The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the fiscal third-quarter revenues is pegged at $3.56 billion, indicating growth of 11% from the prior-year quarter. The consensus mark for quarterly earnings currently stands at 20 cents, suggesting year-over-year growth of 17.6%. The estimate has remained unchanged over the past 30 days.
Q2 Results
Amcor’s second quarter fiscal 2022 earnings came in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate as well as the year-ago quarter. Revenues beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate and improved year on year. The company has a trailing four-quarter negative earnings surprise of 0.25%, on average.
Amcor’s Rigid Packaging and Flexible Packaging segments have been performing well through a combination of organic growth and disciplined cost control. The Flexibles segment has witnessed HSD growth in healthcare and DD growth in pet food and coffee in the first half of fiscal 2022.
The Rigid packaging segment has been witnessing strong consumer demand. In North America, beverage volumes were up 3% year over year in the first half of fiscal 2022, while hot fill container volumes were in line with last year. The segment has been seeing volume growth in isotonics, as well as iced tea categories, where customer demand for 100% recycled PET bottles has been strong. Strong consumer demand reflects higher-at-home consumption of packaged beverages supported by higher retail sales in multi-pack formats across a range of product categories. Brand extensions and the introduction of new health and wellness oriented products in PET containers has been supporting growth. These factors might get reflected in Amcor’s third-quarter fiscal 2022 top line.
Amcor’s acquisition of Bemis Company in June 2019 has expanded its global footprint, opened up new attractive end markets and customers for the company’s products, and greater economies of scale, thus driving efficiencies and higher margins. The integration has been essentially completed and the company has realized cost synergies of $75 million in fiscal 2021. Amcor anticipates exceeding the original target of $180 million by the end of fiscal 2022 by at least 10%. These synergies might have favored the to-be-reported quarter’s margin performance.
However, this benefit might have been offset by higher raw material, chemical labor and transportation costs. The company has been witnessing raw material price volatility due to supply shortages of certain resins and raw materials, which might have marred the to-be-reported quarter’s performance.
