FISCAL SECOND QUARTER 2015 QUARTERLY REPORT ON FORM 10-Q
The matters discussed in this Quarterly Report contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements, which are not statements of historical fact, contain estimates, assumptions, projections and/or expectations regarding future events, which may or may not occur. Words such as “aim,” “anticipate,” “assume,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “foresee,” “guidance,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “objective,” “plan,” “potential,” “project,” “seek,” “shall,” “should,” “target,” “will,” “would,” or variations thereof, and other expressions that refer to future events and trends, identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements, and financial or other business targets, are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, which could cause our actual results to differ materially from the expected results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
Certain risks and uncertainties are discussed in more detail under “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2015 and include, but are not limited to, risks and uncertainties relating to the following: fluctuations in demand affecting sales to customers; worldwide and local economic conditions; fluctuations in currency exchange rates and other risks associated with foreign operations, including in emerging markets; the financial condition and inventory strategies of customers; changes in customer preferences; fluctuations in cost and availability of raw materials; our ability to generate sustained productivity improvement; our ability to achieve and sustain targeted cost reductions; the impact of competitive products and pricing; loss of significant contracts or customers; collection of receivables from customers; selling prices; business mix shift; timely development and market acceptance of new products, including sustainable or sustainably-sourced products; investment in development activities and new production facilities; integration of acquisitions and completion of potential dispositions; amounts of future dividends and share repurchases; customer and supplier concentrations; successful implementation of new manufacturing technologies and installation of manufacturing equipment; disruptions in information technology systems, including cyber-attacks or other intrusions to network security; successful installation of new or upgraded information technology systems; data security breaches; volatility of financial markets; impairment of capitalized assets, including goodwill and other intangibles; credit risks; our ability to obtain adequate financing arrangements and maintain access to capital; fluctuations in interest and tax rates; changes in tax laws and regulations, and uncertainties associated with interpretations of such laws and regulations; outcome of tax audits; fluctuations in pension, insurance, and employee benefit costs; the impact of legal and regulatory proceedings, including with respect to environmental, health and safety; changes in governmental laws and regulations; protection and infringement of intellectual property; changes in political conditions; the impact of epidemiological events on the economy and our customers and suppliers; acts of war, terrorism, and natural disasters; and other factors.
We believe that the most significant risk factors that could affect our financial performance in the near-term include: (1) the impacts of economic conditions on underlying demand for our products and foreign currency fluctuations; (2) competitors’ actions, including pricing, expansion in key markets, and product offerings; and (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.
Our forward-looking statements are made only as of the date hereof. We assume no duty to update these forward-looking statements to reflect new, changed or unanticipated events or circumstances, other than as may be required by law.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. General
The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are presented as permitted by Article 10 of Regulation S-X and do not contain certain information included in the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which should be read in conjunction with this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of our interim results.
Fiscal Period
The second quarters of 2015 and 2014 consisted of thirteen-week periods ending July 4, 2015 and June 28, 2014, respectively. The six months ended July 4, 2015 and June 28, 2014 consisted of twenty-six-week periods. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of future results.
Note 2. Sale of Product Line and Discontinued Operations
Sale of Product Line
In May 2015, we sold certain assets and transferred certain liabilities associated with a product line in our Retail Branding and Information Solutions (“RBIS”) reportable segment for $1.5 million. This sale resulted in a pretax loss which, when combined with exit costs related to the sale, totaled $7.7 million in the second quarter of 2015. The exit costs included $3.4 million of severance costs, of which $.1 million had been paid as of July 4, 2015. In the first quarter of 2015, we recorded an impairment charge of approximately $2 million related to certain long-lived assets of this product line as well as $.6 million of other costs related to this sale. This loss and these costs were included in “Other expense, net” in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
Discontinued Operations
Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, during the second quarter and six months ended July 4, 2015 included $1 million of tax expense related to the completion of certain tax return filings related to the sale of our former Office and Consumer Products (“OCP”) and Designed and Engineered Solutions (“DES”) businesses. Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, during the second quarter and six months ended June 28, 2014 included costs related to the resolution of certain post-closing adjustments from the sale of the OCP and DES businesses. We continue to be subject to certain indemnification obligations under the terms of the purchase agreement. In addition, the tax liability associated with the sale is subject to completion of remaining tax return filings in certain foreign jurisdictions where we operated the OCP and DES businesses.

