Factors Likely to Have Shaped AVY’s Q3 Performance
Avery Dennison’s third-quarter results are likely to have reflected improved volumes in both its segments. However, higher raw material, labor and freight costs are expected to have impacted the company’s margins. The impacts are anticipated to have been offset by AVY’s productivity improvement and cost-saving actions.
Our model predicts the Materials Group segment’s revenues to rise 1.1% year over year in the quarter to $1.51 billion. The upside will be driven by growth in the base business and high-value categories led by specialty labels. Our estimate for the Materials Group segment’s adjusted operating profit is pinned at $219 million, indicating a year-over-year fall of 1.4%.
Normalized growth in apparel is expected to have aided the Solutions Group segment's growth. Also, the Intelligent Labels adoption is increasing in new categories, which is likely to have aided the segment’s quarterly performance. Our model predicts the Solutions Group segment’s revenues to be $695 million, indicating an increase of 1.4% from the prior-year quarter’s actual.
Our estimate for the segment’s operating profit is pinned at $74 million, indicating a decrease of 4.4% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
