  • 3Q14 Net sales grew approximately 4 percent to $1.56 billion

GLENDALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 24, 2014-- Avery Dennison Corporation (NYSE:AVY) today announced preliminary, unaudited results for its third quarter ended September 27, 2014. All non-GAAP financial measures referenced in this document are reconciled to GAAP in the attached tables. Unless otherwise indicated, the discussion of the company's results is focused on its continuing operations, and comparisons are to the same period in the prior year.

"Third quarter EPS was in line with our expectations, despite a modest decline in sales in Retail Branding and Information Solutions, and higher-than-expected transition costs associated with the consolidation of Pressure-sensitive Materials operations in Europe," said Dean A. Scarborough, Avery Dennison chairman, president and CEO.

"We expect to deliver improved operational performance in the fourth quarter, with a reduction in the transition costs impacting PSM," said Scarborough. "However, given recent top-line trends and headwinds from currency, we have modestly lowered our guidance for full-year adjusted earnings per share growth to approximately 13 percent. Meanwhile, we continue to execute our disciplined capital allocation strategy, reflected in the increased level of share repurchase during the past quarter."

For more details on the company's results, see the summary table accompanying this news release, as well as the supplemental presentation materials, "Third Quarter 2014 Financial Review and Analysis," posted on the company's website at www.investors.averydennison.com, and furnished to the SEC on Form 8-K.

Third Quarter 2014 Results by Segment

All references to sales reflect comparisons on an organic basis, which exclude the estimated impact of currency translation, product line exits, acquisitions and divestitures, and, where applicable, the extra week in the fiscal year. Adjusted operating margin refers to income before interest expense and taxes, excluding restructuring costs and other items, as a percentage of sales.

Pressure-sensitive Materials (PSM)

  • PSM segment sales increased approximately 5 percent. Within the segment, Label and Packaging Materials sales increased mid-single digits. Combined sales for Graphics, Reflective, and Performance Tapes also increased mid-single digits.
  • Operating margin declined 10 basis points to 10.1 percent as the net impact of raw material input costs and pricing, transition costs in Europe, and country and product mix roughly offset the benefit of higher volume and productivity. Wage inflation was largely offset by lower incentive compensation. Adjusted operating margin declined 20 basis points.

Retail Branding and Information Solutions (RBIS)

  • RBIS segment sales were down approximately 2 percent, reflecting softer demand from U.S.-based apparel retailers and brands.
  • Operating margin improved 220 basis points to 5.4 percent as the benefit of productivity, lower restructuring costs, and lower incentive compensation more than offset the impact of wage inflation and lower volume. Adjusted operating margin improved 80 basis points.

Other

Share Repurchases

The company repurchased 5 million shares in the first three quarters of 2014 at an aggregate cost of $247 million.

Discontinued Operations

On July 1, 2013, the company completed the sale of its OCP and DES businesses.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rates for the third quarter and year-to-date were 36 percent and 32 percent, respectively. The adjusted tax rate for both the third quarter and year-to-date was 33 percent.

Cost Reduction Actions

In the third quarter, the company realized approximately $7 million in savings from restructuring, net of transition costs, and incurred restructuring costs of approximately $7 million. The company expects to incur cash restructuring costs of approximately $55 million in 2014.

Outlook

In its supplemental presentation materials, "Third Quarter 2014 Financial Review and Analysis," the company provides a list of factors that it believes will contribute to its 2014 financial results. Based on the factors listed and other assumptions, the company expects 2014 earnings per share from continuing operations of $2.60 to $2.65. Excluding an estimated $0.40 per share for restructuring costs and other items, the company expects adjusted (non-GAAP) earnings per share from continuing operations of $3.00 to $3.05.

Note: Throughout this release and the supplemental presentation materials, amounts on a per share basis reflect fully diluted shares outstanding.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures in Accordance with SEC Regulations G and S-K
We report financial results in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, and also communicate with investors using certain non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for or superior to, the comparable GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are intended to supplement presentation of our financial results that are prepared in accordance with GAAP. Based upon feedback from investors and financial analysts, we believe that supplemental non-GAAP financial measures provide information that is useful to the assessment of our performance and operating trends, as well as liquidity.

Our non-GAAP financial measures exclude the impact of certain events, activities, or strategic decisions. The accounting effects of these events, activities or decisions, which are included in the GAAP financial measures, may make it difficult to assess our underlying performance in a single period. By excluding the accounting effects, both positive and negative, of certain items (e.g., restructuring costs, asset impairments, legal settlements, certain effects of strategic transactions and related costs, losses from debt extinguishments, losses from curtailment and settlement of pension obligations, gains or losses on sale of certain assets, and other items), we believe that we are providing meaningful supplemental information to facilitate an understanding of our core operating results and liquidity measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are used internally to evaluate trends in our underlying performance, as well as to facilitate comparison to the results of competitors for a single period. While some of the items we exclude from GAAP financial measures recur, they tend to be disparate in amount, frequency, or timing.

We use the following non-GAAP financial measures in the accompanying news release and presentation:
Organic sales change refers to the increase or decrease in sales excluding the estimated impact of currency translation, product line exits, acquisitions and divestitures, and, where applicable, the extra week in the fiscal year.
Adjusted operating margin refers to income from continuing operations before interest expense and taxes, excluding restructuring costs and other items, as a percentage of sales.
Adjusted tax rate refers to the anticipated full year GAAP tax rate adjusted for certain events.
Adjusted income from continuing operations refers to reported income from continuing operations adjusted for tax-effected restructuring costs and other items.
Adjusted EPS refers to reported income from continuing operations per common share, assuming dilution, adjusted for tax-effected restructuring costs and other items.
Free cash flow refers to cash flow from operations, less payments for property, plant and equipment, software and other deferred charges, plus proceeds from sales of property, plant and equipment, plus (minus) net proceeds from sales (purchases) of investments, plus discretionary contributions to pension plans and charitable contribution to Avery Dennison Foundation utilizing proceeds from divestitures. Free cash flow excludes uses of cash that do not directly or immediately support the underlying business, such as discretionary debt reductions, dividends, share repurchases, and certain effects of acquisitions and divestitures (e.g., cash flow from discontinued operations, taxes, and transaction costs).
The reconciliations set forth below and in the accompanying presentation are provided in accordance with Regulations G and S-K and reconcile our non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
