June 30, 2025 calculation
Operating ROA = Operating income (ttm) ÷ Total assets
= $1,042,000K ÷ $37,066,000K
= 2.81%
The operating return on assets (ROA) of Amcor PLC demonstrates a pattern of gradual fluctuation over the analyzed period. Starting from approximately 6.86% on September 30, 2020, it experienced a steady increase, reaching a peak of approximately 7.87% by September 30, 2021. During this interval, the operating ROA exhibited consistent growth, indicating improved operational efficiency relative to the company’s total assets.
Following this peak, the metric remained relatively stable through 2021, with minor variations, maintaining levels generally above 7.5%. However, starting in early 2022, a slight downward trend emerged, with the figure declining to approximately 7.11% by June 30, 2022, and fluctuating modestly around this level through the rest of 2022 and into 2023. The ROA dipped below 7% in late 2022 and early 2023, reaching as low as approximately 6.69% on December 31, 2023, indicating a temporary decline in operating efficiency relative to asset base.
Subsequent data from 2024 shows signs of recovery, with the operating ROA increasing to about 8.34% on December 31, 2024, its highest point within the analyzed period. Early 2025 reports a slight decline to 7.50%, while an anomalous decline to 2.81% is observed on June 30, 2025, suggesting a potential anomaly or extraordinary circumstances affecting the metric during that quarter.
Overall, the operating ROA of Amcor PLC displays a pattern of growth into late 2021, followed by periods of stabilization and modest erosion, then recovery in late 2024, punctuated by a notable anomaly in mid-2025. The trend suggests that while the company has historically maintained a healthy operating efficiency, recent fluctuations point to increased variability in operational performance relative to asset utilization.
