Factors Likely to Have Shaped AVY’s Q2 Performance

Avery Dennison’s Materials Group segment continues to gain from productivity improvement and modest volume. Our model predicts the Materials Group segment’s revenues to rise 4.1% year over year in the quarter to $1.61 billion. The upside will be driven by growth in high-value categories, including Intelligent Labels, and growth in graphics and reflectives. 

Our estimate for the Materials Group segment’s adjusted operating profit is pinned at $258 million, indicating year-over-year growth of 6.3%.

High-value categories and productivity are expected to have aided the Solutions Group segment's growth. Our model predicts the Solutions Group segment’s revenues to be $672 million, indicating an increase of 0.3% from the prior-year quarter’s actual. However, the segment is facing softer auto end-market demand and customer order timing in some higher-value platforms. 

Our estimate for the segment’s operating profit is pinned at $66 million, implying a decrease of 0.5% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.

Moreover, the company expects a sequential headwind in the second quarter from destocking tied to a March pre-buy. These swings can create quarterly variability and delay the conversion of longer-cycle growth initiatives.

Rising input 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.
