Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

(tables in millions of dollars, except per share data)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of Berry Global Group, Inc. (“the Company,” “we,” or “Berry”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") for interim reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, we must make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included, and all subsequent events up to the time of the filing have been evaluated. For further information, refer to the Company’s most recent Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

2. Revenue and Accounts Receivable

Our revenues are primarily derived from the sale of non-woven, flexible and rigid products to customers. 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 source of variable consideration is 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 at both June 29, 2024 and September 30, 2023, 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. Refer to Note 10. Segment and Geographic Data for further information.

Accounts receivable are presented net of allowance for credit losses of $19 million at both June 29, 2024 and September 30, 2023. The Company records its 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.

The Company has entered into various factoring agreements, including customer-based supply chain financing programs, 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 accounts receivable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the proceeds are included in the Cash Flows from Operating Activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The fees associated with the transfer of receivables for all programs were not material for any of the periods presented.

3. Acquisition

In April 2024, the Company acquired F&S Tool Inc. (“F&S”), a leading manufacturer of high output, high efficiency injection molding applications, for a purchase price of $68 million. The acquired business is operated within the Consumer Packaging North America segment. To finance the purchase, the Company used existing liquidity. The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the identifiable assets and liabilities based on preliminary values at the acquisition date. The Company has recognized $48 million of goodwill on this transaction primarily as a result of expected cost synergies and does not expect goodwill to be deductible for tax purposes.

4. Divestitures and Spin-off

During fiscal 2024, the Company completed the sale of its Strata and Promens Vehicles businesses, which were operated in the Consumer Packaging International segment for net proceeds of $25 million and $22 million, respectively. In fiscal 2023, the Strata business recorded net sales of $56 million and Promens Vehicles recorded $111 million.

Index

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”). Upon the completion of the transaction, shareholders of Berry will own approximately ninety percent of the new combined company in addition to their continuing interest in Berry. The transaction is subject to certain customary closing conditions including, but not limited to, approval by GLT shareholders and, the effective filing of related registration statements.

5. Restructuring and Transaction Activities

During fiscal 2023, the Company announced several plant rationalizations in all four segments in order to deliver cost savings and optimize equipment utilization. Over the duration of the plan, these plant rationalizations and other cost reduction actions are projected to cost approximately $250 million with the operations savings intended to counter general economic softness. The plant rationalizations are expected to be fully implemented by the end of fiscal 2025.

The table below includes the significant components of our restructuring and transaction activities, by reporting segment:

	Quarterly Period Ended				Three Quarterly Periods Ended				Restructuring Plans

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, net on the Consolidated Statements of Income through maturity.

8. 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 market risk and reduce the exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currencies. These financial instruments are not used for trading or other speculative purposes.

Cross-Currency Swaps

The Company is party to certain cross-currency swaps to hedge a portion of our foreign currency risk. During the quarter, the Company repriced and extended all of its existing cross-currency swaps, which now mature June 2026 (€1,625 million and £700 million). 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 June 29, 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 variability associated with our outstanding variable rate term loan debt. When valuing interest rate swaps the Company utilizes Level 2 inputs (substantially observable).

Index

During fiscal 2024, the Company received net proceeds of $27 million related to the settlement of existing interest rate swaps. 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 transactions, the Company entered into a $450 million interest rate swap transaction, a $500 million interest rate swap transaction and extended an existing $400 million agreement all with expirations in June 2029.

As of June 29, 2024, the Company effectively had (i) a $400 million interest rate swap transaction that swaps a one-month variable SOFR contract for a fixed annual rate of 4.008%, with an expiration in June 2029 (ii) a $450 million interest rate swap transaction that swaps a one-month variable SOFR contract for a fixed annual rate of 4.553%, with an expiration in June 2029, and (iii) a $500 million interest rate swap transaction that swaps a one-month variable SOFR contract for a fixed annual rate of 4.648%, with an expiration in June 2029.

