"We delivered solid results in 2010, led by sales growth and expanded margins in Pressure-sensitive Materials and Retail Information Services," said Dean A. Scarborough, Avery Dennison chairman, president and CEO. "Our employees did a great job serving our customers, and I want to thank them for their outstanding performance.

"In addition, we generated strong free cash flow and exceeded our debt reduction goal for the year," Scarborough said. "Having strengthened our balance sheet, we have begun to return more cash to shareholders, through our fourth-quarter share repurchases and the dividend increase and repurchase authorization we announced today.

"For 2011, we expect to continue our solid sales growth and margin expansion," Scarborough said. "We also will continue to invest in marketing and R&D to further advance our market leadership and generate long-term growth."

For more details on the Company's results, see the Company's supplemental presentation materials, "Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2010 Financial Review and Analysis," posted at the Company's Web site at www.investors.averydennison.com, and furnished under Form 8-K with the SEC.

Fourth Quarter 2010 Results by Segment

All references to sales reflect comparisons on an organic basis, which exclude the impact of foreign currency translation and, where applicable, an extra week in the fiscal year 2009. All references to operating margin exclude the impact of restructuring, asset impairment charges, and other items.

Pressure-sensitive Materials (PSM)

  • Roll Materials sales grew at a low-double digit rate, reflecting strength in all regions. Sales grew at a mid-single digit rate in the Graphics and Reflective Products division.
  • Operating margin increased as the benefits of increased volume, pricing actions, and productivity initiatives more than offset raw material inflation. Operating margin declined sequentially as raw material inflation continued to outpace price increases.

Retail Information Services (RIS)

  • Sales growth reflected increased demand from retailers and brands in the U.S. and Europe.
  • Operating margin increased due to increased volume and restructuring and productivity initiatives, partially offset by higher employee costs. Operating margin increased sequentially due to higher volume, reflecting the normal seasonal trend.

Office and Consumer Products (OCP)

  • The decline in sales reflected weak end-market demand and increased competition in the label category.
  • Operating margin declined due to increased investment in demand creation, consumer promotions, and innovation, raw material inflation, and lower volume.

Other specialty converting businesses

  • Sales growth primarily reflected increased demand for specialty tapes.
  • Operating margin improved as the benefits of increased volume and productivity actions more than offset raw material inflation.

Other

The Board of Directors today announced a 25 percent increase in the first quarter 2011 dividend to $0.25 per share, and an authorization to repurchase an additional five million shares.

During the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company repurchased approximately three million shares for a total cost of $109 million (offsetting dilution), and contributed $78 million to pension obligations (more than $50 million above requirements).

The fourth quarter effective GAAP tax rate of negative 60 percent included $0.42 per share from a discrete tax planning event. The adjusted tax rate for the fourth quarter was negative 35 percent.

Outlook

In the Company's supplemental presentation materials, "Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2010 Financial Review and Analysis," the Company provides a list of factors that it believes will contribute to its 2011 financial results. Based on the factors listed and other assumptions, the Company expects adjusted (non-GAAP) earnings per share of $3.00 to $3.30. The Company expects free cash flow in 2011 of $325 to $350 million.

First quarter 2011 earnings as a percentage of full-year 2011 earnings are expected to be at the low end of the historical range of 15 to 20 percent, reflecting normal seasonality as well as the timing of inflation and pricing actions.

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

Such 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 not limited to risks and uncertainties relating to investment in development activities and new production facilities; fluctuations in cost and availability of raw materials; ability of the Company to achieve and sustain targeted cost reductions; ability of the Company to generate sustained productivity improvement; successful integration of acquisitions; successful implementation of new manufacturing technologies and installation of manufacturing equipment; disruptions in information technology systems; successful installation of new or upgraded information technology systems; the financial condition and inventory strategies of customers; customer and supplier concentrations; changes in customer order patterns; loss of significant contract(s) or customer(s); timely development and market acceptance of new products; fluctuations in demand affecting sales to customers; collection of receivables from customers; impact of competitive products and pricing; selling prices; business mix shift; volatility of capital and credit markets; impairment of capitalized assets, including goodwill and other intangibles; credit risks; ability of the Company to obtain adequate financing arrangements and to maintain access to capital; fluctuations in interest and tax rates; fluctuations in pension, insurance and employee benefit costs; impact of legal proceedings; changes in tax laws and regulations; changes in governmental regulations; changes in political conditions; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and other risks associated with foreign operations; worldwide and local economic conditions; impact of epidemiological events on the economy and the Company's customers and suppliers; acts of war, terrorism, and natural disasters; and other factors.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures in Accordance with SEC Regulations G and S-K
Avery Dennison reports financial results in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, and herein provides some non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for, the comparable GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are intended to supplement the Company's presentation of its financial results that are prepared in accordance with GAAP. Based upon feedback from investors and financial analysts, the Company believes that supplemental non-GAAP financial measures provide information that is useful to the assessment of the Company's performance and operating trends, as well as liquidity.

The Company's 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 the underlying performance of the Company in a single period. By excluding certain accounting effects, both positive and negative (e.g. restructuring charges, asset impairments, legal settlements, certain effects of acquisitions and related integration costs, loss from debt extinguishments, loss from curtailment and settlement of pension obligations, gains or losses on sale of certain assets, etc.), from certain of the Company's GAAP financial measures, the Company believes that it is providing meaningful supplemental information to facilitate an understanding of the Company's "core" or "underlying" operating results. These non-GAAP financial measures are used internally to evaluate trends in the Company's underlying business, as well as to facilitate comparison to the results of competitors for a single period. The Company adjusted the estimated GAAP tax rate to exclude the full year estimated tax effect of charges for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairments, restructuring costs and asset impairment and lease cancellation charges, legal settlements, loss from debt extinguishments, loss from curtailment and settlement of pension obligations, and gain on sale of investment to determine its adjusted non-GAAP tax rate to derive non-GAAP net income.

The Company uses the following non-GAAP financial measures in the accompanying news release and presentation:

Organic sales growth (decline) refers to the change in sales excluding the estimated impact of currency translation and, where applicable, an extra week in the fiscal year 2009;

Non-GAAP operating margin refers to earnings before taxes and interest expense, excluding restructuring charges and other items as a percentage of sales; and

Free cash flow refers to net cash from operating activities (as reported), less net purchases of property, plant, equipment, software, and other deferred charges, plus proceeds from sale (purchases) of investments, net.

Limitations associated with the use of the Company's non-GAAP financial measures include (1) the exclusion of items that recur from time to time (e.g. restructuring, asset impairment charges, discontinued operations, etc.) and items that occur infrequently (e.g. legal settlement costs, loss from debt extinguishments) from calculations of the Company's earnings and operating margin; (2) the exclusion of interest expense from the calculation of the Company's operating margin; and (3) the exclusion of mandatory debt service requirements, as well as the exclusion of other uses of the cash generated by operating activities that do not directly or immediately support the underlying business (such as discretionary debt reductions, dividends, share repurchases, acquisitions, etc.) from the calculation of free cash flow. While certain items that the Company excludes from GAAP financial measures recur, these items tend to be disparate in amount and timing.
The reconciliation set forth below and in the accompanying presentation is provided in accordance with Regulations G and S-K and reconciles the non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
