On April 26, 2005, Avery Dennison Corporation issued a news release announcing its preliminary financial results for the first quarter ending April 2, 2005, along with earnings guidance for the second and third quarter of 2005 combined, and 2005 fiscal year, as set forth in Exhibit 99.1.

 

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

“Safe Harbor” Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: Certain statements contained in this report on Form 8-K and Exhibit 99.1 are “forward-looking statements” intended to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties. Actual results and trends may differ materially from historical or expected results depending on a variety of factors, including but not limited to fluctuations in cost and availability of raw materials; ability of the Company to achieve targeted cost reductions; foreign exchange rates; worldwide and local economic conditions; selling prices; impact of legal proceedings, including the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) criminal investigation, as well as the European Commission (“EC”) and Canadian Department of Justice investigations, into industry competitive practices and any related proceedings or lawsuits pertaining to these investigations or to the subject matter thereof (including purported class actions seeking treble damages for alleged unlawful competitive practices, and purported class actions related to alleged disclosure violations pertaining to alleged unlawful competitive practices, which were filed after the announcement of the DOJ investigation, as well as a likely fine by the EC in respect of certain employee misconduct in Europe); impact of epidemiological events on the economy and the Company’s customers and suppliers; successful integration of acquired companies; financial condition and inventory strategies of customers; development, introduction and acceptance of new products; fluctuations in demand affecting sales to customers; and other matters referred to in the Company’s SEC filings.

 

The financial information presented in this news release represents preliminary financial results.

 

The Company believes that the most significant risk factors that could affect its ability to achieve its stated financial expectations in the near-term include (1) potential adverse developments in legal proceedings and/or investigations regarding competitive activities; (2) the degree to which higher raw material costs can be passed on to customers through price increases, without a significant loss of volume; (3) the impact of economic conditions on underlying demand for the Company’s products; (4) ability of the Company to achieve targeted cost reductions; and (5) availability and cost of certain components used to manufacture adhesives used in some products sold by the Company, an extended shortage of which could disrupt production, resulting in a potentially significant loss of revenue and earnings.

 

For a more detailed discussion of these and other factors, see the Exhibit 99.1 “Cautionary Statement For Purposes Of The Safe Harbor Provisions Of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act Of 1995” in the Company’s Form 10-K, filed on March 17, 2005. The forward-looking statements included in this Form 8-K are made only as of the date of this Form 8-K, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update the forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.

AVERY DENNISON REPORTS

FIRST QUARTER 2005 RESULTS

 

PASADENA, Calif. – April 26, 2005 – Avery Dennison Corporation (NYSE:AVY) today reported first quarter diluted earnings per share of $0.57, compared with $0.52 per share for the first quarter of 2004, which are in line with the Company’s previously announced revised expectations. The first quarter 2005 results include severance and transition costs of approximately $0.04 per share related to a previously announced plant closure, while the prior-year first quarter earnings include a negative impact of $0.16 per share from restructuring costs and asset impairment charges related to the integration of an acquisition.

 

“Although we started the year with strong sales growth, demand slowed significantly as the quarter progressed. Sales weakened across most businesses and regions late in the quarter,” said Philip M. Neal, chairman and chief executive officer of Avery Dennison. “We are clearly disappointed in the results for the quarter. While we are continuing to fund growth programs with significant potential, we have implemented a number of immediate actions throughout the Company to sharply reduce expenses.”

Key results for the first quarter of 2005 include:

 

    Earnings per share, on a diluted basis, were $0.57, compared with $0.52 per share in the same quarter a year ago. While the Company successfully raised prices to fully offset raw material cost increases, the quarter’s results were negatively affected by lower-than-anticipated unit volume growth, higher-than-anticipated spending related to growth activities and an increase in inventory reserves related to a new product launch, as well as other factors. First quarter 2005 earnings include a negative impact of $0.04 per share from severance and transition costs related to a plant closure, while the prior-year first quarter earnings include a negative impact of $0.16 per share from restructuring costs and asset impairment charges related to the integration of an acquisition. (See Attachment A-3: “Preliminary Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures”).

 

    Net income was $57.7 million, compared with $52.6 million in the first quarter of 2004.

 

    Reported sales grew 8 percent from prior-year levels, reaching $1.3 billion for the first quarter of 2005, compared with $1.2 billion in the first quarter of 2004. The impact of currency translation contributed approximately 40 percent of the sales growth during the quarter, while price and mix contributed approximately 30 percent.

 

    Core unit volume grew approximately 2 percent over the prior-year first quarter, which was approximately two to three points below the

 

 

page 2


Company’s expectations at the start of the year, reflecting a slowdown in the pressure-sensitive materials and retail information services segments late in the quarter.

 

    Gross profit margin declined 60 basis points compared with the first quarter of 2004 due to the increase in inventory reserves related to a new product launch and spending related to the Company’s RFID (radio frequency identification) business. Higher raw material costs were fully offset by selling price increases.

