Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value and are valued using the first-in, first-out method. Management periodically reviews inventory balances, using recent and future expected sales to identify slow-moving and/or obsolete items. The cost of spare parts is charged to cost of goods sold when purchased. We evaluate our reserve for inventory obsolescence on a quarterly basis and review inventory on-hand to determine future salability. We base our determinations on the age of the inventory and the experience of our personnel. We reserve inventory that we deem to be not salable in the quarter in which we make the determination. We believe, based on past history and our policies and procedures, that our net inventory is salable. Inventory as of fiscal 2023 and 2022 was:

Inventories:	2023		2022
Finished goods	$	933	$	1,010
Raw materials		624		792
	$	1,557	$	1,802

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed primarily by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from 15 to 40 years for buildings and improvements, 2 to 20 years for machinery, equipment, and tooling, and over the term of the agreement for capital leases. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the improvement or the lease term. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred. Property, plant and equipment as of fiscal 2023 and 2022 was:

Property, plant and equipment:	2023			2022
Land, buildings and improvements	$	1,693		$	1,602
Equipment and construction in progress		7,570			6,916
		9,263			8,518
Less accumulated depreciation		(4,687	)		(4,176	)

Retirement Plans [Abstract]

Retirement Plans

7. Retirement Plans

The Company sponsors defined contribution retirement plans covering substantially all employees. Contributions are based upon a fixed dollar amount for employees who participate and percentages of employee contributions at specified thresholds. Contribution expense for these plans was $40 million, $42 million, and $45 million for fiscal 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively.

The majority of the North American and UK defined benefit pension plans, which cover certain manufacturing facilities, are closed to future entrants. The assets of all the plans are held in a separate trustee administered fund to meet long-term liabilities for past and present employees. The majority, $63 million, of Mainland Europe’s total underfunded status relates to non-contributory pension plans within our German operations. There is no external funding for these plans although they are secured by insolvency insurance required under German law. In general, the plans provide a fixed retirement benefit not related to salaries and are closed to new entrants.

The net amount of liability recognized is included in Employee Benefit Obligations on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company uses fiscal year end as a measurement date for the retirement plans.

At the end of fiscal 2023, the Company had $112 million of net unrealized losses recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company expects less than $1 million to be realized in fiscal 2024.

The following table presents significant weighted-average assumptions used to determine benefit obligation and benefit cost for the fiscal years ended:

(Percentages)	2023
(Percentages)	North America		UK		Mainland Europe
Weighted-average assumptions:
Discount rate for benefit obligation		5.6		5.5		4.1
Discount rate for net benefit cost		5.1		5.2		3.7
Expected return on plan assets for net benefit costs		6.1		5.7		2.6

(Percentages)	2022
(Percentages)	North America		UK		Mainland Europe
Weighted-average assumptions:
Discount rate for benefit obligation		5.1		5.2		3.6
Discount rate for net benefit cost		2.5		2.1		1.0
Expected return on plan assets for net benefit costs		6.1		4.2		2.1

In evaluating the expected return on plan assets, Berry considered its historical assumptions compared with actual results, an analysis of current market conditions, asset allocations, and the views of advisors. The return on plan assets is derived from target allocations and historical yield by asset type. A one quarter of a percentage point reduction of expected return on pension assets, mortality rate or discount rate applied to the pension liability would result in an immaterial change to the Company’s pension expense.

In accordance with the guidance from the FASB for employers’ disclosure about postretirement benefit plan assets the table below discloses fair values of each pension plan asset category and level within the fair value hierarchy in which it falls. There were no material changes or transfers between level 3 assets and the other levels.

Equity securities and equity-like instruments		41	%		47	%
Debt securities and debt-like		49			45

Other		3			2
Total		100	%		100	%

The Company’s retirement plan assets are invested with the objective of providing the plans the ability to fund current and future benefit payment requirements while minimizing annual Company contributions. The retirement plans held $31 million of the Company’s stock at the end of fiscal 2023. The Company re-addresses the allocation of its investments on a regular basis.

Income Taxes

6. Income Taxes

The Company is being taxed at the U.S. corporate level as a C-Corporation and has provided U.S. Federal, State and foreign income taxes. Significant components of income tax expense for the fiscal years ended are as follows:

	2023			2022			2021

Total deferred		(117	)		(48	)		(73	)
Expense for income taxes	$	133		$	168		$	172

U.S. income from continuing operations before income taxes was $375 million, $449 million, and $276 million for fiscal 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. Non-U.S. income from continuing operations before income taxes was $367 million, $485 million, and $629 million for fiscal 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. The Company paid cash taxes of $240 million, $186 million, and $200 million in fiscal 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively.

