Avery Dennison Corporation (AVY) today announced preliminary,
unaudited results for its fourth quarter and year ended December 30,
2017. 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.
"2017 marked the company’s sixth consecutive year of strong top-line
growth, margin expansion, and double-digit adjusted EPS growth," said
Mitch Butier, President and CEO. "Strong top-line performance in 2017
reflected a balance of contributions from acquisitions and organic
growth, driven by our focus on faster-growing high value categories and
large presence in emerging markets.
"Label and Graphic Materials delivered another year of strong growth and
continued margin expansion. Retail Branding and Information Solutions’
operating income rose significantly, reflecting outstanding performance
in terms of both top-line growth and margin expansion. And we expanded
the platform for Industrial and Healthcare Materials, through both
acquisitions and a return to solid organic growth in the back half of
the year.
"In 2018, we expect to once again deliver a strong top-line and
double-digit EPS growth, while further increasing our level of
investment for the future," said Butier. "I would like to thank our
employees for their dedication to creating superior value for our
customers, investors, and the communities in which we operate. We remain
confident that the consistent execution of our strategies will enable us
to continue this momentum for years to come."
For more details on the company’s results, see the summary table
accompanying this news release, as well as the supplemental presentation
materials, "Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2017 Financial Review and
Analysis," posted on the company’s website at www.investors.averydennison.com,
and furnished to the SEC on Form 8-K.
Fourth Quarter 2017 Results by Segment
Sales change ex. currency refers to the increase or decrease in sales
excluding the estimated impact of currency translation. 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. 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.
Label and Graphic Materials
•
Reported sales increased 9.2 percent. Sales ex. currency increased 5.6
percent; on an organic basis, sales grew 4.6 percent. Sales increased
mid-single digits on an organic basis in Label and Packaging
Materials, as well as in the combined Graphics and Reflective
Solutions businesses.
•
Reported operating margin increased 60 basis points to 11.9 percent as
the benefits of increased volume and productivity more than offset
higher employee-related costs and the net impact of pricing and raw
material costs. Adjusted operating margin increased 70 basis points to
12.2 percent.
Retail Branding and Information Solutions
•
Reported sales increased 5.2 percent; on an organic basis, sales grew
4.7 percent driven by strength in both RFID and the base business.
•
Reported operating margin increased 150 basis points to 10.8 percent
as the benefits from productivity, increased volume, and reduced
amortization expense were partially offset by higher employee-related
costs and the net impact of pricing and raw material costs. Adjusted
operating margin increased 190 basis points to 11.9 percent.
Industrial and Healthcare Materials
•
Reported sales increased 60.3 percent. Sales ex. currency increased
56.9 percent; on an organic basis, sales grew 5.7 percent. Sales on an
organic basis increased high-single digits in industrial categories
and increased low-single digits in healthcare categories.
•
Reported operating margin declined 160 basis points to 7.2 percent,
with roughly half of the decline due to acquisitions, and the balance
reflecting near-term operational challenges and investments. Adjusted
operating margin declined 210 basis points to 7.6 percent.
Other
Share Repurchases / Equity Dilution from Long-Term Incentives
In 2017, the company repurchased 1.5 million shares at an aggregate cost
of $130 million ($108 million net of proceeds from stock option
exercises). Net of dilution, the company’s share count increased by 0.1
million.
Income Taxes
The enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("TCJA") in December 2017
resulted in a charge of $172 million in the fourth quarter. This charge
includes a tax on deemed repatriation of accumulated untaxed foreign
earnings and the revaluation of deferred tax assets and liabilities,
reflecting the company’s provisional estimate of the new legislation’s
impact under recent SEC guidance. As new information becomes available,
including issuance of interpretations by regulatory bodies, the company
may update this estimate.
The company’s effective tax rate, including the impact of the TCJA, was
138 percent for the fourth quarter, and 52 percent for the full year.
The company’s adjusted (non-GAAP) tax rate was 28 percent for both the
fourth quarter and full year; this rate excludes the charge associated
with the TCJA and incorporates $29 million of estimated charges related
to repatriation actions previously planned for the fourth quarter that
were not implemented as a result of U.S. tax reform.
The company’s 2018 tax rate is expected to be in the mid-twenty percent
range, which reflects the company’s current estimated impact of the TCJA.
Cost Reduction Actions
In 2017, the company realized approximately $59 million in pre-tax
savings from restructuring, net of transition costs, and incurred
pre-tax restructuring charges of approximately $33 million, the majority
of which represents cash charges.
Outlook
In its supplemental presentation materials, "Fourth Quarter and Full
Year 2017 Financial Review and Analysis," the company provides a list of
factors that it believes will contribute to its 2018 financial results.
Based on the factors listed and other assumptions, the company expects
2018 reported earnings per share of $5.50 to $5.75.
Excluding an estimated $0.20 per share for restructuring charges and
other items, the company expects adjusted earnings per share of $5.70 to
$5.95.
Note: Throughout this release and the supplemental presentation
materials, amounts on a per share basis reflect fully diluted shares
outstanding.