Avery Dennison Corporation
There was no goodwill associated with our Vancive Medical Technologies reportable segment.
Note 5. Debt and Capital Leases
The estimated fair value of our long-term debt is primarily based on the credit spread above U.S. Treasury securities on notes with similar rates, credit ratings, and remaining maturities. The fair value of short-term borrowings, which include commercial paper issuances and short-term lines of credit, approximates carrying value given the short duration of these obligations. The fair value of our total debt was $1.21 billion at July 4, 2015 and $1.22 billion at January 3, 2015. Fair value amounts were determined based primarily on Level 2 inputs, which are inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable.
Our various loan agreements require that we maintain specified financial covenant ratios of total debt and interest expense in relation to certain measures of income. We were in compliance with our financial covenants as of July 4, 2015.
In May 2015, we extended and amended the lease on our Mentor, Ohio facility for an additional ten years. This facility is used primarily for the North American headquarters and research center of our Materials Group business. Because ownership of the facility transfers to us at the end of the lease term, it was accounted for as a capital lease. The carrying value of the lease at inception was approximately $26 million, of which approximately $24 million was included in “Long-term debt and capital leases” and approximately $2 million was included in “Short-term borrowings and current portion of long-term debt and capital leases” in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at July 4, 2015.
Note 6. Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits
Defined Benefit Plans
We sponsor a number of defined benefit plans, the accrual of benefits under some of which has been frozen, covering eligible employees in the U.S. and certain other countries. Benefits payable to an employee are based primarily on years of service and the employee’s compensation during the course of his or her employment with us.
We are also obligated to pay unfunded termination indemnity benefits to certain employees outside of the U.S., which are subject to applicable agreements, laws and regulations. We have not incurred significant costs related to termination indemnity arrangements, and therefore, no related costs are included in the disclosures below.
The following table sets forth the components of net periodic benefit cost (credit), which are recorded in income from continuing operations, for our defined benefit plans:

Note 7. Research and Development
Research and development expense from continuing operations was $22.8 million and $48.4 million for the three and six months ended July 4, 2015, respectively, and $26.9 million and $51.9 million for the three and six months ended June 28, 2014, respectively. This expense was included in “Marketing, general and administrative expense” in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
Note 8. Long-Term Incentive Compensation
Equity Awards
Stock-based compensation expense from continuing operations was $5.8 million and $13.2 million for the three and six months ended July 4, 2015, respectively, and $8.5 million and $14.5 million for the three and six months ended June 28, 2014, respectively. This expense was included in “Marketing, general and administrative expense” in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
As of July 4, 2015, we had approximately $41 million of unrecognized compensation expense from continuing operations related to unvested stock-based awards, which is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average period of approximately three years.
Cash Awards
Compensation expense from continuing operations related to long-term incentive units was $10.1 million and $15.3 million for the three and six months ended July 4, 2015, respectively, and $4.6 million and $9.9 million for the three and six months ended June 28, 2014, respectively. This expense was included in “Marketing, general and administrative expense” in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
Note 9. Cost Reduction Actions
2014/2015 Actions
During the six months ended July 4, 2015, we recorded $33.9 million in restructuring charges, net of reversals, related to restructuring actions we initiated in 2014 that are continuing through 2015 (“2014/2015 Actions”). These charges consisted of severance and related costs for the reduction of approximately 605 positions, lease cancellation costs, and asset impairment charges.
In 2014, we recorded $66.5 million in restructuring charges, net of reversals, related to our 2014/2015 Actions. These charges consisted of severance and related costs for the reduction of approximately 1,420 positions, lease cancellation costs, and asset impairment charges.
Approximately 245 employees impacted by our 2014/2015 Actions remained employed with us as of July 4, 2015. We expect charges and payments related to these actions to be substantially completed in 2015.
Avery Dennison Corporation
Accruals for severance and related costs and lease cancellation costs were included in “Other current liabilities” in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Asset impairment charges were based on the estimated market value of the assets. Restructuring costs were included in “Other expense, net” in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Note 10. Financial Instruments
We enter into foreign exchange hedge contracts to reduce our risk from exchange rate fluctuations associated with receivables, payables, loans and firm commitments denominated in certain foreign currencies that arise primarily as a result of our operations outside the U.S. We enter into interest rate contracts to help manage our exposure to certain interest rate fluctuations. We also enter into futures contracts to hedge certain price fluctuations for a portion of our anticipated domestic purchases of natural gas. The maximum length of time for which we hedge our exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions is 36 months.
As of July 4, 2015, the aggregate U.S. dollar equivalent notional value of our outstanding commodity contracts and foreign exchange contracts was $3.4 million and $1.2 billion, respectively.
We recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We designate commodity forward contracts on forecasted purchases of commodities and foreign exchange contracts on forecasted transactions as cash flow hedges and foreign exchange contracts on existing balance sheet items as fair value hedges.