The Company records the fair value positions of all derivative financial instruments on a net basis by counterparty for which a master netting arrangement is utilized. Balances on a gross basis are as follows:

Derivative Instruments	Hedge Designation	Balance Sheet Location	June 29, 2024		September 30, 2023
Cross-currency swaps	Designated	Other current liabilities		—		66
Cross-currency swaps	Designated	Other long-term liabilities		165		19
Interest rate swaps	Designated	Other long-term assets		—		36
Interest rate swaps	Designated	Other long-term liabilities		26		—
Interest rate swaps	Not designated	Other long-term assets		5		8
Interest rate swaps	Not designated	Other long-term liabilities		75		104

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

		Quarterly Period Ended						Three Quarterly Periods Ended
Derivative Instruments	Statements of Income Location	June 29, 2024			July 1, 2023			June 29, 2024			July 1, 2023
Cross-currency swaps	Interest expense	$	(8	)	$	(10	)	$	(28	)	$	(31	)
Interest rate swaps	Interest expense		(20	)		(21	)		(62	)		(38	)

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. These assets that are subject to our annual impairment analysis primarily include our definite lived and indefinite lived intangible assets, including Goodwill and our property, plant and equipment. The Company reviews Goodwill and other indefinite lived assets for impairment as of the first day of the fourth fiscal quarter each year and more frequently if impairment indicators exist. The Company determined Goodwill and other indefinite lived assets were not impaired in our annual fiscal 2023 assessment. No impairment indicators were identified in the current quarter.

Included in the following table are the major categories of assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of June 29, 2024 and September 30, 2023, along with the impairment loss recognized on the fair value measurement during the period:

	As of June 29, 2024

Index

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, long-term debt, interest rate and cross-currency swap agreements, and finance lease obligations. The book value of our marketable long-term indebtedness exceeded fair value by $215 million as of June 29, 2024. The Company’s long-term debt fair values were determined using Level 2 inputs (substantially observable).

9. Income Taxes

On a year-to-date comparison to the statutory rate, the lower effective tax rate was positively impacted by foreign rate differential and other discrete items.

10. Segment and Geographic Data

The Company’s operations are organized into four reporting segments: Consumer Packaging International, Consumer Packaging North America, Health, Hygiene & Specialties, and Flexibles. The structure is designed to align us with our customers, provide improved service, drive future growth, and to facilitate synergies realization.

11. Contingencies and Commitments

The Company is party to various legal proceedings involving routine claims which are incidental to its business. Although the Company’s legal and financial liability with respect to such proceedings cannot be estimated with certainty, we believe that any ultimate liability would not be material to our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company has various purchase commitments for raw materials, supplies, and property and equipment incidental to the ordinary conduct of business.

12. Basic and Diluted Earnings 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:

	Quarterly Period Ended				Three Quarterly Periods Ended
(in millions, except per share amounts)	June 29, 2024		July 1, 2023		June 29, 2024		July 1, 2023
Numerator
Consolidated net income	$	193	$	143	$	368	$	423
Denominator
Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic		114.5		118.7		115.2		121.0
Dilutive shares		2.2		2.4		3.0		0.9
Weighted average common and common equivalent shares outstanding - diluted		116.7		121.1		118.2		121.9

Per common share earnings
Basic	$	1.69	$	1.20	$	3.19	$	3.50
Diluted	$	1.65	$	1.18	$	3.11	$	3.47

2.2 million and 2.3 million shares were excluded from the diluted EPS calculation for the quarterly and three quarterly periods ended June 29, 2024 as their effect would be anti-dilutive. 1.2 million and 1.5 million shares were excluded for the quarterly and three quarterly periods ended July 1, 2023.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Executive Summary

Business. The Company’s operations are organized into four operating segments: Consumer Packaging International, Consumer Packaging North America, Health, Hygiene & Specialties, and Flexibles. The structure is designed to align us with our customers, provide improved service, drive future growth, and to facilitate synergies realization. The Consumer Packaging International segment primarily consists of closures and dispensing systems, pharmaceutical devices and packaging, bottles and canisters, and containers. The Consumer Packaging North America segment primarily consists of containers and pails, foodservice, closures, bottles, prescription vials, and tubes. The Health, Hygiene & Specialties segment primarily consists of healthcare, hygiene, specialties, and tapes. The Flexibles segment primarily consists of stretch and shrink films, converter films, institutional can liners, food and consumer films, retail bags, and agriculture films.

Raw Material Trends. Our primary raw material is polymer resin. In addition, we use other materials such as colorants, linerboard, and packaging materials in various manufacturing processes. While temporary industry-wide shortages of raw materials have occurred, we have historically been able to manage the supply chain disruption by working closely with our suppliers and customers. Changes in the price of raw materials are generally passed on to customers through contractual price mechanisms over time, during contract renewals and other means.