The reconciliation between U.S. Federal income taxes at the statutory rate and the Company’s benefit for income taxes on continuing operations for fiscal years ended are as follows:

	2023			2022			2021
U.S. Federal income tax expense at the statutory rate	$	156		$	196		$	190

Other		(2	)		5			(6	)
Expense for income taxes	$	133		$	168		$	172

Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences between the amount of assets and liabilities recognized for financial reporting and tax purposes. The components of the net deferred income tax liability as of fiscal years ended are as follows:

	2023			2022
Deferred tax assets:
Accrued liabilities and reserves	$	72		$	75
Inventories		13			11
Net operating loss carryforward		274			235
Interest expense carryforward		121			107

Total deferred tax assets		740			632
Valuation allowance		(114	)		(104	)
Total deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowance		626			528
Deferred tax liabilities:

Other		22			24
Total deferred tax liabilities		1,107			1,170
Net deferred tax liability	$	(481	)	$	(642	)

The Company had $92 million of net deferred tax assets recorded in Other assets, and $573 million of net deferred tax liabilities recorded in Deferred income taxes on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company has recorded deferred tax assets related to federal, state, and foreign net operating losses, interest expense, and tax credits. These attributes are spread across multiple jurisdictions and generally have expiration periods beginning in 2021 while a portion remains available indefinitely. Each attribute has been assessed for realization and a valuation allowance is recorded against the deferred tax assets to bring the net amount recorded to the amount more likely than not to be realized. The valuation allowance against deferred tax assets was $114 million and $104 million as of the fiscal years ended 2023 and 2022, respectively, related to the foreign and U.S. federal and state operations.

The Company is permanently reinvested except to the extent the foreign earnings are previously taxed or to the extent that we have sufficient basis in our non-U.S. subsidiaries to repatriate earnings on an income tax free basis.

Uncertain Tax Positions

The following table summarizes the activity related to our gross unrecognized tax benefits for fiscal years ended:

	2023			2022
Beginning unrecognized tax benefits	$	121		$	159
Gross increases – tax positions in prior periods		17			2
Gross decreases - tax positions in prior periods		(11	)		(19	)
Gross increases – current period tax positions		12			13
Settlements		—			(9	)
Lapse of statute of limitations		(32	)		(25	)
Ending unrecognized tax benefits	$	107		$	121

As of fiscal year end 2023, the amount of unrecognized tax benefit that, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate was $105 million and we had $33 million accrued for payment of interest and penalties related to our uncertain tax positions. Our penalties and interest related to uncertain tax positions are included in income tax expense.

As a result of global operations, we file income tax returns in the U.S. federal, various state and local, and foreign jurisdictions and are routinely subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. Excluding potential adjustments to net operating losses, the U.S. federal and state income tax returns are no longer subject to income tax assessments for years before 2019. With few exceptions, the major foreign jurisdictions are no longer subject to income tax assessments for year before 2016.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for income taxes. Disclosures may include net deferred tax liability or asset recognized in an enterprise's statement of financial position, net change during the year in the total valuation allowance, approximate tax effect of each type of temporary difference and carryforward that gives rise to a significant portion of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets, utilization of a tax carryback, and tax uncertainties information.

Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]

Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

4. 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 exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currencies. These financial instruments are not used for trading or other speculative purposes. For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, the Company must designate the hedging instrument, based upon the exposure being hedged, as a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge, or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation.

To the extent hedging relationships are found to be effective, changes in the fair value of the derivatives are offset by changes in the fair value of the related hedged item and recorded to Accumulated other comprehensive loss. Changes in the fair value of a derivative not designated as a hedge, are recorded to the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Cross-Currency Swaps

The Company is party to certain cross-currency swaps to hedge a portion of our foreign currency risk. The swap agreements mature June 2024 (€1,625 million) and July 2027 (£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 September 30, 2023, 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 fluctuations associated with our outstanding variable rate term loan debt. When valuing interest rate swaps the Company utilizes Level 2 inputs (substantially observable).