Fair Value Hedges
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative and the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in current earnings, resulting in no material net impact to income.
The following table provides the components of net gain (loss) recognized in income related to fair value hedge contracts. The corresponding gains or losses on the underlying hedged items approximated the net gain (loss) on these fair value hedge contracts.

Cash Flow Hedges
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” and reclassified into earnings in the same period(s) during which the hedged transaction impacts earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative, representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness, are recognized in current earnings.
Gains (losses) recognized in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” (effective portion) on derivatives related to cash flow hedge contracts were as follows:

As of July 4, 2015, we expected a net gain of approximately $1 million to be reclassified from “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” to earnings within the next 12 months. See Note 13, “Comprehensive Income,” for more information.

The effective tax rate for continuing operations for the three and six months ended July 4, 2015 included $5.3 million of tax expense associated with the tax cost to repatriate non-permanently reinvested 2015 earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries; $.5 million of tax expense due to non-deductible employee-related expenses; and $.7 million and $4.1 million of tax benefits, respectively, due to decreases in certain tax reserves as a result of closing tax years. Additionally, the effective tax rate for the six months ended July 4, 2015 included $1.6 million of net tax benefit related to changes in the effective tax rates in certain foreign municipalities.
The effective tax rate for continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 28, 2014 included $5.8 million of net tax expense and $3.7 million of net tax benefit, respectively, as a result of changes in certain tax reserves and valuation allowances. Both the three and six months ended June 28, 2014 included $6.1 million of tax expense from an out-of-period adjustment to properly reflect the valuation allowance related to state deferred tax assets and $6 million of tax expense related to our change in estimate of the potential outcome of uncertain tax issues in China. These expense items were offset by $6.3 million and $15.8 million of tax benefits in the three and six months ended June 28, 2014, respectively, due primarily to decreases in certain tax reserves as a result of closing tax years. Additionally, the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 28, 2014 included $4.8 million of tax benefit from out-of-period adjustments to properly reflect deferred taxes related to acquisitions completed in 2002 and 2003. The impact of the out-of-period adjustments was not material to the periods reported and any previous financial statements.
The amount of income taxes we pay is subject to ongoing audits by taxing jurisdictions around the world. Our estimate of the potential outcome of any uncertain tax issue is subject to our assessment of the relevant risks, facts, and circumstances existing at the time. We believe that we have adequately provided for reasonably foreseeable outcomes related to these matters. However, our future results may include favorable or unfavorable adjustments to our estimated tax liabilities in the period the assessments are made or resolved, which may impact our effective tax rate. With some exceptions, we and our subsidiaries are no longer subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2006.
It is reasonably possible that, during the next 12 months, we may realize a decrease in our uncertain tax positions, including interest and penalties, of approximately $11 million, primarily as a result of closing tax years.

