	$	1,712		$	1,540		$	662	$	918	$	4,832
Foreign currency translation adjustment		81			1			17		12		111
Acquisitions		—			38			—		—		38
Balance as of fiscal 2023	$	1,793		$	1,579		$	679	$	930	$	4,981
Foreign currency translation adjustment		107			(1	)		16		1		123
Acquistions		—			35			—		—		35
Dispositions		(49	)		—			—		—		(49	)
Balance as of fiscal 2024	$	1,851		$	1,613		$	695	$	931	$	5,090

In fiscal year 2024, the Company completed a qualitative analysis to evaluate impairment of goodwill and concluded that it was more likely than not that the fair value for each reporting unit exceeded the carrying amount. We reached this conclusion based on the stable valuations within the packaging industry and operating results of our reporting units. As a result of our annual impairment evaluations the Company concluded that no impairment existed in fiscal 2024.

Deferred Financing Fees

Deferred financing fees are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the lives of the respective debt agreements. Pursuant to ASC 835-30, the Company presents $31 million and $34 million as of fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023, respectively, of debt issuance and deferred financing costs on the balance sheet as a deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability, instead of a deferred charge.

Intangible Assets

The changes in the carrying amount of intangible assets are as follows:

	Customer Relationships		Trademarks		Other Intangibles		Accumulated Amortization			Total
Balance as of fiscal 2022	$	3,157	$	494	$	127	$	(1,925	)	$	1,853
Foreign currency translation adjustment		69		12		1		(27	)		55
Amortization expense		—		—		—		(243	)		(243	)
Acquisitions		35		3		—		—			38
Balance as of fiscal 2023	$	3,261	$	509	$	128	$	(2,195	)	$	1,703
Foreign currency translation adjustment		69		13		—		(39	)		43
Amortization expense		—		—		—		(234	)		(234	)

Customer relationships are being amortized using an accelerated amortization method which corresponds with the customer attrition rates used in the initial valuation of the intangibles over the estimated life of the relationships which range from 5 to 17 years. Definite lived trademarks are being amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated life of the assets which are not more than 15 years. Other intangibles, which include technology and licenses, are being amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated life of the assets which range from 5 to 14 years. The Company has trademarks that total $248 million that are indefinite lived and we test annually for impairment on the first day of the fourth quarter. We completed the annual impairment test of our indefinite lived trade names utilizing the qualitative method in each year and noted no impairment.

Future amortization expense for definite lived intangibles as of fiscal 2024 for the next five fiscal years is $225 million, $210 million, $176 million, $153 million, and $133 million each year for fiscal years ending 2025, 2026, 2027, 2028, and 2029, respectively.

Insurable Liabilities

The Company records liabilities for the self-insured portion of workers’ compensation, health, product, general and auto liabilities. The determination of these liabilities and related expenses is dependent on claims experience. For most of these liabilities, claims incurred but not yet reported are estimated based upon historical claims experience.

Leases

The Company leases certain manufacturing facilities, warehouses, office space, manufacturing equipment, office equipment, and automobiles. We recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases with original lease terms greater than one year based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term using our incremental borrowing rate on a collateralized basis. Short-term leases, with original lease terms of less than one year, are not recognized on the balance sheet. We are party to certain leases, namely for manufacturing facilities, which offer renewal options to extend the original lease term. Renewal options are included in the right-of-use asset and lease liability based on our assessment of the probability that the options will be exercised. See Note 5. Commitments, Leases and Contingencies.

At September 28, 2024, annual lease commitments were as follows:

Fiscal Year	Operating Leases			Finance Leases
2025	$	130		$	9
2026		116			11

Present value of lease liabilities	$	668		$	29

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability approach, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequence of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or income tax returns. Income taxes are recognized during the period in which the underlying transactions are recorded. Deferred taxes, with the exception of non-deductible goodwill, are provided for temporary differences between amounts of assets and liabilities as recorded for financial reporting purposes and such amounts as measured by tax laws. If the Company determines that a deferred tax asset arising from temporary differences is not likely to be utilized, the Company will establish a valuation allowance against that asset to record it at its expected realizable value. The Company recognizes uncertain tax positions when it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by relevant taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company’s effective tax rate is dependent on many factors including: the impact of enacted tax laws in jurisdictions in which the Company operates; the amount of earnings by jurisdiction, due to varying tax rates in each country; and the Company’s ability to utilize foreign tax credits related to foreign taxes paid on foreign earnings that will be remitted to the U.S.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of net income and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) includes net unrealized gains or losses resulting from currency translations of foreign subsidiaries, changes in the value of our derivative instruments and adjustments to the pension liability.

