Avery Dennison Corporation today announced preliminary, unaudited results for its second quarter ended July 2, 2016

OREANDA-NEWS. Avery Dennison Corporation (NYSE:AVY) today announced preliminary, unaudited results for its second quarter ended July 2, 2016. All non-GAAP financial measures referenced in this document are reconciled to GAAP in the attached tables. Unless otherwise indicated, comparisons are to the same period in the prior year.

“We had another solid quarter, with earnings above our expectations,” said Mitch Butier, Avery Dennison president and CEO. “PSM delivered exceptional profitability, reflecting strong organic growth in the emerging markets, and productivity gains globally,” Butier added. “Amidst challenging apparel market conditions, RBIS earnings came in as expected. The team continues to make good progress with the transformation of this business.

“We have raised our outlook for full year earnings per share, reflecting the strong operating performance in the second quarter,” said Butier. “We remain confident that the consistent execution of our strategies will enable us to continue meeting our long-term goals for superior value creation through a balance of profitable growth and capital discipline."

Second Quarter 2016 Results by Segment

Organic sales change refers to the increase or decrease in sales excluding the estimated impact of currency translation, product line exits, and acquisitions and divestitures. Adjusted operating margin refers to income before interest expense and taxes, excluding restructuring charges and other items, as a percentage of sales.

Pressure-sensitive Materials (PSM)

• PSM reported sales increased approximately 3 percent; on an organic basis, sales grew approximately 5 percent. Within the segment, organic sales growth was mid-single digit for Label and Packaging Materials, and low-single digit for combined Graphics and Performance Tapes.
• Operating margin improved 130 basis points to 13 percent as the benefit of productivity initiatives and increased volume more than offset higher employee-related costs and the net impact of price and raw material input costs. Adjusted operating margin improved 120 basis points.

Retail Branding and Information Solutions (RBIS)

• RBIS reported sales decreased 2 percent; on an organic basis, sales grew approximately 2 percent.
• Operating margin increased by nearly five points to 7.5 percent, largely due to the benefit of lower restructuring charges. Adjusted operating margin improved 30 basis points as the net savings associated with the business model transformation and higher volume were partially offset by the impact of strategic pricing actions and higher employee-related costs.

Other

Share Repurchases / Equity Dilution from Long-Term Incentives

The company repurchased 0.9 million shares in the second quarter of 2016 at an aggregate cost of $64 million. Net of dilution, the company reduced its share count by 0.3 million in the second quarter. The cost of repurchases, net of proceeds from stock option exercises, was $39 million.

Income Taxes

The second quarter effective tax rate was approximately 19 percent, compared to approximately 36 percent last year, reflecting the release of a valuation allowance associated with structural simplification efforts, and favorable outcomes for tax filing positions with certain foreign tax jurisdictions. The adjusted tax rate for the second quarter was 34 percent, consistent with the anticipated full year tax rate in the low to mid-thirty percent range.

Cost Reduction Actions

In the second quarter, the company realized approximately $21 million in pre-tax savings from restructuring, net of transition costs, and incurred pre-tax restructuring charges of approximately $6 million, approximately two-thirds of which represented cash charges.

Pension Settlement Charge

As part of a previously announced long-term strategy to reduce financial volatility associated with its frozen defined benefit pension plan for U.S. employees, the company offered eligible former employees the option to receive their benefits immediately as either a lump sum payment or an annuity, rather than waiting until they were retirement eligible under the terms of the plan. This action was completed during the second quarter, with payments made out of existing plan assets.

This action resulted in the settlement of approximately $70 million of the company’s pension liability, and a one-time, non-cash charge of approximately $41 million, or approximately $0.30 per share, in the second quarter. This action is not expected to change required contributions to the pension plan over the next several years. The company does not anticipate making any contributions to the U.S. pension plan in 2016, and the amount of contributions to foreign plans is expected to be similar to recent years.

Outlook

In its supplemental presentation materials, “Second Quarter 2016 Financial Review and Analysis,” the company provides a list of factors that it believes will contribute to its 2016 financial results. Based on the factors listed and other assumptions, the company now expects 2016 earnings per share of $3.35 to $3.50. Excluding an estimated $0.15 per share for restructuring charges and other items, and $0.30 per share for the non-cash charge to settle the U.S. pension obligations, the company now expects adjusted earnings per share (non-GAAP) of $3.80 to $3.95.

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

Certain prior period amounts have been revised to reflect the impact of certain adjustments and to correct the timing of previously recorded out-of-period adjustments.

In the fourth quarter of 2015, we elected to adopt the provisions of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, earlier than required. This ASU requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be classified as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability instead of being recorded separately in other assets. The new guidance was applied on a retrospective basis and prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

In the fourth quarter of 2015, we also elected to adopt the provisions of ASU 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, earlier than required. This ASU requires that all deferred tax assets and liabilities for each jurisdiction, along with any related valuation allowances, be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. As permitted by this ASU, prior periods have not been retrospectively adjusted.

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 the supplemental non-GAAP financial measures we provide are useful to their 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 charges, 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 sales 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 our fiscal year. The estimated impact of currency translation is calculated on a constant currency basis, with prior period results translated at current period average exchange rates to exclude the effect of currency fluctuations. We believe that organic sales change assists investors in evaluating the sales growth from the ongoing activities of our businesses and provides improved comparability of our results from period to period.

Adjusted operating margin refers to income from continuing operations before interest expense and taxes, excluding restructuring charges and other items, as a percentage of sales.

Adjusted tax rate refers to our anticipated full-year GAAP tax rate using the most likely scenario in a range of estimated tax rates for the year. This range includes various items such as the impact of the discrete rates applicable to the adjustments we make in calculating our adjusted non-GAAP earnings, changes in uncertain tax positions and our repatriation assertions on unremitted earnings, and other items that may impact our full-year GAAP tax rate.

Adjusted income from continuing operations refers to reported income from continuing operations tax-effected at the adjusted tax rate, and adjusted for tax-effected restructuring charges and other items.

Adjusted EPS refers to reported income from continuing operations per common share, assuming dilution, tax-effected at the adjusted tax rate, and adjusted for tax-effected restructuring charges and other items.

We believe that adjusted operating margin, adjusted income from continuing operations, and adjusted EPS assist investors in understanding our core operating trends and comparing our results with those of our competitors.

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. We believe that free cash flow assists investors by showing the amount of cash we have available for debt reductions, dividends, share repurchases, and acquisitions.

The following reconciliations 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.