Trading securities include fixed income securities (primarily U.S. government and corporate debt securities) measured at fair value using quoted prices/bids and a money market fund measured at fair value using net asset value. As of July 4, 2015, trading securities of $.5 million and $17.5 million were included in “Cash and cash equivalents” and “Other current assets,” respectively, in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of January 3, 2015, trading securities of $.8 million and $17.1 million were included in “Cash and cash equivalents” and “Other current assets,” respectively, in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Derivatives that are exchange-traded are measured at fair value using quoted market prices and are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Derivatives measured based on foreign exchange rate inputs that are readily available in public markets are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.
Note 15. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
We are involved in various lawsuits, claims, inquiries, and other regulatory and compliance matters, most of which are routine to the nature of our business. We have accrued liabilities for matters where it is probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Because of the uncertainties associated with claims resolution and litigation, future expenses to resolve these matters could be higher than the liabilities we have accrued; however, we are unable to reasonably estimate a range of potential expenses. If information were to become available that allowed us to reasonably estimate a range of potential expenses in an amount higher or lower than what we have accrued, we would adjust our accrued liabilities accordingly. Additional lawsuits, claims, inquiries, and other regulatory and compliance matters could arise in the future. The range of expenses for resolving any future matters would be assessed as they arise; until then, a range of potential expenses for such resolution cannot be determined. Based upon current information, we believe that the impact of the resolution of these matters would not be, individually or in the aggregate, material to our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Environmental
As of July 4, 2015, we have been designated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and/or other responsible state agencies as a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) at thirteen waste disposal or waste recycling sites, which are the subject of separate investigations or proceedings concerning alleged soil and/or groundwater contamination and for which no settlement of our liability has been agreed. We are participating with other PRPs at these sites, and anticipate that our share of remediation costs will be determined pursuant to agreements entered into in the normal course of negotiations with the EPA or other governmental authorities.
Avery Dennison Corporation
We have accrued liabilities for sites where it is probable that a loss will be incurred and the cost or amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. These estimates could change as a result of changes in planned remedial actions, remediation technologies, site conditions, the estimated time to complete remediation, environmental laws and regulations, and other factors. Because of the uncertainties associated with environmental assessment and remediation activities, future expenses to remediate these sites could be higher than the liabilities we have accrued; however, we are unable to reasonably estimate a range of potential expenses. If information were to become available that allowed us to reasonably estimate a range of potential expenses in an amount higher or lower than what we have accrued, we would adjust our environmental liabilities accordingly. In addition, we may be identified as a PRP at additional sites in the future. The range of expenses for remediation of any future-identified sites would be addressed as they arise; until then, a range of expenses for such remediation cannot be determined.
The activity for the six months ended July 4, 2015 related to our environmental liabilities was as follows:

As of July 4, 2015, approximately $11 million of the balance was classified as short-term and included in “Other current liabilities” in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Guarantees
We participate in receivable financing programs with several financial institutions whereby advances may be requested from these financial institutions. We guarantee the collection of the related receivables. At July 4, 2015, the outstanding amount guaranteed was approximately $18 million. We believe our exposure to these guarantees is not material.
Unused letters of credit (primarily standby) outstanding with various financial institutions were approximately $47 million at July 4, 2015.