Outlook. The Company is affected by general economic and industrial growth, raw material availability, cost inflation, supply chain disruptions, and general industrial production. Our business has both geographic and end market diversity, which reduces the effect of any one of these factors on our overall performance. Our results are affected by our ability to pass through raw material and other cost changes to our customers, improve manufacturing productivity, and adapt to volume changes of our customers. Despite global macro-economic challenges in the short-term attributed to continued rising inflation and general market softness, we continue to believe our underlying long-term fundamentals in all divisions remain strong. For fiscal 2024, we project cash flow from operations of $1.4 billion and free cash flow of $800 million. Projected fiscal 2024 free cash flow assumes $600 million of capital spending. For the calculation of free cash flow and further information related to free cash flow as a non-GAAP financial measure, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Quarterly Period Ended June 29, 2024 (the “Quarter”) and the Quarterly Period Ended July 1, 2023 (the “Prior Quarter”)

Business integration expenses consist of restructuring and impairment charges, acquisition and divestiture related costs, and other business optimization costs. Tables present dollars in millions.

Consolidated Overview
	Quarter		Prior Quarter		$ Change			% Change
Net sales	$	3,161	$	3,229	$	(68	)		(2	)%
Cost of goods sold		2,560		2,649		(89	)		(3	)%
Other operating expenses		298		313		(15	)		(5	)%
Operating income	$	303	$	267	$	36			13	%

Net Sales: The net sales decline is primarily attributed to decreased selling prices of $94 million due to the pass through of lower polymer costs, partially offset by 2% organic volume growth.

Cost of goods sold: The cost of goods sold decrease is primarily attributed to lower raw material prices, partially offset by increased costs associated with increased volumes.

Other operating expenses: The other operating expenses decrease is primarily attributed to higher business integration costs in the Prior Quarter from the 2023 cost savings initiative.

Operating Income: The operating income increase is primarily attributed to a $10 million favorable impact from volume increases, a $10 million favorable impact from price cost spread and a $13 million decline in business integration expenses.

Consumer Packaging International
	Quarter		Prior Quarter		$ Change			% Change
Net sales	$	959	$	1,036	$	(77	)		(7	)%
Operating income	$	79	$	68	$	11			16	%

Net sales: The net sales decline in the Consumer Packaging International segment is primarily attributed to decreased selling prices of $61 million from lower raw material costs and a $20 million decline from divestures, partially offset by 1% organic volume growth.

Operating income: The operating income increase is primarily attributed to $3 million impact from price cost spread and a $6 million decline in business integration expenses.

Operating income	$	103	$	89	$	14		16	%

Net sales: The net sales increase in the Consumer Packaging North America segment is primarily attributed to 2% organic volume growth and higher selling prices of $12 million as a result of improved product mix.

Operating income: The operating income increase is primarily attributed to a $7 million favorable impact from price cost spread and a favorable impact from organic volume growth.

Health, Hygiene & Specialties
	Quarter		Prior Quarter		$ Change			% Change
Net sales	$	647	$	657	$	(10	)		(2	)%
Operating income	$	34	$	22	$	12			55	%

Net sales: The net sales decline in the Health, Hygiene & Specialties segment is primarily attributed to decreased selling prices of $17 million, partially offset by 2% organic volume growth.

Operating income: The operating income increase is primarily attributed to a $7 million decline in business integration expenses and a favorable impact from organic volume growth.

Flexibles
	Quarter		Prior Quarter		$ Change			% Change
Net sales	$	724	$	738	$	(14	)		(2	)%
Operating income	$	87	$	88	$	(1	)		(1	)%

Net sales: The net sales decline in the Flexibles segment is primarily attributed to decreased selling prices of $28 million, partially offset by 2% organic volume growth.

Operating income: The operating income decrease is primarily attributed a $3 million increase in depreciation and amortization, partially offset by the favorable impact from organic volume growth.

Changes in Comprehensive Income

The $73 million decline in comprehensive income from the Prior Quarter is primarily attributed to a $86 million unfavorable change in currency translation and a $37 million unfavorable change in the fair value of derivative instruments, net of tax, partially offset by a $50 million improvement in net income. Currency translation changes are primarily related to non-U.S. subsidiaries with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar whereby assets and liabilities are translated from the respective functional currency into U.S. dollars using period-end exchange rates. The change in currency translation in the Quarter was primarily attributed to locations utilizing the Euro and British pound sterling as their functional currency. As part of the overall risk management, the Company uses derivative instruments to (i) reduce our exposure to changes in interest rates attributed to the Company’s borrowings and (ii) reduce foreign currency exposure to translation of certain foreign operations. The Company records changes to the fair value of these instruments in Accumulated other comprehensive loss. The change in fair value of these instruments in fiscal 2024 versus fiscal 2023 is primarily attributed to the change in the forward interest and foreign exchange curves between measurement dates.

