"In the face of continuing tough market conditions we increased operating margin, reflecting the strength of our franchise businesses and the effectiveness of our operating model," said Dean A. Scarborough, president and chief executive officer of Avery Dennison. "The combination of fixed-cost reductions and increasing variable margins positions the Company for strong profit growth when markets improve."

"While the rate of volume decline in the third quarter improved compared with the first half of the year, this was largely due to a slowdown in inventory reductions," Scarborough said. "Our end-markets remain soft, and we continue to be cautious about the pace of their recovery."

"I want to note the excellent performance of our employees in such uncertain times," Scarborough said. "They have maintained their focus on serving our customers, operating our businesses, and laying the groundwork for the future. This has been hard work, and they've done a tremendous job."

Third Quarter, 2009 Results by Segment

All references to sales reflect comparisons on an organic basis, which exclude the impact of acquisitions and foreign currency translation. All references to operating margin exclude the impact of restructuring, asset impairment charges, lease cancellation costs, and other items.

Pressure-sensitive Materials (PSM)

-- Roll Materials sales declined, reflecting weakness in end-markets. Sales continued to decline in the more economically sensitive Graphics and Reflective Products division.

-- Operating margin increased as productivity offset the impact of reduced fixed-cost leverage, while the effects of pricing and raw material trends continued to cover the cumulative impact of 2008 inflation.

Retail Information Services (RIS)

-- The decline in sales primarily reflected reduced demand for apparel in the U.S. and in Europe, and caution on the part of retailers.

-- The decline in operating margin reflected reduced fixed-cost leverage, pricing, and other factors that more than offset the benefit of restructuring and productivity actions.

-- The Company is continuing initiatives to reduce fixed costs in light of current market conditions, while introducing new products and improving value-added services to increase its share of this large market.

Office and Consumer Products (OCP)

-- The decline in sales reflected weak end-market demand, led by slower corporate purchase activity. The sales decline was partially offset by strong back-to-school sales, due in part to expanded distribution and consumer trade-up to more durable binders.

-- Operating margin declined as the benefit of productivity actions was more than offset by the impact of reduced fixed-cost leverage.

Other specialty converting businesses

-- The decline in sales is primarily attributable to lower volume of products sold to the housing and construction industries.

-- The increase in operating margin reflected restructuring and productivity improvements that more than offset reduced fixed-cost leverage.

Consolidated Items and Actions

-- In the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company began a restructuring program expected to reduce costs across all segments of the business. The Company is targeting $160 million in annualized savings by mid-2010 (estimating $75 million benefit, net of transition costs, in 2009). The Company estimates that it will incur approximately $130 million of total restructuring charges associated with these actions, with approximately $110 million to be incurred in 2009. In addition to the savings from these new actions, the Company expects approximately $40 million of carryover savings in the year from previously implemented actions. At the end of the third quarter of 2009, the Company achieved run-rate savings representing approximately 70 percent of its restructuring target.

-- The effective tax rate in the third quarter was negative 7 percent, while the adjusted tax rate was positive 7.5 percent. The effective and adjusted tax rates for the full year are expected to be in the low single-digits and low double-digits, respectively. The ongoing annual tax rate is expected to be in the low 20 percent range, varying significantly from quarter to quarter.

Certain statements contained in this document are "forward-looking statements" intended to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. 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; 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; 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, including a previous government investigation into industry competitive practices, and any related proceedings or lawsuits pertaining thereto or to the subject matter thereof related to the concluded investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ") (including purported class actions seeking treble damages for alleged unlawful competitive practices, which were filed after the announcement of the DOJ investigation), as well as the impact of potential violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act; 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.

The Company believes that the most significant risk factors that could affect its financial performance in the near-term include (1) the impact of economic conditions on underlying demand for the Company's products and on the carrying value of its assets; (2) the impact of competitors' actions, including pricing, expansion in key markets, and product offerings; (3) the degree to which higher costs can be offset with productivity measures and/or passed on to customers through selling price increases, without a significant loss of volume; (4) the impact of an increase in costs associated with the Company's debt; and (5) the ability of the Company to achieve and sustain targeted cost reductions.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures in Accordance with
SEC Regulations G and S-K
Avery Dennison reports financial results in accordance with U.S.
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, 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.
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 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 settlement
costs, certain effects of acquisitions and related integration
costs, loss from debt extinguishment, gains on sales of assets,
etc.), from certain of the Company's GAAP 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 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 adjusts the
estimated full-year GAAP tax rate to exclude the tax rate effect
of charges for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset
impairments to determine its anticipated adjusted non-GAAP tax
rate to derive non-GAAP net income.
Limitations associated with the use of the Company's non-GAAP
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 extinguishment) from
calculations of the Company's earnings and operating margin; (2)
the exclusion of certain effects of acquisitions, including
integration costs and certain financing costs; (3) the exclusion
of interest expense from the calculation of the Company's
operating margin; and (4) the exclusion of any 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 repurchase, acquisitions, etc.)
for calculation of free cash flow.While certain items that the
Company excludes from GAAP measures recur, these items tend to be
disparate in amount and timing.Based upon feedback from
investors and financial analysts, the Company believes that
supplemental non-GAAP measures provide information that is useful
to the assessment of the Company's performance and operating
trends.
The reconciliation set forth below 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.