Note 17. Recent Accounting Requirements
In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) amended guidance to simplify the subsequent measurement of inventory by requiring inventory to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those years. We do not anticipate that adoption of this amended guidance will have a significant impact on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or disclosures.
In May 2015, the FASB amended guidance to remove the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient. Additionally, the amended guidance removes the requirement to make certain disclosures for all investments that are eligible to be measured at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. Most of the plan assets in our U.S. and international pension plans are invested in funds that are valued at net asset value. Although we do not anticipate that adoption of this guidance will have a significant impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, the adoption of this amended guidance may result in a significant amount of plan assets not being disclosed within the fair value hierarchy.
In April 2015, the FASB issued guidance about accounting for fees paid in a cloud computing arrangement. Examples of cloud computing arrangements include software as a service, platform as a service, infrastructure as a service, and other similar hosting arrangements. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, as clarified in the guidance, then the software license element of the arrangement should be accounted for consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the arrangement should be accounted for as a service contract. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years and may be adopted prospectively or retrospectively. We do not anticipate that adoption of this guidance will have a significant impact on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or disclosures.
In April 2015, the FASB revised guidance to allow employers with fiscal year-ends that do not coincide with a calendar month-end to make an accounting policy election to measure defined benefit plan assets and obligations as of the end of the calendar month closest to their fiscal year-end. Employers that make this election must apply the alternative measurement date to all defined benefit plans. The guidance also allows all employers to elect to remeasure defined plan assets and obligations in interim periods at the closest calendar month-end to an event that triggers the remeasurement. This revised guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not anticipate that adoption of this revised guidance will have a significant impact on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or disclosures.
In April 2015, the FASB revised guidance on the presentation of debt issuance costs. Under this revised guidance, debt issuance costs should be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt, consistent with the presentation of a debt discount. This revised guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not anticipate that adoption of this revised guidance will have a significant impact on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or disclosures.
In May 2014, the FASB issued revised guidance on revenue recognition. This revised guidance provides a single comprehensive model for accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This revised guidance will require an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This update creates a five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of contract(s), which includes (i) identifying the contract(s) with the customer, (ii) identifying the separate performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determining the transaction price, (iv) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (v) recognizing revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. This revised guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including qualitative and quantitative information about contracts with customers, significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. This revised guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those years, and can be applied retrospectively either to each prior reporting period presented or with the cumulative effect of adoption recognized at the date of initial application. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We are evaluating the impact of this revised guidance, but based on the information that we have evaluated to date, we do not anticipate its adoption to have a significant impact on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or disclosures.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, or MD&A, provides management’s views on our financial condition and results of operations, should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto, and includes the following sections:
We report 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 presentation of our financial results that are prepared in accordance with GAAP. Based upon feedback from our investors and financial analysts, we believe that supplemental non-GAAP financial measures provide information that is useful to the assessment of our performance and operating trends, as well as liquidity. The measures we use may not be comparable to similarly named non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
Our non-GAAP financial measures exclude the impact of certain events, activities or strategic decisions. By excluding certain accounting effects, both positive and negative, of certain items, we believe that we are providing meaningful supplemental information to facilitate an understanding of our core operating results and liquidity measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are used internally to evaluate trends in our underlying performance, as well as to facilitate comparison to the results of competitors for a single period. 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 following non-GAAP financial measures in this MD&A:
· Organic sales change refers to the increase or decrease in sales excluding the estimated impact of currency translation, product line exits, acquisitions and divestitures, and, where applicable, an extra week in the current or preceding fiscal year. The estimated impact of 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. We believe organic sales change assists investors in evaluating the underlying sales growth from the ongoing activities of our businesses and provides improved comparability of results period to period.
· Free cash flow refers to cash flow from operations, 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 sales (purchases) of investments. Free cash flow excludes uses of cash that do not directly or immediately support the underlying business, such as discretionary debt reductions, dividends, share repurchases, and certain effects of acquisitions and divestitures (e.g., cash flow from discontinued operations, taxes, and transaction costs).
· Operational working capital refers to trade accounts receivable and inventories, net of accounts payable, and excludes cash and cash equivalents, short-term borrowings, deferred taxes, other current assets and other current liabilities, as well as current assets and current liabilities of held-for-sale businesses. We use this non-GAAP financial measure to assess our working capital requirements because it excludes the impact of fluctuations attributable to our financing and other activities (which affect cash and cash equivalents, deferred taxes, other current assets, and other current liabilities) that tend to be disparate in amount, frequency, or timing, and that may increase the volatility of the working capital as a percentage of sales from period to period. Additionally, the excluded items are not significantly influenced by our day-to-day activities managed at the operating level and may not reflect the underlying trends in our operations.

