Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation | Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation Amcor plc ("Amcor" or the "Company") is a global packaging company that employs approximately 50,000 people across approximately 250 sites in more than 40 countries. The Company develops and produces a broad range of packaging products including flexible packaging and rigid packaging containers. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Consistent with these requirements, this Form 10-Q does not include all the information required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. It is management's opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) have been made which are necessary for a fair statement of its financial position, results of operations and cash flows. For further information, this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019. The Company reclassified prior year comparative figures in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows to conform to the current year's presentation. In addition, the Company reclassified certain prior year comparative figures from interest expense to net sales to conform to the current year’s presentation. This change in presentation did not have an impact on the Company’s financial condition or operating results. Significant Accounting Policies The Company's significant accounting policies are described in Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019. Below is the Company's accounting policy regarding highly inflationary accounting. Argentina Highly Inflationary Accounting A highly inflationary economy is defined as an economy with a cumulative inflation rate of approximately 100 percent or more over a three-year period. If a country's economy is classified as highly inflationary, the financial statements of the foreign entity operating in that country must be remeasured to the functional currency of the reporting entity. As of March 31, 2020, the Argentine economy was designated as highly inflationary for accounting purposes. Accordingly, beginning July 1, 2018, the Company began reporting the financial results of its subsidiaries with a functional currency of Argentine Peso at the functional currency of the parent, which is the U.S. Dollar. The transition to highly inflationary accounting resulted in an operating loss of $4.9 million and $23.4 million that was reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020 and $10.5 million and $29.5 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019.