During fiscal 2023, the Company elected to cash settle existing interest rate swaps and received net proceeds of $36 million. 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 settlement, the Company entered into interest rate swaps with matching notional amounts with expiration in June 2026.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company effectively had (i) a $450 million interest rate swap transaction that swaps a one-month variable SOFR contract for a fixed annual rate of 4.043%, (ii) a $400 million interest rate swap transaction that swaps a one-month variable SOFR contract for a fixed annual rate of 4.451%, (iii) an $884 million interest rate swap transaction that swaps a one-month variable SOFR contract for a fixed annual rate of 4.451%, (iv) a $473 million interest rate swap transaction that swaps a one-month variable SOFR contract for a fixed annual rate of 3.869%, and (v) a $500 million interest rate swap transaction that swaps a one-month variable SOFR contract for a fixed annual rate of 3.602%%. The Company's interest rate swap transactions all expire in June 2026. See Note 12. Subsequent Events.

Balances of our derivative instruments on a gross basis are as follows:

Derivative Instruments	Hedge Designation	Balance Sheet Location	2023		2022
Cross-currency swaps	Designated	Other assets	$	—	$	147
Cross-currency swaps	Designated	Other current liabilities		66		—
Cross-currency swaps	Designated	Other long-term liabilities		19		—
Interest rate swaps	Designated	Other assets		36		11
Interest rate swaps	Not designated	Other assets		8		—
Interest rate swaps	Designated	Other long-term liabilities		—		3
Interest rate swaps	Not designated	Other long-term liabilities		104		117

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

Derivative instruments	Statements of Income Location	2023			2022			2021
Cross-currency swaps	Interest expense	$	(41	)	$	(21	)	$	(8	)
Interest rate swaps	Interest expense		(59	)		40			69

The amortization related to unrealized losses in Accumulated other comprehensive loss is expected to be $36 million in the next 12 months. The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, long-term debt, interest rate swap agreements, cross-currency swap agreements and capital lease obligations. The book value of our long-term indebtedness exceeded fair value by $381 million as of fiscal 2023 and by $561 million as of fiscal 2022. The Company’s long-term debt fair values were determined using Level 2 inputs as other significant observable inputs were not available.

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.

Included in the following tables are the major categories of assets and their current carrying values, along with the impairment loss recognized on the fair value measurement for the fiscal years then ended:

	2023
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total		Impairment

1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

Berry Global Group, Inc.’s (“Berry,” “we,” or the “Company”) consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commissions. Periods presented in these financial statements include fiscal periods ending September 30, 2023 (“fiscal 2023”), October 1, 2022 (“fiscal 2022”), and October 2, 2021 (“fiscal 2021”). The Company’s U.S. based results for fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022 are based on a fifty-two week period. Fiscal 2021 was based on a fifty-three week period. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Berry and its subsidiaries, all of which includes our wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries. The Company has certain foreign subsidiaries that report on a calendar period basis which we consolidate into our respective fiscal period. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

During fiscal 2023, the Company announced that it has initiated a formal process to evaluate strategic alternatives for its Health, Hygiene and Specialties segment and has determined the segment does not meet the criteria of Held for Sale as of year end.

Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable

Our revenues are primarily derived from the sale of non-woven, flexible and rigid products. 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 sources of variable consideration are 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 and $103 million at September 30, 2023 and October 1, 2022, respectively, 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. See Note 10. Segment and Geographic Data.

Accounts receivable are presented net of allowance for credit losses of $19 million and $18 million at September 30, 2023 and October 1, 2022, respectively. The Company records 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, primarily 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 trade receivables, net on the consolidated balance sheets and the proceeds are included in the cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed when incurred. The Company incurred research and development expenditures of $82 million, $81 million, and $90 million in fiscal 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company recognized total share-based compensation expense of $42 million, $39 million, and $40 million for fiscal 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. The share-based compensation plan is more fully described in Note 9. Stockholders’ Equity.

Foreign Currency

For the non-U.S. subsidiaries that account in a functional currency other than U.S. dollars, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using period-end exchange rates. Sales and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during the period. Foreign currency translation gains and losses are included as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss within Stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

All highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less from the time of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents.

Long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and definite lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment,” whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Specifically, this process involves comparing an asset’s carrying value to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows the asset is expected to generate over its remaining life. If this process were to result in the conclusion that the carrying value of a long-lived asset would not be recoverable, a write-down of the asset to fair value would be recorded through a charge to operations.