Income from Continuing Operations
Income from continuing operations increased approximately $20 million in both the second quarter and first six months of 2015 compared to the same periods last year. Major factors affecting income from continuing operations in the first six months of 2015 included:
Positive factors:
· Benefits from productivity initiatives, including savings from restructuring actions, net of transition costs
· Higher volume and improved product mix
· Lower restructuring costs
Offsetting factors:
· Higher employee-related costs
· Foreign currency translation
· Higher income taxes
· Loss on sale of our industrial printer product line in our RBIS reportable segment and exit costs related to the sale
Sale of Product Line
In May 2015, we sold certain assets and transferred certain liabilities associated with a product line in our RBIS reportable segment for $1.5 million. This sale resulted in a pretax loss which, when combined with exit costs related to the sale, totaled $7.7 million in the second quarter of 2015. The exit costs included $3.4 million of severance costs, of which $.1 million had been paid as of July 4, 2015. In the first quarter of 2015, we recorded an impairment charge of approximately $2 million related to certain long-lived assets of this product line as well as $.6 million of other costs related to this sale. This loss and these costs were included in “Other expense, net” in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
Cost Reduction Actions
2014/2015 Actions
During the first six months of 2015, we recorded $33.9 million in restructuring charges, net of reversals, related to restructuring actions we initiated in 2014 that are continuing through 2015 (“2014/2015 Actions”). These charges consisted of severance and related costs for the reduction of approximately 605 positions, lease cancellation costs, and asset impairment charges.
In 2014, we recorded $66.5 million in restructuring charges, net of reversals, related to our 2014/2015 Actions. These charges consisted of severance and related costs for the reduction of approximately 1,420 positions, lease cancellation costs, and asset impairment charges.
Approximately 245 employees impacted by our 2014/2015 Actions remained employed with us as of July 4, 2015. We expect charges and payments related to these actions to be substantially completed in 2015.
In 2015, we expect to realize at least $70 million in savings, net of transition costs, from our 2014/2015 Actions. We anticipate carryover savings from our 2014/2015 Actions in 2016.
Restructuring costs are included in “Other expense, net” in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Refer to Note 9, “Cost Reduction Actions,” to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Free cash flow in the first six months of 2015 improved compared to 2014 primarily due to the timing of vendor payments, lower incentive compensation paid in 2015 for the 2014 performance year, and lower capital expenditures in 2015.
2015 Outlook
Certain factors that we believe may contribute to results for 2015 are described below:
· We expect organic sales growth of approximately 3.5% to 4% in 2015 compared to 2014.
· We expect earnings to increase in 2015 compared to 2014.
· We estimate cash restructuring costs of approximately $50 million in 2015.
· We expect our full year 2015 tax rate to be in the low to mid-thirty percent range.
· We anticipate our capital and software expenditures in 2015 to be approximately $160 million.

Provision for Income Taxes
The effective tax rate for continuing operations for the three months ended July 4, 2015 included $5.3 million of tax expense associated with the tax cost to repatriate non-permanently reinvested 2015 earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries, $.5 million of tax expense due to non-deductible employee-related expenses and $.7 million of tax benefit due to decreases in certain tax reserves as a result of closing tax years.
The effective tax rate for continuing operations for the three months ended June 28, 2014 included $5.8 million of net tax expense as a result of changes in certain tax reserves and valuation allowances. This net tax expense included $6.1 million of tax expense from an out-of-period adjustment to properly reflect the valuation allowance related to state deferred tax assets and $6 million of tax expense related to our change in estimate of the potential outcome of uncertain tax issues in China. These expense items were offset by $6.3 million of tax benefits due primarily to decreases in tax reserves as a result of closing tax years.
Our effective tax rate can vary widely from quarter to quarter due to interim reporting requirements, the recognition of discrete events and the timing of repatriation of foreign earnings. Refer to Note 11, “Taxes Based on Income,” to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

