Avery Dennison Corporation (NYSE:AVY) today announced preliminary, unaudited results for its first quarter ended April 3, 2021 and provided an update related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the company. 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.
“We are off to a strong start to the year, with earnings growth well above expectations, driven by higher volume and productivity gains across the portfolio,” said Mitch Butier, Avery Dennison president and CEO.
“All three of our operating segments delivered strong sales growth and significant margin expansion. Our strong performance comes at a time when the global health crisis is resurging in many parts of the world and supply chains are tightening. The current environment further reinforces our determination to remain vigilant in ensuring the health and well-being of our employees, delivering for our customers, supporting our communities, and creating value for our shareholders.
“We have raised our full-year outlook for adjusted earnings per share, reflecting the strong performance in the first quarter, and a higher organic growth assumption for the balance of the year,” said Butier. “We continue to remain confident that the consistent execution of our strategies will enable us to meet our long-term goals for superior value creation for all our stakeholders."
“Once again, I want to thank our entire team for their tireless efforts to keep one another safe while delivering for our customers during this challenging period, bringing a whole new level of agility and dedication to address the unique challenges at hand.”
COVID-19/Operational Update
Uncertainty surrounding the global health crisis remains elevated as many parts of the world are experiencing a resurgence in COVID-19 cases. The safety and well-being of employees has been and will continue to be the company’s top priority. The company has taken steps to ensure employee safety, quickly implementing world-class safety protocols and continuing to adapt guidelines as the pandemic evolves.
As supply chains remain tight, the company continues to actively manage through a dynamic supply and demand environment. The company is leveraging its global scale and working closely with customers and suppliers to deliver industry-leading products and services. The company continues to mitigate risk to keep supply chain disruptions negligible and the team continues to demonstrate agility and preparedness through robust scenario planning.

Other
Balance Sheet, Liquidity, and Capital Deployment
The company’s balance sheet remains strong, with ample liquidity. The company deployed $31 million for acquisitions and equity investments in the first quarter, including two strategic acquisitions, JDC Solutions, Inc. in the IHM segment and ZippyYum, LLC in the RBIS segment.
The company recently announced it raised its quarterly dividend rate by 10%, following a 7% increase in 2020. Additionally, the company repurchased 0.3 million shares in the first quarter at an aggregate cost of $56 million. Net of dilution from long-term incentive awards, the company’s share count at the end of the quarter was down by 0.2 million compared to the same time last year. During the first quarter, the company returned $107 million in cash to shareholders through a combination of share repurchases and dividends.
Income Taxes
The company’s first quarter effective tax rate was 21.6%. The adjusted (non-GAAP) tax rate for the quarter was 25.0%, reflecting the company’s current expectation for the full-year adjusted tax rate.
Cost Reduction Actions
In the first quarter, the company realized approximately $19 million in pre-tax savings from restructuring, net of transition costs, and incurred pre-tax restructuring charges of approximately $3 million, the vast majority of which represents cash charges.
Outlook
In its supplemental presentation materials, “First Quarter 2021 Financial Review and Analysis,” the company provides a list of factors that it believes will contribute to its 2021 financial results. Based on the factors listed and other assumptions, the company has raised its guidance range for 2021 reported earnings per share from a range of $7.50 to $7.90 to a range of $8.25 to $8.65. Excluding an estimated $0.15 per share related to restructuring charges and other items, the company’s guidance for adjusted earnings per share has been raised from a range of $7.65 to $8.05 to a range of $8.40 to $8.80.

| Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to GAAP |
| 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 the 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 assessments of our performance and operating trends, as well as liquidity |
| 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, outcome of certain legal proceedings, certain effects of strategic transactions and related costs, losses from debt extinguishments, gains or losses from curtailment or settlement of pension obligations, gains or losses on sales of certain assets, gains or losses on investments, and other items), we believe that we are providing meaningful supplemental information that facilitates an understanding of our core operating results and liquidity measures. While some of the items we exclude from GAAP financial measures recur, they tend to be disparate in amount, frequency, or timing. We use these non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate trends in our underlying performance, as well as to facilitate comparison to the results of competitors for a single period and full year, as applicable. |
| 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 net sales, excluding the estimated impact of foreign currency translation, and, where applicable, the calendar shift resulting from the extra week in the prior fiscal year and currency adjustment for transitional reporting of highly inflationary economies. The estimated impact of foreign 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 sales change ex. currency, excluding the estimated impact of product line exits, acquisitions and divestitures. |
| We believe that sales change ex. currency and organic sales change assist investors in evaluating the sales change from the ongoing activities of our businesses and enhance their ability to evaluate our results from period to period. |
| Adjusted operating income refers to income before taxes; interest expense; other non-operating expense (income), net; and other expense (income), net. |
| Adjusted EBITDA refers to adjusted operating income before depreciation and amortization. |
| Adjusted operating margin refers to adjusted operating income as a percentage of net sales. |
| Adjusted EBITDA margin refers to adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales. |
| Adjusted tax rate refers to the projected full-year GAAP tax rate, adjusted to exclude certain unusual or infrequent events that are expected to significantly impact that rate, such as effects of certain discrete tax planning actions, impacts related to the enactment of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("TCJA"), where applicable, and other items. |
| 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 EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, and adjusted EPS assist investors in understanding our core operating trends and comparing our results with those of our competitors. |
| Net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio refers to total debt (including finance leases) less cash and cash equivalents, divided by adjusted EBITDA for the last twelve months. We believe that the net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio assists investors in assessing our leverage position. |
| Free cash flow refers to cash flow provided by operating activities, 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 insurance and 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. |