Changes in Comprehensive Income

The $337 million decline in comprehensive income from the Prior YTD was primarily attributed to a $218 million unfavorable change in currency translation, a $64 million unfavorable change in the fair value of derivative instruments, net of tax, and a $55 million decline in net income. Currency translation changes are primarily related to non-U.S. subsidiaries with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar whereby assets and liabilities are translated from the respective functional currency into U.S. dollars using period-end exchange rates. The change in currency translation in the YTD was primarily attributed to locations utilizing the Euro and British pound sterling as their functional currency. As part of the overall risk management, the Company uses derivative instruments to (i) reduce our exposure to changes in interest rates attributed to the Company’s borrowings and (ii) reduce foreign currency exposure to translation of certain foreign operations. The Company records changes to the fair value of these instruments in Accumulated other comprehensive loss. The change in fair value of these instruments in fiscal 2024 versus fiscal 2023 is primarily attributed to the change in the forward interest and foreign exchange curves between measurement dates.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Senior Secured Credit Facility

We manage our global cash requirements considering (i) available funds among the many subsidiaries through which we conduct business, (ii) the geographic location of our liquidity needs, and (iii) the cost to access international cash balances. At the end of the Quarter, the Company had no outstanding balance on its $1,000 million asset-based revolving line of credit that matures in June 2028. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at the end of the Quarter.

Cash Flows

Net cash from operating activities decreased $193 million from the Prior YTD primarily attributed to higher working capital partially offset by a decline in net income prior to non-cash activities.

Net cash from investing activities decreased $154 million from the Prior YTD primarily attributed to the proceeds from business divestitures in the YTD and a decrease in capital spend.

Net cash from financing activities decreased $165 million from the Prior YTD primarily attributed to lower share repurchases partially offset by higher repayments of long-term debt in the YTD.

Index

Dividend Payments

The Company declared and paid a cash dividend of $0.275 per share during each of the first three quarters of fiscal 2024.

Share Repurchases

YTD fiscal 2024, the Company repurchased approximately 2.0 million shares for $117 million. Authorized share repurchases of $324 million remain available to the Company.

Free Cash Flow

Our consolidated free cash flow for the YTD and Prior YTD are summarized as follows:

	June 29, 2024			July 1, 2023
Cash flow from operating activities	$	297		$	490
Additions to property, plant and equipment, net		(473	)		(560	)
Free cash flow	$	(176	)	$	(70	)

We use free cash flow as a supplemental measure of liquidity as it assists us in assessing our ability to fund growth through generation of cash. Free cash flow may be calculated differently by other companies, including other companies in our industry or peer group, limiting its usefulness on a comparative basis. Free cash flow is not a financial measure presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and should not be considered as an alternative to any other measure determined in accordance with GAAP.

Liquidity Outlook

At June 29, 2024, our cash balance was $509 million, which was primarily located outside the U.S. We believe our existing U.S. based cash and cash flow from U.S. operations, together with available borrowings under our senior secured credit facilities, will be adequate to meet our short-term and long-term liquidity needs with the exception of funds needed to cover all long-term debt obligations, which we intend to refinance prior to maturity. The Company has the ability to repatriate the cash located outside the U.S. to the extent not needed to meet operational and capital needs without significant restrictions.