These forward-looking statements, and financial or other business
targets, are subject to certain risks and uncertainties. Actual results
and trends may differ materially from historical or anticipated results
depending on a variety of factors, including but are not limited to,
risks and uncertainties relating to the following: fluctuations in

conditions; changes in political conditions; changes in governmental
laws and regulations; fluctuations in currency exchange rates and other
risks associated with foreign operations, including in emerging markets;
the financial condition and inventory strategies of customers; changes
in customer preferences; fluctuations in cost and availability of raw
materials; our ability to generate sustained productivity improvement;
our ability to achieve and sustain targeted cost reductions; the impact
of competitive products and pricing; loss of significant contracts or
customers; collection of receivables from customers; selling prices;
business mix shift; execution and integration of acquisitions and
completion of potential dispositions; timely development and market
acceptance of new products, including sustainable or sustainably-sourced

degree to which higher costs can be offset with productivity measures
and/or passed on to customers through selling price increases, without a
significant loss of volume; (3) competitors’ actions, including pricing,
expansion in key markets, and product offerings; and (4) the execution
and integration of acquisitions.

"Provision for income taxes" for the fourth quarter of 2017 includes
the estimated impact of TCJA enacted in the U.S. on December 22,
2017. The TCJA significantly revises U.S. corporate income tax law
by, among other changes, lowering corporate income tax rates,
implementing a territorial tax regime, and imposing a one-time
transition tax through a deemed repatriation of accumulated untaxed
earnings of foreign subsidiaries. This provision includes a
reasonable estimate ("provisional amount") of the impact of the TCJA
on our tax provision following the guidance of SEC Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 118 (SAB 118).
In the first quarter of 2017, we adopted Accounting Standards Update
(ASU) 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment
Accounting. This ASU requires that all tax effects related to
share-based payments at settlement or expiration be recognized
through the provision for income taxes, a change from the previous
requirement that certain tax effects be recognized in shareholders’
equity. As required by this ASU, this change was applied
prospectively after the date of adoption.
This ASU also requires that all tax-related cash flows resulting
from share-based payments be reported as operating activities on the
statements of cash flows, a change from the previous requirement
that windfall tax benefits be presented as an inflow from financing
activities and an outflow from operating activities. As permitted by
this ASU, prior periods were not retrospectively adjusted for this
(e)
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.

In the first quarter of 2017, we adopted the provisions of
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-09, Improvements to
Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This ASU requires that
all tax-related cash flows resulting from share-based payments be
reported as operating activities on the statements of cash flows, a
change from the previous requirement that windfall tax benefits be
presented as an inflow from financing activities and an outflow from
operating activities. As permitted by this ASU, prior periods were
not retrospectively adjusted.
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures in Accordance with
SEC Regulations G and S-K
We report our 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
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, positive or negative, of certain items (e.g.,
restructuring charges, 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 that facilitates 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:
Sales change ex. currency refers to the increase or decrease
in sales excluding the estimated impact of currency translation. 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
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.
We believe that sales change ex. currency and organic sales change
assist investors in evaluating the sales growth from the ongoing
activities of our businesses and provide greater ability to evaluate
our results from period to period.
Adjusted operating margin refers to income before interest
expense and taxes, excluding restructuring charges and other items,
as a percentage of sales.
Adjusted tax rate refers to the full-year GAAP tax rate,
adjusted to include the impact of previously planned repatriation of
foreign earnings for Q4 2017 and exclude the reasonable estimate
("provisional amount") of the impact of the TCJA.
Adjusted net income refers to income before taxes,
tax-effected at the adjusted tax rate, and adjusted for tax-effected
restructuring charges and other items.
Adjusted net income per common share, assuming dilution (adjusted
EPS) refers to adjusted net income divided by weighted average
number of common shares outstanding, assuming dilution.
We believe that adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income, 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.