The effective tax rate for continuing operations for the six months ended June 28, 2014 included $3.7 million of net tax benefit as a result of changes in certain tax reserves and valuation allowances and $4.8 million of tax benefit from out-of-period adjustments to properly reflect deferred taxes related to acquisitions completed in 2002 and 2003. The $3.7 million of net tax benefit included $6.1 million of tax expense from an out-of-period adjustment to properly reflect the valuation allowance related to state deferred tax assets and $6 million of tax expense related to our change in estimate of the potential outcome of uncertain tax issues in China. These expense items were more than offset by $15.8 million of tax benefits due primarily to decreases in certain tax reserves as a result of closing tax years.
Our effective tax rate can vary widely from quarter to quarter due to interim reporting requirements, the recognition of discrete events and the timing of repatriation of foreign earnings.

Borrowings and Repayment of Debt
Given the seasonality of our cash flow during the first six months of 2015 and 2014, our commercial paper borrowings were used mainly to fund share repurchase activity, dividends, and capital expenditures. In addition, during the second quarter of 2015, we repaid a $5 million medium-term note. Refer to “Share Repurchases” below for more information.
Avery Dennison Corporation
Dividend Payments
We paid dividends of $.72 per share in the first six months of 2015 compared to $.64 per share in the same period last year. In April 2015, we increased our quarterly dividend to $.37 per share, representing a 6% increase from our previous dividend rate of $.35 per share.
Share Repurchases
During the first six months of 2015, we repurchased approximately 1.1 million shares of our common stock at an aggregate cost of $61.5 million. During the first six months of 2014, we repurchased approximately 3.1 million shares of our common stock at an aggregate cost of $153.4 million.
As of July 4, 2015, shares of our common stock in the aggregate amount of approximately $538 million remained authorized for repurchase under outstanding board authorizations.
Analysis of Selected Balance Sheet Accounts
Long-lived Assets
In the six months ended July 4, 2015, goodwill decreased by approximately $23 million to $698 million as result of the impact of foreign currency translation.
In the six months ended July 4, 2015, other intangibles resulting from business acquisitions, net, decreased by approximately $12 million to $56 million, which reflected current year amortization expense and the impact of foreign currency translation.
Refer to Note 4, “Goodwill,” to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.
In the six months ended July 4, 2015, other assets decreased by approximately $14 million to $449 million, which reflected amortization expense related to software and other deferred charges, net of purchases and the impact of foreign currency translation, partially offset by an increase in the cash surrender value of our corporate-owned life insurance.
Shareholders’ Equity Accounts
In the six months ended July 4, 2015, the balance of our shareholders’ equity increased by approximately $30 million to $1.1 billion, which primarily reflected net income and the use of treasury shares to settle exercises of stock options and vesting of stock-based awards and fund contributions to our U.S. defined contribution plan, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation, share repurchases, and dividend payments.

International operations generated approximately 74% of our net sales during the six months ended July 4, 2015. Our future results are subject to changes in political and economic conditions in the regions in which we operate and the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange and interest rates.
The unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation on net sales in the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period last year was primarily related to euro-denominated sales.
Effect of Foreign Currency Transactions
The impact on net income from transactions denominated in foreign currencies may be mitigated because the costs of our products are generally denominated in the same currencies in which they are sold. In addition, to reduce our income and cash flow exposure to transactions in foreign currencies, we enter into foreign exchange forward, option and swap contracts where available and appropriate.
Analysis of Selected Financial Ratios
We utilize the financial ratios discussed below to assess our financial condition and operating performance.
Avery Dennison Corporation
Working Capital and Operational Working Capital Ratios
Working capital (current assets minus current liabilities and net assets held for sale), as a percentage of annualized net sales, improved in the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period last year, primarily due to a decrease in net trade accounts receivable and inventories, partially offset by a decrease in short-term and the current portion of long-term debt.
Operational working capital, as a percentage of annualized net sales, is reconciled with working capital below. Our objective is to minimize our investment in operational working capital, as a percentage of annualized net sales, to maximize cash flow and return on investment.

