The financial leverage ratio of Amcor PLC exhibits notable fluctuations over the five-year period from June 30, 2021, to June 30, 2025. Starting at 3.61 in 2021, it increases substantially to 4.27 in 2022, indicating an escalation in the company's reliance on debt relative to its equity during that period. The ratio remains relatively stable in 2023 at 4.22, suggesting a maintenance of leverage levels, followed by a slight increase to 4.26 in 2024, which continues to reflect a high degree of leverage.
However, a significant decrease is observed in 2025 when the ratio drops to 3.16. This reduction indicates a deliberate decrease in the company's financial leverage, potentially through debt repayment, equity infusion, or a combination of both, which results in a lower debt burden relative to equity. Overall, the pattern suggests that Amcor PLC experienced increased leverage through 2022 and 2024, with a notable reduction by 2025, indicating a strategic shift toward a less leveraged capital structure, possibly aimed at reducing financial risk or optimizing capital costs.