Summarized Guarantor Financial Information

Berry Global, Inc. (“Issuer”) has notes outstanding which are fully, jointly, severally, and unconditionally guaranteed by its parent, Berry Global Group, Inc. (for purposes of this section, “Parent”) and substantially all of Issuer’s domestic subsidiaries. Separate narrative information or financial statements of the guarantor subsidiaries have not been included because they are 100% owned by Parent and the guarantor subsidiaries unconditionally guarantee such debt on a joint and several basis. A guarantee of a guarantor subsidiary of the securities will terminate upon the following customary circumstances: the sale of the capital stock of such guarantor if such sale complies with the indentures, the designation of such guarantor as an unrestricted subsidiary, the defeasance or discharge of the indenture or in the case of a restricted subsidiary that is required to guarantee after the relevant issuance date, if such guarantor no longer guarantees certain other indebtedness of Issuer. The guarantees of the guarantor subsidiaries are also limited as necessary to prevent them from constituting a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law and any guarantees guaranteeing subordinated debt are subordinated to certain other of the Company’s debts. Parent also guarantees Issuer’s term loans and revolving credit facilities. The guarantor subsidiaries guarantee our term loans and are co-borrowers under our revolving credit facility.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates primarily through our senior secured credit facilities and accounts receivable supply chain finance factoring programs. Our senior secured credit facilities are comprised of (i) $2.0 billion term loans and (ii) a $1.0 billion revolving credit facility with no borrowings outstanding. Borrowings under our senior secured credit facilities bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus SOFR. The applicable margin for SOFR rate borrowings under the revolving credit facility ranges from 1.25% to 1.50%, and the margin for the term loans is 1.75% per annum. As of period end, the SOFR rate of approximately 5.33% was applicable to the term loans. A change of 0.25% on these floating interest rate exposures would increase our annual interest expense by approximately $3 million.

We seek to minimize interest rate volatility risk through regular operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. These financial instruments are not used for trading or other speculative purposes. (See Note 8.)

Foreign Currency Risk

As a global company, we face foreign currency risk exposure from fluctuating currency exchange rates, primarily the U.S. dollar against the euro, British pound sterling, Brazilian real, Chinese renminbi, Canadian dollar and Mexican peso. Significant fluctuations in currency rates can have a substantial impact, either positive or negative, on our revenue, cost of sales, and operating expenses. Currency translation gains and losses are primarily related to non-U.S. subsidiaries with a functional currency other than U.S. dollars whereby assets and liabilities are translated from the respective functional currency into U.S. dollars using period-end exchange rates and impact our Comprehensive income. A 10% decline in foreign currency exchange rates would have had a $9 million unfavorable impact on our Net income for the three quarterly periods ended June 29, 2024. (See Note 8.)

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

Under applicable Securities and Exchange Commission regulations, management of a reporting company, with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, must periodically evaluate the company’s “disclosure controls and procedures,” which are defined generally as controls and other procedures of a reporting company designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the reporting company in its periodic reports filed with the commission (such as this Form 10-Q) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported on a timely basis.

Index

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by this report.

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

There have been no material changes in legal proceedings from the items disclosed in our most recent Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Before investing in our securities, we recommend that investors carefully consider the risks described in our most recent Form 10-K and subsequent periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including those under the heading “Risk Factors” and other information contained in this Quarterly Report. Realization of any of these risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

Additionally, we caution readers that the list of risk factors discussed in our most recent Form 10-K and subsequent periodic reports may not contain all of the material factors that are important to you. In addition, in light of these risks and uncertainties, the matters referred to in the forward-looking statements contained in this report may not in fact occur. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on those statements.

Basis of Presentation	Jun. 29, 2024
Basis of Presentation [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	1. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of Berry Global Group, Inc. (“the Company,” “we,” or “Berry”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") for interim reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, we must make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included, and all subsequent events up to the time of the filing have been evaluated. For further information, refer to the Company’s most recent Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

Revenue and Accounts Receivable	9 Months Ended
Revenue and Accounts Receivable	Jun. 29, 2024
Revenue and Accounts Receivable [Abstract]
Revenue	2. Revenue and Accounts Receivable Our revenues are primarily derived from the sale of non-woven, flexible and rigid products to customers. 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 source of variable consideration is 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 at both June 29, 2024 and September 30, 2023, 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. Refer to Note 10. Segment and Geographic Data for further information.
Accounts Receivable	Accounts receivable are presented net of allowance for credit losses of $19 million at both June 29, 2024 and September 30, 2023. The Company records its 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. The Company has entered into various factoring agreements, including customer-based supply chain financing programs, 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 accounts receivable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the proceeds are included in the Cash Flows from Operating Activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The fees associated with the transfer of receivables for all programs were not material for any of the periods presented.

(“F&S”), a leading manufacturer of high output, high efficiency injection molding applications, for a purchase price of $68 million. The acquired business is operated within the Consumer Packaging North America segment. To finance the purchase, the Company used existing liquidity. The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the identifiable assets and liabilities based on preliminary values at the acquisition date. The Company has recognized $48 million of goodwill on this transaction primarily as a result of expected cost synergies and does not expect goodwill to be deductible for tax purposes.