As a percentage of annualized net sales, operational working capital for the first six months of 2015 improved compared to the same period in the prior year. The primary factors contributing to this change, which includes the impact of foreign currency translation, are discussed below.
Accounts Receivable Ratio
The average number of days sales outstanding was 60 days in the first six months of 2015 compared to 63 days in the first six months of 2014. The average number of days outstanding was calculated using the two-quarter average trade accounts receivable balance divided by the average daily sales for the first six months of 2015 and 2014, respectively. The current year average number of days sales outstanding primarily reflected the timing of collections and the effect of foreign currency translation, which decreased the average number of days sales outstanding by approximately one day.
Inventory Ratio
Average inventory turnover increased modestly to 8.6 in the first six months of 2015 from 8.4 in the first six months of 2014. The average inventory turnover was calculated using the annualized cost of sales (cost of sales for the first six months, multiplied by two) divided by the two-quarter average inventory balance.
Accounts Payable Ratio
The average number of days payable outstanding was 70 days in the first six months of 2015 compared to 69 days in the first six months of 2014. The average number of days payable outstanding was calculated using the two-quarter average accounts payable balance divided by the average daily cost of products sold for the first six months of 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase in current year average number of days payable outstanding primarily reflected the effect of foreign currency translation.
Capital Resources
Capital resources include cash flows from operations, cash and cash equivalents and debt financing. At July 4, 2015, we had cash and cash equivalents of $246 million held in accounts at third-party financial institutions.
Our cash balances are held in numerous locations throughout the world. At July 4, 2015, the majority of our cash and cash equivalents was held by our foreign subsidiaries. To meet U.S. cash requirements, we have several cost-effective liquidity options available. These options include borrowing funds at reasonable rates, including borrowings from foreign subsidiaries, and repatriating foreign earnings. However, if we were to repatriate incremental foreign earnings, we could be subject to additional taxes in the U.S.
Our $700 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”), which is used as a back-up facility for our commercial paper program and can be used to finance other corporate requirements, matures on October 3, 2019. The maturity date may be extended for additional one-year periods under certain circumstances. The commitments under the Revolver may be increased by up to $325 million, subject to
Avery Dennison Corporation
lender approval and other customary requirements. As of July 4, 2015, there was no balance outstanding under the Revolver. Refer to Note 5, “Debt and Capital Leases,” to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.
We are exposed to financial market risk resulting from changes in interest and foreign currency rates, and to possible liquidity and credit risks of our counterparties.
Capital from Debt
Our total debt increased by approximately $2 million in the first six months of 2015 to $1.15 billion, primarily reflecting the financing of our Mentor, Ohio facility as a capital lease and an increase in commercial paper borrowings to fund share repurchase activity, dividends, and capital expenditures given the seasonality of our cash flow during the year, partially offset by a decrease in short-term borrowings and the repayment of a medium-term note.
Credit ratings are a significant factor in our ability to raise short- and long-term financing. The credit ratings assigned to us also impact the interest rates paid and our access to commercial paper, credit facilities, and other borrowings. A downgrade of our short-term credit ratings below current levels could impact our ability to access the commercial paper markets. If our access to commercial paper markets were to become limited, the Revolver and our other credit facilities would be available to meet our short-term funding requirements, if necessary. When determining a credit rating, we believe that rating agencies primarily consider our competitive position, business outlook, consistency of cash flows, debt level and liquidity, geographic dispersion and management team. We remain committed to maintaining an investment grade rating.

There have been no material changes to the information provided in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2015.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding the required disclosure.
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its judgement in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Our disclosure controls system is based upon a global chain of financial and general business reporting lines that converge in our headquarters in Glendale, California. As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the quarter covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of such time to provide reasonable assurance that information was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information was accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding the required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We periodically assess our internal control environment. During 2014, we began a phased implementation of a new transactional system in our RBIS segment that is expected to continue through 2017. Processes affected by this implementation include, among other things, order management, pricing, shipping, general accounting and planning. Where appropriate, we are reviewing related internal controls and make changes. Except for this implementation, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