Goodwill

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by reportable segment are as follows:

	Consumer Packaging International			Consumer Packaging North America			Engineered Materials			Health, Hygiene & Specialties			Total
Balance as of fiscal 2021	$	2,016		$	1,541		$	699		$	936		$	5,192
Foreign currency translation adjustment		(250	)		(1	)		(37	)		(18	)		(306	)
Dispositions		(54	)		—			—			—			(54	)
Balance as of fiscal 2022	$	1,712		$	1,540		$	662		$	918		$	4,832
Foreign currency translation adjustment		81			1			17			12			111
Pro-Western acquisition (See Note 2.)		—			38			—			—			38
Balance as of fiscal 2023	$	1,793		$	1,579		$	679		$	930		$	4,981

In fiscal year 2023, the Company completed a qualitative analysis to evaluate impairment of goodwill and concluded that it was more likely than not that the fair value for each reporting unit exceeded the carrying amount. We reached this conclusion based on the stable valuations within the packaging industry and operating results of our reporting units, in addition to value indications provided from third parties related to the Company's evaluation of strategic alternatives for the Health, Hygiene & Specialties segment. As a result of our annual impairment evaluations the Company concluded that no impairment existed in fiscal 2023.

Deferred Financing Fees

Deferred financing fees are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the lives of the respective debt agreements. Pursuant to ASC 835-30, the Company presents $34 million and $60 million as of fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022, respectively, of debt issuance and deferred financing costs on the balance sheet as a deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability, instead of a deferred charge.

Intangible Assets

The changes in the carrying amount of intangible assets are as follows:

	Customer Relationships			Trademarks			Other Intangibles			Accumulated Amortization			Total
Balance as of fiscal 2021	$	3,329		$	525		$	122		$	(1,734	)	$	2,242
Foreign currency translation adjustment		(172	)		(31	)		(1	)		66			(138	)
Amortization expense		—			—			—			(257	)		(257	)
Additions		—			—			6			—			6
Balance as of fiscal 2022	$	3,157		$	494		$	127		$	(1,925	)	$	1,853
Foreign currency translation adjustment		69			12			1			(27	)		55
Amortization expense		—			—			—			(243	)		(243	)

Balance as of fiscal 2023	$	3,261		$	509		$	128		$	(2,195	)	$	1,703

Customer relationships are being amortized using an accelerated amortization method which corresponds with the customer attrition rates used in the initial valuation of the intangibles over the estimated life of the relationships which range from 5 to 17 years. Definite lived trademarks are being amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated life of the assets which are not more than 15 years. Other intangibles, which include technology and licenses, are being amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated life of the assets which range from 5 to 14 years. The Company has trademarks that total $248 million that are indefinite lived and we test annually for impairment on the first day of the fourth quarter. We completed the annual impairment test of our indefinite lived trade names utilizing the qualitative method in 2023, 2022, and 2021 and noted no impairment.

Future amortization expense for definite lived intangibles as of fiscal 2023 for the next five fiscal years is $232 million, $219 million, $204 million, $171 million, and $147 million each year for fiscal years ending 2024, 2025, 2026, 2027, and 2028, respectively.

Insurable Liabilities

The Company records liabilities for the self-insured portion of workers’ compensation, health, product, general and auto liabilities. The determination of these liabilities and related expenses is dependent on claims experience. For most of these liabilities, claims incurred but not yet reported are estimated based upon historical claims experience.

Leases

The Company leases certain manufacturing facilities, warehouses, office space, manufacturing equipment, office equipment, and automobiles. We recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases with original lease terms greater than one year based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term using our incremental borrowing rate on a collateralized basis. Short-term leases, with original lease terms of less than one year, are not recognized on the balance sheet. We are party to certain leases, namely for manufacturing facilities, which offer renewal options to extend the original lease term. Renewal options are included in the right-of-use asset and lease liability based on our assessment of the probability that the options will be exercised. See Note 5. Commitments, Leases and Contingencies.