 

    Marketing, general and administrative expenses increased by $34 million compared with the first quarter of 2004. Approximately one-third of this increase is attributable to currency translation, the acquisition of Rinke Etiketten in late 2004, and other volume-related spending. Another approximately one-third of the higher spending was due to expenses associated with the Company’s longer-term growth initiatives, including RFID, while the balance reflected a variety of factors, including higher pension expense and bad debt write-offs.

 

    Excluding restructuring and transition costs, asset impairment charges and gain on sale of assets, operating margin declined 150 basis points compared with the first quarter of 2004, due to the factors affecting gross profit margin, as well as marketing, general and administrative expenses, which are described above. (See Attachment A-3: “Preliminary Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures”).

 

    The tax rate for the first quarter was 26 percent, in line with the Company’s previously announced expectations.

Segment results

 

The Company’s Pressure-sensitive Materials segment reported sales of approximately $789 million, reflecting growth of more than 8 percent over the first quarter of 2004. Approximately 50 percent of the segment revenue growth reflects unit volume growth and a positive contribution from price and mix. The balance of the growth is attributable to the impact of currency translation, primarily the Euro. The North American pressure-sensitive roll materials business posted revenue growth of approximately 4 percent, with the benefit of price increases more than offsetting a decline in volume. The volume decline affected all segments within the North American pressure-sensitive roll materials business with the exception of films, which continued to benefit from growth in the beverage label market. The Company announced that it is investing approximately $30 million to add a new production line for film materials to meet the growing demand for pressure-sensitive labels by beer producers.

 

Before the effect of currency translation, sales in the European pressure-sensitive roll materials business also grew approximately 4 percent, with modest increases in unit volume and favorable price and mix. While the rate of sales growth for the roll materials business in emerging markets slowed compared with the very strong growth achieved in the fourth quarter of 2004, sales in these markets grew 13 percent in the first quarter, before the impact of currency translation. The graphics and reflective materials business posted low single-digit sales growth, excluding the impact of currency translation. Excluding restructuring costs, asset impairment charges and gain on sale of assets, operating margin for the segment increased to 8.9 percent compared with 8.1 percent in the prior-year quarter, due to productivity improvement initiatives, including plant closures completed in Europe during the first

half of 2004. The benefit of price increases offset higher raw material costs. (See Attachment A-4: “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Supplementary Information”).

 

The Office and Consumer Products segment reported sales of approximately $259 million, reflecting an increase of more than 2 percent over the prior-year first quarter. The revenue increase for the segment was largely due to the impact of currency translation. As expected, the benefit of price increases was offset by a volume decline associated with customers building inventory in the fourth quarter of 2004 in anticipation of the higher prices. The Company’s January 1 price increase in the office and consumer products business fully covered cumulative raw material cost inflation. Excluding restructuring and transition costs related to a plant closure, operating margin for the segment declined to 12.6 percent compared with 14.7 percent in the first quarter of 2004. The year-on-year decline in margin is largely attributable to an increase in inventory reserves related to a new product. (See Attachment A-4: “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Supplementary Information”).

 

The Retail Information Services segment reported sales of approximately $157 million, reflecting an increase of approximately 14 percent. Nearly half of the growth is due to the positive impact of currency translation and the Rinke acquisition, with the balance due to core unit volume growth. Operating margin declined to 3.7 percent in the first quarter, compared with 6.5 percent in the year-ago first quarter. The decline in operating margin reflects higher spending on growth programs and modest raw material cost inflation, as well as price erosion.

Businesses in the other specialty converting group reported sales of approximately $141 million. The Company said that its RFID business has achieved its goal of being production-ready at the end of the first quarter. Avery Dennison has completed construction of its new high-speed production line for manufacturing RFID inlays and the business is positioned to meet expected growth in demand for RFID applications.

 

Outlook

 

Based on first quarter results and preliminary trends in the second quarter, Avery Dennison is updating its reported revenue growth target for the full year to 5 percent to 6 percent, down from its previous guidance of 6 percent to 10 percent. The Company said it is adjusting its earnings-per-share guidance for the full year to a range of $2.85 to $3.15 per share, from its previously announced expectation in the range of $3.15 to $3.50 per share. The Company also said that it anticipates earnings for the second and third quarters combined to be in the range of $1.45 to $1.65 per share. The Company indicated that its revised guidance assumes lower unit volume growth than originally anticipated for the year, along with continued raw material inflation through the second quarter, offset by the benefit of targeted cost reductions.

 

“We are absolutely committed to improving our operating margin during the remainder of the year,” said Neal. “We have instituted stringent spending restrictions in every corner of the Company in order to achieve our goals.”

 

“Our long-term business fundamentals continue to be strong. We have great businesses with excellent long-term growth potential and we have a dedicated team of managers who are determined to get us back on track. The events of this past quarter have not changed our optimistic view of the future,” said Neal.