The accumulated balances related to each component of other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax before reclassifications were as follows:

	Currency Translation			Defined Benefit Pension and Retiree Health Benefit Plans			Derivative Instruments			Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
Balance as of fiscal 2021	$	(154	)	$	(67	)	$	(75	)	$	(296	)

Balance as of fiscal 2024	$	(229	)	$	(44	)	$	(22	)	$	(295	)

Pension

The accounting for our pension plans requires us to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of the pension plans on our balance sheet. The selection of assumptions is based on historical trends and known economic and market conditions at the time of valuation, as well as independent studies of trends performed by our actuaries. Pension benefit costs include assumptions for the discount rate, mortality rate, retirement age, and expected return on plan assets. Retiree medical plan costs include assumptions for the discount rate, retirement age, and health-care-cost trend rates. We review annually the discount rate used to calculate the present value of pension plan liabilities. The discount rate used at each measurement date is set based on a high-quality corporate bond yield curve, derived based on bond universe information sourced from reputable third-party indices, data providers, and rating agencies. In countries where there is no deep market in corporate bonds, we have used a government bond approach to set the discount rate. In evaluating other assumptions, the Company considers many factors, including an evaluation of expected return on plan assets and the health-care-cost trend rates of other companies; historical assumptions compared with actual results; an analysis of current market conditions and asset allocations; and the views of advisers.

Net Income Per Share

The Company calculates basic net income per share based on the weighted-average number of outstanding common shares. The Company calculates diluted net income per share based on the weighted-average number of outstanding common shares plus the effect of dilutive securities.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make extensive use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of sales and expenses. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Changes in estimates are recorded in results of operations in the period that the event or circumstances giving rise to such changes occur.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07 "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reporting Segment Disclosures." The ASU was issued to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within segment profit and loss. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted, and applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2023-09 "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures." The ASU was issued to improve transparency and disclosure requirements for the rate reconciliation, income taxes paid and other tax disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted, and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

Business Consolidation and Other Activities

8. Business Consolidation and Other Activities

In fiscal 2023, the Company initiated business consolidation cost savings initiatives including plant rationalization, in all four segments as part a 2023 cost savings initiative plan. The Company currently expects total business consolidation cash and non-cash expense to be approximately $250 million, with the operations savings intended to counter general economic softness. The initiatives are expected to be fully implemented by the end of fiscal 2025. During fiscal 2024, 2023, and 2022 the Company did not shut down any facilities with significant net sales.

The table below includes the significant components of our business consolidation and other activities recognized for the fiscal years ended, by reporting segment:

Net Income per Share

11. Net Income per Share

Basic net income or earnings per share ("EPS") is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted EPS includes the effects of options and restricted stock units, if dilutive.

The following tables provide a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted EPS calculations:

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	12. Subsequent Events Closing of Spin-Off In February 2024, the Company announced plans for a spin-off and merger of our Health, Hygiene & Specialties Global Nonwovens and Films business (HHNF) with Glatfelter Corporation (GLT). The spin-off occurred on November 4, 2024 and the historical business will be presented as a Discontinued Operation in future filings. Tapes On November 24, 2024, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Specialty Tapes business (“Tapes”) for a headline purchase price of $540 million, which will be subject to a number of closing adjustments. The Tapes business is currently operated within the Flexibles segment, and had annual revenues of $340 million in fiscal 2024 and $331 million in fiscal 2023. The transaction is expected to be completed by early 2025, subject to customary closing conditions. The Company anticipates a book gain will be recorded at the time of disposition, but is not calculable until the closing adjustments have been finalized. Entry into Merger Agreement On November 19, 2024, the Company announced that it has entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Amcor plc, a Jersey public company (“Amcor”) and Aurora Spirit, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Amcor (“Merger Sub”). The Merger Agreement provides for, among other things and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of specified conditions set forth therein, the merger of Merger Sub with and into Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Amcor. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding (excluding shares held by the Company as treasury stock immediately prior to the Effective Time) will be converted into the right to receive 7.25 fully paid and nonassessable Amcor ordinary shares (and, if applicable, cash in lieu of fractional shares), less any applicable withholding taxes. The completion of the Merger is subject to certain conditions, including: (i) the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the Company’s stockholders, (ii) the approval of the issuance of Amcor ordinary shares in the Merger by Amcor’s shareholders, (iii) the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the absence of any agreement with either the Federal Trade Commission or Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice not to complete the Merger, (iv) the receipt of other required regulatory approvals, (v) the absence of any order or law that has the effect of enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the completion of the Merger, (vi) the approval for listing of the Amcor ordinary shares to be issued in connection with the Merger on the New York Stock Exchange and the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-4 with respect to such ordinary shares, (vii) subject to certain exceptions, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other party, (viii) performance in all material respects by each party of its respective obligations under the Merger Agreement and (ix) the absence of certain changes that have had, or would reasonably be expected to have, a material adverse effect with respect to each of the Company and Amcor. Amcor will be required to pay the Company a termination fee equal to $260 million in specified circumstances, including if Amcor terminates the Merger Agreement to enter into a superior proposal or if the Company terminates the Merger Agreement following a change of recommendation by Amcor’s Board of Directors, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement. The Company will be required to pay Amcor a termination fee equal to $260 million in specified circumstances, including if the Company terminates the Merger Agreement to enter into a superior proposal or if Amcor terminates the Merger Agreement following a change of recommendation by the Company’s Board of Directors, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement. The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and the Merger does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed by the Company on November 19, 2024 and which is incorporated herein by reference. As a result of the Merger, the distribution by the Company of the wholly-owned subsidiary that owned the HHNF business at the time of the spin-off (“Spinco”) that occurred on November 4, 2024 (the “Distribution”) may be a taxable transaction to the Company for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If the Distribution were determined to be taxable to the Company, the taxable gain recognized by the Company, if any, would be immaterial based on the Company’s adjusted tax basis in Spinco immediately prior to the Distribution. Other In November 2024, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a quarterly cash dividend of $0.31 per share. The first fiscal quarter payment will be paid on December 16, 2024 to shareholders of record as of December 2, 2024.

