Avery Dennison announced preliminary, unaudited results for its second quarter ended July 4, 2015. Second quarter 2015 net sales declined approximately 6% to $1.52 billion, although net sales were up approximately 4% on an organic basis.
“Sales were up 4% on an organic basis, as exceptional performance in Pressure-sensitive Materials offset a decline in Retail Branding and Information Solutions,” said Dean Scarborough, Avery Dennison chairman and CEO. “Despite the headwind from currency translation, we delivered mid-teens growth in adjusted earnings per share, continued to expand adjusted operating margin, and generated significantly higher cash flow compared to last year.
“Pressure-sensitive Materials delivered great results through the consistent execution of our strategy, leveraging our scale and strengths in innovation, quality, and service across the entire portfolio,” Scarborough added. “Results in Retail Branding and Information Solutions were disappointing. Actions are underway to build a better foundation for long-term profitable growth and value creation in all segments of this business.”
“Overall, I remain confident that the consistent execution of our strategies, including the turnaround in RBIS, will enable us to meet our long-term goals.”