At September 30, 2023, annual lease commitments were as follows:

Fiscal Year	Operating Leases			Finance Leases
2024	$	117		$	10
2025		106			7

Thereafter		311			3
Total lease payments		782			31
Less: Interest		(141	)		(3	)
Present value of lease liabilities	$	641		$	28

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability approach, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequence of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or income tax returns. Income taxes are recognized during the period in which the underlying transactions are recorded. Deferred taxes, with the exception of non-deductible goodwill, are provided for temporary differences between amounts of assets and liabilities as recorded for financial reporting purposes and such amounts as measured by tax laws. If the Company determines that a deferred tax asset arising from temporary differences is not likely to be utilized, the Company will establish a valuation allowance against that asset to record it at its expected realizable value. The Company recognizes uncertain tax positions when it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by relevant taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company’s effective tax rate is dependent on many factors including: the impact of enacted tax laws in jurisdictions in which the Company operates; the amount of earnings by jurisdiction, due to varying tax rates in each country; and the Company’s ability to utilize foreign tax credits related to foreign taxes paid on foreign earnings that will be remitted to the U.S.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of net income and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) includes net unrealized gains or losses resulting from currency translations of foreign subsidiaries, changes in the value of our derivative instruments and adjustments to the pension liability.

The accumulated balances related to each component of other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax before reclassifications were as follows:

	Currency Translation			Defined Benefit Pension and Retiree Health Benefit Plans			Derivative Instruments			Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
Balance as of fiscal 2020	$	(278	)	$	(116	)	$	(157	)	$	(551	)
Other comprehensive income (loss)		124			(5	)		70			189

Balance as of fiscal 2023	$	(340	)	$	(84	)	$	88		$	(336	)

Pension

The accounting for our pension plans requires us to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of the pension plans on our balance sheet. The selection of assumptions is based on historical trends and known economic and market conditions at the time of valuation, as well as independent studies of trends performed by our actuaries. Pension benefit costs include assumptions for the discount rate, mortality rate, retirement age, and expected return on plan assets. Retiree medical plan costs include assumptions for the discount rate, retirement age, and health-care-cost trend rates. We review annually the discount rate used to calculate the present value of pension plan liabilities. The discount rate used at each measurement date is set based on a high-quality corporate bond yield curve, derived based on bond universe information sourced from reputable third-party indices, data providers, and rating agencies. In countries where there is no deep market in corporate bonds, we have used a government bond approach to set the discount rate. In evaluating other assumptions, the Company considers many factors, including an evaluation of expected return on plan assets and the health-care-cost trend rates of other companies; historical assumptions compared with actual results; an analysis of current market conditions and asset allocations; and the views of advisers.

Net Income Per Share

The Company calculates basic net income per share based on the weighted-average number of outstanding common shares. The Company calculates diluted net income per share based on the weighted-average number of outstanding common shares plus the effect of dilutive securities.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make extensive use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of sales and expenses. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Changes in estimates are recorded in results of operations in the period that the event or circumstances giving rise to such changes occur.

Stockholders' Equity [Abstract]

Stockholders' Equity

9. Stockholders’ Equity

Share Repurchases

During fiscal 2023, the Company repurchased approximately 9.8 million shares for $601 million, at an average price of $61.00. During fiscal 2022, the Company repurchased approximately 12.2 million shares for $709 million, at an average price of $58.30. No shares were repurchased during fiscal 2021.

All share repurchases were immediately retired. Common stock was reduced by the number of shares retired at $0.01 par value per share. The Company allocates the excess purchase price over par value between additional paid-in capital and retained earnings. As of fiscal 2023, authorized repurchases of $442 million remain available to the Company.

Equity Incentive Plans

The Company has shareholder-approved stock plans under which options and restricted stock units have been granted to employees at the market value of the Company's stock on the date of grant. In fiscal 2021, the Company amended the 2015 Berry Global Group, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan to authorize the issuance of 20.8 million shares, an increase of 8.3 million shares from the previous authorization. The intrinsic value of options exercised in fiscal 2023 was $27 million.

Information related to the equity incentive plans as of the fiscal years ended are as follows:

	2023					2022
	Number of Shares (in thousands)			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Number of Shares (in thousands)			Weighted Average Exercise Price
Options outstanding, beginning of period		11,656		$	47.33		11,302		$	44.54
Options granted		1,343			56.93		1,192			66.47
Options exercised		(1,041	)		35.85		(752	)		35.31
Options forfeited or cancelled		(122	)		53.96		(86	)		51.72
Options outstanding, end of period		11,836		$	49.36		11,656		$	47.33

Option price range at end of period	$	21.00-66.47				$	16.00-66.47
Options exercisable at end of period		7,349					6,718
Weighted average fair value of options granted during period	$	17.53				$	20.73

