MENTOR, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Avery Dennison Corporation (NYSE: AVY), a leading global materials science and digital identification solutions company, today announced preliminary, unaudited results for its second quarter ended June 28, 2025. Non-GAAP financial measures referenced in this release are reconciled from GAAP in the attached financial schedules. Unless otherwise indicated, comparisons are to the same period in the prior year.

“We delivered a solid second quarter, with earnings above expectations in a dynamic environment, reflecting the strength of our overall portfolio,” said Deon Stander, president and CEO.

“While trade policy changes led to lower sourcing demand for apparel and general retail categories in the quarter, growth in our high-value categories and productivity in the base business offset the impact from tariffs.

“The broader impact of trade policy changes is unclear. We are prepared for various scenarios and will continue to leverage our proven playbook to safeguard earnings, while driving key initiatives to deliver strong profitable growth over the cycle,” added Stander.

“Once again, I extend my gratitude to our agile, engaged, and talented team for their unwavering focus on excellence and dedication to addressing the current challenges at hand.”

Balance Sheet and Capital Deployment

During the first half of 2025, the company returned $503 million in cash to shareholders through a combination of share repurchases and dividends. The company repurchased 2.0 million shares at an aggregate cost of $360 million in the first half of the year. Net of dilution from long-term incentive awards, the company’s share count was down 2.8 million compared to the same time last year. In the second quarter, the company increased its quarterly dividend to $0.94 per share, representing an increase of approximately 7% over the previous dividend rate.

The company continues to deploy capital in a disciplined manner, executing its long-term capital allocation strategy. The company’s balance sheet remains strong. Net debt to adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) was 2.3x at the end of the second quarter.

The company’s reported effective tax rate was 26.0% for the second quarter. The adjusted tax rate (non-GAAP) for the quarter was also 26.0%.

Cost Reduction Actions

In the first half of the year, the company realized approximately $30 million in pre-tax savings from restructuring, net of transition costs, and incurred approximately $13 million in pre-tax restructuring charges.

Guidance

In its supplemental presentation materials, “Second Quarter 2025 Financial Review and Analysis,” the company provides a list of factors that it believes will contribute to its financial results. Based on the factors listed and other assumptions, the company expects third quarter 2025 reported earnings per share of $2.14 to $2.30.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures from 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 prepared in accordance with GAAP. We use these non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate trends in our underlying performance, as well as to facilitate comparisons with the results of competitors for quarters and year-to-date periods, as applicable. Based on feedback from investors and financial analysts, we believe that the supplemental non-GAAP financial measures we provide are also useful to their assessments of our performance and operating trends, as well as liquidity. Reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures from the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are provided in accordance with Regulations G and S-K.

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 more 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, outcomes of certain legal matters and settlements, 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 venture and other investments, currency adjustments due to highly inflationary economies, 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 the non-GAAP financial measures described below in the accompanying news release.

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 currency adjustments for transitional reporting of highly inflationary economies and the reclassification of sales between segments. Additionally, where applicable, sales change ex. currency is also adjusted for an extra week in our fiscal year and the calendar shift resulting from an extra week in the prior fiscal year. 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 foreign currency fluctuations. Our 2025 fiscal year that began on December 29, 2024 will end on December 31,2025; fiscal years 2026 and beyond will be coincident with the calendar year beginning on January 1 and ending on December 31.

Organic sales change refers to sales change ex. currency, excluding the estimated impact of acquisitions and product line 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 net income adjusted for taxes; other expense (income), net; interest expense; other non-operating expense (income), net; and other items.

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 enactments of comprehensive tax law changes, 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 the 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.

Adjusted free cash flow refers to cash flow provided by operating activities, less payments for property, plant and equipment, less payments for software and other deferred charges, plus proceeds from company-owned life insurance policies, plus proceeds from sales of property, plant and equipment, plus (minus) net proceeds from insurance and sales (purchases) of investments, less net cash used for Argentine Blue Chip Swap securities. Where applicable, adjusted free cash flow is also adjusted for certain acquisition-related transaction costs. We believe that adjusted free cash flow assists investors by showing the amount of cash we have available for debt reductions, dividends, share repurchases, and acquisitions.
