Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation. The condensed financial statements and notes in this Form 10-Q are presented as permitted by Regulation S-X, and as such, they do not contain certain information included in the Company's 1994 annual financial statements and notes. The second quarters of 1995 and 1994 consisted of thirteen-week periods ending July 1, 1995 and July 2, 1994, respectively. The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of future financial results. 2. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION Transactions in foreign currencies and translation of financial statements of subsidiaries operating in hyperinflationary economies during the three and six months ended July 1, 1995 and July 2, 1994 resulted in losses of $.3 million and $.7 million, respectively, during 1995, and losses of $.7 million and $2.1 million, respectively, during 1994. 3. INVENTORIES Inventories consisted of (in millions):

4. INTANGIBLES RESULTING FROM BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS Accumulated amortization of intangible assets at July 1, 1995 and December 31, 1994 was $38.7 and $35.3 million, respectively. 5. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Research and development expense for the three and six months ended July 1, 1995 and July 2, 1994 was $13.4 million and $25.7 million, respectively, during 1995 and $12.3 million and $23.8 million, respectively during 1994. 6 AVERY DENNISON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: FOR THE QUARTER - --------------------------------------- Quarterly sales increased to $780.5 million, a 9 percent increase over second quarter 1994 sales of $718.6 million. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency rates and divestitures, sales increased 6 percent. The gross profit margin for the quarter was 30.6 percent compared to 31.7 percent for the second quarter of 1994. The decrease was primarily due to plant and major equipment start-up costs and a shift in the product mix. Marketing, general and administrative expense, as a percent of sales, was 22.1 percent compared to 23.9 percent for the second quarter of 1994. The improvement was the result of increased sales and cost reduction actions taken in previous years. Interest expense, as a percent of sales, was 1.5 percent for the second quarter of 1995 compared to 1.7 percent for the second quarter of 1994, despite higher debt levels in 1995. The decrease was due primarily to increased sales and lower interest expense in Brazil as a result of lower inflation and debt levels. Income before taxes, as a percent of sales, increased to 7 percent for the quarter as compared to 6.2 percent for the second quarter of 1994 due to lower marketing, general and administrative and interest expenses as a percent of sales. The effective tax rate for the quarter was 35.1 percent compared to 37 percent a year ago. The decrease was due primarily to the recognition of benefits from tax loss carryforwards in Europe. Net income increased 28 percent to $35.7 million compared to $27.9 million in the second quarter of 1994. Earnings per share for the quarter reached $.67 compared to $.50 in the same period last year, a 34 percent increase. Results of Operations by Business Sector The pressure-sensitive adhesives and materials sector reported significantly improved sales and comparable profitability for the second quarter of 1995 compared to the same period last year. The U.S. operations reported a solid sales increase which included pricing actions. Costs incurred for the start-up of plant and major equipment had a negative impact on profitability for the U.S. businesses. The European operations reported a significant sales increase for the quarter as a result of pricing actions, sales volume growth and changes in foreign currency rates. This sales growth coupled with productivity improvements and effective cost reduction programs resulted in significant profitability increases for the European operations. 7 AVERY DENNISON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) The office products sector reported modest sales and significant profitability growth for the second quarter compared to the same period last year. Sales for the U.S. businesses were comparable to prior year as increased sales for Avery- brand labels and indexes were offset by the elimination of lower margin business. Profitability for the U.S. operations increased significantly as a result of lower operating expenses. The European office products businesses reported increased sales primarily as a result of improved economic conditions and changes in foreign currency rates. Lower operating expenses on increased sales and a more favorable product mix led to significant profitability increases over the same period last year. The converted products sector reported significant sales and profitability improvements. The U.S. converting businesses reported a slight sales increase and a slight decline in profitability for the quarter. The international converting businesses reported a significant improvement in sales and profitability. Sales increased primarily as a result of an improved European economy and changes in foreign currency rates. Profitability for the international converting businesses benefitted significantly from lower operating expenses on increased sales. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: SIX MONTHS YEAR-TO-DATE - ----------------------------------------------- Sales for the first six months of 1995 were up 12 percent to $1.55 billion compared to the corresponding period of 1994. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency translation and divestitures, sales increased 9 percent. The gross profit margin for the first six months was 31.1 percent compared to 31.8 percent for the first six months of 1994. The decrease was primarily due to a shift in product mix, plant and major equipment start-up costs, plus $2.5 million in expense related to LIFO inventories compared to a benefit of $.6 million for the first six months of 1994. Marketing, general and administrative expense, as a percent of sales, declined to 22.7 percent for the first six months of 1995 compared to 24 percent for the first six months of 1994. The decrease was primarily attributable to cost reduction efforts throughout the Company on increased sales. Interest expense, as a percent of sales, was 1.4 percent for the year compared to 1.7 percent during the corresponding period of the prior year, despite higher debt levels in 1995. The decrease was primarily due to increased sales and a decline in interest expense for our Brazilian operations as a result of lower inflation and debt levels. Income before taxes, as a percent of sales, was 7.1 percent for the first six months of 1995 compared to 6.1 percent for 1994. The increase was primarily due to lower operating and interest expenses as a percent of sales. The year-to- date effective tax rate was 36.1 percent for 1995 and 37 percent for 1994. The decrease reflects recognition of benefits from tax loss carryforwards in Europe. 8 AVERY DENNISON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) Net income was $70.2 million for the first six months of 1995 compared to $53.1 million for the first six months of 1994. Earnings per share increased 39 percent to $1.32 for the first six months of 1995 compared to $.95 for the same period last year. Results of Operations by Business Sector The pressure-sensitive adhesives and materials sector reported significant sales and solid profitability improvement for the first six months of 1995 compared to the same period last year. The U.S. operations reported a significant sales increase primarily due to pricing actions and unit volume growth. Profitability was comparable to prior year as the benefit from sales growth was offset by plant and major equipment start-up costs. Sales for the European operations increased significantly primarily as a result of pricing actions, volume growth from improved economic conditions and changes in foreign currency rates. Profitability also increased significantly as a result of sales growth and higher operating margins resulting from effective cost reduction programs. The office products sector reported solid sales and significant profitability growth for the six months ended July 1, 1995 compared to the prior year. The U.S. operations reported solid sales and significant profitability improvements. Significant sales growth for Avery-brand labels and indexes was partially offset by the elimination of lower margin business. Profitability increased significantly for the U.S. operations as a result of higher sales and lower operating expenses as a percent of sales. The European operations reported significant sales growth primarily due to improved economic conditions and changes in foreign currency rates. Significant profitability increases were primarily due to lower operating expenses on increased sales and a more favorable product mix. The converted products sector reported significant sales and profitability improvements for the first six months of 1995 compared to 1994. The U.S. converting businesses reported increased sales and profitability. An improved European economy and changes in foreign currency rates boosted sales for the international converting businesses while lower operating expenses on increased sales resulted in significantly higher profitability. FINANCIAL CONDITION - ------------------- Total debt increased $85.4 million to $506.1 million from year end 1994 as a result of increased working capital requirements needed to fund the Company's sales growth. Total debt to total capital was 39.3 percent as of the end of the second quarter of 1995 and 36.6 percent at year end 1994. During the second quarter of 1995, the Company registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission $100 million in principal amount of medium-term notes. As of July 27, 1995, all of the notes had been issued. The medium-term notes have an average interest rate of 7.26 percent and will mature from 2005 to 2025. Average working capital, excluding short-term debt, as a percentage of sales, decreased to 10.8 percent for the quarter from 11.1 percent a year ago as the increase in sales more than offset the increase in working capital. Average inventory turnover for the quarter ended July 1, 1995 was 8.2 compared to 9.1 in the corresponding period of the prior year; the average number of days sales outstanding in accounts receivable was 57 days for both periods. 9 AVERY DENNISON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) Capital spending for the quarter was $38.4 million compared to $33.4 million a year ago. For the six months, capital spending totaled $75.1 million compared to $52.6 million a year ago. Total capital spending for 1995 is expected to be approximately $200 million. Net cash flows provided by operating activities totaled $52.2 for the first six months of 1995 and $57.5 million for the first half of 1994. In addition to cash flows from operations, the Company has more than adequate financing arrangements to conduct its operations. Shareholders' equity increased to $782.6 million from $729 million at year end 1994. During the second quarter of 1995, the Company purchased 210,000 shares of common stock at a cost of $8.5 million. The cost of treasury stock held, net of shares reissued under the Company's stock and incentive plans, increased to $271.7 million from $253.4 million at year end 1994. 10 PART II.