Generally, options vest annually in equal installments commencing one year from the date of grant and have a vesting term of either four or five years, depending on the grant date, and an expiration term of 10 years from the date of grant. The fair value for options granted has been estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes model using the following key assumptions:

	2023			2022			2021
Risk-free interest rate		3.8	%		1.3	%		0.5	%
Dividend yield		1.7	%		0.0	%		0.0	%
Volatility factor		31.0	%		29.7	%		30.4	%

The following table summarizes information about the options outstanding as of fiscal 2023:

Intrinsic Value of Outstanding (in millions)			Weighted Remaining Contractual Life		Number Exercisable (in thousands)				Intrinsic Value of Exercisable (in millions)				Unrecognized Compensation (in millions)			Weighted Recognition Period
$	154		5.7 years			7,349			$	117			$	43		1.4 years

The Company's issued restricted stock units generally vest in equal installments over four years. Compensation cost is recorded based upon the fair value of the shares at the grant date.

	2023					2022
	Number of Shares (in thousands)			Weighted Average Grant Price		Number of Shares (in thousands)			Weighted Average Grant Price
Awards outstanding, beginning of period		354		$	61.99		196		$	54.22
Awards granted		434			56.93		232			66.47
Awards vested		(105	)		61.46		(64	)		54.70
Awards forfeited or cancelled		(23	)		59.75		(10	)		60.30
Awards outstanding, end of period		660		$	58.82		354		$	61.99

The Company had equity incentive shares available for grant of 5.0 million and 7.1 million as of September 30, 2023 and October 1, 2022, respectively.

Acquisition	2. Acquisition Pro-Western Plastics During fiscal 2023, the Company acquired Pro-Western Plastics Ltd. (“Pro-Western”), a leading plastics injection molding company, for a purchase price of $87 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 estimates of fair value at the acquisition date. The results of Pro-Western have been included in the consolidated results of the Company since the date of acquisition. The Company has recognized goodwill on this transaction primarily as a result of expected cost synergies and expects goodwill to be deductible for tax purposes.

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Net Income per Share

11. Net Income 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:

(in millions, except per share amounts)	2023		2022		2021
Numerator
Consolidated net income	$	609	$	766	$	733
Denominator
Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic		120.1		130.6		134.6
Dilutive shares		2.9		2.2		3.7
Weighted average common and common equivalent shares outstanding - diluted		123.0		132.8		138.3

Per common share earnings
Basic	$	5.07	$	5.87	$	5.45
Diluted	$	4.95	$	5.77	$	5.30

1 million shares were excluded from the fiscal 2023 and 2022 diluted EPS calculation, respectively, as their effect would be anti-dilutive. No shares were excluded from the fiscal 2021 calculation.

In the current fiscal year, the Company initiated cost savings initiatives including plant rationalization in all four segments as part of the 2023 restructuring plan. The Company expects total cash and non-cash expense to be approximately $200 million, with the operations savings intended to counter general economic softness. The initiatives are expected to be fully implemented by the end of fiscal 2025. During fiscal 2021 and 2022, the Company did not shut down any facilities with significant net sales.

Berry Global, Inc. Senior Secured Credit Facility

Our wholly owned subsidiary Berry Global, Inc.’s senior secured credit facilities consist of $3.1 billion of term loans and a $1.0 billion asset-based revolving line of credit. The availability under the revolving line of credit is the lesser of $1.0 billion or based on a defined borrowing base which is calculated based on available accounts receivable and inventory. At the end of fiscal 2023, the Company had unused borrowing capacity of $760 million under the revolving line of credit.

The term loan facility is payable upon maturity. The Company may voluntarily repay outstanding loans under the senior secured credit facilities at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary “breakage” costs with respect to eurodollar loans. All obligations under the senior secured credit facilities are unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and, subject to certain exceptions, each of the Company’s existing and future direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries. The guarantees of those obligations are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets as well as those of each domestic subsidiary guarantor.

Despite not having financial maintenance covenants, our debt agreements contain certain negative covenants. We are in compliance with all covenants as of September 30, 2023. The failure to comply with these negative covenants could restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness, effect acquisitions, enter into certain significant business combinations, make distributions or redeem indebtedness.

Future maturities of long-term debt as of fiscal year end 2023 are as follows:

Fiscal Year	Maturities