The Company had $169 million of net deferred tax assets recorded in Other assets, and $475 million of net deferred tax liabilities recorded in Deferred income taxes on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of September 28, 2024, the Company has recorded deferred tax assets related to federal, state, and foreign net operating losses, interest expense, and tax credits. These attributes are spread across multiple jurisdictions and generally have expiration periods beginning in 2025 while a portion remains available indefinitely. Each attribute has been assessed for realization and a valuation allowance is recorded against the deferred tax assets to bring the net amount recorded to the amount more likely than not to be realized. The valuation allowance against deferred tax assets was $133 million and $114 million as of the fiscal years ended 2024 and 2023, respectively, related to the foreign and U.S. federal and state operations.

The Company is permanently reinvested except to the extent the foreign earnings are previously taxed or to the extent that we have sufficient basis in our non-U.S. subsidiaries to repatriate earnings on an income tax free basis.

Uncertain Tax Positions

The following table summarizes the activity related to our gross unrecognized tax benefits for fiscal years ended:

	2024			2023
Beginning unrecognized tax benefits	$	107		$	121
Gross increases – tax positions in prior periods		10			17
Gross decreases – tax positions in prior periods		(2	)		(11	)
Gross increases – current period tax positions		7			12
Gross increases – from acquisition		3			—
Settlements		(4	)		—
Lapse of statute of limitations		(22	)		(32	)
Ending unrecognized tax benefits	$	99		$	107

As of fiscal year end 2024, the amount of unrecognized tax benefit that, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate was $97 million and we had $30 million accrued for payment of interest and penalties related to our uncertain tax positions. Our penalties and interest related to uncertain tax positions are included in income tax expense.

As a result of global operations, we file income tax returns in the U.S. federal, various state and local, and foreign jurisdictions and are routinely subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. Excluding potential adjustments to net operating losses, the U.S. federal and state income tax returns are no longer subject to income tax assessments for years before 2019. With few exceptions, the major foreign jurisdictions are no longer subject to income tax assessments for year before 2016.

Retirement Plans [Abstract]

Retirement Plans

7. Retirement Plans

The Company sponsors defined contribution retirement plans covering substantially all employees. Contributions are based upon a fixed dollar amount for employees who participate and percentages of employee contributions at specified thresholds. Contribution expense for these plans was $40 million, $40 million, and $42 million for fiscal 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively.

The majority of the North American and UK defined benefit pension plans, which cover certain manufacturing facilities, are closed to future entrants. The assets of all the plans are held in a separate trustee administered fund to meet long-term liabilities for past and present employees. The majority, $68 million, of Mainland Europe’s total underfunded status relates to non-contributory pension plans within our German operations. There is no external funding for these plans although they are secured by insolvency insurance required under German law. In general, the plans provide a fixed retirement benefit not related to salaries and are closed to new entrants.

The net amount of liability recognized is included in Employee Benefit Obligations on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company uses fiscal year end as a measurement date for the retirement plans.

At the end of fiscal 2024, the Company had $59 million of net unrealized losses recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company expects less than $1 million to be realized in fiscal 2025.

The following table presents key weighted-average assumptions used to determine benefit obligation and benefit cost for the fiscal years ended:

(Percentages)	2024
(Percentages)	North America		UK		Mainland Europe
Weighted-average assumptions:
Discount rate for benefit obligation		4.7		5.0		3.3
Discount rate for net benefit cost		5.6		5.0		4.2
Expected return on plan assets for net benefit costs		6.1		6.8		2.7

(Percentages)	2023
(Percentages)	North America		UK		Mainland Europe
Weighted-average assumptions:
Discount rate for benefit obligation		5.6		5.5		4.1
Discount rate for net benefit cost		5.1		5.2		3.7
Expected return on plan assets for net benefit costs		6.1		5.7		2.6

In evaluating the expected return on plan assets, Berry considered its historical assumptions compared with actual results, an analysis of current market conditions, asset allocations, and the views of advisors. The return on plan assets is derived from target allocations and historical yield by asset type. A one quarter of a percentage point reduction of expected return on pension assets, mortality rate or discount rate applied to the pension liability would result in an immaterial change to the Company’s pension expense.

The Company’s retirement plan assets are invested with the objective of providing the plans the ability to fund current and future benefit payment requirements while minimizing annual Company contributions. The retirement plans held $15 million of the Company’s stock at the end of fiscal 2024. The Company re-addresses the allocation of its investments on a regular basis.
